In 1917, the Diocese of Los Angeles-Monterey established a mission in a Spanish-speaking barrio of San Diego responding to a request of the local pastor to better attend to the needs of a growing population. La Purísima Mission eventually became the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe and continued its mission as a Mexican National Parish.
During the 1930s, the parish was staffed by Spanish Augustinian Recollects, and after their removal by the first bishop of San Diego in 1939, three Mexican Jesuits were found to staff the parish. Eventually the California Province Jesuits took over.
A school was established at the parish in 1945, but the building of a freeway took the buildings away and almost ruined a thriving community. When the school reopened it never regained its robustness, and so, in 1973, the school merged with the much-older school of Our Lady of the Angels. The new Our Lady's School occupied both campuses as it continues to do today.
A few years ago, the parish ceased being a Mexican National Church and is now a territorial parish with a mission to accompany, inspire, and educate especially Mexican-Americans in their journeys with the Blessed Virgin and her Divine Son.

It is possible to use THERMOCOUPLE-4 as a standalone thermocouple amplifier or as a peripheral to a microcontroller system. It can be used in almost any application or system to amplify and condition the raw voltage output from thermocouples. Featuring four socketed LT1025 ICs, THERMOCOUPLE-4 provides amplification, and filtering for E, J, K, R, S and T type thermocouples. Conditioned output voltages for four thermocouple channels are available on a 26-pin dual-row pin header.
It is recommended to use this board in combination with the DAQ-2543 or DAQ-128 analog-to-digital converter board.
See also the THERMOCOUPLE-4A which adds cold junction compensation, providing less initial uncalibrated temperature error (0.5°C instead of 2°C).
Two THERMOCOUPLE-4 boards can be stacked for a total of eight thermocouple inputs. The thermocouple stack can be installed on top of the DAQ-2543 board. The DAQ-2543 board can be installed on top of your microcontroller system.
If you need 16 thermocouple inputs (four THERMOCOUPLE-4 boards) there is a different approach: The DAQ-128 peripheral board operates on I2C bus. Each board has a 3-bit address selector. Thus you can replace a DAQ-2543 with a DAQ-128 in the previous 8-input setup. To provide eight more inputs, you can use another DAQ-128 board. Two extra THERMOCOUPLE-4 boards will be installed on top of the second DAQ-128 board. The second setup can be connected to the first setup using a ribbon cable.
Theoretically, you can build a setup with 64 thermocouple inputs in that manner one DAQ-128 for every two THERMOCOUPLE-4.

Who Can I Talk to About My Parents' Drinking Problem?
My parents have a drinking problem, but every time I try to talk about it they
say I shouldn't worry and they're getting help. Who can I talk to?
– Nicholas*
Having a parent with a drinking problem or other addiction can be extremely tough. Alcohol and other addictions affect everyone in a family — but sometimes parents don't realize this.
Even when parents are getting the help they need, sons and daughters have their own questions, concerns, emotions, and needs to sort through. Talking about all this with someone — whether it's a friend, counselor, or religious leader — is a healthy thing to do.
Alateen is an international resource for people in your situation. They can offer support, including meetings where you can talk with other teens who are going through the same thing. They also have a newsletter, AlateenTalk, where you can get the views of people your age.

