Deerhunter will release a new album titled Halcyon Digest on September 28th, via 4AD . They'll set out next week on the start of a tour to support the new album.
The new Deerhunter album is being supported by a grassroots xerox poster effort by the band, in which they'd like people to download the flyer and post copies around their town on kiosks and light poles.
The band would very much like it if people would email them with pictures and news of where the posters have been hung. In return, the band will share the album's first single with the poster people before anyone else, giving them the first opportunity to hear the music. They'll also give them an exclusive non-album track.
Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox came up with the idea, based on the effect that these posters had on him when he was younger.
He said he was "...always being fascinated with the ephemera of 70's – 80's artrock in record stores like Wuxtry in Athens where I hung out as a kid or Wax 'N Facts in Atlanta. You'd see a photocopied faded B-52's flyer next to a poster for Lou Reed or XTC. It was like an artpunk scrapbook on those walls. It made my head spin. Who are these people? Who are the fucking Residents with these weird-ass eyeball faces?"

Hi, I'm dealing with an alphaserver 800 5/500 and I'm wondering how to entirely reset the nvram. I've got the latest firmware (V5.8). On microvaxes there's the 'unjam' command to reset the firmware to default values. On this alpha there's no such command. And the commands are generally different. E.g. boot -flags x.x instead of boot/x. Any idea how to reset the whole thing to the defaults on alpha? I think I can reset some single values to the defaults using 'set <envar>' with no arguments (previously set -defaults <envar>, this is now obsolete). But I would like to reset it all.
FYI: The unjam command on the VAX does not affect nvram. It's to unjam bus adapters from potentially locked state (and possibly CPU and other hardware). I think it might even be a NOP on VAXstations. The command set of the VAX boot monitor is standardized, and so, some command might not make sense on some hardware platforms, but they still exist.
Normally, the nvram is reset by removing or adding a jumper, shorting two pins on the motherboard, or something similar. Sometimes there is a button you can press to reset nvram. In all cases that I can remember, it's been something that required physical action on the machine.

So, I struggled with this in Android 4.4 for a while. My XML was correct, my code compiled, but I could not get
findViewById() to return anything but
null. What I finally figured out is that
PlaceHolderFragment.onCreateView() is called after
onCreate() for
SudokuActivity completes. This means the resources defined in the
fragment_soduku.xml file aren't yet available when you try to set the click listeners in
I copied the
<LinearLayout/> xml into my
activity_soduku.xml file and deleted the created code in
onCreate() that adds the
PlaceHolderFragment to the
FragmentManager. It finally loads correctly. I guess that's what I get for reading Hello, Android and the Google Android tutorials at the same time.
I hope this helps others struggling with this.

The Monster has been to Cuba. The Cuban food he had in Miami was better than most anything sampled in Havana. It's tantamount to Indian food often times being better in London than Mumbai. Or Chinese food being better anywhere in the world other than China.
Los Angeles isn't renowned for Cuban food. There is an ongoing debate pitting various restaurants (El Cochinito, La Cubana, El Rincon Criollo, El Floridita, Versailles etc) but generally those in the know (Cubans) tend to argue and then declare their mother is a better cook than any of these places. They very well may be right and they should invite The Monster over for dinner. But since this never happens, to satiate his desire The Monster will hit up one of the above establishments. On this day it is Versailles.
Cuban food is a mélange of Spanish, Caribbean and African influence and generally can be parsed down to: meat, beans, rice. But the things that can be done with the meat, beans, and rice can be revelatory when prepared well (and stultifyingly boring when not).
Since Angelenos tend not to care much about dishes being authentic and lean more toward a pure love of taste, The Monster isn't here to make this a polemic on whether Versailles serves authentic Cuban food, nor will he engage in which of the restaurants reigns supreme.
The various locations of Versailles tend to be modest affairs, often with the lights turned off (very authentic!) and waiters who do just enough to remind you that someone is serving you and you don't have to go to the kitchen and ladle the food onto the plate yourself.
The meal starts off with chicken empanadas. Large, golden brown affairs filled with minced meat, they look decidedly unimpressive on the plate (great presentation Versailles, don't try too hard!). The Monster even questions whether perhaps they will need a sauce. But when he bites into them that thought is quickly suppressed. Versailles' empanadas remind The Monster of their cousin, the Jamaican patty. And like those, there is plenty of flavor within the outer crust to warrant eating them sans sauce. Fine start.
Next up come the Camarones Enchilados (shrimp in distinct Creole sauce). Nope. There is nothing distinct about them besides being a small portion with little taste. See, that would make them normal if you were in Cuba and served the same dish. What The Monster wants is something inauthentic, large shrimp in delicious sauce. Not happening.
Lastly, on this day The Monster orders the Famoso Pollo Versailles (Versailles famous garlic chicken) which is a roasted half chicken marinated in garlic sauce and garnished with sliced onions. The meat is tender, the garlic pungent, the onions crisp. While simple, it is a taste explosion that when covered in rice and beans brings The Monster back to his time in Cuba.
Desserts at Versailles tend to be the type of items that send you looking for another place to get a sugar fix and since The Monster never drinks coffee it's time to get the bill and hit the road.
Why go? Your mother isn't Cuban.
Monster rating: 3/5 Monsters

Affiliate Marketing Success Thru Affiliate, Clickbank Commissions and Article MarketingAuthor: Franck Silvestre
Affiliate marketers often neglect one aspect of website promotion to earn more money online.
Do you want to know what this powerful method is?
What would you say id I told that this is totally free?
This method is known as article marketing. I earned thousands of dollars on the Internet writing simple three hundreds words articles, and believe me, you don't need to be an Internet veteran to do the same.
Even a complete beginner can do it. All you need is the proper instructions and a strong mindset.
When you have these two, just be ready to apply what you are going to learn, and sooner than later you will be earning a couple of hundreds dollars a month, and soon a couple of thousands like me and the elite of super affiliates.
Now here is how to earn big money from affiliate marketing instead of watching others and wondering how you can do it.
1. Pick a winning niche market
2. Set up a clickbank account
3. Get your affiliate link
4. Write articles
5. Submit them
Believe me, there is nothing else to this method. Don't try to other complicate it. Keep it simple and you will make more money as a result.
One question remain here: Do you need a website for this to work?
I will always recommend that you get your own website. You will not find a serious affiliate marketer that say you that you are going to earn a lot without your very own website.
Let me tell you a secret. Actually, super affiliate own more than a single website. Did you know this?
You will eventually reach this level, but for now, you want to start with only one website and one niche while you are learning the process.
Once you start to earn three hundreds dollars per month, just enter another niche and repeat what you did in the first place.

