When 120 students aged 16-20 gather from across the country next week at Colorado Christian University for the Young Conservatives Leadership Conference, lead instructor Hugh Hewitt will offer them a toolbox for influencing the world spiritually, culturally, and politically.
In classroom sessions each day, July 14-18, the law professor, author, and national radio host will draw upon the American Founding, the Bible, the classics, history, the headlines, and his own book In, But Not Of: A Guide to Christian Ambition and the Desire to Influence the World (Thomas Nelson, 2012). Reproduced below for YCLC students' use, with permission of the author, is Professor Hewitt's third chapter, "The Pressure of These Times."
Decades ago, union organizer Saul Alinsky committed to text his methods for bringing about radical change in the book, Rules for Radicals, first published in 1971. You might not have heard of Alinsky, but he towers over other would-be American revolutionaries because he influenced not just the unionization movements of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s but also the civil rights movement and the campus radicals of the anti–Vietnam War era. His legacy is a brass-knuckled treatise on how to attack power and destroy consensus, still used by many groups across the nation and the world. Alinsky was an atheist. "We're talking about revolution," he proclaimed, "not revelation."
Like most but not all of the Left, Alinsky believed in changing the here and now; preparing men for an eternal life with or without God was beyond his interest. That focus on the present with its demand for immediate action and results has been a tactical advantage over Christian values for a half century, and that advantage has been exploited to stunning effect. The dominant cultural elite is presently radically Left, and the political elites are balanced between Left and Center Right. (Christians, of course, arefound all across the political spectrum.) Now the church itself is locked in civil war with elements that seem to have committed Alinsky's methods to memory. Whether the Jesus Seminar or ad hoc caucuses within various mainline denominations, tenured apostates within Catholic universities or headline-grabbing God-and-the-environment lobbies, the Left has continued to assault established Christian hierarchies in the hope, sometimes realized, of capturing control or at least dominant influence.
There is no conspiracy, though it is a frequent tactic of the Left to accuse the Center Right of seeing conspiracy everywhere. Conspiracy signifies an organized hierarchy issuing orders and mapping strategy. The Left is instead defined by a set of attitudes that tend toward the same decisions and actions so that, unorganized and decentralized as it genuinely is, it brings about the very same results as though it was a highly structured and organized command-and-control operation. John Arquilla, a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School and a former RAND analyst, has written extensively about the new era of "networks and netwars." Multichannel networks of people operate independently of hierarchy, but because of shared values and common tactics, they can move effectively with devastating consequences for established order.
The new networks are evolving before our eyes. Some are benign, the knitting circles of the Internet age. Think of auser group devoted to crossword puzzles. Some are lethal and intent upon the destruction of the West, and with it the religious liberty that has allowed Christianity to flourish for sixteen hundred years. Al-Qaeda is the most sinister of the networks. Some are simply political and limited in their scope to dominating the institutions of power in the United States. One example is EMILY's List, an organization that coined its name from the first letters in the old political saying that "early money is like yeast." Over the years EMILY's List has used a fund-raising technique termed bundling—the coordination of tens of thousands of modest contributions into huge outpourings of cash—to propel itself into superstar status among interest groups. Unfortunately for Christians, the goals of EMILY's List are completely from the Left. Some of the new networks are embracing Alinsky's rules, and advancing in influence and authority on a daily basis. The near continual agitation for policies unthinkable thirty or forty years ago—assisted suicide or repeal of age-of-consent laws—has brought the Left significant progress.
The culture wars of the 1980s and 1990s were actually a series of routs of traditional morals and religious beliefs from the field. This is hardly news. Few things have been more reported than the collapse of the Christian consensus in the United States and the rise of the postmodern culture. Nobody needs another "decline of the West"essay or a meditation on the goo of process theology/New Age cliché/trendy nihilism. Instead, I'd like to win a few rounds. I'd like the church (here and throughout this book meaning all "mere Christians" of the C. S. Lewis sort, regardless of denomination) to get up from the ground, shake off the dust, and get back into the game. A lot of Christian leadership seems intent on arguing over who gets the museum keys and who chooses the color of the wallpaper inside the crypt. Another swath is busy organizing the reception committee for Christ's return. Still others are intent on convincing us that we, in fact, didn't lose anything to begin with.
We no longer have time for the intramural league. The attack upon the West and Christianity became undeniable on 9/11, even though some are overcome by fear and cannot bring themselves to survey the field. Within the United States, elites of the Left refuse to confront the reality of hatred for the West, even as they keep up their assault on traditional Christianity. If the fundamental dynamics of the struggles for power and influence in the United States are not changed, the Left will be the decisive winner within a generation. If the Left does indeed triumph both culturally and politically, it lacks the will and the ideology to oppose the attack on the West from outside the West. It is that simple. It is that stark.
Of course, the apostles faced a much more daunting task in the first century than American Christians do in the twenty-first. And defeat and even suppression of the West would not dent, limit, or in any way harm the truth of the gospel. But it would make much, much more difficult the execution of the Great Commission. When, as is recorded at the end of the gospel of Matthew, Jesus instructed His disciples to "go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you" (28:19–20), He did not send them into a world protected by the Free Exercise Clause of the United States Constitution. But that clause is the result of centuries of strife and persecution and a guarantee of the right of Americans to execute the Great Commission.
Put another way, Sudanese Christians—horribly persecuted, often to the point of death or enslavement—cannot be succored by an American church that is empty or irrelevant. Hundreds of millions of Chinese may someday win the right to leave the shadows of their house churches and receive the theological legacy of the West, but that legacy will be worthless if it is corrupted or spent. And the missionary zeal, which once animated Europe and America, is at its lowest ebb today and will surely vanish in the absence of a vibrant and confident church. Many believers respond to the world's crises with prayer—which is exactly what all believers should do. Pray for the church. Pray for the culture. Pray for conversion and revival. Pray especially for your enemies. Many other believers are busy renewing the church by strengthening a particular church. Which is not only good but also necessary, and indeed commanded of believers. Every reader is called to be a part of a local church and to serve within that church.
