On Religious Organizations and Dissidents: Definately suspect
Uploaded on March 22, 2006 by Skip The Budgie on flickr
I am thrilled to come across a blog by J.A. Mclean, scholar of Baha'i theology. We have a neat book of essays by him on our shelf downstairs. Since I started blogging, I've thought those essays in blog form would be a natural fit. This post takes on the subject of religious dissidents and ex-Baha'is, noting as part of his discussion the following. -gw
People, generally, do not object to organized government, to an organized judiciary, to organized political parties, to organized education, to organized medicine, clubs, associations and societies. But except for official members, the religious "organization" in a secular age has become definitely suspect. And for good reason. ...

Identity theft can be devastating, but there are simple things you can do to catch it early and
prevent it altogether. Actions as easy as checking your credit score and bank statements on a
regular basis and using antivirus software on your computer can keep your identity safe.
One other major component to protecting yourself is shredding important documents. Any
document with your signature, account numbers, or social security number can make you
vulnerable. Any documents with your health information on them can also fall prey to identity
theft. During tax season, tax documents can also expose your personal information. Shredding
these documents is key to ensuring that you won't be a target for identity theft.
Shredding is good practice not only for individuals but also for businesses. According to the
Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, or FACTA, businesses must protect the identities of
their customers by disposing of their information in safe ways. Businesses are also responsible
for protecting the identities of their employees by protecting their tax documentation. Utilizing a
shredding and storage company ensures that these files are properly disposed of and takes the
burden off of you and your company.
To protect yourself, your customers, or your employees, check out this list of documents that
should be shredded:
- ATM receipts
- Bank statements
- Credit card statements
- Pre-approved credit card offers
- Credit reports and histories
- Cancelled checks
- Pay stubs
- Tax forms
- Medical and dental records
- Insurance forms
- Old bills
- Expired credit cards, passports, or driver's licenses / IDs
- Any documents with your signature
- Any documents with your name, email addresses, or addresses

Six Oakland County school districts and one charter school have received waivers from the state to begin classes before Labor Day, part of a record number of Michigan schools that want to bypass the state's ban on going back early.
But local parents need not worry that their relaxed summer schedules are about to be cut short. Some of the school districts that asked for and received waivers don't intend to use them this year.
Others are bringing children back to school early for a variety of reasons.
Statewide, at least 99 public school districts and charter schools, along with 24 intermediate school districts, received waivers from the Michigan Department of Education that release them from a 17-year-old requirement to begin school after the holiday.
That requirement was designed to give the state's tourism industry a late summer boost by keeping families' schedules free for the Labor Day weekend.
The state began issuing waivers in 2006 to side-step that law. Even with a waiver, schools have to give students the day off from school on the Friday before Labor Day, as well as the holiday itself.
A bill is pending in the state Legislature to allow schools to resume classes before Labor Day without obtaining a waiver.
A number of districts statewide are requesting waivers to align their calendars with colleges, an indication of the growth of programs that offer high school students the opportunity to pursue college credits before graduation.
One Oakland County school requested the waiver because it intends to go to a year-round or balanced calendar as a way of increasing knowledge retention and academic performance in its students.
Year-round schools generally are in session for the same number of days as traditional schools, but have a shorter summer break and have more breaks throughout the school year.
The Frederick Douglass International Academy, a charter school in Oak Park, will resume Aug. 14. The school has offered tutoring, field trips and other activities to keep its nearly 200 students plugged in to learning all summer.
The school for preschool through eighth grade intends to monitor students' grasp of concepts through the year, and the more frequent breaks will allow it to offer opportunities to catch up via tutoring for students who are falling behind.
"We thought this was a better fit for our students," said Sarah Peters, human resources and compliance director. "We thought this was more beneficial, rather than waiting until summer to try to catch up."
Here's a roundup of the other Oakland schools that received waivers and their plans for the 2017-18 school year.
• Clarkston Community Schools: Clarkston students at all grade levels are returning to school before Labor Day. In its application for a waiver, district officials cited a desire to align the calendar for students enrolled in a post-secondary or early college program.
• Lake Orion Community Schools: Lake Orion applied for the waiver to accommodate one year-round elementary school. The year-round calendar was later eliminated at that school.
• Madison District Public Schools: All students are returning to school before Labor Day, the district operates on a balanced calendar.
• Oak Park School District: This district is returning to school at all grade levels before Labor Day.
• Oxford Community Schools: This district is resuming school at all grade levels before Labor Day; its waiver application cited aligning the calendar with a post-secondary or early college program.
• Troy School District: With the exception of the International Academy East, the district's students are not returning to school before the holiday.

HAGERSTOWN -- Wedding gowns, tennis rackets and a guitar signed by country music star Martina McBride were among the items that were up for bid Saturday during Habitat for Humanity of Washington County's 16th annual dinner auction.
Sherry Brown Cooper, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Washington County, said 450 people paid $45 each to attend the event, which was at Hagerstown Community College's Athletic, Recreation and Community Center.
Officials said they hoped to raise $70,000.
"That can build a house," Brown Cooper said. "This is our largest fundraising event of the year ... It raises a lot of money."
This year's theme was "Home, Home on the Range with Habitat."
Some of the attendees drifted into the spirit of things by wearing cowboy boots and 10-gallon hats as they dined on marinated beef brisket and chicken marsala.

