More in the series of bizarre UEFI bugs
A (well, now former) coworker let me know about a problem he was having with a Lenovo Thinkcentre M92p. It booted Fedora UEFI install media fine, but after an apparently successful installation refused to boot. UEFI installs on Windows worked perfectly. Secure Boot was quickly ruled out, but this could still have been a number of things. The most interesting observation was that the Fedora boot option didn't appear in the firmware boot menu at all, but Windows did. We spent a little while comparing the variable contents, gradually ruling out potential issues - Linux was writing an entry that had an extra 6 bytes in a structure, for instance[1], and a sufficiently paranoid firmware implementation may have been tripping up on that. Fixing that didn't help, though. Finally we tried just taking the Windows entry and changing the descriptive string. And it broke.
Every UEFI boot entry has a descriptive string. This is used by the firmware when it's presenting a menu to users - instead of "Hard drive 0" and "USB drive 3", the firmware can list "Windows Boot Manager" and "Fedora Linux". There's no reason at all for the firmware to be parsing these strings. But the evidence seemed pretty strong - given two identical boot entries, one saying "Windows Boot Manager" and one not, only the first would work. At this point I downloaded a copy of the firmware and started poking at it. Turns out that yes, actually, there is a function that compares the descriptive string against "Windows Boot Manager" and appears to return an error if it doesn't match. What's stranger is that it also checks for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" and lets that one work as well.
This is, obviously, bizarre. A vendor appears to have actually written additional code to check whether an OS claims to be Windows before it'll let it boot. Someone then presumably tested booting RHEL on it and discovered that it didn't work. Rather than take out that check, they then addded another check to let RHEL boot as well. We haven't yet verified whether this is an absolute string match or whether a prefix of "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" is sufficient, and further examination of the code may reveal further workarounds. For now, if you want to run Fedora[2] on these systems you're probably best off changing the firmware to perform a legacy boot.

Bowel movement is one of the most important clues about an individual's health, as it gives a real idea of the gastrointestinal condition as well as overall health. One shall have to get familiar with the regular appearance of stool to spot the issues beforehand; however, the day to day alterations in the appearance does not mean that there is a problem with your health as one may notice short-term abnormalities based on what he or she is eating every day.
But in case an unexplained change lasts for over a week or so, it is a sign of some strange happening in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Hard pieces of faeces that are hard to pass: If the bowel movement is straining to pass, then the individual is constipated. Some people think that they are not suffering from constipation, but their stool is always hard and comes out in pieces rather than soft stool that passes out effortlessly. The most common reason behind such stool is a lack of fibre in the diet. According to general recommendations, an adult male must take at least 38 grams of fibre while an adult female must take about 25 grams of fibre. It is recommended to maintain a food journal to track the daily nutrients intake, and in case there is a lack of fibre in the diet, it can be stacked up with whole grains, fruits, beans and nuts.
- Black or bright red coloured poop: If the stool has a deep red appearance, it would indicate that a part of the bowel is bleeding. In most circumstances, the blood in the stool is caused by the benign haemorrhoids, but it could also be due to some ulcers in the colon or stomach or even cancer. That is why it is extremely crucial to bring it to the doctor's notice. There are different types of over-the-counter medications which turn the stool into black colour. This sort of discolouration is entirely temporary and may stay along for a few days even after stopping the medicine.
- A loose stool which is not diarrhoea: Loose stool but not diarrhoea may mean that the individual is suffering from celiac disease. Although the illness is quite uncommon, most people who suffer from it are not aware of the condition. The appearance of the stool is the largest and most reliable signs of having celiac disease. Individuals affected with celiac disease are not able to tolerate gluten, and it destroys the villi in the lining of the small intestine. As a result, the nutrients are unabsorbed, and the stool becomes loose. Switching to a gluten-free diet for about 2 to 3 weeks can aid in alleviating the disease.
If the appearance of the stool remains abnormal for weeks together, it is important to talk to a doctor to find out if there is something serious underlying. Bowel movement is the truest sign of the intestinal health, and thus, should not be ignored.

Arthritis is a disquietingly painful condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints. Arthritis usually occurs due to the wear and tear of cartilages and ligaments with the onset of age, but recent studies have concluded that many foods present in our daily diet may actually trigger or aggravate symptoms of the condition. Yet also there are some superfoods that help combat and prevent arthritis. Avoiding the former and including the latter in your meals can reap surprising benefits.
Some of these ailing superfoods for arthritis are:
- Leafy greens: Green, leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cabbage and lettuce have a high content of antioxidants, calcium and magnesium which help in neutralizing the negative charges in the body. In case of arthritis, it prevents the further progression of the disease. 5 servings of steamed vegetables per day can work wonders for your joint pain.
- Fishes: Fish, especially oily fish goes a long way in reducing joint pain and stiffness. They are highly rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which contain anti - inflammatory properties. 2 to 4 portions of oily fish per week can have an impact on you for many years to come.
- Olive oil: Olive oil contains mono - saturated fats and antioxidants, which have anti - inflammatory properties. Increase in the intake of olive oil can reduce risks of rheumatoid arthritis and prevent associated conditions. It can be used as both raw oil in preparing salads and also as cooking oil.
- Apples: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. As true as it may be, among many other nutrients, apples are a rich source of antioxidants and magnesium which are beneficial for the bones. A daily intake of 100g of apples eaten as a sole snack, or mixed with salads would in the long run prevent the risks of arthritis.
- Onions: Onions apart from fostering good digestion is also loaded with quercetin which is a bioflavonoid antioxidant that suppresses inflammation. It effectively removes the free radicals within arthritis joints and also reduces the release of protein- destroying enzymes. It can be consumed raw, can be served as a sauce and can also be used for cooking.Arthritis is a disquietingly painful condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints.