Help for THL Interactive Maps of Tibet and the Himalayas
Contributor(s): David Germano, Tom Benner
This page documents how to use the THL Interactive Maps of Tibet and the Himalayas.
THL's interactive maps are created from "GIS" coverage, which basically means databases of geographic points and regions keyed to latitude and longitude values from which various maps can be dynamically created. In simple terms, a geographic point – for a village, a mountain, a monastery – is entered into a database with a corresponding latitude and longitude value to mark the "point." Likewise, a geographic region – for a county, a cultural area, a nation – is entered into a database with corresponding latitude and longitude values that mark the boundary of the region to trace a "polygon." GIS software then enables various maps to be created from this database of points and polygons. The type and extent of points and polygons documented in the database is typically referred to as GIS "coverage." The diverse maps that can then be created by the user from this coverage hinges upon which types of features are chosen to display in a given view, with each type of feature referred to as a "layer." Thus, for example, one might choose to view a GIS map with a layer providing polygons for contemporary administrative units, a layer with polygons for medium-size to large lakes, or a layer providing points for large monasteries. Multiple layers can be selected. Thus, by mixing and matching various layers, users can create a wide variety of maps which can then be printed, downloaded, and so forth.
At present, any geographical feature within THL's Place Dictionary can be immediately visualized on the Interactive Maps, with the corresponding point or polygon highlighted in yellow. Users can then customize the overall map by switching different layers on and off. We are currently working on improving the system so that users will be able to click on a given point or polygon on the Interactive Maps, and go directly back to the corresponding Place Dictionary entry. Once that improvement is in place, the Place Dictionary and Interactive Maps will be a powerful integrated system for delivering information and visualizations of Tibetan and Himalayan places.
These maps have four distinct aspects: the actual map, controls, tools, and legends.
The map of course is the actual map.
The legend provides a key explaining the different visual aspects of the map and the types of geographical features to which they correspond.
The tools at present are minimal and basically allow for focusing on different regions of the map, and zooming in and out.
- Click the magnifying tool on the left to activate it. When active, where you click on the map will be zoomed in and centered. You can do this repeatedly to zoom in in stages.
- Click the pan tool (visually a hand) in the center to activate it. When active, where you click on the map will be centered in the window.
- Click the negative magnifying tool on the left to activate it. When active, where you click on the map will be zoomed out and centered. You can do this repeatedly to zoom out in stages.
Controls provide the means to make turn on and off various layers – each layer corresponding to a type of geographical feature – as well as change the language of the geographical labels which display.
- In order to make a layer visible or invisible, click the box beside it and then click the "Refresh" button.
- To view labels in a given language, click the corresponding label box and then click the "Refresh" button. Note: the layer needs to be visible in order for any given label layer to appear.
- Although it may seem that only some of the names for features appear when the labels are active, this is because they are set not to overlap. If you zoom in far enough, they will appear.
This resource is geared toward a popular use of GIS-derived interactional maps.
In the "Browse" section of the menu and in the other tools that list feature types (for example, the "Feature type" field in the "Search" section of the menu), the only feature types that are listed are ones for which we have features with geographic data. The two numbers in the parentheses following a feature type name are, respectively, the number of features for that feature type that have geographic data and the total number of features for that feature type.
The preceding discussion is geared toward a popular use of GIS-derived interactional maps. For specialists, however, GIS coverages can be employed for powerful analytical functions. For example, searches can be done that request the relationship between different layers, and then cartographic representations can be derived of the query results. Thus, one might ask to see all monasteries above a certain size, and within fifty meters of a lake, and then visualize this on a map against a specified background of layers. Specialists should consult the THL GIS Portal for details.

WASHINGTON—The mandate for virtually all private insurers, including most religiously-affiliated organizations such as Catholic hospitals, universities and charities, to include contraceptives, sterilizations and drugs that can cause early abortions in their employee health plans is akin to mandating that a kosher deli serve pork, the chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops told Congress.
In his February 16 testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport, Connecticut, outlined the bishops' opposition to the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate through an extended parable of a country where a new law requires all businesses to serve pork, including kosher delicatessens.
When the Orthodox Jewish community expresses its outrage, Bishop Lori said, it's met with arguments of "But pork is good for you," "So many Jews eat pork, and those who don't should just get with the times," and "Those Orthodox are just trying to impose their beliefs on everyone else."
Bishop Lori's parable had a happy ending, that people recognized "it is absurd for someone to come into a kosher deli and demand a ham sandwich," "it is beyond absurd for that private demand to be backed with the coercive power of the state," and "it is downright surreal to apply this coercive power when the customer can get the same sandwich cheaply, or even free, just a few doors down."
"The question before the United States government—right now—is whether the story of our own Church institutions that serve the public, and that are threatened by the HHS mandate, will end happily too. Will our nation continue to be one committed to religious liberty and diversity? We urge, in the strongest possible terms, that the answer must be yes."

Banana Tree Shirts are a variety of open-necked, tropically-themed garment closely associated with Wembley Fraggle on Fraggle Rock. Wembley claims to own only two banana tree shirts, and complains in "Doomsday Soup" that his spare shirt is so dirty, the banana trees are starting to grow.
Each year on Trophy Day, Wembley also accepts a trophy for Best Shirt with Banana Trees on It. Though the market for this variety of leisure-wear would seem to be exclusive to Wembley, the Wizard goes into business as a banana tree shirt salesman in "The Wizard of Fraggle Rock."
In "The Secret of Convincing John," Convincing John compels Wembley to choose between a white shirt with banana trees on it and a beige/brown shirt. John's own wardrobe is similarly limited, including two identical suit jackets.
Near the end of the episode "A Tune for Two", Cotterpin Doozer can be seen wearing a banana tree shirt similar in design to Wembley's, with the only difference being that hers is smaller to accommodate her size, as Doozers are 1/10 of the size of a Fraggle. Wembley, in return, can be seen wearing a visor similar to Cotterpin's.

