What about age differences?
What if a young lady is older than the man who wants to marry her? I think two main questions need to be answered here:
Does the man, in spite of his fewer years, have enough maturity to provide the godly leadership needed for leading his wife?
Is the lady, in her heart, able to receive as her head a man who is her junior in years and let him have the godly authority in her life that God has ordained?
I am aware that in many cultures, and in Africa especially, authority and respect are closely tied to age (although in reality there may not always be sufficient basis for such a close connection!). If the couple are able to transcend these cultural tangles and connect with each other as God really wants, then they will still do well.steve madden shoes kisses clips app ios
Based on the above considerations, I do not think that a few years' difference should be a problem but wide age gaps (in which the lady is the senior) will probably be much more difficult to work out.
What about differences in tribe and race and caste?
steve madden shoes kisses clips app ios In certain parts of our world, this is a common obstacle that prospective spouses face within themselves and from their parents. Most of the objections are based on the idea that somehow 'our' tribe and 'our' race is better than the other tribe or race (and probably safer!).
But this is simply not true. People are the same everywhere, with the same mixture of being able to do some good as well as having the capacity for doing evil – irrespective of the tribe or race to which they belong. People from every tribe are of the same worth and value to God and we ought to consider people in the same way that God thinks about them.
Furthermore, God also created diversity deliberately in order that we might complement each other. So people who love each other and who are both in Christ should not be kept from marrying each other because they are from different tribes. They are free to marry.
Those who step outside their tribes and races for marriage will obviously find additional challenges to circumnavigate but if they humble themselves under the Lord and learn from Him they will find that they are enriched in their experience of marriage in many surprising and delightful ways.
What about money?
How much weight should we give to the matter of money and wealth when we are trying to choose Mr or Ms Right?
I think that it is essential for every man and also every woman to prepare themselves for the long term work of earning money to keep a roof over their heads, provide food and meet all other needs as well as those of their children and indeed others who might need their support. Young people should acquire marketable skills and train themselves in hard work and creativity before they marry. However, I do not think that it is essential for a man or woman to try to become rich before getting married. Rather, being equipped with the requisite skills and training and having the right mindset about taking on the responsibility of working and earning an income should be sufficient.

Posted on April 27, 2009
A friend of mine who never asks small questions inquired "What was so important about the Civil War?"
I explained all the usual points: defining moment in the nation's history, brother against brother, determining factor in politics for a century, the loss of nearly a generation of young Americans. She listened with tepid attention. The REAL problem, as it turned out, was that she had tried to read Gone With the Wind again and thought it was a silly soap opera. I couldn't help her there. But I didn't really think it was the fault of Americans who took the war seriously, either.
Be that as it may, this year's Book Fair includes the Civil War collection of a man who had his own complaints. He passed away in 1938, but the collection has been passed down through the generations more or less intact. What mattered to him, it seems, was that his father was an officer for the Union at gettysburg. And, as he complains in a letter to Henry Horner, Illinois Governor and Civil War expert, none of the books about Gettysburg tells the storycorrectly. That is, ahem, that none of the books tells the story quite the way his father told it. He goes on for four pages in the letter about how his father said the Battle went, up to and including the period afterward, when his father made his way on leave to Baltimore to talk to the mother of one of his buddies killed in the battle. His carbon of this letter is still enclosed in the book he lent Governor Horner.
If you make it to this year's Book Fair, you'll find more of his collection in the Military History section and the Collectors section. He had any number of regimental histories and autobiographies of authors, as well as the memorial book of that buddy of his father's killed at Gettysburg. Among our collectibles, you will find General Longstreet's discussion of what he did in the war (From Manassas to Appomattox, 1896, the edition with the greyclad arm bearing the sword) and also the book by Helen Longstreet (Lee and Longstreet at High Tide, 1904) published after his death so she could point out even more strongly that he was not responsible for the South losing the war. You can thus acquire two highly collectible versions of events at Gettysburg which once belonged to a man only one generation removed from the fighting.
But be careful. You may run into a volunteer who'll demand, "What's so important about the Battle of Gettysburg?"

