How People Prove Their Interpretation (6:1)
In spite of the evidence the New Testament gives regarding the inability of people to understand prophetic language before it is fulfilled, and the role that prophecy played in confounding and even leading astray those who would interpret it, there are still many people today, who are sure of their interpretation regarding the Second Coming, and feel very secure regarding what signs will accompany it and what they will look for. I refer here not to any specific group of Christians, or to any particular denomination, but rather to the multitude of Christ's followers from all walks of life, who claim to know what the prophecies mean. And they can "prove" that their interpretation is correct. They do this, of course, by using the Word of God itself (6:2)
Some people articulate their reasoning, and for some it is an inner reasoning that is implied in their approach to scripture. And this reasoning, according to my understanding, goes something like this: (6:3)
"The meaning of the Holy Word is clear and evident. The meaning is based, not on our interpretation, but on what the Bible itself gives as the proper interpretation, knowing that because we are only human, our own interpretation will be flawed, whereas the Bible's explanations are perfect. These interpretations given by the Bible are easy to understand - even obvious to those who are fair minded - once they have been carefully thought upon, or pointed out and explained by someone who understands them (6:4)
"A proper interpretation never excludes any part of the Bible, but encompasses all parts. At the same time, recognizing that some aspects of scripture have more relevance to prophecy than others, not all scripture can be given equal weight. That is, a proper interpretation is based on a knowledge of the relative importance of the different aspects of the Bible, and because we have taken into account the Bible in its entirety, our interpretation is not narrow minded (6:5)
"The proofs are conclusive and complete, i.e. there are no holes in an interpretation of this kind or things that do not make sense. Of course, there are some things that cannot be known or explained, but these are such things as are only known of God, but surely God has given us enough of His word to enable us to recognize the Christ, when He comes. There are no contradictions in our reasoning. Our interpretation stands on the Revealed Word of God.. period. So in a sense, it is not our interpretation, but God's interpretation that we are following (6:6)
"Regarding the interpretation of others, we can see in the teachings of other Christian Faiths either flaws in their interpretations, or errors in their understanding, or outright disregard for scripture. We understand what others have either overlooked in their study of scripture or what they have added. Unlike others, however, we refuse to tamper with scripture; we know that you can neither add nor subtract from the Word of God (6:7)
"In a word, we "follow the scriptures" (6:8)
This is seemingly sound reasoning, and one that appears to provide a good foundation for the interpretation of scripture. There is, however, a problem with this: others use the same reasoning and come up with different results - different interpretations. Indeed, this reasoning (i.e. that we can figure it all out ourselves), when applied to the practice of religion, has led to Christianity breaking up into thousands of sects, with many, claiming, of course, to be the correct one (6:9)
That so many people can be so sure that they correctly understand the prophecies regarding the Second Coming, while at the same time giving widely differing scenarios of the events that will take place (or have already taken place), is in itself the greatest sign of the nature of prophecy: namely that it is a mystery until it is fulfilled

What to do on a Sunday afternoon??? Make cotton ruffle dishcloths. Do you think I should offer these for donations like I've done with squiggles in the past? Would anyone be interested?
DKM Nosh What to do with a pound of leeks?
Saute away!
1 pound leeks, cleaned and dark green sections removed, approximately 4 to 5 medium
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil if Vegan)
Heavy pinch kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
14 ounces, approximately 3 small, Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small (I used Fingerling potatoes with skins on)
1 quart vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream (Or use a Vegan version)
1 cup buttermilk (If Vegan – use 1 cup soymilk with 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice and allowing to sit for 5 minutes)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon snipped chives (I'm out of chives so I tossed on Thyme)
Chop the leeks into small pieces. In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.
Cook my lovely!

I love watching Alton Brown's show. I get so many good ideas and he helps explain how all the chemistry and stuff works in a fun way. I've been thinking about making my own dishcloths. Do they hold up well with the washing? I've never used crocheted ones before? I like the one you made. ~Mom Jane of the FLuffy Tribe

Modern, clean, and expensive, Pasadena's latest furniture shop Roche Bobois offers a fresh take on home decor. Yes, the store just opened on Green Street in Old Pasadena, but the company's been around since 1950. Today, it's considered "as the world leader of high end furniture design and distribution, in addition to its elite positioning as a pioneer creator."
I walked by this store at night and bam—it was a colorful and bright explosion of modern design. My eyes danced from item to item; from the multi-patterened couches and brightly woven rugs to the sleek black leather chairs and minimalistic lamps, Roche Bobois is more like a showcase room than a place to purchase. However, you can purchase here. Prices are a bit elusive (online at least), which doesn't bode well to the budget-friendly buyer. But these pieces are investments, like art.
More than amazing furniture, Roche Bobois offers interior decoration advice, financing, registries, and warranties, among other things. Their designers are knowledgable (and talented—works displayed in exhibits all over the world); financing is flexible; and warranties are lengthy (10 years for manufacturing defects). Making purchases here worth the price.
So why did Roche Bobois, which has stores all over the world, select our little big city of Old Pasadena? According to the company's Southern California Regional Manager Matthieu Pascalin, "We are thrilled to open a new showroom in Pasadena, as we feel the city's vibrant blend of tradition and modernization is seamlessly aligned with the Roche Bobois brand."
Don't wait a minute longer. Head over to 33 West Green St to view this remarkable showroom today.

