You may not realize this, but solid Bible-believing Christians have differing opinions on 'cussing.' While you're picking up your jaw off the floor, let me enlighten you. I don't think any serious Scripture-reader can question the power that words carry, or the onus for Christians to exercise self-control in the language they use. I wrote about this recently in 'Some Words on Words.'
However, there is some valid discussion out there on the subject of just how this self-control plays itself out in terms of context, motives, and the purpose of our words. We know that the writers of Scripture used strong language in many instances. Ezekiel in the Old Testament and Paul in the New, used words and phrases that would have caused more than a few of their readers to blush.[1] Inspired by the Spirit of God, these human writers used human language that not only had teeth, but also some bite to it.
I recently received this question from someone at the church I pastor: "Is cussing a matter of conscience or a black and white sin issue, because it can't be both?"
I think it is both. On one level, the use of foul language is a black and white sin issue, but on another level I think it is also a matter of conscience. Let me explain.
Black and White
What is black and white on this issue is that Christians are called by the gospel that saves them to live holy lives unto God. All of life is worship, and an awareness of this (which is part and parcel to Christian regeneration) should lead the Christian to put off certain things in order to put on others. Colossians 3:8 is the major text that handles this, and why I call this aspect of the discussion black and white. In context, Paul is calling the gospel-believer to "seek the things which are above…and put to death the things which are earthly in you." Basically, put off the old habits, and keep in step with the Spirit of God in you.[2]All of life is worship; this leads the Christian to put off certain things in order to put on others.

Colossians 3:8
But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
The word in question here is the Greek word translated "obscene talk." The word is aischrologia, which combines two words: aischros, which means 'foul-mouthed' and lego which means 'to say,' and coincides with the same root as logos, 'word.'[3] Different lexicons describe the range of meaning of this term as everything from "speech of a kind that is generally considered in poor taste,"[4] to "obscene, shameful speech involving culturally disapproved themes—'vulgar speech, obscene speech, dirty talk."[5]
To put it in plain language—the black and white side of this issue is that Christians shouldn't have potty mouths.
The Matter of Conscience
But what constitutes a potty mouth? What words should a Christian say or not say?
There is a part of this that isn't rocket science. Though I respect those who argue that all words are a product of culturally subjective value systems in certain times and places which morph over time, I don't think that's the bottom line here. There is a segment within the Christian world that espouses this idea, using this argument as license to unapologetically use foul language like it is going out of style. Though this is a minority position in the church, I think it's important to recognize that it does exist. Though I respect those who hold this view, I think they are quite wrong and equally immature.
I think the objective truth here is that Christians are called to live a life of worship to God that puts off filthy language. If that target (filthy language) doesn't exist, how do Christians fulfill that command? If everything is subjective here, how do I live out Colossians 3:8? I think every Christian across the ages has lived in a specific cultural time and place and that within each culture—because of the depravity of humanity—certain words, terms, and phrases have been generally accepted as foul or obscene.
So how is this a matter of conscience?
Scripture gives the plumb line: 'put off filthy language.' But we're aiming at a moving target. Filthy language in 21st century Vancouver, Washington is different than filthy language in 3rd century Rome. Meaning, the actual words are different. As language changes, we need to pray for wisdom, search the Scriptures, and stay humble and accountable in Christian community.
So what's the list of no-no's?
If you're looking for that list—I think you are also missing the point. As is so often the case, the gospel doesn't give us the easy list of do's and don'ts—it calls us to walk daily in the Spirit, in Christian community, and never to get so comfortable in our 'freedom' that we lose the gospel by using it as an excuse for sinful license. The gospel also calls us to look past appearances and perceptions into the heart of each person speaking. We must ask: What is the motive? What is the context? What is being said here?The gospel doesn't give us the easy list of do's and don'ts—it calls us to walk daily in the Spirit. Click To Tweet

