Indoor exhibits sometimes get overlooked during the summer, when outdoor activities and festivals take center stage. But taking in one of Grand Rapids' diverse exhibits is a great way to cool off on a hot day, dodge rain showers (since we're finally getting some!), or just slow down after a long day of outdoor play.
Here are three exhibits, going on right now, that will be over before you know it:

Sarkozy's Last Stand
France's choice now is more of the same or jump off the Socialist cliff.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy may be unpopular, but after Sunday's first round of voting he still has a chance for a second five-year term. This is more a tribute to the unreconstructed socialism of the French left than to Mr. Sarkozy, but he'll no doubt take it.
Mr. Sarkozy became the first incumbent French President to lose a first-round vote in the modern era, finishing second with some 26.7% of the vote as we went to press compared to 27.9% for Socialist Party nominee Francois Hollande. But the vote was close enough...

Customers ask me all the time where I come up with so many ideas for our menu. As a professional cook, I suffer less from how to do something than I do in deciding what to make. To me, cookbooks are a good source of ideas, not so much for the detail of a particular recipe on how to make a particular dish, but more by way of personal thoughts penned by the author, the relationship of certain ingredients and how they work together, and especially at times, photos showing a finished product. I learn as much when I can visually see a plate than in reading the recipe about it.
I consider cookbooks a type of indirect one-way conversation with another chef or writer. I don't have the chance to have a dialogue or ask a question, but I can at least hear what the author wants to say about his or her interest in a specific region, style of cuisine or time period. Below are a few that are on my counter in my professional kitchen upon which I turn on a regular basis for inspiration. I set them out front so you can peruse them if you like
Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn
Easily considered the Meat Bible, authoritative yet easy to digest. Ruhlman is described as a "translator of the craft" and it is a more than accurate depiction of his role as an author. Charcuterie is my latest obsession in the kitchen, and I've learned more about it from this book than any other source. Much like when I was teaching myself to bake bread five years ago, the discoveries I am making are in direct relation to this book.
The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century by Amanda Hesser
A hundred years of recipes, stories and histories of food as they were chronicled in the pages of The New York Times. It's a fascinating study of how our food habits have changed over the years, and through it we can glean from classic ideas that might still work in our kitchen today.
Charcuterie and French Pork Cookery by Jane Grigson
I like older books like these, first published in 1969, because often they reveal long standing techniques. Grigson speaks of French housewives who regularly made confits, sauccisons, and salt cured meats as a normal part daily cooking. Juxtapose this picture with our home kitchens today where normal cooking means tossing a frozen burrito in the microwave. Grigson reveals a lost art and practice that inspires a revisit.
Sauces: Classical and Contemporary Sauce Making by James Peterson

BP has certainly shone an international spotlight on British business, but no one is applauding. In the US, it has more than the loss of human life, livelihoods and tourism to answer for. And so do the government inspectors who allowed the corporation to put profit before safety.
If the criminal investigation of BP and those who signed off on the drill-site inspection sheets and safety assurances shows wilful fraud and deception, dereliction of duty, bribes or who knows what else, there is one additional set of criminal charges that should be added to the list: cruelty to animals. For this is the largest case of cruelty to animals in US history.
There is no shortage of photographs of the animals that have died and are still dying – slowly, painfully, drenched in oil. It is hard for anyone to see the gulls and pelicans, blinking up through a thick coat of muck that prevents them from flying, eating, taking a drink of water or escaping the burning heat along the Gulf coast. It is even too much to come across video that shows a huge rubber-gloved hand gently plucking a tiny crab out of a puddle of black glop. Only the outline of body tells you what it is, although its struggles tell you it is still alive. For the moment.
For most of the animals, any help is too late. It is suspected that even if wildlife rescuers contain a bird in time, before much oil damage has been done, the terror of being handled by a predator, of being force-fed, doused, scrubbed and rescrubbed, is too much for their pounding hearts to endure. Even if they survive the trauma of being cleaned and re-cleaned, most will likely die after their release.
One also has to ask: "Where can they be released?" Many birds mate for life; others are lost without their flocks. Their nesting and feeding grounds now lie under the oil slick, their friends and family are dead or dying. What is there for them to return to?
And what of the turtles, dolphins and, dare I write it, the whales? Cetacean experts do not expect whales to totally escape this slick. Once killed for their oil, will they now be killed by ours?
Whether or not BP is charged with cruelty, there are many things that we can do other than just pointing a finger. Some suggestions are to provide less support to oil companies by consuming less oil, to buy fewer plastic goods (the beaches of Hawaiian atolls are inches deep in discarded plastic that floats in from all over the world), and to follow recommendations issued by the UN this month by going vegan to save the waterways, forests and ozone layer.
Paul McCartney's Meat-Free Monday project is getting institutions and individuals to look at the environmental devastation caused by factory farming and to do something about it by reducing meat consumption. In taking responsibility, our new government would do well to announce that we, too, are to embrace at least that one baby step.
BP and the US government can never truly make amends with cash payouts. How do you "make it up" to those suffering and dying in agony out there at this very moment? But, before we look away from the photographs of the umpteenth oil-coated heron, let's do something positive and make some personal choices ourselves so that none of the oil companies can claim consumer demand as a reason for misbehaving. It's just a thought.

text: Lawson remembers one point in her childhood when her family kept a pet raccoon who, she says, was obsessed with washing things. "His name was Rambo, and he'd learned how to turn on the bathroom sink and would wash random things in it all the time, like it was his own private river," she wrote. "Once, we came home to find Rambo in the sink, washing a tiny sliver of soap that had been a new bath-size bar that morning. He looked exhausted, and like he wanted someone to stop him and put him to bed, but when we tried to take away the last bit of soap he growled at us, and so we let him finish, because at that point I guess it was like a vendetta, if raccoons had vendettas."

