This project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, is creating a community memory of the impact of the First World War on Lancaster. The project is a three way partnership between Lancaster Military Heritage Group, Lancaster University's Department of History and Lancaster University's School of Computing and Communications.
The 1911 census records Lancaster as having 41,000 inhabitants, 1,055 of these would be killed in the First World War. Who were these people? What impact did their loss have on the town? What was it like for the men who went to war and survived? What was the impact of the War on people at home?
To answer these questions we draw heavily on material from the Lancaster War Memorials website created by Lancaster Military Heritage Group. This provides us with information about the men who were killed. We also want the stories and artefacts of those who lived through the War where they still remain within the town. We will be holding a number of events where we hope people will bring us their stories, letters, diaries, medals and so on that survive from that time.
If you have any information on Lancaster or its inhabitants in the First World War then email us at: email@example.com

Healthy Eating Tips
The experts share their secrets for healthy eating. Step one: Ditch the processed foods.
Everyday Health: What is your number one tip for healthy eating?
Misti K. Gueron, MS, RD (khalilicenter.com)
Schedule your meal times.
Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD (oneileating.blogspot.com)
Think before your drink. Remember that beverages contribute 22 percent of total calories to our diet so make your cups count toward hydration and good nutrition. Skip the sugar-added sodas.
Tina Ruggiero, MS, RD, LD (gourmetnutritionist.com)
There's actually a definition for "healthy eating," so providing one tip is really not a service to readers; however, if I have to reduce the definition to one tip, I'd say, "Avoid processed foods."
Lisa De Fazio, MS, RD (lisadefazio.com)
Keep your refrigerator and pantry stocked with healthy food. This takes going to the market once or twice per week. When you are hungry, there is nothing worse than going into the refrigerator and finding out that there is nothing to eat! Then you end up ordering pizza or Chinese food, or mindlessly munching on whatever you can find such as cheese, crackers, chips or nuts. If you always have fresh fruits and vegetables, sliced turkey breast deli meat, fresh whole-wheat bread, low-fat cheese, yogurt, cooked pasta, cooked chicken breast, salads, etc., in the fridge, you will stay on track with healthy eating!
Ashley Koff, RD (AshleyKoffApproved.com)
To achieve nutrition for optimal health, everyone should be a Qualitarian (like me!). A Qualitarian chooses the best quality food available at every eating occasion. It is not always about fish being better than steak for example farmed fish can be lower in quality than grass fed organic meat. This needs to be taken into consideration when looking at the types of food you are eating.
Autumn Hoverter, MS, RD, CD (foodwisenutrition.com)
Fill half your plate with vegetables of all colors! Veggies are chock-full of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber, all of which are necessary for a healthy body. I don't care how you eat them - roasted, sautéed, or dipped in sauce - but eat them!
Chrissy Barth, RD, BHT, RYT (livebreathenutrition.com)
Balance, moderation, and variety.
Nancy Clark MS RD CSSD (nancyclarkrd.com)
Fuel by day and, if weight is an issue, diet by night!
I encourage my clients to frontload their calories so their breakfast and lunch and afternoon "second lunch" (snack) are their main sources of fuel. Dinner can then easily become a smaller meal. A hearty breakfast sets the stage for a high-energy day and offers enough fuel so the breakfast eater will want to add on health-promoting exercise, and will not experience extreme hunger later in the day. That means they'll want less ice cream, cookies, chips, and other junk food.
Jennifer Neily, MS, RD, CSSD, LD (jenniferneily.com)
We eat far too few vegetables and fruits. I talk to people, and sometimes it's not how many fruits and vegetables do you get in a day but in a week! Fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org is such a great website. How much do we need? More! Ideally I'd like to see at least five and half cups of veggies and fruits per day. Follow MyPlate and you're well on your way.
Maye Musk, MS, RD (mayemusk.com)
No junk foods. Everyone knows what junk food is. When you reach for something and say, "I know I shouldn't," that's probably junk food.
Carolyn Dunn, PhD (esmmweighless.com)
Eat foods as close to whole as possible - avoid highly processed foods.
Martha McKittrick, RD, CDE (martha-nutritionist.com)
Planning. Most of us have hectic schedules, and if you don't plan your food choices in advance, your good intentions will likely fly out the window! Make a weekly shopping list. Keep your home stocked with healthy foods for snacks and easy meal preparation. Stock your office with healthy snack foods so you can avoid the tempting treats in vending machine.
Lauren Antonucci, MS, RD, CSSD, CDE, CDN (nutritionenergy.com)
Be consistent and keep it fun! In other words, stay on track with healthy eating and appropriate portions most of the time. Do go out for an occasional treat, but make it occasional and deliberate. Keep your food fun, varied, and interesting to avoid boredom.
Sarah Mirkin, RD, CPT (kitchencoachrd.com)
I recommend eating small frequent meals throughout the day that are high in protein and dietary fiber. The protein provides staying power while the fiber fills you up! Most people turn to carbohydrates for snacks, which can satisfy you temporarily, but they won't hold you for very long. Usually I ask my clients to focus more on mini-meals with lean protein or dairy and vegetables or fruits. Carbohydrate choices like whole grains and starchy vegetables are also an important part of a healthy diet, but treat them more like a side dish rather than your main meal or snack. Fill up half of your plate with vegetables and fruits, with an emphasis on the vegetables for weight management, and include protein every time you eat.
Allison Stevens, MS, RD, LD (healthylivinghealthyflavors.com)
Consume foods in their most natural forms (fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains).
Rachel Begun, MS, RD (rachelbegun.com)
Aim to eat at least one serving of fruit or vegetables with every meal and snack.
Amber Pankonin, MS, RD, CSP, LMNT (beginningwell.com)
Learn to face the facts! The nutrition facts label can be a great weight management tool.
Connie Evers, MS, RD, LD (nutritionforkids.com)
Don't sacrifice taste for nutrition. Because taste drives food selection, it is key that dietitians, chefs, and health professionals offer consumers healthy foods and recipes that are also delicious.
Karen Ansel, MS, RD, CDN (karenansel.com)
Eat a great diet 90 to 95 percent of the time and you won't have to worry about the occasional slip-up.
Janet Bond Brill, PhD, RD, LDN, CSSD (drjanet.com)
Eat a plant-based diet with lots of unprocessed foods, and monitor calorie intake.
Janel Ovrut Funk, MS, RD, LDN (eatwellwithjanelblog.com)
Eat whole foods.
Erin Palinski, RD, CDE, CPT (erinpalinski.com)
Don't let yourself get too hungry! Whenever we allow ourselves to get to hungry, we choose convenience foods that we can eat quickly, which many times leads to a less healthy option. Eating small, frequent meals allows you to prevent excessive hunger, helping you to make healthy, rational food choices vs. just shoving whatever food is around into your mouth because you are starving!
Timi Gustafson, RD, LDN (timigustafson.com)
Educate yourself. Learn everything you can about dietetics. Then take action. Find out what nutrients your body needs, eat those, and avoid empty calories.
Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD (nutritionexpert.com)
Stop eating when you are satisfied. Not full, stuffed or sick, but satisfied. It's very important to develop a healthy relationship with food and from early in our lives many of us are told to clean our plates. When we clean our plates we are not listening to our bodies own cues of satiety.

