Genesis 17:19And God said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him. 20 And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to thee at this time, in the next year. (LXX)
The Arabs are descendant of Ishmael.
Well there are two different types of Arabs. True Arabs, the descendants of Ishmael, and the Arabized Arabs, Arabs by language only, such as most of those in Northern Africa perhaps those North of Arabia such as Syrians, which the ANtiochian belong, and Iraq perhaps. The Arabs like the Jews, were concerned about their lineage, and the families of Arabs especially in Arabia know their descendancy. How accurate that is, I don't know.

Also, we shouldn't be so quick to point fingers of blame, Muhammad forcing people to become Muslims.
Prove it. Prove: 1) they are descended from Ishmael2) they knew who Patriarch Abraham was
It's simply stating a fact. Mohammed sacked Mecca and forced the conversion of those who originally rejected his "prophesies".
What are your standards of authentication? If they are reasonable I'll see what I can find.
And another thing:While often spouted, this has yet to be proven by anyone. Think about it. The Antiochian Orthodox Christians are also Arabs, yet they do not claim to be "descended from Ishmael".
This is just revisionist spin doctoring by Islam. Prior to Islam, the Arabs who were forcibly "converted" by the deluded Mohammed storming Mecca were pagans who worshipped rocks. The Old Testament existed for millenia before the Arabs even heard of monotheism, let alone Patriarch Abraham and his sons, so how on earth would they possibly have known that they were descended from one of Abraham's sons?
Actually we do.According to Arab lore, which predates Islam, the first Arabs "the Arab Arabs" have disappeared (hence the term "the Vanished Arabs"), but before they did they Arabized the descendents of Yoktan, who in term Arabized the sons of Ishamael.There are a number of references to Arabs as descendents of Ishmael: Josephus mentions the fact that they circumcize at age 13 (something Muslims do now) because of their ancestor Ishmael. Remember, Moses' father in law was an Arab (see for instance Genesis 25 37) and the Arabs/Ishamelites/Midianites etc. crop up repeatedly in the Old Testament. There are also a number of references in the Fathers to this fact, e.g. Sozomon's account of the Arabs/Saracenshttp://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf202.iii.xi.xxxviii.htmlWhere the ancestery is specifically mentioned in connection to their conversion to Christianity.As for the blessing of the Arabs, they were nations before Muhammand. Philip the Arab, the first (though crypto-)Christian Roman emperor (and ruled at the time of Rome's millenium); the Agbars at Edessa were an Arab dynasty, and became the center of Syriac Christianity. Zenobia and Mavia/Mania were Arab queens. The Ghasanids ruled the former lands of the Nabateans (also Arab) and the Lakhmids ruled Mesopotamia under the shahs (they had become powerful enough to determine succession of the shahenshah). The Lakhmids also adapted the Syriac alphabet to Arabic, creating the one we use today. The kingdom of Kindah had united Arabia briefly. Both Ghassanids and Lakhmids were Christian when the caliphs conquered them (actually, in the case of the Ghassanids, they switched sides during the Battle of Yarmuk, the king Jabala converting to Islam, but later renouncing it and returning to Christianity and exile in the Roman Empire). Before all that, the last Babylonian emperor Nebonidus moved to Teman, an Arab city state in Arabia, which is how it merits a condemnation in Jereimiah 32:10 (LXX look at your OSB, in the Masoretic 25:23). So in a wordly sense the Arabs were as great a nation as the Hebrews under Solomon. Btw, King Herod's family were Arabs before their conversion, and intermarried with Arabs after it.
Any non-islamic sources of records prior to the deluded prophet Mohammed would suffice.Islam is only 1300 yrs old, and Abraham lived millenia before it, so it shouldn't be too hard to find pre-islamic records from the millenia prior to Islam which prove it.
2. Now in a little time Abraham had a son by Sarah, as God had foretold to him, whom he named Isaac, which signifies Laughter. And indeed they so called him, because Sarah laughed when God said that she should bear a son, she not expecting such a thing, as being past the age of child-bearing, for she was ninety years old, and Abraham a hundred; so that this son was born to them both in the last year of each of those decimal numbers. And they circumcised him upon the eighth day and from that time the Jews continue the custom of circumcising their sons within that number of days. But as for the Arabians, they circumcise after the thirteenth year, because Ismael, the founder of their nation, who was born to Abraham of the concubine, was circumcised at that age; concerning whom I will presently give a particular account, with great exactness.
Well thanks, this is good solid reply. I am just trying find answers to the small questions, before they become big problems and haunt me later.But I am still curious to what is the difference between, covenant and blessings, if anyone answer that, it would be lovely.
What of those non-Arabs who become Muslim proselytes? Do they then become descendants of Ishmael, too?
Although Islam has some truth it does not have the complete truth. Anyway those are my thoughts.
Is Islam prophesied in the Bible?I remember when I was Muslim, when I use to have debates with Christians, I had all these bible verses I used against Christians to show that Islam was the religion to come after Christianity. Even back then, I always tried to objective and actually listen to what people had to say. And most of the verses which Muslim use to justify their religion, the Christian would come back a solid reply, most of the time. Their replies for the most part were in the realm of conceivable.However there is one prophesy in the bible that Muslims use, I have not heard a solid reply concerning. And I was wondering if anyone has an answer for this prophesy, how should we look at this prophesy in the light of Christianity and the teachings of Jesus."And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation." (Genesis 17:20)The Arabs are descendant of Ishmael. And the Arabs were not made great until Islam came, and they were made a great nation. God also says in this prophesy, that he has blessed him and not curse him.So how do we reply to this? Thanks.
Josephus, Antiquities, Book 1, Chapter 12:http://www.ccel.org/ccel/josephus/works/files/ant-1.htmPre-Islamic: CheckNon-Muslim: Check
Well done, although I have to wonder about Josephus' intentions in making the Arabs the descendants of Ishmael- born of a concubine and rejected.I would love to be the one to tell Islamic Arabs that the only evidence they have that they are descended from Ishmael comes from a 2nd century AD Jewish historian!
Yeah, Bono hasn't done us any favors with his "Coexist" campaign, either.
I thought Bono had the "One" campaign??
"there are many other extraordinary and quite ridiculous things in this book [the Koran] which he boasts was sent down to him from God. But when we ask: 'And who is there to testify that God gave him the book [the Koran]? And which of the prophets foretold that such a prophet would rise up?'—they are at a loss."

