Mission Creek
(This article was written by Mrs. Alfred Eastwood years ago. The title used here was not with the original story.)
Early History of Mission Creek
For nearly two decades during the 1870*s and 1880*s there was a settlement known as Mission Creek in the southwest corner of Pawnee County. The name came from the creek which had been so designated by the early settlers because of a Presbyterian mission for the Indians near the stream south of the state line.
Besides being near the creek and close to a never-failing spring, the settlement was on a trail that led west from Pawnee City for several miles before angling southwest toward Marysville and the crossing of the Big Blue. Another trail from St. Joseph to Beatrice crossed the Pawnee CityMarysville trail on what is known locally as the Miller Farm on Section 29.
Settlers had come into the area soon after Nebraska became a territory. The first recorded land filing was by a man named Bartholomew who chose the quarter where J. b. Barr now lives. He filed in 1856, the year that Pawnee County was laid off in sections. In 1857 bavid Neal and Henry Musfeldt filed on land in section 21. The first settler to make a permanent home in the community was George Tanner who built a cabin in 1859 on the quarter south of the Mission Creek Church. He and his family lived there until 1873. Abe Manley came to the precinct in 1866, Thomas Clark and John Bowhay came in 1867 and Perry Miller in 1870. After that the land was taken up very rapidly.
Before there was the beginning of a town there was a cemetery. The first death in the community was that of Jacob Tanner, the father of George. Since there was no burial ground, George gave an acre of his farm to be used for that purpose. From the old stones it is known that several graves in the plot date from the early 1870*s. After that period, burials were in the present Mission Creek Cemetery, the land for which was deeded to the local cemetery association by Abe Manley. Interested persons continue to maintain the cemetery association and care for the cemetery.
In 1870 W. J. Halderman opened a store on Section 22 at the corner east of the Mission Creek Church. The building was constructed and owned by Mr. Carothers who owned all of Section 21. Later the store was operated by
M. K. Walker. Utter*s Harness Shop was on the second floor of the store. Miss Nellie Kinkade had a millinery shop across the road. There was a blacksmith shop and several houses in the cluster of buildings.
On the corner one mile west of Holderman*s was another store built on land leased by Christian Rees to the Grange. It was known as the Grange or "stone" store. The hall above the store was used for public gatherings such as oyster suppers and parties. The store was also a polling place. For a good many years it was operated by Perry Miller and baniel Swarthout. On the same corner was a drug store, another blacksmith shop and five dwellings. There was usually at least one doctor in the community, sometimes one at each corner of the settlement. Over the years the post office was sometimes in one store, sometimes the other depending upon changes in political power. At first Mission Creek was served by a mail route from Pawnee City to Marysville. After there was a railroad through Liberty the delivery came from that point.
The Mission Creek United Presbyterian Church was organized in 1872 and a building completed the following year. It was on land donated by Mr. Carothers a short distance west of Halderman*s store. Later he gave additional land for a parsonage beside the church.
By the 1880*s all available land in the locality had been taken. Many quarters had been divided into 80 acre farms. Families were living on all of these and some farms had only 40 acres. This brought considerable business to the Mission Creek stores. Many travelers stopped, too, during the peak years of the westward migration. About 1882 someone counted 30 wagons that traveled west past the church corner in a single day.
In the early 1870*s a survey for a proposed railroad was made. Since both Mission Creek settlements were to be on the line, enthusiastic boosters in the community predicted a town a mile long would be built along the new railroad. The corner where the stone store stood was surveyed and laid out in town lots.
Across the road there was a fairgrounds where fairs were held from 1876 to 1880. This was considered by local residents to be the Pawnee County Fair. The one at Mission Creek was discontinued after 1880 as that was the first year a fair was held in Pawnee City. According to records of the 1879 fair, county entries for the Nebraska State Fair were selected from exhibits at Mission Creek. Indians had won the pony race, there was a traveling photograph gallery on the grounds, a local boy had demonstrated an improvement for a butter churn, and tombstone salesman who had shown a sample of his wares made several sales.
By the mid-1880*s it became evident there would be no railroad through Mission Creek but the town hung on until 1888-1889 when the Northwestern Railroad built a line two miles from Mission Creek. Within a short time
several buildings, including Halderman*s Store, were moved to the new town of Bookwalter which sprang up along the railroad. Other buildings were moved to scattered locations. For several years mail was delivered to the Mission Creek Postoff ice which was in the home of Thomas Griggs. After that was discontinued there was nothing left on the one corner but the church, the parsonage, and a farmhouse. At the other corner the stone store was eventually razed. The floral hall on the fairgrounds was remodeled into a barn which stands as the only reminder of the heyday of Mission Creek

