Friday night I stayed in. I guess the week was a little too much for me. I ate delicious food and watched TV and went to sleep, all rested up to run my million errands the next day.
Saturday night Jess and I went out. As usual, we stayed too long in her apartment drinking and taking silly pictures of ourselves (and looking at MY blog). At midnight, we were shocked to be rejected from Bar Martignetti, where Jess hoped to find yet another one of those gorgeous preppy boys they keep on the shelves there.
The one bouncer Jess was friends with said he would get us in but then this another owner-looking fellow came out. Another couple had just approached, and he looked up and down at the guy before saying, "nuh-uh. not in those jeans." The guy was wearing medium-wash jeans. I thought that was kind of hilarious so 'private parties' be damned.
Made the rounds to Gatsby's, Sweet and Vicious (always too crowded), the place across the street from Sweet and Vicious (that I really like and we got to go in when other people were being rejected).
We went to Shark Lounge, where some random guy started talking to Jess. I was kind of bored, so I made her not reject him :) . Turns out they worked in sales/account team for some internet companies (I think Microsoft for one). Since I work with Sales Reps all the time I got really excited and made them answer all these questions about commission structure. We had just made a budget cut at work and some people got really grumpy with us and others not at all, so I was wondering about their commissions.
Turns out often 60% of salary is guaranteed, 40% is if you meet your quota, then you can go above that. Other times, you work with base salary + straight commission (7%). These are two examples.
Meanwhile, we went to Firefly Lounge, which Jess had previously refused to go since they are right below their apartment and frequently play loud music. They bought us more drinks and the guy was effing BALLROOM dancing with me, doing dips (which I had never done before but according to Mr. Twinkle Toes I was quite the dipper). It was so bizarre. Someone must have had a party there with glow stick necklaces, so we put them on our head hipster-style. We finished off the night by finally ditching those guys and going over to Gatsby's for last call.
I hopped on the 6, caught it IMMEDIATELY! (a miracle at 4am). The L was not going to happen (I checked) so I walked home from Union Square. It snowed lightly.
At home I did a little Raid Parade to kill all those nocturnal bugs that crawl out of our kitchen drain (I was kind of giggly and drunk and felt like I was playing a video game)
Sunday? Did I do anything? I think I went grocery shopping and went to PinkBerry. I bought a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store, among other half baked ideas. I am a terrible grocery shopper, I buy everything that's on sale.

