Let's Get It Started... Again!
We are going to try to get this started again. For those that wish to post on this blog, please introduce yourself in the comments for this post. Jim asked in an email if we could share some about ourselves. Allen replied to that email and he may copy that to this post, but I will jump in too.
I have been a Christ follower since childhood. I grew up in the Church of the Nazarene and have been ordained in that tradition. I have spent time as a pastor early in my career, but always planned on being a family therapist. I now own and operate a small group private practice in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
I have been happily married for 19 years and am the proud father of three daughters; a freshman in high school, fifth grader, and kindergartner.
I am a mystic at heart. I love the deep mystery of the eucharist, silence, solitude and contemplative prayer. I long for a deeper, more meaningful spirituality than I have experienced in the traditional protestant church. I am searching. I am drawn to the ideas and dialogue of the emergent movement.
I am looking forward to this conversation and all each participant has to offer.

Hi, Tim here. I see I've been chosen for the first blog. I'll try to get something up on the site by the end of the day this upcoming Monday. Here's a little biographical info.
I grew up in the Apostolic Christian Church, a separatist & sectarian Anabaptist tradition. I went to Wheaton College in Illinois where I was introduced through friends to the Episcopal liturgy. Even though it was a big change from the church of my roots, I loved it. Then felt called to attend Lutheran seminary and have been ordained Lutheran pastor since 1993. Am currently on leave from call to write my dissertation at the University of Iowa. I'm married and have three kids.

Living in Wirrumanu has been such a life changing experience both professionally and personally and to then have the opportunity to extend that experience into the greater Kimberley region is very much a continuation of that dream.
Travelling the Kimberleys over the last two weeks has been such a wake up call to the magic and diversity of Australia's landscapes. I have experienced these wake up calls many times before in Tasmania and Central Australia for example but the Kimberleys are again a very unique part of this country. To say that I experienced it all would be the wrong because of a few little factors that did inhibit our journey reaching the more famous destinations like the Bungle Bungles for example.
The biggest and most apparent factor was that all the national parks in the entire region were close (DOH) due to the truly unseasonable amounts of rain that fell through the the beginning months of the year. Don't worry I'm not got to drop the facts about just how much rain fell but you can rest assured it was enough to shut down the whole region.
So in reassessing our original intended journey we decided to make the most of the smaller more out of the way places that most travellers might not even stop at. It ultimately was still a very satisfying journey as the area quite luckily for us ill planned travellers does have spectacular country to spare.
Most of the time the places we camped at were beside the highway, just far enough off the road to not hear it or see it and most not having been used for some time.

The gift of presence
Kathy Mears
We are teaching our students that being present to others is important to showing others how much they are loved, while serving others is the way that we are called to live our lives as faith-filled Catholics.
In March, our office celebrated National Catholic Sisters Week. We had a small breakfast for the sisters who work at the Pastoral Center and we acknowledged all that they have done for Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Boston. After the breakfast, our sisters joined our current school leaders for Mass with Cardinal Sean. The sisters were very grateful, and we were very glad to show them our appreciation. For those of us who work in the Catholic Schools Office, we are very grateful to the sisters who built our school system. We fully understand that the success of our schools is because of the work the good sisters did for our students.
On April 17, Good Shepherd Sunday, our Church honors our pastors and the work that they do. We will acknowledge our pastors and all that they do to bring people to a relationship with Jesus on that Sunday. We will take a moment to thank them for their service.
Both the sisters and pastors have dedicated their lives in service to others. They also are people who are present to those they serve.
Being present to others is a gift. We are all very busy with our work, home lives and family obligations. Being willing to set aside time to be available and to be present with others shows our priorities. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is difficult, but being present to walk with others when things are great or when they are difficult is important to a successful Catholic school.
Our teachers and administrators, like our wonderful religious sisters and pastors, are present to our students and their families. Our teachers and school leaders are the face of Christ to their school communities. They put others first and show their love of God through their service to others.
The willingness to be of service, to be present to the needs of others is what separates Catholic education from other educational programs. Our schools are places where the adults know their students and work to insure that our students receive the best possible education. They are places where students are learning each day and where we are expanding our students' curiosities and helping them to see what they can be and who they can serve as they grow. Our schools introduce our students to Jesus and a faith that will sustain them.
Teaching students to serve others and to know, love and serve God makes our education different. Our students donate thousands of hours to our communities in eastern Massachusetts. Our programs are more than service learning, however. Our programs are dedicated to teaching our students that serving others is a way to live. We are teaching our students that being present to others is important to showing others how much they are loved, while serving others is the way that we are called to live our lives as faith-filled Catholics.
Recently, I was invited to read to a group of three year old students at St. Columbkille. The students were excited, as it was right before Easter. I was struck, however, about how much these young students knew about their faith and their role in the Church. These young students knew that Easter was more than the Easter Bunny and an Easter egg hunt. They knew about Jesus. They also knew that they are called to help each other and to be nice to each other. These young students knew about prayer. They knew that they said prayers to God and that there are special prayers for different occasions. Their knowledge of their faith at three years of age was very strong. They are on the path that will serve them well.
Catholic education is personal education. It is education that addresses how to live. Students are taught that God is present in our schools and our schools are different because of how they are taught to be present to others. Catholic education embodies these concepts and assists our students in becoming the person God wants them to be. We are blessed to share that gift with our students. We ask for your prayers as we continue our work.

