Since its introduction in 1990, General Motors has attached the Silhouette name to an Oldsmobile that is a sibling in a family of minivans, all built from the same platform. The Chevrolet Venture is the affordable version; the Pontiac Montana is the sporty version but if GM buyers want luxury, the Silhouette is the target vehicle.
The Silhouette comes in either base GL, mid-trim GLS or as our tester for the week, the top-line Premiere.
OUTSIDE - Originally, the Silhouette of 1990 was a rather odd-looking vehicle, with a radically pointed nose and a vast, expansive dashboard. It quickly earned the moniker Dustbuster, which aggravated GM promotional people. A complete redesign in 1997 brought a much more palatable look, with a shorter nose, a less-raked hood and windshield, and, most importantly, sliding rear doors on both sides. In addition, the passenger side sliding door is powered and can be operated by either an interior switch or a key fob transmitter. Power on the driver's side slider is optional. Our Premiere Edition came standard with 16-inch spoked alloy wheels and P225/60R16 all-weather tires.
INSIDE - The Silhouette has four bucket seats covered in two-tone leather in the case of the Premiere Edition, along with a removable third-row bench. Our Premiere Edition came with another pair of bucket seats in the rear instead of the bench. The seat padding is soft and cozy, with eight-way power adjustments for both front seats. Climbing in is easy, thanks to strategically-placed grab handles at the door openings. There is a sliding drawer under the front passenger seat, along with map pockets in the front seatbacks and in each door. And there is enough cargo area behind the rearmost seats for a sizable amount of luggage, while removing the seats provides much more. Ergonomics are good, although the rear wiper/washer and cruise control buttons are all crowded onto the turn signal stalk. New this year is Rear Parking Aid, a system that detects objects behind the vehicle when reverse is used and issues warning "beeps." Other standard Premiere equipment includes dual-zone air conditioning with rear vents and a filtration system, overhead console, keyless remote entry, fog lamps, power windows, mirrors and door locks, heated front seats, OnStar communications package, an uplevel stereo and a VCR/TV video package.
ON THE ROAD - The Silhouette is powered by a 3.4-liter V6 engine that produces 185 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque. Like many of the current crop of General Motors engines, it uses a venerable overhead valve design instead of the sophisticated overhead cams and multiple valves of some of its competitors. This design is tried-and-true, though it lags behind other minivans in the noise, vibration and harshness department. New this year is improved emission control equipment that allows Silhouette to become an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV). And while its off-the-line launch is good, the upper reaches of its RPM range brings lots of noise and a noticeable drop in power. Its electronically-controlled four-speed automatic transmission always shifted smoothly and consistently and is widely considered one of the best on the market. A full-function traction control system is standard on GLS and Premiere levels and optional on the GL version.
BEHIND THE WHEEL - The Silhouette rides on unibody construction with a strut-type independent front suspension and a simple rigid rear axle. Both ends use coil springs, but the rear also has a load-leveling system that keeps the van on an even keel, regardless of the amount of load inside. Cornering is stable and confident, with very little body roll and a moderate amount of tire scrub. A precise rack-and-pinion steering system is standard, while its relatively narrow overall width makes it easy to park inside those notorious compact parking spots. Braking is handled with front discs and rear drums, with a standard four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS).
SAFETY - Dual dashboard airbags, side-impact airbags, ABS, traction control and rear child seat anchors are standard.
OPTIONS - Chrome wheels, $695

They did with the wiki content, probably they will do the same thing or something similar with Rosetta translations. The question is if it will be free.

The real problem, is that we have reports of people overwritten translation using Rosetta, and usually, with bad translations, which means that we can trust *our* translation, but we still need to check if it is worthwhile to review translation from others or just translate it again in the "Right Way (tm)" (and there is still the license problem, how to push something without being allowed to).
If the content we're merging is free, there's no problem show this to the reviewer and let him accept or refuse the translation. It's way simpler to do than rewrite everything again. If the translation was overwritten in a 'source' (eg: Rosetta), we should show the translation we've and the alternative translations as suggestions. regards, -- stratus

