I used to have an old favorite black bean recipe. You can find it right here. Then again, why would you care about that recipe when I'm claiming this one is now my current favorite? I found this recipe in Cooking Light and gave it a shot. I'm always on the look out for bean burger recipes that might be keepers. Luckily I gave this one a shot because I really love this one! Not only does the bean burger have great flavor, the sauce is really quite tasty! Now, don't freak out on me because I made a sauce where the base is mayo. If you're really a mayo hater then sub the mayo for Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Besides loving these bean burgers, lately I am loving the Tone It Up girls on Youtube. I think I'd seen their videos before but I had never give them a chance. After seeing people check in on Twitter about their workout videos being killer, I finally decided to give them a try. Oh my gosh! I love their workouts! I've only been doing them on Tuesday's and Thursday's but I'm already noticing a difference in my abs. Each workout has totally kicked my butt and has me sweating within 2 minutes. I really hope to fit another one of their workouts into my Saturday mornings. I also love that the workouts aren't long at all. If I feel like it I can get a total body workout done in 20 minutes, or I can choose different videos to target specific areas. Anyway, they are awesome and I'm lovin' them!
Another favorite lately is an old favorite that I'm rediscovering thanks to Netflix. I started watching the series Charmed again. I've mentioned before my love for witch shows and Charmed is no exception. I've already worked my way through Season 1 and I'm well into Season 2. Some episodes are pretty corny, but I love the sister's and the whole idea of the "Power of Three". Wow, I totally sounded like a nerd there. Anyway, if you never gave Charmed a chance when it was on air all those years ago, then I really think you should. That is if you can get over the ridiculous outfits they wear.
Black Bean Burgers
Adapted from Cooking Light November 2013
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup panko
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon lime juice
4 buns
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large bowl; mash black beans. It's okay to leave a few beans whole. Stir in onion, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, salt, pepper, panko, and beaten egg. Form mixture into 4 equal sized patties. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat to prevent sticking. You could also spray the patties with nonstick cooking spray. Bake patties for 8 minutes, remove from oven to flip patties, and bake on the other side for another 8 minutes.
3. In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice.
4. Assemble burger by lightly coating buns with the Sriracha aioli, top with a bean burger, and lettuce.

Critic Reviews for Lady Terminator
All Critics (4) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (2) | DVD (2)
It's the kind of movie best randomly discovered on cable at 4 AM, but if you dig guys with mullets, director H. Tjut Djalil has some serious treats in store for you.
Audience Reviews for Lady Terminator
You may think that from the title of this movie it's a rip off of The Terminator (1984). And you would be partly correct, there are times when the movie rips off scenes from Terminator, but overall it's not an exact replica. Now, this movie is very unintentionally funny, but that's just part of the fun of it. There is tons of over the top action, sex, and acting too, but like I said, it's all very fun. I loved who very 80s this movie was too, the sets, costumes, cars, etc. just screamed 80s. If you want a low budget action movie with tons of blood and beautiful girls, catch this fun flick, it's highly enjoyable.
Super Reviewer
The moral of the story is, never steal a lady's (or an anthropologist's) genital eel.
Super Reviewer
Oh man, this is, like, the stupidest movie ever. But that doesn't stop it from being awesome! This was the second movie in a grindhouse cinema's double feature night, the first movie being The Terminator. This movie makes much more sense if you assume that it has nothing whatsoever to do with James Cameron's movie and is just made by a guy who has seen it and liked it. It's about a woman who's possessed by some sort of nymphomaniacal aquatic goddess that has taken it upon herself to single another woman out for death. And who has very blurry aim. There are a lot of visual references to The Terminator, including the casting of an actor who really really looks like Michael Beihn as the bodyguard of the doomed woman. They recreate many scenes from the other movie as well, but changed the story so much, thus making it nonsensical and incomprehensible. It's totally worth seeing.

Nathusius pipistrelle survey - results of 2009 pilot survey
In September 2009, 74 volunteers took part and data were received from 82 sites. A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this pilot survey such a success.
At 37 sites the standard survey method was carried out of identifying Nathusius' pipistrelle in the field in heterodyne mode whilst making frequency division (or in a few cases time expansion) recordings that enabled sound analysis to be carried out in order to verify the field identifications. Sound analysis was focussed on walks and spots where "Nathusius' pipistrelle", "Unsure Nathusius' pipistrelle" or "Other pipistrelle species" were identified in the field in heterodyne mode.
At 16 sites FD detectors only were used (e.g. BatBox Baton or Anabat) which do not tend to enable instant identifications to be made in the field, so for these sites all walk and spot files were analysed to check for Nathusius' pipistrelle.
At 27 sites heterodyne detectors only were used and the volunteers simply followed the instructions for identifying this species in heterodyne mode. This method does not enable recordings to be made for verification.
At the remaining 2 sites survey forms were sent in but it was unclear which system had been used.
Nineteen volunteers analysed their own recordings using a standard protocol. BCT staff carried out verification on volunteers' sound analysis and were largely in agreement with the results. All recordings not analysed by volunteers were analysed by BCT staff.
Nathusius' pipistrelle records were submitted from 24 of the 82 sites (29%). This figure includes unverified heterodyne records as well as broadband detector records that were able to be verified. Nathusius' pipistrelle presence was verified through sound analysis at 14 sites (17%). Sites with unverified records will be a priority for revisiting with recording equipment in 2010. Equipment will be available for loan to volunteers on request.
Distribution of sites monitored as part of the pilot Nathusius' pipistrelle survey in September 2009.
Verified records are from surveys where recordings were made and Nathusius' pipistrelle presence was confirmed through sonogram analysis.
Unverified records are from heterodyne detectors. "Unsure" records could possibly be common pipistrelles calling at the lower end of their frequency range. A target for 2010 will be to make recordings at all sites with unverified records to enable verification to be carried out.
The aims for the September 2010 survey are:
Repeat the sites surveyed in 2009 in order to begin building up repeat survey data.
Add new sites to the site network in order to build up a more comprehensive picture of species distribution and increase the sample size for future analysis.
- Increase the proportion of sites at which recordings are made in order to verify Nathusius' pipistrelle presence and collect data on other species at lakes. A limited number of frequency division detectors and recording equipment will be available for loan to volunteers to help achieve this.