There is, however, a much wider world within which to act, to serve, and to lead. This is the sphere of political and public affairs. Christians in great numbers have deserted this sphere, and those who remain within it are often incompetent, sometimes fanatical, and usually inconsequential. That has to change if the culture, the country, and the world are going to change. "The basic requirement for the understanding of the politics of change is to recognize the world as it is," wrote Alinsky. "We must work with it on its terms if we are to change it to the kind of world we would like it to be. We must first see the world as it is and not as we would like it to be. We must see the world as all political realists have, in terms of 'what men do and not what they ought to do,' as Machiavelli and others have put it." Christians have a head start on understanding the world as it is, because Christians begin with an understanding that man is fallen and that sin is everywhere and a part of everyone's life. It is familiar territory for believers when they read Alinsky's conclusions:
It is not a world of peace and beauty and dispassionate rationality, but as Henry James once wrote, "Life is, in fact, a battle. Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. But the world as it stands is no narrow illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of the night; we wake up to it forever and ever; and we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it." Henry James's statement is an affirmation of that of Job: "The life of man upon earth is a warfare."
'Even Christians nod their heads as they read Alinsky, James, and Job, though they are generally limited in their response to how the world is. In recent years, Christians in vast numbers have given up on the idea of changing the world and focused instead on building their congregations, and praying for a wide variety of good and godly causes, including missions work. California Christianity seems especially focused on inviting friends to church, giving some time and money to inner-city poverty relief and mission trips to Mexico. These are all exceptionally good undertakings—make no mistake about that. They should not only continue but also expand in scope and intensity. Changing the circumstances of individual lives is very much an obligation for every believer.
"There are no ordinary people," wrote C. S. Lewis. "You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendors." Given this perspective, that each soul is immortal, changing the trajectory of a soul's path is a matter of infinite consequences. So the tasks and efforts touched on are supremely important. But then so, too, is the world. If inviting nonbelievers to worship matters, then so does preserving the freedom to worship. If ministering to the needs of the poor is a mandate, then changing the policies creating poverty is very much within that mandate. And if building shelter in developing countries is part and parcel of a Christian's burden, so is the destruction of the power of tyrants who oppress peoples around the globe. Taking first steps on a path is not running an entire race.
Three decades after the Moral Majority and two decades after the Christian Coalition, American Christians have pretty much given up on changing their culture through politics. The marginalization of the Christian Right is profound and deserved in many ways. Its leaders often appeared as bullies, its statements fanatical, and some of its troops wild-eyed. And, of course, its "victories" were transient, if not totally contrived to begin with. Use any measure: religious liberty, the state of public education, the availability of porn, the abuse of drugs, the prevalence of abortion, the continued splintering of family. These are indices not only of social destruction, but also, inversely, of the impact of Christianity upon its culture. As the obvious tallies of sin rise, one can conclude only that Christianity's impact has fallen. How to change this? Not through a renewed Moral Majority or a newer, improved version of the Christian Coalition certainly.
Rather, every Christian must consciously commit to impacting the culture. To do that requires influence. Influence is not an automatic gift bestowed on good people. It is earned. It falls to a huge variety of people, most of whom consciously plan on acquiring influence. Christians need to seek influence. They need to acquire it. They need to use it once they have it. But first they must acquire it. This is a book about acquiring influence. It is primarily directed at young adults under age forty-five, though it is usable by the middle-aged and even seniors. There is little mystery about what works and what doesn't when it comes to acquiring influence, but some methods are clearly criminal—blackmail, for example—and others ought to be off-limits to Christians.
Though obvious, the means of acquiring influence are infrequently discussed among Christians. Thus what follows is a very "worldly" discussion and not for the fainthearted who think worldly ambition is itself evil or who are repulsed by Alexander Hamilton's blunt conclusion that "fame is the highest calling of the noblest minds." But if you have bought this book or received it as a gift, then you or someone you know thinks you have the right stuff to lead in the world, and you or someone you know has decided to add a little provocative writing and some very practical advice to your thought process. The first few chapters are for young adults—between eighteen and about thirty. Older folks can find some useful stuff there, but advice on academic credentials comes a little late for most people on the far side of thirty. The balance of the book is applicable throughout the five stages of an adult's life.
Your twenties are stage one. Stage two takes you from around thirty to around forty-five—the years of professional apprenticeship and usually small and demanding children. Professionally you will be at your peak abilities from forty-five to sixty, which is stage three. From sixty to the onset of physical disability, stage four, is the time to mentor and transition. And when the body begins to break down, you can relax and reflect. Influence tends to ebb as the body does, even as its acquisition peaks with professional accomplishment. These rough segments have fuzzy, permeable borders, of course, but they work well as general guideposts.
This is a critical point: you will find it difficult to obtain influence in your peak years if you have done nothing about it prior to entering the shadow of fifty. And once you have influence, it is very hard to relinquish it. Which is why everyone who thinks he wants influence and who believes he wants to lead should think at least a little on the myth of Er, which is described in detail in the next chapter. It may be a little odd to begin a book about Christian leadership with a reference to the closing chapter of Plato's Republic, but that's where we find the myth. And it teaches that a decision to seek influence and a decision to lead carry huge implications for your life, not all of them good.

