COLFAX — The schedule doesn't get any easier this Friday, when the Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawks' football team heads to Mount Ayr to take on one of the toughest Class 2A teams in the state.
Mount Ayr quarterback Jacob Sobotka will be a difficult test for the young Tigerhawk defense. The all-district passer and rusher for the Raiders is an obstacle that C-M coach Jeff Lietz is not entirely all that eager to solve.
"It's going to be a big challenge for us," he said. "He's really a horse. He's going to run the ball well and come right at us."
Lietz has a gameplan in mind for the Raiders' offense, and he hopes to turn them into more of a one-dimensional threat.
"We know they're going to try to run," he said. "We've got to try to get some run blitzes going at them, blitz the gaps. We need to get them more into a passing offense, which is where I feel like we can force them into some mistakes."
Contrary to what Lietz has been running in the first three games, he needs his offense to keep the Raiders' scoring unit off the field. The Tigerhawks will somewhat abandon their fast-paced, no-huddle scheme and get into more time-consuming drives.
"We need to try to slow the game down," Lietz said. "Our best bet is to keep their offense of the field. So, we're going to do less no-huddle stuff and try to establish some other parts of our offense. We have a few wrinkles that we're looking to throw in there also."
After what had been a very hot start to the 2013 season,The Tigerhawks were dealt a tough hand to start district play.
The Bulldogs came into Colfax carrying with them plenty of senior experience to counteract the youth of the Tigerhawks, and according to Lietz, that was the main deciding factor in their defeat of C-M. Van Meter came away with a 67-19 victory on the road.
Things did not go right from the opening kickoff for the Tigerhawks, as Van Meter sophomore Grant Gordon ran it back 80 yards for a very quick touchdown. The Tigerhawks proceeded to turn the ball over to the Bulldogs, who capitalized by punching it in yet again.
Down 14-0 with the ball on their own 36-yard line, sophomore quarterback Jared Myers connected on a strike to junior receiver Sam Smith that went all the way for the score, but the play was nullified due to offsetting penalties. The Tigerhawks would later punt.
Van Meter would drive the ball down for another touchdown after a quarterback draw by senior Brandon Brittain. On the next Colfax-Mingo possession, the Tigerhawks were pushed back to their own end zone. On fourth down, the ball was snapped high, forcing the punter to dive on the football at around the five-yard line. Brittain would punch that in to put Van Meter ahead, 27-0.
"Things just went badly for us from the start," Lietz said. "They had that quick kickoff on us, and when you get down big early with an inexperienced team, it's tough for them to kind of pull themselves up by their bootstraps and not dig into a deeper hole. It was just hard for our guys to recover.
The Tigerhawks would punch in a touchdown on an 18-yard pass over the middle to sophomore Colun Lourens, but that would be the extent of the first half scoring for C-M, and Van Meter would continue to pile on points.
"They were just the better team. Our attitude has got to be just for the guys to keep their heads up and get rid of the loss," Lietz said. "We can't dwell on it, just move on."
Myers was the leading rusher in the game for C-M with 74 yards on 16 carries. He was also 11-for-27 throwing the football for 89 yards and a touchdown. Gabe Simpson had two carries for 70 yards. Jake Lietz carried the ball four times for 11 yards. Smith had eight yards on three carries.
Lietz led the Tigerhawks with 25 yards receiving on three catches. Blake Summy had four catches for 23 yards. Smith had two catches for 21 yards. Lourens had the aforementioned 18-yard touchdown as his only reception.
Lietz led the Tigwehawks' defense with 11 tackles. Smith and Nate Smith each had nine tackles. Myers picked up six tackles from his defensive back position. Jake Buehrer had five tackles. Chris Warner, Time Blood, Kyle Breen and Clayton Brown had four tackles apiece.
Sam Smith had an interception. Lourens and Warner each recovered fumbles for C-M.

I get many calls these days about people caretaking for family members. It's a difficult and incredibly impactful service. About 65 percent of older people with long-term needs rely exclusively on family and friends, and another 30 percent will supplement family care with paid providers and, perhaps at some point, hospice.
Psychology Today published an interesting article examining the differences between male and female caregivers. It applies what I've said all along regarding the caregiving realm: men and women are different.
Women provide the majority of care to their spouses, parents, friends, and neighbors. Biologically, women are the nurturers, so their caregiving role is more natural. They wear many hats -- the hands-on health provider, care manager, friend, companion, surrogate, decision maker, and/or advocate. Because nurturing is viewed as their natural role, women are expected to be caregivers and are often not very appreciated. People are less likely to offer a woman help than a man because they don't expect him to be able to change diapers, wash clothes, or cook.
Men, on the other hand, are generally the providers, protectors, and fixer-uppers. That's their biological programming. Therefore, men see caretaking as a task, and the illness as something to fix. And when they can't fix it, they feel like failures, which leads them to depression. So, men really need help to understand that they are not failures because they can't fix the people they're caring for.
With this in mind, you can see why divorce rates are much higher when a wife is sick. Basically speaking, men don't handle the caretaking role as well. We've all heard stories of men in positions of political power who abandon or fool around on their wives who are seriously ill.
Unlike men, women like to talk about stress. Men get a lot of relief by not talking. Instead, they do guy stuff - e.g. going out and playing golf for two hours. That's what really helps them let go of stress.
Caregiving BurnoutWhether you're a male or female caregiver, there are common warning signs you're burnt out:
* You don't have as much energy * You catch every cold or flu that's going around * You're constantly exhausted even after you've slept * You start neglecting your own needs, either because you're too busy or you just don't care anymore * Your whole life revolves around caregiving, and you find absolutely no other satisfaction * You can't relax, even when help appears * You get increasingly impatient and irritable with the person you're caretaking * You feel overwhelmed, helpless, and hopeless
You burn out as a caretaker when you're trying to take on all the responsibilities of caregiving on your own. You're not taking breaks or getting assistance. And it's really tough to yank yourself back from a burnout.
So, when you start feeling the symptoms, it's time to take some action and get more help. You need to find somebody to take care of the paperwork and the yard, or find someone to come over and cook. You need to bring in other people. Whether they're volunteers, paid helpers, family, or friends taking turns, you're going to need help. If you try to take it all on yourself, you'll make yourself emotionally and physically sick, and you won't even be at your best for the person you're trying to help.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Palestinian Authority canceled Monday evening's session with Israeli peace negotiators in response to a deadly clash between Israeli soldiers and a violent Palestinian mob earlier in the day.
In a fairly routine operation, Israeli Border Police officers dressed in civilian clothing entered the Palestinian town of Qalandiya just north of Jerusalem to arrest a wanted terror suspect.
Just moments after the officers arrived at the suspect's home, a mob numbering at least 1,500 poured into the streets and began hurling firebombs and stones at the Israelis.
The Border Police officers responded with rubber bullets and tear gas, but were beginning to be overwhelmed when IDF soldiers arrived to back them up. The soldiers resorted to live fire as the situation spun out of control.
"Large violent crowds such as this which significantly outnumber security forces leave no other choice but to resort to live fire in self-defense," an IDF spokesman said in a statement to the press.
Three Palestinian rioters reportedly died of gunshot wounds during the clash.
The riots subsided for several hours, but resumed as Palestinians again took to the streets Monday afternoon for the raucous funeral procession of the three deceased men.
Palestinian Authority officials, who view such mob activity as "peaceful protest," accused Israel of "assassinating" the rioters.

