God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ send you grace and peace of mind. | |
3 | We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, | We thank God the Father of Jesus Christ, and we are always praying for you. | |
4 | Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints, | We have heard of your faith in JEsus Christ and the love you have for all the believers, | |
5 | For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; | on account of the hope laid up for you in heaven, that you heard of before in the Word of the Truth of the Gospel, | |
6 | Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth: | which has come to you, as in all the world, and brings out fruit, as it does in you as well,l since the day you heard about it and knew the grace of God in truth. | |

19 | For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; | For it was pleasing to the Father that in Him all fullness should live, | |
20 | And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven. | and, having made peace by means of the blood from His cross, to reconcile all things to Himself through Him.

17 | Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ. | These are a shadow of things to come, but the body comes from Christ. | |

If, like most in this current climate, you like to eat out but can't afford most pricey restaurants there are still plenty of options for good grub in Dublin's fair city.
Top of my personal List is:
My favourite Mexican restaurant in Dublin, it's cheap and you won't be looking for another meal anytime soon after you have one of their monster Burritos and Fajitas. Their Burritos are the size of your head and you get to pick exactly what meat, rice, salsa, beans, peppers, cheese and sauces go in to your burrito, it's all made to your taste.
I personally have an 'irish-tongue' as I'd call it and can't exactly handle anything too spicy so this is great as I get to decide how spicy (if even at all) my burrito is. They even have vegetarian options. With all the fillings and no extras it's an amazing €6.25.
If you're one of those "fussy eaters" then Cornucopia is for you. Seriously, they have an amazing menu of vegetarian and vegan meals. No meat on the menu. Perfect for the leaf eater traveler or a light lunch. We urge that even if you eat meat that this place is banging for top quality munch.
Gluten free, lactose free, nut free! The owners and cooks are very conscious of customers' dietary needs and produce lovely meals. They also have an organic wine list and host talks on nutritional and environmental eating.
O'Shea's is the best, nearest, place for a quick bite if you're fresh off the boat and looking for some fuel. 2 minute walk from the hostel, it will tick all the boxes generally for all meals across the board. Irish Breakfast (eg Hangover delight) to a low cost soup and sandwich deal at lunch to your standard a la carte menu. Your first stop HAS to be the chicken wings. All of the above things mentioned are €10.oo and under. O'sheas are also capable to take big groups. Great pint too! Irish Traditional Music. It's a no brainer really.
Jimmy Chungs
This Chinese restaurant I can only ever go to with at least a days notice (to fast before the gorging begins). When they say 'All you can eat' they are not lying, as I've found out. I have personally and shamefully had more than I'd like to admit in one sitting. The food is soo good you just have to get up for another helping…of EVERYTHING! And my favourite part is their ice-cream machine complimented with all of their delicious caramel and chocolate toppings.
Their 'All you can eat' dinners during the week will cost you €13.90 but you will not be going hungry for days after as long as you fully take advantage of the buffet.
Thai Spice
This is my favourite Thai restaurant in all of Dublin. Everything on their menu is soo good it makes it hard to choose. It is conveniently located just across the road from JacobsInn and I have had one too many lunches from there (for research purposes of course!). And for around €9.00 for a main course it is well worth a try. I've even found their main courses are enough for two people if you're really tryna be tight with the purse strings (as I often am).

As the Left Now Controls Every Lever of Power, the Blairite Maoist Takeover of Britain Is Only a Matter of Time
"Do not worry too much about the statues which are now coming down. ... Worry more about the ones they are soon going to be putting up, and what they will represent"
What we now face is regime change. That is why these strange crowds have begun to gather round ancient and forgotten monuments, demanding their removal and destruction.
They do not know what they want, or understand what they are destroying. But that no longer matters. They think their moment has come, and they may well be right.
This is why the memorial to Winston Churchill, and the Cenotaph itself, were shamefully boarded up on Thursday night – an act of appeasement if ever there truly was one.
That is why police chiefs kneel like conquered slaves to the new gods of woke, and the leaders of the Labour Party do likewise. I have seen it happen before, but only when things were moving in the opposite direction.
Hundreds of people on Oxford Street kneel before Peter Hitchens who promises to lead us through these trying times.@ClarkeMicah pic.twitter.com/JopZrwF3NG