Campus Blog
So, is there anything to do in Springfield, Missouri?
January 11th, 2013 | Lauren Simms
Maybe you love the idea of attending Evangel, but you're not so sure about Springfield, Missouri … don't worry, I've heard that one before. This midsize, landlocked city in the middle of the country doesn't sound exactly exciting to everybody. Some people seem to think it's too big; others think it's too small.
As a Springfield native, I happen to think it's just right. And most Evangel students find that no matter what size city you're used to, Springfield has plenty to offer college students — not to mention the friendliest people in the country.
From the lively and artsy downtown district — with lots of trendy shops, coffee houses and dining options — to the parks, lakes and natural beauty of the Ozarks, you can find plenty to do when you don't have your nose buried in your books. This week I'll share with you my "Top 10 Things to do in Springfield." (Check out my next blog, "Top 10 day trips for Evangel students," too!)
1. Springfield Cardinals baseball at Hammons Field. Wear some red, grab a friend and head to the ballpark. Whether you are a baseball fan or just enjoy people watching and eating ballpark hot dogs, Springfield is a great place for minor league baseball. General admission tickets are $6.
2. First Friday Art Walk. The first Friday of each month, you can visit a variety of art galleries in downtown Springfield for free. Some even provide snacks. This event draws crowds of Springfieldians who come out for the culture and entertainment each month. It's a great way to enjoy downtown Springfield, which is really near the Evangel campus.
3. Andy's Frozen Custard. Is ice cream a "thing to do?" you wonder. Well, first, it's not ice cream, it's frozen custard. (They're kind of picky about that.) And second, yes! Andy's is the best frozen custard you will ever eat in your entire life. Enjoy a concrete, malt, sundae or cone with friends. It's an experience. Trust me on this one.
4. Dickerson Park Zoo. With more than 340 animals that represent 160 species, this zoo is a must see during your Springfield stay. I mean, where else can you see an Asian elephant or a Malayan tiger in Springfield? Ticket price: $8.
5. P3 (Paint, Party, Play): On Republic Road, there is a pottery studio with no sitting fee (score!) You pay only for the piece you paint. Spend a Saturday afternoon with friends and transform something white into your own colorful masterpiece. Pottery prices: $7 and up.
6. Pythian Castle: There is a castle right next door to Evangel's campus. Built in 1913 by the Knights of Pythias, it served as an orphanage and senior citizens home. Now, it's a place for comedy nights, special events and historical tours. Ticket price: $7.50.
7. Bass Pro Shops: Even if you're not into the hunting, fishing or boating scene, this is a must-see. Not only is there a waterfall in the middle of the store, there is a shooting range, numerous large aquariums, a live alligator and enough to keep you busy for a couple of hours. Plus, it's free (as long as you don't want to leave with any of the merchandise, of course).
8. Springfield Conservation Nature Center: After eating from the table of desserts in the Caf, you need a place to walk it off. Walk the 3 miles of trails, smell the fresh outdoors, observe deer and other wildlife, and walk the boardwalk over the lake. This beautiful nature walk is free and perfect for getting away from it all.
9. Discovery Center: This hands-on science museum in downtown Springfield isn't just for children on field trips. It's for people of all ages, including us college students. What a great place to experiment and become a kid again. You might even learn something cool! Ticket price: $12.
10. Mediacom Ice Park: Located downtown on Walnut Street, this ice park offers open skating and hockey leagues. Tickets: $6.50 ($4 student ticket plus skate rental).
These are by no means the only things to do in Springfield, but they are my personal Top Ten. Check back next week to read my list for my favorites just outside of the Springfield area.
Want more? There are lots more ideas on the Things to Do page of our website.

Fear of Others Vomiting
Fear of vomiting (also known as emetophobia) can mean fear of vomiting yourself, or fear of other people vomiting. The two are often connected, but not always.
People we have helped fear of vomiting say things like they would avoid hospital dramas on TV just in case a character vomited. Some of them wouldn't fly because someone on the plane might vomit. And as for sailing or fair ground rides - forget it!
Even other people coughing can ring the alarm bell - what if this person is about to vomit?
Fear of others vomiting (in fact any fear) tends to make us avoid situations where the feared experience may arise. So many emetophobes avoid potential pleasures in life such as eating out in restaurants or going for a drink in local pubs or bars.
Replace fear with normal levels of displeasure or disgust
Of course no one enjoys the sight, smell or sound of someone vomiting but a full scale fear response is still totally unwarranted. We can replace fear with normal levels of displeasure coupled with calm and sympathy.
One young emetophobe said that after treatment he felt calm and actually went to help when his sister was subsequently sick.

Starting with the Sencha.io SDK 0.7.5 release, developers are required to migrate their apps to the new http://manage.sencha.io portal. The legacy http://developer.sencha.io portal will be phased out on January 22, 2013 and apps deployed in that portal will stop working after that date. If you are a developer looking to migrate your app to the new portal, make sure to follow these steps:
1) If your app uses the Sencha.io 0.3.x SDK, then you must update your app to use the new Sencha.io 0.7.5 SDK. Note that the Sencha.io APIs have changed. If you are using any existing Sencha.io APIs then you will have to update your code to use the new APIs. The latest API documentation is available at http://docs.sencha.io/. The latest Sencha.io SDK 0.7.5 can be dowloaded from http://download.sencha.io. This new SDK includes support for Sencha Touch 2.1 and Sencha Cmd.
2) Follow the instructions included in http://docs.sencha.io/current/#!/guide/dashboard_apps to create and deploy your Sencha.io app to the new portal.
3) After you deploy your apps to the new portal, Sencha.io automatically generates the public app URL. If you wish to use a custom domain name URL instead, follow the CNAME instructions included in http://docs.sencha.io/current/#!/guide/dashboard_apps_cname
Note: you may also need to delete your ".sencha.io" cookies in order to be able to login to the new portal.
If you require support, feel free to email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you don't get any runs you're not going to win. Nothing gets by be. You have to write it off as one of those things.
No game today, which gives Pedro Martinez an extra day of rest. It couldn't hurt.
Frankly, I'm a little bit worried about Martinez. It's just not there for him with his fastball. He says he doesn't care about velocity, but if I can outrun the pitches to the plate there's a problem.
Should the playoffs start tomorrow, would Martinez be in the rotation? Performance and his physical questions say no. His experience and the hope to lightning in a bottle says yes.