Nebraska at GARC Championships
Date: Friday, Feb. 22-Sunday, Feb. 24
Host: Ole Miss
Location: Oxford, Miss.
Venue: Patricia C. Lamar National Guard Readiness Center
Teams Participating: Army, Kentucky, Memphis, Navy, Nebraska, NC State, Ole Miss, West Virginia
The Nebraska rifle team will continue postseason action this weekend as it travels to the Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) Championships, hosted by Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss. The meet will take place from Feb. 22-24, with team action occuring on Saturday, Feb. 23 and Sunday, Feb. 24. The Huskers (19-7, 3-3 GARC) will square off some of the nation's best rifle squads at the conference championship, facing West Virginia, Kentucky, Army, Memphis, Navy, NC State and Ole Miss in team and individual competition.
NU enters this weekend's match after qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2010 on Wednesday. After firing the second-highest team score of season (4,650) at the NCAA Qualifiers, NU earned a spot in the championship field as the No. 7 seed. Nebraska will look to replicate last season's performance at the GARC Championships, when the team fired its way to third-place overall finish.
GARC Championship Schedule
GARC Championship action will take place over the course of three days, beginning on Friday, Feb. 22 and continuing until Sunday, Feb. 24. Competition will begin on Friday, when individual smallbore competitors will take to the range at 12 p.m. CST. That evening will be the annual conference championship banquet, which is slated for a 7 p.m. start.
Saturday's action will begin at 7 a.m. with team smallbore action, closely followed by the beginning of individual air rifle competition at 8:30 a.m. The day will conclude with team smallbore finals in the evening, which will begin 5:30 p.m.
The championship will wrap up on Sunday, Feb. 24, beginning with team air rifle performances at 8 a.m. The closing event of the championship will be team air rifle finals, which will start at 12:45 p.m.
The 2013 conference championship is hosted by Ole Miss. Spectators unable to attend can follow live targets and view full results at OleMissSports.com.
Nebraska Qualifies for NCAA Championships
The Huskers qualified for the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2010, the NCAA Men's and Women's Rifle Committee announced on Feb. 20. Led by first-year Head Coach Stacy Underwood, the Huskers will return to the championship field after a two-year absence. Joining Nebraska at the Championships will be West Virginia, Kentucky, TCU, Alaska-Fairbanks, Army, Jacksonville State and Air Force.
The appearance will be the ninth in program history and the first as a head coach for Underwood, who took over leadership of the team this season. The program's best finish came in 2006, when the Huskers posted a second-place performance.
The top-eight teams in both the smallbore three-position and air rifle events were selected based on the average of the three highest regular-season scores with no more than one match at any given site. The average of the three highest scores was then added to the aggregate scores from a team's qualifying match to determine the top-eight programs. NU qualified with a combined score of 9,298.67, which breaks down into a top-three scoring average of 4,648.67 and an NCAA Qualifier score of 4,650.
Huskers Fire a 4,650 at NCAA Qualifiers
NU fired their second-highest score of the season to finish second overall at their NCAA Qualifier match on Sunday, Feb. 17. NU posted a 4,650 to finish behind Jacksonville State (4,664) and ahead of four other competing teams. The match marked one of the Huskers' most complete performances this season, as the team earned its third-highest smallbore total (2,306) and fourth-highest air rifle aggregate (2,344) of 2012-13.
NU picked up a score of 2,306 on the smallbore range to start the competition on a strong note. The Huskers were led in the event identical efforts of 579 from Janine Dutton, Denise Martin and Magdalena Mical. Mical's performance was a career-best for the freshman, while Marissa Major also added a career-best at 568.
The Huskers moved to air rifle, posting a solid team mark of 2,344. Katelyn Woltersdorf and fellow senior Dutton finished in the second and fourth-place spots, respectively, for their efforts of 588 apiece. Major's career day also continued as the freshman contributed a 583 on the air rifle range.
Up Next: NCAA Championships
The Huskers will close out their season in early March as they join seven other teams to compete at the NCAA Championships. The NCAA Championships will be held March 8-9 in Columbus, Ohio at Converse Hall and French Field House. Smallbore and air rifle competition will be split over the two days, with smallbore competing on March 8 and air rifle taking place on March 9.
Successful Seniors Lead NU into Postseason
Nebraska's three seniors have continued to make an impact in the Husker lineup as NU aims to make its first NCAA championship appearance since 2010. Janine Dutton, Joyce Kim and Katelyn Woltersdorf have all made major contributions in their final seasons with Nebraska, particularly in the smallbore discipline.
Dutton has led the way for the Huskers in 2012-13, holding NU's top averages in smallbore (576), air rifle (588.2) and combined scoring (1,164.2). She is in the midst of her best scoring season yet at Nebraska, firing an average of 10 points above her career average in smallbore and three points above her air rifle average. Dutton has also earned five individual event titles throughout the season.
Woltersdorf has also fired her way to a top-notch season, holding the No. 2 average in smallbore (575.3) and the No. 2 combined scoring average (1,157.9) on the team. Her smallbore average is nearly five points above her career average in that event as well.
Kim has come on strong in the final weeks of the regular season, culminating in a career-best and event-title winning mark of 582 in smallbore at the Roger Withrow Open. She also holds the No. 7 smallbore average for the Huskers at 567.4.
Junior Contributors
Husker juniors Sunny Russell and ReAnn Wilson have made solid contributions to the NU lineup throughout the season. The duo have appeared in both team and individual competition for the Big Red in 2012-13.
Russell has appeared as a declared team competitor in all of Nebraska's 11 regular-season matches and is tied for fourth on the team in smallbore (570.4), fifth in air rifle (580.3) and fourth in combined scoring average (1,151.7). Russell's performances have gone far above her career averages, as the junior is firing over seven points above her career smallbore mark and over six points above her air rifle average.
Wilson has shown marked improvement throughout the course of the season, raising her smallbore average by nearly ten points (565.3) and her air rifle average by over five points (578.3). She posted a best performance of the season against Army on Feb. 9, earning new career-best marks in smallbore (577), air rifle (586) and combined competition (1,163).
Sophomore Hits Stride
Appearing as the lone sophomore in Nebraska's lineup this season, sophomore Kelsey Hansen is hitting her stride as one of NU's five declared competitors this season. Hansen is fourth on the team in air rifle average (582.3), tied for fourth in smallbore (570.7) and fifth combined scoring (1,151.3). In the past month of competition, she has also fired career-best marks in smallbore (581) and air rifle (589).
Freshmen Grow in First Season
With the regular season drawing to a close, the freshmen on the Nebraska rifle team have made strides in their first year with the Big Red. Alexandrea Lorentz, Marissa Major, Denise Martin and Magdalena Mical have all made improvements in the first part of their season and have competed for spots in the NU lineup.
Lorentz has shown her capability as an individual competitor in NU's meets this season, holding the eighth-highest average in smallbore at 566.8. A competitor from West Anchorage High School and the Borealis Bullseyes, Lorentz contributed to team finishes of second in 2010 and fifth in 2012 at the Junior Olympics in the Precision Team Championship.
Arriving at Nebraska from the Arvada Rifle and Pistol Club in Arvada, Colo., Major has continued to adjust to the competition level of collegiate rifle. She has particularly shown her growth in the last month of the season, firing career-bests in smallbore (568), air rifle (583) and combined scoring (1,151) at the NCAA Qualifiers. Major finished first in the NRA Junior Three-Position Air Rifle Precision competition before joining Nebraska.
Martin has been a crucial part of Nebraska's declared competitive team, earning a pair of individual titles in the Huskers' upset of Alaska-Fairbanks early in the season. A three-time Washington state champion and a member of the USA Shooting team at the 2010 International Shooting Sports Federation Junior World Championships, Martin is Nebraska's No. 3 shooter in combined scoring average (1,157.7) and No. 2 in air rifle (584.3)
Mical has shown tremendous growth throughout the season and is NU's No. 6 shooter in smallbore (569.9), air rifle (578.4) and combined scoring (1,148.3). Mical finished first in smallbore at the 2011 Florida Junior Olympic Qualifier and was a 2011 Junior Olympic National qualifier as well as the 2010 Florida Metric Prone State Champion.
Stacy Underwood Named Nebraska Rifle Coach
The Nebraska rifle program entered a new era on May 24, 2012 as the team announced former Husker shooter Stacy Underwood as its new head coach. Underwood arrived at Nebraska after spending five years as an assistant coach under Coach Harry Mullins at Kentucky. During her time at Kentucky, Underwood helped the Wildcats to a 48-8 record and five top-five NCAA finishes. UK won the 2011 NCAA Championship while adding one GARC Championship title and two GARC regular-season crowns during Underwood's tenure. Underwood also assisted in the development of 26 All-Americans while at Kentucky.
Prior to her coaching career, Underwood competed for the Nebraska rifle team from 2003 to 2007. She was a four-year letterwinner for NU and a two-time NRA All-American. Underwood was named the GARC Senior of the Year in 2007 and also earned All-GARC honors in air rifle and combined. A team captain in 2004-05, she helped the Huskers to a third-place NCAA finish that season and a fifth-place finish in 2007.
Underwood graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2007, earning a bachelor's degree in education. She added a master's degree in kinesiology and health promotion from Kentucky in 2009.