Swollen ankles are very common among older people. Sometimes even young people suffer from this disease. There can be many possible reasons for swollen ankles. Some of the main and most relevant causes for swollen ankles are as follows:
- Trauma
- Injury on ankle
- Sprained ankle
- Venous insufficiency
- Lymph edema
- Arthritis
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Infection
- Tumor
- Some medications, including calcium channel blockers, steroids or even antidepressants
Homeopathic treatment for swollen ankles
The main treatment for swollen ankles actually requires a great deal of investigation in the field of homeopathic genre. Each and every case is investigated thoroughly and also analysed to a huge depth before prescribing any kind of homeopathic medication. The swollen ankles which are caused due to injury, sprain and arthritis can be independently handled by a homeopathic treatment. But in case of any other serious organ injury, homeopathic medicines are mainly used for treatment along with other kinds of advanced medications. Homeopathic medication should be considered only after consulting a good physician. Self-medication must be strictly avoided.
Some of the homeopathic medicines for treating swollen ankles include the following:
- Apis Mellifica and Apocynum: Apis Mellifica and Apocynum are considered to be the best medicines for dropsical swollen ankles, also referred to as edema. Here the swelling is caused due to excess water retention or even due to water accumulation in the tissues.
- Ledum Pal: If you are experiencing swollen ankles due to arthritis, Ledum Pal is your go-to homeopathic medicine. In such cases, the affected person usually experiences painful and hot swollen ankles.
- Arnica: Another medicine of all times, especially for swollen ankles, is Arnica. It is the most effective medicine for swollen ankles caused due to an injury. Arnica works in a wondrous way to reduce the pain and the swelling of the ankles from injury which are bruised and feel sore to touch.
- Ruta: Ruta is primarily prescribed for swollen ankles resulting from sprain. A sprain is defined as the overstretching of the ligaments, mainly in the area of joints.
- Hamamelis: This homeopathic medicine, which is highly effective in treating swollen ankles, primarily caused due to varicose veins or venous insufficiency, is Hamamelis. It is the best rated medicine among its category.
If you are suffering from a swollen ankle, neither be indifferent it to, nor delay its treatment for long. It is recommended that you consult an experienced homeopathic practitioner to get the best medicine for your condition.

Exercises for Sciatic pain from Piriformis Syndrome
Sciatica is a symptom. It consists of leg pain, which might feel like a bad leg cramp, or it can be excruciating, shooting pain that makes standing or sitting nearly impossible.
The pain might be worse when you sit, sneeze, or cough. Sciatica can occur suddenly or it can develop gradually.
- Pain in the rear or leg that is worse when sitting
- Burning or tingling down the leg
- Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
- A constant pain on one side of the rear
- A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up
Sciatica usually affects only one side of the lower body. Often, the pain extends from the lower back all the way through the back of the thigh and down through the leg. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain may also extend to the foot or toes.
For some people, the pain from sciatica can be severe and debilitating might include the inability to bend your knee or move your foot and toes.. For others, the sciatica pain might be infrequent and irritating, but has the potential to get worse.
Causes of Sciatic Pain:
- Slipped Disc: In majority of cases sciatica is caused by a herniated or "slipped" disc. This is when one of the discs that sit between the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) is damaged and presses on the nerves.
- Spondylolisthesis (a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over another one)
- Other causes include spinal stenosis (narrowing of the nerve passages in the spine), a spinal injury or infection, or a growth within the spine (such as a tumor).
- Other things that may make your back pain worse include being overweight, not exercising regularly, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a mattress that is too soft.
- Piriformis Syndrome: It is referred as neuritis of branches of the sciatic nerve caused by pressure of an injured or irritated piriformis muscle. Symptoms associated with piriformis syndrome typically consist of buttock pain that radiates into the hip, posterior aspect of the thigh, and the proximal portion of the lower leg.
- Piriformis syndrome typically does not result in neurological deficits such as decreased deep tendon reflexes and myotomal weakness.
Sciatica is diagnosed with a medical history and physical exam. Sometimes X-rays and other tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are done to help find the cause of the sciatica.
- X-ray- to look for fractures in the spine
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan - to create images of the structures of the back
- Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography - to examine how well electrical impulses travel through the sciatic nerve
- Myelogram using dye injected between the vertebrae - to determine if a vertebra or disc is causing the pain
Primary treatment consists of self-care and non-surgical strategies. The aim is to correct the underlying problem, restore function and prevent re-occurrence.
- Self-Care: Sciatica may resolve with rest, ice or heat, massage, pain relievers and gentle stretches. Muscle inflammation and pain can be reduced by application of an icepack for 20 minutes several times a day during the initial 2-3 days. Thereafter a hot pad may be applied to relax muscles. If the self-care exercises aren't working within the first couple of days you must consult your doctor.
- Medication: Over the counter Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can bring pain relief. Muscle relaxants may be prescribed for spasms.
- Physiotherapy: A normal schedule is recommended physical therapy can help you return to full activity as soon as possible and prevent re-injury. Physiotherapists will show you proper lifting techniques / postures, walking techniques, exercises to stretch and strengthen your back muscles.
- Massage, ultrasound, diathermy, heat and traction may also be recommended for some time.
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes scaling and inflammation (pain, swelling, heat, and redness). Skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface. This process is called cell turnover, and it takes about a month. With psoriasis, it can happen in just a few days because the cells rise too fast and pile up on the surface.
Most psoriasis causes patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. These patches can itch or feel sore. They are often found on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of the feet. But they can show up other places such as fingernails, toenails, genitals, and inside the mouth.

Who Gets Psoriasis?
Anyone can get psoriasis, but it occurs more often in adults. In many cases, there is a family history of psoriasis. Certain genes have been linked to the disease. Men and women get psoriasis at about the same rate.
What Causes Psoriasis?
Psoriasis begins in the immune system, mainly with a type of white blood cell called a T cell. T cells help protect the body against infection and disease. With psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake. They become so active that they set off other immune responses. This leads to swelling and fast turnover of skin cells. People with psoriasis may notice that sometimes the skin gets better and sometimes it gets worse. Things that can cause the skin to get worse include:
- Infections
- Stress
- Changes in weather that dry the skin
- Certain medicines.
How Is Psoriasis Diagnosed?
Psoriasis can be hard to diagnose because it can look like other skin diseases. The doctor might need to look at a small skin sample under a microscope.For appointments call 9004839333.Clinics at Malad,Juhu and Bandra in Mumbai.
How Is Psoriasis Treated?
Treatment depends on:
- How serious the disease is
- The size of the psoriasis patches
- The type of psoriasis
- How the patient reacts to certain treatments

