O Cross our one reliance hail!
So may thy power with us avail
To give new virtue to the Saint,
And pardon to the penitent.
Today's Solemnity of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross: "We Adore You O Christ, and We Bless You, Because by Your Holy Cross, You have Redeemed the world!"
This feast celebrates two historical events: the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helen, mother of the Emperor Constantine, in AD 320 under the temple of Venus in Jerusalem. The feast is also memorialized in the basilica of the Holy Cross in Rome, a church constructed by Helen. In the USA, the metropolitan cathedral of Boston honors this feast with the name of Holy Cross. It is also the dedication in AD 335 of the basilica and shrine built on Calvary by Emperor Constantine, which mark the site of the Crucifixion.
The greatness of this feast reminds us that the Cross is the instrument, the vehicle of our salvation; touching our lips to the glorious cross of our redemption, we take up the crosses in our own lives and accept and reverence them as well. And by God's grace we are able to carry our cross to the natural conclusion.
Saint Andrew of Crete tells us: "We are celebrating the feast of the cross which drove away darkness and brought in the light… Had there been no cross, Christ could not have been crucified. Had there been no cross, Life Itself could not have been nailed to the tree. And if Life had not been nailed to it, they would be no streams of immortality pouring from Christ's side, blood and water for the world's cleansing. The legal bond of our sin would not be canceled, we should not have obtained our freedom, we should not have enjoyed the fruit of the tree of life, and the gates of paradise would not stand open. Had there been no cross, death would not have been trodden underfoot, nor hell despoiled… The cross is called Christ's glory; it is saluted as his triumph."
Today the Church celebrates the feast of The Exaltation of the Cross. You'll also hear the feast called, The Triumph of the Cross. Whatever we say, today recalls Saint Helena's finding the True Cross of the Lord. A gift of the Church is to incrementally teach and live the various mysteries of the faith. And there is a wisdom in this method because we slowly come to incorporate ourselves into the Divine Life.
One of the antiphons for the sacred Liturgy says,
"We should glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he is our salvation, our life and our resurrection: through him we are saved and made free."
As Pope Francis said this morning at Mass, this mystery can only be approached from the stance of prayer and tears.
The words spes unica come to mind. I learned these words when I was a student of the Brothers of the Holy Cross. They are the same words that the tradition of the Church indicates with the the phrase used when making the Stations of the Cross: We adore you O Christ and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
So, what do Christians mean in this feast, in exalting an object of Roman torture? The Cross is the key that unlocks true nature of love; the cross shows us that redemption is a serious matter; God's work of redemption through the passion and death of Jesus on the cross is the greatest work of the Trinity in that death leads to resurrection –death is defeated by death itself– and communion with God is now possible again. Second, the Cross reminds us that God the Father is directly involved with our human history; it is not an abstract event; God knows us and walks with us.
I am giving emphasis these days on knowing what we believe as Catholics by looking at the liturgical sources. We first go to the sacred Liturgy to study and pray the prayers prayed by the priest for Mass, Lauds, Vespers, or those smaller rites such as the Blessing of Basil that you would find on today's feast of the Holy Cross, also called the Roodmas. Ours is a richly endowed sacramental faith.
"The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, which,
the day after the dedication of the Basilica of the Resurrection raised over
the tomb of Christ, is exalted and honored, in the manner of a memorial of His
paschal victory and the sign which is to appear in the sky, already announcing
in advance His second coming" (from the Roman Martyrology)
The Blessing of Basil
V. Our help is in the
name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
Let us pray.
Almighty and
merciful God, deign, we beseech You, to bless Your creature, this aromatic
basil leaf. + Even as it delights our senses, may it recall for us the triumph
of Christ, our Crucified King and the power of His Precious Blood to purify and
preserve us from evil so that, planted beneath His Cross, we may flourish to
Your glory and spread abroad the fragrance of His sacrifice. Who is Lord
forever and ever.
R. Amen.
The bouquets of basil leaf are sprinkled with Holy
We should glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection, through whom we are saved and delivered. (antiphon)

Has Larry Sonsini Gotten a Bad Rap?
In "The Man to See in the Valley," Fortune magazine's Roger Parloff answers the above question in the affirmative. The profile largely exonerates Sonsini with respect to criticism he's come under for his involvement in Silicon Valley's two big scandals: the H-P boardroom spy imbroglio and the options-backdating probes. Parloff spent some time with Sonsini; here's some color:
He is dressed elegantly in a dark suit and tie, which stand out in Silicon Valley, where business casual was born and still flourishes . . . . Sonsini speaks calmly in a confident, voice-of-God baritone that a network news anchor would covet. There is no irony, sarcasm or cynicism evident in him, and he seems guileless in comparison to many East Coast lawyers. His sentences end promptly as soon as he has answered a question, another uncommon trait in his bill-by-the-hour profession.
Parloff looks closely at Sonsini's connection to backdating and thinks there's too much fuss being made over his and his firm's connection to the probes — roughly 40% of the companies under investigation are repped by Wilson Sonsini. He cites nine Silicon Valley public company board members, CEOs or outside lawyers to support the following statement: While outside law firms may be involved in drawing up a stock options plan for a public company, they very rarely administer it. Says T.J. Rodgers, CEO of Cypress Semiconductor:
How to give options is well known. You hire outside counsel, they have their word processor kick up a bunch of documents, and they charge you 50,000 bucks. Then you and your HR person give out options according to the plan. You administer it; they're not involved. You don't want them involved, because you don't want to be sent a bill for $2,000 every time you give out stock options.