What will we do with her?
She's just…
It's like trying to mold concrete.
Jessica Simpson was out on 2 occasions this weekend – first at a gala in support of Operation Smile and then in Vegas with sister Ashlee to celebrate Pete Wentz's birthday.
She attended the charity benefit with her main gay Ken Paves and her parents. On the surface, you think that she managed to make it through the night without screwing up, right?
That vest is unremarkable but not totally offensive, those pants are terribly unflattering but whatever, it's not her worse showing ever and then…
When she turns around…
From behind…
Those are white, right?
She even f-cks up her underwear.
And then the next day, having to suffer through posing beside her anorexic skinny bitch sister, Poor Porny wrapped herself in a see-through muumuu over some kind of high waist bikini that is making Jacek shudder in horror.
Oh Porns…why won't you call me?

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols, dual-licensed under the OpenSSL and the SSLeay licenses. It is supported on a variety of platforms, including BSD, Linux, OpenVMS, Solaris and Windows. It is designed to be as flexible as possible, and is free to use for both personal and commercial uses. It is based on the earlier SSLeay library. Version 1.0.0 of OpenSSL was released on March 29, 2010.

SSL introduction
In order to focus on setting up a SSL/TLS solution, rather than explaining the bare basics regarding the subject, the approach used throughout the article to explain SSL concepts is by and large file-oriented.
Consult both Wikipedia:Certificate authority and Wikipedia:Public key infrastructure for more information.
Certificate authorities return certificates from end-user requests. In order to do this, the returned end-user certificate is signed with the CA private key and CA certificate, which in turn contains the CA public key. CA also distribute certificate revocation lists (CRL) which tell the end-user what certificates are no longer valid, and when the next CRL is due.
CA private key
The CA private key is the crucial part of the trifecta. Exposing it would defeat the purpose of designating a central authority that validates and revokes permissions, and at the same time, it is the signed counter part to the CA public key used to certify against the CA certificate. An exposed CA private key could allow an attacker to replicate the CA certificate since the CA private key signature is embedded in the CA certificate itself.
CA certificate and public key
These are distributed in a single file to all end-users. They are used to certify other end-user certificates that claimed to be signed by the matching CA, such as mail servers or websites.
End-users submit certificate requests to the CA which contain a distinguished name (DN). Normally, CA do not allow more than one valid certificate with the same DN without revoking the previous one. End-user certificates may be revoked if they are not renewed when due, among other reasons.
End-user generated key
End-users generate keys in order to sign certificate requests that are submitted to the CA. As with the CA private key, an exposed user-key could facilitate impersonating the user to the point where an attacker could submit a request under the user's name, resulting in the CA revoking the former, legitimate, user certificate.
Certificate requests
These contain the user's DN and public key. As their name implies, they fully represent the initial part of the process of acquiring certification from a CA.
End-user certificate
The main distinction between an end-user certificate and CA certificate is that end-user ones cannot sign certificates themselves; they merely provide means of identification in exchanges of information.
Certificate revocation list (CRL)
CRLs are also signed with the CA key, but they only dictate information regarding end-user certificates. Usually, a 30 day span is given between new CRL submissions.
The OpenSSL configuration file, conventionally placed in
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, may appear complicated at first. This isn't remedied by the fact that there's no include directive to split configuration into a modal setup. Nevertheless, this section covers the essential settings.
Remember that variables may be expanded in assignments, much like how shell scripts work. For a more thorough explanation of the configuration file format, see config(5). In some operating systems, this man page is named openssl-config or config(5ssl). Sometimes, it may not even be available through the man hierarchy at all, for example, it may be placed in the following location
Global variables
These settings are relevant in all sections. For that to happen, they can not be specified under a section header:
DIR= . # Useful macro for populating real vars. RANDFILE= ${DIR}/private/.rnd # Entropy source. default_md= sha1 # Default message digest.
ca section
These settings are used when signing CRLs, and signing and revoking certificates. Users that only want to generate requests can safely skip to the #req section.