Women have the X-factor
The gender debate has been discussed, disputed and deliberated in its many form for centuries. In fact you could even link it back to Adam and Eve several thousand years ago.

Crazy, Stupid, Love
Apparently so according to a study carried out in Canada, but only more so than normal if you marry as a child or teenager. Researchers at the Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health revealed that results from a 2001-2002 United States national survey on alcohol and drug abuse and their mental disorders helped them to look at the effect of child marriage on mental health in the USA.
Glowing cats could shed light on HIV
Perhaps more odd than thinking about famous sheep is writing about these glowing cats that have been produced by US researcher Eric Poeschla. Three genetically modified cats have had a virus carry green fluorescent genes into the eggs from which they grew in a bid to help with the study of HIV. The gene has its origins in jellyfish and expressed proteins that fluoresce when illuminated with certain frequencies of light resulting in a glow in the dark animal.

Ben feeds himself
By Baby Blogger Kate RichardsSo now, at 11 months, Ben's eating pretty much everything we eat. He still needs to avoid honey (tiny risk of botulism), added salt, and things he could choke on like nuts, but most other foods have gone down well.
He loves his baby biscuits, which have reduced salt levels, and is currently wolfing down Cheerios. They have added vitamins, but he's probably not at any risk of deficiency as he has formula milk too, and a wide range of fruit and vegetables.

Prescription Drug Injury
the negligent healthcare provider or pharmacy professional must be held accountable
We as consumers expect that the prescription drugs we take will help us, rather than harm us. But when an improperly prescribed or administered prescription injures us or kills a loved one, the negligent healthcare provider or pharmacy professional must be held accountable and pay for your – or your loved ones' – injuries and losses.
Medication Errors – When a Doctor or Nurse Makes a Mistake
Healthcare professionals can make mistakes when they prescribe or administer medications and prescription drugs. Hospital healthcare staff may improperly manage a patient's drug treatment regimen. Hundreds of thousands of injuries occur each year due to medication errors. When that happens, they can result in allergic reactions, conflict with other drugs also being administered, damage organs and sometimes even lead to wrongful death. What makes these tragedies so hard to accept is that virtually all medication errors are avoidable.
A compressive national study by the Institute of Medicine (IoM) revealed that between 44,000 and 98,000 hospitalized Americans are further sickened, injured or killed every year by prescription errors and mistakes — three to four percent of all hospital admissions every year. And an earlier study by the Institute revealed that the additional expense of treating drug-related injuries in hospitals was conservatively estimated at $3.5 billion. The Institute could not estimate the expense of treating other categories – including outpatient events – of prescription error.
Understanding their patients' symptoms and illnesses to avoid complications or dangerous drug interactions is a primary legal duty of any doctor. This also includes warning patients of a drug's risks to help them make informed decisions. When a doctor negligently fails in that duty to a patient; he or she is legally liable for the error and has committed malpractice. A doctor is also legally responsible for the following:
- Prescribing the wrong medication or an incorrect dose
- Failing to notice that a patient has an allergy to an ingredient in the medication
- Failing to consider and identify negative drug interactions.
And the nursing care staff has the same duty to administer drugs properly. Anyone who is in the drug treatment chain can be liable for a prescription error that injures or kills a patient.
Pharmacy Errors Can Also Be Grounds for a Dangerous Drugs Lawsuit
Drug stores and pharmacies must also provide the correct medicine and prescribed dosage. If they make a mistake that harms someone, they are liable for
- Mental and physical pain
- Full cost of present and future medical care
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Wrongful death compensation to surviving family members
- Punitive damages.
Taking the wrong medicine can be frightening. Unwanted side effects may lead to potentially serious and life-threatening injuries. So it's vital that pharmacists and their staffs pay close attention to your prescription and provide you with the correct drugs, dosage and information to assure your safety as you take your prescribed drugs.
Proving Liability and Determining Damage Compensation in Dangerous Drugs Cases
Defective drug liability cases require proof of a design defect, a manufacturing error or failure to warn of likely dangers. Who is liable is seldom clear-cut.
- If the manufacturer produced a defective drug, it's a product liability case.
- When a medical or pharmacy professional makes a mistake, it is medical malpractice.
- When one is harmed because of some form of negligence. It becomes a personal injury issue.
With medication injuries, it's usually one of the above three. But there are times when it can include two or all three characteristics. An experienced medication malpractice lawyer and their investigators can gather the medical records needed to prove your case, determine the circumstances that led to the error, negotiate with the liable parties' insurance carriers to reach a fair damage settlement which avoids a costly trial and – if necessary – represent you at trial.
If you have been seriously harmed due to a medication error, or if a family member has been killed, the Johnson Law Firm is experienced at representing those who are injured due to medication malpractice and other harm caused by defective drugs. Our medication injury attorneys, investigators and staff thoroughly investigate and document your claims, manage the case and are your strongest advocate with defendant insurers and lawyers to aggressively seek fair and full compensation.