Quoth Serena the "Champion": "I'm gonna kill you."
This wasn't boxing. This was from a "player" to a line judge. Serena continues to be the winner of the "Plaxico Burress do something really ignorant award." Next year, we hear, she's vying for the Darwin award. She can't just lose: she has to blame someone.

the problem with people like you is that you believe that you have to take sides! be objective. granted the outburst was not good. But what would you do if there was a wrong line call that would make you lose a grand slam? turn around, courtesy and say thank you ma'am. be serious! as much as the outburst was wrong and serena has acknowlegded and apologised, so was the call and an apology is owed to Serena. we all know she is very capabable of wining from match point down. watch last year's final!!!!

Why is everybody behaving too holy here?Are you people very sure that if we play the tape of your life style,we will not find something worse that what Serena did?Please,we are human and whenever someone goes wrong,we should leaqrn to forgive and take it as a subject to teach others and not to crucify as if we are even an inch better than her.
Why is the press not also talking about the wrong call by the lines judge?Replays have shown that it wasn't a foot fault.Yes, she over reacted but it seems that lady was sent to do that also.I think the USTA should also open investigation on this lady's conduct.To be sincere,there were alot of wrong judgement this year at US open.Look at the umpire at the men's finals.He didn't even know what he was doing.This also pissed off RF.
Do you also know that the highest sales of tickets and Media coverage were for Serena's matches?She is very important to the WTA tour and her absence for event a Master will cost them dearly.tHE TRUTH IS THAT ALL THESE WHITES ORGANISERS ARE NOT HAPPY THAT A PLAYER MORE TO THAT BLACK IS WINNING ALMOST ALL THE SLAMS IN A YEAR.AND THAT'Z WHY THEY RALLIED BEHIND KIM CLIJSTER AND NOT SERENA.IT WAS JUST TOO IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO STOP HER FROM PLAYING THE DOUBLES FINALS.JEALOUSY MAKES HER TO SUCCEED AND SHE WILL CONTINUE TO DORMINATE.KIM HAS COME AND SHE WILL STILL RUN AWAY WHEN SERENA BEATS HER 7 TIMES IN A ROLL TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE 7:1 WINNING RATIO.I HOPE THEY WILL TURN TO HENIN WHO ALSO DID NOT HAVE THE WINNING ADVANTAGE OVER SERENA.SERENA REMAINS A GREAT CHAMPION AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,THAT IS WHERE SHE BELONGS.
I'm not the biggest Serena fan–never have been. She's very talented, but not my favorite tennis player–Steffi Graff was. Having said that, I feel that some are taking this TOO far. Sure Williams should have received the fine she got, and she should have to apologize to everyone and YES, she most definitely embarrassed herself and surely what she did will be part of her career. But my God, some of you–especially your sports writers are making this woman out to be Jack the Ripper for God's sake. I've seen several of John McEnroes's outbursts up close and personal, and this type of behavior went on for McEnroes's entire career. I mean for 10 plus years. In fact, he embarrassed the US several times abroad also–at Wimbledon, and in the Davis Cup championship one year. It got so bad during Davis Cup, he even went toe to toe with Arthur Ashe of all people on television. Yet people's recollections seem to be getting very fuzzy in that they really DON'T want to remember McEnroe's tirades–all 10 plus years of them, yet Williams is being raked over the coals for ONE incident–sure it was bad–but when in her career did she EVER do anything like this? I don't recall there being another time she's ever done something like this. I feel there could be a bit of underlying racism going on here–and no, I'm a white male saying this because I've seen the blogs and heard people using racial slurs when talking about and discussing this. Everyone needs to step back and take a deep breath. The world is still turning, the oceans are still rushing to the shore and the sun WILL come up in the morning. Although what Williams did WAS wrong and extremely embarrassing and like I say WILL be part of her tennis legacy, it was NOT the end of the world either. At some point, we have to move on here.
Well said Chima.

No personal vendetta. I merely dislike the way she has been behaving the last two or three years.
You mention Hewitt and MacEnroe. Perhaps you would like to take another look at the "Serena fine = joke" topic where I highlighted their behaviour, as well as that of Conners and argued against a lengthy ban for Williams.
I take great exeption to the suggestion, that is often made, than all crticism of her is motivated by racism. It is that attitude from many of her fans that has polarised feelings.
A Yahoo! User Sep 16, 2009 19:13 Flag
Honestly bobito, having read majority of your messages, it seems to me that you have a personal vendetta to Serena Williams. It's obvious that you don't like her the very bit and your opinion reflects that alot.
Let's not forget in the past, the many times that calls or even players have gone against her and she acted in the most professional way. To even say that her legacy will be remembered from this incident is very far fetched. Lets not forget the accomplishments and changes the William Sisters brought to not only womens tennis but tennis in general. If you recall that match where she played Capriati in the Open and the lines people called a ball that was clearly in out, she still behaved like a world class player and that brought about the challenge system. I could sit here and write about the numerous wongs that the William Sisters have encountered in tennis but i wont. Yes she threatened the lines judge, she apologized, time to move on. Players just have to be clearly warned about the repercussions of such behaviour.
McEnroe might have never threatened but he has insulted umpires and lines people in such DISRESPECTFUL ways, that he never even got warnings for which i thought was absolutely ridiculous. Its the same thing as a white lie and lie. A lie is a lie. The issue here is players showing more respect to the judges. I felt this offense was the same as what Hewitt said about the lines man against Blake. Racism is absolutely not acceptable. So, lets move on. Even the title of this topic says Serena said "I'm gonna kill you" which isn't even wat was said. So its obvious that you do not like her.
BTW, she wasn't thrown out of a match like you put it, It just happened that the second warning was on match point which is a BIG DIFFERENCE.... so lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Before anyone starts trawling through old topics, I was refering those boards addressing the recent incident in my previous post.

