- Connecting a laptop to it with a different cable and a different browser, which had the same problem
- Updating network drivers
- Contacting ISP, which although we tried a lot things over the course of an hour or so, didn't help us
- Pinging the router and websites, which both work (which made me especially confused )
- Opening the "router management interface", no luck
- Setting up a static IP and other DNS servers, which also didn't work
I should also mention, although earlier that day we'd uninstalled the Norton Antivirus the Desktop had come with and installed AVG Free (free is given multiple meanings when it replaces Norton ) and Spybot S&D, everything worked fine most of the day after that, and since the laptop has the same problem, I don't think those are affecting anything.
Hope you can save us some frustration (and money, as I don't want to go replacing things without being sure they're broken) by helping troubleshoot the problem.
EDIT: I can't try what Dan suggested until tomorrow so I'm not going to bother posting, but for clarification this Desktop always connects directly, and has no Wi-Fi connection. This shouldn't affect things, but of course anyone who tries to help will like as much information as available on the problem. Also, I'm simply using the built in Wireless router and ethernet ports on the modem with no separate router.

First comes love…or sex?
"First comes love, then comes marriage, then here they come with a baby carriage." You may recognize this little rhythm my generation used to sing to embarrass each other. Based on today's culture the rhythm could go: "First comes sex, then comes living together, and the baby carriage could happen anytime or with anybody, as does the sex."
Casual sex has changed the landscape of relationships and marriage. Before 1960 most people saved sex for marriage, but now according to a recent survey, most people have sex before marriage. So how has this new trend impacted today's marriages? First, the divorce rate: prior to 1960 the divorce rate was less than 25%, today it's closer to 50%. As the rate of promiscuity has risen, so has the divorce rate. But secondly, and what this article will discuss is how casual sex has inhibited our ability to build emotional intimacy into our relationships, and how this emotional deficit is impacting marriages today.
The Five Levels of Intimacy
Psychologists have identified 5 levels of emotional intimacy we all move through as we get to know someone. They've been given several names, but for our purposes, let's call them Level one through five, with five being the highest, or most intimate level.
Level One: Safe Communication
Level one is the lowest level of communication. We call it safe because it involves the exchange of facts and information. There are no feelings, opinions or personal vulnerability involved, and therefore no risk of rejection. This is the kind of interaction we have with people we don't know well. It's the chitchat we share with the clerk at the grocery store or a stranger at a party. People communicating at this level share minimal intimacy. An example of this level would be, "Lousy weather we're having," This is great pizza," My team won last night."
Level Two: Others' Opinions and Beliefs
At level two we start sharing other people's thoughts, beliefs and opinions. We are beginning to reveal more of ourselves through our associations. We say things like, "My mother always says…" or "One of my favorite authors said…" Such statements test the other person's reaction to what we're sharing without offering our own opinions. This is slightly more vulnerable than level one, but because we're not sharing our own opinions we can distance ourselves from the opinion if we feel threatened by criticism or rejection.
Level Three: Personal Opinions and Beliefs
We start taking small risks at this level because we begin to share our own thoughts, opinions and beliefs. But like the previous level, if we begin feeling too vulnerable, we can say we've switched our opinions or changed our mind in order to avoid conflict or pain.
Level Four: My Feelings and Experiences
Sharing feelings and experiences is the next level of vulnerability and intimacy. At this level we talk about our joys, pain, and failures; our mistakes in the past, our dreams, and our goals. What we like or don't like. What makes us who we are. This level is more vulnerable because we can't change how we feel about something, the details of our past or current experiences. If we sense we may be rejected or criticized all we can do is try to convince others that we're no longer impacted by our past. We're no longer that person. We're different now.
Level Five: My Needs, Emotions and Desires
Level five is the highest level of intimacy. It is the level where we are known at the deepest core of who we are. Because of that, it is the level that requires the greatest amount of trust. If I can't trust that you won't reject me, I'll never be able to share my deepest self with you. Unlike the other levels, there is no escape at this level. Once I let someone see who I really am, I can no longer convince them otherwise. Communicating at this level means we offer someone the most vulnerable part of ourselves. And the greatest fear is that they could use it against us later. When we share things like, "I'm hurt when you don't call," I need to feel respected by you," or "I want to spend my life with you," we're sharing not only our hurts but our desires and needs as well. It's also the level where we let others see our emotional reaction to things, which if you're like me, isn't always a pretty sight. Maybe that's why we save those for the ones closest to us, like our families.
True Intimacy
It's important to understand that true intimacy in a relationship happens over time…not in a day, week or even a month. Think of your best friend…how long did it take before you felt at the highest level of intimacy with them, where you were able to trust them completely, or share your deepest self? It's the same in romantic relationships…true intimacy develops over time. But another important element is needed for true intimacy…both people in the relationship need to move through the levels together. If I'm sharing at level four with someone (feelings and experiences) but my partner is sharing at level three (opinions and beliefs) we're not experiencing true intimacy. I may feel closer because I'm sharing at a higher level, but in reality what we have is a false sense of intimacy. In truth, intimacy is measured by the person with the lower level of vulnerability.
Sex…A False Sense of Intimacy
When you look at the five levels, I'm sure you'd agree that the fifth or highest level is the healthiest, safest and most intimate place to have sex. When we feel loved unconditionally, and have the highest level of trust, we'll be able to give ourselves completely to each other, increasing intimacy and the enjoyment of sex. We can have sex at the other levels, but without that same level of trust the vulnerability of sex may be associated with anxiety, fear and distrust. As I've led women through healing, I've discovered that they have the hardest time with sex if they're not at this highest level with their partner, and if they've been wounded by sex with others in lower levels of intimacy, whether through abuse or their own choices.