About Summer Squash
A summer squash (Cucurbita pepo) is an annual plant that trails for several feet and forms a compact plant of three feet (90 cm) spread. Summer squash fruit have a cylindrical shape about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. They may be trailing or bushy with green, yellow, white or striped skin. Summer squash are best grown during warmer seasons with ideal temperatures between 64 and 81 degrees F (18 to 27 degrees C).
Site Preparations
Sow when the soil temperature is at least 59 degrees F (15 degrees C). Prepare holes at least 12 inches (30 cm) wide and deep, working in plenty of well-rotted compost or manure as you backfill. Cover with about 6 inches (15 cm) of manured soil made into small mounds to ensure sharp drainage.
Special Features
Summer squash is generally insect-pollinated; however, during colder seasons, if fruits are not setting, it may be necessary to hand pollinate. The female flower has a tiny bump (the embryonic fruit) behind the petals that the male flower lacks making it easy to distinguish between them.
Choosing a Variety
Custard squash have flat and flute-edged fruits, whereas crookneck squash have swollen fruits with a characteristic bent neck. There are also round-fruited cultivars. Spaghetti squash are squash-like in shape but with hard skins; it is so named because when they are cooked the flesh resembles that of spaghetti. The recommended summer squash are Butterstick, Clarimore, Golden Crookneck, Magda, Papaya Pear, Peter Pan, Scallopini, Seneca Prolific, Starship, Sunburst, Sundance and Spaghetti squash, such as Orangetti Pasta and Vegetable Spaghetti.
Place each seed about an inch (2.5 cm) deep. Sow in their natural environment after the frost has passed. You can also germinate the seeds indoors in small pots. Space bush types 3 feet (90 cm) apart and trailing types 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 2 m) apart. Protect young plants with cloches or floating row covers in cool areas. In hot areas, floating row covers can be used to protect against insects. Apply mulch after planting.
Grow trailing types up supporting fences, nets or stakes or allow them to twine up strings. The shoots may be trained in circles, using bent wires to peg down the stems. Toward the end of the growing season, nip off the ends of the shoots. As fruiting continues, fertilize plants every two weeks with a high potassium fertilizer or equivalent organic fertilizer. Water plants regularly during the growing period, especially after transplanting, so that plants establish quickly. Watering is also essential during flowering and fruiting to ensure healthy fruit formation. Watch out for pests and diseases. Slugs may attack in early stages; squash vine borers, cucumber mosaic virus, spotted cucumber beetles and striped cucumber beetles have been known to cause problems.
Harvesting and Storage
The best time to harvest summer squash is seven to eight weeks after planting. Some varieties may be stored for a few weeks if they are kept in a well ventilated area about 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) with high humidity. Spaghetti squash may be stored longer, up to several months in similar environment. Harvest shoots from the top 6 inches (15 cm) of the stem. From there, new growth will appear. If you are harvesting flowers, pick the male ones after the females have set.

Wagirra Trail follows the Murray River, downstream from Norieul Park to Horseshoe Lagoon, providing an excellent riverside venue, with a connection path that links Wagirra with the Wonga Wetlands.
After an early morning start from Wangaratta (to beat the heat) the five of us started off from Albury's Norieul Park (named after a WWI battle site in France).
We checked out the Hovell Tree Memorial, as well as other story boards in the area, and then headed downstream, with many members of the local populace to accompany us.
The walking was easy, with only a couple of small rises to tackle, and we made good time, with morning tea being held alongside the mighty Murray (which was running at a very fast pace).
Continuing downstream, we tackled the new bridges that lead to the Wetlands, as well as taking time out to admire the superb Wiradjuri sculptures, and their excellent explanatory signage, that are a part of the Yindyamurra Sculpture Trail.
Having made good time, we had lunch near the picnic area at the Wetlands, and then completed a 2.5km loop around some of the wetlands,
Birdlife was excellent amongst the Wetlands, and we particularly enjoyed watching a convoy of seven swans follow us around the blandly named Lagoon 7.
Our return to Norieul Park was via a slightly different route, feeling the effects of the afternoon sun, and therefore very grateful for all of those wonderful redgums.
Apart from all this exertion, and interest, we also managed to retrieve four shopping bags worth of litter from the sides of the Trail, most of it drink containers.
The traditional afternoon tea routine was suspended, and (with permission from Pat) we all adjourned to the River Deck Cafe for an iced coffee.

Bedtime. It's the time of day adults think is a reward and kids think is a punishment. Bedtime stories have long been seen as one of the ways to get kids to calm down and allow rest to overtake them. Here are two books written specifically as bedtime stories.
Book: Close Your Eyes So You Can See by Michael Card, Illustrated by Stephen Marchesi, Harvest House Publishers, 1996
Genre: Picture Book
Target Audience: Boys and Girls 4+
Subjects: Imagination, Bible Stories
Summary: "Close your eyes so you can see…" starts off all ten stories in this picture book. It then gives a setting and characters for children to imagine. Then it goes into a gentle story about some child interacting with Jesus. They are all fictional stories but based around something from the Gospels. It includes the stories of: Jesus at the temple as a young boy, Jarius' daughter, the disciples' argument about who is the greatest, the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus blessing the children, Jesus healing the little boy in John 4, Jesus comparing the people to children singing a dirge, Palm Sunday, Peter's denial of Jesus and Peter's miraculous escape from prison in Acts.
Notes: Each story is short – no more than 4 pages. There's 1 picture per story so you can show children the picture, then let them close their eyes as you tell the story. It encourages them to use their imaginations. It can even be a devotional book with the Scripture reference listed at the beginning and a couple of discussion questions at the end. I highly recommend this book!
Spiritual Content Recommendation Scale: 5/5
Reviewer: J:-)mi
Book: Time For Bed, Sleepyhead by Daniel G. Amen, Illustrated by Gail Yerrill, Zonderkiz, 2016
Genre: Picture Book
Target Audience: Boys and Girls 3-8
Subjects: Imagination
Summary: The narrator of this story is a polar bear reading to their cub as it goes to bed. The cub doesn't want to go to sleep so the mom explains how the brain has to rest to get rid of the trash in it so it will be ready for the next day. She then tells a story about a bunch of animal friends having a day at the beach. At multiple points through their day the characters rest and relax. At the end of their day they are so tired they can't even keep their eyes open or talk without yawning. This is supposed to make the polar bear cub relax as well.
Notes: This book is all about psychology. The author is a renowned psychiatrist and wrote the book specifically to use scientific techniques to help children relax. It has very cute pictures and can be read in a calm tone of voice to help put children to sleep and it encourages them to use their imagination to picture what might be happening with the characters. However it has absolutely no spiritual element whatsoever. It doesn't claim to. It is nothing more than a cute scientific technique to make children fall asleep.
Spiritual Content Recommendation Scale: 0/5
Reviewer: J:-)mi
Psalm 127:2 – In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Thank you to Zondervan for providing me with a free review copy of Time For Bed, Sleepyhead. All opinions are my own.

