A recent internal discussion is prompting this posting. In my opinion (thats all SEO really is, really), the page title weighs heavily in the algorithms of all the major search engines. So to help you in your efforts, here's what to look for:
- Include an accurate, keyword-rich page title of about 7 words
- Exclude transition words (and, the, a etc.) in the title – they just waste space
- Include a unique title for each page
Note that the title is the first and probably the only thing the searcher will look at in the search results, but having a keyword list as title might get you listed higher (if you're not penalized), but it's less likely to get clicked than a well structured title.
Consider this syntax:
In the HEAD section of the site add:
<title>Your Keyword-Rich, Descriptive Page Title Here</title>
Hope you find this useful. Speak with you soon. DC

Mean Creek -- The Definition of Sound
The best way to Mean Creek's sound is simply to listen to them. It's easy to forget the obvious as a writer, always trying to find whatever perfect key is going to unlock the correct feelings in a reader about music they've never heard. Back in August, I wrote about Mean Creek for an item in the Boston Globe's Sidekick section. I got their debut album, Around the Bend, and three-song EP in time to listen through exactly once before I had to describe their sound. This is what I came up with – "Mean Creek's folksy Simon & Garfunkel harmonies anchor a sound that alternates between jangling and overdriven guitars."
But once I saw them at the gig I had previewed, I realized there was a lot more to them. There is a hyper-emotive, atmospheric aspect that remind me of the Shins. There are droning guitars like the shoe-gazers, and elements pulled from a multitude of other sources that, taken together, make for an original sound. It seems Spin had to invent a word for them in their review of a show with Straylight Express. They called them "country-core," which sounds to me like Gwar in overalls playing electric banjos. If you're reading this on Tuesday, November 6, you're in luck. You can go see them open for Sea Wolf at the Middle East Upstairs and describe their sound for yourself.
I caught up with Chris Keene (vocals, guitar) and Aurore Ounjian (vocals, guitar, harmonica) by e-mail about the show.
I never heard the term "country-core" until the Spin.com review. Do you identify with that? I hear elements of folk, especially in the harmonies, guitar-centric indie rock like Built to Spill, alt.country.
The term "country-core" is new to us. We're definitely influenced equally by folk music like Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger, as well as rock bands like Nirvana, The Pixies, and Buffalo Tom.
Are you a different band from gig to gig? Seems like you'd be equally comfortable on a bill with heavier bands or doing an acoustic set in a listening room.
I think we're the same band gig to gig. Live we get really excited about playing and it can get really loud and energetic. Our songs fluctuate a lot between being really soft and really loud. We hope the diversity is a good thing. We love playing with really heavy bands, and really soft bands, and will hopefully continue to be able to play with both.
Do you consider yourselves a political band? You don't necessarily make that obvious, but you can hear it in songs like "Not to Dream."
We definitely don't consider ourselves a political band. Songs like "Not To Dream" are really just personal songs just like all our other songs. Whenever we sing about anything that is remotely political its main purpose is to express how our environment makes us feel, and how it affects us, not so much trying to send some sort of political message.
Is the new EP part of a larger project you're working on?
Originally it was going to be released as a 3 song EP, but we will be recording more new songs before the end of the year and we're in the process of figuring out the next step, and what makes the most sense to do with all our new material.
What kind of response have you gotten opening up for Straylight Run?
All our shows with Straylight Run have been absolutely incredible. They are a great band, and their fans are absolutely amazing. It's mostly a teenage crowd and they are unbelievably supportive of every band that plays. They come to the show early and go right to the front of the stage as soon as they get into the club. When we toured the UK with them we sold out of every copy of our album we brought with us. It's inspiring to see people that excited about music.
Do you think the Sea Wolf gig will open up a new audience for you in Boston?
We really hope so. That's the main reason we like supporting national touring bands in Boston, and just in general playing with all different kinds of bands. In the past its worked out well, so hopefully it will continue to be that way.

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Dutchman Dick Advocaat will take over as Serbia coach to lead the team's bid to qualify for the 2016 European Championship, the Balkan country's Football Association (FSS) president Tomislav Karadzic told Reuters.
"The agreement we have reached with Advocaat is a result of month-long negotiations we've had with him and we will officially unveil him as the new coach in the next few days," Karadzic said on Tuesday.
The 66-year old Advocaat, who has coached a myriad of clubs and national teams including his native Netherlands, Belgium, South Korea and Russia, will replace caretaker Ljubinko Drulovic who stepped in for Sinisa Mihajlovic after Serbia failed to qualify for this year's 2014 World Cup.
Advocaat won the 1999 domestic treble in Scotland with Rangers as well as the 2007 Russian Premier League and the 2008 UEFA Cup with Zenit St. Petersburg but the last six years of his career have been barren.
He will be the second foreigner to coach Serbia after Spaniard Javier Clemente failed to qualify for Euro 2008.
The Serbians reached the 2010 World Cup under Radomir Antic but missed out on Euro 2012 as well as this year's World Cup in Brazil.
"Serbia has a very good team and the focus will be on qualifying for Euro 2016," Advocaat told Dutch media.
"The FSS showed a lot of initiative in the talks and I agreed to take over."

With the recent shuffling of the deck of late night hosts at NBC and the upcoming ones at CBS and Comedy Central, don't expect the Fox network to get into the late night game anytime soon. When asked by Vulture whether the network would like to add a late night show in the future, Fox chairman Kevin Reilly replied, "I think it's unlikely. It's never off of our agenda, but I think it's unlikely just because of the challenge of launching these [shows] in this fractured universe."
Unlike the other three major broadcast networks, Fox has never had a stable nightly late night show. The network hasn't tried to launch one since the disastrous Chevy Chase Show went off the air in 1993. Fox went after Jay Leno around the time of his first Tonight Show exit in 2009 and briefly chased Conan O'Brien a year later after his Tonight Show exit, but the network has opted to stick with its current model of airing syndicated programming in the 11pm hour on local affiliates, which is much less costly and risky than hosting a late night show. It looks like Fallon vs. Colbert vs. Kimmel is going to stay a three-person race.

Photo Tagger for Vivaldi please…
One thing that keeps me with Opera for all those years is the Photo Tagger Extension. It lets me collect pictures I like just right into the Speed Dial of the browser. I've got a huge collection of them. And I love to keep them offline not on a picassa or other site which I would have to login etc. Moreover the old version of it allows animated gifs and rearrangement. So. Can you make a Photo Tagger clone for Vivaldi? For an argument I would say that the original Photo Tagger has over 2milion downloads.That means something Doesn't it? Will you add it to your todo list? Please.
I would be surprised if there was not already a similar extension for Chrome, and it's not something that the Vivaldi developers should be spending time on.
Here it says: Downloads 4,535,109 so it's obviously very popular. It seems that over 4.5m users are too lazy to save pictures to a specific folder from where they can be selected in Speed Dial settings. Even if you wanted to change your speed dial every day, it would not be too time-consuming. (It takes me about 15 seconds)
Vivaldi currently has a choice of 7 default photos (1800 x 1200 pixels) that can be selected plus one custom slot, which allows you to select any picture on your hard drive with a few clicks.
Spiral Graphics have some nice freeware if you want to create some nice patterns to use in the Speed Dial
Well, don't call 4mln users too lazy.
It's the way it works.
You have a nice thumnail in the speed dial and your own galery with one click from you.
(with animated gifs working (which is not so common in these online shitty picture sites)
So believe me, it's something that 4,5mln users trusted because it's good.
The Image collector extension does not work as it's said above.
Very pity.

