text: FYI: Singapore Gov't launching Commodity trading program - hey, it's policy! S'pore ups drive to be top trading hub, launches tertiary course for traders By Wong Choon Mei, Channel NewsAsia SINGAPORE : Singapore is stepping up efforts to become a top international trading centre. It has launched a trading course at one of its universities to meet demand for specialist dealers, especially in the commodities and energy fields. The programme is supported by government agency IE Singapore and nine private-sector trading firms. Singapore is home to more than 180 top international trading companies. Last year these firms pushed through a total of US$225 billion in physical trade. But a government minister says for the next phase of growth to take place, more infrastructure is needed, beginning with the availability of skilled staff. "The point is that this is an industry that is fast moving, with a lot of growth and employment opportunities. But one of the key restraining factors is the availability of talented traders. By growing a steady pool of quality trading professionals, Singapore will be able to provide the necessary pool of expertise for companies to draw upon, " said Minister of State for Trade & Industry S. Iswaran. The industry currently hires about 1,500 trading professionals. The new trading course will be conducted by the Singapore Management University and it expects to see strong demand for places. Hands-on training at overseas centres will be included in the curriculum. "We have always fixated about screen based trading. But when it comes to trading commodities, it's no longer screen based. So that's the beauty of this whole training programme, it's not screen based. It's to go and see where the flows are," Annie Koh, Associate Dean of SMU. Corporate governance issues will also be emphasised. "My word is my bond is the tradition of trading. A good trader has got to analyse markets, has got to be able to interpret information, to communicate with people, have good communication skills, to understand producers and understand suppliers, to understand the logistics of moving commodities around the world," said Chris Pardey, MD of Noble Resources. Each of the nine sponsor firms have pledged S$30,000 annually over the next three years for scholarships, internships and research. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporebusinessnews/view/218767/1/.html

I am holding a Pampered Chef fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society.
The American Cancer Society is a cause near and dear to my heart. In December 1994, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had just graduated from college in May of that year and was living at home while I had my first job. I clearly remember how sick she was as she underwent her treatments. We were so thrilled when she went into remission after 2 years of treatments.
Then in 2004, her cancer returned. She went into the hospital on December 29th because she was having trouble breathing. They found that her cancer had returned and had spread to her lungs and bones. Within 4 weeks, she was gone. While she was in the hospital, my 4th child, Caelin, was born. I was able to take Caelin to see my mom a few days before my mom passed away. My youngest never got to meet her; none of my girls remember her at all since they were all really young when she passed away.
The American Cancer Society will receive up to 25% of the sales from this fundraiser to use for research and awareness. Please consider purchasing something (no matter how small) to contribute to this cause. Thanks! You can purchase at this link - https://pamperedchef.com/go/HelpTaMaraWhipCancer. Simply click on "Shpp Now."

SOSCuisine at Specialty Food & Gluten Free Expo 2016
Does a fun, tasty, and informative event for people with food allergies or special dietary considerations pique your curiosity? Don't miss the first edition of the Specialty Food & Gluten Free Expo on September 23rd and 24th at Place Bonaventure in Montreal.
It's the perfect opportunity to learn about specialty diets like gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, diets suitable for diabetics, and the low-FODMAP* diet. The SOSCuisine team will be there and will be happy to help you combine the pleasure of eating with your allergies, intolerances and special diets.
SOSCuisine offers personalised meal plans to help people who have allergies, intolerances or have to follow special diets. With the ability to indicate allergies, intolerances and food preferences in your profile, each user can follow a 100% custom meal plan. For example, you can subscribe to the "gluten free" meal plan and customise it to your needs so that it is lactose-free and suitable for children!
In 2015, we introduced our low FODMAP meal plans for people with irritable bowel syndrome. In 2016, we published our first book, The FODMAP solution: Put an end to IBS symptoms and abdominal pain (in French), designed specifically for the 6 million Canadians who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or other digestive disorders. The English edition will come out next January.
In order to promote the use of local produce and grocery deals, each week we track the specials on offer in 90+ supermarket chains in the 10 Canadian provinces. So over the years, we've managed to establish an impressive database of more than 1 million flyer-based prices. This enables us to propose increasingly sophisticated and specific "purchase scenarios" to our subscribers, which in turn help them save a lot every week. In 2015, we added 3 supermarkets to our Flyer Specials Table:
Over the years we have thus made an impressive database of more than 1 million specials. This allows us to offer our subscribers ever more sophisticated and specific grocery lists, which helps them save up to $150/month. This also allows us to better inform the public by sharing our expertise in food planning and expenses.
Our rigorous and effective approach has been hailed by all our partners, whether in the health sector, the field of corporate wellbeing or the media. But what gives us greatest satisfaction is serving the 400,000 families who have subscribed and receiving their wonderful testimonials.
Come Attend our Conference and Meet Us!
- Meet us: 23rd and 24th Septemeber 2016 at Place Bonaventure (from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
- Attend our conference "The FODMAP Solution: Put an end to IBS symptoms and abdominal pain" by Jef L'Ecuyer, Registered Dietitian:
Discover the low FODMAP diet together to better manage or even completely do away with the majority of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome. The conference will explain how to get rid of belly pain, bloating, gas, etc. while having a balanced diet that meets your needs.
Looking forward to meeting you in person and having a chat with you!
Information on events, presenters, and all other parts of the expo is available on their website.
*FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates that are partly responsible for causing symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For more info, read this article.

Manolo Blahnik
Paving the way for the return of refined, feminine style, Manolo Blahnik revived the allure of the stiletto in the 1970s, when platform shoes were at the forefront of fashion. Learning the art of shoemaking by visiting factories and watching pattern cutters and technicians at work, Manolo's designs were picked up by designer Ossie Clark, catapulting him onto the London fashion scene. From iconic appearances in film and television to a whole host of honours from the CFDA and British Fashion Council, core styles such as the brooch-embellished Nadira and Hangisi pumps in jewel-tone brights are joined by complementary clutch bags and considered shoes for men.more