The Bottom Line
Should I Hire Friends and Family?
The restaurant world presents a multitude of opportunities to hire and work with those in your immediate circle. From bringing your child on as a server to launching a new venture with your best friend, the question of whether to pull the trigger spans across all levels of involvement and corresponding risk. And as is the case with most issues in business, there is no one right answer.
Many best practices do exist, however, to make an educated decision on whether to hire friends and family, either as employees or as business partners. Let's take a look at a few scenarios and determine where it's appropriate to move forward.
Hiring children
Bringing your children into the business at the service level is a relatively common practice. Being in the business is quite convenient for summer jobs, after-school work and a necessary helping hand when nobody else is around.
Consider the following best practices when deciding whether to hire your children:
• Treat them in the same way that you'd treat any of your other staff. Err on the side of caution and be harder on them. They will immediately have a target on their back as receiving special treatment, so be a driving force to alleviate this bias as much as possible.
• Hire them into a role that matches their skills and experience. If they've never waited tables before, then perhaps they'd best start out as a busser.
• If you know a member of your staff is due for a promotion, give them the promotion and backfill the role with your child, assuming that it's for a temporary role. To go in the opposite direction could be a motivator for that staff member to leave your business.
Bringing your children into managerial and executive roles is of course acceptable as well, but is observed with a higher level of scrutiny from the outside. You should be comfortable with their ability to handle the role, as well as their ability to command authority with the rest of your staff when you're not around.
Forming business partnerships with friends
Friendships that turn into business partnerships have led to spectacular success for many, and conversely have destroyed friendships among many more. There may come a time when a friend or family member wants to invest in your operation or work with you on a new endeavor. Those opportunities have all the potential in the world, but should be perceived with caution nevertheless.
Consider the following when debating this kind of partnership:
• Ensure that each of you are qualified for your respective roles in the business. Your relationship is what has opened the door, but now that you're in serious conversation you should treat this like a job interview. If you have an inkling that your counterpart isn't a fit, then best to call things off from the beginning. You'll risk losing both the business and the friendship otherwise.
• Make sure your skill sets complement each other rather than mirror each other. Friends are often friends because they share the same interests and perceptions. This is great in a social setting, but is often a recipe for disaster in business. Pie-in-the-sky minds need someone more down to earth to counter lofty ideas with logic, and vice versa. Like-minded founders can find themselves in a rut with no idea where they went wrong.
• Verify each other's commitment, in terms of both time and money. Things will go sour as soon as one partner feels like they're getting the short end of the stick. This doesn't mean that your investment needs to be identical; a friend could simply invest some capital into the business and serve as an advisor while you do most of the labor. The important thing is that you're on the same page.
• Have a legal agreement that defines the relationship and all terms. Nobody wants to go to court, but it happens all too often, and contracts are quintessential in those cases.
There are of course many more scenarios to go over on this topic, but these extremes should represent a central mindset that covers most of them. At the end of the day you want to be fair to your friends and family, your staff and yourself. Things get tough when friends and family are involved, but remaining objective and keeping emotion out of the equation will drive the best results.

Art Trip to London
Last weekend saw the first overnight Art trip to London. We had two days full of gallery visits and an evening at the theatre.
We arrived in London in the sunshine and immediately visited The British Museum where we discovered mummies, the Rosetta stone and the Portland Vase. The pupils were overwhelmed by the numbers of tourists and visitors. We walked to Pizza Express where we enjoyed our evening meal. A short walk through Bloomsbury to the Covent Garden theatre where we would see The Woman In Black. The pupils found this production to be very scary and there was a lot of shrieking and screaming in the right places.
Following breakfast we visited Tate Britain where we appreciated a range of work from the 1700s to 1900. A short visit to Leicester Square for lunch and then on to the National Portrait Gallery. We left London in good time and had a very happy and musical journey home.

During the Cold War between the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, a jurgoran inhabited a canyon on the Deep Core world of Tython. A green-and yellow-skinned animal with beady black eyes, the jurgoran was known as the Forge Guardian by the planet's inhabitants, the Jedi Order. The Guardian was larger than typical jurgorans, and lived in a cave underneath the rock bridge that spanned the chasm.[1]
In 3643 BBY,[2] the Guardian was disturbed from its slumber when the Padawan of Jedi Master Orgus Din opened the Forge, an ancient machine used to create lightsabers, above the beast's cave, and the angry beast attacked the young Jedi.[1] The Padawan, who had just defeated the Dark Jedi Bengel Morr and rescued Master Din,[3] was forced to kill the Guardian with the Jedi's new lightsaber in order to safely return to the Jedi Temple.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Forge Guardian appears in the BioWare MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic, as part of the Jedi Knight-exclusive bonus mission "Putting Your New Weapon to Use." After assembling their lightsaber, the player must either defeat the jurgoran or bypass the enemy by quick-traveling to one of the main planetary locations or teleporting to the nearest medcenter when defeated. The jurgoran has a buff called "Larger" that says it is larger than normal, though its size is the same as other jurgorans in the game.[1]