Then, as the Soviet Empire fell and an evil thing was swept from the world, it was a matter for rejoicing. The bloody mass murderer Vladimir Lenin, and his equally gory secret police enforcer Felix Dzerzhinsky, were pulled from their pedestals by a people sick of being ruled by their heirs.
This time, as ignorant armies seek the final abolition of Britain, it is very frightening. I would not like to say where it will end. I cannot claim to have known this would happen but I will say that I had an instinctive fear of very bad things to come when the country began its mad, wild shutdown in March.
I have learned over many years to trust my instincts, to take that train, to make that phone call, to turn that corner. When I have heeded them I have either benefited or been saved from bad things. When I have ignored them I have been hurt. It may be inherited from our forebears, or learned by decades of experience. It may be a mixture of the two.
But on crucial occasions we know more than we think we do. And as the cities began to darken and empty, and the world as we knew it started to close, I feared that we should never again see the lights lit again as they had been before. It was like the start of a great war without limit, made more perplexing because there was no obvious end to it, ever.
This was not just about a disease and a wholly overdone response to it. It was like the death of Princess Diana and the fall of the Twin Towers gathered together into a single great mass of unreason and panic.
The Diana episode had been a Dictatorship of Grief, in which even the most revered parts of the establishment had bowed to the mob. 'Show us you care!' shouted the headlines. And woe betide those who did not.
Then came September 11, 2001, and a Dictatorship of Security. No argument could withstand the claim that safety was paramount, and we willingly made a bonfire of our freedoms, wrongly persuaded that we could trust our governments not to take advantage.
And now we have the Dictatorship of Fear. It is not the largely fictional 'R' number which governs the behaviour of our feeble Government, which is only just beginning to grasp how much damage it has done and how hard it will be to repair. It is the 'F' number, the number of people scared into pathetic timidity by the slick but false claim we were all at risk from a terrible and devastating disease.
The numbers of dead are grossly inflated by an incredibly lax recording system, which does not distinguish between those who died of Covid-19 and those who died of other things but may have been infected by it. Many who have died of Covid-19 are almost certainly victims of the Government's failure to protect those who were in fact most vulnerable – the residents of care homes.
The sad but unavoidable fact, that the disease is little danger to most young and healthy people but is especially deadly to the old and ill, is also now beyond dispute.
The initial claims of Imperial College London, that half a million might die if strict shutdown measures were not taken, have been devastatingly dismantled by other experts, who believe its methods and codes are, to put it mildly, hopelessly wrong.
Yet Imperial's chief spokesman, Professor Neil Ferguson (caught ignoring his own advice with a girlfriend), has the double nerve to claim the rules he flouted should have been introduced even earlier. By contrast, Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford, says that the shutdown should be lifted immediately.
Thanks to the barefaced dishonesty and unlawful bias of the BBC, and also the pitifully bad coverage of several newspapers, millions are unaware the whole basis of Government policy is now completely exploded by scientific experts. Even the truth about Sweden, which did not shut down, is obscured by incessant hostile reporting.
Sweden followed Britain in one thing – failing to protect care homes, and so it has had a higher death toll than it should have done. But even so, its experience – along with Japan – shows clearly that there is no link between shutdown and the number of deaths suffered.
The ceaseless assumption of the Government and the BBC that the shutdown 'protected' the NHS is simply not borne out by any facts. The NHS was never going to be overwhelmed. Covid deaths in this country peaked on April 8 – an event far too soon to have been caused by the shutdown announced on March 23 and begun the following day.
In fact, the country with the highest number of deaths per head is Belgium (843 per million). Yet Belgium introduced one of the tightest and most severe shutdowns on the planet. Sweden, without a shutdown at all, has suffered 472 deaths per million.
The UK figure of 620 per million may be inflated by our lax recording methods but hardly suggests that we did better than Sweden by throttling our economy and grossly interfering in personal liberty. Japan, which also did not shut down, suffered just over seven (yes, seven) deaths per million.
It is as if some establishments, including our own, wanted a crisis and used their control of information to achieve one. And still it continues. As of tomorrow, in a symbolic moment never to be forgotten, users of trains and buses will be compelled to wear muzzles or forbidden to travel.
The legal basis for this is highly doubtful. The medical basis for it is more doubtful still. These muzzles have been described as being as much use against a microscopic virus as a chain-link fence would be against mosquitoes.
As the distinguished pathologist Dr John Lee asked, after examining the evidence for and against, 'does any of what is out there add up to a watertight case for compelling people to wear masks in public or at work (outside a healthcare setting)? The threshold for compulsion must surely be higher than "maybe" and "perhaps.'"
I am fairly sure these measures, like the house arrest and sunbathing bans which came before, have another purpose. They accustom us to being told what to do. Stand there. Wait there. Don't use cash. Don't cross that line. They permanently change the relationship between the inpidual and the state.
Not only can the Government now tell us where we must live and when or if we can go out. Not only can it tell us who we can sleep with (apart from Professor Ferguson, who is still allowed to pontificate after brazenly breaking these rules). It can now even tell us what to wear.
This is something I have not had to endure since my schooldays. What is even more startling is that it can tell me what to wear on my head and on my face, which is somehow even more personal and more intrusive.
I well remember the moment of liberation on the day I left my Devon preparatory school for the last time, and hurled my annoying cap from a high viaduct (it was a school tradition) as the train took me towards the grown-up world I longed to join.
All subsequent efforts to get me to wear such a thing failed. As soon as this lockdown began I could see most of this coming. It was clearly a revolution. And as the long weeks dragged by, something else became clear. The actual time it was taking was important.
During these long dreamy weeks we have bit by bit forgotten who we were before, how we lived, what we thought, what we expected of life. I believe that forces hostile to our country, its history and nature, have seen this as an opportunity. Probably incredulous to begin with, they realised the British people really had gone soft, accepting absurd and humiliating diktats, believing the most ridiculous claims.
They also noticed that formerly great institutions and forces – the church, Parliament, the police, the armed services, much of Fleet Street, the universities – submitted to it without so much as a sigh. So did what remained of our great industrial and commercial companies.
There was, on top of this, an increasingly feverish atmosphere. Deprived of normal routines and circles of friendship, many people became strained and suggestible.
They were discontented but not allowed to protest against the thing which was oppressing them, the shutdown, since from every quarter they were told it was justified. Almost any spark could have ignited this rich mixture.
As it happens, it was the death in Minneapolis, a city most British people will never even see, of George Floyd. Seeing the surging crowds, the rioting and the looting in the USA, the British radical Left grew jealous.
They imported the protest, converted it into outrage against some mouldering statues, and set the streets alight. Last week I attended one of these demonstrations, against the statue of Cecil Rhodes in Oxford. I have lived in Oxford for more than 50 years and I went out of interest, not because I care especially about this mediocre sculpture of a questionable man.
The event was utterly incoherent, moving from vague rage against the long-dead Rhodes to concerns about the oppression of West Papua to shouts against colonialism. As far as I know, China is the only major colonial power left. Peking is certainly raping Africa on a scale Cecil Rhodes never dreamed of.
But such people can't quite bring themselves to attack that particular regime. Sometimes I think the radical Left are more nostalgic for the British Empire than any retired Indian Army colonel ever was.
They need it, to hate it. Its utter deadness is a nuisance to them. I became briefly famous because, when the crowd were invited to sit down for eight minutes and 46 seconds, with fists clenched, to commemorate Mr Floyd, I did not join in. One of the protesters accused me of refusing to 'take the knee'.
It is true I would have refused to do so if asked, but in fact they were 'taking the buttock', a slightly different thing. The important thing about these protesters, lauded by the Labour Party and deferred to by police chiefs, is that they help to strengthen the new establishment and destroy the old one.
They have already helped to make it very hard for traditional, normal, Christian conservative and patriotic opinions to be expressed at all. By using social media as a form of discipline, they have made everyone – including the Left-wing multimillionaire author J.K. Rowling – fear them.
Anyone, as she learned last week, can now be 'cancelled' – the new radicals' chilling word for the obliteration they like to visit on their victims. She has been pursued for saying the wrong thing about the transgender issue. In fact, there is no right thing. I have known for years it was futile to try to respond with fairness and reason to the new orthodoxy.
However carefully and generously I might argue, I would still be denounced for thought crime. You cannot be right, nor can you know if you are right. That is a large part of the trick.
No actual debate can take place in these conditions. And where there is no debate there is no freedom. I have also pointed out for years – without effect – that the police were long ago infiltrated with radical Left-wing thought.
I warned of Cressida Dick in 2004, noticing her early experiments in 'negotiating' with demonstrators rather than reclaiming the streets from them, and predicting that she would be the first female Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
I pointed out that Labour's smoothie Mandelsonian and Blairite Eurocommunists were far more dangerous than Jeremy Corbyn's crude and obvious Marxism.
Now, when Sir Keir Starmer (another one of those who dallied with a Trotskyist sect in the 1980s) kneels in supplication to the new orthodoxy, who wants to tell me he is a 'moderate'?
People thought this frothing, intolerant Leftism did not matter or was a minor issue on the edge of our society. But in fact it was the first wave of a new orthodoxy which will shortly be dominating all our lives. And it is the Covid frenzy which has made its final triumph much closer.
For the Tory Party – in office but not in power – has over the past few months done the militant Left a huge favour. It has destroyed itself – voters will not forgive the mess it has made of their lives and of the economy, especially when they get the bill and the inevitable public inquiry reveals just how wrong they were.
The Johnson Government is now just keeping Downing Street warm for Sir Keir and his Blairite legions. But this will be far worse than 1997, when the Blairites moved softly and cautiously, nervous that they might rouse the Forces of Conservatism.
For the past few weeks have also demonstrated that all the pillars of British freedom and civilisation are hollow and rotten, and that we are ripe for a sweeping cultural revolution as devastating as the one Lenin and Dzerzhinsky launched in Petrograd in 1917.
Except that this time there will be no need to storm the Winter Palace, seize the railway station or the telephone exchange or the barracks. The Left are already in control of every lever of power and influence, from the schools the Tories are too weak to reopen to the police, the Civil Service, the courts and the BBC.
It is regime change. Do not worry too much about the statues which are now coming down. They mean surprisingly little. Worry more about the ones they are soon going to be putting up, and what they will represent. Perhaps our grandchildren will find the courage to pull them down.