Viral video challenges have been making a lot of headlines in the last year -- and usually not for good reasons. Most of them involve risky and sometimes life-threatening behavior, which have left countless kids and teens hospitalized, and in some cases have even claimed lives. Sadly, this was the case for Indiana teen Mason Bogard, who died May 4 of injuries sustained while doing the viral "choking challenge," according to Local 12.
As his devastated mother later shared on Facebook, Mason tried to choke himself "to the point of almost passing out," as the challenge dictates.
It was something he had seen on social media, and wanted to try himself. But tragically, it went too far, and shortly after the teen was discovered, he was rushed to the hospital.
According to his mom, Joann Jackson Bogard, doctors and medical staff at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville did everything they could to save Mason's life. But in the end, there was nothing that could save him.
Though grief-stricken by losing their son, the Bogards are doing their best to see the bit of good that has come from his passing.
"While we are devastated that we will never experience so many things with Mason again, we are able to find some comfort in the fact that Mason will save the lives of others," the teen's mother wrote on Facebook.
After exploring organ donation, the family decided to move ahead with the procedure shortly before Mason was due to be taken off life support. Incredibly, he was able to save five lives with the organs harvested by medical staff.
A video of the teen's "honor walk" is now going viral, showing hospital staff silently honoring Mason's life, as well as those he was about to save.
"Our hero saved 5 lives!" reads the caption alongside the video, which was originally shared on Facebook by his mother, Joann.
It was filmed by an Indiana Donor Network representative on behalf of the Bogard family, according to Local 12. In it, Mason is seen being wheeled through a hospital corridor as medical staff bow their heads and respectfully stand in silence as he passes by. Right before heading into surgery, doctors paused for a moment of silence, and then -- while surrounded by Mason's family -- a short letter was read aloud describing the caring, "adventurous" young man so many knew him to be in life.
Deaconess Hospital also flew a "donor flag" outside the hospital for three days in Mason's honor, his mother shared.
The rise in dangerous viral challenges has been concerning parents, health officials, and authorities for some time.
First came the headlines about teens eating Tide Pods in January 2018. Then in spring 2018, they were allegedly snorting condoms. There's also been the dangerous trend of car surfing, which led a 10-year-old to be hospitalized earlier this year when he was run over by his own parent. And the recent Snapchat craze known as the "shell on challenge," in which kids attempt to eat a food item in its packaging, even plastic.
Sadly, the "choking challenge" (sometimes called the "pass out challenge") isn't new -- and neither are the deaths it has caused.
According to a TIME report last year, 82 people between the ages 6 and 19 died as a result of the game between 1995 and 2007 (the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). That means it's been making the rounds long before YouTube was even a thing.
"Choking someone else until they pass out, or choking yourself until you almost pass out, has been around for decades," wrote Mason's mother in a Facebook post earlier this month. "But the Internet provides youth with a new medium to actually watch others do it and then wake up and laugh about it ... The problem isn't that they hear about a challenge or see a video ... the problem is the AMOUNT that they are exposed to [it] ... and the types of things that they see and hear online ... their brains are not equipped to handle the emotions that go with that act, which can lead to all sorts of other emotional issues."
The danger of some of these teen challenges is real and, quite frankly, it is terrifying.
But families like the Bogards, who have lost a loved one as the result of them, hope that by sharing their stories, they can help prevent others from meeting the same fate.
On Facebook, Joann Bogard has become quite vocal about sharing what she's been calling #MasonsMessage. In a May 15 Facebook post, she shared a YouTube video by another mom highlighting her son's story and urging others to stop the choking challenge now.
"Please watch her video," Joann wrote. "This is the message that we are trying to share. Educate yourselves on the dangers, the signs, the possible consequences."
Hopefully, others are listening -- especially teens -- and the message Mason's family is so passionately sharing right now will not be in vain.

We can't believe it has been over a week since we have visited all of our blogging friends! We have literally had no time to focus on anything "home construction" related, and can only assume that this trend will not change until the beginning of the year.
That being said, we did make one selection last week regarding two of our fireplaces; the mantel surround.
The debate over if we should use a solid masonry fireplace has been put to rest. With all of the new developments and improvements in firebox inserts, we find no benefit in using solid masonry.
Initially we felt that solid masonry would add to the aesthetics of our fireplace, yet in our design everything but the firebox opening is hidden behind the wall. The herringbone pattern visible inside the firebox insert is masonry.
We felt we needed solid masonry to get a large firebox, which is also false. Our firebox will have a 48" by 43" opening starting at floor level. That is huge!
We also felt that we needed solid masonry to achieve the proper exterior aesthetics, which is also false. Our two chimney stacks will still be framed to the same size as the masonry chimneys and will have stucco or brick applied to the exterior for a completely authentic look. Wait until you see the chimney cap options, which are worthy of their own post!
The benefits of using an insert over a masonry fireplace; We will achieve the same look both inside and out for about 1/3 of the price of solid masonry. Our fireplaces will also be more energy efficient. Nobody will know the difference, unless you follow our blog!