So what happens if we have sex outside marriage before reaching that highest level, level five? Sex by itself is an intimate act. God designed sex to bond two people together spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally. In Genesis, God said that sex makes two people one. In essence He's saying sex 'glues' two people together. Research on the brain and sex has validated God's plan to bond people together with sex. During sexual arousal and release men and women release an amazing hormone called oxytocin. Scientists call oxytocin the hormone of love, the superglue that creates strong relational bonds. Releasing this hormone increases trust in a relationship, bonds people together, and causes intimacy. Oxytocin is also released in women when they give birth and when they breast feed their babies. You can see how God designed us to bond together in families to love, support and provide for each other.
When we have sex outside marriage before the highest level, we are creating a false sense of intimacy in our relationship. The sex makes us feel closer than we really are. Let's say we're at level three, where many couples start having sex outside marriage. We're only sharing thoughts, opinions and beliefs at this level. Of course we may occasionally move up to the next level as we're building trust, but until we've built enough needed, we'll always gravitate back to where we feel the safest. The sex makes us feel close, but in reality we don't know each other very well. We're experiencing a false sense of intimacy. We'll use sex to express our love, communicate and resolve conflict. And now it's at this level of emotional intimacy that we'll most likely stay.
In other words, emotional intimacy can get stalled at the level where we start having sex. Let me explain why. Emotional intimacy REQUIRES being able to risk conflict in order to move to the next level. Handling conflict in a healthy and safe way without being rejected is what allows us to build the trust needed to communicate at higher, more vulnerable levels. But now that we're having sex, we feel close, and we won't want to risk losing them. We also may feel that this is the one, and we won't want anything to threaten this relationship. And so although we may occasionally move to higher levels,we'll continue to fall back into that safe zone to communicate. We may sense that there's something missing, but then with sex, we'll feel that surge of closeness again, making us feel all is well…
And then we get Married…
When I first learned about intimacy levels, I was a sexual health educator going into schools and colleges teaching young people about saving sex for marriage. But God, the ultimate multi-tasker, began using what I was teaching others to show me what was happening in my own marriage. My husband and I had sex before we were married…very early in our relationship. Here we were now around 20 years married, and I was struggling with two things. First, I didn't enjoy sex, and couldn't understand why. Second, I didn't feel emotionally close to my husband. In fact, I often felt lonely in my marriage and desired that we could share more deeply with each other. This was making me question a lot of things…I felt shame and regret for my past sexual partners, for having pre-marital sex with my husband, and I wondered if I'd married the wrong person. Why didn't' I enjoy emotional and physical intimacy with him? I was beginning to wonder if the sex we'd had before marriage had kept me from really discovering if he was my true soul mate.
Isn't God so kind. Into my heart-felt secret pain, that only He knew, He brought the answer. I remember the light bulb going on when I first heard about the intimacy levels and sex. Instantly I understood that our emotional intimacy had gotten stalled between levels 2 and 3 where we first started having sex. This was why I never felt completely known by my husband, because he didn't really know me, and I didn't know him. The early sex had robbed us both of experiencing the highest level of intimacy and here we were 20 years later, still speaking for the most part just below the feeling level. Yes, we'd go there sometimes, but it was scary when it started creating conflict, and so I'd scurry back to that safe place…talking about the kids, money, what we'd do for the weekend.
Now I knew what was lacking…but how were we to get to that highest level of intimacy now, 20 years later? In my research I came across an author and counselor who taught on the intimacy levels. He said that he would counsel couples getting married who were having sex to stop and wait for marriage so that they could get to the highest level of intimacy. For married couples seeking his counsel who'd had sex before marriage, he encouraged them to take a fast from sex for a time so that they could get to the highest level of intimacy.
A Sex Fast…?
Sounds crazy, right? I thought so, but when I suggested to my husband that taking a fast from sex might improve our sex life, he was all for it. Mutually we agreed to fast for one month leading up to our 23rd anniversary, at which time we could come together. During that month we talked…a lot. We mostly talked about our sex life…and why I didn't like it so much. But we also talked about many other things…things we hadn't ever talked about. During that same time, I allowed God to take me through some sexual healing for my past choices and I discovered why I disliked sex so much. The wounding I'd experienced in past relationships had given me a negative view of sex, and I'd brought that into my marriage. With healing God exposed all the lies I'd come to believe about men and sex, and replaced them with His truth. And His truth set me free to love my husband, be loved in return and enjoy sex in a way I'd never known.
Even more, Eric and I grew emotionally. God allowed us to fast-track to that highest level of intimacy. We're still growing in that area, now at 30 years of marriage. It gets better and better…as does the sex. I'm not saying it's all perfect, and that we never fight, or that I am always ready for sex…because it's not all perfect, and I don't always want to have sex. But we both testify to the healing and transformation that God has done in our marriage. It wasn't an easy journey, but so worth it!
What About You…
So what about you? Can you relate to our story, or see yourself in what I've shared? If so, regardless of where you are right now in your marriage, God promises even more…more intimacy, more love, maybe even more sex! If you're marriage lacks emotional or sexual intimacy, pray and ask God what steps He wants to lead you to take towards more of both. Maybe like Eric and I, He'll encourage you to take a fast from sex for a time so you can move to the highest level of intimacy. If you've been wounded by sex in your past, whether from abuse, trauma or your own choices let God show you how He can heal you so that it no longer keeps you from complete intimacy in your marriage. Whatever it is, God knows all about you, and your story. He knows exactly what you need to heal. I know, because He's done it for us, and countless others. And He can and will do the same for you.
He's just waiting for you to give Him permission to get started. I'm praying you will. I promise…like Eric and I, you'll reap the benefits of the MORE God has waiting just for you.
If you are dealing with issues from your sexual history there is so much hope for you.

i heard them off pitchfork
and thought they were pretty good.
Sounds good,
wanna see them live even though they are supposed to be shit.
yes, me too
i'm curious to see how such a good band can be so shit live!
On first listen
"Satan Said Dance" sounds pretty good; the other two, not so much.
Same here.
the other don't sound too good.
Look like the may be one of those one pretty good album then nothing bands.
I've had the album for a month or so now
and I think it's genuinely awful.