"BGC is the fastest growing central business district in the country today. More companies are seeking it as their business address. Aside from its business-friendly environment, it is home to a number of lifestyle and health, entertainment hubs, and other institutions which make it a desirable address for companies, employees and residents alike," said Pol Tanco, Avida Project and Strategic Management Group Head.
"But the offices available in this market mostly cater to BPOs and multinationals. Most offices here typically offer units with modal of 250sqm. Capital House offers the right fit for SMEs, professional firms and those looking to have satellite offices with a BGC address," Tanco said.
Capital House will be situated near activity centers such as Turf BGC all-weather football field, Flying Trapeze PH, Active Park and the upcoming BGC Sports Complex and Kidzania. Avida Land's five residential offerings and its first office project are also located near this boutique office.
Design firms, ad agencies, holding companies, and front end offices of manufacturing and trading offices already reserved their office spaces.
Capital House, which will be formally launched on March 24 at Holiday Inn, is set to break ground next month. The project is expected to be completed in December 2017 and turned over in the second quarter of 2018.
For the first half of this year, Avida Land is set to launch 10 projects worth P20 billion across strategic locations in Bonifacio Global City, Makati City, Quezon City, Muntinlupa, Bulacan, Tagaytay, Iloilo and Tuguegarao. The company, the mid-market brand of property powerhouse Ayala Land, Inc., is launching 7 residential condominiums, 2 land and house subdivision, and 1 office condominium.
Avida Land is also marking its 25th year as a consistently top-ranked developer for the mid-market segment of the industry. Avida has built 60,000 homes within 73 projects in 29 strategic locations nationwide, making it the Ayala Land subsidiary with the most number of projects and broadest geographic presence in the country. This includes South Park District, its first large-scale, masterplanned mixed-use estate in Muntinlupa.
Avida earlier disclosed plans on the upcoming Avida Towers in Cloverleaf, Ayala Land's township project in Balintawak, Quezon City. Avida's 1.4 hectare condominium development will be adding 2,300 units residential offering that will complement the retail, business and lifestyle components of Cloverleaf.
"We see bigger prospects for Avida this year as we aim to launch more projects in various strategic locations nationwide," said Christopher Maglanoc, Avida President. "All of this is part of our commitment as we diversify and expand our product offerings to create better lifestyle opportunities for our target market."

Power coming back to most homes after wind and rain storm
About 9,200 CenterPoint Energy customers were still without electricity at 9 a.m. Saturday, following Friday evening's storm.
CenterPoint crews worked through the night to restore power to affected homes and businesses and expect to finish the chore by late morning or early afternoon, spokeswoman Alicia Dixon said.
At the peak of the outages at 7 p.m. Friday, about 103,000 customers had no power, she said.
People who were still without lights on Saturday with damaged or downed power lines, requiring repair, Dixon said.
"The storm had a lot of lightning and strong winds, blowing trees and debris into our lines," she said.
According to the utility's online outage tracker, the areas with heaviest outages were in pockets west and north of the 610 West Loop and along a line running straight south to Texas 6.

I've made this recipe so many times, I thought it was about time I shared it. It's gorgeous – dense and tasty, and super easy to make (grating the carrots is the most time consuming bit).
- Preheat oven to 180 oC
The cake:
- 3 cups of finely grated carrot
- 1 and a 1/4 cups of sugar
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup orange juice (either juice oranges yourself or buy some nice organic orange juice)
- 3/4 cup oil (I used rapeseed, but any vegetable oil with a mild flavour is fine)
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- Mix together the carrot, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon
- Add the orange juice and oil
- Fold in the raisins and walnuts
- Grease a cake tin with a little oil (not needed if like me you use silicon bakeware)
- Pour batter into cake tin
- Bake in the oven for around 45 minutes or until a skewer jabbed in the middle comes out clean
And once the cake is out of the oven and is cooling, you need to make the icing:
- 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese (I use tofutti)
- 1/4 cup dairy free margarine (I use pure)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups of icing sugar
- Mix all the ingredients together. Either by hand with a big spoon, or with a food processor / hand-held blender
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the icing all over the top. Make sure the cake is totally cooled (you can put it in the fridge to speed this up), or the icing will melt all over the place! I may or may not have made that mistake before…
Here's one I made for my friend:

Another big shoe dropped in the continuing investigation of accounting irregularities at Computer Associates when former CEO Sanjay Kumar disclosed June 4 that he is leaving the company.
Its another indication that more weighty shoes are likely to come clunking down on Computer Associates International Inc.s headquarters as the investigation continues and federal investigators disclose what sort of litigation, prosecution or sanctions they may bring against the company.
After resigning as chairman and CEO in April, Kumar was invited to stay on as CAs chief software architect, an expression by the companys directors that they didnt hold him personally responsible for the accounting troubles that resulted in the firing of nine employees from CAs finance and legal departments.
It was also an expression of the respect the company had for Kumars influence with customers and shareholders and his contribution to the company.
But this gesture only delayed the inevitable. His decision to leave now is a wise one, but long overdue. CA can never really demonstrate that it has put its long history of accounting improprieties behind it until it severs all connections with the people at the top who actively or tacitly allowed these activities to continue unchecked.
Its another indication that CA is signaling to federal authorities that it is highly motivated to resolve the federal Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of the companys accounting practices.
Kumars sudden decision to leave the company altogether raises questions about what talks may be going behind the scenes between federal investigators and CAs board of directors.

