Today is December 12, 2012, the last triple digit date of the 21st century.
We've already experienced 1-1-01. 2-2-02, 3-3-03, 4-4-04, 5-5-05, 6-6-06, 7-7-07, 8-8-08 (which was the opening date for the Beijing Olympics), 9-9-09, 10-10-10 and 11-11-11 last year.
And thank God I'm alive to see it.
TransGriot readers, hope this is a wonderful day for you and revel in the fact that this unique date won't come again on the calendar until the 22nd century.

What Was in the 3 Boxes
Some of you have been wondering about what was in the 3 box gift my mother had wrapped up for me for Christmas. This may be a month late but here is the beautiful angel garden statue that she gave me.
She is beautiful. Don't you think? It was such a great and touching surprise for my Christmas morning. Thanks so much Mama. I love you!

We can't resist the word "mystery" in the title of a news item, especially when that title reads "Stieg Larsson's 4th Manuscript Clouded in Mystery." A fourth manuscript?
The late Stieg Larsson is the author of the wildly popular trilogy of thrillers featuring journalist Mikael Blomkvist and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander. But as the Associated Press is reporting, a nearly completed fourth novel with the pair was found on Larsson's laptop.
"The plot is set 120 kilometers north of Sachs Harbour, at Banks Island in the month of September," Larsson wrote, about a month before his death, in an e-mail to his friend John-Henri Holmberg, who made it available to The Associated Press. "According to the synopsis it should be 440 pages." Holmberg doesn't know anything about the plot, but points out that Larsson's long-time partner Eva Gabrielsson is also aware of the unfinished novel, and probably has access to any outline made by the author before his death. For now, Swedish publisher Norstedts doesn't want to comment on the possibility of a fourth book.
The three existing titles in the series are The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

After a dreadful end to their series with the Nationals, the Phillies returned home Tuesday for an inter-league series with the Houston Astros.
Kyle Kendrick got the call for the Phillies against a Houston club that brought former Phils farmhand Jon Singleton along with it.
Singleton was a highly touted first baseman that Ruben Amaro, Jr. sent to Houston in the Hunter Pence trade. He has 10 home runs and 36 runs batted in since his call up earlier this year. Though his progress would have been blocked by Ryan Howard, a la Darin Ruf, Singleton's youth and power would be a welcome addition to a now lacking Phillies offense.
As for the game, Kyle Kendrick pitched gem, allowing just one run in seven innings. He allowed only five hits and struck out three.
The Phillies got on the board first when Howard hit one out to left field for a solo home run. The Astros would tie the game against Kendrick in the seventh inning.
Kenny Giles struck out two in the bottom of the eighth, lowering his 2014 earned run average to 1.71 in the process. He now has 31 strikeouts on the year, with just six walks. Jonathan Papelbon held the tie in the ninth inning with two strikeouts of his own.
The Phils failed to score in the bottom half of the ninth inning, so the fans were treated to some free baseball.
The game would go into the 15th inning, when Grady Sizemore led off with a single. Three batters later, Chase Utley was intentionally walked to bring Howard back to the dish. The Big Piece came through with a game winning single to plate Sizemore and send the fans home happy.
The bullpen turned in 8 scoreless innings both in relief of Kendrick & including extra innings.
Giles, Pap, Jake Diekman, Antonio Bastardo, Justin De Fratus, Mario Hollands & recent call-up Hector Neris allowed no runs and combined for 14 strikeouts. Bastardo had six strikeouts in the two innings he worked.
The Phillies take on the Astros again tonight, sending David Buchanan to mound against Brad Peacock for Houston. First pitch 7:05.