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
The mind is very receptive to suggestions. If you repeat to yourself that you feel stressed out and uncreative, then you are going to be stressed out and uncreative. If you tell yourself that you are calm, creative and full of energy, then you will feel and perform better in your daily life.
An affirmation is a carefully crafted statement that you repeat over and over to yourself as a form of auto-suggestion. Affirmations can be a powerful way to reprogram the subconscious and become self-fulfilling. The key to crafting an effective affirmation is to make it appeal to your imagination. Imagination usually trumps intellect and common sense. For example, you probably don't have any problem walking in a straight line without falling down, but if you place a plank of wood over a pit of hungry alligators, you might think twice about walking across. Your imagination takes over and prevents you from performing the simple task.
To make an effective affirmation, choose words that are simple, positive and to the point. Avoid statements of fact that your intellect might reject. For example, a bad affirmation might be, "I am the most creative person in my company." A better affirmation would be, "I am confident in my ability to think creatively."
Stress has many physiological affects on the human body. As we have already learned, certain types of stress can be good, but too much stress can lead to all sorts of problems.
The first thing that stress does is to cause the adrenal glands to start secreting adrenaline and epinephrine. These hormones are produced to help use get ready to fight or run away from a threat. Fortunately, we don't face mortal danger on daily basis anymore; but unfortunately, this means that these hormones just make use feel a lot of anxiety.
The "flight or fight" reaction also causes our body to have an increased metabolism. Your heart rate increases, your breathing speeds up, you start sweating, and your blood sugar levels increase. If you are temporarily escaping from a lion this is a good thing, but if you are living your life in a constant state of stress, this can lead to some serious problems, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Additionally, the body turns off certain unessential functions. After all, if you are running away from a lion there is really no point in wasting energy with things like digestion, reproduction and growth. This is exactly why highly stressed people get ulcers, have trouble getting pregnant and under extreme conditions have stunted growth.
Finding and eliminating stressful parts of our lives is important, but for short term relief, relaxation exercises can be a big help.
Stress can cause all sorts of problems for us in our daily lives. Not the least of which is a decreased ability to think productively and creatively. Autogenic relaxation works by influencing the autonomic nervous system through self-suggestion. The goal is to learn how to relax your limbs, heart and breathing.
Start by sitting in a comfortable position in a quiet place. Concentrate on your legs and arms. Feel them getting heavy. Repeat to yourself over and over, "My arms are getting heavy. My legs are getting heavy."
Now feel your arms and legs getting warmer. Repeat to yourself, "My arms are getting warm. My legs are getting warm." Try to really feel them getting warmer.
Now, concentrate on your pulse. Feel it beating calmly. Repeat to yourself over and over, "My heart rate is calm and regular."
Now, focus on your breathing. Take deep and regular breaths. Repeat, "My breathing is calm and regular."
Focus on your abdomen and feel it getting warmer. Repeat, "My abdomen is feeling warmer."
Lastly, pay attention to your forehead. Feel it getting cooler. Repeat to yourself, "My forehead is pleasantly cool."
Repeat as many times as you desire. A feeling of peacefulness and relaxation should come over you as you progress through this exercise.
Stress can cause all sorts of problems for us in our daily lives. Not the least of which is a decreased ability to think productively and creatively. Progressive muscle relaxation is a widely used method of relaxation. It can be used to reduce stress whenever you have a few moments of free time.
This method works in two steps. The first step is to deliberately tense a certain muscle group for about 8 seconds. Notice how it feels for the muscle to be tense. Now, fully relax the muscle and pay attention to the difference in feeling. Keep this muscle relaxed for about 15 seconds before moving on to the next muscle group. With the knowledge of what the two states feel like, you can learn to relax muscles at the first signs of tension. Once you can achieve physical relaxation, mental calmness will follow.
Choose a quite place to practice and wear comfortable clothing. Sit comfortably or lie down. Keep in mind that if you lie down, you may fall asleep. You should tense and relax one muscle group at a time. The most popular sequence is listed below. If you are left-handed you may want to reverse the sides.
1. Right foot
2. Right lower leg and foot
3. Entire right leg
4. Left foot
5. Left lower leg and foot
6. Entire left leg
7. Right hand
8. Right forearm and hand
9. Entire right arm
10. Left hand
11. Left forearm and hand
12. Entire left arm
13. Abdomen
14. Chest
15. Neck and shoulders
16. Face
Having a good posture is very important because it allows you to breathe properly. With hunched shoulders, the volume of your chest cavity is reduced which limits your ability take deep breaths. Even a small slouch can cause you to have shallow breathing and increased stress.
Additionally, walking around with hunched shoulders gives off a negative appearance and can cause you to feel worse. If you walk proudly with your shoulders back and you head straight you will feel better and the people you interact with will feel better. If you want to experiment with this, take a 10-minute walk down the street with your head bent to the ground and your shoulders slumped. How do you feel? Now take the same walk with your head straight and making eye contact with the people you meet. You'll feel a lot better at the end of the second walk.

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a rare condition that occurs only in identical twins while they are in the womb.
TTTS; Fetal transfusion syndrome
TTTS occurs when the blood supply of one twin moves to the other the shared placenta. The twin that loses the blood is called the donor twin. The twin that receives the blood is called the recipient twin.
Both infants may have problems depending on how much blood is passed from one to the other. The donor twin may have too little blood, and the other may have too much blood.
Most of the time, the donor twin is smaller than the other twin at birth. The infant often has anemia, is dehydrated, and looks pale.
The recipient twin is born larger, with redness too the skin, too much blood, and higher blood pressure. The twin that gets too much blood may develop cardiac failure because of the high blood volume. The infant may also need medicine to strengthen heart function.
The unequal size of identical twins is referred to as discordant twins.
This condition is usually diagnosed by ultrasound during pregnancy.
After birth, the infants will receive the following tests:
Treatment may require repeated amniocentesis during pregnancy. Fetal laser surgery may be done to stop the flow of blood from one twin to the other.
After birth, treatment depends on the infant's symptoms. The donor twin may need a blood transfusion to treat anemia.
The recipient twin may need to have the volume of body fluid reduced. This may involve an exchange transfusion.
The recipient twin may also need to take medicine to prevent heart failure.
If the twin-to-twin transfusion is mild, both babies often recover fully. Severe cases may result in the death of a twin.