I really must protest in the strongest terms, the use of the carol Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, each Christmas. It is alarming that such content should be broadcast at all, but especially to young children—and, make no mistake—this carol is geared to our little ones.
At a time when provincial governments are introducing legislation to curb bullying, the behaviour of this gaggle of reindeer towards Rudolph is unconscionable. I have always understood reindeer to be gentle animals in need of preservation, but I'm not sure that's a good idea with this reported behaviour.
According to the record, it was simply his difference to them, namely his peculiar nose, which caused them to scorn and ostracise him. If the report is correct, the reindeer laughed at him and called him names, unacceptable behaviour at any time, but indecent at this time of peace and love.
As if that wasn't enough, they wouldn't let poor old Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Clearly, they considered him an outsider, conforming insufficiently to their traditions and company—he was not one of them at all.
Rudolph's stoic response stands out in clear contrast. We don't hear a word from him of censure or complaint, although I'm not sure whether his absence of retort was loving regard for his erstwhile brothers and sisters, refusing to respond in kind, or he was simply cowed into silence.
There is also no record of Santa Claus intervening. Didn't he know what was going on? If he chose to ignore it, he was complicit in the reindeers' actions. Perhaps the magnanimous old fellow didn't want to hurt their feelings, which wouldn't help his authority. Donner and Blitzen may now be laughing at him!
If he did sense some awkwardness among the reindeer, perhaps he thought elevating Rudolph to a place of prominence, befitting his nose, would solve the problem. It certainly changed the reindeers' appreciation of Rudolph, their behaviour changing from derision to adulation in a moment.
I can't help feeling that this sudden change in attitude might not last. What will happen when age reduces the brightness of Rudolph's nose and is no longer able to pierce the fog? Will Santa Claus abandon him again to the taunts of the others.
That idea may occur to Rudolph, but differently. Perhaps, if he can find a way to dull his nose—hide his light under a bushel, so to speak—the others would accept him after all. If so, he could teach us each a lesson for
caving, er, fitting in to the crowd. Which Way to go

Aims and Scope
The book presents a description of Unua, one of two dialects of Unua-Pangkumu, an Oceanic language of Malakula Island, Vanuatu. Unua has about 700 speakers who are bilinguals using Unua in local interactions and using the national language, Bislama, non-locally, as well as in local public and religious settings.
The description is based on material collected in the field from speakers of different age-groups in the five Unua villages. The data corpus includes a substantial body of material: contemporary translations of the New Testament gospels; audio-recorded transcribed and glossed texts; and elicited material collected with a range of speakers. The analysis includes comparisons with other Malakula languages and is both of typological and historical-comparative interest. The data documentation is substantial and detailed.

Legislation would curb abusive ADA lawsuits
"We need to apply some common sense here."
That was state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg after the upper chamber in Sacramento unanimously passed a bill that begins to address predatory lawsuits filed in California under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act.
Co-sponsored by Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga (San Bernardino County), SB1186 would do three things:
-- Ban so-called drive-by plaintiffs and their attorneys from sending "settlement demand" letters with dollar amounts to small businesses under threat of a lawsuit alleging a violation of the ADA.
-- Require that a written notice of a "construction-related accessibility violation" be sent to a small-business owner or building landlord at least 30 days before a suit can be filed.
-- Have commercial landlords inform small-business tenants whether their buildings are state-certified as ADA-compliant.
Now comes the hard part, Steinberg acknowledged, saying the bill is best considered "a work in progress."
'False claims'
"I am concerned that the current version of the bill does not address the hundreds of false claims, which have been made in these cases, or create accountability for those who have been subject to them," said David Peters, a San Diego attorney who heads the advocacy group Lawyers Against Lawsuit Abuse.
"I'm further concerned that it might do little to address the growing problem of claimants seeking multiples of the $4,000 minimum financial damages currently provided" by California law, he said.
One of the most contentious issues probably will revolve around a "right-to-cure" period - a set time to allow a small-business owner to fix a violation before facing a lawsuit. In the original bill, introduced by Dutton, which didn't make it out of committee, the term was set at 120 days.
There is no right-to-cure language in the revised bill, but in a letter to Steinberg this month, Disability Rights California advocacy director Margaret Johnson called the 30-day notice requirement "a substantial infringement on the civil rights of people with disabilities."
The bill "singles out people with disabilities, alone among all groups with civil rights protections, to jump through legal hoops before being able to have their civil rights violations addressed," said Johnson, who also chairs the California Commission on Disability Access.
Referring to the 3o-day provision after the bill was passed on Tuesday, Steinberg countered, "If a problem is a technical violation but doesn't actually impede access, businesses should have the chance to fix it without the threat of a lawsuit."
However this "very sensitive issue," among others, will be taken up when Steinberg and Dutton convene meetings with stakeholders, including small-business owners and disability rights advocates, over the next few weeks.
"We'll want to explore whether there's a difference between a violation of the civil rights law and a violation of the building code that does not impede access," said Steinberg.
Rather than including a right-to-cure provision, which disability rights activists have strongly objected to, Steinberg said he'd rather frame a time dispensation for small-business owners to address a violation as "a duty to fix."
"There needs to be common sense here. We need to stop the undermining of the law by those who are abusing it," he said.
So far, there seems to be little let up in the number of ADA suits being filed. Last month, six businesses along Grant Avenue in San Francisco were hit, according to the San Francisco Examiner.
Deadline looms
The Assembly has yet to take up the measure, and the Legislature, along with the outside stakeholders, have just 90 days to reach a meeting of the minds before the session ends for the year.
But clearly there's movement, prompted in part by the intervention of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who wrote to Steinberg in March condemning the "shakedown" tactics and "abusive lawsuits" connected with ADA compliance, and threatening to introduce federal legislation if the state doesn't act to curb the practices.
Despite her concerns, Johnson has had conversations with Feinstein's staff and "we remain willing to work with the authors and stakeholders to resolve concerns with this bill."
"It sticks in disabled people's craw that there are plaintiffs and lawyers who are just in it for the money, but nothing gets fixed," she told me last month.