News about Egypt, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times. More
Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world, claims one of the world's oldest cultures, descending from an ancient civilization that emerged in the 10th millennium BCE.
Widespread Middle East unrest in 2011 loosed grievances against the 30-year autocratic rule of President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted following a dramatic period of protest that became a watershed moment in the Arab Spring. This upheaval paved the way for the country's first free parliamentary elections, in which the Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi was elected president. Subsequent protests against Morsi's authoritarianism led to a 2013 military coup d'etat and the election of former general Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as president in 2014.

It has been an all-too-familiar start to the year for the UK high street, with the entertainment chains HMV and Blockbuster the latest to fall into administration.
The retailers' downfall has sparked anger and nostalgia from some quarters, yet the simple economics and shift in consumers tell a different story: UK shoppers spent more than £1 billion on downloading films, music and games in 2012, according to the Entertainment Retailers Association. Unfortunately, the stalwart retailers were not among those to benefit.
There are many factors driving the transition currently sweeping across the sector but, behind the closures, are there any fundamental lessons the media industry can learn from?
Cormac Loughran, the chief marketing officer at Aegis Media, has a very personal take on the situation, having spent fives years as a marketer at HMV in the 90s. For him, the current spate of retail businesses tipping into administration highlights that it has never been more crucial for marketers and their agencies to get to grips with the ever-decreasing gap between the point of engagement and the point of transaction.
"Common to any of the current batch of failing retail businesses is a tangible lack of success in grappling with multichannel," he says. "The explosion in smartphone and tablet ownership exacerbated this situation for many of these, as Amazon, Apple and Netflix were more agile and more effective in harnessing the opportunity."
Daren Rubins, the chief executive at Omnicom's PHD, says all businesses can learn from HMV's demise, not just media companies. In addition to the very sobering lessons surrounding legacy and analogue businesses failing to reinvent themselves in a digital world, he also draws a much stronger and more profound message.
"It is about how a business reads the market, how it listens to its customers and how it responds," he explains. "No-one would have blamed HMV for not inventing online retailing or music downloads, particularly when sales of CDs on the high street were so profitable. But a strong brand name only affords you precious months to develop your own offering that loyal customers can migrate to, and this is where HMV was too slow, too reluctant and too exposed."
For Starcom MediaVest Group's chief executive, Stewart Easterbrook, the collapse of HMV serves as a good reminder that people don't buy what you do but, rather, they buy why you do it. He believes that, over many years, HMV had let itself become a retailer of discs and electrical items, rather than a music expert and experience, leaving itself wide open when other more effective retail models emerged.
"Supermarkets and online retailers can sell CDs and the like cheaper and more conveniently. Neither offers a particularly immersive or engaging experience, but this is no longer the area where HMV had chosen to compete," he says. "As a music purchaser, I would have found HMV a far more attractive brand if they had presented themselves as people who did what they did because they loved music. Great brands achieve this sense of common bond."
Simon Davis, the chief executive of Walker Media, agrees the first glaring lesson is underlining the wisdom in the "adapt or die" mantra. He notes that, despite efforts to become relevant to today's consumers with the launch of MyHMV and diversification into live music and cinemas, the retailer never successfully transformed itself and made some big mistakes along the way – not least attempts to ban tattoos and in buying Zavvi stores.
"New- versus old-world media comparisons are obvious," Davis says. "But a more interesting parallel is in observing the loud complaints of HMV's suppliers – the content producers – that, if HMV were to close completely, the market could lose over £300 million, or 9 per cent of the market, as browsers and impulse buyers are lost."
He adds that the same suppliers that rewarded Amazon with discounts and chased volume by cutting deals with Apple for downloads through iTunes are the ones suffering squeezed margins and loss-making entertainment units.
"The parallel lies in the decision by media owners to reward agency traders with discounts for commoditised volume," he concludes. "It has fuelled the growth of Group M, which, as Channel 4 has recently discovered, makes them almost unmanageable to the point of perhaps stifling competition. Now it's Group M that makes all the money and the media owners who are suffering."