"27 And you shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and that I [am] Jehovah your God, and [there is] no other. And My people shall not be ashamed forever. 28 ¶ And it shall be afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions. 29 And also I will pour out My Spirit on the slaves and on the slave girls in those days." (Joe 2:27-29)
Today many women and liberals, leftists and pusillanimous men soaked in democracy for wanting to promote women to ministry (in line with the tenets of democracy and its daughter, feminism) are clutching at straws claiming that Joel 2:28-29 and Galatians 3:28 are actually promoting women to ministry, even to the pulpit. Even though the words of Joel are echoed in Act 2:16 by Peter they cannot mean that; for the prohibition to women in ministry is clearly expressed by Paul in other Epistles written AFTER these verses were penned. Especially the same can be said for Gal 3:28; for that was written by Paul and Paul being inspired cannot have a split mind saying one thing here and negating the same there: "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." (1Ti 2:12)
Let us not escape from reason, please, for if Paul had a split mind, then every single Epistle of his would need to be eradicated from the Bible as unreliable and not inspired by God.
It is interesting to note the dates of these statements. It is estimated that Joel was written between the 7th and the 5th century BC. The dating of the epistle to the Galatians by Paul is around 48-49 AD. The other epistles of Paul where he states the prohibitions of women to the ministry are: 1 Corinthians around 55 AD, 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus around 63 AD. The book of Acts, although written at a later date, as a sequel to Luke, in it when Peter makes the reference to Joel at the beginning of Christianity, it is about 34 AD. We can see from this that the books or events explicitly excluding women from ministry were of a late date thus confirming the status of functions between men and women unchanged as it was since the beginning, as specified by God.
Moreover, let us not be lost in the concept of "Priesthood of all Believers" to be used as justification to put women on the pulpit. Let us look at those verses:
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9-10)
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:6)
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:10)
These verses, we are told by the modernists, support women to the pulpit ministry because, they say, women are partakers to the priesthood of all believers. But, practically the same words were used in the Old Testament where women did not partake to the priesthood.
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. (Exodus 19:5-6)
But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. (Isaiah 61:6)
The words used by Peter and John are incredibly similar as to those of the OT and no one can prove that in the OT women were called to the "priesthood" of any type.
The context of the meaning is that God in the OT called to Himself the Jews to be His peculiar people in order to demonstrate the Kingdom of God on the earth. The NT takes on the same theme in the sense that, in Christ Jesus, all believers (and not only the Jews) are a chosen generation (the elect) to demonstrate the Kingdom of God on the earth on the same basis of the OT (i.e. demonstrating the Kingdom of God by their godly behavior) with the only exception, that now the High Priest is Jesus Himself. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. (Hebrews 4:14)
Is in this a change of roles between man and woman, or even the abrogation of the God ordained functions between the two? Methinks, in no way.
It is important to remember and to understand what the Lord says in His Holy Word about His character: For I am the LORD, I change not; ................ (Malachi 3:6)
Now looking at Joel 2:28-29 we must comprehend that the phrase "Upon all flesh will I pour out my Spirit;" does not apply to "ALL" people indiscriminately, for many are unbelievers and without this gift. So there is a qualification already there. There is no doubt, therefore, but that this, which is said of "all flesh," must be limited to the saint of the Church. "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh" are those whose hearts have been made tender as flesh by the Spirit in accordance to Eze 36:26-27, for the Spirit must be given first to make the heart such. 'All flesh' frequently signifies (see Isa 40:5) that all sorts of men, Jews and Gentiles, men of all nations, women, slaves, rich or poor, and such there were on the day of Pentecost, Act 2:16, when the Spirit was poured down upon the Apostles, and the grace of the Spirit was given to many of all nations "even as many as the LORD our God shall call". Though that was only the beginning of the fulfillment of this prophecy, which quickly had a further accomplishment in the Gentile world; and denotes the abundance of the gifts of the Spirit, both extraordinary and ordinary, and of his grace, and the blessings of it, bestowed on all that the Spirit called to Himself. The pouring of the Holy Ghost in greater measure was ushered and fulfilled by Christ (Joh 7:38-39) and displayed in Acts.