About Linda
I am a multi-material artist whose interest lies in finding materials around me and repurposing them into beautiful and functional one-of-a-kind works of art.
If you are interested in purchasing my work, contact me or come to my next showing.
I was nine years old when I first began playing with beads. My early love of color, and fashioning something beautiful by combining small parts in ways only my mind can dictate, has remained a creative staple of my life. Beadwork continues to allow me the satisfying exploration of form, color, line and flow.
These days I am influenced by natural surroundings — the ocean, beach, rocks, deserts, forests — as well as urban ones. My work is also pulled by pleasant memories, heirloom jewelry, and all things playful and pretty.
Two directives guide my interest in batik:
- Repurpose that which still has life!
- Put color back into objects — and thus into people's lives!
I love combining these passions. I get to scour used clothing stores, sweeping up those "Hawaiian shirts" I suspect were purchased on a whim and discarded years later. They have faded from age, not overuse. I get to make them playful and fun once again.
The process includes the pleasant smell of melting beeswax and the immense color satisfaction produced by Procion MX fiber reactive dyes. This is the most vivid of all dyes for cellulose fibers and I use it on cotton, linen, jute, ramie, sisal and rayon. I often layer colors on my batiks, add stencil designs, airbrush the pieces, and sometimes add a touch of gyotaku — printing fabric with real fish.
I use a wide variety of tools: rolled cardboard, mechanical parts, gears, wood cutouts, 5-6 potato mashers, plant stem bundles, etc. I'm always on the lookout for objects that can make interesting patterns and intriguing lines. Each shirt reflects my playful encounter with color and the world around me.
The lure of basket making struck me early in life. As a child I made my first baskets out of the long, wide leaves of cattails, fastening their ends with masking tape. To what can I attribute my early and intense desire to make baskets? Maybe it was the recurring pictures in National Geographic: women in far away lands walking to market with baskets on their heads. Or the knowledge that women have been weaving baskets for centuries — making beautiful and functional objects from everyday plant materials.
Like them, I use natural materials at hand — reeds and kelp — but I've branched out. I also work with leather, wire, pasta, yarn and plastic. I weave, sew and plait my baskets. I've taken advantage of living in Alaska by studying a variety of native methods: Nelson Island style, Hooper Bay style and Attu style.
Perhaps my favorite basket material is kelp, found on the beaches of Homer and Anchor Point, Alaska. Collecting this material gives me an excuse to travel outdoors. I've been gathering these long, slimey pieces since the 1990′s and I worry about their availability in the future. I've noticed distinct and changing patterns of where they land over the past two decades. Slippery kelp provides a huge challenge to the weaver but it's that one I, and those I've taught, hope to face for many more years.

It might sound strange to you, if I say that one of the ingredients of this wonderful cake is raw bread dough…
It doesn't sound strange to me because I grew up eating this cake. Boleima it's traditional from my grandparents' little village, where people didn't have much access to a lot of ingredients and had to rely mostly on their imagination to bake...
This is a dense cake, kind of chewy, with a tight crumb, very aromatic and with a slight tang (from the bread dough). I personally love it!
This recipe was given to me by my cousin that got it from her mother. My cousin always buys the bread dough to make it, but I make my one. This time I decided to experiment with the master recipe from the book Artisan Bread in five minutes a day and it worked beautifully!
- 250 gr (9oz) bread dough (raised)
- 250 gr (9oz) flour
- 250 gr (9oz) sugar
- 125 gr (4.5 oz) lard, softned (you can use butter)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 lemon (peel)
- Cinnamon sugar* (for sprinkling)
It's so simple to make! You just mix all the ingredients and you're done! I've used my hands, because I'm a hands-on kind of person, but a mixer or a spoon are fine too.
The batter is a bit odd for a cake, since it's quite elastic. I've baked mine in a square 20cm (8inch) pan, buttered and floured. One important step is to heavily sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the batter before baking. Gotta love a crunchy top!
For the Cinnamon sugar* I've used 4 tsp sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon. Bake at 350ºF (180ºC) for about 20m or until a toothpick or knife comes out clean and the top is golden.
This is the plain version, but there's also Boleima de Maçã (Apple Boleima) that is made by putting half the batter in the pan, covering it with a lot of sliced apples, walnuts and cinnamon sugar, and then top it with the rest of the batter. I think that version is even better, but since I was trying a new bread dough and wanted to keep it simple. Still it's great!
Now all you need is a cup of tea! Have you ever tried a similar cake?