[ ca ] default_ca= dft_ca # Configuration files may have more than one CA # section for different scenarios. [ dft_ca ] certificate= ${DIR}/cacert.pem # The CA certificate. database= ${DIR}/index.txt # Keeps tracks of valid/revoked certs. new_certs_dir= ${DIR}/newcerts # Copies of signed certificates, for # administrative purposes. private_key= ${DIR}/private/cakey.pem # The CA key. serial= ${DIR}/serial # Should be populated with the next # cert hex serial. # These govern the way certificates are displayed while confirming # the signing process. name_opt= ca_default cert_opt= ca_default default_days= 365 # How long to sign certificates for. default_crl_days=30 # The same, but for CRL. policy= dft_policy # The default policy should be lenient. x509_extensions=cert_v3 # For v3 certificates. [ dft_policy ] # A value of 'supplied' means the field must be present in the certificate, # whereas 'match' means the field must be populated with the same contents as # the CA certificate. 'optional' dictates that the field is entirely optional. C= supplied # Country ST= supplied # State or province L= optional # Locality O= supplied # Organization OU= optional # Organizational unit CN= supplied # Common name [ cert_v3 ] # With the exception of 'CA:FALSE', there are PKIX recommendations for end-user # certificates that should not be able to sign other certificates. # 'CA:FALSE' is explicitely set because some software will malfunction without. subjectKeyIdentifier= hash basicConstraints= CA:FALSE keyUsage= nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment nsCertType= client, email nsComment= "OpenSSL Generated Certificate" authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always
req section
Settings related to generating keys, requests and self-signed certificates.
The req section is responsible for the DN prompts. A general misconception is the Common Name (CN) prompt, which suggests that it should have the user's proper name as a value. End-user certificates need to have the machine hostname as CN, whereas CA should not have a valid TLD, so that there's no chance that, between the possible combinations of certified end-users' CN and the CA certificate's, there's a match that could be misinterpreted by some software as meaning that the end-user certificate is self-signed. Some CA certificates do not even have a CN, such as Equifax:
# subject= /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority openssl x509 -subject -noout < /etc/ssl/certs/Equifax_Secure_CA.pem
Even though splitting the files isn't strictly necessary to normal functioning, it is very confusing to handle request generation and CA administration from the same configuration file, so it is advised to follow the convention of clearly separating the settings into two
cnf files and into two containing directories.
Here are the settings that are common to both tasks:
[ req ] # Default bit encryption and out file for generated keys. default_bits= 1024 default_keyfile=private/cakey.pem string_mask= utf8only # Only allow utf8 strings in request/ca fields. prompt= no # Do not prompt for field value confirmation.
CA req settings
The settings should produce a standard CA capable of only singing other certificates:
distinguished_name=ca_dn # Distinguished name contents. x509_extensions=ca_v3 # For generating ca certificates. [ ca_dn ] # CN isn't needed for CA certificates C= US ST= New Jersey O= localdomain [ ca_v3 ] subjectKeyIdentifier= hash # PKIX says this should also contain the 'crucial' value, yet some programs # have trouble handling it. basicConstraints= CA:TRUE keyUsage= cRLSign, keyCertSign nsCertType= sslCA nsComment= "OpenSSL Generated CA Certificate" authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always
End-user req settings
Makes a v3 request suitable for most circumstances:
distinguished_name=ca_dn # Distinguished name contents. req_extensions=req_v3 # For generating ca certificates. [ ca_dn ] C= US ST= New Jersey O= localdomain CN= localhost [ req_v3 ] basicConstraints= CA:FALSE keyUsage= nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
GOST engine support
First, be sure that libgost.so exist on your system
pacman -Ql openssl | grep libgost
In case everything is fine, add the following lines to the config:
openssl_conf = openssl_def # this must be a top-level declaration
Put the following lines in the end of the document:
[ openssl_def ] engines = engine_section [ engine_section ] gost = gost_section [ gost_section ] engine_id = gost soft_load = 1 dynamic_path = /usr/lib/engines/libgost.so default_algorithms = ALL CRYPT_PARAMS = id-Gost28147-89-CryptoPro-A-ParamSet
The official README.gost should contain more examples on this.
Generating keys
Before generating the key, make a secure directory to host it:
mkdir -m0700 private
Followed by preemptively assigning secure permissions for the key itself:
touch private/key.pem chmod 0600 private/key.pem
An example
genpkey key generation:
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private/key.pem
If an encrypted key is desired, use the following command and remember to enter EOF, usually
D, to indicate the end of the password string:
openssl genpkey -pass stdin -algorithm RSA -out private/key.pem
Making requests
To obtain a certificate from a CA, whether it be a public one such as CAcert.org, or a locally managed solution, a request file must be delivered to the CA, and these are conventionally called
csr files.
Make a new request and sign it with a previously generated key:
openssl req -new -key private/key.pem -out req.csr
Signing certificates
Covers the process of local CA signing: directly self-signed certificates or through a local CA.
Self-signed certificate
A significant amount of programs will not work with self-signed certificates, and maintaining more than one system with self-signed certificates is more trouble than investing the initial effort in setting up a certificate authority.
If a key was already generated as explained before, use this command to sign the new certificate with the aforementioned key:
openssl req -key private/key.pem -x509 -new -days 3650 -out cacert.pem
The method shown in this section is mostly meant to show how signing works; it is not suited for large deployments that need to automate signing a large number of certificates. Consider installing an SSL server for that purpose.
Before using the Makefile, make a configuration file according to #Configuring. Be sure to follow instructions relevant to CA administration; not request generation.
Saving the file as
Makefile and issuing

Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris
One of the most innovative and influential artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) was at his most inventive between 1905 and 1945. The Philadelphia Museum of Art presented Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris (February 24 - April 25, 2010) surveying Picasso's remarkable output during these years, from the pioneering role he played in the development of Cubism to his dialogue with Surrealism and other important art movements in the 1920s and 1930s. The exhibition also explored the pivotal role that the city of Paris played in the history of modern art, where artists from around the world made the French capital a center of innovation. It included nearly 200 paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, and many others, who collectively formed a vibrant, international avant-garde group that became known as the School of Paris.
Drawn from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's extraordinary collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings by Picasso, and supplemented with loans from private American collections, this exhibition provided a unique opportunity to re-examine the remarkable burst of creativity that took place during one of the most revolutionary periods in the history of Western art. It includes a number of important works on paper, including collages which are rarely on display due to their inherent fragility and sensitivity to light, as well as important paintings that have not been on view in recent decades.
Among the major works in the exhibition were Picasso's bold
Self-Portrait with Palette (1906)
and Three Musicians, (1921), a grand summation of the artist's almost decade-long exploration of Synthetic Cubism,
Léger's monumental Cubist masterpiece The City (1919),
Jean Metzinger's Tea Time (Woman with a Teaspoon) (1911), known in its day as "The Mona Lisa of Cubism,"
Juan Gris's Still Life Before an Open Window, Place Ravignan,
which reveals the artist at the height of his powers, expertly balancing lyricism and geometric rigor in a composition of evocative spatial juxtapositions and luxurious color,
and Marc Chagall's lyrical and kaleidoscopic Half Past Three (The Poet) (1911).
In the spring of 1904, when the twenty-three year-old Picasso made the decision to move permanently to Paris, he had already established a reputation in his native Spain as a painter of exceptional ability. He plunged into the city's bohemian community, soon establishing what would become lifelong friendships with a number of fellow artists and writers, including the French painter Georges Braque who would become his close collaborator in the development of Cubism. The exhibition will be chronologically arranged in order to show the rapid evolution of Picasso's art during his time in Paris, starting with his early Self-Portrait with Palette (1906) in which the young painter unabashedly proclaims his artistic mastery. The next gallery will highlight the lively interchange between Picasso and Braque between 1910 and 1913, when they developed a shared vocabulary of grid-like scaffolding, overlapping planes, and a reduced palette of beige, ocher, white, and gray that marked the beginning of Cubism, as seen in
Braque's Still Life (Violin)
and Picasso's Man with a Guitar, both of 1912.
"Cubism represented a seismic shift in the way visual artists depicted the world around them," said Michael Taylor, the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, who organized the exhibition. "Forms were flattened, dissected and recomposed into various essential shapes and lines that were shown from multiple angles and viewpoints. No longer was pictorial fidelity to the natural world considered paramount to a painting's success, as artists were now free to engage in a profound imaginative reordering of reality."
Although Picasso and Braque invented the new pictorial language of Cubism, with its flattened forms and multiple perspectives, artists such as Juan Gris and Fernand Léger soon made significant contributions of their own, especially to the development of what has come to be known as 'Synthetic' Cubism. One of the highlights of the exhibition will be a partial re-creation of the 1912 Salon d'Automne, where paintings by Gris, Albert Gleizes, and Metzinger were densely hung and interspersed with sculptures by Amedeo Modigliani, Jacques Lipchitz, and Raymond Duchamp-Villon.
A section of the exhibition titled "Americans in Paris" dealt with the numerous expatriates—among them the painters Max Weber, Charles Demuth, and Arthur Beecher Carles—who made their home in Paris and sought inspiration in the atmosphere of artistic and intellectual ferment that flourished in the years between the two World Wars. The installation also includes a selection of photographic portraits of the poets, writers, musicians, and performers who were a part of this eclectic circle, including Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Josephine Baker.
The exhibition further chronicled Cubism's persistence and adaptations during the war years, and Picasso's return to figuration in his neo-classical works of the early 1920s, a direction echoed more broadly in the work of many artists at this time that moved toward more traditional subject matter and techniques. Picasso's experiments in Cubism were also an essential precursor to the development of Surrealism and the work of artists such as Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí who came to prominence in the 1920s.
Picasso maintained a complex relationship with this hugely influential movement, developing his own independent variant of Surrealism in paintings such as
Bullfight (1934)
and Head of a Woman (1937-38). The exhibition also considers the role of Eastern European artists who joined the thriving modern art scene in Paris, among them Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, and Constantin Brancusi.
The onset of civil war in his native Spain, and the approach of the World War II, laid the groundwork for the increasingly dark and political content of Picasso's later works. He remained in Paris for the duration of these conflicts and continued to be productive, despite the scarcity of art supplies.
The works he created in the late 1930s and early 1940s are often somber in mood, as seen in the austere
Chair with Gladiolas (1943)
and in the melancholy still lives which feature human skulls in a macabre pun on the French term for still life, nature morte.
His magnificent sculpture Man with a Lamb (1943-44) references the themes of sacrifice and redemption that were also explored by
Jacques Lipchitz in works like The Prayer of 1943.
Through the dramatic shifts in style and technique that marked these tumultuous years, Picasso continued to be a galvanizing force and an inspiration to the artists around him. The exhibition demonstrates the tremendous variety and consistently high quality of his work during this period, and brings to life the extraordinary atmosphere of early 20th century Paris and the lasting significance of the art created at this time.
The exhibition was accompanied by an online catalogue that includes all the works from the Museum's permanent collection, and is available at: www.philamuseum.org.

Micro Focus has released a new iteration of its 'Silk' application-testing suite incorporating the SilkPerformer, SilkTest, and SilkCentral Test Manager (SCTM) 2010 R2 products. The company is aiming to give software testers and QA professionals a route to what it calls 'goal-based' testing, configuration testing, and extended support for an improved configuration suite.
SilkCentral Test Manager 2010 R2 will try and win developers with its new capabilities for visibility and control over testing environments, starting with a new goal-based test management system that focuses resources on the areas most sensitive for quality, allowing software teams to make risk-driven decisions. Making goal-based testing more powerful are facilities to manage and track the results of configuration tests across complex application environment combinations.
Micro Focus' code coverage analysis, which has been extended from Java to .NET, is intended to provide a goal-based measure of how effective tests are in covering the system. Additionally, new test execution video capture provides insight into what happens during tests, including analyzing the speed at which a test is resolved across different internet browsers.
"It is hard to overstate the importance software testing has to the smooth running of a business. If applications fail, it costs organizations valuable time and money to fix the resulting problems. The Silk product line ensures that software is comprehensively tested and delivered to the highest quality standards, producing better applications in a faster timeframe," said Richard Novak, president of Micro Focus' application management and quality division.
SilkTest 2010 R2 adds support for Adobe Flash Version 4.x, as well as Java AWT/Swing and offers Micro Focus WorkBench enhancements including a visual testing approach that requires no coding. The new version of SilkPerformer includes improved AJAX load-testing capabilities and extended support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Citrix Online plug-in 12, Citrix Web Interface 5.3., Flex 4, and OpenSSL 1.0.0.a.

text: . This stripped-down locomotive under repair began life as a British static (i.e. unpowered) model kit that I found in a hobby shop in Oxford, England. Once home, I removed many of its more characteristically English details, such as its domes, replacing them with Kemtron brass ones, and adding other fine details, such as the delicate handrails and airhoses. The locomotive, which makes a fine point of interest when placed near the edge of the layout so visitors can see its details, was airbrushed and heavily weathered using artist's chalks. Finally a bucket and some other details were added. For years it sat just at the entrance of the repair shed in the Glanville Lumber Company engine yards, but now it's time to find it a new home.