Talk:Relativity effect
"If the theory of relativity would apply, the plasmoid would be fired with the start speed plus ship speed." That's not true. That's using classical mechanics. With relativity, to add two speeds v1 and v2, you'd have to do this:
vcombined = (v1 + v2) / (1 + (v1 * v2) / C2)
where C is the speed of light.
In the game classical mechanics are used, with an cap on the maximum speed (wrt the viewer).
-- SvdB 00:42, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)
- Hey SvdB, are you sure about that. I've being getting empirical data that for projectiles, their speed in the is the same regardless of how fast the ship is going. I did it with the Chenjesu Broodhome and timed how long it took for the crystal projectile to wrap all the way around for the following cases: stationary broodhome, fired forward-broodhome at max speed, fired backwards-broodhome at max speed. But maybe there's more going on in the code than I'm guessing. How exactly does the code determine a projectile's speed? I'd like to figure this out before editing this page.
- Erm, right. It's just for ships. If you add speed to the ship, by pressing forward, or by bumping into an asteroid, the ships behaves as described above. Projectiles (at least the ones for which I've checked the source) get a fixed speed at launch time, which isn't related to the ship's speed.
- — SvdB 16:08, 13 Aug 2005 (CEST)
I tried to rewrite this page to be a bit more accurate. I tried to not go too deep into newtonian physics and relativistic physics, but mentioned them to explain how SC physics relates. It's still real rough so edit at leisure - I'm going to have to let it sit a while before I try to revise it. Fyzixfighter 07:37, 26 Aug 2005 (CEST)
I think this entire page is rather silly. It might be appropriate to discuss the SC combat mechanics somewhere, but all this talk about relativity in real life has no business here, imho. — SvdB 16:27, 25 April 2007 (CEST)
- I agree. The term "Relativity effect" is never used in canon - even more reason not to have a page on this. Perhaps rename it Combat mechanics or Melee mechanics or Melee physics and keep just the final paragraph (the only one that really deals with the game). The only other thing to add would then be the speed limit effect and planet interaction type stuff (gravity and collisions). I think I fleshed out the page with the real world stuff mainly out of annoyance - I hate it when people try to pass off bad physics as the real deal. But I promise not to kick and scream and throw a fit if it's deleted. --Fyzixfighter 02:18, 26 April 2007 (CEST)
- Well, it's been awhile. Any objections if I move (and trim and readjust) this to Combat mechanics? --Fyzixfighter 07:52, 12 May 2007 (CEST)
- Not from me, in fact, I support this. — SvdB 23:02, 2 June 2007 (CEST)

Well hand-waving has its' place too. :-) Also, before you write any code, you should sit down and think hard about how the on-disk database should be structured to be optimal for searching and sorting. We should leverage our essentially unlimited disk space to offset our relative lack of ram and cpu power.

Afghanistan poised for Test status, says head coach
Afghanistan poised for Test status, says head coach
KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan's fast-improving cricket team, which has notched up spectacular wins in recent years, is all poised for Test status, chief coach Lalchand Rajput claimed on Tuesday.
"Afghanistan is ready for Test cricket and our performances have shown it as we are winning consistently after I have taken over as head coach," the Press Tust of India quoted Rajput as saying.
Afghanistan was waiting for the International Cricket Council meeting to be held ular in April, the head coach said. "We are all hopeful that Afghanistan get the Test status as we are ready for it.
"Afghanistan will become a force in Test cricket in the years to come. The way they are progressing, I believe, they will come in the top-six in 2-3 years' time," Rajput remarked.
Rajput, who has been Afghanistan's head coach since June 2016, called his job a life-changing experience. He acknowledged the meteoric rise of the Afghans and their commitment to consistent improvement.

ActiveState have recently released their Stackato PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) which is based on VMware's open-source PaaS, Cloud Foundry, and offers an enterprise PaaS solution that will run on any public cloud, private cloud, laptop or desktop.
In this blog post I'll go through an example, in repeatable steps, of how to get up and running with the Tornado chat demo on ActiveState's public sandbox for Stackato.
- Get An ActiveState Account
- Install The Stackato Client
- Sandbox Terms and Services
- Obtaining Stackato Sandbox Access
- Deploying The Demo Application
- Our App In Action
- Stop The Chatter
- Conclusion
- Resources
Tornado is an event-driven application framework written in Python. It is used by Quora, Summify, Facebook, Friendfeed and my own Cooq.com. Stackato supports a multitude of languages and frameworks, so Tornado could be swapped out with one of the many other demos available, which include PHP, Perl, Ruby, Node.js, Java or Clojure. Although the JVM languages (Java and Clojure) are currently not supported due to their heavy resource requirements. This demo application also uses MongoDB as its backend datastore.
Get An ActiveState Account
Sign up for an ActiveState account
You get the usual verification email to confirm your email address.
Install The Stackato Client
The server software and various virtual machines, which contain the pre-installed server software, is available for download, we do not need them, since here we are using the ActiveState's sandbox for all our server requirements.
Download Stackato Client (v0.18 at time of writing this).
unzip stackato-0.3.13.0.18-macosx10.5-i386-x86_64.zip chmod +x stackato-0.3.13.0.18-macosx10.5-i386-x86_64 mv stackato-0.3.13.0.18-macosx10.5-i386-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/stackato
Note: Be sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH before continuing
Sandbox Terms and Services
I thought I'd include the limitations of what you can do with the Sandbox.
- You can use the Sandbox at no charge for up to 45 days
- It is not for production use
- Applications launched will resolve to a *.sandbox.activestate.com URL
- Account resources is limited to 256Mb application memory, 10Gb disk-space and 50Gb bandwidth
- Maximum of 2 applications (Python, Perl, Ruby, Node.Js, or other languages as supported in the Sandbox)
- Maximum of 2 services which represent a given database, such as MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, or Postgres
You should read the full terms and services for more details.
Obtaining Stackato Sandbox Access
Request access to the Stackato Sandbox from the main Stackato page.
You can find your Sandbox username and password on your ActiveState account page.
Deploying The Demo Application
First inform the stackato client which Stackato installation your will be deploying to. ActiveState's Stackato Sandbox is found at https://api.sandbox.activestate.com, so we run the following command.
$ stackato target https://api.sandbox.activestate.com Successfully targeted to [https://api.sandbox.activestate.com]
Next, login to Stackato using stackato login.
$ stackato login Email: <your email> Password: **************** Successfully logged into [http://api.sandbox.activestate.com]
Checkout the demo applications, from github, locally onto your machine.
$ cd ~/src $ git clone https://github.com/ActiveState/stackato-samples Cloning into stackato-samples... remote: Counting objects: 2353, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1152/1152), done. remote: Total 2353 (delta 1067), reused 2319 (delta 1033) Receiving objects: 100% (2353/2353), 1.05 MiB | 275 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (1067/1067), done.
Choose your demo application by simply cd'ing into that directory…
$ cd stackato-samples/python/tornado-chat-mongo
The first time I ran the deployment I just accepted all the defaults…
$ stackato push tornado-chat Would you like to deploy from the current directory ? [Yn]: Application Deployed URL [tornado-chat.sandbox.activestate.com]: Application Url: tornado-chat.sandbox.activestate.com Detected a Python Application, is this correct ? [Yn]: Memory Reservation [64M]: Creating Application [tornado-chat]: Error 701: The URI: 'tornado-chat.sandbox.activestate.com' has already been taken or reserved
The default domain tornado-chat.sandbox.activestate.com is already taken, so I'll need to come up with another one.
Let's run stackato push tornado-chat again, but this time use a custom sub-domain…
$ stackato push tornado-chat Would you like to deploy from the current directory ? [Yn]: Application Deployed URL [tornado-chat.sandbox.activestate.com]: bigfastblog-chat.sandbox.activestate.com Application Url: bigfastblog-chat.sandbox.activestate.com Detected a Python Application, is this correct ?

