I've had better cleaning coming by for several months now to my home. They've done a spectacular job and freed up hours of my weekend that I couldn't spend with my family while I cleaned. Dan is extremely professional and is eager to ensure you are satisfied with the quality of the work. Alley stops by once a week, usually while we are at work, and she has been consistent in her quality/effort and very pleasant to talk to. I have two small children and we are two working parents, so she definitely has her work cut out for her every week. I would recommend better cleaning to any busy parents in the area.

Dan cleaned my son's apartment in Schenectady, which he and other college students were living in. Dan was prompt, reliable, and flexible about what shape the apartment might be in each week.

Dan Burke cleaned my son's college apartment through-out the senior year of college. The service was reliable and flexible around the schedule of the boys. Dan was personable to deal with and always pleasant--whether he found the apartment in great shape or in need of lots of muscle-power. The cost was reasonable and we felt we could trust that each week the apartment would be left in very good shape. I would recommend this service to any college in that area or anyone with a college student in need of cleaning assistance.

ALDS Game 2 pregame
CLEVELAND — Not a whole heckuva lot going on right now minus waiting for the first pitch here at Jacobs Field. Word has it that Queen Latifah is in the house — maybe she'll don a Yanks' cap like LeBron did here last night.
The most entertaining thing that's happened here pregame was myself and a couple other writers spending about 15 minutes quoting the Big Lebowski — the single greatest comedy of all time. If you're not down with the Dude, well then, obviously, you're not a golfer. In honor of the Big Lewbowski, a few of us might actually go bowling tonight.
Of course, maybe the highlight was actually last night after Game 1, when Bryan Hoch — our Yankees' writer — busted out quite an impressive impression of Anchorman's Ron Burgandy (You know I don't speak spanish). Hoch was also quick to bring up a picture on his phone, showing him dressed as San Diego's favorite anchorman for Halloween. Quality.
When we're not quoting our favorite flicks, we do actually run around and do some work, though. On the Yanks' side, Hideki Matsui is still in the lineup, despite a recent slump and some right knee issues. New York manager Joe Torre said Matsui was fine to play, and he didn't want to make a decision to bench him based on one game. For the Tribe, Kenny Lofton (3-for-4 with four RBIs on Thursday) started in left field against lefty Andy Pettitte, sending Franklin Gutierrez to the bench.

Do you see what happens, Larry?
Your watching a classic in Cleveland tonight. Is there anything better in sports than a pitcher's duel in October?
Cabrera struggled in September and accounts for the only run so far.
Ever since Game 4 of the A.L.C.S. in 2004, A-Rod in October looks totally lost!!!
31 pitches-nice first inning by Dice-K. Keeps going that way and he might last 3 innings. lol
I think Frank Thomas is doing a great job.
Great game by the Tribe.
I work outside (good part of the year), have lived on the west coast and in ontario. In all my life I have never heard of "canadian soldier" flying ants , can somebody please enlighten me or is a another phrase like "canadian" bacon ?
Great job by the tribe tonight and a great pitchers duel
Nevermind I checked…….soldier ants and flying ants but NO "canadian soldier flying ants". I can sleep easier tonight …lol…take care all
I'm glad we could help you out girl.
I must say that the Cleveland and Yankee series has really entertained me. I am more of a Blue Jays fan then a baseball fan but even this series has got me intrigued. It's also fan to watch A-rod struggle. Based on entertainment value so far I think i'll adopt Cleveland as the team i'll root for in the playoffs.
A-Rod went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts last night and is now 4-for-47 with zero RBIs in his last 14 playoffs games.
At 27 mill + bonuses per year A-Rod is definately a money player-only problem is he goes on holidays every October. Lol
I think everyone under estimated Cleveland's pitching. So far in this series their pitching has dominated the Yanks. Conversely, it highlights the Yanks main weakness-the bullpen-other than Joba and Riviera.
Carmona was exceptional last night and is a solid candiate for the Cy Young award along with Sabathia.
Let's hope we have the same quality next year with Halliday, Burnett, McGowan and Marcum
Well, there are some good things about 2007.
We're now finishing paying our portion of Henskie and Koskies contracts. That saves us $6.57 mill per year. Jordan, has there been any update on Koskie's condition, is he expected to recover and play again?
In addition, we will no longer be paying for Towers, Royce, Okha, Phillips, Thompson, Zambrano, etc which saves us an aggregate of $7.9 mill per year.
Zaun only made 110 starts in 2007. His contract included a player option for 2009 if he played in 270 games in 2007-2008. That now seems very unlikely.
The other really good news is the Canadian dollar appreciation. Approximately 1 year ago (when all the budgets were likely done for 2007) the dollar traded in the 0.85 US range; now it's 1.01-that is a 20% difference.
This has huge impact on the Jays since all of the players salaries are paid in US dollars. Assuming a player payroll of $90 mill in 2007 as an example-the difference is about $18 mill going into 2008.
It might mean JP has more flexibility in 2008 than he's letting us know.
Let's spend it wisely for 2008.
Another brilliant analysis by gaysumner, you're a Fu c kin' genius. You'll go down in history as that, just like your Mom goes down on that *** bosoxbrian. Your Mom is a 'ho. I shi t on your head, and I sh it on bosox's head. bosox your Mom is a 'ho too!!
You really do typlify a Yankees fan. Brash, vulgar, low class and limited intelligence.
Too bad your Yanks are down 2-0. Oh well, soon they'll be gone.