If your index and archive pages are getting too long, or if you want to compact the information within those pages a little bit, for instance because the featured images above each post are just too large, consider to change the template to show the posts in two columns.
This is easier done than said, with some useful css classes injected into the output of the 'post_class()' in the div of each post, together with some rather simple css.
For instance, to change the category archive into two columns, without editing category.php itself, add a filter function into functions.php (as always with the default themes of WordPress, this is done within a child theme):
add_filter('post_class','category_two_column_classes'); function category_two_column_classes( $classes ) { global $wp_query; if( is_category() ) : $classes[] = 'two-column-post'; if( $wp_query->current_post%2 == 0 ) $classes[] = 'two-column-post-left'; endif; return $classes; }
The minimum css for this is:
.two-column-post { width: 47%; float: left; margin-left: 5.9%; } .two-column-post-left { clear: left; margin-left: 0; }
If you want to apply the same principle for instance to the posts page or other archives, replace
with another conditional tag like
The code is easily adapted to three columns (or actually any number of columns) by changing the number in the modulus operator:
add_filter('post_class','category_three_column_classes'); function category_three_column_classes( $classes ) { global $wp_query; if( is_category() ) : $classes[] = 'three-column-post'; if( $wp_query->current_post%3 == 0 ) $classes[] = 'column-post-left'; endif; return $classes; }
the css for three columns would be:
.three-column-post { width: 30%; float: left; margin-left: 4.9%; } .column-post-left { clear: left; margin-left: 0; }

This tutorial will show you a code that I wrote which does a single word replacement on a string using Pattern and Matcher. The example is straightforward. Please review the comments in the code below. I have placed useful comments at various statements in the code.
package com.kushal.regularexpressions; /** * @author Kushal Paudyal * www.sanjaal.com/java * Last Modified On 2009-SEPT-16 * * Using Regular Expressions To Replace * A Single Word From The String. */ import java.util.regex.*; public class ReplaceSingleWord { static String originalString = "Google is Good. " + "Google is Innovative. " + "We think Google is the technology of the era"; static String replaceWhat = "Google"; static String replaceWith = "Sanjaal"; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { System.out.println("...Before Replacement: n" + originalString + "n"); /** * Create a pattern to match Google. * Pattern.compile () compiles the given regular * expression into a pattern */ Pattern p = Pattern.compile(replaceWhat); // Create a matcher with an input string /** * Creating a matcher with the original input string. */ Matcher m = p.matcher(originalString); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); System.out.println("...Replacing '" + replaceWhat + "' with '" + replaceWith + "'.n"); /** * Try to find the next subsequence of the input sequence * which patches the pattern. */ boolean result = m.find(); /** * Looping through to create a new string * with replacement applied. */ while (result) { m.appendReplacement(sb, replaceWith); result = m.find(); } /** * Add the last segment of input to the new String * * appendTail () method Implements a terminal append-and-replace step. * This method reads characters from the input sequence, * starting at the append position, and appends them to * the given string buffer. It is intended to be invoked * after one or more invocations of the appendReplacement * appendReplacement method in order to copy the * remainder of the input sequence. * Parameters: * sb --> The target string buffer * Returns: * The target string buffer */ m.appendTail(sb); System.out.println("...After Replacement:n" + sb.toString()); } }
Output of this program:
…Before Replacement:
Google is Good. Google is Innovative. We think Google is the technology of the era
…Replacing 'Google' with 'Sanjaal'.
…After Replacement:
Sanjaal is Good. Sanjaal is Innovative. We think Sanjaal is the technology of the era

I have a WCF service to be consumed by both:
ASP.NET - ASP.NET app uses form-authentication and impersonate a Windows user account WEBUSER. This is a web user account but by and large it works fine as the intention is to tighten the security. So ...Code:Consumer #1
web.config of the ASP.NET app:
And in web.config of WCF Service hosted in IIS:Code:<authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="GenericOMS_auth" loginUrl="LoginForm.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30" path="/" /> </authentication> <identity impersonate="true" userName="MyBox\WEBUSER" password="SomeSecret" />
Works fine.Code:<authentication mode="Windows"/>
Consumer #2 JSON/AJAX all from web page in ASP.NET (Consumer #1)
Now, I added webpage to ASP.NET app that makes AJAX/JSON calls to the WCF Service. I'm not sure what to do in web.config of my WCF Service . Clients viewing the webpage are not always domain users (and we wouldn't want to tie down to this model anyway).
FYI, in WCF web.config, I've added:
I suppose this would suffice for AJAX post/get to include forms-authentication cookie when invoke WCF right?Code:<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" /> ... <endpoint address="JSON" behaviorConfiguration="JSONBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" name="JSON" contract="xxx.SecurityServiceLib.ISecurityService" /> ... <endpointBehaviors> <behavior name="JSONBehavior"> <enableWebScript /> </behavior> </endpointBehaviors>
Any suggestion? Thanks!

