A Firmly Set Anchor
Not long ago I had the opportunity to sail on a great ship along the marvelous coast of Alaska, USA. While the captain prepared for the ship's overnight stay in a remote pristine bay, he carefully evaluated the location and circumstances, such as the sequence of the tides, depth of the waters, and distance from dangerous obstacles. When satisfied, he dropped anchor so that the ship would remain safe and firmly anchored, allowing the passengers an opportunity to marvel at the spectacular beauty of God's creations.
As I was looking at the coastline, I began to realize that the ship was drifting almost imperceptibly with the slightest amount of wind and underlying current. Nevertheless, the ship stayed firmly and persistently within a fixed circle defined by the length of the anchor line and the strength of the anchor.
The captain had not kept the anchor stored on the ship, ready to be lowered only if a storm should approach. No, he had anchored the vessel as a preventive measure and protected the ship from moving into unsafe waters or slowly drifting aground while passengers and crew felt safe.
As I was contemplating this scene, it occurred to me that if this wasn't an opportunity for a parable, I had never piloted an airplane.
Why We Need Anchors
The purpose of an anchor is to keep a ship safe and secure at a desired location or to help control the ship during bad weather. However, to accomplish these vital purposes, just having an anchor is not enough. The anchor must be solid, dependable, and used properly at the right time and place.
Individuals and families need anchors as well.
Adversity can come as a great storm to blow us off course and threaten to cast us against the rocks. But sometimes we are also in danger when everything appears to be safe—the winds soft and the waters smooth. In fact, we can be in the greatest danger when we are drifting and movement is so slight that we scarcely notice it.
The Gospel Is Our Anchor
Anchors must be solid, strong, and well maintained to be ready when needed. In addition, they must be attached to a foundation capable of bearing the weight of opposing forces.
Of course, the gospel of Jesus Christ is such an anchor. It was prepared by the Creator of the universe for a divine purpose and designed to provide safety and guidance to His children.
What is the gospel, after all, besides God's plan to redeem His children and bring them back into His presence?
Knowing that it is in the nature of all things to drift, we must firmly set our anchors on the bedrock of gospel truth. They must not be lightly lowered onto the sands of pride or barely touching the surface of our convictions.
This month we have an opportunity to hear from God's servants in a general conference of the Church. Their words, joined with the scriptures and the promptings of the Spirit, provide a secure and steady bedrock foundation of eternal values and principles to which we can attach our anchors so we can remain steadfast and secure amid the struggles and trials of life.
The ancient prophet Helaman taught, "It is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall" (Helaman 5:12).
The Value of Firmly Set Anchors
Life has a way of testing our anchors and tempting us to drift. Nevertheless, if our anchors are correctly placed in the rock of our Redeemer, they will hold—no matter the force of the wind, the strength of the tide, or the height of the waves.
Of course, a ship is not designed to remain stationary in a harbor but rather to raise anchor and sail the seas of life. But that is a parable for another time.
For now, I take comfort in knowing that the anchor of the gospel and the rock of our Redeemer will keep us steady and secure.
Such an anchor will keep us from drifting into danger and misfortune. It will allow us the glorious opportunity to enjoy the incomparable beauties of the ever-changing and sublime scenery of life.
Life is beautiful and worth living. Wind, storm, and prevailing currents may tempt us to drift into dangers seen or unseen, but the gospel message and its divine power will keep us on our path back to the safe harbor of our Heavenly Father.
Let us, therefore, not only listen to the talks of the April general conference but also apply their messages as a firmly set anchor to our daily lives.
May God bless and guide us in this significant and essential endeavor!
Teaching from This Message
Consider discussing the importance of anchors in the context of Lehi's family sailing to the promised land (see 1 Nephi 18). You might point out 1 Nephi 18:11–15, a time when Nephi is bound, the Liahona ceases to work, and the ship is driven by violent storms. What consequences do we face when we are not securely anchored in the gospel? You might also point out 1 Nephi 18:21–22 and discuss how we can find safety by turning to the Savior.
Conference and Me
By Sarah Deeks
The author lives in Toronto, Canada.
I used to think general conference weekend was long and boring, but as time has passed, I have come to love and look forward to it. General conference weekend can be spiritually recharging, but it is easy to let these feelings fade when normal life continues on Monday. Some of the following ideas have helped me continue to get as much from conference as possible.
I prepare myself for conference by writing down questions, and then I make notes as my questions are answered. Afterward, I like to download the conference addresses and music from LDS.org and put them on an MP3 player so I can listen to a talk or hymn as I go about my daily routine. I also love to study the conference issue of the Ensign. I highlight and make notes in the margins of my personal copy. By the time the next conference rolls around, my magazine is well used. My family sometimes studies the messages together in family home evening.
Keeping the spirit we felt during conference with us and continuing to learn from the messages requires work, but doing this has been a great blessing for me. I have received so much strength and guidance in times of need by studying the messages from general conference, and I know that these messages are inspired.

