Android Walks Out of the Mist
The first phone to implement Google's Open Source Android mobile platform — the eagerly-anticipated T-Mobile G1 — made its maiden voyage today, launching to the expected fanfare and with the surprise appearance of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin — on rollerblades.
Developed by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC as the Dream, the G1 is Google's first volley in the ever-increasingly hostile mobile phone wars. The phone carries with it Google's reputation — with the search giant's logo conspicuously placed on the phone's case where the manufacturer's normally would be — as well as its noted prowess in launching things the computing public will find indispensable. The inevitable comparisons to Apple's iPhone have already begun, in many cases painting the G1 as nothing more than an Open Source copy.
However, the G1 is its own creature, with noticeable differences, many no doubt learned from the public reception of the iPhone. Like Apple's device, the G1 offers an online marketplace where individual developers can provide applications to users, but unlike Apple, Google's market is open to anyone, without an annual developer membership fee or corporate approval. The handset itself is a hybrid of best features, offering both the iPhone-style touch screen and a full slide-out keyboard à la T-Mobile's Sidekick, and runs both on T-Mobile's newly-upgraded 3G network and Wifi. The Android install comes with Gmail and YouTube support, as well as a Google Maps with Streetview install that integrates with the handset's internal compass to offer a 360° street-level view of wherever the user happens to be standing — provided, of course, that the street view cameras have been by.
Three pre-loaded applications from the winners of Google's Android Developer Challenge are included as well: ShopSavvy, a barcode-scanning price checker, Ecorio, a carbon footprint calculator, and BreadCrumbz, which offers visual maps created step-by-step with photos. While there is no support for files protected by DRM, Amazon is offering an application that integrates with its online store, allowing users to buy and play music directly on their G1. Undoubtedly, the application market will offer scores of media options, undercutting any issues with DRM.
The handset, which can be pre-ordered online by existing T-Mobile customers starting today, will actually appear in user's hands beginning October 22. Priced at an iPhone-undercutting $179, the phone requires either a $25/mo mini-data plan, or a $35/mo unlimited plan — given the features involved, the latter is likely to be popular. Whether it will prove an "iPhone killer" or not remains to be seen, but perhaps the bigger question is, was it ever really meant to?

Hmm, no mention of how open
Hmm, no mention of how open it is, other than the idiotic SIM locking. Google did it wrong, hopefully OpenMoko will come out with better hardware.
Not so patiently waiting ....
Now let's hope the thing works. I don't want an iPhone and I tried a Windows Mobile-based phone (I know, blasphemy and apostasy, right). I took it back after a week. I want a d*** smart phone that is not more trouble than it is worth. Is that too much to ask? Help me, Linux! You are my only hope.
I've been looking for a fun new phone to replace my boring old one. I'd considered the iPhone, but its high price tag and lack of a "real" keyboard holds me back. (The Apple fans can chime in, but I know iPhone owners who complain about the keyboard.) This may be my upgrade...
It's awesome
I've seen it. I've played with it.
It trumps the iPhone in most categories. It's not quite as blingy with its interface transitions, but the ability to multitask and the improved camera (with MMS capabilities!), plus the OPEN, bazaar-like platform make it tens of times more attractive than the cathedral which is the iPhone App Store and SDK.
I'll be first in line when it's available to the general public. I'll be switching from Verizon and its crippled phones and expensive plans, and I'm much looking forward to it.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Fridays Stunning Setting
TGI Friday's is an international chain that I visited for the first time in Cairo. It proved to me that even chain fast food restaurants have their own individuality from country to country.
Friday's Cairo is snuggled right on the banks of the Nile, practically opposite the Sofitel Maadi. We ended up there after a magical afternoon sailing in a Felucca on the majestic river and to be honest I wasn't prepared for the magic to continue in a chain restaurant - but it did!
We had a Nile-side table and, as it was late in the afternoon, the sun was lower on the river and silhouetted the gentle sailing craft as they meandered their way over and back along the Nile.
The sounds were magical - chirping birds, lapping waters, gentle breeze, happy chatter. It was Friday, which is the Moslem Sunday, so the place was full of local families enjoying the afternoon as it stole into evening.
Giant fans waft sprayed perfume into the air and sheeshas are readily available to all patrons. People seem to linger a long time here, and it doesn't surprise me. Busy though it may be, it's a magical place and the gardens are gorgeous.
Favorite Dish: The food was (again surprisingly) gorgeous.
Hungry from the day on the river, I ordered a selection of "picky things."
Chicken gougons were moist with a crispy coating, served with a perfectly fresh salad; a portion of garlic mushrooms was enormous and succulent (my experience with mushrooms abroad hasn't always been good as generally they are served pickled in vinegar - these were not); guacamole appeared freshly made; chicken wings were again juicy and meaty.
We washed the lot down with non-alcoholic cocktails. Believe me, the best places in the world to get a non-alcoholic beverage is in a country where alcohol isn't a staple beverage.
I loved this place!!