Inspired by a lovely blog that I follow, Forgotten Old Photos, I did something I haven't done before. The lady who writes the blog buys up old photos and posts them in the hope that they might be reunited with descendants some day. There are helpful folk who do some research if the photos have names on the back, and there is a general "PARTY!" feel when a photo is reunited with its family.
I rummaged around on Ebay and found a cute Carte de Visite. The seller was in the US (I'm in Scotland) but the CDV luckily had names penned on the front so I snapped it up. Meet little Harry and Minnie Murray who had their photo taken by Patersons of Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. I wondered if I could find some relatives for these two.
I was so excited when it arrived! Harry and Minnie were very likely born in the Glasgow area, and although I research the Scottish records on a daily basis, I knew I would have trouble finding them in the Census Returns – there was no date given on the photo, which meant I couldn't estimate their years of birth and would have to trawl through Census documents hoping to find a Harry Murray who happened to have a sister (assuming she was his sister) called Minnie. Harry can be short for "Henry" and Minnie can be short for all sorts (my great granny was a Minnie – short for Andrewina, strangely enough). Oh dear.
I guessed that Minnie looks about 7 and Harry looks about 4, but I'm not good at guessing ages. Most of the time I can't even remember my own age. Please chip in with your guesses at their ages!
I Googled for Paterson's Photographic Co and discovered that they operated from Sauchiehall Street between 1882 and 1897. The style of the card and the printing of the company name suggest a time period of the late 1880's to early 1890's.
I also sent a copy of the photo to Forgotten Old Photos, asking for advice about dating the photo from the clothing and she kindly responded "First of all the card stock..light pink..I assume it is the same color on the back. Pastel colors like pink were used after 1880. The card has rounded corners so that dates it sometime after 1870. Button trims and the high neck and tight sleeves on the girls clothing look like the 1880's to me. That little boy is really cute in his trimmed suit. Childrens clothing is much harder to date..because they handed it down."
Although all my Scottish research is carried out using the original records which are held nearby in Edinburgh, as it was Saturday, and raining (excuse for not cutting the grass – YAY!) I logged on to my Ancestry.com account to see what I could find out about the two little ones. Ancestry doesn't have access to Scottish records, apart from transcribed Census returns so I tend not to use the site much, except for passenger lists and non-Scottish Census data. Well, what an eye-opener (if the shaky leaves were telling the truth, but I'm still not totally convinced :-)) but I think I found them in the 1881 Census. They were the 8th and 9th surviving children of Archibald Murray and Marion McColl and were living at 438 Crown Street, Glasgow. Minnie was aged 6 ("Marion" on the Census, born c 1875) and Harry was aged 3, which fits with the dates of the photography business, and would date this photo around 1882. That makes this card about 130 years old – I wish I had family photos (even one!) that old. By the time of the 1891 Census, the family had moved to 285 Crown Street.
Look at Minnie's FOUR strings of beads, and the embroidered detail on Harry's jacket. Considering that Archie had 9 kids by then, he was doing well – or perhaps Harry's suit and Minnie's beads were borrowed from the neighbours, which was accepted practice when a family had saved enough for a studio photo.
From Ancestry, it seems that Harry and Minnie probably had an older sister, Maggie May. Yes, we know a song about her, thank you, Rod 🙂 Maggie married George Noble and emigrated from Scotland in 1906, landing up in Winnipeg and later moving to LA, where she died. I wish I had asked the Ebay seller (Robert at hc-quality) where he had acquired the card from. I guess we will never know for sure if the carte de visite was a treasured memento of her kid sister and brother that Maggie May took with her when she left Scotland.
As a follow up to this post, I will use the Scottish birth, marriage and death records to see if I come to a different conclusion rather than relying on census data, Ancestry member family trees and passenger lists, which can easily lead you to barking up the wrong tree 🙂
Head over to Sepia Saturday and see what other interesting old photos are being discussed with this week…

Consistent Pence worthy of All-Star consideration
SAN FRANCISCO -- Online-only voting for the 2014 All-Star Game commenced last Thursday, which signaled the arrival of the final push for this year's balloting. The Giants have the National League's second-best record, but no players atop their positions in the voting.
Each of the team's three starting outfielders is in striking distance of the current would-be starters, with Michael Morse in eighth, Angel Pagan in ninth and Hunter Pence 11th.
Pence trails third-place Yasiel Puig by roughly 1.8 million votes, but the Giants' right fielder's consistency -- especially with the rest of the team mired in a slump -- has made him a worthy candidate for inclusion.
Although the Giants have maintained throughout the season that they don't care about All-Star appearances, Pence has a case to be honored a third time in his eight-year career. Entering Thursday, his .295 batting average is his highest since 2011, and he has 29 multihit games.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday at 8:59 p.m. PT. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15, on FOX.

On another forum I have seen a picture of some of my ancestors who lived in Kintyre towards the close of the nineteenth Century. Unfortunately the photo is not dated, but I would put it possibly 1875-1900.
Does anyone know the names of photographers in the area at that time? Photography would be juts becoming popular.
Apologies if this is the wrong section to post in. Any help would be appreciated.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington State Patrol detectives say they've gotten what they think is a credible tip that a self-professed minister accused of sexually abusing at least two girls at his religious fellowship in rural Minnesota has been seen in Raymond, near the Washington coast.
Patrol Lt. Shane Nelson said 52-year-old Victor Barnard reportedly was seen Wednesday leaving a fast-food restaurant in Raymond, heading toward nearby Aberdeen. Nelson says the man was driving a dark blue Audi and was accompanied by a woman.
The patrol says additional information places Barnard in the area in the previous week.
In April, the State Patrol checked out tips that Barnard was in the Spokane area.
The patrol says he's charged in Pine County, Minnesota, with 59 counts of sexual molestation of children. Two young women say they were abused for nearly a decade.
In 2000, Barnard set up what he called the "Shepherd's Camp" on land where girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 24 lived as part of his "Maidens Group."