Summer Green
Now that The nights have started to cool down just a touch and Fall is just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to have a bit of Summer Green to help keep warm thoughts through the cold months to come. I love all of the seasons, but I admit I am a bit of a sissy when it comes to being cold.

Newt Gingrich is a former House speaker who is running for president, so perhaps it's no surprise that his least favorite branch of government appears to be the judiciary. Over the weekend, Gingrich told reporters that as president, he'd have the power to eliminate entire federal courts, replace "activist judges," and even ignore certain Supreme Court rulings. He also said Congress should subpoena federal judges whose decisions are "strikingly at variance with America," and that the president could send U.S. Marshals to force unwilling judges to testify. This assault on the independence of the judiciary was roundly criticized, even by conservatives who broadly agree with Gingrich that federal courts are overreaching. What is Gingrich thinking?
Newt is either pandering, or he's nuts: The closer Newt gets to the nomination, "the more unhinged" his attacks on the judiciary seem to become, says Andrew Cohen at The Atlantic. The GOP base hates liberal judges, so maybe Newt is "committing constitutional heresy just to win a few primary votes." But if not, we must assume that he actually buys this crackpot "Rock-Paper-Scissors version" of the Constitution, in which the president and Congress can overrule the Supreme Court. That's frightening.
"Newt Gingrich and his 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' Constitution"
He's going after the separation of church and state: If you look closely, says Kevin Drum at Mother Jones, Newt is only advocating toothless courts when it comes to religion in the public square. "It's really nativity scenes and prayer in public shool that animate him on this subject." That's the motivation behind Newt's comments. He wants America to be a state-supported Christian nation "without any pesky courts getting in the way."
"Newt Gingrich and God"
There's at least a nugget of truth in Newt's rant: People are "dumping on Gingrich, for mostly good reason," says Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit. But he's right that we could use a "constitutional reset" after "the hash the Supreme Court has made of things over the past 50 years." That's what Newt is good at: "Tossing a stink bomb... and letting the ensuing reaction demonstrate that there's something rotten about the status quo." But as with fellow former academic President Obama, some musings are best left to professors.

First Church in Qatar (in a loooong time)
There are churches in Qatar from what I hear, but this is the first time since the advent of Islam that a building designed as a church is being built there.
Work has begun on the construction of Qatar's first purpose-built church in the desert outside Doha, the country's capital.
Although the country's native inhabitants are entirely Muslim - and are prohibited by law from converting to another faith - the new Catholic church will cater to the large number of Christian migrants who have come to the Arabia Gulf state in search of work.

The 60's ushered in the age of television as parents struggled to understand it's mind-numbing spell on their children. In the 70's, fantasy and role playing games were turning teenagers into blood-thirsty killers. In the 80's, heavy metal music was creating legions of devil worshippers with their satanic messages. In the 90's, video games were leading young people to wreck and ruin. And in the first part of the 21st century, it was social media that was going to cause societal collapse.
As we wend our way toward the end of the current decade, websites like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube seem to be pulling ahead to be the decided targets of our accusations as harbingers of adolescent corruption. Videos that turn their begrudging subjects into celebrities are viewed millions of times to become modern-day phenomena. Programming whose subject or content would never survive the censors' chopping block become mainstream, ironically due to their subversive nature.
Perhaps the assertion over the years that media portraying violence and mature subject matter lead to the desensitization of their audiences has some merit. Studies have strongly suggested that "exposure to violent video games is a causal risk factor for increased aggressive behavior [sic], aggressive cognition, and aggressive affect." Maybe watching episode after violence-soaks episode back-to-back really does lead to lowered degrees of empathy.
Whether we are talking about short or long-term effects of constant and protracted exposure to violence in media, what these studies are basically saying is that notwithstanding individual perceptions, if violence is portrayed in a believable way, we will identify with the characters and therefore the experiences. Seems obvious, doesn't it?
Do those who produce content for these various media therefore have a responsibility to their audiences to portray that content in a responsible manner? And if so, how far does that responsibility go? Should it be watered down to ensure that it can't possibly have an adverse impact on the consumer or should it be presented as stark reality leaving the consumers to draw their own conclusions? Is there a middle ground and if so, what does it look like?
"Netflix and chill", "binge-watching", "going viral"…these phrases have worked their way into our daily vernacular as they serve as a means of sharing our collective electronic experience with each other. But the fact is, that shared experience is not as common as we would like to think. If you were born in the pre-Internet age, you probably spend a lot of your energy trying to understand this. If you grew up during the years following that, you accept it almost instinctually.