Wasn't it nice in the days before social networking, before intelligent spam filters and privacy concerns? You could just send out a few thousand emails and watch them land on the virtual desks of the people in your bought list. Everything was so much simpler then, there was even the slight possibility that someone might open your email and take a look because they didn't have 500 emails sitting permanently in their inbox, looking for a home.
Okay, I'm being facetious, but there's no denying that our job as marketers have got more difficult in the last few years, and it's going to get worse.
Let's put ourselves in the shoes of the consumer, it shouldn't be difficult, as let's not forget, we're consumers too.
In this digital world we have more information than we could possibly ever want. Whether it's videos to watch – 24 hours of video are uploaded every minute on YouTube – or articles to read – 25% of all tweets contain links and your average user receives approximately 40 tweeted links per day – we are flooded with information. Some of it will be important and some of it will be rubbish, but the challenge remains to be able to filter the good from the bad.
As a result of this information glut, especially the glut of messages, companies such as Google and Facebook are starting to introduce technology to help their customers manage their inbox.
Google Priority Inbox works out which mail is important to you using a combination of factors, including if how often you've emailed the sender before, Whether you have opened messages from the sender before (or just deleted them), whether the email contains keywords similar to those in emails you have read previously, and finally, whether you've replied to them before. Message that it deems are important get given priority billing at the top of your inbox, pushing unimportant mails down into the main bulk of email. Users can help train the system using the 'Important' and 'Not Important' buttons. Interestingly, early figures are showing that, on average, users are spending 15% less time each day reading email, and a significant 43% more time reading important mail compared to unimportant. These figures are compared to Google Mail users who haven't enabled Priority Inbox, but they still give an insight as to how reading habits will change.
Facebook Messages is yet to roll out, but is grabbing a lot of attention. Their approach is to combine all communications into a single conversational view, so that email, chat and SMS all appear side by side. Using this paradigm, all messages would appear side-by-side in a single fluid conversation. For the user it's a simple experience, for Facebook it's a great lock-in tool. A key element of Messages is the ability to filter incoming messages, in much the same way as Google Priority inbox. However, Facebook has the added advantage of being able to see which senders you are friends with by looking directly at your friends list, not just your previous activity. Any messages received from sources outside this list get automatically moved to a separate folder that isn't visible by default, and in some cases, will be automatically bounced back to the sender.
In the desktop space, Microsoft has included their Outlook Social Connector built in to Outlook 2010 (although it also works in 2007 and 2003). This add-on connects your Outlook to your social media accounts, and supports Facebook, LinkedIn and others. Although this is currently used simply to add contextual information to your contacts, it's a simple jump for Microsoft to start using this information to prioritise and filter your email based on your relationship to the sender.
Although these technologies are all in relative infancy at the moment, there is no doubt that they will improve, and the fundamental idea behind them – that your social circle, personal and business, is the most important group with which you communicate – will be realised more effectively.
A few days ago, a B2BM Blog posed the question: Email is dead, email is not dead, arrgh! Which is it? Well, it's neither. As with all things, it evolves over time. Communication systems that were once distinct (telephone, IM, Email, SMS) are merging, through the use of portals such as Facebook, Google and Outlook, into a single communication system. And with that convergence the rules that govern those systems will also merge.
So, as marketers, where does this leave us?
Put simply, we are going to have to make friends. Moving forward, to maximise our ability to engage and communicate with our customers across all touch points, we must become part of their social circle, and that will require a very different approach. Social Media will have to take the lead as we become more responsive, more personal and, ultimately, more human in our marketing activity. Those brands that can pull consumers to them (rather than push at them) will find themselves well set, taking on the affectations of web celebrity and gathering followers around them. Hopefully creating a strong group of brand advocates.
That's enough for now. In part 2, I'll look at how we can manage our clients growing social landscapes effectively and harness the relationships we build.

Unitarian Universalism: Building Upon a Heritage Of Social Action
Unitarian Universalists are woven throughout the fabric of American history by a common thread of dedication to public service. This includes such men and women as: Thomas Jefferson; John Adams; John Quincy Adams; Susan B. Anthony; Clara Barton; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Henry David Thoreau; Oliver Wendell Holmes; Albert Schweitzer; Roger Baldwin; Adlai Stevenson; and Ted Sorenson.
At the Unitarian Church of Summit, we strive to build on this tradition by not only being a center for peace and tolerance, but also a voice for social justice in our community and our larger world. It is our belief that the path to better, more meaningful lives rests in completely inclusive spirituality, service to others and stewardship. Our calling is to heal our world.
Our Approach to Social Action
Our Social Action Committee (SAC) welcomes broad participation in its work. The SAC has come upon a powerful model for outreach. Key to this approach is:
- Empowering individual SAC members to assume a leadership role in creating and implementing initiatives of interest to them.
- Working together to understand what the issues are and where the need resides
- Identifying tangible social action that can serve the needs of a specific and identifiable group of people
- Measuring our impact and being held accountable for achieving results; and from that process, learning how we can improve what we have to offer.
The SAC focuses on small multi-year initiatives and continues to add at least one or two each year. These initiatives span the gamut from addressing hunger and homelessness; mass disasters at home and abroad; reaching out to our neighbors in surrounding urban settings that need our assistance; and addressing civil liberties concerns, such as the needs of detained immigrants. All of these are discreet projects with a clear start and end point that have the capacity for achievable and measurable results.
We also support others in the congregation who perform social action witness through book readings, protests, workshops and gatherings.
Our Social Action Initiatives
Our social action initiatives generally fall into one of the following seven categories. Please click on them to learn more:
- Hunger and Homelessness
- The Needs of Our Local Community – The Irvington Initiative
- The Needs of the International Community
- Humanitarian Emergencies
- Bringing Unitarian Universalist Values to Government
- Immigration Initiative
- Initiatives Outside of Our Social Action Committee
The Story of our Social Action Committee
The recently-published, Assembling the Pieces: Supercharging Unitarian Universalist Social Action Committees, authored by the previous Chair of our Social Action Committee, Gary D. Nissenbaum, provides a step-by-step approach to invigorating a Social Action Committee. It also tells the story of our social action efforts at the Unitarian Church in Summit from 2005 forward. The proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to the Unitarian Church in Summit's initiative to support the social action efforts of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
Our Social Action Committee conducted a workshop with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee on this topic at the 2011 Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA) New York Metro District Annual meeting. This was followed by an expanded workshop attended by nearly 200 Unitarian Universalist ministers and lay leaders from around the country at the UUA's 2011 Annual General Assembly.

Heather Lou's Ginger Jean pattern is exceptional! https://store.closetcasepatterns.com/products/ginger-skinny-jeans-pattern
WOW! The eagle decided to bless these jeans! I just saw her in the sky of this photo! can you see her above the mountains?
I have been using Heather Lou's ebook for the instructions on these jeans- it is fabulous! https://store.closetcasepatterns.com/products/sewing-your-own-jeans-ebook
I decided to make this pair of jeans a little looser fitting because my last pair is a little too tight but than I lost weight so now these are a little too loose! Ah! the fickle finger of fitting!!!!!
I do love how the eagle feathers came out!
And the eagle on the back pocket!
"Forgive Me
Angles are wonderful but they are so, well, aloof.
It's what I sense in the mud and in the roots of the
trees, or the well, or the barn, or the rock with
its citron map of lichen that halts my feet and
makes my eyes flare, feeling the presence of some
spirit, some small god, who abides there.
If I were a perfect person, I would be bowing
I'm not, though I pause wherever I feel this
holiness, which is why I am often so late coming
back from wherever I went.
Forgive me."