NASA's Voyager 1 probe has reached a new frontier, 33 years into its voyage to the edge of the solar system and beyond. Since June, when it was 17 billion kilometres from the sun, it has stopped seeing particles in the solar wind streaming outwards. It is thought that pressure from incoming interstellar particles is pushing the solar wind sideways.
"The solar wind has turned the corner," Voyager project scientist Ed Stone of Caltech said in a statement. "Voyager 1 is getting close to interstellar space."
Voyager 1 is expected to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space four years from now (click here for a definition of the regions in the illustration above).
Its sister spacecraft, Voyager 2, has been travelling in a different direction and at a slightly slower speed; it is expected to pass various solar system thresholds a few years after its faster sibling, NASA says.
Voyager 1's results were presented on Monday at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.

Changing the Current Directory
The directory at the end of the active path is called the current directory; it is the directory in which the active application started, unless it has been explicitly changed. An application can determine which directory is current by calling the GetCurrentDirectory function. It is sometimes necessary to use the GetFullPathName function to ensure the drive letter is included if the application requires it.
Note Although each process can have only one current directory, if the application switches volumes by using the SetCurrentDirectory function, the system remembers the last current path for each volume (drive letter). This behavior will manifest itself only when specifying a drive letter without a fully qualified path when changing the current directory point of reference to a different volume. This applies to either Get or Set operations.
An application can change the current directory by calling the SetCurrentDirectory function.
The following example demonstrates the use of GetCurrentDirectory and SetCurrentDirectory.
#include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> #define BUFSIZE MAX_PATH void _tmain(int argc, TCHAR **argv) { TCHAR Buffer[BUFSIZE]; DWORD dwRet; if(argc != 2) { _tprintf(TEXT("Usage: %s <dir>\n"), argv[0]); return; } dwRet = GetCurrentDirectory(BUFSIZE, Buffer); if( dwRet == 0 ) { printf("GetCurrentDirectory failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); return; } if(dwRet > BUFSIZE) { printf("Buffer too small; need %d characters\n", dwRet); return; } if( !SetCurrentDirectory(argv[1])) { printf("SetCurrentDirectory failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); return; } _tprintf(TEXT("Set current directory to %s\n"), argv[1]); if( !SetCurrentDirectory(Buffer) ) { printf("SetCurrentDirectory failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); return; } _tprintf(TEXT("Restored previous directory (%s)\n"), Buffer); }

According to the top search engine optimization specialists, link building is one of the most essential aspects of SEO. Guest posting is an effective method to get backlinks and widen your audience. But getting your guest posts accepted by an authoritative blog may not be very easy. Here are some of the things you should avoid, if you want your guest posts to be accepted.
Too many typos
An authoritative and popular blog will expect good quality content. Your guest post has to meet their standards to be accepted. If your article is full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, there is a very good chance of your post being rejected. Proof read your post to remove any such errors before submitting it.
Many links back to your blog
The purpose of your guest post may be to get some backlinks, but this does not mean you can stuff your post with as many links as you wish. Go through the guest posting instructions and if allowed, you may include a link to your site in such a way that it seems to appear naturally in the post.
Ignoring instructions
If you want your guest post to be accepted, going through the guest posting instructions provided by the host blog and adhering to them is essential. Read the instructions carefully before you start working on the post to ensure that your efforts don't go waste.
Writing on a topic not related to the theme of the blog
If the target blog deals with technology, you can't write a post on 'Tips to make yummy brownies' and expect it to be accepted. You need to go through the blog, understand the type of content and theme if follows, and choose a topic on similar lines.

Under the bypass activation screen step you said to go clockwise around the screen starting from the top left, wouldn't that make the 3rd step to click the bottom right?
After my 48 hours crazy experience on activating my droid to page plus - I just would like to share this to everyone. You don't need to thank me - part of this is also compilation from other people post (MASTERS) in this forum. Plus admin willing this can be a sticky - make member easy to activate their droid.
Some people can activate their droid OTA and these are the steps:
NORMAL ACTIVATION OTA (credit Jaysen2)
Turn Droid off.
Call PagePlus Add ESN - Activate new ESN or Port (this is the best time, if you want to port your number)
Check Verizon's Port Checker.
Wait til it says it's complete.
Once it's "Complete", Turn Droid on.
Press Activate - Option 1
Phone will Activate and viola ?
But my DROID cannot be activated this way I have to do manual programing. But before that if you need to by pass the activation screen this is what you need to do:
At starting screen touch corners of the screen clockwise start from Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right. Do not touch the the DROID icon
Call your PP dealer or customer service and say you want to sign up with PP.
Give your ESN / MEID - remember if you want to port your old number this is the good time.
Ask them your MIN and phone number(MDN)
**PP CS, they will ask you to press activate or *22890 or *228 Opt 1 which mine didn't work. If you ask them you want to manual program you DROID phone they CAN NOT/DO NOT want to help. But no problem !!!. Just complete the call and say you will program it by your self (make sure the account is active).
ON your phone
Pass the activate screen (see above)
Go to phone mode
dial ##PROGRAM (##7764726) hit Send (CALL BUTTON)
put in the SPC code which "000000" (six zero) press VERIFY
Next screen, Go to selection "01 User Activation"
Replace the MIN number with the MIN number that you get from PP.
Replace the MDN number with your new PP phone number that you get from PP.
Exit and your Phone will restart automatically.
And you are ON PP.
I hope this will make people live easier. HAPPY PP everyone. ADVICE - careful on using your DATA 20/50MB will run so fast - use WIFI when ever you can.
Under the bypass activation screen step you said to go clockwise around the screen starting from the top left, wouldn't that make the 3rd step to click the bottom right?
ONE LAST STEP Do not call *228 or *22890 or anything after your phone reboots. You need to place a call. When you do, you will get a message stating that your passcode has been reset to the last four of your phone number, and to select which language you want your messaging.
For those who may be wondering, I can confirm that I was successfully able to order my phone from Verizon on a two year contract, activate it on Verizon, then port my number to PagePlus. However, if you have not already cancelled your contract, you are going to be out $350 ETF starting today.
no if your contract you signed said 175 thats what you pay, the new etf will only affect new customers signing 2 yr contractsOriginally Posted by dtor
Yes you right sorry -Originally Posted by ncguy
TOP left, TOP right, BOTTOM right, BOTTOM left.
Ok, so I have a phone that I bought on contract through best buy. Do I call PP and port my number over 1st, or cancel with Verizon??? And what about the 30 day trial or whatever it's called??
You call or go online with PP and port the number over. If you cancel first, your number will not be available to be used again for quite sometime.Originally Posted by aarong0921
Originally Posted by ZacHolley
OOOOH, ok, I got it. I was under the impression that the contract had to be cancelled by the 15th. My mistake. Thank you for clarifying.
If they had changed the ETF from $175 to $350 for existing customers, then a bunch of people could have canceled for free due to the change in terms (it's pretty standard to be able to get out of a contract with no ETF if terms change, but not always successful). Probably why they just did it "day forward".
So verizon doesnt give u any hassle if u cancel ur contract before your 30 days are up??
I haven't heard anything from them yet. You don't have to contact VZ for anything. When you port your number, it automatically cancels your contract.Originally Posted by aarong0921
I just bought a Droid from verizon.com with the 2 year contract. Since my ETF is only $175, I would like to pay it and use Page Plus from the get go.
I don't want to pay Verizon $70+taxes and $35 for the 1st month of service and activation fee, and would prefer to activate it directly with Page Plus before I activate my phone with Verizon when it comes in the mail tomorrow.
Can I do that? Or is Verizon going 2 make me pay that activation fee and 1st months service no matter what if I cancel and pay the ETF?
Yes you can Activate directly with PP. PM me if you need helpOriginally Posted by xpsoliver
can a admin please place this information in the page plus wiki, for easy finding.
You can activate a Motorola Android phone? For how much and what's the process?Originally Posted by ironman_troop