Denis Diderot, a central figure of the great ideological revolution known as the Enlightenment , was a French author, philosopher, critic, and encyclopedist. As a radical freethinker, he was often embroiled in controversy. He is remembered above all for his pioneering attempt to synthesize all knowledge currently available in the eighteenth century: the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers (co-edited with Jean D'Alembert). Among some 200 contributors to the Encyclopédie were the most important philosophes of the Enlightenment: Condorcet , Montesquieu , Rousseau , and Voltaire . The Encyclopédie was published between 1751 and 1772, but some of its 28 volumes and supplements were condemned as impious, or for propagating unorthodox ideas, by Pope Clément XIII and the French Conseil d'état in 1759, after which the royal privilege was withdrawn and subsequent volumes were relatively ignored by contemporaries. Diderot was born to a bourgeois family in Champagne in 1713. Frustrated by the slow pace of his studies, Diderot briefly joined his father's cutlery business, but after only a few days he decided to become an Abbé. He inherited his uncle's position as canon at the local church when he was 15 years old. However, the cathedral chapter, objecting to such a young man assuming the position, blocked the appointment, so Diderot left ... log in or subscribe to read full text

Rabbis To Demonstrate Against President Obama's Policies Toward Israel Thursday In Front Of Israel Consulate In Miami; Also To Speak To Lynn University Students Before Debate
Oct 15, 2012, 08:05 ET from Real Peace Middle East
MIAMI, Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Just days before the final Presidential debate at Lynn University, a group of Democratic and Republican Rabbis plan to stir the geopolitical pot by demonstrating in front of the Israeli Consulate Thursday in protest against President Obama's policies toward Israel.
"This will be clearest demonstration yet by Rabbis to voice objection of the Obama Administration's policies towards America's most strategic ally in the region," said Rabbi Sam Intrator. "The discussion toward peace needs to be broadened to include recognition of Israel as a Jewish state by the Palestinian Authority. Instead, the Obama Administration's sole focus has been on Israeli housing and building instead of comprehensively addressing all the obstacles to real peace. The Obama Administration has unfairly engaged in one sided public floggings of Israel without issuing consistent major condemnation of the PA for forming a coalition government with Hamas, a world- recognized terrorist entity that seeks the violent destruction of Israel," says Rabbi Intrator.
The demonstration in front of the Israel Consulate at 100 N. Biscayne Blvd. at 18th Street at 11 AM Thursday will include a brief press conference in which Rabbis will express their disapproval of Obama's policies toward the Middle East.
Real Peace Middle East (www.rpme.org) is organizing the demonstration, which will be the first of many similar protests by Rabbis leading up to the final debate at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fl., including a protest across street from where President Obama and Gov. Romney are set to have their final debate.
Rabbi Intrator also will be speaking to students at Lynn University Thursday afternoon where he will show Lynn students from around the world, including from South American and Muslim countries, a trilogy of mini webisodes RPME produced that satirize U.S. policies and attitudes toward Israel that he said have hampered, instead of helped to bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Those videos can be seen on YouTube at

Negotiations with first-round draft pick Dustin Ackley are just getting underway, but the Seattle Mariners apparently are close to signing Kyle Seager, his North Carolina teammate.
Jim Street of MLB.com reports that a deal for Seager, the team's third-round pick, could be complete by the end of the week. You can read that story here.
Seager plays second or third base and was a key contributor on the North Carolina squad that advanced to the College World Series for a fourth straight season this year.
The Mariners drafted three Tar Heels players and have signed one, relief pitcher Brian Moran, who was selected in the seventh-round.
The Mariners have come to terms with 21 of their 52 draftees, with Moran being the only one from among the first 10 rounds.
Moran has been assigned to Pulaski, the Mariners team in the rookie Appalachian League. Here's a Q&A he did this week with InsideCarolina.com.
As the No. 2 pick in the first round, Ackley remains the big fish, obviously. It'll be interesting to see whether the M's can make any progress in getting him signed in time to play in the minor-league system this summer.

A question often asked of those who argue for infant baptism is, "What good does it do the infant?" Those who ask this question generally think they have nailed the defender, as there is no obvious benefit to the infant.
The infant hardly seems to be aware of what is transpiring, let alone being aware of any benefit. Many who were baptized as infants, coming to faith as adults, desire to be baptized as adults, rationalizing that their baptism didn't mean anything to them.
Such an approach to baptism, however, fails to recognize the true character of baptism, and fails also to recognize the real benefit of the rite to the infant. As to its true character, baptism (infant or adult) is not a public profession of a faith in Christ already acted upon. This view of baptism is readily drawn from a mistaken examination of Acts 2, which is then imposed on other texts having to do with baptism. The main problems with this understanding of Acts 2 are that first, it makes the mistake of drawing doctrinal conclusions from narrative texts; and second, it fails to recognize the transitional character of the situation in Acts 2.
Baptism rather is a sign of the covenant. That baptism is a covenant sign follows from the identification of circumcision and baptism (Col2:11-12), the continuity of the covenant in the church with the covenant with Abraham (Gal 3:9-14), and the identification of circumcision as a covenantal sign in Gen 17. Baptism is thus a sign upon the recipient that he or she is recognized as a member of the covenant people of God. (There is obviously more to it than this, but for the purposes of this short exposition, this is adequate.)
If baptism is the New Testament equivalent of circumcision, and thus a covenant sign, we must look to the Old Testament and its discussion of covenant signs in order to determine what the advantage there is for the infant who is baptized.
The first covenant sign mentioned in the Old Testament is the rainbow (Gen 9:8-17). In this passage, we learn that the covenant sign is not for man only. Certainly it is understood that man benefits from seeing the rainbow, and remembering that God has established this as a sign that he will not again destroy the earth by a flood. But the emphasis of the text itself is on the importance to God of the sign. "When I bring the clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh" (Gen 9:14-15). That is, the sign functions for God.
The same thing occurs in regard to the second covenant sign discussed in the Old Testament (circumcision—Genesis 17). "My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant" (Gen 17:13-14). That is, if God does not see the sign of the covenant in the child, he considers that child no member of the covenant people.
This understanding is what lies behind the otherwise cryptic passage in Exodus 4, regarding Moses on his return to Egypt (vss 24-26). Moses was being sent to lead the covenant people out of Egypt, but he had not obeyed God in having his own sons circumcised. Thus his own sons were cut off from the covenant people. So Zipporah performed the circumcision, laying the foreskin at Moses' feet, and calling him a bridegroom of blood. The involvement of Zipporah was probably due to her having opposed the circumcision in the first place. Thus also her exclamation to Moses, "You are a bridegroom of blood."
God takes the covenant sign seriously. Thus a child, who would otherwise be a member of the covenant people, God considers him to be no part of the covenant people if he does not have the sign of the covenant. So a child of believing parents who is not baptized is considered by God to be none of his. It matters not how much care the parents may lavish on the child, or how much they may teach him the Bible. They have disobeyed God on one point, and their children are cut off.
The advantage to the child is thus two-fold. First, God considers that child a member of the visible church. Thus, according to his promise, he blesses all the parents' efforts on behalf of the child. This is not to say that God may not bless the efforts of parents who are disobedient in the matter of the covenant sign. But such parents have no promise from God that he will bless in their labors.
[Just as an aside, it is curious to me that Presbyterians actually make more out of baptism than Baptists do. Baptists apparently, for example, see no problem with repeated baptisms, as long as the subject of the repeated baptism considers that he wasn't really converted when he was first baptized. Second, Presbyterians talk about improving our baptism (LC Q 167), making everyone's baptism important to us, whereas the Baptist sees baptism as of real importance only for the professing believer being baptized.]