Should VMware add Novell's virtualization management tools?
As speculation swirls around a possible deal for Novell's SUSE Linux operating system, virtualization experts are also eyeing Novell's PlateSpin virtualization management tools.
VMware's customers say that the server virtualization vendor still lags third-party specialists in virtualization management. And though uncertainty about the rumored Novell merger continues to reign, some parts of Novell's management portfolio could bolster VMware's.
Initial reports on Novell's ongoing liquidation sale held that the process would happen in two phases: one deal with a "strategic buyer"-- reportedly VMware Inc. -- for the SUSE Linux OS business, with the rest, including its NetWare and IT management software product lines, going to another buyer. Now, Reuters reports that talks have stalled and quotes a source describing Novell's management tools as "a dying cow." But at least in some corners, Novell's virtualization management tools are the most intriguing part of the acquisition rumors.
Novell management standouts
One of Novell's important management products is SUSE Studio. It could be a promising prospect to slot into VMware's existing product line, according to independent consultant Andrew Storrs. "SUSE Studio is really the premier application people use to create virtual appliances," Storrs said. "It could get a lot more use going forward with VMware's branding behind it."
SUSE Studio is popular in smaller disaster recovery environments for creating standardized virtual appliances that can be ported between private and public cloud environments. And because it is based on Java, it could tie in with VMware's vFabric application development efforts.
Identity management is another piece of Novell intellectual property that might fit into the VMware ecosystem. Novell's Identity Manager federates identity management across multiple access control applications and locations, and could be tied into VMware's new private cloud infrastructure offering, vCloud Director, which currently relies on partners for this functionality. (This also led to speculation that VMware would acquire its current partner HyTrust, which better fits VMware's stated preference for smaller acquisitions without established revenue streams.)
Novell's identity management product has gotten traction among government agencies, said Shannon Snowden, the manager of delivery services for New Age Technologies in Louisville, Ky., a professional services organization that services VMware and Citrix XenServer clients and that has been a Novell partner. "They're massively scalable, but complex solutions," Snowden said of the Identity Manager deployments. "If [VMware] want[s] to put together a whole [cloud] stack, that's one of the components [it] could use to get there."
Finally, PlateSpin Ltd.'s PowerConvert, a physical-to-virtual (P2V) product, is one of the more frequently mentioned parts of the Novell portfolio in discussions about the potential deal with VMware. While VMware has its own free P2V conversion tool, PowerConvert supports a wider variety of hypervisors, OSes, and server hardware and can schedule migrations with minimal downtime.
Snowden said he uses PowerConvert when migrations require more advanced features than the free VMware P2V tool offers. "It makes a streamed block-level copy over the wire, and we've used it in migrations for healthcare companies, for example, where they could only get a couple of reboots' worth of downtime," Snowden said.
Also, PlateSpin Converter's virtual-to-physical capabilities are a must-have for some customers, said Storrs. "I can count on one hand the number of times we've performed virtual-to-physical migrations, but without that capability some environments wouldn't have considered going virtual," he said.
Longer shots: PlateSpin Recon, ZenWorks, business service management
PlateSpin Recon, a data center capacity planning tool, seems like a long shot for integration into the VMware stack, said Storrs. "PlateSpin is vendor-agnostic for the most part," Storrs said. "But I'd be surprised if [VMware] throw[s] away their own capacity planning development work."
But if VMware were to pick up the Recon assets, it might be used to allow end users to do capacity planning without a professional services engagement. At first glance, that wouldn't be in VMware's interests revenue-wise. That said, earlier this year, VMware introduced a new utility to enable users to self-monitor licensing in their data centers with the new Volume Purchasing Program, a role previously played by channel partners in services engagements.
Meanwhile, as VMware works to strengthen its virtual desktop offerings, it might consider Novell's ZenWorks, software for desktop configuration management and endpoint security that is "one suite Novell is still known for," said Storrs.
Even though some of these tools sound like they could slot into VMware's data center 'stack' strategy, it would also mean a substantial integration effort. "PlateSpin has been around six or seven years; there's some legacy code in there," Storrs warned.
But if VMware does, in fact, pick up Novell's legacy management assets, it shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, wrote Bernd Harzog, a senior analyst at The Virtualization Practice, in an email to SearchServerVirtualization.com. "Novell owns (through the acquisition of Managed Objects) a fairly comprehensive Business Service Management stack … [and] has not done much with this asset, so it is reasonable to assume that it could be acquired relatively inexpensively … [and] in combination with the recently acquired Integrien performance analysis assets would make for a powerful performance monitoring and management capability."

MIAMI – The playoffs appear to be slipping away for the Miami Heat.
For the second straight game, the Heat played from behind for nearly the entire game against a sub .500 team at home and never could put together a run. This time it resulted in a 116-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.
Miami (37-40) drops its second straight home game to a team with a losing record and could not take advantage of the Indiana Pacers losing. The Heat remain tied with Indiana in the standings but hold onto the eighth seed in the playoffs by virtue of the tie-breaker. Miami, though, has five games remaining, its final four against teams with winning records.
"This is like our playoffs right now and it's been like that for awhile," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Our guys are laying it all out there but they haven't been able to get the job done the last couple of games and now we just have to quiet all the noise."
The Heat had two one-point leads that lasted a total of 50 seconds after the Nuggets (36-40) jumped out to an early 12-point lead.
Miami trailed by six with two minutes to play and battled back, again, with a chance to tie at the end but Josh Richardson shot an air ball on a contested 3 pointer.
Goran Dragic led the Heat with 22 points and Richardson had 17, 11 in the fourth quarter. Hassan Whiteside recorded his 53rd double-double of the season with 16 points and 12 rebounds. He also had three blocks.
Denver's Danilo Gallinari led all scorers with 29 points.
"Two teams came in with extreme urgency tonight, one team played better and consequently they got the win," Spoelstra said.
Here are our five takeaways from the crushing loss.
Hitting the wall: The Heat look as though their run, going from 11-30 to three times climbing to within a game of .500, may have taken too much out of them. Miami has played two very similar games against the Knicks and Nuggets, playing from behind virtually the entire game, taking a couple of one-point leads but never able to muster enough to extend the lead. As a result, Spoelstra is giving the team off on Monday before it begins its three-game road trip Wednesday in Charlotte.
"I told them to really be disciplined with this," Spoelstra said. "That's as important as anything, just cleanse your minds, enjoy your family. Our guys have been locked in for several weeks. This is not at all a matter of our guys not understanding the situation. … Our guys not coming without an urgency."
Controversy: With 10.2 seconds to play and Denver leading by one point, the Nuggets called two timeouts while trying to inbound the ball. The Heat vehemently argued that Nikola Jokic traveled before calling the first time out and said it happened again before the second.
"I'm actually surprised he didn't make the call it'll probably come out tomorrow it was a travel," Spoelstra said about official Ron Garretson. "The first one definitely looked like a travel."
The Nuggets finally got the ball in play and Jamal Murray hit two free throws with 9.5 seconds to play to extend Denver's lead to three points.
"He walked," Whiteside said. "I don't want to speak on it too much because the NBA loves fining people for a lot of money."
Whiteside not happy: Whiteside was not happy with his teammates, saying they tried to play "hero ball" in the fourth quarter. Whiteside finished 6-of-12 from the field but was scoreless in the final quarter, missing his only shot.
"They're last in the NBA on defense, we should have worked it a little more (down the stretch)," he said. "We tried to play hero ball. Our guys tried to come down and go 1-on-3 and get it stolen or blocked. At the end we (needed) to run some plays, make them work on the defensive end."
Whiteside's 53rd double-double tied Rony Seikaly's franchise single season record.
Defensive breakdown: Spoelstra spent two days talking about Denver's offensive proficiency and everybody got to see what he was talking about. The Nuggets played most of the game as if they were in a layup drill and their shooting percentage reflected that. The Nuggets followed their 37 point first quarter with a 31 point second quarter. They ended the half shooting 56 percent. Miami tightened up the defense in the second half – Denver closed the game shooting 50.6 percent – but it wasn't enough.
"We were fighting an uphill battle for three quarters and in the NBA teams are too good to do that," Richardson said. "It's hard to get back into the game especially against a team that can score like the Nuggets."
Still alive but it's not looking good: Even with the loss, the Heat continue to hold down the eighth spot in the East because the team they are competing with, Indiana, lost at Cleveland, 135-130, in double overtime, for its sixth loss in its last seven games. The Bulls, though, continues to pull away from Miami and Indiana. Chicago, No. 7, defeated New Orleans and now are one game up on both teams with the tie-breaker on both.