How do furnaces work? Most homeowners would simply answer this question by saying furnaces work by keeping them warm. True enough; a furnace's main function is to keep you warm during the brutal Canadian winters. However, there is more to the actual process of keeping you warm than just magically converting chilly air to something warm and comforting. Because furnace repairs are inevitable, it becomes important for every homeowner to understand how furnaces work. By having a general idea of how the process goes, it gives every homeowner a step ahead in case something in the system isn't working right.
Looking for furnace repair in Winnipeg, Manitoba? Check out http://bulldogheating.com/furnace-repair-winnipeg.
What Thermostats Do
A thermostat is what signals your furnace to kick in and do its heating job. The thermostat works by recognizing if the temperature in the home has dipped to a certain degree and provides the go signal for the furnace to start the heating process. The most popular type of thermostats today is the programmable kind. This small device can be set up to automatically heat up the home when people are in the house and turn the temperature down when nobody is around. The common problem that most homeowners encounter with thermostats includes a faulty thermostat that doesn't send any signal for the heater to work or when the thermostat isn't reading the temperature correctly which keeps the furnace running all the time and drive up your utility bills.
The Process of Sucking In Air
When the thermostat sends in the signal for the furnace to start the heating process, the furnace actually requires air to get the process started. The furnace fan sucks in the air from the room or outside to create combustion airflow. When the airflow is sufficient, the air gets heated. There is a standing debate as to the better source of air. Some say that sucking the air from outside brings in a healthier and more pure air as compared to the air from a damp utility room or an unfinished basement. Others say that the winter air temperature can be too much for a furnace and so it creates a heavier workload for your heating system. Either way, the air drawn in still goes through a number of processes that create a final product of air that is pure and warm.
Gas Valve Opens / Ignitor Engages
One of the most common areas prone to furnace repair happens within the gas valves and the ignitor. When the fan is able to draw in a sufficient amount of airflow for combustion, the gas valve opens releasing gas to the burners where the ignitor generates a steady blaze. Old furnaces work just like how gas stoves do making use of a pilot light instead of an ingnitor to ignite the gas when it's turned on. The problem with the pilot light is that it often goes out and would again require to be lit back up. On the other hand, the modern furnace units usually feature an ignitor that automatically turns off as soon as it detects flame.
Air is Blown Over Heat Exchanger
When the furnace burners are set ablaze, the air is pushed over to the heat exchanger by the blower motor. The heat exchanger does the function of taking out the cold from the air and making sure that the air is warm enough before it gets pushed through the ducts and the vents. The furnace will continue generating warm air until either the preset time is completed or the thermostat recognizes the temperature suitable for your heating needs. You can force the heating process by cranking the temperature up; however, this can put some pressure on your furnace and eventually cause it to prematurely malfunction.
Gas Valve Turns Off and Blower Motor Cools Off Heat Exchanger
When the room temperature reached the level that the thermostat has set, the thermostat signals for the process to shutdown. This process involves turning off the gas valves while the blower motor works to cool off the heat exchanger until it completely shuts down while it waits for another signal from the thermostat to start another heating process. Heat exchangers play quite a huge role in getting the heating process completed so they are always in constant pressure especially during the viciously cold winters. It is also for this reason that heat exchangers are likely to go through a number of repairs throughout your furnace's lifespan.
They say, 'knowing is half the battle'. The other half may not necessarily mean you are now qualified to do some serious furnace repairs after understanding how furnaces work. The fact that you are now aware of the tedious process that your furnace goes through every time you require heat for your home makes it easier for you to make a somewhat accurate diagnosis of your heating system's current situation and make a reasonable decision in terms of the resolution that your unit necessitates.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
European Union leaders are today expected to adopt tougher sanctions against Iran in a further effort to stall its nuclear program. The EU sanctions follow the Obama administration's expansion of sanctions to target Iran's nuclear and missile programs, state-controlled banks, companies accused of supporting proliferation activities, and the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Both the EU and US sanctions go further than those adopted by the United Nations Security Council resolution June 9.
That fourth round of UN-approved sanctions was watered down to gain support from China and Russia. The intent is to punish Tehran for planning to enrich uranium to 20 percent by disrupting the money flow to Iran's Revolutionary Guard. It called for an asset freeze on 40 companies and organizations involved in nuclear or ballistic missile activities.
According to the Associated Press, the new EU measures "will target Iran's oil industry, shipping and air cargo companies, and dual-use products that could be utilized as part of the nuclear program. More sanctions will also be imposed on trade insurance and financial transactions."
Given the differing interests of EU member states, deciding which new sanctions to impose on Iran was a challenge, particularly since new measures will hurt European companies keen to invest in Iran's oil and gas sector, the Guardian reported:
Despite objections from Sweden – which argues against sanctions as an effective foreign policy tool – reservations from Spain and Cyprus, and, crucially, reluctance in Germany, whose businesses are heavily engaged in the Iranian energy sector, the EU declaration calls for extra sanctions over and above those agreed in New York last week….
German industry has been strongly involved in the energy sector, and Berlin, wary of imposing the sanctions, argued that it would simply forfeit the business, which would go to China instead.
According to the European Voice, a Brussels-based weekly newspaper, the EU maintains that the option of nuclear talks with Tehran remain open. The paper quotes an EU diplomat as saying, "sanctions are not a punishment but a means to change behaviour."
Iran, however, has already dismissed the tougher EU sanctions, reported Reuters.
"The carrot and stick policy of the EU is wrong and illogical because such measures would not resolve the issue [Iran's nuclear row with the West]," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told a weekly news conference….
"Sanctions will not stop Iran's nuclear work. Sanctions will make us more decisive to become self-sufficient," Mehmanparast said.
The EU sanctions follow moves by the US on Wednesday to widen sanctions against Iran's banking, energy, and military sectors, reports The Wall Street Journal. The state-owned Post Bank of Iran became the sixteenth Iranian bank to be cut off from the international financial system. More specific sanctions target the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which oversees a majority of Tehran's weapons programs.
Among those sanctioned were the IRGC's commander, Mohammad Ali Jafari, and Mohammed Reza Naqdi, the head of the Revolutionary Guard's nationwide paramilitary organization, the Basij Resistance Force. Both entities are alleged by US and European officials and by Iranian dissidents to have played a leading role in suppressing anti regime demonstrators who protested Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election a year ago.
US officials said the measures also are aimed at cutting off the IRGC's funding abilities. Two companies designated Wednesday are subsidiaries of Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters, a holding company believed to generate significant funds for the IRGC through its construction, telecommunications and engineering lines.
The Journal says that US allies in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia will also follow with additional sanctions in the coming weeks.
According to McClatchy, Iran's FARS news agency reported Wednesday that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned of retaliation if these tougher sanctions are enforced.
Ali Larijani, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, also threatened to disrupt shipping lanes in the Gulf in response, reports the Telegraph.
[Larijani] said Iranian forces would not allow "bullying powers" to police its sea-borne trade. He said: "We warn the US and some adventurist countries that should they be tempted to inspect consignment of Iranian planes and ships, they should rest assured that we will reciprocate [against] their ships in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea."
As the latest round of UN Security Council sanctions appeared increasingly inevitable, Iran fought back with devil-may-care rhetoric—as well as frenetic diplomacy aimed at finding more friends, The Christian Science Monitor reported. Iran may finally be at a tipping point.
"Iran is losing Russia, China, and all those countries that matter," an Iranian journalist told the Monitor. "Its dollars can no longer buy political credit [because of] the great isolation it faces…. This has brought great, and visible, fear to Iranian officials."

