"Approved to God"
If you cannot express yourself well on each of your beliefs, work and study until you can. If you don't, other people may miss out on the blessings that come from knowing the truth. Strive to re-express a truth of God to yourself clearly and understandably, and God will use that same explanation when you share it with someone else.…
Approved Unto God
If you cannot express yourself on any subject, struggle until you can. If you do not, someone will be the poorer all the days of his life. Struggle to re-express some truth of God to yourself, and God will use that expression to someone else. Go through the winepress of God where the grapes are crushed. You must struggle to get expression experimentally, then there will come a time when that expression will become the very wine of strengthening to someone else; but if you say lazily - "I am not going to struggle to express this thing for myself, I will borrow what I say," the expression will not only be of no use to you, but of no use to anyone. Try to state to yourself what you feel implicitly to be God's truth, and you give God a chance to pass it on to someone else through you.
Am I Blessed Like This?
When we first read the statements of Jesus, they seem wonderfully simple and unstartling, and they sink unnoticed into our subconscious minds. For instance, the Beatitudes initially seem to be merely soothing and beautiful precepts for overly spiritual and seemingly useless people, but of very little practical use in the rigid, fast-paced workdays of the world in which we live.…
Am I Blessed Like This?
When we first read the statements of Jesus they seem wonderfully simple and unstartling, and they sink unobserved into our unconscious minds. For instance, the Beatitudes seem merely mild and beautiful precepts for all unworldly and useless people, but of very little practical use in the stern workaday world in which we live. We soon find, however, that the Beatitudes contain the dynamite of the Holy Ghost. They explode, as it were, when the circumstances of our lives cause them to do so. When the Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance one of these Beatitudes we say - 'What a startling statement that is!' and we have to decide whether we will accept the tremendous spiritual upheaval that will be produced in our circumstances if we obey His words. That is the way the Spirit of God works. We do not need to be born again to apply the Sermon on the Mount literally. The literal interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount is child's play; the interpretation by the Spirit of God as He applies Our Lord's statements to our circumstances is the stern work of a saint.

Vivendi deal expected to boost Moroccan economy
The Moroccan government's resolve to liberalize the country's economy has recently received a tremendous boost by the successful partial privatization of the national telecommunications operator. In late December, multimedia giant Vivendi Universal paid $2.2 billion for a 35-percent stake in Maroc Telecom, representing the largest single foreign investment in the North African state's history.
With that one single deal in the bag, Morocco's income from foreign direct investments is expected to jump more than five-fold in 2001 from an average of $400 million per annum over the past decade. In fact, prior to the Maroc Telecom deal, FDI inflows had been on the decline—contracting by 44 percent in the first half of 2000, compared to the corresponding period of 1999.
The importance of the Maroc Telecom deal extends way beyond the country's telecommunications sector. Bankers believe that, with the influx of foreign capital into the country, the agreement will increase buoyancy in the local money market and provide the impetus for a reduction in short-term interest rates. The kingdom's foreign debt is now expected to drop below $15 billion this year, compared to $15.3 billion at the end of 2000.
Furthermore, Maroc Telecom receipts will also help the 2001 state budget to reach its target and maintain the deficit at roughly three percent of GDP. This is certainly better than the deficit of six percent of GDP, which had been forecast were this deal to have fallen through. Over the long term, analysts also believe that the deal will enable Morocco to attract new foreign investors and high technologies to modernize its agricultural-based economy.
But there is a downside to the Maroc Telecom deal, and that is massive reduction in staff that will inevitably take place as Vivendi strives to enhance Maroc Telecom's competitiveness and productivity. And it will not be long in coming. In an effort to cut the firm's operating costs, 14,000 staff will soon be laid off.
The Maroc Telecom downsizing will add new members to Morocco's growing community of unemployed. The official jobless rate currently stands at 14.2 percent, but the real rate is most probably considerably higher. ¯ (Albawaba-MEBG)

Thursday afternoon brought about the beginning of spring practice for the Hilltoppers. After not practicing for a few months the team was a little rusty but overall had a very good first practice.
Practice was extremely spirited and the Hilltoppers got a lot accomplished. Coaches were pushing players as if the Indiana game was on Saturday. Today's practice was physical, up-tempo and had the flavor of fall camp.
Players were in pads and players were not supposed to tackle but going almost four months without unloading on someone, proved hard to do.
Although this was the first practice of spring camp, a few players did catch my eye, and stood out on several plays and during drills.
On the offensive line, Cody Hughes and Greg Ryan played very physical for a first practice.
Running backs Tyrell Hayden, Andrew McCloud, and Bobby Rainy, all seemed to have had a good day.
At wide receiver, Quinterrance Cooper, Jake Gaebler, and Jessie Quinn, made a few good catches.
Defensively, LB Alonzo Higgins, DL "Big Red" Johnson, DB Brad Cloud made several plays. Defensive backs Rashad Etheridge and Jihad Morris practiced with a lot of intensity and were ready to lay the wood today.
The offense had a very good first day overall. However, to be fair, the defense was not allowed to de-horn the running backs and receivers.
Head Coach David Elson and the staff were all over the field teaching, pushing players, and keeping the tempo and intensity at high levels all practice long. Overall day one went very well.
One down, fourteen to go.
The Hilltoppers next practice will be Friday starting at 3:30pm at Houchens L.T. Smith Stadium. Practices are open to the public.