Oxiracetam is part of the nootropic racetam family of supplements and offers nootropic effects. While there have been many studies preformed on Oxiracetam to see if the substance has any effect on slowing the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's, the most positive results have been seen in memory retention and an increase in learning abilities. Taking Oxiracetam capsules has been discovered to improve concentration and even help students obtain higher test scores.
Mechanism of Action
Oxiracetam capsules have similar effects to the related racetam class. As a racetam, these capsules have effects on the cholinergic and glutamatergic systems. It is believed that Oxiracetam capsules work on both AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors at a relatively equal rate. There are also some effects on the cholinergic system by stimulation of acetylcholine receptors.
One fact that has been known for some time is that Protein Kinase C (PKC) is associated with memory retention and cognitive skills. PKC is a membrane-bound protein that is extremely important to brain functions. Oxiracetam has been shown in laboratory tests to increase PKC in mice, thus enhancing their cognitive performance in clinical settings.
Oxiracetam capsules are absorbed through the digestive system at a rate of almost 82 percent. Approximately 5.3 percent of a standard dose of Oxiracetam penetrates the blood-brain barrier and has a direct effect on brain functions. The dosage found to be most effective is 800 mg twice a day with a concentration of 60 uM to 530 uM.
Potential Benefits
- May Strengthen Attention Span
- May Increases Cognitive Skills
- May Enhances Memory Ability
- May Help to Make You More Alert
- May Improve Overall Focus
Possible Side Effects
Oxiracetam capsules are considered to have very few side effects. While there have been plenty of studies performed that are designed to determine active dosages for Oxiracetam capsules, there has been very little indication of any negative effects from taking large doses versus smaller ones. Regardless, side effects can happen so keeping the dosage low is the safest precaution.
At this point, side effects such as headaches and nausea have been reported and, even when they have been reported, the side effects seem to be quite mild. But Oxiracetam is still a powerful nootropic and you should always consult with your doctor before taking it. Rare serious side effects like allergic reactions are possible and a user should carefully monitor this by taking small dosages to begin with. If serious side effects are noted, the user should discontinue consult a physician. Oxiracetam capsules can also interact with the drug, Carbamazepine, so caution should be taken there.
There are two avenues you can choose when it comes to stacking Oxiracetam capsules with other nootropics. You can stack Oxiracetam with other racetams. The "PAO" stack is very common which consists of: Piracetam, Aniracetam and Oxiracetam. This stack is reported to be very effective. Many also stack Oxiractam Capsules with a choline source like Alpha GPC, Citicoline or choline by itself.
Some also use Oxiracetam capsules in their energy stacks. Oxiracetam as well as Phenylpiracetam have been suggested to have very mild mental stimulant effects. Some people stack these two nootropics with sulbutiamine, taurine and caffeine to complete their nootropic energy stack.
If you want to possibly increase the cognitive effects of Oxiracetam, then stack it with another cognitive racetam such as Pramiracetam. Noopept may also be a great choice. A user can play around with the capsules and customize a stack that works best for them.
The Pros and Cons of Choosing Oxiracetam Capsules
Oxiracetam capsules make it much easier to get the proper dosage and benefit from the effects of this powerful nootropic. You will also find that utilizing capsules can make it easier to stack Oxiracetam with another nootropics because the dosages are already measured out for you. You can also avoid the nasty taste of Oxiracetam by using it in capsule form.
Oxiracetam can be expensive in powder form, but the capsules will add even more cost. Usually these extra costs equate to at least a 25% for 40% increase depending on the product. Aside from the cost concern, capsules still represent the most effective and efficient way to utilize the powerful nootropic.

Sources of Innovation
Innovation is a foundation of social change. It is the process of developing new methods or products to better facilitate how society operates. Whether it is a fundamental change, such as the internet, or incremental change, such as revisions to existing programs, innovations encompass sociocultural dimensions, which have the ability to manifest multifaceted and/or erratic ramifications. In turn, the intricate dynamics of innovation is what aids in its dismissal or implementation within society. Progression is crucial in order for society to develop, as well as prosper towards the future. Thus, what are the sources of innovation? This paper will depict innovation and its sources, as well as elucidate how the process of innovation is correlated with the progress of society, its' necessity, as well as how innovation diffuses throughout the world. Innovation
Harper & Leicht (2011) suggests, "Innovative action involves a linkage or fusion of two of more elements that have not been previously joined in just this fashion, so that the result is a qualitatively distinct whole" (pg. 232). Innovations are the outcome of collective ideas, or the missing element in everyday activities. The simple of act of independent brainstorming can conjure an idea that will revolutionize society. The Pillow Pet, for example, accumulated millions of dollars, after being exposed to the public. Impact Lab (2011) stated, "The idea for Pillow Pets dawned on Jennifer Telfer after watching her young sons smash down their stuffed animals in order to sleep on them like a pillow. So she set about creating stuffed animals that unfolded into plush pillows" (par. 6). Innovative ideas should gratify a particular need, as well as be priced so that everyday consumers can generally afford the product. Thus, let us explore the sources of innovation.
Sources of Innovation
The foundation of innovation habitually materializes through a process. Harper & Leicht (2011) stated innovation is a "four-phase process:
1. Perception of a problem, stimulated by unfulfilled needs and wants.
2. Setting the stage, in which a person assembles all the elements of a solution.
3. An act of insight, in which a new configuration of meaning appears.
4. Critical revision, in which an innovation is made workable in some context" (pg. 233). An individual foresees a need of society and contemplates how to rectify that need through a series of solutions. Once a person perceives a social problem, formulates a solution, and considers methods to repair the dilemma, the next phase is to think devise a system to make the product work. This is the most difficult aspect of the innovation process. While the innovative idea may be present, to design and allow the product to function properly may be difficult.
Peter Drucker, an authority on innovation, suggests that there are seven sources for innovative prospects: the unexpected, incongruity, innovation based on process need, changes in industry or market structure, demographics, changes in perception, mood, and meaning, and new knowledge (Hofstrand, 2010). The unexpected advancement refers to an unforeseen success or result from the original objective. A great example of this success generates from Pavlov's experiment with his dog's digestion. His original experiment was to explore his pets' saliva production; however, the dogs' reaction to specific stimuli led Pavlov to the development of classical conditioning.
Hofstrand (2010) states incongruity is "a discrepancy between reality and what everyone assumes it to be, or between what is and what ought to be, can create an innovative opportunity" (par. 4). Incongruity refers to something that is not necessarily needed; however, it is desirable. Robert Swaim (2011) states, " The inception of the "mini" steel mill is an example of successfully...

Qual-Pro was started in 1971 with a simple mission: Provide high-quality customer service to companies in need of electronics manufacturing services. Today, Qual-Pro continues that mission but with an expanded set of services. What was once a small shop primarily focused on testing electronics has grown to a company of more than 200 people on two continents offering an array of manufacturing services, including turnkey manufacturing and complete box-level assembly of mission critical electronics.
The company has transitioned to the second generation of the Shane family. Today, all four of Gerald's children own the company, three of them are active in the day to day business.
The bottom line is this: We are a family of dedicated manufacturing industry veterans and we know electronics manufacturing.

