Brazilian Judge Orders Arrest of Google Executive Over YouTube Videos (The Daily Dot)
A judge in Brazil has ordered the arrest of a Google executive after the company refused to remove two YouTube videos last week allegedly slandering a mayoral candidate in the city of Campo Grande. Judge Flavio Peren placed the order on Fabio Jose Silva Coehlo, Google's president of operations in Brazil. AP The videos on YouTube make incendiary comments about an alleged paternity suit aimed at Alcides Bernal, who is running for mayor of the city of Campo Grande. Google said in a Tuesday statement that it rejected the decision by Peren, which included an order for a statewide, 24-hour suspension of Google and YouTube. The Financial Times The order, which Google is appealing, is the second time this month that an electoral court in Brazil has tried to arrest a top executive at the company for failing to delete YouTube videos attacking a mayoral candidate. While Google frequently faces challenges worldwide over videos or images uploaded to its websites, especially in the Middle East, Brazil is among the top sources of requests for content removal. Reuters In the second half of last year, Google removed four Orkut social network profiles after an electoral court order, the company said on a portion of its website called the Transparency Report. The Verge The controversy over these ads echoes that over the trailer for "Innocence of Muslims," an anti-Islam piece that has sparked protests worldwide. If popular outcry exists in this case, it's much more muted, and the video below has gotten only about 8,000 views since late August.
Facebook Releases New Software Development Kit to Support IOS 6 (AllFacebook)
Facebook released its new software development kit with support for the social network's integration into Apple's iOS 6, Facebook SDK 3.1 for iOS. The social network said in a post on its developer blog that Facebook's integration in iOS 6 is complementary to the new software development kit, including native Facebook login and native sheet for posting content to Facebook. The Wall Street Journal Facebook's botched initial public offering is turning into a potential legal morass for the social-networking firm, its investment bankers and the exchange on which it went public. About 50 lawsuits have been filed against Facebook, Nasdaq OMX Group and underwriters of Facebook's IPO in May, according to lawyers involved in the cases. AP Pittsburgh police plan to train their officers to be fluent in social media, joining other departments nationwide, days after a man armed with a hammer and kitchen knife used a hostage's computer to post Facebook messages lamenting his troubles. The case of Klein Michael Thaxton, who is accused of picking a hostage at random in a downtown office tower and then kept authorities at bay for hours before surrendering and releasing the hostage, was a first for the Pittsburgh department.

Twitter's Dream Metric is Not Followers – It's How Many People Saw Your Tweet, Says Co-Founder (AllTwitter)
Twitter co-founder and former CEO Evan Williams suggests that retweets might actually be the superior metric over follower count. Williams also offered some clues as to why Twitter has been so aggressively closing doors on former partners of late, because with greater control over clients and apps Twitter could "measure whether or not a tweet was requested in a timeline."

Leaving for the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival (held at the Dutchess County Fairground) on Friday. I will take Lisel and Tank this year and leave Miss Chip home. Miss Chip won the Lleaping Llama contest two years in a row and after she won again last year I overheard some kids say 'not fair, she won last year' and 'she's a ringer'. I'm proud of Miss Chip, and she's great fun to take, but it's time to change things around a bit. Besides, Miss Chip is really too big for the small stalls they provide.
I am sad that the rules have changed and we aren't allowed to sell anything in the llama/alpaca barn anymore. This is the first year I would have had anything to sell – my lockspun yarn with llama fiber! Considering the fact that I need to arrive Friday night, I bring animals, pay for gas, hotel, arrange for farm coverage and spend two days sharing my llamas with the public FOR FREE and it costs me a couple-few hundred dollars to do this, it would be nice if they let us sell fiber stuff from our animals. If things don't change, this may be my last year because times are tough and I'm not sure I will be able to afford it next year. Shows are different because the potential to win prize money is there and I've been fortunate that the wins have helped me to break even.
Even if you don't knit, spin, or do anything fiber, this is a great festival for everyone. The food is amazing and there are plenty of live animals to visit.
This will be my fifth year (maybe my sixth, actually) at Rhinebeck. I enjoy talking llama all weekend without the pressures of showing. One thing that's been consistent when we go is the rain. There is always rain one day or another. I have never been prepared. But today – I am going to Tractor Supply for a shiny yellow raincoat. Bring it on. (Anyway, if I buy a raincoat, it probably won't rain.)
If you go, visit us!

From Lifehack's 50 tricks to get things done faster, better, and more easily.
50-30-20: Spend 50% of your working day on tasks that advance your long-term, life goals, spend 30% on tasks that advance your middle-term (2-years or so) goals, and the remaining 20% on things that affect only the next 90 days or so.
Timer: Tell yourself you will work on a project or task, and only that project or task, for a set amount of time. Set a timer (use a kitchen timer, or use a countdown timer on your computer), and plug away at your work. When the timer goes off, you're done — move on to the next project or task.
Do Your Worst: Give yourself permission to suck. Relieve the pressure of needing to achieve perfection in every task on the first run. Promise yourself you'll go back and fix any problems later, but for now, just run wild.

It has been some time since Saint Lucia has had such a bloody weekend. The society was still reeling from the news while National Security and Home Affairs Minister Guy Mayers was calling for the community to pull together during this time.
Friends and family of Vincentian-born Gloria Greenwood are among those in mourning. The 79-year-old was found dead outside her house around 9:30am on Sunday October 16. According to police, she was pronounced dead on the scene by a medical doctor. Police confirm there were marks of violence on her body and suspect she was bludgeoned. An autopsy was scheduled for yesterday (Tuesday).
The STAR made its way to Greenwood's residence at Glasgow Hill, Marisule on Monday. Her driveway was adorned with beautiful flora. The house appeared secluded with no neighbours in close proximity. There was no activity of any kind. The 'BEWARE OF DOG' sign mounted on the gate seemed to be just a namesake.
We drove around the area and spoke to a few helpers and neighbours who collectively agreed that the victim had a glorious garden where she invested most of her time and energy. One neighbour, McDonald Dixon, described Greenwood as a dear friend and was shocked at the news of her death. He hopes her death will not be added to the long list of unsolved murders in St Lucia.
Police say while a motive is yet to be established, a quantity of items were reported as missing from her home. Neighbours believe that Greenwood's former employee should be a person of interest because he had broken into her house before and tried to steal her car.
Police assure that an investigation is ongoing, however, no one is in custody in relation to this matter. At press time we were informed that Greenwood's car had been found.
On Friday October 14 around 10:30pm at Cemetery Road in Soufriere, 39-year-old Laila Norgaard Joseph from Denmark was at her house with her husband and two other individuals when two masked men entered the house with a firearm and a cutlass respectively. She was shot in the upper part of her body after the intruders demanded money. The men fled the scene thereafter. She was taken to the Soufriere Hospital where she was pronounced dead. No one has been arrested in connection with the incident and a motive has not been established.
Soufriere police are also investigating the death of 53-year-old Alphonso Charlemagne aka "Jump-Up" of Lesperance, Soufriere, who was involved in a traffic accident about 6:30pm on that very Friday at Mocha, Fond St Jacques. According to reports, Charlemagne was driving in the direction of his home when the vehicle hit a wall attached to a nearby bridge, then overturned and
plunged into the river.
He was taken via ambulance to the Soufriere Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
The other incident on that Friday occurred in Laborie. A 13-year-old boy, Kensley Hunte of Kennedy Highway, Laborie, was found dead in a wooden structure which is adjacent to his house, about 8:25pm. A police statement reported that his 24-year-old brother found him with a rope wrapped around his neck and the other end fastened to a nail attached to the upper part of the partition. His knees were reportedly resting on the floor of the structure. Police are treating the incident as a suspected suicide.
Hunte lived with his parents and siblings and attended the Vieux-Fort Comprehensive Secondary School.
Richfond police are investigating the death of 42-year-old, Josy Jules alias "Boy" of Grand Ravine, Dennery. Jules was found dead near a phone booth about 4am on Saturday at Grand Ravine. He was pronounced dead on the scene by a medical doctor. Reports indicate that the deceased was shot in the upper part of his body during a shooting in the earlier that day. There are three persons in custody in relation to this incident. A post mortem was scheduled for yesterday Tuesday.
On the same Saturday about 10:50pm, police responded to a report at Talvan, Babonneau, where 44-year-old Teddison Emmanuel was attacked by a cutlass wielding assailant. It was reported that Emmanuel was at
a shop in the area when his attacker struck him several times about the body. He reportedly left the area but the individual pursued him and allegedly struck him with the cutlass in the upper part of the body. He was later pronounced dead at the Victoria Hospital. One man is currently in police custody in relation to this incident.