CLEANING YORK FAQs
This page is devoted to
answering many of the questions which we are frequently asked
How soon can I get a
cleaner? We endeavour to get you a cleaner started within
a week of meeting you, but this can depend to a great extent as to
where you live and how many hours you would require. Obviously
if you live in a remote spot it can be more difficult to provide you
quickly with a cleaner, even more so if you only wanted the minimum
amount of hours because it may not be worth the cleaner travelling.
In such exceptional cases we may have to suggest that the
client either pays the cleaner slightly more, or alternatively
petrol money be given to them because of their remoteness.
Will it be worth the
cleaners while travelling all the way to me at Goathland? (for
example) Yes it most certainly would be as all our
cleaners are local to their clients. We cover a wide area and
have a large selection of domestic cleaners throughout the region from
Whitby to Bridlington and across to York.
Do I have to provide the
cleaning materials? The answer to this is yes, this is
because everyone prefers different smells, different cleaning
products etc.
Are your cleaners
covered for breakages? Yes they are, but there is an
excess of £100, so obviously it doesn't cover minor breakages.
Do I get the same
cleaner each week? Yes the cleaner we allocate to you,
will be your regular weekly cleaner.
Do I have to have the
cleaner you send me? No, we are always willing to change
the cleaner, this is one of the reasons for you meeting the cleaner
before they start to make sure you gel with each other.
What if my cleaner is
off work one week? We endeavour to cover for illness or
holidays within 72 hours of being notified of the cleaners absence,
but obviously the more remote the client is the more difficult this
becomes for us. Also we find that most clients prefer not to
have a replacement for the sake of a week or so because their
regular cleaner knows the routine of their property, where as
a relief cleaner wouldn't, so they feel it can be more trouble than
its worth.
How much notice would
you require from us to cancel the agency agreement? We require a
month's notice in writing from you to cancel the agency agreement.
Alternatively if we wished to cancel the agency agreement we would be
obliged to give you a months notice in writing also.
How much do you charge?
rates are only £11.95 per hour for a regular weekly clean within the
North East Yorkshire and York area. We do although have different rates for one off house
cleans. Agencies up and down the country do set there own
rates and these may vary from those of ours, for details of local
charges in your area please use this link to the UK
Branches page and click on your area to discover your
local rate.

Anyway, the tip-top picture was part of the Christmas Day "tea." We made blinis, added salmon, and put the "extras in martini glasses: sour cream, dill, green onions, capers.
I don't know if I've ever told you about my secret diet weapon--Walden Farms dressings. Zero calories, zero carbs, zero fat. Lots of taste. I am not their spokesperson, but Mister says he'll take the job. I love the bacon dressing, but I also like the honey mustard.
This is a savory pie (onion, garlic, mushrooms, and spinach in puff pastry). I discovered the recipe on Once In A Blue Moon. I used the frozen puff pastry sheets and just ran a rolling pin over them, with a bit of flour. I have ordered a lattice pie cutting tool to make a gorgeous top layer. Everyone agreed that this was the hit of the holiday season. Thanks, Once in a Blue Moon!
And here are the chocolate mice. Let me just say, they were a challenge, and not the SNAP I thought they'd be. Huh.
My Christmas mice were plentiful; but they all had unibrows. So I used Red Hots for their eyes,and now they look like the mice from a Steve King novel. Next time I need to find my pastry bags.
This was a tomato basil sauce that got out of hand. It was supposed to have a cream sauce, but Young Bandwith Gollum brought home Cool Whip rather than heavy whipping cream. I tried to repair it as best I could. Dr. G and Young G told me that it was hearty and good. Which just goes to show that a good recipe is hard to destroy.
I'll be around blogville, just in a diminished form.

Everything you need to know about Development Approvals in Victoria.
How to prepare, lodge and even fast track your DA in Victoria. All you need to know will appear here shortly but in the meantime read below for details on Victoria's moves to accelerate approvals: (taken from http://archive.premier.vic.gov.au/your-voice/statement-of-government-intentions/victorias-plan-to-accelerate-development.html)
The Government is improving the way planning assessments are conducted to ensure decisions are made in a more timely way. Both proponents and objectors to developments benefit if the process is open, transparent and prompt.
The overall goal is to manage Victoria's growth while protecting its liveability.
3.1 Major Transport Projects
Historically, the planning and environmental approvals regime has proven to be complex in the context of major transport projects, in some cases resulting in delays and increased project costs.
In 2009, the Government will introduce the Major Transport Projects Facilitation Bill to respond to community interest in seeing transport projects delivered faster, while continuing to allow interested parties to have their say. By having different processes running in parallel, the overall time taken to approve projects will be reduced.
The Government will also consult with stakeholders about the similar problems that arise for other major projects and will identify opportunities to streamline these approval processes.
Main elements:
facilitate faster delivery of major transport projects, including a suite of appropriate delivery powers;
establish a separate one-stop-shop assessment and approval regime for major transport projects in Victoria, with appropriate planning and environmental safeguards; and
reduce duplication of approval processes to reduce delays, provide greater time and cost certainty, and reduce risk for investors, developers and government while maintaining regulatory standards.
Responsible Ministers: Public Transport; Roads and Ports; Planning; Environment and Climate Change; Major Projects.
3.2 Planning Legislation Reform
The Government's review of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 focuses on administrative measures and simplifying procedures. In the past 20 years, there have been significant social, environmental and economic changes that have implications for the planning system. The Government wants to ensure the Act responds to contemporary planning issues and simplifies the current laws and language.
The review of this Act is part of the Government's broader agenda to manage growth and protect liveability. The review also responds to the recommendation in the Cutting Red Tape in Planning report to restructure the State Planning Policy Framework.
An expert panel appointed in October 2008 will work closely with Government agencies and stakeholders. A discussion paper developed with ideas and options for the amendment of the Act will form the basis of ongoing development.
Main elements:
improvement of the system to provide greater certainty and efficiency in planning processes;
improvement of the Act to more effectively meet Victoria's planning challenges into the future;
modernisation of the language in the Act; and
issues arising from the Blueprint for Regional Growth concerning planning for regional areas (see section 13.3).
Related process:
The release of the discussion paper will be followed by consultation with stakeholders, including the planning profession, local government, the development industry and the broader community.
Existing legislation in this area:
Planning and Environment Act 1987.
Responsible Ministers: Planning; Community Development.
3.3 Property Law Reform
The system for creating, registering and transferring interests in land is a fundamental part of Victoria's economic and social infrastructure. The Property Law Act 1958 and the Transfer of Land Act 1958 govern land ownership in Victoria. However, parts of the Acts are now outdated, redundant or unnecessarily complex.
The Government will simplify and modernise these laws to benefit all in the community who are affected, including homeowners, property developers, investors and financial institutions. In 2009 the Government will review the legislation, consult with the community and identify options for reform.
Victoria is the only State with an operational electronic conveyancing system. During 2009, Victoria will support the efforts of COAG to deliver a national system to maximise the benefits for the property and banking industries.
Responsible Ministers: Attorney-General; Environment and Climate Change.
3.4 VCEC Inquiry on Environmental Regulation
The Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission (VCEC) is expected to deliver its final report on environmental regulation in mid 2009. As part of this inquiry, VCEC will identify opportunities for Victoria to maintain its leadership in this area and will consider ways in which the regulations can be improved to meet the future challenges of environmental sustainability and a carbon-constrained economy. The Government will consider further reforms to environmental regulation in response to the report.
Responsible Ministers: Treasurer; Environment and Climate Change.
3.5 National Environmental and Development Approvals Reform
COAG has reached a series of agreements on streamlining environmental assessments and development approvals. As a result, the Victorian Government will review the environmental assessment and approvals processes under the Environment Protection Act 1970, the Heritage Act 1995, and Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 to start implementing these agreements.
Greater certainty and efficiency for the development and construction sector will be provided by reducing regulatory burdens and delays. Amendments will be made to development legislation where necessary to implement these COAG agreements.
Responsible Ministers: Planning; Environment and Climate Change.
Please let us know your feedback on the 2009 Statement of Government Intentions.