ATLANTA - What better way to soothe the psyches of stranded passengers than by filling them with pizza?
Delta Airlines ordered 450 pizzas to feed customers who were stranded by the violent weather that roared through the south Wednesday, figuring it would ease their frustration... and likely, lessen complaints. Delta tells the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the pies were delivered to airports in Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Ohio, and Kentucky who had the majority of weather-related cancelations.
Yes, please.🍕Delta helped stressed out passengers with a little pizza. https://t.co/DdcLeWiOCm@wsbtv pic.twitter.com/PDSthZxyLT— Linda Stouffer (@LindaWSB) April 6, 2017
"We know it's not fun to be stuck on the ground somewhere," Delta corporate communications manager Michael Thomas told the newspaper.
Delta says in Panama City, Florida, Delta employees ordered 60 pizzas and 20 trays of chicken biscuits to feed well over 300 customers. Those stranded at the Nashville International Airport received 160 pizzas, plus 60 foot-long subs.
Respect to @Delta for buying #pizza for stranded passengers. Say what you want but #customercare is simply about taking care of people.— Brad (@bradcarriger) April 6, 2017
"It's just a small gesture but it's one that our customers do appreciate," Thomas said.

Sargassum Abatement
There is a growing number of non-native species being introduced into the marine environment. Today, we are faced with Sargassum Horneri, an invasive species that has proliferated along the California coastline that is displacing native habitat, and threatening to undermine the kelp forest restoration we have worked so hard to accomplish. In 2003, this algae was introduced to our coastal waters in Long Beach harbor and has since spread as far north as Santa Barbara, south into Baja, and is now found on many of the Channel Islands. Originating in the warm waters of Japan and Korea, Sargassum's distribution and persistence along the West Coast has generated concern as it poses a potential serious threat to our native ecosystems.
Continuing LA Waterkeeper's mission to protect and restore our marine resources through community action and fieldwork, Waterkeeper has launched a new dive program that will contribute to the understanding of how sargassum is impacting our nearshore ecosystems.
In Phase I of this effort, LAW will:
- Utilize our team of experienced scientific divers to document and assess the impacts of the invasive algae Sargassum horneri on rocky reefs along the Los Angeles coastline, prioritizing the region's most ecologically sensitive areas;
- Educate and engage the local community, including recreational divers, boaters, and beachgoers, to increase their awareness and participation in the documentation of horneri; and
- Work with our partners to develop recommendations on how to effectively reduce the impact of horneri along the Los Angeles coast.
Through our Phase I efforts, LAW will be able to: combine existing data and more detailed SCUBA surveys of S. horneri along the Los Angeles coast; evaluate locations for control; empower an informed public who can contribute to monitoring efforts through I-naturalist; and provide the public and decision-makers with information needed to slow the spread of S. horneri. Removal efforts will begin during Phase 2 of the project in fall 2016. LAW will also work with like-minded groups across Southern California and collaborate on strategies that address S. horneri along the entire Southern California Bight. Developing a model for invasive species control and prevention in conjunction with establishing a network of organizations and trained divers from the community will allow us to rapidly respond to future non-native invasions.
If you are interested in volunteering as an AAUS scientific diver for Los Angeles Waterkeeper, fill out a Volunteer Diver Application here.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
By DANIELLE FURFARO
Staff writer
ALBANY- Saturday night's concert at the Palace Theater was the perfect time for a little experiment. We all know that Cheech and Chong are the preeminent jesters of the pot generation, the red-eyed comedians of the counter-culture. The Popes of Dope, as it were.
But are they actually funny when you're not stoned?
My companion and I walked into the Palace Theater under the assumption that we were the only ones who hadn't toked up at home, in the car on the way to the show or, as was obvious from the cloud of sweet smelling smoke that hung over the audience all night, right there in their seats.
Richard "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong opened up with a classic skit from the 1978 film Up In Smoke, in which Cheech mistakes a bra-wearing Chong for a woman and picks him up hitchhiking. They proceed to smoke a giant joint, take acid and get busted by police in the matter of minutes. And yes, even if you were stone sober, even if you'd seen the bit a dozen times before, it was pretty funny. Jokes like "How's my driving, man?" "I think we're parked" are simple yet utterly hilarious.
Chong explained early in the night that pot and age are a terrible combination for memory and that when he and Cheech had decided to get back together, they'd perused YouTube to look over their old bits and figure out which ones to ressurect. They also asked fans which skits they preferred. Most of the night was bits from the films and Cheech and Chong's classic 1972 album, Big Bambu.
The infamous "Let's Make a Dope Deal" was augmented by a photo of Pres. George W. Bush cradling a giant marijuana bud, a skit about Cheech being the first Mexican in space was done with entirely no dialog and a bit about an old man besting a drunken punk in the park by faking his own death had the crowd rolling on the floor.
Each skit had a simple photograph as a backdrop. It was surprisingly low-tech.
In between, there were several standup segments where Cheech, Chong and Chong's wife Shelby cracked jokes at the expense of Mexicans, blacks and gays, stoners and themselves.
After announcing the music portion of the show, Cheech came out as a country singer, performing before neon signs advertising NASCAR and "Urinbrau" beer. Those jokes were pretty lame, but Chong made up for it with his impression of an old, blind blues singer in the delta of Mississippi (and his guitar playing was pretty good too). Finally, Cheech came out in a pink tutu unitard, a tattoo body suit and metallic fringed pasties to lipsync their rock anthem "Earache My Eye."
Some skits can't even be properly reviewed in a family newspaper, such as an unbelievably verbally graphic bit where the pair play an elderly couple in a porn movie theater. The point of another skit where they play dogs appears to be nothing more than an opportunity to defecate on a picture of George W. Bush.
They closed the night with Cheech's 80s hit "Born In East L.A." which they transformed into a salsa that Cheech rapped over while Chong and Shelby delivered a perfectly executed dance routine.
Overall, it was trashy, raunchy, lowest-common denominator humor. Was it funny even without the pot? Definitely.
Cheech and Chong
WHERE: Palace Theater, Clinton Avenue, Albany
WHEN: 7: 30 p.m. Saturday
HIGHLIGHTS:The car ride, "Earache My Eye," Chong as an old blues singer.
THE CROWD: A couple thousand aging stoners pining for their youth and memories