You might be someone who was really strong and had a great toned body when you were in your youth. And now you might be spending the evening of your life, so what do you feel? I'm pretty sure you might be feeling a little off than you were in your youth. Because old age brings a lot of things with it, like what? When you are getting old, you might be feeling really weak and not strong as before, the things that you could have done easily has become a big issue by now, and the long distances you have walked early in your youth have become a dream that you never can achieve. You have experienced it before when you were young right? That's what matters. But that doesn't mean that you have to give up on your health just yet.
How to take care of your health?
The funniest thing is, when people come to their old age, they think that there's no use in taking care of their health anymore. But that's really wrong, you have to think better than that. You have to be always positive and spread that positive vibe around the people who love you, instead of giving a hard time to them, sulking all day, it won't be a nice thing. Always you have to think of facing new things and get inspired, you are not too late for trying anything. And you have to relax yourself, because with the old age, your muscles might hurt all the time and you will feel really bothered when you have to bend your knees or your back. But visiting a spa in Bangkok will simply reduce that discomfort within your body and help you to walk and bend easily than before.
Who says beauty ends with being old?
If you are a lady who is reaching her fifties or something, you might be thinking that you don't want to look any good than you are now and you are preventing yourself from doing anything that would implement your beauty, if you are someone who is still thinking like this, then you are so wrong, because doing something that would enhance your beauty would not only make you look good, it gives you these happy vibes and inspire you to live as well, therefore visiting a nail salon Bangkok would be a great idea, and not only that, you would feel like you are in a spa, as they are very talented in this sort of treatments no matter what the age you are in, so without being negative, go somewhere that would make you happy or do something that would keep you always busy.

Face the challenge
If you are someone who is spending the evening of their life, then do not sulk in a corner of the house, you had your best days like others, so live the rest of your life as happy as before, facing all the challenges which are coming your way.

Posted by Don Shelton Gonzaga is out, and Washington and Washington State were never in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. So now who are state hoops fans rooting for? Are you rooting for the lovable giant killers from Florida Gulf Coast University (and don't tell me you'd heard of that school before last week)? The first No. 15 seed to make the Sweet 16 stunned second-seeded Georgetown and then ran off seventh-seeded San Diego State. Or are you rooting for Peyton Siva, the former Franklin High School guard and his top-seeded Louisville Cardinals? Or are you sticking with the Pac-12 and changing allegiances to root for Arizona or, gasp, the Oregon Ducks? The Ducks, thought to be slapped in the face with a lowly No. 12 seeding, face Louisville on Friday. There's also Wichita State, a No. 9 seed that's another unlikely Sweet 16 team after knocking out Gonzaga. Are you holding a grudge, or rooting for the aptly named Shockers? Oh, yeah, in all this FGCU noise, remember that LaSalle plays Wichita State on Thursday. LaSalle is seeded No. 13. And don't forget about Miami, a two seed that has taken the Hurricanes' program to places it has never been. Or maybe you're rooting for someone else. Some college basketball royalty with NCAA titles next to their names – top-four seeds Indiana, Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Syracuse, Marquette, Michigan, Michigan State and Florida – are all still alive.

iPad - what will work / not work, formats that AD can open&work with
GraviolaB17 posted a topic in Affinity on iPad QuestionsHi there! A little new to iPad and Affinity, read something that some iPad versions (I think I have a kind of new iPad but maybe 3-4 years old) do not support Affinity Photo/Designer? I was thinking of making my own font but it doesn't always get a good output when I finish it and scan my font and upload it to the font services. That's why I wanted to either: 1) Buy a pen tablet and sketch my text and write directly into Affinity Designer. 2) Draw the text on a paper - make a photo with my iPhone, email it to my mail, open up the jpeg in AD and use the pen tool to re-make the text 3) Try an iPad app that works, draw the text (maybe the format will be better and easier when I open the file in AD) and it's there to be edited (color, size etc). Just need to be sure which file formats Affinity Designer can handle. Option 2 seems a little time consuming tho ... I was looking at Graphic and Vectornator but also gonna research these ones: https://www.howtoisolve.com/best-ipad-pro-drawing-apps/ Anyone else with some experiences or what would be the best option for Affinity Designer? I'm doing 80s synthwave/retrowave art and would like to do some of my own texts. Perhaps I can do my own font easier with this method too?? Best

Alu Selekta has been proven to be non-combustible but when is a material deemed combustible?
Published 21 Mar 2018 in Articles
Alu Selekta has recently passed the AS1530.1 non-combustibility test.
The results indicate that the solid aluminium profile is considered to be non-combustible in accordance with Clause C1.12(e) of the BCA and permitted to be used where the BCA nominates non-combustible material.
As part of the AS 1530.1 small-scale material fire test, a small sample of Alu Selekta was immersed in a 750°C furnace.
The test method is intended to provide material property data on individual materials, not systems or composites. However, if any one layer or element of a system or product is combustible then the whole system or product is considered combustible.
There are three criteria in AS 1530.1 where a material is deemed combustible:
- The mean duration of sustained flaming, as determined in accordance with AS 1530.1 Clause 3.2, is other than zero. In summary, the material is combustible if flaming sustained for a period of 5 seconds or longer occurs at any time during the test for any of the five samples tested.
- The mean furnace thermocouple temperature rise, as determined in accordance with AS 1530.1 Clause 3.1, exceeds 50°C.
- The mean specimen surface thermocouple temperature rise, as determined in accordance with AS 1530,1 Clause 3.1, exceeds 50°C.