The Merger of Calvinism with Worldliness
By Dr. Peter Masters - Posted at The Highway:
When I was a youngster and newly saved, it seemed as if the chief goal of all zealous Christians, whether Calvinistic or Arminian, was consecration. Sermons, books and conferences stressed this in the spirit of Romans 12.1-2, where the beseeching apostle calls believers to present their bodies a living sacrifice, and not to be conformed to this world. The heart was challenged and stirred. Christ was to be Lord of one's life, and self must be surrendered on the altar of service for him.
But now, it appears, there is a new Calvinism, with new Calvinists, which has swept the old objectives aside. A recent book, Young, Restless, Reformed, by Collin Hansen tells the story of how a so-called Calvinistic resurgence has captured the imaginations of thousands of young people in the USA, and this book has been reviewed with great enthusiasm in well-known magazines in the UK, such as Banner of Truth, Evangelical Times, and Reformation Today.
This writer, however, was very deeply saddened to read it, because it describes a seriously distorted Calvinism falling far, far short of an authentic life of obedience to a sovereign God. If this kind of Calvinism prospers, then genuine biblical piety will be under attack as never before.
The author of the book is a young man (around 26 when he wrote it) who grew up in a Christian family and trained in secular journalism. We are indebted to him for the readable and wide-reaching survey he gives of this new phenomenon, but the scene is certainly not a happy one.
The author begins by describing the Passion, conference at Atlanta in 2007, where 21,000 young people revelled in contemporary music, and listened to speakers such as John Piper proclaiming Calvinistic sentiments. And this picture is repeated many times through the book - large conferences being described at which the syncretism of worldly, sensation-stirring, high-decibel, rhythmic music, is mixed with Calvinistic doctrine.
We are told of thunderous music, thousands of raised hands, 'Christian' hip-hop and rap lyrics (the examples seeming inept and awkward in construction) uniting the doctrines of grace with the immoral drug-induced musical forms of worldly culture.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Diving in Belize and other Scuba Diving topics.
Belize City, on the mainland, hosts Belize's international airport. While it is the gateway to the offshore scuba diving islands and/or the inland jungle touring, Belize City itself is not recommended as a tourist area. In fact, safety in Belize City is a concern because of its problem with petty crime, and tourists are advised to be very careful when walking the streets there. In most cases, visitors to Belize need see only the international airport, and there is no reason to include overnights in Belize City as part of your Belize travel plans.

Raycom in Advanced Talks for Drewry Stations
Raycom Media is in advanced negotiations to acquire Drewry Communications, according to multiple sources. The purchase price is said to be around $150 million, according to a person close to the discussions. The stations include KXXV-KRHD Waco, KFDA-KEYU Amarillo (Texas), KSWO-KSWX Wichita Falls-Lawton (Texas-Okla.) and KWAB-KWES Odessa-Midland (Texas).
Raycom did not return calls for comment at presstime. Larry Patton, KSWO general manager and group senior VP, said, "I can't really comment on that."
Kalil & Co. is said to be brokering the transaction. Kalil broker Frank Higney would not comment.
Three sources said Sinclair made an offer previously, but no deal was agreed on.
Drewry's potential sale comes as smaller, often family-held station groups consider offers from growth-minded major broadcasters. The group features strong stations, including Amarillo leader KFDA, minimal debt, a range of affiliations, and market sizes from No. 87 to 146.

Make Home Buying A Treat Not A Trick!
It might be the month for Trick Or Treating but when buying a new home (especially as a first time buyer) you want it to be more of a treat than a trick! Unfortunately it is easy to be fooled out there with all the misconceptions and misinformation about home buying. It is important to know all the facts before setting off on your journey to find your dream home. Here are 9 myths about home buying that we are happy to debunk for you!!
Myth 1: Looking for a House is Your First Step.
The initial search for the home is undoubtedly the fun part of the process. You know your list of desirables and you have the internet at your fingertips to help you find your dream home. BUT, there is a lot of information that you need know ahead of time before potentially getting your heart set on a home. Your first step should be to make sure that your credit is in top form AND get pre-approval for a mortgage. These steps will help you determine your budget and allow you to search for houses that are in an appropriate price range. Plus, pre-approval for a mortgage will help you during the process as it makes you more attractive to sellers.
Myth 2: Your Best Finance Option is a 30-Year Mortgage.
Many home buyers think that by selecting a 30-year mortgage they will automatically save money since they have a longer period of time to pay off the loan. Although monthly payments on a 30-year are lower than a 15-year mortgage, you will end up paying MORE in the end since you are borrowing the same amount of money for both BUT are borrowing for twice as long and at a higher interest rate with the 30-year option. Look into all loan options out there before making a decision. A 30-year fixed mortgage might be the best option for you or there might be another loan that makes more sense. Stay open and do plenty of research ahead of time to make an informed decision. Check out our helpful Finance Information for this step of the process.
Myth 3: Your Down Payment has to be 20%.
Although a 20% down payment allows you to avoid paying for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), it is not always the required amount from lenders. If you are willing to pay the monthly bill for PMI, you may be eligible for loans with a 5% or 10% down payment. Otherwise, there are also FHA loans and other down payment assistance options that you may qualify for.
Myth 4: The Down Payment is your Only Cost Upfront.
The down payment on the home will never be the only cost you have to pay up front. There are always added costs for credit reports, inspections, insurance, and more that home buyers need to account for. Additionally, the negotiated deal for the house could include you being responsible for the closing costs.
Myth 5: You are out of Luck if you have Bad Credit.
Having good to excellent credit definitely helps when it comes to buying a home. But, even if your credit is not great, you can still be eligible for some financing options. FHA loans can offer low down payments to buyers with bad credit. Be sure to do plenty of research ahead of time though regarding your loan options. Something that might look great at first, might not be great in the long run.
Myth 6: Home Inspections Aren't Necessary.
A home inspection is ALWAYS a crucial step in the home buying process. Even if you are worried that you might lose out on the house to a buyer that waives the inspection, it is worth the risk. There is far more risk in buying the home as is without knowing any hidden issues with it. You will save a ton of money and time buy spending the money upfront to inspect the home.
Myth 7: You Must Offer the Asking Price.
You found your dream house and you don't want to risk losing it…..so you have to offer the full asking price, right? Although there can be competition when putting an offer on a house, you do not need to offer the asking price. Sellers will often be willing to negotiate with buyers who have awesome credit, a pre-approved loan, and a ready down payment in order to ensure that the house gets sold as soon as possible. You also do not need to offer the full asking price if the home inspection you got exposed some issues with the house. You can negotiate a price based on what the inspection found.
Myth 8: You Don't Need a Realtor.
It is important to work with an Experienced Realtor during your home buying process. Although the internet might make it appear like it is easy to buy a home on your own, there is a lot of valuable information that realtors know that can assist you. We understand the market, know exactly what to look for, have experience negotiating, and so much more. The experience will seem a lot less stressful having someone knowledgeable on your side along the way!
Myth 9: Choose A Home Based On Your Current Lifestyle Only.
It is important to recognize what you need in a home immediately as well as in the future. Whether you are planning on having children someday or not, buying a home in a neighborhood with good schools should be on your list of must haves. Research has shown that homes in such neighborhoods have higher resale value, so if you ever consider selling in the future you are setting yourself up for success. Also, consider other lifestyle needs that you might develop over time. If you plan on being in your home for the long haul, make sure that what you will want in 10, 20, or 30 years from now is available in the home and neighborhood that you selected.