Code Academy Teaches Web Development to the Masses
I can definitely dig what Mike McGee and Neal Sales-Griffin are doing up in Chicago. Going from knowing nothing about coding or development, to almost $1 million in revenue for their tech startup that teaches students how to code in as little as two years, these Brothas are putting technology in Chicago on the map.
Check out an excerpt of the story I wrote in Black Enterprise:
Named after the year of the Great Chicago Fire,1871, the 50,000 sq. ft. startup hub in downtown Chicago officially opened its doors last Thursday, ushering in the future of technology in one of Chicago's oldest buildings, The Merchandise Mart. Now, engineers, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, startups, techies, and students can use the space to begin crafting their dreams, and Code Academy, a 12-week program that teaches non-techies web development, has been the first tenet to "beta- test" the space. Even before the grand opening, Code Academy was able to pack the house with over 500 attendees for their first Demo Day.
Launched by two young African-American entrepreneurs, Neal Sales-Griffin and Mike McGee, Code Academy started its third semester with 80 students and three instructors. According to McGee, they should be in the neighborhood of $1 million in revenue by the end of this summer, which is the direct result of about two years of hard work, determination, networking and being told 'no' more times than they would've preferred.
Northwestern graduates, Sales-Griffin, 24, a business major and McGee, 23, a graphic design and political science major, knew nothing about software development before they founded their tech startup. But they attempted to learn code themselves over a 12-month period, scouring the web for classes, materials, and any resources they could find.

Kitchen island sink plumbing pics request
I am trying to do my research and want to try to locate some examples of how the plumbing is ran in a kitchen island. Does anyone have pictures of how the loop vent was tied into the vertical stack. Was this vertical stack shared with another appiliance (like a washing machine? My laundry room is on the other side of the closest wall). Any pics or drawings before the concrete was pored would be a great help. I am on a ship in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and will be home in a week. Internet is SLOW! I will check with the local codes in Austin, Tx when I get back. Just want to get a jump on my research.
Thanks in advance
Thanks Plumber101

cant see what was posted
Thanks guys,
I will be going through a concrete slab. The picture shows a vent horizontal coming above the drain horizontal, is there a required distance the vent hz has to be above the drain hz?
I'd consider an air admittance vent (AAV). Much easier than a loop vent.

Apple TV – Early Impressions
My Apple TV came yesterday. I missed the Fedex delivery so had to drive to the Fedex distribution center to get my package. I could have waited until Monday, but you know how it is with new Apple hardware. 2 days is a long time.
For those who don't hang on Apple's every word, Apple TV is basically an iPod for your TV. You hook it up to your TV and it will synch itself with an iTunes installation within your house, bringing your iTunes content (music, TV shows, movies) and your photos to the biggest TV in your house. Contrary to its name, Apple TV is not a TV and the box clearly states TV not included.
I use Phanfare for my photos and videos, and I upload them from a bunch of different computers. I use a Mac at home, running Windows within Parallels, and I use a PC at work. And of course, I have a laptop or two. So there is no single iTunes/iPhoto installation that contains my full collection of photos and videos. Hence, my little Apple TV box is unable to show me my most important stuff.
I pretty much knew what Apple TV did before I bought one, so why did I buy one? I bought one because I wanted to see just how buttery such a device could be. And indeed, it does not disappoint. Controlled entirely by a six button remote, you can quickly navigate your content and enjoy it in your most-lean back environment in the house.
Setup was nearly flawless. The only glitch was that i could not get the Apple TV box to associate with either my wireless G or wireless A network, both of which use WPA security. My guess is that they only got it working with WEP. I have a Proxim AP-4000 wireless access point, a business grade access point that typically works properly with any device that follows standards. If the Apple TV had failed to work with a Linksys access point, I would not even mention it .
You pair your Apple TV to your iTunes installation much like you pair a bluetooth keyboard. The Apple TV shows you a 5 digit code on your TV and you type that at your desktop into iTunes to complete the association.
Although Apple's DRM limits you to playing ITMS content on 5 computers, each one requiring authorization, the Apple TV does not count against this limit. Again, it's the iPod model.
As far as I can tell, the Apple TV does not show your personal videos on the device, a serious limitation. Even if you have an iPhoto album that contains a video, the video is omitted.
Also, after initial synch, I had to click "sync" in itunes to make it see additional iPhoto content. Possibly it polls once per day and I had not waited long enough, but given the whole thing is on your local network, seems like they could have done better there.
The experience at the TV is pure Apple. When you first start the box, it uses stock photos in an elaborate way to create a screensaver when the Apple TV is idle. Once it is synched with your content, it silently moves to using your images. Slick.
But fundamentally, the concept is flawed. Synching a device with a desktop computer is not really what you want. What you want is to Sync Apple TV with the cloud. Imagine if your Mac was instead at an industrial datacenter and somehow or other, you could could administer it remotely and get your photos and videos onto the computer. Now imagine that it is backed up, on conditioned power and the content is available from any web browser. In this configuration Apple TV would be brilliant for your photos and videos [if it supported videos]. This fungible $300 device could sit next to your TV, sync itself to the net and give you a more immersive experience with your photos and videos.
Of course, what I am describing is a Phanfare/Apple TV combination. Alas, we don't have the resources to build an Apple TV-like box here. And it is honestly not quite clear that you even need one as time goes on. Once the 25 megabit/second fiber comes to your house, the TV could just browse your content at your Phanfare site. Our slideshows are as good as the Apple slideshow on the Apple TV. True that it would require the network be up in your home to see your content, but that is not likely to be a big limitation in 3 years when your cordless phones also require that.
While Apple TV won't sync with Phanfare, you can turn your computer into a digital picture frame and pull content from multiple Phanfare accounts using our screensaver.
I know why Apple did the Apple TV. They started with the Mini and Frontrow and realized that consumers did not have any content on the Mini because they still managed their life from their den. So their solution was to create a cheap appliance that syncs with a desktop or laptop computer in your house. But the flaw is the philosophy that you ever needed a media hub in your home.
What you really want are caching appliances in your home that synch themselves with the cloud. In that way, your media is truly "homed" in the cloud. This way of doing business has a bunch of good properties for consumers, not the least of which is that you won't lose all your photos and videos to your next disk crash, there is a natural solution for multi-client (cell phone, wireless camera [it's coming], and laptop) and when your upgrade your computer, you don't need to figure out how to migrate your photos and videos.
It works even better for commercial content. Once you buy a song from ITMS, Apple could make sure you have perpetual access to it, and even upgrade the bitrate as time goes by. And of course, just because your local computers are just smart caches does not mean that you could not export an asset and copy it onto a CD or use it for a local project on your computer once Steve Jobs gets his way and kills the DRM.
This is the Phanfare vision. We don't have it all built yet, but watch us!