Little Italy is the name given to the Italian restaurant situated in the little shopping mall to the rear of the Sofitel Maadi.
It's very prettily decorated in a true Italian style and there's live guitar music every night.
The food, too, is quite delicious and amazingly inexpensive.
I started with beef carpaccio which was perfectly served with slivers of parmesan.
This I followed with a pizza - simple, tasty, and perfect.
Service was prompt and very pleasant and when the bill came it made the meal all the more tasty because of its reasonableness.
The Hotel itself is used quite a lot by business travellers, and accordingly so is the restaurant.
Favorite Dish: I highly recommend the pizza.

Local Seafood Soup
This is the sort of restaurant that I probably wouldn't dream of eating at if I were on holiday, but as this was a business trip and as my host suggested it I could hardly refuse.
From the outside it looked like a local "shack" and as we pushed open the door it didn't look much better - long bench style tables covered with cloths, fans blowing some cooling air (air conditioning hasn't been heard of in this restaurant), groups of locals huddled around a tv watching Man Utd v Man City in Arabic (I kid you not), and the "menu" consisted of large coolboxes filled with fish wherefrom you chose your own. As soon as I saw the fish, however, my initial impression changed and I figured I was going to get something worth eating.
In what I have learned is Egyptian style, plate after plate of delicious food arrived at the table for all to share - delicious mezze with puffy pitta bread, bowls of steaming freshly made local fish soup, calimare in hot salsa type sauce, deep fried calimare, giant plates of grilled king prawns in the shell, and the biggest, freshest, tastiest whole grilled fish you ever had.
This was washed down by bottle after bottle of refreshingly chilled water - soft drinks are also served, but not a drop of alcohol in sight.
If you're willing to "rough it" in this heat that even the fans cannot cool, then you will simply love this place.
Favorite Dish: Anything seafoody - you simply cannot go wrong.
I am addicted to the local fish soup which contains whole crab that you are expected to suck the meat from as the soup dribbles down your chin. It's divine.

Cairo at Night from a Height!
This stunning restaurant is situated on the top floor of the taller building of the Cairo Hyatt.
First you will be whisked by high speed elevator from the elegant lobby to the second flor from the top. Be sure to sit here first and enjoy the panoramic view of Cairo at night from one of the very comfortable armchairs as you sip a cool refreshing pre dinner martini. You can?tavoid admiring the most unusual walls set with what appear to be glass affect waterfalls (or perhaps that should be waterfall affect glass!!).
From here you will enter another elevator which will take you to the top floor. The room is highly elegant and stunningly furnished. The ceiling sparkles with an ever changing constellation scene complete with shooting stars and your eyes are drawn from this to the exterior view wich alters over a period of two hours as your dining room revolves.
Apart altogether from the stunning views the food is superb.
I started with carpaccio of beef served with decently thick grated slivers of parmesan and a basil puree.
I followed this with rack of lamb, which was medium to the point of rare (just the way I love it)and served with tiny spring rolls on a bed of aubergines (this seems to be the most popular vegetable in Cairo). Side orders were of asparagus, wild mushrooms, carrots, butternut squash, cauliflower, and french fries. They skimp on nothing here. Portions were generous without being too big and there was just about enough room for dessert.
I wasn?t going to indulge but my host insisted and as his very slim and beautiful wife was tucking into rich chocolate cake I opted for the trio of creme brulee, all of them perfect, but my favourite being the raspberry with its secret heart of raspberry puree.
A full bodied Egyptian red complimented the meal perfectly and the combination of great food and excellet interesting company made the night fly.
I cannot comment on price as my very kind host paid, but from the menu I could see that this is at the upper end of the market price wise.
Favorite Dish: Go for the food, but expect to be distracted by the view.

Le Clovis
This restaurant is situated on the first floor of the Sofitel Maadi Towers where they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In this tip I?m just going to deal with dinner.
Tables were beautifully set with white linen covered by heavy rich cream lace tablecloths. The place setting plates were gold, but these were whisked away as soon as we sat down.
Our table overlooked the Nile and, as we were early eating, we watched the dusk darken into night as the cruisers and feluccas sailed the Nile.
I started with marinated grouper and smoked fish which was served with diced sweet onion. I loved the smoked fish but found the grouper a little stringy in places.
My companion had a vegetable terrine with shrimp served ceviche style in a tomato coulis.
I followed this with the lamb. This was served in a roll and stuffed with diced lamb?s kidneys in a kidney gravy . I love kidneys so it was great for me, though it wasn?t stated on the menu and kidneys aren?t to all tastes. The vegetable was a terrine of aubergine, tomato, and cheese ? absolutely divine.
A bottle of Obelisque Blanc dAlexandre 2005 was the perfect accompaniment and just on the right side of dry.
We were the only ones in the restaurnt, but I have learned that this is what you expect in Cairo if you dine at 7.30 ? most people are still working at that time!!