Welsh Missionaries and British Imperialism
Full Product Description
In 1841, the Welsh sent their first missionary, Thomas Jones, to evangelise the tribal peoples of the Khasi Hills of north-east India. This book, available in paperback for the first time, follows Jones from rural Wales to Cherrapunji, the wettest place on earth and now one of the most Christianised parts of India. As colonised colonisers, the Welsh were to have a profound impact on the culture and beliefs of the Khasis. The book also foregrounds broader political, scientific, racial and military ideologies that mobilised the Khasi Hills into an interconnected network of imperial control. Its themes are universal: crises of authority, the loneliness of geographical isolation, sexual scandal, greed and exploitation, personal and institutional dogma, individual and group morality. Written by a direct descendant of Thomas Jones, it makes a significant contribution in orienting the scholarship of imperialism to a much-neglected corner of India, and will appeal to students of the British imperial experience more broadly.
Welsh Missionaries and British Imperialism by Andrew J. May was published by Manchester University Press in December 2015. The ISBN for Welsh Missionaries and British Imperialism is 9780719099977.

You may say salud when you're clinking wine glasses, but have you taken the necessary steps to make sure you're in good health? Well, today is World Health Day, so no time like the present! We talked to Gigi El-Bayoumi, associate professor of medicine at George Washington University Medical Center about the most crucial check-ups women ages 20 to 40 need to get and she stressed the importance of looking at your current health status.
"A lot of advice depends the chronological age of the woman and her overall health status," says Dr. El-Bayoumi. "We can all think of examples in which a 40-year-old woman is completely fit and is lucky to have good genes and no illnesses, and we can also think of 25-year-old women who are overweight and have chronic medical problems," she adds. "It's not a one size fits all." So make sure to check with your physician about what checkups are necessary for you. And if in doubt, here are some of the more common ones, according to Dr. El-Bayoumi:
Pap Test
If you are not in a committed relationship, have one done yearly. The thing that's changing is the HPV vaccine; HPV is the virus that causes cervical cancer. Latinas should consider getting that vaccine as they have a high rate of cervical cancer.
STD Test
Get an HIV blood test as part of the pap smear depending on how many sexual partners you have. You should get checked for chlamydia and gonorrhea, and for women in the inner city, syphilis is making a comeback.
Blood Test
Get a blood test to check cholesterol. If there's concern about a family history of diabetes, or if you're overweight, you should also get a diabetes test. If you're a vegetarian, check vitamin B12, and everyone should check their vitamin D level, which affects bone health.
We don't recommend this for people under the age of 40, but if you have a relative who has had breast cancer in their 20's, 30's or 40's, seek out a recommendation from a doctor.
Dental and Eye Checkups
Regular dental checks should happen every six months. Another thing that is forgotten about is eye care with an ophthalmologist. It doesn't need to happen more than twice in your 20's or 30's, but if you have high blood pressure or glaucoma in your family, you should get checked every year.
Check with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for vaccines and immunizations at any age

This is a twist on traditional Lebanese falafel. My recipe still uses chickpeas and fava beans like many Lebanese recipes. Where this version differs is the chickpeas and the cooking method. I used sprouted chickpeas, and baked the falafel with no oil, instead of the traditional cooking method of deep frying.

Is there going to be any support for new drafts of published content in Drupal 8? Or are we going to need to wait to upgrade until Workbench Moderation has a Drupal 8 version?
I just tried out Drupal 8 on simplytest.me. There doesn't seem to be a way to tell it that I want to be able to edit and save unpublished drafts of already-published content without unpublishing the content.
There is no mention of workflow improvements on the Drupal 8 promotional page. Yet, Workbench Moderation doesn't seem to have a Drupal 8 development version either.
I'm guessing leaving this feature out of Drupal 8 was an intentional choice, not an oversight, but I can't seem to find anything about it in the first few pages of a search on "workbench moderation" "drupal 8". Given that large organizations would likely want such a feature, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this apparent silence/absence.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Drupal 8 is still in
Drupal 8 is still in development, and has not even released an alpha or beta branch yet. Therefore most module developers have also not started development on their modules for it, which is almost definitely why you aren't seeing anything for the workbench moderation module for D8.