"and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy" Much is made by the feminists of these words that to them they mean the obliteration of the different functions between men and women as they have existed since the beginning. Please do note that Joel said, "prophesy" not that these will be Prophets or have a functional position in the Church. To prophesy simply means to be a "mouthpiece from the Lord" and the Lord can even use a donkey to prophecy (Num 22:28) but more, even stones, as Jesus said: "And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." (Luke 19:40) Also much is made of the four virgin daughters of Philip, but only this can be said about them: first of all they lived in their father's home, and of what they purportedly said, nothing is reported. Whilst of what Agabus (the prophet) said, all is reported in details, Act 21:10-11. If anything can be construed it is only on Agabus. Moreover, to note that Paul remained many days at Philip's place to wait for Agabus, but in all this time, nothing is recorded of what these girls said (if anything was said), nor Paul seems to have taken act of it.
Moreover, to be noted, that everyone of these prophetesses were under the authority of the man: Miriam under Moses, Deborah and Huldah under their husbands, the daughters of Philip under their father, Anna under the High priest, and the female donkey of Balaam (that prophesied) under her owner. To construe that this verse destroys the established order of functions between men is forcing a meaning in this verse that is not there, in fact it changed nothing (as far as functions) in Joel's time nor in Acts as amply testify by Paul as Scripture. In Biblical terms all women have to be under the authority of the man as reiterated in the NT: unmarried women under the father (1Co 7:36-37), married women under their own husband (Eph 5:22-24) and both under the general command (1Co 11:3).
The meaning of the verse is that in the latter days the Spirit would be given in greater measure on all the elect than before and manifestation thereof would be larger. Having nothing to do with changing the Biblically prescribed functions of men and women.
"16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Act 2:16-21)
From verse16 to 19 we see Peter repeating Joel's verses, prophesying what will occur both shortly in Jerusalem and at the end of times (we are close to them). Verses 19, 20, 21 teach that in prospect of the judgments of God; which are to come, we should make preparation. We shall be called to pass through the closing scene of this earth; the time when the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, and when the great day of the Lord shall come. Teaching also that it is easy to be saved. All that God requires of us is to call upon Him, to pray to Him, to ask Him, and he will answer and save. If men will not do so easy a thing as to call on God, and ask Him for salvation, it is obviously proper that they should be cast off. The terms of salvation could not be made plainer or easier. The offer is wide, free, universal, and there is no obstacle but what exists in the heart of the sinner.
Peter was teaching that revivals of religion are to be expected as a part of the history of the Christian church, for he speaks of God's pouring out his Spirit, etc., as what was to take place in the last days, i.e. in the indefinite and large tract of time which was to come under the administration of the Messiah. His remarks are by no means limited to the day of Pentecost. They are as applicable to future periods as to that time; and we are to expect it as a part of Christian history, that the Holy Spirit will be sent down to awaken and convert men.
"And it shall come to pass" Even at that time, when these signs shall appear, and the destruction is hastening on, that "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved"; e. g. shall believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with the heart, and shall confess Him with the mouth, and shall worship Him in Spirit and in truth, and submit to all His ordinances and commands; for invocation of the Lord includes the whole of worship internal and external, shall be saved; or delivered from that temporal destruction which came upon the Jews, as the Christians were by removing from Jerusalem to Pella, as they were directed and shall be saved also with a spiritual and everlasting salvation by Jesus Christ.
The most important use of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit is to bring men to salvation by faith. These words "call on" signify those who have received the Holy Ghost and have faith in The Holy Scripture and will earnestly be praying and craving for help from God's hand.
So, we see that all this great outpouring of the Spirit in the "latter days" is not intended to put women on the pulpit in the twentieth century (unbiblical feministic invention) but has a far larger purpose, that of bringing humans to repentance of their sins and to call upon the Lord Jesus Christ that they may be forgiven and saved and thus escaping the terrible vengeance of God that is about to befall on the earth. (Joe 2:30-32)