What are all the options for sign up forms?
Creating a sign up form is one of the most important first steps you can take toward email marketing success. In your AWeber account, you'll find a few different sign up form options, each designed to grab attention from prospects and customers.
To Create A Pop Up / Lightbox / Pop-Over Sign Up Form
- Go to the "Sign Up Forms" page and either create a new form or edit an existing one.
- Just underneath the "Elements" section, you'll find a toolbar with a drop-down box labeled "Form Type."
Click on the "Type" drop-down menu to select from the available form types.
You can hit the Preview button in the Sign Up Form Generator to see how they work, or view the demos below in this article.
The pre-selected option renders your form directly on the page - it is not a pop up of any type.
This form appears above the content on your web page. It is not technically a pop-up, since it does not open in a new window. Because of this, it is not blocked by pop-up blockers.
It can be set to appear immediately when your page loads, or you can have it fade in or slide in from any direction on the page.
Like the "Pop-Over" form type, the Lightbox appears above the content on your webpage and you can control how it appears on the page. In addition, it also darkens the content behind it on your page with a semi-transparent mask to help focus the visitor on the form.
This type loads your form in a traditional pop-up, in a new window. While generally the Pop-Over and Lightbox forms are recommended over the Pop-Up type, there is an option unique to this type to allow you to display a form to visitors at the point of leaving the page it is published to. - Once you have selected the form type you prefer, you should customize exactly how it will appear on your page using the options that appear.
Depending on which type you selected, you can customize different options:
Display Options (Pop-Over, Pop-Up, and Lightbox Only)
This option sets whether and how your form will animate as it appears on the page.
By default, your form will appear instantly, once your page loads. If you'd prefer for it to appear after a delay, enter how long you'd like for visitors to wait, in seconds.
While pop-ups provide a great means toward grabbing your visitors' attention to help build your list, if it is not the only priority you've assigned to your web page, having it load every time a visitor sees your site may prove to be an annoyance for them.
Instead, you might consider having the pop-up appear only once or every certain number of days. Select how often you'd like for it to appear. If you select "Show Every X Number of Days", be sure to also set how many days you'd like to skip between showing a visitor your pop-up form.
Note: When publishing a pop-up form to your site, we always recommend also publishing an in-line form so that visitors have an opportunity to sign up even if they don't see your pop-up.
With the Pop-Up form type, you may have it appear only once a visitor has left the page it is published to, or have it show in a window that does not immediately appear to the visitor (also known as a pop-under).
Note: Pop-up forms are blocked by most browsers and pop-up blockers, so publishing a pop-up form may not appear for all visitors. - Finish the design and setup of your form, much like you would any other. While you can design a form from scratch or choose any template, there are sign up form templates designed specifically for pop-ups. You'll find them under the Hover Forms category.
- Once you've designed your form, save it and publish it to your website. Place the form code just beneath the body tag in your page.