You have to be RealJuly 10th, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized
Any Jackass can kick a barn down. It takes a builder to build one.
Nice quote eh?
I had an interesting week last week. Last Monday July the 2nd someone came to my house at 4pm with the intent of murdering me. I don't live my life by anyone else's terms. Like Steve Jobs said-
Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life.
My doorbell rang at 4pm after I finished mowing my yard. There was an individual standing there that said to me "Hey Eric, I love your music man. I'm a big fan. Are you going to be playing at Rubber Gloves any time soon?"
I am 43 years young, I've been on the planet a while, long enough to trust my gut. This didn't add up.
I don't play at Rubber Gloves. It's not my scene. Not that I've never been there as a fan, but I do not perform there. He also made a remark about whether to as I work out. I had my shirt off as I had just finished mowing my yard. When my instincts take over I know there is potential danger and I listen to my instincts.
I gave this individual my business card, asked him his name, and mentioned to him he could simply stop by my website and find out when I would be performing. I purposely and assertively positioned my body in front of his and led both of us out into my front yard and locked my front door. When I sense malicious intent my instincts take over. I shook his hand as a bit of a barometer to read the situation and walked into my backyard from the front of my house to get my dog. A few minutes later as I walked out with my dog from my backyard this individual was ringing my doorbell in hopes of a second chance of entry into my home.
In frustration as I rounded the corner he lost his cool and shot me point blank in the chest from the front porch of my home.
I realized what had happened, put my finger in the gunshot wound to seal the bleeding, and jogged to my neighbors home and asked him to please call 911. Within minutes I was care-flighted to The Medical Center of Plano where an excellent medical staff attended to me and saved my life. I had no idea who would want to shoot me and I was asked by a great detective from the Denton Police Department to describe the suspect.
Within minutes he figured out someone who may have had completely misdirected and unfounded motive and apprehended the suspect accordingly. I do not live my life in fear. I do not fear death, and I do not fear anyone or anything. I accept we are all put here on this Earth to be the best that we can be and we will be tested over and over again. You can be guaranteed of that.
Why am I telling you all of this? It's very simple, I could be dead now, and I am not. You could be dead now, and your not. Quit holding back, quit selling yourself short and get busy believing in yourself and allowing yourself to believe you deserve it.
I cannot teach you violence as I myself do not believe in it. However I can teach you not to bow your heads before anyone. I did not bow my head before this individual and here I am standing proud and tall as I always have, will, and always will be. My soul is bullet-proof, and so is yours. Get to living your life accordingly.
Unfortunately this individual now has to live with the consequences of his misdirected energies. We all are responsible for what we do and how we live our lives. I choose each day carefully how I spend my time as it is the greatest asset I have. You might consider doing the same. I love sounding like a broken record. Repetition is the mother of all skill. So here's some repetition for you. The only thing that happens when you wait is you get older.
Any Jackass can kick a barn down. It takes a builder to build one. Don't be a Jackass.

The use of pesticides and industrial contaminants in the past are still affecting us today. Parents are being advised in a preventative measure in order to ensure the chemical arsenic is not being fed to their children along with the rice at dinner.
British research scientists warn that rice is being grown where contaminants were used in the past. The poison arsenic is found in trace amounts in the rice as a result. However, there is good news. There is a method of cooking that can remove the traces and ensure the rice is safe for consumption by children. That cooking method?
Use the coffee percolator. This has been shown to remove almost 85-percent of the arsenic. At the levels that remain, the poison is not dangerous. The process is currently not patented, but Queens University in Belfast is seeking the patent, as the discovery of the success of this cooking method was credited to them.
Rice generally has 10 times more inorganic arsenic than any other food. This means that people who eat rice regularly in their diet tend to have extremely high and unhealthy amounts of arsenic in their systems.
In addition, the typical method of cooking rice by boiling water and then boiling the rice until it soaks up all the liquid actually keeps the arsenic in the rice better than any comparable method. So that means you get all the arsenic that was in the rice, rather than cooking any away.
The percolating technology runs the water through the rice, rather than allowing it to cover the rice until it is boiled away. This process washes away arsenic rather than ensuring the rice retains the high levels. The success rate of this cooking method ranges form 57-percent to 85-percent of the arsenic present in the rice.
High levels of arsenic can lead to heart disease, diabetes, lung and bladder cancer, nervous system damage and developmental issues for those still growing.
New limits are going into effect in the summer of 2016, set by the European Commission, that will severely impact rice sales, as of the current rice sold in the United Kingdom, more than half had higher levels of arsenic present than will be allowed by the new standards. Sadly, some of the products that include this high level of arsenic are sold directly for the consumption of babies and toddlers, including breakfast cereals.
Brown rice typically had higher levels of arsenic than white rice. Also, in a frightening discovery, rice milk had exceedingly high levels of arsenic, leading to the recommendation that children not receive rice milk.
This makes it a bit frightening to attempt to eat healthy and feed your children a seemingly innocuous and safe food, since arsenic hides in the innocent looking white and brown grains.
How Rice Can Cause Cancer (And How to Avoid This)
The use of pesticides and industrial contaminants in the past are still affecting us today. Parents are being advised in a preventative measure in order to ensure the chemical arsenic is not being fed to their children along with the rice at dinner.

