As acronym, means 'Forsaking All, I Trust Him'
Some folks will live a life of faith because they simply cannot understand the simplicity of the matter. The object of our faith, Christ Jesus, is very complex and the cost He paid cannot be measured, but trusting that is simple and available to all who will choose to believe. In fact, it is so simple that many will miss it, and even people who call themselves Christian do not walk by faith day by day.
God's greatness exceeds human comprehension.
Trusting Him by faith is often the most logical step in our lives, but because it seems too simple, men, women, boys and girls cannot (or most often will not) believe it. They continue to struggle, to attempt to work out complex theories, plans and avenues. Because God wants us to trust Him by faith, live our lives by faith, and meet Him in faith, He chose to meet us not mind to mind but heart to heart.
I was dealing with a dear lady in a counseling environment following a church service. She was in tears. Her life was in shambles. Her children were estranged and she was separated from her current husband. She had lost her job and she was so fearful that with the downturn in the economy that she was never going to be successful again. She honestly wanted to trust Christ, to put her faith in Him and in His Word, but she needed something tangible. She just couldn't get the "trusting Him by faith" part of what I was saying to her. I thought quickly, "What else can I do, Lord? I've shown her from your own word what she needs to do, her heart is broken, she has a contrite spirit, and I believe she is genuinely seeking an alternative to her painful life." And then like a bolt of sudden summer lightening, it dawned on me.
"Will you move over to the next chair?" I asked her quietly. She did not think twice. She said, "Surely." And with that simple request, she stood up from the perfectly good chair she was sitting in and moved to the one I had pointed out to her without asking one question. She did not hesitate and she did not balk or argue. "You have just demonstrated the faith you cannot seem to exercise when it comes to trusting Christ. You had no idea why I wanted you to exchange chairs. You did not know the manufacturer of this chair. You did not know if it were broken, strong enough to hold your weight, or wet with fresh paint. And yet, you simply moved and rested your being in the second chair. You exercised faith in my request.
"Surely you can see that trusting Christ, who is the Son of God, is just as simple as that request. Will you be willing to trust Him to cleanse your sins, take you to Heaven when you leave this world, and to spend eternity with Him there?" My new friend sat very still for a few moments and then she said three of the happiest words I've ever heard. "I get it," she said. "I get it." And, she was willing to bow her head, pray and ask Christ into her heart and to cleanse her from sin. (Let me add quickly here — it doesn't have to be the same for every believer. Some will never pray out loud. Some will never come forward in a church service. Some will not tell a soul what they have done, but every person needs to make that leap of faith and trust Christ for their eternal salvation. It does help to strengthen your resolve to tell someone else, to find a church home where you can learn and grow and have fellowship with other believers).
I read in "Where Only Love Can Go" that "our intense need to understand will always be a powerful stumbling block to our attempts to reach God in simple love, and must always be overcome. We reach Him through faith. We live happier lives by faith.
One teacher wrote her definition of faith — Forsaking All, I Trust Him — an acronym that is easily remembered.
I would add for non-believers who have no plan of accepting Christ on this earth. What if we believers are correct and you are incorrect? Eternity is a big gamble to take on this simple truth.

