One of my clients asked me how much a fence would cost, and I decided to see if there was a way to estimate the cost online.
I came across the Fence Online website, and tried it out. What I liked about it was that they asked for my zip code, so hopefully they adjust the cost based on local supplies and labor costs.
Here's the link to the fence estimator.
If you try it, let me know how the estimates compare to your actual costs.

Pupils' chances of gaining top qualifications at school is dramatically skewed between rich and poor areas, it is claimed.
In one part of Grimsby, just seven per cent of 16-year-olds finished compulsory education with five decent GCSEs, including the key subjects of English and mathematics.
The Conservatives said the disclosure was a "tragedy" and proved Labour had failed pupils in the poorest areas.
But the Government insisted that the overall gap between rich and poor had been narrowed in the last 12 years following a multi-billion pound drive to boost standards.
In the latest study, the Tories analysed data from the Office for the National Statistics. It publishes information – including exam results – focusing on 6,780 communities in England. Each "middle layer super output area" contains some 7,000 people.
According to figures, only six out of 87 teenagers in an area of Grimsby – including part of the deprived East Marsh ward – gained five decent GCSEs last year.
In one area on the outskirts of Kidderminster, only 10.2 per cent of pupils gained good results, the Tories said. In two areas of Bristol, 11.6 per cent made the grade in 2008, while numbers were as low as 12.5 per cent in one part of Leicester. Around 13 per cent of pupils left school with five good GCSEs in parts of Portsmouth, Southampton, Stockton-on-Tees and Liverpool, according to the Conservatives.
Michael Gove, the shadow schools secretary, said: "It's a tragedy that so many children in some of the most deprived areas of the country are not getting the same opportunities as others. The teachers and pupils in these areas are working hard to improve results but we want to give them more help.
"Teachers need more powers to keep order in the classroom because without good standards of behaviour no proper learning can take place. And we need to sweep away the bureaucracy which stops teachers from doing their jobs."
The Tories have pledged to allow new schools to be set up by private organisations or groups of parents – with funding skewed towards the very poorest communities.
But the Government insisted that existing policies were narrowing the gap between rich and poor pupils. It included more one-to-one tuition in English and maths and a rise in the number of semi-independent academy schools in deprived postcodes.
Over the last seven years, exam results increased by 26 percentage points among pupils eligible for free meals - the standard measure of deprivation - compared with 19 percentage points among other children.
Dawn Primarolo, the Children's Minister, said: "Closing the gap between children from poorer families and the rest is our top priority. That's why I am pleased that the historic link between deprivation and attainment is slowly but surely being broken. The gap between the poorest children and the rest is narrowing year on year and schools in poorer areas are now improving faster than any other schools, not least thanks to the extra investment we have put in."

Microsoft squashes IE on Spoon, users tweet their displeasure
Reaction to news this week that Microsoft has put the kibosh on Internet Explorer virtualization was … well … let's say colorful. The issue is centered on Spoon.net, a company/website that (by way of virtualization) allows developers to run desktop applications over the Internet, thus providing an easy way to build and test apps on browsers like Firefox and IE. Well, until now that is.
As my colleague Bridget Botelho reported, Microsoft sent a letter to the folks at Spoon requesting that IE be removed from its list of virtualized apps. Essentially, Microsoft does not support the virtualization of IE because it's a part of the Windows operating system. By providing virtualized IE on its site, the company claimed that Spoon was violating Microsoft's "intellectual property rights".
Spoon complied and removed IE from its list of options (though somewhat begrudgingly). Users and developers, however, haven't gone so quietly. "There was an explosion of rage on Twitter from developers," Spoon CEO Kenji Obata said in the story cited above. "I have never seen such a virulent response to something before. I have learned curse words in multiple languages."
He wasn't joking. Here 's an expanded list of some of the more telling (and entertaining) quotes from those in the Twitter-verse – at least the ones we could print:
OK Microsoft – fine if u request IE be removed from spoon.net – just give us a way to run *every version* on *1 machine* W/O virtualization!
Spoon.net's removal of IE sort of forces our hand in terms of abandoning IE6 completely.
So, anything sensible to say about you guys forcing Spoon.net to remove IE? You don't need our web apps in IE?
Thanks Microsoft for demanding Spoon.net remove IE versions from their browser sandbox. #sarcasm
@microsoft can go to hell for making @spoonapps remove the IE apps from spoon.net
I can no longer use spoon for IE testing due to Microsoft being typically malicious and asking for it to be removed….why oh why
What. Microsoft asked http://spoon.net/ to take IE support down. Way to go, as if web development for IE wasn't bad enough already.
#spoon #microsoft Today i am disapointed, no IE testing for me…
How stupid does Microsoft have to be? Bring back IE on spoon.net!
Hey #Microsoft thx 4 forcing spoon.net 2 remove all IE versions from their browser sandbox. God forbid we have a test tool 2 support ur crap
Microsoft requested the removal of IE from http://www.spoon.net/browsers ?! Nooooooo!
@spoonapps why? MS ruined my day, please let us spoon IE again, even against it's parents will!
how should developers react to msft amazing decision of removing IE from spoon.net's virtual browsers? stop support for IE all together?
Testing website's in IE using spoon.net? Well not any more thanks to Micro$oft!
Grrrrr! @microsoft return #IE support to @spoonapps how else can we code support for your crap? http://spoon.net/browsers/ #SpoonIE
I'll be completely dropping support for IE<9 on my site if MS keeps IE removed from spoon.net. Not worth supporting anymore.
What the hell MS!? Why did u have http://spoon.net remove IE browsers? Was so easy testing multiple IE instances
OH NO! Microsoft made @spoonapps remove ie from their toolbox! This is horrible. I'm at a total loss. http://spoon.net/browsers/
Wow, I hate Microsoft. Now I can't use Spoon to test a website in other IE versions?
OMG, how can M$ remove IE from #Spoon? Do they NOT WANT developers to debug for IE? I MEAN, SERIOUSLY!! FINE, I WON'T.
IE IS REMOVED FROM SPOON?! Come on M$, the _ONLY_ useful tool to debug multiple IE vers, and you shut it down?? WTFH?!?!!!!
@microsoft – you've just removed the only reason why we were still supporting your crippled browsers:
Why has Microsoft demanded removal of their browsers from http://spoon.net/browsers/ ? They were used by devs to improve IE user experiance.
@Microsoft Could you for once NOT p— developers off? What's the point of removing IE off Spoon.net? We NEED it to test!
And just think, we didn't even post the REALLY ugly ones. Gartner's Neil MacDonald called for Microsoft to reconsider its stance on IE virtualization back in September. As of this week, it's clear he has a lot more company.