Agile project management tool company VersionOne has released a suite of agile visualizations focused on enabling teams to identify problems and collaborate. Specifically, the visualizations will attempt to help users "identify impediments" in their Agile processes.
VersionOne says its tools have been built to make it easier for users to understand and manage complex work item relationships and dependencies.

Coleman Prison, Florida
March 3, 2008, Florida. Conrad
Black, 63, left his Palm Beach, Florida mansion at about 9 this morning, and drove to Coleman Prison a to begin serving a 6 1/2-year sentence for fraud and obstruction of justice.
Two other Hollinger International Inc. executives, Peter Atkinson and Jack Boultbee were also convicted of fraud. Black's former partner David Radler pleaded guilty and testified as a prosecution witness in court against Black.
Barbara & Conrad Black
at their West Palm Beach Home
Black's wife Barbara Amiel Black accompanied him in their SUV for the three drive from their home to the prison. Coleman Prison is 50 miles north west of Orlando in central Florida. It is the largest federal prison in the United States.
Coleman prison requires inmates to keep a strict daily schedule starting with getting out of bed at 6:30 am, working at an assigned job from 7:30 am to 3 pm (for 12 to 40 cents an hour - a pay cut from his estimated $12,000 to $40,000 an hour income), and a head count up to seven times a day. His access to a computer and internet access is questionable. He might have to write the old fashioned way - with paper and pencil. Nevertheless he is a resourceful and determined man.
January 17, 2008, West Vancouver.
The Conrad Black trial has left a record in recent corporate history. Never before have four directors of a public corporation been convicted of a crime.
The four are Messrs. Black, Radler, Atkinson, and Boultbee, and the corporation is Hollinger Inc., Hollinger International Inc.'s parent company.
Donald Trump recognized Black's cardinal error: On Monday, March 19, 2007, Donald Trump said, "In retrospect, he (Black) probably shouldn't have gone public."
Trump said that not everyone has the right mindset to run a public company and that Conrad Black should have kept his company off the stock exchange. "A public company is a different mindset. It's never easy for an individual entrepreneur who owns things because it is a whole different set of ideas."
Black couldn't make the transition between being an entrepreneur and senior partner in a private company to being the Chairman and CEO of a publicly traded corporation. He continued to treat the funds of a public company in the same manner as he controlled the funds of his private company.
In a belated attempt, Conrad Black tried to buy out the minority shareholders of Hollinger Inc., but that attempt ended in failure.
The whole incident has not promoted the cause of corporate governance either.
Individuals styled as corporate governance experts appear to have turned Hollinger Inc. and Hollinger International Inc. into vehicles for corporate law suits rather than productive organizations.
The benefits of corporate governance best practices have been lost in a morass of mutual recriminations.
The Conrad Black debacle was the result of ignoring basic corporate governance precepts:
1. The board of directors is responsible for governance and the management is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the corporation.
2. The board of directors must monitor management's execution of corporate policy, have monitoring processes in place, and must hold management accountable for the execution of the corporation's strategic plan.
3. The board of directors should represent and be nominated by the shareholders. Board members should not owe their allegiance or be nominated by management (unless managers act in their capacity as other shareholders).
4. Unless the CEO is the majority shareholder and there is no conflict of interest or conflict of accountability, the CEO and Chairperson positions should not be held by the same individual.

The annual Oklahoma Wildlife Expo that normally takes place during late September has been postponed this year and will be back in 2014. Instead, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation will play host to a national conference of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) around the same time the Expo normally is held.
"The Wildlife Expo is an enormous undertaking on the part of hundreds of Wildlife Department employees and volunteers," said Rhonda Hurst, Wildlife Expo coordinator for the Wildlife Department. "The manpower, time, money and personnel resources required to host the SEAFWA conference would not allow us to provide the high-quality experience normally enjoyed by Expo guests. So, the Expo will be back in 2014."
The Wildlife Expo is an annual, multiday event featuring hundreds of booths and activities to introduce people to the outdoors by letting them experience it firsthand. It's usually held the last weekend in September at the Lazy E Arena north of Oklahoma City. Expo visitors have the opportunity to participate in shooting sports such as archery and shotgun shooting, float in a kayak, catch a fish in a stocked pond, ride an all-terrain vehicle or mountain bike, attend a hunting dog training seminar or even build a birdhouse to take home with them.
"We want the Wildlife Expo to remain at the top of the list of great outdoor-related events and experiences in Oklahoma, and it will be in 2014," Hurst said.
In the meantime, the SEAFWA conference will be attended by representatives from at least 15 state wildlife agencies across the southeastern United States, where some of the best minds in wildlife and fish management can share ideas, progress, research, future plans and information to help all states better manage fish and wildlife.
"We know there will be some disappointed folks who won't get to attend the Wildlife Expo this year, especially kids," Hurst said. "We're disappointed as well. But one important thing to remember is that about 50,000 students from across the state will, in a way, get to experience the Wildlife Expo all year long by participating in the Wildlife Department's various outdoor education programs offered in about 400 schools this year."
Currently the Department offers schools an outstanding suite of program curriculum including Oklahoma National Archery in the Schools, Fishing in the Schools, Hunter Education, Explore Bowhunting and now a scholastic shooting sports program. Students are learning about outdoor activities through these programs, and Wildlife Department officials hope they will take an interest in conservation as a result of the introduction they receive in the classroom.
"Of course, the concept only works if an adult is willing to take them into the outdoors on their own time, outside of the classroom," Hurst said. "That's where you come in. We're challenging you to carry the spirit of the Wildlife Expo into the fall this year by taking a youth outdoors for a fishing or hunting experience. You'll have fun and you'll create a memory for a youth while helping them see the benefit of conservation and the role that sportsmen play in it."
The next Wildlife Expo is planned for Sept. 27-28, 2014.

