Therefore, I've decided to construct one final outline of prophetic events. These prophetic events, which I've been writing about and debating for over two decades, are now heading towards a conclusion. Therefore, it is important that this letters purpose be understood. This letter is an interpretation and will move fairly fast with limited explanation. I hope it is understandable to all. Since Christianity began, believers have always been taught to have faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1. It has always been my thought that if the Bible was true faith would eventually become reality. In other words, prophecies that were written in a vague manner would start to become apparent and faith would become visible. An example of this would be Noah's Ark. If we could see the Ark upon a mountain then something we learned as faith would become a reality. Reality is one step higher than Faith. Short of seeing God, which we cannot do until we die, this is as good as it gets for a believer. Therefore, this is what I call, "Our Noah's Ark". Our Noah's Ark is prophecy fulfilled in plain view. This now becomes something seen, instead of faith in something unseen. Better said, some of the prophecies of Revelation are finally becoming discernible, which suggests a conclusion. The two most important items that must be derived from this narrative are as follows. If these prophecies which were written centuries ago are now happening, we know two things. One, that the author of those prophecies was God; and two, that the religion he brought was true. Therefore, all other religions are false. I'll say that again. There is only one God and he brought only one way to Heaven. Any other way must become false and will lead to the second death, which is the death of the soul. Let's get started. Note: not all verses are exact quotes. Some are paraphrased. Rev. 13:1 - The beast with seven heads and ten horns. The seven heads are seven nations. The ten horns are ten kings. The beast is a group of nations that will wage war or the leader of those nations. Literally, it is Israel and the Muslim nations that surround her. This beast was born when Israel received her independence in 1948. This beast though, as stated in Rev. 13:1, is actually Israel at a specific time in her history. It denotes the Oslo Accords of 1993 and the beginning of land for peace. This agreement lasted seven years and ended in September 2000 with the start of the second intifada. This brings us to those three extra kings who the beast subdues in Daniel. These kings were Israeli Prime Ministers and all served during this seven year time frame. Arafat was known to have boasted that he affected the elections in Israel three times through terror. Daniel 9:27 says he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. The covenant began with the agreement between Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Rabin. It is also known as Daniel's 70th week. In Hebrew, the word many is written Rab. Rev. 13:3- The beasts deadly head wound. Head is a nation. It is similar to the heads of Rev 13:1, only singular. The beast's head (nation) was wounded in 1967 and is now being healed through the Oslo Accords. Rev. 13:4- And they worshipped the dragon. Who is able to make war with him? Islam is a false religion. The dragon is Satan. As long as they aren't worshipping Christ they are worshipping Satan. Who is able to make war with him refers to the difficulty of fighting a terrorist enemy. In other words, they are not really an army. A suicide bomber is almost impossible to defend against. Rev. 13:5- he was able to continue 42 months. Arafat continued for 42 months during the Oslo Accords before terror finally caused the Israelis to stop giving into his demands. The last 42 months of those seven years were not nearly as productive for him. This was during the term of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister from 1996 to 1999. Rev. 13:7- power was given him over all kindreds and nations. Arafat had power over all peoples of the Earth in the United Nations. All nations wanted Israel to give back lands won in the 1967 war. Votes in the U.N. are always one-sided in favor of the Palestinians. Rev. 13:10- this is a parable. Those who lead into captivity will be taken captive. Those who kill with the sword shall be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints. Translation- If you lead others to false Gods you will be taken captive by those Gods. If you kill with the sword, which the Lord is the two-edged sword or better said the Word of God , you will be killed with the sword. In other words, believers will be taken by the Lord. This is the faith of the saints. Rev. 13:11- and I beheld another beast coming up out of the Earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. This second beast has two horns. The horns are kings. Therefore, this second beast is a country with two kings. This is the Palestinian Authority after Hamas was elected and brought into the Unity Government in 2006. Rev. 13:12- And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Hamas exercised all the power of the previous PA government because they were now an equal partner in the Government. Also, the leader of Hamas caused them to worship or honor the first beast (Mahmoud Abbas and the PA) because he would not honor the first beast. The first beast was the PA without Hamas as a member. The image of the beast is what the Government of Mahmoud Abbas represented. Verse 12 does not mention the image yet, we are just informed that he caused them to worship the first beast. Verse 14 and 15 gives the details of how that worshipping or honor was to commence. An image was created of the first beast that he (the false prophet) caused to be honored. This image of the beast is three items; the recognition of Israel, the honoring of all prior Palestinian agreements, and a renunciation of terror. Rev. 13:13- "And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the Earth in the sight of men". What is the great wonder that he does in the sight of men????? The answer is Hamas or Palestinian rocket fire on the cities of Sderot and Ashkelon. Rev. 13:15- And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast, should be killed. Hamas gave life unto the image of the beast. Why? Because Hamas would not honor the image themselves. In other words, if Hamas agreed with the image it would never have been an issue. It was born from their disagreement. Therefore, they gave it life. Another way to say it is they caused it to be or exist. Rev. 13:16- "and he caused all both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or their foreheads: Rev. 13:17- And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev.13:18- Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is, six hundred threescore and six." These last three verses all refer to the beast (Mahmoud Abbas). If you were to think of it as a time line, it drops back in time a few years. Verse 16 is the election of Mahmoud Abbas as the President of the PA Government after the death of Yasser Arafat. All voters received an indelible ink mark on their hands so they could not vote twice. This was the Mark. It says in verse 17 no one could buy and sell unless they had the mark, the name, or the number of the beast. The number of the beast happened on June 16, 2006. This was the date that a new program was established that allowed Mahmoud Abbas to receive funds to pay the salaries of his people. This program was called the Temporary International Mechanism. All salaries passed through the office of Mahmoud Abbas. Therefore, if you were a supporter of his and on his payroll you got paid. Hamas did not receive salaries. Hamas also did not receive the mark of Mahmoud Abbas. They boycotted the PA elections for President on Jan. 9, 2005. I can't do much better than that. This is why this is my last letter. There is nothing more for me to say. Now all that's left is for the final war to start. I believe that will happen very soon. This is Our Noah's Ark.