I'm Vanessa (aka Hants Home Ed Mom) and this is my daughter Little Moo. No that's not really her name, it just happens to be the nickname I gave her when I started blogging as HousewivesInc back in 2009. And lets be honest, I don't feel comfortable sharing her real name on the internet!
Anyway, she'll be four in June, and should we have chosen to go the 'typical' route she would be due to start school this September (2013).
However, long before we had children, my husband & I had discussed and decided that we would home-educate. I believe here in the UK they don't like to use the phrase 'home school'... anyway, I'll probably be calling it both. A rose by any other name, and all that....
There are so many reasons behind our decision not to send her (and our son when he is old enough) to mainstream school. We are not hippies, and we are not anti-establishment - for some reason that's the reputation a lot of parents have for home-schooling their kids.
In an ideal world where money isn't an issue, we believe that private education is the way to go. Small classes, more individual attention, better discipline, better quality teaching, better exam results. Well, we just don't have the £1000+ per month that would entail. Sure, I could choose to go back to work to pay for it, but then I'd be back in a stressful job (I used to be a Bank Manager), and wouldn't get to spend much time with my family. This choice is also about a quality of life that is important to us.
If I teach my kids at home they will have the ultimate private education, and from an educator that really loves them and has their best (and personal) interests at heart.
I hope you'll enjoy following our journey,
Vanessa x

Hello everyone! Karolina here.
Brrr, it's so cold outside! Last time my friends from DT showed you a beautiful projects for Christmas, but today I would like to show you a little frame full of flowers, in spite of the weather ;) My project based on the amazing papers from PION Design, stickers and some embellishments, which you can find in Scrappweb store. These papers are so beautiful, romantic and delicate! I love them!
And some details:
I have used some medias and TCW stencil too. I like the effect, which I can get with Martha Stewart gesso - it's a very delicate like a mist and you can rub it like a chalk :)
Best regards from Poland!

Contributed by the Solar Energy Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF SOLAR ENERGY ENGINEERING: INCLUDING WIND ENERGY AND BUILDING ENERGY CONSERVATION. Manuscript received November 25, 2014; final manuscript received July 24, 2015; published online August 18, 2015. Assoc. Editor: Gilles Flamant.
Fixed tilt flat-plate solar thermal collectors, popularly known as solar water heaters, still remain as one of the most interesting technologies for utilization of solar energy. The system performance deteriorates due to scaling because of the continuous use of hard water as feed water. The present study deals with the experimental and analytical approach to determine the variation of Hottel–Whillier–Bliss (H–W–B) constants (which compactly represent the efficiency characteristics of a solar water heater) due to variation in solar power input and degree of scaling in case of forced circulation system (FCS) without considering the variation of input power to the circulating pump. Indoor tests are performed with a copper tube to investigate the flow characteristics. This forms a part of conventional FCS, in place of the usual nine-fin tube array in a full-fledged collector. In indoor tests, electrical heating is favored to simulate solar radiation level. Various energy parameters are determined and compared by incorporating the developed numerical code FLATSCALE. Variation between experimental and analytical mass flow rate, overall heat loss coefficient, and H–W–B constants with simulated solar radiation level is plotted. In scaled condition, the drop in instantaneous efficiency is due to both scale thickness and reduced water flow rate. Scale thickness acts as an additional thermal conductive resistance between absorber plate and flowing water. Overall heat loss coefficient increases as absorber plate temperature is high during reduced flow rate. The maximum deviation observed is 21.68% in mass flow rate, 14.64% in absorber plate mean temperature, 7.86% in overall heat loss coefficient, and 12.04% in instantaneous efficiency. Compared to a clean tube, a highly scaled tube of 3.7 mm scale thickness indicates a drop of 4.76% in instantaneous efficiency and 40.28% in mass flow rate. It is concluded that the growth of scale in FCS does not affect the instantaneous efficiency significantly because of the margin in heat carrying capacity of water in spite of high drop in the flow rate.

It's Wednesday again. I am between projects at the moment – for which read there is so much crap out I really can't start anything new until I put something away. But rather than show you a photo of this mess I thought I would share something that caught my eye when wakefulness lured me into my craft room just before dawn.
Before the eyes focussed, for a moment I honestly thought a slug had crawled onto my abandoned coffee cup. Then I realised that this is how I lose stamps. At some stage my cup has become temporary storage for a cling stamp. Several days ago judging by when I was working with it (and the state of the coffee cup, sorry about that LOL).
I do not recall doing this (I don't recall doing quite a few things these days, it is a slight worry).
So whether this is the kind of crafty housekeeping that makes you cringe self righteously or smile in sympathy it's one of the many things you can find at WOYWW. All the details can be found at Stamping Ground. And yes Julia, I look forward to your treatise on the nature of 'it' and why 'it' has a need to be rushing around all over the place quite so quickly.
Today I shall be at work, so visiting desks late. At work I will be prepping masks for an activity next week. Even though yesterday I was prepping pop-up books because I thought that was the activity for next week. Interestingly the children who turned up for the activity yesterday thought they were making the masks. Mainly because that is what I had written on the programme. All but two were too polite to query why they were making cone witches when they had come to make masks. I obviously changed the order of events in my head but neglected to change the advertising. Well that's my story. So much for being super organised. Still I think they had fun.
And I now know that masks are a popular choice judging by the 34 children that arrived.I had prepped for 12. (No child went home witchless).
I told you I keep forgetting things. What day is it again?