Nobody will need to hold a benefit for Ryan Madson. If reports are accurate, he is in the process of doing a 1-year, $8.5 million deal with the Cincinnati Reds. He is safely in the 1 percent. Again, no tears.
But how did this happen?
How did he and agent Scott Boras miscalculate the market so badly?
I still would love to know how the whole Phillies thing went down. Reports stated that a 4-year, $44 million deal with Madson was imminent, and then it suddenly wasn't. The Phillies went instead for Jonathan Papelbon and for $50 million, and Boras was left to talk about what a strong market still existed for Madson and et cetera.
But was there a real offer on the table to Madson from the Phillies, and if there was, why was it pulled back? If Madson and Boras had said yes at some point in the process, would Madson still have been here?
And who miscalculated the dynamics of the marketplace so badly? Was it Boras, squeezing so hard that the Phillies said ouch? Was it Madson, insisting that he was worth more? Or was there never a real offer on the table, and just discussions that ended when it became clear to the Phillies that they could get Papelbon instead?
If the Phillies thing was real, it was a lot of money, and it came from Madson's current team. It also was from a team that has, in recent seasons, proven itself to be a market trendsetter. The Phillies -- with Raul Ibanez and Ryan Howard, to name just two -- arrived early and with the keys to an armored car full of cash. They guesstimated the market and they acted first and they were willing to deal with the second-guessers who said they overpaid. In both of those cases, Ibanez and Howard, they likely did overpay and still did not care and still will not care as long as you keep buying tickets at the going rate.
So if there was an offer, or something pretty close to an offer, you wonder what it was like when Madson and Boras discussed it, either face-to-face or on the phone.
Did Boras tell him to sign it? Did Madson want to sign it? Did Boras tell him he could get more from somebody else? Did Madson insist that Boras promised all along to get him more?
In other words, who drove this bus over the cliff?
The spin undoubtedly will be that they decided to take the 1-year deal because the market was lousy, and that if Madson pitches well this season, he will be able to cash in next year -- and it might just turn out that way. But when you do the risk-reward calculation, the risk being carried by Madson is enormous. Pitchers have health issues because that is what they do for a living. Closers have consistency issues because that is the nature of the position, it seems. You pitch in a bullpen, and you do that as your life's work, and you never know.
Now Madson bears all of that risk and Boras goes about his lucrative business and the Phillies go on with Papelbon. And the rest of us wonder if it was the agent or the client who botched this thing so badly.

Acute tubular necrosis is damage to the tubule cells (tiny tube-shaped cells) in the kidney that results in acute kidney failure. This is a potentially serious condition that requires medical care.
Acute tubular necrosis can be caused by:
- Lack of oxygen to kidney tissues from problems such as blood clots, surgical complications, severe dehydration, or heavy bleeding
- Exposure to toxic materials such as antibiotics, IV contrast material used for imaging, or anesthetics
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of acute tubular necrosis include:
- Injury
- Trauma
- Surgery
- Blood transfusion
- Septic shock
- Shock
- Low blood pressure
- Liver disease or damage
- Certain medications, such as aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cyclosporine, or tacrolimus
- Injections of IV contrast material used for imaging studies, such as CT scans
- Blood transfusion reaction
Exposure or build up of toxic chemicals, such as:
- Crystals (uric acid, calcium phosphate)
- Myoglobin
- Hemoglobin
Acute tubular necrosis may cause:
- Change in urine output
- General swelling, fluid retention
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dehydration
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Kidney biopsy
Images may be taken of the kidneys and surrounding structures. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment will focus on treating the conditions that are causing damage. Good nutrition and proper fluid intake will also help reduce stress on the kidneys during recovery. Treatment options may also include:
Dialysis is a process that uses a machine to assist or take over the work of your kidneys. The blood flows from catheters to a machine that removes wastes and returns it back to the body.
Certain medications may reduce the need for dialysis in some people.
Acute tubular necrosis is sometimes the result of an accident. If you have kidney disease or a history of kidney problems, follow your doctor's instructions after surgical procedures or imaging tests that required injections of contrast.

Neither Europe nor Asia, Azerbaijan is an incredible tangle of contradictions and contrasts. It's a fascinating nexus of ancient historical empires. Azerbaijan has for centuries been regarded as the threshold of Western civilisation and Eastern tradition. It is a country in which people with diverse backgrounds, religions and languages have struggled to live together, forging a national identity that is always somewhere in between East and West. Azerbaijan is probably where the Vikings came from, and definitely has the most mud volcanoes in the world. Sundry Nobels and Rothschilds made their fortunes on Baku oil and helped to found the world's first oil and gas industry here. Azerbaijan was, in 1918, the world's first Islamic democracy. Today, it's a new nation finding its feet as it emerges from a war-torn post-Soviet chrysalis on a petroleum-funded gust of optimism. Surrounded by semi-desert on the oil-rich Caspian Sea, the nation's cosmopolitan capital, Baku, is a dynamic boomtown, where flashy limousines and mushrooming skyscrapers sweep around a picturesque Unesco-listed ancient core.
The most rugged terrain is in the Southeast of Azerbaijan, which of the three Caucasian states has the greatest land area. Azerbaijan is dominated by the shoreline of the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus mountain range, and flatlands in the middle of the country. Landscape is characterized by dramatic elevation changes over short distances, from lowlands to highlands, with nearly half of the country considered mountainous. The word Azerbaijan is a distortion of the Greek word Atropates, given by the successors of Alexander the Great to the region of ancient Iran and inhabited by mysterious people known as the Albans. The word Atropates means "protected by fire," a reference to the fires in the Zoroastrian temples and to the to natural burning of surface oil deposits. Although the Albans disappeared from history, each and every ethnic group now present in the region claims ties to their ancient heritage.Naturalizer Metallic Naturalizer d谩msk茅 Charlie Sneaker Taupe Metallic Taupe Snake bfb34b9
Citrus fruits, tea, and rice are grown in the lowlands, while the slopes are covered with vineyards and orchards. Besides being a major producer of grapes, Azerbaijani agriculture is known for olives, saffron, pomegranates, nuts, vegetables, figs, and the sesame plant for seeds and oil. The fishing industry is important to the economy, with the catch consisting mostly of herring, carp, and sturgeon roe that is processed into caviar. Agriculture is the second largest industry after petroleum exploration, processing, and transportation, which is the backbone of the Azerbaijani economy.Azerbaijan travel agency "Azerbaijan24" invites you and your friends to visit this wonderful country
Yet barely three hours' drive away lies an entirely different world: timeless villages clad in lush orchards from which shepherd tracks lead into the soaring high Caucasus mountains. Where Baku is multilingual and go-ahead, the provinces shuffle to the gently paced click of nard (backgammon) on tree-shaded teahouse terraces: women stay home, herds of cattle wander aimlessly across highways, and potbellied bureaucrats scratch their heads in confusion on finding that an outsider has wandered into their territory.
Fascinating Azerbaijan has an incredible wealth of scenic contrasts, is famous for caviar and carpets and has curiosities from bizarre mud volcanoes to perpetually-burning fire temples. With amazingly varied landscapes that encompass painted deserts, vineyards, orchards, oak woodlands, snow-capped peaks, iron-wood forests, hilltop castles and magnificent canyons Azerbaijan clearly has a bright tourist potential. But as yet just a few westerners seem to ever heard about the country and can vaguely imagine its approximate location.
Visiting Azerbaijan without doubt will be an absolutely new experience to you. In many areas you may still be among the first foreign visitors locals have seen in generations. Explore Azerbaijan - the Europe's last tourist dark territory and make the most of this beautiful, varied and under-estimated land.