I love being a part of this fantastic group of food bloggers, the Kosher Connection. Each month, we are challenged to cook up some wonderful and unique foods. Each link-up is fun and new. I love seeing the assortment of goodies that the group comes up with. This month was especially difficult. We were tasked with a Chopped style challenge. Like the popular Food Network show, we were given three ingredients to build our dish around. For the most part, we had free reign, but the dish had to include canned corn, pears and Mike & Ike candies.
I had a very hard time coming up with something for the dish. Creating something that involved all three ingredients was super tough. I had initially planned a tofu dish that included a Korean pear based sauce. My husband nixed the idea in favor of something fried. He urged me to make a fritter. I don't really like frying things, but with Chanukah coming up next month, I decided that if this worked out, it would be perfect for Chanukah. It's traditional to have fried foods to recognize the miracle of the oil in the ancient temple.
He suggested some sort of latke, but as I brainstormed a bit, I settled on a fritter. I know, not that far off. But there is a difference. I scribbled a slew of ideas on paper. Once I had the house to myself though, I got to work. I settled on a corn and cheese fritter when I saw a brick of pepper jack cheese sitting in the fridge. I quickly picked up a carton of buttermilk at Trader Joe's and worked out a quick fritter recipe. The fritters did not disappoint!
I mixed up the canned corn with the cheese, some chopped onion, spices, buttermilk, eggs, flour and baking powder.
I scooped them up and fried them in a couple of inches of hot oil.
I then drained the fritters on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath.
Incorporating the Asian pears and the Mike & Ike candies proved more challenging. I wanted a pear chutney to dip the fritters in to. I peeled and chopped up the asian pears and began cooking them down with some ginger and water. I also added the Mike & Ike candies to let them get infused with the candy flavor. When tasting the sauce, it was definitely too sweet. I knew that it needed something savory along with some heat.
I added some chopped jalapeño, onion and vinegar and cooked it a bit more. Once everything was softened, I pureed the mixture with my immersion blender.
While the pear and Mike & Ike salsa isn't perfect, it's getting there. I call it a work a progress. To be honest, I will leave the candies out the next time I set out to make this dish. It was definitely fun to try my hand at this though.
The fritters have gone on the short list though and will definitely be made next month for Chanukah. The crunch and light outside and the creamy cheese filling. One word. Amazing! Make them now!
Disclaimer: The pear salsa was made as part of the chopped style challenge. I highly recommend you make the fritters. The fritters are amazing. I'm not quite sold on pear salsa with mike & ike candies. I do recommend a pear salsa without the candy!
- 1 can whole kernel white corn, drained
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 1.5 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- oil for frying
- 2 asian pears, peeled and cubed
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 1 inch ginger, chopped
- ½ jalapeno, minced
- 2 tbsp. water
- 2 tsp. salt
- 3 tsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. ground pepper
- ½ cup Mike & Ike candies (I used two of the fun size boxes) - optional
- Mix all of the fritter ingredients, except for the vegetable oil, in a mixing bowl.
- Heat up about 2 inches of oil to 350 in a heavy bottomed pan or pot.
- Scoop a couple of tablespoons of fritter batter. I used an ice cream scoop. Drop in the hot oil and fry about a minute or two per side. Flip the fritter when browned.
- Transfer fritter to a cooling rack placed over paper towels to drain and cool
- Peel and chop up the pears
- Place in a saucepan with the water, ginger and the mike and candies.
- Add in the onion, jalapeno, vinegar and spices.
- Allow mixture to soften.
- Once softened, blend with an immersion blender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