Parental Alienation Leads Court to Call Father a "Wallet"
Lawdiva's Blog – Canadian Lawyer Georgialee Lang – Her recent story on Parental Alienation
There are many divorced fathers in Canada who believe they are nothing more than a "wallet" in their children's eyes. It is rare however, for a judge to confirm that status in Reasons for Judgment, but that is exactly what Mr. Justice Gray did in his recent decision in Veneman v. Veneman 2012 ONSC 6324.
Mr. and Mrs. Veneman separated in 2004 after 11 years of marriage. Mr. Veneman left the family home but maintained the financial status quo and enjoyed a good relationship with the children, ages 8 and 11.
The apparent bliss of separation disappeared, however, when Mr. Veneman commenced a personal relationship with a woman he met on the internet. His ex-wife's reaction was venomous as revealed in vulgar emails from her to Mr. Veneman where she called his girlfriend an "internet whore".
At about the same time, Mr. Veneman decided that after two years of separation, the parties should reorganize their financial affairs. He closed the joint account that his wife and he shared since the date of separation and began paying voluntary child and spousal support.
Ms. Veneman's campaign of abuse against Mr. Veneman was quickly adopted by his two girls who also began writing mean-spirited and disrespectful emails to their father. The children were particularly angered by their father when he brought his girlfriend to a birthday party for one of the girls hosted by the girl's paternal grandparent. This was the first occasion they had met her, although Mr. Veneman told his children about her and their relationship.
As time went on, the girls also sent emails scolding their father for failing to provide sufficient funds to their mother. The Court found that Ms. Veneman liberally shared her views about his girlfriend and his financial contribution, all actions which eventually led to the termination of any father/daughter relationship.
Eldest daughter Maggie described her father in an email to him as "selfish, greedy, lying, back-stabbing, neglecting, blackmailing, bribing, idiotic, mean and just overall a stupid person". This kind of poison most often originates from a parent who cannot see that their attitude is severely harming their children.
Despite the difficulties, Mr. Veneman continued to make every effort to reconnect and appease his children but all overtures were rebuffed by them.
With his older daughter approaching the age of nineteen and attending Queen's University, Mr. Veneman brought an application to court asking for an order that his obligation to pay child support cease upon her birthday.
Several years earlier, he had agreed to an order that he pay 75% of his children's post-secondary education costs, but he now argued that her termination of any relationship with him was cause for the court to reconsider his child support obligations.
Mr. Veneman relied on several cases where courts noted that an adult child's unilateral and unreasoned abandonment of a parental relationship could lead to a termination of support. Other cases, however, were cited where the proposition was accepted that "estrangement, even at the sole instance of the child, should not be relevant".
Judge Gray, however, did not need to grapple with which authority was correct as he was able to decide the case by finding that the father had not shown a material change in circumstances, which was the required test to vary a child support order. The judge held that when Mr. Veneman agreed to pay post-secondary expenses in 2009, he had no relationship with Maggie, and had no relationship now.
He declared that Mr. Veneman "was nothing more than a wallet" and said the blame for the alienation must be assumed by both parents.
It is here where I part company with the judge's findings. It is startling to suggest that the clumsy, perhaps even insensitive, introduction of a new partner to one's children who are 10 and 13, after two years of separation from their mother, constitutes conduct that is blameworthy.
In my view, Ms. Veneman's immature behavior is the reason her children have ousted their father from their lives. I hope when the girls figure it out, which they will, they will clearly understand their mother's role in a tragic family situation the judge called "irrational and avoidable".
Interesting that if you are part of an intact family you can decide how much you want to contribute, if any, to your child's education, but if you are separated or divorced the State decides.
Equally interesting is the absence of any reference to "parental alienation". I guess if you don't say it, it doesn't exist.

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The Brandeis volleyball team wrapped up its 2011 season with a 3-0 loss to Carnegie Mellon in the seventh-place match at the 2011 University Athletic Association championships. Set scores were close (25-21, 25-23, 25-20), but the Judges couldn't quite put the Tartans away. Brandeis closes its season at 9-21.
For the third match in a row, rookie outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) and sophomore OH Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy) led the squad in kills, with both registering 10. Hood wraps up the season leading the team with 3.20 kills per set, seventh-most in the UAA and a shade behind NYU's Sarah Buckingham for most among rookies. Hensley's 2.24 kills per set ranks 18th in the UAA.
Defensively, the Judges also had two players reach double figures in digs. Rookie libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./Southington) topped the team with 14. Her 4.25 digs per set is sixth in the UAA and most among first-year players. Junior Susan Sun (Acton, Mass./Acton-Boxborough) had 12 digs, her fifth match of the season in double digits. Junior middle blocker Becca Fischer (San Antonio, Texas/Clark) had another fine performance at the net with four blocks (one solo). She ranks ninth in the UAA with 0.78 blocks per set.

German electronics export to<br>Russia exceeds €5 billion
Whilst the consumer products experience a levelling within the German export, export of investment goods increases significantly.
The exports of the German electronics industry into Russia have reached – with €5.1 billion – a new high in 2007. Best sellers are, despite recessionary tendencies, the communication and information technology segments with €957 million and €763 million respectively. This is followed by electronic household appliances (€498 million), medical electronics (€389 million), switchgears, control gears and industrial controls (€366 million) as well as measurement technology and process automation (€289 million). The growth dynamics lead to a 50% (+49.6%) sales increase in the big market segments, such as switchgears, control gears, industrial controls, medical electronics (+26,8%) and measurement technology and process automation (+19,2%). Given the stagnating and partly declining development of consumer goods, we can suggest a long overdue revival of the industrial base in Russia. The picture shows production at BB Electronics.