You Are All Saved
** SPOILER ALERT ** – This is about the season finale of season one of the TV show "Preacher".
"You are all saved!" So the God-imposter exclaims with exceeding joy in the season one finale of "Preacher." The congregation erupts with joy as their existential angst is momentarily resolved with a truthful lie. The imposter thinks he is lying and telling the people what they want to hear. Yet, in reality, he is speaking the truth that the true God of all creation wants you to hear and believe so that the truth of it might take effect also in your life. That is the purpose of the office of "Preacher." As Saint Paul says:
"This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher." (1 Tim 2:3-7)
Season one of "Preacher" has proven to be quite the ride as Seth Rogen lays the foundation so that season two can begin where the comic books start, with the Jesse Custer and friends taking the great American road trip in an effort to find God, to find salvation. It's the great American pastime, finding God. Almost everyone engages in the search one way or another: road trips, sex, drugs and rock and roll, trips through the Grand Canyon. The most successful seem to be those that look for Him with an extended stay at the Greybar Hotel. The odd thing is, few look for Him where He Himself promises to be found, in church where the disciples have gathered to devote themselves to the teaching of the apostles, prayer and the breaking of the bread. God is found, as with most things, in the last place a person would look.
So everyone is rather skeptical in the final episode, that God will visit the Congregational Church of Annville, to justify the ministry of Jesse Custer in the face of Odin Qincannon, who wants Jesse to denounce God. Yet, even when the man on the screen in the video conference with heaven is shown to be an imposter and declares God to be missing, Jesse, for all his own qualms, misgivings and animosity towards God, refuses to denounce Him. He walks out of the church to get French fries with Tulip and Cassidy before resolving to go on a road trip to find God.
The town is elated though, when the phone line reaches heaven and God declares that they are all saved. The exuberance is contagious before the fraud is revealed. It's not the answer that is most often given in church, that you are all saved. Perhaps, this is why the church has become the last place people look for Him.
It was a rather startling revelation I had in my early twenties, some people go to church their whole lives without ever hearing Jesus Christ died to forgive them their sins. Most preachers themselves are afraid to declare something so definitive, so decisive to all in hearing. They might be accused of universalism. And though universalism falls short of truth and the glory of God, there is truth to the statement, "You are all saved."
It was to declare this truth that Paul was appointed a preacher. "Jesus gave himself as a ransom for all." God's desire that all be saved led him to pay the price by which all are saved, all are justified. The old retort to the question of, "When were you saved?" is, "Some two thousand years ago, on a cross just outside the gates of Jerusalem." And while faith is necessary for this to take effect in your life, one's refusal to believe it does not negate the fact that his or her ransom was paid. It was paid with the blood of God, Who desires all to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth.
Faith doesn't make it true, the truth of it makes faith. Jesus Christ lived, died and rose from the dead as God-made-man in our midst that we could rejoice with contagious jubilation when we hear, "You are all saved!"

Photographer's Note
Piazza San Marco is the principal public square of Venice where it is generally known just as "the Piazza" (la Piazza). All other urban spaces in the city (except the Piazzetta and the Piazzale Roma) are called "campi" (fields). The Piazzetta (the 'little Piazza') is an extension of the Piazza towards the lagoon in its south east corner (see plan). The two spaces together form the social, religious and political centre of Venice and are commonly considered together.

Hello Daniel,
What a pity it was such a rainy day, although the wet square added some really nice reflections too. I really like the repetition of all the arches in the background. The people and their umbrellas add a lot of colour to the grey day as well.
Royaldevon (64434) 2018-11-07 1:54
Hello Daniel,
It seems like Venice Day, today!
I have just critiqued a photograph from Chis showing Venice and though both are wet, that is where the comparisons end! Your photograph shows water from the sky not in the canals!
I just love this!
It may have been raining but there is so much to enjoy in this photograph, the buildings, yes but so much colour from the clothing and the umbrellas and the f/g triangle of blue chairs. The pavement is shiny and reflective, conditions that would not be present on a fine, warm day!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
papagolf21 (145210) 2018-11-07 2:03
Bonjour, cher Daniel,
Ce qu'il y a d'extraordinaire, c'est que cette place même sous la pluie garde une beauté particulière.
Ces parapluies colorés donnent à la scène un aspect très gai !
snunney (130965) 2018-11-07 2:11
Hello Daniel,
Venice in the rain has a kind of magic to it. The sea of umbrellas add some nice splashes of colour to relieve the predominantly grey tones. Similarly, the empty blue chairs that are nicely included right of frame. Beguiling, the reflections in the wet pavement.
holmertz (83434) 2018-11-07 2:13
Hello Daniel,
This place is well known, but the colourful umbrellas and rain coats make a big difference. The water sometimes gets very deep here. Now it just creates fine reflections.
Sergiom (115780) 2018-11-07 6:18
Bonjour Daniel,
J'aime beaucoup cette photo de tes archives.Elle montre la célèbre place sous une pluie à boire debout, mais c'est un petit peu moins d'eau que ce qu'elle vit présentement.
rychem (68055) 2018-11-07 8:35
like rainy photos with all reflections on the wet pavement, this is a beautiful famous place and I have heard there is a flood now on this square, what a pity
very well captured

Ciao Daniel
questa foto mi riporta alle attuali difficoltà di questa città, le forti piogge hanno messo a dura prova Venezia ancora una volta.
Bella questa piazza ricca di punti colorati.
ikeharel (98886) 2018-11-09 0:53
It was flooded yet again last weekend, Daniel, saw on TV...
The wet piazza had a nice effect of reflection, and despite the mild light there are beautiful colors of the people coats against the grey architecture of the famous piazza.
Best regards,

Hi Daniel,
I appreciate the reflections on the water. The length of the piazza is creating depth. You have captured well the action of the tourists under the rain. The point of view is showing the details of the cathedral and other buildings. I visited Venice on March 24, 2018, Have a nice day.
cornejo (61232) 2018-11-16 11:07
Hello Daniel, very good picture of this interesting scene of everyday life in the famous square, very well captured in this interesting image, with good sharpness, light, color and quality. A great job perfectly done, my congratulations, my friend. Thanks for sharing this interesting work.
Good night and happy weekend.
All the best from the south of Spain.
fotka (6583) 2018-11-20 5:33
Hi Daniel,
Rainy day on Piazza San Marco. I think we photographers don't like when is raining but wet surface give interesting reflection. I like this fantastic architecture and the colorful umbrellas.

It's almost Valentine's Day, but if you're feeling anxious that you won't find love by the 14th, fear not: Alexa will be your Valentine.
Love-related commands that work for Amazon's virtual assistant include:
- Alexa, will you be my Valentine?
- Alexa, will you marry me?
- Alexa, who is your Valentine? (although if she agreed to be your Valentine before you ask this, the answer doesn't change to reflect that. Sob.)
- Alexa, who do you love?
If you've changed your Alexa wake word to Computer, though, these all sound a bit pathetic. "Computer, will you marry me?" - yikes.
For Valentine's Day 2017, Amazon has added free audiobooks of Pride & Prejudice, read by Rosamund Pike, and Jane Eyre, read by Thandie Newton. The audiobooks are read via Audible, but you don't need a subscription - all Echo customers can ask:
- Alexa, read Jane Eyre from Audible
- Alexa, read Pride and Prejudice from Audible
Plus if you have a trial or subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited, you can enjoy your choice of either a romantic Valentine's playlist or an emo tracklisting of brokenhearted woe:
- Alexa, play the Love Me playlist
- Alexa, play the Love Me Not playlist
Having just asked a computer to be our Valentine, we're going for the second one while we reconsider our life choices.