Quick Reference
Ballet company amalgamated from the three historic Berlin companies, following the re-unification of Berlin: the two that were based at the former East Berlin opera houses, Staatsoper Unter den Linden (State Opera) and Komische Oper (Comic Opera); and the one based at the former West Berlin opera house, the Deutsch Oper (German Opera). The new company, Berlin State Ballet, was established in 2004 under the direction of Vladimir Malakhov, who had formerly been director of the Staatsoper company. Malakhov continued to dance with the new State Ballet, along with Bolshoi-trained Polina Semionova as principal ballerina, and guests such as Diana Vishneva. At its formation, most of the company's 80-plus dancers were drawn from the Staatsoper and Deutsch Oper companies as was its repertory, which alongside the 19th-century classics included works by Cranko, Balanchine, Forsythe, and Bigonzetti. It currently performs in both the Staatsoper and Deutsch Oper houses.

my computer was working just perfectly last week we had a storm that dropped power for three full days, we would power the house up with generator, but i hadnt even turned on the computer, so i went to turn on computer when power came back on, my computer will not turn on, power cord for computer was tested and it works but the computer has no lights on at all no led on motherboard, what can be the problem? i have alot of important information on this computer i really need to retrieve this information please i need help asap..
"Gateway desktop / E-2100"
".....last week we had a storm that dropped power for three full days...."
Power failure events can cause power surges and / or voltage spikes that can damage anything on your computer or anything connected to it at the time.
If the event was caused by lightning strikes, that can damage anything even if you have the computer and everything plugged into it plugged into something that protects it against power surges and spikes.
If you are fortunate, only the power supply was damaged.
If you have another working desktop computer you can borrow the power supply from, or if you can borrow one from a friend's computer, try connecting that to your mboard. Preferably it should have the same (max output) wattage capacity rating as on the label on your power supply, or higher.
If you're lucky, you'll then find your computer will work fine.
If that doesn't help, something else has probably been damaged, most likely the mboard.
This is much less likely...
Sometimes when you have a power failure event it causes wiring connections or components inside the case to develop a poor connection.
Unplug the case/power supply, or switch off the AC power to it otherwise.
Power off your monitor.
Open up the case by removing the left side panel as seen when you're looking at the front of the case.
In addition to the following, unplug all wiring connections, cards in slots, ram modules, one by one, examine the connectors or sockets or slots to see if they show signs of damage, plug them back in.
Check all the connections of the wiring to make sure they are all the way onto their pins and into their sockets, especially the main connector from the power supply. The wires close to the mboard going into the main power connector/socket should be more or less perpendicular to the mboard surface rather than at an angle. Make sure all cards in slots and ram modules are all the way down in their slots.
"power cord for computer was tested"
Unless you live in a country or region (e.g. the UK) that requires a fuse to be in the wall plug end of the cord to the power supply and the fuse in that has blown, it's extremely unlikely there's anything wrong with that cord.
If your computer is no longer usable, in most cases, the hard drive and the data on the hard drive have not been damaged.
You can connect the hard drive to another computer one way or another - just don't boot Windows from your drive on the other computer - and copy the personal data you don't want to lose to elsewhere.
If you have personal data you don't want to lose, you should have a copy of that on at least one other data storage device, or on a hard drive partition that is not on the same physical hard drive ! !

Heidi Watney just finished fumbling her way through another post-game interview. The Red Sox star of the game just finished answering her muddled, predictable questions: each one ending in some form of "how were you able to do that." None of this is really news (other than the fact there was a Red Sox star of the game, implying a win). The story here is the player answering those questions. No, Jacoby Ellsbury did not get asked to talk, even though he hit ANOTHER home run, this time giving the Sox a 2-1 lead. Yes, Heidi tossed softball questions to a Yale product who probably could have better explained the current world economic crisis: rookie catcher Ryan Lavarnway.
Ryan WHO!? La-varn-way. Phonetic. Phenomenal. Phuckin' clutch. Lavarnway is the Red Sox reigning two-time Minor League Offensive Player of the Year. But you couldn't predict this one. Early in the game Francona had a soundbyte explaining his decision to go with Lavarnway over banged up starter Jarrod Saltalamacchia: "maybe he'll run into one. Otherwise, we've got Salty to finish off the game." Ahh Terry, you sly fox. You meant run into one or TWO. As in Lavarnway would clobber not one but two (not Green, we're in Baltimore) MONSTER home runs. The first a three run homer to provide a 5-1 lead. The second an insurance run making it 8-4 at the time, ended up being the difference in an 8-7 win in which Sox relievers tried as hard as they possibly could to blow the game.
So now, the Red Sox live to see another day. They actually trailed the Rays by 1/2 a game in the win column tonight for about an hour. Red Sox ace Jon Lester is on the mound tomorrow. Beyond that, nobody knows what to expect from these Red Sox. The team who started the year 0-6, is trying to finish the regular season on a two-game win streak, something they haven't had since August. The win tomorrow will only ensure a one game playoff with the Rays. And as sure as Alfredo Aceves' arm (three straight appearances, 3 2/3 innings tonight) is held together with toothpicks, crazy glue, rubber bands and Bengay, that one-game playoff WILL happen if the Red Sox win. There's no way the Rays go out tomorrow and lose to the Yankees spring training split squad team. The Yankees threw their top four relievers in the loss tonight, so none will be available tomorrow. They earned that rest. All the Rays have to do is beat up on second or third rate pitching. Red Sox fans earned a pacemaker and some Zantacs in watching a month with just six wins, and a nine game lead erased.
But what about that one game playoff? Who would even be pitching? The Rays will have lefty phenom Matt Moore, who has only struck out 15 batters in 28 outs. The Red Sox? Reports today said they were looking into trading for a guy to start one game, then not even be available for the playoffs. Desperate? That's worse than taking your cousin to prom. It's having your mom PAY your cousin to go to prom with you. For $161 million this season, that's what the Red Sox money will get them. That, or John Lackey. Now, the cousin coming to prom doesn't look so bad, does it?
What's going to happen? Who knows. The Red Sox might go out and have a classic double figure scoring day and the Rays could get shutout by no names. That's the beauty of baseball. My money's on a one-game playoff in Tampa Bay. Rookie phenom versus disgruntled mouth-breather with the highest single season ERA in Red Sox history (Lackey). Advantage: Rays

