High-Fiber Recipes for a Slimmer, Healthier You
Rising temperatures call for quick and easy recipes that keep you cool and refreshed, but making healthy choices about what you eat is just as important—especially during swimsuit season. Luckily, with summer right around the corner, you'll find plenty of garden-fresh selections that can satisfy your taste buds without sacrificing your waistline.
Foods that are high in fiber such as fruit and vegetables are typically low in calories but add plenty of bulk to the diet, in turn helping you feel full longer after each meal. Plus, fiber-rich foods help slow digestion and keep blood sugar levels in check, so you're less likely to experience those in-between cravings that can lead to overeating. And if that's not enough, research has also shown that fiber can help eliminate calories from your diet by absorbing calories from foods already consumed and "flushing" them out of the body with each healthy bowel movement—talk about a powerful weight loss tool!
So as you're getting ready to head to a Memorial Day barbeque, bring along one of these cool summer salads or serve up some mouthwatering mango sorbet. Rest assured—it's one indulgence that doesn't come with a side of guilt.

1 head red leaf lettuce, chopped
1 head romaine, chopped

The FBI today released an in depth timeline on the travels of Serial Killer Israel Keyes.
According to FBI agents Keyes' travels were extensive and cross country.
The reason behind the released timeline is to help identify more victims of Keyes.
At this point the FBI says that 11 victims have been confirmed by Keyes including a Vermont Couple and Anchorage Barista Samantha Koenig, whose murder led to Keyes' capture in Texas.
His victims, according to FBI Officials spread across nearly 15 years and included both rape and murder.
Also in the timeline are new details into Keyes' methods which Keyes' discussed with investigators before committing suicide in his jail cell in December of 2012.
The Newscenter spoke to FBI Special Agent Eric Gonzalez who said, "When it comes to Keyes, he really didn't have any preference when it comes to the victims. They were more victims of opportunity and it's the most comprehensive timeline to date."
Regarding the timeline Gonzalez said, "It has everything that the FBI has and the reason we're releasing is in the hopes of identifying other possible victims of Keyes. At this point the investigation is 100% about locating victims and bringing some closure to some families out there."
Anyone information on Keyes or his crimes is asked to call the Bureau at 1–800–CALL–FBI.

Could the NFL actually have some competition soon?
2/1/12 in NFL | Pat | 5232 respect
According to some plans uncovered by Deadspin, the Spring Professional Football League is the latest league to attempt to provide some non-NFL competition. According to their plans, they should be up and running within a few months, and could give football fans a chance to enjoy their favorite sport while the NFL is enjoying their offseason.
I'm never confident about leagues like this, but I think this one has some serious potential, for a few reasons.
For starters, they're not trying to compete with the NFL at all. They're planning on running a league in the Spring, as their name implies, so they won't be crossing into the NFL or even NCAA season.
Also, they have some serious brainpower behind the operation, with former XFL and NFL Europe personnel. These aren't random millionaires who want to start up a league with their buddies. These are guys who know the ropes at least a little bit, and know what it takes to succeed (or fail).
They've analyzed each of the previous failed football leagues (XFL, UFL, USFL and NFL Europe) and are working on avoiding the pitfalls that they ran into in the past.
Nothing will ever actually replace the NFL, but this is an intriguing option. There are plenty of very talented players out there who could fill up this league, and it could be a minor league of sorts for the NFL.
So far, it looks like their location options are New York, Washington, Memphis, Orlando, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Denver, Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Their goal is to start the league with 8 teams in 2013.
In a perfect world, perhaps this is where players could go instead of college if their grades aren't up to snuff, or if they want to leave college earlier than the NFL allows.
Maybe there's room for Tim Tebow in a league like this.
Here's the info, courtesy of Deadspin:

LA CROSSE, WI (WXOW)—Rotary Lights will open gates on Thanksgiving with four new light displays at Riverside Park.
Last year they added Santa's house, this year children will get to watch a toy train while they wait to see him.
"John Corems," Pat Stephens, President of Rotary Lights said. "Came down most of April, May and June to get it ready for this fall. It's his from start to finish. He built the entire thing."
And he didn't leave anything out; it has a carousel and fire station that play music at the touch of a button.
"It says push the button once," Stephens said. "But something tells me it will be a little more often than that."
The entrance to the park will also be new this year. Visitors will be welcomed by two 25-foot saluting toy soldiers.
"It's a very inventive group as far as getting things done," Jim Crothers, Steering Committee, Rotary Lights said. "The equipment, everyone is always looking for ways to make improvements and make it easier, faster, smoother and safer."
Jerome Gundersen dreamt up an 11 foot tall globe for world peace.
"He's working with a couple other volunteers that are pretty good with welding," Stephens said.
"Not only will it turn but the lights will be animated."
They are also adding penguins to the display. Stephens said for years people asked why they didn't have them at the igloo.
But the volunteers put the 2.6 million lights aside when asked about their favorite part.
"I've personally seen over the year, the food collection what a difference it makes for the less fortunate. So that will always remain a favorite," Stephens said.
"It's not the big SUV you get the big donations from," Crothers said. "It's the car you think you'll have to push out the drive way that gives you a box of food and says wait a minute I have more in the trunk."
Rotary Lights is free but people are asked to bring food or monetary donations.
They hope visitors bring 225,000 food items this year. Donations help 14 area food pantries.
Display is open Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve:

Sudek Study Centre is an educational centre dedicated to the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of university students and young professionals. Sudek's mission is to provide young men the resources, advice and encouragement they need to live a Christian life in their academic, professional, and social circumstances.
Sudek Study Centre provides study facilities for University Students. It also caters for young professionals, who profit from the activities organised in the centre.
It is located just off the campus of the Strathmore University, Madaraka. Sudek Study Centre provides valuable resources to the local university community. Activities sponsored by Sudek aim to help students develop their talents and see their life's work and responsibilities in a more generous way: as a means of serving God and others, a context for personal and spiritual growth, and a means to contribute to the common good of society.
In addition to sponsoring activities, Sudek Study Centre provides housing for male university students who are interested in living in a cheerful, family atmosphere. It has a few spaces available for those who would like to stay in the Residence.
Sudek Study Centre and its programs are inspired by the spirit of Opus Dei (www.opusdei.org), a personal Prelature of the Catholic Church. Opus Dei, to which the spiritual and doctrinal activities of the center are entrusted, was founded by Saint Josemaria Escriva in 1928. Opus Dei's purpose is to help people find God in their everyday lives of work, family, and social relations.

"Very impressed with the quality of the cards. The service received was fantastic. Cards are of a really high quality and great value for money"
"I was very happy with the final product from this Save the Date. It was simple to submit and a great price. Came packaged very nicely. Only complaint is that the print from the post card came off on each post card on top of it. Truly, it doesn't matter since the post cards were then mailed through the postal service and probably put through the ringer."
"From searching options to choosing the design we love, this was a great experience. After choosing this design we asked the designer to make a slight change, this was done very promptly. The order was shipped with a nice email updating about the order status and shipped via FedEx for the express shipping we requested. Seamless and a great experience. Thank you!"
"These cards are perfect. They were delivered very quickly. I had ordered some elsewhere in January with intent to have them out by the end of March. When I called for an update I was told the order was cancelled. I went into your website configured the card the way I wanted it and placed the order. Just a few days later there they were in the mail. They were all out by the end of March. I am on schedule. Thank you"
"Very fast delivery and looked great. Everyone is raving over our magnets. Larger than I expected, in a good way. Product looks professional and came packaged very well. Great price too!"