There is a reason for the while loop: after $content is mangled it can match in new and interesting ways (especially as it is unescaping things).
LCrawford (unregistered)
I haven't parsed this, but the while() loop allows for nested PHP markup?
Loren Pechtel (google)
That was my first thought, also--the replacement might add something more that can be replaced.
What really worries me here is what is the source of whatever's being processed here? Is the client in any way involved?
Anaerin (nodebb)
Chances are, they're having to loop the regular expression because it's only catching the outermost instance. So if, for instance, you had (and the regex replaced the tags with square-bracketed versions):Things
The first iteration would give you:
The second would give you:

It is PHP, which doesn't automatically make it bad
From the comments:
As was stated previously, the allocated memory is never released; they are not objects in PHP -- they are just dynamically named global functions -- so they don't have scope and are not subject to garbage collection.
I agree it's not automation making PHP bad as much as some kind of demonic influence to always do the worst possible thing.
Turtle (unregistered)
It is PHP all the way down. That's what "PHP" stands for.
CoyneTheDup (nodebb)
The comment you quoted does not evoke the true horror this feature. This does, quoted from the same manual page:
Mine ended up in an iteration over ~1 million records and quickly exhasted my 500MB-per-process limit.
See if you run that code in a loop, every cycle creates a new Anonymous function that consumes memory that can never be reclaimed. The creator of create_function is truly evil, also demented.
Lucio Crusca (unregistered)
Unfortunately yes, the $content parameter was coming straight and not sanitized from a client side editor panel...
siciac (unregistered)
Maybe they thought they could fix it the way this comment suggested:
<?php function create_lambda($args, $code) { static $func; if (!isset($func[$args][$code])) { $func[$args][$code] = create_function($args, $code); } return $func[$args][$code]; }```

Many many sins in PHP's development were committed with the excuse that a process that exists to serve a single web page wouldn't be running for very long anyway.

You got it almost right. It's "PHP Horrible Programs".

As the number of GM's production Gen III/IV V-8s proliferates, there's been a corresponding explosion in the number and variety of engine parts released to the public. Generally, they are interchangeable, but there are significant differences, too. And while General Motors and GM Performance Parts have done an admirable job getting crate-engine versions of production motors to market, there's plenty of room for the enterprising engine builder to mix and match from GM's parts bins to build unique, powerful, and-believe it or not-value-driven combinations.
Of course, "value-driven" shouldn't be confused with "cheap," but in the realm of relativity, value can easily be assessed when judged against, say, the list price for an LS7 crate engine. For reference, the LS7 displaces 427 cubic inches (really, it's closer to 428, but who's counting ...) and is rated at 505 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. It also runs about $13,000 over the counter from your friendly neighborhood dealership parts guy-who'll be even friendlier when you order one.
Closer to reality for most enthusiasts are the production-based crate engines, such as the aluminum-block LS2 and the iron-block 6.0-liter engines found in seemingly zillions of GM trucks. These typically run between $3,500 and $5,500, making them good values for those who want to simply drop it in and go.
The engine combination outlined in this story is based on the truck-based 6.0L (364 cubic inches) LQ4 bottom end with a set of new L92 cylinder heads and a four-barrel carburetor. The L92 heads have tremendous airflow for off-the-shelf parts and are a performance bargain from GM Performance Parts. The engine dyno-tested to the tune of 480 horsepower with GM's Hot Cam and a whopping 540 horsepower with the General's racing-derived Showroom Stock camshaft.
And the price for all this glory? About $4,300-that's LS7 power territory for about a third of the price. Yeah, it seems like a value to us, too, and it would have been even cheaper if we hadn't bought two camshafts.
The impetus for the engine came from Bob Cross, a Michigan-based enthusiast who is very familiar with all of GM's latest engine offerings. The engine was destined for a '51 Chevy truck project, and Bob enlisted the help of his nephew Steve Marsa and his friend Cliff Urmanic, who performed the assembly. Dyno testing was done independently at a Flint, Michigan-based performance shop.
Affordable, Easy-To-Build Combo
Building Gen III and Gen IV (alias LS) engines is remarkably easy and time-efficient; only four socket sizes are required to disassemble the engine: 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, and 15mm. Most of the bolts are interchangeable, too, so there's no fumbling with different-size bolts. They also use "dry" gaskets (no liquid, RTV-type sealers), and with their crank-triggered ignition systems, setting engine timing is as easy as plugging in the ignition controller.
The starting point for our value-driven 6.0-liter engine was a used LQ4 engine purchased for only $350. Most of the rest of the parts used to build up the engine were sourced from the GM Performance Parts catalog.
The L92 aluminum cylinder heads were the big enablers of the engine's admirable dyno results. They're the same heads used currently on the 6.2-liter-powered Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon Denali, but they are similar to the heads used on the Corvette Z06's LS7 engine. The have huge runners, 2.165-inch/1.600-inch valves, and flow a whopping 310-320 cfm on the intake side at 0.600-inch lift on the top end. They list for $399 apiece-pretty cheap for such a high-flowing aluminum head, in our opinion.
A stock LQ4 engine's heads have 71cc combustion chambers, giving a compression ratio of about 9.4:1. The L92 heads have smaller 68cc chambers, which bumps compression with the LQ4's stock dished pistons to about 10:1, making the combination safe for pump gas.
Using a carburetor with the L92 would have been almost impossible a couple of years ago, but GM Performance Parts recently released an aluminum intake manifold that fits the heads' unique angle and rectangular port shape. After that it's simply a matter of picking the right four-barrel; there's even a version with cast-in bosses for nitrous or EFI.
To complete the more traditional, carbureted appearance for the engine, the ignition coil packs, which are usually mounted on the valve covers, were relocated to the rear of the engine with a scratchbuilt bracket with Marsa and Urmanic-made 1-inch stock and 3/16-inch tube spacers. Other assembly details included the fabrication of a replacement valley tray designed to eliminate the need for breathers in the valve covers. The tray was made from aluminum stock, with a breather welded to the front for easy access, along with the PCV valve located at the rear of the tray. These custom touches allowed the great-looking Chevrolet-script valve covers from GM Performance to show without the unsightly coils or breathers.
Hot Cam vs. Showroom Stock Cam
From the outset, the plan was to test the engine's performance on the engine dyno with both GM's Hot Cam (part number 12480033) and Showroom Stock cam (part number 88958606). The Showroom Stock cam delivers more lift-0.570 inch versus 0.525 inch-and duration-239/251 degrees versus 219/228 degrees-than the Hot Cam. With the L92 heads' tremendous airflow capability, we figured the Showroom Stock cam would deliver big dividends. It did.
On the dyno, the Hot Cam-equipped combo had a total timing of 32 degrees and delivered 471 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 417 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. The Showroom Stock cam put up the big numbers, posting a best of 506 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and just a hair less than 437 lb-ft of torque at 5,400 rpm. By the way, the Showroom Stock cam requires relief notches in the piston, which we anticipated and had cut into the pistons prior to assembly.
But the peak numbers don't tell the whole story. The Hot Cam is the perfect street cam. It has that "idle lope" that everyone wants at 800 rpm but has broad horsepower and torque bands, making it great for propelling a musclecar or hot rod. The Showroom Stock cam is a beast. It idles at 1,400 rpm and has a definitive race-cam sound. It is a wicked cam for a street engine and requires some more compression, a rear gear, and a higher-stall torque converter to make the most of its potential. But boy, it sounds awesome when it's idling at 1,400 rpm.
In the end, Marsa and Urmanic decided to go with the Hot Cam as the final combination. It should prove to be a great street performer, and more than that, it should give these creative engine builders the satisfaction of building a powerful and affordable new-age small-block.