I'm a little discouraged that this post didn't get a reply. Has no one attempted to, or successfully antenna modded the AWLL3026/NA that I have?
It appears two versions of this USB dongle exist. The standard AWLL3026 and the AWLL3026/NA (which I have). The standard version is easily antenna hacked. The "link" below shows the PCB of the standard dongle and the spiraled internal antenna on the top right of the board.
w w w[.]picfresh.com/pics/d8492711e0910125813f5375e163bb13.jpg
Easy enough to solder a pigtail to that.
Now...if you are like me and have the N. American version (/NA) of this dongle, we have a bit of a problem.
w w w[.]picfresh.com/pics/5c33d25eabceac94dc65df2c3842de4c.jpg
On the bottem left of the PCB, you'll see a blue box labeled "WTC." That's our antenna. A low profile, surface mountable, low temp co-fired ceramic antenna. Said to have excellent performance in radiation, bandwidth 360MHz. Now, I'm not too familiar with this antenna. I could have sworn that an antenna didn't need two contact points, but due to this one having said condition, I'm not sure where to solder on the SMA connector.
This USB dongle works well, and due to its low cost and accessibility, I'm sure many of us own/use this. So, any advice is welcome.
I'm a little discouraged that this post didn't get a reply. Has no one attempted to, or successfully antenna modded the AWLL3026/NA that I have?
links for the lazy
someone posted that same thing befor here it is http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=15111
I read through that post before making mine. The problem is, he has the version with the spiraled internal antenna which is fairly easy to solder on to. Mine has the surface mounted ceramic antenna labeled "WTC" on the end. It's the little blue box.
I don't know why it has two connection points to the PCB. A friend of mine suggested one might be a ground, but I didn't think antenna needed to be grounded. It doesn't complete a circuit, does it? Thought it was an input.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I would say that the other end is strictly for mounting on th PCB. Feel free to only use the "feed" end of the antenna (but you still must find a ground point to attach your cable ground).
Ok. Thank you very much for the info. I'll get started on that as soon as I can.

Attorney Evan Guthrie of the Evan Guthrie Law Firm in Charleston, South Carolina judged the South Carolina Bar Middle School Mock Trial Competition in North Charleston, SC on Saturday November 9th 2014.
May 19, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Attorney Evan Guthrie of the Evan Guthrie Law Firm in Charleston, South Carolina judged the South Carolina Bar Middle School Mock Trial Competition in North Charleston, SC on Saturday November 9th 2014. The contest was the Lowcountry Regional of the statewide competition of middle school students sponsored by the Law Related Education of the South Carolina Bar.
Teams representing Charleston, SC middle schools such as Buist Academy, Marrington Middle School, and many others competed against each other in full trials including opening statements, three witnesses for each team including cross and direct, and a closing statement. The trials lasted about an hour in duration each and each team got a chance to compete in three trials each on the same day. The presiding judges and scoring judges were practicing attorneys and judges that were able to score and assess all of the teams to see who would be the two teams to move on to the state finals.
This was the first time that Attorney Evan Guthrie judged the Middle School Mock Trial Competition after previously judging a High School Regional Competition in the same location. Mr. Guthrie enjoyed being able to watch middle school students dress up and argue as lawyers in a competitive setting against other schools. Attorney Guthrie looks forward to being able to come back and judge future contests.

Titan's river cruises have never been more popular, and it's easy to understand why – on one of their cruises, you can enjoy some of the River Cruises In Europe having the most enchanting scenery from the deck of a luxury ship and visit towns, castles and palaces that feature in some of the continent's most significant historic tales.
The best thing about a river cruise is that you don't miss a thing, with plenty of time to take in the view as the ship travels slowly onwards.
Here are four of Europe's most enticing rivers for cruising holidays, along which a plethora of historic sites and stunning vistas await.
River Cruises In Europe : The Rhine
Steeped in myth and legend, a cruise on the Rhine is one of the most magical in Europe.
Winding over 830km from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea, the river has always featured prominently in the Europe's history and story books.
The majority of the river snakes through Germany, and it is here that ships embark on adventures through lands of medieval castles and vineyards.
Explore the city of Cologne with its majestic cathedral, stroll through the narrow streets of historic Koblenz, and boat along the canals of Strasbourg.
River Cruises In Europe : The Douro
In terms of natural, wild beauty, river cruises don't get any better than those along the Douro of Portugal.
Rolling hills adorned with sleepy villages, sprawling vineyards and verdant meadows line the route between the Spanish boarder and coastal town of Porto on the Iberian Peninsula.
This tranquil trip is all about laying back and enjoying the scenery, with meadows filled with wild flowers in spring and the vineyards decorated with gold and auburn during autumn.
One of the oldest wine regions in the world, there is plenty of opportunity to sample local tipples on a cruise, with vineyard tours aplenty.
Explore the cobbled, gleaming streets of Spanish Salamanca, enjoy the vistas on the stint through the Douro Valley, and explore the UNESCO world heritage city of Porto.
River Cruises In Europe : The Danube
Longest of the European rivers, the Danube winds through ten countries making it the perfect river cruise for those seeking diversity and adventure: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine – travel from some of Europe's beat loved cities to some of its best kept secrets.
With the fertile banks of the river having served as the perfect place to settle for pioneers throughout history, a cruise will take you past a number of captivating cities including Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Vienna and the German city of Nuremberg.
For folklore, culture and enchanting forests, this river cruise is the perfect choice.
River Cruises In Europe : The Rhone
The south of France has been the inspiration for countless artists, its colours and landscape featuring in the work of Monet and Van Gogh amongst many others.
For those with an artistic, romantic temperament, this is a river cruise to quench the imagination and inspire.
Cruising through Provence and Burgundy, expect breathtaking vistas, a sumptuous pallet of colours and story-book villages.
Buy fresh bread and cheese at the outdoor markets in Tauron, visit the Roman ruins in Lyon, and take a walking tour through Avignon, City of Popes.