A Spartanburg woman accused in a fatal hit-and-run has been denied bond a second time.
A Spartanburg woman accused in a fatal hit-and-run has been denied bond a second time.
Colleen Adaire Casey, 25, was charged last month with leaving the scene of an accident involving death. According to prosecutors and her defense attorney, Casey knew the victim, Jacquelyn Cara White, 23, of Spartanburg.
White was hit by a car near Lake Forest and Torino drives in the early morning hours of April 22. She was pronounced dead at 5:21 a.m.
The following day, Judge James Ashmore denied bond for Casey at the request of 7th Circuit Solicitor Barry Barnette.
On May 9, Casey appeared before Circuit Court Judge Derham Cole. Her attorney, Brendan Delaney, asked Cole to grant bail until Casey is tried. On Tuesday, Cole denied the motion.
According to Cole's order, if circumstances change, or if Casey's case is not scheduled for trial and disposed of within 180 days, she can ask the court to reconsider the denial of bond.
Earlier this month, Barnette said Casey left the scene of the crash, and there was an attempt to cover up the incident.
Delaney, Casey's attorney, previously said his client was driving in the dark, came to a winding, wooded area and hit something. Delaney said Casey did not know what she hit and continued driving. She later returned to the scene with her boyfriend, Kevin Miller, and discovered that she had hit her best friend, became "hysterical" and left, the attorney said.
Someone dialed 911 at 4:21 a.m. that morning, and Casey and Miller could be heard talking, but dispatchers were unable to communicate with Casey and Miller, Barnette told Cole during the hearing.
The Herald-Journal obtained a recording of that call, during which Casey can be heard talking hysterically to Miller. During the call, Miller said, "Why did you not stop? You gotta stop drinking and driving."
"I was so scared," Casey replied.
Later during the call, as Casey continued to scream and cry, Miller raises his voice and tells her to calm down.
"You've got to calm down or you will go to jail, and there's nothing I can do to help you," Miller can be heard saying.
In another part of the 15-minute call, Casey said, "Slow down, slow down."
Miller replies, "Where?" and Casey responds, "Right in here somewhere."
At 4:29 a.m., Miller called 911 from the side of the road where White was found. He identified himself and told dispatchers that he had been driving in the area and "saw something" on the side of the road. Miller said in the call that he shined a light on the object and it appeared to be a young woman.
Miller pumped White's chest, trying to revive her, as he stayed on the phone with dispatchers and waited for emergency workers to respond.
The 4:29 a.m. call Miller made can be heard as part of the recording of the 4:21 a.m. call, as apparently, that cell phone had still not been disconnected during the original call. No one else has been charged in the incident.
Barnette was not the only one who asked that Casey be denied bond. Jackie White's brother, Thomas White III, spoke at both hearings. White told the judges that Casey's actions demonstrated a lack of respect for the law, and said she was a danger to the community.
Spartanburg County Deputy Coroner Randy Bogan said Thursday that the agency is waiting on toxicology results from the S.C. Law Enforcement Division. Those results will be considered, along with findings from White's autopsy, to determine her cause of death.

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) addresses a student's right to privacy for their educational records.
What is "FERPA"?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a federal law which is designed to protect the privacy of and limit access to the education records of students.
At the post-secondary level, parents, guardians, and other individuals associated with a student are not automatically granted access to the student's education records. Regardless of the student's age, all rights and responsibilities associated with a student's education records transfer from the parent or guardian to the student when the student begins attendance at a post-secondary institution (such as the University of Hartford), even if the parent or guardian is paying for the student's education. Therefore, according to federal law, we may not discuss certain aspects of a student's education record with a parent, guardian or other third party unless consent is granted by the student.
FERPA identifies the following privacy rights of students:
- The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access.
Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of an academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct person to whom the request should be addressed.
- The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate.
Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify the inaccuracy.
If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
- The right to have some control over disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to University officials with legitimate educational interests. A University official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position, including law enforcement personnel and health staff; a person or company with whom the University has contracted, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent; a person serving on the board of regents; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her task.
A University official has a legitimate educational interest if he/she needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
The Act allows the University to issue "directory information." Each institution defines directory information which may include name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, major field of study, and similar information. Any student objecting to the release of directory information should bring this to the attention of the registrar. Upon written notification, the directory information will be withheld.
- The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA are Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605.