Honey bees are often the biggest nuisance because they like to build their bee hive in walls and roofs. However, honey bees are an important part of the ecosystem so it is important to always save the bees and relocate when possible. Honey bees will build a honeycomb to house their larvae and to store their honey and pollen. Within the first week, a honeycomb can weigh around three pounds and can continue to grow by up to a pound per day. When honey bees build their hive in your house, it is important to remove the honeycomb in addition to just the bees. If the honeycomb is not removed, it could attract new swarms of bees. Bee Man Stan has removed honeycombs from under floors, water heater boxes, attics, and other unique areas. We always do our part to save the bees throughout Florida.
Contact us today for your bee removal needs!

Care and Planting Instructions
One of the few herbs that prefers full shade. Plant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 4-6″ apart in average to acidic soil that is evenly moist.
Grows well in containers or mixed pots. Plant height 4-8″. Attracts bees and butterflies.
Sweet Woodruff
galium odoratum
Sweet Woodruff is one of the most unique and delightful herbs. It is a superb ornamental plant. Unlike most herbs, it thrives in the shade and makes one of the most beautiful ground covers under trees and in other protected areas. Sweet Woodruff has distinctive glossy star-shaped clusters of leaves that ring out from a central stem, and tiny, lacy white flowers with a vanilla scent.
Known as the 'Waldmeister' (master of the forest), in Germany, Sweet Woodruff is used to flavor May wine. This tradition of adding herbs to flavor wine may have may have come out of a practical need ~ the need to improve the taste of a thin and harsh-tasting early wine.

woolly:More a question than a reply! When will v4.05 be released as a production version
It probably won't, its likely v4.5.0 will be the next released version, though we are going to have to rewrite the reports section , which is likely to take some time
Report errors aside (which probably won't affect most users), 4.5.0 has been running well at some sites for several weeks.
We should add that the database structure has changed between 4.0.x and 4.5, which may affect anyone using 3rd party or self written reporting modules.

I will ask if we can put up a beta for download

Dubai's Prince Hamdan Bid Mohammed chose to travel in Local Train See Pics : The Crown Prince of Dubai Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum on Monday chose a somewhat un-princely means to travel – he boards on the London Underground. His excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and his son Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, together worth more than £10 billion, were found among the commuters traveling on the tube.
His Highness Hamdan bin Mohammed shared a picture of himself to social media on Monday freely sitting on the tube next to a less excited-seeming Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Sheikh Mohammed is the vice president and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Dubai. Video taken by other passengers suggested the pair were visiting near Mile End, in Tower Hamlets, on Sunday. It is not comprehended what the pair are doing in London.
One commenter, writing in Arabic, shared the image showed the ruler's "humility".
According to a news in Al Arabiya English, the social media accounts snap has gone "viral" in the UAE where Sheikh Mohammed is stated to be "more often seen riding around his emirate in an extravagance white Mercedes G-Class".
From #londonunderground pic.twitter.com/U4D7HQtyo1
— Hamdan bin Mohammed (@HamdanMohammed) July 18, 2016
Sheikh Mohammed was supposed to have had a £10 billion fortune in 2013.
Popularly known as Fazza, the crown prince knows the city well from his time studying at LSE. His father His excellency Sheikh Rashid is frequently seen at horse racing meetings in the countryside.
Many football fans responded to their appearance by urging them to buy their clubs, including Leeds United and Grimsby Town.

Rob's presentation details for Mobile Beat Las Vegas are available by clicking here
I started my law career at an international law firm based in Paris, France, where my job was to help French companies navigate the waters of the American legal system. Although this was not always easy (try explaining to an angry Frenchman that a serving napkin with some illegible script would probably be tough to enforce as a contract in Georgia), the tasks were always enjoyable.
At about that time, my girlfriend, a fabulously talented wedding photographer, requested that what I can do for the French, I should do for her. Who am I to argue? (lawyer joke). Reviewing her client contract, I was horrified. Don't tell her this, but I would have preferred she use the serving napkin. After finishing her contract, word got out, and her colleagues requested that I review their contracts as well. Then their colleagues followed, which included planners, florists, and venues, and on and on.
A niche was born.
Eventually, I left my previous firm to open up my own firm and spend more time trying cases (or as the French would say, Je voulais que le lait, la vache, et un baiser de la laitière). The wedding industry followed. I loved hearing the stories, learning the industry-speak, and devising ways to keep my clients protected in such an emotional and litigious culture.
Today, much of my practice is dedicated to the representing and educating wedding professionals, from speaking engagements, to maintaining WeddingIndustryLaw.com, and to the arguing in the courtroom. It's not always easy, but it is always enjoyable. C'est la vie!

Welcome to Speedway Angels. My name is Al Kozlowski I am a father of 5 Boys. This is how I came up with Speedway Angels and the concept behind our MISSION.
I am an avid Nascar follower. In 2005 I had the opportunity to Pit with Clint Bowyer in his AC Delco team. While at Nashville Superspeedway I had the opportunity to experience Victory Circle when Clint won. While in Victory Circle I remember looking around and noticing the lack of Children participation.
I remember noticing a large crowd of Adults acting like children, but no children enjoying this awesome atmosphere. After this, I started to pay close attention to the ages of the individuals that attended the races and it was very obvious that children attendance was lacking. Especially children with disabilities.
I Love Nascar and still attend as much as I can. I am in fear that the sport will slowly die out without the next generation's participation. Because of this, I thought how can I assist in the longevity of the sport I enjoy.
I have a Nephew with Aspergers and we have attended many local races together and seeing the enjoyment on his face while at the race sparked the ideas that are included within Asphalt Angels Missions. I have heard and seen children with Disabilities and Terminally ill circumstances attending special events within Nascar but they are few and far between. We plan on changing this.
With the cooperation of the generously kind Nascar Community, we can do this. Many do not know about other organizations that exist to help others in many different ways. Many of these organizations have the ability to help millions but they do not advertise to let anyone know. If you want help you have to DIG to find it. We want to change this and make it easier for all that need assistance to be able to find these organizations.
Our mission is to provide information and enjoyment within everyone we meet. We want to educate the world about children with Disabilities and other organizations that care about them as much as we do. We are hoping that with cooperation from the many organizations in the world today we can accomplish our Missions.
I want to take this time to say thanks to my Nephew Brandon for being a large inspiration and driving force behind the conception of Speedway Angels. Without him and others with disabilities in the world, today imagine how boring this world would be.

