Slingbox Mobile: Coming soon for Android
March 18, 2010 | by Robert Nelson
Android Apps, Multimedia
We have seen bits and pieces about Sling Media getting ready to release an Android app, and the good news here is that launch seems to be getting a little closer to reality. Well, closer to reality based on in the past we heard rumors and now we have a mention on the Sling Media website. Sadly the mention is just a place where you can add your email to be notified when the app comes available.
"Be one of the first to know when SlingPlayer Mobile for Android becomes available in the US. Submit your email address below and we'll keep you posted."
Its a small step, but a nice one nonetheless. And just like a release date, the pricing for the app is still unannounced. Though, it is likely to follow suit with the other mobile platforms. In other words I would expect the Android app to come at $29.99.
Then once available, having the Android app combined with your Slingbox at home will let you watch live television as well as your DVR'd content from just about anywhere that you may be.
[UPDATE] It looks like a release timeframe has been narrowed down just a little, a release is expected "this summer."

The level of comfort I think is directly related to ones perception's and/or understanding of the death of a loved one and its relationship to life here on earth. I personally look at it as the door to the resurrection and eternal life with the Father and continuation of family relationships. I am sad because I will miss them but happy for them […] View

Soderblom July 31, 1997 Abstract This ISR describes a redetermination of the GHRS sensitivity functions for the Echelle-A and G140M gratings. Changes amount to ~20% for Echelle-A over the entire range of wavelengths, compared to the previous values. G140M also deviates slightly from the reference spectrum and requires a linear correction with wavelength, amounting to ~2% at 1100A and 8% at 1600A. The procedures used to derive the corrected sensitivity func tions are described here, and new files have been installed in the CDBS.

Eclectic Swedish apartment
In keeping with the Swedish theme, Jeanette of Stockholm sent us this link to a funky Swedish apartment that is decorated dare I saw in atypical Swedish fashion. This one runs quite a bit more eclectic featuring many vintage furnishings and knick knacks. LOVE the vibe the owners have going on here. Very cool.

Larry Waters & Roy Zuck eds., Why O God?: Suffering and Disability, in The Bible and The Church. Wheaton: Crossway, July, 2011. 336 pp. Paperback, $22.00.

Visit the publisher's page
Thanks to Crossway for the review copy!
This week in our reading group, we're covering the chapters in John Frame's Apologetics to the Glory of God about the problem of evil. After explaining the logical basis of the problem of evil, Frame switches to a pastoral tone and observes:
Such is the philosopher's way of looking at the problem. But the essence of it is a concern to non-philosophers as well. Who of us has not cried out, "Why, Lord?" when beset by the tragedy of our experience? We simply feel a terrible discrepancy between our experience and what we believe God to be.
Frame goes on to conclude, "That 'Why Lord?' says everything that the philosophical argument says and more," and that "this problem is perhaps the most serious and cogent objection to Christian theism."
I doubt many would disagree with Frame's sentiment. In that light, while not providing all the answers, Why, God? Suffering and Disability in the Bible and Church is certainly a great resource for those struggling with not only occasional "Why God?" moments but those living through "Why God?" lifestyles as well.
The book is a collection of essays edited by Larry J. Waters and Roy B. Zuck, the basis of which is a class that is offered at Dallas Seminary. While I didn't take the class while I was there, I know several of the contributors personally, having had them as professors in other classes, and in one case as a thesis adviser. Through reading this book, among other things, I discovered that the former admissions co-ordinator at the school, a man I never saw not smiling, spent his time off campus attentively caring for his wife who had been bed-ridden for numerous years with multiple sclerosis.
Personal revelations like this throughout the book help to add weight to the authors' insights, rather than just seeming like abstract speculations about how to deal with suffering. Starting in the opening chapter, Joni Eareckson Tada's really sets the tone when she says:
People's disabilities can be the best embodiment of these marvelous truths from God's Word. Disability ministry is a ministry of redemption. If the cross can be seen not as a symbol of torture but as a symbol of hope and life, then a wheelchair can be "redeemed" from a symbol of confinement to a representation of an intimate fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ (p. 20).
Much of what follows in Why O God? substantiates this statement, and the rest of the first part covers general information regarding the extent of disabilities within the church, and therefore the need for churches to have a disability ministry.
The second section of the book then turns to cover the biblical foundations for suffering and moves section by section through Scripture. Individual chapters cover suffering in the Pentateuch, the Historical Books, Job, Psalms and the rest of the Wisdom Literature, the Prophets, the Gospels, Acts and the Pauline epistles, the non-Pauline epistles, and finally the book of Revelation. By presenting the material this way, the reader is given a very robust biblical theology of suffering.
In the third section, the focus shifts toward more pastoral applications. The first essay I particularly enjoyed, possibly because it was by my thesis adviser, Dr. Doug Blount, or because it was a good philosophical treatment of the problem of evil with heavy reference to the book of Job. It is also incidentally, Dr. Blount's pocket chapel message, and I've heard him share it at least twice. The other two essays in this section are focused on how to pastorally care for those with disabilities and an eye opening global perspective on suffering and the Christian church. There could have been more material included in this section, and perhaps if there are future editions of this book, this would be the place to flesh further pastoral applications.
The final full section (the last section is a lone essay by Tada) goes into even more detail concerning counseling issues that arise in caring for those with disabilities. After an essay on ministering to adults with disabilities, there is a follow up tailored to caring for children, an exploration of some of the ethical issues related to caring for the suffering, and finally some insight into confronting death and dying and caring for those with lost loved ones. The book then comes to an end with the aforementioned essay by Tada.
Overall, this is a resource that belongs on every pastor's shelf, but is written in such a way that anyone dealing with disabilities or perpetually asking "Why God?" will find comfort through the sound biblical teaching. Because such a wide range of topics are covered, most people won't necessarily want to read it cover from cover. Everyone will definitely benefit from reading and absorbing the biblical theology of suffering that spans the entire second section of the book. In addition, those who are engaged in ministry (which is technically everybody, but I mean those in explicit pastoral ministry) will find the chapters on counseling especially helpful.
By putting this class together, Dallas Seminary filled a much needed gap in their curriculum by providing detailed biblical teaching and pastoral guidance for how to pastor people through suffering. By publishing this book through Crossway, much of that teaching is now available to the general public, and hopefully many of you will look into getting a copy of this book for yourself.