The following diagram illustrates the process of collecting, managing, aggregating and reporting Conflict Minerals data from suppliers:
For those suppliers holding iPCMP licenses themselves, data collection will tie in with their accounts, which simplifies monitoring of requests as well as submission of declarations. The following diagram shows the data collection process flow for iPCMP-enabled suppliers:
It is anticipated that not all your suppliers will sign up for iPCMP. Those companies that are not making use of iPCMP will be contacted and asked to provide declarations outside of iPCMP via an Excel template. iPoint will then import these declarations to the iPCMP system so that you have a complete view of your suppliers' data.
We offer two choices of workflows for creating a report:
Choose this option if you already have a Conflict Minerals report on your hands (either in the form of an CFSI/CMRT excel file, or in the form of a report stored in the iPCMP database).
This workflow lets you import the data from your existing report(s) into the application, and "roll up" its/their content together with other reports from your suppliers. In the end you will have created a single report which represents an aggregated testimony about the Conflict Minerals status of all the supplier and own reports it contains.
Choose this option if you want to create a conflict minerals report from scratch. This option can, for example, take effect
iPCMP will guide you through the procedure of how to complete a Conflict Minerals form. It will generate a report which you can

- About USCCB
The Book of Tobit, named after its principal character, combines Jewish piety and morality with folklore in a fascinating story that has enjoyed wide popularity in both Jewish and Christian circles. Prayers, psalms, and words of wisdom, as well as the skillfully constructed story itself, provide valuable insights into the faith and the religious milieu of its unknown author. The book was probably written early in the second century B.C.; it is not known where.
Tobit, a devout and wealthy Israelite living among the captives deported to Nineveh from the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722/721 B.C., suffers severe reverses and is finally blinded. Because of his misfortunes he begs the Lord to let him die. But recalling the large sum he had formerly deposited in far-off Media, he sends his son Tobiah there to bring back the money. In Media, at this same time, a young woman, Sarah, also prays for death, because she has lost seven husbands, each killed in turn on his wedding night by the demon Asmodeus. God hears the prayers of Tobit and Sarah and sends the angel Raphael in human form to aid them both.
Raphael makes the trip to Media with Tobiah. When Tobiah is attacked by a large fish as he bathes in the Tigris River, Raphael orders him to seize it and to remove its gall, heart, and liver because they are useful for medicine. Later, at Raphael's urging, Tobiah marries Sarah, and uses the fish's heart and liver to drive Asmodeus from the bridal chamber. Returning to Nineveh with his wife and his father's money, Tobiah rubs the fish's gall into his father's eyes and cures him. Finally, Raphael reveals his true identity and returns to heaven. Tobit then utters his beautiful hymn of praise. Before dying, Tobit tells his son to leave Nineveh because God will destroy that wicked city. After Tobiah buries his father and mother, he and his family depart for Media, where he later learns that the destruction of Nineveh has taken place.
The inspired author of the book used the literary form of religious novel (as in Esther and Judith) for the purpose of instruction and edification. The seemingly historical data, names of kings, cities, etc., are used as vivid details not only to create interest and charm, but also to illustrate the negative side of the theory of retribution: the wicked are indeed punished.
Although the Book of Tobit is usually listed with the historical books, it more correctly stands midway between them and the wisdom literature. It contains numerous maxims like those found in the wisdom books (cf. 4:3–19, 21; 12:6–10; 14:7, 9) as well as standard wisdom themes: fidelity to the law, intercessory function of angels, piety toward parents, purity of marriage, reverence for the dead, and the value of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. The book makes Tobit a relative of Ahiqar, a noted hero of ancient Near Eastern wisdom literature and folklore.
Written most likely in Aramaic, the original of the book was lost for centuries. Fragments of four Aramaic texts and of one Hebrew text were discovered in Qumran Cave 4 in 1952 and have only recently been published. These Semitic forms of the book are in substantial agreement with the long Greek recension of Tobit found in Codex Sinaiticus, which had been recovered from St. Catherine's Monastery (Mount Sinai) only in 1844, and in mss. 319 and 910. Two other Greek forms of Tobit have long been known: the short recension, found mainly in the mss. Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, Venetus, and numerous cursive mss.; and an intermediate Greek recension, found in mss. 44, 106, 107. The Book of Tobit has also been known from two Latin versions: the long recension in the Vetus Latina, which is closely related to the long Greek recension and sometimes is even closer to the Aramaic and Hebrew texts than the Greek is; and the short recension in the Vulgate, related to the short Greek recension. The present English translation has been based mainly on Sinaiticus, which is the most complete form of the long Greek recension, despite two lacunae (4:7–19b and 13:6i–10b) and some missing phrases, which make succeeding verses difficult to understand and make it necessary to supplement Sinaiticus from the Vetus Latina or from the short Greek recension. Occasionally, phrases or words have been introduced from the Aramaic or Hebrew texts, when they are significantly different. Forms of the Book of Tobit are also extant in ancient Arabic, Armenian, Coptic (Sahidic), Ethiopic, and Syriac, but these are almost all secondarily derived from the short Greek recension.
The divisions of the Book of Tobit are:

Summary and Keywords
The Caste Wars of the Yucatán tore apart the peninsula between 1847 and 1901. While the violence was not constant throughout the more than five decades between the start and conclusion of the war itself, the threat of rebel hostilities was ever present. Scholars have debated the origins of the war for many decades, with most recent academic treatments focusing on heavy tax burdens, poor working conditions for Yucatán's peasantry, and the loss of land that occurred during the second half of the century. Tensions between political leaders exacerbated relations with the Mayas in particular and the peasantry more generally. The emergence of the breakaway state of Chan Santa Cruz, in the southeastern part of Yucatán, allowed rebel forces to coalesce between 1850 and the early 1870s. Here, a "Speaking Cross" oracle gave direction to the rebellious Mayas, who crushed their enemies and exacted revenge against those who would not support their cause. The emergence of Porfirio Díaz as President of Mexico in 1876 led to a gradual "reconquest" of the areas held by the cruzob, or "people of the Cross." By 1901, the Mexican military ended the Caste Wars, though violent episodes still marred Yucatán until the early 1930s.
Keywords: indigenous rebellions, history of Mexico 1810–1910, Mayas, history of Yucatán

There is none worthy of worship except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful
May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you!
Ahmadi Muslims believe that Holy Prophet (saw) was the last law bearing prophet and Shariah has completed and Holy Quran is the final and complete book, and there can be no prophet who can bring a new Shariah. Other Muslims also believe that.
Ahmadi Muslims believe that no new prophet can come who is an independent prophet outside Islam. Other Muslims also believe that.
Ahmadi Muslims believe that only an Ummati (follower) of the Holy Prophet (saw) can be a prophet subordinate to the Holy Prophet (saw) according to the teachings of Holy Quran and Hadith. Other Muslims also believe this but they do not say it openly. How?
Non-Ahmadi Muslims say that Jesus son of Mary (a prophet) will become Ummati (follower). Ahmadi Muslims say that an Ummati (follower) will be raised as a prophet under the Shariah and subordinate to Holy Prophet(saw). Whether an Ummati becomes a prophet or a prophet becomes an Ummati, the concept remains the same i.e. Ummati prophet.
The only differene is in the personality of that promised person, whether an old prophet of Bani Israel becomes a follower of Holy Prophet (saw) or a follower of Holy Prophet (saw) by following his perfect Shariah and teaching can become his subordinate prophet. There is absolutely no other difference in the understanding of Khatam-e-Nabuwwat. Anyone who says Ahmadi Muslims do not believe in Khatam-e-Nabuwwat is a liar and has no basis of that.
Now if we ponder over the Holy Quran and Ahadith it becomes clear that Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) who was a prophet towards Bani Israel and lived on the earth 2000 years ago died like all other human beings and prophets. So it means that whoever is promised in the Ummah is to be born in this Ummah. There is enough evidence of this in Quran and Hadith to support it. For more study please visit Official Website of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
Reply to False and Poisonous Propaganda by Mullahs
The fact that this propaganda is totally baseless and false is enough proof of the falsehood of the opponents of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at. No one in the world would use the force and put legal hurdles to suppress the message of their opponents unless they lack arguments. This suppression is against logic and against their own interest to "expose" Ahmadiyyat. Every attempt that is made to suppress the message of Ahmadiyyat is another proof of their utter defeat and an acceptance that they devoid any rationale and arguments in favour of their distorted beliefs.