Getting Started With Running
Running is an excellent way to get and stay in shape. Many people who are just starting an exercise routine turn to running because it doesn't require much equipment to get started and has many benefits. You can burn up to 100 calories per mile, build muscle and raise your metabolism so that you keep burning calories even after you're done running. It's an aerobic exercise, so it reduces your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. It also causes your body to produce endorphins that can ease symptoms of depression.
Ease Into It
When you start a running program, it's great to be excited about your new exercise routine, but you've also got to be smart. If you haven't run since you were on the playground in elementary school, start off with brisk walking for a week or two.
Once you've gotten your muscles used to exercise again, you can start incorporating segments of jogging into your walking routine. You can begin with short segments of jogging for 30 seconds alternated with walking for one to two minutes.
Increase your pace gradually. Lengthen the amount of time you're running while shortening the amount of time you're walking. It might take a while, but eventually your body will adjust to the routine and you will be running.
If you have joint problems or just need a low-impact way to get started, consider starting with an aquatic treadmill or using an exercise pool. An aquatic treadmill works just like a regular manual treadmill but is placed under the water in an in-ground or above-ground pool. The water provides resistance and also supports your joints, giving you a low-impact workout. The same principle applies to using an exercise pool. You can walk or run in the pool while the water cushions your joints. Incorporating water into your exercise plan is a great way to ease into a running routine and also prevent injuries as you add miles.
You'll hear the saying, "No pain, no gain," frequently when you start exercising. There's some truth to it. You can expect some sore muscles as you begin moving them in ways they're not accustomed to. This muscle pain should be a dull ache, however, not a sharp or agonizing pain.
If you get sharp pains, you need to back off of your running routine for a few days. Treat your pain with R.I.C.E.:
- Rest. Take a few days off, or at least replace running with walking for a short time.
- Ice. Ice the painful area for no more than 20 minutes every two hours.
- Compression. Wrap the painful area with a compression bandage to reduce swelling. Do not, however, wrap it so tightly that the area feels tingly, numb or has a change in color.
- Elevation. By raising the painful area above the level of your heart, you can minimize swelling.
If the pain continues or gets worse, seek medical treatment.
Choose the Right Gear
One way to minimize the risk of injury is to choose the right running gear. Although running doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment, you should invest in a few items of running gear as soon as you can.
The most important gear you can get is a good pair of running shoes. Make sure the shoes you choose are designed for running, not tennis or aerobics. Each sport has different needs and the shoes for the sport are constructed to meet those needs. A good running shoe is light-weight and cushions the heels and toes.
Other gear that might be useful includes light-weight running clothes, running socks designed to reduce blisters and a waterproof watch so that you can keep track of your running time.
Eat Healthy
Your body needs nourishment to run well for any length of time. Don't try to run on an empty stomach: try a light snack with protein and carbohydrates 30-45 minutes before your run. A banana with peanut butter or whole wheat crackers and hummus are excellent pre-run choices.
Adding protein to your diet to help build muscles and carbohydrates for energy can also help your running routine. Of course, not all proteins and carbs are created the same. Lean meats such as fish or chicken and plant proteins such as beans and nuts will give you the most benefits with the least number of unhealthy calories. Likewise, whole grains, fruits and vegetables are carbs that provide more nutrition than processed breads and sweets. Another important health consideration when you're taking up running is hydration. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Don't Give Up
As important as good gear and a healthy diet are, your determination is going to be the key factor in how successful you are at becoming a runner. If you develop a routine and follow it consistently, you'll experience success. Just stick to it and don't give up, and before long could find yourself running that marathon.