NFL Fans: Why Would a Shortened Season Make You Stop Watching Football?April 8, 2011
How will fans react if there is an NFL lockout? In their next issue, Sports Illustrated will release a poll that, according to the Baltimore Sun, says:
"Nearly half of fans (44 percent) say they would have less future interest in the NFL if the season was delayed or canceled. More than half of fans (53 percent) expect a full NFL season without replacement players in 2011, but if replacement players are used 63 percent will still watch."
Let me say first that I am firmly in the 53 percent that expect a season—without needing to call Keanu Reeves. I've written that I playfully believe we're watching something of a PR game, and that since there will be a season, there are myriad ways we can voice our annoyance with the legal antics that have polluted SportsCenter.
Also, we need to attach three major asterisks to the poll until the article comes out:
1) People sometimes answer surveys the way they think they should, rather than with an honest opinion or representation of their true intentions (Also, see: Elections, Candidates of Different Ethnicities).
2) 314 people were surveyed. Considering the size of the NFL fan base and the diversity of the demographics, if I were going to shout data from the rooftops, I'd hope we're dealing with a sample size in the healthy thousands.
3) We don't know what the news was the day they were polled, nor in what market they live. For instance, within 48 hours of one another, a Kansas City blog and a Tennessee blog, both of SB Nation, had major differences—north of 20 percent—when surveying whether fans blamed owners, players or both for the lockout. That's a lot.
I'd imagine SI will clear up those questions. But for argument's sake, let's take the poll as having truth(iness).
My first thought when hearing that a majority are okay with replacement players, was "Wow, 63 percent of the NFL's fan base has no idea what they're watching. If you're okay with the league hiring a bunch of dudes to throw on jerseys, cram a playbook and put on bad football, just to take up your autumn afternoons…well…I dunno. I guess I wish I was that easily entertained."
To each their own, I guess.
But, in terms of the other half of the poll, after thinking about the implications of the 44 percent that would watch less football, it seems that a significant percentage of fans have an-almost-too-personal investment in the NFL. I mean, whenever the league resolves its dispute and is back on TV for us to enjoy each Sunday, it's not like they'll have also slept with your girlfriend. It's the same game. So why the scorn?
If the objective is voicing your opinion with your wallet and your time, that makes sense, but I have trouble believing almost half the country is thinking that way. My gut—a pollster's nemesis—says the answer lies far more in fans' emotional ties to the game.
I've always found it curious when someone vehemently says they hate a certain player. "Hate" is a strong word; I reserve the term for people like Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and, if we need to graze the sports arena, regurgitated fecal matter like Rae Carruth. To lash out at a guy you haven't met seems unnecessarily intense. Albert Haynesworth epitomizes what is wrong with the modern athlete, but I can't say I wish the guy any harm or think about him and get angry.
So part of me wonders whether these (overly) intense fans saying they'll ditch the NFL if it locks out and that passionate reaction to players' behavior aren't intertwined somehow, psychologically, like a forgotten child lashing out at his divorcing parents.
Can't you hear a neighbor or crotchety uncle shaking their fist and lamenting, "I can't watch those S.O.B.'s anymore. Those greedy bastards don't know how good they've got it. I'd rather rake leaves than watch those entitled meatheads play football."
My question to these people is: What's changed?
Just your perception of their character? When you watched last season, were you quietly wondering whether Dez Bryant and Dan Snyder would accept your Facebook-friend request? If you really plan on watching less football because you're upset that the players and owners could be so selfish, so arrogant, so inconsiderate, so greedy, shouldn't you take a step back and evaluate the manner in which you picture your niche in the NFL ecosystem?
I plan on making my voice heard other ways, but I'm still tuning in each Sunday. Football is football. The beer and hot wings taste the same too.
Maybe these questions are based on an inaccurate survey. But that gut feeling, to a degree, says otherwise.

http://www.rotdoctor.com/L/HouseL/hQA039.htmlhttp://www.durable-wood.com/pdfs/borate-eng1oct02.pdfhttp://www.askthebuilder.com/printer_272-StopTermites-Soak-Wood-with-Safe-Borates.shtmlRC: These are very helpful....thank you, Daddymem. This seems to answer my question if one can 'do-it-yourself':"When diluted 1 lb. borate to 1 gallon warm water and soaked into wood, it is an excellent fungicide and insecticide with relatively low toxicity. "
I assume it has similar qualities. I don't know much more about it than what I read on the Log Home store site. I also picked up some powder that was boric acid - stores have it for silverfish, cockroachs, ants etc.Some of the difference between the borates and the poisonous treatments is that the borate is more water soluble so if it gets washed off it may have to be re-treated.Here is a quote from the Homesteading Today forum:Borax is slightly different than regular boric acid, I don't exactly remember the difference. There are several boric acid compounds. Some are very soluable and others not as much. The timbor product is totally soluable in water. I will do a little research and see if I can find the answer. I believe it has to do with the free boron, which is the ingredient that does the job. The key would be whether it dissolves. You want to saturate the the mix. I will also check on the percentage of boric acid in the ethylene glycol. I believe boraxo soap has lots of other stuff in it and may not be as good. It doesn't take a lot to preserve the wood. If you use the Bora-care product, it can be sprayed on the surface until it is wet, thats all.RC: Glenn, from what I'm reading the product is pretty much just borax in water. The water is apparently the carrier. If it is all this simple, and if it's this cheap....then I would think any builder would want to spray the heck out of all interior lumber before outside siding and inside sheetrock goes on. It could save a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth down the road.
Anyway, I bought a box of 20 Mule Team and called the company and they would'nt tell me anything either.