Soap dispenser latch
Model Number: E1FLW55HIWO Brand: Electrolux Age: 1 - 5 years
I have replaced the soap dispenser drawer latch twice and it keeps breaking the hook off of the end. It is plastic and does not seem to have to much spring tension on the drawer pusher assembly but what is to strong for a plastic hook. AGRAVATED!! Please help Related Models |
See inside of your appliance - diagrams and part photos for virtually every model. powered by AppliancePartsPros.com |
Contact Electrolux. They have had a number of complaints about this problem. They should offer to send you a repair bulletin along with the required parts (which is another latch and a couple soft plastic spacers.)
The latch is breaking due to the top being misaligned and pushed too far forward thereby stressing the latch. You will have to remove the top cover of the washer, stick the self adhesive spacers along the back edge of the washer frame, then replace the cover, and replace the latch. I was a little confused about the directions at first. But when it states to place the spacers "inside the screw holes" they mean to the left and right of the exsisting holes on the washer frame. Not inside the hole like you're going to screw back into the spacer. It's a very simple repair. Just a matter of removing a couple screws. Good luck. |
Electrolux Soap Dispenser Latch Problem
Samsmith (or anyone): (1) how do I remove the top cover and (2) where on the frame do I place the spacers?
My Electrolux model is EWFLW65H; but it's cabinet and dispenser drawer are identical to Papagerrybrown's EIFLW55H. Electrolux sent me the "Latch Kit" (part# 137146000). It contained a new latch and two plastic spacers; but no instructions telling me what to do with the spacers. They refuse to send me a copy of the repair service bulletin, claiming liability. Samsmith, how were you able to get a copy? Since the latch on my washer first broke 9 months after my 1-year warranty for repairs had expired, Electrolux also refuses to cover having the spacers installed by a factory-authorized service provider. Help! Last edited by robby1001 : 09-03-2010 at 11:37 AM. Reason: model# err in original post |
papagerrybrown, I believe you made an error when typing the model ID of your washer. Probably should be "EIFLW......" instead of "E1FLW......". (capitol i for the 2nd character, instead of the number 1)
Last edited by robby1001 : 09-03-2010 at 11:32 AM. Reason: error in my original post |
It's service bulletin LN0903. I would think a parts dealer should be able to get you a copy. If not, I still have it and can email you a copy. |
Samsmith, a big success! Many, many thanks! With my model# and the LN# you gave, Sears Parts & Service found the bulletin easily and printed me a copy. Installing the spacers was simple, just as you had written in your first post. I probably could have gotten by without the bulletin; but having it, gave me assurance that I was doing it correctly. By the way, this forum & thread was the only reference to the problem that I could find anywhere.
In case anyone else needs it, the Electrolux bulletin is called "SERVICE FLASH LN0903, Dispenser Drawer Will Not Remain In The Closed Position". It applies to these 7 Electrolux (front-load) washers: EIFLW55HIW, EIFLW55HMB, EIFLW55IKG, EIFLW55IRR, EWFLW65HIW, EWFLW65HSS, EWFLW65HTS, EWFLW65IMB, and EWFLW65IRR. For parts, ask Electrolux to send you a "Latch Kit", part# 137146000. Last edited by robby1001 : 09-05-2010 at 01:54 PM. Reason: to tidy up |
Spacer instructions
I have the same problem. The latch was easy to replace but there is no instructions on what to do with the spacers. Could someone email me them please? My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
Instructions for the spacers
jbkulp, I've attached the first page of Service Flash LN0903. It tells how to remove the top panel, where to place the spacers, etc.. (The other 3 pages tell only how to install the latch itself.)
Big Thank-you
I registered on this site just so I could thank thank-you for posting this info, especially the bulletins and instructions on placing the spacers. I am the wife of a deployed soldier with 5 kids. Everything seems to break when dad is gone, but we averted laundry disaster with your help. Electrolux was super quick getting us the parts, but not so helpful with instructions. Thanks again!!!

Labour MP says Parker would have won
An interesting profile of David Parker by Vernon Small in the Dom Post. What grabbed my attention is:
But last week one senior Labour MP said he believed if Mr Parker moved, he could get the numbers to roll the leader.
A senior Labour MP must mean a front-bencher I'd say. It confirms what I suspect that if someone did want the job, they would have it.

Calamity allows you to drive your application through a global event bus, facilitating loosely-coupled event-driven architectures.
Available via npm: npm install calamity
.Local event busses are used on individual classes and objects to allow them to publish events others can subscribe to.
When attaching a local event bus, two methods are made available: on()
and trigger()
on(address, handler(msg) )
Attaches the function handler(msg)
to be executed when address
is triggered.
When handler
is executed, Calamity will automatically bind its execution to the subscribing object.
trigger(address [, data [, replier(reply) ] ] )
Triggers any handlers attached to address
is an arbitrary object which will be provided to the handler via its message.
is a secondary handler function which will be executed in case the main handler executes a reply (more on this later).
Consider this imaginary View
Calamity = require "calamity"
_ = require "underscore"
class View
Calamity.emitter @prototype
@trigger "beforeRender"
_.defer =>
# Real render code ...
@element.find("#closeButton").click =>
@trigger "closeButtonClicked"
@trigger "afterRender"
Now using the on()
method, any code with a reference to the view can subscribe to events coming out of it.
In this example we can act on the view starting and finishing its render routine.
Additionally, the view attaches to the click event on a DOM element, propagating it to a Calamity event on the view itself, thereby abstracting it away.
view = new View()
view.on "closeButtonClicked", ->
A more powerful example of Calamity is using it as a global event bus which spans your entire application.
The global event bus proxy attaches three methods: subscribe()
, publish()
and send()
subscribe( address, handler(msg) )
Attaches the function handler(msg)
to be executed when messages are published or sent to address
When handler
is executed, Calamity will automatically bind its execution to the subscribing object.
publish( address [, data [, replier(reply) ] ] )
Sends a message to address
is an arbitrary object which will be provided to the handler via its message.
is a secondary handler function which will be executed in case the main handler executes a reply (more on this later).
send( address [, data [, replier(reply) ] ] )
Works exactly like publish()
with the notable difference that only one subscribing handler will be executed.
This is useful for sending commands instead events.
Calamity = require "calamity"
class Foo
Calamity.proxy @prototype
constructor: () ->
@subscribe "address", @handler
handler: (msg) ->
# Proxy automatically handles binding to this.
@data = msg.data
Now, whenever any object publishes a message to the foo:bar
address, handler will be called and you can react on it.
Events tell of something which happened and are transmitted using trigger()
and publish()
Normally events will not be replied to and will originate from a single source.
Commands are instructions to perform an action and are transmitted using send()
The local events mixin does not include a mechanism for sending commands.
Commands are much more likely to send replies than events, as they often need to report on their progress.
Commands will usually only be subscribed to by a single object type, and be sent from many.
Within Calamity there is no real difference between an event and a command, other than the method used for sending it.
Both of them use the EventMessage
class to contain themselves.
When subscribing to an address, the attached handler is expected to accept a single argument: an EventMessage
This object encapsulates the entire message and everything that can be done with it.
The following properties are available on EventMessage
: The address the message was sent to.msg.data
: The raw data object supplied on creation.msg.status
: The status of the message. This can beeither "ok" or "error". Error is used by replyError()
. To check for erros, isError()
should be used.msg.error
: If msg.status
is "error", this will contain the error supplied to replyError()
.The following methods can be used to interact with the message:
getOptional( param, default )
: Returns a value from msg.data
. If the value does not exist, the supplied default
is returned.getRequried( param )
: Returns a value from msg.data
. IF the value does not exist, an Error
is thrown.reply( data[, replier(msg) ] )
: Sends a reply to the sender.replyError( error[, replier(msg) ] )
: Sends an error reply to the sender.isError()
: Returns true if the message represents an error. The supplied error is available via msg.error

