A friend who is short. Wow, there's Nick and his little buddy, Theresa

Person who does everything to convince you that they are your best friend while stabbing you in the back at the same time. Nickname given to someone who strategically moved in on your ex through a series of events that took place prior to your breakup and behind your back. Nickname given to someone who is manipulative, can't keep a secret, has severe self esteem issues, plays friends against each other, and will do anything to get laid. An acquaintance that you randomly discover copies your habits through the art of facebook stalking (i.e. purchases, dating habits, and even shows up at events uninvited). Nickname give to someone who goes after your girl (behind your back) only after you showed them her picture as a result of them appearing to be genially intrigued and happy for your new found love affair.

Friend: Hey man, look who just walked in the door.....Little Buddy (LB) decided to showed up! You: Thank god, I so can't wait to be C-blocked all night long.
Your friend walks up to you wearing a new pair of boots that you facebooked about just a day ago and says to you "Great minds think alike!" Little Buddy Style.

You: Uh hi, maybe. Lets wait and see... Little Buddy: Ok cool, thanks! I'll get right on that! Tell your brother I say hello! |
5. | Little Buddy | ||
Nickname given to an acquaintance that posts stupid status updates trying to impress other to become his friends, only to not realize that everyone knows that person has no real life. Just short (haha) of being the creepy guy offering candy to little children..... What a typical "Little Buddy": John's status update: "lets skype with wine tnite" (to his neighbor).
6. | little buddy | ||
A slang word for an average sized Indian man. Buddy is slang for Indian, and little refers to an average sized Indian because the average Indian is shorter than the average person. Hey, Little Buddy, have you been to the Taj Mahal?

Searchers beware: Those photos of celebrities or funny cat pictures that turn up in your Google image search results might not be photos at all, but fake antivirus alerts. Evidence appears to indicate that a similar scam to one we blogged about last November may be working its way up the Google food chain into other forms of search results.
Throughout the day we've been looking for links such as these; Each malicious URL we found funnels the browser into the same fakealert, which itself leads to the same rogue antivirus product. Each time we revisited the site, we ended up with what was essentially the same equally nasty rogue antivirus application, sometimes in a different skin, sometimes with a different name. Early in the day we were pulling down something called Total Security. By the afternoon, the tool's name had morphed to become Security Tool.
The rogue's behavior on an infected system is obnoxious in the extreme. It hides the desktop by covering everything over with its own wallpaper, and blocks your ability to right-click the desktop, so it's more difficult to revert the desktop's appearance by changing your Display Properties settings. It also disables the scroll wheel on the mouse, then blames that behavior on a massive infection it claims has taken over your PC. It prohibits most Internet-capable applications, or even tools like the Task Manager, from running, in the guise of its "firewall" component. Of course, it's all smoke and mirrors, an attempt to convince you to spend from $50 to $90 on completely ineffective, utterly useless former-Soviet snake oil.