Tips to Getting the Best Beachfront Rental
If you have not visited Thailand beaches, there is so much to enjoy right from the sand along the coast, sound of the waves and the good breeze that has travelled miles and finally hits you face. You definitely would enjoy digging your toes into the wet sand. It would even be more fun where you find beachfront rentals and hence would not have to travel for long before getting to the beach.
To have the best moments, you would need to make sure that you take your time in your research due to the fact that the beachfront rentals you go for play a big role in determining the utility you get from your stay in Thailand. Lana Thai Villa trip advisor will take you through major things you must ensure to enjoy your stay along the Thailand beaches. You would need to note that Lana Thai Villa has served clients along the cost for quite some time and hence perfectly understand the coastal dynamics especially when it comes to the hospitality industry.
According to Lana Thai Villa trip advisor, you would need to start by ensuring that you conduct your research right. It would be modest to make sure that you do your research in terms of what you want, where you want to spend as where you may be interested in. Lana Thai Villa asserts that rental tends to be one of the aspects that demand a large proportion of your budget and hence the need to make sure that you go with the best. In a case where you live in a coastal state, you may have an idea of what to expect but would need to research about rentals to the destination you plan to visit. Lana Thai Villa as a trip advisor also assures you that you will get affordable beachfront rentals everywhere as long as you do your research right.
You would also need to note that the moment young adults and kids are out of school, the beach must fill up. To save some cash, you would need to make sure that you figure out a beachfront rental early enough and book it most preferably during off-peak. You would also note that most rental management tends to have their property repaired during off-peak season. You would as a result need to make sure that the property you just booked will be usable by the time you visit.
Lana Thai Villa also warns against situations where you blindly book a rental having not gone through the deposit refunds and cancelation policies. Lana Thai Villa advises that you go to beachfront rentals that allow you to cancel within a week or less where need arise. The off-peak season tend to have fewer people traveling making it hard to find a replacement in case of a cancelation.

Wednesday evening, 43-year-old Rosemary Billquist decided to take her two Labrador Retrievers, Sugar and Stella, on a walk in a field behind her western New York home. Little did she know that she would not be returning home.
Shortly later, Rosemary's husband, Jamie, heard his dogs barking. When he went outside to see what the commotion was about, he was greeted by EMTs who were pulling into his driveway. One of the EMTs was also a family friend.
"Jamie, we've got a gunshot wound," the friend said as he rushed into the field.
The victim ended up being Rosemary.
How the Shooting Occurred
The Billquist's neighbor, 34-year-old Thomas B. Jadlowski, thought he had seen a deer in the field. He grabbed his single shot handgun and shot Billquist from 200 yards away, The Buffalo News reported.
Once Jadlowski found Rosemary, he applied pressure to his wound as he called 911.
EMTs took Rosemary to UPMC Hamot in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she was pronounced dead.
"They tried saving her," Jamie Billquist said. "It was just too bad. ... It's horrific. It will be with me the rest of my life."
According to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office, Jadlowski has been fully cooperative with the investigation. So far no charges are being brought forth.
Hunting Violations
Jadlowski called 911 at 5:24 p.m., 40 minutes after sunset, to report the incident. New York state's hunting laws prohibit an individual from hunting deer after sunset, sheriff's officials told The Buffalo News.
Because of the violation, the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office, Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation are all working together to determine if charges will be filled, and if so, what those charges will be.

Graphics at Runshaw College
Course description
Why should I come to Runshaw to study Graphics?
Graphics is an exciting and wide-ranging subject and we want students to leave multiskilled and aware of all the opportunities that exist within the industry.
The Graphics course is art based, giving you the opportunity to develop manual imagemaking skills using a range of media. This will include traditional art techniques such as drawing, printmaking and collage. You will also learn specialist industry software including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign using these programmes to explore image manipulation, vector graphics and layout design. The course gives you the opportunity to discover your own specialist area within graphics, from illustration to animation.
Our classrooms include a graphics studio, print room and dark room, whilst we also have three Apple Mac suites that use industry standard graphic software, and an on-site art shop.
It is important to please note that this course is different to a GCSE Graphic products course, since the Graphics course at Runshaw enables students to create mainly 2D work, such as posters, CD covers, flyers and magazine articles.
What will I study?
You will investigate the main areas of graphic design:
- advertising
- illustration
- packaging
- typography (design using type and letter forms)
- computers in art and design
- historical and contextual studies in graphic design
Within these areas you will produce personal responses to set briefs with expressive and experimental use of different media, techniques and processes. You will develop your drawing skills for observation, communication and experimentation as well as your contextual understanding of Graphic Design.
Previous briefs have included advertising campaigns, fashion illustration and packaging design, all focusing on developing your use of visual language.
Entry requirements
For access to our A Level Programme, our entry requirements are 5 x grade B equivalent (5 x Grade 5 or B) in a range of separate subjects.
For Graphics specifically, this should include a grade B in Art & Design (NOT graphic products) OR a task option is available.
How is the course assessed?
• an internally assessed (60%)
• an externally set examination paper (40%)
Financial information
No course fees are applicable for 16-18 year old learners who meet funding regulations.
Future opportunities
Where are you going?
- Art Director
- Artist
- Graphic Designer
- Illustrator
- Marketing Co-ordinator
Further information
Which subjects complement this A Level?