Many visit Greece for its sun and sand. (Photo: Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images )
No visit to Greece would be complete without spending a few days on its beaches. Surrounded on almost all sides by the Ionian, Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, as well as the Sea of Crete to the south, both the Greek mainland and islands offer a multitude of beach towns to explore. Whether you prefer people watching or partying, wind surfing or relaxing with the family, one of Greece's many beach towns provides the backdrop.
Though the Greek Isles are perhaps more famous for their beaches, coastal towns on the mainland have much to offer beachgoers. The town of Glyfada is 10 miles south of the Greek capital of Athens. Set on the Aegean Sea, this beach town attracts tourists with its shopping, restaurant and beach lined with nightclubs, especially in the summer when many Athens party spots migrate to Glyfada. For calmer beach time, continue south along the coast to the towns of Vouliagmeni and Varkiza, both of which are lined with public and pay beaches, resorts and restaurants.
Greece's Saronic Islands are set in the Saronic Gulf, about an hour's boat ride from Athens. Fodor's includes the beaches of the town of Agia Marina on the island of Aegina among its list of most family friendly coastal destinations. Agia Marina's beaches feature calm, shallow waters. The area also features paddleboat rentals and several restaurants and pubs. The hook-shaped island of Angistri also has several public beaches. This small island also features several hotels, restaurants and night clubs, including the Hook Club Cafe Bar, a swim-up establishment that floats in the Aegean.
The Cyclades Islands lie about 100 miles off of Greece's southeastern coast. They can be reached by ferry, which takes from four to eight hours, or by plane. Mykonos, on the island of the same name, is home to Paradise Beach, known for both its scuba diving and vibrant nightlife. Try your hand at windsurfing or body surfing at Santa Maria beach in the town of Paros. Set on a central island in the Cyclades group, Paros is also home to the Panagia Ekatontapyliani, a grouping of three churches that dates from 326 A.D. and the Archaeological Museum, which includes documents from the fourth century among its holdings.
The island of Crete lies about 200 miles south of the Greek mainland. Crete, the country's largest island, offers a range of attractions, from Byzantine monasteries to Minoan ruins, rugged mountain ranges to palm-lined beaches. Like the rest of the island, Crete's coastal towns contain beaches with historical and recreational appeal. The fishing village of Elounda is home to Olous beach, which features a sunken ancient Roman settlement that can be viewed by snorkelers or divers. On the southern side of the island, visitors to the town of Matala can hike to the isolated beach at Red Beach, or marvel at the ancient Minoan excavation site at Komos Beach. The town was a popular destination in the 1960s, when hippies inhabited a series of ancient Roman tombs that line the coast.

*Cell phone service is highly monopolistic and lousy.
*Over-the-air internet service has arrived - watch people with their iphones at the restaurant...
*Over-the-air internet service is lousy - watch how long it takes them to load a web page
This raises the question: what would really good over-the-air internet service do? Really high speed all the time everywhere over-the-air internet exists in laboratories all over the world. It is directional and frequency hopping and it cleverly gets around problems of interference, including that caused by other devices. The technology is there now. Why can't we have all the information in the world at our fingertips all the time? Think of all the great business opportunities - from revolutionizing markets for small businesses, to great new businesses, to the business of writing the software, building the small portable internet devices, to building the large radio networks needed to make the vision a reality. Expensive proprietary over-the-air networks revolutionized trucking and shipping. Why not revolutionize everything else? There is no question that there is huge opportunity here: for individual people to make their fortune, for the more average of us to make a living in a new and growing industry.
So what is keeping the vision from reality? Not enough support from the government? No - government is the problem. From dragging their feet on the allocation of "white space" spectrum, to delaying the introduction of HDTV, to the more fundamental problem of tying up massive amount of bandwidth with obsolete over the air television that provides minuscule benefits to practically nobody - government regulation is the culprit. We don't need "net neutrality" laws; we don't need government regulation of the airwaves - we need competition, hard and fierce and innovative.
And let us not forget patents and copyright. So much of the new technology is tied up with patents of course. But I'm especially reminded of a conversation I had with Gary Shapiro, President of the Consumer Electronic Association, who I met at a Cato conference several years ago. He represents mostly smaller electronics firms - exactly the ones who are eager to innovate and bring new products to market. What is their greatest fear? That competitors will steal their ideas if they don't tie them up with patents? Of course not. It is that they will be sued by copyright holders for somehow encouraging piracy. If you want to know what that is all about, go look up the case of Replay TV.
Finally - what does it take to succeed? The biggest success of the last decade is Google. Did they do this by trying to squelch the competition with legal means? No. They have a vision - all information at your fingertips all the time - and they've ruthlessly pursued that vision, necessarily bending and breaking copyright laws along the way. So...do we spend our time patenting elaborate business models? Or do we build better mousetraps?
I think it is time to start a campaign to free the airwaves. The time has come for inexpensive high quality access to everyone and everything all the time.

Middle School comprises years 7 and 8 at Shenton.
Middle School students divide their class time between classes in the Deaf Centre and mainstream classes. Students accessing most mainstream subjects might only attend the Deaf Centre for support and back up with a teacher of the deaf one or two periods a week. Other students will attend the Deaf Centre for all core subjects, including English, Maths, Science and Society and Environment. Centre-based students access mainstream classes for their elective subjects. These include Art, Design and Technology, Computing, Hospitality, Physical Education, etc. Full or partial mainstreaming / centre-based classes are determined on an individual student basis.
All students are placed into a mainstream mentor group regardless of whether they are centre-based or not. They attend mainstream mentor classes every day. They do their elective subjects with students from their mentor group. Mentor classes also offer a pastoral care service to the students.
Middle School Deaf students enrolled in SCDEC participate in Auslan as a mainstream subject (second language learner program), or receive Auslan tuition in the centre if remedial Auslan is required. Auslan sits alongside French, Japanese and Mandarin at Shenton College as a timetabled mainstream language program. Learning a language other than English is compulsory in years 7 & 8, and becomes optional from year 9 onwards.
Deaf and hard of hearing SCDEC students in mainstream classes receive the support of a teacher of the deaf, access to a Deaf mentor, an interpreter and/or a notetaker, as appropriate to each student's needs and timetable requirements.
Students are able to access all activities offered by Shenton College, such as a camp; river cruise or movie nights; school discos; debating teams; Fitness for Life programs; and sporting activities and events.
SCDEC students follow the same timetable times, uniform and behaviour policies as Shenton College students.