Mary Wollestoncraft Godwin was born in 1797, into a profoundly literary heritage. Her mother and namesake, who died of related complications shortly after the birth of her daughter, was a prolific writer and outspoken advocate of gender equality, well known since publishing her pro-revolutionary Vindication of the Rights of Men in 1790. William Godwin, her father, was a popular novelist and radical political philosopher who provided her with an unusually extensive education for a girl of the time. During Mary's childhood her father ran an unprofitable publishing firm with his second wife, the family subsisting partly on donations from wealthy admirers of his libertarian writings. Amongst these was an idealistic young aristocrat named Percy Bysshe Shelley who, estranged from his wife Harriet due to a previous affair, swiftly embarked on a fresh one with Godwin's 17-year-old daughter.
Living with her half-sister Jane Clairmont, the couple weathered the scorn of their respective families, and by 1816 Mary's two pregnancies had produced one premature birth, and a healthy son named William. In May of that year, all four travelled to Lake Geneva to summer with celebrated philanderer and poet George Byron, whose affair with Clairmont had left her pregnant. It was during this crucial trip that Mary would conceive the central events of Frankenstein; intended as her submission to a competition of short gothic tales, it would grow into a complete novel over the next two years. During this time both Mary's elder half-sister Fanny Imlay and Harriet Shelley committed suicide only months apart, the former with an overdose of laudanum, and the latter by drowning herself in London's Serpentine. Judged morally unfit to receive custody of the two children born to his first wife, Percy was nevertheless free to make Mary his second – she gave birth to their third child, Clara, the same year. Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus was published anonymously in 1818, to mixed critical reaction and popular acclaim. It has never ceased to be Shelley's best-known work, adapted for the stage more than once in her lifetime, and given a variety of different forms since her death.
The family lived a nomadic existence in various parts of Italy for the next four years, during which time Mary Shelley produced a number of works spanning prose and drama, the fictional and the historical. The period was one of deep loss as well as creative productivity, with two of the Shelleys' three children succumbing to disease. Mary's bereavement culminated in the death of her husband, along with two other men, in a boating accident off the northwest coast in 1822. On returning to England with her only surviving child, Percy Florence, she supported them both along with her ageing father.
Besides editing and championing her husband's poems she published many more works of her own in the following decades, most of which have until recently been entirely eclipsed by her first novel's success. Her final years, spent living and travelling with her son and daughter-in-law, were blighted by symptoms of the malignant brain tumour which would kill her in 1851. She was buried near the couple's new home in Bournemouth, along with the relocated remains of her parents.
Online editions of other works:
Semi-autobiographical romance 'Mathilda', (1820)
Verse dramas 'Prosperpine', and 'Midas' (1820)
Historical novel 'Valperga', (1823)
Semi-autobiographical apocalyptic science-fiction 'The Last Man', (1826)

The Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix began on February 12, 2011. It featured Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, Andrei Arlovski, Sergei Kharitonov, Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, Josh Barnett and Brett Rogers. On May 19, 2012, Daniel Cormier won the Grand Prix. If you bet a dollar before the tournament on someone besides the original 8 entrants winning, you're $5000 richer today.
Strikeforce deserves commendation for completing the tournament. Since the tournament was first announced, all of the favorites lost or were cut from the organization. The organization was purchased by the UFC and the heavyweight roster was cut. Somehow they just kept chugging along, putting together entertaining events and brutal heavyweight bouts.
And now they have a legitimate rising star in the undefeated Cormier (10-0). He will supposedly fight once more in Strikeforce, but against whom? Considering Strikeforce's heavyweight roster going into last night consisted of Daniel Cormier and Josh Barnett, the choices are either slim or infinite. Strikeforce has Zuffa backing them so they have as many or as few options as they want. Cormier could just as easily fight Fedor in a Strikeforce event as move to the UFC tomorrow.

Forty years ago, the appearance of the first novel of George V. Higgins, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, had a remarkable influence on one notable reader, Elmore Leonard.
Leonard, who is now often called the best crime writer alive, received a message from his agent: "This is your kind of stuff, kiddo. Rush out and get it before you write another word."
As Leonard told the story, "I did. The book set me free. I saw, this was how you do it. I learned so much about dialogue and cadence from this book." To this day he sometimes rereads a bit of Eddie Coyle before beginning to write.
Coyle's story emerges through Higgins's oblique, totally convincing dialogue. What he says slowly reveals to us that he's a low-level crook who deals in illegal guns, that he's awaiting trial for a crime and that he plans to save himself from jail by betraying another crook. Sometimes the talk goes on for several pages, with not a word of exposition. The dialogue tells us what we need to know about the characters: the lives they live and what they think of themselves and each other.
When they are nervous, when they repeat themselves, when they try too hard, Higgins gently signals to us. Speaking to Coyle, a fellow gun dealer says: "I can get your pieces probably by tomorrow night. I can get you, probably, six pieces. Tomorrow night. In a week or so, maybe ten days, another dozen. I got a guy coming in with at least ten of them but I already talk to another guy about four of them and he's, you know, expecting them. He's got something to do. So, six tomorrow night. Another dozen in a week."
Higgins, who died in 1999, is not read today as widely as he deserves. He may be due for a revival. Random House has reissued several of his books and on Friday a new Higgins film adaptation opens — Killing Them Softly, with Brad Pitt, based on a 1974 Higgins novel, Cogan's Trade.
When I'm reading a Higgins novel the word "tribal" sometimes flits across my brain. He was born in Boston, took a law degree at Boston College and became an assistant district attorney and later a criminal lawyer. His characters, whether judges or cops or criminals, are mostly members of the Boston Irish Catholic tribe, people named Gleason or Mahoney, Nolan or Flynn, Connors or Keane. They talk of the Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots and Celtics.
When Higgins died, a week before his 60th birthday, he left behind a shelf of 27 novels, every one of them tribal in this sense. His 15th, published in 1987, Outlaws, was mentioned last week in a New York Times piece by David Mamet, the playwright. He considers Higgins a great novelist and has read Outlaws several times. His new play, The Anarchist, which opens on Broadway next week, addresses the same event in American history: the series of violent crimes committed by the Weather Underground.
As Higgins sets them down, those crimes appear as the corruption of political thinking under the pressure of youthful ignorance. The students, often brilliant in university, rob and kill and hide for so long that they are fundamentally changed, and much for the worse. The anti-war rage that once made them idealists turns rancid and they learn how to hate, punish and betray each other. Before it all ends they have gone some distance toward ruining their families as well as themselves and their victims.
At the beginning, in 1970, the police and the district attorneys have no idea who they are. The robbers of armoured trucks are much better prepared than most criminals, and much more careful. A Boston policeman realizes after a while that he's dealing with "longhairs that got bored with protesting the war and branched out." But which longhairs?
Within the law-enforcement establishment of Boston they present many opportunities for the kind of intense bureaucratic warfare that Higgins loved to chronicle. If the criminals can't be caught, which agency will take the blame?
Eventually the police pick up a few leads but years pass before arrests are made and indictments handed down. By then the students have committed a particularly appalling crime.
Higgins always hated being classified as a crime writer. He thought he deserved to be called simply a novelist.
Higgins devotes about 80 pages to the trial at the core of the book because he wants to explain, in close detail, how injustice happens. The leader of the gang, a deep-dyed monster, fools psychiatrists and the jury and gets judged not guilty by reason of insanity. But that's only halfway through the novel. He vanishes, apparently with a lot of money, and with both cops and crooks in pursuit.
More than any other Higgins book, Outlaws proceeds by implication. We hear of a murder at one point, read the glum talk about cops who can't begin to solve it, and learn many pages later why it happened and why the killer may or may not be caught. The novel's last section is one of the few places where Higgins demands patience from his readers. After keeping us on edge for a long while, he takes us on what seems like a long digression. It turns out not to be a digression but instead a careful tying up of all the themes and a conclusion that will make readers question their own principles of justice.
Higgins always hated being classified as a crime writer. He acknowledged that he often wrote about crimes but he believed, rightly, that his books went far beyond the usual genre boundaries. He thought he deserved to be called simply a novelist.
But he never was. His books were always reviewed along with other crime novels and they are still shelved among the murder mysteries and police procedurals — even though he often says as much as any writer about such subjects as marriage, politics, child-rearing, sex, friendship, professionalism, growing old, being young and all the other themes of fiction.
While he enjoyed amusing us, he wanted to have his books read with the same seriousness that he brought to the writing of them. That may be a lot to ask. The best that most of us can do is enjoy ourselves as we read and meanwhile remain alert to all the implied riches placed before us.
Killing Them Softly opens in theatres Nov. 30.