- English
- Photography
- Media studies
- Psychology
- Business Studies
- Film Studies
How to apply
You can apply for this course through UCAS Progress. Add this course to your favourites so you can start making an application.

Hi All,
I have multiple spring context files with beans declared in it.Some of the beans declared are interdependent between the XMLs. For example there is a bean declared in contextfile A is given as a reference on a contextxml file B.
The context files are present in META-INF/spring folder as I am deploying that as a OSGi bundle in virgo server.
My question is
How spring decides on the order of loading the the xml files?
I faced an error (bean reference error) while deploying this to one of the virgo server and no error on the 2nd instance of the virgo server.
I used import to load the context files in the order i prefer and that eliminated the error.
Will using "depends-on" attribute while declaring the beans solve the error with multiple context xml files?
Any suggestions on this is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply... any idea how spring does it on its own.. like it should have some kind of algorithm it should be following to load the beans from the context files.
I would like to have an idea on it.Will try to google it and see if i can get anything on that.
Leave a comment:
Spring reference does a pretty good job explaining it. Often times its not necessary as spring is able to figure out dependencies on its own or by using the ref attribute.

happy Tuesday guys ! as you people know , i am queen of "pattern banyak" and thus , i'm always looking for new stuff to do to not feel so lifeless HAHAHAH . on top of that , i'm also into healthy eating even though i'm kinda bad at it .... i'm forever eating bad food it's like everyday is cheat day to me heh . however ! during the summer holidays i had the time and liberty to create healthy breakfast / brunch foods since i no longer had to wake up at 6am everyday .
people on my ask.fm often ask stuff like "how do you make (insert food i recently posted on instagram)" or "what do you normally eat for breakfast" or things like that . so today, i'll be blogging on simple and healthy food you can make under 10 minutes !
1. Yogurt Parfaits
one of my most favourite things to create / devour ! it looks complicated but is actually really simple and fun to make ahaha .
basically , all you need is your choice of fruit , yogurt and granola and simply mix it up , piling on the ingredients layer by layer ! my favourites are strawberries , bananas and blueberries and i like to use whole-wheat cornflakes too . as for yogurt , i normally use Nestle's fat-free fruit yogurt / natural Greek yogurt .
yogurt parfaits i've made so far :
strawberry yogurt + whole wheat cornflakes + strawberries + bananas
2. Cereal Bowls & 3. Smoothies
this is probably everyone's favourite childhood breakfast : cereal !!! when i was younger i LOVED Coco Crunch , but of course now that i'm older i wanna eat something with less sugar and refined carbs . thus , i usually go for Special K's Whole Wheat Cornflakes . as for milk .. i never liked milk , except when it comes with cereal ahahah , i use natural Gluten Free Soy Milk ! you could also use rice milk / fat-free milk etc .
as for smoothies , there's no fixed recipes i use , i usually just blend up whatever i feel like having . it's really simple , what i usually do is make sure i have an approximate 1:1 portion of ice to yogurt , add in a banana/mango for creaminess , add in some berries (optional) , a splash of milk and then blend it up ! i usually like a thicker consistency , but if you want a thinner one then feel free to add more milk / sub the yogurt with milk :)
whole wheat cornflakes (really , my new found love) and blueberry smoothie ! (1 cup ice + 1 cup yogurt + 1 banana + 3 or 4 blueberries + 1 banana)
mix your cereal up with some fruits if you wanna be pattern banyak like yours truly
plain cereal and milk when i'm too lazy to give a shit + strawberry smoothie (same recipe as blueberry smoothie except sub the blueberries for strawberries)
4. Muesli Bowls
similar to cereal bowls , except this time its muesli + yogurt/smoothie . you could use milk too but i never tried it :O fell in love with Yogood's Muesli a few months back and i just can't stop eating it ....
muesli + smoothie + blackberries + bananas
muesli + yogurt + bananas + mangoes (hidden under the bananas)
5. Whole Wheat Crepes
ahh , crepes ! i just love dessert for breakfast (or lunch or any meal basically) . crepes are usually filled with loads of sugar so i'm super glad to find a healthy-fied version of it !
this is the recipe i used : http://www.food.com/recipe/basic-whole-wheat-french-crepes-102058?photo=195963
you could either put toppings on your crepes or wrap them up with fruits like i did ! i also melted some dark chocolate and peanut butter to get some sweetness ahaha . trust me , you do not want to eat plain crepes as it is completely tasteless ...
6. Fruit on Toast
a staple breakfast for me since my high school days , this simple yet absolutely delicious breakfast shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes to prepare :)
i like to use no-sugar added peanut butter but cream cheese is recommended as well . you could use fruit preserves / jam if you like ! to ensure your peanut butter is healthy , always read the labels . the ingredients should always ONLY contain roasted peanuts , food conditioners and salt . the lesser the ingredients the better .. note that Smucker's Peanut Butter / Ladies' Choice and other commercial brands are full of sugar so remember to check the nutritional contents . healthy peanut butter are usually pricier though .. for bread , i like Gardenia's 100% Whole Grain with Canadian Purple Wheat as the glycaemic index is the lowest i could find in the market + it's low in fat and calories ahahah . fun fact : i love reading food labels and comparing them .
7. Smoothie Bowls
it's basically a smoothie in a bowl + me trying to be fancy
mango smoothie + dragonfruit + walnuts .. me trying to be all health blogger / fitspo HAHAHA .
the professional ones like to pile on lots more fruits , nuts and chia seeds but ya i'm too lazy for that .. here's an example :
photo credits from domesticate-me.com
8. 2-Minute French Toast in A Mug
used my favourite Gardenia bread again to healthify it HAHA
recipe from http://www.prettyprudent.com/2012/01/entertaining-food/2-minute-french-toast-in-a-cup/
9. Egg Mayo Sandwich
one of my favourite things to eat for lunch because 1. it's so easy and fuss-free and 2. i love bread and carbs . all you have to do is boil and egg and while you're doing that , butter your bread . after the egg is hard-boiled , chop/mash it up with a spoon and add in some mayo ! i use vegetarian mayo from Telly but you can use light-mayo as well . (remember , check the food labels to get the healthiest one)
10. Banana "Ice-Cream"
as a big fan of ice-cream ... i constantly crave it .. thus , this snack gives me a quick fix for my cravings but keeps me healthy too hehe . this particular one is mixed with strawberries , blueberries and chocolate chips !
if you're wondering what this is .. it's actually frozen bananas made to resemble ice-cream . i used a Yonanas machine to make this !!
it requires you to pre-freeze bananas before making it but trust me , it's so worth it because the end product tastes just like ice-cream omggggg
11. Overnight Oats
nothing new to the world of health foods , this remains a favourite for a lot of people . the idea is to mix 1 portion of oats with 1 portion of liquid (yogurt/milk etc) , together with some sort of sweetener (honey/mashed bananas etc) plus whatever else you'd like to have in your oats , mix it all together , leave it in the fridge overnight and voila , breakfast is served the next day !
my version : couldn't decide whether i wanted milk or Greek yogurt in it so i put in both HAHA . 1/3 cup of oats + equal amounts of yogurt and soy milk , a teaspoon of honey and half a cup of silvered almonds .
here's what it looks like before chilling in the fridge overnight ..
topped it with some fruits the next morning ! anyway , there are thousands of overnight oats recipes online so feel free to try the more adventurous ones such as peanut butter , apple pie or tropical flavours .
12. Oven Fried Chicken
literally just tried this yesterday and i'm amazed at how it works !!! tastes like real fried chicken too , love how it uses not even half the amount of oil you would normally use , plus the process of preparing it and coating it in batter takes less than 10 minutes , and then all you have to do is pop it in the oven !
placed the chicken in a deep dish lined with baking paper after coating , i strongly advise you to do this to save time for cleaning up
result !! LOOKS AND TASTE LIKE REAL FRIED CHICKEN I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING .. even my mom approved of this and trust me when i say she hates my healthy recipes ahahahh . anyway , here's the recipe : http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oven-fried-chicken-ii/ ; i omitted the paprika and only used one egg because i didn't use as much chicken as the recipe stated . i also didn't care about the measurements of the flour and breadcrumbs and just poured the amount i roughly needed on a plate HAHAHAH . i guess what i like about cooking is it's very subjective and you can do everything according to your own preference , unlike baking where everything is very fundamental .
sooo there you have it , things i like to eat which are healthy and yummy + can all be done under 10 mins !!! hope you like this post and do update me if you guys ever try making these recipes ! hit me up in the comments section or contact me on my ask.fm , link found in my sidebar . have fun and i'll blog soon x