Who would choose a life of the greatest wealth and abundance on condition of neither loving nor being loved by any creature?
That is the sort of life tyrants endure. They can count on no fidelity, no affection, no security in the goodwill of anyone. For them all is suspicion and anxiety; for them there is no possibility of a friendship. Who can love one whom he fears, or by whom he knows that he is feared?
Yet such men often have a show of friendship offered them, but it is only a fair-weather show. If it ever happen that they fall, as it frequently does, they will at once understand how friendless they are.
Tell me, Lydia, why strong Sybaris
Shuns the sun-drenched field of exercise,
Why he rides no more among his comrades,
Mastering his Gallic stallion with iron bit?
Why does he avoid the yellow Tiber's foam,
Why does he neglect to oil his limbs
For the wrestling-ground,
Or show his arms bruised with weapon practice,
He who once threw the discus, the javelin,
Further than all?
Is this the work of love, Lydia,
Or just the work of your charms?
These reasonings are unconnected, though foolish people think them: 'I am richer than you, therefore I am better'; 'I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better'.
The true connection is this: 'I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours'; 'I am more eloquent than you, therefore my style is better than yours'.
But a human being, after all, is neither property nor style.
It is vain to comfort the grieving, for grief must have its fill.
Anyone can discourse for ever about the advantages of courage and determination, but instead of listening to discourses only, let us day by day fix our eyes on the good, until we become filled with the love of it. And then we will have helped fulfil the promise that lay in the victory of the Greeks over the Persians: to be free in honour, and wise in freedom.
If anyone should suppose a true proposition to be false, the proposition is not hurt, but he who is deceived about it.
In friendship, just as those who possess any superiority must put themselves on an equal footing with those who are less fortunate, so these latter must not be annoyed at being surpassed in genius, fortune, or rank.
Gold loves to go through gates and walls,
It defies armed guards and watchmen,
Money throws down gates, unbolts doors,
Brings battlements and fortifications crumbling down.
Bribes sink ships, win wars, unseat the mighty.
Worry and vexed ambition follow money,
Appetite for wealth grows hungrier with feeding.
Yet the more one denies oneself, the more one gains.
Unencumbered, I seek out the camps of those who desire nothing;
A deserter, I hasten away from the side of wealthy men,
Whose comparison makes me poor: for I am wealthy myself
In the absence of my wants,
Rich in already being satisfied.
I have a stream of clear water, a wood of a few acres,
My harvest and milch cows, and my bleating sheep;
Each morning I find eggs in the straw.
I expand my revenues by shrinking my desires,
And live emperor of my domain.
To injure the young to the sight of death, Lycurgus allowed the citizens to bury their dead within the city, so that their youth might be accustomed to such spectacles, and not be afraid to see a dead body, or fear to touch a corpse or to tread on a grave.
There are two ways of resolving disputes, the one by agreement, the other by contest; the first method is proper to mankind, the second to beasts. But because the first has frequently proved insufficient, men have often taken recourse to the second.
The wise say of things they have not heard, 'I have not heard', and of things they have not seen, 'I have not seen'.
The good is that which lies within reach of our talents for good, which means that there are as many goods as there are such talents. There is not one single kind of good that suits and fits everyone; there are as many good lives as there are people to live them.
When you see anyone weeping in grief because his loved one has gone abroad, or is dead, or because he has suffered in his affairs, be careful that the appearance may not misdirect you.
Instead, distinguish within your own mind, and be prepared to say , 'It's not the accident that distresses this person, because it does not distress another person; it is the judgement he makes about it.'
It is our attitudes to things that give them their value, whether good or bad, or indifferent. Strengthen your mind to right attitudes, and you will live with fortitude and just measure.
The honourable man is he who honours others.

That sad moment when a fic features a ship I want to read.
but also features the only ship i hate.
Awwwwww, poor Captain Marvel.

KALDUR, your FAITH IN YOUR TEAM IS PERFECT.

"Harm doesn't battle his demons. Harm embraces them." LOLOLOL, that's a little too much cheese, show.
Harm is a little too much cheese, to be frank. The whole "referring to self in 3rd self" really only works for Doom.
I approve of M'gann, Conner and Wally's prank. Sucks to be you, Marvin.
Okay, the "Secret" thing is annoying me now.
Ha, Artemis' comeback. Saving that one up, were you, Artie?
To be honest, I didn't like this one. Greta didn't live up to the considerable awesome she was in the comics (where she was allowed to have actual dialogue, pft.) And the women on this show are fantastic, so Greta not being allowed to reach her full awesome (standing still is not a superpower, show) is especially disappointing, because this show could do better. Also, Harm sucked.
tl;dr: Eh, every show has at least one turkey.