CNBC's Rick Santelli in 60 seconds Tuesday perfectly described the difference between the Tea Party and the Occupy movement.
Responding to a question from "Squawk Box" guest host Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, Santelli dispelled the notion that "the Tea Party's done" (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):
RICK SANTELLI: While the vandals are on the street corners, the Tea Party conservatives they're working state houses, the governorships, the mayorships, the Senate, the House. See, they understand, they've read the Constitution. If you want to make a difference, don't go break windows, okay? Break some phony arguments that things like austerity are going to put you in the hole. What put you in the hole is borrowing 38 cents of every dollar you spent. That's what put you in the hole, pure and simple. Everything else is political spin.
Associate Editor's note: As you are likely aware, since the financial collapse of 2008, charities and non-profit organizations have seen a sharp reduction in donations. Although the environment has improved, contributions are still nowhere near where they were prior to the recession. Unfortunately, the Media Research Center has not been immune. With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight. Any contribution, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Media Research Center to help us battle the liberal media. Thank you.

Rockies news: Helton returns, Nelson's heart OK, Chacin to begin rehab assignment
Some notes of note from the clubhouse before the Rockies host the Reds Friday night at Coors Field:
* Todd Helton is back in the lineup and starting at first base. He'll hit fifth. To make room for Helton, the Rockies optioned right-hander Edward Cabrera to Triple-A.
"It feels better and it doesn't hurt while I'm sitting here," Helton said of his problematic right hip. "We'll see how it goes tonight."
Helton has been on the DL since July 13 (retroactive until July 9).
Manager Jim Tracy said the plan is for Helton to carry a load similar to what he was carrying prior to going on the disabled list.
* Infielder Chris Nelson, on the disabled list after suffering an irregular heartbeat, has been cleared to resume baseball activities.
"I'm back running, everything is good to go," said Nelson, who was hospitalized on July 16 and placed on the disabled list on July 17. "I've been cleared for everything and I've been hitting for a couple of days."
Dr. Allen Schreiber, the Rockies' team physician, checked Nelson out and determined the the irregular heart beat was the result of dehydration, too much caffeine from Red Bull and stress.
"It was kind of like a perfect storm," said Nelson, who admitted the incident scared him.
* Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin will begin his minor-league rehab assignment this week with High-A Modesto.
"Right now we have roughly four starts planned out for him," Tracy said. "We want to ramp him up to about 90 pitches as we go through the course of the rehab."
The plan is for Chacin to make one start with Modesto, two with Double-A Tulsa and a final tuneup with Triple-A Colorado Springs.
* Regarding Tyler Colvin's slump (2-for-17 on the recent road trip), Tracy said: "He is in a decline. What I see him doing right now is rushing to hit. Everything looks like it's in a big hurry."
Here are the lineups for Friday night's game:
Reds 58-40
SS Zack Cozart
CF Drew Stubbs
2B Brandon Phillips
RF Jay Bruce
LF Ryan Ludwick
3B Scott Rolen
1B Todd Frazier
C Ryan Hanigan
RHP Bronson Arroyo
Rockies (37-60)
CF Dexter Fowler
2B Marco Scutaro

Football Fanatic gameplay video loading, please wait...

We haven't found any digital download available at this moment.
No classic box available at the moment.
Soccer shareware done right
Sure, there are soccer games out there galore, and everyone has their favorites, but when it comes to actually shareware releases from back in the way, the number of contenders and options is by no means as high as one could wish for. So, with that in mind, try and consider this game here, Football Fanatic which really is on par with its fully retail brethren of the era, though it offers a good chunk of itself for free. The game however is best experienced unlocked, as you'd expect, when it unleashes a flurry of options, game modes and additional bits and pieces, things that some would like, but many can do without as well, especially if you don't plan on playing it extensively. At any rate, graphically, as you'd expect, there are some differences, say, between a game such as Championship Manger and this one game here, but they are to be expected, and also, truth be told, they don't impact the playability of the game not one iota. Overall, I know, whether it is a shareware game or not, modern gamers will not care much, but it just goes to show that great games were possible even in absence of million dollar budgets, which I think is the point this game makes, a good enough reason, from my point of view to actually want to try it.
European football fantasy game
Football Fanatic is a late 90's European football fantasy game. It may be hard to get use to at first, however once a player gets into it they will be hooked instantly. The player picks a team in the EFL and becomes the Coach/GM of the teams operations. As coach the player must organize finances, player development, youth/reserve roster programs, player contracts, medical funding, staff, stadium capacity and facilities, game day tactics, starting line-up, and much much more. it is a very realistic Fantasy Football game, and i rate it a 5 out of 5. Try it out! Give it time, and you'll be hooked! hopefully someday, thunderbear software comes back, and makes a new football fanatic. Fantastic game.