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Genres: M/M Romance, Urban Fantasy
Published by Less Than Three Press
Released on June 1, 2016
Format: eARC
Source: Publisher
It has been a year since Dane, Mercury, and the Dragon kits had any unusual excitement, but that is all about to change. Houseguests- unexpected and possibly unwanted, but most definitely dangerous- invade their home. It takes family togetherness to meet the new challenge.
This is the third installment in the Supernatural Consultant series and I get so excited now to see the latest release because I know the fun, excitement, intrigue, and a bit of passion I get with each book. I wouldn't recommend taking these out of order as there is a back history and assumption that the reader already knows the ongoing situation. Besides, these are fantastic, why miss out.
So, Dane and Mercury and the kits are going along the usual lines with family chores, togetherness, household accidents, and fun in the snow, when their peace is broken by an unexpected visit from Dane's mother. He has been estranged from her for a long time mostly because she is a controlling, manipulative witch who preferred him under her thumb. Uh, I did mean that all quite literally.
Mercury and the kits aren't sure what to think of this. Dragons aren't used to having extended family connections like in-laws and grandparents though Mercury is doing his best to change things for his own family of kits. Dane has never spoken of his mother and Mercury is pretty sure he knows why now. It's like armed neutrality in their home though the kits teach dear grandma a lesson about dragons and it is fun to watch. Mercury gets the opportunity to train another in dragon parenting even as he ponders the dynamics in his relationship with Dane as his partner and lover and as they share parenting. When the danger threatens, Mercury is more than ready to protect the home and family that mean everything to him.
A group of unexpected visitors arrive that leave Dane, Mercury, and the kits on edge. Someone has tried to set Dane up and their plotting continues forcing Dane to figure out what is going on quickly. Is it a rival territory leader? Is it the scientists who want the dragons? Or is a whole other player on the scene now? His family is in danger and the usual calm Dane shows a side that is terrifying to anyone seeking to hurt what is his.
I love how each book focuses on this group as a family. It is one of the most unique Urban Fantasy series that I have seen. The world has all sorts of supernaturals, but these stories focus on Dane, a demigod and the dragons who are his family. There is action, there is intrigue, but there is mostly humor, family life, and the occasional private moment for the guys (if the kits are out of trouble long enough).
Dane and Mercury both work in supernatural policing with Dane's work being private consulting and Mercury for the governments' department. But this one didn't spotlight their work so much this time until the second half of the story. The trouble starts out in-house so to speak and eventually leads to trouble from without as well.
The seven dragon kits are growing up and the oldest three are teenagers with the youngest now five. I like how the author advances the story so it's another place in the family's life when the next installment comes out. This particular installment focuses on the mother in law visit for Mercury, troublesome mother-son relations for Dane, and the kits delight in having a grandma and teaching her how to behave around dragons. I couldn't keep back the chuckles when this stern, cold, controlling witch meets her match in the young ones and gains an appreciation for her son by watching him and his partner in action. Wonder if the father in law will drop in next or maybe Mercury's side of the family will make things interesting…
It was a fast and fun read. Can't wait for the next story. I just love the warm, light, heartwarming these stories are told. I would recommend them to M/M Urban Fantasy lovers, but it has to be those who can appreciate something light and full of family, too.
My thanks to Less Than Three Press for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