Poorly Phrased Question
Posted by Shane Smith in Barack Obama, Mitt Romney on October 17, 2012
Interesting interview with one of the mini-Mitts:
BILL LUMAYE: I'm going to ask something I think a lot of people want to know, or at least I do. What is it like for you to hear the President of the United States call your dad a liar. How do you react to that?
TAGG ROMNEY: Jump out of your seat and you want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him. But you know you can't do that because… Well, first there is a lot of Secret Service between you and him but also because this is the nature of the process.
You know another question we could ask Tagg or Catch or Hula Hoop or whatever his name is? How about "how does it feel to hear the President call your dad a liar, and then have the fact checkers back it up?" We could also phrase that as 'how does it feel to know your dad is a liar and pathetic sack of shit?'"
But then Foursquare or whatever his name is is the same quality jerk. What is his worry about taking a swing at a guy for being right? Oh yeah, the secret service.
They sure raise those Romney's to be classy.

The Internet. The Present and Future of Politics
Posted by in This Blog on April 23, 2010
It was 1960 during the Presidential election between Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy. The polls were running neck and neck and there was no clear-cut winner until one event that changed politics forever.
It was the first ever televised presidential debate. It was not so much the substance of the debate that had such a profound impact, but rather how each of them appeared on the new medium of television.
On one side you had Richard M. Nixon the sitting Vice President who sported a slight five o'clock shadow which, against the black and white picture, made him appear brooding. Along side was a young and photogenic JFK that the camera took too immediately. This event catapulted then Senator Kennedy into the White House and into history.
Fast forward to the 2008 Presidential Election, again we had cross generational candidates. Both Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama were very adept at television so there was no real advantage there like in 1960, but what made the difference for Barack Obama was just as profound if not more than television was for Nixon and Kennedy. It was the internet, and it made all the difference in the world to who now occupies the White House.
Obama's campaign took a page out of Howard Dean's 2004 campaign and built up an army of supporters by using social networks, blogs, and websites to raise millions from small donations solicited on the Internet.
The Republican Party must learn from this and meet the Democrats internet advantage head on. The internet is the future of politics and the party that uses it most effectively will be the ones who raise the most money and win elections.
Right now we, as Republicans, are the scruffy faced Richard Nixon and the Democrats are the JFK. It need not be that way. Conservatives and Republicans dominated the Internet till around 2006. We can take it back, and must get it back to stop Barack Obama from making this country no longer the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

Disrespect of President by Fox News' Brett Baier, Felt Racist
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 4th Estate (Media), American History, Barack Obama on March 18, 2010
Fox disgusts me. Obama should have walked out. His adept handling of Baier reflected a lifetime of experience dealing with White folks who can't muster an ounce of respect for a Black man of superior intelligence and authority.
Fox News' Bret Baier interrupted President Obama so many times during Wednesday's interview that Newsweek described the encounter as a "interrupt-a-thon." – Huffington Post
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
I remember eight long years of listening to Hannity, O'Reilly et. al. tell us how unpatriotic is to show disrespect for the President of the United States.