So ends the story of the memorable events which gave three new names to the list of Ireland's martyrs; so closes the sad and thrilling record which tells how Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien died. Over the neglected plot in which their calcined remains are lying no stone stands inscribed with their names—no emblem to symbolize their religion or their nationality. But to that gloomy spot the hearts of the Irish people will ever turn with affectionate remembrance; and the day will never come when, in this the land that bore them, the brave men whose ashes repose within it will be forgotten.

There was wild commotion among the Irish people in America, when, on the 6th of March, 1867, the Atlantic cable flashed across to them the news that on the previous night the Fenian circles, from Louth to Kerry, had turned out in arms, and commenced the long promised rebellion. It was news to send a thrill of excitement through every Irish heart—to fire the blood of the zealous men, who for years had been working to bring the Irish question to this issue; and news to cause profound and anxious thought to that large class of Irishmen who, deeply occupied with commercial and professional pursuits, are less energetic than the members of the Fenian Brotherhood in their political action, but who scarcely differ from them in principle. It was, for all who had Irish blood in their veins and Irish sympathies in their hearts, a serious consideration that once again the banner of insurrection against English rule had been unfurled in Ireland, and that on many a spot of Irish earth the organized forces of England were in conflict with the hastily collected, ill-supplied, and almost unarmed levies of Irish patriotism.
The question whether the cause of Ireland would be advantaged or injured by the struggle and its inevitable results, was differently answered by different minds. Some saw in the conflict nothing but defeat and suffering for the country—more, gyves and chains—more, sorrow and humiliation for her sons, and a fresh triumph for the proud and boastful power of England. Others, while only too well convinced that the suppression of the insurrectionary movement was sure to be speedily accomplished, viewed the position with a certain fierce and stern satisfaction, and discerned therein the germ of high hopes for the future.
But to certain of the Fenian leaders and Fenian circles in America, the news came with a pressing and a peculiar interest. They were largely responsible for the outbreak; the war was, in a manner, their war. Their late head-centre, James Stephens, was chargeable with it only in a certain degree. He had promised to initiate the struggle before the 1st of January of that year. Conscious that his veracity was regarded in somewhat of a dubious light by many of his followers, he reiterated the declaration with

