3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Nov. 15
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. Heart-wrenching stories from struggling Sandy-affected business owners. While power has been mostly restored and cleanup has commenced, hundreds of small businesses are dealing with big challenges to get back to pre-Sandy conditions. More than 59,000 SBA disaster-loan applications have been issued to affected businesses in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, according to The Wall Street Journal .
The Journal is tracking three business owners as they try to recover from Sandy, but more than two weeks later, these stories are heart-wrenching, to say the least. From laying off employees and condemned locations to lost or water-logged merchandise, these business owners are "grappling with dwindling funds, gas shortages, lengthy insurance-claim processes, and damaged facilities and inventory," the article says. The second installment of this month-long project is a must-read for anyone who doesn't understand the full scale of Sandy's wrath.
2. New York state is offering small-business loans for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Small businesses in disaster-designated areas including Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties, plus New York City, can apply for up to $25,000 in loans to help them through recovery, according to Newsday.
The loans will be interest-free and payment-free for the first six months. After that, the loans will have a 1% interest tacked on and must be repaid within two years.
Businesses that are independently owned and operated and have fewer than 100 employees are eligible for the $10 million loan emergency program , which was developed by the New York Bankers Association and the New York Business Development Corp., the article says. Businesses must also have filed a 2011 business tax return and have had "direct damage or economic hardship" from Hurricane Sandy.
3. Is your store ready for the holiday season? Small businesses plan to take market share this holiday season by avoiding Groupon (GRPN) and selling more goods online, according to a Manta survey published late last month.
About 43% of small-business owners are more optimistic about holiday sales this year versus 2011. While a majority of those surveyed expect customers to buy from their bricks-and-mortar stores this holiday season, 41% expect the majority of their sales to come from online orders.
As a result, small businesses are being selective when it comes to the online tools and promotional methods they will adopt this holiday season. "For example, the 82% of small businesses have not, and will not, run promotions with Groupon or other 'daily deal' sites this year. In fact, only 3% of respondents said these types of promotion sites have brought them repeat business," Manta says.
On the other hand, many small businesses run online stores or promotions through sites like Etsy and Facebook (FB) . Yet 47% of small businesses perceive Etsy, the handmade marketplace that caters to hundreds of thousands of very small retailers, as the brand that is the most unsupportive of small businesses. Other brands that were listed include Groupon, eBay (EBAY) and Amazon (AMZN) . According to Manta, about 40% of small-business owners perceive each of those companies as unsupportive to their business. Twenty-nine percent say Facebook is the brand that is the most supportive.

Some of OSU's self-reported violations
Among the secondary NCAA violations within the OSU athletic department since May 30, 2011, here are some related to the major sports of football and men's basketball. All were secondary NCAA violations.
Football coach Urban Meyer said "Good luck," to recruit Noah Spence before his state championship game in Pennsylvania in December. Contact like that with Spence, on his game day, is forbidden.
[Athletic director Gene Smith and alumni association CEO Archie Griffin recorded a personalized video for football recruit Ezekiel Elliott for his official campus visit on March 31. Recruiting videos are forbidden.
Assistant football coach Mike Vrabel used smokeless tobacco on the sidelines during games, which was reported to Ohio State anonymously by an area health teacher. NCAA rules forbid tobacco use during games or practices.
Greg Paulus, the basketball team's video coordinator, was reported to be coaching players during the Buckeyes' Big Ten Tournament semifinal win over Michigan on March 10. Video coordinators, who aren't full assistants, may not coach players. The violation was discovered after a general conversation between an OSU player's parent and an assistant athletic director.
Last August, quality control football staffer Kirk Barton, a former OSU offensive lineman, created and ordered 20 "JT" bracelets for $5 each online to honor former coach Jim Tressel. He intended them for friends and family, but several players asked Barton about the bracelets. He sold seven players the bracelets for $15, charging that amount in an attempt to make sure no violation was committed, knowing that giving them out for free would be an NCAA violation. But selling them still was deemed a violation because players had access to something not available to the general public. The players returned the bracelets.
Assistant coach Stan Drayton last July accidentally sent a text message to a recruit when he meant to send an email. Emails were permissible. Text messages were not.
On Aug. 20, assistant coach Dick Tressel responded to a text message from the parents of recruit Warren Ball asking which gate to use to enter Ohio Stadium for a scrimmage. Texting the parents of a recruit was a violation.
In December of 2010, five current football players took five recruits on OSU visits to a movie. NCAA rules allow each recruit $60 in spending money for entertainment. A cab ride to the movie put each recruit between $1 and $5 over budget, which the football players paid out of pocket. That was not allowed because the $60 limit was exceeded.
The school realized that during three days of the football team's Rose Bowl trip from Dec. 26, 2009, to Jan. 2, 2010, the players received both a $15 per diem and breakfast. That pushed them over the allowable three meals of $45 per diem.

You can see right down her dress and into the valley between those massive tits. A lot of men get a little intimidated by a strong, well built woman, but I see it as a challenge. I'd have her bouncing that big thing back on my dick and screaming my name. All I can think about is picking up Serena's phat ass and throwing her body into every position imaginable.