Our App In Action
$ stackato apps +--------------+---+---------+------------------------------------------+------------+ | Application | # | Health | URLS | Services | +--------------+---+---------+------------------------------------------+------------+ | tornado-chat | 1 | RUNNING | bigfastblog-chat.sandbox.activestate.com | mongo-chat | +--------------+---+---------+------------------------------------------+------------+
On visiting my custom sub-domian bigfastblog-chat.sandbox.activestate.com, we encounter the Google OAuth login.
Bigfastblog-chat.sandbox.activestate.com is asking for some information from your Google Account
After clicking "Allow", we're taken to the rather basic chat interface that is the Tornado Chat demo.
We are logged in our as Google Accounts user and can start chatting!
Stop The Chatter
We can stop the application, if we intend to restart again.
$ stackato stop tornado-chat $ stackato apps +--------------+---+---------+------------------------------------------+------------+ | Application | # | Health | URLS | Services | +--------------+---+---------+------------------------------------------+------------+ | tornado-chat | 1 | STOPPED | bigfastblog-chat.sandbox.activestate.com | mongo-chat | +--------------+---+---------+------------------------------------------+------------+
Encase you are curious, this is what you've seen when you visit your sub-domain for this app…
VCAP ROUTER: 404 - DESTINATION NOT FOUND No application is currently registered at this URL. If you are the site owner, please make sure that your application is in RUNNING state by running the `stackato stats
` command.
Or we can simply delete it from the Sandbox.
$ stackato delete tornado-chat Provisioned service [mongo-chat] detected would you like to delete it ?: [yN]: y Deleting application [tornado-chat]: OK Deleting service [mongo-chat]: OK $ stackato apps No Applications
The Stackato sandbox gives you a great way to get a small taste of what Stackato is all about. When you graduate past using the sandbox, you will want to look at the "micro-cloud". It's free indefinitely for non-commercial use.

Business Analysis is the follow of enabling change in an organizational context, by defining wants and recommending options that deliver worth to stakeholders. Business process re-engineering is transformative and takes longer, Lean is set up to be iterative the place smaller changes occur sooner. Unfortunately, many people think of enterprise plans only for starting a brand new enterprise or applying for business loans. Part V in the NEXA Advisors series discovered that on a global degree, corporations utilizing business aviation overwhelmingly take high honors in income development, innovation, employee satisfaction, and market share, confirming that enterprise aircraft are a mark of a nicely-managed world company. Ideally, a enterprise major can get a job with just about anything associated of their focus.
When you create precious networking relationships, you build them on a foundation of mutual belief, sharing knowledge, experiences and resources to help each other grow your companies by both referring each other or doing business immediately with each other. BPR differs from different organizational improvement (like Lean and Six Sigma) approaches because it centers on radical change, as opposed to incremental, brief-term enchancment. Business system innovations, then again, concentrate on decreasing costs, and these gains can then, to some extent, be passed on to the customer in the form of decrease costs. Business Analytics consultants work in giant and small firms world wide.
Step 2: More clever data – by creating related and meaningful efficiency indicators as well as qualitative management information linked again to your strategic information wants. In the widest sense it may be outlined as a group of approaches for gathering, storing, analysing and offering access to information that helps customers to realize insights and make better reality-based mostly enterprise choices.

While the majority do go into profit-business ranging from Mom & Pop" to MegaCorp" in their specialized area, a good number go into non-revenue organizations (remember, they need to manage funds and folks as properly!).

Unbeaten former 154-pound world champion Jermall Charlo hosted a media workout Thursday in his hometown of Houston,Texas as he prepares for his WBC Interim Middleweight Title showdown against Hugo Centeno Jr. Saturday, March 3 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The Premier Boxing Champions promoted event will be headlined by WBC heavyweight champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber'' Wilder defending his title against unbeaten contender Luis "The Real King Kong'' Ortiz.
Below is what Charlo and his trainer Ronnie Shields had to say Thursday from Charlo Boxing and Fitness Club in Houston:
"It's going to be a tough fight against Hugo Centeno Jr. If he can stand up to my power, we're going to fight and it'll be a brutal war. If he can't, I'll take him out in the first round.
"We can't let Houston down now. My brother and I have made it this far. We can't stop now. It's my turn to put on a spectacular performance on March 3. I'm trying to one-up my brother's previous performance each time I step in there.
"My goal is to show everybody that I'm the best middleweight in the world. I'm going to keep fighting everyone they put in front of me. I'm going to knock them out one-by-one until Canelo or Golovkin have to face me.
"I've had the chance to work on some improvements to my game since my last fight. I think having even more patience in the ring is going to help step my game up even higher. I want to be a champion at middleweight more than I did at 154-pounds.
"Hugo Centeno Jr. is another fighter who is in my way. I know he'll come in prepared, but I'm confident I'm going to walk out of there with the victory.
"This is going to be a big year for me and my brother. We're going to keep showing everyone why we're so feared."
RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo's Trainer
"Jermall looks great in training camp and we expect him to be at his best come March 3. He's motivated to put on a good show and prove to everyone he's a force in this division.
"Hugo Centeno is a quality fighter. He's well-trained and has length, so Jermall knows he has to be prepared. Centeno isn't going to let him win, Jermall is going to have to go in and impose his will on the man.
"I believe Jermall has the talent and determination to beat any of the top middleweights out there. We're going to keep working every day so that when the time comes for one of those fights with a Golovkin or Canelo, he'll be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity."