karma of the little black dog
... this is a true tale
... once, when i was in the florida keys, i decided
to walk the highway from Big Pine Key to Key West
... along the way, on the fast 4 lane highway over
the ocean, a little black puppy dog came trotting up
wagging it's tale... wanting me to be it's master
... cars whizzing by it's innocent little body, totally
oblivious to their danger
... i had no facilities, being a vagabond, not even a string
to tie it up along the roadside
... i wasn't going to pick it and carry it either, it might
have ticks, worms, and sh*t on it
... so after trying unsuccesfully to scare it away from me,
i just kept walking as if it didn't exist
... it kept following behind... until some car ran it over at 60 mph
... what was i to do? i felt some sort of cosmic guilt
over it, like it was a betrayal of the trust living beings
need to put in one another
... now this is the weird part
... about 10 years later, i was walking with friends
on a railroad track in the countryside of michigan
... on the way back, there is a little black dog hopelessly
stranded in a mudhole, looking exhausted
... so after we got home, i thought i will go back
out onto the tracks and pull that dog out of the muck,
as a way of making up for seeing that first dog die
... i get back to the mudhole, and the dog is gone.
... perplexed i turned around on the tracks, and was hit
with the spotlight of an oncoming freight train
... it didn't worry me, because it looked so far away and was silent
... but they come up on you faster than you think, and i was
forced to jump down a 9 foot cliff into tall grass
... i was within seconds of being pulverized
... and i just thought about those 2 dogs,
what kind of soul can do that, being dogs thru time
and what karmic lesson does that impart?

Troubleshoot IncrediMail® to Outlook Email Conversion
While easy and pleasing to use, IncrediMail, on the other hand, does have insufficient features that can suite a business environment. In spite of its animated features, emoticons, 3D images, and sound effects, IncrediMail does hardly appear to be a worthwhile email client application that can help a business set up a secure communication mechanism within an organization. And when it comes to an ideal email app for a business, Microsoft Outlook appears to be one that includes all the powerful features what a business requires.
Though IncrediMail doesn't have any feature that can help a user translate all the email messages into a common format that can later be exported to a new email client, but there are some steps that can be used to do so effortlessly.
For a better and flawless outcome, you should contact IncrediMail technical support professionals who take the process through different procedures with the utmost accuracy.
Here are some steps that you have to walk through while converting email messages from IncrediMail to Outlook application:
Before the email conversion, you need to save the email messages to EML files that can be taken to other email applications. While going through the procedure, there is a chance to meet with some sorts of technical problems - in such conditions, you should dial IncrediMail support center phone number and access the best support for the issue you may encounter.To save the messages in .eml files:
- Launch IncrediMail.
- Click Extract to EML.
- Select the messages you have to convert.
- Click Next.
- Select your desktop and save the messages in .eml file.
- Open Microsoft Outlook and click the File tab.
- Click Import icon and open Import and Export Wizard.
- Click "Import from another program or file" and click Next.
- It comes up with options - select "Outlook Data File (.PST)".
- Browse the file that you have saved on your desktop and click Next to take the procedure further.
And thus you can convert IncrediMail email messages to the MS Outlook effortlessly. In addition to these steps, you can also accomplish the conversion process through some third-party convertor tools. But before selecting a third party tool for email conversion, you would better IncrediMail technical support center phone number so as to select the best one among the available tools.
There are some third-party IncrediMail tech support companies that can help you with the best solution to your plan to convert IncrediMail email messages into Outlook email client application. Select a particular one based on your requirements and get your problems resolved in a real time.