When I started karate, I had never spent more than a few moments feeling fear. Sure, there were things in my life I did not look forward to, like punishment and the like from my childhood years, but fear was never really a part of it. More like duty or acceptance. This is going to suck, but then there is tomorrow, and everything will be all right. I have often looked back at my childhood and young adulthood, the parts that I can remember, (I don't remember much - I have TBI, which has robbed my of most of my long term memory and much of my short term memory - for more about this, click Here.) and I have determined that I always felt safe and loved. Safe because either I absolutely trusted my family to keep me safe, no matter what, or later on, because I rested on my own power and knew that I was safe because I had always made it so. There had never been a problem I could not turn into a positive, generally without thought or plan. Kinda like Midas' magic fingers. I could make me and anyone around me feel alright. So, having personal experience with being able to convert apocalypse into sunny beaches, I swallowed a Big Lie that I have still not been able to shake, even unto today. The lie that I learned within the first few hours of resuming my martial arts training after my injury was, "FEAR is not real. It stand for False Evidence Appearing Real."
|Photo - Used by Permission www.GoodJobNotes.com
I had begun to rationalize the fear into one of my steady state conditions, paranoia, by waking up each day, telling myself that it was False Evidence Appearing Real. In other words, I was paranoid, because this could not really happen, and I was really safe. I just thought I was at risk. I knew that I had not done anything wrong and they, meaning the insurance company, knew that. At some point, this situation really had to go away. Yet, for years and years, it only got worse. I lost contact with my wife, daughter, karate, faith and myself. I was physically there, I just was not present. I watched movies and ate. I hated myself and contemplated, even planned a few times, how to end my own life. I talked to my pastors, who only told me to hold on and it would work out. In other words, they told me that it was False Evidence Appearing Real too. Just hang on.
Then my mental health councilor told me that it was NOT paranoia, but rather I was afraid of a real risk. Real evidence appearing real. Victory. I was right all along. They really were coming to get me.
Not really. My heart sank even further. I had nothing left to hang onto. They were really coming to get me and there really was nothing for me to do. Hope had been banished from the building.
Yet, though I did in fact lose both my income and my car forever, I did not lose everything. I had forgotten one very important thing. I forgot that I was NOT alone. God was with me. Zechariah 4:6 (NIV) "So he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty."
The evidence was real enough. They were after me. What I had forgotten was that is was not by my own power through which salvation came. I could not defense myself, for the first time I could remember in my life. I was literally standing in the storm, and the water was coming toward my mouth. My only choice was stand and wait for the end to come, which was not far off, or end the pain and duck under the waves. I not only considered ducking under the waves, I actually planed it. I might have actually tried to duck under the waves, but that is a different story. In the end, my wife, daughter and fellow martial artists propped me up long enough for me to see the life boat coming. When the insurance company finally dropped the suit, I was thinking about God, "took you long enough to rescue me." What I missed was that I WAS rescued. God is outside of time. He already knew he was beside me. He already knew how he was going to pull me out. I just did not trust him to do it. I needed it to be on my time, my schedule my way. I even tried to do it myself, by saying over and over to myself, "False Evidence Appearing Real," hoping I could save myself by just accepting that I had made choices that I could now change. I was so busy trying to save myself or lamenting my "fate," I forgot to invite my God into my problem. He already knew what the problem was, and compared the stuff he has to deal, it was puny. I forgot that FEAR was the problem, and I needed to tell my FEAR that my God was bigger than it.
God is the solution, for sure. I know that now. Why is it, then, that I am at this very moment terrified of what might happen tomorrow? I would like to say that it is my brain injury, but that would be telling my FEAR that it is false. It is not false. The world is a horrible and broken place, and there are few you can lean on and rely on. I am blessed to be able to rely on my wife and daughter, though I forget that more than I remember it. However, what I did not remember or know until this very day, this very moment, was that God already has already solved it. I just am not paying attention. I FEAR what may happen so much, I forget to worship at the feet of Jesus, and instead worship at the feet of the monetary system that rules our world. I keep letting my solutions run through my mind. I could feel the boat bumping up against me while I stood within the storm, but all I felt was annoyance. I actually, metaphorically speaking, looked at the boat as an unwelcome distraction, batting it away in my mind.
So today I bring the solution to YOU and to my life. Instead of bringing my list of woe and pain to the Lord, as a menu of things I need from him, I will instead bring my God to my problems. I am not telling you to stop communicating to God about your problems. Far from it. He already knows for sure, but any solid relationship involves honest and direct communication. We are supposed to lay our problems at his feet. So lay them out. Yet, the power is in the faith, not in the action of telling him the problems. God IS on the job. Bring him into your loop. Bring him INTO the problem.
How, you may ask?
Open the freaking door. Sometimes, in order to understand how God works his spiritual will in our physical world, actually physical actions help us see it happen. Physically, with your left or right hand, reach up and act out opening a door. Sure, it is going to look strange. People might see you pantomiming, and you without your white face paint, you are going to look strange, but do it anyway. Open the door, and look in. If your fear is anything like mine, you can see, feel, smell, taste and maybe hear it. There it is. The bible, the very word of God, promises us that if you open the door, God will walk in. As you are looking in, you should smile at your fear, because your God is already there. I actually said, "I'm sorry, but you have already lost. FEAR, this is my God", and turned my back and walked away.
Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
When Jesus said this, we has talking about Spiritual Power and Spiritual Salvation. Remember the verse Zechariah 4:6 above, where the Lord told Zerubbabel that the oil would burn endlessly because of God's Spiritual Power? God acted in the physical world with Spiritual Power. We tend to make our God too small, and say, because science tends to deny spiritual power, that God's actions are only in the spiritual part of our existence. We do that, in spite of knowing that Paul and Peter brought people back to life, gave them back their ability to walk and see. We do that because our faith is far smaller than a mustard seed, and we are worshiping our FEAR. Stop it. Open the door. Physically open the door, and introduce your FEAR to your GOD. Then, by faith, turn you back and walk away, because the boat is already there to rescue you and your FEAR prevented you from see it.
Back to the email I got that I mentioned at the beginning. You probably would now see that I am pushing the point that God can do anything. That God turned the whole thing around for those two in the truck. But, when I saw this picture, I too saw that, as the email directed me to see.
I was wrong. My GOD was far too small. I cropped GOD right out of the picture, so to speak. look now at the real picture, and see how big your GOD really is.