- Divisions
- Petitions of many sorts
- Bills and receipts

Notes about this Collection
Only the estate files are contained in this collection, the wills are not included. Additional records will be added to this collection as they become available.
These records are organized by the County, then alphabetically by the surname with the year of probate included in parenthesis. Some of the records are faded and may be difficult to read.
The North Carolina State Genealogical Society has partnered with FamilySearch to index these records. The estate records for the years 1669-1759 has a microfilmed index available at the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah.
General Information About These Records
Probate records were used to legally dispose of a person's estate after his or her death. The probate process transferred the following from the deceased to an executor or executrix: legal responsibility for payment of taxes, care, and custody of dependent family members, liquidation of debts, and transfer of property title to heirs. If there was no will, the transfer went to an administrator or administratrix. A guardian or conservator was appointed if the deceased had heirs younger than 21 or if the heirs were incompetent due to disability or disease.
The death date, residence, and other facts that were current at the time of the probate proceedings are reliable, but realize that there is still a chance of misinformation. The records may omit the names of deceased family members or those who had previously received an inheritance. In some cases, the spouse mentioned in the will was not the parent of the children mentioned.
Most probate records in North Carolina were created on a county level though many were later sent to the North Carolina State Archives. For the colonial period, dozens of North Carolina wills were proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in London, England. The contents of probate records vary greatly depending on the prevailing law and the personality of the record keeper. An index is being created for this collection. Additional records will be added to this collection as they become available.
For a summary of this information see the wiki article: United States, How to Use the Records Summary (FamilySearch Historical Records).

Collection Content
Probate records usually include the following kinds of information. Be aware that not all information may be found in every record:
- Name of testator or deceased
- Probate date and place
- Names of heirs such as spouse, children, and other relatives or friends
- Names of witnesses
- Residence of testator
- Lists of belongings, property, and so forth
- Document and recording dates.
- Sometimes the date of death
How Do I Search the Collection?
To begin your search you will need to know:
- The name of the deceased
- The approximate death or probate date
- The probate place
Search the Collection
To search this collection by name:
Fill in the requested information on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.
To browse by image:
To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒ Select the "County" category
⇒ Select the "Surname Letter" category
⇒ Select the "Individual's Name and Year" category which takes you to the images
Look at each image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
With either search keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks.
What Do I Do Next?
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example:
- Use the document recording dates to approximate a death date if you do not already have one.
- Use the information in the probate record to substitute for civil birth and death records since the probates exist for an earlier time period.
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of birth of the deceased to locate census, church, and land records.
- Use the occupations listed to find other types of records such as employment or military records.
- Use probate records to identify heirs and relatives.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- You may be able to use the probate record to learn about land transactions and adoptions or guardianships of any minor children and dependents.
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname as the deceased; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual. It can help you to organize the names into families.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- The information in the records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the deceased or the testator.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after 1900
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
- If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for check for variant spellings of the surnames.
What If I Can't Find Who I'm Looking For?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.
- Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
- Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor.

there was some weird package issue with (in my limited understanding) 32/64 bit libraries, so i went around making symlinks to the file my lamp installation expected to the ones that actually existed. i did this for a # of files in here:
however php still ended up not working (separate issue) and now i believe i have a screwed up lib directory. is there a way to revert those library files?

(Bismarck, N.D.) – The Bismarck region of Sanford Health will soon operate Sanford AirMed, an air ambulance helicopter service that provides medical transport to critically ill or injured patients. Sanford AirMed consists of a highly trained team of flight paramedics, flight nurses, pilots and mechanics chosen for their expertise in their fields. A flight paramedic, flight nurse and pilot will be on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Sanford AirMed service can be activated by hospitals and first responders, such as the local ambulance service, fire department or law enforcement. Sanford AirMed will transport patients to the facility of their choice or to the nearest appropriate medical facility. The helicopter can travel up to 165 miles per hour and has range of two hours and 30 minutes. This will typically serve patients within central and western North Dakota, including parts of South Dakota and Montana.
"This service is another example of Sanford Health delivering on its promise to enhance health care in central and western North Dakota," said Craig Lambrecht, MD, president of the Bismarck region of Sanford Health. "Air medical care is vital in rural areas such as ours to deliver life-saving care quickly when needed."
Sanford AirMed operates a fleet of four helicopters and four airplanes from bases in Bismarck, Fargo, Sioux Falls and Bemidji. With a dedicated Communications Center in Sioux Falls, Sanford AirMed can launch a helicopter within 10 minutes of accepting the flight from the referring hospital or first responder unit. Current plans are for the service to be operational in mid to late June.

Clarification tomorrow
No details, no requirements are given.
Stand by for a series of clarifications...
12 comments:
I don't think they will have clarifications. But by Jan 2, this will be reversed like BlackBerry case. However, I have to say Canada is just being typical. I'm Canadian too and would love to see more flights to several Canadian cities. They're closing their doors to a better trade and tourism simply to protect Air Canada, the most incompetent airline in the world. Anyone who has grown up with Air Canada will know what I mean.
They won't improve or compete nor will let anyone come in their market.