The Bad Beginning (from A Series of Unfortunate Events)
If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading another book. Useful advice when it comes to the miserable adventures of the three Baudelaire children; Violet, Klaus and Sunny. If you think your life isnt perfect, wait til you read about these three. When the story starts everything is peachy; a happy family, a beautiful mansion, a perfect life. But all that ends by page six, when a family friend, Mr. Poe, arrives to tell them that their parents have died, that the mansion has been burned to the ground and that they are about to start a new life with an endless assortment of sinister relatives. And then things get worse!
While you might think that this is the LAST book you want to look at this spring, in fact its lots of fun. The inventive talents of fourteen year old Violet, the intellect of twelve year old Klaus and the sharp teeth of tiny Sunny always seems to lead them away from the darkest of dangers. Sort of. Somehow things always manage to get worse. You see, their relative Count Olaf and his performing theatrical troupe have concocted a plan to get at the Baudelaire fortune by having Olaf marry the young Violet and then..., well I wouldn't want to give away the ending, although you already know that it isn't happy.
Their struggle with Count Olaf (the first of a succession of relatives and family friends who look after the children) is only the start of long series. So far, Lemony Snicket has published six books relating the adventures of the Baudelaire children. If youre looking for something a little different, and fiendishly fun, then The Bad Beginning is the place to start. Just dont say I didnt warn you!

Artistic Control - A Gentle Reply to Tim :)
The thing that I love about fractals is that with Artistic control, you can create visual poetry. Whilst the process may start off as a "random flame", with a bit of patience (and luck), it can turn into something quite cool.

White Caps
Fractals (at least to me) can be so much more than machine generated images. A good fractal is alive, it resonates, it speaks to one's soul.

Mick and Alex arrived from the UK over a week ago, and after a long journey they came in for a cold beer and we chatted about their fishing dreams and how excited they were to be out in the keys, they had had a seriously tough time before Christmas, and needed a big boost……
Well what a week, firstly we had to work fairly hard at the fishing, but it was all good, Mick and Alex fished really well, catching a total of twenty two species over the week, Micks biggest fish was a stunning Bull Shark of over 130 pounds and Alex had a cracking Nurse Shark of around 180lbs, Alex played this fish like a true pro and we actually had to follow this shark for well over a mile as he hooked up on only 30lb spinning gear, great angling Alex!!!!
The guys certainly had smiles on their faces as the week went on, there was a few tears, and quiet moments to reflect, the trip they needed, lots of great memories, and great company………I wish you guys all the best!
We had a cracking meal on their last night and went through all the pictures we had taken, smiles all round……….
They left for the UK yesterday and my mate Neil was flying out and so far has made it to the Bahamas due to storms over Miami, so hopefully he will arrive tonight, a couple of days fishing and then home, back on Wednesday to the chalk stream world and hopefully put a smile on a few more faces back in Dorset…..
We are an established company, specialising in all aspects of water, fishing and fishery management.

To address the high-density storage needs of.increasingly complex automotive applications including automotive information & entertainment systems and ADAS, Toshiba has unveiled new embedded NAND flash memory products that comply to JEDEC UFS version 2.1.
The new line-up of automotive UFS products supports a wide capacity range from 16GB to 256GB, suitable for an array of automotive applications, such as entertainment & information systems and ADAS, which typically require high-capacity storage, as well as other applications (such as wireless communication) that may need only smaller capacity.
To offer the enhanced reliability required by these automotive applications, the new products meet AEC-Q100 Grade2 requirements and support a wide temperature range of -40℃ to +105℃, according to the company.
The products integrate NAND chips fabricated with 15nm process technology and a controller in a single package.
The addition of automotive UFS expands Toshiba Memory Corporation's line-up of embedded NAND flash memory products for automotive applications, which currently includes automotive e-MMC products.
"Utilizing the UFS interface allows the new products to achieve sequential read of 850MB/s and random read of 50kIOPs, which are approximately 2.7 times and 7.1 times faster than their current e-MMC counterparts, respectively", the company claimed.
Other new functions specifically suited to automotive applications have been added to the new UFS products, including Refresh, Thermal Control and Extended Diagnosis.
'Refresh' can be used to refresh data stored in the UFS and can contribute to the extension of the data's life span. 'Thermal Control' protects against overheating in the high temperatures that can occur in automotive applications. 'Extended Diagnosis' helps users to understand the condition of the product.
Toshiba has begun sample shipments of the new embedded NAND flash memories.

Featuring Roy Prosterman, Chair Emeritus, Rural Development Institute; and Zhu Keliang, East Asia Program Manager, Rural Development Institute; moderated by Ian Vasquez, Director, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute
Between 700 and 800 million Chinese, more than half of China's population, are still rural. Economic reforms have helped Chinese farmers, but rural China is falling further and further behind urban China. The lack of land rights for rural Chinese is a major cause of the disparity and a major source of social instability. Secure land rights would allow farmers to increase investments, improve productivity and accumulate wealth. In recent years, the Chinese government has passed laws to make those rights more secure. Based on their 2008 survey of farmers in 17 provinces, Roy Prosterman and Zhu Keliang will assess the current status of farmers' rights, document ongoing violations, and propose policies that would do much more to give farmers legal security in their land.