Facebook stock is all the buzz in the tech world right now...and so is the CEO's wardrobe.
Wall Street analysts slammed Mark Zuckerberg for wearing a hoodie while meeting with investors in New York this week, ahead of the company's much-anticipated IPO.
"He's actually showing investors he doesn't care that much; he's going to be him," analyst Michael Pachter told Bloomberg TV. "I think that's a mark of immaturity."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Pachter goes on to observe that Zuckerberg should show a little more respect toward investors, because he is asking for their money.
Zuckerberg, however, has plenty of people on his side. Dave McClure, founder of 500 Startups, started the Twitter hashtags #LovetheHoodie and #HatetheGame. Others have compared Zuckerberg's casual style to that of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who rarely strayed from his black turtlenecks and New Balance shoes.
So how will the investors view Zuckerberg's style? As a sign of disrespect? Or perhaps self-confidence? Only time will tell.
Facebook's IPO is set for May 18th.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Strike three! Homers take more brain than muscle
Q. In the classic 1888 poem "Casey at the Bat," he clenches his teeth in hate as he violently pounds his bat upon the plate, then takes his final swing. Unfortunately, there was no joy in Mudville that day as mighty Casey struck out. Does modern neuroscience offer any clues about what went wrong? –J. Jane
A. Modern biomechanists know that to hurl a fastball, the pitcher must muster 3-4 horsepower, using 24-32 pounds of muscle mostly in his back and thighs, says John Milton (not that John Milton) in Your Brain on Cubs. Because this necessitates a careful kinetic sequence, the windup is loaded with clues for the batter, whose "mirror neurons" can help signal the type of pitch that's coming. "This may help explain the fact that a great pitcher, Babe Ruth, was also one of the greatest home run hitters of all time," Milton says poetically.
To counter the batter "reading the windup," the pitcher uses deception and distraction, sometimes throwing pitches with unpredictable trajectories like the knuckleball. "The neural programs inside the hitter's brain will work best if he attends only to the most relevant information."
So why did Casey strike out? From a brain perspective, says Milton, he ignored the first two pitches (no contribution to anticipatory skill), he was angry (irrelevant information), and he played to the crowd (distraction of attention). "The take-home message from Casey's fate is that hitting requires not just muscle strength but also a focused, fine-tuned brain."
Q. Why is the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hurling thawed dead birds at 200 mph into a machine that shreds the carcasses into thousands of tiny pieces? –A. Hitchcock
A. Ubiquitous high-flying flocks of birds collide with commercial aircraft, causing an estimated $1 billion damage worldwide every year, says Clara Moskowitz in Discover magazine. So the FAA simulates inflight collisions to monitor potential damage to aircraft engines: In one "bird strike" test, technicians at General Electric's facility in Peebles, Ohio, suspend an engine from a giant stand, then start its turbines spinning full force before loading four thawed goose carcasses into a 50-foot-long steel tube and firing them at 200 mph into the engine blades.
Passing the test with flying colors was a GEnx jet engine intended for the 787 Dreamline, to be delivered to Japan. So far, real bird carcasses have been used, but synthetics are now being developed–less messy and easier to standardize.
Taking a different approach, the U.S. Air Force's Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard prevention program is culling data to map bird routes to help planes avoid sharing airspace with large flocks.
Q. It's often said that gentlemen prefer blondes, and in many Western cultures surveys confirm this. But does this make men happier? What might an economist argue? –J. Frost
A. Think in terms of marketplace value, says Robert Frank in The Economic Naturalist: In Search of Explanations for Everyday Enigmas. According to "assortative mating," 10's tend to marry 10's, 9's tend to marry 9's, and so on. For example, a 9-point man might hope to marry a 10-point woman, but she would have better options, so he can more realistically expect to marry a 9-point woman.
For people of either sex, a wide variety of mixes of personal characteristics could produce an overall index value of 9. So if being blonde contributes positively to a woman's attractiveness index, then a 9-point blonde will tend to have less favorable values than a 9-point brunette for all other characteristics that enter the mix.
"On the average, a 9-point blonde will be less healthy, less intelligent, less kind, and less pretty on dimensions other than hair color," Frank says. "So if a gentleman could choose to prefer brunettes, he might have good reasons for doing so."
Oh, well, who ever said economists always know best.
Q. Classic numbers noodler directs you to write down any multi-digit number without repeat digits, e.g., 8491 but not 8498, then rearrange the digits anywhichway (e.g., 1498), then subtract the smaller number from the larger (8491 - 1498 = 6993). Now add up the digits in your answer (6 + 9 + 9 + 3 = 27). If this yields a multi-digit number, tally the digits again (2 + 7 = 9). What number did you end up with? See the trick here? –R. Descartes
A. Whatever your original number, your answer will always be 9, once you arrive at a single digit, says California State Polytechnic University mathematician Laurie Riggs. "Amazing!"
Q. Don't laugh. It was hard work developing the flush toilet. For instance, careful thought had to go into what test materials to use in simulated flushings, for certainly the real stuff was inadvisable. What did the developer use? –M. Clean
A. As recounted in the book Flushed with Pride: The Story of Thomas Crapper, one of his early "super-flushes" successfully cleared away 10 apples averaging 1 3/4 inch in diameter, 3 air vessels, a pan coated with plumber's "Smudge" and four pieces of paper adhering to the soiled surface.

Pop music's reigning queen has already conquered the world of "Glee" with the recent "The Power of Madonna" episode, and now series star Lea Michele wants the prince of pop to go choir.
"I think Justin Timberlake would be great," Lea told Access Hollywood when asked which artist's music she wants on the hit FOX show, when Access caught up with her at Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala in New York City on Tuesday night.
"But, I think he's too perfect, so I think they're probably saving him for awhile," she continued, adding, "I would be fine with some 'SexyBack' that's for sure."
Lea said making the magazine's list was "very surreal."
As for her own influences, the 23-year-old credits Barbara Streisand, Kate Winslet and her mom for helping to shape her life.
"I think just all women who are incredible positive role models," she said of the women whom she admires. "Just really strong women are wonderfully influential."

Posted by Bob Lefebvre
Recently Terry Korolyk spotted an interesting hawk on Hwy 549 just west of Hwy 773, south of Calgary. Terry says it is an intergrade Harlan's light phase Red-tailed Hawk.
Terry says:
Thought some Birds Calgary viewers might like to see what this bird looked like. The underparts are obviously a mix of both subspecies. The underside of the tail is obviously white with duskiness near the tip. The upperside of the tail was, in reality, white with a reddish subterminal band and 2 narrower wavy reddish bands adjacent to that.
Photographed by Terry Korolyk on April 6, 2012. Click to enlarge.
To fully appreciate the bird in the photo, look at images of adult Harlan's Hawks and of adult Eastern Red-tails, then look at my bird again. Rather than blackish underparts with a white streaked throat like a Harlan's Hawk, or, rather than having white underparts with a strongly streaked belly like an Eastern Red-tail, you have a bird with underparts markings that meet in between. The upperparts are clearly blackish like a Harlan's Hawk, but they also have that Eastern Red-tail brownish cast. The tail was white like a Harlan's Hawk, but, rather than having a dusky tip, it had 3 narrow wavy reddish lines there indicating normal light-phase Eastern Red-tail association.
As Terry says, the usual Red-tailed Hawks here are the Eastern subspecies, and "Harlan's" Hawks are considered to be another subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk. At one time, Harlan's Hawk was considered to be a separate species entirely. Intergrades like the one above indicate that they are varieties of one species (many people believe that Harlan's is a separate species; perhaps genetic testing will settle this question).
The Harlan's Hawk is very different from all other Red-tailed Hawk subspecies. In both its dark and light forms it has black and white plumage, lacking the reds and browns of other Red-tails. The tail, however, can have a wide variety of patterns. Harlan's Hawk breeds in Alaska and northwestern Canada and winters on the southern great plains. We see them occasionally in Calgary in the winter months, when most other Red-tailed Hawks are absent.