Seabee, this is related to the UAE lobbying against the Canadian Govt for control of a seat on the UN Security Council.
UAE Govt claims Canada has 'anti-Arab' stance..... I would suggest they may hit the negotiation table shortly....

ohhh shit!!!! my boss will get so angry!!! He travels to dubai alot from Saudi Arabia... and this will upset him.. loooool

Seems to be legit - Gulf News have just published more details.
Apparently its in retaliation for Canada's decision to ban government officials from using UAE airlines.

I remember a specific set of spokespersons were appointed to provide the official communication.... I wonder what happened. May be we also need a clarification here?
- November 09, 2010 9:25 pm
- Seabee said...
Khalil, you're right. I posted about that at the time and I'd almost forgotten it - I wonder if they were ever appointed or what happened...

"They won't improve or compete nor will let anyone come in their market. "
MM, were you talking about Air Canada or Etisalat?
Its funny how Dubai is suddenly a champion for free trade when they are so restrictive when it comes to the telecom market or importing stuff "exclusive distributors" anyone ?
- November 10, 2010 3:02 pm
- Ahmed said...
This was bound to happen. The negotiations on landings rights have been going on for several years now.
As MM has pointed out, the Canadian govt has been shielding an inefficient airline.
- November 10, 2010 8:42 pm
Canadian authorities are making all efforts to create problems for the passengers coming in from UAE.
Just arrived here 2 days ago on Emirates, upon clearance from immigration and collection of my baggage was told to go to another room where a number of officials were checking through the baggage of passengers and all I saw were my fellow passengers from Emirates flight. The officials were rude, took every thing out from my three pieces and then told me to pack them quickly and clear their counter as they have to treat others.
This did not happen last year when I travelled to Canada on KLM, I just passed through without opening a single piece of my luggage.

Governments and adults behaving like spiteful five year olds, making life difficult for normal people. Great isn't it.

I think that's good step. Govt should treat all countries local on equal basis. Thumb up for UAE Government.

Thanks for the info and it can be painful for Canadians. I think that most of the Canadians are still not aware of this recent announcement.

This is a notice of the winter term for the Buckland, Massachusetts, Female School. The instructor for the winter of 1828-9 was Mary Lyon (1797-1849) who was born in Buckland. She attended Sanderson Academy in Ashfield, and upon graduation, taught at the school. She then operated the Female School which was intended to prepare young ladies to teach in district schools. In 1837, Mary Lyon founded Mount Holyoke College. It was the country's first institution of higher education for women. The Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 26, 1827 to June 27, 1837. It changed its name to the Gazette & Mercury.

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - President Donald Trump tweeted support for Republican Senate candidate and accused child molester Roy Moore Monday morning, stating in part, "Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama."
The president went on to say that Republicans need Moore to win because of his stand on "crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more."
Alabama's Moore is running against Democrat Doug Jones, who President Trump referred to as "a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!" in Monday morning's tweet.
In a second tweet about 45 minutes later, Trump said Jones would "hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders...& so much more."
Moore remains under fire following multiple accusations of sexual misconduct, which he has repeatedly denied.

August 2011
The Gulf of Mexico covers more than 700,000 square miles in Southeast North America. It is bordered by the coast of the United States from Florida to Texas and the East coast of Mexico from Tamaulipas to Yucatán.
The Caribbean Sea is approximately a 970,000 square mile arm of the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered on the North and East by the West Indies archipelago, on the South by South America and on the West by the Central American Isthmus. The Caribbean has a counterclockwise current: water enters through the Lesser Antilles. Volcanic activity and earthquakes are common in the Caribbean, as are destructive hurricanes that originate over the sea or the Atlantic. The Gulf Stream current is formed from waters of both the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially ranges from June 1 through November 30. On August 7th, 2008, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) projected an 85% probability of an above-normal season – up from 65% in May. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center increased the likelihood of an above-normal hurricane season and raised the total number of named storms and hurricanes that may form. Tropical systems acquire a name upon reaching tropical storm strength with sustained winds of at least 39 mph. Tropical storms become hurricanes when winds reach 74 mph, and become major hurricanes when winds reach 111 mph.
Twelve named storms formed already in the 2008 season. Tropical Storm Arthur affected the Yucatan Peninsula in late May and early June. Bertha was a major hurricane and the longest-lived July storm (July 3-20) on record. Tropical Storm Cristobal skirted the North Carolina coastline. Dolly made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane at South Padre Island, Texas on July 23. The fifth storm, Tropical Storm Edouard, struck the upper Texas coast on August 5th. While the sixth storm, Tropical Storm Fay, struck Florida August 15 - 26. As of August 29th, two additional named storms, Gustav and Hanna, formed; Gustav made landfall in Cuba, then in Louisiana the following day. The ninth storm, Ike, made landfall on Galveston Island on September 13 as a Category 2 hurricane and continued on to Houston and Port Arthur; Ike also brought extensive damage to southern Louisiana. Tropical Storm Josephine was named as the tenth storm on September 2. In late September, the eleventh storm, Kyle, made landfall as a hurricane in Nova Scotia; on September 29, Laura was named the twelfth storm of 2008.