Meet the new model in the Audi A4 range. It's a practical thing: nice station wagon, fold-down rear seats, great for the family. With projected sales of 75 next year, it'll be the most popular single variant in the lineup.
It's the new RS 4 Avant, by the way: monster engine, trick quattro four-wheel-drive system and a price tag of $154,000, launched with a touch of panache from the RNZAF at Ardmore airfield last week.
If the performance flagship RS 4's considerable contribution to A4 sales comes as a surprise, it shouldn't. It's partly to do with the fact that the mainstream A4 is a modest seller in New Zealand and the RS 4 is much in demand, but it's also because Kiwis absolutely love their RS models.
It was the same with the previous generation RS 6 Avant back in 2009: in its first full year on sale it was the biggest-selling A6 model. What recession, again?
While most of Germany's high-performance brands concentrate on engine downsizing and extra efficiency through turbocharging, the new RS 4 sticks with the tried-and-true: a rumbling 4.2-litre V8 engine engineered for high-rev running.
It spins to 8250rpm and makes 331kW/430Nm. This car can rocket to the open-road speed limit in 4.7 seconds, yet returns 10.7 litres per 100km. Not at the same time, presumably.
If that sounds old-school, here's a sign of the times: the RS 4 now comes with a seven-speed robotised dual-clutch transmission, known as S tronic. While the previous RS 4 was offered only with a conventional manual, this comes exclusively with two-pedal transmission.
Audi argues that S tronic offers faster shift times, better acceleration and superior fuel economy to a manual. Lovers of three-pedal gearboxes will argue that an "automatic" (which S tronic is, in practice) can never offer the level of driver involvement a manual brings.
The S tronic does make sense because Audi's RS models have become legendary for making high-performance very accessible, thanks to all-wheel drive and a variety of high-tech driver aids.
The RS 4 sticks to the formula and sticks to the road. It employs quattro with a self-locking crown gear centre differential and torque vectoring, which monitors steering angle and throttle position to brake individual wheels and ensure optimum power distribution.
The RS 4 is also fitted with Audi's sport differential as standard. In addition to the torque vectoring system, this can apply extra power to the outside rear wheel during hard driving, helping to push the car around corners. Even so, there is enough speed, surreal exhaust noise and lateral g-force on offer to demand your full attention.
But the beauty of this car is also partly its downfall for the enthusiast: it's just so easy to drive scarily fast.
Does the RS4 have finesse? Yes, at low speeds, where it enjoys a relaxed gait and carries the aura of a car with plenty in reserve. In fast driving, it's more a case of terrifying pace and brutal handling ability.
Driver entertainment for these RS machines does not mean delicate steering and chassis balance: it's high-speed safety, unrivalled A-to-B ability and outrageous soundtrack.
Plus status, luxury and practicality of course. You cannot mistake the RS 4 for an ordinary A4 Avant, thanks to a bespoke body kit, 20mm-lower ride height and the signature RS squared-off wheel arches, which are inspired by the original Quattro. Inside, the RS 4 is low-key but beautifully finished. The figure-hugging "sports bucket New A4 truly AUD-acious seats" of the previous model have been relegated to the options list, apparently because too many Kiwi owners couldn't fit into them. Instead, there are simpler "sports seats", which as still supportive but much less aggressive.
The new RS 4 Avant could be called good value, because it's $15,000 cheaper than the previous model. It's generously equipped, although many of the more desirable items remain on the options list: for example, to add adaptive RS suspension, 20-inch alloys, adaptive cruise control and side/lane assist adds $15,000 to the sticker price.
Many owners will be happy to pay that. This is, after all, the performance flagship of the A4 range and a special car, even if it will be one of the most common models too.

Gov. Phil Bryant laid out a bold education reform package for the Legislature calling this the "Education Session."
Both the Senate and House quickly took up the mantle by passing his Education Works Agenda establishing literacy standards for kindergarten through third-grade students, raising the requirements to enter a teaching program and improving graduation rates.
Gov. Bryant, Speaker Philip Gunn and I have worked closely together to create the best foundation for changing the quality of education, and legislators are in the final stages of passing education reform. The Senate and House are close to an agreement allowing school choice for parents and students through public charter schools with one important difference: Deciding where the schools should be allowed to operate.
The Senate and House agree school boards in A- and B-rated school districts can veto a public charter school application and deny giving parents educational choice. Both chambers agree public charter schools need only approval from the state authorizing board to operate in D- and F-rated districts. The primary difference is whether school boards in C-rated districts can block public charter schools in their community, in spite of parents' demand for school choice. I have been asked why I believe strongly in allowing public charter schools in C-rated districts. The answer is simple: I believe Mississippi can do better than C.
As leaders we should not send the message to students and school administrators that earning a C is acceptable. Our state must strive for above average academic achievement and raise expectations.
It is a misnomer to consider C districts as successful, a label earned under the previous school rating system. Consider this:
There are more students in failing schools in C districts than in F districts. There are 37,223 students in poor-performing schools in C districts compared with 27,203 students in failing schools in F districts.
There are no C-rated districts that have an ACT composite score that indicates college readiness. The average student in a C-rated district in Mississippi will score lower than 65 percent of U.S. students in reading skills, according to the Global Report Card. The results are worse in math where the average student in a C-rated district will score 71 percent lower than U.S. students.
These statistics are not indicators of achievement. It is proof we still have work to do to make Mississippi's workforce competitive. The Legislature has the chance to pass landmark education reform, the most significant since the Education Reform Act of 1982. We can pull Mississippi off the bottom of academic performance nationwide. That means Mississippi's workforce grows stronger. That means better jobs that pay higher salaries for future generations that will stay in Mississippi to raise their families.
Again, the governor and Legislature are working together on innovative ideas to strengthen the quality of education. We know the public is tired of excuses for not doing so. The Legislature needs to set goals that are aspirational but achievable. It's time for real change.