Annually, international wildlife trade is estimated to be worth billions of dollars and to include hundreds of millions of plant and animal specimens. Levels of exploitation of some animal and plant species are high and the trade in them, together with other factors, such as habitat loss, is capable of heavily depleting their populations and even bringing some species close to extinction.
CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. For many years CITES has been among the conservation agreements with the largest membership, with now 175 Parties.
Sweden's Minister for Trade (Hon. Ewa Björling) and Tanzania's Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism (Hon. Ezekiel M. Maige) organized a roundtable on 26 January 2012 in Dar es Salaam on how to prevent and combat illegal trade in endangered species, with support from the CITES Secretariat and the World Customs Organization (WCO).
Participants included representatives of: Tanzania's Wildlife Division, National Parks Division, Wildlife Research Institute and Revenue Authority - Customs; Sweden's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (which hosts the Minister for Trade) located in both Dar es Salaam and Stockholm; Nigeria's Customs Services; the CITES Secretariat; WCO; the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC); the United Nations Environment Programme's Great Apes Survival Partnership; TRAFFIC; World Wild Fund for Nature; Pan African Sanctuary Alliance; and African Apes.
During the ministerial segment of the roundtable, co-chaired by Ministers Björling and Maige, participants noted the need to raise the awareness of heads of State about the scale of illegal wildlife trafficking and its impacts not only on wildlife conservation but also the tourism sector and local livelihoods. They recognized that wildlife crime should be addressed from both the supply and demand sides, to be most effective. Acknowledging the electronic control systems that are already in place in many Customs services, participants concluded that other law enforcement agencies need to develop similar systems to support better communication and cooperation not only with Customs but also with each other.
A technical-level discussion, co-chaired by Ms. Marceil Yeater of the CITES Secretariat and Mr Mohamed Madehele of Tanzania's Wildlife Division, followed the ministerial segment. During this session, participants noted that increased penalties for wildlife crimes need to be adopted to deter offenders and to obtain support from general law enforcement agencies. They expressed interest in using controlled deliveries as an investigation tool for wildlife crime, building on the experience gained with their use in drug crimes, and pointed out the importance of related awareness-raising activities. Participants recognized that enhanced cooperation among law enforcement agencies would bring different competencies together and strengthen the different pieces of the enforcement chain. They acknowledged that cooperation beyond law enforcement agencies (e.g. with other government agencies, local communities and non-State actors) was also necessary. Finally, they identified priority issues that needed immediate attention, such as the gathering and use of intelligence about recent instances of alleged illegal trade in great apes.
The findings and conclusions of the roundtable are expected to contribute to: targeted national wildlife law enforcement actions in producer and consumer countries; coordinated activities of the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC), comprising the CITES Secretariat, INTERPOL, UNODC, the World Bank and WCO; upcoming international meetings on wildlife crime to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 13 to 17 February 2012 and Lyon, France from 27 to 29 March 2012; and the second phase of an operational project in Africa and Asia (funded by Sweden) which will be organized by WCO later in the year.
O2E says…
Many argue the CITES does not contribute much to the "war on wildlife trade". And with numbers of illegal imports and exports not really budging, it is easy to see why. I see CITES as the UN of wildlife trade. Necessary but not necessarily effective. Let's see how the upcoming international meetings on wildlife crime pan out. With representatives attending these meetings from grassroots organisations, the opportunity exists for CITES to hear and acknowledge the real issues and to support NGOs more rigorously.

The George S. Clayson House, on most days a repository of local history dating back to the early days of Palatine, came alive recently when 33 people—many of them ladies dressed in flowery or feathered hats of days gone by, sipped tea and dined on finger sandwiches.
The occasion was the Palatine Historical Society's annual Victorian Tea, which brought together ladies to honor the past with a time honored tradition of sipping tea and munching on light fare around mid-day.
As period music played softly in the background, a greeter, dressed in a frilly outfit popular in the 1850s, and a butler wearing a black suit, ushered guests into the ornate museum, outfitted this day with tables and chairs.
"It goes with the house, an 1870s house," said Marilyn Pedersen, director of Clayson House. "They had high tea back then so we have this now."