The Downside of Drips
Seven of them. Like the Seven Sins?
by George Runkle (TMFRunkle)
Atlanta, GA (August 2, 1999) -- In the past week or so on the Drip board, there has been a lively discussion about the pros and cons of Drip investing. Granted, I am a rather biased person on this, since good portions of my personal investments are in Drips, and I do write this column every Monday. However, there are a number of reasons why a person may not want to invest in Drips, so I'd like to go through them here. I'm going to start with what I consider the least important of the negatives, and work up to what I feel are the most important things to consider (all the while sharing my thoughts on each). Here they are:
1. You cannot time your purchases or sales to match the high and lows of the stock.
That said, the Fool of course has serious doubts about market timing, and waiting for a stock to drop a point or two may cause you to miss a purchase. Or, you might just buy a stock on its downward slide to oblivion. Likewise, selling at what you consider a high may be only one point on the way up. So, trying to time the market isn't advised anyway.
2. The fees can cost you more than a discount broker.
This depends on how much you are investing at one time and the Drip program you are considering. I invest $50 a month in Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) electronically, and the transfer agent charges me a $1 fee each time. That's a 2% fee, which isn't too bad. It would be hard to find a discount broker that will do that for me on $50 a month. However, some plans have outlandish fees, and if you are investing over $400 at a time, a deep discount broker may be better suited for you.
3. Selling can be difficult.
Again, it depends on the plan. The worst plan I ever had didn't sell the stock, they would send you a certificate. You had to arrange for the sale yourself. On the other extreme, many plans will sell stock for you on the first business day after you call to request the sale. It's not as fast as a brokerage, which will sell the stock immediately. Surprisingly, though, when I sold some of my Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) position last summer to buy my house, I received the check about four days after I called First Chicago to sell it. I sold a stock in a brokerage account my son had, and it took over a week to get the check. The brokerage waited three days until the trade had settled to send me the funds.
4. Purchases are often on a terrible schedule.
My son has a Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSX) Drip, and they purchase four times a year. You have to send them a check in a narrow window of time prior to the investment, which I am consistent at missing (they have no automatic purchase option). Other Drips invest more reasonably, on a monthly or better basis. It's important to check the plan.
5. It's not possible to buy the younger growth companies.
Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), America Online (NYSE:AOL), and many of the other really strong performers do not have Drips. Generally, only more mature dividend-paying companies carry these plans. I make use of my brokerage account to purchase these other issues (and I have done much worse than my Drips).
6. Recordkeeping is a nightmare.
In a word, yes. You have to keep meticulous records, otherwise you will pay a fortune in capital gains when you sell. With monthly purchases and fractional shares, this is not easy. I use Quicken to track my Drip accounts, but it takes up time every month to enter the statements, and it is a real hassle. My brokerage account is much easier -- although I also use Quicken to track it, I don't have monthly purchases of fractional shares to enter when the statement comes.
7. Taxes are even worse.
If you sell any of your Drip positions, you are in for a real treat come tax time. You have to account for the price of every share sold, which is even less fun with the fractional share purchases every month. Then you get to figure if they are long term or short term. All this is on the dreaded Schedule D, which will be pages and pages of fun if you sell a significant position. I've used Quicken and TurboTax to do this, but it still requires meticulous data entry (as stated in #6). Even though I used these programs, the whole process left me feeling slightly uneasy, and dreading an audit where I'd have to explain each purchase and sale. Root canals are more fun -- at least the dentist will give you laughing gas.
Consider your own situation, and look at any plan you intend on entering very carefully. Figure in its fees, how difficult it is to sell, and how often it will let you invest. Does it have an automatic purchase option? How fast does it sell when you are ready to pull out? How much money do you have to invest? If it's a significant amount each time, compare the plan fees with a discount broker's commissions -- it may not be advantageous for you to Drip. Finally, do you want to do the recordkeeping? You may find that a Drip isn't good for you.

James Bennett's illustrations create detailed, warm-hearted yet soulful images of some of the most famous baseball players. Each image portrays each player in a way that resembles and captures both their character and their unrelenting passion for the game. Some of James Bennett's illustrations are of Jackie Robinson, Bill Lee and Lou Gehrig, just to name a few.
Bennett's illustrations really do illustrate the wonderment found in baseball. These soulful baseball pieces are incredibly touching and insightful; Bennett has truly captured the essence of baseball. There are so many emotions packed into one image that the entire collection of images becomes one touching masterpiece. Bennett also successfully captured the camaraderie shared in baseball and a true, die-hard baseball fan would really appreciate the emotions poured into these creative pieces.

It's a mere week before filming the Season 9 finale and we still have 11 designers left! What they don't know at this point is that they are all fighting for a chance to present at least a decoy collection at New York Fashion Week. Just two more eliminations remain before the show at Lincoln Center next week.
It's an avant-garde challenge this week, who will shine and who "will crash and burn"? Here's the plan tonight:
- Tbone and suzq will host our fun and fab live play by play and party room beginning at 8:30 p.m. If you are without Lifetime, we'll tell you all the ins and aufs. If you do have Lifetime, the show is more fun with our snark!

Imagine a world in which any wish, no matter how extravagant, can be fulfilled -- a world in which every brainchild of an artistic genius is brought to fruition. Peter Carl Faberge was court jeweler to Russian Czars Alexander III and Nicholas II, and in 1885 he began an annual tradition of fashioning one golden Easter egg, complete with cunning gold traps and precious jewels hidden inside. His artistic flair so delighted the Russian royal families that they gave Faberge free rein to create anything he wished; as a result of their generosity and frivolity, there are 49 of these unique and stunningly crafted Easter eggs -- each with a different "surprise" inside -- in existence today. For The Fabulous World of Faberge, A & E has gathered together historians, jewelers, collectors, and Faberge's descendents to tell his extraordinary life story, from the rise of his art to the fall of a monarchy.
Add this movie to your queue to receive more information about
The Fabulous World of Faberge and we will let you know when it becomes available.