Jurors view graphic photos in murder trial: Body found in field showed massive blunt force trauma
By Bill Conrad, firstname.lastname@example.com
McKINNEY -- Jurors got their first view of Susan Loper's body Friday morning during the fifth day of the Terrance Black murder trial.
Loper, 40, was killed April 19, 2011 after being abducted from Gleneagles Country Club, where she taught Pilates. Black, 50, is Loper's ex-boyfriend and has been charged with capital murder. If convicted he faces life in prison.
The images of Loper's body were shown by Robert Laughon, a field agent with the Collin County Medical Examiner's office. The body was basically nude, with Loper's jacket and arms up over her head, and her pants and underwear around her ankles.
Laughon described the back of Loper's head as like an eggshell, noting that it was completely caved in. He went on to say that he even thought the body was found nude, he discovered no signs of sexual assault.
While the photos were being shown, several jurors glared at the defendant. Black had no visible reaction during Laughon's testimony, but did stare intently at the video screen while the photos were displayed. However, when photos from the autopsy were shown later Friday, Black appeared to have a hard time viewing them, putting his head in his hands several times and using a tissue to wipe his eyes and nose.
Dr. Sheila Spotswood, a medical examiner with Collin County, said Loper died due to blunt force trauma after a beating she said could be described as "terrible" and savage."
"[There] were multiple blows on the back of the head with something hard enough to fracture the skull," Spotswood told the jury. "There is no way to give a number on how much force, but it is a lot. The minimum number [of blows] was seven, and that is if I count the very large, irregular wound as one blow."
No murder weapon has been identified, but Spotswood said it could have been anything, including a handgun or dumbbells. Prosecutor John Schomburger asked specifically about those two items because he told the jury during his opening statement that Black purchased a 9 mm handgun in 2010, and dumbbells were easily accessible at Loper's fitness studio. In addition, unfired 9 mm bullets were located at the crime scene, but no firearm was recovered.
Much of Thursday's testimony focused on text messages sent and received by Loper in the month before she was killed, as well as calendar entries recovered from the iPhone found in Black's Cadillac Escalade. Plano Police Detective Jeff Rich, a data recovery expert, was on the stand for several hours going over each text message and calendar entry.
The defense team continued to attempt to point the finger at Jayson Hayes, the man Loper was dating at the time of her death. Hayes was one of the people who first mentioned to police the possibility that Black was involved in the crime. His fingerprints were also found on a knocked-over privacy screen at the crime scene.
Text messages from Loper to her friends in March 2011, one month before she was killed, detailed how she and Hayes had broken up and how she wanted to cut all ties with him.
"Looks like I will be rejoining eHarmony real soon," Loper texted someone in her phone book named Gidget. "I am back on the market. We will have to swap stories from the good and bad matches."
Loper also texted Julie Mitchell about her breakup with Hayes.
"So I should have listened to you months ago," Loper wrote. "You saw things I didn't want to see. Jayson and I are over for good."
The defense team mentioned the breakup during its opening argument, and the text messages proved that Loper and Hayes had an on-again, off-again relationship. However, text messages sent in late March and early April detailed how the two were once again a couple.
Rich also read several dozen calendar entries Black made on his iPhone. One of the first entries came on Nov. 29, 2009. On that day, Black wrote "Lost her again. (Expletive) eHarmony." Another entry on April 19, 2010 -- exactly one year before the murder -- read "Buy G." Schomburger suggested that may mean "buy gun."
While no proof was provided that Black bought a gun that day, testimony from a Cabela's employee on Friday showed that Black purchased a Ruger P95 9 mm pistol, as well as two boxes of 9 mm ammunition, on June 21, 2010. The ammunition found at Gleneagles on the morning of the murder, Magtech First Defense 92.6 grain, is the same brand, caliber and weight as the ammunition contained in one of the boxes purchased by Black, Plano PD Detective Luke Grant testified.
Another calendar entry on May 2, 2010 read, "D-Day, SL gotta go. Can't let a bastard have my hard work." Several references were also made to Black's dates with other women. One entry mentioned how the woman better replace "SL," while another said to "smoke" someone if "SL" was not replaced. The word "smoker" was included in two calendar entries in March and April 2011. The prosecution asked Rich if Black typing "smoker" could mean "smoke her," or if it was a term for killing someone? Rich said yes to both, answers the defense objected to. However, Judge John Roach overruled the objection and allowed the testimony.
Texts sent and received by Black the day after the murder were also shared with the jury. Upon hearing of Loper's death from a friend, Black asked what happened and told the person he had been out of town since Monday, a statement seemingly proven false since records show Black's cell phone was in North Texas on the Tuesday Loper was killed. Black also sent a message to his sister, Wendi, on the afternoon of April 20, apologizing for being a "parasite" and hinting that he was going to kill himself.
He provided more details into why he was suicidal in a note found inside his vehicle at the Grand Canyon.
"Dear family, sorry I failed you all and caused you so much pain. I've been so tired of struggling mentally, financially and emotionally. My debts are too high and it would have taken me 20 years to pay them off. I made too many mistakes got too old too fast. I appreciate all that you did for me Wendi sorry to let you down. I just couldn't mooch any longer. Please pray that God will accept my soul into heaven. Love, Rance"
Another suicide note was recovered below the rim of the Grand Canyon, several miles away from where Black attempted to kill himself. On that note, Black also mentioned borrowing money from his sister, while also writing, "Extremely depressed. Someone killed Susan. She was amazing."

A patent licensing agreement has been signed between Aspen Avionics and Microsoft that gives Aspen broad access to the latest Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT). exFAT is a modern file system from Microsoft that facilitates large files for audiovisual media and enables seamless data portability and an easy interchange between desktop PCs and other electronic devices. The agreement is the latest forged by Microsoft for exFAT and the first in the avionics and commercial sector.
exFAT is a modern file system improving on its predecessor, the FAT file system, and greatly expands the size of files that flash memory devices can handle by more than five times over the previous technology. It also greatly increases the speed with which those files can be accessed. The exFAT file system not only facilitates large files for use of audiovisual media, it enables seamless data portability and an easy interchange between desktop PCs and a variety of electronic devices.
Aspen specializes in bringing advanced technology and capability into general aviation cockpits. Its products increase situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, helping to make it easier and safer to fly. Aspen's flagship product line is the Evolution Flight Display system, a glass cockpit system certified for general aviation aircraft.
"Innovative avionics requires a modern file system, such as exFAT, that can handle significantly larger file sizes to display richer data than legacy file systems could handle," said David Kaefer, general manager of Intellectual Property (IP) Licensing at Microsoft. "This agreement with Aspen Avionics highlights how exFAT can help directly address the specific needs of customers in the aviation industry, and we're delighted to make exFAT available to the company through our intellectual property licensing program."