Is a lemon law attorney in Ohio needed?
A new vehicle is a major expenditure in most people's budgets. After the planning, saving, and shopping; you placed your hard earned cash at risk after listening to the manufacturer's assurances that you are acquiring a quality product. Now, when you count on that vehicle to perform as expected, you have been severely disappointed. Worse yet, the dealer and manufacturer combination are giving you the run-a-round when it comes to honoring their commitment - guaranteeing your satisfaction once you purchase their product. What do you do now?
The right move is to seek out Luxenburg & Levin to obtain the justice authorized by the Ohio Lemon Laws. This is not the time to be a self-starter. It is the time to hire the legal firm that makes lemon car resolution the centerpiece of their practice. This gives you the best chance of receiving the settlement that compensates you properly for the hardships that you had endured.
For more on why you need a lemon lawyer
Featured Article
How to Identify a Lemon?
It is usually pretty obvious to the consumer that they have purchased a lemon and they are aware that there is a lemon law in the state of Ohio, but do you know how to determine whether your vehicle qualifies for relief?
Why are we the best choice for your defective car, boat, RV or other motor vehicle case?
When seeking the best lemon law lawyer to represent you, there are 3 points that you need to consider: Experience, Service, and Fee Arrangement. Via this website, we hope to educate you as to what matters most in choosing competent legal representation. Not only that, we do hope that it becomes clear that Luxenburg & Levin, LLC is the legal firm that will get you results. Here is what you should be considering:
Our 21 combined years in pursuit of consumer rights gives us the ability to use the OH lemon laws to clients' advantage. During this time, we have developed a sound strategy to obtaining the best results. Our goal is to reduce the amount of time it takes to successfully resolve your case, not to perpetuate it. Some larger firms may stretch out a case to rack up billable hours. A lack of experience in dealing with the Ohio lemon laws may also result in a long process or unfavorable result.
For more information on our OH lemon law experience
Providing great service is one of our founding principles. We had noticed that accruing billable hours seems to the principle of other legal firms, and this is something that we wanted to differentiate us from them. We hope that service is something that you notice by our actions of taking a personal interest in your dilemma, not through insincere advertising.
For more on our high quality lemon law services
To sum it all up: we never get paid more than recovered amount from the manufacturer of the lemon that you were having issues with. This concept was designed to protect you and instill the confidence of pursuing a large company for damages, shifting the risk to us to perform.
It makes little sense to be compensated for your loss but to incur even more financial burden in paying your lawyer. With this burden lifted off your shoulders, you are free to pursue compensation without worry. This is an important point to keep in mind when seeking legal assistance.
For more on our unique attorney fee arrangement
- The first step to see how we can help you get rid of your lemon car (or other product) is to contact us for a free lemon case review. We are well versed on the Ohio lemon law for cars and can provide you with immediate advice. Call us toll-free to speak directly to a lemon law attorney now at (877) 846-1209. In the alternative, you can also fill out our form anywhere on this web site. Your information will be immediately forwarded to one of the experienced lemon law attorneys in our firm who will contact you promptly to discuss your situation further. If you prefer, you can fax your repair records and contact information to us toll-free at (866) 551-7791.
- After we accept a new lemon law client, we immediately notify the manufacturer by sending a letter to its legal department outlining the defects you have endured with your lemon and the applicable state and federal laws. Most of the manufacturers have specific lawyers or employees whose jobs involve the settlement of lemon law and breach of warranty claims with law firms like ours. These people have a great deal more authority to resolve your lemon situation then the people with whom you speak when you call the phone number in the back of your warranty book. It is our experience, from talking to hundreds of consumers who have attempted to negotiate their own settlements with the vehicle manufacturers, that it will usually get you nowhere. Haven't you been through enough frustration with your lemon already?
More often than not, we are able to settle our client's claims without ever having to file a lawsuit. Most of the manufacturers understand that a prompt and reasonable settlement is in their best interest and your best interest. Usually we allow approximately 30 days for the manufacturer and its lawyers to review your claims and make an offer, although in most instances we receive an offer to settle your case sooner than that.
- If we do not receive a reasonable offer, or if we receive no response, we then proceed with litigation by filing a complaint against the manufacturer in the appropriate local court. Once the manufacturer hires an attorney to represent its interests in the lemon law case, we continue to try to settle your case. Simply because a lawsuit is filed does not mean that you will not receive a settlement. Sometimes the manufacturer just needs that extra push to see that we are serious. Historically, over 99% of all the lemon law cases our firm has handled have settled without ever having to go to trial.
The litigation process includes "discovery," which is the method by which lawyers obtain information to support their client's cases. We request documents from the manufacturer regarding the service history of your vehicle. We ask specific questions, or "interrogatories," which must be answered in writing to help narrow the issues. We have subpoenas served upon all of the dealerships and repair shops that have done work on your vehicle to obtain your repair records (if they do not provide the information voluntarily). In some cases, we will arrange for a local mechanic to perform a detailed inspection of your lemon vehicle and write us a report so that he can serve as an expert witness in your case.
Engaging in litigation and discovery does not mean that we are resolving ourselves to a trial. We have found that the most effective way to force the manufacturers to address our client's cases is to continually put pressure on them. This usually proves successful in the settlement of lemon law and breach of warranty cases. However, if a case does not settle, the appropriate level of work and preparation will have been performed for trial.
We also represent lemon law clients in Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

There are two systems. One in which the sixteen bhumis directly correspond with the thirteen bhumis + three. Another where the bhumis are given as descriptive names for experiences through the four visions.
They are both correct explanations.