Obama Wants to Privatize WHAT?
Posted by Dwight Sheldon Adams in Barack Obama, Conservatives, National Politics, People Are Nuts, Republicans, Rob Bishop, Space, This Blog on February 12, 2010
Thanks to Steve Murray of West Bountiful for bringing this to my attention with his pointed letter to the sltrib.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported that "Obama wants to outsource future space flights to private companies." This hits me close to home, because I have a brother-in-law who works for a rocket engineering firm. I am, of course, concerned about his job security. Rob Bishop and Bob Bennett (Rob and Bob), on the other hand, have much larger concerns. Read the rest of this entry »
A Letter to President Obama
Posted by Cliff Lyon in Barack Obama on January 21, 2010
I concur.
This is a letter written on the day that Obama brought down the hammer on banks and the day after Ted Kennedy's seat went to a nobody who posed naked for Cosmopolitan magazine.
Re-posted from Posted Without Comment a DailyKos diary.
Dear President Obama,
As someone who has been active in Democratic politics for decades and as someone who supported and worked to elect you both to the Senate and the presidency, I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I have been by your performance.
From your selection of staff (Rahm Emanuel), and cabinet members and advisors (Geithner, Summers, et.al.), you have chosen to surround yourself with those with deep histories of favoring corporations and Wall Street over the average citizen.
The result is now clear to see: a year of work on your claimed biggest priority, health care reform, going down the drain. How sad and embarrassing, not to mention devastating, to those millions needing health care and to the Democratic Party and our hopes for 2010.
Your lack of leadership on the health care effort came back to bite you in a very big way. And your lack of urgent response to a banking and financial system run amok — a system that has consistently favored big money interests over those of the average citizen — may prove to be the undoing of both you and the party.Your rhetoric today on breaking up the big banks may be too little, too late. You surrounded yourself with Wall Street sycophants who, apparently, insulated you from the anger that has been bubbling up from the streets for months.
It makes me sad to have to write this letter to you, but my disappointment is profound.
I hope you begin to understand the real pain people are experiencing in our country. And I hope you begin to see that the average citizen needs a voice — and an advocate — in our government.
The big money interests have increasingly dominated the policy machinery of government, much to the detriment of our democracy (made only worse by today's Supreme Court decision granting additional campaign money powers to corporations).
And instead of stepping up and stopping this malignant spread, you and your team have embraced and even encouraged it.
I guess I'm not only sad and disappointed, I'm disgusted.
Count me out of your corner for 2012. If I had wanted more corporate-centric Clintonism, I would have worked to elect Hillary.
Perhaps you'll change. But I'm not holding my breath…

Haiti, rightwing paradise

The Fox "news" coverage of Haiti has been very informative so far.

Prizes Just Aren't What They Used to Be.
Posted by in This Blog on October 9, 2009
When I was a kid I loved the prizes we got in cereal boxes. When we opened a box of cereal we would excitedly dig down deep to find the prize. Back then we got cool stuff like Matchbox Cars and Hot Wheels, Army Men, yoyos, puzzles, games, iron-ons, temporary tattoos, action figures and stuff you had to put together. Now days if there is anything at all in the boxes it's just crap. Nope, prizes just aren't what they used to be. Just like Nobel Peace Prizes.
Obama Snubs the Dalai Lama
Posted by in Barack Obama, china, Human Rights, This Blog on October 6, 2009
In a move that would make Neville Chamberlain proud President Barack Obama has become the first President to snub the Dalai Lama to appease Communist China. The Dalai Lama is visiting Washington and was scheduled to meet with the President but in a stunning move The White House, under pressure from China, abruptly canceled the visit. This from a President who has bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, shook hands with Hugo Chavez, counts among his admirers as Daniel Ortega, Moammar Kadafi, and Fidel Castro.
From the BBC Obama 'snubs' Dalai Lama meeting
US President Barack Obama has been accused of bowing to Chinese pressure by delaying a meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
Mr Obama has said he will not meet the Dalai Lama, who is currently in the US, until after visiting China in November.
China is becoming our largest creditor and Obama needs their money to help fund his pet projects, particularly health care. China is buying our treasury notes in the trillions putting the United States in bondage to a country who abhors freedom and human rights. China has become a super-power and the United States is the only thing standing in its way to becoming the dominant super-power. Many in this country dream of the day when the United States loses its super-power status, but do you think the cause of human rights and freedom will be advanced with China being the dominant power? Our growing dependency on China will hasten this disastrous scenario.
The White House says they are only delaying the visit till after Obama meets with the Chinese Government but the fact he postponed the visit at the bidding of the Chinese Government speaks volumes about who is in charge.
Do we dare say the Manchurian President?

My Teddy Story
Posted by Cliff Lyon in American History, Barack Obama, This Blog on August 29, 2009
Watching the coverage of the passing of Ted Kennedy, I am overwhelmed by the simple stories of his impact on the personal lives of so many people. So I shall tell mine.
I've rarely told my story to anyone because it is relatively insignificant but for the fact that it was Ted Kennedy. Ted taught me how to tie a flying bowline one early evening at the end of a private dock in the Vineyard Sound in 1974, I think.
If the setting puts me in elitist territory, it by circumstance. It wasn't my choice, I was 14ish. Some of the Kennedy/Schriver clan had sailed over in the Maya from Hyannisport, as they did sometimes several times every summer. They always stayed next door at the Styron's and invaded the small detached house house that was our primary hangout.
I was the summer of poker. There were a group of us, all 14-years old. We played poker into the wee hours of the morning, every night with a vengeance. That was also the summer I first met James Taylor and Carley Simon. Tommy and I were sitting on the green steps of the front porch of the main house when Carley strode down the lawn with this straggly, skinny guy wearing nothing but gym shorts. I recognized Carley immediately. As they continued toward us, I asked Tommy, "Who's the straggly guy with Carley?"
Things like that happened at the Styrons all the time. Ted rarely came over on the boat. He seemed to show up out of nowhere and disappear as fast, as was the case that day.
So there I sat, alone at the end of the dock at dusk when Ted Kennedy came walking out. I held a piece of line in my hand. He sat next to me and offered to show me how to tie a flying bowline. I thought to myself, "sure, old man. Lets see what you got." Of course, I could already tie a bowline in my sleep. But he did it faster than anyone I had ever seen. I was impressed. He knew it.
Then he showed me in slow motion how to do it. I practiced a few times until he approved. Then we sat for a while and looked out at the Mya anchored a hundred yards off. He said "nice to meet you," and walked back.
I have taught this technique to many people since. That was my only encounter with Ted.
As you listen and watch to stories, histories, and postmortems, you will hear one single word more than any other; Justice. For all the Kennedy's justice was the litmus test. The standard. The bold clear line. It was never a thin one for any of the Kennedy's, and justice is not a thin line for me or any of the millions of progressives for whom the Kennedy's were the standard bearers.
Many in conservative America cannot understand how such a liberal man could be so powerful for so long. The answer is justice. Justice prevails over righteousness and 'freedom' every time. This is the essence of America. Justice must win every time and in each case where justice meets freedom, justice must always prevail.
Teddy Kennedy's passing leaves a gaping hole in The American Psyche that I fear may never be filled.
But, "The Dream lives on."