Non - the only racial abuse I have seen on these message boards has been directed at the line judge and has come from Vic M. Criticism of Serena Williams is not ipso facto racist.
Kmf - it is true that none of us know Serena Williams personally but we are all entitled to comment on her public persona, which is looking pretty vile at the moment.

yeah that would be a win win for humanity no matter the outcome. God Palin is so dumb thank god the rednecks didn't have enough votes to get her in or all of humanity would have been suffering.

Indeed. I feel the same when players are criticised for underperforming. Easy to be an armchair pundit, but I wouldn't win a single point against Bogdanovic let alone Murray!

|Michelle (Pottstown, June 18, 2014)
|I ordered this for my fiance about a year ago. It was beautiful when it arrived, but it has worn so terribly. The blue is completely gone and the clear coat, or whatever is used to make it shiny is all cracked and broken. I had it engraved and you can barely read it anymore. I would not order from this site again. It wasn't a cheap purchase and it's not even old yet!

|I got this necklace for my boyfriend for his birthday. He had been wanting a St. Christopher necklace, but he doesn't like anything that is boring. This necklace was exactly what I was looking for! The blue background color gave it enough spice. He wears it everyday. I plan on buying another one for my younger brother who is also looking for a new St. Christopher necklace. Best Uses: Gift; Pros: Chain good length, Color was perfect, Nice size, Perfect Quality

|Raw meat or fish (beef, veal, venison, salmon or tuna)
|Cookbook: Carpaccio Media: Carpaccio
Carpaccio (UK /kɑːrˈpætʃioʊ/ or US /kɑːrˈpɑːtʃⁱoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [karˈpattʃo]) is a dish of raw meat or fish[1] (such as beef, veal, venison, salmon or tuna), thinly sliced or pounded thin and served mainly as an appetizer. It is the international name of a typical Italian dish made with raw meat which was invented and popularised in the second half of the twentieth century by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice.[citation needed] It was named after the Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio and the beef was served with lemon, olive oil, and white truffle or Parmesan cheese. Later, the term was extended to dishes containing other raw meats or fish, thinly sliced and served with lemon or vinegar, olive oil, salt and ground pepper.
Carpaccio is the international name of a typical Italian dish made with raw meat. The dish was proposed with this name for the first time in Venice, at the time of an exhibition dedicated to Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio which took place in 1963.
The dish, based on the Piedmont speciality carne cruda all'albese, was invented and popularised by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice. He originally prepared the dish for the countess Amalia Nani Mocenigo[2] when he learned that the doctors had recommended that she eat raw meat.[3] The dish was named carpaccio after Vittore Carpaccio, the Venetian painter known for the characteristic red and white tones of his work.[2]
The typical Piedmont carpaccio is made with very thin slices of beef placed on a dish with lemon, olive oil, and shavings of white truffle or Parmesan cheese, and can be topped with arugula.
The meat typically used for carpaccio is beef sirloin. Since this dish is served raw, the meat must be fresh. Less commonly, reflecting Piedmont tradition, carpaccio can also be made with minced meat and garlic, called "carne cruda".
Modern usage[edit]
Today the term carpaccio is sometimes used for any preparation made with thinly sliced raw meat, fish or vegetables (usually seasoned with lemon, or vinegar, olive oil, salt and ground pepper) or fruit. Carpaccio is also a popular appetizer in neighbouring Friuli and Slovenia, where it is usually served on rucola with a slice of lemon, Parmesan cheese, and toasted French bread.