Flights to Austria with Qatar Airways
Enjoying a grand status as a key player in the political and economic spheres of Europe and the world at large, Austria has seen enormous growth over the past few years.
Travel to Austria with Qatar Airways and can explore the glorious Habsburg past, which is especially impressive in Vienna, the capital.
Austria's beautiful Danube valley and the Alps, fairytale castles and the music of Mozart is a draw for visitors from all around the world.
The country has one of Europe's most dramatic landscapes, with the especially mountainous regions of Tyrol and Voralberg that feature on the postcard image of Austria as one vast ski resort. Visitors like to take trips down the Danube, which is overlooked by the romantic ruins of castles such as Aggstein in the Wachau region.
The traditional heartland of the country is in the northeast, where Vienna stands, while the eastern region is home to most of the population and industry.
The main attractions of Austria for visitors lie in the capital Vienna, and in the ski resorts around Innsbruck to the west. Between the two you can explore a dramatic landscape dotted with medieval cities like Graz and Salzburg, and the ruins of monasteries and castles, while in the Salzkammergut region you will find astounding and scenic lakes.
Austria is synonymous with a string of famous musical names, from Haydn and Mozart to Schubert, Mahler and the Strauss family.
The great flowering of creativity here was in the late 19th century, when architecture, painting and design flourished. Today, influences of the past still linger in a budding music and arts scene that you can explore when you fly to Austria with Qatar Airways.