I learned something new. Scott was undefeated for 14 straight competitions for 3-4 years after winning his first national title. That is insane. Will that record ever be broken?
Since I didn't see a thread about this I decided to start one.
I caught this special totally by accident tonight. I mean I saw it advertised on BIO a couple of times this past month, but I wasn't planning on watching it, didn't mark my calendar or anything, nevertheless as fate would have it, there it was, lol.
Seriously, I'm glad I watched it, though I think I missed some of it. The parts I did see were inspiring, funny, and well worth watching.
I'm pretty familiar with Scott's story.....the illness as a young boy......being adopted, his skating, his skating successes, the Olympic Gold Medal, formation of SOI, wild life, commentating jobs, settling down as he got older, cancer, getting into God, marrying a beautiful nice Christian woman, having a child, getting sick again (this time a benign tumour in his brain), having another miracle baby, getting back on the ice again, etc. Yet seeing it first hand/right in front of me on the big screen made it brand new all over again. Different telling of the story, up-to-date one on one with Scott, his wife, his doctors, his friends, et al. It's like he's come full circle, which was more than evident when it was revealed that he most likely was born with the benign brain tumour, which stunted his growth and wasn't detected because more than likely his skating prevented its further growth. His "mysterious illness" was really in fact this benign brain tumour, whose symptoms disappeared as soon as Scott started skating, and reappeared as soon as he stopped skating after his retirement. He's back where he started, full circle.
I'm pretty sure Scott's special will appear again on BIO, you just need to check the times, it really is worth a watch, especially if you love skating!
I learned something new. Scott was undefeated for 14 straight competitions for 3-4 years after winning his first national title. That is insane. Will that record ever be broken?

I understand that it is the media's job to inform the public of news, crime, and entertainment. After reading last week's paper about the East Perry "problems," it struck me and other residents on this street as an offensive and degrading statement.
The article had nothing constructive for the street and set a even more negative tone for it.
East Perry is a community full of youth and diversity. What separates East Perry from any other street in this town?
I am writing this in regards to the OCHS Veterans Day Luncheon.
It was a wonderful lunch and the meal was quite good.
The ceremony for the veterans was beautiful, but what impressed me most was how well-behaved the students were. Owen County should be proud of their young people. They were very respectful and courteous to all the veterans and their families.
They made me proud to be from Owenton and glad my grandchildren will someday attend that school in the future.
I thank the staff and students for a wonderful afternoon of honoring our veterans
There are three things that are constant for the middle of November:
The leaves have all fallen off the trees.
The temperature gets colder.
The Bengals are eliminated from playoff contention.
I guess one out of three isn't bad.
Who would have thought that at this time of the year it would be 70 degrees and the Bengals would be 7-2 and in first place in the AFC North?
Let me digress for just a moment and say that if this last weekend was an example of global warming, then keep it coming.
The Canadian government has enacted a law that could endanger the entire burley tobacco industry. U.S. tobacco growers need President Obama and the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to ensure that the Canadians honor their trade obligations and that other countries do not follow Canada's lead in banning American blend cigarettes.
(I) traveled to Washington, D.C., Nov. 4-5 to encourage our congress to vote no on the health-care bill.
There are many unhealthy proposals included in the bill including taxpayer-funded abortion and a generous portion to fund a private-sector military "Americorp" controlled by the President.
Does this sound like a rerun from World War II? Please pray this bill does not pass the Senate.
Already Medicare and Medicaid are in debt $42 trillion. Does this sound like another great adventure for our government to embark on? I pray not.
For too long, casino gambling has dominated the debate in Frankfort to the detriment of all other issues. Gov. Steve Beshear has advocated very little, if anything, beyond the expansion of gambling. Attorney General opinions throughout the years are divided. The Governor campaigned on "letting the people decide." As recently as last year, members of House Democratic Leadership promoted a constitutional amendment to expand gambling.
I once knew a man who got kicked out of his Blue Christmas therapy group because he was a little bit too cheerful. I thought about him last week as I stumbled through yet another Halloween.
For some, Halloween is all about the supernatural, the scary stuff like "the living dead" and werewolves.
I read with interest the opinion of Chris LeSuer (News-Herald, Oct. 14) regarding the rise in our tax bill. He seemed concerned that for every $100,000 home an extra $13 a year ($108 total) would be collected to support the library. Mr. LeSuer wanted his fellow Owen countians to be aware of this fact, stating that they could then form their own opinion as to the justification of the tax.

Can you believe the festival is less than a month away? To keep the excitement going, why not unveil another artists collective appearing on 14th street this October. The group's recent project called "Going Places (Doing Things)", involving a mysterious bus running on vegetable oil bringing its passengers to secret places inside and outside the city, was sold out and just ended August 28. You think mysterious locations and vegetable oil powered bus sounded interesting? It should because that is what Flux Factory is all about. The group's credo is to support innovation and experimentation in creating new works. With that said, there is no mystery why Art in Odd Places invited them to be part of this year's festival.
Sure, you missed the bus, so to speak, but it is not too late to check out what innovative work they will bring to 14th street. To keep the mystery going, let's just say their work will be a little more "hands-on" than usual. I recommend to not only have your eyes peeled but also your hand , well, handy.
Want to know more about Flux Factory? The group took a moment to answer a couple of our questions
Aiop: Tell us about Flux Factory?
|photo provided by Georgia Muenster
FF: To put it concisely, Flux Factory is an artist collective and nonprofit arts organization "supporting innovation in things." I'm Georgia, Exhibitions Manager and Director of Baking.
Aiop: How did you hear about Art in Odd Places?
FF: I don't actually know the answer to that. Didn't you approach us?
Aiop: What made you decide to submit a proposal for the Festival?
FF: Art in Odd Places fits our sense of humor strangely well. Unexpected things in public? Perfect!
Aiop: How is the preparation coming along for your piece this October?
FF: Oh, pretty great, thank you.
Aiop: What's your favorite spot on 14th street?
FF: See attached photo. I think that's on 14th near 6th Avenue?
|photo provided by Georgia Muenster
Aiop: Do you have a hidden talent you would like to share?
FF: I'll tell you when you're older.
Aiop: Any message to the people who will be in 14th street during the festival?
FF: Do you see someone waving at you? Don't be scared.
Aiop: What's the strangest encounter that you've had as pedestrian living in New York
FF: Oh man, once a guy stopped me on the walkway along the Queensboro bridge. He whipped out a roll of $100 bills, offering to take away me to Atlantic City. Then he asked me if I was pregnant. I turned him down.
Aiop: Where do you live? (as in borough or city)
FF: Queens!
As Flux Factory said it, please don't hesitate to wave back when see somebody waving at you.
Want to know more? There is an inFLUX of information about this group! Visit www.fluxfactory.org/ and check them out.
Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone!