Hear Baseball's Talent-Finders Tell Their Stories on Saturday as Museum Unveils 'Diamond Mines'
Scouts Exhibit Opens May 4 with Voices of the Game Program Featuring Hall of Famer Pat Gillick and Buck O'Neil Award Winner Roland Hemond
April 29, 2013
(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – Their stories document the game at its very inception, where the journey to the big leagues – and sometimes the Hall of Fame – begins. For baseball scouts, it's the record of hits and misses, the can't-miss prospects and the 37th-round steals.
Those stories will come alive this weekend when the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum opens its new Diamond Mines exhibit dedicated to the labor of scouts. With some of the game's top talent-finders in attendance for the festivities, Museum visitors will have a chance to experience those stories first hand at a special Voices of the Game event.
Hall of Famer Pat Gillick, 2011 Buck O'Neil Award winner Roland Hemond, Texas Rangers scout and senior special advisor Don Welke and Miami Marlins Vice President of Player Personnel Dan Jennings will participate in a Voices of the Game roundtable discussion at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 4 as part of the opening weekend of Diamond Mines. Tickets for this event, which will be held in the Museum's Grandstand Theater, are free but limited and must be reserved in advance by calling 607-547-0397 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Voices of the Game event will also feature a special appearance by Roberta Mazur, director of the Scout of the Year Program which funded Diamond Mines for its initial two-year run at the Hall of Fame.
Gillick, elected to the Hall of Fame in 2011, served as a scout and farm director before eventually becoming one of the most successful general managers in the history of the game. Hemond has worked behind the scenes for more than 60 years as a scout, talent evaluator and general manager. Welke began his career in the 1960s and helped sign the core of the dominant Blue Jays teams of the 1980s and 1990s.
The Museum will unveil the new interactive exhibit Diamond Mines on Saturday, May 4 with dozens of scouts and other team personnel on hand for the celebration. The exhibit, located on the Museum's second floor, will feature a computer interactive of an Anatomy of a Scouting Report that includes more than two dozen reports on players.
Also on Saturday, the Museum will host a Behind the Exhibit event with Diamonds Mines exhibit curator John Odell and scout Jim Martz at 1 p.m. in the Bullpen Theater. Martz donated dozens of scouting reports for the exhibit and online database from his tenure with the Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, California Angels and the Major League Scouting Bureau. This behind-the-scenes look at Diamond Mines is included with Museum admission.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Museum visitors can stop by the Learning Center for the Mining for Talent interactive program. Hall of Fame staff will present visitors with several scouting reports on some of baseball's all-time greats with the identifying information removed. Fans can then sift through the data to build their team based on the scouting reports.
Diamond Mines will feature three-dimensional artifacts such as radar guns and stopwatches that have served as scouts' tools of the trade for decades. The exhibit will provide an insider's view of the essential link between the amateur game and professional baseball and will also recognize Scout of the Year Award winners, an honor given by the Scout of the Year Program since 1984.
Through Diamond Mines, fans will also be able to enter the name of a big league player and search for scouting reports filed on them throughout the years. Nearly 12,000 scouting reports covering 400 scouts and 4,000 players – about 42 percent of all big leaguers since 1952 – will be available through an internet database at scouts.baseballhall.org.
The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) provided data for the Diamond Mines interactive, linking more than 11,000 current and former major leaguers, with the names of their signing or recommending scout – the first time this information has been available for the general public. The SABR Scouts Committee's relational database includes a registry of more than 7,000 professional baseball scouts.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is open seven days a week year round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. The Museum observes regular hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. from Labor Day until Memorial Day Weekend. From Memorial Day Weekend through the day before Labor Day, the Museum observes summer hours of 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Ticket prices are $19.50 for adults (13 and over), $12 for seniors (65 and over) and for those holding current memberships in the VFW, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion and AMVets organizations, and $7 for juniors (ages 7-12). Members are always admitted free of charge and there is no charge for children 6 years of age or younger. For more information, visit our Web site at baseballhall.org or call 888-HALL-OF-FAME (888-425-5633) or 607-547-7200.

KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Benton County commissioners have chosen Kennewick Mayor Pro-Tem Sharon Brown to fill a state Senate seat representing the Tri-Cities.
She'll replace Sen. Jerome Delvin who was sworn in last month as a Benton County commissioner.
KVEW reports (http://bit.ly/WcZPR9 ) state Reps. Larry Haler and Brad Klippert also were interviewed Monday for the appointment.
Brown says her priorities are to help small businesses and build relationships in Olympia to benefit the Tri-Cities. To keep the Senate seat she'll have to run in a special election in November.