One of her early responsibilities as councilor in the Dean's office involved serving as an advisor to Mortar Board, a senior-student honor society over which she presided for nearly thirty years. Cook also served as director of the Placement Service for Women, assistant and associate Dean of Women, associate Dean of Students, and, from 1980-1987, Dean of Students. She was a lecturer in the School of Education starting in 1970, and a professor of education from 1987-1989. Nationally recognized for her efforts in promoting career opportunities for women, Cook served in several positions within the National Association of Women Deans, Administrators, and Councilors (NAWDAC) including serving as President from 1975 – 1976. She is also the recipient of numerous awards for her work, including the Helen B. Schleman Gold Medallion for Distinguished Contributions to Purdue University, the Dean Beverley Stone Award for Personal Counseling Contributions, and the Distinguished Lifetime Mortar Board Member Award. Since her retirement in 1989, Barbara Cook has been an active member of the Lafayette community and involved with many organizations, including the Salvation Army, Greater Lafayette YWCA, West Lafayette Redevelopment Commission, and the Indiana Governor's Commission for Women. In 2004, a sculpture entitled "When Dreams Dance" was dedicated to Cook and her late colleague and friend, Beverley Stone. It is located in between Schleman and Hovde Halls. Today, the current chapter of the Purdue Mortar Board is named in Cook's honor, who advised the group from 1956-1986.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Video: Goats Hacked Apart in Military Training
Thanks to a brave whistleblower, PETA has obtained horrific undercover video of live animals whose limbs were cut off for an archaic military training drill. The course was held earlier this year in Virginia Beach, Virginia, by private contractor Tier 1 Group.
In the shocking video, instructors repeatedly crack and cut off the limbs of live goats with tree trimmers, stab the animals with scalpels to cause internal injuries, and cut into their abdomens to crudely pull out their organs. Some of the goats moan loudly and kick their legs during the mutilations, which veterinarians who viewed the video say are signs that the goats were not adequately anesthetized and may have even been feeling pain.
The disturbing video footage shows a callous course instructor who cheerfully whistles while dismembering goats as well as members of the Coast Guard who joke about writing a song about mutilating the animals.
According to the whistleblower, later in the day the goats were shot in the face with pistols and were hacked apart with an ax while still alive.
Today, there are high-tech humanlike simulators available specifically for military training that can breathe, bleed, cry, talk, and respond to medications. These human-based methods are obviously more humane and effective than cutting apart, blowing up, shooting, and killing thousands of animals every year. One shockingly realistic simulator is a special suit designed to be worn by a human actor that enables military personnel to safely perform emergency surgical procedures on a live human without any injury to the person.
Last year, PETA helped end an Army course that involved poisoning monkeys with chemicals, and we've saved ferrets and cats from other cruel military training courses by convincing military officials to switch to modern simulators.
The evidence of the superiority of these state-of-the-art simulation methods is so overwhelming that Congress has introduced legislation to phase out the use of animals in military training in favor of non-animal methods.
We Need All Hands on Deck
Military medical experts, veterans, and civilian physicians are joining PETA in urging U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and other military officials to immediately end the use of animals in military trauma training exercises. And we need your help, too!
Commenting is closed.
Even if this was the most realistic type of training, it should still be ended, because humans are worth no more than a goat!
This has to be the most ridiculously cruel act by the military that I have ever witnessed. There is no sensible cause for acts of animal cruelty, why would the military subject these animals to such horrendous pain.
Please stop these senseless acts of animal cruelty.
The humanity, decency, and judgment of those administrators involved in this atrocity is beyond barbaric and satanic. No reason No excuses. No benefit whatsoever. This is pure evil.
My dad is a vet and he extremely disagrees with the amount of extremism that this Tier 1 group uses on the animals without antithetics but the fact is how does this video announcer even know what battlefield conditions are like? he is probably an eco freak behind a desk. I do disagree with the extreme use of animals like this but it has to be done to save lives.
god,I wish the world would end right now, I would don't want to live in this kind of world!!
This does NOT help train military to save lives, repeat this does NOT train them to save lives! The training can be done in real time on real combat situations as they come when their need to save lives becomes paramount. This is just psycho excsues to brutalize an innocent animal. The military excuse is invalid and ridiculous! Train on real humans and leave the animals alone! After all YOU want to kill other humans! Train on the HUNTERS from Canada. Train your skills on THEM! The Day of Retribution is coming! We are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget. Expect us.
it helps soldier save lives by understanding how to treat wounds that they will see while in combat yes i t my seem brutal to some of you but when it come between an animal and a soldier i say give the soldier all tools he or she needs. for those of you crying about your tax dollars, stop paying oh thats right you'll have the government come down on you.
Aucun pays ne devrait permettre que ses soldats se comportent de cette manière à l'égard des animaux. Vous n'avez pas le droit de disposer ainsi des animaux. De grâce, cessez de faire souffrir des animaux pour le plaisir de vos soldats.
I can't even comprehend how some people are justifying the cruelty in this video. "This saves lives," how does taking a life save a life? Oh, because human lives are worth more than the lives of other "lesser" animals, right? Until all of society realizes a life is a life, no matter if that life belongs to a human or a goat, this kind of cruelty and murder will continue.
If we first stopped with the needless wars we could then stop with the needless animal training. There is no rationale for this behavior. Not towards humans, and not towards animals.
What I am reading from people who are in the military and attend these seminars is ridiculous. Cutting a live animal to pieces is horrific. Doctors do not go to medical school and practice their training on live humans! What the army is doing is inhumane….lack of care for animals who cannot defend themselves against the evil of mankind.
I am a Navy Corpsman with a combat deployment. I have attended this training and at my last duty station I became involved in teaching this course. I have both used the medical simulators and worked in a level one trauma center. All of these modes of training serve a different purpose. This "live tissue training" provides invaluable confidence in your gear. This is the only training in which the ACTUAL equipment an operator will carry into combat is used, not analogues as with simulators or the completely different tools and techniques in the ER. The goats groaning IS NOT an indication of him coming out of anesthesia, a licensed Veterinarian and Vet Technicians are on had at all times. Everyone that intends to go into harms way should take with them the best training, techniques, and equipment. As unpalatable as it is for many, this is it. This training saves lives.
a member as us military this training is key to teaching people how to save lives. its better than having a marine shot and u not knowing what to do……….. kill one pig save 50 marines……. things that you dont think of… i have supported peta for a long time but this training is key to saving lives of people… you dont know b/c you have not been there
It ain't pretty, but learning battlefield medicine can't be done out of a book. I couldn't do it, but to engage in hyperbole of the sort I'm seeing because they're trying to learn to save human lives is counter-productive. I can't even imagine the cost of providing all the magical animatronic practice dummies they'd need for training.
what is wrong with us, is this what we really want, what kind of people are we creating, this is how leaders like Hilter come to be.
As always you have to try to understand who wants these wars to flourish and for what reason Lisa. But this does not excuse this, Nothing short of horrendous barbaric inhumane torture of sentient creatures : and we have the cheek to say the Taliban live in the stone ages. Also if anybody has the time read a book written by Bridgette Gabriele a Arab Christian who fled with her parents to America. Might open a few eyes to my first few lines though.
Man's inhumanity to man begins with the lack of care of our animals. Is this what WAR does to people or does hurting animals begin in childhood? This is purely DEMONIC! In the account of Genesis it says, "God looked down upon mankind & felt sorry he had created us, since our hearts were only on bad all the time." He then decided to bring the flood of Noah's day. This next time he says the heavens are stored up for fire to cleanse his earth from all badness. I sure hope it comes soon. Mankind, alienated from his creator, never learns & if God didn't step in, we'd end up destroying the earth & everything on it.
I did not even watch the video but just the idea of what they are doing is sickening I would like to see how they laugh and joke if the tables were turned . I am appalled that this is what our government is doing with the taxpayers money
We create Our future by the way we treat others, especially the helpless, elderly, children and animals. Panda bears were once carnivores but changed & evolved for over a million years! Why are we humans so foolish, so careless? This cruelty must be stopped – please speak out for peace – for all, including goats!
I and not able to watch such unspeakable cruelty. It is bad for my Chi. The written story was enough to cause distress. My face feels warm, tears welling up in my eyes, my heart racing. What is Wrong with these People? What is wrong with our World?
Using high tech simulators is best for our soldiers as well as animals. The military must stop using animals – the US is better than that. Kudos to peta for making such headway in this fight.
This is one of the most sickening traumatic video's ive ever watched on PETA and ive watched a few on PETA over the years ive seen shocking disturbing footage on youtube of your Military torturing hacking up live animals ive even commented about them saying what a disgrace your military are and to the rest of the world as a result i was emailed death threats by americans. After watching this latest footage i stick with what i said before, you should be ashamed of your Army and quite frankly they dont deserve to be fighting side by side with other Nationalities in Afganistan, i know all Countries are not perfect and we all have some kind of animal abuse but atleast these Countries are trying to change things, what about Bolivia i think by far the most historic victory everyone around the world was outraged when they watched the video of 2009 of the Bolivian Army stabbing cutting up live dogs hearing them cry, alot of the outraged people were americans so why do you still let your own Military continue to torture animals??? When you hear the goat moan while its having its leg hacked off and intesines pulled out do'snt that move you atall????
this is unreal..barbaric and must stop…these are not people doing this..these are MONSTERS…step up and do the right thing…end this horror!!