Cortigiano's Comfortable Interior
This Italian style restaurant is part of a chain which has branches all over Cairo. We visited the branch in Nasr City and found it to be a most enjoyable experience.
The entrance is up a number of covered steps decorated with white fairy lights and, once inside, you find yourself in a large but cosy looking dining room. It?s very Italian looking, but this is then belied by the almost completely local customer base and the fact that no alcohol at all is sold here. The decor is very much dark wood and heavy beamed ceilings, with pretty green plants and various items of memorabilia hanging on the walls.
The menu is also Italian but my host waved this aside and made a special order. First of all baskets of crusty Italian bread and others of garlic bread were presented. This was followed by this wonderful fish soup that the Egyptians so adore ? this one full of chunks of white fish, prawns, clams and squid. Mop up the milky white broth with your bread and be careful as the broth runs down your chin ? it?s hard to avoid. After that we had a giant seafood salad to share between three. It was artistically presented on a large serving platter with circles of cucumber, tomato, grated cheese, grated carrot, egg, olives, prawns,slivers of smoked salmon, and tuna. It was impossible to finish all this glorious food, yet we managed to make room for home made ice cream with flavours of choc chip, mango, and toffee.
The lack of alcohol didn?t bother me, though it might disappoint some. The food would certainly bring me back.

Chef at the Fish Market
This gorgeous seafood restaurant nestles on the banks of the Nile overlooking the Yacht Club.
We were quickly seated at a Nile view table and our host guided us to the ?market? area of this restaurant. Fish and shellfish were displayed buried in a mountain of crushed ice and the chef pulled piece after piece of delicious fresh fish from the ice for us to choose. Each piece is then placed in a plastic bag, weighed, and sent through a little hatch to the kitchen for cooking.
When we returned to our table we discovered that a little side table had arrived and this was set with at least a dozen plates of mezze from which we were to choose what we wanted. I hadn?t a clue, so our host chose some dips made of pureed aubergine and garlic, and other dips made from I know not what but which I couldn?t stop eating as they were so delightful. He also chose giant tomatoe stuffed with garlic and something green, stuffed aubergines, marinated aubergines, and a huge very fresh salad with the most gorgeous sliced hot radish and sweet sliced onion. These were served with fresh baked pitta breads puffed out like balloons.
The first course consisted of a fish soup which was like a milky broath full of crab pieces that you are meant so suck the meat from the shell of, prawns,clams, and fish pieces. The best way to enjoy is to use your fingers.
Next a plate of deep fried succulent calamari arrived, followed by another large serving plate piled high with grilled prawns coated in some spices.
The final course was fish ? seabass and sea bream served whole on the bone. These are also coated in spices before they are grilled and the tastiest bits are by the bone of the tail where the spices seem to lodge.
We had two bottles of Egyptian white wine and my favourite of the two was the Obelisk ? perfect with our meal.
I can?t comment on cost as our generous host paid, but I can say that I am so very much looking forward to returning. You simply must eat here when in Cairo ? it?s one not to miss.
Better again - they also deliver!
Favorite Dish: Just choose your favourite seafood - everything is better than divine!

Exotic ceiling at Al Rubayyat
The Al Rubayyat at the Mena House Oberoi is a delight not to be missed for many reasons.
The restaurant is situated in the old part of the hotel and the surroundings are both palatial and exotic.
Service is good (though not excellent, as one might expect it to be) and the floor show is spectacular. The show starts late, so if you are dining, book for a late sitting. As I recall, the floor show did not start until about 10pm.
The food was very good indeed - perhaps some of the best I had eaten in Egypt. The surroundings are very upmarket, the settings silver service - but something is missing, and I cannot quite put a finger on it.
When I checked into the hotel I asked to make a reservation at this restaurant, as I had read that it could be difficult (even for residents) to get a reservation here. The supposedly helpful desk cleark indicated that there was no need for residents to reserve, even for the assurance of a good table. This was very poor advice indeed. On the night we sought to dine here (our last night in the hotel and in Cairo) a medical convention had booked most of the tables in the restaurant and we were refused a sitting on arriving there ( I must remind you that on checking the previous night I was advised that no reservationwas required). When I protested they found me a table behind a pole, making it difficult to see the floor show. Thankfully those at a neighbouring table vacated early, and we could clearly see the floorshow when we moved to their seats.
yes I'd go again, but I'd book early.

The Decline of the American Empire
1986 'Le déclin de l'empire américain' Directed by Denys Arcand
Four very different Montreal university teachers gather at a rambling country house to prepare a dinner. Remy (married), Claude (a homosexual), Pierre (involved with a girlfriend) and Alain (a bachelor) discuss sex, the female body and their affairs with them. Meanwhile, their four female guests, Louise (Remy's wife of 15 years), Dominique (a spinster), Diane (a divorcée) and Danielle (Pierre's girlfriend) are spending the time at a downtown health gym. They also discuss sex, the female body and, naturally, men. Later in the evening, they finally meet at the country house and have dinner. A ninth guest, named Mario, who used to know Diane, drops in on the group for some talk and has a surprise of his own.