Nov. 27, 1934
Augusta's much disputed special mayor's election yesterday reached the courts when Judge R.N. Hardeman of the Toombs Circuit received a mandamus petition from F. Frederick Kennedy and ordered the clerk of the city council to show cause before him on Dec. 7 why Mr. Kennedy should not be declared mayor of Augusta.
In his petition, Mr. Kennedy contends he is the only one of four candidates legally qualified. His opponents, however, disagree and say they might also seek court intervention.
(For a look at history through the pages of The Augusta Chronicle, subscribe to augustaarchives.com.)
Here are some tips for putting your teen-ager behind the wheel of an automobile:
Sit down with your teen and lay out conditions for getting and keeping a car.
Have your teen research makes and models. Check reviews, what's available and prices. Good starting points are wwww.cars.com; www.edmunds.com; www.kellybluebook.com; and www.consumerreports.com.
Pick a car that scores well on safety tests. Consult the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, www.nhtsa.gov.
Get a car with air bags.
Get a car without a high-performance engine.
Go to a dealer or car lot or check want ads to shop around. Involve your teen.
Find a compromise between a total beater and a flashy car.
Pick a medium-size car if possible.
Check gas mileage, odometer and reliability of your finalists.
Call your insurance agent and get quotes for your finalists.
Make sure your teen has plenty of practice in the car you buy or lease.
Teach your child how to maintain the car, the location of the quickie oil change place and how to call AAA.
Teach your child that reckless driving not only endangers passengers but also can cause the car to wear out more quickly and can get a young driver's car keys taken away.
Limit the number of passengers your child can take in the car.

Hi there,
Myself and my partner leave the UK in September for a round the work trip and plan to be away for 18 months.
Can anybody please recommend what style/design/make of backpack is best suited to an 18 month trip and what size we should take?
I have been looking at a couple of Berghaus Free flow options varying from 30L - 45L. I'm concerned that if I take anything larger, I will fill it with unnecessary things and live to regret it but please shout up if you think this is too small a bag for the duration that we plan to be away.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
best wishes :-)

Why do manufacturers make it so difficult to open their products? I bought a 1L plastic container of Miracle Gro Pour & Feed yesterday and have spent ages trying to get the top off. My hands and fingers work perfectly well, but I couldn't budge it. My husband tried too. He is large and strong and he also had a battle to open the top. He even tried cutting the top with a penknife - dangerous! He finally succeeded by banging it down hard on the ground a couple of times. This dislodged the little plastic perforated grips. I know the manufacturers have to protect children and to avoid spillage, but there is no small child on earth who could have opened this container. Did I just get a rogue one, or have other people had this problem too? Getting snippers, scissors, pruners etc out of their protective covers comes to mind too .......manufacturers please note, there could easily be a legal action from an injured adult!
Manufacturers please note

"The Idiot" (1869) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
"They call me a psychologist. That is not true. I'm only a realist in the higher sense; that is, I portray all the depths of the human soul."
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
The main theme of "The Idiot" is the contrast between the naive and innocent Prince Lyov Nikolayovich Myshkin and the materialistic and decadent society of the day. The prince truly believes in the good nature of people; he is constantly insulted, used and abused throughout the story only to instantly forgive and repeat the process once again. He even blames himself for their behavior, sometimes correctly but his reproaches are generally undeserved. Dostoevsky is being a realist in the sense that if a truly innocent were to try to survive without either being polluted and drawn into the world this would be the inevitable outcome. The story centers on a love triangle that develops between the prince, Nastasya Filippovna and Aglaia Epanchin. Plenty of drama ensues.
Prince Myshkin is frequently compared to Christ but I personally do not think this a correct correlation. While the prince is a genuinely good soul, he is not really a mystic or prophet. He is perhaps an ideal Christian, but still a flawed mortal. To me, that makes him more lovable and relatable than the lofty ideals he is frequently swept away with. And I did deeply relate to him; more so than to any other fictional character in fact. Is it too much for him just to have a pure heart?
Rogozhin is one of my favorite characters. He is craftily used throughout the novel; sometimes just a face peering out a window (or was it just your imagination?) and other times a very sympathetic victim of both his heart and circumstances. In my opinion, he is an excellent example of a base man who has become rich overnight and is ruined by it. He is not an evil man at heart but he does engage in villainous behavior as well as good old fashioned debauchery. He does love Nastasya but their coupling drives them both to a downward spiral. She becomes more erratic and scandalous and he behaves even more roguish until they are separated and then he obsesses over regaining her. It is true that Rogozhin is the type of man who will stop at nothing to get what wants. He does care for Myshkin but cannot help but see him as an obstacle between him and Nastasya and naturally resents that she loves Myshkin in a way that she will never love him. Rogozhin wanted to be like Myshkin but was not and Myshkin would have faired much better if he were a little more like Rogozhin. For that reason they are a pair of opposites which are eternally intertwined with each other.
One question that arises after reading this novel is "what is love?" A multitude of feelings that could be considered love are examined in the motives and thoughts of the characters. Rogozhin displays obsession, Myshkin compassion, Ganya mere financial gain with Nastasya over his true feelings for Aglaia, Aglaia cannot admit her feelings towards Myshkin and Nastasya really wants to be with Myshkin but always ends up running off with Rogozhin. From all this drama, the reader is left to ponder over who really loves who and how they end up where they are.
Throughout the story the prince, and reader, are drawn to each of the love interests only to meet their negative side and be repelled by them. Ultimately, it is rather difficult to say who he should choose. Maybe Yevgeny Pavlovich was quite correct when he tells Myshkin that he has really never loved either of them. At least not in the romantic sense; he took flight in altruistic and abstract ideas but never could see them in the normal sense. At the same time he saw people more clearly than anyone, but seemed to miss the fact that Aglaia "loved him like woman, like a human being, not like an abstract spirit" and Nastasya needed him to carry her away as Rogozhin would. This is one area where he is to blame, but he never meant to hurt them. I suppose that is why he is, in the end, an Idiot.
In my opinion, Myshkin should not have gotten involved with either of them as he could not love them as a husband or lover, but only in an altruistic way. He did truly love both of them, but not in the worldly way. He looked at them as wonderful pieces of art without objectifying them. He could have spent the rest of his life just looking at Aglaia but nothing more and she desired to run away with her poor knight in a romantic tryst. Nastasya loved him, but needed him to come down to Earth for her to feel deserving of him and Myshkin was in awe of her but never could be what she really needed him to be.
There are many more colorful personalities adding to the story and Dostoevsky does a superb job of developing all of them fully, showing both their good qualities as well as their short comings. Ippolit the consumptive gossip-hound, General Ivolgin the compulsive liar, Keller and of course Lebedyev cannot be forgotten. You really feel as if they are larger than life prototypes of people you have met in real life.
At the end of the day, I must agree with Prince Myshkin in his quixotic belief that "beauty will save the world."