In June, Andrew Mitchell, the international development secretary, gave a good kicking to the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC), the government's development finance arm with a remit to invest in places where others fear to venture.
Wholly owned by the Department for International Development (DfID), the CDC was told to slash bonuses for its top executives, become a "development-maximising, not a profit-maximising, enterprise", and start investing directly in projects rather than indirectly through fund managers.
Set up in 1948 to promote economic development in Britain's colonies, the CDC is the government's main vehicle for supporting the private sector in developing countries. It has been criticised for focusing too much on financial gains, and last year it emerged that CDC executives had racked up huge expenses.
In March the Commons international development committee (IDC) recommended splitting the CDC in two, with one part left to continue private equity investments, which make "impressive financial returns", and the other taking more direct action on the corporation's poverty alleviation brief.
DfID did not go along with the committee's recommendation, but Mitchell's strictures about "development-maximising" appear to be getting through.
As part of DfID's focus on the poorest people in India, the CDC – which is sitting on top of £2.8bn of assets (technically, taxpayers' money) – will invest $50m in an Indian venture fund founded by a former investment banker. Narayanan Shadagopan, formerly of Credit Suisse and Royal Bank of Scotland, set up Pragati to look for investments in India's eight poorest states.
Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa and West Bengal are home to some 421 million people who are defined as "multi-dimensionally poor" by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Index, more than the 26 poorest African countries combined (410 million). This is the flipside of India's economic success story, complete with its first Formula One, and where the collective net worth of the country's 100 wealthiest individuals stands at $241bn (admittedly down from $300bn in 2010), according to India Today.
Typically, private equity is looking at investment returns of 20% so Pragati will be aiming for these kinds of returns although Anubha Shrivastava, the CDC's managing director, Asia, is more cautious.
"Not all stories will be success stories," she said at the CDC's office on Victoria Street, not far from DfID, reflecting the arm's length relationship between the two. "By anchoring this venture, we are not so much focusing on financial returns as kickstarting of a process of reform of the business ecosystem."
The CDC joined forces with Shadagopan as he too was interested in investing in India's poorest states. His name came up as CDC officials talked to chambers of commerce, lawyers and accountants who form a useful network for contacts.
Shrivastava said: "He was looking at some poor states and had the right ideas for the first poorest state fund in india. We helped him to hone his fund strategy, interviewed his team and suggested skills they would need. It's a sizeable investment for us and we're hopeful others will come in."
Pragati is venturing into difficult territory. Investors have shied away from India's poorest states, where the unskilled population, lack of finance and poor infrastructure have proved strong deterrents. A lack of a proper regulatory framework and corruption do not help either. Moreover, investments in such regions often fail because of poor access to markets and weak infrastructure. While fully aware of the pitfalls, Shrivastava still believes good returns can be made in such unpromising environments.
"We are saying to investors 'come on guys, there are commercial opportunities and it's not diffcult as you think it is,'" she said.
Shrivastava said the CDC had thought long and hard about putting $50m into Pragati, but believes there are enough projects to absorb the funds. After contributions from other investors, she estimates the fund will have between $80m to $100m for projects in infrastructure, health, manufacturing and education. Pragati will make investments in the range of $5m to $15m.
The investment is sorely needed. Historically, the eight poorest states have been neglected by Indian and foreign investors, in what the CDC describes as a market failure. The CDC will be keeping a close eye on Pragati, especially in its first few deals, as its success will be crucial to attract other investors.
Possible deals include one with a company in Madhya Pradesh that manufactures products for municipal waste management. The company is looking for an investment to expand, while a railway equipment company in Uttar Pradesh hopes to introduce a new design that could reduce fuel consumption by as much as 30% in diesel engines.
"It's very much a hands-on process to begin with," said Shrivastava, who visits Delhi every month. "The first few deals need to be structured properly so they resonate with other investors."
Mitchell, a former investment banker at Lazard's and a vocal supporter of the private sector in development, says Britain will transform its development relationship with India over the next few years.
"These kind of investments from CDC will bring our new vision to life," he said. "There is still desperate poverty in India – for instance, in Madhya Pradesh half of all young children are malnourished. Providing much-needed capital to promising small businesses in states like this can help people escape poverty, providing jobs and security and boosting economic growth."