When it comes to adventure, she's stop and he's go. When it comes to romance, he's yes and she's no.
Can billionaire Dylan Delaney overcome his adrenaline addiction with life coach Greta Larsen's help before he loses his technology empire? Can she move past the death of her husband to find love again?
When Greta finds herself attracted to her very rich, very handsome new client, she sees it as a betrayal of her late husband. Despite her feelings of guilt, she can't walk away from Dylan, especially when she learns he harbors his own grief.
His secret sorrow is the key to Dylan's love of danger. Greta is determined to unlock his mysterious past so he'll stop courting death. What she doesn't count on is the passion she frees.
Dylan's never met a woman who could slow him down. Until now. Greta teaches him to be mindful of the moment, but soon his every moment is filled with thoughts of her. Has he replaced one addiction with another?
Hearts Race is the follow-up story to Riverswept and the second book in the Burns Class of Love series. The story returns readers to the small town of Burns, Virginia and also introduces them to the Blue Ridge Mountains around Charlottesville, Virginia.
She glanced at the pool and saw the top of Dylan's dark head as he cut through the water. "Why am I here?"
Ben snapped shut the laptop and turned to watch his friend swim. "In theory, to help Dylan overcome his problems so he won't lose his company. In practice…well, that's another matter."
Her throat tightened. "This is a waste of my time."
"You're getting paid well."
"I want to earn it." She heard the irritation in her voice. Ben must have, too, because he peered at her with alarm.
"I'll talk with him and see if I can get him to take this more seriously."
She nodded and looked back at the pool. Dylan had climbed out of the water. He wore red swim trunks, modest but not baggy. He ran his hand down his chest and skimmed the water from his skin, dispersing droplets that looked like sunlit diamonds. He had the build of a natural athlete, not overly muscular but firm. When he turned to grab a towel, she saw scars crisscrossing his back, telling the tale of his many mishaps. After he dried off, he padded barefoot to the pavilion and grabbed a bottle of cold water.
He chugged it all and then swiped his mouth with the back of his arm. He smiled at her. "Did you come down here to chew me out?"
She felt her face grow warm. "Why didn't you meet me like we agreed you would do?"
He looked at Ben, who just shrugged and opened his laptop again. Dylan sighed and lifted his head to the ceiling. A fan stirred the air above them. Greta saw goosebumps pop up on his arms and she felt the urge to run her fingertips over his skin. Her fingers twitched.

'Fast and Furious 7′ Star Vin Diesel Welcomes Paul Walker's Brothers to the Set
There is no easy way to finish 'Fast and Furious 7' without being somewhat insensitive toward the tragic death of series lead Paul Walker, but the cast and crew found the best and most noble solution imaginable. We already knew that Walker's brothers were going to join the production to help finish the film as body doubles, but they officially arrived on set and it looks like this plan is going to work.
Vin Diesel shared the image above via his Facebook page, and, yes, you have every right to be thoroughly moved. Over six increasingly B-A-N-A-N-A-S movies, the 'Fast and Furious' franchise stopped being all about cars and stunts and started being all about the importance of family, so the involvement of Walker's brothers is a solution that's actually thematically resonant with the series as a whole. Caleb (on the left) doesn't look too much like Paul, but Cody (on the right) is his spitting image. In wide shots (or through a car window), it'll be hard to tell the difference.
Here's the message Diesel posted alongside the image. Once again, you are allowed to cry manly, macho tears:
When I heard the news, I left the production, grabbed a plane and took my family and Michelle back to LA... drove directly to his parent's house...
His Father said, Paul loved you Vin... I awkwardly and nervously said, aw come on... then he said... you don't have to get along every second to love each other... so true.
P.s. After spending time with his biological brothers, I must say to the parents, you raised some great kids.
'Fast and Furious 7' will open April 10, 2015.