1 lb lasagna noodles
parmesan for sprinkling
for the cheese filling:
15 oz ricotta
3/4 cup steamed rapini*
3/4 cup shredded asiago
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
for the sauce:
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
6 oz fresh mushrooms, roughly chopped
whole tomatoes, hand crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Boil the lasagna noodles until almost al dente. Arrange the boiled noodles in a single layer on cookie sheets until assembly. Meanwhile, stir together all of the cheese filling ingredients until uniform. Set aside. Then, heat the oil in a large saute pan and add the onions, garlic, carrots and mushrooms. Saute until the vegetables are soft. Add the tomatoes and turn the heat down low. Simmer for at least 1 hour. You can cook it longer if you have the time, the flavor improves with more cooking, but an hour yields a perfectly tasty sauce. Ladle some of the sauce in the bottom of lasagna pan. Arrange the noodles in a single layer, overlapping as necessary. Spread with the cheese mixture and top with more sauce and another layer of noodles. Repeat until the pan is full, reserving some sauce to coat the final layer of noodle. Sprinkle with parmesan. Cover in foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake 15 additional minutes or until bubbly and hot. Allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.
*AKA broccoli rabe, rabe, broccoli raab, it is nearly identical to Chinese broccoli.

I am looking for board (free style boards) template but i havent found. Please help.
one of the reasons we build or own boards is so we can draw our own templates. most boards have a paraboloid edge, I wasnt happy with this and mine has an edge combining a parabola and a circle you get to decide width, length, rocker, concave (if concave) fins or no fins, placement of straps, materials, think do you want a better light wind machine or a lighter board, that helps you decide the width, do you want it to pop better or to glide better that determines your rocker, do you want it to hold its line better or pop harder that determines the amount of curve on your edge, look at the boards you have ridden and figure out what can be IMPROVED for own unique riding style dont just settle for someone else's board.ozykite wrote:I am looking for board (free style boards) template but i havent found.

The even better news for developers is that they can also port their existing BlackBerry 10 Android apps running on the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to also include support for the BlackBerry Q10 within the same release build.
While the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps has a built-in screen manager which will scale the application to the screen size of the device, it's always best to build your app specific to the device you are targeting to ensure it looks presentable to end-users.
BlackBerry Z10
For developers, the key difference between the BlackBerry PlayBook, BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 would be in regard to screen sizes. The all-touch BlackBerry Z10 features a resolution of 1280 x 768 (15:9) on a 4.2-inch, 356 PPI screen. Android resources are pulled in from the res/drawable-xhdpi project folder.
BlackBerry Q10
The BlackBerry Q10 boasts a 330 PPI screen but with a resolution of 720 x 720 on a 3.1" screen (1:1 aspect ratio). When targeting the BlackBerry Q10, Android developers can leverage the res/drawable-small-square project folder.
BlackBerry PlayBook
In addition to the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 models above, the BlackBerry PlayBook also supports Android apps. With a 7" screen resolution of 1024 x 600, this qualifies the BlackBerry PlayBook as an mdpi device pulling in resources from the res/drawable-mdpi project folder.
ADT Project Structure
Both the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 support icons with a size of 114 x 114 pixels (BlackBerry PlayBook: 86 x 86 pixels) which should be placed within their respective res/drawable project folders as well. Within the same Android project you can target both of the BlackBerry 10 form factors within the same release build by following these standard Android best practices.
You can repackage your Android APK to the BlackBerry BAR file format using the new v1.5.2 SDK, and test/debug using device simulators for the BlackBerry Z10 (BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B), BlackBerry Q10 (BlackBerry Dev Alpha C) and BlackBerry PlayBook tablet available within our Android tooling page. Other pages which you should find useful would be our documentation page for the BlackBerry Plug-in for ADT and the Android API Support page.
BlackBerry World Submission
After testing your Android application and repackaging it into the BAR file format, you can submit your app to the BlackBerry World storefront via the following steps:
- Log into the vendor portal
- Select Manage products
- Add a new release
- Set 'supported devices' appropriately based on BlackBerry Q10, BlackBerry Z10 and/or BlackBerry PlayBook support for your app. If the app supports more than one device you can choose to select multiple devices for the same release build (BAR file). On the contrary, you can also upload specific file bundles (BARs) for each BlackBerry 10 device.