Most Helpful Reviews
My 12-year-old electric craftsman chain saw has finally died for the final time. So I purchased this one to replace it. Bad mistake! After 30 minutes of accumulated use during the day. The following items were noted.
1. Chain falls off drive gear about once every 10 minutes of use. Seems any contamination that gets inside will derail the unit.
2. The no tools adjustment for chain tension is of no value. It loosens up during cutting from vibrations.
3. 7 out of every 10 times you try to start the unit, the chain only sits there while the motor in running full tilt.
4. While cutting branches of at least 1-inch thickness, the chain will just stop while the motor screams on.
5. The chain saw is so over engineered for safety that it is dangerous. The chain break is useless.
I had neighbors come over and try out my new saw. Everyone was disappointed. All reported that the unit was a piece of junk.
We tried every combination of chain slack and chain tension to try and correct the problems encountered.
Nothing seems to work at all.
I have used chain saws, manual saws, power and non-power tools for over 50 years. This is by far the worst device I have found to date.

This electric chain saw is very light weight. affordable and efficient. Easily handled with one hand when needed.

This saw is great for underbrush that you can cut with conventional hand pruners. But if you want to cut a real tree, keep in mind that the high-impact chassis cannot take the pressure of the RPMs. This saw will fall apart against any tree greater than 6 inches in diameter.

Works great except for two things. 1) difficult to keep the chain tight so that it doesn't come off 2) the triger is difficult to engage at times

This is the 2nd time I have purchased this saw as I had my first one stolen from my locked workshop. It's light enough to use in tree pruning as well as in the cutting of larger limbs for firewood.

It cuts wood without any problems. My husband went through a large pile of branches and seemed to just keep moving with no real hassles. The only part that was a little tricky was holding down the safety release while pulling on the trigger, but he learned it fairly easily.

I thought this saw was going to be a beast. Wrong. My old 12" Remington 1.25 hp (with a broken chain adjuster) can cut circles around this saw. This saw is heavy and does not have the power it claims to have. After an hour of use I was worn out from trying to cut down a small tree with it. I took it back and bought another Remington for half the money. The salesman put a clearance sticker on this saw. My wife said, "someone is going to get a good deal on it." I said, "I wouldn't take it if it was free."

Electric was a great choice for a very occasional user like myself. I cut down and chopped up a tree for my mom that was growing over a neighbors chimney. The only issue I had was that the safety did not easily unlock so that it would run. Once it ran, it ran great.

Release Date: Thursday, January 31, 2013
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The University of Charleston's three new locations that opened this January have helped UC record its largest total enrollment in 30 years and the second largest full-time enrollment in the university's history. University President Ed Welch today announced a full-time enrollment for Spring 2013 of 1,669, and a total enrollment of 1,884.
"We are extremely pleased with the growth in enrollment brought on by our recent expansion," said Dr. Welch. "Our focus now is to build on this base to serve additional students at each of our locations. We want to assure that each student experiences the high-quality courses and programs that have garnered the University a national reputation for preparing graduates to be successful in their jobs and leaders in their communities."
UC's full-time enrollment surpasses 1972's mark of 1,567 as the second largest on record. At the present time, UC has 1,367 students taking courses in Charleston and 517 taking courses in its regional network at UC-Beckley, UC-Martinsburg and UC-Net (online).
UC-Net is currently accepting applications for courses beginning March 11. Students will be able to start four bachelor's (accounting, business administration, organizational leadership and psychology) and two master's programs (forensic accounting and strategic leadership), as well as take prerequisite courses for health science programs like radiologic science, occupational therapy assistant and diagnostic medical sonography.
The 2012-13 academic year marks UC's 125th anniversary as an academic institution. UC was founded in 1888 as Barboursville Seminary, renamed Morris Harvey College in 1901, moved to Charleston in 1935 and was renamed the University of Charleston in 1978.

xedric is back with nids and orcs!
Long time lurker is making a new entry! You might remember me as a newb 2 yrs ago posting some csm stuff and wraithlord that are old projects on hold....
Now Im still a newb... BUT Ive bought the new tyranid codex and Ive decided to build an army. This time Im gonna try and keep it simple so I get it done! I'm going to paint it kraken and for the bases I'm thinking forest. My initial plan was "alien forest" thinking pale creamy colors: white, green and blue. Now I'm not sure. We'll see. Modelingwise the bases will be sand, grass and some parts from GWs tree kit. I've started making the bases but not painting them yet. I've started one gaunt paint test as you can see below.
I am currently working on a brood of 22 termagaunts and for the most part they have simple poses and bases. A few of them get a little more work so the brood has some variety.
This was an experiement to see if I could straighten out the leg and make the gaunt stand on a branch. Fiddly with so many small pieces! I like the result though.
That's all for this time. Expect more and please leave a comment!