Well-known member
After importing from VB, it's noticeable that there are a number of different ways to deal with permissions. Many of my forum specific carried over with some strange results. So, I thought it would be awesome to have a "reset" link for each usergroup for node permissions (actually, user specific as well). That way, all group permissions can be reset to the default, group inherited, permissions for that user without the need to individually go in and make the changes for each usergroup.

The First Amendment of the US Constitution hangs in the balance. Will homosexual activists get their way in their demand that every American affirm their relationship or will the US Supreme Court uphold the religious freedom of Christian business owners who do not want to use their God-given talents to help celebrate something they view as sinful?
Action Alert – Thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions
US Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued two very important memos addressing Title VII and religious freedom. Both of these had been misinterpreted over the last eight years which resulted in misrepresenting what the original intents of the authors of Title VII and the First Amendment were. These memos bring common sense back into these documents.
AFA of PA Week in Review
AFA of PA encourages Christians, through education, to become involved in pro-family issues in their community, state and the nation. This is some of what has been going on in the Commonwealth and the nation.
Action Alert – Ask Your State Senator to Co-Sponsor Resolution
A former US Marshall who is now in Pennsylvania's State Senate is fed up with the anti-American NFL protests surrounding the National Motto and says they cannot go "unrebuked." Senator Mike Regan, Republican from York County, is circulating a co-sponsorship memo for a resolution condemning the anti-American protests on the gridiron the weekend of September 23rd and 24th.
News Release – Beaver Area School District Encouraged to Set up Meeting
The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide traditional values group and an advocate for the First Amendment, has contacted Beaver Area School District superintendent Dr. Carrie Rowe and asked her take to up First Liberty Institute's offer to sit down and discuss how the school district might provide for religious expression in the future. Graduation Day on June 2nd should have been a happy time for all graduating seniors, but when one's speech has been censored by the administration that takes away from the significant milestone in a student's life.
News Release — William Penn's Words Deemed Too Offensive
Tonight those city council members who were elected to uphold the Constitution chose instead to ignore it and deny its very existence. City Council has voted to remove the war memorial because atheists found part of it offensive — the Tyrants Bench with a paraphrase of William Penn's quote "Men who aren't governed by God will be governed by tyrants." The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), an advocate for the First Amendment and the Founding Fathers understanding of it, is appalled that not one city council member had the courage to stand up against the bullies from the American Atheists, but instead gave in to their unconstitutional demands.
Blog Post – Christians, You Are The Problem
In September the US Commission on Civil Rights issued a 306 page briefing report entitled "Peaceful Co-Existence: Reconciling Nondiscrimination Principles with Civil Liberties." The report examined the balance struck by federal courts in claims for religious exemptions from nondiscrimination laws.
Action Alert – Supreme Court Expected to Deliberate Tomorrow
As Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel said, "This is the most divisive and culturally destructive issue to face America since the Supreme Court's abortion decision in Roe v. Wade. The difference between the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion decision and this one is the coercive nature of it. As horrific as Roe v. Wade is, that Supreme Court decision did not force people to participate in abortion. A decision that says same-sex marriage is a constitutional right will result in coercion against religious freedom and conscience rights. "
Blog: IRS Will Monitor Churches
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) should really be renamed "The Freedom From Christianity Foundation," since its primary target is the Christian faith – although in the past they also have demanded the removal of the Star of David from a Holocaust memorial. They must not know who the primary targets of the Nazis were anymore than they know the Christian history of the establishment of this nation.
Action Alert – Thank Commissioner Frazier
From a January 14, 2014 Baltimore Sun article: "Bruce Hake, of Union Bridge, and Neil Ridgely, of Finksburg, are suing the county because they believe the commissioners' sectarian prayers violate the so-called "Religion Clauses" of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which has been historically interpreted to prohibit the establishment of a national religion by Congress or the preference of the government for one religion over another.

In that capacity, she will direct all aspects of Dominion's Ohio natural gas distribution company, including production, gathering, storage, distribution and transmission assets. Bomar succeeds Bruce C. Klink, who is retiring from Dominion East Ohio after 36 years, including the last two as company president.

"Anne Bomar is the right leader to continue these ongoing initiatives, including improving our pipeline infrastructure, replacing outdated facilities and adding new technologies. We will continue to look for ways to keep our natural gas services reliable and efficient."
Born in Fairmont, W. Va., Bomar earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Cornell University and a law degree from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary, where she was awarded membership in the Order of the Coif.

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
|Scott Hamilton, Ken Peplowski, Spike Robinson
Groovin High

CD Reviews
Samuel Chell | Kenosha,, WI United States | 03/17/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"My hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin is the birthplace not only of Orson Welles but of Spike Robinson, the tenor star who, at the age of 56 in 1985, decided to give up his job as an engineer and devote full time to playing jazz. Despite enjoying considerable international success and recording over a dozen first-rate albums, his accomplishments remain as much of a secret to most Kenoshans as Welles' "Rosebud."Looks like there's not much left of Spike in print (most CD's, LP's, and books have the shelf life of a carton of milk). "Groovin' High" is not my favorite Spike on record because it forces him to share too much of his time with Hamilton and Peplowski. To hear him at his very best, look for his Harry Warren album, where the presence of Ray Brown and Victor Feldman inspires him to kick it up a notch. There's also a wonderful CD he made with all-time pro Al Cohn, whom Spike not only manages to keep up with but upstages on just about each of their tenor exchanges.Spike has a style and sound that evoke the 4 Brothers of Woody Herman's 2nd Herd. In fact, at times it's easy to mistake him for a Getz, Cohn, or Zoot Sims. What distinguishes his solos is their long, uninterrupted melodic line. It's as though he sees his goal way in advance and refuses to breathe until he's reached it. Wish his recordings enjoyed the same longevity."
A Mainstream Tenor Sax Delight!!
Robert J. Ament | Ballwin, MO United States | 09/01/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Anyone who likes good swing or excellent tenor sax playing will love every track of this cd.Scott Hamilton plays consistently good swing on everything he has done with a style and tone of Zoot Simms and/or Ben Webster.I can't really tell Ken Peplowski's playing from Scott's.....at least not enough to bet money! Scott's playing may be a little breathier. Perhaps that's one reason Ken has turned more to the clarinet in recent years. Spike Robinson, who was unknown to me, has a real cool tone and also sounds at times like Zoot Sims or Stan Getz. Put them all together on this cd and it is somewhat reminiscent of the Four Brothers sound of the Woody Herman era.This is fine music throughout but there are three tunes where one sax drops out and you get a comparison of styles: "That Ole Devil Called Love" (Hamilton and Robinson), "What's New" (Robinson and Peplowski), and "I'll See You In My Dreams" (Peplowski and Hamilton). All are excellent improvisationists!This whole program is held together by some excellent accompanyment: Howard Alden on guitar, Gerry Wiggins at the piano, Dave Stone standing by the bass, and Jake Hanna's drum work.I have a lot of Scott's and Pep's cds......looks like I'll have to check out some by Spike Robinson.If you like tenor sax in a swing setting, you will enjoy this entire cd!"