Modesto Junior College Fails To Learn Anything From Its Previous Free Speech Failure
from the betting-it-all-on-'wrong' dept
Modesto Junior College has gone into damage control mode after the news spread of its refusal to allow a student to hand out copies of the Constitution on Constitution Day. Instead of realizing the complete folly of restricting free speech to two people at a time (with advance notice and permission) and a small cement slab, the administrators clung to the policy manual like it was handed down by Founding Fathers themselves.
But hefty policy manuals are no match for viral news coverage. In addition to Techdirt's immaculate coverage, the story also appeared at Popehat, Reason, Huffington Post, Fox News and the local paper, the Modesto Bee.
At first the district tried to hastily walk back Modesto's decision via this post on its Facebook page.
The Yosemite Community College District's (YCCD) colleges have free speech areas on campus for activities such as distributing materials on campus. In addition, people can distribute material in the areas generally available to students and the community as long as they don't "disrupt the orderly operation of the college." In the case of the YouTube video, it did not appear that the student was disrupting the orderly operation of the college. Therefore, we are looking into the matter. The administration of the YCCD supports the peaceful distribution of the Constitution and other materials on campus, which is why our colleges support Constitution Day with activities each year.As FIRE points out, it's all well and good that the district recognizes that the student (Van Tuinen) wasn't disrupting anything by distributing copies of the Constitution on campus, but that still doesn't change the fact that Modesto Junior College still deferred by its speech-limiting policies. So, the whole sentence after "in addition" is essentially meaningless on MJC's campus.
Now that the backlash has hit, the college has taken to an arm of the media to complain about the media. The president of the school, Jill Stearns, has posted an editorial at the Modesto Bee entitled "Media Unfair to MJC on Free Speech Incident," and it's equally defensive and deluded.
In addition to the positive event that took place [a school-sanctioned Constitution Day event], a college incident occurred which has sparked hatred and cruelty toward MJC staff, stemming from a video that was aired nationally.I love it when incidents just "occur" -- incidents marked by the inaction of everyone involved (or not involved, I guess.) No one's responsible for anything that happened that day except Van Tuinen, whose "nationally aired" video unfairly portrayed those on the periphery of this spontaneously-occurring suppression of speech. No one sent a cop out to confront him or direct him to the concrete slab o' freedom. It all just sort of… happened.
The media coverage does not reflect the campus culture or college mission. The coverage does not depict the commitment to students demonstrated by our faculty, staff and administration each day. The coverage provides a very limited glimpse of Modesto Junior College that has motivated a vast number of individuals across our country to voice their concern through email and phone calls. The coverage creates a misunderstanding of MJC to the extreme.
Stearns may not like how the incident portrays her school, but it's her school's policies and staff that come out looking worse, not the "culture" or the "mission." It's the policy that's bad. But when confronted about the sheer ridiculousness of this public school's limits on free speech, those employed directly by the college reduced themselves to spouting off paragraphs from the student handbook. If this is how those in the upper levels of administration respond to challenges, the school's mission and culture are doomed.
But Stearns isn't finished, and despite the fact that the so-called Free Speech Zone was the starting point for much of the criticism, she somehow feels that concept is still worth defending.
Unfortunately those contacting the college have no interest in the fact that we carve out designated free speech areas on campus such that any disruption to ordinary operations of the college are minimized. They have no interest in the fact that people are allowed to distribute materials, constitutions, etc., even beyond these designated areas.You're (perhaps intentionally) misreading the criticism if you think those contacting the college about this story have "no interest" in the "free speech areas." That's the crux of the issue. Free speech isn't supposed to be limited to small areas and left to the discretion of the administration as to what speech it will or won't allow (with advance notice).
As for the media having "no interest" in the "fact" that students are also allowed to distribute materials outside these free speech areas, it would appear your staff is similarly disinterested. Not once was it suggested Van Tuinen could return to distributing copies of the Constitution. Instead, he was pointed in the direction of the policies relating to the "free speech area."
And as for the supposed "disruption" you're so concerned about preventing with these speech limitations? FIRE has an answer for that.
That such restrictive policies might be necessary to ensure the "ordinary operations of the college" is an empty argument. According to data collected from FIRE's Spotlight database of campus speech restrictions, roughly one in six of America's top 409 schools maintain restrictive free speech zones. On the campuses of the remaining five-sixths of schools without free speech zone policies, one hardly finds disorder and mayhem. Unsurprisingly, students can co-exist with the free and open expression of ideas. They do not need campus bureaucrats to tell them how to do so.Stearns takes a final swing at the media on her way out.
Moreover, Van Tuinen's video illustrates that free expression can occur outside of the college's tiny free speech zone without disrupting university classes our operations. The distribution of copies of the Constitution on campus—outside of the free speech zone, no less—created no disruption whatsoever.
Rest assured that what the national media attempted to portray is not an accurate reflection of MJC.Kind of hard to claim something was misrepresented when anyone can watch a recording of the entire encounter. That portrayal alone, without additional commentary, is damning enough.
This sort of behavior is far too common. When an entity is publicly shamed for its own stupidity, it often decides the real villain is the "media." This is the laziest form of scapegoating and often the most hypocritical, as no entity has ever disputed a positive portrayal by the media. Only when they're still feeling the sting of backlash do they find fault in the coverage.
Fix your policy, MJC. And until that's fixed, please stop whining about the consequences of your own actions.

buzzabun needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 146 designs submitted by 50 freelance designers.
Green Homes Remodeling
I am a 28 y.o. entrepreneur starting my second venture/ upstart. I am into everything "green" now and have decided to start a business around home energy audits which in turn will introduce potential "green" remodeling projects to save homeowners money and save the Earth!
My target audience is really for individuals who own their own home probably in their 30's and up. Most of my customers are probably on the cutting edge of innovation and science as this is a fairly new field but they have strong beliefs in the environmental impact we all create in our lives and in our homes.
We are looking for a logo to represent Green Homes Remodeling as an efficient and money saving home remodeler with a concsious attitude towards "greening" America.
I've always leaned towards the traditional name "Green Homes Remodeling" with a nice roof over top the letters stacking "Green Homes" above "Remodeling". Then the idea of sprouting a leaf from the roof like a chimney implying the house emits green leaves. I like the idea of a leaf in the logo in general. Something like what is found on the top left page of the below website I like:
I've also considered the use of a frog to assimilate the idea of "Kermit" the frog and his mantra "Its not easy being green" change that slogan to "Its easy being green" Perhaps put that slogan beneath "Green Homes Remodeling" in some way.
I'd like a bigger focus on the "GREEN HOMES" and slightly less on the "remodeling". Perhaps the use of different shades of green as well.
Im basic when it comes to the type of file it is. I know my computer will open .jpg and .gif but if you know a way to allow me to open something that will help to enhance the image Im open to learning how to use that software. I just want to be able to brand the logo on a lot of different things so flexibility is key. THANKS!