We continue this week with our on-going discussion about Dr. Timothy Paul Jones' NEW book "Family Ministry Field Guide." Each day this week we have hit upon a section of the book. So far we have touched on:
Foundation 1 – Map the Gap
Foundation 2 – Rethink Your Goal
Foundation 3 – Frame Your Ministry in God's Story Line
Today we'll look at Foundation 4 – Give Parents the Guidance They Need. We are also continuing our Daily Giveaway with something NEW – a Prize Package that includes:
"The Humongous Book of Bible Skits" – Group (sound effect CD included)
Yancy's "Loud & Clear" – Big songs for Young Hearts – CD
"Think Orange" – by Reggie Joiner
Details on how you can enter to WIN are below.
So, let's talk about "Give Parents the Guidance They Need." As you can see in our previous discussions it is clear that there is a biblical mandate for parents to be the spiritual leaders of their children. It is also apparent that this is not happening in the majority of Christian homes. There appears to be a Gap between recognition and application!
In "FMFG" Dr. Jones reveals the results of a study that show over 90% of parents recognize that they are responsible for the spiritual education of their children. "Even as parents admit their responsibility to function as primary faith trainers in their children's lives, most are doing little, if anything, to fulfill this role." WHAT???!!! Dr. Jones goes on to emphasize that this is a spiritual conflict, Ephesians 6:4, that demands a spiritual readiness Ephesians 6:13-20.
At the same time he points out that "the Enemy uses terrestrial trends and tools" in this battle! Two specific factors "Lack of Training and Lack of Time" get in the way of consistent discipleship. Our parents look at their schedule and see overload. They have also bought into the cultural norm that Athletic and Academic success are the #1 Family Priority. The church has also dropped the ball. "As a whole churches are not consistently encouraging or equipping parents to engage intentionally in their children's spiritual growth."
Wow! What now? Dr. Jones continues on in "FMFG" with some very practical and doable steps to move toward a Family Equipping Ministry. Let me encourage you to get a copy of "Family Ministry Field Guide" and check out those steps!
What is one thing that you are currently doing at your church to equip and encourage parents to disciple their children?

Motorola charm launch delayed till Aug 25th due to battery problem
Motorola is now competing equally with the other brands of mobile phones in the market. In its attempt to become successful, it has released a new set of smartphone into the market and given the name Motorola Charm to it. Initially the company had announced that the new device would be launched into the market by 15th of next month. However, due to some major issues involved with battery power, the release of the device has been postponed to 25th of August.
This android phone is said to be available with excellent features. You would get a QWERTY keypad in the device which would definitely benefit you a lot. The 2.8 touch screen's display resolution is of 320 x 240 QVGA. For a better experience in social networking, Motorola has provided the MotoBlur technology.
You would get good quality and brighter images now in this device with 3 megapixel camera with the Kodak perfect touch technology. Along with this, you can also expect to get CrystalTalk Plus feature in this phone. This would provide you with a second microphone so that the quality of the sound is absolutely perfect. At the same time, it will also have the ability to filter out the background noises.
The internal memory capacity of the phone is 512Mb. With the help pf a microSD card, this memory can be expanded up to about 32GB. The CPU capacity is of 600 Mhz while there are other features like the GPS, the Wi-Fi and it runs on the Android 2.1.
The cost of this new device from Motorola is expected to be around $270 in the US. However, there are no reports regarding the possible launch of this device in India. It was reported earlier that the "Charm" would run on the T-Mobile network.
The launch was delayed probably because the battery does not stay for long periods of time than it was expected which led to a less backup. Motorola considers that it is always better to resolve all the problematic issues before the launch of the product in order to avoid customer complaints. It does not want the case of iPhone 4 to get repeated.
So you would just have to wait 1 month more for the launch and then you can get ready to use the best android phone from Motorola.

IIRC, it was possible to create lobs in assm tablespaces since assm was introduced. If you enter "assm lob" in metalink, you will see a lot of issues ( mostly before 220.127.116.11 ) with ORA-00600, table corruption etc. etc., but technically it was possible.

Like her favourite animal, Elizabeth Bamford normally keeps a low profile. But now she is being recognised for her red squirrel conservation work with an award from Prince Charles's squirrel charity and a ceremony at Alnwick Castle.
The awards, from the Red Squirrel Survival Trust (RSST), will be presented by His Grace the Duke of Northumberland in a ceremony at Alnwick Castle in June.
And in synchronicity, the spotlight found Elizabeth as her beloved red squirrel made a dramatic reappearance on the Paxton House estate.
The red squirrel population at Paxton had been destroyed this spring by squirrel pox, causing concern as to whether they would ever come back.
But Elizabeth was adamant red squirrels would return to Paxton. "As I was on my way here, I got a call to tell me that a healthy red squirrel had just been sighted at Paxton.
"As you can imagine, we are ecstatic. I tell people, if you do the right things, and wait long enough, reds will come back. But there has to have been a previous history of reds living there."
Elizabeth's love for squirrels began when one ate the seed she left out for birds in her Lake District garden. Rather than be annoyed, Elizabeth was struck by the vulnerability of her visitor.
Soon she was helping make local roads and quarries squirrel-safe, and when she moved to Berwick she joined the Northumberland Wildlife Trust. From there, she went on to work for Berwick Save Our Squirrels (SOS), a voluntary organisation that recently developed another branch in Wooler.
Lead volunteer Elizabeth prides herself on her team working on both sides of the border, the only such group to do so.
There are around 138,000 red squirrels in the UK, down from an estimated high of almost 3.5 million. The conifer forests of Northumberland are an ideal habitat for the reds, and Kielder Forest holds roughly 60 per cent of the UK population.
It wasn't always such a smooth operation, though. In the early days, Elizabeth and her colleagues attempted a survey of Kyloe Woods, a habitat they knew sustained a sizeable red population. But they hadn't counted on the trees.
"We were trying to log these tree types, and of course Kyloe is famous for importing the leylandii. There we were with our little 'Book of British Trees' looking around at these hundreds of foreign varieties, thinking, 'What?'"
Fast forward to this month, and over 110 volunteers are gearing up for a red squirrel census across the North of England. The 'Red Army' as they are known will visit woodlands across Northumberland recording red squirrel numbers in the largest conservation project of its kind in the country.Elizabeth recruited and trained many of the volunteers.
Woodland areas ranging south from Berwick to Wylam, as well as pockets around Morpeth and Rothbury, will all be explored.
The volunteers, working under the supervision of Red Squirrels Northern England (RSNE), will be using various methods to get an idea of numbers. Some will be walking the woods and spotting squirrels as they go, while others are installing cameras to catch the animals unawares.
There are also sticky pads being set up, which catch stray hairs from passing squirrels. The hairs can be checked later to determine which species have been present.
Elizabeth herself can tell reds from greys just by looking at a single hair.
The data will be published in June, and will hopefully be the first of many such programmes that can map any changes in red and grey squirrel populations.
The various groups and organisations springing up to defend it are testament to the appeal of the red squirrel, and it is this co-operation Elizabeth has been recognised for.
She has been key in bringing people from various backgrounds together in support of the red squirrel.
Landowners from both sides of the border, ghillies, gardeners and gamekeepers have all contributed time and expertise to the project. But Elizabeth stresses that anybody interested can take responsibility for ensuring an animal survives.
"It doesn't matter if you're running around 24/7 in the woods or if you just report a sighting of a squirrel," she said.
"In fact, that can be the most effective way the public can get involved.
"With public sightings, we can track movements of red and grey squirrels across the Border area. The more information we have, the better work we can do."