Author has written 3 stories for General, and Essay.
About Me:
I am a member of the United Church of Christ, and very proud of it.
I took a writing class while in college. My teacher from that class handed out pages of quotes about writing...and other things like painting, dancing, etc. I decided to post these quotes here so I could share them with everyone.
Most of the pages had quotes from several different people:
Contrary to what many people think, a career in writing is not without its drawbacks--chief among them the unpleasant fact that one is frequently called upon to sit down and write.
I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon, I put it back in again.
A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
Writer's block is what you get if you're too full of yourself and trying to be Garcia Marquez...It's like imagining you're a tree and trying to sprout leaves. Once you come to your senses and accept who you are, there's no problem. I'm not Garcia Marquez. I'm a late-middle-aged midlist fair-to-middling writer with a comfortable midriff, and it gives me quite a bit of pleasure.
Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration.
Successful writers are not the ones who write the best sentences. They are the ones who keep writing.
What am I in the eyes of most people? A good-for-nothing, an eccentric and disagreeable man, somebody who has no position in society and never will have. Very well, even if that were true. I should want to show by my work what there is in the heart of such an eccentric man, of such a nobody.
What you have to do now is work. There's no right way to start.
You don't have to be somebody else to write well.
How can you go out on a limb if you don't know your own tree? No art ever came out of not risking your own neck.
Poetry is not a way of depicting the world, but a way of conversing with it, trying to know it.
Talent is long patience, and originality is an effort of will and of intense observation.
If you don't sit there every day, the day it would come well, you won't be sitting there.
The hard work you do on one poem is put in on all poems.
Writing comes out of a superior devotion to reading.
We are not judged by what we are basically. We are judged by how hard we use what we have been given.
Writing...is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
Tell all the Truth, but tell it slant.
Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.
The key to the treasure is the treasure.
You have to be available to both the cheapest and the deepest things that play on you.
I never have anything balanced in my mind when I set out; if I did I'd resign this profession from boredom and operate a hatchery.
Stop looking at your feet and dance.
Aim, but not too hard
Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around a lake.
The intellect wants to know; the soul likes to be surprised.
If you've never been corny, then you aren't even in the ball game.
Fall seven times, get up eight.
Ring the bells that still ring. Forget your perfect offering. There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.
The imagination is like a car battery: when you leave it inactive is when it runs down.
Despair is the desire to be other than oneself.
Anyone can be a fisherman in May.
The best way to know life is to love many things.
There is another world, and it is in this world.
I may not be good lookin', but I'm some woman's angel child.
It's easu being a writer. What's hard is staying a writer.
There were also pages of sayings all by the same person.
Sayings from Picasso:
Art is a lie that allows us to uncover the truth.
Everything that can be imagined is real.
I always try to do what I don't know how to do; that's how I learn to do it.
If you know exactly what you're going to do, what good is doing it?
When I don't have any blue, I use red.
Good taste is the enemy of creativity.
It takes a long time to become young.
I've spent my whole life learning to draw like a child.
A painting lives only through the person who looks at it.
Any act of creation is first an act of destruction.
Trying to avoid accidents--it's impossible. Accidents reveal the human being.
Some of my favorite (not writing related) quotes:
Change the words, don't change the meaning;
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
Never Place a period where God has placed a comma

Inspirational young mums from the Express area got to celebrate their achievements at a special ceremony this week.
Abbie Taylor from Castleford and Shannon Oliver from Pontefract, were among 45 teenage parents from the Barnardo's Young Families Service and the Barnardo's Youth Contract initiative, who were presented with certificates of achievement by headteacher, Johnny Mitchell, of Educating Yorkshire fame.
Miss Taylor, 19, was referred to Barnardo's Young Families when she was pregnant at 16. Now mum of two-year-old Leon, she holds down a job as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities.
She said: "Barnardo's helped me to build my confidence and encouraged me to get a job. They helped me with my CV and job applications. Now I have money to provide for me and my son and that feels good. I'm sure life would be really different if it wasn't for the charity."
Miss Oliver, who lived in 21 different places as a child has found true happiness as "a real mum in my own home" thanks to the support she has received from the local church, Barnardo's and a midwifery scheme for young mums.
The 20-year-old mum-of-two left school with few prospects and qualifications, but is now settled in her own place, attending college and dreaming of a career working with animals.
She said: "Without Barnardo's, I wouldn't be where I am today. They helped me find me a place of my own, do a work placement and build-up my confidence."
She added: "I don't have family around me and was worried about being a mum, but the Young Women's Midwifery Team gave me plenty of support. They are fantastic."
The awards ceremony was held at St Catherine's Church Centre, Doncaster Road, Wakefield.
Barnardo's Young Families service manager, Kate Goodwin said: "Our event was an important day for celebrating the achievements of the young people and also for looking forward to the successes of the years ahead."