For almost 20 years single.dk has been matching lonely hearts. In that time, online dating has become commonplace for young and old. More and more services have cropped up, each promising to deliver partners through cyberspace, whether for a lifetime or just for the night. But up until now, few have had a profile separating them from the rest of the pack. Our job was to change that, and to make single.dk stand out as the dating site for those who take love seriously.
To signal the coming together of two people finding love, we designed the logo as two lines intertwining into one heart. And in an industry where red is the default color, for love as well as for lust, we opted for green as the color of hope.
In collaboration with
Jakob Staalby.
The new logo was launched by a nationwide ad campaign heralding headlines such as:
Keep fucking around and eventually you'll find the one and only.
Also, if you buy a few more lottery coupons, you'll soon be a millionaire.

Can you guess how many kids we had come to our school camp? There were 165 children from years 5 and 6 all squeezed into 56 tents on the Pt England school field. I couldn't wait!
I wrote a post about what I was looking forward to and what I was most worried about. The thing I was most looking forward to was the Top Teams challenge but guess what! My favourite thing was my worst thing. It was kayaking.
I didn't like doing camp cooking. I wanted to do campfire like the boys but we weren't allowed to. When I wrote my other post I said the thing I was most worried about was the concert. It turned out alright thought.
One thing I found amusing was when I tipped the kayak. While I was kayaking in a single boat I collided into one of my friends. Suddenly TIP!! Over went the kayak, the water was freezing, but I was so pleased that it was shallow. I quickly tipped it back over and jumped back in.
I had a goal for camp. It was to be a great team leader and have an amazing performance. I think I achieved the goal to have a great performance because we came 2nd.
I had an AMAZING camp. I felt great but sad at the same time when we had to leave because I didn't want to go. It was fun though! I can't wait until next year.

With MMA's rapid growth, there are new milestones seemingly being set all the time. Just this year alone, Anderson Silva and Jon Fitch tied the record for most consecutive wins in the UFC, James Irvin set the record for the fastest knockout and several members of this season's Ultimate Fighter Show set the unofficial record for acting like idiots. Tonight, the UFC will set another (positive) milestone with its "UFC Fight for the Troops" event. The fight card will be hosted at Fort Bragg, NC and features some up and coming stars including Josh Koscheck, Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Mike Swick. The money raised from the event will go to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and the Fisher House, a national network of homes at military and veterans hospitals where family members can stay free. The organizations' ultimate goal is to help build the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, a research facility that will be dedicated to treating troops who suffer from traumatic brain injuries. While many individual fighters do lots of great things in the community, this is the organization's first major event that will benefit someone other than themselves. This is just another step towards making the sport "legitimate" in the eyes of naysayers. Other sports leagues like the NFL, the NBA and Major League Baseball are famous for their charitable work and this event will hopefully go a long way towards establishing something similar in the UFC.
You can watch UFC Fight for the Troops tonight on SPIKE TV.