Dating for single parent Totally free sex dating sites in usa
Realize that you're not just forming a relationship; you're creating a family.
The choice to be with the dating partner or children generally means the other is left waiting … Even before dating, single parents begin a series of conversations with their children that ask, "What if I began dating? " Periodically, they engage the conversation again and again: "What if Sara and I began dating regularly?
and wondering how their relationship with you is being influenced by your relationship with the other. " "What if John's kids came over every Friday through the summer? " Each dialogue is both assessment (How are my kids feeling about these possibilities and realities?
In addition, children commonly feel some insecurity by mom or dad's relationship with another person. ) and intervention as it prepares them for what might happen.
Wise singles recognize this important dynamic and don't assume that becoming a couple necessarily means that they can become a family. Parents who begin dating quickly after the end of a relationship (whether by death or divorce) or who reach a quick decision to marry after a brief dating period often find their children more resistant to the marriage. Smart singles take a good long look in the mirror before dating. Smart single parents don't let their children's emotions dictate their dating progress, but they do listen and give serious consideration to how the children are feeling (becoming a couple is up to you; whether you become a family is up to them). Teens and adult children need to move toward your dating partner at their own pace.
The kids are engaged, at least on some level, even when you don't think they are.
And everyone has strong emotions and opinions about who is involved and what the outcome might be. Here are a number of dating "best practices" for single parents: 1.
They attend to both and take time assessing how the potential stepfamily relationships are developing. This sabotages the ability of a stepparent and stepchild to get off on the right foot with one another and puts the family at risk. They examine their motivations for dating, fears (e.g., their children not having a father), loneliness, and unresolved hurt (e.g., after divorce). Engage in these conversations throughout your dating experience, especially in anticipation of each stage of a developing relationship. If you make it your agenda to get them to accept your partner and relationship, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. Early on your kids may meet your date, but the first few dates should primarily be about the two of you.
Instead, make opportunities for them to get to know each other, but don't force it. At first reference your date as "a friend" or if your kids are prepared, call them your "date." Casual introductions are fine when you start dating someone, but don't proactively put your kids and the person together until you are pretty sure there are real possibilities for the relationship.
Thankfully, with Elite Singles your chances of meeting a committed, like-minded US single have never been better – register with our dating agency today to boost your luck in love!Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

Re: Thomas Comerford Templemore to Aust
brenda henry 4/20/10
Hi Brenda,
This is all a bit intrigueing and I have been looking for details of my ggg grandfather Patrick Mulhall Comerford for a while and know that his father was William Comerfordwho was a farmer and (Patrick was born in Queens County) and mother Mary Mulhall, brother Richard Marum Comerford. I was googling and put in Richard Marum Comerford and came up with a website that has these two being part of Thomas Comerford's family. I suspect that Mary Mulhall died and Patrick remarried as there is 18 years between the birth of Richard and Denis Comerford. The website is www.heinrich.id.au but if you type Richard Marum Comerford into google you will probably find it as well. Like you, I have not been able to more information about either Patrick Mulhall Comerford or his father William. My Patrick died in 1890 at Mt Harris. His siblings were (according to this website) Denis b1836, Thomas (b 1838), Mary (b 1845. I don't know about the validity of the website but they too have nothing going back any further than Tipperary.Anyway, try Talbot as the surname in your investigations. Hope that helps.

Pasta Fazool
Here's a vegan dish that the kids would eat - pasta fazool. There are many recipes. The one I chose uses canned beans and mostly ingredients that you can keep on the shelf. It's a recipe that you can vary to fit what you have around.
One tip: leave out the pepper, a frequent turnoff for my kids at least. You can easily add pepper at the table from the pepper shaker - easy peasy.
It goes well with some Italian bread, or even cornbread.