Visit the Whites: They're open despite shutdownEDITORIAL
October 10. 2013 9:31PM
The White Mountain National Forest is not closed this weekend. It is so large that the Obama administration could not ring it with barriers. So do not be scared out of a visit to the mountains because you heard that national parks and forests were shut down. You can hike and even camp in the White Mountains this weekend — as long as you are prepared to relieve yourself without any modern conveniences.
The administration could not close off the entire White Mountains, but it has closed the restrooms. It says the reason is that no staffers are available to clean them. But the toilets are pit toilets. Your government at work.
If you would like to make a statement in protest of the shutdown, or of the administration's scheme to inconvenience as many Americans as possible during it, there are ways to engage in some constructive civil disobedience. Go to the White Mountains this weekend. Eat out, go shopping, spend a little money. The administration has ordered 22 private campgrounds inside the White Mountain National Forest closed. You will not be able to help those businesses in the next few days, but you can limit the financial damage their forced closure will cause in the communities surrounding the forest.
You also could enjoy the forest's hiking trails, which will be spectacular this weekend, but we would advise against any tenderfeet venturing too far from trail heads. With more than 90 percent of the local Forest Service personnel furloughed and thus unavailable for rescues, inexperienced flatlanders should be extra cautious. (Anyone going for an extended outing should be fully prepared for foul weather and have a companion trained in basic first aid.)
Enjoy New Hampshire this weekend. Don't be discouraged from visiting the Whites. They are your mountains, not Obama's.

STOCKTON - Police are searching for a man with noticeably bad teeth who robbed a bank Friday in the 400 block of North Wilson Way, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Police are searching for a man with noticeably bad teeth who robbed a bank Friday in the 400 block of North Wilson Way, authorities said.
The man walked into the bank at 1:37 p.m. and handed a teller a note demanding money, police said. The note indicated the man was armed with a gun, but no weapons were seen, authorities said.
The man fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money, police said. He was described as a black man about 40 years old standing 5 feet 4 inches tall with a dark complexion and crooked yellow teeth, police said. He was last seen wearing a navy blue parka, dark baggy pants and a fur hat with ear flaps.
This is the third bank robbery in Stockton in the past two weeks. Three men robbed a Bank of the West in the 3200 block of West March Lane shortly before 6 p.m. Jan. 11. Two men were arrested in connection with the robbery that night.
A woman robbed a Chase Bank in the 2800 block of West March Lane about 3:40 p.m. last Saturday. She has not been apprehended. She was described as a black woman in her 30s standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 130 pounds with dark curly hair and a brown jumpsuit.
LODI - The Lodi Police Department and the Delta Regional Auto Theft Task Force worked quickly to recover five of six vehicles that were stolen in Lodi over a 24-hour period beginning at 8 a.m. Tuesday, police said.
It was an unusually high number of stolen vehicles for a one-day period in Lodi, but the thefts did not appear to be related, police said.
Eric Borja, 26, and Joshua Grinstead, 24, were arrested about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday in connection with the theft of a Dodge Caravan, officers said. They were apprehended just outside of Lodi near Curry Avenue and East Sargent Road. Both were on parole for auto theft, police said.
STOCKTON - Stockton police officers used a stun gun and a baton to subdue a man who battered two residents of an adult care home in the 2100 block of Pisa Circle shortly before 4:30 p.m. Thursday, authorities said.
Nathaniel Encalade Jr., 35, was arrested on suspicion of battery and resisting arrest, officers said. Encalade was struck once with the baton when he tried to pull away from officers as they arrested him, police said. The stun gun was used after Encalade tried to take the baton from an officer, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Authorities are searching for an at-risk teen who has been missing since Thursday, police said.
Eliana Castellanos, 13, was last seen about 4 p.m. Thursday near East Main and Court streets. She is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall and 160 pounds with thick, curly, shoulder-length, auburn-colored hair. She was wearing a black jacket, faded black skinny jeans and pink Converse tennis shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call Stockton Unified School District police at (209) 933-7085.