It is rare that I blog about the same restaurant twice in a short span time. No, it is not that I am running out of ideas on where to eat but rather, Pan Heong's Wat Tan Hor (Flat Rice Noodle with egg gravy) is awesomely delicious that it is hard to resist not wanting to have another plate of the silky smooth flat noodle with thick egg yolk based gravy.
Yes folks, the food at Pan Heong is that good and this was clearly seen from the massive Sunday morning crowd who were all lining up patiently for a table to sit when I was there during my second visit. Make sure you order a plate of Wat Tan Hor as this is their signature dish. The first thing you will notice is how yellowish the gravy is.
The texture is akin to half boiled egg; thick, concentrated and mouth-watering.
While I am singing praises about its gravy, the noodles deserve some accolade as well.
It took a couple of attempts to take the picture below as the noodles kept sliding off the pair of chopsticks. Hands down, this is the best Wat Tan Hor ever.
The Mee Mamak is no slouch either. While my other half said that there was a tinge of 'kan sui' (lye water) smell, I couldn't taste it at all.
For a Chinese restaurant selling a dish which is more popularly known at Indian restaurants, I must say it is really impressive.
Just about every table at Pan Heong had a plate of Mee Mamak and that shows how good it is.
Sadly, the 'Nam Yue Fah Yuk' (deep fried pork with red fermented beancurd) wasn't up to my expectation that day.
It could be that we spent a lot of time photographing the dish and it became cold under the fan. The skin was not crispy enough. Still it won't deter me from ordering it again next time.
We also decided to try out their fish porridge for the first time after seeing customers slurping spoonful of porridge with 'tin kai' (frogs). We opt for the fish porridge instead and it didn't disappoint me.
Chunks of fish meat and century egg can be clearly seen from each scoop of porridge.
Being a porridge lover, I find the texture just right. Not too thick, not too watery.
The fish meat was certainly fresh and though I never like century egg, I didn't mind eating them at all that day.
This is the first time I seen crystalised century egg. Check out the texture.
It is really easy to recommend this place as my friends (and your truly) enjoyed eating the food that day. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with their signature dishes. I will definitely visit this place over and over again. Just remember to go there early to avoid the long queue.

Looking forward to this tour. Can anyone advise about age limits at the Southampton gig. I checked with the venue and they said under 14s with an adult are permitted. But see tickets says over 14s only? I don't want to buy 4 tickets and find we can't get in because I've brought my under 14s
Re: 2018 World Tour
We had the same confusion for the gig there in November 2015.
My son was just twelve at the time. We had no problem getting him in.
As long as he is accompanied by am adult there is no issue.

Re: 2018 World Tour
I'm seriously stoked that Lucero is along for the tour in the US. I've been thinking they'd make a great combo for a tour, a kind of country punk rock band and a punk rock country band.
Re: 2018 World Tour
Just wanted to thank Frank for making the long trek to Alaska. Was introduced to Frank's music by my older daughter, whose best friend when we lived in the UK in 1998, subsequently became acquainted with Frank, and suggested that my daughter might like Frank's music. She did, and so do my wife and I! Six of us geezers attended the show at Koot's in Anchorage. It was a great, intimate show. Having said that, I hope that Frank can return to play in a larger, more comfortable (for us senior citizens) venue! RE: slowmyke's comment below, I totally agree. My wife and I attended a Lucero concert at a local ski resort the weekend after Frank played in Anchorage. It, too, was great show. Can't think of a better combination for a concert.
Thanks again, Frank.
Thanks again, Frank.

Re: 2018 World Tour
I think that just leaves Hawaii, South Dakota and Wyoming that haven't been played? I bet not many bands have hit all the US states. That's some serious dedication to touring.

I'm hoping for a Frank Turner / Hell Caminos (featuring former Skinny Lister bassist Michael Camino) gig in Honolulu.