Rapid Reads: 6 Big stories of the day
It's almost the end of the week, but we're not quite there yet. While you're waiting, occupy yourself with a quick take on the morning news. Here are the top stories everyone will be talking about:
1. #GOPDebate
Last night was the third GOP debate, and it was kind of a snooze-fest. Donald Trump was more subdued than usual and actually gave the others time to talk. Fiorina said she'd reduce the tax code to three pages (yeah, right) and Rand Paul said his "weakness" is that he'll rein in government spending, which is kind of like in a job interview where you say your weaknesses include caring too much and being too perfect. Also, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio finally had it out. There was no clear debate winner or loser, and it's mostly anyone's game, but Bush is definitely looking like he'll be next to drop out of the race. That campaign is going downhill fast. — CNN

2. Rock the vote
Today the House will vote on Paul Ryan to become the next speaker. The nine-term congressman was officially nominated yesterday after some intense bickering between him and the other members of his party. Republicans have been trying to find a replacement for John Boehner for a few weeks now and no one wanted the job. They finally convinced Ryan, and just in the nick of time — Boehner's last day in Congress is tomorrow. — USA Today
3. Big changes
After more than 30 years, China is abandoning its one-child policy and allowing families to have two kids if they so wish. Formerly, they relaxed the policy so families could apply to have more than one child. In Beijing alone, 53,000 couples applied. Now, they've extended the right to everyone, as China is struggling with an aging population and young liberals aren't so keen on the state interfering with reproductive matters. — USA Today

4. Women in charge
The citizens of Nepal have elected the country's first female president. The move comes after a constitution went into effect earlier this year that requires a woman to serve as either president or vice president and that parliament must be one-third women. Bidhya Devi Bhandari is the new president, and last week Onsari Gharti Magar became the parliament's first female speaker. They're on a feminist roll, but it is costing them. Protests over the new constitution are still widespread and India has cut off trade with the country as a consequence. It's a hard out there for a lady president. — Quartz
5. Runaway blimp
Yesterday a military surveillance blimp broke away from its mooring on a Maryland army base and roamed the skies over Pennsylvania. The 243-foot-long blimp was immediately pursued by F-16 fighter jets, who monitored its route to maintain air traffic control. After a four-hour jaunt, the blimp descended to the ground on its own. It just needed to get away for a while, OK? It feels so tied down. — Gizmodo
More: Adventures in the sky: Hot air balloon, helicopter or sky dive
6. The party continent?
A public speaking expert from Victoria University in Melbourne says he thinks the Australian accent is just a slurred English accent caused by early settlers' chronic drinking. "Our forefathers regularly got drunk together, and through their frequent interactions, unknowingly added an alcoholic slur to our regular speech patterns," he hypothesizes. So, there you go. Perhaps Foster's really is Australian for beer. And so are all the other words. — The Telegraph

Lavonne called tonight to tell us that Mark Cooper had a stroke this afternoon. She said
it appears that he is already recovering from the effects and is hoping he will
be okay.
He is in Mercy hospital room 386, but she is hoping he will be released by
Tuesday. As we all hope.
Mark has been transferred to Abbott Northwestern Hospital – Sister Kenny Rehab unit today. He is in room 2334 bed 2 and his direct phone is 612-863-2239. The address is 800 East 28th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55407. Mark is recovering quickly. His doctor recommended a short term intensive rehab so, if all goes according to plan, Mark could be home in 4-5 days.
Please let the family know. Lavonn
Went to visit Mark last night in Abbot Northwestern. He was sitting up in bed wearing
street clothes watching tv. He appeared in good spirits and we stayed about an hour and
had a lot of laughs. Same old Mark by my standards.
He had a full day of therapy scheduled for today and I suppose for several days to come.
He says he has full use of his body but is still a little clumsy. They say he is recovering
well and may fully recover from the stroke.
If you go visit, go in the evening. They really have him busy during the day.

Wesley Snipes
Born in Orlando, Florida, on July 31, 1962, Snipes moved to the South Bronx as an infant and went on to attend the High School for the Performing Arts. In 1980, Snipes returned to New York to attend SUNY/Purchase, where he was "to be a well-trained actor for the classic American stage." Snipes' big break came in 1985; with the comedy hit 'Wildcats' where he starred opposite Goldie Hawn. He appeared as Michael Jackson's rival gang leader in the Martin Scorsese-directed music video "Bad", in 1987.
His feature film, 'Streets of Gold', brought him to the attention of Spike Lee and he has since worked with Lee in numerous projects, including 'Mo" Better Blues' and 'Jungle Fever'. He then went on to star in a succession of hits, such as 'Major League', starring opposite Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen, 'New Jack City', 'White Men Can't Jump', 'Passenger 57', 'The Waterdance', 'Rising Sun', 'Demolition Man', 'Sugar Hill', 'Drop Zone', 'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar', 'Money Train', 'The Fan', 'One Night Stand' (winning him the Best Actor Volpi Cup at the 1997 Venice Film Festival), and 'US Marshals'.
Recent feature credits include 'The Art of War' (which he also executive produced), the prison drama 'Undisputed' and his 'cult classic' martial arts/vampire films: 'Blade', 'Blade II' and 'Blade: Trinity'. Snipes also served as producer on Blade II. Snipes is a seasoned, trained martial artist in a number of different disciplines including Karate, Kung Fu and Capoeira. Wesley Snipes has distinguished himself as one of the most talented and respected leading men, as evidence by his starring roles in numerous box office hits. He has starred opposite such notable actors as Robert De Niro and Sean Connery. He has also made a name for himself as a talented martial arts/action star.

In a clear disavowal of Bush-era rules that prevented cooperation between government-funded HIV/AIDS programs and broader sexual health and gender work in developing countries, the Obama administration has signaled to agencies abroad that the walls are coming down and that experts on the spot will have new freedom of action.
Under Bush, people in the field working to implement the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as Pepfar, were subject to micromanagement under ideologically inspired guidance that, among other requirements, demanded that 50 percent of AIDS prevention funds in countries with generalized epidemics be devoted to abstinence and "faithfulness" campaigns. That provision, born of provincial ignorance about the world, would be a joke if it weren't so cruel to millions.
The old guidelines also barred links between AIDS efforts and family planning, at a time when AIDS was becoming a woman's disease in many places and women had no power to resist unwanted or risky sex.
In new guidelines for 2010, the Obama Pepfar team opened the way to linking AIDS work with strengthening of health systems generally, taking into account the development of human resources, maternal and child health, family planning and access to it for women, gender equality, malaria and tuberculosis, food and nutrition, education and local economies. While Pepfar money may not be involved directly, the program's door will be open for cooperation. It is, in short, a holistic and realistic policy. It will matter because the United States is the world's largest contributor to HIV/AIDS relief, and Bush restrictions have had a deadening effect on many international programs.
"This is a big one," said Wendy Turnbull, senior policy research analyst at Population Action International in Washington, which acquired a copy of the internal government Country Operational Plan Guidance for 2010 (dated June 29) in July, digested it and sent a heads-up summary to health workers in government and nongovernment agencies abroad. "We all think this is significant."
The relaxed guidelines, from the office of the recently installed global AIDS coordinator, Eric Goosby, former CEO of Pangaea Global AIDS Foundation and professor of clinical medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, follow a series of steps taken by Obama to increase American support for global family planning and the health of women and children.
The trend began early in the year with the reversal of the global gag rule that banned US aid to any organization dealing in any way with the issue of abortion. Then came the resumption of US contributions to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Bush had stiffed the agency since 2002, citing ideologically motivated, untrue accusations that the UNFPA abetted abortion in China.