Should Christians Be Anarchists?
In The Kingdom of God is Within You, Leo Tolstoy wrote that: "Christianity in its true sense puts an end to the State. It was so understood from its very beginning, and for that Christ was crucified."[1] This illustrates the main idea behind Christian anarchism, which is that when it comes to politics, "anarchism" is what follows (or is supposed to follow) from "Christianity". "Anarchism" here can mean, for example, a denunciation of the state (because through it we are violent, we commit idolatry, and so on), the envisioning of a stateless society, an anticlerical distrust of religious authorities, and/or the enacting of an inclusive, bottom-up kind of community life. And "Christianity" can be understood, for example, in the very rationalistic way Leo Tolstoy interprets it, through the Catholic framework Dorothy Day approaches it, or through the various Protestant eyes of people like Jacques Ellul, Vernard Eller, Dave Andrews or Michael Elliott. There can therefore be many ways "Christianity" is interpreted, and equally there are many facets to this "anarchism". But one way or the other, Christian anarchists hold the view that, properly understood, what Jesus implicitly calls us to in today's political sphere is some form of anarchism. That position is what defines "Christian anarchism".
Several authors have advanced this argument that "Christianity" implies "anarchism". By and large, they focus on textual interpretation of the New Testament to develop their argument. There are many scriptures from the New Testament which provide the foundation for such a view, and I can only mention the main ones here (I've tried to cover all those commented on by Christian anarchists in my book). Arguably, all the passages that do touch on politics point to facets of anarchism. The most famous must be the Sermon on the Mount, but much of its content is repeated in the many passages in which Jesus, James, Peter or Paul talk of forgiveness, of being servants or of not judging one another – the state does not do that (or rather we don't do that through it), and if we did it then the state would anyway become redundant. There is also the third temptation in the desert, a pretty clear condemnation of state idolatry. Or the Temple Cleansing, where Jesus' direct action clearly implies a denunciation of the concentration and abuses of religious, political and economic power (and most Christian anarchists insist the action was nonviolent, by the way). Then there are all the bitter criticisms of the Pharisees as hypocrites in their application of divine law, criticisms that don't seem that inapplicable to some church authorities today. Jesus' arrest and trial also exemplify his attitude with respect to political authorities, and his crucifixion embodies both his condemnation of state violence and his forgiving alternative to overcome it. Then there is the Book of Acts, the many Epistles, and of course the Apocalypse – all of which one can find convincing Christian anarchist exegeses on. In other words, according to quite a few passages in the New Testament, Jesus' teaching and example tend towards anarchism broadly defined.
It must be noted that two passages are frequently brought up as "clear evidence" against such Christian anarchist interpretations: Romans 13 and "render unto Caesar". Neither can be discussed in enough depth here. But to hint at the explanation of these offered by Christian anarchists, regarding the former, Paul (who didn't, by the way, always strictly obey the authorities of his day) is really just offering his interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount, of Jesus' call to forgive and love even the worst of enemies – just as he did by submitting to the Cross. Romans 13 does not legitimise authorities but calls to submit to them as a way of turning the other cheek, to overcome their evil not through violent resistance but with an exemplary attitude that seeks to patiently understand and forgive. As to "render unto Caesar", the coins are Caesar's to claim back, but beyond that, little else "belongs to Caesar". What is not Caesar's but God's, however, includes life and indeed pretty much anything but coins and public monuments. Hence Jesus here calls us to clearly distinguish what really matters from the fickle things that are technically Caesar's. Again, this is just a very brief summary of what can be said about these passages, but it provides a taster to their Christian anarchist interpretation. The other New Testament passages raised against Christian anarchists are usually those where Jesus is said by some to have been violent or to condone violence, yet a careful (Christian anarchist) reading suggests that these allegations don't really stand – or certainly don't hold the monopoly over the truth about these passages.
If the Christian anarchist reading of the New Testament is correct, though, then how come so few Christians are anarchists? There are many elements to this answer. For one, what Christian anarchism asks of us is seen by many as simply too demanding, too ambitious, too utopian. Several layers of official theology have also claimed that Jesus didn't really mean this for us here and now, but only for the hereafter (as if there would be any point voicing such demands if that was the case, to convey but one response to this copout). Moreover, it's difficult not to agree with Christian anarchists that Jesus' radical political demands were betrayed by almost all official churches and their theologians as they became more established and institutionalised. What Jesus calls us to is scary in that it is unknown. It seems easier to "stay with the devil we know". To follow Jesus requires faith in love, faith in the power of love to transform human relationships. In short: Christian anarchism seems near impossible, and the official churches have worked hard to convince us that Jesus didn't really call us to such a radical political path anyway.
Despite this, however, there are many examples of Christian anarchist political action, including over the past few years. Since 9/11, for instance, Christian anarchists have conducted public "liturgies", taken part in direct action and joined broader coalitions to denounce the many angles of the "War on Terror", from Afghanistan and Iraq to domestic restrictions on civil liberties. So, for example: they have "turned into ploughshares" US military warplanes passing through Shannon airport; poured blood outside the DSEi Arms Fair; blockaded Northwood and Faslane; read names of war victims outside Downing Street; "exorcised" the MoD; and campaigned in support of wiki-whistleblower Chelsea Manning. But they've been just as engaged in denouncing: the origins of the financial crisis and the consequences of "our" government's reactions to it; the worsening global environmental catastrophe; the continuing tragedy which sees human beings die in the thousands to seek a better life at the heart of the empire only to be beaten back, imprisoned and sometimes killed while being deported; and of course the unequal political economy which relentlessly produces all this and seems so difficult to truly reform. All this, they have done at huge personal costs – with many arrested and tried, sometimes imprisoned and fined, while the mainstream media are busy pumping adverts and looking elsewhere.
But you can find examples of if not anarchism, at least anarchist tendencies right back to the first Christians. The early churches were persecuted at least in part because they were politically subversive, though they were later co-opted by the Roman authorities and turned into instruments of imperial power. In the late Middle Ages, several millenarian movements and protestant sects (such as the Anabaptists, the Mennonites, the Hussites and the Quakers) endeavoured to apply some of the radical political aspects of Jesus' teachings. Some of these survive today, although they often compromised their goals in the face of persecution. There are also both ancient and more recent examples of conscientious objectors inspired by Jesus' example of love and non-resistance. More recently, the Catholic Worker movement, founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin in the 1930s, has strived to embody the Christian anarchist society that Jesus described through its network of houses of hospitality, through its regular publications and through its involvement in public demonstrations. In short, there are plenty of examples, past and present, of radical Christians whose politics tends towards anarchism.
Many Christian anarchists point out that the "church" was meant to be an intentional community (willingly joined through baptism and only upon repentance) of people who chose to take up their cross and follow Jesus, a community bound to be as threatening to contemporary authorities as Jesus was, a radically different community of love, care and justice which would enlighten an otherwise very dark world. That cannot unfortunately be said of that many churches to date. And yet radical Christian offshoots have arisen over the centuries, inspired by one another and by Jesus' anarchist teaching and example. From the Jesus Radicals to Occupy Faith to Catholic Worker communities, numerous Christians today continue to follow in those footsteps, denouncing state violence and state worship, bypassing the state to embed relationships of care and hospitality from the bottom up. These are all examples of "Christians" who come to a position typically framed as "anarchist" in political theory – a stance which is both religious and political, and which is also deeply subversive of both at the same time.