An irresistible follow up to yesterday's poem...
(Poem #594) Overheard on a Salmarsh
Nymph, nymph, what are your beads? Green glass, goblin. Why do you stare at them? Give them me. No. Give them me. Give them me. No. Then I will howl all night in the reeds, Lie in the mud and howl for them. Goblin, why do you love them so? They are better than stars or water, Better than voices of winds that sing, Better than any man's fair daughter, Your green glass beads on a silver ring. Hush, I stole them out of the moon. Give me your beads, I want them. No. I will howl in the deep lagoon For your green glass beads, I love them so. Give them me. Give them. No.
Today's delightfully whimsical poem calls for little explanation - I just like the image of a goblin and a nymph squabbling over a handful of green glass beads. This is a genre of poetry that I loved as a child, both for its playfulness and for the unexpected directions it would take my imagination, and age has done little to diminish its appeal. And 'Overheard on a Salmarsh' is an excellent example of the genre - simple, but startlingly evocative; indeed I was surprised at how few words it took to conjure up a detailed mental picture (doubtless straight out of an illustration to a book of fairy tales, but then, that was probably precisely the intended effect). The language too is that perfect mixture of the fairy-tale and the poetic that reaches out to children without in any way condescending to them. And this is truly a poem to be read aloud - try it and see how the rhymes, the metre, the interspersed voices all come together in an utterly captivating narrative. Note: I believe Salmarsh to be a corruption of saltmarsh (a sea-flooded marsh), but can't confirm this. Can anyone shed some light on the issue? Biography: Harold Monro The publisher of the various anthologies of Georgian Poetry, Harold Monro, was born in Brussels in 1879. He describes himself as "author, publisher, editor and book-seller." Monro founded The Poetry Bookshop in London in 1912, a unique establishment having as its object a practical relation between poetry and the public, and keeping in stock nothing but poetry, the drama, and books connected with these subjects. His quarterly Poetry and Drama (discontinued during the war and revived in 1919 as The Monthly Chapbook), was in a sense the organ of the younger men; and his shop, in which he has lived for the last seven years except while he was in the army, became a genuine literary center. Of Monro's books, the two most important are Strange Meetings (1917) and Children of Love (1919). "The Nightingale Near the House," one of the loveliest of his poems, is also one of his latest and has not yet appeared in any of his volumes. -- http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/poetry/poems/harold_monro.html On Georgian Poetry: a variety of lyrical poetry produced in the early 20th century by an assortment of British poets, including Lascelles Abercrombie, Hilaire Belloc, Edmund Charles Blunden, Rupert Brooke, William Henry Davies, Ralph Hodgson, John Drinkwater, James Elroy Flecker, Wilfred Wilson Gibson, Robert Graves, Walter de la Mare, Harold Monro (editor of The Poetry Review), Siegfried Sassoon, Sir J.C. Squire, and Edward Thomas. Brooke and Sir Edward Marsh, wishing to make new poetry accessible to a wider public, with Monro, Drinkwater, and Gibson, planned a series of anthologies. To this series they applied the name "Georgian" to suggest the opening of a new poetic age with the accession in 1910 of George V. Five volumes of Georgian Poetry, edited by Marsh, were published between 1912 and 1922. (See Marsh, Sir Edward Howard.) The real gifts of Brooke, Davies, de la Mare, Blunden, and Hodgson should not be overlooked, but, taken as a whole, much of the Georgians' work was lifeless. It took inspiration from the countryside and nature, and in the hands of less gifted poets, the resulting poetry was diluted and middlebrow conventional verse of late Romantic character. "Georgian" came to be a pejorative term, used in a sense not intended by its progenitors: rooted in its period and looking backward rather than forward. -- EB [Which is sad - at their best, poets like Flecker, Brooke and indeed Monro were anything but lifeless. I have personally found considerable enjoyment in leafing through collections of Georgian poetry. -m.] Links: Some poems similar in theme or mood: poem #252, poem #312. and, of course, yesterday's poem #593. We've run several other poems by Georgian poets - see the index at [broken link] http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/index_poet.html -martin