Vietnam War
The Vietnam War began as a struggle between communist North Vietnam and non-communist South Vietnam, and broadened to include the United States. It was preceded by the Indo-China War (1946-1954) between France and the Viet Minh, which ended with the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu. The Geneva Conference left North Vietnam under the rule of Ho Chi Minh, while the South was ruled first by Bao Dai and then by Ngo Dinh Diem. Elections were planned to choose a single government for all of Vietnam, but when they failed to take place, fighting was renewed. From 1961 in an attempt to stop the spread of communism, the USA increased its aid to South Vietnam and the number of its 'military advisers.' Although the US Congress never declared war officially, it passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which authorized US forces in South-East Asia to repel any armed attack and to prevent further aggression. US bombing of North Vietnam was continued, and in 1965 the USA stepped up its troop commitment substantially.

Make sure your Windows Firewall is enabled...or download a different one. Sygate is good (although it has been purchased by Norton so I don't know how much longer it will be supported ), but there are others that are just as good.
Not being able to reregister the installer is bothersome. I wonder if the service has been stopped for some reason. To verify that the required Windows services are enabled:
Click Start and then Run type services.msc and click "Ok".
Locate the Windows Installer entry. If Windows Installer service is not started, right-click the Windows Installer entry, and then click "Start". Then double click on it again and choose "Automatic" from the drop down menu, "Apply" the change, and click "Ok".
Let me know what you find...

It DID install...the icon was there this morning on my desktop.
When I clicked on INSTALL, a message said:
"The SYM Clean tool has detected no additional items
that need removed."
Sooooooo I put in my 2006 Norton Systems disc to re-install.
But this time a message came up that said:
"The programs listed are incompatable..uninstall
But I am going to KEEP AVAST....I also think it works much better
than Norton on REMOVING those virus's....and I had NORTON installed
when I got those computer infections!!!
I have a question:
When you right click on the blue circle with the a (AVAST) and click on
program settings....what all should be checked there?
Mine does a scan at each re-start so that is working pretty good.
Thanks, Janie

Just a few more problems. (I still don't have sound.)
A special thanks to Wannabe1 and Loophole for patiently teaching me
what all I needed to download and DO.
Here is my latest questions:
When AVAST found 7 infections, I moved them all to the Chest Box.
I deleted all of them but three.
Here is what they are:
A0253974.EXE C:\System Volume Information\_restore
A0253975.EXE C:\System Volume Information\_restore
A0253976.EXE C:\System Volume Information\_restore
What do I do with them?
Is that why I have no audio? (When I go to control panel it says
How do I get my sound back?
I think I can do it if someone gives me 'simplified' instructions.
And keep in mind, I can't get my computer to go into safe mode.
(It is probably ME, not my computer, that is GOOFY.
P.S. I am posting this on my malware thread also because I wasn't
sure where to put it!

Download This Driver and save it to your desktop.
Go to the Device Manager (right click My Computer and select Properties, under the Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button) and click on "Sound, video and game controllers"...look for any yellow ! or ? If there are any related to AC ' 97, right click on it and choose "Uninstall". Accept the change and reboot.
Check the Device Manager again...Did the sound device reinstall automatically?

Go ahead and uninstall both of the devices that are marked with yellow question marks. Then...
Double click on the extracted folder on the desktop, find the file Setup.exe, and double click on it. This will begin the installation of the device drivers for your sound device. Once the installation is complete, reboot and you should have sound.
Let me know how this goes.

Traveling away from home can be https://theleap.co.uk/, equally scary or delightful. On the one hand, it can mean leaving the comforts of home and security of knowing the area you are in. On the other hand, travel means getting to see new places and do new things. The outcome of a trip is often determined by the preparation and knowledge going in. This article has tips to help you sway the outcome of your pending travel before you set one foot out the door.
Travel during the off-peak seasons. Hotels and airfare are usually a lot more expensive during the peak summer months. Also, popular destinations can be so over-crowded during the summer that it takes the enjoyment out of it. If you travel in the off-peak months you can save money on airfare and accommodations and you can avoid the crowds.
When traveling to a new city, try your best to look as if you belong there: Never let anyone see that you are lost. Checking your map in the middle of the sidewalk is a sure-fire giveaway, as is asking for directions. Remember, new arrivals are good targets for pickpockets and muggers.
If you are traveling and planning to wash laundry in your hotel room, set up your drying line somewhere with a good breeze, preferably in front of a fan. In areas with extremely high humidity, your laundry will not dry quickly enough to avoid developing a smell unless there is also air movement.
One factor that may not come to mind right away when planning travel is weather. By looking up the weather forecast ahead of traveling, or possibly even before deciding when to travel one will know what to expect. If the weather looks bad, it can be prepared for or the trip even rescheduled.
Long driving trips can be fun and economical, but the cost of stopping for meals every few hours will add up, especially for a family. If you are planning a longish car trip, make sure you have plenty of car food available in advance. You may be able to get away with skipping the hourlong lunch stop, which will not only save you money, but will get you to your destination sooner. If you have a second adult in the car, that person can serve as "lunchmaker," handing around sandwiches, cutting fruit, and making sure everybody gets their midday meal on the road.
When traveling on a red eye flight, wear comfortable clothing and bring a pillow, blanket, eye mask, and ear plugs. If you are prepared to rest, you are much more likely to be able to sleep and arrive at your destination well-rested, even if other passengers make noise or put their reading lights on.
You should always bring something that will keep you occupied on a flight. A simple entertainer is a pen and paper. You can play games, write poems, draw little sketches, anything you can imagine. This will keep your mind focused so you are not concerned about how much longer the flight will be.
When you are traveling, try to pack everything in one carry-on bag. Airlines have started charging for things that they used to include in the price of your ticket, including checked bags, snacks and entertainment. There are two airlines that do not charge you to check bags, but they often have long waits at their baggage areas. You'll save time and money if you can keep everything in a single bag.
For a trip to wine country or just a beach getaway, if there's a chance you'll be drinking wine, pack a waiter's corkscrew. This tool will come in handy for the bottles you buy at the winery and can make picnics and hotel drinks much easier. A corkscrew can be especially difficult to buy when traveling abroad, so plan ahead and toss one in your suitcase to make life easier.
Children under the age of 18 who are traveling with friends families or grandparents, may need written permission from you for local authorities or border patrol agents if they will be leaving the country. To protect children from being abducted, many of these agencies now require proof that they have been authorized by the parents to take the children with them.
Check the dates of the reviews that you are reading about your potential destination. Many things change with time, and a review that was written long ago may not be as accurate as you need it to be to make a sound judgment as to whether to visit or not.
Travel insurance might be worth considering for a big ticket, non-refundable trip. The small price you will pay for insurance will be well worth it if an emergency medical situation comes up, or your baggage is lost, damaged, or even delayed. You will recoup at least some of the cost of your trip and feel some piece of mind as well.
All of these things are great in preparing yourself to go traveling to that exciting new country that you've always wanted to visit. Making sure you are prepared can take out all of the uncertainty that might make you nervous about being in a whole new place so you can simply enjoy your trip to the fullest.