Posted by Cliff Lyon in Barack Obama, Bigotry, John McCain, Laugh on July 11, 2009
I hate country music, but there is something sickly optimistic in this music video parody. This is for the ages.
When Toby Keith came out in support of Obama it proved that even backwards hicks think he's the better candidate. Source

Video: Obama nominates Huntsman for ambassador
Posted by Becky Stauffer in Barack Obama, Jon Huntsman, This Blog on May 16, 2009
"This ambassadorship is as important as any in the world." I think Utahns who have criticized Huntsman for his moderate positions should be impressed and proud that our governor has the sensitivity and diplomacy skills needed for this post. Even though I did not vote for Huntsman, I do think he has been a good governor and he will represent our state well in this new role.

The art of diplomacy
Posted by Becky Stauffer in Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, Peace on April 19, 2009
Again, we get a stark comparison in styles between President Obama and the previous administration.
To me that handshake with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez symbolizes one of the things I like so much about Obama. He doesn't avoid the face to face meeting, but walks right up to an adversary and says, "Let's talk." The old American arrogance has been replaced with strength and confidence. The first step in diplomacy is establishing an environment where discussion can take place. Obama has opened the door.

The Bible tells us "when words are many, sin is not absent" (Prov. 10:19, NIV). That's because the tongue can cause quite a storm. Though only a small member of our bodies, it is very unruly and can create havoc in just moments.
Like a swirling tornado of ruinous words, a tongue twister can wipe out a relationship in seconds. One brief "touchdown" from this destructive verbal cyclone can instantly blow the roof off a peaceful household or tear down a bridge of trust that took years to construct. As dangerous and untamable as a rogue wind, the tongue, when unleashed, can create devastating -- even irreparable -- damage.
But what can we do about it? The Bible also declares "the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless (undisciplined, irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison" (James 3:8, "The Amplified Bible").
Does that mean we are helpless to control it? No! Though the tongue may be as impossible to tame as the wind and waves, we do have a responsibility. In fact, the apostle James wrote, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless" (James 1:26, NIV).
We may not be able to "tame" the tongue so that it permanently obeys us, but we are instructed to "keep a rein on" or "reign over" the tongue. Our religion is worthless and ineffective if we cannot measure our words and discipline our tongues to speak only those things that are edifying, gracious and truthful. Sometimes keeping silent is better than even good words. "He who holds his tongue is wise," Proverbs says (Prov. 10:19).
The Bible is full of scriptures that teach us about the incredible force of the tongue and our obligation to "reign over" it. It is clear that God is concerned about the way we speak.
But there's more. It is not just the actual choice of words God is interested in; it is the motive behind the words. The condition of the heart, which cultivates our speech, is His primary concern.
Jesus confirmed this truth in one of His dialogues with the Pharisees. He told them, "You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt. 12:34).
Jesus didn't mince words. He let us know that if we store up evil things in our hearts, the poison will overflow into our mouths and be released through our conversations. Conversely, if we store up good things in our hearts, the flowing river of our words will be uncontaminated and full of life.
The Lord made it clear that it is not what enters into our mouths that defiles us, but what proceeds out of our mouths (see Matt. 15:11). In other words, we are not corrupt because we speak bad words; we speak bad words because of the corruption in our hearts. Our mouths and our hearts are linked together in an inseparable way. If we are unsurrendered in our hearts, we will be unsurrendered in our speech. God's solution is for us to submit both heart and tongue to Him.
That is why David wrote, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer" (Ps. 19:14). Solomon, too, acknowledged the connection between the head and the heart when he admonished: "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips" (Prov. 4:23-24).
Since the real heart of the issue then, is the issue of the heart, it is important that we guard our hearts with all diligence and continue to submit to God's probing and testing. He alone knows our true condition. As long as we seek to please Him, as David did, and allow Him to purify our hearts, we can avoid the devastation tongue twisters bring.

Our First "Ocean" Picture
Here we are at Myrtle Beach this weekend. We didn't spend much time at the actual beach. We did go to the wine festival, though. Mmm, mmm. And to a restaurant where I had boiled shrip doused in Old Bay. And I got a good run in on Saturday morning.
All in all, it was a good "long-weekend" vacation.