They sure did. No warning either. I was shocked because I didn't realize I had broken the "no mention of the old thread rule".
If I read her reply correctly, she is canonically Latin, but sounded as if she is involved with/attending a Byzantine parish
Nov 8, '07, 8:59 amAristokles Aristokles is offlineJunior Member Join Date: December 19, 2004Posts: 14Default Re: First Thread - New ForumSo, as I understand this now, we in the "Holy Orthodox Catholic Church of the East" (a canonical name of our communion), which has never ceased referring to itself as the "Catholic Church" must now refrain from using the term "Orthodox Catholic" (itself an accommodation to those in the communion of the Church of Rome which also appropriates the name "Catholic Church"). Even "Eastern Orthodox" is a western derived term and technically foreign to us. I guess we could consider ourselves "Catholic Not in Communion with Rome"? Probably not.To me, our participation here under this new requirement (and home in NCR) is tantamount to our saying that the Communion of Rome is correct and we are wrong. That I cannot do.
I am sorry to learn of your banning.I actually liked to read some of your stuff!Ok, ok, it's not like we agreed on several points. That doesn't matter, if we all agreed all of the time we would not have a reason to converse. I think your banning was a big mistake, when I saw it under your name I momentarily stopped breathing...I was pretty shocked.It looks like there will be no one left to represent the Eastern Catholic point of view, or a balanced attempt, besides HailMary and Daiseegirl before long My posting, like my patience and my temper, have reduced considerably. I have taken up baking ...my goal is the perfect prosphora Yeast and flour don't raise my anxiety level nearly as much as these theological concerns.Michael
It looks like there will be no one left to represent the Eastern Catholic point of view, or a balanced attempt, besides HailMary and Daiseegirl before long
I didn't even get a reason. Just the one that says I can't access anything. I guess I am left to speculate. Perhaps I tried to understand Orthodoxy to much and as such also understood the Vaticans encouragement of the Eastern Catholics to preserve their theology and custom. This caused me to denounce a couple of misunderstandings about latinizations in a couple of threads.
Merely for documentation purposes I am showing the post (still existent) for which I, too, received instant, but virtual banning on the Catholic Excuses Forum. To wit:yes, I posted this as a test to verify the draconian measures being made there. I too received my banishment notice upon attempting re-log in 30 minutes later. And my account still does not note "Banned"forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?p=2942976#post2942976
I just don't visit there anymore...shake the sand from yer shoes, sneakers, boots, sandals etc and move on
Well from what I managed to see on the Essence and Energies thread tonight there will be very few folk of any stripe before long.I'm sure I have seen Daisiegirl under another name somewhere < scratching head >
I took a post of the old Hesychists-are-ditheists of that thread, along the response to your post to this basically telling you "if you can't stand the heat...."I started a new thread in Apologetics (I meant NCR, but was helping my son with his homework are missed where I put it) and post it.The thread was locked within 5 minutes, with a post (and link) that it was a duplicate thread, and the link led back to ECath. My response wasn't moved, though.soo I guess can't wander off the reservation....
Brother Michael,Thanks for using the old avatar, family members think its me with...hairjames
TO ISA...I see that somone is trying to cause you grief over the use of the U word in the thread "If Catholic & EO unite, who can be Pope?"You could remind that person that a moderatorial decision was rendered, more than once, that the word and its derivatives are permissible when used correctly.This message from Heracleides in the link below contain references to two occasions when a member of the CAF Moderatorial staff approved it...............Ooops, just deleted the link since it was to another Forum. Will send it via e-mail.
Actual Byzantine Catholics are very few and far between on Internet fora (which is why we are all the more thankful for people like Irish Melkite, to correct all the bizarre misinformation, with an authentic voice)... of course, they are getting harder and harder to find even in Byzantine Catholic parishes, so as goes the world, so goes the Web
Every Orthodox is still free to post at CAF, just re register and post your questions to apologetics section
Rich, that has to be you, - yes?Thank you for the kind words. Long time no see, although I catch your occasional postings to the e-group. Hope all is well with you, my friend.Many years,Neil
Dear Marlo,There are approximately 13 of us who have received this message (some have different reasons given):______________________________Your account has been locked for the following reason:Excess mod/admin resources required to monitor acct.This change will be lifted: Never______________________________Fr Ambrose
I've joined the banned ones<<Your account has been locked for the following reason:Sock PuppetryThis change will be lifted: Never>>
The anquish has actually caused me to be physically ill. I can't descern if this is justice or discrimination
*Dear Joab,I can sympathize with you as a fellow bannee and I think that some of the CAF employees have acted, and are still acting, abominably. BUT don't allow it to effect you to the point of making you ill. The best way to deal with it is to summon up our spiritual reserves and pray for the people responsible. "Pray for those who deal with you despitefully" - good religious advice and good psychological advice and it will take the knot away from your stomach. So, all of us here who have been cast out of CAF -- let's form a chain of prayer for those who have dealt with us wrongly.Fr Ambrose
Umm. No they're not:"Sock puppetry" is registering under another name.
30. Using "sock puppet" identities to deceive others, promote an agenda, bolster one's own credibility, filibuster, or engage in debate with oneself in furtherance of a point of view
Actually, CAF permits multiple nicks - one of the few fora which do so. In its banned topics list, it has a specific definition of "sock puppetry" as a prohibited practice.
Is this place hanging up incredibly tonight, or is just me? (not happening to me elsewhere)
*The last 12 hours for me. Pages simply refuse to finish loading.
I see that paradoxy got axed and she must have been a real pain LOL because she has banned under her name. While you didn't come out and say it, I think it's only right to not even imply the word. - Cleveland, GMSorry, the comment was totally tongue in cheek, as I can't fathom why she was banned, let alone why such a lady merited such "special" treatment.
I have suddenly found myself in a strange dilemma. I suppose I was benign enough to not get banned at CAF. But now I cannot join the banned club. I am a misfit! Ah, but I still have Michael (Hesychios).
Hello,Isalmisry, too.Since its Christmas, you could all start singing along with Rudolph:Why am I such a misfit?I am not just a nit wit!You can't banish meI quit!Seems I don't fit in.

God bless you, Isa, but I know exactly why I was banned and it was because I willingly and knowingly broke official forum rules - i.e. I publicly discussed moderator actions when I posted that people were getting secretly banned. The offending posts were, naturally, removed
Welcome to all the new bannees/refugees from CAF!!! Pretty soon, CAF just won't even be worth logging onto (he said, with tongue firmly in cheek!).As I expected, no one ever replied to me from CAF re: my post to them, me being me, I sent them this: I sent you the following message last week, and have yet to receive a reply. I wonder if someone there would show me the courtesy and decency of sending me a meaningful reply?Many thanks,JeffPreviously sent message:Glory to Jesus Christ!Dear Forum Admin folks,As part of the clearing out of "offending" Orthodox Christians from CAF, my account was permanently locked, with, apparently, no opportunity for appeal. That is fine--it's your web site and you may obviously do with it what you please. I understand, however, that you are still showing me and others whose accounts have also been locked as active posters, showing us as junior, regular, senior members or whatever. Is this not just a little bit disingenuous and intellectually dishonest? If we have been, in effect banned, why not show us as such? You could at least indicate that our accounts have been permanently locked and that we are completely unable to participate on your forum except to read posts as "guests". Would that be problematic? By showing us as active posters you are completely misleading all your other posters. Does that not concern you? Even a little bit?I very much look forward to hearing from you with your response.Happy Thanksgiving!In Christ,Jeff ("Ziggernaut")We'll see. I ain't holdin' my breath!God bless,Jeff
Welcome to the island of misfit toys!
Allow me to read between the lines and answer as if I were a CAF moderator:Dear Jeff,Thank you for your correspondence. Many Roman and Eastern Catholics were converting to Holy Orthodoxy based on the truth and the strength of the Orthodox position. Furthermore, those Roman and Eastern Catholics who did not convert, were complaining bitterly because they could not gain an advantage in any of the debates. There was no choice but to ban everyone wholesale.Peace and blessings,Mickey, psuedo-moderator
Or......Dear Mickey,Being a Catholic Answers Forum, we cannot tolerate free and open discussion between Catholics and non-Catholics. No questions allowed, as they may threaten us theologically. Therefore, only answers of a Roman Catholic nature will be discussed. Any violation or perceived violation of this policy will result in immediate and permanent banning.We hope you will enjoy your experience with us.God Bless,Jeffpseudo-/retired-/non-moderator

Give Presley privacy
I am saddened to see the city is still harassing Shirley Presley ["Quash game: How many subpoenas does a code violation need?" News, June 17].
Her only wish is that people stay off her private property. I would hope that as much time and effort will go into harassing real criminals.
A better story would be to examine the kind lady who lives on Bland Circle and what has driven her to this measure.
She has been living on a "razor's edge" every day with law-breaking criminals harassing her and trespassing on her property. Will they please leave her in peace? She is a senior citizen who deserves better treatment.