Tickling My Sister In Law - In Order To Feel Her UpMy sister in law went through an intensely flirty phase when she was 17. When i was staying over at her parents house - she would wear skimpy pjs - or just long shirts w/o a bra containing her nice perky C cup breasts and just tiny panties on below. She was eager to engage in tickle fights and wrestle whenever we were out of sight of others - and put up a good fight. Good enough that my hands could easily migrate all over her body feeling her up - without seeming like i was doing it on purpose.
Her night shirt would ride up past her belly button flashing her panties. When i tickled her arm pits - she squeezed her arms together so my hands would be pressed hard against her breasts. She pushed back against my raging hard on - and straddled me or let her legs part when i was on top of her so my **** pressed hard against her panty covered *****. When i tickled under her shirt - she made sure to reward me with a feel of her bare breasts.
She as very naughty - and i loved it.
We never went all the way - but the teasing and the fooling around did become very obvious - but neither of us ever formally recognized what was going on -- we both played innocent and enjoyed it. Since that time - the flirting has become more subtle - but still happens - 18 years later. I have seen her nude a few times - and returned the favor :)
hotscott35 36-40, M 3 Responses 2 May 2, 2011
As I read this Story I was suffering in great excstasy.
Did her Hands every stray over your body?
That's SO hot!
wow! I wish I had a sister in law.

The Sun's Alarming Article On Police Brutality
Whilst a lot of the reporting done in the Sun can be written off as over dratisation or even fabrication of the truth, the article today is not pleasant reading.
Nick talks of how he and some other West Ham fans were pulled out of the pub where they were having a quiet drink in the Crown public house.
He relates how at approximately 6.15pm the group of hammers supporters were informed by a policeman that they had to drink up as they were to be escorted to the ground for their own protection.
The group of supporters were then herded outside where dozens of police were waiting. They then linked arms and began walking backwards whilst their colleagues urged the fans to follow them.
Nick goes on to say how it all began peacefully even though they were being marched at a pace much too slow to get to the stadium in time for the kick-off.
The police forced the group to walk at a snails pace much slower than a normal pace and oon it became obvious that the stadium would not in fact be reached in time.
Matters started to get worse when fans began querying why the pace was so slow. The police reaction was to shove and threaten those that questioned them.
The convoy of police stopped then at another pub, the Dragon, to collect more of the Hammers' fans and again set off at a snails pace.
With it now obvious, that even though being hauled from the pub 90 minutes before the game, they weren't going to get to the ground on time, some fans again questioned the police about their operation.
Fans who had done quietly as instructed now began asking why they were being treated in such a manner. The protestations were loud but peacefulsays Nick.
The response was not. The reaction by them was instant. Officers were ordered to draw their batons. Youngsters at the front of the crowd were hit indiscriminately when they voiced their fears.
Some fans then surged forward to confront their attackers only to be met with increased violence.
Matters got worse when from nowhere appeared dozens of riot policed fully armed and ready for action. They ran straight to the front and suddenly the whole group was forcibly stopped.
With just ten minutes to kick-off and time running out the large group of West Ham fans were being oushed backwards away from the stadiu,.
A seargant was heard to shout 'use all force necessary to regain control' with the megaphone that he had raised.
This gave the policemen carte blanche to hit anybody that took their fancy and with nowhere for the fans to run for cover they had to simply take their brutality.
Finally the group arrived at the ground at 7.55pm. Even then the police blocked entry to the stadium. No entry until you have all cooled down we were informed.
The amazing journey which had allegedly been taken in the cause of protecting the fans finally ended with the fans late entry into the ground.
Birminham ended up winning an exciting game of two vastly differing halves. Birmingham ended up, in Nicks own words, as deserving winners after a fantastic second half performance and extra time.
Having had a heavy police presence on the way to the stadium, fans were surprised when leaving to find that they had been left at the mercy of Birmingham City's own local yobs.
Armed with mace and hurling an assortment of missiles the yobs were watched by, yes you guessed, the police.
Chatting idly in their little groups the police seemed impervious to what was happening. Mace was sprayed and missiles were thrown as well as blatant acts of charging at the West Ham fans.
What did the police do?
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
I find this an alarming inditement of our police force, and if only half true has to be investigated fully and quickly to have the truth told.
No, I am not calling Nick Chapman a liar but with him having been there the only question I have is why wasn't this story on the front page?
I find this far more interesting and worrying than seeing a tale of sordid sex with two footballers.
I apologise to all if you don't agree with me that this is worthy of making into an article but i am never ever going to keep quiet when it comes to such acts of violence.
Andy Gray and Richard Keys have been ostracised for being openly sexist and overly crude. They have not though physically abused anybody, and I feel that the truth of this incident must out.