Oglethorpe Obnoticus is a level 50 artisan gnomish engineering trainer located in Booty Bay in the contested territory of Stranglethorn Vale. He teaches engineers Gnome Engineering.
Oglethorpe makes a point of telling players who speak to him that if they represent Gnomeregan, he has nothing to say to them and that they should leave. The reason for this hostility is revealed to Horde players who visit him to learn Gnome Engineering. According to Oglethorpe, he was ostracized by the rulers of Gnomeregan because they considered him an "intellectual threat." Indignant, he left Gnomeregan for good, which likely led to his residence in Booty Bay. Oglethorpe tells the player that because of the way the ruling faction of Gnomeregan treated him, it lost one of the greatest gnome engineers alive.
Oglethorpe particularly resents Tinkmaster Overspark.

Slowing down gives us more time to look. Having more time to look changes how we see. I wanted to slow down.
Using alpine touring skis, a small backpack, a folding medium format camera and twelve rolls of black-and-white film with ten exposures per roll, I set out to traverse and photograph a high route across the Alps. Each piece of equipment for this trip was chosen for its simplicity as well as its limitations — and for the extra time, attention, and patience it requires.
Traveling up and over mountains by skis has a way of shifting time away from something that is measured in minutes, hours, and days. Ascending one step at a time through untracked snow, the units become ski lengths, pole plants, breaths, sips of water, bites of food, daydreams, changes in weather or light.
The physical limitations of low-speed film in a mechanical camera call for a heightened attention to composition, exposure, and technique. Every frame becomes its own unique experience — one that builds gradually with each precise movement of the camera, each small adjustment for focus, aperture,
or shutter speed.
Once I've settled on an image, I take a deep breath and try to be as still as possible. High in the Swiss Alps, in the space between the breath and the click of the shutter, time slows to a stop.
These 14 images were made over the course of 8 days, and selected from a total of 120 images, where just one exposure was allowed for each image. They have been minimally altered from their original form in order to stay true to the tonality of the film, and are the pure, unfiltered, timeless compositions that I'd been
looking for.
These images are available as limited edition prints.

"We got the win today against Taylor" Bruni said "and this is only the second time perhaps that we have met on the race course. He is young and I am somewhat like an older diesel engine and he is like a fast sports car so that is something we are up against."
Hamilton BERMUDA, Oct 13, 2013 – It was a battle of America's Cup tacticians Sunday in Bermuda. In one of the most exciting finals in Argo Group Gold Cup history, Francesco Bruni (ITA) Luna Rossa put a stop to the comeback kid, Sir Ben Ainslie (GBR) BART/Argo Group. Bruni won the first two races and then Ainslie took two and looked like he was going to add a Gold Cup comeback to his America's Cup record.
Bruini would have nothing of that and sailed flawlessly in the final race to win the King Edward VII Gold Cup and US$50,000 of the $100,000 prize purse.
Bruni had great pace at the start of the final race. He was on starboard, to weather of Ainslie and on the line right on time. In the Northeasterly breeze, he took Ainslie all the way up to the wall at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel gaining separation on the way.
When they tacked for the obstruction, Bruni was clearly ahead and then gained on the long port tack to the weather mark. Ainslie couldn't pull another catch up out of his trick bag
Bruni and his crew Pierluigi de Felice, Xabi Fernandez and Nick Hutton were jubilant. This was the first time an Italian has ever won the King Edward VII Gold Cup. It was a historic victory for Bruni who comes from Palermo, Sicily who had lost only one race in reaching the finals. Ainslie had lost only two, so the cream had really risen to the top.
Both Bruni and Ainslie had come through the Semi Finals Sunday morning with perfect 3-0 records there. Ainslie defeated Adam Minoprio (NZL) Team Alpari FX. Bruni handled defending champion Taylor Canfield (ISV) USone. Canfield went on to beat Minoprio in the Petite finals and take 3rd place and putting Minoprio into 4th.