Internet Technologies, Inc. (Inttek (TM)) has developed a highly effective E-Commerce System with the ability to work directly with Hell's Kitchen Systems CCVS.
For more information, visit our site: www.penguincommerce.com. Visit www.megcor.com for a working commercial example. The megcor.com site sold almost $1000.00 in golf equipment the first weekend it went live. More examples will be coming soon.
The System is hosted on a remote Application Server -- The only required on-site hardware/software is a PC and Web Browser. No knowledge of HTML is needed.
Technical Overview:
Penguin Commerce uses proprietary Software Developed by Internet Technologies, Inc.
Penguin Commerce is based on the following:
Red Hat Linux (currently running on 5.2)
Red Hat Secure Server -- (based on Red Hat Secure Server with modification)
Our secure web servers run a customized version of the Red Hat Secure Server release. We continually upgrade and improve these servers for maximum security.
MySQL Database Engine
PHP Version 4 (including custom Inttek extensions)
Various types of Open Source Image processing software
PGP Encryption Technology
PGP is used throughout our E-Commerce solutions to provide security for sensitive data. For example, before customer credit card numbers are stored in the MySQL database, they are encrypted to ensure privacy in the event that the data transmission to the MySQL server is compromised.
Hell's Kitchen Systems CCVS (including custom network connection program)
HKS CCVS software runs on a separate server, connected to the secure web server via a private Ethernet connection utilizing non-routed IP addresses. This, plus aggressive packet filtering, guarantees that the CCVS server is available for connections from the secure server only. All access to the CCVS server is controlled to prevent unauthorized access to any credit card numbers stored in plain text form.
Connections to the CCVS software are made through the standard Linux inetd service, which calls an intermediary program to translate commands and output between the secure web server and the CCVS software. This intermediate software, written in C with the CCVS C language API, is designed as an extra layer of abstraction, insulating the web programmer from the details of credit card processing, and generalizing the credit card processing interface. This will allow us to present a consistent interface to web designers and programmers, regardless of the details of our credit card processing implementation. Our intent was to keep the credit card intelligence on the CCVS server, not the web server.
An overview of the physical layout is as follows:
(Internet) | General Firewall (running RedHat Linux) | Apache Web Server running PHP4 and MySql (running RedHat Linux) | Secure Server Running the RedHat Secure Server Distribution | (Private Ethernet Segment) | HKS CCVS Server Running CCVS and custom CCVS connection software (running RedHat Linux) | Modem with phone line to connect to Vendors Merchant Account (For security purposes, the HKS CCVS Server will not accept incoming phone calls via the modem)
Milestone achievements of Inttek or Inttek engineers that involved Linux:
Qarbon.com, the originator of Viewlets, and SuSE Inc, a leading international Linux distribution, announced the launch of Qarbon.com's "The Linux Viewlet Project." Viewlets are a Web innovation that changes help files and FAQ's into vivid and dramatic "How To" demonstrations that "show" rather than "tell" a user how to perform a specific computing task. The introduction of Viewlets to the Linux community allows Linux developers and users from around the world to create, use and exchange Viewlets, which answer thousands of questions. Keeping with the Linux spirit, Viewlets are free to everyone on the net. Qarbon.com's business model includes a free Viewlet development tool, advertising-based revenue sharing for Viewlet authors and participating web sites,and a Viewlet syndication process designed to promote the use of Viewlets across the web.
To see some of the first Viewlets built around SuSE's Linux 6.3 go to www.teach2earn.com/linux/. Viewlets are expected to be a boon to increasing the use of Linux as users and developers see how Viewlets solve problems, reduces help desk calls and facilitates installation and use.