Abstract: :
Purpose: To report the clinical characteristics, management, and outcome of melanocytoma of the iris and ciliary body. Methods: Retrospective case series. Results: The mean patient age was 34 years and 44 (83%) were Caucasian. Of 54 patients, 39 (72%) had iris melanocytoma and 15 (28%) ciliary body melanocytoma. The most common symptom was spot on iris in 11 patients (21%) and 21 patients (40%) were asymptomatic. Visual acuity was better than 20/40 in 48 patients (91%) and 5 patients (9%) had increased intraocular pressure (>21 mmHg). Of 39 patients with iris melanocytoma, the lesion was black in 38 patients (97%), nodular shaped in 34 (87%), associated with ectropion uvea in 4 (10%), stromal seeds in 21 (54%) and anterior chamber angle seeds in 17 patients (44%). Of 15 patients with ciliary body melanocytoma, the lesion was black in 15 patients (100%), dome shaped in 15 (100%), associated with anterior chamber angle seeds in 5 (33%)and anterior chamber involvement in 9 patients (60%). Ultrasonography showed acoustic solidity in 16 of 17 patients (94%). The treatment was observation in 28 patients (52%), excisional biopsy in 22 (41%) and enucleation in 4 (7%). At a mean follow-up of 43 months, visual acuity decreased in 11 patients (20%) and growth was observed in 11 patients (20%). Eleven patients were found to have foci of melanoma within melanocytoma on pathology. Conclusions: Melanocytoma of the iris and ciliary body is rare and can evolve into malignat melanoma.

There is a tiny problem here - if per thread info is used and a servlet forgets to pop(), all other servelets in the same thread will be screwed. That makes abstracting this feature very important - to allow the container to cleanup the context after each servlet ( there are other things that the container need to be able to do for separation ). >>Regarding no-op - it may be better to try to provide a 'default' >>or baseline implementation, if possible ( even if the behavior will >>be inefficient ).

Well, I'm not sure what's the exact behavior - but creating a NDC stack per thread and adding the context before calling jdk1.4 logging doesn't seem to complicated. I'm sure the native implementation is better, but the workaround seems plausible. Ceki - any proposal for the API ? What about a new interface with the method you mentioned ( we can't use static - since we need to support multiple implementations ) ? Then add a method to get the implementation for each supported logger ( that would be in LogFactory ). -- Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com>

1. Nick Commands available
2. Channel commands
Nick is equivalent to NickServ to other networks. It is our network will be Nick.
Nick allows you to have a nickname and prevent others from using it.
The following commands allow maintenance of nicknames; to use them, type /msg Nick command.
For more information on a specific command, type /msg Nick HELP command.
/msg Nick AJOIN [ADD|DEL|LIST] {nickname} channel {key}
This command manages your auto join list. When you identify you will automatically join the channels on your auto join list. Services Operators may provide a nick to modify other users' auto join lists.
/msg Nick ALIST [level]
Lists all channels you have access on.
Optionally, you can specify a level in XOP or ACCESS format.
The resulting list will only include channels where you have the given level of access.
Lists all channels where you have Founder access.
/msg Nick ALIST Founder
Lists all channels where you have AOP access or greater.
/msg Nick ALIST AOP
Lists all channels where you have level 10 access or greater.
/msg Nick ALIST 10
/msg Nick ACCESS [ADD|DEL|LIST] {user@host}
Modifies or displays the access list for your nick. This is the list of addresses which will be automatically recognized by Nick as allowed to use the nick. If you want to use the nick from a different address, you need to send an IDENTIFY command to make Nick recognize you.
Allows access to user anyone from any machine in the bepeg.com domain.
/msg Nick ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com
Reverses the previous command.
/msg Nick ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com
Displays the current access list.
/msg Nick ACCESS LIST
/msg Nick IDENTIFY {password}
Tells Nick that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.
/msg Nick UPDATE
Updates your current status, i.e. it checks for new memos, sets needed chanmodes (ModeonID) and updates your vhost and your userflags (lastseentime, etc).
/msg Nick INFO nickname [ALL]
Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last seen address and time, and nick options. If you are identified for the nick you're getting information for and ALL is specified, you will be shown all the information; regardless of whether it's hidden or not.
/msg Nick list pattern
Lists all registered nicknames which match the given pattern, in nick!user@host format. Nicks with the PRIVATE option set will not be displayed. Note that a pattern preceding with a '#' specifies a range.
Lists all nicks owned by email@example.com.
LIST *!email@example.com
Lists all registered nicks with Bot in their names (case insensitive).
LIST *Bot*!*@*
Lists all nicks owned by users in the bar.org domain.
LIST *!*@*.bar.org
Lists nicks numbers 50-100.
/msg Nick LOGOUT
This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself.
msg Nick RECOVER nickname [password]
Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that Nick does automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected nick.
When you give this command, Nick will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will remain online for Nick to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after that time, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command (/msg Nick HELP RELEASE) to get the nick back sooner.
In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
/msg Nick SET option parameters
Sets various nickname options. option can be one of:
/msg Nick STATUS {nick}
Returns whether the user using the given nickname is recognized as the owner of the nickname. The response has this format:
nickname status-code
where nickname is the nickname sent with the command, and status-code is one of the following:
Up to sixteen nicknames may be sent with each command; the rest will be ignored. If no nickname is given, your status will be returned.
/msg Nick SET LANGUAGE {language}
Set language to services:
/msg NiCK SET LANGUAGE en_US
This example set language to english, you can see help with :
/msg nick help set language
Chan is equivalent to ChanServ to other networks. It is our network will be Chan.