Quotes of the Day:
Francesco Bruni: "I am very happy about our win and I didn't really think we would be here at the start of it all. We went very well throughout the regatta – we did not come up through a repechage or other ways we just sailed well almost the entire race. Hamilton harbor is a very tricky racecourse and everyone makes mistakes including us. We sailed very well all week.
"To win every start against Sir Ben Ainslie in the finals is pretty big. We were quite sure we could separate it and the plan in our mind worked beautifully. Every cross, we were ahead. After we were 2-2 we are very happy we didn't let it slip away from our hands. We sailed Sir Ben to the wall and he asked for room to take. It was a huge setback for Ben because when he tacked around we just had him and powered ahead.
"It has been a really great return to the world tour. And, I need to thank Luna Rossa for bringing us here. It has been a great reward for all of us after a lot of hard work.
Sir Ben Ainslie: "It was a great final. Ultimately we were beaten by a better team. They started their races better and they became the team that we could not beat today. We are here to honor the memory of our friend Andrew "Bart" Simpson and we have gotten a lot of support from everyone here for our foundation. We sailed well today and we are glad we got the band back together in honor of Bart who was such an ambassador to the sport."
Iain Percy: "This has been a very memorable regatta and we have been through something very hard and it has been a tough six months. Being in Bermuda has helped us with this and we are grateful to all of the goodwill of everyone here."
Adam Minoprio: "It is great to be sitting here in the final four. It was a disappointing end to the regatta for us but we have sailed hard throughout this event. This is our sixth time at the Gold Cup so we are just very honored to be here."
Taylor Canfield: "I can't deny that it was tough for us not making the finals as we were sailing well enough. We are happy to get 3rd and we learned we are still leading the tour. We were disappointed by the call in the final race against Francesco Bruni by the umpire but we also made small errors that hurt us. Whether you make it through or not it is still an amazing event. I feel privileged to be around an incredible group of sailors. This harbor does get the best of you sometime and it truly did. We are on to the Monsoon Cup next and we actually leading the tour so we are really looking forward to that."
Semi Final Quotes
Francesco Bruni: "I know Ben very well so going up against him in the finals is not that overwhelming and the best way to approach it is to say that it is just a match race as the more I think about it does not help me. I know I should relax and do what I know."
Ben Ainslie: "When I got here this week I didn't expect to be in the finals. It is very special and although it is tough to be in the finals against Francesco for us Bermuda is a very special place and a Bermuda final is even more spectacular. We love it here and we are very happy to be out there racing in the finals."
Adam Minoprio: "It was a very tough loss for us and the semi-finals were raced in very shifty conditions. We made a couple of errors around the course and it gave an edge to Ben. We had the lead and we really fudged it on the bottom mark so we made two mistakes. It will be good to race against Taylor who is leading the tour right now and we are looking forward to the next time."
Taylor Canfield: "Bad umpiring calls. If the umpires knew what they were doing, we would have won the last race. And, you can quote me on that."
Meet the Finalists:
Francesco Bruni, from Palermo, Sicily was the America's Cup tactician for Luna Rossa and will play a key role in their next challenge.

Created in 1982, the Acupuncture Committee (AC), now the Acupuncture Board (AB) is the state agency under the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Medical Board of California, which licenses and regulates acupuncturists in California.
Between 1975 and 1982 acupuncturists were licensed by the MBC's Division of Allied Health Professions. The primary responsibility of the AB is to protect consumers from incompetent and fraudulent acupuncturists through the enforcement of the Acupuncture Licensure Act (Business and Professions Code Section 4925 through 4979) and the AB's regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 16, beginning with Section 1399.400). The AB also strives to promote safe practice through the improvement of educational training standards, continuing education, and disciplinary action.

The famous Italian design house Pininfarina rolled out the Cambiano concept on Tuesday at the Geneva motor show.
The styling study has a plug-in-electric propulsion system and is named after Pininfarina's hometown.
The sweeping concept suggests a large sedan, though the Cambiano actually has a three-door setup. The driver's side has one door, like a coupe, and the passenger side has two doors that swing open suicide-style.
The car has a long hood, slit headlights and a transparent roof with raked C-pillars.