Adventures on the Lost Coast
Severia di Alise
Biography – Prequel
Severia was born in the Duchy of Llael. Her parents, two half-elves named Pro'Methias and Madel'Aine, made her a strange mix; a second-generation pure half-elf. Severia knew little of her lineage, except one of her grandmothers was a human warrior from a far distant land, highly skilled with a curved sword who captained a strange flying ship called a Windjammer. Her father Pro'Methias often spoke of Severia's grandmother as being the living embodiment of a crane.
Her parents were part of an emerging middle class. Her mother, a devotee of Desna, was a simple shop keeper. It was her father that stood out Llael. Years ago he had witnessed a strange science, almost magic like, the new growing technology of firearms. He had pursued this in a scientific manner, supported by Duke Orric, though not with kindness. Pro'Methias was under the patronage of the Duke, researching and seeking to perfect this new technology at the Duke's pleasure. As such, Severia grew up in a strange mix of rural village life but also in a laboratory environment. Being half elf, her hair always grew back over time with each accident in her father's lab.
She spent her youth learning with her father, first in a child-like capacity, but as she started to become a teenager, with a genuine interest. She would assist her father with the alchemical process necessary to create the volatile black powder, do wood work and metal forging to craft these strange devices. When her father finally realized that she had learned as much as she had despite his intent her taught her how to handle the prototype pistol he was creating. Her mother disapproved, but Severia was certainly Daddy's little girl.
While Pro'Methias was the stronger influence on Severia's upbringing, Madel'Aine influenced her through a strength of character. Severia did believe in the stars and when she became aware enough of herself, she became a follower of Desna like her mother.
Apart from her family, she had a few friends, but Edmund was her closest. A human boy, they would play with wooden swords in the fields, and it wasn't long before Severia's folks started to consider an explosive problem of a different kind. Life for Severia was looking up.
This was not to be a happy beginning. At a young age Severia started to complain of seeing "things" she could not explain, and her folks initially did not believe in Severia's ramblings. However, the local Desnan priest did warn Severia's parents that spectres had more than a passing interest in their daughter, and she was more aware than others of their presence. Her father, though not a magical luddite, discounted this. Only Madel'Aine took the warning seriously and tried to pass on a motherly warning to her daughter and stay true to her beliefs. Ill omens proceeded to follow, however Severia sought to bury herself in working with her father.
Duke Orric, while being the patron for Severia's family, was enmeshed in the various struggles that wagged across the lands. His patronage of the family was viewed with contempt in court, and he himself ridiculed Pro'Methias' work behind his back. It was more that he had a pet brainiac in his court as a means to impress other nobles. Severia's father always suspected this, but never knew the truth until the disastrous field test.
The Duke and his court summoned Severia's whole family to display his works. Pro'Methias felt his creation was ready to be shown and presented to his patron. Severia witnessed something unbelievable; a spirit actually prevented the pistol from firing. Despite even stripping and reassembling the pistol, Pro'Methias could not get a spark, let alone a fizzle. The Duke, finally having lost his humour, locked Severia's mother in the castle as a hostage, with the warning to make his investment work or else.
Within a week, Severia's life turned upside down. The night after her family was split apart, she started to receive horrible nightmares. Over a week's duration, as melancholy and depression took over her house, the dreams became worse until she was bombarded nightly with visions of a fiery world, wrought with death and destruction. Then, on the seventh night, the nightmares became vivid enough to make her realize that Varisia was a cause of this, starting at the nearby town of Sandtail.
That night, the troops of Duchess Lilith from the neighbouring Ymperia, launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Woken rudely through the dream above, Severia found the Duchess' troops routing Orric's mercenaries ahead of her village. Fleeing, Orric's mercenaries passed by Severia's family house with word that Orric's hold had been set ablaze and everyone within put to the sword. There were no survivors.
Pro'Methias, stricken with grief, sought to confront these attackers barehanded but was killed when the attackers reached her house. Severia and her friend Edmund raced back to the family workshop to gather what goods she could, along with the troubled pistol. The two of them had almost gotten away when the Duchess' infantry found them. Edmund, charged with heroic ideas of defending the girl he thought he cared for, ran forwards to save Severia. She ran as fast as she could, but was able to see the moment the attackers tired of Edmund's poor sword skills and cut him down ruthlessly.
Since that night, Severia had been on the run. Spending almost five days in the woods, she barely survived before exiting the forest. She found her way to a neighbouring village untouched by the attack. Selling some of her father's less important possessions, she bought some basic equipment including a sword, and after some nightmare fuelled sleep and food at a local inn, she proceeded to follow her only lead; the dream warning originating in Sandtail.
Her adventures truly begin here.

I understand that the Senate rules allows a Senator to speak for as long as they can and that it takes 3/5 of the members to close the filibuster. I guess what wasn't clear is that just the threat of filibuster is good enough to keep an item off the floor for discussion. This is as so not to impede the other flow of Senatorial business. In regard to the Health Care Reform debate, why not let the Republicans actually filibuster? Let them impede the flow of other Senatorial business. It will help keep the issue at the forefront of the news cycle and may actually cause the press to better present the issues being discussed. Not likely, but possible.
And if they want to keep the filibuster running all summer up to the mid-term elections, so much the better. After all that time I would hope the electorate would have a better realization of what they are voting into office.
I even have a Campaign Slogan < Just Say No! – Vote Republican >
I would also suggest that the Democrats put together the best health care package they can that will get 51 votes in the Senate and not worry about currying favor with the Democratic outliers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) -- Two men from Henderson County have been arrested in connection to the Holly Bobo case, NewsChannel 5 confirmed on Tuesday.
Court documents obtained by NewsChannel 5 from Henderson County showed that on May 29, Jeffrey Kurt Pearcy was arrested and charged with Tampering with Evidence and Accessory After the Fact.
The affidavit said that Jeffrey Pearcy has a video on an electronic device, "that will prove to be beneficial in the prosecution of a current on-going investigation being conducted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation."
On Tuesday his attorney, Olin Baker, confirmed the arrests are connected to the kidnapping and murder investigation of nursing student Holly Bobo. He said the charges are related to the possible existence of a video which shows Holly after she was taken from her home in Decatur County three years ago.
"They're saying there's either a recording or audio or something on an electronic device that relates to the Holly Bobo case," Baker told NewsChannel 5 on Tuesday.