Character arc
Heratio is a member of one of the most powerful Fae families that ever lived. In ancient civilizations, he was worshiped by humans as the goddess "Hera."
He is a gender bender: possessing the body of a human male and referred to as "father" of Iris — but also called himself "Hera."
When Heratio took over the body of Kevin Brown, he didn't kill him. The soul of Kevin is still alive within its former body.
- Bo: Niece.
- Hades: Brother.
- Iris / Nyx: Daughter.
- Persephone: Stepdaughter. (Daughter of Demeter and Zee/Zeus.)
- Zee: Wife. Sister. (In mythology, Hera and Zeus are both siblings and spouses.)
- "This damn human body. I'll be back for yours." – to Alicia Welles (Here Comes the Night)
- Hera is the wife and one of three sisters of Zeus in the Olympian pantheon of Greek mythology and religion. Her chief function was as the goddess of women and marriage. Her counterpart in the religion of ancient Rome was Juno. The cow, lion and the peacock were considered sacred to her. Her mother is Rhea and her father Cronus. Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature against Zeus's lovers and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her, such as Pelias. Paris also earned Hera's hatred by choosing Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess. Hera may have been the first to whom the Greeks dedicated an enclosed roofed temple sanctuary, at Samos about 800 BCE. It was replaced later by the Heraion, one of the largest Greek temples anywhere (Greek altars were in front of the temples, under the open sky). In the Temple of Hera at Olympia, Hera's seated cult figure was older than the warrior figure of Zeus that accompanied it. There has been considerable scholarship about the possibility that Hera, whose early importance in Greek religion is firmly established, was originally the goddess of a matriarchal people, presumably inhabiting Greece before the Hellenes.[1]
- Hera's character, as described by Homer, is not of a very amiable kind, and its main features are jealousy, obstinacy, and a quarrelling disposition, which sometimes makes her own husband tremble. Hence there arise frequent disputes between Hera and Zeus; and on one occasion Hera, in conjunction with Poseidon and Athena, contemplated putting Zeus into chains. Zeus, in such cases, not only threatens, but beats her; and once he even hung her up in the clouds, her hands chained, and with two anvils suspended from her feet. Hence she is frightened by his threats, and gives way when he is angry; and when she is unable to gain her ends in any other way, she has recourse to cunning and intrigues. Thus she borrowed from Aphrodite the girdle, the giver of charm and fascination, to excite the love of Zeus. By Zeus she was the mother of Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus. Properly speaking, Hera was the only really married goddess among the Olympians, for the marriage of Aphrodite with Ares can scarcely be taken into consideration; and hence she is the goddess of marriage and of the birth of children.[2]

Ngh, I can't deny that. The fact remains they didn't go the obvious tactic. Either it is random, or they have another plan in mind.
What complicates matters is when you consider Day One actions. Beatrix is unmistakably Town, but we didn't know that at the time. Had I been awake, Beatrix would have been one of the more likely targets for my vote, it was pretty much 50/50. I didn't vote in the end, and Beatrix flipped Town. What's annoying is that Beatrix's actions seemed dodgy (if not outright scummy) at the time. In Day One, 'dodgy' is enough for a lynch. Thus she got lynched. Trying to figure out the Mafia amongst the well-meaning Town members is made more difficult given the 'reasonableness' of the vote.
As Beatrix herself said: why not Kuja? In that same vein one could argue, why not Beatrix? It makes sensing the actions behind the lynch harder to discern. One could point at Quina breaking the deadlock, but that was only to save themselves, which is an understandable response, which doesn't flip Town or Mafia.

My View
• Upcoming elections
• Cahava Springs subdivision
• Lawsuits
Happy New Year!
If all goes well there will be an election in May or August to unwind the lynching of our town manager and the return of independent thinkers rather than a slate driven council and mayor.
I got this Plato quote from Arch McGill; it is pertinent to Cave Creek's looming dilemma:
"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." – Plato
So we are asking the voting public to examine the candidates and make decisions which will benefit the town. Although their local readership is low, the Arizona Republic is against recalls and can't be trusted to encourage a voter turn out in Cave Creek. Furthermore, their reporter, Phil Haldiman has lunch with Interim Town Manager Rodney Glassman with Glassman footing the bill, which means taxpayers are paying for such lunches while Sonoran News is limited by public records. Haldiman has been on the side of the slate and Adam Trenk.
It will be an expensive lesson when the court proceedings finish, both to defend against Usama's Abujbarah's claims and to pay his court ordered award. The wide and deep investigations of the slate's communications with each other should be devastating to their chances to stay in office. Although they have five days to resign I doubt their handlers will allow them to.
The sheer chicanery of an ASU professor to start a PAC against Ernie Bunch and Thomas McGuire is expected of a libtard. V. Kerry Smith is his name and while he doesn't seem to be popular with his students, as a taxpayer, I resent that he is knocking down $246,000 each year (that is as of 2008, we haven't yet received his current salary). Much of that inflated salary is our tax dollars.
Students ranked Smith's ability as a teacher and on a scale of 0 to 5, Smith garnered 1.8 for overall quality, 1.6 for helpfulness, 2.0 for clarity and 1.2 for easiness. And we are paying at least $246,000 for lousy teaching? There were five students who provided their opinion of Smith:
On March 4, 2010 one wrote, "He is a funny guy and without a doubt very intelligent, but I don't like his teaching method. It is hard to understand what he wants, and I feel like I have not learned much; he is very confusing. Classmates agree that this is possibly the worst class you may ever take."
On March 5, 2013 another wrote, "Very funny guy and super smart, but a horrible teacher. He once told the class that teaching is the least important thing he does. And it shows."
On March 6, 2013 yet another wrote, "He is an experienced professor in his field, but he can't teach."
On May 20, 2013 another student stated, "He has a good personality and he cares. But he is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Also, the material is very tough. And he makes it ten times harder."
On Dec. 23, 2013 another wrote, "He is an incredibly smart guy, and from what he told the class has had quite the career. He makes material challenging, but doable if you are willing to truly pay attention and come to class. Not the greatest teacher, but he cares about the subject and is pretty funny. If you're interested in the subject this class will be rewarding an (sic) manageable."
Four out of five students gave Smith exceedingly low marks. You have to wonder whether management at ASU reads these comments and does something about his lack of ability to teach, in a teaching institution. The comments seem to support his transfer to comedy, or improv, not economics.
It will be interesting to see how he conducts his PAC. But it is clear he is like the Trenkster in attitude. Trenkster, probably illegally, fired the best town manager the town ever had. Smith is going after Ernie Bunch and Thomas McGuire vindictively since they have been high performance council members. Note he didn't go after Mayor Vincent Francia since he is one of them.
Cahava Springs development
I saw some men tagging vegetation on the private road I share with one other family and talked to Mark Stapp who manages the Cahava Springs properties. The .6 mile easement I travel on is mostly on Cahava Springs property. It is pleasing that the subdivision he plans on the property to the south of me is progressing. He has tried to assemble neighbors to give them a truthful discussion of what the sub division will be. For one thing, I hope he will dispel the nasty rumor floated by at least one Morning Star Road citizen threatening there will be, "an avalanche of automobiles from Anthem surging across Cave Creek." It simply can't happen and vehicular traffic is blocked from the west.
Also I am delighted that the appeals court has ruled in my favor in a suit brought by Gerald Freeman. In that case he tried to essentially take away an ingress/egress easement across my property for his sole use. Much has been made by slate supporters that I gifted the property under my easement to Cave Creek and because it was in the court the Cave Creek council voted 4-3 to give it back. I said at the time, it won't be available for free again. I won in the lower court and was awarded attorney fees and also will be awarded attorney fees for the appeals victory. Had the council kept it they would now own the property at no cost from me and the award of attorney fees means there would have been no cost to them.
The temporary restraining order brought by Freeman against the horse trail that would connect across Cave Creek will be in mediation this January and if that fails the case will be heard in February. A few prayers for our horse friendly citizens and the town code would be appreciated.