I recently purchased a dedicated turkey shotgun from my local BPS. Stoeger P350 12GA all camo with Benelli XFull choke. The thing is it came with an unsighted barrel and a cantilever weaver rail. I originally put a Pursuit 1x25 red/green dot sight on it but that ended in an epic fail.
I need to replace the returned sight but could use some input. I am on a budget of about 50-75 dollars and I know that won't buy the high end sights. I have looked all through amazon, midway, and opticsplanet but can't decide. I think I want a holographic style sight since it seems easier to look around for an unsighted view. I know I didn't care for the 1x25 but perhaps a 1x30 compact red dot would work.
The more I look around the more confused I become plus I am a tactile buyer and like to feel a thing in my hands before I purchase which I can't do online.
So basically.....HELP!

Today has been a wonderful one, sort of :) Read on! No, it wasn't me getting to class or anything. My attendance this semester has been awful, I think I am just burned out from college (not like I am close to completing a Bachelor's Degree or anything) and the long drive to the school, which is 55 miles one way. I think physics is interesting, but that hasn't been enough to get me to come to class to hear the professor append this statement to every single thing he says: "sound sensible, it should be". I wish that professor would get off his hight horse and realize that maybe he sounds like a drone. His drawing up diagrams is even worse. I think it's safe to say that most of the students in this course have quit taking notes in class, because he waits until the students have taken a ton of notes, THEN says "you don't really need to know this".
Wait a second, didn't I just say my day has been a wonderful one? Haha! No, really, today I set up a dual-boot of Windows 98 and Linux Redhat 8 on my wife's machine. That's the time I *should* have been in class. :) Everything went pretty well, and I left some notes for her in an opened gedit file, so she can resume doing the few things she always does with the computer (create word docs, surf the net, work on her recipes log). In the notes I didn't mention that she could reboot the machine and log into Windows 98. I wonder if this approach, though a little sneaky, might be better for helping newbies such as myself become acquainted with Linux?
When I got to the college to work my shift as a Computer Lab Assistant, I decided to try and ssh into my box at home. It worked! From there, I ssh'd over to the machine that my wife uses, to edit that note I had left open for her. Hmm, that just reminded. Since, there was already an instance of the note open, maybe she won't see the changes I made to it. If she does, than that is some cool stuff :) My next task will be to see if I can download a large file like an ISO or maybe somethin smaller like the j2sdk, and see if I can burn that file remotely. Already, I have learned that you can't run apps with gui's (or can you?) such as GTK. If not, that is fine with me. What I have going now is very pleasing to me, since that means I can do away with floppy disks and even zip disks, and just copy my college work to the machine at home. Or, rather I can access the home machine and copy the stuff to the machine in the computer lab at the college.
I spent dang near four hours last night getting my path set right so that bash would see the java executable that I wanted it to see, not the first thing it could find (/usr/bin/java). Somewhere along the way, from following the advice of multiple persons, I had messed up the path and created a faulty sym link. And, seeking help online can be very tedious and sometimes perilous. So, I can use the j2sdk1.4.1_01 now. I've always thought that Java was a beautiful language, just the downfalls of it (speed of the jvm, not very low level) turned me off. But, now, having grown a little wiser in my computing years, I'm ready to tackle Java for fun.
I know that a lot of people come to advogato to learn new things in computing, and I didn't offer much of that. Hopefully, though, someone can take what I wrote in light of "pitfalls a linux newbie should watch out for" and maybe write up a document or tutorial on this.

If you want to specify a connection timeout in case there is network problem, you can edit the client side (e.g. PHP side) sqlnet.ora file and set SQLNET.OUTBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT. This sets the upper time limit for establishing a connection right through to the DB, including the time for attempts to connect to other services. It is available from Oracle 10.2.0.3 onwards.
In Oracle 11.1, a slightly lighter-weight solution TCP.CONNECT_TIMEOUT was introduced. It also is a sqlnet.ora parameter. It bounds just the TCP connection establishment time, which is mostly where connection problem are seen.
The client sqlnet.ora file should be put in the same directory as the tnsnames.ora file.

"Since joining this prestigious profession, I have been afforded the honor and privilege of interacting with patients and families at some of their most tragic, life-changing times. The most rewarding part of my patient care career is when I can make a difference in the life of a patient or their family. When I can take a child who is crying, not understanding what is happening, and develop a trusting relationship to alleviate their fear and change a negative interaction into a positive experience for the patient and family - I am rewarded.
As a leader in a Magnet organization, my most rewarding times come when I affect positive change. For example, when I see a fellow nurse struggling with workload and feeling burnt out, I take the time to listen. I am rewarded when I can work with them to reconnect to the true passion and reason they chose to join the nursing profession. I am also rewarded when I mentor a nursing assistant to achieve their goal of becoming a registered nurse and help them develop and coach them through a career change.
The most rewarding part of my job is that I have been given the opportunity to facilitate positive changes in the lives of patients, families, staff and in my profession."

I'm starting to agree, although both picks were to Bess and it looks like he might of messed up on his routes. I don't know..
Love how we're throwing in the towel on the kid already. We have such a great fan base. "I'm not gonna show up to the games and show support...same goes for any player that isn't instantly a superstar".
He did choke, yes. But really, his entire game was crap. I know rookies have ups and downs, but He has looked horrible against three straight garbage defenses. I'm not ready to give up on the guy - absolutely not. But I expected to see more given the teams we're playing.
I did not read this whole thread but when I see things like choke, loser, etc it really goes to show what a clueless fan base we have. We have no #1 receiver OL hasent blocked worth a damn in weeks the secondary has been a joke the entire year the kicker has been average at best. Tannihill was billed at the draft as a project and now 10 games into his career you want him to take team on his back with zero talent around him. Get your heads out of your asses and get back to reality. We are a rebuilding team with a rookie coach staff and QB.
You can't win games turning the ball over.
Tannehill is still making that mistake.
How can you rebuild a team when you have to limit your QB, for fears he may turn the ball over.
We were rebuilding with Chad Henne, remember, just give him another year. One day we'll all wake up and Henne will become a great player.
I don't think you can coach competitiveness, you either have it or you don't.