This weekend was full of ups and downs- too many (unpaid) extra hours at work, sleeping in on Saturday, one of the worst runs of my life (truly terrible), pancakes, baking delicious cupcakes and St. Patrick's Day festivities.
I don't want to talk about the work and I definitely don't want to talk about the run so let's just jump forward to the cupcakes.
Oh the cupcakes!
We had plans to go to a St. Patrick's day party yesterday and I knew I wanted to bring a delicious treat. Enter Irish Car Bomb cupcakes. Guinness in the cake, Irish whiskey in the filling and Bailey's in the frosting. Yes, please!
I found a recipe from the Brown Eyed Baker on Pinterest and was quite pleased with it. I made a few changes throughout (plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, double the whiskey in the ganache filling and less butter and powdered sugar in the frosting). These are definitely not healthy nor for the faint of heart, but there were perfectly moist and a HUGE hit at the party.
You make the cupcake batter and bake the cupcakes as you normally would.
You then cut out the centers (going about 2/3 of the way down) to fit in the filling. K. was happy to help with this part as he mostly just popped the center pieces right into his mouth.
And finally you frost the cupcake! I'm no whiz with a pastry bag but I think they turned out pretty enough.
Our friends seriously gobbled them up in no time. Although my St.Patrick's day didn't involve any green beer these were festive (and strong!) and got the job done 😉