"Using and participating in these online services and communities forces enterprises to relinquish a level of control that they historically would not tolerate."
The adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise is driving unprecedented collaboration throughout business, but brings with it significant security risks, according to Gartner. These risks are manageable, but only if enterprises engage security early in the process and build a solid foundation to support Web 2.0, whilst limiting the risks.
Speaking at Gartner's IT Security Summit in Sydney today, vice president and Gartner Fellow Joseph Feiman said that while most Web 2.0 technologies are not new, many of the concepts run contrary to traditional IT security practices.
"Using and participating in these online services and communities forces enterprises to relinquish a level of control that they historically would not tolerate," said Feiman. "It is forcing enterprises to rethink their security strategies."
A recent Gartner survey found that most organizations have work underway to develop a strategy for Web 2.0, but few are prepared for or executing on that strategy. Gartner predicts that by year-end 2007, 30 percent of large companies will have some form of Web-2.0-enabled business initiative under way.
Feiman said that the security challenges created by Web 2.0 could be divided into two categories: protecting internal users and the enterprise, and protecting external applications.
The internal challenge is characterized by inbound risks, such as malicious code in RSS feeds, and outbound risks, such as information leakage through inappropriate blogging or use of collaboration tools. The external challenge is threats generated by enterprise usage and participation in Web 2.0 technologies, such as use of third-party content (mashups) and engaging in open user communities.
"The perils of user generated content have already been experienced by some newspapers which face the difficulty of readers posting inflammatory or offensive comments online. It's not yet clear what the rules are governing this kind of content or how it will affect the publisher's reputation.
"A similar risk that many enterprises are currently dealing with is employee blogging. Some organizations encourage it, others forbid it, and some have no formal policies at all. It's a two sided coin -- on the positive side blogging can build strong communities, brand awareness and transparency; but on the negative side blogging can reveal corporate secrets, arm disgruntled employees and have undesirable consequences."
According to Gartner, the open nature of Web 2.0 also presents significant challenges to the traditional enterprise approach to controlling intellectual property and proprietary content. In the outbound sense information leakage can occur in a range of ways such as blogging, instant messaging, collaboration tools and even online calendars. Similarly any content served by a Web 2.0 application can be re-formed, reused and redistributed by third parties, making it practically impossible to control content. This can include press releases, price lists, video and audio, all of which can be rapidly propagated across the Internet.
"There is no technology that can effectively protect content that is publicly accessible," said Feiman. "Rather enterprises should determine what content they are willing to have in the public domain, keep the rest private, and use licensing agreements as often as possible to help control distribution and use."
As with any collection of technologies, Web 2.0 comes with a wide range of vulnerabilities and risks and a few basic practices can limit an organization's exposure. Feiman identified the two most important practices for limiting risk when building Web 2.0-style applications as: adopting a secure development life cycle and focusing on validating all input, whether it is from an internal user or a business partner.
Gartner makes the following recommendations for enterprises adopting Web 2.0 technologies:

As we reported, Donald Trump's ex Ivana Trump came out swinging on GMA Monday morning, where she referred to herself as the "First Lady." POTUS' third wife Melania Trump responded to the classic First Wives Club shade by calling it "attention-seeking and self-serving noise."
In attempt to clarify her comment (and perhaps to keep people talking), Ivana said on The Wendy Williams Show in an interview that aired on Friday:
"I tell you, I'm technically 'First Lady Trump.' I was first wife. I don't know what is Melania's problem. She just have to get over it. She is First Lady of America but I'm First Lady Trump, excuse me, and have three grownup kids."
Related: The Craziest Lines From Ivana Trump's Book!
In response to Melania's clap back, the 68-year-old author quipped:
"I have no idea why she did it, 'cause I never said I'm 'First Lady of America.' Better her than me, frankly, you know."
When Wendy pressed the self-proclaimed First Lady about Donald's second wife (and the mother of his fourth child, Tiffany Trump), Marla Maples, Ivana responded:
"I'm not going to discuss Marla Maples or the showgirl. Not a chance."
This baby momma drama is legitimately too much for us.
We'll just be over here listening to how Wendy says "Melania" on repeat:

As a landlord we have a legal duty and responsibility to ensure that any gas and solid fuel appliances we provide to our customers are maintained and safe for use.
To protect you, your family and your property we will ensure that an annual gas safety check is carried out. Checks are also carried out when a customer leaves a property and when a new customer moves in.
You will be notified by letter of the date of your annual check, it is vital that you provide access to your property. The check will take no longer than 30 to 40 minutes and we can offer flexible appointment times to suit you.
All safety checks are carried out by competent Gas Safe Registered Engineers and will carry with them identification. During the check we will also ensure that your smoke alarms are working. A copy of the gas safety certificate will be sent to you within 28 days of the check taking place.
Due to the potential consequences of unsafe gas appliances if we are repeatedly unable to gain access to your home to carry out the check we can obtain a warrant from the courts to gain access to your property, the costs associated with this may then be passed on to you.
For more information about how Stockport Homes manage gas safety or to discuss your gas safety check please contact the Stockport Homes Facilities Management Team on 0161 218 1944 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