Hobbton Middle's girls went to Union Monday night with heavy hearts and steely determination, and they came away with a 35-20 road win over the young Spartan girls.
Wildcat coach Parenza Best said the girls, still grieving over the loss of eighth-grade classmate Larissa Estrada who was killed over the weekend, wanted to dedicate the game to their friend. "They wanted to win this for her," the coach stressed. "They played their hearts out for her."
Hobbton jumped out to an early 6-2 lead and never looked back, scoring 19 more points in the second frame to go into the half ahead 25-9.
Although Union made stabs at a comeback, adding 5 more points in the third quarter and 6 in the final frame, Hobbton proved too strong and got the victory they were hunting.
Defense, said Best, was the key to the game. "Our defense held Union and our offense was patient. It was a good combination for us tonight."
Scoring for Hobbton was Nina Davone with 13 points; Mackenzie Williams, 11; Denise Lamb, 7; Ashley Hinterleiter, 2; and Tessa Hardison, 2.
Best praised the leadership of Davone and Williams, saying they had worked real hard with the seventh graders on the team, trying to help them improve their play."They did a great job leading the team," the coach stressed.
Hobbton plays host to Midway Middle Thursday. Game time is 4 p.m.

A 4.5 inch ball of heated or cooled gel applied directly to the affected area is a fast non-toxic effective treatment. Its the easiest way to apply ice and the most ergonomic shape to use heated as a therapeutic device. Its amazing how often such a simple device gets used for so many thermal applications. The return on investment is priceless.

At room temperature instead of using thumbs or palms, use the tactile "tacky" surface and position the ball on the specific muscle. Stretch the muscle as you apply pressure which reduces congestion and forces oxygenated blood into the damaged tissue. Healing becomes more rapid.
The unique thermal fluid holds it's temperature while icyball's special viscosity improves massage effects on the body or injured muscle. The special covering of the icyball® is "tacky" to improve contact with the skin and conform to the underlying muscle structure, increasing the therapeutic effect relative to the pressure applied.

According to the report:
Mary Jane Sharea Bannister, 42, of 965 Old Rockmart Road, allegedly concealed two Red Bull energy drinks and a pack of markers at Walmart on Redmond Circle on Saturday and attempted to exit without paying.
After resisting arrest, Bannister was taken into custody, and suspected marijuana was found in her purse when she arrived at the jail.
She was charged with felony possessing illegal drugs across a guard line as well as misdemeanor counts of theft by shoplifting, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer and probation violation.
Bannister remained in jail Saturday night without bond.

WINNSBORO — Jeff Archie, senior vice president of Nuclear Operations at SCANA, presented a PowerPoint tour to the Winnsboro Rotary Club recently on the progress of the building of the No. 2. He was the guest of Rotarian Bart Sistare.
Archie said Santee Cooper owns 45 percent of Reactor 2 and Reactor 3, but own a smaller percentage of the first reactor already on line. It was interesting to see how the metal rods were built to place in the "pit" and then concrete will be poured over the metal framework. He showed pictures of the largest crane in the world which SCANA is leasing during the construction project.
He reported that SCANA makes its own concrete in their "batch" plants. He also discussed the construction and purpose of the "switchyard" saying this was where the nuclear power is prepared to be exported. Archie thanked the county for all the support they have given SCANA with the construction of the two new reactors.
Archie said he was proud to have been raised in the Jenkinsville community and to now see the success SCANA was having with these projects. Rotary President Jim Mullen commented how proud Fairfield County was of him also.
Archie recognized Ron Jones, vice president for New Nuclear Operations. Jones came to SCANA from Duke Power Company.