Access IT, a software provider and technology trainer based in France, helps more than 300 European customers deploy and learn about Microsoft products and technologies. Recently, the company wanted to address growing customer needs for improved software testing functionality, better collaboration tools, and increased development language interoperability. Access IT also sought to create rich applications using technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight. The company implemented Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 internally and for several of its customers. Access IT can now help its customers improve code quality, increase collaboration among disparate teams, and simplify heterogeneous development. With the new tools, Access IT has already created an innovative collaboration product and expects to gain new business.
Access IT, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, is an IT services and training company headquartered in Lille, France. The company's 50 consultants and trainers, who work in offices in Paris and Lille, offer technical expertise, project development, and software solution delivery. Access IT assists more than 300 companies in learning and deploying Microsoft software.
Other Access IT customers have geographically separate development and testing teams, and they sought better collaboration tools for those teams. "One of our biggest customers has three development teams in different offices, and it wanted to help those employees communicate more easily with each other," says Etienne Margraff, Consultant, Access IT.
Access IT customers were also looking for better interoperability between Visual Studio and other software. For example, some of the company's customers do development work in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and wanted to more easily integrate that environment with Visual Studio. Other customers create products using Java and other programming languages, but also wanted to develop with the .NET Framework and use one set of tools for project visibility in multiple environments.
Additionally, Access IT wanted to find a solution that it could use to develop creative applications based on the Microsoft Silverlight browser plug-in, Windows Presentation Foundation, and the Microsoft Surface multi-touch computer. "We were looking to grow our business with these new technologies, and we wanted to make sure Visual Studio and the .NET Framework would work easily with them," states Margraff.
When Access IT began exploring new development software in early 2009, it was most interested in finding the right Microsoft products to meet its needs. "All of our work is based on Microsoft software, and our customers primarily use Visual Studio and the .NET Framework," says Margraff.
Almost immediately, the company decided to implement beta versions of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010. "These products feature new testing functionality, architectural tools, and collaboration capabilities, all of which would address our customers' requirements," Laforest states.
For example, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate users can create coded UI tests, which are automated tests that make sure the user interface is operating correctly following changes in the code. "That is something we could not do previously," Laforest says. Access IT was also interested in IntelliTrace, a debugging tool that can help isolate the specific point of failure within an application's history. In addition, the company knew that its customers could take advantage of new architectural tools in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. For example, Architecture Explorer provides the ability to display software projects graphically, while developers can use the Layer Diagram feature to view and model application dependencies and design applications visually.
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 offers new hierarchical work item linking capabilities, so developers can increase the richness of their work item links. And with gated check-in, developers can validate code check-ins on a separate build machine before that code is committed to the team's shared source control repository.
In addition, Access IT wanted to implement Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate because of its fully integrated support for Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation application development, including a drag-and-drop design surface for easy development.
In late 2009, Access IT began implementing beta versions of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, both internally and for several of its larger customers.
With the Microsoft solution, Access IT customers have better tools for tracking and testing their applications. Customers also have improved capabilities for collaboration and for developing in different environments. In addition, Access IT can be more creative in product design and has the opportunity to grow its business.
New testing functionality gives Access IT and its customers the tools required to maintain healthier software code. For instance, they can perform functional testing for the first time. "One of our major customers lacked the right tools to automate its testing processes," says Margraff. "With Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, the company can run automated UI tests and a range of other automated tests that help find and correct software bugs."
Gated check-in also helps stop broken source code from being submitted. "With the gated check-in feature in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, we can guarantee that our source code will match expected quality," Margraff says. In addition, IntelliTrace will help reduce testing time for Access IT customers. "IntelliTrace in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate is a great debugging tool that improves a team's ability to reproduce bugs," Laforest says. "That will help developers save time in their day-to-day work."
Because Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 integrates testing and development tools and processes, it can help dispersed development teams improve collaboration. For example, the Access IT customer with three regionally distributed teams now has more powerful project collaboration capabilities. "With Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, every part of the application lifecycle management process is in one centralized location," says Margraff. "Because the testing environment is integrated into the developer environment, a developer can easily and quickly correct a bug and send the bug to the tester, who can validate it."
Better interoperability between the Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C# languages and other dynamic languages will help Access IT customers develop with multiple technologies. "The Microsoft solution makes it possible for customers to work seamlessly with other technologies," says Margraff. "Companies who want to develop solutions in both Java and the .NET Framework can work on those projects together in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010."
Team Foundation Server also contains dashboards for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and Office SharePoint Server 2007, giving developers new ways to analyze and track the progress of a project. "Our customers want one place where they can see everything that's happening with any development project," says Margraff. "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 gives them that functionality."
Internally, Access IT has used Windows Presentation Foundation in the Microsoft .NET Framework 4, the integrated Windows Presentation Foundation designer in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, and hierarchical work items in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 to develop a new customer application called TeamTable. Using this application, development teams can collaborate on a Microsoft Surface table. Margraff says, "With the integrated Windows Presentation Foundation design features in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, we were able to create an exciting new multi-touch application that reflects how developers want to be able to work."
With the ability to be more creative in application development, Access IT expects to create new business. "Because we can now use the integrated Windows Presentation Foundation designer and other features in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, we can generate business and take on projects that we were not capable of doing before," Margraff says.
Similarly, the improved interoperability with non-Microsoft development environments through Teamprise technology in Visual Studio 2010 means that Access IT can meet more of its customers' needs. "More and more of our customers use Team Foundation Server to build both Java and .NET-based applications," says Margraff. "We expect to succeed in reaching out to these customers to show them how their existing environments can be improved with the use of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010."