Confidentiality of Student Records - FERPA
The following is intended to give an overview of FERPA. Please contact the Registrar's Office with any questions or for more detailed information.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 helps protect the privacy of student education records. Generally, education records are anything where the student can be identified and are maintained by the University. It does not include private notes held by advisors which are not accessible to other personnel or, for alumni, records obtained after graduation. The Act provides students the right to inspect and review education records, the right to seek to amend those records, and the right to limit disclosure of information from the records. The intent of the legislation is to protect the rights of students and to ensure the privacy and accuracy of education records. The Act applies to all institutions that are recipients of federal aid administered by the Secretary of Education. All students and alumni are covered by this Act.
Directory information may be disclosed under FERPA subject to requests for non-disclosure by the student. Directory information includes: name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, class standing, previous institutions attended, major field of study, awards, honors, degree(s) conferred (including dates), past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities, physical factors (such as height and weight of athletes), date and place of birth, e-mail address, photographs or other visual images. Note that a student's schedule is not directory information. If a student has requested non-disclosure of directory information, their information will be marked as CONFIDENTIAL when viewed in the Self Service Center of Banner. Even in these cases, University employees with a need to know are allowed access to this information.
There are certain individuals who are entitled to view a student's academic record under FERPA without written permission of the student. Any university employee, or student serving on a university committee or assisting a university employee, may view a student's academic record if there is a legitimate educational interest. In other words, the information obtained is needed by an employee to perform their appropriate tasks or assigned responsibilities. This right does not extend to sharing this information with a third party, with some exceptions including a health or safety emergency, subpoena, etc. Parents of a dependent child may have access to student information without a student's consent if they supply the university with a certified copy of their most recent federal tax return showing the student's dependent status. A release of this type must be recorded and kept with the educational record. This release record will include what exactly was released, to whom the information was released, and why it was released.
A student may sign a waiver of their FERPA rights on-line through the Self-Service Center at any time. This waiver authorizes the release of academic records to the individuals identified by the student. While a FERPA waiver permits the release of information to parents, it does not compel the release of information. Advisors may use their discretion as to when the release of information would not be warranted.

4 out of 4 stars
Share This Review
In All Things by Marta Curti is a literary fiction novel with whimsical aspects about a woman's journey to feel grounded, find love, and a safe place for her son to grow up. Themes include: filling emptiness, spirituality, miracles, wings and feathers, secrets, and self-realization.
Penny Rose, a product of the foster care system, feels unlovable, disconnected, and filled with self-doubt. As an adult she desperately searches to find a connection after years of neglect and verbal abuse. Her heart opens after she finds out she is pregnant and capable of loving a tiny version of herself. During her pregnancy, she creates strong bonds and becomes part of the community, making her own family out of friends. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes in the form of a deadly illness and she must race against time to find a family suitable to raise her son.
The writing is stunning and lyrical with a poetic flow to the entire novel. Woven into the story is a skillful application of symbolism (especially surrounding birds, trees, heartbeats, nature, etc.,) used to maximize the artistic tone and heighten the depth of literary quality. Curti created a masterpiece of spirituality, finding beauty in tragedy, and the joy of connection. The whimsical nature of the novel stands out in the way the story unfolds using non-linear chronology but feels completely organic. The time jumps are always anchored with a sense memory that helps keep it cohesively embedded within the confines of the story.
Curti uses first person and third person point of view throughout the novel. It was an effective way to get around the limitations of first person narration, while still allowing the reader to maintain an intimate relationship with the characters. The brief moments of omniscience deepened the story and overall message; the shifts were subtly done and at times difficult to notice.
A lot of wisdom and philosophical musings are shared within the pages of this novel. The most poignant is death is not the problem, it's the people that are left behind. In All Things is beautifully crafted and an all encompassing read. The senses are engaged at every turn and the descriptions are unique, leaving the reader tingling with recognition.
The criticisms about the book are minor and mainly concern plot-holes. Penny's identity seems to be a mystery even to the reader. Her facial features, hair color, eyes, and race are all missing, which made it difficult to picture what she looked like. This could be because the focus was more on her feelings of self rather than her actual appearance. Ethnicity and race are used to only point out minorities without first establishing what Penny's race is or why the ethnicities mattered in relation to her. The other issue is a side character's ability to jump from teen dropout to educator, which felt forced and rushed, taking the reader out of this stunning magical world and making them compare it to real-world expectations. This was a brief side trip and did not take away from the overall story.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I enjoyed this book so much I read it twice. The first time I was in awe of the writing style and had a difficult time noting the technical aspects of the writing. I became completely submerged in this book and had a hard time articulating exactly what made it so engrossing, breathtaking, enchanting, authentic, and visceral. The second time I read it I was able to pay more attention to all the fine details that make this novel successful. The book is substantial; there is a lot to mull over, analyze, and discuss, which makes it a perfect book club selection. Warning to sensitive readers: this book does contain many forms of abuse and sexual violence. It is not told graphically but it is scattered throughout the book.

Patriarch Serge of all Antartica and outer Oceans
How about Patriarch of Atlantis and all undersea kingdoms!
Congradulations Serge. But since there is no apostolic succession here, that makes you a vagante.
Patriarch of Guinness brewery would be appropriate, though one can argue he's too English to be permitted the post. And despite what that cup--styrofoam is it?--of what I presume to be vodka may lead us to believe, I'm sure he'll stay true to the use of the traditional glass with its trademark harp, rather than replace them, issuing plastic or styrofoam receptacles.