During my lookup, the initial effective psychological healing method I encountered was called Psychological Freedom Method which is generally referred to as "EFT" or "EFT tapping". EFT is a variation of Dr. Roger Callahan's Thought Area Therapy technique. Basically, the EFT process involves multiple faucets with your fingers on particular meridian or acupressure points on your body. And as you gently faucet (about 7 occasions) on each point, you repeat pertinent phrases or statements regarding your specific problem. I know, it sounds unusual. You just have to experience EFT a couple of times in purchase to assess it correctly.Being inexperienced I flew it strait into partitions and it just keeps going. I bent the rotor shaft a small, but kind of set it and the Syma 107 just keep heading. If it wasn't for the reality that the batteries lasts only about six minutes, I would by no means get anything done, at all. Boys and their toys.One of the initial issues that you will require to learn is on how to correctly hover the helicopter off the floor. To do this, you initial require to find a location exactly where it can securely go up and down. One thing that you need to think about is the grass that can be discovered in the area. Getting a grassy location or region exactly where you fly the helicopter guarantees that in any situation that the helicopter will crash down, it will not be that damaged that a lot. It is also extremely important that the place is free of any litter and trees. Start hovering the helicopter by making use of stress on the buttons of the remote. Attempt to hover for at least one foot every time.Everybody is crazy about the latest higher-tech gadgets and gizmos like super-slim MP4 players that can do nearly every thing besides shoot laser beams, advanced toy robots with artificial intelligence that are smarter than your math teacher and can remodel into racing vehicles, micro RC helicopters that are small enough to manoeuver in a shoebox and USB turntables that are in a position to shrink your huge document assortment down to the size of a micro chip.The traditional hobbyist enjoys the normal RC plane. The idea of a regular airplane can imply many things. But in this instance it refers to the conventional RC airplanes. These products are operate on gasoline, heavier and made of steel in some instances. This is in immediate opposition to the micro airplanes which, in turn are usually battery operated, and arrive with a light-weight titanium, or plastic body or as talked about before made of foam. The regular rc planes online, can be hazardous because of the gasoline that is utilized to gas them; but in the fingers of an skilled hobbyists it is completely secure. Therefore, the micro versions are the planes of the future soaring about utilizing technology that makes them almost foolproof.Model RC RC Helicopters engine gas (glow fuel) creates more energy than standard gasoline because of the higher contests of nitro methane which is why it is much more popular than gasoline for design plane. Get used to merely reducing the collective 1/4 way down or so. Apply strolling the RC Helicopter around. Adhere to at a secure length powering it and make it go locations slowly. Be careful not to stage in any holes. Brand names: There is absolutely nothing really to say about this if you know what your looking for then we inventory some of the very best brands such as Century JR Futaba Hirobo and so on.Still, it may probably be a decent concept to tell your teens that you are environment up a monitoring device for their fundamental safety. If you set up it secretly and than your son or daughter finds out that he or she has been tracked, they will never imagine it is for their private superior.If you are a beginner and have just brought your very first rc helicopter with camera mount, don't hurry it. As these toys are designed to be in a position to fly, they are lightweight. Most of it is produced out of mild metals and plastic which can split effortlessly, which indicates it can split effortlessly. So, firstly read the instruction manual carefully and practice in an open space until you become acquainted with it. You might want to take an expert's advice or see on-line.The first factor that you have to do is to carefully study the manual supplied with the rc helicopter with camera mount you just bought. Make sure that you did not miss anything from the guide. Then let your child study and comprehend it. In the manual, you will discover the fundamentals of flying and all a person requirements to do to operate the helicopter. Educate your child whatever you have discovered from the guide. This can be a great begin for you and your kid.Another factor to think about is ease and comfort. You don't want to have people coming more than to your home to rest and then leave, only to go directly to the chiropractor. There are air mattresses that have adjustable firmness controls, these are my favorites because they can be produced softer or firmer by a push of a button. Some of the air mattresses that are constructed for two individuals have a manage for every individual. Can you say rc planes online ? Yes, there are even some air mattresses with this delightful accent.

Youthful Stamford Seconds win big at home
Despite having played infrequently this season and many new faces in the side Stamford RUFC Second XV beat Heathens 77-7 at Empingham Road on Saturday.
The game started very well for Stamford, playing with the wind and the hill in the first half, they employed their youth and pace in the backline to exploit the gaps in the Heathens' defence, running in some excellent team tries early on. This set the tone for the whole game with Stamford ending up run away victors.
Platforms built by some solid forward phases allowed Stamford to go wide early and sent Max Andrews away, dancing around the Heathens defence and running in a brace of exceptional solo tries. The 31 – 0 scoreline at half time did not flatter Stamford in the slightest.
Unfortunately for the Heathens, it was more of the same in the second half from the home side and the fitness of this youthful Stamford side really grasped the game.
Three of the new faces in the side were 17 year old Colts, Kieran Hynes, Angus Collett and Jack Jones. All three had fantastic games and were a credit to the youth set up at the club and Stamford School.
Hynes picked up a hat-trick of tries on his debut.
Despite the scoreline, it wasn't all one way traffic. In the second half and for sustained periods, Stamford had to hold off some determined running from a spirited Heathens side. Stamford would have liked to have kept a clean sheet, but persistence and endeavour, despite the ever increasing try count from Stamford, would eventually see Heathens crash over the line from an attacking lineout.
Stamford added a further 46 points to their first half tally, bringing the final score to 77 – 7.
Try scorers: Max Andrews (4), Kieran Hynes (3), Nick Maunder (1), Dan Murphy (1), Toby Lindley (1), Phillip Boyer (1), Toby Wilkinson (1), Chris Kaye (1).
Call captain Nick McDowall if you would like to play for Stamford on 07921916248.