This is the fifty-sixth in a series of examinations of comic book urban legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous fifty-five.
Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: The creator of Crime Does Not Pay went to jail for killing a woman
STATUS: True
In the early days of comic books, pretty much any idea was always close to being the next big "thing." Lev Gleason Comics stumbled upon the next big thing when his editors Charlie Biro and Bob Wood came up with an idea - why not do a comic book about real-life criminals?
Gleason quickly allowed them to turn Silver Streak Comics (a standard superhero title) into Crime Does Not Pay with issue #22.
As you might have expected, the comic was a hit, and led to many imitators.
Years later, though, sales in the crime genre were slowing (as most fads are wont to do), and due to the strict new Comics Code installed by the comic publishers, the gore of the standard crime comics were toned down and in fact, even the word CRIME could not be bigger than the other words in the title!! So look at the title of the last issue of Crime Does Not Pay, #147, which limped into oblivion in 1955.
It is a real shame, too, that the comic folded, because soon after, in 1958, one of the creators of the comic himself was involved in a true crime story!
Comic writer/artist Bob Wood was always involved in the somewhat seedier side of New York City, with gambling debts constantly coming up. However, in summer of 1958 (years after the successful Crime franchise he helped created was over), Bob Wood was arrested for killing a woman in a drunken argument.
In his excellent book, The Comic Book Makers (pgs 167-68), Joe Simon describes the events, as laid out in the August 27, 1985 New York Daily News,
A cab driver had picked up Wood in the highly fashionable area of New York's Grammercy Park, near the Irving Hotel. Grammercy Park was known as a bastion of primness where the rich and well-to-do lived among the Victorian archictecure and private gardens of a world shielded off from the rest of the city by tall iron fences.
The disheveled Wood rambled nerbously in the back of the cab, at one point telling the driver, "I'm in terrible troub;. I'm going to get a couple of hours sleep and jump in the river."
"What happened? Did you kill somebody?" the driver asked, jokingly.
"Yes, I killed a woman who was giving me a bad time in Room 91 of the Irving Hotel. Why don't you call someone at a newspaper and make yourself a few dollars?"
There are all kinds of characters in New York City and most cabbies get to meet their share. But Wood's words, cut with urgent anxiety, seemed real, and after the cabbie dropped Wood at the Regina Residence Hotel in Greenwich Villege he drove the cab around the city streets until he found a police officer. The cabbie recounted Wood's story to the officer who in turned reported the cabbie's story to his superior at the East 22nd Street Station.
Police soon entered the Regina hotel where they questioned the manager. The manager told the police that the guy they were looking for had signed in under the name Roger Turner. The guy was shaking so much, said the manager, that he had to hold his hand to steady the pen on the registration card. The officers went upstairs. Wood was found on the bed, stripped to his shorts, the blood-stained suit rumpled on the floor. Wood's clothes were so bloodied, police borrowed a pair of pants from the hotel manager to take Wood in for questioning.
At the same time as Wood was being taken into custody, another team of police had arrived at the Irving Hotel where they used a pass key to enter Room 91. Inside, they discovered empty whisky bottles and the woman's battered body clad in a blood-splattered negligee.
Wood pled guilty to first degree manslaughter and served three years in prison. A year after his release, he was murdered by some former prison acquaintances over unpaid loans.
Pretty amazing, eh?
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Jim Shooter and Dave Cockrum once shared an apartment.
STATUS: True
As seen from this earlier installment of Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed, Dave Cockrum was not exactly a big fan of Jim Shooter's by the time Cockrum left his staff assignment at Marvel Comics.
Therefore, it is amazing to know that only a few years earlier, the two men shared an apartment!!
The interesting fact was discussed in a 2002 interview for TwoMorrow's Legion Companion (Page 73)...
Q. True or False: you and Jim Shooter used to be roommates.
Dave Cockrum: Yes. True.
Q: I find that hard to believe.
Dave Cockrum: (laughs) So do I. My first wife and I broke up, and I had this nice three-bedroom apartment in Queens. Shooter was looking for an apartment, and I said, "Well, I've got one." And he wound up moving in. We lived together for a year, and actually got along pretty good together, most of the time.
Some odd couple THAT was!
Thanks, again, to H from the awesome comic blog Comic Treadmill, for sending me this bit!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Jack Kirby wrote comics under the pseudonym of Martin Burtsein during the 40s.
STATUS: False
In the early days of comics (and even later), the big money was in freelance work. However, freelance work was also very risky, so artists were reasonably worried about losing their salaried staff positions. So when they did freelance work, they often used pseudonyms. This is where the very name Jack Kirby originated.
The sheer amount of pseudonyms ended up with artists and writers who did not do a lot of work to be considered to be pseudonyms.
One such creator was Martin Burnstein, who folks thought was a Jack Kirby pseudonym for years (In his History of Comics, Jim Steranko even credited Burnstein as a Kirby pseudonym!).
Burnstein was, in fact, a friend of Joe Simon's from growing up, who made contact with Simon in the early 40s and did some work for Timely (including a story in the comic below).
Burnstein went on to work in public relations and politics, working alongside the Republican Party as they attempted to woo the Jewish vote in the 60s. In fact, years later, Burnstein would return the favor from Simon giving him some work by hiring Simon to work on a number of comics for the Republican party!
Weird, eh?

Well, that's it for this week, thanks for stopping by!
Feel free to drop off any urban legends you'd like to see featured!!


text: Marist College is a comprehensive college with a liberal arts tradition located "on the Hudson River" that is gaining a national reputation. The students enjoy the "small class sizes" and being 90 minutes from New York City," providing plenty of opportunities for internships, jobs, and excursions to the greatest city in the world. Students also boast about the "excellent alumni network" and "very strong study abroad program." "Marist just feels like home the moment you pull on to campus," one student says. "You can receive a great education here along with the beautiful view it offers," a Business Administration major explains. "Marist is about opportunity" and the school provides an "enriching community with a variety of clubs, courses, and activities for all students to enjoy." "Marist revolves around progressively learning to obtain jobs for the immediate future" and students graduate "prepared for the workplace." An example of this is the Computer Science program that offers the opportunity for "joint study with IBM." "The partnership with IBM has allowed our school to work side by side with some of the biggest leaders in the technology industry," one student explains. The Fashion Program is also very strong and popular with students. The staff of "incredibly knowledgeable and engaging" professors are "very hands on." "Classes are capped at about twentyfive students," and "most professors are willing to work one-on-one with you to ensure you will progress academically." "Professors generally demonstrate enthusiasm for material, with a soundly deliberate approach to relaying it to students," a Computer Science major clarifies. The faculty really "care about students" and "encourage students to go see them if you are falling behind or have any personal issues." "We are go-getters and a growing college," one happy student says while another sums up Marist thusly: "Marist College is the complete package—academics and extracurricular keep me busy and having fun."