Beyond the 'emergency', there's no vision for life in normal times
Ministers are talking about declaring the financial crisis over, so what's next?
Published 17/08/2014 | 02:30
Decades after World War II ended, legislation brought in specifically to provide special powers to the State in time of war was still on the statute books, albeit in amended form.
'The Emergency', as the war was euphemistically referred to from 1939 to 1945, wasn't actually declared over by the then government until 1946.
Brendan Howlin has raised the flag of the end of the latter day 'emergency' - the financial crisis which has engulfed the country for the past six years. "A day will arrive when the emergency no longer exists," the Public Expenditure minister says.
The minister is planning to hold talks with the public sector unions next year on the restoration of public sector pay and pension cuts made during the economic crisis.
The negotiations between the Government and public sector unions will centre on the possible reversal of the public sector pension levy, direct pay cuts and reductions in pensions for retired workers.
Howlin has made it clear all the €2bn worth of cuts won't be reversed and those pay reductions that are restored will be done over time. Some of the measures will have to be retained.
The most contentious moves were a pension levy worth an average 7.5pc and a pay cut worth an average of 6.5pc to each public sector worker. The cuts to nearly 300,000 public sector workers were made under emergency legislation, prompted by the economic collapse - the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Acts 2009-2013, known as FEMPI.
Setting aside the public sector for a moment, Howlin does raise a valid point: eventually, the financial emergency will have to be officially declared to be over.
Budget 2015 is expected to be the last of the budgets where a major adjustment is required. Unemployment is dropping, albeit never at a fast enough rate.
The troika has departed, although it retains a close eye on the country's activities.
The bailout has ended, even if its effects will continue to be felt for decades.
Coalition ministers are preparing for the end of the emergency, but there is scant evidence of any real thinking of what lies ahead.
The Government has yet to articulate any vision of how society, the economy and public services will develop in the years ahead as the country gradually returns to relative normality.
The painfully long Labour Party leadership contest illustrated the lack of fresh thinking at the heart of the political system. Condescending State of the Nation addresses from the Taoiseach don't suffice. What's required is a clear enunciation from the Government of where it sees Ireland going beyond the emergency.
Relying upon President Michael D Higgins to be the conscience of the nation won't really deliver the required perspective. Those with the real power need to say what sort of society they want to see emerging.
Show some actual leadership and they will find people will respond. Set out an alternative to the grab-all ethos of the Celtic Tiger era, which would see values and accepted standards put forward, including protection of the most vulnerable, that is not just based on how much is in the kitty for an organisation the following year. The country won't go back to the largesse of a decade ago, but a sustainable economic and social model has to be the goal. How about a restatement of responsibilities - from the citizen to the State and the State to the citizen?
Apart from continuing to attract foreign companies by offering race to the bottom deals on corporation tax, what exactly is the plan for job creation? And when that eventually runs its course, what's the back-up?
Fostering an entrepreneurial spirit, where young, dynamic business people can try and fail and try again to set up their own firms and create employment is surely the direction the country needs to go. Apart from the lack of such a culture, the realities of the financial crisis means the banking system is not fit for purpose to ensure the next generation can secure the funding to even get off the ground.
The most egregious emergency measure of the economic collapse was not the public sector pay cuts, but the introduction of the USC. Yet nobody in Government is talking about removing it from the statute books.
The punitive personal taxation system, where 52 cents of every euro earned above €32,000 is gone on tax is not going to encourage any worker to go the extra mile. And that's before indirect taxes come into the equation.
The experience of the 1980s and the early 1990s shows the drag on the economy of high personal taxation. Instead of reassuring the populace that Budget 2015 will be the last big ask, the water charges is the final piece in the tax jigsaw and tax relief is on the horizon, an honest appraisal of taxation policy would provide reassurance there is a plan in mind.
Public Services
When the civil servant in charge of public sector reform says it has to be made easier to sack public sector workers who underperform, it's time to take notice. Department of Public Expenditure and Reform secretary general Robert Watt said this summer the public service should adopt the practices already used in the private sector - "in effect, writing a cheque to move somebody out".
"We know in the private sector, particularly when it comes to senior leaders when there are issues around performance, that people are exited out and that usually comes in the form of a payment or a package.
"That's done in a way which respects confidentiality, so that people don't know exactly why somebody left or the conditions of their departure," he said.
As she left Ireland after five years as head of the health standards watchdog Hiqa, Dr Tracy Cooper warned of the damage of a lack of accountability: "The problem is that we've never had any consequences, so that if there's a systems failure or a major problem with the quality of services, nothing really happens."
The lack of consequences results in a repeat of failings. But this can also mean a failure to attract the best people and no reward for innovation. In the talks on restoring pay cuts for the public sector, genuine structures to ensure accountability have to be on the table.
The disappointment of seeing so many of the principles of a new-era politics being abandoned will rankle with voters. This Government had a once in a half century opportunity to do away with the same old, same old, the promise breaking, the weasel words, the cronyism, the parish pump, the Punch and Judy Show. But they blew it. Their chance is gone. A breath of fresh air would be to have a few political leaders willing to stand up and prove their decisions were made in the national interest, rather than the party interest and that people will be appointed on the basis of ability, not geography. Wouldn't it be nice?
Just don't hold your breath.

I am so d**n tired of this man it makes me sick. He is a DRUNK like the rest of his family and they all suck! The man pisses himself he drinks so much. Gives a whole new meaning to a Golden Shower! His momma runs behind him cleaning upp his messes. She needs to pay his Child Support if she wants to help out.
She needs to open her eyes and realize her son is CRAP! My daughter wants to change her last name she is so over it and she's only 12. To have a child make a decision like that on her own is horrible. If anyone thinks that this man is a man.....LOLOLOL, your kidding yourself.
I can't even say how far behind he is in Support because im not sure there's a number that goes that high. Forget about the money these children need a daddy. But he's more interested in that next beer. Beware women of cocoa, he's a slim ball! In the end he will get his, he'll die alone without his children by his side.