China Mobile
Days after signing a deal with Dell
Fools might remember HTC as the company that beat Apple
And that's important. Apple and Research In Motion
What's more, HTC's handsets are arguably the gold standard of all that rely on the Android operating system. The Big G gave out 4,000 HTC smartphones during this year's I/O developer conference. Dell also plans to use Android for its mini3i.
So let's review:
- China Mobile is lining up deals for Android smartphones.
- Increasingly, these deals are with big-name suppliers and Apple rivals.
Anyone else wondering who at Apple insulted China Mobile chairman Wang Jianzhou when the two companies were negotiating in 2007?
Regardless, there's mounting evidence that these two are preparing to clash. The Wall Street Journal this morning reported that Apple is nearing a deal to distribute the iPhone via China Unicom
The winds of a very cold war are whipping across China's green smartphone fields. Get a coat, investors. This battle could take a while.

I read an interesting blog today about the safe cycling campaign, spearheaded by The Times.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to add to the points raised by the author. In his argument, the author raises the cost of cycling per person in the Netherlands (£25) and what The Times is arguing for (£1.94).
The Netherlands, whilst having a far superior cycle network to England, has a considerably smaller population – 16,612,213 in 2010, compared to 62,218,761.
As a relative cost on the same scale of The Netherlands in the UK, there would be a cost of £6.67 per person or £415 million.

Canada Goose Trillium parka $525, Rag & Bone Combat Wedge $505, ASOS AVA Suede Lace Up Wedge Boot $115, D&G Dolce & Gabbana Women's Wedge Bootie $510
I'm on the search for a Canada Goose parka in the city. I saw a boy on campus wearing a grey one during the fall, and just fell in love with its simple design and almost industrial look. They've been catching my eye since, especially while I was in Montreal and Vancouver. Looks like something someone would wear on an arctic expedition. I will probably buy online but I want to try one on first. Its a coat thats built to last and perfect for freezing Edmonton winters. As well as classically stylish season after season. Does anyone know where they sell these parkas for women in Edmonton?
Splurge Parka
I am also on the search for a wedge bootie. I crave the comfort of a wedge. Inspiration taken from these three
Moose Knuckles $790

More studies are showing that inhaling second hand cigarette smoke is causing as much or more damage to those exposed as to those who are doing the smoking. Not only are people more likely to develop a headache, respiratory irritation and the like, but now there are those who are actually developing a second hand cigarette smoke allergy. Waitresses, bartenders, etc. are leaving their livelihood to get some relief from the symptoms of their secondary smoke allergy.
These allergies to smoke can be reduced dramatically with the proper installation of effective smoke removal machines. The machines have to be designed with the basic understanding of smoke and its properties. Smoke has two parts or phases to it. One is the Gas Phase, the other is the Particulate Phase. Below you will find a list of the components that are directly related to tobacco smoke allergies. All of these components are found in cigarette smoke. Notice that many of them are actually poison. The human bodies response to this poison is what causes symptoms of secondary smoke allergy, then eventually develops into tobacco smoke allergies.

THE UNITED STATES Country wide Playground Service becomes 100 today, Aug. 25. To commemorate the milestone, one of the oldest & most important museums of picture taking is hosting a sensational show in its honor.
"Photography and America's Country wide Parks" is open up through Oct at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. The show honors the United Claims' vast assortment of open public lands and monuments, from Yosemite and Yellowstone to the Lincoln Memorial, and even New York's Stonewall Inn. As curator Jamie M. Allen decribes it, "this exhibition . . . illuminates the annals of the very most significant nationwide parks through lush surroundings images."
The exhibition requires a wide go through the parks background, including basic images as an Ansel Adams vista alongside more funny images, such as a Willie Osterman photography of a mechanized tram filled with camera clad visitors moving up a hill. Images like these display the progression of the parks from the anonymous frontiers of the united states to the popular landmarks they can be today. But most importantly the selection was created to inspire visitors to look at countrywide landscape in the same way Teddy Roosevelt once do, a century previously: "It had been like lying down in a great solemn cathedral, way vaster and even more beautiful than any built by the tactile palm of man."