Welcome to Groupon Baltimore! For our inaugural deal, $15 gets you $30 worth of grub and guzzle at John Steven, Ltd., located at 1800 Thames St. Fell's Point.
Put yourself over the moon with today's Groupon to Pazza Luna. For $15, you get $35 worth of al dente pastas, succulent seafood, delectable meats, and more at the romantic Locust Point bistro. Lean over the table for intimate whispers and calamari nibbles, seated discreetly in a private corner of this buzzing yet cozy locale. Dine on the sensual Mediterranean cuisine that makes young lovers starry-eyed and sneaks up on long-established couples like a big pizza pie of amour. Welling was determined to capture the minds and tongues of the niche—but expanding—market of disco fans. After extensive research, he determined that disco's sparkling clothing and bouncy rhythms were the culinary equivalent of pasta covered in rich tomato sauce. Welling's findings were so delicious that disco changed its name to Italy, enraging Italy, which was forced to change its name to Lapland, Home of Full-Blooded Italians. Pick up today's Groupon for some delicious Italian food from America, prepared by full-blooded Italians from Lapland, Home of Full-Blooded Italians.
In Nepal, the sprawling summits and snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas backdrop Lumbini, one of four main Buddhist pilgrimage sites. In Baltimore, simmering curries and spice-laden sauces permeate the atmosphere at Lumbini Restaurant. This bouquet of savory scents dances over crisp white tabletops and drifts to the edges of an elegant dining room, which deepens with the broad landscape mural that guides glances along an outer wall.
Creamy or spicy sauces daub charcoal-roasted chicken, tandoor-barbecued lamb, or stir-fried jumbo shrimp. Veggie entrees blend the same rich sauces over pumpkin, baked eggplant, chickpeas, or house-made cheese. With each meal, diners dig in with classic copper utensils and cover laps with maroon napkins. For parties and events, a private floor accommodates groups celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or the successful forging of a college degree.
Segmented by awnings and gently protruding balconies, the cubic exterior of Blue Hill Tavern conceals a young yet illustrious kitchen where, as City Paper extols, "usual entrees become unusual." Critics have indeed taken note of the chic tavern's dinner menu, whose sous-vide prepared meats and seasonal ingredients recently turned heads on _Baltimore _ magazine's list of top 10 eateries in 2012.
Smudges of robin's-egg blue punctuate the tavern's two-story dining room, where pearlescent curtains shade tabletops from the afternoon sun as patrons look over the lunch menu's gourmet sandwiches and simple bar snacks. Outside, diners peruse the wine list or head up to a balcony peppered with high-top tables, fire pits brimming with glassy blue stones, and hopscotch courts drawn with drizzles of aromatic truffle oil.
The Reserve's eclectic menu arrays out chic entrees, sandwiches, and salads that promenade across red carpet tongues on the arms of microbrews, craft beers, and wines. Patrons can observe the limits of their friends' selflessness as they politely race to grab shared bites such as crab sliders, two lump crustacean cakes in a dijon old bay aioli ($8). The knowledgeable staff can suggest a selection from a robust medley of wines to pair with entrees, such as the spicy basil veggie stir-fry, served over cilantro lime rice in a thai peanut sauce as spicy as a commencement speech given by Hugh Hefner ($13). Bites of the Angus-sourced barbecue beef burgers ($12), along with other bread-hugged sandwiches, test cheeks' elasticity or slide down throat waterslides with gulps of one of The Reserve's 16 beers on tap.
The best thing about visiting the "little" versions of other regions is the food. The second-best thing is that the little versions of grown-up animals still look like baby animals. Today's Groupon muddles the experience with tropical tastes, splashes it with Latin locomotion, and garnishes it with extended metaphors. For $10, you get $25 worth of scrumptious Cuban cuisine and drinks at Little Havana Restaurant y Cantina Cubana, a casual Federal Hill eatery that's been serving authentic cuisine for more than a decade. Little Havana's is open Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. (kitchen closes at 10 p.m.), Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. (kitchen closes at 11 p.m.), and Sundays for brunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. (kitchen closes at 10 p.m.).

New information from the United States Census Bureau revealed several counties in the high country, including Ashe, have high rates of uninsured citizens.
According to the 2010 United States Census, 23 percent of Ashe County's citizens under 65 (the age eligible for Medicare) were uninsured that year. This is nearly four percentage points higher than North Carolina's average of 19.1 percent in 2010.
That number was down from a 2006 estimate, which showed an uninsured rate of 25.2 percent.
Ashe County's uninsured rate seems to have improved even more since 2010, based on countyhealthrankings.com, which says Ashe currently has an uninsured rate of 19-23 percent. Even though this percentage is still above the state average, countyhealthrankings.com rates Ashe County as number 37 out of 100 North Carolina counties in overall health.
"Of course, all of the patients we see are uninsured," said Greg Bolac, director of Ashe County Free Medical Clinic.
Bolac said the major problem facing Ashe County isn't the high uninsured rate; it is the number of doctors employed in the county. "Ashe County is way down in the ranks in percentage of doctors; we need to hire more doctors," said Bolac.
Bolac said Ashe County has 886 patients for every one doctor. To put that into perspective, Bolac said Watauga County has 658 patients for every one doctor.
Also according to Bolac, Ashe County and its neighbors have high uninsured rates because they are "rural areas with high unemployment."
In the 2010 census, Alleghany County had the highest uninsured rate in North Carolina at 30.1 percent. This rate had increased from 2006, when Alleghany County had a 22.7 percent uninsured rate.
Also in the census, Watauga County and Wilkes County had uninsured rates of 20.1 percent and 21.7 percent respectively.
While Alleghany's rate has increased significantly since 2006, Watauga's uninsured rate has dropped from 28.8 percent in 2006. Even though one out of five people in Watauga are uninsured, Watauga ranks number six out of 100 counties in North Carolina in terms of overall health.
The county with the lowest uninsured rate in 2010 was Wake County at 15.5 percent, which earns it the highest overall health ranking in the state, according to countyhealthrankings.com.