|via Spiral Nature
So, there's this thing about the Havamal Witches going around the interwebs. There's a great write-up covering the entire thing over at Spiral Nature and it's a really interesting discussion for the parallels it draws, but if it can be reduced to a simple statement it's this: women's voices are being marginalized in Heathen communities. I'm not a Heathen, so I really can't speculate on anything specific to Heathenism to explain why this is happening, but more generally it sure fits the ignorantly sexist pattern observed pretty much everywhere else: women aren't seen as having the same strength, authority, or wisdom as men; women are being interrupted and talked over because "the men know better;" and while the men do all the magic, ritual, and fighting, the women are being shown to their assigned place tending the homefires, watching the children, and cooking the meals.
The Havamal Witches debate is kind of amusing to me because there's decades of literature saying that although men and women have some obvious biological differences, when it comes to matters of the mind you can find men who are simpletons and women who are rocket scientists. And sure, you can also find women who are daft and men whose minds might never be matched, but no matter the emotional masturbation of the MRA's, PUA's, and garden-variety misogynists, men and women have the same potential for wisdom and genius.
Whether that potential is given the opportunity to develop is another discussion entirely, but as it relates to the topic of the conversation - which I promise is going to lead back to Satanism any moment now - men and women participating in religious communities are probably on the whole standing on equal footing in terms of their opportunity to develop their potential as people who understand and are capable of articulating and explaining their views. Some people are better educated and more capable than others, so they'll naturally gravitate toward the top of the hierarchy, but as far as the subject matter is concerned this isn't rocket science.
Regardless of their physical abilities, men and women who intellectually invest themselves into a study of their foundational documents are both fully capable of achieving the same strength of knowledge. So why in Heathen communities are women so regularly finding themselves dismissed by men who allegedly believe that they know best? Maybe it's because this is ignorant sexism that's been corporately accumulated either by accident or design, but the Havamal Witches debate is specific to the Heathen Community so I can't really answer for them.
I'm not even sure that I can offer an explanation based within my perspective as a Satanist. Owing largely to the insular and anti-collectivist culture of the Church of Satan, "community" has become a taboo word, and I think that's unfortunate. Satanism is a religion which embraces man-as-animal, so why such a push-back among Satanists against the human need for social interaction? It amuses me when Satanists rail against community yet see no hypocrisy in their participation with online groups for Satanists.
So yeah, owing largely to the hermetic culture of the Church of Satan, I don't have any good comparisons to the Havamal Witches. There are Satanists who'll say that there are no comparisons because Satanism just doesn't suffer the ignorance of sexism, but I don't believe in the myth of Satanic exceptionalism. Judging by many of the memes, essays, videos, and podcasts that I largely don't consume anymore, Satanism is no more immune to its preferred variety of ignorance than is any other religious organization to its own preferred variety of ignorance.
The canon literature of the Church of Satan is definitively against the ignorance of sexism, and the official news feed regularly features news items that easily demonstrate this, but I've observed a difference between the official position of the Church of Satan stated in the canon literature, and the personal expressions of Satanism from individual members. I've encountered Satanists who are just like the Christians whose individual practice is vastly different than what's actually taught in the Holy Bible.
The most notable example I can provide was an interaction I had with another Satanist regarding a Satanic YouTube show in which the hosts had what was apparently a serious discussion in which they explained that they don't call transgendered people by their preferred pronouns because they "haven't done anything to earn it."
The hosts of the show are surely welcome to interpret the 4th Satanic statement as they like, but I find it difficult to reconcile their stated position that they aren't going to address somebody by his or her preferred gender pronoun and then say that the CoS has since it's inception been inclusive toward all sexual and gender orientations.
Which is it? Are the hosts going by a hard interpretation of the 4th Satanic statement and waiting for people to transactionally prove their value in order to be called by their preferred gender pronoun? Or do the hosts actually accept the principled position set forth in the canon literature that they should be accepting of all sexual preferences and gender orientations? I feel like that's inconsistent and that those two positions can't be reconciled.
In conversation with the Satanist who evidently cared very deeply about showing me why he thought I was wrong, he backed up the hosts' position by saying "I don't give 2 shits what your preferred gender is and I am not going to respect it, either." In his mind, I think he thought that he was being totally fair by treating everybody like shit. Which is okay - if he thinks that's the best way to live his life, he's welcome to it. But treating everybody like shit isn't the same as accepting the gender-inclusive principles set forth in the canon literature of the Church of Satan.
The Satanist I was speaking with was firm in his opinion that gender pronouns don't matter and that it's rude for others to even discuss their preferences with him, so I just turned the tables and addressed him as if he were actually a woman: "I'm pretty sure you're a woman, and I know that the canon literature says that Satanism embraces all gender identities, but I really think you should work for it. See? Satanism is just a tool-kit, and I use whichever parts work for me. And I gotta say, you're really irritating me. Could you try to be more polite when you talk to me? You're not scoring much in the way of respect here, little lady."
The excerpt you see above is just one small part of an hours-long conversation played out in my Facebook inbox. To say that he missed the point is an understatement. The conversation was ultimately a massive waste of time and judging by his responses there was nothing I could do to persuade him to the position that in order to call oneself a Satanist, one must actually accept the fundamentals of Satanism which include gender-inclusive attitudes.
Satanism might not include any Havamal Witches, but it sure includes some bigoted Satanists. How much can I really do about this? I don't honestly know. What I do know is that I think that if members of the Church of Satan are going to get regularly triggered over the mere mention of the Satanic Temple and even the slightest hint of a discussion that there are other branches of Satanism, then they should adjust their internal selective outrage machine to trigger in response to sexist and gendered ignorance. Why do they fly off the handle in response to the Satanic Temple because it's allegedly "not Satanic," but not in response to sexism which is definitively not Satanic?
I think it's hypocritical to claim that Satanism (the religion) is open and accepting of all sexual preferences and gender identities, yet it's totally alright for a Satanist (the individual) to reserve the right to still argue in support of sexist ignorance. To my ears, that's hypocrisy, and I think it should be accused and opposed whenever it turns up.

I don't make resolutions at the start of each year. I know for many people that's a ritual, a way of motivating themselves to work out more, be more accessible, lose weight, shop less, be more loving. I don't have to motivate myself to do those things because they are a daily inspiration. Note I didn't say goal. Goal would imply I am trying to reach a point. I simply do. What I do realize though, is that no matter how great the intentions, some days one simply cannot be all things to all people or accomplish all that one expects. Some days one simply has To Be. My wish in this New Year is for you to decide who you want to be, even if that Read the rest of this entry »

If you haven't visited Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, CA in the past couple of years for top-notch winter sports, this may be the year to make it a planned vacation. The resort area is investing nearly $8 million in improvements this winter and next. The investment totals more than $46 million in year three of the resorts' five-year, $70 million renaissance. Money is being poured into new snow cats for smoother, carve-able slopes, a new Wanderlust yoga studio, Spruce, a new home furnishings store, and comprehensive room renovations at The Village at Squaw Valley, as well as new on-mountain and valley signage for increased way-finding and accessibility.