Every year, November 11th is set aside as a day for Americans to remember and honor veterans of all wars who fought to protect the freedoms we all too often take for granted.
This Veterans Day we must also take time to thank those servicemen and women currently protecting us and our way of life for their continued dedication to service and sacrifice.
Veterans Day should not only be a time of solemn reflection, but also a time of celebration for the victories that our nation has achieved in our struggle to preserve peace, freedom, justice and democracy.
As we think about our nation's veterans, we must also work to ensure that the commitments promised to them are kept.
As a country, we need to do a better job of supporting our returning service members by helping them secure employment after leaving active duty. I was happy to recently support legislation that provides services to veterans such as vocational rehabilitation and employment programs, educational assistance and housing loan programs.
Another challenge that must be addressed is making the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) more responsive to veterans' needs.
While Washington state has a growing veteran population, the VA is slow to react to the need for expanded health care access in our state.
Earlier this year, I joined other representatives in sending a letter to the president asking him to take direct action in decreasing the number of disability claims pending at the VA. I also recently supported legislation to establish a task force to evaluate the backlog of claims with the VA in addition to the appeals process of claims. Our veterans deserve access to the benefits they have earned in a timely manner.
Veterans in central Washington also need better access to health care – they simply should not have to travel for several hours to access the care they need. The VA must provide more flexibility and be more responsive to the veterans it exists to serve. That is why I have consistently supported legislation to allow the VA to contract with local hospitals and clinics in order to allow veterans to take advantage of health care in their hometowns.
On Veterans Day, I encourage you to take time to observe this day with reverence and gratitude for those who have served in all branches of the armed forces for their tireless dedication to maintaining our safety and our freedom.
To the men and women that have answered our nation's call to duty, I say thank you for your selflessness, for defending our shores and for protecting our freedoms.
May you always be remembered as guardians of the principles and ideals embodied in our Constitution.
- Congressman Doc Hastings represents the Yakima Valley in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A four-story building in a Paris suburb collapsed after an explosion on Sunday morning, killing a child and an elderly woman, and emergency teams are searching the rubble for others still missing.
About 150 emergency workers were on hand with sniffer dogs trying to find six people unaccounted for, said the prefect of Saint-Seine-Denis, Philippe Galli.
An 8-year-old child died in the building's collapse, and firefighters found an unconscious 80-year-old woman in the debris who died while being taken out, fire department spokesman Gabriel Plus said.
Ten people, four of them seriously wounded, were pulled out of the rubble, he said.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking to reporters at the scene, said the explosion at around 7 a.m. local time appeared to have been caused by a gas leak.
"We should be prudent, because there are investigations ongoing. There is no certainty," he said.
One side of the building in the suburb of Rosny-Sous-Bois was ripped off completely, exposing the interiors of the apartments. Local authorities said the structure itself appeared to conform to building codes.
Local residents who rushed to help in the moments after the blast described a nightmarish scene.
"We tried to take people out," said Arafet Brahim, who said he and his friends pulled out some children who appeared to be in good shape, but also found remains of the deceased.
"Frankly it was horrible, I don't know how to describe that moment," he said.

Bulky Brioche Cardigan
Bulky Brioche Cardigan – Ann Budd
For this generous raglan sweater, Ann Budd has knitted a bulky hand-dyed yarn in brioche stitch to give a vertical element to the inherent horizontal stripes. The sweater body and sleeves are worked in the round from the lower edges to the armholes, then joined and continued as a single piece to the loose, open neck. Ann shapes the armholes along raglan lines by working double decreases that maintain the integrity of the rib pattern. When the piece comes off the needles, the only seams to sew are at the underarms.
Finished Size 351⁄4 (381⁄2, 411⁄2, 443⁄4, 48)" (89.5 [98, 105.5, 113.5, 122] cm) bust/chest circumference. Sweater shown measures 411⁄2" (105.5 cm).
Yarn Black Forest Yarns Naturwolle (100% wool; 110 yd [110 m]/100 g): #60 potpourri, 7 (8, 9, 10, 11) skeins. Yarn distributed by Muench Yarns.
Needles Size 11 (8 mm): 24" (60-cm) circular (cir) and set of 4 or 5 double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions Markers (m); open-ring or removable markers; stitch holders; tapestry needle.
Gauge 10 sts and 24 rnds = 4" (10 cm) in brioche st, worked in the rnd. To check your rnd gauge in brioche st, measure straight up along a single column of knit sts on the RS, and count each st in the column as 2 rnds.

A WOMAN from Birmingham who falsely accused a man of rape has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Sara Downing, 23, of West Cliff Place, Weoley Castle, made the allegation against the unnamed man last September, leading to his arrest.
It was only after a medical examination that the man was cleared and Downing came clean about the claim in November.
Birmingham Crown Court heard she made the false claim to a friend who convinced Downing to report the incident to the police.
Richard Franck QC, prosecuting, said the accused man was arrested and held for three hours and then bailed.
He remained on bail and under suspicion for three months, during which time his mobile phone and car were confiscated.
"He described it as traumatic," said Mr Franck. "In a victim impact statement he said his life had been put on hold and his name dragged through the mud."
Gerrard Cullen QC, defending, said once she admitted the lie she told police in passing she had been raped but could not reveal the identity of the attacker through fear and so gave the false name.
She said she had met the man she accused months before when they were both patients in hospital.
"She was backed into a corner and she gave a false name." Mr Cullen said. "Once that lie was out of the bag she had to go along with it," Mr Cullen said. "She offers an unreserved apology to the victim, she is disgusted with herself."
In mitigation Mr Cullen said at the time she made the allegation Downing was in a distressed state and since then had also lost her father who committed suicide.
Handing Downing a two-year prison sentence and one month for a Bail Act offence, Judge Robert Orme said false rape allegations made real offences harder to prosecute because of the doubt they place in the mind of juries.
"You invented that story without regard for the dreadful consequences that befell him.
"It could have been brought to an end with a word from you.
"It is the gravity of the offence that has made me pass this sentence."