Morning Light – May 10th, 2016
Today: [Psalms Seven] The Fate of Those who Curse You. In this chapter we find David crying out for God to defend him from his enemies. David has many people around him who are his body guards but he wants to see the hand of God vindicate his testimony. There are times that friends will defend us but when our defense comes from God that is the end of the matter. This psalm was written on the occasion of false accusation against David. Those who accused called for David's destruction but in the end their pronunciations against David only defined their own fate.
[Psa 7:1-17 KJV] 1 [[Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.]] O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
This psalms begins with a reference to it's inspiration. David wrote this psalm because of the words of a person named Cush which many believe to be Shimei who cursed and threw stones at David as he was fleeing from Absalom. The psalm is called a Shiggaion of David which there is no clear consensus regarding. This could refer to the instrument to be played or to the type of song it is. The word Shiggaion comes from a root word meaning to wander. From a renewalist perspective I believe the to mean that David was "wandering" or ecstatic in his speaking. He wasn't premeditating his words but rather prophesying and speaking extemporaneously by the inspiration of the Spirit of God.
In verse 1 David calls upon God to save him because of the words spoken against him. He is surrounded by many soldiers and mighty men but he puts his trust in the Lord. When you are faced with difficulty and challenges from unsavory people you may also have the luxury occasionally of having allies and those who want to protect you. When Shimei cursed we find in 2 Sam. 16:5 that Joab's brother Abishai asked permission to fall on him and take his head off. David refused claiming perhaps God had bidden Shimei to curse. In other words though David had allies and those who would defend his honor he wanted his deliverance to come from God as a vindication of his rule and his testimony. When people defend you strife grows and expands. When God defends you it is the end of the matter.
David cries out to God to preserve him because his enemy wants to tear him in pieces like a lion. It is true that when you have someone who chooses to be your enemy their desires upon you are usually disproportionate with the cause of their offence. We see this in Christian circles much of the time when believers over a simple doctrinal dispute will call for each other to be turned over to the devil to be destroyed for daring to disagree with them in the slightest matters.
David's prayer takes the form of seeking vindication of the truth of the matter. He declares to God that he has been falsely accused. He plainly asks that if he is guilty of doing what he is accused of then let him fall. In other words as Paul appealed to Caesar in Acts 25:11 David is appealing to the throne. David trusts in the divine justice of God. Sometimes we retreat from the judgment of God as though we cannot trust it. In reality the justice of God is always right and even in the most difficult matters, we as David may safely trust in the heart of the Father to always dispose of matters in our lives in our own best interest when we humble ourselves before Him.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day. 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
In verse 6 David calls for God to arise and execute the judgment that was commanded. What was the judgment David was referring to? It was God's covenantal justice. The commandment David is referring to does not mean that he thought he had the right to tell God what to do. The commandment in David's mind was the promise of God to the Hebrew people as descended from the line of Abraham. In Gen. 12:3 God promises that He will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you. This means that God will execrate from your life those that even trifle with you in the slightest way – how much more so those that earnestly seek your detriment?
In verse 8 David calls upon God to judge him in his righteousness. David's righteousness may have been based on adherence to Moses' law. The righteousness of a New Testament believer is based upon who we are in Christ. 1 Cor. 1:30 tells us that God made Jesus to be our righteousness. When we pray "in Jesus' name" we are praying as David for God to judge us according to our righteousness (not based on religious performance but upon the efficacy of the blood of Christ in our behalf).
David calls for the wickedness of the wicked to come to an end. It is a truth that love never fails (1 Cor. 13:8) but every other motive and action runs out of energy and is exhausted. If we simply keep walking in love we will always outlast our persecutors. The Roman Empire persecuted and brutally martyred thousands upon thousands of Christians for 3 centuries until it collapsed, exhausted at the foot of the cross. Likewise in our day we need not fret about the rising tide of persecution and hatred against our faith – in time as we continue to walk in love this too shall come to its end. This is true whether it be a personal trial and persecution against you by an individual or the hatred of the whole world against Christ. In the end our victory is assured.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Verse 11 says that God is angry with the wicked every day but will judge in favor of the righteous. When we read this remember that our righteousness is not in our cause or our moral code but in Christ. In Christ we are sheltered from the wrath of God. Outside of Christ men are exposed to the consequences of their choices. Always remember that there is anger in God. His nature is mercy and He has provided us mercy in Christ but for those who by their choice consciously turn away from Christ there are consequences.
The chapter concludes with David's prediction that the pit that others have prepared for him will be their own doom. When others plan for you what God has not planned or wish misfortune for you they are only delineating in their bitterness and hatred what will happen in their own lives. In order for God to be worshipped of our own free will He of necessity must allow for consequences for choosing otherwise. The reality of eternal punishment is a bitter truth that even the most conservative believers are questioning these days. But it is a fact that outside of Christ God is not winking at sin and deciding to overlook it. The only amelioration for sin is the accepting the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Outside that bloodline is only found the wrath and judgment of God whether we find it to be politically correct or not.

What is a Medical Assistant's Role?
The medical assistant performs administrative and clinical duties focused on patient care and efficient office work-flow in an ambulatory medical facility under the direct supervision of the doctor for whom they work. This could be private, single provider and group medical practices (HMO), walk-in wellness clinics, and ambulatory medical emergency facilities to name a few. There they handle daily medical office routines and a list of unforeseen situations that typically require fast thinking and immediate action.
Some medical assistants serve in a more general position, others are highly specified in their duties. Medical assistants in the front reception area have specialized in administrative procedures. They greet, register and check in existing and new patients, help them fill out required forms, releases and other paperwork, explain services, their cost and what the patient's responsibilities will be. They verify health insurance coverage and put together the patient's medical chart.
The medical assistant in the back office predominantly focuses on clinical tasks. They escort patients to the examination room to record vital signs and a brief medical history and perform tests that require special devices, such as a Holter Monitor, oxygen-, cardio-pulmonary and respiratory device, or the electrocardiograph (EKG/ECG machine) and administer injections and medications as ordered by the physician.
Illy, a Certified Medical Assistant, shared the following with us:
"Medical assistants are vital to a clinic. We do it all. I room up to 30 patients a day by myself. When I am not rooming, I am helping the receptionist answer multiple phone lines, medical records, faxing prescriptions, filing, preparing charts for future appointments. I am great at what I do and my paycheck reflects that. I feel like I am doing the work I was born to do."
The list of duties is long:
- Maintain patient's safe passage in and out of the clinic, and ancillary services
- Greet, assess and interview patients
- File paperwork, lab slips, and insurance information into the medical charts
- Obtain past medical and surgical history, family history, social history, vital signs
- Review present medications, allergy history, chief complaint, and brief interrogation of complaint
- Act as a liaison between doctor and patient
- Explain medication, side effects, treatments, diets, diseases and disease processes
- Update medication list and current problem list
- Prepare and aid patients for examination, treatment, or procedure by medical staff
- Anticipate needs of patients, and the doctor under whom I work
- Monitor of patient during examination, or procedure
- Maintain and update level of skill for pertinent medical assistant duties
- Maintain patient care areas
- Stocking and ordering of supplies as needed
- Charge and code supplies, medications, and procedures
- Respond to patient's concerns in person or by telephone while simultaneously documenting the problem
- Maintain patient confidentiality
- Participate in training and skills development of new medical assistants
Handling these responsibilities requires attention to detail, flexibility and a keen understanding of patient care and medical office services in a typical healthcare setting.