Get Networking. Referrals Are Key in Employment
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- These days, it's not what you know that can land you that mint career gig -- it's who you know.
That's not hyperbole.
At Booz Allen , the management consultant firm, more than 55% of new employees are referralsfrom existing employees. The firm reports it gets 1,700 referrals from employees monthly through a program the firm calls "vital" to its recruitment efforts.
Jobvite, an online employee recruitment firm, says that employee referrals account for 40% of hires nationwide. Referred employees also find jobs more quickly. Jobvite says applicants hired after a referral take 29 days to start working with a company, compared with 39 days when they come via a jobs board and 55 days via career recruiting sites.
It's clear employees are getting the message and are well aware that social and business connections are the leading driver of new job offers.
According to Lee Hecht Harrison , a Woodcliff Lake, N.J., talent development company, about 50% of U.S. workers say their connections were most helpful in advancing their careers. Overall, 47% point to connections as the reason they landed their last job (30% say "on-the-job-training" made the big difference, and 14% said cited having a good mentor).
Only 9% said their college degree opened the hiring doors for them. "While a degree credentials a job-seeker, it's the relationships we nurture and the reputations we build that invariably lead to more opportunities for advancement," says Jim Greenway, an executive vice president at Lee Hecht. "More and more, hiring managers and recruiters are relying on referrals and recommendations for sourcing and hiring new employees," he adds. "Job seekers need to use their connections -- online and in real life -- to uncover open positions and gain introductions."
Aside from personal relationships, Greenway says that social networking is the biggest weapon in a job candidate's referral arsenal. Being active professionally on social media sites such as LinkedIn
"As social recruiting becomes more sophisticated, it is increasingly important for today's workforce to use their online professional network to establish new relationships, credential themselves, engage in meaningful activity that builds trust and grow their sphere of access," Greenway says.
Another good way to get an employee referral screen: Reach out to former work associates and let them know, on discreet terms, that you're looking for a job. Ask for a referral, or at least your chance to make your case for a referral over coffee or lunch.
Also, join industry association groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and make connections in your community. No doubt, social networking is a great referral tool, but nothing beats a face-to-face connection to get your resume at the top of the heap.

When you bite into a delicious pizza, succulent sandwich or luscious lamb chops, are you possibly eating food that has been sacrificed to idols?
An outspoken American pastor says yes, and he's sounding the alarm for Christians to be aware of the Islamic influence he calls "backdoor Shariah" now nibbling its way across the fruited plain.
At issue, says Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash., is eating food that's "halal," in other words "lawful" or "permitted" for the Muslim diet.
Muslims join many Jews and some Christians in avoiding the consumption of certain animals such as pigs and birds of prey, but those of the Islamic faith also have their meat blessed in the name of their god, Allah.
"From the Christian standpoint, Allah would be an idol," Biltz told WND.
In a sermon last weekend which he posted online, Biltz explained, "In order for it to be halal, they have to slaughter the animal facing Mecca ... and they have to say this prayer about Allah is great and greater than all other gods. Muslims can only eat food that is halal, that has been sacrificed to their idol, Allah ... and with Allah's name prayed over it."
"You could be eating beef, chicken, etc., offered up to Allah and not even know it. I can just imagine at a Passover Seder the caterer unbeknownst to anyone is serving halal meat! It could be on your pizza without you knowing it, or at your favorite restaurant. People don't realize they could be eating meat sacrificed to idols!"