Real mature, poster artist. Real mature.
Curtis recommended this film and I was very glad to watch it. The film is structured by conversations about sex, the sexes, and power. One of the best Canadian films ever made.
Aside from the title, The Decline of the American Empire is a humorless comedy, painful melodrama, exercise in misogyny, racism and blatant sex. Every character is an painful to watch since they bear no positive qualities, but demand our sympathy. It doesn't work as a comedy, since it's not funny, and it doesn't work as a drama, since we have no interest in the character.
There's also a great deal of scenes that abruptly cut to something pretentious (ie. history lectures, or discussion about art) that have no effect on the thematic or plot related development.
What a waste of a great title...
The people in this film are intellectuals. How do I know this? They made a point to tell us many times. That's right, they're those kinds of people. Too be such self-proclaimed intellectuals, they really only seem to know how to discuss one topic. There are bits that are interesting, some that make me feel jealous, but it's the type of conversation that gets old quick.
From the reaction of others, including critics and award groups, it seems this film succeeds fairly well at what it's attempting. Unfortunately I have no interest whatsoever in what it's doing. The closest comparison in my mind is A Gun in Each Hand, which I liked even less than this.
Four unbearable men discuss their sex lives while elsewhere four unbearable women do the same. After an hour of that, the groups combine and they talk about nothing at all for a while, while referring to themselves as 'intellectuals'. Somewhere along the line, this is apparently supposed to be funny.
After an insufferable 90 minutes, the movie actually concludes very well, as the flippant conversations bleed into real-world drama. The…
Well, fuck it. If I get a cynical view on love, marriage and fidelity it will be because of the fucking movies I choose to watch. When did infidelity become so common place?
A very well written look at sexual mores in the lives of suburbans, a topic that I find of interest, not the suburbia aspect, the marital fidelity and all. Anywho, this one has some good ideas and it presents them in a fresh way. The acting and characters are really good, and for a movie that is entirely centered around a conversation, that is the key. A very interesting watch. Gives you a fresher perspective. I think I will watch its second and third part some day as well, just not at once.
For comparisons, this is kinda like Little White Lies and The Ice Storm.

Real mature, poster artist. Real mature.
Serving as a prequel 17 years earlier of his Oscar-winning picture THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS (2003), Denys Arcand's Oscar-nominated THE DECLINE OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE is a pungent satire about the clashing encounter of the cerebral front and visceral impact pursuant to sex, marriage, betrayal and gender politics.
Set in Montreal, the ensemble including four very different men (three are university professors), Pierre (Curzi), a middle-aged man dating a young girl, Rémy (Girand), a married man for 15 years, Claude (Jacques), a single gay professor, and a young bachelor Alain (Brière), while they are preparing a dinner for the evening, their four female guests, are dripping with sweat in the uptown gym, they are, Louise (Berryman), Rémy's wife, Dominique (Michel), a…
"Is the frantic drive for personal happiness we see in society today linked to the decline of the American empire as we are now experiencing it?"
An interesting question and well explored on a smaller scale of sex, health and relationships. Though most of the characters are likely to repulse you, it is quite interesting to watch as the two groups gossip and gloat of their sexual escapades as you await the inevitable battle.
Verbally explicit, slightly comical, and tragically unsympathetic.
Forget all the new, talky french movies about genderroles, partnership, Love and more important sex of the last years and watch instead this french-canadian, great one from 1986.
I disliked every character in this film and was waiting for them all to die of AIDS.

It's like a Quebecois The Big Chill, though without the classic rock and with even more dialogue. It's mostly pretty funny and witty, but it doesn't really seem to lead anywhere. The third act turn towards serious drama is the logical result of the preceding dialogue, but it's still a bit off-putting. The strange historical ideologies and shaken beliefs of these formerly idealistic characters are the real interesting parts of the film, but unfortunately they're mostly brushed over in favour of more sex talk. Still, it's entertaining enough and you could do worse for Quebec film.
It wanted to be a grand, eloquent statement about sexual relationships in the western world, but it's a little whiny. These are all upper class individuals, who value their own needs and desires above their partners. They approach relationships for the most part with the mentality of what they can get from the other person. Focused on short-term gain, mostly sexual gratification, they don't invest and work on their relationships.
Some of it has an intellectual, talky vibe it, but for the most part they seem like smarter versions of Sam Malone, a character motivated almost completely by his libido. The conversations were nice and occasionally illuminating, but mostly they were just trying to get in each other's pants.
Movie about gender politics, etc. Starts out kind of funny but then just gets way too sad.