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB or Board) found challenged claims directed to data security to be subject to covered business method (CBM) patent review notwithstanding the absence of claim limitations directed to a financial product or service, and concluded that the patent was subject matter ineligible under § 101. Square, Inc. v. Protegrity Corp., Case No. 2014-00182 (PTAB, Mar. 2, 2016) (Petravick, APJ).
Square filed a petition for CBM review of Protegrity's patent on grounds of patent ineligible subject matter under § 101, characterizing the claims as directed to the business method disclosed in the patent specification. A CBM patent is one that "claims a method or corresponding apparatus for performing data processing or other operations used in the practice, administration, or management of a financial product or service, except that the term does not include patents for technological inventions." America Invents Act § 18(d)(1). The legislative history indicates that "financial product or service" should be interpreted broadly.
Protegrity argued that the challenged claims were not directed to a financial product or service because "not a single word in a single claim of the . . . patent is purportedly directed to a 'financial product or service'" (emphasis in original). The Board nevertheless instituted, explaining in its final written decision that it does not interpret the statute as requiring "literal recitation of terms of data processing of financial products or services." Patent claims must only be broad enough to cover a financial product or service. In this regard, the Board noted that the patent discloses protection attributes that are used to protect against unauthorized access of data portions in a database, and that "banking is a field where protection against unauthorized access to databases that are used for administering and storing sensitive information is desired. . . . Banking is a financial activity."
The Board further noted that the patent specification included a figure depicting a "financial manager" as a person authorized to access the data element types disclosed in the patent. In addition, the Board pointed out that a declarant on behalf of the patent owner testified that the standard examples of market concern include protection of data items such as credit card numbers, credit card PIN numbers and salary information. Looking at the totality of circumstances, the Board agreed with Square that a preponderance of the evidence showed that at least one claim of the patent encompasses activities "that are financial in nature, incidental to a financial activity, or complementary to a financial activity."
The Board rejected the patent owner's argument that previous Board decisions demonstrate that the challenged patent is not a CBM patent. The panel noted that the prior Board decisions are neither precedential nor binding on the current panel. In addition, the panel explained that review of the allegedly conflicting decisions shows that "whether the patent is a covered business method patent rests upon the specific facts of those proceedings."
Practice Note: For more information on CBM review and the topic of "financial product or service," see this issue's article onBlue Calypso, LLC v. Groupon, Inc.

It's been the source of his irresistible hit records like "Turn On The Lights," "Sorry (Remix)" and "Neva Eva (Remix)"—just a handful of the 150 songs he's blessed in under 365 days. All eyes are on Future, and the flashing lights are blinding. With his sophomore album still gestating and new mixtape F.B.G. gaining steam, VIBE features one of 2013's most promising artists with our debut digital cover, the first of six to come this year (only available on VIBE.com).

With winter well and truly behind us (at last!), we're looking forward to the beauty and freshness of spring and all that comes with it. We've been speaking with the fantastic Keri-anne, double world champion and Olympic silver medalist in 10k open water, to find out how she keeps in shape!
As well as representing Team GB in the Rio Olympics 2016, Keri-anne founded Triscape to share her experience and encourage people to achieve their sporting challenges.
Want to train like an Olympian? Check out Keri-anne's Top Tips…
"Spring is a great time to start making a few changes to get fit for the summer. Here are some pointers from my experience to help you on your way…
Aim High!
Challenge yourself by setting manageable tasks. If you can't reach your goal straight away, break it up bit by bit, until you make it… Motivation is key!
My personal challenge is to walk 70,000 steps per week. Those long spring Sunday walks I'm sure will take me well on my way to achieving it!
Get Creative!
Getting fit doesn't automatically mean going to the gym. You can fit your exercise in around you. There are a ton of cool workouts that you can do in the comfort of your own home, in your hotel room or at your local park. There's really no excuses.
Check out my mobile workout, which you can do out & about below. These are some of my favourite exercises to help me keep in shape.
Make Simple (but effective) Changes!
Simple swaps within day-to-day activities can really make a difference to your overall fitness. Something as simple as taking the stairs is a really easy way to get the blood pumping.
Since my recent move to London I have made it my mission to take the stairs at every tube, including all 193 steps at Covent Garden but my goal is to find a reason to get off at Hampstead with 320 stairs.
Planning is key to success!
I always plan for my week ahead. This includes all the activities I am doing that week. This is a great help as it allows me to figure out when I can work out. Once I know what my plans are for the week I then do a meal planner. This cuts out all the temptation to take me off track as I'm less likely to reach for a takeaway if I know what I'm eating at home.
I usually make extra dinner to take for lunch the next day. If I have to go out for lunch, my will power usually flies out the window, but having lunch with me that I know tastes great stops me from opting for fries! My favourite meal to make is a morrocan style tagine – it always tastes so much nicer the next day.
Snacking can also be healthy if you make easy and simple food swaps. Some of my favourites include:
- Crisps for Popcorn
- Mid afternoon latte for a fresh mint tea
- Morning croissant for a Perkier porridge
PERK!ER Porridges are 100% gluten free. Just add water, stir & enjoy. Available from: ASDA, Morrisons & Sainsburys Supermarkets.
Find Something you LOVE!
Exercise is a lot easier if its something you enjoy and there are plenty of options out there for you to try. My passion is swimming. It's a great full body workout as well as a chance for my brain to switch off, helping me reduce stress and boosts my mood without fail. Swimming is a low impact sport so anyone of any age and any ability can get fit swimming. Go on take the plunge this Spring!"

text: How do I add or remove a name on a tenancy? Adding or removing a person on a tenancy. Joint tenancy information. Joint tenancy A joint tenancy is where the tenancy is in two names. With a joint tenancy, all tenants are responsible for all parts of the tenancy, (for example, paying the rent or making sure visitors do not create any nuisance). This means if one tenant breaks a tenancy condition, we can hold the other tenant responsible. Adding a person to your tenancy To add your spouse or partner to create a joint tenancy you need to complete a joint tenancy form and a Homesearch application form. You need to have been living with your partner for at least 12 months to be eligible – unless you are married or have a civil partnership, in which case the time frame does not apply. We will visit the property to check there are no problems before the forms can be approved. Both parties will be then be sent a letter to invite them to sign the new Tenancy Agreement. Forms are available from any of our service access points. Removing a person from a joint tenancy If you would like to remove your name from a tenancy you need to complete a form, which is available from any of our service access points. If there are no problems with the tenancy (so, for example, you have no rent arrears or caused no damage to the property) deeds will be drawn up that requires both parties to sign.