WW2 Luftwaffe bombers over Chichester
A 1940s German target identification photo-document for pilots to use in air-raids
To enable Luftwaffe bomber aircrew to identify their targets from the air during the raids on each town or city, their pilots were issued with an A4-size loose-leaf photo-document set containing a map and printed half-tone aerial photograph(s) of the specific area to be attacked.
These documents varied in size for individual towns or cities from single pages, printed both sides, to several pages of photographs. Each image was captioned to assist in navigation, positioning and target identification purposes and the crews were ordered ... "Zum Verbrauch! Mitnahme von Ausschnitten des Bildteiles zum Feindflug gestattet" (To be used! ... take these photographs with you on raids).
An original Luftwaffe Chichester set
This WW2 Luftwaffe pilot's set for air-raids on Chichester consists of:
4 sheets, 11 x 8 inches (30 cms x 21 cms), printed both sides. 7 pages of Luftwaffe map and photographs. 1 map, targets or other features marked in red. 4 full-page and 3 half-page aerial photographs, captioned in German.
This original photo-document set has great historical significance both as one of the few surviving German wartme documents planning bombing activity over Britain and as an exceedingly scarce local history item.

St. Charles City-County Library District
Board of Trustees
June 11, 2013
The St. Charles City-County Library District Board of Trustees met at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at the Administrative Office. This branch is located at 77 Boone Hills Dr., St. Peters, MO.
Board Members present:
Board members absent:
Library Staff present:
Citizens present:
Vice-President Jerry Cook called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm with the Pledge of Allegiance. Five members responded to roll call. Dr. Cook opened the floor for public comments; there was one request from Juli Viel.
Citizen Juli Viel spoke about climate change and how it is affecting our environment. Ms. Viel provided several handouts and pamphlets on climate change.
Jim Brown announced that Margaret Conroy accepted the Assistant Director position. Most recently, Ms. Conroy has been the Missouri State Librarian since 2006. Ms. Conroy will start with the District on July 15.
The following reports were included in the Board packet.
Kristin William's updated the Board members on this particular initiative as part of the Strategic Plan. This group is working diligently to evaluate internal communication and to develop effective procedures and tools. The overall goal of the group is not only to improve internal communication, but to provide a "culture of trust" with open, two-way communication.
Ms. Williams announced two significant donations. The Foundation received a $12,000 grant from Boeing for the Ready to Read Campaign, and Enterprise donated $5000 for the Take 20 and Read program.
Maggie Preiss shared the District's "Curious Garden Picture Book Walk" program which opened on June 3 at Quail Ridge Park. Amy Koester, Children's Librarian at Corporate Parkway, worked closely with the St. Charles County Parks department and the publisher to create this awesome, one-of-a-kind walk! Nearly 400 people participated!
Consent Agenda
John Thoelke made a recommendation to the minutes from the May 14 meeting. Georganne MacNab pointed out that Lisa Pelikan is listed 'absent' and 'present' at that meeting.
MOTION: Joann Leykam moved to approve the Consent Agenda as amended. Mary Reese seconded. Motion passed six affirmative, zero negative, zero abstentions, and three absent.
The FY14 Budget is complete and presented with a few minor changes.
13-26 FY14 Budget Markup—Materials
There are a couple of minor changes to the Materials budget, but the changes did not affect the overall total. The FY14 Materials Budget, as presented, is $3,384,937.
13-36 FY14 Budget Markup—Furnishings and Equipment
There are no changes to the original Furnishings and Equipment budget. The FY14 Furnishings and Equipment Budget, as presented, is $352,625.
13-37 FY14 Budget Markup—Technology and Telecommunications
There are no changes to the original Technology and Telecommunications budget. The FY14 Technology and Telecommunications Budget, as presented, is $536,019.
13-38 FY14 Budget Markup—Personnel
The District is recommending a 1% salary increase. The Personnel Budget, as presented, is $10,905,262.
13-39 FY14 Budget Markup—Operations
Several adjustments were made to the Operations portion of the FY14 Budget; a detailed list was included in each Trustee's packet. The Operations Budget, as presented, is $2,744,535.
The recommendation presented by the District is to pass the FY14 Budget with a 1% matrix increase to the Salary Schedule with the intention, to minimize the reduction in Reserves, of "rolling up" the tax rate to .2265 in September.
If the Board approves the recommendation, the reduction in Reserves is approximately $702,000.
If the Board approves the 1% salary increase and keeps the tax rate at .2181 in September, the reduction in Reserves is approximately $1,285,640.
Joann Leykam did suggest that scenarios similar to this are one reason why we keep Reserves. Reserves are there not just to build, but also for situations like this when tax revenues are not as high as in the past.
Mary Reese shared a letter that she had received in the mail at her home. A couple of other Board members indicated that they too had received the letter. The letter was addressed to the 'Board of Trustees' and is regarding 'Part Time, Non-Exempt Employees'. Also included in the letter was a copy of "a message sent to staff regarding PPACA Healthcare and 28 hours per week" on May 8, 2013 from Jim Brown to all staff via the District's email, Stafftalk.
Jim Brown explained that under policy E111 permanent part time employees were budgeted at 28 hours or less per week, not to exceed 1499 hours per year. The 1499 hours per year complies with eligibility criteria for the Missouri Local Government Retirement System (LAGERS) as outlined in policy E480. Previous practice had been to monitor the annual number of hours worked based on a calendar year to insure all non-exempt part time employees did not exceed 1499 hours per year. However, within these guidelines a part time employee was allowed to accept additional substitute hours beyond their budgeted position, not to exceed 40 hours in a week or the 1499 in a year. Benefit hours such as annual, sick, or holiday hours were not included as part of the 1499 calculation.
The new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires employers to calculate all service hours (hours worked plus any benefit hours) to determine eligibility for health care insurance. PPACA defines a full time employee as one whose service hours average 30 hours per week. PPACA requires employers to develop a "look back" period in 2013 to determine the number of full time employees who would be eligible for health care coverage. Based on an audit of part time employee hours for the first quarter of calendar 2013, 38 % of the District's part time staff averaged more than 30 hours per week and would be considered full time under PPACA. As a result, Jim Brown directed part time staff to limit all service hours to 28 hours per week.