To prove to her I told her I wanted to do an unboxing video to see what's in the box. I had a pretty good idea what it was but why not make it into a production. Check out the video below.
So as I expected it turned out to be the RS Owner's kit from Ford. Frankly I didn't expect to get this because I was under the assumption that the owners kit only went to first year model owners but I guess not. As I explain in the video I find this all a little confusing. I bought the RS as a daily driver. The special car is my Shelby GT500 that lives in the garage but it never came with any Owner's Kit. Also the Ford is cancelling production of the Focus RS in 2018 so there will be only 3 years of RS in North America. I'm starting to wonder if I'm pampering the wrong car.
Anyway the kit was pretty cool. Came with a bunch of nice documentation including a glossy with my car's VIN. It came with a Blu ray about what makes the RS special, and also a weird gearshift knob trophy plaque thing. I was a little disappointed with that. I mean what the hell do you do with that? I was hoping it was instead a die cast Focus RS. Overall it was really nice to get it and also nice to show Julia that I didn't order more parts. One argument won at least.

The April 2004 issue of Sys Admin magazine features an article I wrote titled "Integrating the Network Security Monitoring Model." Sys Admin summarizes it by saying: "This article examines intrusion detection through an operational model called network security monitoring (NSM). Bejtlich explains NSM theory and introduces several tools to integrate NSM concepts into existing systems." I imagine the April issue will be on newstands within the next few weeks.
After the article has been in print for a while, I will make a copy available in .pdf form at www.taosecurity.com.
I am still working on upgrading the Sguil installation procedure to use MySQL 4.0.x (probably 4.0.18), along with the newest versions of several of its Tcl components. I'd really like to include a release version of the new Barnyard as well.

What is not typical, of course, are the memories of our stress and worry throughout the pregnancy and beyond. What is this new girl baby was the same as Charlie? What is she was worse? All of our fears seemingly confirmed on day 10 of life, with a 'not normal' echo result. That first month was brutal. To have a sick child we weren't expecting was one thing. To have brought a possibly sick(er) child into the world knowing the risks would have been worse.
As it turned out, though, everything was fine. Fast forward a few months and Elizabeth was growing, eating like a horse, healthy heart and happy face. While she techincally has DCM genetically, those genetics are such a grey area that they shouldn't even be a consdieration. She is on a preventative dose of a simple medication three times a day, and will hopefully come off that with no ill effects as of May of this year. Her heart is normal. She is 'normal'.
We lucked out, plain and simple. Charlie recovered and Elizabeth is perfect. For people who at one time felt like we couldn't have much else go wrong, it has all gone so, so right. So today is a day of gratitude, more than anything else. I simply could not love them more.

VV Brown – Live at the Hiro Ballroom
Photos by G.
On February 17, 2010, British singer VV Brown made her New York live debut at the Hiro Ballroom. Â Her music can definitely be described as the answer to the mathematical equation: Amy Winehouse + Duffy / Estelle. Â For those who have no idea what I am talking about, her music has that throwback to the 60s girl groups sound, mixed with a little rock and reggae. Â Her debut album, Travelling Like The Light, was released in 2009 on the Universal label to much success overseas, but as usual, the United States is a little bit late to the game. Â In the new decade, the label is giving her a big push (by way of song product placement in shows such as Desperate Housewives and CSI: New York) and it seems their efforts are paying off in a big way. Â She's pretty, she's talented and she knows how to charm a crowd. Â According2g, VV Brown is going to be a huge success.