Submitted to: Journal of Experimental Botany
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/19/2003
Publication Date: 2/27/2004
Citation: Gitz, D.C., Liu-Gitz, L., Mcclure, J.W., Huerta, A. 2004. Effects of a pal inhibitor on phenolic accumulation and uv-b tolerance in spirodela intermedia (koch). Journal of Experimental Botany.55(398)919-927. Interpretive Summary: Scientists have been interested in how plants cope with stress from the ultraviolet (UV) radiation for decades. Until recently the only method of directly testing ideas about how plants cope with UV stress was by making mutants, a time consuming and expensive task. This work provides direct evidence of UV screening by phenols without resorting to manipulating genes. Phenols are compounds produced by plants, which are thought to act as sunscreens and antioxidants in plants. This report also describes a new method for visualizing phenols in plant tissues. Because this manuscript provides additional tools for researchers to use, it is important to plant physiologists, biochemists, and breeders seeking to understand the prevention of UV induced stresses, as well as other plant stresses. The consumer will benefit from such understanding, because crops which resist UV and related stresses will have higher yields, which translates into lower prices in the store.
Technical Abstract: Duckweed (Spirodela intermedia) was grown axenically on 1/2 strength Hutner's nutrient solution plus 1% sucrose, with the L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) inhibitor 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP) at 0.0, 0.05 or 10 :M, at constant 25° C and 300 µE m-2 s-1 photosynthetically active radiation from CW fluorescent lamps. Growth with 10 µM AIP led to decreased frond area and fresh weight but dry weight was unchanged. Microscopic examination of fronds revealed increased frond thickness and a lack of reticulate aerenchyma. Ultraviolet epifluorescence microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy of methanolic extracts confirmed dose dependent inhibition of secondary phenolic synthesis with near total elimination of secondary phenolic accumulation at the 10 :M level. AIP treated plants showed increased sensitivity to UV-B as shown by a reduced Fv/Fm. The results provided direct evidence of the working hypothesis that phenols function to screen UV radiation before reaching photosynthetic tissues or damaging other sensitive tissues. A novel histochemical method employing zirconyl chloride to visualize phenols is discussed.

Dabs Direct also jumps gun on Intel Coppermines
You can place your orders now
Online site Dabs Direct has pre-empted Intel's expected announcement of a raft of Coppermine microprocessors this coming Monday by offering them for sale two days early. That follows our story yesterday, when we revealed that UK PC company Mesh was offering systems using the .18 micron processors. Thanks to James Stormont, a reader who noticed that Dabs does not list every processor that Intel will introduce Monday, but instead lists seven or eight of the desktop products. Those include the Pentium III 500E, with 256K of cache and using socket 370, with the sexy Intel code BX80526F500256, for which Dabs is charging £165. It also lists the Pentium III 733EB 256KB S1 with a 133MHz front side bus, which will cost £525, and the 666EB chip, a slot one part, which also has a 133MHz front side bus, and costs £410. The Pentium III 700E with 256K costs £510. Value added tax (VAT) at 17.5 per cent, is added to these prices. You can find the full list by clicking on this tortuous URL. As revealed here earlier, Intel will also introduce mobile and Xeon parts, as well as the i840 chipset. The Register revealed prices and configurations of these parts some weeks ago. A number of links to our previous stories can be found by clicking on this Mesh story. Intel will not comment on unannounced products and prices to journalists, but it seems vendors just can't wait. ®

Inclement Weather: Expect Delays
Millions of people along the East Coast are in for potentially dicey commutes as they return to work Monday after a weekend winter storm dropped record snowfall, interrupted holiday shopping and stranded travelers.
The Associated Press reports that the storm crept up the coast on Saturday and Sunday, walloping states from the mid-Atlantic to New England. The storms caused hundreds of delayed and canceled flights, widespread power outages and treacherous driving conditions. The weather was also blamed for several deaths in North Carolina and Virginia.
The New York City Transit agency said it anticipated a normal rush hour Monday morning as hundreds of subway employees worked overnight to finish cleaning platforms.
Even as workers return to the job Monday, their children in some cases have the day off.
The School District of Philadelphia and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia canceled classes for 195,000 public school and Roman Catholic school students to give the city another day to clear roads and sidewalks. Public schools in parts of Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and New York also are closed today.
Meanwhile, airports in the Northeast that were jammed up this weekend are working their way back to normal operations. Two of the four runways at Dulles International Airport in Washington reopened Sunday. Reagan National reopened its main runway, which handles all commercial traffic.
By early Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration was reporting that all major airports on the East Coast had average flight delays of less than 15 minutes.
Still, three major airports in the New York City area are expecting an unusually busy holiday travel season as many who were stranded by the cancellation of 1,200 flights over the weekend try to make it to their destinations.
The backup wasn't limited to the air. Amtrak reported that some trains in the East would be canceled Monday because of the storm and that long-distance trains to the South and West faced substantial delays.
Power outages remain an issue. Nearly 200,000 people are without power in North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia, and more than 500 people are in shelters.
The storm came on the last weekend before Christmas, and merchants feared they'd take a hit as the storm blew through, shutting people indoors. Crowds were unusually light Sunday morning at the Providence Place mall in downtown Providence, where Reuben Tillman III, a salesman at Champs Sports, said he had made only one sale in his first couple of hours at work.
"But I do have a theory: Everybody who's here has a SUV," he said. "This is happy truck day."