Well, here we are nearing the end of 2014. The Marlins have lost their star pitcher, and still they are battling. They are on this Saturday morning, Aug. 23, a mere (?!) four games out of a wild card spot. The playoffs remain a distant, shimmering dream, but still, as they start a crucial road trip, a fan can still have some interest.
What's happened? Stanton is having a great season, of course, but there's more. Yelich, 22, and Ozuna, 23, keep improving. So does Adeiny. I think that's the key. Salty ($6 million), Jones ($2.7 million) and McGehee ($1.1 million) have been improvements but they don't win a World Series. McGehee in particular seems to be reverting lately to his standard career stats, but it's interesting that he does well RISP and also hits into a ton of double plays -- indications that a lot of batters are getting on base before him.
What's more, the Marlins are doing all this even though their 2B hope, Furcal ($3.5 million), has been a bust, and they're still paying $4 million this year, according to some websites, to support Bell.
As of today, the Marlins are 6th in NL in runs scored (after being a miserable last most of last year), 5th in on-base percentage, 4th in walks and tied for 8th in home runs (while playing in a cavernous park). They're certainly NOT doing it with speed (14th in NL in stolen bases) or fielding (12th in NL in fielding percentage). Their pitchers are also 12th in ERA.
Next year, if Fernandez returns, if they keep Stanton, if they get a couple more pitchers, if ... if ... well, at least we're back to thinking of ifs -- a great improvement after last year's stultifying performance.

Hello lovelies. It's been a busy weekend and I have heaps of things to share following the Blogopolis conference which I attended along with 300 other bloggers on Saturday. But in the meantime, I wanted to share this little pearl with you.
Funny how when you read something it makes so much sense, however it usually takes a little prompt to do the obvious.
I've printed it out and I'm going to stick it up in my house to remind me that without the actual process of execution, my dream will never become a reality. If you need inspiration too, then you must read this story (which is where I got the quote from).
Happy Monday.

Watched the SBS show about Heston Blunenthal's move of his restaurant from England to Crown Casino with intermingled feelings of fascination and revulsion. The shows are hour-long advertainments for Crown, punctuated by ads for, yes, Crown. But the level of fussiness over food, the search for ever more bizarre incarnations of edibles in the name of culture, is a bit, well, stomach-turning. The insane fastidiousness even of table settings, not to mention the $525 price tag in a world where most people subsist on a dollar or two a day, is hard to abide. While one has admire him for his tenacity, creativity and hard work over the years, at this level of fastidiousness food becomes little more than high-end very conspicuous consumption and cult of celebrity.

I read an article the other day that almost made my head explode. For real. The premise: Could the editors shop at a big-box retailer (Target, Sears, Sports Authority, and others) and pull together a suitable running outfit for less than $100?
I guess if you have money coming out of your bum, you're allowed to waste.
The writer called the merchandise from some of the stores "scary" and was horrified by the prospect of running in basketball shorts without built-in underwear. Another disappointment: socks that were "too cottony." What?
I have approximately zero opinions on the cost of Rory's fly-fishing gear or his brother's scuba diving get-up, simply because I've never participated in either sport.
But I've been running since I was a 15-year-old high school sophomore—more than half my life. And while I can over-spend on plenty of things, I just can't see the need for super-pricey, fancy-pants running gear. And even if one runner must have the highest-high-tech $180 shoes—we're all allowed our splurges!—I really can't understand why someone would criticize the less-expensive stuff in the middle of a stinking recession. Hello?!
One of my most favorite things about running is that it's not an expensive, elitist sport. In my mind, all you need is a decent pair of sneakers—the newfangled T-shirt, compression tights, and light-up headgear I can do without.
Here I am, post-marathon. That tank was $5 from Forever 21 and the shorts are the $22 American Apparel ones favored by The Girls Next Door. (No built-in underwear here!) The sports bra? A hand-me-down from Petra, whose mom bought it for her in the wrong size!
I get that people don't want run in junky sneakers, but eventually, don't you stop paying for better function and start paying for unnecessary bells and whistles? And isn't running in less-than-awesome sneakers better than the alternative—um, not running?
What do you guys think? Have you ever bought the most expensive or newest workout gear just because it must be the best? And have you become less of a snob in the crap economy? (I sure have!)
Feeling fancy? Here are more high-price goods to ponder:
Wedding Flowers That Cost "an Embarrassing" Amount of Cash
Posh's $2,000,000 Birkin Bag Collection
A $150 Face Brush (Confession: I own it. I love it.)

New Mazda6 Retail Offer – An Irresistible Segment Upgrade Proposition
"Exclusive, spacious and luxurious, and with terrific road presence, the Mazda6 is a beautiful looking car. With monthly payments now akin to those of a smaller, less well equipped alternative, it offers customers a more premium executive option at a very competitive price." Peter Allibon, Mazda UK Sales Director.
Its striking good looks, premium build quality and comprehensive standard equipment specification combine with highly-competitive pricing and low running costs to award the Mazda6 a unique status in the C/D segment.
Indeed, reflecting the capture of an ever-increasing segment share by premium marques, the stunning Mazda6 out-sold several mainstream rivals in the retail channel in 2013, including the Ford Mondeo and Toyota Avensis.
As a result, despite an overall decline in the C/D segment, the Mazda6 continues to increase its retail share. Although the segment saw a 20 per cent year-on-year drop in retail sales to some 22,814 units in 2013, the Mazda6 actually increased its own share by 1.1 per cent to 9.5 per cent over the same period, representing healthy year-on-year growth of growth of 13 per cent.
Now, thanks to a new retail offer by which UK customers buying the Mazda6 could be entitled to a £1000 Mazda Finance Deposit Contribution towards both Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Conditional Sale agreements, that traditionally keen pricing has become even more competitive.
Whichever offer customers choose –Zero deposit with 0% APR* Representative PCP, 0% APR* Conditional Sale with 30% deposit or 5.9% APR* Conditional Sale, their monthly payments may be on a par with (or even lower than) those for a smaller, less well equipped alternative. For instance, based on a 42 month PCP with a £3000 customer deposit, a £1000 Mazda Finance Deposit Contribution and 0% APR, the £20,395 Mazda6 2.2-litre Saloon SKYACTIV-G petrol 145ps SE-L will cost from just £243.93 per month.
Available to retail customers from February 1st to March 31st 2014, this outstanding offer makes the Mazda6 an extremely attractive proposition to those who have not previously considered upgrading to a C/D segment vehicle.
"Mazda has always been very much a retail-focused manufacturer," said Mazda UK Sales Director Peter Allibon. "And this latest enhancement of our Mazda6 sales campaign now gives even more people the ability to own this fantastic car."
Great looking, with a peerless equipment specification and an outstanding balance of performance and low emissions, the premium executive Mazda6 is now greater value for money than ever before.
The 2014 Mazda6 range comprises 20 saloon and 16 tourer models with prices starting from £19,595 and £21,315 respectively (on-the-road). Depending on model, there is a choice of six equipment levels (SE, SE Nav, SE-L, SE-L Nav, Sport and Sport Nav), two petrol engines, two diesels and six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