Texas grain farmers will have an opportunity this fall to protect themselves against elevators, feedlots, and other grain buyers that declare bankruptcy, go out of business or fail to pay for delivered grain for other reasons.
A grain indemnity fund referendum, scheduled Nov. 19 through Dec. 7, if approved, would protect grain producers from losses when delivered grain is not paid for, says Dee Vaughan, a Dumas, Texas, grain producer and chairman of the nine-member indemnity fund board.
"We think the referendum has a good chance of passing," Vaughan says. "Most producers see the need and understand the risk associated with selling grain. We take our crops to market after we've put all the production expenses in, including harvest costs, and hope we get paid. Most of the time, the process works. But we've seen instances when problems occurred and the result was devastating."
Vaughan says the indemnity fund has created some confusion among grain farmers as to how the program will work. "We're doing education through our website and going to the main farm shows and field days. We will continue to do that."
He says educational materials also are available through the grain associations and the Texas Farm Bureau.
"The biggest challenge, other than confusion," Vaughan says, "may be complacency. Folks have dealt with the same elevator for years and have had no problems. But producers had those same feelings for facilities that eventually did have trouble."
He says the fund is an insurance policy for grain farmers that he hopes no one will ever need.
"A unique part of this program is a refund mechanism," he says. "It's built in. Where else can you buy insurance and get a full refund?"
Each year, producers pay an assessment into the fund. After the fund reaches a minimum balance, refunds may be made to farmers who have claimed them. "It's based on first claim in," Vaughan says. "We can't promise when refunds will occur — it depends on the size of a particular crop and the price of grain." A minimum balance is required to cover losses.
The fund will cover 90 percent of a grain producer's losses. A 10 percent deductible adds some risk to the producer "to encourage that they do business with respectable companies."
TDA Oversight
The fund is administered by the nine-member board with Texas Department of Agriculture oversight. "The board assures that the fund operates strictly in accordance with the legislation," Vaughan said. Financial safeguards also will be in place, including investment only in approved funds with full backing of the state or federal government. "A CPA audit will be conducted every year."
The process of establishing the indemnity fund began in September 2010, with commodity groups meeting to discuss the vulnerability of grain farmersafter a series of grain buyer financial failures resulted in millions of dollars in losses to Texas grain producers.
"Rep. Larry Phillips of Sherman and Sen. Craig Estes of Wichita Falls introduced the legislation," Vaughan says. "It passed the House with only two dissenting votes, and passed the Senate unanimously."
All grain commodity groups are on board, he says. "They realize it's a good program.
"The indemnity fund does require some responsibility from producers, who must make certain that the assessment is collected and paid into the fund by the grain buyer. If the assessment is not collected and put into the fund, the farmer has no protection for sold grain. Farmers have to take care of business."
Vaughan says the state has also strengthened laws for warehouses and elevators.
The assessment will range from 2/10 to 6/10 the value of grain when sold. "That assessment is set every year by the board to meet fund needs. We will set it as low as possible."

But they are sure that I shall go to hell when I die if I do not walk their chosen path.
They tell me you shall inflict terrible punishment on me if I do not obey.
Where shall I seek heaven, when you are everywhere;
Verily this world becomes hell when I don't see you here.
Lord! I am not schooled enough to be afraid of you.
I utter your name in joy as a child calls its mother purposelessly.
I do not desire to barter a life in heaven with your place in my heart, dear friend.
I seek no forgiveness for my sins my Lord!
I want nothing in return as there is nothing I own.
What can I give you, the one who created the worlds; Even these thoughts belong to you.
In the moments of silent solitude, you show me glimpses of your majestic vastness.
Yet, in a childish attempt, I sing your glory like a lamp in the sun.
I wonder if this offering colored with prejudice, wickedness and coldness of heart is worth a place in your home.
Smiling innocently you whisper that this world is in your home and tell me to move on feeling your presence in every step of this journey.

Tim Wakefield decided to call it a career on Friday. However, there was no shortage of interest in the knuckleballer before he made his announcement.
Wakefield turned down four contract offers, including one guaranteed major league offer, in order to either return to Red Sox or retire, WEEI.com's Alex Speier reports. Wakefield's agent, Barry Meister, revealed such to Speier.
"I said, 'Do you want me to play the agent game, the what-if game, and find out what they want to offer? I know that one wants to offer you a major league contract,'" Meister said of his conversation with Wakefield. "He said, 'No. I'm going to retire as a Red Sox one way or the other.'"
Wakefield spent 17 seasons in Boston after playing his first two seasons in Pittsburgh. He announced his retirement on Friday, and he's made it clear that he never wanted to play for any other team after arriving in Boston in 1995.

Pipo C2 is a smartwatch that is on sale with a price tag of just 35 dollars. This makes it the cheapest branded smartwatch available in the market right now. Pipo C2 is thankfully not cheap on features as it can be used as stand alone phone that can makes calls and send messages.
Pipo C2 can also pair with your smartphone allowing you to remotely control functions of our mobile and playback of multimedia content in laptops. The dial is detachable from its fake leather strap which opens the possibilities of mixing and matching different straps.
It is compatible with android but there is no word if it works with windows phone.

Nov 14, 2007
Yesterday'sbig newswas of the next big 360 dashboard update seeing the launch of original Xbox games as downloads on Xbox Live, but out of the seven initial games announced for the service, five have known problems running on the new hardware.
Just like when you slip an old Xbox game disc into your Xbox 360, the games will run using software emulation which, by its very nature, causes all sorts of problems. Microsoft has already documented these known issues ahead of the big December 4 launch.
Halo suffers from "very mild frame rate drops", so that's not so bad. Crimson Skies crashes if you select certain options such as the demos and trailers within the game, and some text goes missing.
Texture and sound issues haunt Fable, while Psychonauts will throw a wobbly if PAL users with HDMI outputs are running 720p. Only 1080i and 1080p modes are supported.
A full run-down of known issues can be found on the official site.
We expect that none of these issues will ruin the games for anyone, but we hope they're faults that can be ironed out in coming months.