before the gvt decided to step in, our country took care of the poor. right here in vancouver, on 78th where there's a community garden...that used to be the 'poor farm' where people who couldn't support themselves, lived & farmed there. the ymca/ywca, catholic missions, people give
ing their neighbors food and helping them get back on their feet....
this country's people help those who cannot help themselves.
the problem isn't 'can't help', the problem is 'won't help' themselves.
do you believe the country owes these people? or is it the duty of their families?

If there aint no God, where did nature come from?
paulvancouver — August 24, 2010 at 6:51 p.m. ( reply | permalink | suggest removal )
I'll attempt to answer all of your questions.
Who created god?
No one did. He has always existed. He is eternal. He has no beginning or end. When Moses asked God what he should tell the people his name is, he replied with the Hebrew name YHVH, that is to say, "I AM WHO I AM".
Why must people pray to a god who can obviously see everything, know all minds, and, thus, know all needs?
When you have a relationship with someone, you communicate with them right? As a child, when you want or need something you can ask your parents or father for that need or desire.
Unless all that god NEEDS is to have his little ego puffed up by people bowing down and praying to him?
God is without sin. He cannot sin. He is just, holy and righteous. There is no darkness in God.
Why did a perfect being create an imperfect world?
He created a perfect world. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they disobeyed God and that was the fall of man.
Why did a loving creator create a world where suffering reigns, specially since he could see it all ahead of time.
Again, he did create a perfect world. When Adam and Eve disobeyed and their eyes were opened to know good and evil, that was the fall of man and the beginning of sin. If we were made without free will to choose then we would be like robots.
Why should I honor a father who killed his own son to atone for his own murder of all mankind?
Because he is worthy of all honor. His Son, Jesus Christ, wilfully chose to follow his Father's will. He said, "I have the power to lay it down and the power to take it again". (See John 10:18)
How come we can't see the fiery angels who are guarding the Garden of Eden? In fact, where is the Garden of Eden? If it needs guarding, then it's still got to be here where we can find it? Or was that story just a lot of malarkey?
I don't know about you, but I don't see any angels gaurding the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden is done with, we look towards our eternal home in heaven.
Why did Noah get away with incest?
I'm not aware that Noah commmited the act of incest. More explanation can be found at http://www.propheticrevelation.com/mi...
Why do Christians worship the son and not his father? No wonder he keeps hammering the South and the Bible bib with hurricanes, tornados, oil spills and floods.
The Son and the Father are one.

Why didn't Jesus come back to perfect his kingdom before the death of his apostles as he promised them he would?
Where did he say that? He indwells every believer with the Holy Spirit.
Since god knows the future, then the future is predetermined. Thus no man woman or child is guilty since they had to do as god foresaw they would do. If they could do differently and break free from god's foreordaining knowledge, then god would not be all powerful, so he preordained all the evil in the world, and there is no free will. Thus, no sin.
Sin is transgression of God's law. We are either slaves of sin to death or obedience unto righteousness.
If Jesus is in heaven, sitting on the right hand of his father how can he and the father and the holy ghost be one?
He is God, he can do whatever he pleases.
Was Jesus making that up?

"but if you can only quote the authority of an old, out-of-date book and don't reply to the serious logic of my questions, then I won't be convinced."
That is what you don't understand yet. The "out-of-date book" is actually a living Word.

God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. You will not know God having a proud heart. You must humble yourself.