As we walked the trail, the thought came to my mind that we were in "Nature's House". I studied poetry in college and sometimes it comes back to me. Not like it used to. I used to think in poems all the time, but when I got into the business world, that kind of went away.
I chalk that up to not being immersed in a creative workshop (as I was in college) and instead being immersed in the business world. I like when that poetic thinking comes back to me. To me that means that this part of me is still there, just kind of dormant for now.
Even a day hike is a lovely respite for my mind. Taking in the quiet and just noticing all the small details. Like this expanse of maple tree seedlings. I was really amazed with nature's abundance when I saw this.
Or this bit of a tree covered in moss that looked like a hand. "Nature's hand," I thought to myself.
Or this area where the dune and forest meet.
Some people need to travel the world to see things, but I am a firm believer that you can see quite a bit right in your own "backyard". Not that I am against travel in the least. But I'm all for being a tourist in your own town. It's amazing to me how many people rush through life and don't notice what's going on right beside them.
That's what a walk in the woods reminds me of.

LEHI, Utah – Real Salt Lake have acquired Brazilian forward Paulo Araujo Jr. on a loan agreement from Miami FC of the USSF D-2 for the remainder of the 2010 season, the club announced on Thursday.
The 21-year-old Paulo Jr. joined Miami FC a year ago, and had a successful 2010 season with a team-high eight goals and four assists to go along with his 18 starts. Paulo Jr. also is the joint leading scorer of this year's US Open Cup tournament – his five goals in three games are even with Seattle's Nate Jaqua.
Paulo Jr. is available for selection for RSL's match on Thursday night against those Sounders at Qwest Field. He will occupy the last of Salt Lake's five international slots.
The announcement comes on the heels of a hamstring injury to forward Fabian Espindola, and Wednesday's recognition by Coach Jason Kreis that the injury may have been at least partially related to "overuse."
"We are excited to add a forward like Paulo to give us as many options up top as possible as we push through our congested schedule of CONCACAF and League games at the end of our season," said RSL general manager Garth Lagerwey in a statement.
With a busy schedule of league and international play coming up during the final two months of the season, Paulo Jr.'s arrival could prove to be timely.

Recorded only a few months ago and released in time for some recent International Pop Overthrow gigs, Magatha Trysty's three-song self-titled CD does an admirable job of introducing this Chicago quartet. The husband and wife team of vocalist-keyboards player Catherine Bevard and vocalist-guitarist Christopher Bevard anchor a sound that falls somewhere between melodic power pop and cutting edge indie rock. Drummer Holly Anne Rose and bassist Matt Sobczyk provide energetic support.
On "Be Safe," Magatha Trysty comes across like a coed R.E.M., as the Bevards weave their vocals within a melodic guitars and keyboards arrangement. The approach is also reminiscent of L.A. punk pioneers X, or the lesser known coed band Trona, who released the impressive Red River on Roadrunner Records in 1998. "Our Blue Harlem" features the band in a more introspective mode while "Printer's Row" has a raw, almost punk feel that's fueled by some searing guitar. The Bevards' tandem vocals are particularly impressive, giving the song added texture.