Important 1870 Twenty Dollar in Aluminum, Judd-1039
1870 $20 Twenty Dollar, Judd-1039, Pollock-1174, High R.7, PR64 Cameo PCGS. A possibly unique die trial striking from regular issue 1870 Double Eagle dies, but struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Examples of aluminum strikings are also known for the other gold denominations of this year, which were likely produced as presentation pieces. Specimens are also known in copper and in nickel. The primary source of these important patterns is the 1954 auction of the King Farouk holdings, also the origin of this aluminum representative. A small flip that accompanies attributes the piece to the Palace Collection, although it is not signed like the 1885 $5 aluminum pattern later in the sale.This specimen appears to have escaped the harsh treatment received by many of the Farouk coins, its bright, watery mirrors being totally void of hairlines. A squiggly hairline planchet crack that angles down from Liberty's upper lip is nearly expected of early aluminum strikings and a few paper thin grease stains are noticed on the portrait. The only post minting blemish we can find is a shallow frost break on Liberty's neck. Of course, these rather trivial distractions are made even more inconsequential by the uniqueness of this important offering.

- 24 years ago, I thought I was so mature. I now realize that maturing takes a long time, and I still have a ways to go.
- 24 years ago, I thought I knew pretty much the path my life would take. I now realize that no one ever knows exactly the path her life will take.
- 24 years ago, I thought I knew all about faith in general, and my faith in particular. I now realize that faith is something that is not necessarily (or even ideally) set in stone when one is 21 years old.
- 24 years ago, I thought that marriage was a destination at which I had finally arrived after months of waiting for the "big day." Now I know that what had arrived was just the wedding ceremony--and that marriage is a journey that will take a lifetime to travel.
- 24 years ago, I thought that no one could be more in love with anyone than I was with my husband. Now I know that the love I felt on that day was just a hint of what was to come.

Congrats on your anniversary! I'll celebrate 12 years with my honey next month, and I agree with all of the comments you shared.
I always say that they "two" do not become "one" on their wedding day. They are continually becoming "one" throughout the years of marriage. It's not easy, but it's worth it. God knew what He was doing when he created marriage. May the Lord bless you with many, many more wonderful years with your husband.

The Weekend Rent: Dreamy Movies That Might Have Inspired Inception
Unless you've been sound asleep or living in your own dream world, you know that the summer's most mind-twisting movie—Christopher Nolan's Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio—opens this weekend. Dreams make fertile fodder for a filmmaker's imagination because they open up the possibility of bending the rules, which Inception surely does, but the idea of getting into other people's heads while they are dreaming is not a new one. Here are three dreamy (or nightmarish) movies that might have inspired Nolan.
Got a favorite dream movie? Let us know at email@example.com.
Which one of these people is in the movie Almost Christmas?

A series of accidents at France's controversial Cattenom nuclear power station has prompted the government in neighbouring Luxembourg to take the unprecedented step of issuing free iodine pills to its half a million citizens to help protect them in the event of a serious nuclear incident at the plant.
The extraordinary measures were announced on Wednesday this week by Luxembourg's Interior Minister Dan Kersch, who said they were designed to "prevent panic" and the likelihood of a "rush" on the country's chemists in the aftermath of an accident at Cattenom. "The keywords here are 'early precaution'," Mr Kersch said.
The announcement was accompanied by photographs published by Luxembourg's media showing boxes of 65 milligram Potassium Iodide pills that will shortly be distributed to the public. All the boxes were stamped with the warning: "Only to be used in the event of a nuclear accident," written in red.
Taking large amounts of iodine in the aftermath of a nuclear accident is referred to as "blocking". The measure is designed to prevent the thyroid gland storing additional radioactive contaminated iodine and the subsequent risk of thyroid cancer.
France's Cattenom power plant is located in the Lorraine region close to the Luxembourg border. France and Belgium already have an iodine pill provision scheme for people living close to the plant. The government in the neighbouring German state of Saarland has also issued every locality in a 25 kilometre radius of Cattenom with its own supplies of iodine.
The plant, which consists of four pressurised water reactors, went online in 1986 and remains one of France's most productive nuclear reactors. But a series of accidents, which last year culminated in the deaths of two workers, have brought renewed demands for its early closure from France's neighbours and provoked demonstrations by anti-nuclear groups. In Germany, Cattenom is widely referred to as the "problem" power plant. German media reports said one of its reactors had to be taken off stream last weekend to enable workers to repair a defective pipe system.
"We want to do everything and exert political pressure to ensure that Cattenom is shut down as soon as possible," said Saarland's Social Democrat Interior Minister Reinhold Jost this week. In September, French and German anti-nuclear campaigners held a demonstration at Cattenom demanding its immediate closure.
In February 2013 two workers carrying out routine maintenance in a reactor building at Cattenom died after a platform on which they were working became detached and dropped several metres to the floor. Another worker was seriously injured. Two further incidents occurred at the plant three months later.
Germany is hoping that a new French energy bill passed in Paris last week will bring about Cattenom's closure although the plant is scheduled to stay open until 2050. The new legislation aims to cut the amount of nuclear power on which France relies from 75 to 50 per cent by 2025.
While Cattenom's fate remains undecided, France is on course to shut down two of its older nuclear reactors in 2016 when a new plant in Flamanville on the Normandy coast comes into operation.