I guess another 2 - 3 weeks on it, so it's nearing the end. With the rotation though I won't see it again now for another 4 weeks.

RALEIGH — State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell, CPA, joined the credit rating agency Moody's in recognizing new legislation bolstering the state's Savings Reserve or, "Rainy Day Fund," as a "credit positive" measure.
House Bill 7, the subject of a new comment by Moody's, was approved by the North Carolina General Assembly and signed by Governor Roy Cooper on April 13th. Moody's is one of the "big three" agencies providing research and credit ratings for commercial and government entities. The company stated in the comment that the measure "will improve the state's financial flexibility and its ability to respond to future contingencies."
"The General Assembly deserves the credit for taking the necessary steps to strengthen the 'Rainy Day Fund,'" said Treasurer Folwell. "The Moody's comment is proof that this type of leadership has not gone unnoticed by the rating agencies and should only help North Carolina preserve and strengthen its AAA bond rating."
North Carolina is one of only 12 states in the U.S. that has a AAA bond rating with all three rating agencies. Bond ratings are an important component in determining the costs of borrowing money through the issuance of state and local bonds. Higher bond ratings potentially reduce interest costs, resulting in more funding for schools, roads and law enforcement.
The new law requires 15% of each fiscal year's estimated growth in sales tax revenue be transferred to the Rainy Day Fund while also limiting the fund's use to prevent it from being exhausted in a single year.
Moody's further noted that "the new law will provide guidelines for current and future administrations, helping to maintain a steady level of reserves."
House Bill 7 was sponsored by Representatives Nelson Dollar, Chuck McGrady, Dean Arp, Bobbie Richardson, George Cleveland, Kevin Corbin, Jimmie Dixon, Carl Ford, Kyle Hall, D. Craig Horn, Pat Hurley, Frank Iler, Susan Martin, Allen McNeill and Harry Warren.

More than 300 academics from dozens of British universities have pledged to boycott Israeli academic institutions in protest at what they call intolerable human rights violations against the Palestinian people. The declaration, by 343 professors and lecturers, is printed in a full-page advertisement carried in Tuesday's Guardian, with the title: "A commitment by UK scholars to the rights of Palestinians."
The pledge says the signatories, from a variety of universities in
England and Wales, will not accept invitations to visit Israeli academic
institutions, act as referees for them, or take part in events
organised or funded by them. They will, however, still work with
individual Israeli academics, it adds.
The advert says the signatories are "deeply disturbed by Israel's
illegal occupation of Palestinian land, the intolerable human rights
violations that it inflicts on all sections of the Palestinian people,
and its apparent determination to resist any feasible settlement".
In a statement on behalf of the organisers Prof Jonathan Rosenhead, of the London School of Economics said Israel's universities were "at the heart of Israel's violations of
international law and oppression of the Palestinian people".
The initiative brought immediate criticism from the British and
Israeli governments. The British ambassador to Israel, David Quarrey,
said he was "deeply committed" to promoting academic and scientific
ties. The Israeli embassy in London published a scathing response to the
ad, saying: "Boycott movements only aim to sow hatred and alienation
between the sides, rather than promoting coexistence."
The advert comes less than a week after a group of writers,
academics, MPs and others, among them JK Rowling, Simon Schama and Zoë
Wanamaker, wrote to the Guardian to criticise the idea of such boycotts. The letter followed a pledge in February by hundreds of artists and musicians
to instigate a cultural boycott of Israel due to the country's
"unrelenting attack on [Palestinian] land, their livelihood, their right
to political existence".
The counter-letter called boycotts singling out Israel "divisive and
Earlier this year, Britain's National Union of Students voted to
affiliate itself with the BDS movement.

By Matt SmolskyWhether you're planning a trip to an exotic location, still dreaming, or pining to go back again, try staying in a vacation rental the next time you go. While hotels and resorts have advantages, nothing equals the feeling of being on vacation in an exotic location and feeling like you're a native. Vacation rentals give you an unbeatable opportunity to know what it feels like to be a native in paradise. But be warned: Once you start vacationing in exotic locations, you'll never want to come back and, if you do, you'll always want to return as soon as possible.
To call South Island picturesque is an understatement. It's one of the reasons Lord of the Rings was filmed there: the region has an otherworldly quality that's striking and memorable. As many times as you see it, you still feels as if you're seeing it for the first time. The area has it all--perfect, pristine coastlines, mountains, glaciers, volcanoes. You can ski, dive and hike. Or take in wine tours, spa treatments and find unique gifts while shopping.
Since you've flown all the way to the South Island, why not extend the stay for a week and take in the North Island? It has plenty of natural beauty to offer, but since 70% of the population lives on the North Island, you can get to know New Zealanders and have a more urban experience in Auckland or Wellington. Travel tips: the beaches are simply breathtaking and the island is very drivable.
On your way back from New Zealand, ask the boss for an extra week off. You'll be laying over in Hawaii and you may as well stay awhile. Whether it's your first trip to Hawaii or your 100th, a vacation on the islands is simply worth it. Hawaii is the original exotic location and you can literally have it all. Escape to the quiet beauty of Kauai, or immerse yourself in the modern luxury of Oahu. Take a day or a year to relax on Maui's beaches, or get a taste of every eco-system on the planet (and get away from it all) on the Big Island. You'll feel like you're a world away from everything and everybody, and you won't have to teleport to another planet or exchange currency.
After you're week (or two) in Hawaii, you won't be even close to being ready to go back to work. So do like the Europeans do and round out your vacation to a whole month and head down to Bali. Try Ubud and take in the Puri Saren Agung, a lavish palace now used for incredible performances by traditional Balinese dancers. There are magnificent rivers, temples, rice terraces, and lots of art districts where you'll find both galleries and workshops. After all, Ubud is considered the cultural center of Bali.