April 28 - A successful bid from Madrid for the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics could help revive the economy of Spain, which even a senior Government Minister admits is facing "a crisis of enormous magnitude", London 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe has claimed.
"The Games can revive a struggling economy like Spain's," Coe said in an interview with Efe, the Spanish-language news agency.
"The economic and emotional benefits are huge."
But doubts continue to grow over how Spain could afford to host the Games after official figures showed that unemployment has jumped to 24.4 per cent in the first quarter of 2012 - the highest rate in the 17-country Eurozone - from 22.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of last year.
The data show that another 365,900 people lost their jobs in the first three months of the year, taking the total unemployed to 5.6 million.
The rate for people under 25 year is now 52 per cent, up from 48.5 percent in the previous quarter.
"The figures are terrible for everyone and terrible for the Government," said Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo.
"Spain is in a crisis of enormous magnitude."
The total figure for people unemployed increased by 729,400 compared to the first quarter of 2011.
The National Statistics Institute said Spain now has 1.7 million households in which no one has work.
The figures were another blow to the conservative Government after Standard & Poor's (S&P) became the first of the three leading credit rating agencies to strip Spain of an A rating.
It cited a worsening budget deficit, worries over the banking system and poor economic prospects for its decision to reduce the rating by two notches from A to BBB+.
S&P even warned that a further downgrade is possible as it left its outlook assessment on Spain at "negative".
Spain, the Eurozone's fourth-largest economy, is just now just three notches above so-called junk status.
But Coe claimed the Olympics could help revive Spain's fortunes.
"Some £7 billion (£11.4 billion/€8.5 billion) have been invested in London in the last few years through contracts that have gone to British companies, this at a time when both the UK and global economies have been hit by the economic crisis," the two-time Olympic 1500 metres champion told Efe.
"The construction of the Olympic Park [in Stratford, East London] has generated 40,000 direct and indirect jobs.
"Many companies all over the UK have benefitted from these contracts and have created new employment opportunities.
"At a time when there's not a lot of optimism around and the world is seen as a complex place, the Olympic Games give people something they can enjoy and get involved in."
Coe has long been close to Spanish officials, being a personal favourite of Juan Antonio Samaranch, the late President of the International Olympic Committee.
Indeed, in 2003, he was approached by Madrid to work on their bid for 2012 before he was given an official role by London but turned the down offer.
Spain's economy situation is far worse than that faced by Italy, whose Government refused to back a proposed bid from Rome 2020, but Coe insisted that Madrid was right to continue with its campaign, where they are facing rivals Baku, Doha, Istanbul and Tokyo,
"It wouldn't be right for me to get involved in Spanish politics, but it's good that the Olympic budget has been left untouched at what is a very tough time for the world economy, when the public sector and companies are going through difficult times and the Government is making some tough decisions," he said.
Britain's own economic situation is far from stable with the country officially entering into a "double dip" recession this week.
But Coe (pictured with Theresa Zabell, the chief executive of international relations for Madrid 2020) claimed that things could be even worse if it were not for London 2012.
"Back in 2005, when the venue for this summer's Olympics was chosen, none of us knew the importance of these Games," he said.
"In creating so many jobs and so much activity in an economy that's in the doldrums, you're performing a service to society.
"If you look at the investment in East London, you'll see that the area has been regenerated with new stadiums that weren't there before, and with new infrastructures etc.
"I see it as an investment in the community, and that community will reap the benefits for many years to come.
"In London we now have 750,000 more teenagers playing sport, a figure you just wouldn't have seen before we started bidding for the Olympics.
"I don't see it as a way of making or losing money.
"I honestly don't.
"There financial returns are huge, but there's an incredible emotional legacy too."

Branding malarkey at the Portland housing bureau
We lamented a while back that the City of Portland was spending mucho consultant dinero trying to generate a "brand" for its public housing for the poor. Well, who knows how much they spent, but they've come up with a sexy new name for the housing authority. Henceforth it will be called "Housing Forward."
Isn't that special?
UPDATE AND CORRECTION, 2:04 p.m.: City Commissioner Nick Fish responds that the city did not pay for this rebranding, and that the Housing Authority of Portland is not a city bureau. Fascinating, and we regret our error. But that begs a couple of additional questions that we'll have to work on: Just what is the Housing Authority of Portland, and what ever became of the actual housing bureau's "strategic planning" effort?

Ellen DeGeneres and actor-musician Harry Connick Jr. are both from New Orleans, and Saturday they returned to their hometown to mark the graduation of Tulane University's "Katrina Class," students displaced by the hurricane in 2005, reports the AP.
"Look at you," Ellen told the 2,000 or so graduates at the Louisiana Superdome. "Usually when you're wearing a robe at 10 in the morning it means you've given up."
Harry spoke briefly after receiving an honorary degree for his work in the city's recovery.
"You are my heroes," he told the graduates.
Tulane President Scott Cowen presented Ellen with the Tulane University President's Medal for her work to raise money and awareness for New Orleans after Katrina.