Enhanced minimum wage, tax reform needed now – FITUG
The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) says for too long Guyana's working-class has been carrying the tax burden as such it wishes for the New Year that government facilitates "necessities" such as an improved national minimum wage and tax reform.
"Reform here must [cover] the widest spectrum of the nation's work-force," the grouping said in a press release.
Lawmakers should also consider improving hire purchase legislation safety and local government reform. "True local democracy resides in the communities' authority and creativity to truly manage their own affairs daily.
Central government must provide some amount of administrative and financial support bolstered by national policies," FITUG further stated. The union reiterated that local government reform and elections are needed now.

If you've ever seen the video for "My Humps," you know exactly what I'm talking about. Not only can the girl shake her booty, but she can actually make "the girls" bump up and down. Incredible! Those are some seriously strong chest muscles! So in honor of the "pump" that Fergie recreated on stage last night, I wanted to share my favorite move to strengthen and tone the chest from Exhale's Core Fusion classes. You may not get them to dance like Fergie can, but targeting the area can certainly help give you a little lift!
Thanks again to our friends from the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority for the tickets! There are some great shows in AC too! And for more details, pics, and video of last night's concert, check out the SELFY Stars blog.

The implementation of social impact assessment in local government
Summerville, Jennifer A., Buys, Laurie, & Germann, Roseanne E. (2006) The implementation of social impact assessment in local government. In Hall, Carly & Hopkinson, Chanel (Eds.) Social Change in the 21st Century 2006, 27th October 2006, Carseldine QUT, Brisbane.
|PDF (63kB)
The nature of development throughout past generations has delivered some valuable lessons to those who are impacted by it. Subsequently, instituting sustainable development practices has become a key goal of governments – national and international – as well as professionals within the field of planning and development. This has resulted in a range of legislative and policy shifts that are designed to encourage development that is environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. The implementation of Social Impact Assessment (SIA) policy within many local governments in Australia has been an important step toward ensuring that development-related decisions and outcomes take appropriate account of social and cultural impacts on communities and individuals. However, the existence of SIA policy does not guarantee its successful implementation within local government contexts. This analysis of SIA literature provides a basis for local governments to identify and address the challenges that may arise when implementing SIA policy.

A few random statements about hearing voices, not taking the medication anymore, and referring to yourself in the third person usually gets you out of it with no problem.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Hear in the North East the bible might work, the koran, not so mutch.
I recently completed five weeks of grand jury service. Being in a small room with no windows for that many days with the same seven people can try anyone's patience. Four of the seven jurors were gun owners. One of them was very vocal about having a CHL and carrying pretty much all of the time. It got pretty annoying after a few days, because between every case the only two topics of conversation were guns and politics. I love talking about guns, but not with those people. And not all the time. I was really glad when the end of our term rolled around.

I have had jury duty more times than I think were my share. I don't mind the time, but the "playhouse" atmosphere of most trials will get to you. I honestly try to leave my "baggage" (bias, opinions, stereotyping ) and yes I do have them, at home and go with the evidence. Problem is with all the play acting that goes on, you rarely ever really know what the real evidence is or what really did happen. Both sides spin a fairy tale and then everybody starts deciding based on their own like or dislike of the defendent and/or the prosecutor. I've seen too many convictions based on Circumstantial Evidence. Circumstantial evidence is a nice way of saying "we don't really have any proof the poor guy did it, but we'll burn him anyway."
My own advice for those who go to trial: be the one with the crooked lawyer, they are the best at spinning the best fairy tale!

ROFLMAO.... when I had jury duty.... we elected the 18 yr old female in there as the Jury Foreman. She actually did very good in keeping people on track when things got heated during deliberations.
But, the funny thing is, afterwards the Judge came in and said " I have to ask , how did you decide to elect an 18 yr old as Jury Foreman ". LOL. Because none of us were dumb enough to do it.

"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
You might want to google the term. What you find may surprise youAnd ''flip em the bird and die like a viking type''?You don't have to like what I'm saying for it to be trueSeems from your posts you have a low opinion of many of the members. Just saying.
Just saying
And because you say it doesn't mean it's true. I'd submit that the low opinion is pretty much reciprocated.You don't have to like what I'm saying for it to be true
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"
That's ok , my self worth isn't based on the opinion of strangers on the internet.I'd submit that the low opinion is pretty much reciprocated.