Have you ever told a lie before?
Have you ever stolen anything before?
Have you ever looked on another woman to lust after her?
Have you always honored your mother and father?
Have you ever coveted after anything of your neighbors?
Have you put any gods before the living God?
Have you ever used Gods' name in vain?
Have you ever hated someone?
Have you always kept the Sabbath day holy?
paulvancouver — August 27, 2010 at 10:53 a.m. ( reply | permalink | suggest removal )
All of those laws listed that you have broken are indeed sin. Sin is the transgression of God's holy law. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. It also says the wages of sin is death. Yes, I've commited transgression as well, there is no one that hasn't sinned. That's why we need Jesus Christ! His blood is our redemption and we receive forgiveness of sins by confessing them to God, turning from them and place our faith and trust in Jesus. Eternal life is a free gift, though you must accept that gift. May you call upon him today, for today is the day of salvation and whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
paulvancouver — August 30, 2010 at 9:27 p.m. ( reply | permalink | suggest removal )
The definition of sin is "missing the mark". We've all missed the mark. Jesus said that whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already commited adultery in his heart and whoever hates his brother is a murderer. You see, there is man's standard and there is God's standard; God's standard is what is going to make a difference for eternity. The Bible also says that covetousness is the same as idolatry. Once you see your sin is when you'll see your need for a saviour, and Jesus Christ is Him!

I know that I'm forgiven and that all of my sins are paid in full by the precious red blood of Jesus Christ! Have a good rest of the week!

City workers saw Greene, or rather green men in the City this week, as Greene & Co. put down "Greene" roots in the capital with the launch of the new city office at Clerkenwell. Donned in fetching green Zentai-style suits, bowler hats and briefcases, the special Greene gents frequented the City's favourite haunts this week and could be spotted at various locations including Liverpool Street, St Paul's, Spitalfields, Bank, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.
The Greene men were promoting a competition to win one of five meals for two at the popular city eatery Coq d'argent, with Greene & Co. pledging to donatate £1 for every entry, to the 3Cs charity – Crohn's & Colitis in Childhood.
You can still enter the competition up until the 29th February 2012 via the the City Facebook page, search Greene & Co City. The best street photos will also be uploaded to this page ready for tagging by anyone lucky enough to be snapped.

The roots of the Church of England go back to the time of the Roman Empire when Christianity entered the Roman province of Britain. Through the influences of St Alban, St Illtud, St Ninian, St Patrick and, later, St Augustine, St Aidan and St Cuthbert, the Church of England developed, acknowledging the authority of the Pope until the Reformation in the 16th century.
The religious settlement that eventually emerged in the reign of Elizabeth I gave the Church of England the distinctive identity that it has retained to this day. It resulted in a Church that consciously retained a large amount of continuity with the Church of the Patristic and Medieval periods in terms of its use of the catholic creeds, its pattern of ministry, its buildings and aspects of its liturgy, but which also embodied Protestant insights in its theology and in the overall shape of its liturgical practice. The way that this is often expressed is by saying that the Church of England is both 'catholic and reformed.'
The changes that have taken place in the Church of England over the centuries have been many and various. What has remained constant, however, has been the Church's commitment to the faith 'uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds,' its maintenance of the traditional three fold order of ministry, and its determination to bring the grace of God to the whole nation through word and sacrament in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Flailing about trying to put the pieces back together, I hoped I might be able to rescure something and still front up next week. But there was dawning realisation and acceptance that I needed first to identify and break the intractable pattern I have been in now for at least 10 months. Big Picture focus. Not small and short term.
Reading Paul Gildings recent book, which deals with much meatier issues than mine, the words in the book title still seemed to appropriately describe what I needed to do:
The Great Disruption ....Identify and then disrupt the pattern. Break the bad habits.
The Issue?
When i run, there is a pain with each foot fall, sometimes mild / sometimes acute, at the top of the leg in the butt. Sometimes it hurts like hell and results in a limp. Other times the pain recedes for the duration of the run, only to return with a vengeance at the end. And as occured in the 10 Km at Homeush, sometimes it suddenly cruels a race suddenly and completely.
From my arthritic large toe on the left foot, through to the sacrotuberous ligament, which "runs from the sacrum to the (wait for it...) tuberosity of the ischium" or as a friend so delicately put it .... "have you got a busted arse?".
The solution?
Treatment yes, and to disrupt the pattern. Short runs, sideways, backwards, grapevine running, mixed with deep water running and swimming, and core strengthening, and physio treatment, and more treatment, and more......and tentatively it seems to be helping (I am afraid to jinx it...).
So having 'discovered' running just 4 years ago, aged 43(later than most), I am beginning to re-discover 'patience'.
I got away with it for just over two years running injury free, joyfully breaking PBs in my 10 km / half marathons / marathons, believing I might just be a little invincible, and that there might not be any visible limits (yeh, sure!!)
In truth this cycle probably started just before six foot in 2010. I still managed a few good runs early last year and by continually applied band-aid solutions it took some time for my head to catch up with the body.
So despite what my tagline says about "Old dogs learning new tricks", in truth this old dog sometimes takes a long time to learn them!
My enthusiasm and my ambitions remain undiminished however: I know I can run a sub 3 hr marathon before I turn 50, and with certainty a sub 4:30 six foot in 2012....if I can remain injury clear.
The memory of my childhood home county hero, "the little man with the big heart" John Treacy as he reeled in Englishman Charlie Spedding in the Olympic Stadium to claim silver, will be summoned in the effort, along with this old dog continuing to learn a whole pile of new tricks to avoid injury!