"Cat: the other white meat."
Farewell to you, too. I plan to.
"So many recipes, so little time ..."
>>You, like most Christians, need to learn context.<<
I don't think that is the issue here. The context was implied, at least in what I was reading. And the context of Christianity itself supports DannyTN's point.
I suspect that nobody on this thread would eat anything that had "HALAL" on the package, and for the very reason you give - supporting the religious belief it involves.
Your remark was also condescending.
>>According to the Apostle Paul, eating food that you KNOW was sacrificed to idols is no different from eating food you didn't know was sacrificed to idols <<
I disagree. I think that is why Paul had a "DADT" attitude about it. And yes, it was about the weaker brother.
The spirit of this is pretty clear. Food is food, but you are not to "appear" to be supporting the false religion.
If there is some guy in the kitchen at your favorite restaurant "sacrificing" the meat before he cooks it, and you don't know it, you need not even think about it. OTOH, if there is the phrase "HALAL Restaurant" in big neon letters at the door of the restaurant, you should avoid it. Even then,there is nothing wrong with the food, but the reason for avoiding it is to keep from damaging the "lesser brother".
Don't even get me started about drinking alcohol. That one is a REAL conundrum - for some.
That is one of the best posts in this thread.
This is stupid. You mean you should not eat food that a Jew has blessed, or I shouldn't eat food that a Christian has blessed? Silly.
Why should anyone care?
Depends, the rest of the chapter makes clear that what comes out of the mouth reveals what's in the heart. So if you recited the Koran to show people how false it is, then no. But if you recited the Koran, because in your heart you were hoping the Koran was true instead of those original scriptures, then yeah, definitely.
I'm glad to know this. I do not want to support in any way Islam or muslims.
I avoid most anything that caters to Muslims any more. I didn't use to care, but I'm fed up with all the demands that we Gentiles bend over and kiss Muslim butt. So now, I avoid their businesses.
Selective quoting can be a bad thing. <<
Yes it can. But I'm missing your point. The part you bolded is a foregone conclusion. Several of us have been discussing that aspect. It is why I made my comment on alcohol.
>>There is no reason for me to avoid it.<<
Regarding HALAL, my reasons are that I don't want to support anything islam related. I am thinking more and more that there is a strong possibility that the false religion of the end discussed in Revelation will be islam.
I do see from the rest of your post that we are in agreement that the pastor in the article is wrong in what he is claiming here.
Generally, it is special treatment for religious purposes.
"Farewell to you, too."
Oh, that wasn't me. That was the last line of the letter from Peter to the Gentile churches "farewell."
One reason I love Free Republic is that there are so many people with even less of a sense of humor than I.
Kosher is distinct from halal, in that Kosher has unecessary (for Christian gentiles) precautions taken in in preparation.
Halal, in contrast, is pagan, and sacrificed to a demon.
While Mathew makes clear that this would not make one "unclean" (in the Jewish sense), Acts and Corinthians makes clear such pagan-sacrificed meat should be avoided.
It's black-letter, New Testament stuff.
Surprised at the resistance of supposed sola scriptura people here.
I'm sorry, I took your post as being mad that I said "Fairwell" -— like I was posting and running.
I didn't want to offend you.
LOL! I was running out the door to Walmart, having been informed by my egregious offspring that they were getting ready to eat the dog.
Anyway, I hope your day is going fine.
Only for conscience sake, that is, for the sake of the conscience of one offering the meat sacrificed to idols. We need to be cautious for the sake of weaker brethren. The Christian is under no absolute prohibitions in eating meat sacrificed to idols.
Besides, no one here has established that this is food actually sacrificed to idols in any biblical sense. Its merely a WorldNutDaily author repeating the theory of this right-wing pastor.
Frankly, it makes Christians who repeat it look foolish, but thats nothing new.
Halal, in contrast, is pagan, and sacrificed to a demon.
Really? (sigh)
So I went and read Halal Guidelines for Food Preparation and nowhere in the text did I see anything about sacrificing the meat to demons. In one document I did see the requirement for the slaughterer to utter "Bismillah" while performing the slaughtering, but that requirement is absent in this document.
Quite frankly I don't see much difference in Halal foods and the freakishly anal-retentive regulations issued out and enforced by the USDA and FDA.
If you are self-classified as "weaker brother" and find your soul in mortal danger, then I would advice against Halal and Kosher foods and eat pigs, dogs, rats, eagles, bears, tigers and other non-demonic foods - Just to make sure that God still approves of you.
"At a restaurant, you're not going to know [if the food is halal] unless you ask,"Hmmm, and what did Paul tell us?
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake; 26 for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." (1 Cor. 10)The point is, you shouldnt really care, even if it were sacrificed to idols (which its not).
Why are Christians so dumb?
I don't think Christians are any dumber than other religions that won't eat pig, seafood, mix certain foods, or who think cows are some kind of religious icon.
Dumb is in the eyes of the beholder.
"Really? (sigh)"
Yes. allah is a false god. Or do you also deny the crucification? The fundamental core of halal slaughter is facing Mecca, praying to this false god, and sliting the throat of the animal.
"If you are self-classified as "weaker brother" and find your soul in mortal dange"
No, merely one who can read.
I don't avoid halal for myself, but do so for the weaker brother -— the weaker brother being the "all roads lead to heaven" brother who might be persuaded that islam is acceptable by not my rejecting its practices.
Since Allah doesn't exist, I don't think that prayers to him are going to change anything in the food I'm going to eat.
I feel safe from Allah.
From the islamic idiots? Not so much.
Acts 15:29 (New International Version, ©2011)
29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Seems to conflict with Paul, eh?
But not really.
Paul was talking about PERSONAL cleanliness and ability to talk to God -— diet being completley unimportant.
Acts, in contrast, was talking about being a stumbling block to weak brotherws who believe all roads lead to heaven by appearing to endorse a pagan religion like islam.
The posters here who are mocking the avoidance of halal meat are selfish, and not caring for the weaker brothers.
islam and other pagan religion must be rejected completely, down to their food.
I Corinthians 8.
"Acts and Corinthians makes clear such pagan-sacrificed meat should be avoided.
Only for conscience sake"
A very pharsitical answer.
The text says "You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. "
Not "it's a good idea"
Is "sexual immorality" also OK? You know, since no one gets hurt? It's the same list.
It amazes me the ability people have to justify actions that are clearly stated as "don't do it."
Spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam, spam spam.
You're ignoring the writings of Paul.
Besides, ain't much idol sacrificing going on around these parts.
Paul didn't think eating the meat sacrificed to idols was a problem, and up to now, no one hyperventillates over kosher food in the US, so this is complete nonsense.
and Christ didn't get his knickers in a knot about food laws either, come to think of it.
Thank you for being an excellent defender against such nonsense.
To purchase halal food is to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and CIAR. The Bible, in its infinite wisdom, recognized this. Apparently, so-called "conservatives" don't mind completely ignoring passages of Scripture or providing terrorists with resources as long as they get their delicious meat. I have no idea why people react with such hostility towards requiring all food to be marked as halil; if we're going to keep the FDA around, they might as well do something useful.
1 Corinthians 10 28 But if someone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. 29 I am referring to the other persons conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by anothers conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for? 31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 32 Be without offense toward the Jews, and toward the Gentiles, and toward the Church of God, 33 just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved.Take particular note of verses 28 and 33. When you eat food which has been sacrificed to an idol, you commit a sin against your brother. That is the only moral failing one has from eating halal food, but it is a moral failing regardless. You may not slide into damnation yourself, but you cause your neighbor to. Also, take your anti-Christian bigotry elsewhere.
IT'S the fact of "LEGITIMIZING" the Mooozies!
That and my NOT wanting to support them in any way, shape or form as they labor (stealthily) towards ever more of injecting Islam/Sharia into our lives, be it a Mosque at Ground Zero, a Crescent-Shaped Memorial in Pa to honor the heroes of Flt 93 or, Sharia ("No Interest") banking, Courts making rulings based on the Qur'an, eating any foods which they insist must be slaughtered according to Islam in order to be considered "acceptable," etc.
Thank you for making the point so many on this thread managed to miss.
Only is the brother is offended. There is no absolute language in the passage. In this case the situation dictates the behavior.
Otherwise Pauls command to ask no questions makes no sense. You would ALWAYS be required to ask if the meat had been offered to idols if it were an absolute matter.
Also, take your anti-Christian bigotry elsewhere.
To the RM: I dont see what that comments was necessary or warranted.
Paul puts his question forward in part because they are making references to permitting meat forbidden in the Mosaic times, and in part because unwittingly eating Halal is not a sin against yourself. Knowingly eating Halal is.
Also, I stated that you were being an anti-Christian bigot by your asking, "Why are Christians so dumb?" Sorry if my comment didn't provide the appropriate context.
Yes, I know. My point was that its done entirely for religious purposes. Non-Jews dont generally get the heebie jeebies from the thought of consuming Kosher food.
This view is found neither in the Mosaic Law nor in Paul. Paul especially NEVER says that eating meat sacrificed to idols in and of itself is sin. The only sin is that caused by giving offense to others. Period.
Besides, its still not been established by any credible authority that eating Halal violates by biblical command. This particular pastor has his view. He is mistaken, IMO.
Also, I stated that you were being an anti-Christian bigot by your asking, Why are Christians so dumb? Sorry if my comment didnt provide the appropriate context.
Well then obviously you havent paid attention to my background or other posts, or you would not make such a silly statement.
BTW, I stand by my comment. Christians who uncritically accept the nonsense in the OP are exhibiting a real lack of discernment.
While that may be wise politically, there is no biblical prohibition against such action.
You seem to be confusing the common political religion with a biblical one. Do not taste, do not touch
a Muslim.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
I don´t know. Violating kashrus and not washing the hands before eating violate The Law which Jesus claims to have supported.
"The only sin is that caused by giving offense to others."
No, it's misleading others.
This is the unequivocal instruction given by Peter:
"You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality."
Paul gives the same unequivical instruciton:
"But if someone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, then do not eat it"
You attempt to swallow the rule by misreading Paul's subsequent reason behind the rule.
When I am told by the apostles to "jump," I jump. I know my place is not to question why.
Me, I care about people who might be mislead into thinking islam is a road to heaven.
IF you don't, then perhaps you should look at yourself.
Misleading others how? The Scripture doesnt use that sort of specific language.
Paul gives the same unequivical instruciton:
Lets not take your word for it, but lets examine the context:
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.There is no absolute prohibition in this passage against eating meat sacrificed to idols. See Jesus words in Matt. 15:11.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake;
26 for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness."
27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.
28 But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness."
29"Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?
30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Cor. 10)
However, it is for the conscience of the other (the unbeliever) who told us this meat is sacrificed to idols that we should abstain. There it is in black and white. What part did I get wrong?
Me, I care about people who might be mislead into thinking islam is a road to heaven.
Misquoting and misinterpreting the Bible does not demonstrate a care for people, no matter how noble the cause. Trying to be holier than Jesus and making others do the same wont work either.
Besides, you folks still have shown that eating Halal violates by biblical command.
Jesus' answer to the charge is found in vs 3.
Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
One commentary says this: "The tradition they transgress is but man's, and is itself the occasion of heavy transgression, undermining the authority of God's law."
Even the pharisees admitted it was not God's law but "tradition of the elders". But they were imposing it as equal with God's law. In fact, the Mathew Henry commentary has a quote of a Rabbi equating it with adultery.
Jesus turns it around on them, and uses it an an opportunity to point to other "traditions of men" that were undermining God's law, including the way the pharisees were avoiding honoring their parents.
This commentary does a pretty good explanation. David Guzik Commentary
Mathew Henry's commentary has a lengthy and deeper explanation. Mathew Henry Commentary - Matt 15
You are intentionally confusing salvation issues with "best practice" issues, and not an honest person.
This is clear:
"You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.
Paul gives the same unequivical instruciton:
But if someone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, then do not eat it