The past two years I have frequently spoken and written about replacing the idea of VBS follow-up with the need for continuing the connections established during the week of VBS. This has been an attempt to help us all think about what we do following VBS in terms of relationship instead of a process. There is no doubt we are good at identifying unchurched families and involving their kids in VBS. If there were a VBS report card we would most likely receive a B or possibly even an A for our ...

Go And Catch The Children - Why VBS Must Be Evangelistic
Until recently I never thought of Charles Spurgeon and children in the same sentence. While he is one of the most famous pastors and prolific writers in the history of the Christian church, he served in an era when "out of sight and out of mind" was the general attitude towards children. It never occurred to me he might have much to say about the importance of kids ministry. However, after reading Come Ye Children, I now believe, that given the opportunity, Spurgeon just might change his ... Continue Reading

Each year the State Bar of California offers attorneys in California an opportunity to contribute to the legal profession and the public by volunteering to serve on one of the State Bar's committees. The State Bar annually recruits applicants for 10 standing committees, 16 section executive committees, and 21 special committees, boards and commissions. The State Bar's Board of Trustees appoints approximately 150-200 new members every year to these committees, and strives to make appointments that will achieve diversity and broad representation of the California legal profession. The appointments generally are made by the end of July, with terms commencing at the close of the State Bar Annual Meeting in the fall.
The Board also makes annual appointments to five other entities: American Bar Association (ABA) House of Delegates, Judicial Council, Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation (JNE Commission), Review Committee of the JNE Commission (RJNE), and Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) Oversight Committee. The Board typically makes the appointments to the ABA House of Delegates and the Judicial Council in the spring, and the appointments to the JNE Commission, RJNE, and the LAP Oversight Committee by the end of July.

Kevin Jackson Joins SYS-CON's GovITExpo as Tech Chair
I am humbled and more than pleased to serve as the Technical Chair of SYS-CON's 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo (www.GovITExpo.com.
To highlight the importance of this conference, I only need to repeat the guiding principles driving President Obama's technology agenda:
Innovation in the Economy: Drive Economic Growth and Solve National Problems By Deploying a 21st Century Information Infrastructure
- The President believes that modernized infrastructure is a necessary part of the foundation for long term economic stability and prosperity. That includes everything from a comprehensive national broadband plan, to new health care information technology, to a modernized electrical grid.
Innovation in Science: Invest in Science and Science Education
- The President has named Dr. John Holdren, a nationally recognized expert on climate change and nuclear disarmament, as an Assistant to the President and the nation's Science Advisor, and Dr. Steven Chu, Nobel-prize winner as the Secretary of Energy. These are just two of the many leading science experts who are serving in an Administration committed to science.
Innovation in Public Administration: Creating an Open and Secure Government
- Strategic federal IT investments will make Government more transparent and accountable. At the same time, Americans will know that these investments by their Government are being leveraged to produce maximum value, and that the security of information systems nationally, and the privacy of Americans, are being protected. Strategic investments in IT are at the heart of the efforts to make Government services more effective, accessible, and transparent.
Restoring a Culture of Accountability through Openness and Transparency of Government Operations and Information
- Moving Toward Unprecedented Openness: Change the presumption under the Freedom of Information Act to favor voluntary disclosure of government information to the public.
- Making Critical Government Information Available: Working to provide public access to information of public import and concern, such as the Department of Justice "torture" memos, the President's and Vice-President's tax returns, the public financial disclosure reports for White House personnel, and presidential records.
Information technology is central to the attainment of each and every one of these goals. Within a few short months, we have seen a whirlwind of change across the government IT industry landscape. The appropriation of $7.2B for broadband internet access nationwide, the launching of USASpending.gov, the appointment of Mr. Vivek Kundra as the nation's first ever Federal Chief Information Officer and the rapid adoption of cloud computing are only a few examples of this historic change.
As government IT professionals, we all share in the duty and responsibility of making this change work.
This means balancing implementation speed with the need for ironclad security. It means fighting for that additional budget item in a time of economic collapse and fiscal crisis. It means dealing with sometimes archaic procurement regulations while simultaneously struggling to meet even more stringent IT governance deadlines.
To assist you in this challenge, the 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo is specifically designed to address many unique aspects of government information technology. Specialized tracks will cover cloud computing, virtualization, service oriented architecture (SOA), security and compliance. There will also be breakout sessions on the unique issues surrounding cloud security, including the important distinctions between private and public clouds. Join us in an informative and collaborative environment where expert speakers from government and the software industry alike will look at the unique issues involved with handling and sharing government information.
I look forward to meeting you at this important event, October 6, 2009 in Washington, DC. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any service.