REPORTING FROM SIOUX CITY, IOWA — In a dive bar on the western edge of the state, with scores of people huddled around him on a freezing night, the New Jersey governor best known for his tough-guy persona shared one of his most vulnerable moments.
Chris Christie talked about fearing for his wife's life after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, when she was working near the World Trade Center and he couldn't reach her on the phone until hours later.
"What am I going to do without my best friend?" he recalled wondering. "What kind of single dad am I going to be?"
It was just the first of the night's confessions from the Republican presidential candidate. He admitted to having a bit of a crush on Adele. He joked about his weight. He talked about saying goodbye to his mother as she lay dying of lung cancer.
Each story, some of which have become staples of his campaign events, is another attempt to burrow into the hearts of Iowa voters just two weeks before the caucuses.
In this primary, every Republican candidate sells something different — Donald Trump has anger, Ted Cruz has ideology, Jeb Bush has wonkishness.
Christie sells himself. Despite scandal and stumbles at home in New Jersey, his campaign appears to be a statement of faith that if enough voters just get to know him, he'll have a shot at the White House.
"I'm like a fungus," Christie said at one point. "I grow on people."
It remains to be seen whether he can speed up the growth to break into the top tier of a crowded Republican field, but over the weekend in Iowa he treated every handshake as if it would make the difference between victory and defeat.
While making the rounds in a diner serving breakfast, Christie leaned into each conversation, his face sometimes inches away from voters. At campaign events, he can be almost the last person to leave the room, lingering until he takes a photo with anyone holding an outstretched smartphone.
"It's old fashioned micro-targeting, one voter at a time," said Brian Jones, a campaign advisor.
Christie's event of choice is the "town hall," often held in bars, where he stands in the center of the crowd and fields whatever questions are lobbed his way.
He spent years holding similar events around his state before running for president, producing the kind of YouTube-ready moments that made him a rising star in the Republican Party.
His political fortunes have waned since then. Even as he strikes a straight-talking image on the stump, he's faced criticism for obfuscating previous positions that didn't adhere to conservative dogma.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, for example, dug out Christie's statements of support for Common Core, education standards issued by the federal government. Christie rejected Rubio's criticisms even as he welcomed it as evidence that he's doing well enough to start drawing attacks from other candidates.
I'm like a fungus. I grow on people.
In fact, Christie is already making a general election pitch, saying his experience as governor in a blue state shows his ability to work cooperatively with Democrats. He's touted changes to New Jersey's teacher tenure rules and a more recent effort to boost drug treatment for nonviolent offenders.
Some of Christie's initiatives have failed to live up to expectations. After successfully forging a deal to reduce retirement benefits for public employees — no small task in a place with heavy union influence — he reneged on the state's obligation to pay into the pension fund when he faced a budget gap.
There have also been several bond rating downgrades, and job gains have not kept pace with the country as a whole.
"Tough talk. Weak record," said a mailer circulated in New Hampshire by a super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Christie faces plummeting poll numbers in New Jersey — a Rutgers/Eagleton poll in December gave him a 33% approval rating, his lowest ever.
He downplayed the numbers when meeting with the Des Moines Register editorial board on Friday.
"Your current employer never likes it when you're looking for a new job," he said.
Besides, problems for Christie at home simply haven't resonated with many Iowa voters.
"I'm an Iowan, so I don't pay a lot of attention to New Jersey's record," said Doug Wells, 62, whose family owns the ice cream parlor in Le Mars, where Christie spoke on Sunday.
The only mention of "Bridgegate," the Christie administration scandal involving the closing of lanes approaching the George Washington Bridge into New York to allegedly punish a mayor for failing to endorse the governor, came from Christie himself.
When asked in Ames to describe a mistake he's made and what he's learned from it, Christie said he was too trusting of the people he hired.
Although investigations haven't determined whether Christie was involved, "nonetheless, it happened on my watch," he said.
The trials of two officials involved in the scandal are expected to begin in March, which could provide new fodder for his White House rivals.
Christie told Iowa voters he has the judgment to be president, and he asked for their faith as well as their vote. It's an appealing message to voters who didn't go to Christie's events to glance over his resume.
"The reason to come and see someone is to shake his hand and look him in the eye, and take the measure of the person," said Candi Roat, 63, of Sioux City.
She was one of many who walked away impressed from a Christie event.
James and Catharine Kramer, who gave their ages as "60-plus," had been considering other candidates when they drove two hours to Le Mars on Sunday to hear Christie speak.
"This gentleman gave us the best hope for what we want," Catharine Kramer said.
She left carrying a lawn sign.

Undefeated Aussie Heavyweight Lucas "Big Daddy" Browne is about to once again invade the United Kingdom when he faces Richard Towers on November 2nd in Hull, England. The bout is a final eliminator for the Commonwealth title, a belt that no Australian has held since the great Peter Jackson in 1892. Browne 17-0 (15 KO) departs Australia on October 20th, giving him plenty of time to acclimatise and to also fine tune at Ricky Hatton's Hyde gym.
"I can't wait to get over to the UK and perform. I've got plenty of British and Irish fans following me on twitter and facebook and I hope they either come on the night or tune into Sky Sports. Richard and I are good friends, but this is strictly business. He's standing in the way of my goals, so I need to take care of that."
Both Browne and Towers are no strangers. They have sparred numerous times together in Sheffield and have previously been scheduled to fight on two occasions. The first bout was cancelled due to a sparring injury suffered by Towers, who is also undefeated at 14-0 (11 KO). The pair were re-scheduled in Australia, only to see Towers denied a visa.
"It certainly is third time lucky," said Browne's manager Matt Clark. "I believe we're going to see a career best performance from Lucas. He's preparing extremely well, without any distractions and he's ready for this next step. His fan base in the UK and Ireland is growing rapidly and a good performance here might see him face defending Commonwealth champion David Price in his next bout."
Browne explained that while his primary focus is Yorkshireman Towers, Price is also a target. "I'm not looking beyond Richard Towers, but I want that Commonwealth belt and the prestige that comes with it. If David Price is holding it, then he's in my sights. I'm hearing whispers about Joey Parker wanting to fight me in New Zealand. To be honest, I don't know much about him at all apart from that he was a good amateur. If he continues to build and improve then maybe that fight can be made, if he wants it."
"Right now, Joey Parker has nothing that we want," stated Clark. Our aim for some time is the Commonwealth crown. Parker doesn't have it, so he's not on the immediate radar. I only caught highlights of his last bout on the internet, but he got the win despite being tagged and cut. I'm sure he'll continue to learn his craft as a professional and maybe they'll cross paths down the line. At this point in time, all we're looking at is Richard Towers."

I knew none of this. An very interesting read that makes me want to do more research. Thanks.