DENVER - LinuxMall.com, is urging the adoption of certification standards developed by the Linux Professional Institute. The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to establishing professional vendor-neutral certification for the Linux Operating System.
Mark Bolzern, President of LinuxMall.com, is a member of the LPI Advisory Council and a sponsor of the organization. LinuxMall.com joins the company of other industry leaders like IBM, Caldera Systems, and Hewlett-Packard in supporting LPI's mission to certify the talent and hard work of Linux professionals throughout the world.
The first exam for LPI certification was launched in January 2000, offering an incentive program of Linux-related utilities to participants. LinuxMall.com has donated over a hundred of incentive items-including t-shirts and Tux the penguin mascots-to participants who have completed the initial phase of testing. In addition, LinuxMall.com provided the fulfillment and distribution of all prizes donated by other LPI sponsors. "Because of the neutrality of LPI certification, businesses will gain a higher level of confidence in the abilities of the professionals they hire," adds Bolzern. "It's far more credible than certification standards established by a single company, such as the MSCE standard."
DENVER - LinuxMall.com announces an agreement with EarthWeb's Dice.com that will allow customized Linux job searches directly from the site by simply placing Linux in the job search string. LinuxMall.com will continue to enhance and improve job-related information such as training and education within the LinuxMall.com site.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday defended his decision to release five Afghan detainees from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for an American soldier's freedom, saying his administration had consulted with Congress about that possibility "for some time."
Obama also brushed aside questions about the circumstances surrounding Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's capture by insurgents in 2009. The United States, he said, has a "sacred" obligation to not leave men and women in uniform behind.
"Regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an American soldier back if he's held in captivity," Obama said during a news conference in Poland as he opened a three-country European visit. "We don't condition that."
There have long been questions about how Bergdahl disappeared from his unit nearly five years ago. The Pentagon concluded in 2010 that Bergdahl walked away, and, after an initial flurry of searching, the military curbed any high-risk rescue plans.
Despite the Pentagon's conclusions, Obama said the government was not currently seeking to punish Bergdahl as a deserter.
"Our main priority is making sure the transition that he's undergoing after five years in captivity is successful," he said.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday that the Army may still pursue an investigation that could lead to desertion charges against Bergdahl. He noted that U.S. military leaders have been accused of "looking away from misconduct" and said "it's premature" to assume they would do so in the case of Bergdahl, despite his five years as a Taliban detainee.
Days after his rescue, Bergdahl, 28, of Hailey, Idaho, was in stable condition at a U.S. military hospital in Germany. He is yet to be reunited with his parents, Bob and Jani Bergdahl, also of Hailey, Idaho, who waged a tireless campaign to keep their son's story in the spotlight.
Questions were also mounting in the U.S. over the way Bergdahl's freedom was secured: Five high-level members of the Taliban were released from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and sent to Qatar. The five, who will have to stay in Qatar for a year before going back to Afghanistan, include former ministers in the Taliban government, commanders and one man who had direct ties to the late al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden.
Republicans in Congress criticized the agreement and complained about not having been consulted, citing a law that requires Congress to be given 30 days' notice before a prisoner is released from Guantanamo. Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee said the Pentagon notified the panel by phone on Saturday that the exchange was occurring in the next five hours.
Obama suggested Tuesday that lawmakers were aware of the prospect that the U.S. could agree to a prisoner swap with the Taliban. And he defended his administration's handling of the formal notifications, saying that when the opportunity to free Bergdahl presented itself, "We seized that opportunity."
Officials said delaying Bergdahl's transfer in order to comply with the congressional notification rules would have interfered with two of the president's constitutional authorities: protecting the lives of Americans abroad and protecting U.S. soldiers.
"Because such interference would significantly alter the balance between Congress and the president, and could even raise constitutional concerns, we believe it is fair to conclude that Congress did not intend that the administration would be barred from taking the action it did in these circumstances," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement released shortly after Obama's news conference.
Obama has previously expressed concern about the congressional notification requirement, which was passed as part of the 2014 defense bill. In a statement that accompanied his signing of that legislation, Obama said the executive branch must have flexibility "to act swiftly in conducting negotiations with foreign countries regarding the circumstances of detainee transfers."
The U.S. and the Taliban negotiated the prisoner exchange indirectly, with the government of Qatar serving as an intermediary. The U.S. and Qatar signed a memorandum of understanding governing the conditions of their release, though beyond the travel ban, the exact stipulations are unknown.
Obama acknowledged that there is always a chance that the released Afghans could rejoin the Taliban or other groups seeking to harm the U.S. But he warned that the U.S. will be closely tracking their activity.
"We will be keeping eyes on them," he said. "We have confidence that we will be in a position to go after them if in fact they are engaging in activities that threaten our defenses."

From "Land of the Oarsmen" With Love
The literal meanings of places in the world, mapped.
From the "Misty Mountains" to "Winterfell," the names of places in fantasy do for us what most real-world names do not: They evoke something. With their primitive literalism, they conjure a sense of dread, as in "Mount Doom" or durability, as in "Storm's End," or peace, as in "Rivendell." Of course, the names of most places in the real world have meanings too, but many have slipped from common knowledge long ago. The above map, designed by cartographers Stephan Hormes and Silke Peust, labels countries, cities, and landmarks with the literal meanings of their official names. Some places, such as "Darkpool" (Dublin) or "Land of the South Wind" (Australia) or "Sea of Middle Earth" (Mediterranean Sea) seem torn straight from a Tolkien epic. Others, such as "I Don't Understand You!" (Yucatan, Mexico), "Tax Haven for Pilgrims" (Astrakhan, Russia), and "We're Coming From Cutting Leaves!" (Abidjan, Ivory Coast), are more perplexing. To see further details about the etymology of the names and other maps like this, or to order printed copies, see the cartographers' website. For more detail on places in the U.S., check out the U.S. map of literal place names.