FlatRate: Green Movers in NYC and Beyond
People are often astounded to find out that FlatRate is one of the top green movers in the country. Given the number of trucks and facilities we operate, it's a challenge to be a green moving company. But we love challenges! Here are a few of the ways we've set the industry standard for green.
Green Moving Company Facts
- Much of our fleet operates with diesel particulate filters that reduce hydrocarbons by 50% and particulate matter by 90+% over the current 2004 emission standards.
- Years ago when people drove past our Bronx headquarters they wondered what was up with the roof! Well that was before the popularity of solar-paneling really took off. We're proud to have a roof that generates a lot of the juice at our state-of-the-art call center. That's green movers, NYC!
- With 300,000 square feet of space in storage facilities around the country (and the world!), we are not just a green moving company but a green storage company as well. With modern climate control and efficient lighting, we make every effort to be green movers you can feel proud to hire.
- We fund clean energy and efficiency projects with verified reductions in greenhouse gas emissions via Terra Pass, a group that helps reduce our carbon footprint.
- We formed the UPCYCLE Program with the Salvation Army. We bring two boxes to every move, and free of charge, we'll deliver your unwanted toys, books, clothes, and small household goods to the Salvation Army to distribute for sale at its New York area stores.
- Do you need green moving boxes, NYC? Our box delivery program helps reduce emissions throughout the city by eliminating the need for you to travel to find or pick up boxes at multiple locations.
- A majority of our marketing materials are produced on 100% recycled paper.
- We go above and beyond the recycling mandates of the municipalities in which you are moving from and to. Every effort is made to recycle waste from each and every moving projects we tackle.
Green Movers Summary
When you think green movers, think FlatRate! We're always working hard to provide the best possible solutions for our customers while being cognizant of the environment at the same time. The environment is top of mind with every decision we make, and your move is no exception.

It seems a growing number of young people have been entering the death care industry in the last few years, and most don't have a family background in the field. The funeral/death care industry has long been dominated by family-owned businesses, such as ours, who hand down the business from generation to generation, and very few who simply "choose" this career. But, times are changing and all too many family-owned funeral homes have had to close their doors or sell out to large corporations. Even still, I think that most find it interesting that one would choose this line of work.
After spending 25 years in the business, I can tell you that it is a calling and not simply a "job." In fact, I wouldn't consider it a job, nor would I call it a profession. If you are doing it right and are going to last for the long haul, it is a lifestyle. You need to have an understanding and appreciation of caregiving, and a desire to want to help people. You need to be stable, and be able to separate your personal life from what you see and do throughout your workday. You need to be able to offer a calm and caring voice, helping people have a dignified and well-run service. And, of course, you must have good business sense and keen organizational skills to be successful.
So what draws people to the death care industry? For most, I believe it is the concept of caregiving and being able to help grieving families. Whether they are looking to be a mortician preparing a body for the families viewing, or a funeral director executing a seamless service – those that truly have the calling want to help families receive closure, and to provide the deceased with a proper, dignified send-off.

After upgrading to the latest WordPress version on April 20, 2012, I immediately received a Fatal Error when trying to access my admin page. Here's the message that is displayed across the top of my screen:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /home/******/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/manage-images.php on line 485"
Could anyone please help me solve this problem? I downloaded the latest NextGEN version as soon as it was available, and that, too, produces the error.
When I log into my site as a regular subscriber, I also receive the same error when trying to go to that admin page.
My host provider says my problem more than likely exists with a php.ini file. They're not allowed to help with such matters, telling me I'm on my own.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Passage of a jobs bill and extension of unemployment benefits was delayed again in the Senate Monday and today for a combination of reasons - a three-foot snowstorm and maneuvers by conservative lawmakers that an AFL-CIO blogger called "snow madness."
Only three senators showed up to vote on anything and the House yesterday cancelled all votes because of the weather.
The fate of the extension of unemployment benefits that the labor movement has been demanding is one of the major issues that remained unresolved.
Last year the Senate unanimously approved a measure that extended unemployment benefits from 79 to 99 weeks. But Republican lawmakers are signaling that the "party of no" may block an extension this year, particularly if it is included in a bigger jobs package.
Conservative Democrats favor extending the benefits temporarily, not for the whole year.
Liberal Democrats, noting that employers are not hiring, favor extending the benefits for the rest of the year.
Unions and their allies, meanwhile, are far from happy with what they see as the piecemeal approach Congress is taking so far on the unemployment crisis.
The labor-backed Economic Policy Institute says a much broader program is needed than anything Congress is considering right now.
Roger Hickey, co-chair of the Campaign for America's Future, said Monday, "There's an assumption that the economy is on the mend, an assumption most unemployed Americans don't share."
"Equally troubling," Hickey said, is that "the usual liberal warriors in the Senate of reform and pro-worker policies haven't stood up for large-scale programs."
One of the biggest failures, many say, is a lack of focus on the jobless crisis in the hardest hit low-income communities.
Writing in The New York Times yesterday, columnist Bob Herbert noted, "What you're not hearing from the politicians and talking heads is that joblessness and unemployment in America's low-income households rival their heights in the Great Depression of the 1930s and in some cases are worse.
"The same holds true for some categories of blue-collar workers. Anyone who thinks this devastating problem is going away soon, or that the economy can be got back on track without addressing it, is delusional."
Although the official unemployment figures in January showed a statistically insignificant downward tick, they actually increased dramatically for African Americans. The jobless rate for Black men over 20 rose a full percentage point to 17.6 percent.
Jared Bernstein, a leading White House economic adviser, defended the administration's record on the jobs crisis.
"Our policies, most notably the Recovery Act, have helped us move from a situation where we were losing a nightmarish 750,000 jobs per month, to one in which we've pulled back from the economic abyss and are moving close to adding jobs, on net, on a regular basis.
"But," he added, "we can't kick back for a moment and have to hasten the arrival of more robust jobs growth with a set of measures targeted at the facts holding back job creation."
Meanwhile, there were more signs this week that a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress will be anything but helpful in the job creation effort. Some are pushing deficit reduction and tax breaks for the rich as the way out of the crisis.
Claiming "a working couple making $250,000 is barely able to make ends meet," Rep. Mike McMahon, a conservative New York Democrat, signaled he was joining Republicans who favor those tax breaks.
Blue Dog Democrats are signaling that they intend to push hard for government spending freezes.
In a move that will challenge both their leaders and the president, a group of Democratic House centrists will reportedly soon introduce a bill capping discretionary spending at specific levels, The Hill reported yesterday.
Dean Baker, director of the Center for Economic Policy Research, derided the so-called deficit hawks, saying, "In spite of their whining, history and financial markets tell us that the deficit and debt levels that we are experiencing and currently seeing are not a serious problem.
"The story," Baker declared, "is that we are forcing people to be out of work - unable to properly care for their children, because billionaire investors are able to buy their way into and control the public debate. The reality is that we have an unemployment crisis today, not a deficit crisis."