A dummy in-memory cache for development and testing. (Not recommended for production use.)
Project description
>>> pip install dummycache
>>> from dummycache import Cache >>> c = Cache()
The basic interface is set(key, value, timeout=None) and get(key, default=None):
>>> c.set('key_a', 'Good morning, today!', 60) # Set value in cache for 60 seconds >>> c.get('key_a') 'Good morning, today!'
Wait 60 seconds:
>>> c.get('key_a') None
If timeout is not provided, the value is saved forever or until it is overridden or explicitly deleted:
>>> c.set('key_b', 'Good afternoon, forever!') # Set value in cache forever
If timeout is zero or negative, the value is not saved. The value previously saved with the same key will also be deleted:
>>> c.set('key_b', 'Good bye', 0) # The value is not set >>> c.get('key_b') None
cache.get() can take a default argument. This specifies which value to return if the object doesn't exist in the cache:
>>> c.get('key_a', 'has expired') 'has expired'
To add a key only if it doesn't already exist, use the add() method. It takes the same parameters as set(), but it will not attempt to update the cache if the key specified is already present:
>>> c.set('key_c', 'Initial value') >>> c.add('key_c', 'New value') >>> c.get('key_c') 'Initial value'
If you need to know whether add() stored a value in the cache, you can check the return value. It will return True if the value was stored, False otherwise.
You can delete keys explicitly with delete(). This is an easy way of clearing the cache for a particular object:
>>> c.delete('key_c')
- Finally, if you want to delete all the keys in the cache, use clear(). Be careful with this; clear() will remove
- everything from the cache, not just the keys set by your application.
>>> c.clear()

Extension of Deadline for Green Targets
It is unrealistic to achieve all the environmental targets set up by Swedish parliament in 1999, according to the Environment Minister Andreas Carlgren. On Tuesday the Government proposed stretching the time frames of the targets.
"The targets should not be impossible, that undermines the confidence in the system," Carlgren told the news agency TT.
The purpose of the targets, when they were introduced, was to create a way to measure the efficiency of the environment policies in the medium and long term. 16 targets were set up, and were supposed to be achieved by 2020. Now the Government wants to change the time frame, so that the targets are met "within a generation". At the same time, benchmark targets along the way are introduced.
According to Andreas Carlgren, one of the targets - to keep a protective ozone layer - is nearly met. Another ten targets are also achievable. But four targets Carlgren thinks will be very hard to reach in the stipulated time frame: the limiting the effect on the climate, a poison free environment, a good town environment and a protection of the biological diversity.
"The difficulty is that nature needs a long time to recover, but also that the issues sometimes are completely dependent on international measures," says Carlgren.
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation is positive to proposed system with targets and benchmark targets, and the organisation's general secretary tells TT that it is a relief that a system with targets remains, since "there has been talk of scrapping the system all together".

At least Sony is doing well here
Which can't be said about their mobile division
I'm not sure anyone will buy them. Perhaps Sony meant "ship six million" ?
Microsoft will probably make some kind of modified cheaper hololense for the new console , and/or make the existing one work as well.
Depends on the experience Sony intends to provide. Hardcore gamers will stay away from this gen because they know better. However if Sony manages to offer a Nintendo Wii kind of platform then the 6M is more than attainable.

Every week, the Louisville Women's Sports Network highlights a local woman by asking her six questions about her health and fitness routine. Sponsored by Baptist Health Sports Medicine, this week's guest is Kristin Walls. If there is a woman you'd like us to feature, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I'm the evening meteorologist at WHAS11. I have unusual work hours, getting to the station at 2:30 in the afternoon. I put my own forecast together along with making all the graphics you see on the air. I'm on the air at 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. My day typically doesn't end until midnight.
Outside of work, I'm a CrossFitter and a runner. Staying fit and in shape is very important to me. I usually try to sign up for a CrossFit competition or a race (Tough Mudder or half marathon) to keep me in line!
Six Questions About Your Fitness & Health:
1) What is your weekly training/exercise routine?
I work out 5 days a week with my rest days usually falling on Thursday and Sunday. Rest days are so important (if not more important than work out days!). I get into the gym around 9:30 in the morning and spend a few hours lifting weights and doing cardio.
2) How do you prepare for a workout?
I have the same morning routine before my workout. I take some amino energy and eat half of an English muffin (carbs) along with a Quest bar (protein). As soon as I get into the gym, I spend 15 to 20 minutes stretching.
3) What do you eat, drink or do for quick energy?
Some of my favorite "energy" drinks are Kill Cliff, Amino Energy, and Fit Aide. They are all great recovery drinks and are very refreshing! I will drink coffee on occasion, but it's about once every few weeks.
4) What is your daily nutritional meal plan when training?
I wish I could say I was better about meal planning for the rest of my day! I'm a horrible cook and I hate eating leftovers, so unless someone cooks me a nice home-cooked meal, I tend to get take-out. But, healthy take out! I always stop by Whole Foods, Chop Shop Salad, Subway, and the like. I'm always trying to eat healthy when I can.
5) What do you snack on between meals when training?
My favorite snacks are RxBars, Quest bars, Cliff bars, greek yogurt, fruit, and vegetables.
6) What are your fitness & health goals?
I'm constantly striving for new personal records (PR), both at CrossFit and running. Anytime I get a new PR, it pushes me even more to get into the gym and workout. My biggest motivator, though, is to stay healthy and fit.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - House and Senate negotiators agreed Thursday to put thousands of airport security workers on the federal payroll, ending an impasse that had delayed an airport security bill for a month.
House Republicans agreed to a key provision of the Senate approach to airport security, putting some 28,000 passenger and baggage screeners on the federal payroll.
On most other issues, the senators agreed to the House version, including extending many of the security measures to other forms of transportation, such as rail, bus and sea.
A final bill could be on President Bush's desk within days.
Airline stocks ($XAL) soared 5.5 percent, in part because energy prices tumbled and in part because the deal on security may give passengers the green light to fly again. See full story.
Americans "will travel in greater safety," said Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta, praising the compromise.
"I'm pleased with 99 percent" of the deal, said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House aviation subcommittee.
"I do think we have an agreement," House Transportation Committee Chairman Don Young, R-Alaska, told reporters after a closed door meeting among negotiators from both parties and houses of Congress.
A final deal would come "some time today," said Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Fritz Hollings, D-S.C. Top leaders in both parties were reviewing the agreement while staffers put it into legislative language.
The Senate unanimously approved a bill a month ago that would put airport passenger and baggage screeners on the federal payroll, while the more partisan House bill would give the president flexibility to decide if the screeners should be federal law enforcement officers or continue to work for private firms.
The bill would also bolster cockpit security and increase the number of federal marshals on flights. The bill would increase screening of baggage, with the goal of having all bags checked and matched to passengers on board.
The compromise agreement would phase in federal control of airport security.
Under the tentative deal, the Transportation Department would take immediate responsibility for the oversight of screeners. Within a year all screeners would become employees of the federal government. However, five airports that meet strict federal standards could opt out of the system and use local law enforcement officials or private security firms for screening functions.
Mineta said the new federal screeners could be fired easily if they don't measure up to tough standards.
The negotiators also agreed that passengers would pay a fee of $2.50 per flight to finance increased security measures. There would be a maximum $5 charge per trip.
Meanwhile, United Airlines said it would put stun guns in cockpits to give pilots a means of subduing potential hijackers. See full story.