Why I Love Fire, Pentecost, and the Beloved Community
This past weekend, Christians around the world celebrated one of our holiest holi-days: Pentecost. Pentecost, which means "50 days," is celebrated seven weeks after Easter (hence the 50), and marks the birthday of the Church, when the Holy Spirit is said to have fallen on the early Christian community like fire from the heavens. (For this reason, lots of Christians wear red and decorate in pyro-colors. This day is also where the fiery Pentecostal movement draws its name).
But what does Pentecost Sunday have to do with just another manic Monday?
What does a religious event a couple of thousand years old have to offer the contemporary, pluralistic, post-Christian world we live in? I'd say a whole lot. Here's why:
Let me start by confessing my bias. Not only am I a Christian, but I am a Christian who likes fire. I went to circus school and became a fire-swallowing, fire-breathing, torch-juggling-pyro-maniac as you'll see here. So naturally, I like Pentecost.
What Men and Women Lose Under Complementarianism
Who Goes to Hell is Not the Most Important Question
"Really? Gandhi's in hell? And we have confirmation of this?"
In Honor of Women's Equality Day
The Cross, Easter, and the 'They' Narrative
Religion and Women: The Oldest Injustice
From Cultural Conformity to Biblical Obedience
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

FORT DRUM, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say several soldiers have been injured by a lightning strike at Fort Drum in northern New York.
Media outlets in nearby Watertown report at least three and as many as five soldiers were on a range at the Army post when the lightning struck around 9 p.m. Tuesday. The reports say Fort Drum's emergency personnel responded.
Military officials confirmed there was a lightning strike on a training range but have released no other details.
A message left at Fort Drum's media relations office wasn't immediately returned Wednesday morning.
Fort Drum is home to the 10th Mountain Division.

I am a shareholder of DSW and sold half of my shares to participate in the same kind of value run up here. The management is not as shareholder driven as DSW but they are not bad and are very good operators. I made over 30% not including lucrative special dividends there and would like to see how the powerful cash flow might benefit us here at FL. This stock is miss priced by at least $10.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I like the prospects here. To me the only unknown that stops it from trading in the 50 range is what can revenue growth really be ? Management hass done a lot correct but like aapl, what have you done for me lately ? Well aapl has updated products and revenues are moving again. This needs to happen here as well. Can you imagine what a 7% comp would do ? Wow !!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. It is way undervalued and a matter of time before value correction. Growing market share and nice divvy should make a nice run later.

One Doctor's Fascinating Account of Near-Death ExperiencesBegun in 1994, The Atlanta Study is the first comprehensive investigation of its kind into near-death experiences (NDEs). The study's name hardly captures what lies behind it: life-and-death dramas played out in operating rooms and hospital beds--and simultaneous events unseen by medical personnel but reported with astonishing clarity and conviction by nearly 50 individuals who returned from death
The Story that Begins Where The Hiding Place Ends"It was in a church in Munich that I saw him…. "One moment I saw the overcoat and the brow hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. It came back with a rush: The place was Ravensbruck and the man who was making his way forward has been a guard—one of the most cruel guards. "Now he was in front of me, hand thrust out. I was face to face with one of my captors
Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences
How Understanding NDEs Can Help Us Live More FullyDr. Penny Sartori is a registered nurse who began researching Near Death Experiences (NDEs) in 1995 after one of her long-term intensive care patients begged her to let him die in peace.

Feeling The Pain - Poem by Rohit Sapra
I have noticed that when a person is hurt
They end up saying things which they do not really mean.
Is the way life is
Pain takes time to heal
As never does it heal so easily.
Also, it is about experiences
Which a person has been through
That is just the way life is
Never easy and really very tough
It is not a cup of tea.
Slowly with time wounds can heal
Heal they do, though not so easily
Easy is not the word, to be used to describe life
I have noticed when a person is hurt, they end up saying really hurtful things
Things, which can really hurt the feelings
To recover from it has just one way, a sorry
Sorry, which really has to mean something at the end
It hurts to feel the pain.

text: Posted February 8, 2013 Both are archaic... The meaning you cite is from the 14th century...So here you are, literally arguing with a dictionary... Putting words in scot's mouth and building a strawman while comparing me to stirs and some argument about the word n*gger (which is effectively a godwin 'round here.) I appreciate and understand your opinion on this and you are certainly entitled to your feelings but unless you have an etymology degree... Well, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I quoted what he said almost verbatim. Which one makes the most sense? Sometimes the Godwin comparison is valid, you know that right? Both of you feel that if the word originated from something non-offensive, well then it's all cool then. Also, you know dictionaries aren't the end-all be-all right? Especially when I can just cite a different dictionary that says what I agree with more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
Rahel's Watch
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
As a child, Rahel wears a toy wristwatch:
[The wristwatch] had the time painted on it. Ten to two. One of her ambitions was to own a watch on which she could change the time whenever she wanted to (which according to her what Time was meant for in the first place). (2.12)
So every time Rahel looks at her watch, it's ten minutes to two. Big deal, right? Well, let's think a little deeper and consider the role time plays in the novel. For one thing, it doesn't always work the way we expect it to. Like Rahel and Estha, we experience the present and past almost simultaneously. But when we're in the past, we're in a very specific two-week period, and in the present we're in a very specific span of just a couple of days.
Unlike most other novels that start at one point and move forward through time at a normal pace, The God of Small Things is, for the most part, frozen in time. We get a little bit of filler information about what happened to Rahel as a young woman, but we don't live through those experiences with her. By the same token, we really never find out what happens in Estha's life in the 23 years that pass between the day he is Returned to Baba and the day he comes back to Ayemenem.
Just as Rahel's watch has "stopped" permanently and always displays the exact same time, so are the events in the novel frozen. Rahel's watch, then, can be viewed as a symbol of how one brief moment in her life – the days surrounding Sophie Mol's death – was in a way the only time that mattered.