Tips and Advice
If you are determined to receive great assistance over the internet, there are many ways to get help but you will have to remain patient until you find what you are looking for since there are just so many resources out there. In many cases, help over the internet can be slow or insufficient. If you are not willing to accept minimal assistance and need to get immediate one-on-one help for a child struggling in school, it might be best to look into in-person instruction in your local area. Try asking a teacher at school to provide one-on-one assistance either before or after class. In many cases, school teachers are willing to help for free and can be far more effective than any online math tutor. In other cases, you may want to consider hiring a local private instructor for personalized assistance. However, in any case, it is important to address any inabilities to grasp numerical concepts, especially at very young ages. As the course level becomes more and more advanced, it becomes more critical that students exhibit an excellent conceptual understanding of not only the material being taught but also the material that they have learned in previous years.

October 17, 2011
Tim Hollister, an environmental attorney and Partner at Shipman & Goodwin LLP in Hartford, Conn., will present a paper about the worldwide evolution of green building standards at the World Jurist Association's (WJA) 24th Biennial Congress on the Law of the World in Prague, Czech Republic.
Atty. Hollister is the first Shipman & Goodwin lawyer ever invited to speak at The Congress, which draws approximately 1,000 attorneys and judges from around the world. He will speak on October 27, 2011, in one of several presentations organized by the International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA). The theme of the 2011 conference is National Legal Cultures in a Globalized World.
Atty. Hollister, who co-chairs Shipman & Goodwin's Real Estate, Environmental and Land Use Practice Group, will present, "Black and White Issues in the Evolution of Green Building Standards." He will examine the varying definitions of green building around the world and discuss 12 critical policy and administrative issues that nations, regions, and private sponsor organizations make, confront and resolve as they adopt and implement green building programs. Atty. Hollister's paper reviews the variety of methods by which private organizations, nations, and regions promulgate green building standards. It then compares the major international green building programs such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the European Union's Green Building Programme, and the U.K.'s BREEAM standard.
"My paper explains the key legal and policy steps in the evolution of green building, and presents a snapshot of the current international status of this still relatively new environmental movement," explains Atty. Hollister. "It's an honor to be invited to speak at the World Jurist Association's biennial conference."
Atty. Hollister practices land use, environmental and municipal law at Shipman & Goodwin LLP, and handles a wide range of real estate and administrative law problems that arise in the context of land use and environmental matters. He has developed a national reputation in land use law and is widely recognized for his work in workforce and affordable housing development, wetlands regulation, and eminent domain.
Active in the development of green building standards in Connecticut, Atty. Hollister represents the first developer to propose a subdivision required by regulation to meet the Gold level of the National Green Building Standard (published by the Research Center of the National Association of Home Builders). He has lectured in Connecticut and in Washington D.C. about this work, and has attended continuing education classes about green building in the residential sector.
Atty. Tim Hollister's paper, "Black and White Issues in the Evolution of Green Building Standards," may be downloaded here.
"A world ruled by law, not force" has been the World Jurist Association (WJA)'s mission since its founding in 1963. The WJA was formed in response to an international outcry for a free and open forum where judges, lawyers, law professors and other professionals from around the world could work cooperatively to strengthen and expand the Rule of Law and its institutions through the nations of the world. As a non-governmental organization with special consultative status at the UN Economic and Social Council, the WJA provides a unique forum for the international community. The full conference program for the 24th Biennial Congress on the Law of the World: National Legal Cultures in a Globalized World is available at www.worldjurist.org.

Santander absorbs Banesto and Banif and shuts branches
Banco Santander is to absorb two Spanish banks, Banesto and Banif, closing 700 branches in the process.
It owns 90% of Banesto and will buy out the minority shareholders with Santander shares at a 25% premium. It already owns all of Banif.
The three banks have 4,664 branches in Spain between them. All the remaining branches will be branded as Santander.
Santander predicted that the merger would save it 520m euros ($684m; £422m) a year in three years' time.
It said that the merger was part of the restructuring of the Spanish financial system.
Santander did not say how many jobs would go, but said job cuts would be implemented gradually through transfers around the group, natural turnover and voluntary redundancy.
It added that the proportion of Spanish bank branches owned by the group would increase by 2015 despite the closures, because other banks were also cutting back their networks.
Santander said the total number of bank branches in Spain was expected to fall to 30,000 by the end of 2015, down from 46,000 in 2008.