One critical Windows patch coming
After a hefty patch load in October, Microsoft is planning for only one security fix this month.
Microsoft will release one critical security update for Windows Tuesday, a breeze compared to the nine bulletins it unloaded last month -- three of which fixed critical flaws in its streaming media software architecture, Internet Explorer and other key operating-system components.
The question is whether this update will cause unexpected problems like those users experienced after the August and October patch releases.
In addition to the single update for Windows, Microsoft said on its TechNet site that its malicious software removal tool will be updated but that no non-security, high-priority updates are scheduled. The Windows update will require a restart and will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA), the company added.
As it does each month, Microsoft warned, "Although we do not anticipate any changes, the number of bulletins, products affected, restart information and severities are subject to change until released."
The single bulletin will likely come as a relief to IT administrators who had to contend with unexpected glitches caused by the last two patch releases.
Microsoft acknowledged in two new advisories Wednesday that two recent security updates for Internet Explorer can break the functionality of Web sites that use certain custom applications. The problematic patches were delivered in the August MS05-038 bulletin and last month's MS05-052.
Both fixes could tamper with ActiveX controls used to boost Web site functionality. The MS05-038 patch can also break Java applications. Once the patches are installed, certain custom applications will cease to function in Internet Explorer, the software giant said. Microsoft has had to fix other glitches in recent patches.
The company found that MS05-051, for example, blocked users from logging on to Windows, blocked certain applications from running or installing; kept the Windows firewall from starting; and emptied the network connections folder.

2. THIS FRIDAY I'LL NEED YOU TO COME BACK HERE TO THIS BLOG AND MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT DAY'S POST. I've mentioned it briefly before, but I have the honor of working with the United Nations Foundation on their Shot@Life Campaign. Essentially, it's a blog relay with the clever title of Blogust; each day the 'baton' is passed from one blogger to another, and Friday is my day. For every comment made on my post on Friday, $20 will be donated to the Shot@Life Campaign, and it just so happens that $20 is exactly the cost of 4 life-saving vaccinations for a child who wouldn't otherwise have access to them. Just so you know, if you happen to follow me, social-media-wise: I'll be promoting this like crazy, and I thank you for your support in helping me promote this. I invite you to visit the Shot@Life page to learn more.
3. Who's got two thumbs and will be singing the National Anthem at Saturday's Orem Owlz game? This guy.

Kathy Carder completes AIDS Walk L.A.
By Fleet Capt. Dave Mason
LOS ANGELES — Kathy Carder went the distance to make a difference.
She represented the USS Angeles in a solo mission Oct. 15 as she walked more than 6 miles during AIDS Walk Los Angeles. Well done, Kathy!
At the last minute, Paul Szymborski, Jay Gerber and I discovered we couldn't go to the 10-kilometer walk. But that didn't affect our fundraising. Paul, Jay, Kathy and I raised more than $750 for APLA Health, a nonprofit that helps AIDS and HIV-positive patients.
You can still donate.

He is RISEN! Hallelujah! Jesus has risen from the dead!