Posing for Playboy seems to have piqued directors' interest in Lindsay Lohan, as the platinum blonde actress was spotted arriving in New York carrying an "untitled" script.
Lindsay's successful Playboy issue sold 49 ad pages, just shy of the 56.9 Kim Kardashian pushed in her issue.
She was reportedly paid $1 million for the spread, and it seems that the magazine got their money back and then some from the issue that was "flying off the shelves."
A Playboy head honcho also spoke on the rapid sale issue, saying "The Lindsay Lohan January-February Double Issue is breaking sales records."
Will you be happy to see Lindsay Lohan in a new movie?

I'm using the Contempt theme. I added a page and it added a link in the top nav bar under the header. Realizing that wasn't where I wanted a link, I deleted the page. Deleting the page didn't delete the nav bar link. Is there a way I can remove it?
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Cannot remove link in nav bar
I see that the page is not there. I would imagine since the blog is replicated across all the servers, it must be a caching problem and will disappear pretty soon. If it is still there on Monday, send in a feedback through your admin area. I would recommend sooner, but support is closed until then. By the way, for support in the forum it is best to link to your wordpress.com blog in your profile. Linking to a commercial blog just confuses anyone trying to help you.
Ah, sorry about that link. Good point. It's changed now.
Thank you for your advise.

That is the common definition of "Russian". Not in Russia or Sweden or Europe it's not. The ONLY reason it is in the US is that the jews LIED to you and tried to make you think that there is no "Caucasian Race". Everyone agrees that the Russians are descendants of the Rus. The only question is where did the Rus come from. The Russians claim that the Rus migrated to Sweden from Russia and became the Swedes, but the Swedes claim that they came from Sweden and became the Russians. In any event, they're identical in appearance, customs, ethnicity, religion, and many other traits (though there are some significant differences in ideology). > > >> But let me expand my double-dog dare to include walking up to any > >> member of the Russian mafia and telling them that they're Jews. > > > >I've walked right up to them and THEY told me that. > > They did?

Having problems with your Canon Digital Cameras ?
Battery door won't close anymore on Canon A630. Is it replaceable?
Answers :
It is probably replaceable. I had the same problem on one of my cameras and took it into a camera shop. The guy there took some strong tape and taped it closed. He said" It would cost more to replace that little door than the price of a new camera." You could take your camera into a shop and ask them about replacement though. Yours might not be as expensive as mine would have been. You could check your manual also for replacement parts available. it might be something you could install yourself. It is worth a try and if you don't have the manual go to www.canon.com and look for manual downloads. Good luck to you.

The Indiana University School of Dentistry (IUSD) is a member of the American Dental Education Association and is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.
IU's dental school is one of the oldest in the nation. It was established as the Indiana Dental College in 1879 and acquired by Indiana University in 1925. It is the only dental school in the state.
The school is located on the campus of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), adjacent to the University Medical Center. Clinical facilities in the School of Dentistry are excellent, and patients are drawn from a population area of some 1 million people. The great variety of cases treated provides each student with abundant opportunity to perfect techniques.
The school also maintains dental clinics in Riley and University Hospitals, the Regenstrief Health Center (all at the Medical Center on the IUPUI campus), and at two off-campus sites.
Men and women who have graduated with IU's Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree and Master of Science in Dentistry (M.S.D.) degree currently are practicing dentistry and pursuing careers in related fields in nearly all of the 50 states and in many countries. Students may also earn the Ph.D. or the M.S. degree in dentistry and related science fields through IU's University Graduate School.
Indiana University offers undergraduate programs in dental support fields at several IU campuses. A one-year program for dental assistants and a two-year associate degree program for dental hygienists* are offered at the Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Gary, and South Bend campuses. A four-year bachelor's degree program for dental hygienists is offered at Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. A two-year associate degree program in dental laboratory technology is offered at Fort Wayne only. Students interested in undergraduate programs should check with a counselor on the campus they will attend for specific requirements, which may vary. In addition, under the D.D.S. program at the School of Dentistry, it is possible to earn a B.A. degree in cooperation with the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences. Other universities in Indiana also offer a combined degree program. In all instances, the bachelor's degree is awarded by the undergraduate school attended, not by the IU School of Dentistry. Students who are interested in this type of program should consult their predental advisor.
This bulletin describes the opportunities available at IUSD and outlines the requirements for admission to and completion of its programs.
*Only five dental hygiene programs are available in Indiana—IU's four programs and one offered by the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville.

The WSJ reports that NY AG Andrew Cuomo has opened an investigation into short selling of the stocks of several troubled companies.
More interesting is that Goldman Sachs is on the list of troubled companies being shorted.
Several hedge funds are also being investigated for "rumor mongering."
Cuomo thinks the SEC should freeze short selling on a temporary basis which seems eminently reasonable. I think Congress should make short selling illegal. It's a highly predatory practice that seems to me to have no positive effect on markets -- while having many negative effects including the issues that are the subject of Cuomo's investigation.
Am I missing something?