Keep moving folks...unless you enjoy watching garbage..!
Not worth watching.
Terrible. Don't waste your money or your time. Terrible, awful movie. One of the worst ive seen in a long time.
ZERO Stars!! This movie is complete shit
A terrible waste of time, literally one of the worst movies ever made. If you are not a 16 year old girl you will hate it. I can't believe I wasted my money on it. I got sick to my stomach from all the shaky camera angles too, no plot, mo story, ridiculous ending. Just awful.
The worst "horror" movie I have EVER seen. A total waste of money! At the climax, the whole theatre was laughing at the stupidity of it, not even the slightest bit scary. I was 5 minutes away from leaving the theatre.
To those that are fans of this series: I loved this movie. I could argue that this is the best of the 5. Certainly part 4 was the worst. Creepier setting than the other films. More believable characters and set up. The Spanish dialogue adds to the authenticity of the found footage. This time it is a handheld digital camera with very few moments where you think, why are they not putting this camera down? So all that happens, happens live to the characters and gives them the opportunity to go over what they witnessed as opposed to other movies where WE see what happens before the characters know once they review their security cameras, etc. Ties in with the other movies. Gives more de
Not bad for this series. I think they are all mediocre but I am too curious (or nosey) to not watch them. If you liked the other two you should like this one.
was very Disappointed with it being the first one I saw....waste of money to go and see!
Loved this movie! Almost as good as the first one! A must see if you have followed the series from the beginning!
more action in this one compared to the others.
Okay movie.... Half of time they are speaking in Spanich(I think) without any subtitles... I only enjoyed this movie in brampton theatre because of all the drama queen black girls that come to theatre looking like they are going to club, act like they are UFC ring fighter and can't handle scary movie n shut scream at every second. Girls pay attention to the movie use ur brains so u know what is going on in the movie. P.S stop kicking the chair n calling your friends who just left to fight the popcorn boy!
Low budget movie. It is a copy cat movie making ideas from Blair Witch Movie. Some dialogues are in Spanish and not translated. Pictures are jerky most of the times that make you dizzy. Very disappointing movie. Save your money for other movies.
On par with the first three movies, but certainly a step above the fourth. Good scares
Good scares, a decent story, and more action than others in the series.

Eight-year-old Jesse Floyd walked slowly toward the line of waiting men, careful not to spill his precious cargo--a tray heaped with plates of red beans and rice, corn bread and salad.
With a smile, he eased the tray into the hands of an anxious man, then scurried through the crowd, back to the kitchen for another load.
"I want to help them," Jesse said, explaining his decision to forgo an evening of watching "Cosby" on TV to volunteer in his church's program to feed the homeless.
Like others at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, Jesse has grown accustomed to helping others in need. The 5,000-member church at 2270 S. Harvard Blvd. in Southwest Los Angeles has been active in virtually every area of social work with its more than 25 task forces.

I attended a 1850pt tournament this weekend at Gamers Sanctuary in Flint. This was the first time I had ever been to their location (being that it's nearly a two hour drive for me to get there!) and found it to be a great store. They have lots of tables and space to play and tons of support for many different gaming systems.
The tournament itself turned out to be a bit on the small side with only six players, but we played on and had a great time anyway! Something I found really surprising was the diversity of the armies represented. I was one of only two imperial armies in the tournament. The other was a Space Wolf army. The other four armies were all Xenos armies. We had two Ork armies, a Tau army and Necrons. Very cool!

The Death Company
So I was originally thinking about using the escalation league as motivation to build up and paint my Dark Eldar army. Instead, it seems I am having more fun running (and painting) my Death Company. It is actually an army I have wanted to do for some time now and have decided to use the league as the motivation to finally getting around to it. With that in mind I came up with this list.

Escalation League Pics
So the Battle Barn is teaming up with Alpha Omega Coffee and Games to run an Escalation League to kick off the new year. We are starting out at 500pts and will be building by 250pts every two weeks. The league is scheduled to run into March where it will culminate in a 1500pt tournament.
So Friday at the Barn was the first night of the league and I had my camera along to snap a few pics of the armies in attendance. So without further ado...

At the present time the need and importance of knives for everyday use and for the outdoors is needless to say. Same goes with the how to sharp knife at home for all the knife collectors and the people who are using them in their daily schedule. Everyone wants to know the best way to sharpen a knife with the best knife sharpener which they can use for both at the home and for outdoors.
For keeping your knives sharp and shining, you should choose the best knife sharpener according to the knives you might be using like the stainless steel knives, ceramic knives, kitchen knife set and many more. There is always a confusion that what are the various knife sharpening tools like knife sharpening stones, electric knife sharpeners, ceramic knife sharpeners, honing steel and the list goes on with the advent of new technologies.
Another aspect comes from the kitchen admin who really need to know how to sharpen kitchen knives at home. They want an easy to use sharpening knives which get sharpened efficiently and effectively with some sought of knife sharpeners.
Today I am here to list some professional knife sharpeners which will seek out the problem of how to sharpen knife.
Ceramic Knife Sharpeners
These ceramic knife sharpeners are very efficient in sharpening almost any type of knife, whether the kitchen knives or the tactical combat knives as well. Accusharp is the most famous brand which makes the best knife sharpeners and they are easy to carry in your bag as well. The accusharp reviews are very good in compliance with to be used by all the kitchen chefs. Some people also want to known how to sharpen pocket knife, for them these knife sharpeners are best to start with.
Sharpening Stones
These sharpening stones are used as a sharpening tool, not from today, but it has been used since many decades. These knife sharpener stones are perfect to sharpen all the knives except for the serrated blade knife which appropriate to get sharpened with it. These are also famous with the name of wet stones as well.
Electric knife sharpeners
There is another form of knife sharpeners which is an automatic version which makes the knife sharpening really fast and quick. But the same thing I can't say about the efficiency as the person handling the knife sharpener should be well trained before getting started.
Knife Hones
Knife Hones are quite similar to the Sharpening Steel as they cannot be used to sharpen a completely dull knife because they use steel and stone to take off a small amount of material from the blade. Knife hones come in different styles and sizes. These are perfect to be used for sharpening fixed blade knives. The knife hones are also used for sharpening serrated blade knives.