There are a lot of things to consider when you're looking for a computer case. Everything from the size, physical appearance, and even the amount of noise it puts off go into your decision. You might not think that last item is all that important, but there are plenty of situations where a noisy computer can be a nuisance. Sure, you can drown out loud fans with music, but you shouldn't need to do that. Instead, you can get a silent case, such as the NZXT H2.
This chassis has more to offer than just sound-dampening foam to keep it quiet. Extra features such as USB 3.0 support and a a built-in hard drive dock make this one worth a second look. But do these features make this case stand out enough to make it a must-buy for your next PC? Check out the full review over at GamerFront to find out.

When Shashi Tharoor's wife was found dead in a swanky Delhi hotel last week after their marital strife had been splashed on Twitter, the colourful career of a jet-setting minister looked in doubt and another symbol of India's elite lost its sheen.
A magistrate who conducted an inquest has ordered police to investigate the death of Tharoor's wife, Sunanda Pushkar. She died on Friday just days after she accessed his Twitter account to accuse him of adultery with a Pakistani journalist and getting into a public spat with the woman.
An autopsy has found that Pushkar likely died of an overdose of anti-depressant drugs. Tharoor, who was once a candidate for UN secretary general, has asked authorities to speedily conclude investigations, saying he was "horrified" by media speculation about him and his wife.
The widely published photographs of a distraught Tharoor after his wife's funeral are in stark contrast to years of media coverage of the well-dressed, former high-flying diplomat who has been courted from India's cocktail party circuit to US television chat shows.
A prolific author and one of India's first major tweeting politicians, the US-educated lawmaker and the beautiful Kashmiri who became his third wife were regulars in the social pages. But Tharoor has also been immersed in a corruption scandal and Twitter controversies have dogged him for years.
Media accounts of Pushkar's last days, spiced by the involvement of a journalist from Pakistan, have gripped the country over the past week.
The tale of one of the wealthiest figures in government has coincided with the growing prominence of politicians who have emphasised their less-privileged roots.
Anti-corruption leader Arvind Kejriwal, a former tax civil servant who leads the Common Man's Party and eschews VIP privileges like official cars, and Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi, touting himself as the son of a tea stall owner, are now dominating as a general election approaches.
"This is the era of the rise of the common man, the tea seller," said Sagarika Ghose, deputy editor of CNN-IBN and a leading political commentator. "There is a sense that Tharoor is not what India is about these days. "There is a feeling that the elites are getting their comeuppance, that their time has gone."
The drama around Tharoor comes after a series of scandals that have dented the idea of a rising, 'confident' India. The image of an economic juggernaut was undermined last year when growth fell to its lowest in a decade.
Politicians have been dogged by allegations of corruption on a spectacular scale, and a grisly gang rape in Delhi at the end of 2012 that sparked huge protests has marred the "Incredible India" slogan meant to draw tourists from around the globe.
Even a former Supreme Court judge has been probed over alleged sexual harassment and one of India's most powerful journalists was arrested last month in another sexual assault case.
Tharoor may survive politically. He has received backing from the leader of the ruling Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, and sympathy from many politicians. One TV channel called him the "Comeback Kid" for his ability to bounce back from reverses.
"There's a tendency to caricature Tharoor. He's glamorous, in gossip columns, a fashion statement," said Ghose. "But he is also a very intelligent man and talented politician."
Tharoor left India as a student and, after nearly three decades at the United Nations, he returned to join local politics when he lost to Ban Ki-moon in the race for Secretary-General in 2006.
He made his mark quickly, becoming one of the first Indian politicians to harness social media. His Twitter handle shows more than 2 million followers. "He became a symbolic person for a more modern India," said Bhaskara Rao, a well-known commentator on social and political issues and head of a New Delhi-based think tank.
Tharoor has had his share of problems. As junior foreign minister, his political career almost ended after he tweeted that he would fly "cattle class" in solidarity with "holy cows" - sparking a storm of criticism from the country's Hindu majority, for whom the cow is sacred.
Tharoor was also reprimanded by his foreign minister that same year for criticising the tightening of tourist visa requirements.
In 2010, Tharoor resigned over allegations concerning a $333 million cricket league franchise bid when it was revealed - again on Twitter - that the winning consortium allotted stakes worth about $15 million for free to Pushkar, his then-girlfriend.
Tharoor returned to the council of ministers two years later and is now the minister for human resource development. "He has a charming personality and is an astute commentator," said Rao. "But the hype also has its pitfalls. And that is rather symbolic of the emergence of India." –Reuters