Our Lady of Peace, Please Pray for Us
Lately, I feel like I'm living in Middle Earth; J.R.R. Tolkien's mythical world where death and destruction abound. For anyone who has read Tolkien's trilogy (The Hobbit, The Twin Towers, and The Return of the King), or at the very least watched Peter Jackson's film adaptations, you can appreciate this reference. Our world today appears to be a bastion of Gollums and Sarumons and Ocres…..oh, my! All motivated by the Dark Lord and Necromancer, Sauron. Meanwhile, the age of man is in desperate need of an emancipator.
Although countless analogies have been drawn between Tolkien's work and the Catholic Church, or Christianity in general (e.g., Dr. Peter Kreeft), much of what Tolkien found distressing in his world in 1930 is still just as relevant today. In fact, Tolkien's theme of moral authority in his books was inspired by his service in the British army during WWI. (1914 – 1918) He witnessed lethal chemical weapons used in that war, killing many of his friends and comrades.
To date, the turmoil in Syria has heightened the world's anxiety. All eyes are on United States' President, Barack Obama, as he champions support for a military strike against the Syrian government as justifiable punishment for Syria's use of chemical weapons in their civil war. Although hard evidence has not be verified, Obama feels it is the duty of the American government, or the United Nations, to hold Syria accountable for presumably violating the chemical weapons ban. The 1929 Geneva protocol first prohibited the use of poisonous gas as a weapon of war. Then in 1993 the Chemical Weapons Convention went a little further and outlawed the production, stockpile, transfer, and use of chemical weapons. Countries that ratified the treaty pledged to destroy their existing stockpiles. Not surprising, not every country signed that treaty including North Korea, Egypt, Angola and…yes, you guessed it…Syria.
Aside from any obvious, or ulterior, motives for launching a military strike against Syria, military action should never be a knee-jerk response, or entered into without prayerful guidance. If military action were the preferred choice of God, He never would have armed Moses with nothing more than a big stick and sent him back into Egypt to free the Jews. Instead, God would have instructed Moses to amass an army and return in revengeful fury. Based upon good counsel with his Heavenly Father, and armed with the power of God, Moses walked back into Egypt and simply negotiated the Jews' release. Of course, he had a little Divine assistance.
Don't we possess that same Divine assistance today….if we will only seek His counsel?
Every good leader who has been genuinely concerned for the welfare of mankind has sought good counsel before taking action. Consider Abraham Lincoln. Now there's an American President that was not ashamed to profess that he sought God's counsel before every decision he made. Humanity can only hope that President Obama, and other nations' leaders, are seeking the same resolution before acting. In reference to Tolkien, personally, I hope and pray that Obama doesn't have a Wormtongue whispering in his ear, manipulating the outcome for the destruction of mankind.
In an effort to offer President Obama good counsel, the Syrian-born leader of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Patriarch Gregorios III Laham, has called on the United States, and other countries, to avoid military action. In an interview with the Catholic New Agency, the Patriarch said, "The tragic situation that Syria has been experiencing for the last two and a half years is the strongest evidence of the primary importance of seeking the earliest possible peaceful, diplomatic resolution of the crisis." He further emphasized that global involvement has only caused the conflict to escalate.
Likewise, Pope Francis has asked the leaders of all nations to embrace efforts for peace first and foremost. In response to the world's distress in this matter, Pope Francis has called for a Day of Fasting and Prayer for Peace in Syria, the Middle East and the world on September 7, 2013, the vigil of the birth of Mary, Queen of Peace. Pope Francis reiterated in this request, …"peace is a precious gift, which must be promoted and protected"….."all men and women of good will are bound by the task of pursuing peace."
Could our Blessed Mother, Mary, the Queen of Peace, truly aid us in this time of need?
It is interesting to note that while J.R.R. Tolkien was serving in the Great War, half way around the world in a little village in Fatima, Portugal, three children were communing with the Queen of Peace that Pope Francis asks us to seek now.
On May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared to three children in a place called Cova da Iria. It was noon, and Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco were shepherding their sheep. Suddenly lightening flashed across the sky, so the children ran for cover thinking it was going to rain. In their haste, they stopped and saw a beautiful lady made of light hovering above an oak tree, holding a rosary in her hands. She asked the children to pray and make sacrifices for sinners. Our Lady asked them to come to the same place and meet with her on the thirteenth day of the next five consecutive months, which they did. While these precious children prayed the rosary every day and met with Our Lady once a month, the world around them was in chaos. Our Lady told the children that WWI would end (1918), but "if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI." Obviously, mankind didn't pray hard enough, because the second world war broke out just as Our Lady proclaimed. This was only the first of many messages that Our Lady would deliver to the children; messages that would eventual hold true. (TimeLine)
It has always appealed to me that in Tolkien's novels it is merely an unassuming hobbit that is able to reverse the fate of man. In our world, God has always chosen the humblest among us as our guides. Throughout history, it is the selfless, the often uneducated that God solicits through Our Lady of Peace. The messages they deliver to us, through God, clearly shows us a more Divine path to peace in this world; Marie Bernarde Soubirous (St. Bernadette), Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta), Zoe Labouré (St. Catherine Labouré) the three children of Fatima (Lucia, Jancita and Francisco).
Like all the conflicts that preceded us, humanity now stands upon a threshold. Which direction will we choose in this dilemma? If the first and only response that our leaders will embrace is military action, such recourse will surely ignite a deadly war that will draw more conflict beyond Syria's borders.
Meanwhile, Pope Francis recognizes and reminds us that Our Lady is waiting patiently to help us, if only we will seek her intervention. Her prayers before the Father on behalf of humanity and our world have always been good and fruitful counsel. Our prayers to Our Heavenly Father through His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, have always been heard. He wants to see peace on earth. But we have to be willing to ask for His help, for His forgiveness, and His mercy.
"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and He brought them to their desired haven." – Psalm 107:28-30
Our Lady of Peace, please pray for us. Amen.

Now only two months later we are watching the continuing crisis at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant unfold and I thought it would be a good idea to pay the subject of nuclear power safety another visit to see if your opinions have changed.
(Interesting note) According to this post four nuclear power plants that are currently in operation in Illinois are same Mark I design as the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactor that is currently on the brink of meltdown.
Do You Think Nuclear Power Reactors Are Safe

Arrangement and Rhetoric
Christopher Craig

DOI: 10.1111/b.9781405131995.2008.x
The category of arrangement (Greek oikonomia , taxis ; Latin dispositio ) in classical rhetoric includes both the "natural" ordering of the parts of a speech and the changing or truncating of that order to adapt to specific circumstances. While it may also embrace the ordering of premises in arguments, those concerns are fully treated under invention rather than arrangement. Similarly, the most basic level of arrangement, that of individual words and clauses, is properly subsumed under style (→ Rhetoric, Greek ; Rhetoric, Roman ; Style and Rhetoric ). The canonical division of the parts of a speech derives from judicial rather than from deliberative or epideictic oratory. There are four essential parts . The introduction ( prooimion , exordium ) renders the audience well disposed, attentive, and receptive; the narration ( diegesis, narratio ) is brief, clear, and probable; the proof ( pistis, argumentatio ) is convincing; the conclusion ( epilogos, peroratio ) both summarizes and appeals to the → emotions . Some writers add one or more other parts: after the narration, a proposition stating what is to be proven; a partition enumerating the different arguments to be advanced (common); a refutation, separated as a free-standing section following the proof (very common); and a digression immediately before the conclusion. Adaptive or "artistic" arrangement omits or transposes ... log in or subscribe to read full text