"Doctor Who"
Monday, December 25 at 9/8c on BBC AMERICA
Special stars Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, David Bradley as the First Doctor, Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts, Mark Gatiss as the Captain, and will see Capaldi's Doctor regenerate into the Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker.
Immediately following Twice Upon A Time, BBC AMERICA will premiere the all-new special Doctor Who: Farewell to Peter Capaldi. Narrated by actor Colin McFarlane (The Dark Knight, Doctor Who), the episode, featuring archive footage and interviews, looks back at Peter Capaldi's era as the Twelfth Doctor – from his very first script read through to his very last. It also features Steven Moffat reflecting upon his time as a writer and then later as Executive Producer, revealing some of his best and worst moments from his tenure, as well as his favorite episodes.
The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctor's journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor and a returning Bill Potts, for one last adventure. Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor's story.
An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity's darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginning.

– I joined a Book Club. So far I've read The Fault in Our Stars and The Glass Castle. It's nice to be involved in something that requires intellectual thought instead of nursery rhymes, for once!
– I think I've got this whole breastfeeding thing down. I now feel completely comfortable nursing in public. I really didn't think I would last as long as I have. And while I don't have a set goal, I have no intentions of stopping soon. I'm just going to continue until it doesn't work for our family anymore.
– Adelaide had a blow-out at a restaurant the other night. I prayed to the diaper bag gods that I had a change of clothes for her. Hallelujah! I did!
– Emmalyn fell off the side of the steps in the pool and went straight into her float, called for help, and grabbed the wall. We were both so proud.
– Three year-old tantrums S-U-C-K! Big time.
– I'm doing July's #independenceARMy & #SunsOutTeekiBumsOut Yoga Challenge on Instagram. It's been so great getting back into yoga… even if my time is limited and I sometimes have a three year-old crawling all over me. {see: Instagram video} I guess it helps me practice patience, eh? You can follow my journey on my Instagram: @katievanbrunt & at #loyallykatieyoga It's fun and challenging!!
– Adelaide is an incredible baby! She only cries when she's wet, tired, or hungry. She sleeps anywhere from 6-8 hours a night. {don't hate.} She's a true joy and I love having her in our family.
– Emmalyn is obsessed with Adelaide. It's almost a little too suffocating. She has a tendency to wake her up with extra hard hugs and kisses. Like, multiple times a day. UGH. Honestly, I've tried everything I can think of to get her to stop and nothing is working. Help?!
– I can't believe school is starting back again. So soon! I just bought Emmalyn's school supplies. This year, she will be going to school three days a week. I'm excited for her.
– Adjusting to two kids was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Sure, it's difficult when both are crying, one is in the bath tub, and the other needs to be fed, but we make it work. The chaos is totally worth having two daughters.
– I said I didn't ever want to be pregnant again or have more kids than I have hands, but now I'm not so sure…
– I am thoroughly blessed I did not get postpartum depression the second time around. Praise God!
– Having a baby in the summertime is difficult. It limits our daily activities significantly, but we're making it work.
– I never want Adelaide to grow up! I'm absolutely loving having a baby in the house!
So how has your summer been so far?!

Callywood After Dark All About Eve
Posted by Cosandra Calloway on Sunday, February 6, 2011
The film stars Bette Davis as Margo Channing, a highly regarded but aging Broadway star. Anne Baxter plays Eve Harrington, a willingly helpful young fan who insinuates herself into Channing's life, ultimately threatening Channing's career and her personal relationships. George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe, Barbara Bates, Gary Merrill and Thelma Ritter also appear, and the film provided one of Marilyn Monroe's earliest imp
ortant roles. Praised by critics at the time of its release, All About Eve was nominated for 14 Academy Awards (a feat that was unmatched until the 1997 film, Titanic) and won six, including Best Picture. As of 2010, All About Eve is still the only film in Oscar history to receive four female acting nominations (Davis and Baxter as Best Actress, Holm and Ritter as Best Supporting Actress). All About Eve was selected in 1990 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry and was among the first 50 films to be registered. All About Eve appeared at #16 on AFI's 1998 list of the 100 best American films