Story Pirates
The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA
Saturday, September 15th @ 2pm
Story Pirates, a nationally respected education and media organization and creators of the pre-Broadway workshop, FOUND, perform a hilarious and kid friendly show presented by the Berkshire Theatre Group at The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA on September 15th, 2012 at 2pm… and Hilltown Families has a family 4-pack of tickets to giveaway! Win a pack of tickets and take your family for a delightful Saturday afternoon performance! Deadline to enter to win: Wednesday, Sept. 12th, 2012 at 7pm (EST). More details below.
While many children's theater troupes tell stories to kids, the Story Pirates believe that every child has a story to tell! The process begins by collecting stories from local kids — whether it's a world where cats can fly or a rock opera about fuzzy alien tickle monsters, the Pirates will turn any short story into a hilarious sketch comedy musical! Described as "Monty Python meets Schoolhouse Rock," this show is different every time, and includes a story that's improvised onstage based on suggestions from the kids in the audience. Story Pirates is pitched perfectly to grown-ups and kids alike!
Story Pirates was founded in 2003 by a group of people seeking to bring quality education programs to under-resourced New York City public schools. The Pirates approach was to show kids everywhere that their ideas, their words, and their stories are important. They made kids' own stories the basis for a big, loud, outrageous, musical sketch comedy show; because they believe kids' imaginations are worth cultivating and ought to be celebrated. Story Pirates now operates branches in both New York and Los Angeles, and serves to over two hundred and fifty schools and community-based organizations annually around the country. Find out more about Story Pirates at www.storypirates.org.
The Colonial Theatre, founded in 1903, and Berkshire Theatre Festival, founded in 1928, are two of the oldest cultural organizations in the Berkshires. Having united in November of 2010 under the leadership of Artistic Director and CEO Kate Maguire, these two institutions are providing the Berkshires and beyond with the finest in live theatre, music, dance and the visual arts on five stages in Berkshire County, including The Colonial Theatre. The Colonial in Pittsfield (780 seats) re-opened in August of 2006, following a $21 million restoration, and boasts pristine acoustics, classic gilded age architecture and state-of-the-art technical systems. For more information on BTF call 413-298-5536 or go online to www.BerkshireTheatreGroup.org.
We're putting together a BUCKET LIST of things to do and places to see in Western MA with the family in the fall (Sept-Dec).

For all my poetry-loving, zombie-killing pals, have I got something for you.
It's "Zombie Haiku" by Ryan Mecum.
The Web site for the book includes a list of zombie haiku by celebrities including other horror writers, comedians and poet laureates.
Here's an example of one of the celebrity submissions.
"Back to the buffet
for second helpings-
Care for a rump of infant?"
– Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate and author of the lovely Ballistics: Poems
There are also haiku written in the style of famous poets past.
"Zombie Haiku by Robert Frost
Two lobes in the skull.
I eat the bloodier one –
not much difference."
It looks like a bloody, brainy fun read.
Lots of people give poetry books for Valentine's Day. Don't you think Newscoma would appreciate such a gift?

That is sweet and heartwarming.
I think I love BFing for mostly practical reasons. The first thing that popped into my head was that I can go out without packing food and get by. Yesterday I was out and met another mom who invited us out for a play date and I had no food or extra diapers with me for Anna. Anna had a nap on me in the ergo and I bought sushi for me and mostly finished it before Anna woke up. I bought a banana, some cheddar bunnies and a couple of mandarins and we had lunch, though she didn't have much of it and would have been ok without. We lucked out and didn't need a diaper change and we made the play date. I don't have to take bottles with me and for that I am thankful because there was a time when I did and it was a royal pain.
On the cuteness side, I find it pretty amusing when she finishes nursing, rolls over and then looks back at me and sees a boob out so she makes a lunge back for it and will try and nurse in some pretty interesting positions.

Have you read the book Lies My Teacher Told Me? I did a while back, and I loved it.
It explores the problems with the way public school teach history - dry Eurocentric facts with idolized heros. It's at least partially the result of textbook publishers making books that sell well rather than books that tell the truth.
Anyway, homeschoolers have the lucky advantage of controlling their own history lessons, so it might be a good read to see what your history curriculum is missing.
Book: Lies My Teacher Told Me
Discuss Greece or ancient Rome - or maybe the history of the United States.

The book sounds very interesting. And, yes, I agree, we homeschoolers have a huge advantage in being able to have complete control over our children's education. Thanks for telling us about this book.

I got it from the library this week. I think it's a bit pedantic but also a very interesting book. I'm going to have my kids read it as part of World History because it does show what is generally taught and how that has been skewed right or wrong by the writers and the people who paid them to write the text books.