Can someone give me a general idea of how many MB/GB I would want for storage and bandwidth assuming 2000 page views per day? The blog would have minimum amount of small pictures (assume 5 a week, so maybe 10 on the front page?)
I'd like to do it as cheaply as possible as I'm not sure my idea is worth my time (ie can get enough advertisements). My two choices (for cheapness) are:
The later has a pricing system where you pay for actual storage/bandwith, but since I have no idea what I would be using, I'm having trouble comparing the two.

2008 Nissan 350Z Coupe Enthusiast 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
I had a flashy red 2005 350Z ('til hubby wrecked it on a slick road <waaah>). Just bought a 2008 350 (same trim level). Life is good again; it's my daily commute vehicle, and I laughed outloud for the sheer joy of driving again on the way home (on the mountain roads) last night. I like the new steering wheel radio controls; the blind spot doesn't seem as bad as the 2005 version. 'Course that could be because I'm so happy to be zipping around the turns again. WooHoo!
Grippy tires in the curves; love the door cup holders. The fact I can (and do) get two golf bags in the trunk and still look good entering the golf course parking lot.
I bought this car in July and put appx 3300 miles on since. I just gave it my first oil change. This car is a complete MACHINE! Feels great on the road. Great fuel economy, outstanding performance off the line and from 60+. It's the enthusiast version so it has the limited slip and traction control. Really sticks to the road. Very maneuverable. I test drove the 2008 Mustang GT, Chevy Cobalt SS supercharged, Mazda rx8, Mitsubishi eclipse GT. The 08 350Z Enthusiast just blew them all away. Might have only 2 seats and room for golf bags, but in the end, no one can really fit in the "4 seater sports cars" anyway. Best car I have driven to date. Very happy.
Power, handling, looks great, sounds great, not loud in cockpit.
Runs great, feels great, all ++ from me
I believe this is the best value for your money if you're looking for some performance. If you're looking for practicality, don't get this car. The trunk can be useless. If those are not an issue, get this car! The engine is fabulous and handles spectacularly. The ride is bearable enough for a long road trip, but the clutch is not to my liking (try it and you will see). Gas mileage can be good if sticking it in 6th gear (26 mpg is my best), and it can obviously drain your wallet fast if driven hard.
I love the engine and exhaust music at higher rpms. It's my favorite song of all time.
The issue since day 1 continues to today. The interior still stinks. The metallic dials are nice, but still not enough. Also, it's a bulbous machine and too much clutch action. Hopefully these will be non-issues in the 370Z.
I've had my 2008 Enthusiast Z for a couple of weeks now. So far, I love it! Can't say much about reliability yet, of course, but everything else is good. PROS: F-U-N! It is a blast to drive this car. The engine sounds great, too. You get a 300hp, road-hugging sports car for $30k. Best deal out there. And it turns heads. :-) Plenty of headroom (and I'm 6'4") CONS: Clutch is WAY too long. There's, like, 4-6 inches of play before it engages. You can hear every speck of dirt hit the rear wheel wells. Kinda annoying. Wheel doesn't telescope, which would've made a HUGE difference in leg room for me. Stereo's kinda lame. The fun of driving this car easily makes up for any minor nits! Recommend!
Engine, engine, engine. The exterior design and the kickin' wheels are nice too. Great job on the wheels, Nissan!
Upgrade the stereo or make it easier for the buyer to upgrade. Put some sound dampening on the rear wheel wells. Make the steering wheel telescope! Add keyless entry/start, where you never have to take it out of your pocket.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Rest assured, together as a team, Fort Bragg Garrison and XVIII Airborne Corps will protect not only the people on Fort Bragg, but help protect the community that surrounds and supports them.
On June 17, Headquarters, Department of Army announced Fort Bragg's "Team Protect," a combined effort between the XVIII Abn. Corps protection cell and the Fort Bragg Security and Intelligence Division, the winner of the 2010 Best Army Antiterrorism Program for a large installation.
According to a memo from Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, commanding general for XVIII Abn. Corps and Fort Bragg, force protection is a top priority in order to prevent an attack and minimize the risks from all hazards to Fort Bragg's Soldiers, civilians, Families, infrastructure and information.
Together, Team Protect provides the most effective, efficient and holistic security approach to protecting Fort Bragg. Being the largest Army base, by population, Team Protect's program emphasizes awareness, preparedness, response and recovery measures for all hazards, especially terrorism.
"This couldn't have been successful (if) we (hadn't) worked together to move this program forward," said Col. Jon Drushal, corps' protection chief.
The key team players in making this program functional were the XVIII Abn. Corps, garrison, Pope Air Force Base, U.S. Army Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command.
"As the premiere power projection installation for the deployment of airborne and special operations forces to trouble spots around the world, Fort Bragg faces a dynamic challenge to keep the installation and our population safe while accomplishing the multitude of missions abroad and at home," stated Helmick's memo.
But Fort Bragg and its population isn't Team Protect's only concern; it has also involved the community outside the secure gates of Fort Bragg. The team's philosophy is that: something doesn't just happen to Fort Bragg or just the community, it happens to everyone. It has implemented multiple sources for the outside community to work with to protect and minimize any threat or harm.
"My experience is that the relationship between the garrison, corps and tenant unit antiterrorism/force protection offices is unique," Drushal said. "Our winning (this award) is a reflection of the fact that coordinating these efforts (and) pulling resources is the model for the future."
Team Protect would like to remind everyone that if they suspect any suspicious activity, security violations, or possible terrorism threat to call 90-REACT (907-3228).
According to Helmick's memo, "In this era of conflict, the possibility of a terrorist attack is ever-present. We must never lose sight of our responsibility to protect our people, equipment and infrastructure at home and abroad."