Tooling around the urban landscape isn't always easy in certain vehicles better suited to the open highway. But you don't need to restrict yourself to a tiny microcar in order to zip through the streets easily, maneuvering into tight parking spaces and successfully navigating city traffic.
Here are five used cars that are highly rated on a number of lists, including Consumer Reports, Edmunds, AOL Autos, Cars.com and others. As for whether they're the best used cars for city driving — only you can be the ultimate judge.
2011 Chevrolet Cruze – Feel safe and comfortable in the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze during a city drive thanks to 10 standard airbags, electronic stability and traction control, an interior that's more midsize in space than the compact car category the sedan occupies, and loads of other standard and available features. The five-seat Chevy Cruze, says Cars.com, has a "suspension that eats up potholes" in the city, a "sizable" backseat that accommodates friends or co-workers for a jaunt out for lunch or dinner, and gets from 22 to 28 mpg city fuel economy. Now, that's easy on the wallet.
2011 Ford Fiesta – Nimble, agile and a kick to drive (with the manual transmission), the 2011 Ford Fiesta is also economical at the pump, affording the driver between 28 and 29 mpg fuel economy in the city. In addition, the cabin is inviting. There are a slew of available high-end luxury features, including the Ford Sync system with app integration for a number of smartphones. An all-new subcompact when it debuted in the U.S. for 2011, the Ford Fiesta, available in hatchback and sedan styles, features a class-exclusive driver knee airbag. Edmunds calls the handling "excellent," the ride quality "supple," with "bumps and ruts swallowed sans drama."
2005-2010, 2011 Hyundai Elantra – Both Edmunds and Consumer Reports single out the 2011 Hyundai Elantra compact as a used car worth looking into, the former for the 2005 through 2010 model years, and the latter for the 2011 model year. Highlights include peppy performance, a smooth ride, solid build quality, reliability and decent operating economy. The Hyundai Elantra was redesigned in 2007, a wagon was added in 2009, and another redesign occurred for the 2011 model year. The distinctive styling, impressive up to 40 mpg fuel economy, high-quality interior and affordable price make the Hyundai Elantra a fine choice for city driving.
2011 Mazda Mazda3 – Although its top recommended small used car is the 2011 Honda Fit, for a more enjoyable driving experience, the editors at Consumer Reports recommend the 2011 Mazda Mazda3. AOL Autos touts the 22 mpg city/29 mpg highway fuel economy, 34-foot turning radius, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, advanced dual front airbags, warning lights for an array of functions, and many other driver-friendly features.
2011 Mini Cooper – It seems the Mini Cooper is a perennial favorite on a number of automotive lists for best used cars, including AOL Autos and Forbes. It's easy to see why. For safety's sake, the car is equipped with six standard airbags, electronic stability control, and rear parking sensors help in backing up or into those narrow and small parking spaces. As for fuel economy, the 28 mpg city/30 mpg highway will save dollars at the pump as well. Highlights include sharp handling, excellent all-around performance, especially in Cooper S and John Cooper Works models, and the fact that the Mini Cooper is easily customizable.

Nikki Sloane is an amazing author. This book far exceeded my expectations. I love the story of Jay and Kayla. I love how they were able to overcome adversity to be together. Kayla took a little longer than Jay, but I seriously love how when she fell, she fell hard.
This story was fun. I love football so it was right up my alley. I enjoyed the interaction between Kayla and Jay in the beginning. Her intimidating guys due to her football knowledge was hilarious. This whole story kept me entertained and wanting more. I want more Jay and Kayla in the future. I think we will need follow up books with the babies!!! Please check this story out. You will not be disappointed.

Chapter 7 containing sections 122 to 129 lay down the provisions relating to Gift of Property'. It refers to both immovable and movable properties. Subject matter is transfer of absolute interest in the property, immovable or movable. The notable point is there is no considerationfor transfer and gift of property is not valid and enforceable unless it is accepted by the donee(transferee.)

When a person transfers some property, movable or immovable to another voluntarily without consideration and same is accepted, it is called Gift.
It is a voluntary transfer of an absolute interest in the property, movable or immovable,without any consideration to another, and the same is accepted by the donee.
Also See - PAY PROPERTY TAX IN ZIRAKPUR
Section 122 of T.P Act defines 'giftis the transfer of certain existing movable or immovable property made voluntarily and without consideration by one person to another and accepted by or on behalf of the latter(done).
The person who transfers the property is called 'Donor' and the person to whom it is transferred is called 'Donee'. It is very essential that the acceptance of the gift shall take place during the lifetime of the done. Otherwise, it becomes void.

Section 123 of the Act deals with the mode of making gift. For making gift of an immovable property, the transfer must be effected by a registered instrument signed by two witnesses. With regard to the gift of movable property, registration is not compulsory but optional. It may be effected by mere delivery. Section 123 runs as follows:
"For the purpose of making a gift of immovable property, the transfer must be affected by a registered instrument signed by or on behalf of the donor, and attested by at least two witnesses.
For the purpose of making a gift of movable property, the transfer may be affected either by a registered instrument signed as aforesaid or by delivery.
Such delivery may be made in the same way as goods sold may be delivered.