I've written before about using Wine to run various old games and Windows apps on non-Windows platforms without the hassle, performance penalty and cost of using a full desktop virtualization application.
I've decided to check out (and review!) a commercial Wine offering for .nix platforms called Bordeaux. There are several interesting things about Bordeaux: it's affordable; the company claims stability for a varied albeit small set of Windows applications (Microsoft Office 2007, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Internet Explorer, VLC media player, etc.); and perhaps most intriguingly, it appears to be the first commercial application out there to recognise OpenIndiana and to offer a distinct OpenIndiana installer accordingly. Promising stuff, so let's dig into the installation process.
I am performing this on an Intel Q8200 system running OpenIndiana release oi_147.
I checked out a copy of Bordeaux for OpenIndiana from Bordeaux Technology Group's online store. A few minutes later I was sent a download link: the installer is 103.5MB, and consists of a single shell script with no accompanying documentation. A readme with the latest release notes and the installation procedure here would be useful, even just a mirror to what is found on their website.
After making the installation script executable, I ran it and immediately had a problem. The script apparently uses GNU tar, and on my system /usr/bin is first in my PATH, not /usr/gnu/bin. Altering my PATH so that GNU utilities are looked at first allowed the installation script to proceed.
Post-install, I noticed that the Bordeaux directory and contents created at /opt/bordeaux were owned by a non-existent 101 user (no such user on my system). Again, a manual change in ownership was required here.
Other than that, Bordeaux application entries were created in GNOME, and selecting a Windows application installation command gave me an instant idea of what the supported applications are (below).
Next step is to try out a few of the supported Windows apps. Stay tuned.

Better late than never!
Beyonce and Jay-Z's posh April 4, 2008 wedding in NYC was one of the most closely guarded celeb nuptials ever — with few details and no photos emerging from the big day.
Over three years later, however, Beyonce (now expecting her first child with her man) is ready to share one very significant moment from her wedding day: Her dress!
In the video (which debuted on Vevo) for her inspirational anthem "I Was Here," taped live at NYC's Roseland in August, the superstar shared personal footage from her life, including her childhood, her early showbiz days, her rise to fame with Destiny's Child, her mega solo career, charity work — and her romance with Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter), 42.
In one brief moment in the reel, an overjoyed Beyonce is revealed in her strapless wedding dress — featuring a dramatic, ruffled train and a tiny waist.
Tell Us: What do you think of Beyonce's dress?

Systems with virtual hedging are always superior to systems with real hedging (in the sense of holding opposite positions). Aside from NFA and FIFO compliance, they have higher profits, lower trading costs, and lower risk because trades are usually closed earlier, thus reducing exposure to price shocks or market crashes. For activating virtual hedging, only the Hedge variable (see below) needs to be set. All trades are then automatically entered in phantom mode. When the net amount - the difference of long and short open lots - changes, Zorro automatically opens or closes pool trades in a way that the market exposure is minimized. Example: several long positions are open with a total amount of 100 lots. Now a short trade of 40 lots is entered. The net amount is now 60 lots (100 long lots minus 40 short lots). Zorro closes the oldest long pool trades fully or partially until the sum of open positions is at 60 lots. If partial closing is not supported, the oldest long pool trades are fully closed until the remaining position is at or below 60 lots. If it's less than 60 lots, a new long pool trade is opened at the difference. In both cases the net amount ends up at exactly 60 lots.
Virtual hedging is used in test and trade mode only, not in training mode. The performance statistics (Long/Short/Total) are generated from the pool trades, not from the phantom trades. Only exception is NumPendingTotal, which is affected by pending phantom trades (pool trades are never pending). Phantom trades can also be manually entered for "equity curve trading"; those trades contribute to the Long/Short statistics, but do not trigger pool trades.
Virtual hedging affects the system performance parameters. Although the equity curves of a system with or without virtual hedging are relatively similar, the number of trades, the profit factor, the win rate, and the average trade duration can be very different. Although the end profit with virtual hedging is higher due to smaller trading costs, the win rate and profit factor can be lower because they are calculated from the pool trades. Here's an example of the same grid trading system without and with virtual hedging:
EUR/CHF grid trader, normal hedging, win rate ~95%, profit factor ~10, total profit ~$16000
EUR/CHF grid trader, virtual hedging, same algorithm, win rate ~65%, profit factor ~3, total profit ~$16500
Hedging is controlled by the following variable:
if(is(TRADEMODE)) Hedge = 5; // virtual hedging in trade mode else Hedge = 2; // full hedging in test mode