God bless!
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing alright… and so am I!
Sorry, I just can't help myself. Easter is my favorite day of the whole year. I can't contain it! I have to SING about it!
A few years ago I attempted to do a music series for Easter and quickly realized that it is impossible. There are just too many songs out there! Songs about the gospel of Easter, songs about Holy Week leading up to it, songs about the blood and the healing and redemption that it brings, and glorious songs about the resurrection and grace. Think about it… the list never ends!
Since then I have compiled a list of songs that pertain to this special time of year. Some are songs we sing all year. Some are saved especially for this Holy Day.
So I'm going to share it here with all of you as well… but can you do me a favor? If you know of an Easter Song that has not made the list, can you let me know? Thank you!
(And yes, we added the Veggietales Bunny Song. We couldn't contain ourselves…)
Have you subscribed to our YouTube channel yet? Every week we add playlists of our favorite worship songs from the Women On The Warpath Facebook Battalion. Want to enlist in the Battalion? We'd love for you to join us!
Thursday already? Easter Sunday is quickly approaching! No, we still haven't made plans for the day other than church. It's been an unexpectedly busy week.
As I sat down to write this last night, I found out that my oldest daughter was taken to the ER and admitted for appendicitis. Thank God her appendix did not rupture! Not being able to be with her is… I actually can't find the words to describe it. It hurts! But I know that God is in control, and thanks to the precious blood of Jesus she can have a fast recovery.
So it kinda took me a couple of hours to get myself calmed down and start typing. All I can think of is how thankful I am that the Lord keeps His hand on my family. We've had one big blow after the other this week, but I know that God will see us through. I know He will do the same for you as well.
He is more than worthy of our praise!
Here are the links to catch up with days 1-3 if you would like to do so:
31: Seas of Crimson – Brian Johnson
32: Shout It Out – Vertical Church Band
33: Happy Day – Jesus Culture
LOVE this song!
34: It Was Finished – Bryan & Katie Torwalt
35: Scandal of Grace – Hillsong UNITED
36: The Anthem – Planetshakers
37: Christ Is Risen – Matt Maher
38: Worthy Is The Lamb – Hillsong
39: We Believe – Newsboys
40: Forever – Kari Jobe
Need to catch up? No problem!
Here we are, already on day 3. I'm ready for that revival we talked about yesterday. Are you? Keep praying!
So many emotions come with the remembrance of Christ's death and resurrection. Feelings of sorrow but also of excitement. Let us never forget the price that was paid for us on that cross. He bore it all, just so we would not have to suffer.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities;The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,And by His stripes we are healed.Isaiah 53:5 NKJV
22: Still Believe – Kim Walker-Smith
One of my favorites…
23: Unworthy of The Blood – Martha Borg
This was a hard song to track down! My Dad has been singing it in church for years. Love it!
24: Lead Me To The Cross – Hillsongs
25: Were You There – Selah featuring Russ Taff
There are many versions of this old song. But I love anything by Russ Taff, so this is the one I went with.
26: Carry My Cross – Third Day
27: Secret Ambition – Michael W. Smith
Anyone remember this one? I used to play this over and over on a cassette tape where I recorded it off the radio… Until I dubbed it on to another tape to play 3 times in a row. Still love it.
28: O The Blood – Gateway Worship
29: Victor's Crown – Darlene Zschech, Israel Houghton, Kari Jobe
30: Beautiful Rider – Jake Hamilton & The Sound
Well, that's it until tomorrow.
God bless!
Day 2 has arrived! Are you getting excited for Easter Sunday? C'mon, now!
I don't know about you, but I'm praying that this Sunday sparks a REVIVAL for the church as a whole. We sure need it, don't we?
Maybe some music will help… 😉 Let's do this!
Lord, let our remembrance of your death and resurrection, through which we have been given salvation, begin a revival in our hearts and in our churches. Let us all return back to you, our first Love. In your mighty name we pray! Amen!
Picking up where we left off yesterday… (You can see Songs To Get Your Soul AMPED Up For Easter (Day 1: Songs 1-10) by clicking here.)
11: Easter Song – Keith Green
Keith Green was one of those ministers that has continued to minister even decades after his death. His testimony, songs, sermons, and writings are still relevant today. If you want to be inspired and motivated to reach the lost and make a difference, I highly suggest looking up more information on Keith Green, his wife Melody Green, and Last Days Ministries.
But yeah, you can't have Easter without Easter Song. I mean, self-explanatory.
12: Alive – Kim Walker-Smith
"It may get loud, the grave is empty now! It may get wild, His love is like no other!"
13: I Will Rise – Chris Tomlin
14: Jesus is Alive – Ron Kenoly
15: Celebrate Jesus – Carman, Commissioned, & The Christ Church Choir
16: This Is Amazing Grace – Phil Wickham
17: East to West – Casting Crowns
I'll never forget the first time I ever heard this song. I was a few months pregnant with Tommy (so nearly 8 years ago) and had parked at a Long John Silver's because I was really craving fish for some reason. The DJ announced that Casting Crowns had just released an awesome song and to listen closely to the words. I had only repented a few weeks before, and was still dealing with a lot of guilt. I was sure that the things I had done would never be fully forgotten by anyone, including God. I was supposed to go to church a few hours later, but was so close to chickening out because I felt unforgivable. Cue this song… My fish was cold by the time I was done crying… and I went to church. Thank you, Lord, for Your grace and mercy!
18: Revelation Song – Kari Jobe
I have a story about this song, but I'm going to save it for another day… (I actually always have a story about every song. I'm one of those people…)
19: In Christ Alone – Mercy Me
Another one that has obviously been sung by many people, but this is the version I chose for this post.
20: Had It Not Been – Gaither Reunion (Featuring Michael English, Mark Lowry, & Terry Franklin)
Whew! That's it for today… Be sure to come back tomorrow! Oh yeah, there's more. A LOT more!
Keep praying for that revival. It starts with each and every one of us.
Are you looking for some fun DIY decor ideas for this weekend? A few years ago Stephanie shared these fun projects over on her blog, Crayon Marks and Tiger Stripes, for Jesus Eggs and a Cross Button Frame. So cute! Click the links below to find out more.
Can you believe we are at the end of March already? It sure doesn't seem possible!
Like I mentioned on Friday, Resurrection Day (Easter) is more and more becoming my favorite day of the year. In the same way that I love to listen to Christmas music in December, I love to listen to songs about what Jesus did for you and me in the Spring. Well, all year actually. But you know what I mean. During this time of year, I can't get enough of these pieces.
Emily and a few other people in my life helped me put together a list of some of our favorite songs to celebrate and remember what Christ has done for us. This week I will share a few of them with you each day. I know that I may very well be the only one who ever goes through each of these songs, and that's okay. 😉
I was going to organize them by style and all that, but decided in the end to just throw them up randomly. Enjoy!
1: For The Cross – Bethel Worship
2: I Am He – Terry Talbot
3: Oh Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me…)
There are 2 versions of this song. Actually, 3, since both songs are based on an older hymn, but we're going to go with the 2 newer ones. There is the upbeat Gospel style of Donnie McClurkin that many of us grew up hearing in the 90's. Then there is the softer version by Casting Crowns that came out a few years ago. So today, for 1 song, you get a two-fer!
4: He's Alive – Don Francisco
5: See His Love – Jesus Culture
6: Nothing But The Blood of Jesus – Traditional Hymn
This version is by Jars of Clay.
7: I've Just Seen Jesus – Larnelle Harris & Sandi Patty
8: By His Wounds – Mac Powell & Friends
9: I Believe He Died For Me – Charles Johnson & The Revivers
Emily wrote a post about this song a few years ago. You can read that by clicking here.
10: Amen – Larnelle Harris
I'm not quite sure who sang this song first, but I grew up hearing it every Easter and absolutely love it. Larnelle Harris makes another appearance on our list, because wow, he hits those notes!
Are you ready for Easter?
I am!
Well, not actually. I haven't even thought about plans for the day other than church, and we usually host dinner for our family at our house. Other details have not been worked out either. But hey, would anyone expect any different from me? Not likely.
I am ready for Easter in the spiritual sense, though. For years Christmas was my favorite holiday, but in the last few years Easter has become the frontrunner in the favorite of all days of the year. Christmas celebrates Jesus coming to earth, but Easter is when we celebrate Him overcoming death, hell, and the grave when He became the ultimate sacrifice for all of our sins and on the 3rd day resurrected from the dead. He did it all just for us. He is Risen!!!
Nothing excites me more than knowing my Savior paid my complete debt… especially when I am far from worthy.
I decided to make a simple little printable based on Luke 24:5-7.
Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' "
Isn't it wonderful? Couldn't you just shout? He is risen! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus!
I want to share this joy with everyone! So I'm sharing this free printable as an Easter gift for each of you.
We've been busy in the Schott home preparing for Easter and doing some fun activities! This year our main focus has been on Holy Week and the spiritual reasons for the holiday. Sure, we've done some Springy things and there has been talk of dyeing eggs this weekend and the Easter Bunny possibly making an appearance and dropping off some Easter Baskets, but our main focus has been Jesus.
It's not that we're holier than thou or think it's wrong for others to do differently. It's just what we feel lead to make it clear to our children, specifically Tommy, that God sent his son Jesus to earth to die for our sins and rose again that we might enter Heaven with Him. Tommy just turned 5, and we feel it's time that he learn to grasp this a bit more.
A little back story to lead up to where we are at this year. Last year I bought a set of Resurrection Eggs and a copy of Benjamin's Box. I thought then that Tommy would be all over it. I had these visions of rays of light coming in through the shutters, the light bulb turning on in Tommy's head, and him suddenly understanding the concept of everything involving the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
I quickly gave up on it, put it away until this year, and pulled it all out a few days ago. NOW we're getting somewhere…
Tommy has not only caught on to the story and what all Christ has done for us, but has actually showed such empathy that I did not expect. We've had to stop the telling of the story a few times so he could pull himself together and stop crying. Which made me cry. Which meant we sat there holding each other crying, praying, and having a "moment" that I will cherish forever. I can't imagine how much it will affect him when he's older and understands more as I kept it all very basic. Thankfully, we have gotten to the point in the eggs that now we will start focusing on the Resurrection more and more the next few days which will make him VERY happy.
As for Molly and Johnny Ben, well… They liked the eggs and listened along, but they had their own agenda. And that was okay…
I've listed below some other activities we are doing this week. The printables are all ones we did last year. YAY for laminating! I've only had to print a few sheets this year as I saved everything in a file folder and ziploc bag. (Sometimes it pays to be a pack rat…)