Volkswagen has released the first official photos of the all-new sixth generation Passat. The B6 (sixth generation B-class platform, also known as the PQ46) has grown larger in all dimensions, offers a range of new powerplants including an all-new 280hp 3.6l six-cylinder and has an overall more upscale appearance that continues the legacy that the B5 Passat leaves behind.
The Passat has grown in size with the sixth generation model to an overall length of 187.7 inches and a width of 71.7 inches. That brings the length up 2.5 inches and width a whopping 3 inches over the outgoing B5 Passat. We were given a sneak peak at the new B6 Passat several months ago and in the metal the new Passat has a bit of Audi A6 meets B5 Passat meets Chrysler 300M meets Phaeton. Proportions look great on the new car, especially the extra width which give the car a much better stance - the car actually looks much wider than these photos show it.The B6 Passat will be available with a 200hp 2.0l turbocharged 4-cylinder with FSI currently found in the GTI. This engine will replace the venerable 1.8T as the new base engine. The 2.0T FSI will be mated to either the MQ350 six-speed transmission or the butter-smooth Aisin built six-speed Tiptronic automatic. Also new to the Passat and unique to the U.S. market is an all-new 280hp 3.6l VR6 FSI that replaces the current 2.8l Audi V6. This new 3.6l VR6 model will only be sold in the U.S. market B6 Passat initially (Germany will get a 250hp 3.2l VR6 FSI) and will be available only with a six-speed tiptronic in either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations. Since the new B6 Passat utilizes Golf V component sharing (HVAC, engines, transmissions, etc., etc.) the B6 Passat has moved to a transverse engine layout which also means a switch from a Torsen-based AWD system to a Haldex-based AWD system.
The new Passat is also a recipient of the Golf V's vastly improved revised Macpherson strut front suspension and all-new full indepenent rear suspension. Coupled with a claimed 57% increase in torsional rigidity over the outgoing model, the new B6 Passat reportedly rides and handles wonderfully with virtually no dive, no squat and no roll even on base configurations.
Expect the B6 Passat to have a full compliment of standard and optional features including a new electronic parking brake system, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, optional DVD-based navigation system, Bluetooth support, all-new key system with no traditional cut key but rather a transmitter device that gets inserted into the dash and pushed to start. Pricing is expected to start around $24,000 and climb to around $38,000 fully loaded with AWD, HID, 280hp 3.6l VR6, navigation, leather and more.
The B6 Passat will be shown publicly at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2005 followed closely by the debut of the U.S. version at the New York Auto Show. The 2.0T FSI sedan will go on sale here in North America first in the 3rd quarter of 2005 (in dealers in August as of this writing) followed by the 3.6l VR6 sedan in October of 2005. The wagon will be a delayed introduction in February of 2006. Expect options to include both a sport line and a luxury line with aluminum trim, sport suspension and larger wheels on the sport line and wood trim and more luxury features going the luxury option route. Navigation and high-intensity discharge headlamps will also be available as an option so Volkswagen is addressing criticism from existing owners that options available on German cars aren't available on North American models. Overall the packaging and trim levels look very promising.

For some reason, I tend to witness very strange things here in Utah.
1.) Last year, while walking to class, I saw a clown walking through campus with two llamas. No one around me seemed at all bewildered, and most didn't even seem to notice. And yet, I stopped walking completely, gawked my head at a slightly tilted angle, and laughed very loudly. Then, people actually looked at me funny, as if I was more strange than the gang of circus freaks parading through campus!
2.) Today, I saw a penguin on the I-15 freeway. I know it sounds like a scene out of Billy Madison, but I really saw it. I even turned around and drove by it a second time. If it didn't appear to be dead (or in a very peaceful sleep, as I like to hope) I would have captured it and kept it as a pet inside my freezer.
It looked exactly like this one, only less lively.
Which brings me to the question, why would a penguin be in Utah? And on the freeway nonetheless? I think it escaped from the Hogle Zoo (I saw a bunch of these little cuties there merely weeks ago). It must have waddled its way down to the freeway, hoping to hitch a ride back to the North Pole. So sad, so strange. Poor little penguin. I hope you weren't a stuffed animal, or I will feel really stupid.

Wow! Your options have been significantly narrowed. The only thoughts I have: vegan chili; rice pilaf (w/out nuts, of course); vegetarian spring rolls (use tapioca flour wrappers); lots of different soups (vegetable broth based); some winter squash based items (like a nice butternut squash risotto, perhaps using a mushroom based broth and without cheese); perhaps a "meat" dish with substantial mushrooms substituted for the meat. Alternately, you might go with take-out from a local vegan restaurant (actually, not kidding - this combo is really hard). Or you can go tough-love and have one or two items that fully meet the above, and then only further accommodate those with true allergies/sensitivities (the picky kids get the choice to eat what you are offering or not; same for vegans/vegetarians -- however, taking care that nothing you offer includes "dairy, egg, sesame, lentil or nuts"). You can't be everything to everybody all the time; just isn't possible.
A glass of water. Or a restaurant. :-)
I wouldn't even try. Tell them to cook for you.
You could do tacos on corn tortillas with a variety of fillings for people to choose from. I had a vegan one this weekend that had tofu and kimchee, I've also had one with roasted eggplant or just black beans with radishes and pico. Here's a recipe of my own that I use for 4+ kids. It has meat but you could serve that separately for the meat eaters and offer some avocado and grilled tofu for the vegans. I've also served it with rice noodles as well. http://food52.com/recipes.... Quinoa pasta with a butternut squash sauce (or regular tomato) and a salad. Maybe offer some meat balls on the side. Good luck!
1) POT STUCK BRUSSELS SPROUTS http://food52.com/blog... with polenta
2) Guacamole Quinoa: http://food52.com/recipes...
3) Curry! http://food52.com/blog...
4) Veggie Burgers http://food52.com/blog... + gluten free buns, and maybe some sweet potato fries
4) Soba Noodles http://food52.com/blog... (make sure the variety of soba noodle you get it is gluten free, sub sesame/nut oils for vegetable oil) + fried tofu
When all else fails, make a giant pot of gluten free pasta with a ton of vegetables and beans
Bean chili: vegan, vegetarian, lentil-free, sesame and nut free, no gluten, and loved by kids: http://food52.com/recipes...
I'd make a bunch of great vegetable sides. I'm a vegetarian and personally prefer eating a bunch of sides as opposed to centering a meal around a main. I wish more people would think of meals this way. One of the two current contest finalists could be great. You could also do a sweet potato mash or something with squash. Sauteed cabbage. Quinoa is another great option. There are some great recipes on this site for all of the above. Don't think of yousf as being limited. There's a world of great produce out there waiting to take center stage.

Olympic champion Kulik withdraws from worldsMINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Olympic champion Ilya Kulik of Russia withdrew from the world figure skating championships on Saturday with a back injury.
No details of the injury were given, but Kulik missed the European championships earlier this year with back problems.
He was in perfect health at the Nagano Games, skating the most difficult technical program in Olympic history to win the gold medal.
Yevgeni Pluschenko, the 1997 world junior champion, replaces Kulik for the event that begins next week.
Kulik's withdrawal means all three men's medallists at Nagano will not be in Minneapolis.
Defending champ Elvis Stojko of Richmond Hill, Ont., has not recovered from a groin injury aggravated at the Olympics where he won silver. Bronze-medallist Philippe Candeloro of France has turned pro.
Also missing from worlds will be Olympic champion Tara Lipinski of the United States, who is out with a viral infection.
Two-time Olympic dance winners Pasha Grishuk and Yevgeny Platov of Russia have turned pro and will not add to their collection of four straight world titles.