The Goodrich Foundation has awarded Workshop for Warriors in San Diego a $100,000 grant to support its program that provides job training and skill certification to U.S. veterans at no cost. The Warriors program provides training in welding, milling and machining for wounded, homeless veterans and service men and women about to transition out of active duty. Thousands of veterans are expected to end their military careers over the next several months as the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. The Goodrich Foundation grant will be used to hire additional instructors in order to increase the number of graduates from Workshops for Warriors. The organization currently has a 100 percent job placement rate for its students. Last year, it received $25,000 from the Goodrich Foundation.

Hum... the archive on the FTP server was largely built when 1.3.x came out, with pkgsrc as of then. Some apps like gime were uploaded later, but it seems the uploader forgot to put up the needed libs. This shouldn't happen in the future as we've decided to not upload any pkgsrc-current packages.

Faro's Daughter - Georgette Heyer book club no. 12(35 Posts)
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I love Lady Bellingham and the exorbitant price of peas. Its the way that she is rather wistful that Deb won't embark on an affair as everything would all be so much easier if she did. Deb's ribbons and the vulgar widow at Vauxhall make me hoot too.
The whole point is that Deb doesn't hate Max or find him loathsome at all, in fact the opposite. He just really pisses her off when he leaps in with his assumption that she's a whore. When he invites her for a drive, she's all fluttery and happy - then he treads all over her and she gets mad. But she never loathes him - she's just bluffing it out - to herself as much as anyone else. Its GH'd attempt at a Beatrice/Benedict.
Agreed that Lucius is clunky as a plot device as it Kit being in love with Max's sister. But I think the picture of Adrian in the throes of calf love is quite touching and well drawn. Phoebe is vile but its not dissimilar to Perry & Harriet - and you see it going the same way - except it'll be Julian who gradually becomes disillusioned with her.
I have no problems with the burning through ropes - its a frothy novel - and its all supposed to be a shade ludicrous. Its certainly no more melodramatic that an the twists and turns of These Old Shades.
<toddler interruption>
Haven't read Faro's Daughter for some time, and it's not one of my favourites, but (like all GH's novels of this period) it's an interesting transitional one, the last set in the 1790s. Max and Deborah prefigure Serena and Ivo in Bath Tangle - both dominant personalities who want everything their way and fight a lot with sexual tension just underneath the surface. And there is not one but two wet younger couples, who like all of their successors are basically quite dull.
I like the setting in a gaming house; GH inherits her affection for gambling scenes from the earlier historical novelists (Baroness Orczy etc) but I think that by Faro's Daughter she is not romanticising them any more (as she did in Devil's Cub, say, or The Masqueraders). She sheds an interesting light on the business realities involved and from now on portrays serious gambling as unequivocally a Bad Thing (cf Friday's Child, The Grand Sophy, Arabella etc).
Can I join in? I've been lurking for a bit but Georgette is my go-to author in times of trouble. Or anytime, really.
I did like this book , but oh, the Oirishness. Maybe it's because I find it almost unreadable in any book when people write in cod-Irish or -Scottish accents, but anyway, it drives me bats. I have to skim over anything Lucius says. I shall peruse my copy again and come up with something more intelligent soon.
I think Max is in love/lust with Deborah and although he likes her spirit he wants to be master and win everytime, I am not sure she really likes him certainly not at first. I think he makes her very very angry and not sure her succumbing is entirely believable I see that she would not want arabella involved and would tell him, but that she would sudenly see he was the knightr in shining armour is a bit unbelievable
I think both her and her aunt actually hate gambling, what often happens when out of choice or necessity a hobby becmones a job, agree with mooncup a more realistic view of gambling, not really one of my favourites though the grand sophy is and sophy v charles as well as serana v ivo is believable
Marking place. Thought I'd lost you!
Will read ASAP and jump in. I love the dungeon bit though, and am slightly in love with brother Kit
which is why DS2 was nearly Christopher nn Kit.
(and, ahem, have been very busy re-reading Sylvester along with my new audiobook which Leonie will know about. Have "more GH audio books" on my Christmas list. Richard Armitage isn't a great reader, I have to be honest, but it's a lovely way to consume GH books when the children are around)
Ah man I read this this afternoon - sped through it in under two hours.
Why do I remember Kit as a nice character? He's a bit two-dimensional and feeble. It's probably the red coat.
RIGHT toddler is sleeping
for now, shame he didn't think of that at 4am.
Faro's Daughter is dominantly a novel about money and mercenary power - inasmuch as money==power in the period, which of course it did.
Pride & Prejudice is set in pretty much exactly the same period and every single decision and romance in it is based on money/position/land. It is easier to be sympathetic when we recall that the only women who possess anything are widows - all these blasted guardians and trustees and brothers and husbands control all the money, and therefore the women. Lady Bel has been given charge of her money and throws it all away, so the only option available to her is the gaming house. We hear from Lady Mablethorpe that this decision has put her quite beyond the pale with the ladies of society - although interestingly the gentlemen will still patronise her, if not recognise her in the street. It is so desperately isolating and sad.