License to Kill
Love, friendship, respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.
Chekhov, "Notebooks"
On September 11, 2001, a horrified world watched in disbelief as hijacked airplanes maneuvered by terrorists crashed into New York's World Trade Center, killing thousands. The question that perplexed most people that day was why someone would not only murder the innocent, but commit suicide in the process. The answer lies in the devotion to a specific "cause"—most often religious—and the overwhelming hatred that people can harbor. Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda network's motives for terror has often been attributed to a deep-rooted hatred of the West (particularly the US), and the fear of the Westernization that is sweeping the world. Religion, and its specific fundamentals, frequently serves as the motive for various religious militant groups - from Muslim organizations such as Hamas to pro-life Christian groups - in their attempt to combat their so-called enemy and "cleanse" the world.
In Terror in the Name of God: Why Religious Militants Kill, author Jessica Stern investigates a number of religious militant organizations and their motivations for terror. Interestingly, the common denominator that each group shares is their vision: Each believes that that its way is right, and that there is an evil force that has to be destroyed. However, the "evil force" in question varies.
As Stern explains, a common view is that "evil arises from trauma. When the pain of trauma is so great that the victim cannot sustain feeling, he too becomes susceptible to propagating further evil." The feeling that they have suffered motivates militants to make their oppressors suffer in return. Stern's chapters on the Palestinian crisis exemplify this best. The anger and powerlessness that many Palestinians feel towards the Israelis has motivated Palestinian terrorist groups such as Hamas to inspire and recruit young activists to join their ranks and commit suicide bombings and other acts of violence. Stern writes that "The terrorist leaders deliberately inculcate the idea that martyrdom operations' are sacred acts, worthy of both earthly and heavenly rewards." Thus, the promise of paradise and God's approval becomes the prime motivation for the martyr-to-be.
Though the profile of the religious militant is gradually changing (a number of al Qaeda operatives, for example, are educated and middle class), the stereotype of the average suicide bomber is still frequently that of a lonely, poor, unemployed youth with no real prospects who feels that he or she is at the end of their tether, and who finds comfort only at the local mosque. There, the youth is then spotted by, say, Hamas "recruiters" and promised a more rewarding afterlife. The level of interest in youths sacrificing themselves for their "cause," however, has reached such unparalleled levels in recent years that, as the author explains, "Hamas no longer needs to recruit suicide bombers; they are swamped with volunteers requiring little indoctrination." By sacrificing themselves as martyrs, their impoverished families also stand to benefit both financially and socially as the religious militant groups with which their children are affiliated offer financial assistance and promote the respective family as honored members of the community.
Inside the US, Stern focuses on the hard-core pro-life Christian groups who kill abortion doctors and destroy abortion clinics in their efforts to "save the babies." With their beliefs firmly grounded in the Bible, these militants justify their violence with claims that they are destroying those who murder unborn children. As part of her research, the author met with two of the movement's leaders, Michael Bray and Paul Hill. Hill, a former minister and currently serving a sentence in prison, claims that "the abortionist's knife is cutting edge of Satan's current attack on the world," and that all unborn children must be saved. Though vehemently religious, the anti-abortionists seem to feel no remorse or guilt for their own attempts to kill. Again, as is the case with most religious militants, they excuse their actions as payback for the evil that is being promoted by evil-mongers (in this case, abortion doctors and clinics) and has to be stopped. Violence, often frowned upon by most religious doctrines, becomes, oddly enough, the most important tool with which militants can convey their views in a manner that requires serious attention.
In other chapters, Stern focuses on other religious organizations in Indonesia and Pakistan such as Laskar Jihad and Lashkar e Taiba, who have reported ties with Al Qaeda. The author also discusses the dangers of "lone-wolf avengers" that have cropped up in recent years who, though motivated by religious reasons, are not necessarily affiliated with any particular group. The Pakistani immigrant, Mir Aimal Kansi, falls in this category. He randomly shot several CIA employees in Langley, Va. in 1993. Currently behind bars, Kansi stated his reasons for the attack to the author: "I attacked the CIA for both religious and political reasons." He then explains that "American policies are 'anti-Islamic'" and that he had desired only to harm US officials, not "ordinary Americans."
Stern, a US terrorism expert, also alerts the West to the continuous rise in religious terrorism that is taking hold worldwide, a phenomenon that seems to be growing at an alarming rate. Their ability to find abundant funding and support has allowed many of these organizations to establish footholds in the West. As Stern explains, "They are buying firearms at American gun shows, studying at American flight schools, and soliciting donations from American and other Western citizens."
Terror in the Name of God is a fascinating read, written by an expert who has successfully managed to put herself in the militants' shoes, and view the world as they do. Perhaps the most telling sentence in the book is at the very beginning: "Religious terrorism arises from pain and loss and from impatience with a God who is slow to respond to our plight, who doesn't answer." The pain and loss has, unfortunately, created a desperate, monstrous world that is now clearly in the process of harming itself.

Stripping the sides of the Teardrop trailer was alot of fun…and there are so many creative ways that you do it. I did a lot of searching and staring a a blank piece of plywood before deciding. I found inspiration and ideas, for instance, looking through collectable cars magazines. While one might not recognize them…there's a little bit of a 57 Chev in the fins, and I looked real hard at some old Pontiacs, Buicks and Fords.
The Yin and Yang of this trailer is the use of many contrasting woods…starting with purple heart to anchor the bottom, the main body with western red cedar, and accents of ash and alaska yellow cedar.
When doing a stripper design, you want to make sure that you preserve the long sweeping lines of full strips running front to back. That adds style and makes the shape flow.