The 100 best French films: now have your say
Disagree with our experts' choices? Don't hold back...
We polled more than 100 experts to discover their top 100 French films of all time.
From their choices, we compiled our definitive list of the 100 best French films. Dive in and find out where classics such as 'Les Enfants du paradis', 'Eyes Without a Face' and 'La Haine' landed in the rankings.
We've heard from the film industry experts, now we want your favourites. Which classic French film moves you like no other? Which movies have our experts missed? And which one really deserves the Number One spot? Click here and tell us!
I recently saw Blue is the Warmest Colour, and the performances of the two young leads were astounding. Their breakup was my own as a young man, first love. Incredible and amazing. Heart-rending. (You can just skip the sex scenes; nice but they don't add anything to the film)
Documentaries such as Le Chagrin et la Pitie (Sorrow and the Pity) and Le Mystere Picasso?
I don't remember seeing in that list: "Monsieur Vincent", "Les Enfants du Paradis", "Vivre pour Vivre", "Un Homme et Une Femme", "Les Amants", "Black Orpheus", "Jules et Jim", Et Dieu Crea la Femme", "The Last Metro", "Inchochine", "Est-Ouest", "La Grande Illusion", "Journal d'un Pére de Campagne", Les jeux Interdits", "la Règle du Jeu", "Les Choses de la Vie", etc.
I suppose the first film I noticed that was not on the list was Blood of a Poet or perhaps it is and I simply missed it. I would also have included Alphaville and made sure my selection criteria allowed for Black Orpheus to be included since it's probably better than at least ninety of the films on the list. I suppose if it were up to me I would include all of Melville's films, oh and where is The Beaches of Agnè, that wonderful documentary by and about Agnès Varda? An impressive film indeed that. Oh, I could go on about obvious classics that were left out and I sure like Diva better than Jacaues Tati who really doesn't translate well into anything Americans can make sense of... but then these lists are always maddening for they are all inevitably made out by cretins who wouldn't know a great film even were they to wake up in the middle of 8 1/2 being filmed with their head resting on Anita Ekberg's bosom. That being said, since this undertaking was doomed from the start, I will give the process five stars for the grand nature (Or is it audacity?) of the gesture.
Maybe some of these could fit in: Tchao Pantin (1983) Bernie (1996) Léon (1994) Le Grand Bleu (1988) Le dernier combat (1983) Un singe en hiver (1962) L'emmerdeur (1973) Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) Le bonheur est dans le pré (1995) Calmos (1976) Trop belle pour toi (1989) Garde à vue (1981) Un taxi pour Tobrouk (1961) Tenue de soirée (1986) Sortez les mouchoirs (1978) Série noire (1979) Les choses de la vie (1970) Le vieux fusil (1975) 37°2 le matin (1986) La fille sur le pont (1999) Ne le dis à personne (2006) Milou en mai (1990) La chèvre (1981) L'auberge Espagnole (2002) Le choix des armes (1981)
I saw all of them. This list sucks. This list has been made by 100+ y-o guys without eyeglasses and hearing aid.
Amelie? Somehow it might be too popular for film snobs. Its a magical film, I watch it once a year. The images, the story, music, it all makes me feel good.
In 1946 a French Film titled "Le Symphonie Pastorole" was released with the great actor Pierre Blanchar. It rarely appears on any BEST LIST roster, but the acting by Michelle Morgan and Blanchar was superb as was the story. Morgan and the film won the Palme d"Or at the Cannes Festival that year.The stunning visuals are so breath-taking you could barely leave the theatre. Why is this powerful film overlooked. Another three films that are overlooked, all played by actor Harry Baur (great French character actor) in the title roles of "Rasputin,""Lives and Loves of Beethoven"and "Volpone" . Absolute brilliant acting....and I am an Okie but lived through French films.
Jean de florette and Manon of the Spring? "Z" wasn't that also a French film? Au revoir les Infants ? All much better than bottom 50 on this list. In fact Z is 5 stars for its universality of political mavericks vulnerability to tyrants or the machine.
Where is the masterpiece that is ' THE EIGHTH DAY ' - ' Le Huitieme Jour '. Sheer joy from the start to the finish.
it was terrible
Where. Is. Amelie.
Enter the Void shouldn't be on the list (none of Noe's films should be). Sans soleil and some of Tati's films should be ranked quite a bit higher. Delicatessen should not even be on the list (none of Jeunet's films should be). Pickpocket and The Passion of Joan of Arc should be in at least the top twenty, preferably in the top ten. All of Bresson's films should be on the list. La Haine and To Our Loves are ranked much too favorably and an arguement could be made that they don't even belong on this list. Breathless should be in the top twenty as should Hiroshima mon amour. Au hasard Balthazar could possibly take the number one spot and should at least be in the top eight or so. This list also needs more Renoir. These are all just my opinion(s) of course and creating lists like this is generally problematic and difficult so I applaud the effort.
Thanks for the list. I'll start watching those I haven't seen (about 90) so it could take a while. As for the top 100. What does it really matter. I love much of French cinema. More subtle, intelligent, a heightened awareness of human conflict, comedy, despair and love, rather than the shallow pond of celluloid, superficial plastic fantastic regurgitated by Hollywood. But there are always exceptions on both sides of the Atlantic. I'll enjoy working my way through the list.
also La voiee lactee and The discreet charm of the bourjoise are both great, too bad they aren't listed here :(
Ummm... how about Au revoir les enfants? I think it deserves to be here :)
Jean de Florette
Vivre pour Vivre (Lelouch) is best.
L'Atalante still strikes me as the greatest ever, anywhere, but I don't have a quarrel with Rules of the Game. My only quarrel is with the absence of The Earrings of Madame de . . ., which should be in the top 10. Congratulations always on not forgetting The Green Ray.
My two favorites were omitted. No Discreet charm of the bourgousie and no Jules and Jim?
Good list! The only serious omission I've noticed is "A Man Escaped."
How can you have the 100 greatest French films without Diva??? The movie turned me on to foreign films.
I agree with yiorgos - Diary of a Country Priest would be my number one.
How can l take this list seriously when you omit Bresson's 'Diary Of a Country Priest'?
Jules Dassin may have been American but Du Rififi Chez Les Hommes (1955) is surely a French film and for you to omit it from this list seems staggering.
No Amelie? No Les Amants du Pont-Neuf? And where is Le Diner de Cons? Great list though guys! So many films I now have to catch up with straightaway!
Sundays and Cybele