TMZ July 2, 2013: The honchos at CBS tell TMZ ... they were certainly OFFENDED by several racist and homophobic comments made by the current "Big Brother" houseguests ... but hey, that's live programming for ya.
The houseguests have been under fire from what appears to be the ENTIRE INTERNET over the following comments:

The Financial Times has an update on South Korea's presidential election:
Thirty-three years after her father's murder forced her out of South Korea's presidential mansion, Park Geun-hye on Wednesday won the right to return. Ms Park, of the ruling center-right New Frontier party, will become her country's first female leader in February after a convincing election victory against her liberal rival, Moon Jae-in.
Mr Moon conceded defeat after partial results showed Ms Park was set to win by a clear margin. With 98.2 per cent of ballots counted, she had won 51.6 per cent of the vote, while Mr Moon, of the center-left Democratic United party, had 48 per cent. Turnout was 76 per cent, the highest for 15 years, reflecting a closely fought campaign.
For Nomura's strategists and economists, the winner matters little for Korea's economic or monetary policy. In a report released before the election was called for Park, they wrote:

Installing and Using Xming
Xming is a lightweight X Window System implementation for Microsoft Windows.Ā It includes an X server, multiple X Window applications, and a launcher for both the X server and for several secure shell programs.Ā Xming is based on Cygwin/X, but is compiled to run on Windows with no additional compatibility layer.Ā
In May 2007, Xming became proprietary software.Ā This article deals with Xming 22.214.171.124, the last public domain version of Xming.Ā This version of Xming is known to work under Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.Ā The following steps were tested on a 64-bit Windows 7 installation.
Downloading And Installing Xming
The following steps cover downloading and installing Xming 188.8.131.52.
1. Download Xming 126.96.36.199 from the official SourceForge page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/).
2. Run Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe, and click "Next".
3. Choose a directory to install Xming into.Ā The default of "C:\Program Files\Xming" (or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming" for 64-bit) is a good default.
4. At the screen titled "Select Components", select "Full Installation" from the drop-down menu (selected by default).Ā This will install the XLaunch utility and PuTTY, the SSH client you will use to connect remotely to ARSC systems.
5. The installer will prompt you for a Start Menu folder to create shortcuts in.Ā Click "Next".
6. At the screen titled "Select Additional Tasks", check "Create a desktop icon for XLaunch" and "Associate XLaunch.exe with the .xlaunch file extension".
7. At the screen titled "Ready to Install", review your installation settings and click "Install".Ā The installer will require only a few seconds to install Xming on your computer.
8. Click "Finish".Ā As it closes, the installer will by default launch the Xming server, which will run in the background.
Running Remote X Window Applications Using Xming
The following steps describe how to connect using Xming 18.104.22.168 to ARSC systems via SSH with X11 forwarding.
1. Open XLaunch, using the icon placed on your desktop by the Xming installer.Ā
2. Select "Multiple Windows" (selected by default), and click "Next".
3. Select "Start a program", and click "Next".
4. Under the "Run Remote" section, select "Using PuTTY".Ā This is the SSH client you installed during setup.Ā In "Connect to computer", enter the name of the ARSC system you are trying to connect to, followed by ".arsc.edu".Ā In "Login as user", enter your ARSC username.Ā Click "Next" when you have filled out these fields.Ā An ARSC user with username jsmith trying to connect to an ARSC system named kinetic would enter the following:
(Leave the password field blank for now. PuTTY will ask for this later in a separate dialog window.)
5. At the "Additional parameters" screen, click "Next".Ā By default, your local and remote clipboards will synchronize, allowing you to copy and paste text from a remote X Window application to a file on your local computer.
6. The final XLoader screen will allow you to save your connection settings, if you choose to.Ā If you save your connection settings, you will be able to skip to Step 8 and avoid opening XLaunch directly on future connections by instead opening the created .xlaunch file.Ā Click "Finish".
7. You may receive a popup alert similar to this one.Ā This is a warning displayed the first time your SSH client connects to any computer it has never connected to before, designed to help recognize "man-in-the-middle" attacks.Ā If you have never connected to this remote computer using this PuTTY installation, click "Yes".Ā PuTTY will now remember the remote computer's fingerprint and suppress this message on recognition.
8. Enter the password you use to connect to ARSC systems.Ā You will be prompted for this password at each login, including sessions started by opening .xlaunch files.
9. You should now see an open xterm window, logged into the system you specified.Ā Xming's server was started on demand by XLaunch and should appear with the system icons on the right-hand side of your taskbar.Ā Note that ARSC's warning banner and MOTD do not display when you log in via this method.

Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong
Hi - first time poster here and new to the hobby. Here's my situation:
Have a 10 gallon tank - this one to be exact: http://www.tetra-fish.com/sites/tetr...l.aspx?id=4261
Set it up 4 months ago and let it cycle for a few weeks - then put in 4 white cloud minnows to start off. I did pretty frequent water tests and all the levels were 0.
After about 2 or 3 weeks I put in a betta. Levels were still 0 during weekly testing and everyone was getting along nicely. About a month later, to finish stocking, I put in 2 platys, and 2 danios for a total of 9 fish.
For almost 2 months, everything seemed to be going great. The fish were getting along great and all the chemical levels came out to 0 in weekly tests.
Then, about 2 weeks ago, I was doing a 20% water change and accidentally sucked the betta up into the gravel vacuum. I felt horrible and quickly got him out of there. I thought he was going to die, but the next day he appeared much better, and the day after that it was as if nothing had happened to him. I should also mention I changed the carbon filter during that water change. 2-3 weeks went by and I thought everything was good.
Then I noticed that one of the platys was acting strange. I tested the water and the ammonia had spiked to 2ppm. A day or two later one of the platys died. A day or two after that the betta went. And yesterday and today 2 of the minnows died.
I have been doing 50% water changes every day since detecting the ammonia and also changed feeding to once every 3 days. Even still, the ammonia seems stuck at 1ppm now.
Now I'm trying to analyze what went wrong. What could cause the ammonia to spike so suddenly and what should I do now. I should mention that the other levels, nitrate, nitrite, etc are all still 0. pH is 7.6 and water temp is 78 deg.
My filter system has a carbon bag filter and also some type of bio foam which you don't change and is supposed to hold the good bacteria. I didn't realize and used plain tap water to rinse the new carbon bag. Could that have killed the bacteria in the bio foam piece or is it not enough to be meaningful? Could the incident with the betta have somehow caused this situation?
I feel so bad that all the fish are dying, and helpless because I don't know what to do next.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Is your tap water chlorinated?
If so... rinsing it in the chlorine certainly would have set your cycle back.
I don't believe the incident with the betta was the causal factor. But since you mention all your readings were at 0 at the first cycled stage... I suspect there may have been some issue with your initial cycling and now its recycling. How exactly did you cycle? If it was just running the filter without adding any ammonia source... that is not the biological cycle that we talk about here, although some poorly informed fish store employees like to call it so.
At this point you are cycling with fish. You need to keep up with your water changes, and in fact increase them to keep the rest of them alive. When your ammonia is at 1.0ppm and you do a wc, it should immediately drop to 0.5 since you removed half the ammonias concentration. However, your fish are still continuing to produce waste (ammonia is a product of waste) and that number rises from that point back up for the next day. So keep up on your water changes.
Eventually enough ammonia converting bacteria will re-grow and you will see Nitrites. Keep up your waterchanges to keep both ammonia and nitrites under 1.0ppm until you get enough bacteria to handle the fish waste load. :)
Most likely imo:
Your tank was overstocked. Your filter was barely coping. When the carbon stops absorbing chemical s it is a good place for bacteria to set up. You wiped those out and got a tank crash. Water changes are a good way to deal with the symptoms but you need to add filtration or reduce stock.

Thanks for the replies. When I do the water change I do see the ammonia level drop. But the next night its right back up again. Another fish died this morning. Now down to 3 fish. I don't understand what keeps making the ammonia go back up again?
How can I avoid this problem going forward when replacing the carbon filter? I thought that the whole point of the bio foam piece was to prevent this from happening. Is this not considered a good filtration system? The woman in the store I bought the set up recommended changing the carbon filter every 2-3 weeks, by the way.
I agree with both posters above and just want to add this for you to read. http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=36492
Which filter do you have? If possible it would be better to use ceramic media instead of the carbon since ceramic media holds much more bacteria than the sponge and doesn't need replacing.
The ammonia keeps going back up because the fish are producing waste and the bacteria needed to convert it to less toxic nitrates has not been established. This will continue until the tank is fully cycled.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
What keeps making the ammonia back up is the fish. The ammonia is from fish waste.
With a completely cycled tank, the bacteria colony is large enough to convert the ammonia into nitrite and then into nitrates as quickly as the fish can make it. Unfortunately your colony isn't developed enough to handle it yet. Thus you need to be the "bacteria temporary employee" and do water changes to help them out.
Carbon isn't necessarily needed in a filter set up. It should be used when you need to filter out medication, but you do not actually need to continuously use it. You've be better served by using that space towards bio media to house your bacteria colony.
I think I found the kit you mentioned... and it mentions a PF-10 Whisper Filter as part of the kit. Which is rates up to 10 gallons. What they don't mention is that it is not really designed for a well stocked 10 gallon, but more for a lightly stocked 10 gallon. If you have too many fish producing waste there may not be sufficient water flow for the bacteria colony to grow to where it can keep up.
So for the future.... continue with water changes. Replace the carbon with something more suitable for your bacteria to grow. When you rinse the sponge out, make sure you do it in dechlorinated water, such as old tank water. And do read that link mommy suggested so you better understand the biological cycle.

Got it. Will definitely research the other filter options as well. I understand the cycle, but figured that since all 9 fish were living happily for for 2 months or so that everything was in balance and set up correctly.
You've had good advice so far. You were pretty badly overstocked in my opinion. As fish grow and mature they will produce more waste.
Don't put danios in a tank that small - they are very active, powerful fish that need room to swim. You could keep one betta in a 10 gallon OR a 3/4 guppies/endlers OR 8 neon tetra at a push. I personally wouldn't keep anything more than that in it and feel comfortable - even then I would want to ensure my filter was rated for double the tank size.
Hope you manage to save the final fish (if any are left). Keep up with those water changes. If your ammonia is above 0.25 change the water again...and again, until it is at or just below that reading."Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

I really appreciate the help and advice from all you guys. It's good to know there's a community like this to turn to. It feels so helpless watching all the fish die and not even being sure of the cause or what to do about it.
The 3 remaining fish are hanging on so far. Ammonia level still high - did a 50% water change just now. I have one or two more questions maybe you guys can help me with.
How do most people physically go about performing the water change? The way I've been doing it is, I'm using a cleaned out gallon plastic milk container. I've been getting my tap to the right temperature, putting a few drops of water treatment in the container, and then filling it up, and dump it in. The thing I'm confused about is for the water treatment solution, the bottle says a whole cap full for 10 gallons. But I'm not clear how you're supposed to measure or mix it because obviously I don't have another 10 gallon container. So I've been sort of estimating it. Can I just put non treated water right in the thank and then pour in a half cap full of the treatment? OR does it have to be mixed first and then poured in? I doubt this has anything to do with my problem, but I wanted to mention it.
Also, if I wanted to upgrade my setup, how could I go about doing that? I do have that whisper 10 filter that Trillianne mentioned above. Can I replace that with a stronger, better filter, or can I use the same filter but with a different medium?
I'm sure I'll come up with more questions - but thanks again to everyone who took the time to help me out.

One addition to my last post - this filter seems to have very good reviews. Not sure if it would fit my tank, but if I were to purchase something like this would it be a better choice for my 10 gallon set up?

Health? So far, so good. But I may just have jinxed myself by typing that. Might be due to the warmer weather not allowing colds/viruses/etc. to grow easily.
Unions? Here it's pretty good, both from my own perspective and the community's, I think.