This chapter provides instructions for using map triggers to validate, reject, or modify map operations before a change is committed to a map entry.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Map triggers supplement the standard capabilities of Coherence to provide a highly customized cache management system. Map triggers can be used to prevent invalid transactions, enforce complex security authorizations or complex business rules, provide transparent event logging and auditing, and gather statistics on data modifications. Other possible use for triggers include restricting operations against a cache to those issued during application re-deployment time.
For example, assume that you have code that is working with a
NamedCache, and you want to change an entry's behavior or contents before the entry is inserted into the map. The addition of a map trigger enables you to make this change without having to modify all the existing code.
Map triggers could also be used as part of an upgrade process. The addition of a map trigger could prompt inserts to be diverted from one cache into another.
A map trigger in the Coherence cache is somewhat similar to a trigger that might be applied to a database. It is a functional agent represented by the
MapTrigger interface that is run in response to a pending change (or removal) of the corresponding map entry. The pending change is represented by the
MapTrigger.Entry interface. This interface inherits from the
InvocableMap.Entry interface, so it provides methods to retrieve, update, and remove values in the underlying map.
MapTrigger interface contains the
process method that is used to validate, reject, or modify the pending change in the map. This method is called before an operation that intends to change the underlying map content is committed. An implementation of this method can evaluate the pending change by analyzing the original and the new value and produce any of the following results:
override the requested change with a different value
undo the pending change by resetting the original value
remove the entry from the underlying map
reject the pending change by throwing a runtime exception
do nothing, and allow the pending change to be committed
MapTrigger functionality is typically added as part of an application start-up process. It can be added programmatically as described in the
MapTrigger API, or it can be configured using the
class-factory mechanism in the
coherence-cache-config.xml configuration file. In this case, a
MapTrigger is registered during the very first
) call for the corresponding cache. Example 26-1 assumes that the
createMapTrigger method would return a new
MapTriggerListener(new MyCustomTrigger());:
Example 26-1 Example MapTriggerListener Configuration
<distributed-scheme> ... <listener> <class-scheme> <class-factory-name>package.MyFactory</class-factory-name> <method-name>createTriggerListener</method-name> <init-params> <init-param> <param-type>string</param-type> <param-value>{cache-name}</param-value> </init-param> </init-params> </class-scheme> </listener> </distributed-scheme>
In addition to the
.Entry and
MapTrigger interfaces, Coherence provides the
FilterTrigger and
MapTriggerListener classes. The
FilterTrigger is a generic
MapTrigger implementation that performs a predefined action if a pending change is rejected by the associated
Filter. The
FilterTrigger can either reject the pending operation, ignore the change and restore the entry's original value, or remove the entry itself from the underlying map.
MapTriggerListener is a special purpose
MapListener implementation that is used to register a
MapTrigger with a corresponding
NamedCache. In Example 26-2,
MapTriggerListener is used to register the
PersonMapTrigger with the
People named cache.
Example 26-2 A MapTriggerListener Registering a MapTrigger with a Named Cache
NamedCache person = CacheFactory.getCache("People"); MapTrigger trigger = new PersonMapTrigger(); person.addMapListener(new MapTriggerListener(trigger));
These API reside in the
com.tangosol.util package. For more information on these API, see Java API Reference for Oracle Coherence.
The code in Example 26-3 illustrates a map trigger and how it can be called. In the
PersonMapTrigger class, the
process method is implemented to modify an entry before it is placed in the map. In this case, the last name attribute of a
Person object is converted to upper case characters. The object is then returned to the entry.
Example 26-3 A MapTrigger Class
... public class PersonMapTrigger implements MapTrigger { public PersonMapTrigger() { } public void process(MapTrigger.Entry entry) { Person person = (Person) entry.getValue(); String sName = person.getLastName(); String sNameUC = sName.toUpperCase(); if (!sNameUC.equals(sName)) { person.setLastName(sNameUC); System.out.println("Changed last name of [" + sName + "] to [" + person.getLastName() + "]"); entry.setValue(person); } } // ---- hashCode() and equals() must be implemented public boolean equals(Object o) { return o != null && o.getClass() == this.getClass(); } public int hashCode() { return getClass().getName().hashCode(); } }
MapTrigger in Example 26-4, calls the
PersonMapTrigger. The new
MapTriggerListener passes the
PersonMapTrigger to the
Example 26-4 Calling a MapTrigger and Passing it to a Named Cache
... public class MyFactory { /** * Instantiate a MapTriggerListener for a given NamedCache */ public static MapTriggerListener createTriggerListener(String sCacheName) { MapTrigger trigger; if ("People".equals(sCacheName)) { trigger = new PersonMapTrigger(); } else { throw IllegalArgumentException("Unknown cache name " + sCacheName); } System.out.println("Creating MapTrigger for cache " + sCacheName); return new MapTriggerListener(trigger); } public static void main(String[] args) { NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache("People"); cache.addMapListener(createTriggerListener("People")); System.out.println("Installed MapTrigger into cache People"); } }