Lampedusa is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, part of the Province of Agrigento, in the region of Sicily, Italy; it is the largest of the Pelagie Islands. Tunisia is the closest shore to Lampedusa. It is situated 127 miles from Sicily and 70 miles from Tunisia, and is the southernmost point in Italy. Its population of approximately 4,500 subsists on fishing, agriculture and tourism. Now Lampedusa is being flooded with unwanted visitors trying to escape the North African turmoil.
This nine square miles of unspoiled Italian paradise in the southern Mediterranean is becoming a refugee camp for thousands of desperate people fleeing war and poverty.
Closer to Tunisia than to Italy, Lampedusa has long been accustomed to a trickle of refugees landing on its shores. But nothing could have prepared it for the onslaught that has overrun the population of only 5,000. Over the past two months, an estimated 20,000 migrants have flocked to the island in an exodus that has, until recently, been ignored by the Italian government and the rest of Europe. For much of the past two weeks, there have been more than 6,000 migrants – including 350 children – sleeping rough in what Amnesty International has described as "appalling" conditions.
The European military powers showed great eagerness to get involved in the Libya situation and this is why. The 20,000 could turn into 200,000 and maybe more. Fragile economies and increasing anger directed at poor foreigners looking for safety and a better life, could bring down governments and put the Euro-zone into economic freefall.
I knew none of this. An very interesting read that makes me want to do more research. Thanks.
This certainly explains, albeit partially, why the Europeans and other countries are so anxious to join the fray as you so aptly point out.
Oh don't worry about them. They'll all end up in England. They always do.
Oh don't worry about them. They'll all end up in England. They always do….Mind you…if this Middle East crap ultimately destroys the European Union it'll do for England!

Installation Notes for This Release
Configuring Your System to Install Boot-From-SAN
For general instructions on configuring ESX Server for boot-from-SAN operation, see the ESX Server SAN Configuration Guide.
For hardware compatibility with ESX Server, see the Compatibility Guides available at www.vmware.com/support/resources/esx_resources.html.
Note: If you are using a preboot execution environment (PXE), a boot-from-SAN operation will fail and is not supported for this version of ESX Server. Only a local disk PXE installation is supported.
Installing the VMware Virtual SMP Product
If you purchased the VMware Virtual SMP product, you can create Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) virtual machines, with single or dual virtual CPUs. You install the Virtual SMP product during your ESX Server installation by inserting its serial number during the licensing step of your ESX Server installation.
Upgrading a Previous ESX Server Release to ESX Server 2.5.5
If your VMware ESX Server host is running a release with an older patch level than shown in the upgrade list, you must first upgrade it to the given patch level before upgrading it to ESX Server 2.5.5. Direct upgrades from older patch levels than the listed releases have not been tested and are not supported.
ESX Server 2.5.5 supports upgrading from the following previous releases:
During an upgrade from a previous ESX Server release to ESX Server 2.5.5, this upgrade installer reinstalls all default ESX Server RPMs. If you modified any of the default ESX Server RPMs, these modifications are overwritten during the upgrade.
To upgrade from previous versions of ESX Server to ESX Server 2.5.5, you can use either the installation CD-ROM or the tar archive.
Upgrading from a CD-ROM
This is the CD you received from VMware or the CD you created from the ISO image file you downloaded from the VMware site. See "Upgrading from a Previous Release of ESX Server" in the ESX Server Installation Guide, available from www.vmware.com/support/pubs/esx_pubs. html.
Using the tar archive, upgrading directly from releases prior to ESX Server 2.0.1 upgrade patch 6 is not supported. To upgrade from ESX Server 1.5 or ESX Server 2.0.0 to ESX Server 2.5.5, upgrade first to ESX Server 2.0.1 with Upgrade Patch 6.
If you are using the downloaded tar archive, note the filename of the download file and make appropriate substitutions in the file and directory names shown below.
Note: To avoid a server reboot prompt, run /upgrade.pl -noreboot. For further details, refer to KB 1002381.
This update will not be complete until you reboot the ESX Server. If you enter n, to indicate that you will not reboot at this time, ESX Server displays the warning message "Please reboot the server manually. Your virtual machines will not run properly until this is done." If you see this message, you must manually reboot the server to complete the driver update.
After the installation, a file named "perllocal.pod" is created in the / directory. This is an unnecessary file created as a byproduct of the installation process. You can safely delete it.