SAN JUAN – The Institute of Statistics of Puerto Rico released updated data Friday on the movement of passengers on domestic flights up to April, as reported by airlines to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS).
A summary of the results follows:
–In the last four months of last year (September to December 2017) during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, some -200,000 net passengers left on domestic flights.
–In contrast, in the first four months of the year (January to April 2018), some 72,000 people arrived in Puerto Rico in net terms on domestic flights.
–This represents a remarkable change with respect to previous years. For example, for the same period the previous year (January to April 2017), instead of a net arrival of passengers, almost 40,000 net airline passengers had left.
–In the first 10 months of fiscal year 2018, there has been a net movement of air passengers in domestic flights of almost -155,000 air passengers. In the last three calendar years (2014, 2015 and 2016), the net movement of air passengers on domestic flights, -89,000 passengers left on average per year.
"We've been trying to identify a pattern of return after Hurricane Maria. Finally, these data confirm that trend. Although the figure does not indicate that a similar number of people have returned among those who left after the Hurricane, the data suggest that this process of return has begun. We will have to see how the movement of passengers behaves during this summer to have a more complete picture.
"But, for the moment, these data suggest that for the 2017-18 fiscal year there will be a net migration of approximately between -150,000 and -170,000 people. If so, this will represent an increase of the migration wave Puerto Rico had been experiencing before the Hurricane, which hovered around 90,000 a year before Hurricane Maria. But, at the same time, it will represent a substantially lower increase than the -250,000 people that had been projected in the last Fiscal Plan," Dr. Mario Marazzi-Santiago, executive director of the institute, said in a release.

How to pick the right blender that can accomplish your daily tasks
You all spent time in the kitchen for food preparation so gadgets are important; these tools may speed up our work in the kitchen. There is no doubt that these days you cannot think about working in a kitchen without a blender. There are a lot of choices in different models of blenders available in the market but you have to see which model would cater to your needs and come under your budget. Many companies are making these blenders but you have to see which company has stratified you over the years. If you are a frequent user of it then you need a good one which will last longer and also remember that a cheaper one has no worth as it may not work longer and you may need replacement for it in the middle of time.
You must look carefully at the various features of the particular blender that you are considering to buy and match these features with your needs and preferences. You can distinguish one blender with another by their powers or watts. Moreover, you can also distinguish in terms of whether the blenders are plastic ones or stainless steel and what features they have. Powerful blenders can work easily even with ice in them for crushing. Good blenders are perfect when it comes to mixing and preparing ice cocktails and smoothies.
If you need a stronger and long lasting blender then select the metal ones which are believed to be more durable. You have to clean every blender and cleaning the stainless steel ones is convenient. However, blender jars are usually available in glass and plastic. A glass jar is attractive and you can clean it easier but it is breakable if dropped. Plastic jars are harder and may not break easily. These are made for the commercial or industrial users as well. If you are looking for a blender, blenderreviews.io can help you in finding the right one according to your needs and preferences.
Buying a blender is a very personal thing and it all depends upon you; what you like and need, and what your pocket allows you to buy. You must make the decision carefully keeping in view your kitchen needs, preferences, and your budget.

ThinkProgress, for example, caught up with GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain yesterday at the Conservative Principles Conference in Iowa... TP asked a good follow-up question: "Would you be comfortable appointing a Muslim, either in your cabinet or as a federal judge?" Cain replied:"No, I would not. And here's why. There is this creeping attempt, there is this attempt to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government. It does not belong in our government. This is what happened in Europe. And little by little, to try and be politically correct, they made this little change, they made this little change. And now they've got a social problem that they don't know what to do with..."
[W]hat if [Cain] said that his cabinet would be completely secularized and contain nothing but atheists, adhering to the interpretation of the 1st amendment as stated by progtards? What would they say? Foul?