According to Sir Jonah Barrington, those who initially had been against the Act of Union sold their principles — and their souls — for financial and political gain by changing their minds and voting against Ireland and for the Act of Union with Great Britain.
Although Sir Barrington's strong opinions about those who changed their vote might lead us to believe that everyone could be bought off, this was not the case. Some of those who changed their votes did so because they were convinced the Act would lead to reform, both parliamentary and economic, and would include Catholic emancipation. Whether or not they accepted bribes, the names of those who changed their votes and voted for the Act of Union appear on the Black List.
There are 140 names on the Black List. Under the heading 'Observations', Sir Barrington includes some biographical information about some of these individuals, and adds details of any payoff to them. With an acid tongue, Barrington occasionally inserts his opinion of them. Of his observations Barrington remarks, "As the capitulation was disgusting, the discussion must be severe."
Are any of your ancestors on the Act of Union Black List?
What was the Act of Union?
Here follows a very brief and simplified history of The Act of Union 1800/1801:
Tabled in 1800, passed into law in August of that year, and effected on 1 January 1801, the Act of Union joined Ireland to Great Britain as the single kingdom called The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Buoyed by the ideals of the French Revolution, including religious emancipation, many Irish, such as Theobald Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen, saw breaking free from Britain as the way forward to liberty and democracy for all. In order to prevent Ireland from supporting France in war against Britain — remember the French landed in County Mayo to aid the United Irishmen in the 1798 Rising — and to quell the fervour for liberty and fraternity, Britain sought to rein in Ireland with the Act of Union. As I mentioned above, some believed Ireland would benefit from the Act.
Once the Act of Union was passed into law, matters became more clear about what would actually be the case:
1. The Irish Parliament at Dublin was abolished, so no longer could Irish members of Parliament debate the fate of Ireland in Ireland. With the Act, Ireland was now represented at Westminster by one hundred Members of Parliament, 4 Lords Spiritual (bishops of the Anglican Church who served in the House of Lords) and 28 Lords Temporal (secular members of the House of Lords). Every single representative had to be Anglican.
2. King George III's disdain for Catholics was enshrined in the Act. He forbade Catholic Emancipation in Ireland, citing the fact that upon his coronation he had sworn an oath to uphold Anglicanism. Further, he ordered that no Catholics were permitted to hold public office.
3. The Anglican Church was made the official Church of Ireland.
4. There was to be free trade between Ireland and the rest of Britain (although this did not prevent tariffs from being imposed on Irish goods).
5. Ireland had to have a separate Exchequer, that is a national treasury, and from these monies Ireland had to pay for two-seventeenths of the so called 'general expenses' of the entire United Kingdom. This worked out to Ireland paying about 12% of the Kingdom's bills.
Overall, you have to agree it was not such a great 'union' for Ireland. They should have requested a pre-nup.
The dissolution of Éire's union with the United Kingdom began with the declaration of Irish independence, the opening volley of the 1916 Easter Rising. That declaration was ratified in 1919 by the newly created and secret Dáil Eireann, after which the War of Independence ensued. The Irish Free State was established in 1922. Ireland enshrined its independence in the constitution of 1937, and any remaining ties with the union were entirely severed in 1949. Independent Ireland, called Éire, and described as The Republic of Ireland, is no longer subject to the Act of Union, and therefore is not part of the United Kingdom (the State of Northern Ireland remains part of the UK).
Oddly enough, the Irish government did not officially remove the Act of Union from the law books in Ireland until 1983, and although it no longer applies, the Act of Union remains on the law books of the UK.
**Note: Since the union had to be approved in each parliament, there were actually two Acts of Union governing the union of Ireland with Great Britain. One was passed in the British Parliament in July of 1800, and the other was passed in the Irish Parliament in August of 1800. Both came into effect on 1 January 1801.

The BlackBerry® WebWorks™ SDK for Tablet OS Beta has been progressing very well, many thanks in part due to your continued feedback. If you haven't done so already, please update to the latest Beta of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Tablet OS. Important architectural changes have been implemented in v220.127.116.11 of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK, so developers will need to re-compile existing applications using this SDK in order for them to successfully run on the new BlackBerry® Tablet OS simulator v.0.9.4.
What's new in this release?
Our development teams have been very active since the last release, and have made some terrific enhancements in the capabilities, stability and performance of the Beta3 version of the SDK. Some notable improvements include:
- Code signing enabled – you can now secure your application using the BlackBerry code signing process for BlackBerry Tablet OS. Learn more about signing your applications.
- AJAX support for local context. This fix improves the quality of support for using AJAX to retrieve local resources. A benefit of this fix includes improved support on the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet for JavaScript® frameworks like jQuery.
- Loading screen image – Developers can define a loading screen and transition effect in their config.xml file to improve the user experience during application startup.
- Major improvements in Mac support – Absolute paths now allowed in ZIP archive; _MACOSX folder no longer being included in BAR file; Format of bbwp command line arguments changed from "-" to "/".
As always, please refer to the release notes for information about what has been improved in the current release.
Installation Tips
If you do not have any previous version of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK development tools installed, please follow the "Getting Started" guides for Windows® or Mac. Otherwise, existing developers are reminded that they must uninstall any previous versions of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Tablet OS before upgrading. To make this step easy, you can find an "Uninstall BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for PlayBook.exe" utility within the /bbwp folder of the installation folder.
Adding additional versions of the BlackBerry Tablet OS simulator to VMWare® player is completed using the exact same steps followed when you first installed a BlackBerry Tablet OS virtual machine. As a friendly reminder, developers do not need to delete previous versions of the BlackBerry Tablet OS simulator. These can be kept installed in case you wish to troubleshoot behavior between the multiple BlackBerry Tablet OS versions.
Once you have updated to the latest version of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Tablet OS, you can quickly restore code signing functionality simply by updating your bbpw.properties file and generating the sigtool.p12 file, as documented in the Configure signing for tablet applications guide.
What to expect next
We're not finished yet! Developers can continue to expect improvements to be added to the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Tablet OS in the coming weeks as we get closer to the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet launch date in the U.S and Canada.