Bruce Springsteen Joins Bob Seger at Madison Square Garden Concert
Bob Seger seemed like the happiest man on the planet while introducing Bruce Springsteen during his set at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Thursday night. The New Jersey native made the drive over to sing 'Old Time Rock N' Roll' with his long time friend.
Rolling Stone reporter Andy Greene says the performance was their first together in over 30 years. Springsteen ripped off two lengthy guitar solos and added the second verse while joining Seger during the chorus. Kids on Christmas morning couldn't match the 'Night Moves' singer's excitement.
Looking something like Jerry Garcia, Seger showed the endearing everyman quality that fans have come to love, even if his dance moves were far more middle-aged dad than rock star.
The 66-year-old is barely taking a break from the road for the holidays. He'll play in Philadelphia on Saturday, and has eight more shows before Christmas. Then he's back on the road Dec. 28 in Los Angeles. This is the second Springsteen cameo in recent weeks. In November he appeared backstage at a Taylor Swift concert in Raleigh, N.C.

Backcountry Access (BCA) has issued a recall on its popular Float series avalanche airbag backpack systems sold during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons. Sold through backcountry ski stores and snowmobile shops throughout western Canada, the Float has a "trigger system" that deploys an inflatable airbag to help keep a backcountry skier or sledder afloat in the event of an avalanche.
The safety announcement details that on a "few number of packs that the E-clip that holds the cable assembly together can accidentally become dislodged while connecting or disconnecting the compressed air cylinder. If this happens, the pack may not deploy properly. While the probability of this occurring is extremely low ... it is best to replace the entire assembly."
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Recall notice issued for Float airbag packs Back to video
This trigger update includes the Float 30, 18, 36, 22, 32 and Throttle. The Float 30 with T-handle is not included. Any Float packs received after July 1, 2013 are also not affected. The upgraded trigger assembly is standard on all 2013-2014 airbags and utilizes a hex crimp instead of an E-clip as a retention solution.
BCA has Float Trigger Upgrade Kits in stock in at warehouses in both the US and Canada. Each location will be able to directly assist customers with this upgrade. It is not necessary for customers to send their packs in to retailers to have the upgrade installed.

Lindsay Lohan has clearly had a tumultuous past few months.
And while the Mean Girls starlet continues to direct the blame elsewhere, pal Claus Hjelmbak, who was present the night Lohan alleges she was assaulted at the W Hotel, tells E! News that "she's not in a good place."
"But it's not because of health issues," he clarified. "She's not in a good place, because people around her keep throwing her under the bus."
According to Hjelmbak, Christian LaBella, who Lohan accused of assault (he was released from police custody, charges were dropped and police say no crime was committed), didn't know Hjelmbak or Lohan before that night. So how'd he become part of their group? "Lindsay is a sweet girl and is very open and nice when people come over and talk," he explained. "In this case, she thought it was somebody her friends know."
Hjelmbak says everything was normal until Lohan noticed LaBella had been taking photos of her on his cell phone. "She was visibly shaken already at that point," he explained. "She was shocked. At that moment, you feel betrayed when you are in a private space and you realize someone has documented the entire night on the phone."
After that was when the alleged altercation happened. Hjelmbak said there were no drugs involved, and he was unsure if Lohan had even had "a drink or two."
So what does Lohan's pal think we should do to help get the 26-year-old actress back to a good place? "Look at her art," he said. "And stop focusing so much on her private life. That would be a big help to her getting back to a really good place."