On the other hand, the decisions and traps for women because of money are frightening: Phoebe Laxton has to marry to rescue her family from poverty (like the Winwoods as previously discussed) and Arabella Ravenscar has to be careful not to use her fortune to rescue someone else from poverty. It's tremendously hypocritical, it occurs to me, and GH is rightly cynical about it. The transactional nature of so many GH marriages is absolutely explicit (the Rules, the Cardrosses and the Lyntons in particular) and even love matches such as we see in Faro's Daughter are still underpinned by money and transaction. All the women in this novel are for sale.
We also see how money can be mitigation for sin or vulgarity - Sally Something (didn't mark the page, drat) is as badly behaved as Lady Bel, but vastly richer, so she is still received in society, but Lady Bel has not managed to buy her way back in, despite eg the £400 opera box. The appearance of wealth is again so desperately important.
I don't mind that characters are reused (eg Kit being in love with Arabella, Lucius in turn trying to run off with her) because it is rather tighter than having a lot of secondary characters none of whom does very much. I would actually have preferred it to be Ormskirk racing Ravenscar and holding out for Phoebe Laxton as it would have been neater, and also much more interesting re Lady Bel's views on having Phoebe in the house. I think GH does this far better in these later novels, whereas earlier on there were far more loose ends.
I was also taken by the recurrent themes of punishment, debt and revenge. The novel is quite hot on honour and giving one's word, and utterly unforgiving of anyone who breaches those rules. Ravenscar and Deborah are constantly talking about punishing one another for the honour breaches each inflicts on the other, although in fact each misses several prime opportunities to do so. These unwritten rules which seem so old-fashioned now, and probably did to a reasonable extent when GH was writing, are so utterly ingrained in people of this class (because with IIRC three exceptions we read about the Ton only) that it severely constrains their behaviour.
I feel on re-reading that Kit Grantham is a sort of placemarker. GH needs him for the plot, but doesn't take a great deal of care in fleshing him out. He is her standard thoughtlessly but not unkindly selfish young gentleman that we see over and over again. He is honourable and ambitious but not driven.
Finally, some of the bits I chortled at out loud:
So [Deborah] let [Adrian] kiss her, which he did rather inexpertly.
Mrs Patch, the improbable blonde of uncertain years, with a very much painted face, a singularly penetrating voice, and a laugh which made Mablethorpe wince.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Excellent stuff Horatia. I feel nervous about commenting now , but that's never stopped me before.
I think because it's not a Regency novel she allows herself more dramatic licence with the plotting (the kidnapping, Phoebe running away) and also takes the arranged marriages / threat of prostitution further than she would in a novel set later - we're in no doubt that Ormskirk is the most realistic fate for Deb. Actually I think it would have weaker if Ormskirk had also been Phoebe's suitor - it would have made him too much of a mustachio-twirling villain to be attempting to buy a child bride and a mistress simultaneously, and also I think Sir James is meant to be physically repulsive, which Ormskirk isn't. Ormskirk is a realistic threat, and Lady B pines after him as the solution to all their problems, because he's respectable, reasonable, he has a code, he's slightly attractive. There's a sprinkling of these men throughout Heyer - attractive and classy but fundamentally immoral. Sometimes, like Avon and Rule, they get redeemed, sometimes they don't, but they normally don't get any punishment apart from losing the girl.
Plus Filey is (and has to be) too rich for Ravenscar to have won the mortgage off him, so that part of the plot wouldn't work without a major fix.
All this talk of money has made me think - how many Heyer heroes aren't filthy rich? Adam in a Civil Contract of course (though he has to become so in order to have a happy ending). And Charles in Infamous Army. Sherry in Friday's Child (our next book?) Who else?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Yes, they are mostly vair rich. Even those who don't initially seem well off (Hugo in The Unknown Ajax and Miles in Black Sheep) turn out to be rolling in it, in both cases through trade. And even Sherry in Friday's Child has a massive inheritance on the way. A few (eg Carlyon in The Reluctant Widow, and I think Gervase in The Quiet Gentleman) seem to be just reasonably well-off minor nobility, but most heroes are actually idenitified as having masses of loot.
I think it would just seem wrong to have a hero who was going to rely on the heroine for money. Apart from A Civil Contract where of course that's the cornerstone of the plot, and is not 'traditionally romantic' for that reason.
I imagine Ormskirk would have "run" Deb and Phoebe simultaneously - one as a sexy mistress, and one as a dutiful wife. He hints to Ravenscar that that is what he is after. He is only just not ruthless enough not to try to ruin Lady Bel, and that's because other people would have found out, rather than because he thinks it a bad thing per se.
RA is a demi-god so I was bitterly disappointed at his inability to act whilst reading. The voices are awful. I think I miss the very GH-style flashing eyes. Shame he's wearing a false nose in this picture otherwise it would be very swoonsome.
I think the heroes generally are hilariously rich, or certainly by our standards if not their own. Often GH portrays them as attractive/kind/interesting despite their wealth (in fairness, she does the same of women).