Wow.I'm slightly embarrassed when I see the date of the last post. Well, I'm not going to lie it's been a tough month. I really needed some hope & the promise of good things to come...
and I found it, in the place I can almost always trust to be hopeful & inspiring: the garden.
I started a bunch of heirloom seeds way back in March and it seems like a loooong time coming but, the first signs of lots of veggies in the making are finally making an appearance.
This is a teeny tiny bud that soon will be producing one of my favorite scents...lavender!
Over here we have the first of many tiny cukes destined for salads & pickling
This (if it survives the nightly groundhog attacks!) will be a cosmos
The very first of my most treasured garden crop
Then there are 3 varieties of bush beans, green, wax & purple (!) They will make a show stopping bean salad. Yup, I called a bean salad show stopping. Just you wait...
Oh, and I've been dyeing lots & lots of yarn
Splendor by the dozen and a new addition that will be in my shop this week:
Hudson: a springy, silky, superwash Merino worsted weight. I love this yarn! I use it to teach my Hudson Valley Winter Socks class, an intro to sock making that uses worsted weight. I think it is a less scary proposition for first time sock makers to use "normal" sized needles instead of those "toothpicks".
Stay tuned for lots of new yarns being introduced for Fall, larger dyelots & patterns for all sorts of cozy knits....

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth. There are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree. If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son. Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5:1-12, NRSV)
Why did God give the people His laws?
As a burden to over come?
Rules to win His love?
Remember that God gave the Laws to the people after He said they were His chosen poeple. The Law is not a way to win God's favor. It is a guide to help us live as His chosen people.
The Law and the way He guides us is a gift to help us live the life He has prepared for us, not to hold us back or to give us something to overcome.
Live in the life He gave you as freedom not as burden.

Please note that this website has a UK government access keys system.
Patient and Public Involvement Forums (PPI Forums) existed in NHS trusts to help improve the quality of NHS services by bringing to trusts and PCTs the views and experiences of patients, their carers and families.
PPI Forums were established on 1 December 2003, with one forum in every NHS trust, NHS Foundation trust and PCT in England. Each forum identified its priorities, but their primary expectations were to:
- Monitor and review NHS delivery
- Seek the views of the public about those services
- Make recommendations to the NHS accordingly
Forums were set up and supported by the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health (CPPIH).
After a public consultation (A stronger local voice) a decision was taken to abolish PPI Forums. This was taken forward as part of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. Forums were abolished on 31st March 2008 and replaced by Local Involvement Networks (LINks)

This is what a slow news day looks like for Media Matters, the "progressive" media monitoring group who's made an industry out of caricaturing conservatism.
What kind of researching are they presenting today? The number of times that Fox News host Sean Hannity brings up President Barack Obama's conspiracy-prone, Anti-American former preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
According to Media Matters:
Sean Hannity — who claimed he "broke the story" about President Obama's controversial former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, during the 2008 campaign — has mentioned Wright on at least 45 different episodes of his Fox News show* since Obama's inauguration. Indeed, his repeated references to Wright — most recently in discussions about Obama and race relations in America — have prompted his own guests to comment, "You always want to bring up Reverend Wright," and "Sean, you need to get over it."
Media Matters invokes an appearance by Rich Lowry, editor of National Review on Hannity's program from July 29. They cite it as an example of an occasion in which Hannity has been rebuked by one of his conservative guests for bringing up Wright:
In a discussion about Gates with Lowry, Hannity said: "Look, this goes back, and I don't want to keep bringing up Reverend Wright, but I think it — I think it's relevant here. In as much as he sat in that church for 20 — " Lowry responded: "That's not true, Sean. You do want to bring up Reverend Wright. You always want to bring up Reverend Wright. Don't lie to the American people."
Media Matters — and the Left in general — always likes to wave around when conservatives disagree with one another. The only exception is when they're trying to claim that those on the Right behave like a bunch of drones that walk in lockstep behind the commands of "boss" Limbaugh, as MSNBC host Keith Olbermann loves to call him.
In this case Media Matters is actually half-right to criticize Hannity for invoking Wright so much. Media Matters is going after Hannity on this because he's bringing up Wright as a way of attack Obama. And to them any criticism of Obama is a mortal sin. So they'll unleash this nit-pickathon of a research post. This is the best "research" they can do with their time? Count the number of times Hannity mentions Rev. Wright? And I thought my old job as a collector was boring!
In one sense it is acceptable to nudge Hannity a bit on this. And the reason is this: the campaign is over. Hitting Obama with the Bill Ayers/Rev. Wright leftist radical stick doesn't accomplish much right now. Everyone's already heard this stuff and decided to buy it or ignore it. Now's the time to be focusing on much more challenging tasks than beating Obama the person. Namely: critiquing Obama's policies, coming up with effective counterproposals, and selling them to the American people. Hannity should do that and put away his leftist radical stick until 2012.

December 18, 2016: Texas Wins $5 Million Federal Grant to Combat Zika Virus
Governor Greg Abbott says Texas has won a $5 million Centers for Disease Control grant to combat the Zika virus
"In a statement Monday, December 12, Abbott said the money was awarded as part of supplemental Zika funding approved by Congress to increase preparedness and response efforts.
"Word of the grant comes three days after state health officials confirmed four more cases of Zika in Texas that were likely transmitted by mosquito bites.
"Florida is the only other state with locally spread Zika.
"Abbott said, 'This money will be crucial in our efforts to contain and combat further transmission.'
"He said the Texas Health Department has dedicated $18 million to fighting Zika and implementing a state preparedness plan — though counties are being required to cover many Zika-related costs themselves."

Sonnenblick, Distinguished University Professor and chief emeritus of the Division of Cardiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, died Sept. 22, 2007. Sonnenblick's classic experiments helped define the human heart as a self-renewing organ and not merely a pump, said Daniel Jones, M.D., American Heart Association president.
He called Sonnenblick "one of the world's foremost cardiologists and investigators, rightfully regarded as an icon in the history of cardiovascular medicine." The late cardiologist's discoveries "dramatically advanced understanding of cardiac muscle structure and function, thereby providing invaluable new weaponry for fighting heart disease," Jones said.
Jones presented the award during the American Heart Association's 2007 Scientific Sessions. Richard N. Kitsis, M.D., a colleague of Sonnenblick at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, accepted the award for him. "Dr. Sonnenblick's enlightened conceptualizations of the heart's cellular makeup and mechanics have been of enormous consequence," Jones said.
Sonnenblick and his colleagues documented that the heart has a reservoir of "highly plastic" stem cells that control its dynamic equilibrium and ability to generate new cardiac and vascular cell growth. His early work established the physiological parameters of left ventricular performance, and his historic studies included the first use of such now-familiar terms as "ejection fraction." Sonnenblick was a member of the Albert Einstein faculty since 1975.