Contains Sulphites.
A Domaine based in Morey St Denis that is held in high esteem by both fellow vignerons and Burgundy-lovers alike, Hubert Lignier is a five generation family estate that was first established in 1880. The business continually passed on from father to son, eventually coming to Hubert Lignier. In 1992 Romain Lignier joined his father, Hubert, but tragically died in 2004. In 2006 his brother Laurent took over the business to help his father and now runs the estate today. Laurent summarises the domaine's aim to be "aspiring to make authentic and sensual wines that express their own terroir." Understated and gentle the wines reflect the character of their maker. Blessed with old vines in Morey St Denis and some fabulous Gevrey and Chambolle parcels, Laurent makes wines of thrilling purity and elegance. The grapes are all destalked, apart from 10% for the Grands Crus in certain vintages, and the wines are aged in oak barrels, always light in toast, fine-grained and never more than 20% new. The vineyard is treated with respect, ploughed and without the use of herbicides or insecticides. Vinifications and ageing are gentle, slow and non-interventionist, as Laurent says "watching and patience are key in the cellar."
A commune in the Côte de Nuits district of Burgundy capable of producing excellent quality red wine, which is typically described as being a halfway house between its neighbours - the richer Gevrey-Chambertin and the lighter Chambolle-Musigny. There are four Grand Cru vineyards, from north to south: Clos de la Roche 16.9 ha, Clos St-Denis 6.6 ha, Clos des Lambrays 8.8 ha and the monopole Clos de Tart 7.5 ha, plus a small strip of Bonnes Mares overlapping from Chambolle Musigny. There are some good premier cru vineyards, among the best known include Les Ruchots, Clos de la Bussière (monopole of Georges Roumier), Les Millandes, Clos des Ormes, and Les Monts Luisants. The commune is also capable of producing excellent quality whites, but they are very rarely seen. Bruno Clair's En La Rue de Vergy is one example, another is Domaine Ponsot who produces a white from Chardonnay blended with a proportion of Pinot Blanc that had mutated from Pinot Noir vines.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.

Fresh off a tour of the corruption-plagued Baltimore City Detention Center, some lawmakers appear eager to hand the state corrections department a half-billion-dollar get out of jail free card, so to speak. Shocked by the antiquated structure, which dates in part to before the Civil War, some members of a legislative task force are saying that the state needs to get serious about building a new jail.
There is no doubt that the detention center is far from ideal. It is a cobbled-together warren of cells and hallways with poor sightlines, and it experiences frequent problems with basic systems like plumbing. But focusing on the age of the facility is a convenient distraction from the myriad other problems that led to the corruption there. The city jail was old long before alleged Black Guerrilla Family leader Tavon White showed up and, according to a long list of federal charges to which he intends to plead guilty, started running a lucrative business in contraband drugs, cellphones and other items. The age of the jail did not make the 13 corrections officers who have been indicted so far in the case more susceptible to corruption, nor did it prevent jail administrators from implementing effective security and disciplinary procedures.
When Public Safety and Correctional Services Secretary Gary D. Maynard first arrived in Maryland six years ago, the first thing he did was to declare that the old House of Correction in Jessup — which was 20 years younger than the city detention center, incidentally — was too antiquated to be safely managed. He acted with admirable decisiveness to close the prison and move all of its inmates to other facilities, a feat he managed to accomplish quickly, quietly and safely.
That's not possible at the city detention center. A new facility would be easier and more efficient to manage, but the costs and logistical hurdles inherent in replacing the detention center are daunting. Tearing down the existing structure and building on the same spot is likely not feasible because there is nowhere else to put the 3,000 people who are detained there at any given time. Unlike the inmates at the House of Correction, they cannot be farmed out to other facilities around the state because they are pretrial detainees who must be held in proximity to the city's courthouses. That's why the department's capital projects master plan calls for the gradual replacement of the detention center over a 15-20 year period.
Even if all the logistical hurdles for immediate replacement could be overcome, would the taxpayers of Maryland rather spend $500 million or more on a state-of-the-art city jail or on state-of-the-art schools, research labs or hospitals? If the investment was necessary to guarantee that staff and detainees are safe, that would be one thing, but a new facility offers no such assurance. On the same day that the legislators toured the city detention center, The Washington Post reported a rash of inmate-on-staff violence at the North Branch Correctional Institution in Western Maryland, the state's newest and most modern facility.
Tellingly, Mr. Maynard has not pointed to the facility's age as an excuse for the corruption there in recent years. Corrections officials have taken several steps to heighten security there, including installing more surveillance cameras and implementing a new random search protocol for staff, inmates and visitors. They are also working to install new technology to intercept unauthorized cellphone calls made from the jail — a tool with the potential to make it much more difficult for future Tavon Whites to coordinate so pervasive a corruption ring. That technology has already proven effective in a trial program at the Metropolitan Transition Center. And there is more that can be done; at the top of the list is to replace the old key-operated doors with ones that are electronically controlled.
The age of the city detention center certainly presents complications for the corrections department, but it doesn't begin to explain everything that has gone wrong there. We need to fix those problems before we start talking about spending a half-billion dollars — or more — to replace it.