With the advent of new Foreign Trade Policy, the export oriented businesses have received a positive message from the Government's side.Though the industry welcomed this new draft of FTP, it is keeping the fingers crossed for witnessing the actual signs of economic recovery.
It is a good sign that people have at least started talking about signals of economic recovery. Even as the export sector is showing signs of recovery, a survey by an industry body has revealed that a complete recovery for India's crisis-stricken exports sector would happen only by the year-end.'
India's exports fell 26 percent from a year earlier in July, while the country's imports during July fell 35 percent. Meanwhile merchandise exports had slipped 27.7 percent from an year earlier in June to $12.81 billion, after falling 29.2 percent in July 2009. The new Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) proposed by the UPA Govt has 'feel good factor' for the business fraternity..
According to Anand Sharma, Union Minister for Commerce & Industry, Government of India, "The new Foreign Trade Policy 2009-14, attempts to diversify India's export products and market.
This statement has been made at such a time when export oriented businesses were actually struggling to see some signs of economic recovery.
The minister however, acknowledged that the new policy has been unveiled in a very challenging backdrop and added that though targets set in the policy are conservative, they are pragmatic and realistic.
Sharma addresses the industry stakeholders at Interactive Session on the Foreign Trade Policy [2009-14], organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), in New Delhi. He further said, "The government has tried to use the available resources judiciously to focus on labour-intensive sectors. These sectors would help "create more jobs", while generating more resources in the economy."
Expansion of Market Linked Focus Products Scheme (MLFPS) to 13 new markets and 1700 products was the highlight of the new policy, opined Sharma. He also expressed hope that the new policy will help exporters to tide over the current slowdown.
He was of the view that at a time when traditional markets for Indian exporters are in a recession, it is important to engage with other countries and diversify exports. At the time of crisis, it may be convenient to turn protectionist, however it may not be the right choice, as it carries the risk of deepening the recession, added Sharma.
"The Government is determined to reduce transaction costs for Indian exporters. The current policy has already reduced the application fees for exporters and the government will work to simplify export policies and procedures," the Union Minister also highlighted, "Electronic trade is important and will be looked at in a time bound manner."
Despite the challenges of weak demand in the international market, frequent exchange rate fluctuations, increasing competition and high cost of credit, signs of an economic turnaround are now starting to appear.
Having said this, even in such conditions this kind of efforts from the Government agencies are being welcomed by the industry. Although it would be too early to draw any conclusion about export growth, experts from the industry do believe that the real recovery of the sector will be only when we get to the target we had reached October last year when the downslide started.
For the smaller export oriented units belonging to SME segment, the fluctuations of economic scenario is very dangerous. The economic slowdown has led many SMEs to re-look on their business strategies and some of them even restructured their overall approach towards the market.
However, coming back to the newly introduced Foreign Trade Policy, Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII welcomed the new policy and complimented the Union Minister, Sharma for his leadership and for unveiling realistic, transparent, innovative and achievable Foreign Trade Policy.
Dr. Rahul Khullar, Secretary, Department of Commerce, expressed his hopes in the new Foreign Trade Policy and called it as a realistic draft and not overambitious. Khullar also added that diversification of Indian exports was the overall theme of the policy.
Sunil Kant Munjal, ex-President of CII, commented on the need of establishing an overarching umbrella organisation to promote trade and investment in India. He said the simplification of process and procedures in the policy was timely and added that industry will work closely with the Government to achieve targets set in the policy.
Sanjay Budhia, Chairman, CII National Committee on Trade thanked Sharma for coming out with an ambitious and long-term vision in the Foreign Trade Policy.
However, special compensation packages and an extended help is still needed to motivate the exporter belonging to an SME segment. The justification of such demand can be judged by the amount of impact that these small level exporters have witnessed over last few months

How the Bookies See It

|2017 Drivers' Championship
|Bet Now
- Sebastian Vettel started the Italian Grand Prix in sixth place on the grid, so he knew that it would be an uphill struggle to prevent Lewis Hamilton from converting his pole position to a win, but he drove well to minimise Hamilton's advantage as much as possible. He moved into fifth place in lap three, and was sitting in third place by the end of lap eight. That was as close as he got to Hamilton, however, as the Brit's Mercedes was outperforming the German's Ferrari, and Vettel had to fend off advances from Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo to hold onto third and a place on the podium. That result gave Vettel 15 points for the race, bringing his total to 235 for the season, and putting him in second place in the standings for the 2017 Drivers' Championship.
- Lewis Hamilton broke Michael Schumacher's record for the most pole positions achieved by any Formula 1 racing driver when he secured his 69th pole for the Italian Grand Prix, and it couldn't have happened at a better time. A win in Italy was sure to put him at the top of the Drivers' Championship table, so when he achieved pole position, he knew that he had to make it count, and he did so admirably. Hamilton led the race from start to finish in what turned out to be his easiest race of the year, earning 25 points for the win, which brings his total to 238 points.
- Daniel Ricciardo is third in the betting for the Singapore Grand Prix, and that is partly thanks to his superb performance in Italy, where he managed to turn a fairly awful grid position into a creditable fourth place finish. Ricciardo had started the race in 16th place after being given a penalty for too many engine changes in recent weeks, but he drove aggressively from the outset and by the time his late-changed tyres had lost their edge, he had managed to get third-placed Vettel in his sights. He eventually finished a shade over four seconds behind the German to take 12 points, which means he has earned 144 points for the season and currently sits in fourth place in the Drivers' Championship table.
Sports.net's View
Lewis Hamilton is on fire at the moment, but he isn't the favourite to win the Singapore Grand Prix, and for good reason. The street circuit in Singapore will present drivers with conditions that will be very similar to those already experienced in Hungary and Monaco, where cars need a lot of downforce to perform optimally. Ferrari have proved to be far superior to Mercedes in that respect this season, and so the Italian team is expected to dominate this weekend. That doesn't mean Hamilton can't win, of course, but it does explain why the bookmakers haven't made him the favourite to do so.
Given the downforce issue, Ferrari's superiority in that respect and the fact that Vettel's will want to reclaim his position at the top of the Drivers' Championship table as soon as possible, we will side with the German to win this weekend.