Filed under: Education, History, Pop Culture, Television, United Kingdom | Tags: 24's Jack Bauer, Buzz Lightyear, Misconceptions of Schoolchildren
I think we are making a vast mistake to let the federal government get its grasping hands on our children's education. It is one thing for a country to insist that its children receive an education, and quite another to turn the whole thing over to central planning.
Once again, Britain has become a bad example. This time it's education, though usually we look to the U.K. for what not to do in the realm of health care.
A study of 2,000 British schoolchildren revealed that one in five kids believe that Buzz Lightyear was the first person to set foot on the moon. One in twenty believes that Counter Terrorist Jack Bauer was the brains behind the Gunpowder plot that blew up the houses of Parliament. And it's not just history.
A third did not know that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and one in five thought it was Charles Darwin. Eleven percent thought Isaac Newton discovered fire and Albert Einstein was Frankenstein's brother. One in twenty thought Christopher Columbus discovered liposuction, not America.
Twelve percent of kids thought the battle of Britain took place in space, and one in six think Darth Vader's Deathstar is the farthest planet from Earth.
One in six failed to identify US President Barack Obama, claiming he was Mr. T from the A-Team, but a whopping 65 percent knew Britney Spears shaved her head.
We laugh at these sad misconceptions, but if the same survey were conducted in our own country, I shudder to think of the results. It is sad that kids know more about celebrity culture than about history and world events. Popular culture is very dominant, and the TV is more ubiquitous in the home than good history books.
The British research was carried out to mark the launch of the What on Earth? Wallbook which details and illustrates historical events from the big bang to the present day. So one might take the survey with at least a tiny grain of salt, as its purpose is to sell the new "wallbook."
However, it was not too long ago that I saw a small article noting that Winston Churchill had been removed from the British curriculum. Go figure.

Something like [Native Lang Name] + [Lang Code: English Name Tooltip].
Code: Select all
<dfn><abbr title="pt-BR: Brazilian Portuguese">Português do Brasil</abbr></dfn>
You'd see Português do Brasil, and if you hover over it, then you'll see pt-BR: Brazilian Portuguese as a tooltip.
That would be neat. We can try to add that as a new BBCode in the future.
But we're not getting rid of flags. Besides the BBCode, they're used extensively to identify language forums, in user profiles, etc.
I'm aware there are problems with it, but it's still one of the best ways to identify languages that is actually language independent. Using the English names all the time has problems of its own.
I'll also gladly add any new flags you think might be missing in order to represent specific languages or language varieties.

I participated in Simone deJong's Christmas Ornie Exchange for the first time and I sent to Simone. She e-mailed me over the weekend that it arrived safe and sound at her house.
The ornament is from the 2000 issue of Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue and the pattern is called Christmas Heart Pin Cushion by Mary Garry's Sewing Cabin. I also sent Simone a scissor sack for her scissors and 2 skeins of overdyed threads. Here are a couple of pics of what I sent!

Crazy Exchange arrived from Belgium!
I received a package from Katrien last night in the mail and absolutely love it. She sent me a lovely needlecase that she made (Katrien is a quilter as well as a stitcher). The needlecase is so "me" as it has my favorite colors in it and its so "me". She also sent 2 skeins of DMC in my favorite shades of red and a package of needles to get my needlecase all set up. I absolutely love the package and since today is Tuesday its stitch group day so it'll be going with me so I can show my stitch group. They really get a kick out of my exchanges that I make and that I receive.
Thanks so much Katrien!

HoE Freebie Exchange Received
I received a lovely package from Gaby last night. She had my name in the Hooked on Exchange (HoE) for the Freebie Exchange recently and she stitched a biscornu for me by Anne from Tournicoton/France. This is the first and only biscournu that sits in my house right now as I am trying to learn how to make one myself. Her finishing is just impressive! She also sent some wonderful blue lace, a sock key chain, some lovely rose smelling soap and a lovely sachet that made the whole package smell wonderful.

Leccy Tech Lamborghini's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has revealed that the Audi-owned supercar maker plans to add electricity to its drive trains from 2015.
Lamborghini's Gallardo: the next-gen model will be the firm's first hybrid
But in an effort to stop Ferruccio Lamborghini's body from revolving in its grave, the company is only planning to build hybrid supercars rather than full-blooded leccy supercars, such as AMG's SLS eDrive.
The Lambo hybrid system will use an electric motor to provide leccy-only drive at very low speeds, before the customary V8 and V12 power plants kick in to hurl the driver into the horizon.
If you ask us, driving a Lamborghini silently within a built-up area rather defeats the object of buying one in the first place, but such are the times we live in.
Once on the open road, the hybrid drive train will recoup energy from the engine and through regenerative braking, providing an extra dollop of acceleration when the right-hand pedal hits the luxurious shagpile.
A hybrid Estoque would also be a good fit
Lambo's hybrid system will first see the light of day in the next-generation Gallardo – which, sadly, doesn't yet have a firm launch date. Integration into the four-door Estoque would also seem like a good fit to us, but Lambo has yet to decide in that particular model will ever go into production.
Given Lamborghini's owner, it's also possible that the leccy drive train will find its way into the Audi V10 R8 - or its successor. ®