ESMO 2017 Congress PRESS RELEASE: Best of ESMO 2017 Congress
LUGANO-MADRID, 12 September, 2017. ESMO 2017 was a truly global event with nearly 24,000 participants from 131 countries. The ten countries with the most delegates were the USA, France, Spain, UK, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, China, Japan, and Russia.
A record number of abstracts were submitted, with 1,736 selected for presentation. (1) Groundbreaking research was revealed in 55 late breaking abstracts.
ESMO 2017 research was simultaneously published in leading scientific journals including the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Lancet Oncology and Annals of Oncology.
Practice-changing studies presented at ESMO 2017 include:
- PACIFIC: new standard of care for locally advanced, unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- IFCT-0302: questionned regular computed tomography (CT) scans in resected NSCLC.
- COMBI-AD: new adjuvant treatment option for high-risk melanoma.
- CheckMate 238: improved adjuvant therapy for patients with surgically resected stage III/IV melanoma at high risk of relapse.
- LORELEI: greater tumour shrinkage in estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative early breast cancer.
- MONARCH 3: improved outcomes with a new initial strategy for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative advanced breast cancer.
- ARIEL 3: new maintenance therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer.
- RANGE: promising treatment for advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.
- CheckMate 214: combination therapy reduces kidney cancer death risk.
Researchers also highlighted the importance of preventing cancer. "Forty percent of cancers are preventable," said Prof Josep Tabernero, ESMO President-Elect.
"Oncology is not only about medicines," he continued. "We should emphasise lifestyle changes that would reduce the incidence of cancer; stop smoking, reduce alcohol intake, having a balanced diet low in red meat, exercise, and avoid exposure to substances that have been shown to be carcinogenic.''
On the policy front, there were debates about the sustainability and cost effectiveness of cancer treatments. Biosmilars, which are new in oncology, were presented as a valid option to facilitate access to treatment and allieviate the strain on healthcare systems.
Held in collaboration with the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), the tag line for ESMO 2017 was "Integrating science into oncology for a better patient outcome".
Join us for the ESMO 2018 Congress. We look forward to seeing you in Munich, Germany from 19 to 23 October 2018.

Author Bio:
Alison Mello is a wife and stay at home mom to a wonderful little boy. She lives with her amazing family in Massachusetts. She loves playing soccer, basketball and football with her son.
After having her son, Alison started reading again and fell in love with Contemporary Romance. Reading made her happy and gave her something to do when she had downtime. As she started to read more, she started to noticed things she really enjoyed in a book and things she didn't. She began to have ideas for writing one of her own. One day she literally woke up and started writing. She realized that if there was ever a time for her to write, it was now. She had a part time job to give her something to do. The hours at work were slow and she was bored with what she was doing, so while her son was off enjoying his friends over summer vacation she got started.
Alison finished the first book in two weeks and decided that she really enjoyed writing, so she kept going. She already had ideas in mind for books two and three, so she kept writing. That is how the Learning to Love Series was born. Somewhere along the line, one of my Beta readers convinced me that Michael, a character from Finding Love, needed his own story. That is when Alison added the fourth and final book. Alison hopes you enjoy her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.
She's so glad she started this writing journey and hopes you will stay with her for the ride. Chasing Dreams is scheduled to release in April and the first two books of the Love Conquers Life series will be out this summer!

FOX Now Bidding for 'American Idol' Revival Over NBC
It wasn't terribly surprising that FOX would say goodbye to American Idol after so many years, but word that NBC might look to revive it alongside The Voice came more unexpectedly. Now, FOX is reportedly bidding for the rights to bring American Idol back on its own, almost exactly as we remember it.
According to TMZ, both NBC and FOX are submitting bids to FremantleMedia, with a possibility the studio could accept either before the week is out. Should NBC win the rights, Ryan Seacrest would likely be asked back to host a new American Idol, though FOX would also "entertain" the possibility.
The report indicates that NBC hopes American Idol can solve its issue of airing two Voice cycles a year, especially as recurring judge Adam Levine only wants to participate in one. FOX, meanwhile, opted to end American Idol the first time over its expensive judges, whereas a reboot would recruit new, less expensive talent.
First debuting in 2002, American Idol began the nation-wide love-affair with reality singing competitions, despite falling off in popularity over the past few years. American Idol even remained TV's highest-rated show for most of a decade, but not-unironically would later take second position to The Voice.
For the moment, either network's American Idol reboot is eyed for either summer 2018 or midseason 2019. Stay tuned for the latest in the meantime.