text: Idiot's guide to Steelhead on the Methow I present two methods which enabled me to hook-up with two good steelies on the Methow. Method #1. "Almost there, almost there," I said under my breath as I got about 2/3rds of the way across the Methow. I was trying to cross upstream of a pool so that I could fish its tailout from the deeper side. Even though the water was both faster and deeper than it looked, I couldn't bring myself to turn around and walk to the bridge, that would take all of 5 minutes! With about 15 feet to go, I lunged out into the deepest part of the river. The point of no return had been crossed. Immediately a branch came out of nowhere and caught my boot but I found I could still move by dragging my leg behind me. The current was pushing me toward the pool and I redoubled my efforts to drag myself and the branch across. My arms were flailing around like a little girl running. Somehow the river got even DEEPER and I was about to yell out when the branch feel free and suddenly I was at the far side. Whew! This is when I noticed that something was pulling on my line, which had been dragging through the water about 30 feet downstream of me. I put tension on the rod and was rewarded with a huge splash. I had a steelhead on!!! I yelled out to my buddy Brent, who was fishing downstream and he looked up in time to see the fish splash again. The fish seemed to get its wits about it and began to swim slowly but determinedly upstream toward me as if to kick my ass. As he passed me I tried to pull on the line (I don't really know what to do in these situations). The fish would not budge -- he must have been HUGE. All of a sudden he did a crazy ivan, rising to the surface, flipping out his tail and then diving back into the current. My green butt skunk came flying back at me. Fish gone. So if you haven't tried limping across a fast, deep water and flailing your arms around like an idiot... well, apparently it works. Method #2. Downsteam two pools later, I approached the tailout in a much more stealthy fashion. I had swapped my green butt skunk and sinktip for a full floating line and size 6 October Caddis. I cast to the far side of the tailout and skated the fly about halfway across it. A dark brown shape flipped up to grab the fly with a meaty splash. Fish on!!! Again, the fish settled down and slowly came toward me. This was shallower water and a smaller fish -- perhaps 25". The fact that he was on my line added to his awesome beauty. He looked just like a giant trout! Bright red color with a silverly strip down each side. Big eyes and a triangular face. He pulled away from me and my caddis came flying back to me with its hook bent open. Doh. Well there you go. I have yet to actually land a steelhead on my 8wt but that day I got three chances and blew them all (the third fish broke off my tippet).

The workshop includes the practices of conservation and restoration of frescoes and paintings on canvas. The session begins with an introduction, practical hands-on experience, excursions, and lectures. After introductions which are common to all areas, participants may choose a specific area of focus.
Fornello Cave Project
Fornello is a site made up of a Byzantine fresco cave, twelve additional cave dwellings, and evidence of a settlement dating back to the third century B.C. The ancient settlement includes a shepherd's house that dates to the 1700s and dry-stone courtyards that outline a pre-existing sheep farm
Culinary & Shepherding
Explore the food culture shaped by millennia of migrations on the paths of transhumance.
The venerated cuisine of the Mediterranean has been created and re-created through the course of history by geography, social customs, migration and the mythical universe wrapped around 'eating'. The food culture is inclusive of 'life style' which upholds traditional methods of farming and fishing and nurtures the practice of family meals, and social festivities.
Motalbano Road Trip
Cultural trip workshop to discover the Southern Italy unfolded.
Food, arts, architecture, history, artists, and interesting people. Coast to coast between Puglia and Basilicata.
What Our Workshop Participants Say
Read more of our testimonials.
I loved everything! There was a wide variety of classes, and the masseria was amazing. I got to feel and the see the traditional way of life here. I left understanding how clay and lime works, complementing my studies in architectural restoration towards attaining my degree in architecture.
The workshops offer a unique opportunity to experience the many facets of Puglia in a very personal way. Each day offers a different aspect of the significant history: frescoes in caves, historic churches, amazing cities and villages, vast farmlands, crusty breads, fresh produce, the enticing aroma of brewing espresso and even a broad field with dinosaur tracks. I return year after year to enjoy the variety of the land and its people.
One of the best things I have ever done! 100% cultural involvement.
I had three amazing weeks in beautiful Altamura, Southern Italy.It was such an inspiring workshop, learning about the Italian culture and heritage through restoration, practical lessons and exciting field trips. To be surrounded by the warm and welcoming environment at the Masseria Le Selva and all the beautiful food they made for us got me even closer to the Italian culture.As a conservation student, the workshop and everything I learned there, it is an experience that I will take with me in my future work and for the rest of my life.
I came all the way from Rio to Altamura to pursue my interest in conservation as I was enchanted by the descriptions and pictures on the Messors' website. It exceeded all my expectation: great people, great places, great food, great memories. I learned the practice of conservation and helped restore local treasures to bring them back to life. What more could I ask for? One of the best summers and I'll take it forever with me.

By Robert Annis and Mary Beth Schneider, INDYSTAR.COM
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. -- Almost as soon as he was indicted on seven felony charges Thursday afternoon, pressure began mounting for Secretary of State Charlie White to step aside, with people in both parties -- including Gov. Mitch Daniels -- saying it's wrong for Indiana's top elections official to serve under the cloud of alleged voter fraud, theft and perjury.
White's immediate reaction: No.
"I believe the evidence will prove that I did not intentionally break any laws. But more importantly, I will continue to do the job I was elected to do," he said in a statement issued shortly after he was booked at the Hamilton County Jail.
A Hamilton County grand jury indicted White on three counts of voter fraud alleging he lied about his address when he voted in last year's Republican primary. He also faces charges of perjury and fraud on a financial institution -- again, for allegedly lying about his address -- as well as theft for continuing to collect his salary as a Fishers Town Council member after moving from his designated district.
White has explained his actions as mistakes made in the heat of his 2010 campaign for secretary of state.
Dan Sigler, one of two special prosecutors chosen because of White's political affiliations in Hamilton County, countered that White willfully deceived voters and the town of Fishers.
"The grand jury indicted him not because of an honest mistake, but for a willful violation of the law," Sigler said. "He did it to hold on to his council seat.
"I don't think the grand jury indicted him to make an example of him. Whether you're a state official (or a common citizen), we're all held to the same standards. Everyone's treated the same."
Only a felony conviction would require White to lose his elected position -- and it doesn't appear there is anything the governor, the legislature, the party or the voters can do to strip him of the office in the meantime.
Still, White faced plenty of pressure Thursday to resign or temporarily step aside.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, Daniels said the "only course of honor" is for White to step aside, at least until a verdict is reached. And, he added in his statement, every other statewide officeholder -- all, like White, Republicans -- agreed.
"It would be neither credible nor appropriate," Daniels said, "for the state's top elections official to continue to perform his duties while contesting criminal charges, some of them under the very laws the secretary of state implements."
The whole sorry spectacle was one that Daniels had tried to avoid.
Democrats raised the issue in the campaign, but White won easily over Democrat Vop Osili and Libertarian Mike Wherry.
Sources confirmed to The Indianapolis Star that in December, Daniels urged White not to take office as secretary of state until these charges could be resolved. White refused.
Instead, White was sworn in with the other officeholders in a Statehouse inauguration Jan. 6, insisting to reporters that "I did not commit voter fraud."