8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'
Hosanna in the highest!"
10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?"
11 So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."
Matthew 21:8-11 NKJV
Today most of us are celebrating Palm Sunday, the day we remember when Jesus rode on a donkey into the city of Jerusalem. As mentioned in the Bible, the people of the city flocked to see Jesus, this man they had heard about riding on a donkey as royalty would, exclaiming "Hosanna!" and laying down palms in His path. The believed in Him, had faith in Him, and wanted to follow Him.
Not much time passes though before they turn on Him. All because others had. Like a chain reaction, they embrace the mob mentality and trade in those hosannas for "Crucify!" and want nothing more to see Him die a bloody death. All in what I can only assume was for their entertainment. (Step out of the prophecies foretold for a minute and think back to their society…) Why would each of those hearts turn on Him? Because one person told another person, gossip spreading like wildfire, that this was not the Son of God after all and was full of blasphemy? Did anyone care to think for themselves? They lost all inhibition and adopted the feelings of the one next to them, forgetting that the week before they loved Jesus.
Sounds a little too familiar to our present day, does it not?
Easter comes and goes so quickly, never getting the true attention it deserves. Not to cut Christmas short, but in my opinion, Easter serves much more emphasis on the Christian walk than Christmas. Jesus didn't have to die for our sin, coming back 3 days later from the dead, all so each of us could have a place in Heaven if we believe in Him. Sure, His birth has great meaning, but to me His sacrifice means so much more! Add in all the secular tidbits of the holiday and it's really easy to discount what we are really celebrating, leaving it all behind the next day.
I don't want to be like those that were in the city that day. My desire is to serve Jesus and love Him on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and every other day! My heart sings "Hosanna!" over and over, and I never want my praise to end. No one could ever tell me anything to change my belief in Him. Not the media, not a friend, no one.
Now I want to ask you: Next Monday, when Easter is over, when the eggs are eaten and the fake grass has been cut out of your vacuum, what will you be saying? Will your heart still exclaim "Hosanna! He is the King of Kings! He reigns in my heart! Praise God, He is RISEN!" as it does today on Palm Sunday? I'm praying that it does.
My prayer for you and I is to never forget and fall into going through the motions of every day life, failing to daily praise God for sending His only son as a gift to us. May we never forget Christ's love for us. Thank you, Lord, for everything.

First-ever Marinated Chicken Successfully Cooked in Space, Noshed on Earth
Soy Vay Takes Teriyaki to New Heights with A Pollo '13 Mission Launch in Nashville
Oct 12, 2013, 09:14 ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Soy Vay®, a premium line of preservative-free, kosher marinades, today confirmed that it has boldly cooked chicken where no teriyaki had gone before: the stratosphere. History was made at 12:07 pm CDT when chicken marinated in the sauce was confirmed to have successfully returned to Earth after it was launched to 104,572 feet and slow-cooked in space.
The mission's success was made possible with the help of a team of physicists and (real) rocket scientists who partnered with Soy Vay to design the A Pollo '13 capsule and hone its space cooker technology. Made of polystyrene foam and sculpted to resemble a bottle of Soy Vay, the A Pollo '13 capsule was developed to insulate the cooking process from the sub-zero temperatures of the upper atmosphere. Inside, one pound of organic, free range chicken breast marinated in Soy Vay Veri Veri® Teriyaki sauce was vacuum-sealed in plastic and suspended in a water bath. A chemical reaction initiated just prior to the 10:08 am CDT launch heated the water surrounding the chicken, which slowly cooked the meat to 155 degrees F over the course of the 1 hour, 59 minute space voyage.
"The sweet and savory flavors in Soy Vay marinades make it easy for cooks of any level of experience to deliver awesome, out-of-this-world dishes, here on Earth," said Soy Vay marketing manager Tad Kittredge. "We realized that the only reasonable way to take teriyaki to the next level would be to cook it outside the kitchen, far beyond the grill, and among the stars – so we found a way to do it!"
To avoid disturbing the gentle cooking process with the intense vibrations of a rocket launch, the A Pollo '13 capsule was tenderly carried into the stratosphere, by a weather balloon. When the balloon burst, due to the lowered atmospheric pressure, a parachute opened, slowing the space-cooked chicken's fall to Earth. Upon landing, it was located by a team of Soy Vay chicken chasers, promptly sampled and declared to be undeniably delicious.
Space chicken enthusiasts near and far convened at Cumberland Park in Nashville to witness the A Pollo '13 launch. They enjoyed less adventurously prepared, but similarly delicious, bites of Soy Vay marinated chicken, served hot off the grill.