As President Obama weighs a strike on Syria, he will meet with military advisers, consult with allies, talk with congressional leaders and perhaps check the opinion polls.
As President Obama weighs a strike on Syria, he will meet with military advisers, consult with allies, talk with congressional leaders and perhaps check the opinion polls.
But before he sends Americans into another war, I suggest one more activity: Return to Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery.
This is where those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan lie at Arlington. These fallen warriors, buried alongside those who served in earlier conflicts, have filled 25 rows since the first arrived in early 2002.
Obama, admirably, stopped at Section 60 on Memorial Day this year after visiting the Tomb of the Unknowns. I visited later in the day, as I had many times before. There is no better way for those in the capital to picture the consequences of our wars.
I went back to Section 60 this week and saw that a couple of rows - about 50 graves - had been added since Obama's Memorial Day visit. Happily, few of the dead were killed in combat, a sign of the fading conflicts. Sadly, not a single burial of an active-duty warrior has been open to the media since Memorial Day. This is because either all the families declined to have the heroism of their kin noted publicly or (my suspicion) cemetery officials are discouraging the families from admitting reporters. That's what the Bush administration did as part of an effort to sanitize the Iraq War.
In Section 60, I surveyed the temporary grave markers and the fresh stones that have appeared since about the time the president visited. Here are a few of the heroes he would encounter now:
Twenty-six-year-old Corey Edwin Garver died June 23 in Afghanistan's Paktia province, on the Pakistan border. The Maine native, an Army infantry sergeant, was killed by an improvised explosive device.
Warrant Officer Sean W. Mullen, a 39-year-old special-forces soldier, was killed by an IED in an insurgent attack June 2 in Helmand province, Afghanistan. His posthumous Bronze Star was his third. His death notice says he liked reading, hunting, collecting antique guns, renovating old Jeeps and, with his wife, rescuing stray dogs.
James Groves III, buried May 1, probably would have had a temporary grave marker when Obama last visited. According to the Dayton Daily News, Groves ran in the Marine Corps Marathon in October and, while in town, toured Arlington and told his wife he wanted to be buried there if he died in combat. He was killed when the helicopter he was piloting crashed near Kandahar. The chief warrant officer left a wife and two sons.
Another headstone to rise since Obama's visit is that of Staff Sgt. Eric D. Christian of Marines special forces. The 39-year-old from Warwick, N.Y., and a colleague were killed by one of the Afghan National Army soldiers they were training.
There are fresh stones, too, for the Army sergeant who died in Bagram in June in a noncombat incident, the ordnance disposal technician who survived a horrific explosion in Iraq only to die in a car crash at home, and the soldier who earned a Purple Heart in Afghanistan and apparently took his own life at home. These new arrivals join Lt. Col. John Darin Loftis, the father of two daughters who was killed in an attack on the Afghan interior ministry and buried at the end of March.
A few open graves in Section 60 were covered with plywood and artificial turf, awaiting occupants. As I walked among the recent graves, a group of Marines, in blue and gold T-shirts, arrived to pay respects to fallen comrades. A cemetery worker was tamping the earth.
There were flower arrangements at every 10th grave or so. Helium balloons decorated the grave of a soldier who would have turned 24 last week. Scattered about were other mementos: a framed Bronze Star citation, a chip from Spanky's Lounge in Jacksonville, Fla., and a handwritten card to a young man who died last year: "I miss you more than you can imagine, my son." As I prepared to leave, I heard a rifle volley and taps from a distant burial.
Now, as Obama prepares for a possible military action in Syria, he's facing a choice of a minimal strike that will achieve little, or greater involvement that would be costlier and still may not work. He's sure to be criticized either way, but that doesn't matter. What matters is whether the prospects for success in Syria justify filling more rows of Section 60.

Situated in the heart of Europe just outside the city of Frankfurt, Taunus Hills Nature Park is one of the region's biggest tourist attractions.
Extending over six regional districts, Taunus Hills Nature Park is the second-biggest reserve in Hessen and in 2012, it celebrated its 50th anniversary. Diversity is the hallmark of the Taunus Hills Nature Park. Few areas are so varied, from the slopes of the Upper Taunus via the ridge of the range and towards the north, from the skyscraper skyline of the banking city of Frankfurt to the beauty of the Weiltal valley, and from the reconstructed Roman fort at Saalburg to the tranquillity of the river Lahn. The reserve enjoys excellent public transport connections, with a special train, the Taunusbahn, running from Frankfurt central station right into the reserve itself. For tourists intending to visit the reserve, the Taunus Information Centre (TIZ) in the town of Oberursel is a useful starting point. Located at the 'gateway to the Taunus' where the ascent to the highest peak, the Feldberg, begins, the centre houses a tourist information service, exhibition and a restaurant, the Waldtraudt. The nature park has thus become a model for others of its kind, hosting a diversity of not just flora and fauna but of landscapes, people and attractions.

Understanding the reasoning behind a leap year can be perplexing with the way calendars have evolved through the centuries.
Understanding the reasoning behind a leap year can be perplexing with the way calendars have evolved through the centuries. The year 2008 is a leap year, which means that it has 366 days instead of the usual 365. Years with 365 days in it are refereed to as common years. An extra day is added in a leap year called an intercalary day or a leap day. This occurs on the last day in February. The leap year was introduced to align the Earth's rotation around the sun with the seasons. It takes approximately 365.2422 days – or to be precise, 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds – for the Earth to travel around the sun in one year. A solar year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun. Since the Earth does not rotate around the sun in exactly 365 days, a leap year was inserted to align the seasons with the months. About every four years, the Gregorian calendar, the calendar that is currently in use in the United States, is given one extra day to account for the additional time the Earth requires to travel around the sun. It may not seem like much of a difference, but after a few years those extra quarter days in the solar year begin to add up. Using a calendar with 365 days every year would result in a loss of 0.2422 days or almost six hours per year. After four years, the four extra quarter days would make the calendar fall behind the solar year by about a day. Over the course of a century, the difference between the solar year and the calendar year would be about 25 days. The Gregorian calendar has a number of weaknesses despite it's widespread use. It cannot be divided into equal halves or quarters, the number of days per month is haphazard and months or even years may begin on any day of the week. The Gregorian calendar is also off by 27 seconds every year, which produces one extra day every 3,236 years. Prior to adoption of the Gregorian calendar ordered by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, the Julian calendar was widely used. The Julian calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. In the Gregorian calendar, the calendar used by most modern countries, certain criteria must be met to determine which years will be leap years. Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year. Of those years, if it can be divided by 100, it is not a leap year unless the year is divisible by 400. In ancient times, it was customary to have lunar or moon calendars, with 12 or 13 months every year. To align the calendar with the seasons, the 13th month was inserted as a "leap month" every two or three years. Many countries, especially those in Asia, still use lunar calendars. The cycles of the sun and moon do not synchronize well. A lunar year consists of 12 lunar cycles that are each 29 and a half days long and is 354 days, 8 hours long. After three years, a lunar calendar would deviate from the solar calendar by 33 days. The Gregorian calendar has a 400-year cycle until it repeats the same weekdays for every year, Feb. 29, 2008, is a Friday and Feb. 29, 2408, is a Friday. The Gregorian calendar has 97 leap years during those 400 years. The longest time between two leap years is eight years. The last time that occurred was between 1896 and 1904. The next time will be between 2096 and 2104. The information sited in this story was collected from www.infoplease.com and www.timeanddate.com. Lake Sun Leader