By Wes Vernon
It is with a mixture of caution and fascination that one reviews a book by Michael Savage. Some toxic controversies in which he has been embroiled transcend his worldview (about which some have questioned).
Consider, however, that the British government outrageously has denied him entry into its kingdom and that some 10 million Americans are drawn to his radio talkshow. Like him or not, he is not to be ignored.
In Trickle Down Tyranny: Crushing Obama's Dream of the Socialist States of America, the author makes the case that — unlike Obama's 43 predecessors (good and bad) who merely made mistakes — this president is suspect of deliberately attempting to bring down the United States.
Back to basics
"The next president must love America" is Savage's premise. He believes — literally and beyond campaign rhetoric — that our country cannot survive another four years of Obama. Though this tome fulfills the take-no-prisoners expectations of "Savage Nation" fans, the author's point is about far more than verbal rock-throwing.
Trickle-Down Tyranny is crammed with fact after fact and, more to the point, many instances of "connecting the dots," some with frightening scenarios. Mr. Savage cites multiple small steps that, when taken together, lend some credence to his comparison of the current administration to Hitler's step-by-step takeover of Nazi Germany. "The parallels," he writes, "are so disturbing."
Media's power to ignore
Though the talkshow host expresses a personal dislike for media mogul Rupert Murdoch (the feeling is mutual), he defends the latter against his rival, left-wing financier George Soros (though he fears Soros is winning).
Murdoch's (now-shuttered) News of the World in London had indeed "violated the privacy rights" of convicted pedophiles. Largely ignored by the media's anti-Murdoch echo chamber, notes Savage, is that "dozens and dozens of the pedophiles were out of prison and living in neighborhoods with young families with small children."
Savage reports that "most Britons" do not believe government's responsibility to protect the privacy rights of pedophiles should supersede the safety of kids. The "child-molesting felons" were forced to move away as a result of the investigative reports.
. And the ultimate motive was?
Moreover, Mr. Savage cites Murdoch rivals in Britain who were guilty of far more egregious privacy violations. Singling out Murdoch, the author contends, was part of an attempt to neuter the Murdoch-owned Fox News on this side of the pond in time to save Obama in the upcoming election.
Hanging over Murdoch's head are threats (implied or explicit) of legal action by Attorney General Eric Holder (named by Savage as one of the most corrupt officials in the Obama administration).
Without explicitly using the term, the author leaves the reader to speculate that Murdoch is being blackmailed to "toe the line," even though no American was involved with wrongdoing in Britain's eavesdropping scandal. Nor were any of Murdoch's U.S. outlets