Milan/Hong Kong—An 8.6% profit rise would be a pretty good third quarter earnings for most companies. But when you are Prada SpA used to double digit increases propelled by the growing luxury market in Asia, it is considered to be disappointing.
Following similar slowdowns in earnings from LVMH and Kering, Prada said today that growth in overall group revenue was slightly slower "following a general market trend," as sales in Western Europe and Asia slowed.
For the quarter ended Oct 31, net profit was 132.64 million euros (about $181.7 million), compared with 122.1 million euros a year earlier. But that was less than analysts had expected: 154 million euros.
Expansion of Miu Miu Planned
Net revenue increased 7.1% to 848 million euros from 791.9 million euros a year ago.
At its Prada brand sales were up 9.5% compared with a 14% increase in the first half of the year.
The company's other brands showed mixed results, with Miu Miu and Church's both recording small declines in sales and Car Shoe posting a 10% drop in revenue.
By region, sales growth in Greater China, which normally accounts for about 25% of total sales, moderated in the third quarter, Prada said, partly because its flagship stores in Hong Kong and Macau were undergoing renovation work. Moreover, Prada, and other luxurygoods brands, have had to contend with a crackdown on conspicuous consumption by Chinese government officials. Though apparently they still buy while traveling.
"The Chinese consumers tend to be strong travelers and they shop a bit everywhere," CEO Patrizio Bertelli said. "We see a lot of Chinese shoppers in other places like New York, for example."
Prada said the strength of the euro against other currencies, in particular the Japanese yen and U.S. dollar, also had weighed on its earnings. And the company said it had been hit by high taxes in Italy.
"Net income was slightly impacted by exchange rates and a higher tax rate due to the ongoing discussions with Italian authorities on controlled foreign company legislation," chief financial officer Donatello Galli said on the conference call with analysts.
Going forward, Prada plans to build its Miu Miu brand.
"We are going to invest more in communications and marketing for the Miu Miu brand," Bertelli said. "We are confident that the results will show next year."
That move was applauded by some analysts. "The development of Miu Miu is an important plank to extend growth dynamic into the future," said Exane BNP Paribas analyst Luca Solca.

Review of NDA'd iOS Work
One negative aspect of having worked at other agencies over the last four years is that much of my work is cloaked by Non Disclosure Agreements. Without breaking those agreements let me review at a high level the concepts and technologies of some of the projects I've recently worked with.
Project Green
A research project whose primary purpose involved verifying a larger project estimate and confirming feature viability related to iOS 10's CallKit APIs. During this review also gained experience with Twilio's audio and video APIs.
Project Orange
With this iPad app, related to the home construction industry, the user would take a photo and then augment it with custom drawing tools. I worked on this app through a few separate contract engagements doing various additions and improvements. Involved technologies: Networking, Image Caching, Custom File Persistence, Advanced Gesture Actions, Custom Drawing and Analytics (via Google).
Project: Red
An iPhone app to help people track the status and location of tools via Bluetooth. For this app I worked heavily on the custom theme and visual look of the app. I also helped to localize it into 20+ languages. Involved technologies: Core Bluetooth, Networking, Core Data, Advanced Auto Layout and Custom Drawing.
Project: Blue
A universal workout app for both iPhone and iPad. Built to help users run a specific workout sequence with video and audio cues. User also had tools to build custom workouts. Highly visual custom look and feel. Involved technologies: Core Data, Advanced Auto Layout, Animations, Custom Video Player and Custom Drawing.
Project: Yellow
A mobile platform, both tablets and phones, both iOS and Android. Doctors would use the tablets for visual aids while educating patients and build custom document packets for them. The documents would then be transferred to the patient's phone app which also had custom tracking tools. Involved technologies: Core Data, Core Bluetooth, Animations, Address Book and Custom Charting Views.

Biggest Pump-and-Dump Scam Ever Spikes Spam 445%
The largest spam attack ever tracked wound down Aug. 9 after delivering enough big, fat PDF files to increase total spam size 445 percent in one day, according to Postini, a hosted e-mail filtering company that's been tracking the attack since it started Aug. 7.
Postini tracked a 53 percent jump in spam volume from the day before the attack started to the day it launched, according to Senior Marketing Manger Adam Swidler, in San Carlos, Calif.
Why it stopped is a mystery, but more than likely it wound down because it was a spam run being conducted on a rented bot network, Swidler said. "Presumably [the] rental time ran out," he said.
How much would renting that botnet have cost? PandaLabs recently released research into the malware market. It suggested one scenario in which a criminal could buy a Trojan for $500, a 1 million-address mailing list for about $100, a $20 encryption program, and a $500 spamming server. The total outlay in this theoretical example would be $1,120. (For PandaLabs' screen grabs showing what the market looks like, check out the slideshow.
The attack entails a straightforward pump-and-dump spam scam with no virus payload. Experts at SophosLabs said they had detected around 500 million e-mails with PDFs that recommend buying the stock of Prime Time Group.

Kendall Haven's research, consulting work, and two seminal books have revolutionized our understanding of stories—of the science of story, of the neurology of story, and of the relationship between the human brain and story.
STORY PROOF (the evidence—2009) and STORY SMART (the experiments and application—2014) are essential resources for every person—in any field— who needs to persuade, inspire, influence, inform, or teach!
"The purpose of every communication is to exert influence (to persuade, to inspire, to change attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, and behavior). We can now measure that impact by looking directly at the human brain of the Target Audience."
Story consultant Kendall Haven is an internationally recognized expert on the structure and use of story. As a narrative influence architect, Haven guides companies, organizations, and agencies to discover the power and impact possible in their internal and external communications.
Haven's research discoveries make corporate narrative and influence control possible. These include: the Eight Essential Elements that form the foundation of successful stories, the human Neural Story Net, the Make Sense Mandate, the importance of Motive Matching, key Influence Triggers, and the first and only explicit and quantitative Story Influence Model that explains how to use story elements to extend and exert persuasive influence.
Haven's acclaimed book, STORY PROOF: The Science Behind the Startling Power of Story presents the first-ever proof that "story structure" is an information delivery system powerhouse, evolutionarily hardwired into human brains. His follow-on, STORY SMART: Using the Science of Story to persuade, Inspire, Influence and Teach, (2014) lays out the latest neural and cognitive research on story engagement, story power, story influence, and the process for merging your themes and messages into effective, powerful story architecture.
"Your brain has been evolutionarily hardwired to think, to understand, to make sense, and to remember in specific story terms and elements."
For 150,000 years, humans have relied on story structure to communicate and to archive (in human memory) key history, knowledge, facts, beliefs, concepts, and attitudes. Evidence Haven gathered from 16 fields of scientific research (from neural and evolutionary biology, to developmental psychology, to knowledge and information management theory, and, of course, to storytelling and writing) has shown that this historical reliance on story has evolutionarily rewired human brains so that we are born hardwired to automatically think, understand, make sense, and remember through stories. specific story structure is literally woven into your DNA!
Haven's work in the emerging field of neural story science has created a set of powerful, practical, and tested tools that provide the key to effective engagement, empathy, influence and communication. His workshops and consulting sessions arm leaders with the knowledge and ability to successfully master the art of consistently effective communication.
"The first storyteller to merge the power of story and neural science with the wisdom of decades of story performance."
A senior research scientist turned award-winning author, speaker, master storyteller, and nationally recognized subject expert on the structure and use of story, Haven has authored 34 books and has performed for world-wide audiences of over 6 million. The first researcher to ever conduct controlled, in-lab EEG experimental tests of story structures, Haven now assists agencies, organizations, companies, and schools to master the use and power of story (and of the specific elements that build the structure of effective stories) as they discover, form, and craft stories that have allure and impact, and that stick with listeners for years.
If you don't provide the essential story elements of YOUR story for your target audience, they will invent them on their own—and they'll always get it wrong.
Every organization has stories they need to tell—stories about important concepts, causes, groups of people, ideas, brands, or about the organization, itself. These stories can be for internal organizational purposes or for external (outreach) use. Haven has uncovered the scientific proof that illuminates both the power of, and the structure of, effective stories and has developed a unique process that guides client organizations to define, discover, and craft their vital messages into effective story structures that will improve the success of their communications and widen and deepen their impact.
Unfortunately many companies, agencies, and organizations never develop the narratives that successfully tell those key stories. Studies have shown that as many as 30% of non-profit messaging is actually counter productive. As basic as story and storytelling are to human brains, it turns out not to be so easy to do when it's your story. Haven works with each organization to leverage their existing strengths and story material and amplify and project those core messages by effectively merging them with the elements of story architecture.