Ground Sloth
The last ice age was filled with strange animals, from the enormous (think mammoths) to the unusual (think saber-toothed cats). However, one of the most bizarre animals from the Pleistocene epoch was the ground sloth. A combination of enormous and unusual, these colossal, furry animals are related to modern sloths, armadillos, and anteaters. However, they were very unlike the slow-moving tree sloths of today. Instead, some ground sloths could be as large as elephants! For example, the species found around this area, the Harlan's ground sloth (Paramylodon harlani, sometimes called Glossotherium harlani), stood about 10 feet (three meters) tall when upright and weighed over a ton (about 2,200-2,400 pounds or 1000-1090 kilograms)!
Sheer size was not the only strange part of a ground sloth's appearance. These giants were bulky, with short necks, powerful chests, and massive jaws. They had three claws per hand, which they could use for digging, grabbing, or defending themselves. Under their coat of coarse, brown hair, they had small, nickel-sized, bony plates embedded in their skin. These so-called dermal ossicles probably served as protective armor, similar to armadillos today. The ground sloth's strange appearance may be related to the fact that ground sloths originated in South America, before the continent was connected to North America by way of Panama. This geographic isolation may have contributed to this unusual appearance and helps explain why ground sloths are so unlike other North American animals.
Once ground sloths reached North America, new species of sloth quickly evolved, like the Harlan's ground sloth mentioned previously. The Harlan's ground sloth lived throughout North America, in what is now the United States and Central America. A herbivore that fed on grasses, shrubs, and flowering plants, it used its stout snout and keen nose to sniff for food. It lived in open-grassland habitats and fed mostly on grass. Not a desert dweller, the Harlan's ground sloth stuck to areas with permanent water sources, like rivers and lakes.
This affinity for water sources may be what brought Harlan's ground sloths to White Sands. During the Pleistocene epoch, the Tularosa Basin where White Sands sits today was much wetter. A giant lake called Lake Otero filled the area, providing a water source that attracted many Pleistocene animals, including Harlan's ground sloths. These sloths left evidence that they were here, such as the kidney-bean shaped, fossilized footprints. As ground sloths walked, their back feet twisted inwards, giving them a slow, almost waddle-like walk and these strangely-shaped footprints. On top of that, when sloths walked, their large, hind foot covered the tracks from the smaller front foot, causing the tracks to appear bipedal. These tracks looked as if they were made by something walking on two legs, so some ground sloth tracks in the past were mistaken for tracks of a giant human!
Today, the only things left from ground sloths are their confusing tracks and any other fossils they have left behind. What happened to these strange, fuzzy giants? Like many other ancient ice age mammals, they went extinct towards the end of the Pleistocene epoch, about 12,000 years ago. Scientists are not sure of the exact reasons why, but it may have been due to climate change, human involvement, or possibly both. Whatever the reason, the fact is that ground sloths perished from Earth thousands of years ago, leaving behind only fossilized bones, dung, tracks, and their much smaller relatives, the tree sloths.

I am a Non-Filipino who attended the 2014 HOLD Conference in Perth, Western Australia during October 2014. What a truly wonderful experience. I was accepted and felt as one with the Group the whole time. We had amazing Speakers who were well informed and passionate about their talks. I came away with a new insight on my personal relationship with our Lord and how I can further improve to establish a better intimate relationship with God. Furthermore, I was given important questions to reflect and meditate on even after the conference.
The Sharers were inspiring and left me feeling blessed and privileged with their stories of endurance and moral courage. Despite of the storms they have faced and still facing, they hold on to their faith and believe in God's healing. They looked all at peace, although two are cancer survivors and a lady who travelled with us was blind.
It was not just prayers and reflections. Each evening we had fun. Each area that attended put on a Presentation with costumes and dancing. Everyone young and old blended together irrespective of age, race and the states they came from.
This was a totally different experience for me. I have learned to start eating Filipino dishes and once in a while have to remind my sisters to speak English when they get carried away in our conversations. Just the same I look forward to more conferences and household meetings! I am truly happy to be God's beloved and to be chosen and called a member of the CFC-HOLD community.