Tennessee Student Hospitalized After Alcohol Enema
Liquor, funnels and rubber hoses used for drinking games? Certainly not anything new on large college campuses. But one group of fraternity brothers at the University of Tennessee decided to take things to a whole other level last weekend.
20-year-old Alexander Broughton was rushed to the UT Medical Center Saturday morning and was treated for acute alcohol poisoning. His blood alcohol content registered at more than 0.4, a level that can be potentially deadly. But this was more than a simple case of binge drinking gone wrong. No, Broughton and some of his Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers had decided to speed things up by using rubber tubing to give each other alcohol enemas.
We'll give you a minute to process that image for just a minute. It's OK. We'll wait. Wow, that was way too graphic of an image dude. Let's move on.
Alcohol enemas rapidly speed up the process of inebriation by allowing the alcohol to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream and cutting out the middle man (a.k.a. your liver). University officials say, based on their initial investigation, this was not some bizarre hazing ritual but rather a group of frat guys just looking to get drunk as fast as possible. No criminal charges are currently pending.
No word yet on when the first B-list celebrity will record an anti-alcohol enema public service announcement or liquor bottles will start carrying warning labels reading "For oral consumption only."

Executive Summary INTRODUCTION A livable community has affordable and appropriate housing, supportive features and services, and adequate mobility options for people, regardless of age or ability. As communities address the general shortage of affordable housing, preserving affordable housing in transit-oriented developments (TODs) is one of the challenges that communities can address to increase their livability. TODs are compact, walkable, mixed-use communities that are developed around high-quality public transportation. Residents often prize these places for the advantages created by the proximity to transportation and other amenities. One consequence of this desirability is that it can increase land and property values, exacerbating housing affordability challenges. As policymakers try to extend the benefits of TODs to affordable housing locations, they must ensure that those benefits are available to people of low and moderate incomes and to those with different mobility…

Market Value Analysis: Understanding Where and How to Invest Limited Resources
July 20, 2006
More Resources:
Building 100 affordable homes in the middle of an area of distress and disinvestment may help only the 100 families who receive the homes. But those same 100, built in another location and bundled with other related activities, may help not only those 100 households, but the hundreds of residents around them. The Market Value Analysis (MVA) is an effective instrument to help create that kind of impact. The MVA identifies where and how to invest limited resources that can transform urban real estate markets into revitalized neighborhoods.

The study that resulted in this book was initiated in September 2001 to examine how decisions about public transportation, land development and redevelopment, and historic preservation have complemented one another in dozens of communities nationwide. The goal of the study was to demonstrate how transit and historic preservation act as compatible forces to revitalize communities. We set out to illuminate the many ways in which communities of all sizes have restored their urban or suburban cores and made full use of those centers' capacities to help metropolitan areas grow sustainably. We wanted to find out how historic preservation values are informing community planning for public transit, and how these values are being used in development decisions intended to promote transit use.

How would it look like?
I would like some high-quality brainstorming on this. The more accurate thoughts the better.
Views: 1081
I think it would look exactly like it does, since there is no god.
But I suppose you mean how would people act in society without fear of punishment or hope of reward? I think we would be more advanced, at least in a few areas. Scientifically speaking, things would be more advanced. Religion keeps people from experimenting and trying new things. Stem cell research? We would have created cures for tons more things by now! There would be no more children dying because parents refused medical treatment in favor of prayers.
If there were still wars, they would be created by a need for power, not because of religion. Women and men would be equal in all countries, because there would be no scriptures stating otherwise. Morals and ethics would be made using common sense! Perhaps there would be less local crime, but not sure I would go that far.
Yes. Two answers for this question:
1. A world without the supernatural God ( to which I agree with Moria )
2. A world without the idea of God
It's an interesting question and one at which we can only conjecture an answer. I believe it would look remarkably like what we have now. There would still be social inequality, there would still be war. We would have just one less reason for those things but that isn't to say that they would disappear completely.
This is difficult to answer because as religion/god belief withers away, there's no similar broad discussion of what to replace it with. And why should it be replaced with something? Well, in many ways, religion fills a sort of empty void in people's lives. It provides a social cohesion in many communities, while at the same time blinding people of so many other factors about life. So yeah, as religion withers away, I think we could possibly see a resurgence of enlightenment where people free themselves from social biases and political strife that has been largely influenced by various religions. Where education would help people to start thinking more critically, using scientific methodology. Where we could be more open and accepting about our sexual desires and different sexual orientations. Where we build a world that is not divided by race and nationalism. But again, I think it's hard to tell, because we're still so far way from a god-less society or world.
fills a sort of empty void in people's lives
Off the top of my head:
- the fear of death
- the infinite amount of needs and wants
- social recognition
- magic, and the power to move mountains with faith
- hell & heaven
- infinity
- infinity
- infinity
Unfortunately, I think there is also a good chance that it would be an easy "search & replace" of religion with an alternative dogma such as blind patriotism. Or some political, economic, or other philosophical viewpoint (communism, capitalism, libertarianism, green, etc).
The world would look a LOT different. Remember that the Dark Ages held us back significantly. There was a period of around 800 years where science and progress were considered heresy. During that time, a lot of the scientific progress that had been made by many human cultures was lost. The steam engine comes to mind, which was invented in the 1st century by a Greek scientist living in Egypt. We didn't rediscover that for almost 2,000 years! There were also things like mechanical doors, Da Vinci's famous designs for an airplane, etc.
Without religion, I believe we would've had the Internet, cars, cell phones, etc. sometime around the year 1200. There's no way to imagine just where we'd be by now, if not for religion holding us back and even dragging us backwards!