In a classic case of the tail wagging the dog, upgrades to the nation's electrical grid may be finally catching up to the technologies it has served. Widely available electricity has been the foundation for countless innovations in telecommunications in the modern age. However, the system for delivering that power is antiquated.
According to one study, much needed changes are on the horizon. Pike Research, a Boulder, Colo.-based market research and consulting firm, sees great innovations coming in the form of smart grid infrastructure upgrades. For investors, it is a huge market opportunity.
In its "Smart Grid Technologies" report the firm projects that smart grid innovations will attract $200 billion in worldwide investment between 2008 and 2015.
The potential lies in more than just smart meters, the artificially intelligent devices that have quickly become synonymous with the smart grid, although, they will no doubt play a role. Innovation will also be seen on a much larger scale in the form of transmission upgrades, substation automation, and distribution automation. In fact, Pike forecasts that these grid automation initiatives will capture 84 percent of global smart grid investment through 2015, compared to just 14 percent for advanced metering infrastructure and 2 percent for electric vehicle management systems.
According to Pike's managing director, Clint Wheelock, utilities know where to place their bets. He explained that the firm's analysis shows utilities will find "the best return on investment and, therefore, will devote the majority of their capital budgets to grid infrastructure projects."
Pike identifies several factors motivating the projected build-out. The need for improved reliability and security, improved operating efficiencies and costs, balancing power generation with growing demand, and reducing impact on climate change are driving the movement toward a more intelligent grid.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Montreal Canadiens wanted more hunger and hustle in Game 2 against Carolina. Mission accomplished -- with a lot of help from Jose Theodore.
Montreal captain Saku Koivu had a goal and an assist and Theodore stopped 45 shots as the Canadiens held off the Hurricanes 4-1 Sunday night to even the best-of-seven, second-round series 1-1.
The win by Montreal snapped Carolina's four-game home playoff winning streak and was in sharp contrast to its 2-0 opening loss. In Game 1, the Hurricanes were more scrappy and outhit the Canadiens.
Montreal was still outshot 46-16 Sunday, but the Canadiens were able to solve goalie Kevin Weekes for two first-period goals -- one on a great hustle play by Koivu -- to get a jump on Carolina and quiet its rowdy crowd.
The Canadiens then rode Theodore the rest of the way.
Bill Lindsay sealed it with an empty-net goal with 1:11 left, firing the puck nearly the length of the ice.
Weekes had two straight shutouts and a goals against average of 0.90 in the playoffs entering the game, but couldn't come up big for a fourth straight game since taking over for Arturs Irbe in the New Jersey series.
Game 3 will be played at the Molson Centre on Tuesday night.
Doug Gilmour's 60th career playoff goal on the power play 1:03 into the second gave the Canadiens a three-goal lead before Rod Brind'Amour's goal with 6.8 seconds left in the period drew the Hurricanes within 3-1 on a two-man advantage.
Erik Cole poked the puck past Theodore 1:33 into the third, but it clearly came after the whistle and was waved off by referee Mick McGeough. Carolina had several good scoring chances minutes later, but Kevyn Adams missed an open net short-handed and Theodore shut down Carolina's power play.
Carolina played without Jeff O'Neill, the team's top goal scorer the last two seasons. O'Neill was suspended for one game following his hit from behind in the series opener on Montreal's Sheldon Souray. Souray sustained a left shoulder injury but returned to his regular spot on defense in Game 2.
Weekes had a franchise-record scoreless streak that spanned 143 minutes and 55 seconds before allowing a bad goal 7:25 into the first to give Montreal some confidence.
Weekes got in front of what appeared to be a harmless shot from Sergei Berezin from the top of the circle. But just like early in Game 1, Weekes had problems with his rebounds. The puck dropped at his pads, and the Carolina defense relaxed.
It was all the window that Koivu needed as he dug the puck out and flipped it past Weekes.
Koivu set up Montreal's second goal when he drew four Carolina players toward him as he skated down the right wing, then fired a cross-ice pass to a streaking Andrei Markov, who had joined the rush from his defensive position.
Markov made one move to get Weekes out of position and then backhanded the puck into an open side as he fell to the ice for his first career postseason goal.

Wine Bottle Birthday Cake
I made this cake for one of my husband's coworkers. It was her birthday and she loves wine. This cake was perfect for her.
This was an easy cake to make.
The wine box is a red velvet cake with buttercream icing. I sugar glued brown fondant panels to the side of the cake. Shaved white chocolate was placed around the bottle to give it a straw appearance. The wine bottle is made of gum paste and the label is made of fondant. I let the gum paste bottle and fondant panels dry out overnight. This made it easier to decorate.
I learned how to make this cake from My Cake School. Melissa is the amazing cake decorator that runs the site and tutorials. It is $30 a year to become a member and you get access to all of her video tutorials, forums and recipes. The membership is absolutely worth the money spent. I have learned so much from Melissa and her website.
Do you drink wine? If so, what is your favorite type of wine? What is your least favorite?
---I love wine. Lately, I have been drinking mostly chardonnay and malbec wines. Shiraz is my least favorite; it is too spicy for my taste.

During a series of questions on his personal Twitter page, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya said that he and Jose Luis Castillo are the boxers who came the closest to beating Floyd Mayweather Jr. De La Hoya claims to "have the formula" to beat Mayweather and he plans to provide that formula to Ortiz. De La Hoya said that he doesn't have a grudge against Mayweather, but he wants to back the underdog.
Ortiz defends the WBC welterweight championship against Mayweather Jr. on Sept. 17 in Las Vegas. De La Hoya's company promotes Ortiz.
De La Hoya lost a close split decision to Mayweather Jr. in May of 2007. A year and half later De La Hoya was dominated and stoped by Pacquiao. He told his followers that he would have liked to face both men when he was in the prime of his career.


text: It has been five years since the last Tortoise release, not counting a rarities box set and a collaboration with Bonnie "Prince" Billy. This is not so much an updating of their percussive sound, which seems firmly rooted in 90s post-rock, as the continuation of a journey through a broad, borderless expanse of musical styles. It's an enthralling journey. Some momentum is lost towards the end, but embark upon this for the epic tempo-shifting opener, the thumping electro rampage of "Northern Something", and a wonderfully ominous moment midway through that channels Ennio Morricone in widescreen.

Steven Pressley Calls Time On His Playing Career As He Announces RetirementJune 4, 2009
Former Hearts & Celtic defender Steven Pressley has announced his retirement from the playing side of the game and now hopes to pursue a career in management.
The 35-year-old featured in the first season of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League in 1998-99, when he joined Hearts from Dundee United that summer. He also played for Celtic and, most recently, Falkirk in the SPL, having previously turned out for Rangers and Coventry.
Pressley, capped 32 times by Scotland and now part of the coaching team alongside George Burley and Terry Butcher, said, "To be honest, it was a relatively easy decision for myself and that's why I knew it was the correct time.
"My involvement with the national team and my involvement in the UEFA Pro Licence has certainly whetted my appetite. I'm far more motivated by that than the playing of the game.
"I just thought it was the right time in my career to close that book and start another chapter. I believe that I'm ready for management but I'm not ruling anything out."

[Ambiya 21:36] And when the disbelievers see you, they do not appoint you except as an object of mockery; "Is he the one who speaks ill of your Gods?"; whereas they deny the remembrance of the Most Gracious Himself!

[Ambiya 21:38] And they say, "When will this promise occur, if you are truthful?

[Ambiya 21:40] In fact it will suddenly come upon them, therefore shocking them, and they will not be able to repel it nor will they be given respite.

Journal of Biblical Literature
Volume 132, Number 3, 2013
pp. 527-541 | 10.1353/jbl.2013.0042
The book of Job attracts scholarly attention in abundance, but it does not enjoy a consensus even on the most basic issues of purpose and meaning. However, many commentators note the importance of the divine speeches in Job 38:1–42:6. Some see them as the hermeneutical key to understanding the book, while others view the Yhwh speeches as irrelevant or incongruous. Among those who consider the divine speeches to be exegetically significant, opinions on the purpose and contribution of the Yhwh speeches vary widely. The present work does not presume to settle the exciting and vigorous debate. Rather, it offers an examination of subtle textual clues that hint at the tone of the Yhwh speeches. Assuming that tone must be established early in a literary unit, an analysis of ch. 38—especially its beginning—forms the core of the article. This study suggests that the tone of the divine speech in ch. 38 is one of genuine compassion and comfort; God speaks with Job as a powerful being who intimately comforts Job in his suffering.