The Venus of Urbino
This is easily one of, if not my outright favorite painting. I first saw Titian's "Venus of Urbino" when I was a teenager and instantly fell in love with her. I feel that this is a very remarkable work because of the unabashed eroticism it portrays.
There is no question as to the incredibly sexual intent of this piece. The screen coving the left side of the background draws a perfect line down the center of the work and points directly to her almost exposed vagina. This is the most obvious straight line in the entire painting. All the other lines are curved Her hand, which is the only thing covering her, indicates that she is about to begin masturbating or that she perhaps already has been pleasuring herself.
Venus stares directly at you with a neutral or perhaps even stoic expression. The fact that she is not only unashamed of her nudity or self stimulation completely makes this piece what it is. She is one of the only Venus's worthy of the name out of all the other paintings or sculptures of this goddess. This expression immediately puts the viewer into their place, as if you are her subject and she cannot even be bothered to cover herself and she is not even aware that she would be expected to do so. Your intrusion into her chamber hardly requires a glace down at you while she lays on her bed rubbing herself.
The sleeping dog on her bed is also conspicuous. Dogs usually symbolize loyalty and trustworthiness and the fact that her dog is fast asleep implies the opposite of this, at least for now. This is the artists way of implying that she, like the goddess of love, may be quite polyamorous. This interpretation works well with the rest of the piece and I do believe it to be the intention of Titian.
The women on the right in the back of the chamber search in a chest, presumably for Venus's cloths. They are the tether between our goddess and reality. They bring her down to earth so to speak. While she lays dreaming, they hurry to make their mistress decent. It is also telling that these women are surrounded by straight lines on the walls around them.
The right side of the work is very rigid and orderly while the curtain on the left is ruffled dark and composed of fluid horizontal lines. This is a duality of order versus chaos. The right side is light while the left is dark. It is no coincidence that her face is almost centered on the left portion and that the dog sleeps on the rear right corner of the bed.
The Venus of Urbino is truly a masterpiece by one of the Italian Renaissance's best masters. This short treatise cannot begin to do proper justice to what I consider to be Titian's magnum opus.

Over the past few blogs, I've been writing about the state of optimal performance known as flow. This offering continues with that theme, though I'm turning over the reins on this one to Jamie Wheal, the executive director of the Flow Genome Project.
A few months back, Jamie had the chance to travel down to Sir Richard Branson's Caribbean paradise, Necker Island, where he sat down with the Virgin magnate to discuss the role flow has played in helping shape his multi-billion dollar empire.
Over to Jamie.
When I first saw the Crow's Nest perched on the roof-top of the main house on Necker Island I thought, "who in their right mind would put a hot tub way the hell up there?"
I'd just landed on the island after a Miami Vice-style nighttime boat ride from neighboring Tortola, to join a MaiTai Global event for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and kiteboarders hosted by Sir Richard Branson on the 74 acre island he bought in 1978.
And while it took me until 1 a.m. on our last night to finally climb the stairs to that lookout in the rigging, what I found there, and in an extended interview over breakfast with Richard the following morning, confirmed everything I'd suspected about the Virgin founder's road to the good life (with a few surprises too).
Here's what Richard had to say about living large and dreaming big, and how he approaches business, building the Virgin brand, and making the most of opportunities.
1. Push the Envelope--Take Bigger Risks in Life Than You Do In Business
Jamie Wheal: We know from the research that one of the most reliable triggers to put you into the peak performance state known as Flow, is Risk. Can you share with us the role that risk has played in your life and work?
Richard Branson: To me, an adventurer and an entrepreneur are very similar--both take big risks for big rewards. The risks for an entrepreneur are obviously not as catastrophic, but they are similar. I've been fished out of the ocean five times, which is four times more than a rational person would have. I keep doing those things because of the challenge, the sense of awe at the natural world, and of making the impossible possible.
I mean flying in a balloon at 35,000 feet over Everest and K2, we were worrying about downdrafts and being just awestruck by the beauty at the same time. We crossed the Atlantic, then the Pacific, then went around the world--none of those had been done before--but we set them as a goal and did it.
I'm an extreme adventurer and I suppose that makes me an extreme entrepreneur. It's like when I got fed up flying other airlines to go and visit my record companies--I said screw it, let's call up Boeing and ask if they have any second hand planes and we started our own airline--that's the act of an extreme adventurer, saying I don't mind if I fall flat on my face, let's try and do it better than it's ever been done before.
2. Practice Moderation in All Things (including Moderation)
Wheal: Even a casual look around Necker reveals a blend of high action with utterly indulgent relaxation. Infinity pools and on-demand cocktails live comfortably beside cliffside gyms and a high-octane watersports cabana. Given how active and adventurous a life you lead, talk to us about your relationship to physical and mental fitness?