Master of Arts in Theological Studies
The purpose of the Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS) program is to provide an understanding of theological disciplines for further graduate study or for general educational purposes. This degree program explores faith and attempts to understand the human condition, examining relevant and meaningful career choices in ministry from a theological perspective by the study of various theological disciplines, focused knowledge in a specific discipline, or interdisciplinary knowledge.
The students of the MATS program will be prepared to:
Utilize the deep knowledge about the Bible and its historical and cultural background in their ministries and their personal lives.
Interpret the various theological discourses and hermeneutics to the given contextual sites through teaching, preaching, and writing.
Critically reflect their lives in the light of theological knowledge and the biblical understanding.
Learning Outcomes
Examine biblical texts using inductive, literary, and theological approaches in order to interpret the Bible as Christian Scripture.
Identify the central doctrines of Christian theology and the foundations of Christian ethics, and elucidate their historical development
Reflect theologically through the Wesleyan Quadrilateral (Scripture, Church tradition, reason, and experience) in a manner that is faithful to the past and responsive to the present.
Demonstrate mastery of the craft of scholarly research and writing.
Exercise a critical, historically-rooted approach to theology that includes reading primary texts in their historical context, assessing them critically, and identifying the social, cultural, and personal lens through which they interpret the tradition.
Components and Requirements
1. Course Requirement
The program requires a total of 60 semester hours for graduation: 18 courses (54 credits) and final project/thesis (6 credits). In addition, MATS students must also maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or more to be eligible for graduation, with no more than one course completed with a grade of "C-" or below.
2. Course Distribution
The courses of the program comprise four fields in which specialization may be selected: religious heritage, cultural context, personal and spiritual formation, and capacity for ministerial and public leadership. MATS students must complete four courses (12 credits) in School Core, seven courses (21 credits) in MATS Core, a Final Project/Thesis (6 credits), and seven courses (21 credits) of Electives.
3. Final Project/Thesis
Students will write a thesis or a project as a part of graduation requirements, in which they will examine the implications and possibilities of theological study for future ministry or for life-enrichment. A Project/Thesis Seminar will be provided for each candidate in their second year, with faculty members to help and guide the candidate to complete his or her project/thesis. A tutorial for writing the thesis will be held in informal arrangement with a faculty member; the faculty member meeting the student as needed to offer guidance and criticism. The spring term Thesis Tutorial is pro forma, allowing the candidate to complete the final form of the thesis/project for presentation to the Thesis Committee.
4. Institutional Requirement
GCU requires all students to attend WS501 Institutional Requirement (chapel) every semester through graduation. Students will receive a Pass/Fail grade for this noncredit course.
The curriculum is available in the catalog on page 158, you can download it here

Find your inner rasta or soul man: The Beach Ball Soul Revue & Reggae Fest plans to bring out some of the best in reggae, funk and soul for two groovy days at the Santa Monica Pier this weekend.
Acts include legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker, who performed alongside the "Godfather of Soul" James Brown, as well as the next generation of artists like Allen Stone, who music curator Martin Fleischmann calls the "breakout blue-eyed soul act," and Aloe Blacc.
"The first beach festival I did was in Portugal. So to have to go all the way to Portugal to perform at the beach when I live 20 minutes from the beach was kind of funny," said Aloe Blacc, who is an Angeleno himself. "That's why I'm really excited for Beach Ball; it's so close to me. It's going to be great to have my friends and family come out and enjoy it along with my local fans."
The first-ever Beach Ball, which will also ring in the new season as the autumnal solstice (Sept. 22), is part of a roll out of new ticketed events at the Santa Monica Pier that started earlier in the year with the mini rock festival, All Bands On Deck, in March that featured Los Angeles groups Poolside and Yacht as headliners.
"It's a new paradigm for the pier," said Martin Fleischmann, principle for the L.A.-based concert production company Rum & Humble that collaborated with the pier this year for its Twlight Concert series. "One of the things the pier was looking for was some classic programming that bridged the present with the past. There is currently a very active soul and funk contingent of performers in the U.S. that has its roots all the way back to the 50s-60s-70s as well as a local audience who appreciate the old and the new. And there are still some classic reggae greats out there so we thought a combo of soul revue and reggae fest would be really fitting."
If the jam-packed, crowd-covered beach for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and reggae star Jimmy Cliff concert during the pier's Twilight Concert season finale on Sept. 12 is any indication, The Beach Ball Soul Revue will draw hundreds or more reggae, funk and soul fans.
"Those who aren't familiar with reggae and real soul music will enjoy this immensely, but for those aficionados of soul and reggae, this is a gift," Fleischmann said. "To see this in one place, by the sea in open air in a non-traditional environment like the pier is just going to make for two incredible days — and I say that as a fan."
Aloe Blacc, who was born Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III, is also a fan of the genres being showcased at the festival and attributes the sounds created by Parker and others as positive influences in his career. He has also worked with a couple of the acts on the bill, collaborating with Lee Fields on the song "Truth, Deception and Lies" in and using The Expressions band for his 2010 album, "Good Things," which could make for a surprise performance for fans
"I hope Beach Ball inspires some people to go and discover more of the artists on the stage," Aloe Blacc said. "There are some really great acts with amazing backgrounds that people should give at least a week to research the artists. I say learn about the music of past because I really believe that it can give us a peek at what's to come in the future."

This advertisement for the hair restorative services of Madame Bannister may have informed and intrigued readers by its use of imagery. A drawing of what appears to be an Indian maiden would have conveyed a sense of unspoiled health and vitality to prospective customers. The advertisement's reference to "roots and herbs of the forest" would have also resonated with consumers who believed in the ability of herbs and plants to heal and promote wellbeing. Madame Bannister's name suggested foreign sophistication, and her use of a shampoo made from a bark "which does not grow in this country," to cleanse the hair hinted at the exotic.

Canadian Amateur Boxing is about amateur boxing and the many stories from decades past to the here and now. Canadian Amateur Boxing is about the many people involved in the sport - boxers, coaches, officials and even the media. Canadian Amateur Boxing is about a journey on the boxing highway with many paths, but for many there is only one road and that is the road to excellence. It is about the many past and present boxing clubs scattered from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland.