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met today with British Foreign Secretary William Hague at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. Following their meeting, Secretary Clinton underscored the "indispensible, unique, and special relationship that exists between our two nations, our governments, and our peoples." She then said:
"...We are certainly looking forward to President Obama and Mrs. Obama's state visit starting tomorrow. And thank you for welcoming us so warmly and thank you for the great working relationship that we have and the many areas where we consult closely and frequently on matters of mutual concern. And I was grateful again for the conversation we had which, as you have just summarized, covered quite a bit of ground. I will just highlight a few of the issues.
"First, on Libya, we reiterated our shared commitment to enforce the UN Security Council resolution and to protect Libyan civilians. I think both of us believe that we are making progress, but we know that our resolve must be firm and that we have to make it clear that time is running out for Colonel Qadhafi and those around him.
"In Syria, the Asad government continues to respond to peaceful protests with brutal violence. By our best estimate, nearly 1,000 people have now been killed. And that is against the backdrop of President Asad talking about reform while his security forces fire bullets into crowds of marchers and mourners at funerals. This cruelty must end, and the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people must be honored.
"The U.S., the EU, and others have already imposed sanctions against senior Syrian officials, including new measures announced today targeting President Asad. Foreign Secretary Hague and I are both absolutely consistent with our message to the Asad government: Stop the killings, the beatings, the arrests; release all political prisoners and detainees; begin to respond to the demands that are upon you for a process of credible and inclusive democratic change.
"President Asad faces a choice: He can lead the transition to democracy that the Syrian people have demanded; or he can, as President Obama said on Thursday, get out of the way. But there is no doubt that if he does not begin to lead that process, his regime will face continuing and increasing pressure and isolation.
"I appreciated the foreign secretary's positive words about President Obama's speech concerning a comprehensive Middle East peace. The United States has outlined principles that we believe provide a foundation for negotiations to resolve core issues, end the conflict and all claims. Everyone knows what the results should be: two states for two people with secure and recognized borders, based on the 1967 lines, with mutually agreed swaps and security arrangements that ensure Israel can effectively defend itself by itself.
"As the President now has said twice in the last three days, this is a well-known formula to all who have worked on this issue for a generation. Certainly, it is the formula that was used by two prior presidents -- one Democratic, one Republican. It allows the parties themselves to account for the changes that have taken place over the last 44 years, including the demographic realities and the needs of both sides.
"As the President also said, and I would underscore this, no country can be expected to negotiate with a terrorist organization sworn to its destruction. Any Palestinian government must accept the principles outlined by the Quartet, including recognizing Israel's right to exist and rejecting violence and adhering to all existing agreements.
"The foreign secretary and I also reviewed the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Afghanistan, British and American troops continue to work side by side to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al-Qaida and its terrorist allies. Our military and civilian men and women have made great progress breaking the Taliban's momentum, and we are determined to continue to press al-Qaida and its affiliates on all fronts, even after killing its leader, Usama bin Ladin.
"We are going to be discussing and planning to start bringing troops home as part of a responsible transition to an Afghan lead for security, even as we maintain a long-term commitment to the Afghan people. And we are actively supporting an Afghan-led political process to broker reconciliation with members of the Taliban who renounce violence, cut ties to al-Qaida, and support the Afghan constitution.
"With respect to Pakistan, Pakistan has hard choices to make. We know the facts. Pakistan is a nuclear-armed state, home to nearly 180 million people, making it the world's sixth largest nation. It needs international support to deal with political and economic problems and the threats it faces from internal violence. This latest attack on a Pakistani naval installation in Karachi is another reminder of the terrible price the Pakistani people have borne in their own struggle against violent extremism.
"We have killed more terrorists on Pakistani soil than anywhere else in the world, and that could not have been done without the cooperation of the Government of Pakistan. But there is more work to be done and the work is urgent. Over the long haul, both the United Kingdom and the United States seek to support the Pakistani people as they chart their own destiny, away from political violence, toward greater stability, economic prosperity, and justice.
"In Yemen, we are dismayed that President Saleh continues his refusal to sign the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative which would help resolve the political challenges facing Yemen today. The international community, led by the GCC, has worked hard to build support for this initiative. President Saleh has agreed on multiple occasions to sign it. Once again, he is failing to live up to those promises. We urge President Saleh to immediately follow through on his repeated commitments to peacefully transfer power. This is critical for the peace and security that the Yemeni people are seeking.
"Finally, we discussed events in Sudan, in particular in Abyei. The United States calls on the Sudanese armed forces to immediately cease all offensive operations in Abyei and withdraw. Both sides must follow through on implementing the agreements of January of 13th and 17th and chart a way forward that restores calm, upholds the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, and advances a negotiated political settlement on the future status of the Abyei area.
"There were other matters as well, but I think those were the highlights. But as always with the foreign secretary, we have much to discuss when we meet, because we have a similar perspective and shared values and a long history of facing foreign policy challenges together as partners and friends."
You can read the Secretary's full remarks with British Foreign Secretary Hague here.
Brian S. in Colorado writes:
The rapid shift on policy toward Yemen has not been thoroughly explained.
Certainly President Saleh was wrong to have the military fire on peaceful demonstrators, but that's been his MO going back to 1978.
The US military and CIA backed the guy right up until earlier this year. Just a couple of weeks ago, he was our bulwark against al-Qaeda.
Sure, it makes sense for the USA to be supporting a true democracy movement, but is that really what we are backing ? It looks a lot like an intra-tribal conflict between factions within the Hashid tribal confederation. Who's to say that the JPM "revolutionary youth†won't be just as brutal, and just as undemocratic ? The fact that they have taken large sums of money from the CIA doesn't lock them into any particular approach or ideology.
This is not like Egypt, or Tunisia, or Libya, where popular revolutions rejected the entrenched dictator. This is more like Afghanistan or Iraq, where we got involved in one side of a civil war. Please explain to the American people WHY we are switching sides, after spending hundreds of millions, maybe billions, to support Saleh.
The Yemeni people are too varied to be characterized as being of one mind on relations with the US, but let me generalize.
• Yemenis believe that the USA supports Israeli repression of Palestinians, and their reaction is strongly negative.
• Depending on which side of the civil war they fall on, they either love or hate the fact that the US has been providing substantial aid to Saleh, helping him stay in power.
• Yemenis are angry that the USA is holding about 90 Yemeni men at Guantánamo, including about 59 who we have declared to be innocent, and who are cleared for release. Most of those 59 were cleared for release up to 7 years ago, but still we hold them.
It looks like there may be a new dictator in Yemen soon. They might even have a democratic government there before too long. This would be a good time to take decisive action to get the Yemeni people to like us. That would be far more effective in combating al-Qaeda than basing 100,000 troops or Mercenaries there.
The President has all the authority and resources he needs to implement right now the Dat-dazh-deet ("Renewalâ€) Program (patent pending) to Deradicalize, Train and eventually Reintegrate those Guantánamo
Detainees who are Cleared for Release. It wouldn't contravene the congressional restrictions in the 2011 NDAA.
Implementing that program would go a long way toward making amends to the people of Yemen, after years of propping up Saleh. It would show newfound respect for a people who put a premium on dignity.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
News Item:
Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has joined American and other European leaders in calling for Moammar Gadhafi to step down from power, a shift that appears to indicate a closing diplomatic window for the longtime Libyan strongman.
Sometimes the biggest news is buried under the surface of press reporting on circumstance.
If my memory-or lack of one rather-serves just me well, I think this may be the very first time Russia has taken a foreign policy postion in support of removing a tyrant for humanitarian reasons, and I'm real proud of Mr, Medvedev for taking this bold step to support a valid methodology to restore sanity on the world stage, for suddenly the international community doesn't seem quite so dysfunctional anymore for some reason or another.
Must be folks are starting to get a grip as the President must have made way too much sense to ignore when he met with folks @ G8.
( either that or Mr. M read everything I've ever said about Russia/US relations here on Dipnote...and chuckle!....the President simply told him he might want to think about getting with the program...because he thought the following made to much sense for anyone to ignore...)
"I think a more entertaining question is whether we'll ever see Al Assad dropped off on the tarmac of a third country in his pajamas or not? Let alone in his birthday suit.
How hard do you think the world would laugh at the sight of that?
As for Ghaddafi, I think folks should quit looking for a nation to take him in as a political refugee, as nobody wants him.
Better to approach the mental institutions of the world and see if one has a suite of rubber rooms available for Ghaddafi and sons.
Folks might have more success with that.
Aye well, in my long foreign affairs wish list, these would only be the tip of the iceburg.
I wonder how the Russian gov. feels about the weapons they've sold to Assad being used to target civilians in Syria?
Maybe they'll get with the program and send the repo man to collect them since they've been turned on the people rather than some external entity in defense, eh?
Now there's a plan...
If we used our military relationship with Egypt and Bahrain along with our laws governing arms exports to encorage restraint towards protesters, surely the Russians can make an effort to do so with Syria. Along with anyone else that has sold this regime weapons.
I guess that would be a case of naked cooperation as far as a transparent "targeted" sanctions are concerned."