/// The Myspace Sweepstakes Drag on–Another Bid Deadline Today As Sale Deadline Looms
Yes, Myspace is still for sale. But, no , no one has yet made a good enough bid–in other words, at the more than $100 million level its owner, News Corp., has sought–to knock out anyone else. And who knows who will, as those working on the deal gave a deadline today for any revised bids for the social entertainment hub. Among those remaining in the running: two strategic bidders, although the CEO of the Vevo music service has denied interest; several private equity players, including Criterion Capital Partners, which bought Bebo from AOL for a song; and an aggressive inside effort by CEO Michael Jones, which would include venture investors and a possible continued smaller ownership by News Corp. News Corp. is holding out for a few more bids today from those who had expressed initial interest, said sources close to the situation, after the company provided additional information about long troubled service. That included data showing some increased user engagement from a recent Facebook artists profile app launch and a new music playback system, among other efforts to revive Myspace.

A bad credit loan rating can make it hard for you to get ordinary loans that have the best rates and terms. In fact, it is typically impossible to get approval for conventional loans when you have a poor rating. However, you may need to get a loan if you have an emergency that you must handle before payday. Do not be discouraged if that happens because there is another option for those with a low rating.
Loans for people with bad credit online
Many trusted lending companies offer loans for bad credit online. If you have a low rating, you can still normally qualify for loans from an online lending company. Those online lenders usually charge high interest rates because of their increased risks. Nevertheless, they can help you when traditional lenders with the best rates turn you down.
Choosing the best lending company
The online lenders have various rates and conditions for their loans for people with bad credit rating. Some trusted lending companies allow you to make monthly payments. However, other lenders ask you to pay off a loan with your next paycheck. Each lender may have different fees and penalties for late payments as well. Comparing different lending companies can be quick and simple if you use a bad credit loan comparison website.
Comparison websites have databases listing the best, trusted lending companies online. The comparison sites and the trusted lending companies use advanced technology that encrypts the data they send and receive, so your information stays private at all times.
Application process for loans for bad credit
Applying for loans for people who have a low credit rating is fast and easy when you use an online lender. Simply complete the application on the site with the requested information and enter it. Within minutes, you will receive several offers from trusted lenders. You can compare all the offers on the website and decide which lending company has the best deal for you.
After you accept the best loan for people with a low credit rating, the trusted lender will deposit the money in your account with a wire transfer. Your loan for bad credit funds should be ready for you to withdraw the minute your bank receives the transfer. Making payments for loans with bad credit to the lenders works much like receiving the money. The lending companies withdraw the payments for bad credit loans from your account on the due dates. Be certain that the payment amounts will be available when they are due to avoid lending company late fees or bank overdraft charges.

Squaw Valley Ski Patroller Dies After Avalanche
By: KCRA.com and The Associated Press
Date: March 3, 2009
RENO, Nev. -- A member of Squaw Valley USA's ski patrol died at a hospital Tuesday after he was caught in an avalanche, the Squaw Valley Fire Department said.
Andrew Entin, 41, was doing avalanche control work on a headwall with a partner when he was caught by the avalanche and partially buried, representative Pete Bansen said.
Entin's partner dug him out and emergency workers responded, Bansen said.
He sustained multiple fractures and trauma as a result of the avalanche, Squaw Valley officials said.
The ski patroller was taken to Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee and then to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, where he died.
Bansen said Entin was a longtime member of the Squaw Valley ski patrol.
"The Squaw Valley Family unites in wishing Andrew Entin's wife and family our deepest sympathy. Our hearts go out to them at this difficult time. We will not forget Andrew, his camaraderie and his courage," Squaw Valley USA chairman and CEO Nancy Cushing said.
Entin had been working the same route for nine years, Squaw Valley officials said.
More than 4 feet of snow have fallen at upper elevations of the region over the last 24 hours.

The Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with The Advertising Council and the Sloan Foundation, launched an advertising campaign to educate citizens about preparing for and responding to potential future terrorist attacks.
The public service announcements offer practical suggestions to increase preparedness, including learning about serious threats, making emergency supply kits, creating a family communication plan and keeping emergency phone numbers near the phone. The government hopes the new campaign will reduce fears by providing individuals with specific actions they can take to protect themselves, their families and their communities in the wake of an attack, or another emergency situation., such as building an emergency supply kit. The kit should contain:
- Three days worth of non-perishable food and water
- Flashlights and a battery-powered radio, along with extra batteries for both
- Blankets
- A first aid kit and medicines
- A manual can opener
- At least a half of tank of gas in the family car
- A list of emergency and contact numbers
Even if a community is not directly affected by an attack, lives and daily routines can be disrupted. People may need to shelter at home for a couple of days, and roads and stores may be closed. Electricity may be turned off, and water supplies might be interrupted.
A family communication plan should detail how everyone in the family should stay in touch should an event occur when family members are separated. Family members should know what the emergency plan is for different types of attacks. Every state, every community, every school and every workplace should have an emergency plan. The Department of Homeland Security suggests citizens find out what that plan is and who is in charge.