That, for a while, was as far as my good intentions went. The bulbs sat in the bags I had bought them in, and I engaged with the world in a variety of other ways—a bit like prayer can be, really. The good intentions are there, and even some degree of preparation. But when push comes to shove, almost anything, however trivial, can intervene and claim a higher place among our priorities.
Then, one morning, I was reading Anne Lamott's Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith and came upon her comment that bulbs are prayer too. Bulbs! She must have been reading my mind. Maybe my bulbs, still hanging there in the bag, might open that creaky gate to prayer. Maybe my bulbs could double as my personal Plan B. With renewed enthusiasm I got out the trowel and fork and set to on my unpromising backyard.
Now it happened that around this time I received an e-mail message from an old friend who had been going through a rough patch. We hadn't been in touch for a while, and at the end of his message he added a postscript. "Check out Is 45:3," he said, "in the N.R.S.V." Eager for any glimmer of encouragement in the general gloom of an approaching winter, I did as he suggested and found there this promise: "I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden in secret places." It felt as though the bulbs themselves had spoken those words.
My first discovery, when I finally spread the bulbs out on the grass in preparation for burial, was that a few of them had started to go moldy. These especially reminded me of issues in my life that I seem incapable of dealing with appropriately myself or, more sensibly, surrendering into God's hands. Instead they just hang around, like a bad smell, becoming more putrid with every passing day. I picked up the offending bulbs, wiped the green sheen from their outer skins, and laid them with as much gentleness as I could muster into the hole I had dug for them. In my heart I tried to lay to rest some of the life issues as well, trying to convince myself that I really do believe in resurrection and transformation.
The remaining bulbs followed—down into the darkness. It certainly feels like burial in the fall. But in the springtime.... Will there be a resurrection? Will these little specks of incipient life actually blossom out of this unlikely soil? My prayer as I planted was simple: "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief." And with every bulb, a little dream was buried too. A little hope. A little anxiety. I covered them all with a layer of the compost of trust, and there they lie in God's hands, for there is nothing more that I can do for them now.
My reflective time in the garden gave way to that peculiarly English reward for work completed: a cup of tea. As I enjoyed my brew, a memory came to mind that made me laugh out loud. Two people I know well once had a dear friend who died suddenly and prematurely, leaving them in deep grief for many months. Some years later they told me the story of how they had gone to her grave in what we in England rather graphically call the back end of the year, and planted daffodil bulbs for her. As they planted they, like me, were planting their sorrow and their loss. The following spring they returned to the graveside, full of hope that their grief would have turned into the promise of new life. But when they arrived they found no daffodils dancing in the April breeze. Instead they found a clump of sturdy onion plants! They tell me they stood there at their friend's grave and howled with laughter. Maybe they even recalled another of God's promises: "I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and give them gladness for sorrow" (Jer 31:13). They tell me too that amid their own peals of laughter they could distinctly hear their friend laughing along with them.
Sometimes I think the darkness is one of God's richest gifts to us. Things grow in the darkness. When I walk in my cold, damp, winter garden, I know now that it contains treasures still unrevealed. When I sift through the poor soil of my heart, I know that it holds secret riches that only God knows about.
A story is told of an eminent heart surgeon who liked to debate the existence of God with his faithful gardener. One day he thought he had clinched the matter. "I have cut open thousands of human hearts," he said, "but I have never seen a soul inside them." But the gardener had the last word: "Over the years I have accidentally sliced through thousands of daffodil bulbs with my spade, and I have never seen a daffodil inside them."
The dark holds treasures beyond our imagination, and the poverty of a wintering earth contains secret riches; but they reveal themselves in God's time, not ours. To be a believer is to trust in this unseen becoming. Some of my own concerns are lying at peace now in the garden. I will leave it to God whether they grow into daffodils or onions. Either way, today's tears will become tomorrow's laughter.