Aug. 4, 2005
By Jason Halpin
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- As a kid, Brandi Chastain was a season ticket-holder for the North American Soccer League's San Jose Earthquakes, and when MLS started up in 1996, she bought season tickets for the San Jose Clash.
Now, the self-proclaimed devoted MLS fan is even closer to the action, having joined the broadcast team for the league's national telecasts on ESPN2 and ABC. In Columbus, Ohio, for the 2005 Sierra Mist MLS All-Star Game, Chastain assessed the first three months of her broadcast journalism career, comparing it with something she's very familiar with: team sports.
"Like anything else, coming on to a new team, you have to pay your dues, you have to feel your way around," she said. "You're going to make some mistakes. You're going to rely on your teammates to give you some advice. And I think every game is getting a little bit better. I'm not free of mistakes, but I'm willing to work to get better, and I'm enjoying it.
"Being as efficient and clear and crisp as possible, I think, is the toughest issue for me. I like to paint the picture a little bit, when fewer words are probably what's necessary."
Chastain has a good base to work with. A two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion with the U.S. national team (and former Santa Clara University star), Chastain was also a key player in the formation of the now-defunct WUSA.
Her playing career has given Chastain the ability to analyze the game from the sidelines, and that knowledge and her love of MLS, and the sport in general, should set her up for success. Though, she admits there is a downside to being a reporter.
"As a player, my natural instinct, when I come out here, is to be on the field," she said. "Not to be out there with those guys right now is hard for me. It's hard to watch practice. It's hard to watch the games."
As she watched the MLS All-Stars train on Friday, she also provided insight regarding the ins and outs of Coach's Corner, in which Chastain interviews the coach of each team once each game while the action is going on. With a coach is intensely observing the match, she said, it never feels like a good time to conduct an interview. Thankfully, she noted, coaches are usually understanding and accommodating.
"[Kansas City Wizards head coach Bob] Gansler said that I was bad luck because I was standing there waiting for [the interview], and they got scored on," she said. "The coaches understand that it's my job ... the thing about our coaches is they know that, so it's not new."
Chastain's goal is to continue to build her knowledge and become more comfortable walking the sidelines.
"I've always been a student of the game, so I enjoy the fact that I have a chance to learn something every game. I was looking over Jose Mourinho's shoulder (Thursday) night watching him write down lineups," she said of the Chelsea manager. "I'm just trying to learn."

Governing Party questions Prez., NEC credibility- Prez. reacts
MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Three collaborating political parties are questioning the credibility of the National Elections Commission (NCE) in conducting a free, fair and transparent elections in Liberia.
The governing Unity Party (UP), Liberty Party (LP) and the All Liberian Party (ALP), in a joint statement issued Sunday, October, 29, 2017 and read by UP Chairman, Wilmot Paye, in Sinkor, at the party Headquarters outside Monrovia, cited increasing reports of alleged irregularities in the October 10, Presidential and Representative Elections.
According to the statement, the discovery of a voter registration center at the home of Amos Seeboe, a staff in the office of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf is worrisome and of concern.
The Executive Mansion has therefore, reacted sharply, describing the allegation against President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as baseless.
The political parties, as part of their claims, also spoke on a recent meeting allegedly organized with President Sirleaf and the commissioners of the NEC as unprecedented.
Chairman Paye said: "These developments are healthy and could undermine the outcome of the November 7, Run-Off Elections".
The NEC Communications Director, Henry Flomo, said: "The Commission did not follow the statement and would henceforth respond appropriately".
In his Executive reaction, the Presidential Press Secretary, Jerelimick Piah, said: "the statements of allegation by the three parties are intended to undermine the democratic process of Liberia".
Mr. Piah further clarified that, "There has not been any interference with the October 10 National Elections, the meeting with the NEC officials was in line with the President's constitutional mandate to ensure that the electoral process was supported".
The Presidential Press Secretary further said: "The meeting was held but with international partners in attendance".
He then reminded political parties to uphold the Farmington River Declaration in seeking redress to related elections' dispute.

Your kidneys are found on the right and left of your body near your spine. They are each about 11 centimeters long. Their job is basically to keep the body clean of toxins.
They filter your blood (and thus influence red cells) to remove ammonia-based products to be excreted in your urine.
They are connected to your bladder to ensure that the waste has a way out of your body too.
We need our kidneys because without them, we'd die. So it's important to know what the warning signs of kidney problems are so we can take swift action to head trouble off at the pass.
We'd never even considered that number 5 could be a sign of bad kidneys.
7. Tiredness
Our kidneys deal with the manufacture of red blood cells. That is, they produce the cells which carry oxygen around our bodies. When we're low on red blood cells, we're low on energy and we're tired all the time. Constant tiredness may be an early warning sign of kidney problems.
6. Funny Taste
This is an unusual symptom and one that you shouldn't take as a guarantee of kidney problems, but should talk to a physician about if you experience it on a regular basis. People with failing kidneys regularly report that they can taste a "metallic taste" in their mouths. This isn't always reported during/after eating.
5. Urination Issues
The kidneys are also responsible for producing urine and if you're having problems when you urinate, that's a massive red flag that there's something wrong in the kidneys. Watch out for unusual colors (over a period of time), changes in pressure and ultra-frequent urination. If there's blood, don't wait – go to the doctor now.
4. Blowing Up Like A Balloon
Kidney failure has a peculiar and under-reported side effect. It can cause huge amounts of swelling in random parts of the body. We hope that if you end up like this you won't need telling to consult a doctor but just in case – we'd strongly encourage you to do so.
3. Breathlessness
If you find it difficult to catch a breath, then you might want to think about talking to a physician and having your kidneys checked out. That's because your kidneys regulate your red blood cells and if you can't get enough oxygen, you start struggling to catch a breath.