strokes, rod lengths and bores
I race at a local dirt track, and as many, am on a very limited budget. I have a 327 large journal, with new crank. Having trouble locating parts for same. Have found several places for 350 parts. I have numerous 350 rods, 5.7 length. Question. Can I covert the 327 to a 350, using the stock crank I currently have, and the 350 rods and pistons, or would I be better served to buy 327 rods and pistons? I would appreciate any help you can offer. TY.
Putting 350 rods and pistons on a 327 crank, will only get you a very sick, turd of a 327!!!
i don't understand what the problem is if you are using a large journal 327.small journal yes but not the large.rods shouldn't be a problem.
First off, all stock small block chevy rods are 5.703, the only one that wasn`t was the 400 small block, which used shorter 5.565 rods. How Chevy made up the difference with different stroke cranks was by altering the compression height of the piston, a 327 has a 3.250 inch stroke, the 350 has a 3.480 inch stroke, so the 327 piston had a 1.675 inch compression height so it would reach the top of the bore, since the 350`s stroke is longer, it used a shorter compression height piston of 1.560 inches. You can place a 350 crank in your 327 block and use 350 pistons and you`ll have a 350, if you used 350 pistons with a 327 crank, the pistons would be short of the top of the bore by 0.115 which would result in very low compression and no quench at all, it would run but it would be quite sick. if you used 327 pistons and a 350 crank, the pistons would be out of the bore by quite a ways. I don`t see why your having problems finding parts for a large journal 327, although they were only in production 2 model years, this is still a popular engine, pistons are avalible for it and since all the large journal small block rods are 5.7 inches they all interchange. you can use a 307 crankshaft in a 350 block and have a large journal 327. I would think the 327 pistons cost somewhat more, the cheapest engine to build and race is the 350, and why is because it`s the most popular.
he said he has a 327 large journal crank and is having trouble finding parts.i know all the dimensions.
I guess I forgot to include, I also have a large journal crank, and bearings, for the large journal 327. I didnt know the rods were the same length. Guess I can use the 350 rods I currently have, and buy some 327 pistons. TY for the help guys........Anyone have any info on where I can purchase some quality pistons for a minimal price?
You'll enjoy trying to hook up the 350 more than the 327. When the track get's sticky, everyone with 355's, 377's, 388's, 383's and 406's are gonna leave ya behind. You better pray for the slick!
I'd build a 355 first. Unless you are on two barrals. Then a 331 is okay if you'll turn it 9600. By that time, it's expensive again.

Research Writing Com 220
posted by Canda .
Were going into week 7 I don not know how to do a rough draft of research paper but I'm going to write about Domestic Violence and Homelessness I'm nedding to see sample of how to do this.
I need help
It depends on your prompt. What are you asked to research?
Domestic Violence and Homelessness
That's WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too broad a topic. People have written books about these social and economic issues.
First, narrow your topic:
There are several sites (first five especially) which have good ideas here.
Then, follow the steps here:
(Broken Link Removed)
You are at step 2, almost ready to go into step 3.
Don't skip any steps or your paper will be all over the place, not proving whatever point you want to concentrate on.
First you need to write a full sentence outline of your topic:
you thesis statement
main points and then sub points
introduction of your topic and a conclusion of your topic.
Your topic actually is a good topic to write on because there is so much information on this topic, researching this topic should be quite easy. Don't listen to someone that tells you that your topic is way to broad because it isn't.

Testosterone is the leading sex hormone for the male body. Thanks to it, the stronger sex develops masculine features such as gruff voice, male-pattern hair growth, strong muscles, leadership skills, endurance, aggression, etc. In addition, testosterone regulates libido, male potency, and high-quality spermatogenesis.

"Twilight" fans camp out for days ahead of premiere
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Under a glaring California sun, "Twilight" fans took shelter in camping tents on Tuesday, as they awaited their date with Robert Pattinson and other stars from the latest film in the vampire romance series.
Some 550 devotees of "The Twilight Saga," many of whom have camped out since Sunday night in downtown Los Angeles, are being rewarded for their patience with guaranteed spots on the red carpet for the Thursday movie premiere of "Eclipse."
"It's just worth seeing all the stars. They bring the characters that we love so much to life, so we want to see them in person and cheer them on," said Yolanda Rodriguez, 36, an unemployed graphic designer who came from San Francisco for the event.
The fans, virtually all female, are living on the concrete plaza of an entertainment complex, surrounded by blankets, tents, umbrellas and cardboard cut-outs of the film's stars.
The "Twilight" books by author Stephenie Meyer have been a publishing sensation and spawned a Hollywood movie franchise.
"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opening June 30 and starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, will likely be one of 2010's biggest blockbusters. The first two films made over $1.1 billion combined at box offices worldwide.
Jen Yamato, film critic and "Twilight" expert with Movies.com, compared fan fervor to the emotions caused by The Beatles in the 1960s.
"It's really akin to Beatlemania back in the day, in terms of how ardently 'Twilight' fans really love the property, and camping out outside of the premiere is just one way to celebrate that love," Yamato told Reuters. Continued...

Macbook Thief Caught By Hidden App And Tumblr
A San Francisco interaction designer Joshua Kaufman was able to retrieve his computer using a remarkable security app combined with the publicity powers of the blogging platform.
A San Francisco interaction designer Joshua Kaufman was able to retrieve his stolen Macbook using the remarkable security app Hidden combined with the publicity powers of Tumblr.
According to Hidden:
When you activate tracking, Hidden will locate your stolen computer anywhere on the planet, collect photos of the thief and screen shots of the computer in use.(We also collect lots of nerdy network information, but we won't bore you with the details!)
The Hidden team will also help you work with the police when recovering your stolen computer.
Kaufman used the Hidden app to do just that. He was able to identify the thief by taking pictures with the laptop's camera and further identify him with screencaps of personal information entered into the stolen computer. Kaufman devoted a Tumblr blog thiguyhasmymacbook to images captured by the Hidden app and exactly one internet meme cycle later, San Francisco police apprehended the perpetrator.