In one bite you taste a garden. Minty fresh coriander, crunchy pickled carrots, a load of soft white pickled onion, but most special of all is the aromatic burnt lemongrass. It makes the charcoaled pork here extra flavorful just as crushed peanuts make Huong Lan's texturally delish. Microwaved, the pickled sweet onion and meat grease make the bread somewhat like a slice of steamed baguette dressed with chives and lard (bánh mì hấp mỡ hành). Thumbs up.

In the historic run up to the election of Argentinean Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergolio as pope, Church historian Christopher Bellitto spoke almost nonstop with national and international media organizations as they explored the possibilities and probabilities for the successor to St. Peter's throne.
But, as he said during a recent talk at Georgian Court, the selection of the first Jesuit, the first Pope Francis, and first pope from the new world, surprised him and millions of others.
Dr. Bellitto, a frequent contributor to CNN and other outlets, spoke to a GCU audience of 130 students, faculty, staff, and members of the community during the university's March 11 discussion of Pope Francis' first year.
The Catholicism expert took listeners back in time to what would turn out to be the night of Francis's election. Dr. Bellitto said he was determinedly preparing what is known as "b copy" —or background content—when his wife called and told him to stop writing and wait to see whom the cardinals had elected.
And, he acknowledged, the appearance of Francis on the balcony was, as it turns out, not only surprising but transformative.

Soccer fans will be able to watch the England national team's next World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine live on newspapers' Web sites on a pay-per-view basis. This is the first time newspapers in the U.K.--which have been struggling with a steep fall in ad revenue--are tapping into a 26.6 billion-pound industry with the potential to reach up to 20 million Internet users.
"This deal is fairly unique," said Marie Bloomfield, a broadband media analyst at Screen Digest in London. She said newspaper sites are established destinations for online sports video, but generally only for shorter clips, which are typically available for free and funded by traditional advertising. This, however, involves live, long-form content, on a paid basis."
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for newspapers to compete with TV operators, as securing the rights to broadcast live games costs up to 1.7 billion pounds ($2.8 billion) for a season. But Kentaro, the company that owns the rights for the England-Ukraine match, was unable to secure a deal with a TV operator after the previous owner of the rights, pay-TV broadcaster Setanta, went into administration in June. (See "Bittersweet Advantage For BSkyB.")
Broadcasters in the U.K. had expressed some interest in the match, but even the BBC withdrew its bid after England secured its place in next year's World Cup when it beat Croatia last week, the British press reported, citing sources close to the negotiations.
Kentaro held talks with the major national newspapers in Britain--excluding the Financial Times--to sell the rights for the live coverage, the Guardian newspaper reported. Under the rights agreement, newspaper Web sites will not pay Kentaro to stream the live coverage, but will receive part of the sales to viewers.
But the deal shouldnt be seen as the newspapers new revenue stream; they wont be in the broadcast business anytime soon.
"This should be considered a one-off, as live rights to premium sports content are usually the reserve of major platform operators and broadcasters, said Bloomfield, as they are able to pay big sums to secure them, often on an exclusive basis.

Spirits of the Titanic by Sophie Shapiro
The RMS Titanic Centenary Project
My name is Sophie Shapiro. I am a Spirit Artist (more about me). It takes time to discover a process of communication, but the Spirits made themselves known and this project began.
On October 31st 2008 I made a decision to dedicate a painting to every person and animal that died in the sinking of RMS Titanic April, 15th 1912. This resulted in a great deal of research and becoming acquainted with many interesting people, who have supported my endeavours. I then realised that people had died during the building of this magnificent ship and decided to add them to my list. In total I painted 1,600 paintings. On March 4th 2011, I completed this task. I share some of the paintings with you. Musical videos dedicated to all those who perished on The Titanic, 98th Anniversary, 99th Anniversary and Centenary of the Sinking, are available on my site.
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this project as I would not have completed this task without your support and love.

Two arrested as gardai discover €250,000 worth of cannabis in house
GARDAI have seized cannabis worth €250,000 and arrested two people after a raid on a house in Waterford.
A 55-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man are being detained at Dungarvan Garda Station after 110 cannabis plants were found at the home in Kilnafrehan East, Dungarvan, yesterday.
The pair are being held under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996 as amended.
Gardai say such operations use advanced analytical and intelligence methods to disrupt criminals and dismantle their networks.