Table Hockey World Championships 2011
Oleg Dmitrichenko stole the crown from Roni Nuttunen.
Table Hockey World Championships were played in 10th to 12th of June 2011. Oleg Dmitrichenko of Russia was crowned the champion in open individual series. Congratulations!
» Results
The song "Tablehockey Blues" from opening ceremony is now available:
» Tablehockey Blues.mp3
» Pöytäjääkiekko blues.mp3
12th Table Hockey World Championships are held in Turku from 10th to 12th of June 2011.
Since first championships in 1989 the sport has grown to a new international level with top players coming from Finland, Latvia, Czech Republic, Russia, Sweden and Ukraine.
After a long years of Swedish domination the current world champion is from Finland. Roni Nuttunen is aiming for a third consecutive world championship title at his hometown.
Nuttunen's task will not be easy as 150 top players from almost 20 countries will compete for the title. Be warned though, Nuttunen is getting ready to win. Even as he is now rarely seen in top tournaments, he has not stopped practicing. And the rumours tell that he will be in good form as June comes – or should we say – he will be world champion again. It is up to you to decide, if you are up to the challenge.
Open series challengers are reigning European champion Ahti Lampi from Finland, Russia's Yanis Galuzo and Latvia's Edgars Caics. Three time world champion Hans Österman from Sweden is also always dangerous.
In juniors the title will be open as Lampi has outgrown the series. Gold is going very likely to Russia with two friends from St. Petersburg battling for victory. Oleg Dmitrichenko has more experience, but Maxim Borisov impressed in Swedish Masters.
Maria Yalbacheva of Russia defends ladies title and looks to be light-years ahead of her opponents. It would be a surprise if she doesn't take the title. Turku's own Minerva Martiskainen is going to meet her in finals.
Finland looks for gold again in veterans with Janne Kokko. Host country's favourite won his first Finnish championship 16 years ago in 1995 and was third in World Championships in Helsinki 1997. He is current European champion, but Russians Alexandr Kosyrev and Dmitriy Petrov will do their best to push Kokko out of the finals. Reigning world whampion Pontus Eriksson will not be defending his title.
Who do you think will win? Come and see for yourself in Turku!
Finnish Table Hockey Association welcomes you to the birthplace of Finnish table hockey and home of the best table hockey players in the world!

Federal Funds
What are Federal Funds?
Federal funds are monies held by banks at the Federal Reserve to meet reserve requirements. Funds in excess of reserve requirements can be loaned to other banks in order for those banks to meet reserve requirements.
How Do Federal Funds Work?
Why Do Federal Funds Matter?
Changes in the federal funds fate compel banks to either borrow federal funds to meet reserves requirements or build them up internally. These decisions affect how much money is available for lending to bank customers. The resulting increase or decrease in the supply of money available for lending usually affects overall interest rates, and factors into economic stability -- the ultimate objective of the Fed.
Although the Federal Reserve cannot directly control Federal Funds activity, it can manipulate it. The Fed does this primarily by offering competing loans to banks. Manipulation of the Federal Funds Rate is one of three primary methods the Federal Reserve uses to control the money supply. (The other two involve changing reserve requirements and buying or selling U.S. Treasuries on the open market.)

Lamas is charming as the intended bridegroom but Turner, though lovely looking, is miscast; her singing was dubbed by Erwin.