Manchester refugee agency moves from downtownBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 11. 2013 9:52PM
MANCHESTER — The International Institute of New England last month moved its refugee resettlement agency out of its long-time downtown office at 315 Pine St. to new quarters on north Elm Street.
"We moved because our space was no longer working for us and we needed new space and this particular landlord came forward and...offered us this great opportunity," International Institute of New England president and chief executive officer Carolyn Benedict-Drew said Friday. The Institute also has offices in Boston and Lowell, Mass.
The institute rents the 1850 Elm St. space from Ben Gamache, Benedict-Drew said. The new office has about the same square footage as its prior Pine Street site, she said. It moved about a month ago, she said.
She said the new site, located at the corner of Webster Street, is just as accessible to refugees as the Pine Street site, located about 1 1/3 miles south.
"We have loads of people who live near the institute. We do resettlement there. He haven't lost anybody in our ELS (English as a Second Language) classes. We haven't lost anybody in our meetings. We are as busy as ever," she said.
Mayor Ted Gatsas disagreed, saying the new location means many refugees will have farther to travel since, he said, most live in the downtown neighborhoods near Pine Street.
"It's not an easy place for them to get to," Gatsas said.
"I certainly would have thought they would have found a building in closer proximity if they were moving, versus all the way down there," he said.
Tika Acharya, executive director of the Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire, acknowledged the new site is farther away from neighborhoods were many east side refugees live, but he said most do not mind walking.
About five to 10 families living in the Valley Street area are most affected by the relocation, since the Elm Street office doubles the distance they must travel, Acharya said. Winter weather will pose a hazard to all refugees, he said.
Sr. Jacqueline R. Verville, executive director of the Holy Cross Family Learning Center on the West Side, said the new site is not as accessible as the Pine Street location and will pose particular problems in the winter for refugees, most of whom don't own cars.
"I thought it was terrible when I heard they moved over there," said Verville, a member of the Sisters of the Holy Cross. "It's much too far for them to go."
The center serves mostly Bhutanese refugees, about half of whom live on the West Side, she and Acharya said.
Despite the increased distance, Verville said, "Our people don't complain. They are wonderful. They do not complain about anything."

I like cheese almost as much as pastry. If you get back to the shop would you please taste comté for me? DL posted about a harrowing trip in the winter where turned over his vehicle to get some comté. I found some at TJs, but would like to hear what you have to say. It is like gruyere or emmental only better.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh I love Comte...I really am a hard cheese person rather than creamy though the chèvre here is out of this world. Of course ill see what they have. The key is TO BUY WHAT'S IN SEASON and only that I think so I may have to wait. On verra bien(let's hope for the best).Delete
J'aime beaucoup les fromages aussi.. encore plus que des desserts!ReplyDelete
Ton aquarelle ..fait battre mon coeur.
Carol, it's great to see some treasures nearby in your new neighborhood.ReplyDelete
French cheeses are definitely on another plane/t from those from other parts of the world.
Please do keep sampling and showing us the beautiful objets of your admiration.
Perhaps these shops and the boulangeries will keep you going until the patisserie bakers return from their holidays. Thank you for your email. I did have another ham and cheddar sandwich for lunch today.
Now try that ham on a baguette say from Eric KayserDelete
with JUST GOOD BUTTER.
Your jaw will drop to the floor. It's an eye-opener
We love cheese. not the Velveeta kind either. When I saw your haul a visual went thru my head..The movie French Kiss, Meg Ryan on the train eating all that cheese groaning the cheese the cheese and, well, you had to see it. :))ReplyDelete
Carol,You are my bible on Paris and looking at the old posts for each month'm getting to know a different town from what I experienced and it is amazing, I have my moleskine full of addresses and things to see and to taste .ReplyDelete

The best thing for me is to forget old preferences and be open-minded to new tastes.
Much more fun than sticking with Cheddar and Swiss IMHO
Just discovered your blog. Your art is absolutely beautiful. Your blog is a sumptuous banquet -- I am addicted. Thank you so much!ReplyDelete

When we returned from Provence in June, I was in love with two things: the "cheese-men" in the marches (wonderful pictures) and chevre drizzled with lavender honey. (To be honest, there were a whole lot of other things I was in love with, too.) This Saturday is our anniversary so how will we celebrate? We are signed up for a cheese making class at the Cheese School in San Francisco. You know you have crossed a threshold when that is your romantic focus, eh, eh!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Carol!ReplyDelete
How are you?????????? I have been trying to keep up with reading everyone's posts , but we have been busy in the shop..Peter's health isn't the best...... So my apologie over, I am salivating.... and your blog looks fabulous as usual.......I Crave cheese, cheese and mre cheese especialy how deliciously you present it.......... Thanks for letting us peek at what we can't get here!!!!!!!!!Maryanne xo

I've been following Paris Breakfasts for a long time and always begin my day with it because I enjoy it so much. At the moment you've been featuring French cheeses and the sublime way the French make their jambon baguette sandwiches. (Consider the French ham sandwich and the American ham sandwich and the respective national waistlines!)ReplyDelete
Just lock me in the shop on Friday night and don't come back until Monday morning.....and bring a stretcher! Slowly, slowly, Australians are also learning to appreciate chesses that aren't 'plastic', pre-sliced, individually wrapped, but that actually have flavour and texture...and smell!ReplyDelete
Cheese was my downfall in Paris. More than pastries (but that's because generally I was with Rick and I felt guiltier eating pastries than cheese, though truth be told, it's probably a wash! Probably a good thing I didn't find this one!ReplyDeleteReplies
One thing...cheese is harder to eat in the street than pastryDelete
A slight advantage no?
Can smell this shop from here. Seriously, I'm like you. Love cheese. When I was living in Scotland, the thought of chèvre made me cringe. Now after 20 yrs in France, the thought of not getting my hands on chèvre cheese makes me panic. I adore the stuff! And the others of course. Cute cheese in the shape of France. The skin is so good for you!ReplyDelete
you have such an interesting approach to blogging and your art. I like the way you include elements of art and your life. wonderfulReplyDelete