CONCORD — Most bills filed this year seeking to improve the state retirement system already have died a quick death in the House.
But two filed by State Rep. Neal Kurk, R-Weare, are still alive, and he says they could yield healthy long-term dividends for state coffers if they are passed into law.
Kurk's House Bill 1530 would ensure base pay is used to calculate retirement benefits, preventing workers from "padding" salaries.
He said there have been many instances over the years in which state, municipal, county and school employees padded their base salaries by, as they were nearing retirement, using pay from special details, overtime, and compensation for unused vacation, sick or personal time they were allotted, increasing the amount they earned. The full amount then would be used to calculate pensions, potentially greatly increasing retirement payments for life.
Under Kurk's proposed bill, retirement benefits would be calculated only on a public employee's highest level of base salary at the time they retired, Kurk said.
Besides what he believes could amount to significant long-term savings for the state system, Kurk said his bill would also restore the public's faith that public servants are not being overcompensated.
"We set up the pension system so people could have enough to live on after retirement," he said, "not to let someone have the same amount of pay when they retired."
Under the current system, he said, some public employees are walking away with 80, 90 or even 110 percent of their base salaries when they began collecting monthly pension benefits.
"That is not good public policy," said Kurk, a member of the House Finance Committee.
He also filed HB1682, which would require the state retirement system to use a 50-year period for averaging retirement system earnings and assets in preparing its biennial valuation. That valuation is used to determine annual contribution rates required of employers, including cities and towns.
Currently, Kurk said, the system requires actuarial firms to review the rates every five years to determine if the contributions being made by cities, towns, counties, school districts and state employers are sufficient to support the benefits.
By extending the actuarial period well beyond the five-year cycle, the system would have a more stable rate structure, Kurk said.
Cities and towns that currently are looking at sharp rate increases beginning in July 2011 and 2012 would not end up being forced to make such high payments, he said.
Whether in prosperous or lean economic times, he said, a 50-year valuation window would not decrease or increase contribution rates that much. It would also allow the state to avoid severe shortages in retirement system funds in the future.
The overall health of the state retirement system remains a key issue for lawmakers this year.
According to the retirement system's annual financial report, which is posted online at nhrs.org, the system's funded ratio of the pension plan stood at 58.3 percent in 2009, down from 67.8 percent in 2008. An independent auditor's report filed by Boston-based KPMG LLP in December showed the system's net assets decreased by $1.135 million from the prior year, and net investment income declined by $995.2 million in 2009.
Meanwhile, employer contribution rates in fiscal year 2009 increased to $261.5 million, 4.6 percent higher than 2008. Benefits paid during fiscal year 2009 were $510 million, 14.6 percent higher than benefits paid in 2008.
Ken Alberts of Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company, the retirement system's actuarial firm, told the system's board of directors in November that employer rates would have to be increased by 11.4 to 31.1 percent in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 to make up an 18 percent decline in investment revenue.
More than 51,000 state employees, firefighters, police officers and teachers are retirement system members. About 24,000 retirees receive monthly pension benefits.
Two other pieces of legislation that deal with the retirement system are being retained by the House Executive Departments and Administration Committee.
One, HB1681, sponsored by Rep. Charles Weed, D-Keene, would allow education support personnel to participate in the system. It would also force school districts to pay for state retirement benefits for those employees.
The other, HB1428, sponsored by Rep. Patricia McMahon, D-North Sutton, would ensure surviving spouses of deceased state employees would continue to receive pension and health insurance benefits.
Several House bills pertaining to the retirement system already have been killed.
For example, Rep. Ken Hawkins, R-Bedford, sponsored HB401, which would have reduced the system's board of directors from 14 to eight members, all appointed by the governor and Executive Council.
Hawkins said the House Executive Departments and Administration Committee killed his bill last year, but he brought it back again this year, when it was killed again.
He said the current board is too political because eight of its members represent Group I and Group II employees and are appointed by state employee unions that represent firefighters, police officers and teachers. He said the possibility exists that every member on the board also could be a retirement system member.
He said he believes the state would be better served if the governor and Executive Council were able to appoint people with strong investment and financial expertise.
Although his bill has been killed twice, he said he is glad he has been able to bring it back.
"At least we're trying to get people to understand what's going on," he said.
Other bills that met a quick death in the House included HB617, sponsored by Rep. Jill Hammond, D-Peterborough, which would have let small businesses and nonprofit groups join the retirement system. It was killed in 2009 and again this year.
HB673, sponsored by Rep. Candace Bouchard, D-Concord, would have let cities, towns and counties withdraw from the state retirement system or withdraw a portion of their public employees, such as new hires. That bill was also killed in the House.
Barbara Reid, who serves as the government finance adviser for the New Hampshire Municipal Association, said her group testified in favor of this bill in 2009 because it would give members flexibility to decide what level of benefits they wanted to offer employees.
She said it would only affect new hires, not any public employee who was already in the system and vested.
Bills target state retirement system costs

The project is frozen until a new order.
The E1000-1 is everything a commander needs when the situation reaches the point where the use of force is the only element of negotiation. Use the best available technology, applying the experience gained in the hardest test bank that exists, the real battlefield.
The E-1000-1 is a multipurpose ionic blaster, which makes it ideal as an assault weapon, combining the possibility of using it as a long distance rifle, being a force multiplier in the battlefield.
The studied placement of its components makes its use as a two-handed weapon very ergonomic and comfortable. Being able to handle with both hands indistinctly. Despite the short head, the arrangement of their internal elements, moving the center of balance towards the handle, allows the possible E1000-1 operated with one hand.
It has a polienergon internal fuel cell, connected to the energy collector for tripping. This arrangement allows that when the available energy in the collector is exhausted, it can be fully recharged in less than 600 picoclicks.
The new integrated security system means that when the user releases the E1000-1, the safe mode is activated. As soon as it is grasped again, it returns to active mode, ready for use. This system extends the duration of the fuel cell by 63%.

Dear Beautiful Souls!
Here is the December 16th Energy Report©.
We're entering a releasement shift of letting go of that which is no longer serving our higher purpose. You will feel this physically in the neck, back and sacral chakras. If you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world, it rests on your shoulders. You may notice some knots forming in the shoulder area and back pain. This indicates releasing is necessary. We're not meant to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. We're just meant to be our authentic selves and shine our Light. You cannot save everyone, you can only propel yourself further on your own spiritually guided path. In doing so you lift others out of their darkness to do the same.
This shift includes communication and speaking your mind from the heart center to aide you in this releasement work. Remember to stay heart centered and balanced, and remain grounded as this shift will begin to escalate through this month, peaking on December 25th. Staying grounded is a key component for not only the health of your mind, body and spirit, but to also help you feel secure, literally grounded, and fearless in this releasement work. New beginnings are around the corner come January 2016, release now all that is not serving your current path and destiny.
Some Links To Help Guide You Through Your Releasement Work Are On The Following Links:

Yes I had a can of multiuse cement in the shop! Since it is directly above a new Sheetrock ceiling I am concerned about leaks. Does anyone have experience with a situation like this? Any way to get the joint apart or cut the PVC pipe out and try again?

|Ambiguous Term? This article is about the the Dark Eldar. For other uses of Grotesque, see Grotesque (disambiguation).
Grotesques are hulking monsters of muscle and bone created by Dark Eldar Haemonculi. One Haemonculi Coven, the Children of Bone, are known for creating exceptionally large grotesques.
Unlike the Wracks, none join the ranks of the grotesques voluntarily.
Grotesques are often created from prisoners of the Haemonculi. The process of becoming a grotesque is extremely long and painful. The victim is injected with growth elixirs, macrosteroids, and muscle stimulants. The victim's bonegrowth is driven into hyperactivity by the injection of osseovirals, resulting in external spines sprouting from the victim.
Near the end of the process, perhaps many years later, the hands of the poor victim are replaced with metal claws or dripping tubes that can eject sprays of blood-ichor. At this stage of the transformation, grotesques are mostly lobotomised and so will mindlessly obey their Haemonculus master. Last of all, the victim's horrifying face is covered with a mask of black iron.
Some grotesques, perhaps the most ferocious of them, known as Aberrations, are granted by the Haemonculi some far more deadly weapons than their claws. These weapons are usually gauntlets or other integrated weaponry, as grotesques are likely not intelligent enough to truly wield weapons.
In war grotesques are generally used as linebreakers. They are usually sent to frontline of an attack force, as they will kill relentlessly until commanded otherwise. Grotesques are also reported to sometimes fight amongst themselves. Likely, the various steroids and stimulants flowing through their bodies are what send them into these berserk rampages. A grotesque that has killed its fellows usually dies, though whether at the hand of its Kabalite or Wych allies, or some other reason altogether is unknown.[1]
3rd Edition
In Codex: Dark Eldar (3rd Edition), grotesques were more similar to wracks than in their other appearances. This leads to a common confusion of canon. Grotesques should be considered as described above, however, not as they appeared in 3rd Edition.[2]