A former council boss jailed for sexually abusing students and colleagues could have attacked even more victims, it has been claimed.
Roger Dodds, aged 81, of Cotswold Road, Hillsborough, was in charge of giving grants to university and college students when he assaulted five people between the 1970s and 1990s.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how Dodds forced students to engage in sexual acts in order to secure payments. He was jailed on Friday for 16 years after admitting four counts of indecent assault on a man aged 16 or over and one count of indecent assault on a boy aged under 14 years.
The charges relate to five separate victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
One victim claimed there could be even more people who were abused who have yet to come forward.
He said: "We are just the tip of the iceberg."
Another added: "I was the victim of a really horrible man. The council are so responsible. I even think at times the council are more responsible than he was."
They said he was investigated in both the 1980s and 1990s with no apparent consequences. The victims also claimed he was allowed to retire after a long career with an enhanced pension.
An independent investigation, carried out after an accusation of historic abuse was made in 2008, found failures in how the council dealt with complaints against Dodds.
The council's executive director for children, young people and families, Jayne Ludlum, said she was "deeply sorry" on behalf of the authority.

The story so far.
In my previous blog post 'craft fairs, soul searching and a great day out' I shared my disappointment and frustration at the poor sales I have had from craft fairs this year.
Was it:
the venue?
the promotion?
my prices?
my product?
my display?
the footfall?
the customer demographic?
aliens? (just checking you're still reading)
I shared photos of my previous stalls, inviting feedback, and I also invited feedback on my flickr photos here.
I was blown away by the response, thank you all for your frank feedback about your craft fair experiences, which mostly seemed to be similar to mine. It promoted a real debate on this issue. Do craft fairs work?
Well, I'm back, and I've done 2 more events since I last blogged about it.
100% Handmade in Ilkley 31st October
Back in the Ridding Hall, Ilkley, where I was 3 weeks before with the Keighley Arts Factory, but this time with an event organized by Leeds Vintage Fairs. Interesting to compare the differences, my analytic brain likes that!
my stall – glammed up considerably from how it was here enabling me to put more jewellery out, give it a bit more 'shape' etc
venue – Sally and Sam only had tables around the edge, and the middle had lovely shabby chic tables/tablecloths etc for people to have lovely pots of tea and wonderful food.
footfall – really good, interestingly Sally and Sam were disappointed, as their events in Leeds are normally busier.
promotion – great, Sally and Sam have built up an email list of over 3000 people through their Vintage fashion events, they put fliers through doors, boards up on the road in to Ilkley, and promoted widely in Leeds. This gets the daytrippers to stop by.
So, how was it? Well, after recovering from the shock that I had forgotten my new round black bead mats and mirror mats, I set up and was really pleased with the look of the stall this time. I haven't made all the changes people have suggested, yet, but most of them.
And…I did really well! YEAY! Including a sale of an expensive set, which is always so flattering when people are prepared to commit to spending that much, and are giving it as a gift.
It was a great day, meet some more great craft people, some contacts which led not only to my Christmas Bazaar that I did yesterday, more about that later…and some more things in the pipeline.
So why was it more successful? Well, I am clearly no expert and I think my stall looks much improved, but mainly I think it was the promotion. I know that every events I have done has been promoted hard, but if it's not the right kind, it is really ineffectual. Sally and Sam have a customer base they have gradually built up from their vintage fairs in Leeds, and you could tell that the people who came were mostly the right people for the event, and came with the idea to spend on desigener / maker goods. There is no substitute for this, I guess it just takes time as well as hard work. Events need to build a reputation to get the right people to come.
Christmas Bazaar at The Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey
This was totally different to any other events I've done. It was a Ladies Luncheon Charity Day raising funds for the local Sue Ryder Hospice. Situated in the prestigious Devonshire Arms Hotel in Bolton Abbey, we were in a collection of small and intimate function rooms, and the ladies arrived all morning before going in to lunch, and came round again after. There were a few other people that came throughout the day.
I went with Chrissie from Hat Therapy and we both thought the venue suited our work. I think my stall looked it's best yet, the table was a good size. Also there was Emma from Cakewalk in Ilkley and Cathy from 'Dear Emma Designs' both of whom I met at 100% Handmade.
Another great day! The visitors took their time to really look at everything, asked questions and were very interested. I had good sales and a couple of commissions, too. It was beautifully organized and I would definitely do one of these events again.
I donated my 'beauty bright' prehnite, rose quartz and freshwater pearl charm bracelet for the Sue Ryder Charity auction next week

day 126:
at 5:30am recently....with limi kicking and babbling away between us...A.glanced over and said: 'i look forward to those teenage years' when we struggle to get limi out of bed before 10am....'
well last night was the start of that! she's been tantalising us recently by sleeping from 7pm to 5/6am but we've still had very early mornings! last night she slept through the 3am-wake-up and only woke up at 7am (i think that it counts as her first non-jet-lag-related-sleep-through)......hopefully this is the start of regaining some much needed beauty sleep (i have got 18 weeks to catch up on)!

I got a copy of the Female Mind Mastery series from the 2 Girls Teach Sex team. The Module itself is pretty well put together, with sections escalating from getting a "perfect girlfriend" to demonstrations of intense and lasting sex. The whole series reminds of me 2 Girls Teach Sex, and does re-hash a lot of material covered in the original 2gts DVDs.
Once inside, you will find weekly module that populate depending on your membership level. The seminars are pretty good, and the whole product focuses on bringing you a brief "mental" change on "how to think about sex" and then goes straight into sex and specific tips on improving your sex life.
Deep Impact Series teaches you a technique that extends your penis size for maximum impact. I tried this with my girlfriend and she was amazed. This is a worthwhile section. The girl, Tasha Reign is not bad to look at either.
Seminar sessions include common Q&A questions guys have about sex and the woman's perspective on what feels good. Overall pretty good, I wish they did more of these videos with even more girls. All-in-all you see about 4-5 female pornstars and 2 guy pornstar coaches.
Demonstrations differ depending on the coach, some of the girls just go straight into it. The guy coaches stop and explain what he's doing at each step.
Q&A with girls I think can be informative if they got some non pornstar talent to get an idea of how average girls view sex. It is not every day that guys meet pornstars on the street.
Demonstrations with pauses and explanations and highlights on video helps and if you really view it for the techniques AND actually practice, you will be better in bed.
Overall, not a bad product, if you're looking for tips in the bedroom all laid out in a clear, easy to learn process. Follow the link below for a discount.