Don Smith could be found climbing the steps to the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse in Hannibal this week.
Don Smith could be found climbing the steps to the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse in Hannibal this week. However, the Milwaukee man was not training for the Shine a Light on Autism Lighthouse Challenge in April, but for November's Willis (Sears) Tower Stair Climb in Chicago.
"While I'm visiting here I thought I would run the 244 steps from the bottom to the top several times," said Smith of the lighthouse steps. "I take no breaks, except for the running down part which works the leg muscles a little differently. I thought I might as well take advantage of that."
On Monday, Smith went up and down the stairs six times.
"Ultimately I want to do about 10 (stair reps). It may not be here, but back home. That will be over 2,000 steps," he said, explaining his continued training will likely take place on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan.
Once winter sets in, Smith may be forced to abandon steps for his workout.
"If stairs don't work as winter gets along I try to find the steepest hill I can climb," he said. "It's an excellent workout. It may be a little hard on the knees coming down, so I just try to walk down real fast. But going up isn't bad."
Smith, who strives to maintain a steady pace, estimates he can make the lighthouse climb in around three minutes.
"It's not very fast," he said. "I don't run because there are so many stairs. There are two level areas. I just jog those, so it's like a little break and then I continue up."
Keeping an even pace is also Smith's philosophy when participating in the upcoming Chicago event.
"There are people who just sprint up these things, but I don't do that at the Sears Tower. It takes me about 25 or 26 minutes to run from the bottom to the top, and that's 103 floors," he said. "There are some people who do it in 12 minutes. They either run every step or every other step and use the handrails to pull themselves up. I don't do that. It's just legs; just fast walking. It's tough, but I enjoy it."
Race walking
Rather than run all the time, Smith does race walking.
"It's something I've been doing the last few years to complement my running. Running seems to cause more injuries," he said. "My pace for race walking is 9:30 a mile. For a half marathon I do around 10 minutes per mile."
Race walking is not just about walking fast, according to Smith.
"It's hard to do because there's a lot of technique involved like keeping your knees straight, making sure you always have one foot on the ground and are not running or floating," he said. "It looks peculiar, but it's a better exercise because you work your whole body. I've found it to be (better) and it helps my running, too. Since I've gotten older and heavier I kind of gravitate toward walking. Fewer injuries."
Smith has been in the area for a while. He participated in the Hannibal Cannibal in early July, took part in a seven-mile event in the Quad Cities area on July 27 and will participate in Saturday's Mississippi River Run in Hannibal.
"This (Saturday's event) will complete a nice circuit of races," said the school teacher.
Smith, who is staying at Garth Mansion, is no stranger to the Hannibal Cannibal.
"The conditions here with the humidity especially ... it's pretty good," he said. "Plus Lover's Leap... That's a hard one to get up and down on. Even harder yet is that Highway 79. It's a long, long climb up, even though it's a lot less steep.
"(Hannibal Cannibal) is a nice crowd (of runners). It's a little congested at the start, but it spreads out real quick once you go over that first bridge, and it's a very scenic route, too. The biggest challenge I think is the humidity in the morning."
This will be the first time Smith has participated in the Mississippi River Run.
"It looks very scenic. You get great views of the Mississippi," he said. "Since I'm staying I thought I might as well do another one (race)."

The Rum Howler Awards – The Rum Wrap Up
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 22, 2010
Today I am wrapping up the Rum portion of my Rum Howler Awards presenting what might be considered the 'grand prize' awards for best rums I have tasted over the past year. I wanted to be completely fair about things so I decided that perhaps I should bring in some help and have the final tasting session done by panel rather than by myself alone.
All final tastings were done in a blind format. The panel members were not even tasting the same spirits at the same time. The rums were ranked by each panel member and then the rankings were compared to choose the best spirit for each category. Categories based loosely on age and price were established as you can see below:
The Rum Howler Award for Best Rum (aged 5 years or less):
(A price point below $37.50 in my market (Alberta) was also required.)
Juan Santos 5 Year
Honourable mention, Bermudez Ron Anejo 1852, El Dorado 5, and Diplomático Añejo,
This was a very close race with each of the four finalists receiving at least one first place vote from each of the panel members. In the end, The Juan Santos was a clear winner receiving second place votes on every scorecard where it was not ranked number one. For those who are not familiar with Juan Santos, it is a Colombian Rum produced by Casa Santana and is sold in some markets as Ron Santero 5 Anos. In all 9 rums were considered here and the four mentioned were the cream of the crop.
The Rum Howler Award for Best Rum: (aged 10 years or less)
(The rums must also be priced below $50.00 per 750ml in my market of Alberta)
Bermudez Don Armando
Honourable mention to, Juan Santos 9 Year, Diplomatico Reserva, and Bacardi 8 Yr Old Rum
The Colombian rums from Casa Santana just keep surprising the panel. However a bigger surprise was the Bermudez Don Amando which scored highly on every panel members scorecards. A soft light bodied rum which seemed to win everyone over. The Diplomatico Reserva and the Bacardi 8 yr had strong advocates as well but, the scoring was not as consistently high. In all eight rums were considered for this award.
The Rum Howler Award for The Rum of the Year:
(Age and price irrelevant)
Cubaney 25 Solera
Honourable mention Appleton Estate Master Blender's Legacy, Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva, and Juan Santos 21 Year.
What a finish for the Rum of the year Selection! A completely surprising result as the unexpected Sample bottle sent to me just recently by Oliver and Oliver (via Pavol Kazimer of Drums) literally ran away with the title on every panel members scorecards. On some cards it wasn't even close. The Appleton Master Blender's Legacy showed much better than I anticipated, and South America had two rums in the final four.
And here is a summary of this portion of the Rum Howler 2010 Rum Awards
The Rum Howler Award for The Rum of the Year, Cubaney 25 Solera
The Rum Howler Award for Best Rum (aged 10 years or less), Bermudez Don Armando
The Rum Howler Award for Best Rum (aged 5 years or less), Juan Santos 5 Year
All of my 2010 Rum Awards can be found on this summary page:
The Rum Howler Awards for Rum Excellence!