As stated above, registration is compulsory in case of making gift of an immovable property and it is optional in case of movable. Now the question is whether non-registration of immovable property renders the gift ineffective? Registration of gift is not compulsory but optional, as held in the case of KalyanasundaramPillai vs. Karuppa .

The general rule is- gift once completed, cannot be suspended or revoked. However, Sec. 126 of The T.P Act provides for revocation of gift under the following two circumstances.
- In such a case if it was a contract voidable at the option of donor.
- If there is an agreement between donor and done to that effect.
Even if the gift is validly revoke in either of the cases stated above, the donor will not be able to recover the property if is passed into the hands of a bonafide transferee for consideration without notice.

i-VOID GIFTS:
The following gifts are declared void:
- Gift made for an unlawful purpose. (sec 6)
- Gift subject to condition and the fulfillment of which is impossible(sec 6), then it becomes void.
- If donee dies before acceptance (sec 122), it becomes void.
- Gift by a person incompetent to contract viz. Minor, lunatic etc. (sec 7) is void. (sec 11 of Indian contract act 1872)
Sec 127 deals with 'onerous gifts'. A gift always may not be beneficial in character. It may also create an obligation to the done. For instance 'A' has shares in company 'X' which is prosperous and also in company 'Y', which is in crisis. Dividend is expected from the former, while heavy calls (call in arrear) from the latter. If 'A' wants to give in gift to 'B' the shares of both companies 'X' & 'Y', it is called 'onerous gift'. 'B' (DONEE) has to accept both or refuse the both. But, he (B) cannot accept only the shares of 'X' company.
Section 128 speaks about Universal Donee. A universal done is one whom all the properties of donor have been given and is liable for all debts and liabilities of the donor at the time of the gift. If the property is only immovable, he is not a universal donee.
When a gift is made by a donor, when he was in critical condition, likely to cause his death, it is called 'Donatio Mortis Causa'.This Act deals with immovable property whereas the section 191 of Hindu Succession Act deals with the concept of movable property. This gift has no effect before the death of the donor.

Under section 122 of the T.P Act, '' Gift'' is the transfer of certain existing movable or immovable property made voluntarily and without consideration, by one person called the donor, to another person called the donee and accepted by or on behalf of the donee. The distinction between a conveyance and a gift lies in the nature of consideration. In respect of a conveyance, there is consideration by way of money, while in the case of gift, the consideration is natural love and affection. No gift can be made in respect of ancestral property;property should be the self- acquired one.

Drumm seeks more time on case due to jail's 'extreme constraints'
Former Anglo Irish Bank boss David Drumm has sought extra time to prepare a bankruptcy appeal because he was unable to work on the case while in solitary confinement over fears for his safety.
A lawyer for Mr Drumm said that due to the "extreme constraints" he was subjected to in prison, he had "been severely limited in his abilities to review the record and prepare the brief".
However, the bid to be allowed an additional eight weeks is to be contested by Mr Drumm's bankruptcy trustee Kathleen Dwyer and his main creditor, the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.
Ms Dwyer yesterday voiced concerns Mr Drumm may attempt to prolong the case by seeking further extensions.
Earlier this week, Mr Drumm said he intended to dismiss his legal team and act for himself.
The row comes as Mr Drumm, who has debts of around €11m, is seeking to overturn the decision of a bankruptcy judge to deny him protection from creditors.
He is currently being held at a maximum security prison awaiting extradition to Ireland and it is not yet known whether the bankruptcy dispute will delay his return.
Mr Drumm is set to face 33 criminal charges relating to his time at the helm of Anglo when he finally arrives back in Ireland.
In a filing to a US court, lawyer Edward McNally said Mr Drumm had to endure "a lengthy period of administrative segregation" after his arrest by US Marshals last October.
Administrative segregation is used by correctional facilities in Massachusetts when prison authorities need time to determine a safe place to put an inmate.
It generally involves the prisoner being kept in a solitary confinement unit for up to 23 hours a day.
Mr McNally made the disclosure in an affidavit filed with the US Court of Appeals.
The former Anglo chief executive is being held at the maximum security Plymouth County Correctional Facility south of Boston.
Mr McNally argued that Mr Drumm should be allowed an eight-week extension to a March 1 deadline to file papers in his bankruptcy appeal.
But in a legal filing, a lawyer for Ms Dwyer said that although an extension may be appropriate, both she and the IBRC "are concerned that Drumm may use multiple extension requests to further draw out the appeal".
Ms Dwyer said it was in the best interest of creditors for the case to be finalised.
"The longer this appeal continues, the more fees and costs are incurred by the estate and the more creditors must wait for their final distributions," the lawyer acting for Ms Dwyer said.
So far, creditors are in line to receive just 15pc of what they are owed. The IBRC has been offered just €1.6m of the €10.6m it is pursuing.