Golden's Rules: Migrating from SQL Server to MySQL
Databases are a key piece of every organization's software infrastructure. They are complex pieces of software that we rely on to rapidly spit out data in response to queries and to reliably track transactions, never losing track of the fact that a payment has been made (or received).
Because databases are so important, they have long been the royalty of the software world -- venerated for the key role they play, closely monitored for their plans and whims and richly rewarded for their position at the top of the software society.
Just as democracy came to Western societies, commoditization has arrived in the database world. New arrivals in the market, based on open source, have made databases available to everyone at no cost. Perhaps the best known of these open source databases is MySQL.
A question arises, however. How can you move from the oligarchy of commercial databases to the democracy of open source? More specifically, how can you move from Microsoft's SQL Server to MySQL?
The migration is relatively straightforward, but it must be accomplished with a well-structured plan. This article outlines the three essential steps of the migration process.
Step 1: Migrate your data
Although both SQL Server and MySQL are standards-based databases, they are not identical in their supported datatypes, metadata organization or internal data manipulation capabilities. So, the first step in migrating to MySQL is to understand how well your existing SQL Server database can be reflected in a MySQL instance.
If your application has stuck with ANSI-standard datatypes, you'll probably be in pretty good shape in terms of your ability to construct equivalent table structures in MySQL. To the extent that you have used nonstandard datatypes, you may need to spend some time planning a satisfactory mapping.
Beyond the data elements themselves, you'll need to address some metadata areas. Indexes are a primary example. While both SQL Server and MySQL both offer indexes, they do not operate identically, so be sure to consider which indexes you want to transfer and which indexes you want to change. Step 3 (below), the Migrating Process, addresses the implications of indexes on the database.
The final area to address in data migration is data extensions, particularly stored procedures and triggers. These are not standardized and vary in functionality and implementation. If you've used data extensions in your database, be prepared to do some re-engineering.
This process probably sounds like a lot of work, and it can be. Fortunately, tools can help you in this part of the migration process. Vendors like GoldenGate Software Inc. and Embarcadero Technologies Inc. offer some commercial tools. If buying a commercial tool to migrate to an open source database seems somehow wrong, MySQL, itself, offers one.
Each one of these tools makes it as easy as pointing to the existing SQL Server database, identifying the desired MySQL location and pressing a button to start the migration process. The tools will build the new database, create tables, indexes and so forth and migrate the data. If any aspects of the existing database can't be easily migrated, the tools will flag them for your attention.
Definitely consider taking advantage of one of these migration tools; otherwise, the data transfer process is a lot of time-consuming manual work that is also very prone to errors.
Step 2: Migrate your application(s)
Once your data is migrated, it's time to move on to the real reason you have a database in the first place: your application(s). A database without an application is like a safety deposit box without a key; it contains something valuable, but that something is useless because you can't get at it.
This part of the migration process can be trickier than migrating your data. Your potential for success depends upon whether you have access to the application source code.
Assuming you do have access to the application source, you can search through it for SQL statements. If the application uses standard methods of access like ODBC or JDBC, you should be in good shape, although even these access methods allow for database-specific extensions. If the application takes advantage of them, then you'll have to consider how to translate them to MySQL-appropriate functionality. These extensions are typically used in conjunction with database-specific datatype extensions, so if you uncovered any of those during Step 1, you should be prepared to encounter statement extensions as well.
The application migration process gets tricky if you have proprietary applications running against your SQL Server database. Because you probably won't have source code for these applications, the only way to tell whether they'll work against your new MySQL database is to test them. If they work, great! If not, your only hope is to go back to the application vendor and ask if they have a MySQL-friendly version. If they don't, you'll unfortunately have to stick with SQL Server for that application.
Step 3: Migrate your operations
Now that you've migrated your database and application, you can flip the switch, right? You can just point users at the new application/database instance and start running on MySQL?
Actually, no.
Even though you've probably done some preliminary testing to ensure that the application functions properly, you still need to do some work before you migrate your operational environment.
First and foremost, be sure your organization is ready to make the move. Do you need time to get people prepared to support MySQL? Formal training, or at least informal familiarization time, may be needed. You will certainly need a project plan and schedule to ensure you've accomplished all necessary steps before you go into production.
Another important task is to test the new application/database combination. Additional testing is important beyond pure functionality testing. A fully loaded database should be implemented so that you can test the application's performance with a full dataset. A number of different types of queries and update/insert/delete statements should be performed to confirm that the right performance levels are present. As noted above, differences between the two databases in terms of statement parsing and query plan optimization can impact database performance, so it's critical to test those aspects of the system.
Naturally, you should confirm that all operational tasks are understood and can be performed with the new database. As an example, a regular backup schedule is important, so make sure you know how to do this with MySQL and that your regular schedule is in place with the new database.
Only after you've got everyone's skills ready and you have done a full shakedown of the new database/application combination should you perform the final operational migration. Your full preparation will pay off in a smooth transition. You will be up and running on MySQL.

Christian Education at FUMC in Horseheads
Christian Education plays an important role in the mission of the FUMC to provide and promote a wide range of opportunities for both our Church members and our community. Our vision is to provide all with assistance in learning how each one's faith fits into our present world.
On Sunday, we provide Sunday School studies for all ages. Classroom studies are available for ages 2 yrs. - adults. Our lullaby room is available for both worshiip services and the Sunday School hour. The lullaby room provides professional care for birth-23 months old. Ages 2-6th grade meet together singing a song, listening to a short story, a scripture and a prayer. 7th and 8th graders attend a Confirmation class during the Sunday School hour. Following the end of this year, these youth may choose to become members of our Church. Our Senior High class meets both inside and outside our church walls during this hour. An adult class geared for parents and grandparents focus their discussions on parenting. There are also 2 other adult bible studies available during this time. All of our teachers and helpers execute safe sanctuary practice to protect all.
Children's Fellowship is a program provided for 3 yr. -3rd graders during our later worship service. It is a time of crafting, storytelling and having fun learning about more of faith.
Outside our Sunday worship times, we come together throughout the year to enjoy each others' company and continue our faith journey. Some of these events are summer Cacation Bible School, Family Movie Nights, Valentine's Day Dance, Dinner and a Movie, Women's Christmas Tea, Birthday Party for Jesus, Easter Egg Hunt, and a Children's Choir.
We support an International program, the Heifer Project. We hold several fundraisers throughout the year such as spaghetti dinners and sale of RADA Cutlery in order to provide these events. We also provide support to our Church Library and weekly Adult Bible Studies.
Join the fun. We hope you wil consider becoming part of our church family by attending one or more of our worship services and events.

Revitalization of Residence Halls Impacts Students, Connects Downtown
The revitalization of eight 1950's residence halls, a dining commons, and a new residence hall will impact 1,200 students and two dozen sororities in a high density residential district that fronts the town of State College, Pennsylvania. South Halls is located along the southern edge of campus at College Avenue. One of the project goals was to improve the relationship with downtown and open new pedestrian connections to campus.
The renovation included eight 1950's residence halls for the Penn State Sororities, consisting of all interior finishes including flooring, wall, and ceiling surfaces. New features include the installation of code compliant doors and hardware, replacement of existing windows, and installation of private shower and toilet rooms to replace the original gang bathrooms.
Chace Hall at South Halls is a new five-story, steel structure with 216 bedrooms, including double beds with private bathrooms and lockers, a central common lounge with a kitchen, lounge and study spaces on each floor, wi-fi, security cameras and card access, laundry room, and interior bicycle storage. Redifer Commons is centrally located in the South Halls complex providing dining, a post office, computer facilities, and other student services. The renovation included a "facelift" to the College Avenue façade and an expansion of the West dining room to accommodate additional seating needs and private small-group dining options, additional food preparation space, an office addition, and interior renewal of the mailroom and computer lab.
Replacement of the original sixty-year-old systems and significant envelope improvements have converted inefficient 1950's structures to highly energy efficient buildings.