The Redesigned $100 Note
Businesses and consumers will see their money move in a whole new way now that the $100 note has been redesigned. The redesigned $100 note will begin circulating on October 8, 2013, and has two new security features: a blue 3-D Security Ribbon and a color-shifting Bell in the Inkwell.
You can't miss the blue 3-D Security Ribbon on the front of the redesigned $100 note. The ribbon seems to be three-dimensional with bells and numeral 100s appearing to float or glide above the ribbon as you move the note. If you tilt the note back and forth, the bells and 100s move side to side. If you tile it side to side, they move up and down.
A second new security feature on the redesigned $100 note, also on the front of the note, is the Bell in the Inkwell. At first, the bell blends with the inkwell because they are the same copper color, but when you tilt the note, the bell changes color to green. This color shift makes the bell seem to appear and disappear within the inkwell.
In addition to these new security features, the government also retained three highly effective security features from the old $100 note design, including:
- Portrait Watermark – Hold the note to light to see a faint image of Benjamin Franklin in the blank space to the right of the large portrait. It is visible from either side of the note.
- Security Thread – Hold the note to light to see an embedded thread that runs vertically to the left of the portrait. The letters USA and the numeral 100 appear in an alternating pattern and can be seen from both sides of the note. The thread glows pink when illuminated by ultraviolet light.
- Color-Shifting 100 – Tilt the note to see the numeral 100 in the lower right corner of the front of the note change from copper to green.
An animated tutorial of the advanced security and design features in the redesigned $100 note is available at http://www.newmoney.gov/.
Loss Prevention
Law enforcement officials warn that counterfeiters look for opportunities to take advantage of uninformed businesses and consumers when a new currency design is issued. They are encouraging everyone who handles cash to know the security features of the redesigned $100 note before it begins circulating. Any business or consumer that accepts a counterfeit note will suffer a financial loss because fakes cannot be traded in for real notes.
How to Prepare
Because cash handlers are the front line of defense in the fight against counterfeiting, the U.S. Currency Education Program has developed a number of training materials and resources to help them easily identify possible counterfeit notes before they accept them. The training materials can be downloaded or ordered on www.newmoney.gov. They illustrate how to detect a counterfeit note quickly and easily. A range of materials are available, including brochures to hand out to employees, posters to display in break rooms, and interactive training tools.
What To Do If You Suspect a Fake
If you suspect you've been passed a counterfeit note, the U.S. Secret Service wants you to be aware of a few tips. First, try to note the characteristics of the person who tried to pass the fake note and any companions. If possible, write down a description of any vehicle he or she drove as well as the license plate number.
Next, immediately contact your local police department or U.S. Secret Service field office. These contact numbers can be found in U.S. telephone books or on the law enforcement interactive map on www.newmoney.gov. Finally, make sure that you write your initials and the date in the border of the suspect note. Remember to limit the handling of the note and protect it by putting it in an envelope. Only turn the note over to a police officer or a U.S. Secret Service agent. If the note is genuine, it will be returned to you. If the note is counterfeit, you will not be reimbursed. You cannot trade in a counterfeit note for a real one, and it is against the law to knowingly try to pass a counterfeit along to someone else.

What you need to consider before taking a sabbatical
So, you want a break from work…
Maybe it's enrolling for a pastry course in France. Or hiking the mountains of Nepal. It could even be working on a project right here in Singapore. Whatever the scenario, you probably have an idea of what you would do if you took some time off work. But the question is: could you really make it happen?
Many professionals rarely go on holiday, much less take a sabbatical. And even when they do, they've usually been working for quite some time. So here are few things to consider if you're thinking of taking one.
1. Know what it is
A sabbatical is an extended break from your job, so very much like a long vacation. It typically lasts between two months and a year and you're expected to return to your job after.
On the other hand, a career break involves quitting your job and doing something completely different.
2. Know your reasons
People usually take a sabbatical or embark on a career break for professional or personal reasons. If it's professional, they feel burned out and want to re-energise or expand their skillset via study. If it's personal, they want to focus more on the other areas of their lives or spend time with family.
If you've been feeling weary on the job, ask yourself if a vacation will help. Make the getaway longer if you have to, but if you think you'll return feeling better, you probably don't need to be considering an extended break.
If you're seeking self-development, it's a good idea to pinpoint exactly what you wish to do so you can justify it to your boss when the time comes. Whether it's volunteering or pursuing passions, it's helpful if they could understand how it would not only benefit you, but also the company in the long run (for example: new skills that you could contribute).
"While on the sabbatical, the employee has an opportunity to explore new ideas, travel… work on a special project, take care of family needs, and much more. It broadens perspective and makes personal and professional priorities clearer," says Nancy Bearg, co-author of the book Reboot Your Life: Energizing Your Career and Life By Taking A Break.
3. Know your company
However, you've also got to figure out your odds of having a sabbatical approved.
First, find out if your company has a sabbatical policy and if so, what its guidelines are. Sabbaticals are typically only granted to people who've been in service for a certain period time, so find out if there's a minimum number of years you should have worked. The norm for big corporations is one year for every seven years with the company.
If there's a policy in place but you've yet to hit the minimum number of years, it might be best to wait it out. If there isn't a sabbatical policy, you could talk to HR and find out if colleagues have done something similar.
However, it's easy to be "out of sight, out of mind", and if you vanish for too long without first establishing your position at your workplace, it could lead to job suicide. No one is indispensable, so you've got to weigh your options and see if job security or personal satisfaction matters more to you. Even if technically your position should be there when you return, this isn't always the case.
Should you decide to talk to your boss, go in well-prepared with a strong case, including a list of accomplishments at your company, which can help justify your leave of absence. You should be able to explain clearly why you want to take a break, what you'll be doing and how you propose your workload could be divided while you're gone.
Be prepared to negotiate the duration and also offer to keep in touch. Much as you don't want to be thinking about work while enjoying your me-time, being contactable or even doing some work occasionally will give your company more reason to say yes.
4. Know your limits
If you're in your 20s or don't have a mortgage to pay for, you probably don't have many liabilities and will be able to give your full attention to whatever activity you've committed to.
The downside is that you may not have the financial resources to sustain a long break. Whether you're planning to travel or study, you've got to budget very carefully and factor in expenses and regular payments like phone and insurance bills.
Ultimately, it's essential that your break should be worry-free (if not, what's the point). Whether it's about still having a job when you get back, or being able to fully finance your sabbatical; make sure you have a plan before you get started.