I have some sympathy with this.
(hat-tip ASBO Jesus)
I have some sympathy with this.
(hat-tip ASBO Jesus)
I found a new website about prayer today. The link to it is at the bottom of the post. I'm not sure what I make of it yet. It's full of harsh, stark, beautiful prayers from all sorts of people in all sorts of places facing all sorts of challenges. It's profound, but profoundly what? Reassuring? Disturbing? Maybe both, I think.
It intrigues me that a website about prayer should overtly distance itself (as this one does) from any connection with anything faith-based, because its posts are from real people with real needs, addressing God. They don't seem believe they're screaming into a void, or why bother to address an Almighty? I'm reassured by this site that we all search – whether we recognise it or not – for something more to life than the emptiness of now. The very utterance of these prayers suggests that something deep inside us knows there is something more. That somewhere inside each of these people there's a mustard seed of a faith. Prayer helps, somehow. I guess the question, the mystery, is why.
I'm disturbed about the places we look to for help, though. At the end of the day we all make choices about faith. John Ortberg puts it like this:
"…making the right choices about faith — like making good choices for life in general — does not seem to rest primarily on IQ. Smart people mess up as easily as the rest of us.
"Three men are in a plane: a pilot, a Boy Scout, and the world's smartest man. The engine fails, the plane is going down, and there are only two parachutes. The smart man grabs one. "I'm sorry about this," he says, "but I'm the smartest man in the world; I have a responsibility to the planet," and he jumps out of the plane. The pilot turns to the Boy Scout and speaks of how he has lived a long, full life and how the Boy Scout has his whole life in front of him. He tells the Boy Scout to take the last parachute and live. "Relax, Captain," the Boy Scout says. "The world's smartest man just jumped out of the plane with my backpack."
"Our world is full of smart people jumping out of planes with backpacks. One of the paradoxes of faith and doubt is that it is the ultimate intellectual challenge, yet simple and uneducated people may live with great wisdom and PhDs may choose folly. One thing is for sure: sooner or later the plane is going down.
"We all are on the same plane. Smart guys and Boys Scouts alike: everybody has to jump. Everybody has to choose a parachute. No one will know who chose wisely until after they jump." (Faith & Doubt, Zondervan, 2008).
I choose to put my hope in the promise of Jesus. That hope seems absent from some of the posts on Dear God. The harder question, therefore, that this site raises for me is about different concepts of God. It makes me ask whether one concept of God is the same as another. In the bottom of my heart I want the answer to be yes, but I don't think it is.
Today I stopped again to reflect on Jesus' claims. Are the narratives of his life and death just pieces of random social and political history shrouded in myth over 2000 years? Was he just a generally good guy who got up the authorities' noses, or is there more to it than that? Who, really, was this self-professed God-man who claimed victory over evil; promised forgiveness; loved the unloveable; taught the drop outs; healed the broken; washed the dung-plastered feet of his own followers; and who offers these things to you too? What does it evoke in you to hear that he was hated and hunted, that he allowed himself to be convicted, publicly humiliated, beaten and slowly killed? And that 3 days later his tomb was empty and his followers met him again. We each have to decide which way to jump.

Acer Inc (宏碁), the world's fourth-largest PC brand, yesterday said it expected fourth-quarter revenue to drop 5 percent to 10 percent from the third quarter because the flooding in Thailand has disrupted hard-disk production.
In a previous forecast, the firm said it would break even this quarter.
The company told an investor conference that fourth-quarter revenue would drop from NT$117.89 billion (US$3.95 billion) in the third quarter because of the severe flooding in Thailand.
"It is hard to assess the impact until the floods have fully receded," company president Jim Wong (翁建仁) said.
The disruption has affected the price of hard disks, which have risen 5 percent to 20 percent, and Acer plans to start to reflect those costs on the market starting from the middle of next month, he said.
The company, which saw third-quarter losses narrow to NT$1.09 billion from a loss of NT$6.79 billion in the second quarter, said it aims to break even in the fourth quarter.
Operating margin this quarter will be as much as 1 percent, from minus-1.1 percent in the third quarter, Wong said.
The turnaround is due to strong demand for Acer's ultrabooks and the light, powerful notebooks offer a higher margin, chairman J. T. Wang (王振堂) said.
Acer said it would ship between 250,000 and 300,000 ultrabooks in the fourth quarter, and ultrabooks would account for 25 percent to 35 percent of its total notebook shipments next year.
The company is banking on sales of ultrabooks to fuel fourth-quarter shipments.
Ultrabook production lines are not facing a hard-drive shortage because their drives are made in China, and the company is the only maker that offers hard drive-based ultrabooks in mass volumes, Wang said.
Other PC makers such as Asustek Computer Inc (華碩) ship ultrabooks that only have solid state drives.
Acer, whose global PC ranking dropped to No. 4 in the third quarter because of its restructuring efforts, said its total PC shipments should grow 10 percent next year, in line with the industry's momentum.
"Acer's fourth-quarter forecasts seem conservative," said Kirk Yang (楊應超), managing director of Barclays Capital Asia Ltd.
"The company's performance had hit bottom and it will gradually pick up steam, but how fast the recovery will be remains to be seen," Yang said.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's third-largest contract notebook PC maker, Wistron Corp (緯創), yesterday said it expects 20 percent growth across major product categories next year.
Except for LCD TV shipments — which will remain flat — notebooks, tablets, handheld devices, desktops and monitors will see shipments expand 20 percent next year, Wistron chairman Simon Lin (林憲民) told an investor conference.
It expects to see the impact ofm the component shortage caused by Thailand's floods only in December, and Lin said fourth-quarter notebook shipments would still grow slightly from the third.
Wistron posted a 24.93 percent drop in earnings in the first three quarters to NT$6.7 billion, while revenue during the same period rose 1.91 percent from last year to NT$463.11 billion.
Wistron shares closed up 1.23 percent to NT$37.05 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange before the conference, Acer shares inched up 0.71 percent to NT$35.4.