We all know how tough it is for local artists to break into the "big time". It's a ton of hard work. Not only do you have to constantly learn new material to stay fresh, but sometimes you are forced to write your own to differentiate yourself. Gregg Simmons has certainly done that, for Cryin' Out Loud (and I mean that literally)
Today we had a little bit of fun with Erik Budraky from gotbeer.com. Erik is the new beer expert for the "Sean and Richie Show" and we will be having him in to talk to us every few weeks or so about the intricacies of beer and the great stories behind the men who brew them.
As we prepare to welcome thousands of fans to the Taste of Country Music Festival, we take a moment to showcase one of the rising stars on the show.
Trace Adkins took a break from "The Apprentice" to promote his new CD "Love Will" on the Sean and Richie Show this morning.
Jason Aldean was a recent guest on the WGNA On Demand lunch show. After his visit on-air we had Jason Aldean answer this web exclusive question- 'Has Joe Diffie Called Jason Aldean?'
Today on the Sean and Richie show we discussed the new Christopher Porco Lifetime movie, "Romeo Killer: The Christopher Porco Story" and Sean raised a pretty interesting question.
Jon Jones from the Eli Young Band recently dropped by the On-Demand Lunch on WGNA to talk about opening up for Kenny Chesney on the 'No Shoes Nation Tour' in Albany, New York on March 21, 2013.
Ron White recently dropped by the On-Demand Lunch on WGNA to talk about his upcoming show at Proctors Theater in Schenectady on April 4, 2013.
There are all kinds of negative stories out there about cruising. I am here to tell you the positive - one of them being the amazing affordability right now. Check this out!
I am so excited to see my friend James Wesley tonight at the G.E. theater at Proctors. It's funny that the guy who sings the hit song "Real" is one of the most real guys you will ever meet in the Country Music World.

Comprehensive Description
General Description
Author=Resser, 1939
The Alokistocaridae are a family of trilobites that lived during the late Lower to Upper Cambrian. Alokistocarids were particle feeders and left small furrows with are occasionally preserved. [1] Their remains are found worldwide. Elrathia kingii, one of the most collected trilobites in the world, is an alokistocarid.
Alokistocarids have an exoskeleton that is elongated ovate to inverted egg-shaped. The headshield (or cephalon) is semicircular and has a well-defined border. The central raised area of the cephalon (or glabella) is somewhat tapering forward, generally with 3 or 4 pairs of more or less distinct lateral furrows. The front of the glabella is rounded or truncate, and is separated from the border by a wide, moderately convex to flat (or rarely concave) so-called preglabellar field. Narrow ridges that connect the eyes with the glabella are well developed. The distance between the eye and the glabella (or palpebral lobe) is small. The fracture lines (or sutures) that in moulting separate the fixed from the free cheeks (fixigenae and librigenae) may converge or diverge in front of eyes. Behind the eyes they cut the posterior margin of the cephalon inside the inner bend of the genal spine (or opisthoparian sutures). The genal spines are short or moderately long. Alokistocarids have a relatively large articulating middle part of the body (or thorax), consisting of 12 to 19 segments. The thorax axis is moderately convex and sharply defined, while the areas lateral of the axis (or pleurae) are nearly flat with distinct grooves. The tailshield (or pygidium) is small, with few segments, and lacks a border. The surface is generally smooth.[2]