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of all our hearts be always acceptable to you O Lord, our strength and our redeemer.
In the 1991 movie City Slickers the cowboy Curly gives city slicker Mitch some life advice. They are riding horses along the prairie to move the herd from here to there. In this scene, Curly says to Mitch, "Do you know what the secret of life is? [holds up one finger] This." Mitch replies, "Your finger?" Curly scans the horizon, ignoring Mitch, and then explains, "One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean [nothin']." (expletive deleted)
Mitch thinks for just a moment and replies, "But, what is the "one thing?" As they ramble along, the hot sun shines on Curly's face and with a raised eyebrow, Curly replies, "That's what you have to find out." For Mitch, whose was about to turn 40 his One Thing was buried deep in his heart. His work was to sort out his One Thing in the midst of complicated life.
Of all the "things" for which Solomon could have asked (in today's first reading), when God showed up… of all the riches, or long life, or victory over his enemies, the One Thing Solomon wanted was an understanding mind. Solomon's motivation to understand, however, was not as simple as this appears. This little bit of text from our lectionary compilers does not tell the whole story.
See, Solomon was a complicated character and scripture more complicated than it appears. The text prior to today's reading offers background. The first verses describe Solomon as having married the daughter of Pharaoh. What does that imply? Well, one commentator explained, that, "political exigencies are one thing, but it is hard to justify kinship ties with Egypt the great oppressor of Israel."[1] Further, this marriage violated the Israelite covenant to "not have relations with foreign people." Subsequent verses describe Solomon as faithful and devoted, loving the Lord and walking in the statutes of his father David,[2] but worshipping by sacrificing and offering incense at high places.[3] Those "high places" were almost always strongly condemned when mentioned in the OT.
Yes, Solomon was a complicated character. And, the original Hebrew of this conversation between Solomon and God unveils the complications, too.
First, do you see (in that first line?) how The Lord appeared to Solomon, and God said? Two names being used. Here, The Lord and God. See, the English use of The Lord is usually from the Hebrew Yahweh, from the four letters YHWH. Yahweh is the only proper name for God in Hebrew, arising from the pronunciation of YH-WH, the sound of breathing. (yah…breathing in, weh…breathing out. That's a great spiritual practice on which to meditate - another sermon for another time). This name means something like, "immediacy, a presence," or "God is with us."[4]
The English use of God, in this case, is from the Hebrew Elohim, the subject of the Bible's first sentence, the Creator God. Elohim means God in the highest and widest sense, with the fullness of divine power and expansiveness of the heavenly host. This name means God beyond our imagination BIG.
Now, see how Solomon addresses God, "O Lord my God"? That double name emphasizes the majesty of Elohim found in the immediacy of Yahweh. That double name is commonly known in the Shema, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, The Lord is One" and emphasizes the paradoxical intimacy and immensity of the Divine.
So, when Solomon addresses God with his desire, he says something like: You, who are so close to me as my breath and so pervasive and expansive I can't comprehend, You are the only one to whom I can ask, from my depth, for an understanding mind.
But wait! There's more! For Solomon asks for understanding with the Hebrew word "shama," meaning discerning: to hear, to listen to, to obey. And Solomon asks for a mind with the Hebrew word "leb" meaning the heart: the feelings, the will and the intellect.
Our complicated Solomon is asking from this paradoxical God for a listening heart.
It's complicated and it's simple. Can you relate? People are always a mix of complex motives and it is dangerous to romanticize anyone. All lives have back stories, and all language used to describe them is insufficient because our feelings cloud the seemingly simple view of our lives.
Maybe our grief surrounding the death of our best friend is fraught with the time we were angry at her for something that we never got to resolve while she was alive.
Maybe our trust in a friend is frayed because he did not reply to our call for help when we really needed him.
Maybe our compassion for the woman begging for food is deepened because she looks like our sister who suffers with mental illness.
We, too, are complicated characters with mixed motives. What is our One Thing? Aren't we, too, asking, from that same paradoxical God for a listening heart? It's complicated and it's simple. We wonder with listening hearts: Why am I struggling financially? Why did my friend get cancer? Why did that transgender teenager take their own life? Why is that person so snarky at me because of the color of my skin or because of the gender of my lover? That One Thing for each of us, is different.
So on that day, to Solomon, who had prayed and walked in the statutes of his father David throughout his complicated, young adult life … to Solomon God appeared. God appeared. Who was this God? This was the God who came to Solomon despite his complicated failures and frailties. This was the God who wanted to listen with God's heart to him.
Last week I heard about the nearly-completed development of Nasa's most powerful telescope ever. The James Webb Space Telescope, (to be launched in October of 2018)will study, with infrared and other new technologies, every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang to the evolution of our own Solar System. This telescope is so powerful that it will be able to look at stars before they were born. Before they were born! That means exploring the whole of creation and the dynamic processes of stardust.
In November last year, NASA invited creative artists from around the country to visit the telescope, with its gold-coated mirror. Twenty-five selected artists brought art supplies to listen with the ear of their heart and create in front of the telescope, housed inside its massive cleanroom behind a viewing window. The artists used watercolor, 3D printed sculpture, silk screening, acrylics, comics, woodwork, metalwork, fiber art, ink, kite-making, tattooing and other media.
Their One Thing? To create in front of the observation of creation. To listen with their heart. To consider with awe, up close, the expansiveness of our universe.
See, this desire to understand, this desire to be known, is not only what we, humanity, seek, it is also the desire of the God who seeks us, the God who appears to us every moment. This is the God who initiates contact with us, despite our complicated lives and frailties. This is the God who makes the first move and keeps yearning to know us, to discern our hearts. This is the God of Love who meets us with a powerful, mysterious yearning and an intimacy so near as the breath passing over our lips.
This is the God whose "one thing" is to Love and be loved.

The 'Jony Ive Redesigns Things' Tumblr is a single-topic blog that pokes fun at the iOS7 flat design. Apple announced the design for its new mobile operating system this week at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, and lead designer Jony Ive's flat design is either loved or hated, inspiring parodies like this site.
Graphic artist Sasha Agapov launched 'Jony Ive Redesigns Things' to show what other brands and recognizable objects might look like if they had a similar design to iOS7. Agapov's humorous creations puts outrageous psychedelic colors and gradients on everything. He re-imagines the logos for social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, and pop culture items like the iconic Coca-Cola can and the Mona Lisa, depicting the famous painting now with a cellphone attached to her ear.

Did you know you have a problem GIS can solve?
February 24, 2016 by Matt Sheehan
Though I find baseball a somewhat bizarre sport (as slow as cricket with players in uniforms resembling pyjamas), I have always liked the Kevin Cosner film Field of Dreams. Its a wonderful idea "If you build it they will come", but alas with little place in reality. It's Hollywood after all. Cosner's problem in the film was solved by building the baseball field. In GIS we are also focused on problems. The early part of any customer engagement for us is problem discovery. But what if an organization does not recognise it has a problem?
Did you know you have a problem GIS can solve?

Hi friends can anyone tell how i can get client router mac address in C# code.
View Complete Post
Not sure which category to put this question in, so I will put it in here.
Just to give you an idea of the layout of my solution, I have the main project, along with 2 class libraries, BLL and DAL. (Business Logic Layer and Data Access Layer)
The BLL refers to the DAL and the main project refers to the BLL.
I had a test website and the code worked fine, but the same code will not work on the real project. The only difference is that in the test project, the code was on an aspx code behind, whereas in the real project, it is an ascx code behind (Web User Control )
The code is:
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ConnectionString
Dim recordEntry As New UserRecord(connectionString)
recordEntry.UserName = "TestName"

'The Avengers" Biggest Box Office Rivals
This weekend The Avengers set a new record by taking in $200.3 million on its opening weekend, far surpassing the $150 million expected. It's certainly impressive, but it actually isn't that surprising when you look back at the other films in the top 10 for the biggest debut weekends.
Every movie in the top 10 is a sequel, with the exception of The Hunger Games. Since The Avengers is essentially the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, Iron Man 2, and The Incredible Hulk, the film has four times the draw of a regular sequel. Plus, the movie was written and directed by Joss Whedon, who has a devoted cult following. Here's a look at the other films rounding out the top 10:
Film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Opening: $169,189,427
Release Date: 7/15/2011
Film: The Dark Knight
Opening: $158,411,483
Release Date: 7/18/2008
Film: The Hunger Games
Opening: $152,535,747
Release Date: 3/23/2012
Film: Spider-Man 3
Opening: $151,116,516
Release Date: 5/4/2007
Film: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Opening: $142,839,137
Release Date: 11/20/2009
Film: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
Opening: $138,122,261
Release Date: 11/18/2011
Film: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Opening: $135,634,554
Release Date: 7/7/2006
Film: Iron Man 2
Opening: $128,122,480
Release Date: 5/7/2010
Film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Opening: $125,017,372
Release Date: 11/19/2010
It's likely there will be another entry to the list this summer. 2008's The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, had the third biggest opening weekend ever, and The Dark Knight Rises, may join The Avengers in the over $200 million club on July 20, 2012.