Competition Admin, In RMSE clarification thread, You stated "The milestone winner will be the contestant on top of the leaderboard as of the cutoff dates." I don't think such statement means another set of data from the leaderboard is used to determine the milestone prize, I even didn't bother to select the best 5 of my submissions which have overall good performance in the "Submissions" page, how can the rules changed after so many days passed? |
Rank 4th Posts 339 Thanks 166 Joined 13 Oct '10 Email user |
Hey Xiaoshi, I believe they were implicitly referring to the private leaderboard, though I do agree the language was not clear and the admins should have spoken up long ago, when people congratulated you in the forum. Kaggle milestones have been judged
on the private set in the past. For instance, in the HHP prize: Putting aside any personal factors, it is in everyone's best interest that all prizes are judged based on the private set. There are too many ways to game/tune/overfit on the public set (not saying you are doing this, just that in general this is why the private set exists... to see whose model is really the best). Again though, such rules should be made explicit up front so that this confusion doesn't have to happen. |
Rank 23rd Posts 19 Joined 25 Sep '10 Email user |
Sorry but when saying "leaderboard" before the competition ends I see no reason to deem it as the private one since the one has no meaning before it becomes visual to all. In HHP prize it 's clearly stated it's private leaderboard so no other understanding can be made, actually if you check HHP rules, you can find quite the opposite thing about the understanding of "the leaderboard" without saying public or private: "The Data Sets are:
" "If an Entrant does not designate five Grand Prize Entries by the Grand Prize Deadline, his/her/its five Entries with the lowest prediction score on the Leaderboard will be automatically designated for judging." "The Leaderboard scores will be determined using the Feedback Data Set and are for informational purposes only and will not be used to determine prize winners, except as described in Rule 10 above." You see, I see no reason to deem "leaderboard" under normal context before competition ends as the private one, the admin can also see what alegro and Alec Stephenson's understanding about his words from this exact thread. If there's one leaderboard they are referring to "implicitly" I find no clue anywhere to deem it as the private one rather than the public one. if they find our natural understanding is definitely not what he wants to say, why not make it clear ASAP rather than digging out the thread after so many days, after two milestone prize submission deadline have all passed? Don't misunderstand me, I am not saying using public one to determine milestone prize winner has any advantage than using private one, but when a rule is set there we must follow it, I see no reason to change it in such a way and after the deadline we've any chance to do anything. Do you think the current status is fair to one not picking 5 submissions based on overall performance? Do you think breaking rules after deadline without any notification or clue can be found by competitors is even better than using imperfect rules? I'd like they give a serious response about this issue |
Rank 2nd Posts 39 Thanks 7 Joined 11 Sep '10 Email user |
Question: "How you will select milestone winners?" About what "implicit referring" you have talk? Question was about selection procedure. Are you see any word about this? Are you see "the leaderboard" word-combination? What reason you have to think that the definite article was used to point on unknown private leadeboard but not to public leaderboard that we have seen at time of the answer? In what you beleived at the congratulations time, why do not asked about clarification? It is apparent that judging on private data is better. But why you think ("Putting aside any personal factors") that accepting rule changing at any time will produce less confusion in a future than responsibility for given promises? May be mistakenly given, but they cost someone time and not small (looking on amount of submissions). In this case there was enough time to make clarification before the second milestone. I am sorry, but it looks like as full irresponsibility or intentional deception. How often in your environment someone orders a job, looks at the execution process and decides to not pay because his order was wrong? By the way there is upfront rule. From the Kaggle's "Terms & Conditions": "7.3.any leader board appearing in connection with a Competition is indicative only and makes no representations and creates no entitlements in relation to any Award;" |

NEW YORK — This afternoon, the Orlando Magic will start the most grueling stretch of their regular season. Today's matchup against the New York Knicks begins a set of three games on three consecutive days and a total of 10 games in 15 days.
It'll be a difficult test. That's obvious.
But the Magic will face another obstacle besides fatigue.
Perhaps their toughest hurdle will revolve around their defense, which so far has been average at best.
Orlando enters today ranked 16th out of 30 teams in field-goal percentage defense.
Opponents have made 44.6 percent of their shots against the Magic, and that percentage is much too high for a team anchored by Dwight Howard or for a team with championship aspirations.
Stan Van Gundy says he doesn't worry about things he can't control, but he sees his team has an Achilles' heel.
"Somewhere along the line, we're going to have to get our defense cleaned up," he said.
But when?