Well done to Sec. Clinton and team for doing the heavy diplomatic lifting of angst involved in getting here over a number of years. I see you'all @ State been hitting that reset button fast and furiously and finally got it to light up.
Have a great weekend folks,

Excellent product
Publié par Reviewer2814214 le Jan 26, 2009
I am 58 years old and enjoy using Kiss My Face Eyewitness. It is smooth and light, leaving no residue. I have minimal wrinkles around my eyes. I also use it on my forehead and in the crease from my nose to my lips. This product as well as Kiss My Face Under Age Ultra Hydrating Moisturizer are the first facial products I have used that do NOT give my periodic little itches on my face. NO itching... no parabens. Great products.
Publié par Reviewer1153879 le Feb 02, 2010
I love this eye cream!! It doesn't fade dark circles or erase wrinkles but it's moisturizing without being too thick or gooping up under powder foundation. When I ran out and didn't use it for about a month I saw a few fine lines start to creap in until I bought and started using this again...the start of those thankfully faded away so now I won't be without this at all!!
Best natural eye cream I have used

I have tried several natural eye creams, but this is the best I have used. No, my dark circles have not been eliminated, but I have given up on the dream that there is an eye cream out there that will ever do that. This eye cream moisturizes my eyes, contains natural ingredients, and works just as well if not better than better known brands.

I love this how this cream glides on and doesn't leave a greasy feel. According to another web site that judges products by purity and toxic chemical content, this cream is a winner, with natural ingredients, and nothing to harm your skin. I gives me peace of mind putting it on a delicate area.
pure and good

Not very excited about this eye cream. If I use it at night, I wake up and my eyes are extremely puffy. During the day, my eyes tear up. That's the only results I'm getting.