SEATTLE (AP) — Police in Washington state on Saturday arrested a 34-year-old man accused of stabbing a judge and shooting a sheriff's deputy in a courthouse struggle, one day after he fled the small town of Montesano.
Law enforcement officers in neighboring Thurston County took Steven Daniel Kravetz into custody Saturday afternoon at his mother's home in the state capital of Olympia, Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott said.
The gun taken from the deputy during Friday's courthouse attack and other evidence were recovered, he said.
Scott identified Kravetz earlier in the day as the lone assailant in Friday's attack that wounded Judge David Edwards and Deputy Polly Davin. Dozens of law enforcement officers had joined the manhunt for him.
Kravetz's mother called police to turn her son in after authorities released a flier with her photo and her son's photo Saturday, according to the Seattle Times.
Kravetz was the only one in the house at the time of the arrest and gave himself up voluntarily around 1:30 p.m., said Olympia Police Lt. Jim Costa. No one was injured.
"Why he was at the courthouse yesterday remains a mystery," Scott said, adding that his motive is unclear.
Scott said his deputies haven't had contact with Kravetz since a 2005 domestic violence incident that was handled in Grays Harbor District Court. More recently, Kravetz made a number of public information records requests related to that incident, he added.
In 2008, Steven Kravetz was convicted in Lewis County of third degree assault and making false or misleading statements to a public servant. He served 102 days on the charges, the Daily World of Aberdeen reported.
In that incident, Centralia police Sgt. Stacy Denham told the Seattle Times that Kravetz was arrested after he refused to cooperate with police after being kicked out of a Centralia public library.
Scott said courthouse witnesses identified Kravetz as the man who was behaving strangely in the courthouse Friday.
Around lunchtime Friday, Deputy Davin responded to a report of a suspicious person at the courthouse and confronted a man. During a struggle, she was stabbed with either a small knife or scissors. The judge intervened, striking the assailant, who then stabbed him, authorities said.
Davin reached for her gun, but it was wrestled away by the man, who shot twice, striking her in the shoulder before fleeing, Scott said.
Both the judge and the sheriff's deputy were treated and released from a hospital hours after the attack.
Kravetz fled the courthouse with the officer's .45-caliber handgun after the attack and showed up about an hour or so later at the office of his former attorney and asked to the use the phone, Scott said.
The attorney had represented Kravetz a number of years ago and "didn't know anything was up," Scott said.
Investigators believe Kravetz called his mom, identified as Roberta Dougherty, at about 3 p.m. and that she apparently gave him a ride out of the area, Scott said.
"We don't know what her knowledge or involvement is," the undersheriff said Saturday morning.

The many residents and visitors to the city enjoy 20 community parks, 6.8 miles of ridgeline trails, 2.3 miles of coastal trails, several championship golf courses, and over 20 acres of beautiful beaches.
San Clemente operates under a City Council / City Manager form of government.
The City Council consists of five members, elected at-large, for four-year overlapping terms of office. Non-partisan City elections are held in November of even-numbered years for Council Members. The City Council acts as the legislative body, to set policy, approve the budget, pass local laws which are incorporated into the Municipal Code, and to give direction on matters concerning the City.

Capital Corp. Merchant Banking, Inc. v. Corporate Colocation, Inc., No. 07-1626, 2008 WL 4058014 (M.D.Fla., August 27, 2008)
Professor Goldman points us to a recent decision in a case where the plaintiff alleged that one of the individual defendants "allowed [a co-defendant] to use 'a computer registered in her name' to make . . . defamatory statements." The defendants filed a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, arguing that the Communications Decency Act (CDA) at 47 U.S.C. 230 barred the claims. The court denied the motion.
With little analysis, the court cited to the 9th Circuit's Roommates.com decision, holding that "[t]he CDA provides immunity for the removal of content, not the creation of the content." While that is not an incorrect statement, it is troublesome in this context inasmuch as it tells half the story.
Yes, 47 U.S.C. 230(c) does provide protection to "Good Samaritan" operators of interactive computer services who remove offensive content. The user whose content has been removed would not have a cause of action against the operator who took down the content in good faith. See 47 U.S.C. 230(c)(2).
But 47 U.S.C. 230(c)(1) provides that no provider of an interactive computer service shall be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by a third party. Courts have usually held that when a defamation plaintiff brings a claim against the operator of the computer service used to post defamatory content (who was not responsible for creating the content), such a claim is barred, as the plaintiff would not be able to satisfy the publication element of a defamation prima facie case.
Maybe in this situation the court found that the defendant who let a co-defendant use her computer did not meet the definition of a service provider as contemplated by the CDA. But it would have been nice to see that analysis written down, rather than having to merely surmise or speculate.

If you were one of those Apple fans who believed Steve Jobs had near supernatural powers of product insight, you might identify with this new video that shows the late CEO as an anti-Android, lightsaber-wielding angel of death.
The video, created by Next Media, offers their characteristically over-the-top animated take illustrating the patent war between Apple and HTC over the latter company's Android implementation. We get to see the ghost of Jobs attack innocent Android users in parks, and even stop HTC phone shipments from reaching American shores, all via lightsaber, of course. You can check out the light-hearted play on Apple's patent war in the video below.