Thanks all…it was fun to build!!! Rick and Bill…I ordered the 2000# Dexter torsion axle and welded the trailer myself. The 5'x9' frame is built from 1/8" – 2" box steel. The jacks, coupler and parts are Fulton. Jim and all…There are some pics of the construction at the build website http://sites.google.com/site/slumbermax/. The trailer is fiberglassed and then shot with Dupont Chromaclear auto clear for UV. Steve…The trailer is definately overweight and overbuilt…so it porks out at about 1200 dry with 125# tongue weight. But it pulls fine behind a Honda Element rated at 1500#s. |

VINA DEL MAR, Chile (AP) — Rafael Nadal and Juan Monaco reached the doubles semifinals at the VTR Open with a 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) victory over Guillaume Ruffin and Filippo Volandri on Thursday.
It was Nadal's third match in three days after being away from the tour for just over seven months with an inflamed left ankle and a stomach virus.
HE'S BACK: 7 thoughts on Nadal's return
Nadal faces fellow Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver in the singles quarterfinals on Friday.
The former No. 1-ranked Nadal moved easily around the court, showing no signs his left knee was bothering him.
"He is worrying about his knees, he's worried about his health. He's worried about getting back to a good competitive level," his spokesman Benito Perez-Barbadillo said.
"He's not worried in a negative way," he added. "What he cares about is to be healthy and be ready to be competitive at every level he plays and to be at the same level as he was playing before."
Nadal came to Chile wanting to get playing time as he tries to catch up to his top rivals Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic again. If he keeps winning in singles and doubles he will be playing two matches a day this weekend.
Nadal won the last of his eight doubles titles last year with Mark Lopez in Indian Wells. He has won 50 titles in singles.
Nadal is being treated as if he's a rock star in Chile, where he had never played until this week.
"I feel like just another Chilean," he said Wednesday. The quote showed up in the headlines of several Chilean newspapers on Thursday.
Cilic moves on in Zagreb
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Top-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia moved a step closer to a third title in his home event, beating Grega Zemlja 6-3, 6-2 Thursday to reach the quarterfinals of the Zagreb Indoors.
Cilic won this tournament in 2009 and 2010 and improved his record at the event to 14-4. He had 11 aces and broke his opponent three times.
"I am very pleased with the way I played," Cilic said. "I felt he was nervous in the beginning and it helped me gain an early advantage."
Cilic will face another Slovenian, Blaz Kavcic, who upset sixth-seeded Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 and reach his third career quarterfinal. Baghdatis, the 2007 champion, failed to serve out the match at 5-4 in the second set, and pulled out of the doubles because of a foot injury.
"I did not want to take any risks," he said. "I have to give credit to Kavcic, he played well."
Ivan Dodig also reached the quarterfinals by defeating Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (2), 6-7 (2), 6-3. Dodig wasted a match point at 5-4 in the second set, allowing Karlovic his only break.
Dodig will play defending champion Mikhail Youzhny on Friday.
Fourth-seeded Jurgen Melzer of Austria rallied past Somdev Devvarman of India 1-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2. Devvarman had a 5-3 lead in the tiebreaker, but then lost four points in a row.
Robin Haase of the Netherlands defeated fifth-seeded Martin Klizan of Slovakia 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
Also Thursday, Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic ousted Italy's Flavio Cipolla 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 and Philipp Petzchner of Germany beat Croatian wild card Dino Marcan 6-3, 6-4. Marcan entered the tournament as a replacement for second-seeded Andreas Seppi, who withdrew because of an illness.
Llodra, Gasquet advance
MONTPELLIER, France (AP) — Frenchman Michael Llodra had 13 aces and did not concede a break point as he beat second-seeded Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia 6-3, 7-6 (4) Thursday to reach the Open Sud de France quarterfinals.
Llodra hit 20 winners in the first set and was the more aggressive player throughout, using his excellent volleying at the net to keep Tipsarevic back. The Serb saved two break points at 15-40 in the 11th game of the second set and then opened up a 3-1 lead in the tiebreaker, but Llodra fought back and sealed victory with consecutive aces.
"My serve was good today and that helps on a quick surface like this," Llodra said. "There wasn't much in it, but I think I had more chances than him. I'm very happy to have won in straight sets."
Fourth-seeded Gilles Simon had 12 aces as he also advanced to the last eight with a 7-6 (5), 6-2 win against qualifier Arnau Brugues-Davi. The match would have been over quicker, but Simon only managed to convert three of his 14 break points against the Spaniard.
Simon next faces eighth-seeded Benoit Paire in an all-French match, while Llodra plays Jan Hajek of the Czech Republic — who led 6-0, 4-2 against seventh-seeded Viktor Troicki when the Serb retired from their match.
"He impressed me earlier," Llodra said of Hajek. "The match is within my reach but all of these matches are tough."
Sergiy Stakhovsky also advanced by beating Tatsuma Ito of Japan 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3) and the Ukrainian will face Jarkko Nieminen of Finland.
Third-seeded Richard Gasquet will meet No. 6 Julien Benneteau in another all-French match after coming back from an error-strewn second set to beat compatriot Gael Monfils 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.
Benneteau cruised into the quarterfinals, taking little over an hour to defeat Victor Hanescu of Romania 6-4, 6-4.