Today we mainly worked on numeral recognition with our sandpaper numbers and the egg carton number work. Since I've already shared those works in the past, I thought I would share some fun seasonal ideas other people are doing.
Pumpkin Displaying Age: I'm thinking of using Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Number Idea to display the boys' ages. What a cute photo idea!
Spider Tweezing: I saw the ice-cube tray at the dollar store. I think I might add this one to the shelf this week.
Fall Tree Craft: This one looks fun…but messy. Good thing I'm getting better about letting the boys make a mess. ;)
Pom Pom Baby Fun: Wouldn't this be fun with orange and black pom poms? (Scroll down to the end of the post to see the picture.)
Halloween Sensory Tub: This would be fun for all ages…even babies and toddlers…just make sure they don't eat any of it!!! :)
Skeleton Puzzle: JR LOVES skeletons. He'd find this one really fun.
Spooky Sorting: Really cute execution!
Egg Carton Pumpkins: I never tire of repurposing egg cartons in a cute way. :)
Creative Pumpkins: No carving necessary. Yay!
And since I hate to end a post without a pic…here's a photo of JR hamming it up on an old bridge we found a couple of weekends ago. We're thinking of using it as a backdrop for our next family photos…what do you guys think?

Acronym for "obvious vanity shot." The digital photos of individuals mainly seen on Facebook or MySpace pages that were quite plainly taken by the subject themselves. Clues to look for include the person's own arm extending to one of the lower corners of the shot, indicating they were holding the camera themselves & their own dorky smiles showing they simply can't get enough of their own good looks.

After doing the upgrade I lost my smilies. I notice in the database I have an option id of 16 (use_smilies) but not id 17. Is that a fault on my end?
After doing the upgrade I lost my smilies. I notice in the database I have an option id of 16 (use_smilies) but not id 17. Is that a fault on my end?
I just checked and my smilies are still showing. (alpha 10 here)
I dl'd the entire nightly, ran the upgrade and then discovered my wp-grins plugin was no longer working. I checked the database and entered the option_id of 17 manually so the smilies are working now. What concerns me is why it was not there in the first place and how does one go about changing the location of the smilies without going into the database? Makes me wonder what else didn't get added that is necessary (or dropped that isn't).
The smilies directory is hardcoded as
Although hardcoded as wp-images/smilies, the database contains the full path. What happened in my case was that somehow, after running upgrade.php, index.php got added into the path, i.e. localhost/blog/index.php/wp-images/smilies. When I went into database and deleted "index.php" from the path, the smilies came back, of course.
With 1.2, I no longer can change which directory the smilies are in. So when I changed my directory from test to make it live, the path was wrong in the database. I'd like to be able to set what directory the smilies are in from the admin, like it was in 1.0.2.
I had this problem to, but with a variation:
wp_grins() is trying to pull smilies from my root directory when calling the function. However, when REPLACING :smiley: with the actual image, it pulls the smiley from the correct directory (wp-images/smilies) ... i solved this with the (rather inellegant) workaround of copying the images into my root.
@Beel: if I wanted to edit my database directly (I use phyMyAdmin) where will I find that line? (so that I wont have the duplicate image files)