I hated Faro's Daughter the first time I read it and skimmed most of it just to get to the end, but I thought I'd give it another shot for this.
I still hated it though, it definitely languishes at the bottom of my GH pile and I can't quite put my finger on why I dislike it so much. It's more than just finding nothing likeable about any of the characters or finding the plot preposterous; there's something about it that feels quite un-GH-like. It seems much clunkier than her usual writing and the laugh out loud funny bits are missing.
Can't wait to start on Friday's Child though....
Friday's Child is absolutely one of my favourites, even though Sherry is such an arse throughout.
Leonie, where's that picture from? DEFINITELY fits the audiobook although his ears are odd.
Have just listened to A Good Read podcast, thanks Leonie. I used to like Peter White, but honestly, anyone who can say that Friday's Child, Devil's Cub and Faro's Daughter have all got the same plot is no longer my friend, pioneering work on disability advocacy or not .
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I think it's just the background. He looks like ... well, like a Hobbit.
Only just found this and haven't reread FD yet. I have gone through phases, loving it to begin with, being amused and yes, titillated by the desire for mastery, and finding Lady B delightful, the antithesis of Caroline Massey. And rather liking Adrian, when I was 16, although Max was obviously the hero by whom one wanted to be mastered.
Then later, just irritated by the sparring. I don't enjoy ivo and Serena much for the same reason now. Or indeed Judith Taverner so much. Kit I never found interesting, but I always wanted to know whom Arabella married.
On the code of honour, yes it has gone. But 20 or so years ago I was involved in something where someone was blackballed from his club and thrown out if his regiment. He committed suicide immediately afterwards. And my own great grandmother's first husband "had a shooting accident", I think he may have been caught cheating at cards. (Had he been found in bed with another woman no one would have cared, another man and there would have been a separation and he would have gone to live on the continent.) So the honour thing rings true to me.
The cod accent is infuriating. But I do find Deb appealing when she implores Max to listen and says men of his stamp are very fascinating. You realise what a very hard life she has had.
I will now go to read it again and see what I think this time.
at Horatia thinking RA looks like a Hobbit. I think you'll find he's more of a dwarf, actually .
This one's better, although the cravat isn't quite right for a GH hero.
Sylvester is my favourite out of the 3 audio GHs he's done. His Venetia sounds nothing like the Venetia in my head, plus the abridging has meant vast swathes have been left out which annoys me as I've read the book so many times I know what's missing, so I've only listened to it the once.
When are we starting Friday's Child? I need to start marking all my favourite bits.

Vandals tag rocks with graffiti at Peggys Cove
CTV Atlantic
Published Wednesday, August 22, 2012 7:15PM ADT
Buildings get tagged with graffiti all the time, but vandals rarely target the rocks at Peggys Cove.
The rocks were painted with graffiti earlier this week and while the paint is mostly gone, the senseless act has left a big impression on those that love Peggys Cove, which sees 500,000 visitors each year.
"You don't go painting national sites," says tourist Rick McManas. "You don't go to John A. MacDonald's gravestone and put your name on it. You don't do that. There's no respect."
Jonathan Gaul is part of a team of painters who are helping to spruce up the site's famous lighthouse.
"We know we're good at putting paint on. We are good at taking paint off too," says Gaul.
Gaul and a few others were seconded to the graffiti zone to scrub away the illegal artwork.
"Graffiti is damage at the best of times, whether it's on buildings or landmarks or rocks in this case," says RCMP Cpl. Scott MacRae.
MacRae says RCMP patrol the area but they can't monitor the site all the time. That has re-ignited the decades-old debate about Peggys Cove becoming a provincial or national park.
That designation would come with increased funding which would in turn help to provide more security personnel. The RCMP will not comment on the issue, but MacRae does admit the more people looking out for the site, the better.
"The more eyes that are on the street, whether they are provincially-owned, federally-owned or private, if people are on the lookout they can give us a call," says MacRae.
Last year a proposal suggested the lighthouse be made part of the Nova Scotia Museum system, a move that would pave the way for admission fees to help pay for seasonal workers.
For now, Peggys Cove remains status quo and police are asking visitors to use caution and to leave their spray cans at home.

20 Ways To Know You're A Crossfitter
1. You understand what acronyms like WOD and AMRAP stand for.
Your non-Crossfit friends look at you weird when you use them too.
2. Counting down backwards from 10 can only mean one thing.
3. You have suffered the lash marks associated with double unders.
Oh don't worry about those streaks up my legs, arms, butt, etc.
4. Box jumps and shins don't always get along.
Did that box just move?
5. Fran can be one mean, mean lady.
If she takes a celebrity trainer to the brink, where will she take you?
6. You're beginning to wonder how many other ways you could possibly "Sally Up."
Your muscles will be singing at the two minute mark.
7. Rich Froning and Annie Thorisdottir aren't human.
How else do you win the Crossfit Games more than once?
8. You know you are a part of a community.
Someone is always there to cheer you on no matter if you are the first or last done.
9. Chalk is your best friend.
Although your hands will inevitably still look like they went through a shredder.
10. Achieving something like a muscle-up or a new PR can make your day.
Mission accomplished.
11. The importance of the right shoe cannot be stressed enough.
Running shoes need not apply. Reebok has the sponsorship, but others work great too.
12. You love that you never do the same thing twice.
Goodbye treadmill. I won't miss you.

You mostly have a hate-hate relationship with them.

"No rep" are the worst words to hear.
16. You have tried Paleo at some point in your life.
Whether it stuck or not is a different story.
17. You can't remember the last time you weren't sore.
No pain, no gain right?
18. You're in the best shape of your life.
Stuff like olympic lifting, rope climbing and tire flipping will do that to a person.
19. You tell EVERYONE you know about Crossfit.
Because lets be honest, we can't shut up about it.
20. When a non-Crossfitter says it's just a fad workout, you KNOW they are wrong.
Once you're hooked, there is no looking back.