Christian Science Bible Lesson
Original date: September 28, 1919
Current date: September 28, 2008
Subject: REALITY
Golden Text: Isaiah 64:4 since. Since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Responsive Reading: II
Peter 1:2-11.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Section I
The Holy Bible
King James Version
(1) Matt 12:35-37
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
(2) II Cor 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
(3) Phil 4:1, 7, 8
Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Science and Health with Key to the
by Mary Baker Eddy
(1) 510:2
How much more should we seek to apprehend the spiritual ideas of God, than to dwell on the objects of sense! To discern the rhythm of Spirit and to be holy, thought must be purely spiritual.
(2) 248:5-32
Men and women of riper years and larger lessons ought to ripen into health and immortality, instead of lapsing into darkness or gloom. Immortal Mind feeds the body with supernal freshness and fairness, supplying it with beautiful images of thought and destroying the woes of sense which each day brings to a nearer tomb. The sculptor turns from the marble to his model in order to perfect his conception. We are all sculptors, working at various forms, moulding and chiseling thought. What is the model before mortal mind? Is it imperfection, joy, sorrow, sin, suffering? Have you accepted the mortal model? Are you reproducing it? Then you are haunted in your work by vicious sculptors and hideous forms. Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. The result is that you are liable to follow those lower patterns, limit your life-work, and adopt into your experience the angular outline and deformity of matter models. To remedy this, we must first turn our gaze in the right direction, and then walk that way. We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives. Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love the kingdom of heaven reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear.
Section II
(4) Rom 1:8, 16, 17
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(5) Rom 4:3, 13, 18, 20, 21
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
(6) James 2:20-22
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
(3) 23:17
Faith, advanced to spiritual understanding, is the evidence gained from Spirit, which rebukes sin of every kind and establishes the claims of God.
(4) 209:31-6
Spiritual sense is a conscious, constant capacity to understand God. It shows the superiority of faith by works over faith in words. Its ideas are expressed only in "new tongues;" and these are interpreted by the translation of the spiritual original into the language which human thought can comprehend. The Principle and proof of Christianity are discerned by spiritual sense.
(5) 298:13
Spiritual sense, contradicting the material senses, involves intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, reality. Material sense expresses the belief that mind is in matter. This human belief, alternating between a sense of pleasure and pain, hope and fear, life and death, never reaches beyond the boundary of the mortal or the unreal. When the real is attained, which is announced by Science, joy is no longer a trembler, nor is hope a cheat. Spiritual ideas, like numbers and notes, start from Principle, and admit no materialistic beliefs. Spiritual ideas lead up to their divine origin, God, and to the spiritual sense of being.
(6) 368:14
When we come to have more faith in the truth of being than we have in error, more faith in Spirit than in matter, more faith in living than in dying, more faith in God than in man, then no material suppositions can prevent us from healing the sick and destroying error.
(7) 329:12 We
We must prove our faith by demonstration.
Section III
(7) James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
(8) Matt 7:7-11, 15-17
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
(8) 129:22
We must look deep into realism instead of accepting only the outward sense of things. Can we gather peaches from a pine-tree, or learn from discord the concord of being? Yet quite as rational are some of the leading illusions along the path which Science must tread in its reformatory mission among mortals. The very name, illusion, points to nothingness.
(9) 186:22
If we concede the same reality to discord as to harmony, discord has as lasting a claim upon us as has harmony. If evil is as real as good, evil is also as immortal. If death is as real as Life, immortality is a myth. If pain is as real as the absence of pain, both must be immortal; and if so, harmony cannot be the law of being.
(10) 563:1-7
Human sense may well marvel at discord, while, to a diviner sense, harmony is the real and discord the unreal. We may well be astonished at sin, sickness, and death. We may well be perplexed at human fear; and still more astounded at hatred, which lifts its hydra head, showing its horns in the many inventions of evil. But why should we stand aghast at nothingness?
(11) 352:12, 26-30
Would a mother say to her child, who is frightened at imaginary ghosts and sick in consequence of the fear: "I know that ghosts are real. They exist, and are to be feared; but you must not be afraid of them"? In short, children should be told not to believe in ghosts, because there are no such things. If belief in their reality is destroyed, terror of ghosts will depart and health be restored. The objects of alarm will then vanish into nothingness, no longer seeming worthy of fear or honor.
(12) 353:13-19
The age has not wholly outlived the sense of ghostly beliefs. It still holds them more or less. Time has not yet reached eternity, immortality, complete reality. All the real is eternal. Perfection underlies reality. Without perfection, nothing is wholly real. All things will continue to disappear, until perfection appears and reality is reached.
Section IV
(9) Luke 7:36-40, 44-48
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
(13) 364:8-31
Which was the higher tribute to such ineffable affection, the hospitality of the Pharisee or the contrition of the Magdalen? This query Jesus answered by rebuking self-righteousness and declaring the absolution of the penitent. He even said that this poor woman had done what his rich entertainer had neglected to do, wash and anoint his guest's feet, a special sign of Oriental courtesy. Here is suggested a solemn question, a question indicated by one of the needs of this age. Do Christian Scientists seek Truth as Simon sought the Saviour, through material conservatism and for personal homage? Jesus told Simon that such seekers as he gave small reward in return for the spiritual purgation which came through the Messiah. If Christian Scientists are like Simon, then it must be said of them also that they love little. On the other hand, do they show their regard for Truth, or Christ, by their genuine repentance, by their broken hearts, expressed by meekness and human affection, as did this woman? If so, then it may be said of them, as Jesus said of the unwelcome visitor, that they indeed love much, because much is forgiven them.
(14) 365:15
If the Scientist reaches his patient through divine Love, the healing work will be accomplished at one visit, and the disease will vanish into its native nothingness like dew before the morning sunshine. If the Scientist has enough Christly affection to win his own pardon, and such commendation as the Magdalen gained from Jesus, then he is Christian enough to practise scientifically and deal with his patients compassionately; and the result will correspond with the spiritual intent.
Section V
(10) Acts 14:8-15
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
(15) 418:12-16
It must be clear to you that sickness is no more the reality of being than is sin. This mortal dream of sickness, sin, and death should cease through Christian Science. Then one disease would be as readily destroyed as another.
(16) 369:14-15
We never read that Luke or Paul made a reality of disease in order to discover some means of healing it.
(17) 546:24-8
The great spiritual facts of being, like rays of light, shine in the darkness, though the darkness, comprehending them not, may deny their reality. The proof that the system stated in this book is Christianly scientific resides in the good this system accomplishes, for it cures on a divine demonstrable Principle which all may understand. If mathematics should present a thousand different examples of one rule, the proving of one example would authenticate all the others. A simple statement of Christian Science, if demonstrated by healing, contains the proof of all here said of Christian Science. If one of the statements in this book is true, every one must be true, for not one departs from the stated system and rule. You can prove for yourself, dear reader, the Science of healing, and so ascertain if the author has given you the correct interpretation of Scripture.
(18) 215:15-24
We are sometimes led to believe that darkness is as real as light; but Science affirms darkness to be only a mortal sense of the absence of light, at the coming of which darkness loses the appearance of reality. So sin and sorrow, disease and death, are the suppositional absence of Life, God, and flee as phantoms of error before truth and love. With its divine proof, Science reverses the evidence of material sense. Every quality and condition of mortality is lost, swallowed up in immortality.
Section VI
(11) Isa 66:13, 22
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
(12) Rev 22:1-6
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
(19) 538:13-14
The "tree of life" is significant of eternal reality or being.
(20) 109:32-12
The three great verities of Spirit, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, Spirit possessing all power, filling all space, constituting all Science, contradict forever the belief that matter can be actual. These eternal verities reveal primeval existence as the radiant reality of God's creation, in which all that He has made is pronounced by His wisdom good. Thus it was that I beheld, as never before, the awful unreality called evil. The equipollence of God brought to light another glorious proposition, man's perfectibility and the establishment of the kingdom of heaven on earth.
(21) 472:24-26 All
All reality is in God and His creation, harmonious and eternal. That which He creates is good, and He makes all that is made.
(22) 261:21
Detach sense from the body, or matter, which is only a form of human belief, and you may learn the meaning of God, or good, and the nature of the immutable and immortal. Breaking away from the mutations of time and sense, you will neither lose the solid objects and ends of life nor your own identity. Fixing your gaze on the realities supernal, you will rise to the spiritual consciousness of being, even as the bird which has burst from the egg and preens its wings for a skyward flight.
(23) 335:27-28
Reality is spiritual, harmonious, immutable, immortal, divine, eternal.