2005 Ultimate Adventure Off Road Trail Tips And TricksPosted in Ultimate Adventure: 2005 on November 1, 2005
Ultimate Adventure is a great way to test the parts and products that companies have put time and research into, but we've also seen many home-brewed tricks that made the trip that much easier on drivers. Here is a mix of cool new products and ingenious ideas that could be future products. Feel free to copy at will.
Super Fred!
With a name like Fred he has to be smart, and Fred Perry proves it again with his new stretched Jeep TJ. His favorite trick? Using a Chris Durham Motorsports (CDM) fiberglass Good Hood, and lowering the grille and radiator so that it sits down even lower over the engine. From the driver seat Perry doesn't even see the hood, just the dash and the trail ahead of him. To keep the CDM Good Hood from disappearing while visiting the seedy parts of town, Perry went and installed these hood-lock kits (PN 1472) from Mr. Gasket instead of vulnerable hood pins.
CJ Secret
Got a square-headlighted Jeep YJ, but want a round-headlighted Jeep CJ? Rather than start over, just cover the square holes with round holes and insert lights. You'll keep the stronger YJ frame and modern dash yet can sneak onto the CJ-only runs.
Holy Flat Belly!
Stephen Watson rotated his 203-205 Off Road Design doubler and was able to give his Blazer buggy a belly almost as flat as Pw after a week of camping with no Corona. Thus even with a 120-plus-inch wheelbase he rarely got high-centered.
Safe Shafts
When on Ultimate Adventure you never know what spare parts you'll need. John Hughbanks brought spare front and rear driveshafts and mounted them to his cage using a bracket for his CV flange to bolt to, and a pinion yoke welded to the rollbar at the other end. This kept them close at hand, but still protected from bobbling heads in a rollover situation.
Say "Wipe"
Jeeps are notorious for wipers that are either too slow or too fast with no intermittent setting. Keith Bailey put a floor-mounted momentary switch next to his high-beam switch, and he can now have hands-free voice-activated wipers. Just say "wipe," tap the button, and you get one clean sweep.
Tube Truck
We are hard pressed to find exo-cages that look good, and most internal cages do nothing for body damage protection. So how about combining body and cage like Paul Chowanec did with his Toyota? Curved pieces of steel plate and painted plastic allow the tubes to rub on obstacles, but don't give the truck that trapped-in-a-birdcage look.
Cooler Keeper
Few trail rigs are complete without coolers, but ratchet strap tie-downs complicate getting out frosty juice boxes. So Jake Good decided that these bungee hooks mounted to the cab floor of his Bronco and lined up with matching points on his cooler would hold his beverages secure and still allow quick and easy cooler restocking.
Spyder Web
Clifton Slay brought his Poison Spyder Customs new Jeep Unlimited. We liked the cage his company installed that covers all the passengers yet still fits under the stock hardtop and uses the stock speaker bar.
Junk Storage
Bringing spare parts but only have a pint-sized rig? Be like Tim Hardy and use the space under the hood. It's amazing how many tight little spots there are along the inside of your fenders for spare bottles of oil, hubs, and bags of tools. Just make sure they are secure from fans, belts, and batteries.
Oh Bummer Bars
If you ever get in a rollover or scary off-camber situation then your passengers will appreciate the value of grab handles to steady themselves with. Paul Chowanec had these bars mounted to his cage and covered them with soft rubber hand grips to give a positive place to grab and to protect heads in a roll.
Lexan Midgate
Want to separate the dusty tail end of your SUV where trail dirt, spare parts, and exhaust gases congregate from the cabin where your missus, kids, or buddies ride? Nate Marsh put up these clear Lexan windows. They don't shatter, and they seal out everything from mud to snow while still allowing clear rear views.

Quest for Celestia
When I was in college and became a Christian, someone ended up handing me a copy of The Pilgrim's Progress, a book that John Bunyan wrote while he was serving a twelve-year prison sentence for preaching the Gospel without permission.
From a literary perspective, his book was a groundbreaking achievement—it was one of the first (if not the first) novel-length allegories ever printed, and according to some scholars, for more than two hundred years it was the second-best selling book in the world, trailing only the Bible.
Even though I'm not typically a fan of "the classics," I read it and it really impacted me. I'm no theologian, but the narrative-based look at the Christian life connected with me in a way no sermon ever had. The story made sense not just to my mind, but to my storyteller's heart.
However, honestly, the book is hard to get through. With its archaic language, heavy-handed moralizing, and blatantly obvious allegorical lessons, it's almost inaccessible to modern readers.
So, a few years ago when I was exploring writing a fantasy novel for teens, I decided to reimagine John Bunyan's tale, not through the eyes of a preacher, but through the eyes of a storyteller.
As a stand-alone fantasy adventure story, Quest for Celestia takes readers on an epic journey through a land of giants, dragons, danger and deception. While John Bunyan's themes, images, and fragments of thought have certainly found their way into this story, it's not just a retelling of his allegory, it's a completely new vision of the quest he tried to encapsulate in his tale.
Stories live only as long as they're retold or remembered. I hope Quest for Celestia will introduce a whole new generation to the fantastical, mythic story that spans the ages, the story that John Bunyan was imprisoned for telling to the world.

Public Meeting With SM Spoke and Council Member Terry O'Day
Santa Monica Spoke is starting to really come together, and as I've mentioned part of my absense in blogging has been due to time helping with the group. I'm one of the steering committee members along with Bryan Beretta, Dr. Michael Cahn, Barbara Filet, Richard McKinnon, Mihai Peteu, Scott Reiter and Cynthia Rose. We have a big public meeting this week, we'll be introducing the group, what our goals and agendas are, soliciting input from the public, and there will be Q&A, with Terry O'Day from the Santa Monica city council present to talk bikes.
This Wednesday at 6:30pm in the community meeting room at 502 Colorado Blvd (5th and Colorado) – enter through the gate on Colorado. Bike parking on the patio.

Not everyone's keen on the changes coming to Grand-Am, but if it results in the 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype we're ok with it. Why? Because it's a prototype that doesn't look like it was just punched in the nards.
Action Express Racing has two Corvettes (#5 and #9) for the upcoming season. Here's the #9 car at Daytona earlier today for some testing.