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University will add softball as a varsity sport as announced on Monday by Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Kevin White.
In addition, Duke will increase the number of available scholarships for women's fencing, rowing, women's swimming and diving and women's track and field to provide each program with the maximum limit allowed by the NCAA.
"Duke University is fully committed to providing the most complete educational and athletic opportunities for women," said White. "Adding both softball and new scholarships will enhance and enrich the collective experiences for female student-athletes.

It was my boy Bruce Venture's birthday and I wanted to get him with a little treat. So I took him to the loft and basically hooked him up with NinaElle for the afternoon. She was super fucking sexy, I met her at the local crossfit by the crib. Nina was always inviting me over for sessions and telling me to stretch her out. But I decided what the hell, its Bruce's birthday, what are friends for right? Well, after seeing Nina he was hooked. Beautiful blond with amazing curves and huge breasts, Nina was heaven sent. She was waiting for him on all 4's waiting to get that pussy workout! All I know is, Bruce fucking owes me!

Yes, we also do non-marine and, yes, we like to call it that way... In fact, it is rather easy to say what "non-marine" stands for - it is all kind of insurance, which could not be classified as "marine" or "aviation". Being a full service company, we will not hesitate to give our clients a helping hand on all their insurance covers, whether you are talking about a tiny compulsory motor TPL policy or comprehensive property and business interruption insurance solution. With our natural habit to divide anything into classes, we would rather divide non-marine into six sections as follows:

Cooper Magic Carry Folio with Shoulder Strap for Alcatel One Touch Tab 7 HD
Cooper Cases
Having a shoulder strap on your tablet case is an upgrade you won't want to live without once you've tried it. For many it may be the missing link between using the tablet at home and taking it outdoors. Carrying a bag just to put the tablet in is a bit of overkill (and an extra few pounds your purse & shoulder could do without). The Magic Carry has many faces, it can be your lifesaver in the office, around the home or even on a road trip. Simply secure the velcro strap around the headrest and enjoy the silence as your kids tune in to an episode of Spongebob in the backseat. The helpful hand strap is great for when you're going to be using the tablet in-hand a lot and a nice PU leather finish gives it an impressive skin you'll want to show proudly.
- Universally designed to fit tablets in the 7-8" range, including Alcatel One Touch Tab 7 HD
- Detachable shoulder strap with adjustable length takes a load off carrying your tablet
- Two position shoulder strap can be used in either portrait or landscape mode
- Elastic hand strap helps make activities like reading, watching or entering data much more comfortable while securing it from drops and fumbles
- You can strap it to the back of your car's headrest for some on-the-go backseat entertainment
- Comes with Velcro cradle "lock" to stop it from dangling while the tablet is in use
- Stands at 3 angles convenient for every type of activity: sitting, standing, typing or viewing at a distance
- Stretchy elastic claws hold tablet tightly in place to make sure your device is cared for
- Lovely PU leather finish for premium feel and texture
- 7 - 8" size
- Claws expand from min. 3.9" to max 6.3" inches in width
- Claws expand from min. 7.1" to max 8.7" inches in height
Stretch plastic claws over each corner of the tablet to install device. Fold cover over and slide left or right hand into elastic strap to carry around while using. Clip in the strap for portrait or landscape mode by selecting links on the top or the side of the case.