What I Learned From The 1St Preseason Game:
Posted 11 August 2012 - 10:08 AM
This is a unit that was intact for what? 5 years now? The only one we were missing last night was Wayne Hunter. I'm not going to get on them for letting Sanchez get hit 5 times in 1Q because it looked like Keller and Powell both missed blocks on those 2 sacks... but the running game... man. No push up front whatsoever. We're not going to be anytype of ground and pound team if we can't drive back the DL. Greene isn't the most shifty back ever, but there's not much you can do when the DL gets their hands on you in the backfield.
2. Bart Scott is going to lose his starting job.
I heard all the hype about how much weight he lost and how much faster he looks. Well last night he looked like a car with 3 wheels. Anytime he was in coverage over the middle, the Bengals picked on him. Since the NFL is quickly becoming a 70-30 league in terms of pass-run, you can't even call him a 2 down LBer anymore. TEs and RBs are going to carve us up in the middle if Scott is left in one on one coverage. Honestly, between our move to the 4-3 and everything I saw last night, the only thing keeps Scott on this team is the fact that no one will pick up his contract.
3. Chaz Schilens is not the 2nd best WR on the team.
For all the feathers that Cro seemed to ruffle, this dude was the most vocal about it. Come game time? He was out played by Patrick Turner and Hill. When you get in front of the microphones, make sure you back it up. You were in the game against 2nd and 3rd stringers and couldn't get open for shit. 0 catches, one pass thrown your way. Sit your ass down at the end of the bench.
4. I hate to say this but... Tim Tebow is going to be a problem.
Unfortunately it looks like our offense this year will not be good. I don't know why, but at this point, it seems like we can't run the ball down people's throats and we can't keep the defenses out of our backfield. We've seen this in 10 but we blamed it on Greene and McKnight, we've seen this in 11 and we blamed it on Hunter and Sanchez, but it seems like every week, the pass rush gets there before the WR is open or before Greene gets to the hole. The premium this year is going to be on moving the chains. Forget everything else. We're goinng to go with whoever gives the defense the most rest and can get us into FG position. Last night, I saw Tebow create. He broke out of arm tackles and rushed for 34 yards on4 carries. That's pretty good. Considering none of those came from under shotgun, that's even better. Mark is the better QB, but unless our OL suddenly decides to pass protect and Greene starts seeing the holes and getting to them a step faster, Sanchez is going to lose more and more snaps to Tebow because Tebow can get to the 1st down marker in 3 tries and no other personnel package can seem to do that.
5. Shonn Greene is done.
I was a big apologist for him but the guy is just not a starter. He might have a nice career on a team like the Pats, or somewhere else where they pass first, but not on a ground and pound team. Then again, he can't catch either. Greene is a big body back but unlike the big body backs that carried teams, he just doesn't have the foot speed. It takes him 3 steps to accelerate and that's just not going to cut it. The pupu platter of McKnight/Powell/Ganaway is going to produce our next starter and unfortunately, it won't be anyone that's going to keep defenses up at night.
6. Defense.
I liked what I saw from Coples. Hopefully when the whole squad is in there, we'll see a truly dominating unit.

I liked what I saw from Coples... but did it strike as a little odd that he was basically about to pass out from exhaustion in the 4th Q? I get it, he played the longest... but he didn't play all game. He was in on maybe 5 plays in the 1st Q. It was a night game and this is a young kid. What's going on with his stamina? If he can barely make it through 75% of a preseason game at night, I don't really feel like he's going to come up with that big sack at 3:45PM in Miami. You know? Not nitpicking, but he looked gassed beyond belief. I found that very odd.

I hear you, which is why none of what I said is dire... except that preseason or not, our OL can't block, especially at the edges. We got Buffalo in less than a month. Do you feel confident with our line against theirs?

To be fair it wasn't just Bart out of the LB corps who gave up quite big pass plays to the Bengals. But it wasn't exactly a performance from which many positives can be taken. Coples did look good, his play against the run improving as the game wore on and Demario Davis appeared to get to the ballcarrier often be it on defence or special teams.
The rest? Meh.
Saying that the Bengals offense only put 10 points as they caught a huge break with the blocked punt that was returned for a TD. A pretty standard, boring preseason game to be honest.

That's the Sanchez I know. Just check it down. He's been "schottyfied" for life.
Posted 11 August 2012 - 02:52 PM
1. 1st game under Sparano. No Holmes, the WR core is young and inexperienced. Never really expected much.
2. The OL is horrible bottom line. At the end of the day Sanchez isn't going to see 16 games. This pass pro is disgusting, the run blocking was shameful. There is a lot of work to do upfront. A LOT.
3. Sanchez needs to be more lively out there. When Tebow was in the energy level of the offense spikes. Sanchez just has a "bah-humbug" kinda look to him. Kinda pisses me off a little. He needs to get fired up. He's got to be tired of looking like a sack of sh*t all the time.
4. On Bart Scott: Jets were experimenting with sets. I'm not concerned about Bart. Bart can't, hasn't been and will never be able cover. I don't expect him to be asked to cover much. Not worried about the defense. Rex will have that unit humming by September.
5. Never was a big Shonn Greene fan. He's a #2 back. He's a guy that should be in a 2 back system. Not the lone guy to tote the rock. Jets think Shonn is some beast. The guy is nothing special.
6. Coples is going to be a superstud. He's big, he's mean and he plays the run very well and disrupts. Mo.Wilk, Maybin and Coples are going to be a damn nuisance this year.

I'm hoping to god that post wasn't supposed to mean that you think Teblow is better than Sanchez. If you think that, then PLEASE put down whatever the hell it is that you're smoking. I don't want a repeat of 1995. That's exactly what we'd have if he was our QB.
As for last night's game......the O-line wasn't absolutely terrible as a whole. Griffin & Campbell were the knuckleheads. Austin Howard actually looked pretty decent on the Left side. The right side is where our problem is.
Our receivers? Who knows honestly. Sanchez never had time to throw and Teblow CAN'T so we never had the chance to find out.
Defense......there's no doubt that the player of the night was big 6'6" #98. Coples is going to be something special if the boy can get his stamina right. He was involved again & again last night. Let's just hope that wasn't only because of it being against 2nd & 3rd stringers. He looked good and he looked hungry. We've been missing that for a long time. We need him to become that beast that he can be.
When someone annoys u, it takes 42 muscles in ur face 2 frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles 2 extend ur arm & b!tch-slap that mother@*?!&! upside the head!!
Posted 11 August 2012 - 09:11 PM
Shonn Greene is mediocre, its pretty clear watching him the last 3 years that hes just not a very talented RB. Hes usually at his best during the later months as well, he'll get you 3-4 yards a carry, but hes not a guy that will make something out of nothing and isn't explosive.
And I'm not worried about our defense at all.

Senate Schedules Hearing on FAA's Handling of Sequestration and 787 Investigation
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation announced a hearing scheduled for April 16 to review FAA's handling of the sequestration budget cuts, ongoing investigation of the Boeing 787 and the agency's progress on implementing safety provisions in recent FAA reauthorizations.
The committee said the hearing will examine the "consequences of sequestration" on the agency, which recently announced its decision to close a total of 149 air traffic control towers throughout the U.S., mostly at small and medium-sized general aviation airports. FAA was forced to reduce its budget by $637 million by the end of the 2013 fiscal year as a result of the sequester.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and NTSB Deborah Hersman will join GAO Director of Civil Aviation Issues Dr. Gerald Dillingham and DOT Assistant Inspector General on the witness panel at the hearing.
Several lawmakers on the committee were critical of FAA's handling of the sequester, including Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) who introduced an amendment to the Senate's recently passed continuing resolution to give the agency flexibility in reducing its operating budget so that it could avoid closing the towers.
Some of the airports facing tower closures are seeking lawsuits against the agency, claiming that FAA is violating a federal statute meant to ensure major changes at airports do not impact safety.
The hearing will also give lawmakers their first chance to question Huerta and Hersman about the ongoing investigation of the Boeing 787. Boeing recently conducted a test flight with the 787 featuring its redesigned lithium ion battery system, and is hoping to return the planes to commercial service soon. More