Wearing the green points jersey, Giant-Shimano's Degenkolb proved too fast for FDJ's Bouhanni and Dutchman Moreno Hofland (Belkin) after a zippy finale to the 180km stage five from Cordoba to Ronda in southern Spain.
But there was a controversial moment when Bouhanni - winner of Sunday's stage two - appealed to the race commissaires after feeling he was boxed in by Degenkolb in the finale.
Bouhanni's protest was swiftly overturned: replays clearly showed Degenkolb sticking to his line, the real danger for his rival coming from the flags and 'thundersticks' being waved from the outstretched hands of fans hanging on the barriers.
Degenkolb's win came after an expert lead-out by his Giant-Shimano team-mate Koen de Kort, who managed to reel in Belgium's Philippe Gilbert (BMC) on the final ramp before slingshotting his colleague to victory.
Gilbert, the 2012 world champion, was forced to settle for seventh place on yet another sweltering day in Andalucia.
Although he could only muster 13th place in the finale, Australia's Michael Matthews (Orica-GreenEdge) increased his overall lead on Colombian Nairo Quintana (Movistar) by five seconds after a small split occurred on a punchy climb inside the final kilometre.
Matthews leads Quintana by 13 seconds with another Movistar rider, Alejandro Valverde of Spain, in third place at 20 seconds.
American Andrew Talansky and Canadian Ryder Hesjedal (both Garmin-Sharp) lost 3:51 and 3:19 respectively after being caught out in crosswinds inside the final 30km of racing.
TWO-MAN BREAK: Dutchman Pim Ligthart (Lotto-Belisol) and German Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) attacked shortly after the stage start to build up a maximum lead of four minutes under a cloudless blue sky.
Perhaps suffering from the heat, Martin dropped back to the peloton to leave Ligthart riding solo with a gap of two and a half minutes with around 70km remaining.
The gap slowly came down and Ligthart climbed up to the scenic town of Teba with a lead of just 1:35 over the pack. The Tinkoff-Saxo team-mates of Spaniard Alberto Contador upped the tempo on the windy descent to wreck havoc in the peloton, which swiftly split into three factions.
Ligthart was swallowed up inside the final 30km as a group containing Garmin's Talansky and Hesjedal toiled off the back of the pack.
The pace slowed on the only categorised climb of the day, the summit of which was crossed first by Spaniard Amets Txurruka after his Caja Rural team-mate Luis Mas Bonet - the polka dot jersey - could not muster the strength to hold the Basque rider's wheel.
It was the teams of the GC riders more than the teams of the main sprinters who dictated play towards the end of the stage as the riders dropped into the town of Ronda.
BMC launched Gilbert inside the final kilometre as the road edged up into the old town - but the Belgian didn't have the kind of legs that used to see him win these kinds of finales with his eyes shut. In the end it was left to the in-form Degenkolb to run off with the prize - despite Bouhanni feeling hard done by in the closing straight.
RIDE OF THE DAY: Degenkolb took the win but it was Contador's Tinkoff-Saxo team who lit the torch paper when they split the peloton in crosswinds during the closing hour of racing. Earlier, Britain's Chris Froome (Team Sky) had unexpectedly zipped clear to pick up two bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint; given Froome lost the 2011 Vuelta by just 13 seconds, it could yet prove a canny move.
DAY TO FORGET: Garmin-Sharp pair Andrew Talansky and Ryder Hesjedal both lost over three minutes while Colombian Julian Arredondo (Trek Factory Racing) limped home in the grupetto a full 13:32 down after the damage inflicted by Tinkoff-Saxo.
COMING UP: Thursday's 167km stage six from Benalmadena to La Zubia includes two lower category climbs before the race's first summit finish. The Cat.1 climb of Cumbres Verdes is not long, but a final 4km with an average gradient just shy of 10% means we're destined for a shake-up on the overall standings.

Interesting to see creativity within a CRM program, which has a whole set of different objectives. These people already have the product (their Chevrolet vehicles) and now it's time to find reasons for them to keep them. With strategies like theatre invitations, there is an incentive, but not necessarily an original creative. In that sense, this piece works for me because it gives me a "you're special for us" feeling in what could be a simple invitation.
And JD, it's not the clapping itself, I think this is about what applause can mean. ¿Right?

Der Aufenthalt im Studio war ausgezeichnet. Sauber, gut eingerichtet, sehr gute Betten, ruhig, in der Küche alles vorhanden... Wir wurden am Flughafen abgeholt und mit allen notwendigen Informationen über die Unterkunft und die Stadt bedient.
Es war wirklich toll!
Schöne aber relativ kleine Wohnung. Gute Lage und für 2 Personen ideal. Sehr sauber und alles Wichtige vorhanden (auch ein Föhn). Nette, unkomplizierte Vermieter!
Die Wohnung ist gut aber für vier Leute absolut viel zu eng.es gab keinen Service.
das Treppenhaus war sehr staubig. Der Türhaupteingang war unstabil.
We had a very nice stay at Prague in the Executive Bright Appartement. It was a nice, little appartement, tidy and absolute alright for three people. The hosts gave us a lot information about the trams, exchanges, etc. which was very helpful if you stay the first time in Prague.
Very good and clean apartment!
was a really nice trip and a nice flat in the centre of prague!
was there with 3 friends and the flat was perfect.
best regards,
flo :)
Very central. A lot of traffic, but easy to get around the city by foot. Very good service at arrival at the office at Opletalova. Two rooms all together, one bedroom behind the kitchen, and the other room with 2-3 beds and a dining table, so it's might be a bit crammed for 5 grownups / larger kids, if you stayed for a longer period of time. Nice interior and clean place. If you go by car: Reserve a parking lot before arrival, e.g. at Mr. Parkit - the price is fair and you cannot park in the street, you can only stop for a while to drop off the suitcases etc.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