Yesterday I managed to get sme spare time to get a new computer up and running. This one is planned to be a Linux Box with various uses (for now it has one). The computer itself looks rather harmfull and compact:
Inside there is a industrial motherboard in PICMG 1.3 standard with an backplane for 6 PCI-X cards. On the card - double Xeon 2,8 GHz and 1GB of ECC DDRAM. Sounds like enough for most of the things that I could be capable of imagining to do on such machine. Also I crammed an SCSI controller that will be mostly used to interface to 50pin disks that I use for the Amiga (as far as I know Linux is capable of mounting FFS and/or OFS file systems). As for software I went with Ubuntu Linux - probably out of laziness (as I had it on some Live CD). I've downloaded the newest distribution of the Ubuntu Server and just installed it on this machine. As the ethernet connection is not running on this machine (dunno' why, have to check it) I haven't installed anything more.
So, let's try to interface with the Amiga. I have connected both computers with a Nullmodem (a standard one, not some of the fancy 'ADF-transfer kits', that people are selling (price of a nullmodem x 10) and in fact these ARE normal nullmodems). So I chose some example file on my DH0, and typed in on the screen to see its content. After that I started the Linux Box and made it to start listening to the serial port (ttyS0):
cat /dev/ttyS0
This wat you will see it on the display, but yoy can redirect it to a file by using the
>> {your file}. Then, on Amiga, I have sent the file over a serial:
type {your file} to ser:
As you can see - it works. It works accidentally as I have not done anything to set the serial port parameters, both computers are working in the default settings. I have to install setserial on the Linux Box to be able to configure the serial port, and in order to do that I have to have an internet connection on it up and running, so I guess it's the closest thing that I will be doing.

UPDATE 5:00 P.M.: Yuba County Sheriff Steven Durfor says the suspect in the shooting of two deputies was found dead inside a home.
Durfor says it appears the suspect was killed when the deputies returned gunfire but that an autopsy will determine how he died.
He says he does not know the name of the man who barricaded himself inside a rural home.
Durfor says the two deputies shot were airlifted to a hospital and arrived "conscious, talkative and stable."
Authorities say the deputies were responding to reports of an armed and agitated man pulling up plants in the garden of a rural Rastafarian church about 55 miles north of Sacramento.
UPDATE 4:03 P.M.: Sutter Roseville Hospital says two Yuba County sheriff's deputies are in serious condition following surgery after they were shot by a suspect who's still on the loose.
A spokeswoman for the hospital says the deputies were brought there because it's the trauma center closest to the rural community of Oregon House where the shooting took place. Oregon House is just east of Collins Lake, about 55 miles north of Sacramento.
The deputies were responding this morning to reports of an armed and agitated man pulling up marijuana plants in the garden of a Rastafarian church. The deputies were wounded during a shootout with the suspect, who they confronted on a long driveway of the property.
(AP) - Two Northern California deputies were undergoing surgery for wounds sustained in a shootout with a suspect described as a disgruntled member of a church that identifies on social media as a sect of the marijuana-embracing Rastafarian religion.
Yuba County Sheriff's spokeswoman Leslie Carbah says she doesn't know the condition of the two officers shot Friday morning in a rural community about 55 miles north of Sacramento. She says the deputies were responding to call of an armed and agitated church member pulling up plants. Carbah says the suspect engaged the deputies in a gunbattle before fleeing and remains at large.
Karen Hisken, who runs an equestrian facility near the scene, says she can see police action from her yard but that she has not been asked to evacuate the area. Hisken has lived in the area since 1988 and says she is not familiar with any type of Rastafarian church.

Sand Art by Jim Denevan
Jim Denevan is an artist who makes freehand drawings in sand. At low tide on wide beaches, Jim searches the shore for a wave tossed stick. After finding a good stick, Jim draws– laboring up to 7 hours and walking as many as 30 miles. The resulting sand drawing is made entirely freehand w/ no measuring aids whatsoever.
Denevan recently made the world's largest freehand drawing on a dry lake in Nevada which measure three mile across. Jim walked for eight days, about 100 miles to draw the pattern. The drawing was transient, as all of Jim's work is: "It was completely erased in a rainstorm the next week... It felt strange to work so hard and not see tide come in. But rains did come which is sort of the same thing."

text: With the Holidays coming up,do not forget to follow these guidelines to protect yourself 5 Methods to Prevent Illness With the Holidays coming up, do not forget to follow these guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect yourself and others from illness at home and work: Avoid Close Contact You should keep your distance from other members of the community when you are sick to prevent passing the illness to them as well. Germs are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets when we talk, sneeze or cough, so keeping our distance from others when we are not feeling well is one method to stopping the spread of disease. Stay at Home If it is at all possible, it is recommended that you stay at home when you are sick to prevent spreading any illness. Taking a day off work or keeping children home from school is one of the best defenses we have to avoid getting co-workers, classmates or other members of the community sick. Clean Your Hands Hygiene is fundamental in the prevention of illness. Regular handwashing reduces the spread of illness so we can remain healthy by removing germs we pick up from daily activities. The CDC has tools available at CDC.gov that teach us how to wash our hands, and other options if soap and clean water are not accessible. Avoid Touching Your Eyes, Nose or Mouth High traffic areas in our homes or items that are frequently touched can quickly become germ banks. Germs spread when we touch these contaminated surfaces or objects and then touch our faces. Cleaning and disinfecting removes dirt and grime, and sanitizing kills these germs to help prevent the spread of disease. Clean and Disinfect CleanItSupply.com has a detailed article of home hygiene tips and best practices to prevent the spread of illness from our homes. They discuss tips on cleaning, how to choose the right cleaning products, and how you can affect your personal hygiene and nutrition to stay healthy. A key to keeping your home or work space healthy is to clean as you go with bleach or sanitizing wipes, focusing especially on those high traffic areas. This time of year and over the Holidays, we are at higher risk of coming in contact with germs and disease. By taking care of ourselves and our homes by following these 5 methods from the CDC we can do our part to help keep ourselves and our communities healthy. What Can I Do to Help Prevent Dialysis Treatment Complications? While Dialysis treatment can be effective at replacing some of the kidney's lost functionality, there are a number of side effects and treatment complications that a patient can experience. According to the Koncept Analytics Global Dialysis Market Report: 2015 Edition, these complications could include the following: Access Point Complications Dialysis is an invasive technique that can result in blockages, aneurysms or infections. Members of the Dialysis team and the patient should check for changes in the access point that may be signs of complications. Infections Patients undergoing Dialysis are more susceptible to infections, so they should be informed on the importance of cleanliness and good hygiene to help keep the access point clean. Any signs of infection should be addressed and looked after. Cramps, Nausea and Headaches It may be necessary to adjust the Dialysis prescription to reduce these symptoms by checking the dialyzer's water quality, the dialysate composition and the rate of filtration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has Infection Prevention Tools available such as Dialysis Audit Tools, Dialysis Checklist Tools, Training Videos and Recommended Staff Competencies to help members of the Dialysis team prevent these complications.