Pratap to SHOOT Bhatiyani in Sony TV's Maharana PratapFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
Now this will surely shock everyone!!!
The perfect beta and ruler Pratap (Ssharad Malhotraa) will do the unpardonable in Sony Entertainment Televisions Bharat Ka Veer Maharana Pratap (Contiloe Entertainment).
The warrior prince, who makes every possible things to keep his family and kingdom happy, will suddenly be crowned a villain as he will shoot his step mother Dheerbai Bhatiyani (Aashka Goradia).
Shocked arent you?
Well, there are two things to worry at the moment- firstly what is a gun doing in a historical show and secondly why would Pratap, the ideal son, create such a mistake?
Let us give you the reasoning for both.
The soldiers would lay their hands upon a gun left behind by a British army and bring it to Pratap. Intrigued by the machine, Pratap will be seen trying to figure out its workings when suddenly he will shoot a bullet through it. And the bullet would go and hit Bhatiyani, injuring her badly.
Will Bhatiyani survive the attack? What would be the outcome of this accidental shoot out?
Sources inform that the actors are shooting for the promo of the particular sequence.
When we buzzed Ssharad he too confirmed shooting for the promo.
Are you excited to see this particular sequence? Let us know in the comment box below.

Skip to comments.Brisk gun sales leave store shelves bare (so much for the masses wanting gun control)
Posted on 01/15/2013 3:50:05 PM PST by Red in Blue PA
CRESTWOOD, KY (WAVE) - A new Washington Post poll found 52 percent of Americans favor new gun control measures. Despite that, guns are flying off store shelves in Kentuckiana.
Owners at several gun shops tell WAVE 3 News, they've had days when their stores are packed, some even say they had lines out the door and all of those we talked to tell us, their supplies are running low.
"They've been though the roof," said Open Range Sales consultant Aaron Hatfield of gun sales and one thing is driving them, "fear," he said. "They're scared of what's going to happen and the unknown."
As the Connecticut school shootings and the shooter's AR 15 rifle fuel talk of more gun control, Open Range's Hatfield says buyers have come out of the woodwork. At first, he said sales were amazing, now he says, many dealers have little on the shelves. A section normally full of ARs and Lever Action Rifles are all gone.
Gun sellers can't replenish their stock.
(Excerpt) Read more at 14news.com ...
Politicians claiming the masses want gun control?
Or their own lying eyes watching AR's fly off the shelves? (and back ordered for 2 years per Stag Arms)
Was at a local sporting goods store today....ammo and guns disappearing - FAST!
Does anyone believe politicians?
This shouldn't mean squat in a Constitutional Republic.
We should be governed by laws and not by the whipped up emotions of the low-information public.
Of course, that won't stop the left from citing their own crafted polls.
Was DHS buying up all those bullets last year for a reason?
35% women - and overheard a woman saying to her husband (who looked maybe 60) - "you never buy anything for yourself - go ahead" -
Sportsman Guide has ammo. May order more and have it delivered to my brother in law until I can pick it up.
Ammo can be found at this website.
Ammo can be found at this website.
Here's a few of the places I've used over the years:
Cheaper Than Dirt jumped their price for 1000 rounds of 5.56 to $999.00. I'm wondering, once this stuff dies down, if that number will come down. I refuse to buy at the top of the bubble!
The last case of .223 I bought (in 1998) was $80. Now it's close to a dollar a round. Ridiculous. I hope you're right and the prices ease soon.
"if that number will come down. I refuse to buy at the top of the bubble!"
Doubt it. Tomorrow Obama will announce illegal Executive Orders to outlaw it all and the revolution might just be on. I think time is up.
Most people that support gun control are only nominally in favor of gun control. Yes, there are a few gun control fascists, but the group is small. The good news is that the 2A supporters are passionate and large; they outnumber the totalitarian control freaks.
Perhaps sheer passion will inspire the wishy washy low information voters to come to our side.
Rush now ponders on how to make the low information voters come to our side. More information does not work, logical persuasion does not work. The only way to motivate these people to come over to our side is passion.
Happened to be in Walmart when fed ex delivered 2 Windham AR15s. Clerk told me the store had received a total of 5 ARs since Sandy Hook. I immediately bought both. While filling out paper work 4 people inquired about the availability of ARs. Appear to be solid rifles but I don't how they fire. No .223 ammo anywhere, NONE!! The city of Cincinnati is out of .223. Best I can find online is upwards of a buck a round. Not only .223 but also 7.62. Incredibly even all .22 is gone.
I kept reading how the masses were actually against Obamacare. Election proved otherwise. Not so sure about "the masses" on this one either.
OK, THIS poll had about 85,000 responses.
Should the federal government regulate guns of any type?
Yes, it should 20,366(23%)
No, it should not 64,655(76%)
Should Congress ban semi-automatic weapons?
Yes, it should 14,875(17%)
No, it should not 70,496(82%)
If Congress does not act, should President Obama use an executive order to ban or strictly control the sale of semi-automatic weapons?
Yes, he should 12,764(14%)
No, he should not 72,559(85%)
Do you agree that the Second Amendment gives citizens the right to own and bear guns without infringement?
Yes, I agree 73,634(86%)
No, I don't agree 11,755(13%)
Four to one against little bammy's wet dream.
I don't believe the recent election. We need an audit of the voters.
I've checked the laws. The Firearms Owners Protection Act allows me to transport ammo across state lines as long as it's in my trunk. Thanks for the links.
Sure; glad to help. Are you anywhere near PA?

We know that the state of the mind has a lot to do with how healthy the body is. An interesting study published this month in the Annals of Internal Medicine demonstrates the mind-body connection yet again - this time in relationship to heart disease.
The study looked at 362 men and women 75 and younger who had experienced a cardiac event within the past year.
The patients were separated into two groups. One group received traditional care, and the other received traditional care plus cognitive behavioral therapy. Significant results from the study showed the group that received cognitive behavioral therapy had fewer recurrent cardiac events - a 45 percent reduction in heart attacks compared to the traditional group.
What is cognitive behavioral therapy and how was it applied to this group of patients?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is counseling focused on resolving problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure.
In this study, the CBT focused on stress management, with patients attending 20 two-hour sessions during a year. These sessions were structured around five goals to reduce stress: education, self-monitoring, skills training, cognitive restructuring and spiritual development.
Participants were taught how to bring this new method of behavior and coping to reduce stress and hostility in their daily lives.
As a result of this stress reduction through CBT, there was a significant reduction in heart attacks. Furthermore, the more sessions the participants attended, the better the results.
So, one might think, this proves that a reduction of depression leads to fewer cardiovascular events.
Yes and no.
A study done almost 10 years ago showed that patients on antidepressants did no better than those not on antidepressants after a heart attack.
Perhaps healing is not just correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain, but incorporating positive thoughts and behavior patterns in the healing process. Our bodies are, in the end, a product of what and how we think.