text: Leave a gift in your Will "Today there are many charitable appeals - all for good causes but I regard Motivation as 'extra special'. With a legacy in place, I have the satisfaction to know that something is reserved for Motivation." Charles, Motivation supporter Charles was introduced to Motivation after sponsoring his niece to climb Kilimanjaro. Learning about the charity, he felt compelled to leave a gift in his Will. In his own words he explains why… I read about the campaign to restore mobility by providing wheelchairs for disabled adults and children in countries where the living is difficult and not much help available. I was intrigued and attracted by the emphasis on having expert design with maximum use of available materials. A good idea, well planned, worthy of support - I felt I wanted to help. Planning our next 25 years When Motivation began we set out with just one simple question: what if wheelchairs could be better? With the support of people like Charles we have shown the world that with the right wheelchair and support, even the poorest and most vulnerable can lead full, healthy and productive lives. But now we face a new set of challenges. Ageing populations, growing conflicts and rising numbers with chronic health conditions mean that more people than ever will need our support in the years to come. We plan to be there for them and we hope you will too and may consider leaving a gift to Motivation in your Will. This might not be your priority at the moment but perhaps, when the time is right, like Charles, you'll think of us when you are planning for the future, so that we can plan for ours. This could benefit us in so many ways, from supporting the development of a new generation of wheelchairs, to working with schools in Africa to make them more accessible for disabled children. Or just as importantly, it could help us keep the wheels on the head office operation, which co-ordinates and manages the whole operation from the UK. Your choice Regardless of the size of gift, your contribution can make a difference, and will be used in accordance with your wishes.

So, by the time I stepped into the apartment, it was very late. But what greeted me was a sight for sore eyes (in the positive sense).
|Living room with two sofa beds
Of course, I'd already seen photos of the apartment before I booked it, but sometimes, the real picture doesn't match the official photos, but this time, they do; perhaps the reality is even better.
As you can see from the photos, it's a modern apartment, very elegantly decorated, clean and spacious. The two sofas double as beds - no need for cumbersome pull-outs here (I hate those because they're almost always so awkward that once they're pulled out, they stay that way, eating up the living space); just remove the covers, and the sofas are ready to be used as beds. The sheets underneath the covers were black. Cool.
Lighting was soft, but sufficiently bright. During the day, there are two large windows (to the left of the photo above), letting in daylight and looking out to the rooftops of Santiago. You can catch a glimpse of the Cathedral, which is a mere 3-minute walk away.
|Rooftops of Santiago
There's a cabinet along one wall, with wines, pretty serviettes, etc, should you decide to have a little dinner party! Beside one of the sofas, there's a stack of four ornamental antique-looking suitcases. I didn't open them so I don't know if they hold some secret belongings!
|Stored secrets...
The kitchen and the bathroom are fully equipped with just about everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including candles! The Spanish being coffee drinkers, once again, a kettle and teapot were sorely missed. Sorry, but I don't have any photos of neither the kitchen nor the bathroom.
The bedroom is large, with ample storage for your clothes, but do be careful with the bed, especially if you're as clumsy as I am! The bed is wider than the mattress and the covers drape over the whole bed, so, if you're orientating yourself to the mattress, you may get an unpleasant surprise - walk around it carefully!
|All tastefully decorated.
The inclined roof reminds you that you're in an attic, but otherwise, you won't notice it as the roof is quite high. The window prevents any claustrophobic feeling you may get, but it leads to an empty space whose floor is, I believe, the roof of a similar room in the apartment below. There's no light coming in through here, but there is a plant. If you look carefully above the window, what you see is actually a pull-out washing line. Shame that there's no sunlight here, but there is a superduper techno fan, which I had to use to dry our clothes.
Jesús and Mark live on the 2nd floor - the apartment is on the 3rd - so if you have any problems, they can be reached quickly. We didn't have any, really. There was a slight one, actually. Mark came to check that we had everything we needed and I told him that there were two bottles of shower gel, but no shampoo. He brought one up immediately.
Everything about the apartment is fabulous. It may get a little noisy, but close the windows and you won't hear a thing. Internet connection is powerful, and there are plenty of sockets. Location is perfect, smack in the heart of the old city. It's really a home away from home and if I went back, this would definitely be on top of my list.
Jesús's apartment is listed on AirBnB. If you're not registered with them, use this link

County will save on insurance bill
Washington County will save about $55,000 next year on insurance it pays for the Washington County Fire and Rescue Association.
The insurance bid dropped from $322,816 this calendar year to $268,284 next year.
The contract was awarded to Selective Insurance Co.
Human Resources Director Alan Davis praised county insurance coordinator Annajean Bitner for her work in reducing insurance costs for the county.
Bitner said the savings resulted in part from fewer worker's compensation and other claims made by county fire companies.
County Administrator Rodney Shoop praised the fire and rescue association's safety programs for reducing the number of claims. He said the programs pay dividends not only in lower insurance costs but in fewer injuries to firefighters.