James Holmes and Toshi Yoshihara, associate professors of strategy at the US Naval War College, write on the much-quoted 'string of pearls' theory:
"A subset of the larger debate over Chinese sea power is Beijing's supposed quest for a 'string of pearls', or network of Indian Ocean naval bases. The term originated in a classified Booz Allen study and was popularized by the Washington Times in 2005.
"Few Indian Ocean specialists still view the string of pearls as a nascent base network … They are more apt to scoff at the term. So fierce was the backlash that Booz Allen undertook a new study of the concept in 2009, in an apparent effort to distance the firm from its own past work. Scales, it seems, fell from analysts' eyes.
"Today, the conventional wisdom seems to be that China will settle for access to 'places, not bases' in the Indian Ocean. If so, Beijing is negotiating agreements that grant Chinese vessels the right to call at ports like Gwadar, Hambantota, and Chittagong to rest, refuel, and perhaps refit.
"China entertains little desire for a wholly-owned base network comparable to the [US] outposts in Japan, Guam, Hawaii and elsewhere. In all likelihood, Chinese leaders are simply creating options for themselves—as prudent leaders do.
"If the Indian Ocean strategic environment remains nonthreatening ... Beijing can spare itself the expense and hassle of maintaining such [major] facilities."

Our server box is taking over lots of little download tasks for us. The next thing I wanted it to do is automatically get podcasts. Being a Ruby fan I knocked up a little script – it's handy having RSS reading as a core language library!
#!/ffp/bin/env ruby require 'open-uri' require 'rss' CONFFILE='/ffp/etc/mypodder.conf' PODCASTDIR='/mnt/HD_a2/podcasts' IO.readlines(CONFFILE).select{|l| l.strip.size > 0}.each do |feed| rss_content = "" open(feed) do |f| rss_content = f.read end rss = RSS::Parser.parse(rss_content, false) rss.items.each do |item| if(item.enclosure) iurl = item.enclosure.url ctitle = rss.channel.title.gsub(/\W/, '_') system("mkdir -p #{File.join(PODCASTDIR, ctitle)}") system("chmod a+rw #{File.join(PODCASTDIR, ctitle)}") ifile = File.join(PODCASTDIR, ctitle, File.basename(iurl)) unless File.exists?(ifile) puts "About to download #{iurl} as #{ifile}" system("wget -O #{ifile} #{iurl}") end end end end
All very well, but the server didn't have Ruby on it. I saw there was a Ruby package in Optware, so I followed the instructions to install Optware and installed the Ruby package.
On testing Ruby I got a message like this:
"can't load library 'librt.so.0'"
Fortunately some other people on the forum had encountered this. To resolve it I downloaded their attached librt files and copied them to the /ffp/lib directory.
The next step was to set up a cron job to run the download script. Due to how the dns323 is set up, the recommended way to do this is a startup script which edits the crontab when it runs. This backup script has an example
Unfortunately after doing that, I found my script wasn't running. It took a few experiments before I realized
cron wasn't setting up all of the
PATH I needed. So I wrote a 'cronhelper' script to set the PATH and wrap up logging for my cron jobs:
#!/bin/sh PATH=/ffp/sbin:/ffp/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin export PATH CRONLOG=/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/home/root/cronlog mydate=`date` echo >> $CRONLOG echo "*** $mydate" >> $CRONLOG $* >> $CRONLOG 2>&1
That seemed to do the trick.

Becky, visited the studio in June and these are some of the images taken during that shoot. The images are all 'off camera' with no major editing apart from some images being cropped.
Beckykat said...
First with Bobmac and my first shoot this year, so I was a little nervous but I was immediately put at ease in his spacious, brilliantly kitted out studio. Also great space to change and do hair/makeup. Bobmac was good fun to work with, highly creative and good suggestions and very encouraging. We got some amazing shots just looking at ones straight out the camera. Definitely highly recommended and look forward to work with him again.

Europe allows only 20kg
If you ever want to go to Europe, the first thing I'd recommend you do is check your baggage weight limit. I think ANY flights to Europe will allow you to check in baggages weighing a TOTAL of 20kg (yep, that's the total of the two bags you're allowed to checkin). To make things more … Continue reading Europe allows only 20kg
Computers and courses… (Sigh)
So I've been spending the past week trying to work out all these computer issues at work and at home. First it was red ants finding a home in my computer… don't know why but they just started to find a home in my computer. Luckily I wasn't able to get them out (hopefully all … Continue reading Computers and courses… (Sigh)
Getting back to the routine
Well after what feels like 3 weeks of craziness, I'm slowly getting back to my routine of eat, sleep, work, study, reading… The past week and a bit threw me off my finely-tuned system of getting as much done as possible within a 24-hour period. Not counting my social life (which coincidently enough is almost … Continue reading Getting back to the routine
Coca Cola turns BLAK
Coca Cola introduced a mid-calorie drink supposedly to be healthier than the original. For all the health nuts out there and for the "trendy" 20-somethings who don't want to b e seen as kids hopped up on caffeine with rotting teeth, I think Coke has found a niche market. I thought the US website was … Continue reading Coca Cola turns BLAK
Langauge Barriers
So I've been trying to sign up for various courses in Bangkok, which have been advertised in English, but guess what, when I call or email the people in charge, they tell me the course is in Thai. My Thai isn't that great but it's not that bad either, so I think if I tried … Continue reading Langauge Barriers