text: > Now this leads to my actual question.. Is it really smart to > leave FC2 out there when this scenario will probably hit a lot of people? This has been on my mind as well. The Mandrake bugzilla entry mentions a fix (or anaconda? grub?) being in Cooker (their unstable distro) and so assumedly in the just-released MDK10-Official. That leaves FC2 in the unenviable position of being the only(?) distro out there afflicted with this problem. So in other words: a) Is a fix being developed (by whom? if not, who wants it?) b) Once it's developed, can we replace the FC2 ISOs on the website and mirrors with ones that incorporate the fix? --Brad

In Memory of
Federico "Cas" Casanova Jimenez
July 11, 1959 - April 3, 2013
Federico "Cas" Casanova Jimenez, 53, passed away on the 3rd April 2013 at his home in Houston from a heart attack. He is survived by his mother, father and step mother, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was born in New York City on a sunny Saturday on the 11th of July 1959 .The family moved to Houston in 1965. He graduated from Memorial High School in 1977, he then attended and studied at St. Thomas and San Marcos Universities. In 1979, he joined the U.S Navy and received an honorable release from active duty in 1983.
He was then transferred to Naval Reserve and served until September 1985.
He enjoyed and loved his years in active duty, graduating as a Radio expert operator and sailed on the USN Helicopter carrier 'New Orleans'. After two years of active duty on that ship, he was stationed in Subic Bay in the Philippines.
After his service in the Navy, he joined the USN Reserve Center in New Orleans, La. During that time, he flew different planes acting as radio operator.
In 1986, he joined McLean Cargo, a Freight Forwarding Company and began studies to be certified as a hazardous material expert for international freight. A couple of years later, the company had a Central American operation chartering Cargo planes, twice a week and Federico was asked to fly back and forth with those planes, supervising the business, and doing an outstanding job.
After the contract was finished, Federico, started his own company, Houston HazMat, which was very highly recognized in the Houston Area.
Federico had a most generous spirit and was full of humor. He was also a great outdoorsman and fishing was his passion.
Honoring his wishes and his great love for the sea, his ashes will be disposed of by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Friends are cordially invited to join the family for a memorial service to honor and celebrate his life at six o'clock in the evening on Tuesday, the 30th of April, in the Jasek Chapel of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.

Someone put a leash on that dad of yours
Published 4:00 am, Friday, March 10, 2006
The Shaggy Dog: Family comedy. Starring Tim Allen, Kristin Davis and Robert Downey, Jr. (PG. 99 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
"The Shaggy Dog" is as good as family entertainment gets, meaning it will tickle kids while throwing the occasional bone to parents to keep them from growling. As the title character, Tim Allen doesn't miss a trick exhibiting canine behavior and comes close to matching the silent screen greats at physical comedy.
Just when it seems he's gone as far as humanly possible with sight gags like lapping up a bowl of cereal drenched in milk, chasing his tail (actually a tie dangling from a robe, but you get the picture) and running on all fours after a stick, there's more shtick. He raises his leg to do his business at a public urinal. Sharing an elevator with a real dog, he obediently sits on the owner's command.
If none of this sounds the slightest bit funny, then this probably isn't the shaggy dog tale for you. But here's another inducement: Robert Downey Jr., nailing a rare shot at comedy as a transparent bad guy, can be spotted suspiciously scratching. Still not sold? OK, go rent "The Fly."

"Shaggy Dogs" would be a more accurate title for this fluffy nonsense. In the opening scene, the first bearded collie, which has lived to be 300, is swiped from Tibet (a rickety re-creation that looks like the long lost set of "Lost Horizon") to be experimented on by disreputable scientists hoping to get rich by discovering the secret to longevity. Stolen again, the dog is brought to the home of Deputy District Attorney Dave Douglas (Allen) and promptly bites him, resulting in Dave's transmutation into an exact clone. The explanation has something to do with top-secret genetic mutation serum, but don't spend too much time puzzling over that.
Worth puzzling over is why it took five writers to adapt "Shaggy Dog" from the bones of two furry predecessors. In the original 1959 version starring Fred MacMurray, his son is the one transformed into a canine. The new movie more closely resembles "The Shaggy D.A." from 1976 in which the boy, now grown and about to run for district attorney, finds his ambitions hampered by his shifts back into animal form.
Dave also aspires to be D.A. His direct path is to prosecute an animal rights activist charged with setting fire to a lab run by a biotech scientist (Downey Jr.). Dave is so consumed with the case that his wife (Kristin Davis, in a skimpily developed role that requires her only to smile or look cross) and son and daughter hardly see him anymore. Even when he is home, he's too distracted to pay attention to them.
Borrowing a plot device from "Liar Liar," it takes a fantastical occurrence like becoming a dog to make Dave see that his priorities are all screwed up. It's a safe guess that Hollywood has its share of screenwriters who are guilt-ridden about not spending enough time with their families.
Director Brian Robbins ("Varsity Blues") deserves strokes for figuring out how to divvy up the screen time between Dave behaving like a dog and being morphed into one. While scampering around, Dave's inner thoughts are voiced by Allen. He attempts to alert his children that that's him barking by using his paws to spell out "I Am Dad" with Scrabble pieces. It's amusing to see Davis, who as Charlotte on "Sex and the City" complained about dating dogs, kissing one. But Allen's physical presence is missed in these scenes, and Robbins knows exactly the right moment to bring his star back.
Part of the movie's charm is that it manages to feel old-fashioned while availing itself of state-of-the-art special effects. Frame by frame we watch Dave turn into a bearded collie. The same genetic mutation serum that got him also was injected into assorted rabbits, rats and a snake, each of whom sports doglike features. A scene of them playing together on top of a car is sure to delight kids in the audience as well as adults willing to dispel disbelief.