The National Weather Service (NWS), Guam Weather Forecast Office advised a large west swell and the broad monsoon winds south of Tropical Storm Krosa will continue to generate dangerous surf along west and north facing reefs through tonight and hazardous surf through Friday night. The following NWS advisories remain in effect:
A high surf warning is in effect for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan until through tonight. A high surf advisory will then be in effect Tuesday morning through Friday night for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. Dangerous surf of 13 to 17 feet will persist along west and north facing reefs through tonight before gradually subsiding to hazardous levels of 11 to 14 feet by Tuesday morning. Surf will remain hazardous through at least Friday. The community is advised to avoid venturing out along reefs and beaches. Huge pounding waves can knock people unconscious and cause them to drown.
A high risk of rip currents is expected along north, west, and south facing reefs through Friday night, producing dangerous swimming conditions for swimmers and beach goers. If caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm and stay afloat while waiting for help. If swimming out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current. Rip currents
A small craft advisory remains in effect for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan coastal waters through Tuesday night, meaning winds will produce conditions hazardous to operators of small craft. Combined seas of 11 to 14 feet will continue through tonight and winds of 15 to 25 knots will continue today. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid sailing in these conditions.
The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense (GHS/OCD) advise residents and visitors to avoid the ocean until hazardous conditions subside. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags, and signs.

One of the most common reasons for entering the healthcare field is job security. We've compiled 3 interesting NYC healthcare career stats that explain why job security is so great in the healthcare industry.
That's 894,190 people! Really, it's even more people because this sector is experiencing growth, so the stats are pretty much outdated as soon as they are published. New York is ranked #9 in the country for the overall percentage of healthcare workers, primarily due to a strong job market and well-trained workers.
Ask most people what technology is doing to jobs, and you'll get a post-apocalyptic explanation of how the robots and machines are going to replace us all, but when it comes to the healthcare industry, technology actually creates employment opportunities. While advanced technologies have definitely changed the way things are done, the human element has not disappeared from healthcare. Somebody has to run the machines, and new technologies have led to new elective medical procedures, such as laser eye surgery and joint replacement surgery. As technology continues to advance, more and more skilled workers will need to fill the new skill areas created.
The healthcare field is growing, and it makes sense. We have an aging population, and since healthcare is driven more by demographics than economic conditions, healthcare occupations are expected to grow in demand over the next decade or two. The average person has 9.2 surgeries in his or her life, many of them in the later years, and surgeries aren't the only health need that increases as people age. Long-term care, hospice, general illnesses, and emergency procedures are more frequent, as well.
These interesting healthcare career stats in NYC help explain why healthcare jobs are so secure. If you are interested in joining the 10% of New Yorkers working in healthcare, check out our flexible and quick courses, many of which can be completed in less than a few months (and as little as a few weeks).

Similar in usefulness to HerbertBoland's popular CinematicBoomNorm.wav sample, this is a totally synthetic sound of a distant but muffled explosion. Lots of lows, perhaps inaudible on small speakers. Not quite so "ringy" or gong-like as the original Cinematic Boom, and perhaps better because of that fact. This one has some frequency shaping, especially at the very beginning (first 80 ms) to give a subtle feeling of impact, and has been reverberated for a very smooth decay. #4 is provided in both 44.1KHz 16bit as well as 48KHz 32bit, for the convenience of using whichever format you're already working in. This is the 48/32 version. Created within Cool Edit Pro.
Please also check out the various samples in my "thuds" pack, as they can serve similar purposes: http://www.freesound.org/packsViewSingle.php?id=7658.

After my fifteen minutes of radio and video fame I'd hoped for some clues about the whereabouts of the final two boundary stones. What I actually got was people asking if I'd found any more stones and a lot of comments about stones I'd already found. There was one cryptic comment about Bassett Green and Stoneham Lane but neither was anywhere near where the last stones were meant to be and I couldn't get any more information so, for now, I've discounted it. Even so, it seemed about time I went in search of the final stone I knew really was there. Continue reading The final boundary stone, or is it?

The Georgian Orthodox Churchs history stretches back to AD 150; it can be regarded as the worlds second-oldest Christian nation. Communist repression, infiltration and subversion brought both martyrdom and compromise. Since Communisms collapse and Georgian independence, many have returned to the Church of their ancestors. Some minority groups converted as well. For most Georgians, this is mostly an expression of nationalism and cultural identity, not a living spiritual faith. Pray for access to the Word of God, and that through it many may find the Truth of the gospel. Pray also for renewal among Orthodox clergy; some small beginnings of this are occurring.
The small Protestant Church struggled under Communism and, since independence, at the hands of some factions of the Orthodox Church. Evangelical ministries have been repressed, their work maligned as sectarian. They have had problems acquiring buildings and the permits necessary to hold meetings. There have been incidents of meetings being broken up, sometimes violently, and materials confiscated. Some legal changes in 2005 offer hope of greater freedom of religious expression. Pray for a relationship of mutual respect and understanding between the Orthodox and other churches; pray that Protestant and Independent churches and believers might conduct themselves in Christ-like ways, even amid hostility.

Uncut magazine has made a special edition of their magazine dedicated to U2 (it says issue 1 and I'm assuming the following will be for other artists) it's £5.99 but definitely worth that in my opinion. So grab it while you can. It's full of loads of pictures, interviews and info on the band over the years.