Mathematics undergraduate evaluates validity of qualification identification system
Searching for some direction for her future, Wendy Kussmann discovered the Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program and got much more than direction; she got clarity.
"The first two years of college are exploratory, trying on different 'hats' to decide which to wear in the future," she said. "By becoming a part of MLEF, I had the opportunity to expand my exploratory ideas and learn exactly which 'hat' I wish to wear in the future. I believe that having the ability to finally hone in on one's true passion is what makes this program a great opportunity for its interns."
As an undergraduate at Northwestern State University (NSU), Kussmann is a double major, working towards both mathematics and mathematics education degrees. Her participation in MLEF, which is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science Education (ORISE), presented her with the opportunity to gain some real-life experience utilizing the skills she has gained from college. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE), MLEF expands STEM opportunities for minority and female students through 10-week summer internships. All eligible candidates are encouraged to apply for the program. ORISE is managed by ORAU for DOE.
For her project, Kussmann used a SAP Human Capital Management system to provide real-time access to individual employee training qualifications for the DM Petroleum Operations division of DOE's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) Project Management Office. Because not all employees take their training at the same time, the SAP system would enable managers to track who needs to be trained and when. To accomplish this, she collaborated closely with her mentor, and the department head, Joseph Srofe.
"I am helping determine the validity of their [DM Petroleum Operations] qualification identification system by creating a communication, reporting and testing plan to ensure the validity of the data that is being captured," she explained. "Ultimately, I am helping the company verify employees are qualified and skilled to perform their work via technical analysis, performance gap analysis and other diagnostic tests."
Kussmann learned how to apply the statistical skills she has obtained from NSU to project management, while also gaining experience as help desk support. The division she was involved with communicates and educates all areas of the company to ensure SPR employees are properly trained on everything from safety issues to individual tasks, providing her with some experience teaching before she entered into her semester of student teaching.
She also had the opportunity to learn new technologies.
"I was unaware of the SAP system, but through MLEF, I learned much more about SAP and its architecture, as well as overall project management skills," she said. "I have also learned much about the complex relationships between qualifications, jobs, people, positions and courses, and how they all interact."
Overall, Kussmann believes the experience will be extremely beneficial to her future career goals. She had the opportunity to learn from many people throughout SPR and feels much more certain about where she plans to go with her life as she returns to NSU to complete her two bachelor's degrees.
"This experience has not only been a great opportunity for me, but it has also opened many doors and helped redefine my future goals," Kussmann said. "Because of my positive experience with internships, I hope to become a liaison for internship programs to help students at the university level achieve the same opportunity."

Serco secures major three-year contract
Published: 01 August, 2013
Emergency Management Improvement Programme for nuclear management company Sellafield.
In April 2013 Serco secured a major 3-year contract with Sellafield Ltd to assist with the delivery of the sites Emergency Management Improvement Programme (EMIP).
Sellafield Ltd is a Nuclear Management Partners company operated under contract to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and is responsible for safely delivering decommissioning, reprocessing and nuclear waste management.
The contract awarded to Serco covers the supply of Emergency Management (EM) Professionals (EM Planners, EM Trainers, EM Training Developers and Technical Advisors (Safety Case, Chemical and Radiological) to strengthen the existing emergency management arrangements already in place at Sellafield.
The contract is in the shape of a three-year Framework Agreement with an option to extend by a further twelve months to a maximum of four years duration and is worth in the region of £16 million. Serco is the prime contractor with Berwicks Consulting and the National Nuclear Laboratories (NNL) also providing sub-contractor support.
At the height of the contract as many as 40 EM professionals could be deployed at any one time on a temporary basis, which with the exception of the London Olympics probably makes it the biggest ever UK resilience programme .
A small team of 6 Serco staff has been on site since the end of May 2013 and this will grow to the region of 20 by the beginning of August. To service the contract Serco will draw upon permanent and associate staff from the Emergency Planning College (EPC); Serco Consulting; permanent and associate staff from Berwicks Consulting (who specialise in EM command and control arrangements across the nuclear sector) and NNL (who will provide the specialist technical, chemical and radiological input). As the contract develops it is envisaged that staff from the Serco-owned International Fire Training Centre (IFTC) at Teeside will also be brought into the Programme.
In addition to EPC Director who is fulfilling the role of Contract Director, the contract will be supported by a full time contract manager, office manager and finance manager.

Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) and Charley White (Kevin Costner) are free grazers who see their cattle stolen by a group of men in cahoots with a nearby town's sheriff. They're law-abiding men, which means they don't take kindly to those who cheat at cards, not to mention anyone who'd kill an innocent pooch (yes, there's a reason why Charley's dog gets so much screen time). Like Bob Ross, Costner knows how to evoke the wholesome, untainted splendor of a spacious sky and purple-mountain-majesty, but there's plenty of dead screen time between the film's misty opening sequence and the riveting shootout that brings a town together in democratic uplift. Despite Costner's best efforts, Open Range is nowhere near as philosophically or aesthetically elaborate as Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. Because Costner so successfully uses the torrents of nature to evoke Charley's many emotional ups and downs, the film is repeatedly compromised when he has his character launch into contrived self-pity. With Open Range, Duvall continues to prove why he's the greatest living actor of our time. As the overly practical Spearman, Duvall is supposed to play second fiddle to Costner's tortured lone ranger. But while Costner plays his ex-gunslinger's murderous guilt for woe-is-me pathos, Duvall allows the whip of his undervalued character's matter-of-fact outbursts to evoke a lifetime of unspoken hurt. Open Range succeeds despite the constant attention to Charley's inner melodramas (made even more burdensome by the Michael Kamen score) because Costner's anachronistic mindset (to score a good woman and lay down some roots) is so perfectly in tune with the mentality of the time he's trying to summon. It also helps that Costner doesn't allow the hurt inflicted against his oppressed free grazers to approach the wearisome political correctness of his Dances with Wolves.