The following is respectfully quoted from "The Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche" published by Shambhala Publications
A Brief Biography of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche by Tulku Thondup:
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Tashi Paljor (1910-1991) was one of the few great lineage holders, writer, teachers, and transmiters of teachings and powers of Nyingma tantras in general and Longchen Nyingthig in particular who reached numerous disciples in Tibet, India, Nepal, Bhutan and the West.
He is also known as Gyurme Thekchok Tenpe Gyaltsen, Jigme Khyentse Özer, and Rabsel Dawa.
He was born on the thirteenth of the fourth month of the Iron Dog year of the fifteenth Rabjung (1910) in the family of Dilgo, a minister (nyerchen) of the king of Dege in the Nyö clan in Dan Valley. His father was Tashi Tsering. It was the very day that the great master Mipham Namgyal and his disciples were performing the feast ceremony at the completion of his one-and-a-half month teaching on his Commentary on Kalachakra at Dilgo. Mipham immediately gave pills of Sarasvati, the female Buddha of wisdom, with the sacred letters DHIH and HRIH to the baby to eat even before tasting his mother's milk. About a month after the birth, Mipham gave empowerments for purification and longevity and named him Tashi Paljor. Since then until Mipham died at the beginning of 1912, Khyentse was given blessed substances continuously.
When he was only four months old, Ngor Pönlop Loter Wangpo recognized him as the tulku of Khyentse Wangpo. At the time of the death of Mipham, Shechen Gyaltsap Pema Namgyal (1871-1926) saw him and asked the family to give him to Shechen.
At the age of six, he was accidentally burned badly in a fire and was seriously ill for about six months, which caused him to take ordination as a novice.
When he was fifteen, Gyaltsap recognized him as a tulku of Khyentse Wangpo, enthroned him at Shechen Monastery, and named him Gyurme Thekchok Tenpe Gyaltsen. He also gave him numerous transmissions, including those of Dam-ngagk Dzö and Nyingthig Yabzhi. From Khenpo Pema Losal of Dzogchen he received transmission of Longchen Nyingthig. From Adzom Drukpa, he received teachings on Longchen Nyingthig Ngöndro.
With Khenpo Zhephen Chökyi Nangwa (Zhen-ga) of Dzogchen, Khenpo Thubten Chöpel (Thupga) of Changma hermitage, Dza Mura Asanga, Abhidharma, Yönten Dzö, the commentaries of Guhyagarbha-mayajala-tantra, and many others. Khenpo Thugpa recognized him as the tulku of Önpo Tenzin Norbu (Tenli).
Then from Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö he received the transmission of Sakya, Kagyu, Geluk and Nyingma teachings, including Rinchen Terdzö, Nyingthig Yahzhi, Longchen Nyingthig, and Lama Gongdu. From Khenpo Tendzin Dargye of Shechen he received transmission of the nine volumes of Jigme Lingpa. From Shechen Kongtrul (1901-1959) he received transmissions of the thirteen volumes of Minling cycle. He received teachings of all the Buddhist traditions of Tibet from over seventy teachers. Among them, Shechen Gyaltsap and Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö were his principle teachers.
Starting from the age of eighteen, for twelve years he stayed in solitary places and practiced various teachings, including Three-Root Sadhanas of Minling Terchen and Lonchen Nyingthig.
Throughout his life he dedicated himself to giving teachings and transmissions to all, whoever came to receive them. He wrote that by the age of sixty-four, he had given empowerments of Nyingthig Yabzhi and Longchen Nyingthig over tend times. From the age of forty till eighty-two he gave discourses on Chokchu Münsel, the commentary on Guhyagarbha by Longchen Rabjam at least once a year, and gave extensive commentaries on Jigme Lingpa's Yönten Dzö. Among countless other teachings, he gave five times the transmission of the Rinchen Terdzö, four times those of the Nyingma Kama, and thrice that of Dam-ngak Dzö, and twice that of Kanjur.
Rinpoche and his consort, Khandro Lhamo, had two daughters. His daughter Chime's son is the seventh Shechen Rabjam.
At the invitation of the royal family of Bhutan, he spent years in Bhutan teaching and transmitting the teachings.
Since the early 1960's, he single handedly maintained and propagated the unique nonsectarian tradition of Khyentses, and tirelessly with the continuity of a stream he spread the teachings by traveling, teaching, practicing, and building monuments without any pause, for the sake of Dharma and people.
In 1980 he built Shechen Dargye Ling Monastery (a name he took from his monastery in Tibet) at Bodhnath in Nepal, an elaborate complex with over two hundred monk-students. In 1988 he established a shedra at the new monastery, where monks are studying scholarly texts.
Starting in 1975, he visited many countries in the West many times and taught various levels of teachings and transmissions. Also he established Tekchok Ösal Chöling, a Dharma center in France. He visited Tibet three times from exile to teach and to help in rebuilding the monasteries and the faith in his homeland.
He conferred on the fourteenth Dalai Lama many empowerments and teachings on the commentaries of Guhyagarbha and Yönten Dzö and oral teachings of Dzogpa Chenpo combined with teachings on Yeshe Lama.
He discovered many teachings and sadhanas as terma and wrote many scholarly texts and commentaries on various subjects, totaling twenty-three volumes. Among his writings on Longchen Nyingthig are a commentary on Palchen Düpa and Wangki Chokdrik.
At the age of eighty-one, at three A.M. on the twentieth of the eighth month of the Iron Sheep year (September 28, 1991, his enlightened mind merged in to the ultimate openness at a hospital in Thimbu, the capital of Bhutan. Since then, his monastery in Nepal has been presided over by his Dharma heir and grandson, Rabjam Rinpoche, Gyurme Chökyi Senge.
He was one of the greatest learned and accomplished masters of Tibet of our age. He was tall and giant. When he was among other masters, he stood like a mountain in the midst of hills or shone as the moon among stars, not because of his physical prominence, but because of the breadth of his scholarship and depth of his saintliness. When he gave teachings, it was like the flow of a river, with hardly any pause. If strangers heard his lectures, their first impression might be that he was reading a beautiful text from memory, as the words of his talks were poetry, his grammar was perfect, and the meaning was profound.
Another most astonishing feature was his memory. He remembered not only scholarly and liturgical texts and details about his teachers and friends, but also those people whom he had seen only once years earlier.
His kindness was boundless, and there was room for everybody. Whenever I had an audience, he gave me the feeling that there was a place for me reserved in his vast mind. If you watched carefully, you got the feeling that he was always in the meditative or realized wisdom of openness and reaching out to people with the power of compassion, love, and directness, without any alteration.
He practically held the transmissions of all the Buddhist teachings of Tibet, but was constantly searching for additional transmissions, no matter how minor they might be. He had a huge library collection, but never stopped looking for even a page of rare writing. He was also immensely loyal.
In his last trip from Bhutan to Kalimpong, instead of flying he insisted on making the arduous journey by car in order to see an old disciple of his on the way. While that effort might have exhausted the last drops of his physical strength, it would have been his joy and fulfillment, an act of compassion.
Urgyen Tenzin Jigme Lhundrup (b.1993), the grandson of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1919-1996) and the son of Kela Chokling Rinpoche and Dechen Paldron of Terdhe, has been enthroned as the reincarnation of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was one of the great Lamas who recognized Ahkon Lhamo Rinpoche