What details suggest the dehumanizing effects of Dr. Manette's captivity?A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- print Print
- list Cite
As a result of his fourteen years in captivity, Dr. Manette has, indeed, aged. In addition, he has also developed a certain disorientation with time and circumstance. For instance, when Mr. Lorry and Lucie Manette arrive, he does not comprehend that he "has a visitor." He looks up momentarily, then resumes his habitual action of shoemaking. Dickens writes,
The task of recalling him from the vacancy into which he always sank when he had spoken, was like recalling some very weak person from a swoon, or endeavouring, in the hope of some disclosure, to stay the spirit of a fast-dying man.
When Manette does commit some action, in the "midst of the action he went astray." His mind wanders into the vacancy in which it has been kept so long. After he is brought back to London and lives with his loving daughter, Charles Darnay wishes to ask permission to marry Lucie. In an attempt to be forthright Darnay begins to reveal his true identity, but Manette stays him, telling Darnay to reveal his secret on the wedding day. When Darnay does so, poor Dr. Manette pulls out the shoemaking tools and recommences his habitual task. As he does so, he again becomes disorientated, losing a sense of time:
He had laid aside his coat and wastcoat; his shirt was open at the throat...and even the old haggard, faded surface of face had come back to him.
When Mr. Lorry tries to pull him back to reality, asking him to look at him, Manette does so, but
in the old mechanically submissive manner, without pausing in his work.
Manette continues working on the shoe that, he says, "ought to have been finished long ago." Even later in the narrative, when Manette gets better and bravely travels to London to plea on behalf of his son-in-law, Charles Evremonde, he does not grasp the true nature of the situation in Paris. Truly, Dr. Manette's experience of being imprisoned for fourteen years has left its mark upon him in A Tale of Two Cities.
I can't tell where you are in your reading of A Tale of Two Cities, but if you've met Dr. Manette you already know he's a man in deep distress when Lucie and Jarvis see him for the first time above the Defarges' wine shop. Physically, his hair has gone white and he looks much older than he is. It's the emotional and psychological effects of his time in prison which are much more disturbing and dramatic, though, and we get his story in bits and pieces throughout the novel.
When he is in his "prisoner" mode, he doesn't make eye contact with anyone in the room; he keeps repeating a number which seems to be an address--one hundred five North Tower. He doesn't recognizeanyone else in the room (which is understandable at first, since he didn't ever know he had a daughter and hadn't seen Jarvis for years). All of these are pictures of a man who is broken and somehow humiliated or broken. Most importantly, though, during these episodes he reverts to the pastime he had while in prison--making shoes.
"Making shoes" comes to be akind of code word for what happens when Dr. Manette has reverted to his prison days. We learn he asked for something to do to pass his time in prison so he would not go crazy. The physician became a shoe-maker to keep his sanity. He keeps his head down, he doesn't appear to recognize anyone around him, he is unaware of his surroundings, and he works non-stop at the business of making shoes. It is intricate work, and he uses it to keep his mind occupied and off whatever troubles are worrying him.
When Dr. Manette reverts to his shoe-making ways, it is because something has caused him emotional distress--even the good kind, such as his daughter's wedding.
In Ch.5 of Book I Defarge leads Mr.Jarvis Lorry to Dr. Manette's room upstairs in a rundown house in a seedy locality in Paris. As they draw near the room Defarge, to Lorry's surprise, draws out a key and Lorry asks,
"The door is locked then, my friend?" said Mr. Lorry, surprised.
"Ay. Yes," was the grim reply of Monsieur Defarge.
"You think it necessary to keep the unfortunate gentleman so retired?"
"I think it necessary to turn the key." Monsieur Defarge whispered it closer in his ear, and frowned heavily.
"Why! Because he has lived so long, locked up, that he would be frightened- rave- tear himself to pieces- die- come to I know not what harm- if his door was left open."
"Is it possible!" exclaimed Mr. Lorry.
"Is it possible!" repeated Defarge, bitterly.
This clearly prepares the readers as to what to expect as soon as they see Dr.Manette for the first time in the next chapter, aptly entitled: "The Shoemaker."
Dickens conveys to his readers the extent to which Dr. Manette has been dehmuanized not so much by the physical description but by the description of the feebleness of his voice:
The faintness of the voice was pitiable and dreadful. It was not the faintness of physical weakness, though confinement and hard fare no doubt had their part in it. Its deplorable peculiarity was, that it was the faintness of solitude and disuse. It was like the last feeble echo of a sound made long and long ago. So entirely had it lost the life and resonance of the human voice, that it affected the senses like a once beautiful colour faded away into a poor weak stain. So sunken and suppressed it was, that it was like a voice underground. So expressive it was, of a hopeless and lost creature, that a famished traveller, wearied out by lonely wandering in a wilderness, would have remembered home and friends in such a tone before lying down to die.

An Alexandria man accused of plotting to carry out a suicide bomb at the U.S. Capitol is scheduled to appear in court Friday afternoon for a plea hearing, according to court records.
Amine El Khalifi, 30, of Alexandria, was arrested in February in an FBI sting operation, authorities said.
Khalifi was arrested a few blocks from the Capitol, carrying what he thought was a loaded automatic weapon and a vest ready to be detonated, authorities have said. Authorities said Khalifi thought the gun and vest were from al-Qaeda, but they were actually provided by undercover FBI operatives who had rendered them inoperable.
Khalifi was charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against federal property.
Khalifi, who is from Morocco, came to the United States when he was 16-years-old and lived in Northern Virginia, officials said.
It was not clear at the time of his arrest how Khalifi came to the attention of federal authorities. Authorities said in court papers that Khalifi "sought to be associated with an armed extremist group."

If you are in question of how you can start your new transformation, I have found two ways proven to work.
1.) Change your dress, clothing, apparel. Find a style that fits and define your new idea of what you represent. Clothing has a tremendous amount of influence upon our thoughts and actions. It represents our inter-most being and what we think of ourself.
2.) Change your environment. Travel! Travel, is as simple as taking a different route to school, work, or shopping. Look up, down, and around, charging yourself to view things differently with a new idea, question, and perspective.
Folks these two things we have control of, with no money down. They are powerful tools to aid us in the frame work of building better you, a better us. We must create an environment of growth and prosperity with GOD at the helm. So as we nurture our new beginnings grab a cause too… Live, Love, Serve!
– K. Littlejohn

That's cool Ashley! I tried learning sign language a couple years ago. I studied it for months. And there was a deaf guy that went to my church and I thought it would be cool to have a conversation with him. But I moved before I learned enough to actually carry on a conversation, and then I just gave it up because I got bored of it. ;) And right now the only thing I remember is the alphabet and "yes" and "no." lol

I have used it along with other things to help the kids understand how to study and learn about the bible. Most of the kids in my tween/teen class do not even know how to use the bible at all. When I first started teaching them I would ask them to turn to Mark 2:12 of the bible and they would ask me what page is that on? So you can see I really had to teach them from the very beginning.

Baltimore Yearly Meeting
What is a Yearly Meeting?In many ways a Yearly Meeting is the central organizing unit of the Religious Society of Friends. No larger Quaker body has authority over the Yearly Meeting. Books of discipline, defining the faith and practice of Friends, are developed and approved at the Yearly Meeting level. It is the Yearly Meeting that knits local Meetings into the Religious Society of Friends; recognition by a Yearly Meeting distinguishes a Quaker Monthly Meeting from a non-denominational worship group. Friends ask for membership at the local level, and may not realize that they are also joining a Yearly Meeting, but their Yearly Meeting membership is what makes them part of the Quaker movement.
Like a Monthly Meeting, the Yearly Meeting exists to build community, to support the life of the spirit, to discern right action, and to bear witness in the world. Like a Monthly Meeting, it carries out these responsibilities through shared worship, regular Meetings with a Concern for Business, ongoing committee work, and sponsored projects. A Yearly Meeting, in other words, can best be understood as an ordinary Friends Meeting, but on a much larger scale.
The search for unity among Friends, grounded in worship, is at the heart of Baltimore Yearly Meeting's mission. In strong local Meetings, Friends learn to listen deeply to each other, to care for one another, to engage with each other, and not to walk away when things get hard. At the Yearly Meeting level, Friends have a chance to practice the same Quaker ways. What binds us together as Friends is the belief that we can find unity, if we dig deeply enough. All it takes is an attitude of patience, openness, humility and love, with creativity and a sense of humor thrown in for good measure. Baltimore Yearly Meeting challenges us to expand our understanding of what it means to be a Quaker and part of a Quaker community. In fellowship, in deep listening, in waiting worship, in commitment to each other, it richly rewards those who embrace the challenge of being a Yearly Meeting Friend.
Baltimore Yearly Meeting is a regional Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends that has existed for more than 300 years. Geographically, it includes most of Virginia, the portion of Maryland west of the Chesapeake Bay, the District of Columbia, central Pennsylvania, and eastern West Virginia. It has about 4,740 members - Friends of all ages - organized into over 40 established Monthly Meetings plus several Preparative Meetings and Worship Groups. Like any Friends Meeting, Baltimore Yearly Meeting comes together for gathered worship and corporate discernment, seeking to know God's will.