SAN FRANCISCO — Each year, millions of mice are genetically engineered to develop tumors that precisely mimic human cancers -- a technology that could lead to the swift development of new and targeted treatments.
But many researchers complain that progress is being slowed by commerce.
That's because DuPont Co. lays broad intellectual property claims to drug discoveries made with just about any animal genetically engineered to be prone to just about any cancer.
DuPont claims the terms are typical of such arrangements between industry and academia and aren't particularly onerous. But many researchers and university patent officials allege that DuPont charges high fees, sets strict conditions and aggressively polices its broad rights, often to the detriment of science.
Critics of such intellectual property deals between industry and schools fear medical advances will be hamstrung as companies gain control of patents not just of animals but also individual human genes and other biological functions.

Small Boats and Long Journeys
By Tom Neale, 10/7/2004
Tom Neale's logs have a new name and home on BoatUS Magazine. We know Tom has a loyal and devoted readership, so we wanted to share his tips and insights with an even bigger audience! For the latest articles, click here for Onboard With Tom Neale.
Before the day ended, we'd counted 11 water spouts, some very large. That morning we'd made a long run down the island chain, in the Mako. We had needed to pick up some freight that had come in on the mail boat, and then get fuel and groceries. The day really began to go to hell around half way back. The sea ahead was invisible. The islands were invisible. All were behind a solid wall of rain, wind and spray blowing from wave tops. But we needed fuel and had to make the island harbor ahead. Besides, despite our confidence in a good boat, we knew we'd feel a bit better on solid land. Heading straight for the wall of flying water, we also knew we were going to get a lot wetter. I turned to my friend Herman who was calmly smoking his pipe behind the center console wind shield.
"Herm, why don't you have foul weather gear on this fine yacht of yours?"
Herm looked ahead, looked up at me, took a draw on his pipe and said tranquilly, "Well Tom, we're not wet yet?" We were soon.
Obviously, we survived. I'm writing to you today, and that was years ago.
I took many other trips in that Mako, with family, friends, and Herman and Helen. Helen and Herm, (we called them Tutu and Grandpa) had traveled all over the world and owned large yachts. Finally they'd found their perfect place and settled on an island in the Bahamas. They were in their late 70's. Tutu loved to cook and hike and make cookies for our young daughters, Melanie and Carolyn. Herm loved to fish and to be on the water. When luck was down he'd toss a sacrificial pinch of pipe tobacco over the side. He called the token "Goomasak." We visited the island each winter on the 47 foot Gulfstar, Chez Nous, which was our home. The Mako was the island boat, named after their earlier yacht Tranquillizer, with the name painted in that fashion on each quarter. She did wonderful things for us. She took us to church, to the village, to shopping, to bring fuel for the island's generators, to go diving, and to go fishing. We were an out island family, and the Mako connected us to the world around us.
Waterspout Tips Water spouts can occur over most waters where people regularly cruise. They can be extremely dangerous. Here are a few of the things that you can do to improve your chances of not getting hurt. 1. Understand that water spouts may occur even in "nice" weather. 2. If a cool high pressure system (usually behind a cold front) has recently moved over warm water, spouts may develop from a few innocent looking clouds even though the day is crisp and clear.
This year a friend decided to sell his old 20 foot Mako, vintage 1985. She's about the same length and year as the island Mako. I'd already spent several weeks with her, 5 or 6 years earlier, exploring most of the lower Chesapeake Bay for a guide book I was researching. Mel and I couldn't really afford to buy her, much less to feed her Yamaha, but sometimes you feel that a boat is a part of you, no matter what the cynics say about differences between person and property. She was ragged, and that's putting it kindly. But like most lovers of boats who aren't rich, I've spent many an hour over many a year working on them. We turned her back into the fine lady she was in 1985—well, maybe she needs a little cosmetic surgery, but we don't care about that. It's her guts that are great again.
Waterspout Tips
Water spouts can occur over most waters where people regularly cruise. They can be extremely dangerous. Here are a few of the things that you can do to improve your chances of not getting hurt.
1. Understand that water spouts may occur even in "nice" weather.
2. If a cool high pressure system (usually behind a cold front) has recently moved over warm water, spouts may develop from a few innocent looking clouds even though the day is crisp and clear.
We called Tutu and told her. We asked her permission to name our boat after the old Tranquillizer. She said, "Yes," and we shared a few moments of sweet sad memory. Mel painted the name on each transom, as well as the little South Pacific Island tranquillizer god, rubbing his tummy with one hand and beating his head with another. That guy had flown on a burgee over all of Tutu's and Grandpa's boats.
Our daughters, Melanie and Carolyn, are now away in school. A few weeks ago, Melanie visited us for a wonderful week. Unfortunately breaks between summer jobs and semester beginnings don't always coincide, and Carolyn couldn't come back to Chez Nous and the new Tranquillizer. But that time will come too. During that week we tied Tranquillizer alongside Chez Nous so that each day we could hop aboard and run, fish, and play. And yes, like all old boats, we had to spend about a day working on the motor. Seems some expensive mechanic in days past had put a Mercury thermostat in that Yamaha.
The last day of Melanie's visit, Mel, Melanie and I got aboard, with Melanie's beagle, Stella, and took off down island. This time it was in the Chesapeake Bay, in an area that, in my view, is every bit as pretty as the Bahamas. We headed for an island that I'd first seen almost 50 years ago, on a trip in one of my 18 foot skiffs. Very few people came there then. Very few even knew about it.
Around 23 years ago, we had first taken Melanie there, as a 2 year old. By then we were living on Chez Nous. We had anchored off and gone the last half mile in another small boat, our dinghy. Melanie had run joyously along the beach, on her first uninhabited isolated "tropical" island. But now she, as did we, walked a little more sedately, as Stella scampered outrageously, sending hundreds of sea gulls screaming and wheeling skyward. At day's end we headed home, up island, back to Chez Nous. We felt the old familiar confidence from the powerful thrust of a big outboard. We appreciated the ride as the boat handled the ocean swell which was dying in its final journey as it crossed the Bay from around Cape Charles. The swell had no reef to break on, only gentle sandy shoals to spread out upon. There were no "water spouty" clouds; the day was crisp and beautiful. But we all sensed deja-vu. It was overwhelming, unspoken and pleasant.
Some seem to think that you must have grand yachts to go on grand voyages. This isn't true. You don't need a big boat to take long journeys through the waters—or through time.