Cupcake screenshots posted by Android developer
January 23, 2009 | by Andrew Kameka
Though T-Mobile users won't get to enjoy the Cupcake update anytime soon, they can glimpse at the Android operating system update courtesy of developer Arron La. On his personal Android development blog, La posted screen captures of the Cupcake build that he installed on his phone. He points out that Android has slightly modified icons, animation effects, application settings, and of course a virtual keyboard among other things in the new build. It also sports a Notepad application, but there are already a number of apps in the Market like AK Notepad and Text Edit that already fulfill this need.
Other changes include:
1. New Local Setting Page – Gives you option to pick different locales and pick different text inputs.
2. New Option to view running and third party applications – An option to view running and third party applications from the normal application list. Does not provide a way to terminate them.
3. New windows opening/closing animation effect - a new popping effect when windows are opened/closed.
4. New default notepad – a very simple and ugly default notepad.
5. New Global Time application – not sure if it will be provided by TMobile but it's just a rotating earth and I couldn't get it to do anything else.
6. New Spare Parts Application – Once again not sure if the official version will have this, but it provides a number of extra settings such as setting windows animation and transition animation speed, font size, end button behavior and etc. It also has a "display rotation" option which supposedly should allow auto-rotate base on orientation across the entire os, but it is not currently working.
7. New Virtual Keyboard – The virtual keyboard will pop up on every edit box. I didn't feel any haptic feedback but I am thinking that it's just not there on the example keyboard. Because the phone does not auto-rotate (an option exists but it doesn't work), it's very hard to type on it. The sample keyboard also does not provide auto-corrections.
8. Slightly better looking buttons with more shadow.
In the comments section, La mentions that "Cupcake is still in mist of heavy development and the build was barely usable (very laggy and etc)." That means G1 owners may be even further from Cupcake than originally thought.
More screenshots are available at La's website.

Their marriage lasted only slightly longer than the honeymoon - to no one's surprise, not even Bryony Asquith's. A man as talented, handsome, and sought after by society as Leo Marsden couldn't possibly want to spend his entire life with a woman who rebelled against propriety by becoming a doctor. Why, then, three years after their annulment and half a world away, does he track her down at her clinic in the remotest corner of India?
Leo has no reason to think Bryony could ever forgive him for the way he treated her, but he won't rest until he's delivered an urgent message from her sister - and fulfilled his duty by escorting her safely back to England. But as they risk their lives for each other on the journey home, will the biggest danger be the treacherous war around them - or their rekindling passion?

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Narrator has speech problems."
I couldn't go beyond the first chapter as the narrator cannot say the F sound and sometimes the soft TH sound.
"Good story"
I like all the Sherry Thomas books I've read. I'm not a fan of this particular narrator.
"Not a light read/listen."
Story is rather dark and the characters face only adversity.
Turns out ok. Thankfully.
Narration is devoid of the correct emotion.
"Definitely not a hit!"
I usually love Sherry Thomas' works but this one just didn't do it for me. It was one of those books where I kept looking at the time measurement to see how much longer it would take to get to the end of this! The first part is kind of a travelog of India - confusing and not very interesting, and the heroine is totally unappealing. Add to that, the narrator is definitely NOT one of my favorites. So all in all, this was a pretty hard book to like. I would say, take a pass on this one.
"Couldn't finish..."
narrator is awful couldn't finish. The storyline sounded interesting and I enjoyed this author in the past.
"Don't bother"
If I could just get past the narrator, I might give this book a chance.
"Great Performance but Terrible Romance"
The heroine was very intelligent yet so immature, arrogant and childish that it ruin the story. She actually came off as mean and selfish a great deal of the time. Also, the author seem to put more effort into displaying her knowledge of the time and geography that the romance was secondary at best. I loved the hero but wished he had more backbone.
The selfish heroine
So many........
I worked hard at finishing the story because the narrator was excellent. My impatience with the heroine reached its limit though.

Stamford Daniels have reached the final of the Lincolnshire FA Senior Shield after beating Grantham 1-0 away on Tuesday night.
Playing under the floodlights at the South Kesteven Sports Stadium in Gratham, the Daniels took the lead early on with a goal from Shawn Richards after just nine minutes.
A strong run into the box from Jordon Smith had the Grantham defence turned and the striker passed the ball to Richards to slot under the keeper.
Former Daniels striker Gregg Smith almost made it even before half time but his strike could only find the post.
Grantham continued to threaten the Stamford goal either side of the break.
In the second half the hosts again hit the post and Stamford keeper Will Jones was forced to make a good save with his leg.
The Daniels, who were wasteful in possession and where having to cut out danger all over the pitch, had to play five minutes of stoppage time before the final whistle blew and they could celebrate their place in the final.
Stamford manager David Staff said: "We are obviously pleased to get to a cup final.
"I certainly want to win something with this team this year. The players love playing in a final and we have a lot of loyal fans who will enjoy watching it."
However Staff is not getting carried away. He said: "The game showed that in football you can do all you can but need a bit of luck.
"We rode our luck and are grateful to be in the final. We we will need to be better than that in an equally important game on Saturday."
Stamford now face Evo-Stick First Division South opponents Brigg Town's in Lincolnshire FA Senior Trophy Final which will be played on Tuesday, April 29, at Lincoln City's Sincil Bank stadium. Ko 7.45pm.
Brigg Town beat Bottesford Town 2-0 in a semi-final on Tuesday last week to book their place in the final.
Stamford have won the Lincolnshire Senior Shield on three occasions, the last came in 2011 with a win on penalties against Boston United.
Stamford: Will Jones, Nabil Shariff, Shawn Richards, Alvin Jarvis, Richard Jones (C), Lewis Carr, Charlie Binns, Emeka Nwadike, Jordan Smith, Ashley Robinson, Ryan Robbins.
Substitutes: Daniel Lawlor, Jack Ashton, Matt Cotton, Ryan Walker, David Staff.