A reload bonus is described as a cash bonus, offered to gamers who have credited their accounts, but since been dormant. A reload bonus is usually lower than the welcome bonus and can be provided multiple times to the player. The goal of this bonus is to encourage inactive gamers back into playing real money games.
There are two forms of reload bonuses; one that is tied to the first deposit, and one offered to gamers who have previously deposited money into their accounts but have stayed for a long time without playing. Like with all bonuses, a reload bonus comes with its terms and conditions, that you need to read and understand.

I have, once again, taken up the habit of eating too much chocolate. Once I am cured from this flu, I will compensate it by going to the gym to work out every Wednesday and Saturday, and go to the same gym every evening to walk on the treadmill for an hour. I might also start going to the swimming pool; about a year earlier I had given up swimming, because I only managed to swim for about one or two times to end and back, and by then I was achy and tired and it made me grumpy. Now that I am physically and mentally better and healthier and fitter, I might renew my membership again.
I would love eating more fruits and vegetables, whether fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, but I cannot afford them. Here where I live, vegetables and fruits alike are very expensive.
I had planned to go to Pearl House on Monday, but I was having such intriguing dreams that I slept all the way to six o'clock in the evening. I got up to take my morning medicine, drink coffee, put on a fresh nightshirt, and go back to bed after taking my evening medicine.
Today I slept all the way to noon, because I was still having interesting dreams.
I got up, took my morning medicine, put on clothes, drank coffee, and logged in to my online bank account to see if I had received the monthly allowance. Yes I had, but I still hadn't received my weekly allowance from the social office. Here's to hoping I will start receiving it next month.
I called my mother and asked her if I can come over, they said it's alright.
I travelled to my parents' home, once there I had coffee and buns with my mother, and used their laptop to pay for my Spotify Premium and Microsoft Word subscription. I also ordered two necklaces from Etsy.com; one with a piece of green glass that has been found from an ocean, and an Overwatch necklace with a Junkrat theme; a fiery yellow "diamond" and a hand grenade- shaped silver- plated pendant.
Me and mom walked to Hometown, where mom withdrew cash and gave me the weekly allowance.
I went to the stationery shop and bought a roll of packing tape that I can use to fasten pictures on the walls. Then I went to the supermarket and bought two big bars of chocolate, a toilet brush, a pair of rubber gloves for washing the dishes and another pair for housecleaning.
I also bought a gift for Zoya, and a visited Flying Tiger to buy them another gift (I almost wrote "gif" on both times because I am used to pronounce it with a silent T!)
I went back home, put everything to their rightful places, and ate some chocolate.
Later the day I travelled to the youth group in Late Winds, I had a good time there. My friend, a counsellor from Pearl House, called me. I must visit that place soon.
Later the day I travelled to Helsinki, and went to a jewellery shop where I bought a gift for Zoya and a necklace for myself.
I went to an eco- market and bought two Humble Brush toothbrushes and two vegan sausages for a snack.
I travelled back to Hometown, and went to a clothing shop to buy two gifts for Zoya.
Once back home, I wrapped up the gifts. I ran out of those stickers where you write the receiver's name and stick them on the gift package. They were actually meant for jam jars and other packages where you store food, I might start buying those gift tags made from carton.
I took out the recycling, and washed a duvet cover. I took it to the downstairs drying room and fetched last weekend's laundry at the same time.
I should do more housework every day, not only on weekends.
I wonder why I feel so speedy and manic and angry. My period is over for this month, but it might be my blood sugar.
I set my alarm clock to ring at six o'clock tomorrow morning. I really cannot predict if I will be awake that early, but I hope I will.
I need to go to the health center and talk to a nurse about my health; I have to book an appointment for allergy tests (I have allergy symptoms all around the year, and I don't know why), blood tests (I want to find out if I have diabetes or hypoglycaemia or if there's something wrong with my thyroid gland), dental health (I want to book an annual appointment with a dentist), and burning fat and losing weight (because I want to, not because I have to).
Then I will go to the social security institution to apply for income support for the next month.
Then I will go to Pearl House, and I have to be home by three o'clock in the afternoon because Eleclya will come for a visit.