One industry that believes it has found a great use for social media is the debt collection industry. Many debt collectors find social networks extremely helpful for obtaining crucial information such as debtor's home and work locations, lifestyle expenditures, lists of friends and family, determining whether a debtor has the financial wherewithal to make payments on a defaulted debt, and as a result, whether a debtor is worth the expense of suing in court. Debt collectors also find social networks useful in communicating with debtors in a manner that may be more effective than mail or telephone. Unfortunately for collectors, social networks have their drawbacks - drawbacks that can lead to legal action, regulatory criticism and reputational harm.
Nearly 35 years ago Congress passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act of 1977 ("FDCPA") (15 U.S.C. §§ 1692-1692p). The FDCPA was passed by Congress in response to certain questionable and unethical tactics used by debt collectors. Prior to the passing of the FDCPA it was not uncommon to have debt collectors disclose to the friends and family of delinquent borrowers, the delinquent status of a loan. Other unethical tactics included making threatening, misleading and other statements to debtors with the intent of forcing repayment. The FDCPA was essentially enacted to protect consumers from the harassment, both verbal and psychological, that frequently accompanied collection efforts. While the FDCPA generally defines debt collectors as agents/contractors engaged to collect debts on behalf of others, this article assumes debt collectors to be agents/contractors as well as the owners of the debt such as banks, finance companies and investors because, while the federal FDCPA narrowly defines debt collectors, many state collection laws that mirror the federal FDCPA define debt collectors as anyone that collects a debt.
The FDCPA was passed by Congress seven years before Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was born. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey was one year old and MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson was seven years old when the FDCPA was put into place. As such, today's social media explosion could not have been anticipated by the framers of the FDCPA. Many experts in the debt collection field believe that due to the FDCPA's age the law requires a revision to specifically address social media. According to these experts, debt collectors are operating in a "no man's land" - the equivalent of the Wild West. These experts believe that without social media-specific guidance, the debt collection industry is at risk of extensive litigation brought by private parties and class action plaintiffs' attorneys.
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the federal agency with authority to enforce the FDCPA, has not indicated that it will revise the FDCPA any time soon. Instead, the FTC has stated that the consumer protections included in the FDCPA are sufficient to protect consumers and that the FDCPA addresses all forms of communications, including communications initiated through social networks and other social media. According the the FTC, the FDCPA includes sufficient guidance to prevent harassment of debtors and improper communication.
As such, the FTC disagrees with debt collection experts that are calling for an amendment to the FDCPA relative to social media. As demonstrated below, it appears that debt collector's challenges relative to social media appear to be due to a lack of understanding of the FDCPA or blatant disregard for the Act.
In August 2010, Florida resident Melanie Beacham sued debt collection agency MarkOne Financial LLC after the debt collector used Facebook to allegedly harass the consumer who was delinquent on an auto loan. According to the lawsuit, in addition to aggressively using traditional collection methods, the debt collector also used Facebook's messaging function to contact the delinquent borrower as well as to contact her relatives to ask that they have her contact the collection agency. According to the lawsuit, MarkOne Financial LLC used Facebook to intentionally harass the debtor in an "outrageous format."
The debtor, who fell behind on her loan payment during a medical leave from her job, stated that she was shocked when she learned that the debt collectors used Facebook to track down her whereabouts and contact her family. The debtor claimed significant embarrassment related to the disclosure of her bad debt to her family.
In April 2011, while the lawsuit remained pending, W. Douglas Baird, the Judge hearing the complaint, ordered MarkOne Financial LLC to cease the use of social networks for the purpose of contacting the debtor and the debtor's family and friends. The order, considered groundbreaking by many in the field of debt collection, shows how social media is increasingly becoming the basis for lawsuits. The challenge to debt collectors that use social networks is not so much federal and state collections laws do not address the use of social media. Instead, the challenge is one of compliance and training.
While social media is widely used, many users, including debt collectors, do not fully understand the functionality and impact of many social media features. As in the example above, debt collectors may locate a debtor on Facebook (or any other social network) and may make use of the "Send Message" function provided. This feature allows the sender to send a confidential message to the recipient similar to an email. As this feature requires little effort on the part of the debt collector, it is possible to abuse this feature by repeatedly sending messages to the debtor - an act that may violate § 1692d of the FDCPA, which defines harassment or abuse as "any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt." As such, in order to avoid a violation of § 1692d, debt collectors should observe their firm's FDCPA policy relative to phone calls and treat social network messages as a similar communication when using the messaging feature on a social network.
In addition to sending messages to the debtor, it is possible for debt collectors to send messages to the friends and family members of the debtor that are part of the debtor's social circle. This functionality allows debt collectors to contact third parties for assistance in obtaining information about the debtor, a permissible act according to § 1692b of the FDCPA. However, debt collectors using the messaging function to contact friends and family of the debtor must comply with the FDCPA. As such, any communication with friends and family through a social network requires the following of the debt collector:
(1) Identify himself, state that he is confirming or correcting location information concerning the consumer, and, only if expressly requested, identify his employer;
(2) Not state that such consumer owes any debt;
(3) Not communicate with any such person more than once unless requested to do so by such person or unless the debt collector reasonably believes that the earlier response of such person is erroneous or incomplete and that such person now has correct or complete location information;
(4) Not communicate by post card. In the case of social media, this should also include not posting any messages on the "Wall" of the debtor or the debtor's friends and family. A postcard has the effect of openly disclosing a debt. A "Wall" posting is a digital equivalent;
(5) Not use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt. While a social network message is not physical mail, it is the equivalent of electronic mail. As such, the debt collector should ensure that any message fully complies with this requirement; and,
(6) After the debt collector knows the consumer is represented by an attorney with regard to the subject debt and has knowledge of, or can readily ascertain, such attorney's name and address, not communicate with any person other than that attorney, unless the attorney fails to respond within a reasonable period of time to the communication from the debt collector.
Debt collectors must ensure that their use of social media and social networks conforms to the spirit and intent of the FDCPA. Based upon the general language of the FDCPA, acts of noncompliance are generally the result of inadequate training or blatant disregard for the FDCPA - not shortcomings in the FDCPA language.