It always bothered me when I would hear of school teachers on strike. As one who competed in sports, I wondered how that would have affected me had I been attending a striking school. I'm not sure if those schools were able to have practice for their sports during the strike time, or if they were able to compete. It might have been easier for my sport, because I could have run on my own, but football teams need to practice together to be able to execute their plays and be prepared for their opponents. These are once in a lifetime opportunities for these kids as they look forward to having a successful senior year and a chance to go out on a positive note. Some may be trying to make it to the next level and get a college scholarship.
I remember seeing a thing in the local paper about the average starting salary of teachers at the various local schools around the time I was in college. I think it ranged from around $19,000 to $23,000 depending on the school district. Several years later when I started working, it took me three years of work before I reached that level. At that point, the average teacher salary was probably more. I had two years of grad school, so I had as much school as most beginning teachers. To become a teacher, you have to go into a program specifically designed to train teachers, so I would think that they must have a passion to do it, and would have time enough to realize what they were getting into.
I'm currently in a charter school right now (non-union) and can definitely see why people prefer union schools. My host teacher is in her fourth year and has a master's plus 15 credits towards her second and barely clears $30,000 a year. In her 4 years there she has seen a 2% pay increase. Needless to say, her second master's is in administration and she is on her way out ASAP.
What's funny is that the company that runs the school can't seem to figure out why there is such a high turnover rate.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
I worked 8 years before I made that much. If she has only seen a 2% increase, then she was almost making that to start with ($29,400 x 1.02 = $29,998). At the point I reached that level, I had saved up enough for a down payment on a house and moved out of my parents house. I was able to get by on that amount. My situation would have been even better if I didn't collect Star Wars
I guess it comes down to what it is you really want to do and what is acceptable compensation for the work you do. I'm just glad to have a job, and one in which I seem to have found a niche.
On my teaching end, I had a student lift the first paragraph of their last paper from Wiki; it was really REALLY obvious, a complete change in tone that was so blatant. I smelled something was up, headed to google, typed in the first two lines and BAM, a wikipedia entry came up. I told the student that i'm not an idiot and that I can figure this stuff out. They sort of stumbled on their words and reasoning; I told them I was only going to fail them on this paper and if I saw it again, I would not hesitate to end their academic career by getting them kicked out of school. Do kids today think we're all idiots?!?!?!!
Right now, i've assigned final research papers and portfolios that are due in Mid December. We only have a few more actual classes, then conferences, turkey day break, and then student presentations. Thus, my actual work days should be over in two weeks and I concentrate on making the syllabi for my four classes in the spring. And I totally planned it this way!
My dept. chair sent out this GREAT e-mail. I think she got it elsewhere, but it's great.
I loved this e-mail. I get irritated when I get that question, but it doesn't irk me nearly as much as "What are we doing today?" ("Hey, if you read the syllabus, you'd know!") or "how long do you plan on keeping us today?" ("as long as I feel like you need to be taught......maybe all night?")"Did I miss anything?"- Frequently asked by students after they miss class.
Here are some replies you can use:
- Nothing. When we realized you weren't here, we sat with our hands folded on our desks in silence, for the full two hours.
- Everything. I gave an exam worth 40 per cent of the grade for this term and assigned some reading due today on which I'm about to hand out a quiz worth 50 per cent.
- Nothing. None of the content of this course has value or meaning. Take as many days off as you like: any activities we undertake as a class I assure you will not matter, either to you or me and are without purpose.
- Everything. A few minutes after we began last time a shaft of light descended and an angel or other heavenly being appeared and revealed to us what each woman or man must do to attain divine wisdom in this life and the hereafter. This is the last time the class will meet before we disperse to bring this good news to all people on earth.
- Nothing. When you are not present how could something significant occur?
- Everything. Contained in this classroom is a microcosm of human existence assembled for you to query and examine and ponder. This is not the only place such an opportunity has been gathered but it was one place. And you weren't here.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
That is a great e-mail!
That "one-ups" all those "my grandmother died" excuses you must hear incessantly when assignments aren't turned in on time by your students!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I have developed a skill in recognizing the "excuse posture." After they straighten their shoulders, lower their voice, and sort of make eye contact, I let them tell me their story (facinating details... if only their writing was so precise and descriptive), then remind them of my rules and the time given and my reminders. 99.9% of the time, they're not all that effective in swaying me.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
But very rarely do students try to argue with me regarding their unexcused absences. I've been told i'm pretty intimidating due to my size, stature, and that I go wide eyed when I need to. Plus, I have a beard now, so kids don't give me too much guff. I've made one girl cry (after she left class, mind you).
I just don't get them sometimes. I gave one of my classes a night off as Elie Wiesel came to the area to speak and since I called off their class, I gave them an optional extra credit assignment: go listen to Wiesel speak, write up a 3-4 page blurb about what he said, what topics he touched on, etc. etc. NOT ONE DAMN STUDENT did it. I was.....flabbergasted. Elie gave a tremendous speech about morals, politics, humanity, and how to improve our world and they just blew it off. I was shocked.
But alas, a few more weeks left in the semester.

Say Yes and Receive Christ in Bîrla, Romania
Difference makers locate their sin and they tell the truth about it in Europe Romania Bîrla
God's working and he wants you to be a part of it in Europe Romania Bîrla
We've got to say big yes to receive Christ, but then those little yeses to walk with him, to talk with him, to hear his voice, to know his word, to follow his purposes and his principles, and to walk with his people down this incredible journey he has for us.
And I've got to ask you, are you spending that time with Jesus? I'm not talking about some legalistic thing, "I've got to have my daily quiet time 22.3 minutes a day, and I've got to get up at 4:30 a.m. everyday." I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about spending time with him in Romania, Bîrla.
When I miss 2, 3, 4 days of spending quality time with Jesus, I cannot believe the freefall that I take. I cannot believe the depravity that emerges in my life.
Say yes to Jesus. We're built for yes. Yes Lord yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Everyday, that's what he wants from you, and that's what he wants from me. He wants us to say yes.
That's what's so cool, when we lift our hands in worship. It's like a big Y, isn't it? Yes. Yes, Lord, have your way with me. Yes, Lord, where do you want me to go? Yes, Lord, what do you want me to do? Say yes to Jesus.Visit us in Romania, Bîrla and say yes to receive Christ.