The butterfly is an inspiration to me.
Like us, the butterfly goes through many transformations and phases in it's life time.
Unlike us, the butterfly knows this is a natural process and doesn't fight or fear it.
The butterfly understands that change is a part of life; change is constant in life.
Perhaps we can learn from this beautiful creature, maybe if we allow change to happen without fear - we too will unfold into a beautiful masterpiece.
Live in Joy - Lisa

Bacon, bacon, fried in a pan
Do you love me the way I am?
I dream of you when I wake at night
Can't wait to get up, get you in my sight
Grab a little piece of you,
put you in my mouth, begin to chew
your juices flowing down my chin
as my face puts on a happy grin
Oh bacon, bacon where have you been
The ways that I love you, let me begin
Wrapped around a piece of meat
In a biscuit, you can't be beat
Melted with cheese on hot toast
To tell the truth, I love you the most.
How is it that you're so great
Yet I cheat on you when you're off my plate
With your Cousin Ham and Brother Ribs
I'll eat your sister if I'm given dibs.
Here, piggy piggy, come to me
I'll love you the best just wait and see.

Emory Douglas created the visual identity for the Black Panther Party and his iconic images came to symbolize the struggles of the movement. As the Revolutionary Artist and Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until the 1980s, Douglas's work, described as 'Militant Chic', featured in most issues of the newspaper The Black Panther. His work was characterized by strong graphic images of young African Americans men, women and children. He used the newspaper's popularity to spur people to action, portraying the poor with empathy and as being unapologetic and ready to struggle for basic human rights.
Douglas continues to create art with social and political concerns art that transcends borders.

So the fellas over at Oldhammer In The New World are organizing an army painting challenge.
Look pretty simple so far: Paint a 1000 pt army at 200 points a month for six months with a start date in November (I'm not sure if that's the start date of the challenge or the date to finish the first 200 pts)... Although that doesn't quite math out that's OK its Oldhammer.
So will this finally pry me out of my hobby slump? Things haven't exactly slowed down at the Nelson compound. For every DIY project I finish around the house two more pop-up and November is an extremely busy month for me with deer season and holidays and all.
But I'm in!
I've shuffled my crate full of Greenskins to the top of the pile. Notice I have had to add plywood boards between each box as the weight of the lead was crushing them.
That's it for now. Hopefully I'll be back shortly.

Everybody has heard of the 'natural' lucid dreamer, but even they need a little help during a dry spell.
With a new approach and sensible use then a supplement can help to boost your performance providing you listen to your body and not overdo things.
With any new regimen it is always best to seek medical advice where possible before hand.
Make sure you dose low initially to reduce side-effects and note any undue reactions or allergies.
Try to avoid mixing unless you know what you are doing and always do thorough research before starting any trial.
Make notes alongside your dream journal entries too for future reference.
Knowing the best times to take a particular substance and how long it stays in the body is also useful.
A good guide for the serious dream student is the book entitled 'Advanced Lucid Dreaming – The Power of Supplements' by Thomas Yuschak. ISBN 978-1-4303-0542-2
Common supplements include 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan, a naturally occurring amino acid) which is generally taken orally at the start of the night basically to suppress REM sleep thereby causing a rebound later on.
Remember never mix SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) which include antidepressants and the mood lifting herb St John's wort for example.
A life-threatening condition called 'serotonin syndrome' can otherwise result.
The anti-Alzheimer chemical galantamine, especially when combined with a choline supplement is probably the most effective dream-enhancing substance available for the oneironaut.
It is usually taken after 4 to 6 hours of sleep to be effective.
However I hear some people swear by apple juice, bananas, coffee, Vitamin B6, a peanut butter sandwich, etc.
Even alcohol can affect a subject's dreams due to REM rebound effects.