It seems that it is an ironic story of atonement, which captivated the Little Boy's interest although there was no magic involved in it. It just seemed so sad for a boy who was locked up on a tower with nothing to do but to look at the World beneath him, so he tuned in to this one man.
The man in this story is known as Jose. He had two sons, Joseph and Jason, which were generations apart. The first son, Joseph, was born of Jose's first wife. Shortly after giving birth, his wife died and he was left a widower; Joseph was left an orphan. In the lush land of the Philippines, this wouldn't have been such a sad story except that Jose was poor. Because of that poverty and his love for his son, he decided to go abroad, into the land of sands, Arabia, to tend to the black gold that they were abundantly extracting from the earth.
With Jose gone, the baby, his little Joseph was left alone, orphaned, not by Death but by Fortune, and lived a life of sadness and old fashioned love. He was raised by his grandfather. The old man, being old and old fashioned, didn't know how to care for children anymore save for one adage: discipline is love. While Jose was away, when the grandfather would play cards, and with no one to look after little Joseph, he was often left tied up by one ankle to the window grills of the house. There, he would look sourly and jealously at the neighbor's kids, playing and laughing their hearts out in the dirt. Sometimes, unable to help but want to be happy, he would cry out loudly to his grandfather to release him. Sadly, the grandfather had a temper and a slight case of deafness. As a consequence, the old man just ignores the little kid's cries, and if he does notice, he made it known to little Joseph through a very blunt messenger, a quick yet painful tap of a walking stick on the kid's head.
As years go by, little Joseph was old enough to take care of himself and so, the old grandfather decided to die. To little Joseph, this was cause for celebration, not because he got rid of the mean grandfather that tied him up or beat him on the head; the death caused Jose to return home and reunite with his son, who's already 17 years of age.
Meanwhile, within that 17 years of absence, Jose found himself a bride-to-be. As it happened, he was writing with a stately woman back in the Philippines by the name of Elle. Elle, as the youngest of her family, was already considered an old maid since she was now taking care of his aging father. All that kept her going were letters that Jose sent her from Arabia. Yet again, the death of Jose's father brought on another form of happiness. Elle and Jose planned to marry after a year from this death.
The fateful, happy day came. Jose and Elle were married, and it was a joyous occasion for the two of them. After a year, Elle bore a child, Jason, Jose's second first born, Joseph's half-brother. As a baby with a doting and, by this time, wealthy father, Jason received all the luxuries of life. As the first son of a youngest daughter, he was showered with gifts, toys, clothes, love and affection.
At this point, Joseph moved in with his father and step-mother. Surprisingly, this story doesn't have an evil step-mother. Ironically, the father and the first first-born son didn't agree so well, perhaps, because of the miles and years that they were apart. Strikingly, Joseph seemed to have an understanding with Elle. He never really called her "mother" or anything of that sort, but he did show his respect by calling her "Tita," which is what people in the Philippines usually calls their aunt. Joseph never despised his half-brother. In fact, he also treasured him like a real, whole brother. One day, after coming home from an excursion in the mall, he even bought his little brother a toy that sang whenever anyone presses its tummy.
To some people, this looked like a real family. However, as Elle, Joseph, and Jason grew close, Joseph and Jose grew farther from each other. Even if they were now living in the same roof, they were like two peanuts within their separate pods in separate fields in separate corners of the World. It seems that Jose didn't approve of the prolonged absences of his first first-born son. It seems that Joseph was not accustomed to answering to anyone, even to a person whom he should have been calling "father." As years went by, Jose, Elle, and Jason saw less and less of Joseph.
One night, he came home with news to tell. He came home with a woman, the mother of his child. Even though Jose didn't approve and Joseph was not accustomed to authority, they seemed to have come to an understanding. Since everything was all done, there was nothing else to do but to accept this simple section of a slice in the natural course of Life. In fact, this seemed to have reconciled Jose and Joseph. The father talked kindly to his son; the first first-born son learned to say "father."
Nevertheless, it seems that Life or perhaps, Fate was the antagonist of this story. Fate seemed to have caused Joseph to be a responsible young man and provide for his expecting wife. Fate seemed to have caused Jose to be more than a father -- he became a grandfather. With this grandiosity attached to his role and wanting to make up for his neglected son, he sent Joseph some groceries, food for the young family. On the way home to his new house, Joseph was killed.
Based on what the nosy neighbors said, Joseph died on a jeepney. A drug addict was riding with him and shot him dead. As expected, Jose mourned the death of his first first-born son. As usual, a funeral was done in the rain. As usual, life for Jose moved on because in mortal terms, Time heals all wounds.
At this point, the story got boring for the Little Boy. After 4 days of capturing his attention, glimpsing back in Time and focusing on the events that happened on 4 people while fast forwarding took too much of his energy. As he was moving away from his 4-day perch, a question struck him. "What was the meaning of all that? Why was it a story of a father atoning for his sins against his neglected son and a story of a reconciliation cut short?" With no answers to those questions, the Little Boy, Master of the Ivory Tower, started a fit. "Why, why why don't I know the answer?" It inflamed him that he doesn't know the answer; he who has been granted knowledge of everything by the Sun, the Moon, and Heaven does not hold an answer. With this, we will now leave the Little Boy to his rantings on top of the Ivory Tower on the top of the tallest mountain on the top of the world.

No one has s suggested seriously that we outlaw all private gun ownership, although it is years after the Supreme Court in 2008 ruled that individuals have some right to gun ownership.
I will further add that there are crazies and kooks in the pro-gun movement who literally put on their tin-foil hats by preaching fear of something already declared unconstitutional.

"They" can't take your rights. That's one political party of many. Even the Nazi party wouldn't allow that from liberals.

Because you people keep shooting each other.

Because SOME of you keep committing mass atrocities with them. It's like giving out guns to a bunch of lower primates who have the opposable thumb and forefinger to pull the trigger but don't have the brain to know how to restrain themselves from killing innocent people. In other words, SOME of you gunowners are too irresponsible/stupid/crazy to be trusted with dangerous weapons, So maybe you should be going after your gun-owning brethren who are committing these crimes. We notice that after they do these mass shootings you never condemn them. Only the people who want to "take away your guns". Start policing your own membership and then maybe things will change.
Name even ONE mass shooter who was named as an NRA member. I doubt you can do it, or we would have heard it screamed from the rooftops by every media outlet in the country.