Evaluating the Safety and Immune Response to a Single Dose of a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine in RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01852266

|Condition or disease
|Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections
|Biological: RSV cps2 Vaccine Biological: Placebo Vaccine
|Phase 1
RSV is the most common viral cause of serious acute lower respiratory illness (LRI) in infants and children under 5 years of age around the world. RSV illness can range from mild upper respiratory tract illness (URI) to severe LRI, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an RSV vaccine in healthy RSV-naïve children.
At study entry, participants will undergo a medical history review, physical examination, blood collection, and a nasal wash. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the RSV vaccine or placebo at a 2:1 ratio, to be administered as nose drops. Subjects will be actively monitored for 28 days following administration of vaccine or placebo; monitoring will include medical history reviews, clinical assessments, and at some visits, nasal washes. On the days when no study visit is scheduled, study researchers will contact participants' parents or guardians for medical follow-up. At a study visit on Day 56, participants will undergo a medical history review, blood collection, and a nasal wash procedure.
From November through March following each subject's study participation, parents or guardians will report respiratory and/or febrile illnesses on a weekly basis via telephone calls to study researchers. Participants may have additional study visits that may include blood collection and/or nasal wash procedures during this follow-up period.
This protocol is a companion study to P1114; a study being conducted by the Center for Immunization Research (CIR, Johns Hopkins, Baltimore), and the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (NIAID, Bethesda). The protocols have identical primary and secondary objectives; immunization schedules; evaluation assays and schedules; safety monitoring and reporting. The protocols will vary slightly in site selection requirements, eligibility requirements and site monitoring. These are all operational issues modified to account for the IMPAACT sites' operations and infrastructure.

|A Phase I Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of the Recombinant Live-Attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine RSV cps2, Lot RSV#005A, Delivered as Nose Drops to RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children 6 to 24 Months of Age
|Study Start Date :
|October 2013
|Actual Primary Completion Date :
|July 2015
Experimental: RSV cps2 Vaccine
Participants will receive one dose of the RSV cps2 vaccine administered as nose drops at study entry.
Biological: RSV cps2 Vaccine
10^5.3 plaque forming units (PFUs) of RSV cps2 vaccine will be administered as nose drops (0.25 mL per nostril, for a total of 0.5 mL).
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants will receive one dose of placebo administered as nose drops at study entry.
Biological: Placebo Vaccine
Placebo vaccine will be administered as nose drops (0.25 mL per nostril, for a total of 0.5 mL).
- Frequency and severity of vaccine-related solicited adverse events (AEs) that occur during the acute monitoring phase of the study (Days 0-28) [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 28 ]
- Proportion of participants that develop 4-fold or greater rises in RSV neutralizing antibody titer following vaccination [ Time Frame: Measured through study follow-up period, up to 1 year after study entry ]Antibody responses to the RSV F glycoprotein will also be assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and the blogosphere to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
•Bosh won a suit against a cybersquatter, and gained control of 800 domain names. On a related note, welcome to Boshspin.
•Our top story this morning: In a preseason loss to the Celtics, Chris Bosh led all scorers with 21 points in just 28 minutes. He also added four boards and three assists, and is clearly primed for an MVP-caliber season.
•In non-Chris Bosh news, Michael Vick reportedly declined an invitation to visit with eight of his former pit bulls. Good move. I know a trap when I see one.
•Stafon Johnson appeared healthy and smiling, but didn't speak at a press conference yesterday. He's a walking metaphor for the Trojans: looks good, but falls silent under the spotlight.
•On the eve of the NLCS, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is separating from his wife. California is a community state, so the former Mrs. McCourt is entitled to exactly half. She will receive two losses to the Phillies.
•Boise State squeaked past Tulsa, probably the team with the best chance at ending the Broncos' undefeated season. And when you read that, you realize just how relative it is and why the BCS is a joke.
•Well, fuck it, if he can't heal himself, how can he be the Chosen One? LeBron has the flu, and he and the team is being tested for H1N1.
•Want to know how the young season is going for the Maple Leafs? Their defensemen are headbutting in own goals:

Pants, Button-up, Glasses: c/o Karen Kane, Shoes: Nine West, Bracelet: c/o Mimi's, Necklace and earrings: c/o Sparkle, Chain necklace: F21
I realized this morning that I am one of those people who goes through a general process in the mornings trying to get dressed. I mean yes, some days a strike of creative lightening strikes and I'm Ms. Gotittagetha britches, but lets be honest, most mornings I stand there with a blank-eyed stare in front of my closet, thirty minutes before I'm scheduled to leave the house without a clue. Hence the 8-step process.
1. Check legs for prickliness. Negative on the skirt.
2. Decide whether or not there is time to iron anyting. Decide that who am I kidding? Not a chance I would iron anything if I did have time.
3. Approach the minimally wrinkled section of my wardrobe. Black pants. Check. Brush off the dog hair which somehow manages to land on every immobile (and some mobile) surface of my bedroom.
4. Take a break to go pack lunch.
5. Asses the weather situation for the day to determine whether layering would be within the remote realm of possibilities. Nope. Not unless I want to sweat my tush butt off. Option B: Button-up.
6. Throw on whatever gold jewelry I can get my hands on in about 10 seconds.
7. Hair in pony, concealer applied.
8. Decide I look like an 80-year old and add stacked sandals to ammend.
And the glasses round out the whole mascara-free bit and we're done. Oh and imagine the gracefulness of this process as I'm sleepy and grumpy, partially blind, and 80 percent uncoordinated. Ok, that's about right.
Happy Monday.