Hello my fellow good people of the Galaxy and this forum!
I am proud to announce I will be hosting the next community tournament. I will give you the layout, as most has not been changed with the tournament but I gotta leave some Hash in this tourney
I have not yet decided on a date since EU will be releasing soon. I want to give enough time for them and let us pass the holidays around the corner. - UPDATE Satu rday January 23rd 2016 at 12:00pm Central Time Zone
This can give all of us enough time to work on some champions and max them out plus new champs, should be 4 or 5 new champions before the tournament!
Here are some RULES:
~ No duplicate champions on same team, however, there can be multiple of a champion in one game (1 per team)
~ All badges and workouts are available to use at this time.
~Tournament will be best of 3 games. (First team to 2 wins)
~Each team will consist of a minimum of 4 player and a maximum of 6 players (2 subs)
~Each team will need a captain that will be in charge of communicating decisions to me, such as team roster, team name, game mode and bans in the matches themselves.
~Teams will be decided on whoever wants to team together. So communicate and figure that out. That being said just like the last tournament for those who are more solo at this time, there will be a thread created for you to find a group to participate.
~The captain or a team member for each team will be required to stream their game in order for refs to be able to watch the game for fair play and to be streamed for the community to see. Please label your stream title to your team name.
How will teams que up against each other?
We will use practice mode and have both team que up at the same time until they get into the same match.
Bans and Game Mode will be done verbally before queing up due to short pick times in game.
The Bracket will be set up using http://challonge.com/
Seeds will be randomly generated.
Exploiting bugs during a tournament is considered illegal and will result in an automatic loss.
This will work just like the last tournament, I believe that it worked out well.
Coin toss to decide who goes first (Coin toss will be decided using https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/33532/#fullscreen)
Ban = Neither team can play said character.
Team1:1 Ban
Team2:1 Ban
Bans will be round based.
How will this work?
The host will join up on each team separately to figure out round ban and game mode. Then the host will explain the champion challenge which will be picked by the host and give a player a chance to pick that champion during a round to be drawn in a chance for an extra code for completing the challenge.
Both teams as well as one tourney mod will join in a private party chat using the PS4 Party function. Only team captains and the mod will be allowed to speak.
Other team members must communicate to team using another method (group messaging using PS4 for example).
The two team captains, will listen for the tourney host set and go to que up for match.
If for some reason one team plays a banned character by mistake or for any other reason. They will suffer a lose for the round.
With a switch up of game modes I will be adding some Hash flavor.
First Game Mode will be Conquest. The loser of the first match will then be able to pick the next match game mode. In turn, the loser of the second match gets their pick of a game mode.
First and foremost all applicants have to be a member of the PSN community: Hashky Trans-Galactic Elite
How to join community, its very very simple.
To join community on PSN!
Steps: ( because play station didn't include a search feature yet.. )
1. Add me on PSN ( name: TheHashAssassin )
2. Go to friends list, on the left go to communities.
3. Friends communities.
4. Find "Hashky Trans-Galactic Elite" and join.
If you can't find it, message me via PlayStation ill send you an invite.
After you and all your team members are in the community
Follow the below step:
Team Sign Ups
Please send all application to my email: firstname.lastname@example.com It works easier for me, I will then verify all members are in the community and post that you have been registered to the bracket page when it is set up!
Also I will post on this thread, saying you're team name has been registered alongside your mates!
Team Name:
Sub1: (optional)
Sub2: (optional)
No player can play for more than one team! So choose teams carefully.
Prizes, Because a tournament would not be nearly as fun if we didn't win something
All Packs that are rewarded are given to us by Kiz Studios themselves! Be sure to thank them! (Thanks so much guys.)
Only members that participated in at least 2 full game matches themselves will receive rewards. (if double elimination)(Subs do not get rewards unless they actually sub in for a member.)
If it is double elimination Subs will have to sub in for two matches (not rounds "full games") in order to receive rewards.
The tournament will be single elimination if there are more than 10 teams. Otherwise it will be double elimination.
Participants that do not place will be rewarded a small welcoming pack. If you have already received one from the stream, unfortunately you can not receive another.
Added something new, I will be giving out my personal codes I have received from the stream to give out to players who participate in my champion challenge during the tournament. Players who play a hand picked champion by me will be entered into a drawing for a code. (I will let you know which champions are available in my challenge before the games start!)
3rd Place: 110 Chip Pack
2nd Place: 770 Chip Pack.
1st place: 1400 chip pack
I am really excited to be hosting a tourney, I had placed 2nd in the last tournament with the Team Stay Free.
Due to EU time-zones I will have to make it fair for each player. I will most likely do this on a Sat ur day around 10 or 11 am. Let me know what you all think. EU is 6-9 hours ahead of me so we all have to factor in that.
Having a co-host will help the matches go smoother and faster. 2 matches at a time will make the tournament not feel like an all day event. If you would like to co host I'll make sure you are awarded.
Thank you all for your support and feedback as I have been talking about this for a couple days now.

Events Calendar
- This event has passed.
Mindfulness-Based Meditation group
May 20, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Monday, repeating indefinitely
This group will provide a space for individuals interested in deepening their meditation practice within a supportive recovery sangha (community). Practicing meditation with a sangha can promote consistency with our individual home practice and enhance our inner sight (insight) by sharing our direct and present experience internal with others. The facilitator will guide meditation practices, and participants will also have the opportunity to guide meditations for the group. After meditation sessions, the group will debrief about what they noticed during their practice. Meditations practiced in this group will follow the most recent topic discussed in the Mindfulness-Based Recovery Group, however, participation in the Mindfulness-Based Recovery Group is not required to attend this group.
This group is for anyone in recovery interested in developing a meditation practice. No prior experience with mediation is required. All are welcome!