I looked in on my sweet little ones nestled snuggly in bed, cute as little pixies yesterday, when I was horror-struck to see their lovely brown-black complexions were covered with a slight whitish haze! I believe I was controlling humidity at just below 80% for the past few months, but I didn't like the look of that whitish hue of mold/yeast/fungus or whatever it is.
I jerked all the shu out of the plastic storage drawer it has been sharing with a bowl of water for the last nine months and spread it out to dry on the dining room table. The paper bags and wrappings became dry quite quickly, but the white cast is still there on the surface of the cakes, and they smell a little like ... well ... like shu.
Needless to say, I checked the sheng which is stored separately and is still looking primo. Whew, what a relief!
Fortunately, the mold is not one of the more festive holiday colors like green, red, or blue (reportedly more deleterious), and the white doesn't seem to have penetrated below the surface. I am hoping that any damage to flavor can be reversed by airing it out.
Anyone have any suggestions, observations, recommendations for what I should do going forward? I know that I'm planning a lot more dry storage for my shu in the future.

'Divestment is targeting the one thing those companies can't buy, which is their reputation.'is leaking into the outside world. The campaign's organizers point to Seattle's commitment, a bill in Vermont's state senate, a resolution to be considered by the United Church of Christ General Synod in June, and citizen-led campaigns in Portland, St. Louis, and New York City. In San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors will hold a hearing next month on a proposal to jettison $1 billion of fossil fuel investments held by the city's pension fund.
Despite student enthusiasm, there is no sign yet of a critical mass of support from university administrators.apartheid regime in the 1980s. But the fossil fuel initiative may be more akin to divestment campaigns targeting tobacco companies. Just as those campaigns tried to link tobacco companies with the health effects of smoking in the popular consciousness, the current campaign wants to tie fossil fuel companies' reputations to droughts, rising sea levels, and the obstruction of climate action. The more widespread divestment becomes, campaigners believe, the deeper the association.

Indeed, some large institutional investors warn that not responding to climate change constitutes a significant economic risk. A 2012 memo from several major investment networks responsible for more than $22.5 trillion in assets put it bluntly: "Further delay in implementing adequately ambitious climate and clean energy policy will increase investment risk for institutional investors and jeopardize the investments and retirement savings of millions of citizens."

Topic: Sort output from a hash ?
I've been using <%= debug(@session.data) -%> to display my session variables at the bottom of each screen while I'm writing a system.
I now have about 15 variables and it's hard to find the one I want as they aren't in alphabetical order. So I thought I'd just sort them so I can see them more easily. So this is the code so far - which doesn't work.
<% @session.data.keys.sort.each do |key| %>
<%= key + @session.data[key] %>
<% end %>
I get the error - can't convert nil into Array - on the second line.
Is it because the values in the value part of the pair are strings as well as numbers? All the examples in the Pickaxe book are only with numbers?
How can I do this?

Danish food has come along way since the days of cabbage sausage and rib broths! But if you're feeling adventurous, you can still try these traditional Danish dishes at inns and restaurants round the country. In the old days, Danish food evolved from its surroundings. Pork, vegetables and fish were standard fare with pickling, smoking and boiling favoured methods of preparation. Many of today's top Danish chefs have returned to these roots, combining age-old methods with new techniques and technology to develop the mega-popular New Nordic Cuisine.
The small fishing town of Skagen in North Jutland is the place to try Plaice á la Skagen, particularly Brøndum's Hotel. The town is located in a beautiful coastal area with plentiful fish, but a harsh sandy landscape which makes growing produce difficult. Berries thrive here and this recipe uses cranberries, lingonberries or raspberries in its sauce.
Limfjord, a little further south, is where you can taste some of the best eel recipes in Denmark. At Venø Inn in Struer, try their famous rolled eel (rulleål) which is boiled with onions, salt and pepper and served chilled with potatoes. For a taste of the 1700s, head to Sevel Inn in Jutland to gorge on Beer Ribs (Ølben), spareribs marinated and cooked in stout, then left and finally grilled. The perfect accompaniment to a cold beer or the inn's homemade herb schnapps.
Barge Pullers' Pot is an intriguingly named dish that dates back to the 1800s, when goods were transported around Denmark by barge. Barge pullers were employed to drag the barges along Denmark's rivers and canals and it was hungry work. Inns along the rivers would have pots of pork, beef, vegetables and smoked bacon bubbling away in readiness for the barge pullers at the end of the day. Try a slightly more sophisticated version of the original casserole at Svostrup Inn, a stone's throw from the River Guden.
South Jutland is also known for sausages. This is the place to be brave and try cabbage sausage, especially around Christmas, at inns in the region. The sausages are only served with cabbage, not made of cabbage! Head to Tyrstrup Inn for a great version of this traditional dish.
Sun eggs (Solæg) are another unusual regional speciality. Eggs are cooked with the brown husks from onions and placed in brine for up to three weeks. When they're ready, you peel and half them, remove the yolk and fill the hole with a mixture of Tabasco, oil, vinegar and mustard before putting the yolk back on top. Buch's Wine Bar in Haderslev makes a great solæg.
Sakkuk is a kind of flour pudding, served with cured lamb, pork filet, mustard and syrup. Originally served at weddings in olden days, you can still try Sakkuk at several places on the island of Fanø, including Café Nanas Stue in Sønderho. According to tradition, you must wash it down with warm white beer and schnapps.
Aerø is known for its extremely thick pancakes, made by adding yeast to the dough. In the summer, you can try the pancakes with honey and apple sauce at the street stalls at festivals and public events.
Funen omelette is an age-old speciality and Restaurant Carlslund in Odense is famous for its version, which has been on the menu since 1860. The omelette is served with roast pork, rye bread and mustard.
Take a tour of Møn on Zealand, to sample the local herring, known as Herring Bites (Bidesild). This is a centuries-old dish where the herring is marinated in large barrels of brine over many years. Try this dish with bread at restaurants such as Kaj Kok Restaurant in Land Sled. Another popular Møn specialty is wheat cakes, made with very fine flour and coated in cheese. Have these with homemade pickled plums for a delicious lunch.
The world-famous, open sandwich on rye bread, smørrebrød, became popular in Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, in the 1800s. A great place to enjoy modern versions of this dish is Ida Davidsen's shop, where you can choose from 250 different kinds of sandwich.
You can't visit Bornholm without a trip to one of the island's old smokehouses, where you can sample the delicious smoked treats and see how they are made. Sun over Gudhjem is a very famous dish of smoked herring on rye bread, with chives and a raw egg yolk.
Salt-fried herring is another old dish from Bornholm. This is herring that's been soaking in brine, then dipped in flour and fried in pork fat. A lot more delicious than it sounds! Another traditional food is Gudhjemmadyppa, bacon in sweet and sour sauce. You can try old dishes such as these at Bokulhus Restaurant in Gudhjem and various other restaurants across the island.