Since his arrival at the rehabilitation centre, Paolo's condition had improved steadily. The wounds on his left and right legs healed well and his weight increased from 2.77 kg to 3.87 kg thanks largely to his four carers who give him his morning and evening milk!
Once he was feeling better Paolo became increasingly active. He started to do a lot of climbing and his grip became much stronger. There were also the first signs of his lower incisor teeth coming through.
Then one night Paolo clearly had a fever. The next day his blood was sent to the lab and the results came back positive for malaria. So Paolo has been put on anti-malaria treatment. Hopefully he will make a speedy recovery so that he can get back to his climbing antics! Reports on his general physical and mental development are good: he is already brave enough to dangle on a rope and is generally an active little orangutan with a calm, easygoing personality.

Baking sourdough bread in a casserole dish
Posted on 22. Nov, 2015 by virtuousbread.
I frequently make no-knead, crusty artisan bread. In fact, it's so popular I bake it at least once a week and, but for the lack of more (extraordinarily expensive) cast iron casserole dishes, I would bake more at a time. The other day, I was proofing two 100% wheat sourdough loaves in bannetons. It was taking […]

Soaking things in water before cooking and baking with them is an oddly important tradition for many people in many parts of the world. Certainly, in Germany, where my mother is from, you would never get seeds or grains in bread that had not been soaked first. I do know know why it is not […]

Should I eat lard?
Posted on 04. Nov, 2015 by virtuousbread.
Those who know me know I am a huge fan of lard. Lard is 40% saturated fat to butter's 50%. So if you eat butter you really should also be eating lard with a certain amount of gay abandon, unless you have a religious reason not to, of course, or if you are a […]

How to "postion=replace" a Form or Tree View, Menuitem ?
Hello everyone,
I want to list all the product template colums (39 columns I see in pgadmin) in the Product template Form view. Adding position="replace" for fields does not work for me since I want to see all the colums.
I want to know how I can replace the existing menuitem,action and views with the new items I created. Also, how can I inject new menuitem,action and views. Below is my XML content.
<record id="product_vape_form_view" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">product.vape.form.view</field>
<field name="model">product.template</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">

<field name="model">product.template</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<tree >
<field name="name" />
<field name="create_date"/>

<record id="action_product_vape_tree_view" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">All Products</field>
<field name="res_model">product.template</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="product_vape_tree_view"/>
<menuitem id="vape.product" action="action_product_vape_tree_view" name="All Vape Products" parent="base.menu_product" />
Ruben, aside from <record> tag, there is also <delete> tag. Both works if you specify the XML ID (id) and model of the said attribute. So, having said that:
- You can delete a record by adding <delete id="the_xml_id_of_record_to_delete" model="the_model_to_delete/> somewhere in your XML
- You can update a record by adding <record id = "the_xml_id_of_record_to_change" model="the_model_to_change"> ... </record>, where ... is the new content (list of fields and their values) of the record. It will update the fields listed in the content.
- If the record is created by other module you can specify the "full" XML ID: module_name.the_xml_id_of_record_to_change
- Note that generally it is not advisible to change or delete a view as the view may be inherited by other modules. It is better to inherit a view instead.
- To tie in a view to an action, you can specify it with the following XML snippet:
- <record model="ir.actions.act_window.view" id="tie_in_view_to_action">
<field name="sequence" eval="1"/>
<field name="view_mode">form</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="your_view_xml_id"/>
<field name="act_window_id" ref="product_template_action_tree"/>
Note that generally it is not advisible to change or delete a view as the view may be inherited by other modules. It is better to inherit a view instead. /// Thanks. I completely agree with the last point and I want to proceed this way. So, 1. How do I bulk replace fields in an inherited view? 2. How do I add a new menu item under an existing menu item and open the newly created View?
Menu will call an action (in this case, a window action). Window action will call a view. So, basically you need to do the following: - Inherit the view that you need to inherit. I am not aware of any way to bulk replace field. You can replace the form, I guess, but this will be quite similar as deleting the old view and creating a new one. - Create a new action window to using the new views that you have specified - Create a new menu whose parent is an old menu (specified by XML ID) and calling the new action that you have created. Check the account/account_view.xml for example. If you really need a different view from the original view, you can create (instead of inheriting or replacing) a new view and let the old view be.
Thx John. I want to display my new action under Sales/Products underneath Sales/Products/Products by Category. I wrote my new action as . vape is my module name, base.menu_product seems to be the id of Sales/Products. It didn't work
See the last line of my XML for the action I wrote.
Sorry about the confusion. This works now. I didn't include the new XML file in my data of openerp.py.
Thx for this. So this works when I add a new line (field name="sequence" eval="1") or (field name="priority" eval="1") to the form view xml. But, since it changes the priority, it changes the default Form view. While this is okay for me, I just want to know how to associate the my custom form view only to the custom tree view I created. In other words, how to trigger the custom form view when a record in tree view is clicked.
Ruben, please refer to the last 2 points in this answer on how to tie in a view to an action.
I was able to inject a new Menuitem with the following line
<menuitem id="vape.product" action="action_product_vape_tree_view" name="All Vape Products" parent="base.menu_product" />
I'm still wondering how to use my custom defined Form View in place of the default product template form view "product.product_template_only_form_view"
Can't find product_template_only_form_view in my version of Odoo. Anyway, there are a couple of ways to achive that. First, the simplest one but no guarantee, is to set your custom view with a small priority. The view has a priority field in which a smaller priority (e.g. 1) will be picked first if there are more than one views defined for that model. Second, is to tie the action with the form view. In my version of Odoo, product.template is called by action with XML ID: product_template_action_tree. You can add the following record to tie in your view with this action: form
Sorry the XML is not posted properly, I'll edit my previous answer.