Curiosity Updates:
The Below illustration provides a comparison for how big the moons of Mars appear to be, as seen from the surface of Mars, in relation to the size that Earth's moon appears to be when seen from the surface of Earth. Earth's moon actually has a diameter more than 100 times greater than the larger Martian moon, Phobos.
Darwin and other rocks in the area first were seen in images taken from an orbiting spacecraft. The region was chosen as "Waypoint 1" because it appears to expose layers of rock that could reveal the inner makeup and history of the plains on the floor of Gale Crater, including any flows of water that laid these materials down in the past.Analysis of Darwin may provide evidence of whether and how water played a role in the layering of rocks in this region.
The below set of three images shows views three seconds apart as
the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, passed directly in front of the sun as
seen by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time this holiday season with friends and family. I know I am! We flew home to visit our parents just before Christmas, and it's been a flurry of fun ever since!
In the few days since we've been home, my brother and I have taken an absurd amount of photos.
Then again, there have been so many memories worth capturing!
From football...
...to bocce ball...
And the dishwasher breaking right after Christmas dinner, so everyone pitching in to hand wash:
The wine really helps keep it all merry!
We then followed it all up with a whole game day including 30 Minute to Win It games for one massive couples competition!
I hope you all have had as much fun and folly this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that in 2012, total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation broke down, by source, as follows: 37% from coal, 30% from natural gas, 19% from nuclear, 12% from renewable energy (of that hydropower accounted for 56%, wind 28%, biomass 12%, geothermal 3%, and solar 1%), and 1% from oil. However, oil accounted for nearly 100% of the Nation's transportation fuel, although since 2011 most gasoline is now blended with up to 10% ethanol (E10), a biofuel. And by early 2013 there were around 11 million flex-fuel vehicles on U.S. roads capable of using fuel blends consisting of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline (E85). In 2010, the U.S. produced 58% of the world's ethanol fuel. Natural gas-fueled and electric vehicles are also beginning to enter the market. The transportation sector consumes about 28% of all end-use energy in the U.S.
The Obama Administration has an "all-of-the-above" energy development strategy which emphasizes renewable energy but also includes conventional non-renewable energy as a critical source of domestic energy to meet the Nation's needs for the foreseeable future. Because of this, the BLM's role in implementing the Energy Policy Act of 2005 is critical. The Act aims to secure America's energy future by promoting dependable, affordable, and environmentally sound energy production while reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
The Federal energy mix managed by BLM includes these renewable energy resources: wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, biomass, and wave/tidal energy; and these non-renewable energy resources: oil and gas, coal bed natural gas, coal, and uranium. The BLM also supports the electrical transmission and oil and gas pipeline infrastructure that are critical to bring the electrons, British Thermal Units, and fuels generated by these energy sources to market.

Just some of the stuff I've been into lately.
Book I'm reading right now: What Is the What by Dave Eggers – I'm about 100 pages in, and it has me captivated. It's the story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. I highly recommend it even though I haven't finished it yet.
Last book I finished: To Own a Dragon by Donald Miller – Although this is only the second book I've read of Miller's, he's one of my favorite Christian authors. This one's good, but it could've been a little longer.
Book of the Bible I'm reading: Ezekiel – There are some gems in this book. Read it.
Last movie I watched in the theater: Spiderman 3 – Not the greatest superhero movie, but it served its purpose. Some great action sequences. Some cheesy stuff, but when it was cheesy, it was very cheesy. All in all I'd say it was average.
Last movie I watched at home: Curious George – What can I say? I have 2 kids under 5. Still, not bad for a kids movie.
Last real movie I watched at home: Saving Private Ryan – I've only seen this movie a couple of times, but it's so timely. I'm a big fan of war movies, and they don't get any better than this one. What a great story.
Music I've been listening to: Funeral and Neon Bible by The Arcade Fire – Very different sound for me, and this time different is really good. I had to give both these albums a few listens before enjoying them, but now I'm hooked. Also, Add to the Beauty by Sara Groves – There's some really great stuff here.
Last cool website I found: kiva.org – This site asks for people to invest in entrepreneurs in developing countries. Very cool idea, and you can invest as little as $25.

Homosexuality is, and continues to be, one of the most hotly debated issues among Christians today, and even Christian teens have gotten in on the debate. Some denominations view homosexuality as a sin and others have a number of congregations or movements that accept homosexuality as a non-sin. However, most denominations, it seems, tend to fall into the category of "hate the sin, love the sinner," where they condemn homosexual behavior but welcome homosexuals into the congregation. Here is a breakdown of how the largest denominations view homosexuality:
Denominations that View Homosexuality as Sin
Many of these denominations have pronounced that homosexuality is a sin and do not condone gay marriage. However, many of these churches encourage members to witness to homosexuals and allow homosexuals to participate as members of the congregations. Some even acknowledge that homosexuals can be Christians, but others, like Pentacostal Churches believe that gay people must repent in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Still, all of these churches believe that homosexuality is a forgivable sin with forgiveness being provided by God.
Read more about these denominations' beliefs about homosexuality:
- Roman Catholic Church
- Churches of Christ
- Jehovah's Witnesses
- Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints
- Pentecostal Movement
Denominations that Have Mixed Views on Homosexuality
Many of these denominations take a more inclusive view of homosexuals. They encourage homosexuals to become Christians, and encourage their participation in congregational activities. Some of these denominations, like the United Church of Christ, allow homosexual members to be ordained as ministers. Other denominations, like the Baptist Church, are divided among groups that consider homosexuality as a sin and others that do not believe homosexuality is a sin.