The Shepherd Rams (9-11,7-1 MEC) split a two game series against conference opponent West Virginia Wesleyan (6-14, 5-3 MEC).
In the first game, the Rams defeated the Bobcats 7-4. Behind an RBI-double by sophomore Brian McCourt and a sacrifice fly by freshman Brenton Doyle, the Rams jump to and early 2-0 lead in the second inning. With momentum on their side, the Shepherd Rams added four more runs in the third inning behind a two-run homerun from Chase Hoffman and an RBI-double from Brenton Doyle. JJ Sarty also contributed with a RBI single.
The Bobcats would not be denied and would rally. Wesleyan was able to get on the score board as a Hunter Rotarius was hit by a pitch and would later score on a single by Dominic Castello.
Scoring three runs in the seventh inning, the Bobcats felt like they were back in the game, but Senior Brandon Kirk put the game away after blasting a solo-shot homerun.
Junior Ryan Panash (7.0 IP, 9H, 4ER, 7 K, 1BB) earned the win for the Rams.
The Rams and Bobcats would play again. This time, thing were a little different. Wesleyan jumped to an early three run lead in the third inning on just five hits. The Bobcats would do 3-3 at bat in the fourth inning to extend the lead 6-0. The Rams tried to fight back adding a solo homer from senior Sarty and an RBI-single from senior Ron Farley. With much effort given, the Rams could not cut the lead. With a two home runs and and RBI being hit, the Bobcats were able to seal the victory.
Senior pitcher John Bentley (4.0IP, 8H, 6 R, 5 ER, 1 K, 2 BB) took the loss for the Rams.
The Shepherd Baseball team is back in action on Tuesday, March 28th, for a double-header home contest against Shippensburg at 1 p.m.

Wolfie Starfire, also known as Meg Groves in real life, is an up-and-coming artist who grew up surrounded by music, theatre, and art. She took interest in theatre at a young age, and aspired to be successful in the worlds of both music and film. She took many singing, acting and dance classes, and she dabbled in the film and commercial industries. Her desires are entirely based on some day becoming an acclaimed songwriter like Taylor Swift and an acclaimed singer and actress like Kristen Chenoweth. Meg completed a BFA in Acting at Coastal Carolina University in 2017.
With her love of music firmly in tow (and hoping to share her music with others), Wolfie released her first album, Spark, which is a heartfelt blend of contemporary pop, country, and blues, with a musical ability that belies her young age. She has a gift for writing her own music and lyrics, which are inspirational, thoughtful and moving. This ensures that more than a few of her songs will get stuck in your head while you listen to each of her tracks.
Wolfie believes that music should tell a story or a lesson in life, which leads her to write songs that have real meaning and lyrics that others can relate to them. This makes sure that each song expresses how she feels, while still encouraging each listener to discover what each song can mean to themselves.
Wolfie is available Off Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 12pm-9pm SLT, Fridays between 12pm-4pm SLT, Saturdays 11am-8pm SLT. and Sundays 11am-7pm.

The Economic Development Department oversees the City of Austin's incentive and loan programs that support job creation and the growth of new and existing businesses. This page provides tables that summarize commonly-requested information about the incentives and loans the department has awarded under these programs.
The City of Austin's Chapter 380 Economic Development Program provides performance-based incentives to qualifying companies with a competitive relocation or expansion project that will make a significant investment in Austin.
The City of Austin offers incentives to qualifying film, television, video game, and visual effects projects equal to 0.50% of wages paid to local workers. Projects produced by an Austin-based company or which significantly promote Austin may be eligible for an additional 0.25% incentive for a total incentive of 0.75%.
The Media Production and Development Zone (MPDZ) incentive, administered by the Texas Film Commission, is a two-year exemption on sales and use taxes normally charged on the construction, maintenance, expansion, improvement, renovation, and equipping of a media production facility.
As the Nominating Body, the City is responsible for recognizing a media development zone, nominating the land as a media production location, and submitting the exemption application to the state on behalf of the Requestor. After receiving an economic impact analysis from the Comptroller of Public Accounts and a favorable recommendation from its industry advisory committee, the Texas Film Commission approves development zones recognized by, and designates production locations nominated by, a Nominating Body.
The City of Austin can nominate a limited number of companies each year for the State of Texas' Texas Enterprise Zone Program. This program does not require a cash incentive from the City. If so designated, an enterprise project is eligible for a refund of State sales and use taxes based on employment criteria and the amount invested. It is not necessary for such a project to be located in an "Enterprise Zone" to receive such benefits. Enterprise projects not located in an Enterprise Zone are required to fill at least 35% of new jobs with individuals who are economically disadvantaged, or reside in State identified "Qualifying Census Block Groups". The State also requires that the nominating local government identify economic development incentives that may be offered to the project.