the Myth, the Reality; Author Stacy Schiff visits
Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in mystery. Mention her name and people might think of the Elizabeth Taylor movie. Perhaps they think Cleopatra as a temptress who had affairs with powerful men like Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. But according to Stacy Schiff, the author of Cleopatra: A Life, Cleopatra was much more than a movie role or a cunning seductress.
Schiff spoke at the Central Library on Tuesday, Oct. 4. The event was sponsored by Friends of the Milwaukee Public Library and Boswell Books. Schiff provided the rapt Milwaukee audience with provocative insight on Cleopatra's life and influence.
"What a great coup for Milwaukee," said audience member Nancy O'Donnell. "We get both Stacy Schiff and Cleopatra."
After a brief introduction by Milwaukee Public Museum President and CEO, Jay Williams, Ms. Schiff took the stage. Before her talk began, she treated us to a one-minute video where people on the street were asked about their impressions of Cleopatra. Not surprisingly, Elizabeth Taylor came up in responses. Cleopatra was called powerful, beautiful, misinterpreted and a seductress. One person mentioned rhinoplasty, and another thought Cleopatra was around in medieval times, both of of which got chuckles from the audience.
"Biography is revenge on the bigger people by the little people," said Schiff. "And you don't bigger than Cleopatra."
Schiff wrote biographies on other notable figures such as Benjamin Franklin, but said writing about the Egyptian queen was a daunting task because of the difficulty finding information about her. When writing about other subjects, Schiff was able to find mundane information like bathing habits and shopping lists, but Cleopatra lived in pre-factual time. The geography, religion, calendar and language of her time have all changed. Schiff traveled to Alexandria, Egypt for two weeks to conduct research about Cleopatra, examining texts and classical sources, but that was only part of the five years of research that went into the book.
Still, this did not deter her, and with tenacious research, she was able to find out a great deal about her subject. First, Cleopatra was no great raving beauty. She had sharp features with a strong chin and a beak nose. What she lacked in beauty she made up for with keen intellect and beguiling charm. Cleopatra knew nine languages and was highly educated. Yes, she did have affairs with Julius Caesar and MarkAntony, but she also forged strong political alliances with both of these men. Though we hardly think of ancient times as being particularly enlightened, Cleopatra's gender was not an issue. Schiff also discussed the drama and danger surrounding Cleopatra, as incest and murder are part of her legacy. She married two of her brothers and called for the assassination of her siblings.
A member of the audience asked Schiff about the book being optioned as a movie with Angelina Jolie as the lead. Schiff said she has the script but the movie is still in the planning stages and no director has been named, though she said Jolie has the charisma to play Cleopatra.
Schiff's visit was kismet. On Oct. 14, the Milwaukee Public Museum will unveil its newest exhibit "Cleopatra – The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt," which will feature nearly 150 artifacts on Cleopatra and Egypt. Schiff was given a sneak peek of the exhibit and said Milwaukee is in for a real treat.

The EPICT EPP-100 may look like any other pico projectors sold in the market however inside this device are components similar to those used in Android smartphones. This makes it perform just like a projector and like an Android PC once a mouse and keyboard are connected to it with the wall serving as the monitor.
Technical Specifications
- SoC – AllWinner A20 Dual core ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-Core with ARM Mali-400 MP2 GPU
- System Memory – 512MB RAM
- Storage – 4GB NAND Flash + micro SD card slot (Up to 32GB)
- Projector – Resolution 800 x 480, 35 Lumens, Up to 80″
- Connectivity – Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth
- USB – 1x USB 2.0 Host, 1x micro USB OTG
- Audio – 3.5 mm jack for headphone
- Power – Standby Time: Up to one week
- Dimensions – 68 x 62 x 57mm
- Weight – 210g (without the stand)
Used as a projector it can provide up to 35 Lumens that's able to project an image on a wall. You need to use it on a dimly lighted room though. It's really not one of the best projectors available in the market.
Using this device as an Android PC is sluggish at times owing to its hardware specs. The low powered dual core processor and limited RAM are contributing factors to this. You will however be able to go online, play games , run your favorite apps, or watch videos.
What makes this mini Android projector great is that for such a small device you can carry with you your presentations or watch videos on a large display while on the go.
This device is ready for pre-order at the PandaWill website and it seems they are the only ones stocking this device as of this moment. It is being priced at $220.99 with the package containing the unit itself, a charger, and a USB cable. It is expected to ship out at the end of August.
Considering its price tag there are other portable devices available in the market that are much cheaper and are even better at giving presentations or watching videos on the go.

|Historical Background
Long before the Spaniards came, the whole Zamboanga was covered with forest except the areas along the shores. The natives engaged in fishing, they inhabied in the shore lines. Upon their arrival, the Spaniards undertook at once the task of building a town, which is at present the city of Zamboanga.
This town became a center, so that, it prospered and expanded to its present boundaries. Many people made good in the place, so they decided to settle there permanently with their families.
It was then Moros harassed the foreigners while they were on campaign. The Spaniards reached the farthest place where the settlers built their homes. On their way, they met a man carrying bundles of vegetables. The soldier who wish to know the name of the place, asked him in Spanish, "Que se llamas estoy lugar?" The man did not understand what he was talking about. All he thought the Spaniard was asking him where he was going, so he answered, "sa lungsod", which is in Visayan dialect, meaning "going to town". Since the Spaniard found difficulty in saying the Visayan word, he pronounced it as "lunzur", until many settlers heard it, until many people modified the place as "lunzuran" which meant pleasant and so romantic to hear.