England spinner Graeme Swann salutes Kevin Pietersen's innings against India in Mumbai
Graeme Swann has hailed Kevin Pietersen after his innings helped calm England's early nerves against India in Mumbai.
Last Updated: 25/11/12 8:55am
The spin of Swann (4-17) and Monty Panesar (5-129) combined impressively to rattle out the hosts for 327, but England's response looked edgy at 68-2 after the swift demise of Nick Compton and Jonathan Trott.
But the tourists steadied the ship with skipper Alastair Cook (87 not out) and Pietersen (62no) producing an unbroken stand of 110, needing another 149 to level the score.
On the back of their opening Test defeat it was a critical effort at the crease and Swann said: "Kevin showed what a class player he is. We all know how good a player he is.
"It is great to see him being so positive and playing some old-fashioned KP shots. I'm sure he'll be keen to dig in on Sunday, as will Cookie, and make this partnership massive.
"It's very important you don't get to 30 for three, 30 for four, sending shockwaves through the changing room.
"If you get off to a good start, and have guys at the crease who are comfortable, it does have a calming influence.
"Apart from me having my pads on as nightwatchman, it was a very calm changing room."
It was another outstanding effort from Cook who is 13 runs short of his fourth hundred in as many Tests as England skipper to follow up his second-innings 176 in Ahmedabad.
Swann, who earlier passed 200 Test wickets, added: "I said before the series that if Cookie's batting could blossom as a captain, as it did in the one-day arena, we'd be a very lucky team.
"He's batted magnificently in the three innings he's played so far."
And regarding reaching his wicket milestone, the Nottinghamshire off-spinner said: "Five years ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of taking 200 Test wickets.
"I'm absolutely over the moon the way my career has panned out for me."
And with team-mate Panesar weighing in with a five-wicket haul, Swann said: "Monty bowled magnificently. It's great to see, because I'm a big advocate of playing two spinners - I love playing with Monty.
"I just love it when he takes a wicket. That face like a man possessed, when he got Sachin Tendulkar out yesterday, I've never seen a man so wound up in my life as Mont there - it was brilliant."

What NOT to DO on your Social Media!
Before you get out there, you will need a plan or a roadmap. If you don't have a plan, you'll have no way of measuring the benefits of social media. Are you going to use social media to promote your website? Are you searching for new clients or business connections? Will you be trying to engage current clients? Do you want to become an influencer in your field? THESE are the questions that you need to answer before starting a social media campaign.
Success on Social Media will take Time and Effort
Until you have an established online presence, you will not see quick results. The first step is to start making connections with influencers and serving your audience. Becoming a social media mover and shaker takes time and know-how. Don't be too quick to declare that it doesn't work for your business model. Give yourself a little grace to learn how before you throw in the towel. We all have to start somewhere. You will save a lot of heart ache by learning how to engage and use social media.Yes, I'm certain you've heard Rome wasn't built in a day. Remember to keep that in mind as you start your social media marketing strategy.Click To Tweet
Check out what the Competition is Doing
You should set yourself apart from all the noise on social media. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Checkout your competition on social media. See what they are doing right and how you could do it better. Don't be a carbon copy of what's already out there. Be a stand out from the get go! Do it right but do it with an edge! Try bringing something new to the table!
Be Smart with your Social Media Management Team
Hiring a team or individual to run your social media campaign is smart, but be sure they are professionals. Just because a person has a Facebook account, does not mean they know how to market a business on social media. Be certain your social media manager and you are on the same page. Have a plan and make certain that everyone "gets" it!
Put Some Effort into your Profiles
Your Social Media profiles are extremely important. Make certain to reference your company website and have a consistent message across the board. Think about what your fans and followers should know about your company. Use nice photos and graphics and keep everything up to date.
Tell Everyone You're on Social Media
Add social media icons to your website to connect your social profiles on all platforms. Make sure email subscribers know how they can connect with you and include that information in any of your advertisements. Never miss a chance to share your social media profiles with the public. This will increase and grow your following!
Remember Why it's called "Social" Media
One of the biggest things that business owners must learn is the focus should always be on the "social". People are on social media to have fun and to share interesting information. Make sure your social media is a balance of helpful information, fun, and inspiring post. Avoid constant selling and marketing if you intend to develop a following via social media.
Graciously Sharing Content From Others
Sharing useful content from experts in your industry is a great way to meet new people and to be seen as a hub of useful information. This concept is really different from tradition marketing. Normally, You would never help promote the competition but social media is a whole new ball game. It sounds crazy if you've never used this form of social marketing, but it's how social media is done
Respond and Engage with Your Followers Always
respond to comments and questions from your audience. You can't build a following unless you engage with your fan base. Remember, your fans are the life blood of your social media. Fall in love with your e-mail subscribers, Twitter followers, and Facebook fans. Nurture your relationship with them like a parent does with child. Before you know it, the feeling will be mutual. They will love sharing your content and will be recommending their friends and followers buy from you!
Summary of Social Media Tips For Business Owners
To reach your goals, you should be developing products, growing your e-mail list, and making sales. Make every effort to connect in a meaningful way with your followers.Your Social media strategy should complement your marketing activities, not replace it. Being consistent, using your platforms correctly, and having a plan.These are the vital steps to building a successful online business.
What's your plan? What's your pain point? Do you know something important that's not on this list? Share your questions, comments or tips in the comments below!

Friday, January 24, 2014
ABOUT 500 students from the West were among the 1700 students who benefited from Save the Children Fiji's educational assistance program yesterday.
Communications and fundraising co-ordinator David Whippy said the children received stationery packs tailored to their year level.
"The free education assistance allocated in the recent government budget is a large aid for families in Fiji," he said.
"We at Save the Children Fiji commend the government for its continual commitment to education and we have proven this commitment for more than 23 years through our educational assistance program, which supports our underlying mission of making immediate and lasting change for children in Fiji."
Mr Whippy said the organisation's community project "Vuli Taumada Shishak" would come to an end in December.
"One of the main benefits of the project has been its ability to engage the entire community. Also, one of the benefits of this has been the development of effective community engagement and this has allowed for the link between participation in education and a healthy lifestyle and diet."
He said the organisation believed a child's readiness for school was as much about their health and diet as it was about literacy and numeracy.