The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg announces a Spring 2012 Bog Tour on the topic of religion and media, beginning April 30th and continuing for the month of May.
Can you envision a congregation where every worshipper would be encouraged to provide regular Facebook status updates and "tweets" during the service?
Where do you see theology most deeply expressed in popular culture today?
What do you make of the YouTube video: "Why I hate church but love Jesus"?
[http://www.ltsg.edu/academic-programs/Degree-programs/Concentrations/religionandmedia/Spring-2012-Blog-Tour for detailed information on the tour, whose writing today. ]
These are just some of the questions for the first-ever Blog Tour on Religion & Media by faculty of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg and its partner, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. The tour begins today on the ON Living Faith blog at OdysseyNetworks.org, with guest blogger Mary E. Hess, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Dr. Hess will be teaching at Gettysburg in August.
The blog tour stems from a new concentration in Religion and Media at Gettysburg Seminary that brings contemporary theological scholarship to issues such as the role of media in raising, prioritizing and interpreting theological questions, the power of media versus the power of the individual in public discourse, how media affects the interactions of Christian communities and other communities of faith, and how God may be working in the world in the twenty-first century.
The mission of Gettysburg Seminary is "bearing witness at the crossroads of history and hope, proclaiming Jesus Christ to a restless world," said Seminary President Michael L. Cooper-White. "Much of that 'restless world' is online. We are committing our resources to help people of all faiths to reflect critically on the public expressions of their faith traditions."
The seminary's two-week Blog Tour on Religion & Media will engage in a wide-ranging conversation with bloggers and their readers on issues related to religion and media.
This week's stops on the tour, featuring Dr. Mary Hess, include:
Monday, April 30: ON Living Faith, hosted by Pastor Mary M. Brown
Tuesday, May 1: Day1 Blog, hosted by the Rev. Peter Wallace
Wednesday, May 2: A Cyberpilgrim's Blog, hosted by Caroline Cerveny, SSJ-TOSF
Thursday, May 3: Uncle Sam's Attic, hosted by Laura Gifford
Friday, May 4: The Snake Charmer's Wife, hosted by Terri Mork Speirs
Mary Hess is Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Since 2003 she has written the blog Tensegrities (www.religioused.org/tensegrities/). A Roman Catholic
Layperson with eclectic interests, Hess received her B.A. in American Studies from Yale University; her M.T.S. is from Harvard University; and her Ph.D. is from Boston College. She served as a core member of the International Study Commission on Media, Religion and Culture. She serves on the editorial board of Journal of Media and Religion, Religious Education and Religion and Education in the Public Sphere.
Visit www2.luthersem.edu/mhess/web/Home.html to learn more about her publications and teaching.
The second week of the Tour, May 7-11, will feature Mark Vitalis Hoffman, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg in Gettysburg, PA. His website CrossMarks (www.crossmarks.com) offers bible study materials and resources. He is a mentor for Fisher's Net online courses (www.fishersnet.net) and he blogs at Scroll and Screen (http://bibleandtech.blogspot.com/), a biblical studies and technological tools blog. He is ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. His 14 years of parish experience in Minnesota and North Dakota were often focused on Christian education. Hoffman holds a B.A. from University of Illinois and a M.Div. from Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary. His M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. are from Yale University.

By Naomi Wolf
The opinions expressed are her own.
With the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, New York City has abruptly become the scene of two very different official approaches to investigating sex-crime cases, one traditional and one new. The new approach so far appears to be reserved for Strauss-Kahn alone.
Consider the first case: the ongoing trial of two police officers, Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata, charged in the rape of a 27-year-old Manhattan woman. She was drunk, and, after helping her to enter her apartment, Moreno and Mata allegedly made a false emergency call so that they could return to her. At that point, the woman says, she woke periodically out of her intoxicated state to find herself being raped, face down, by Moreno, as Mata stood guard.
The alleged rape of a citizen by a police officer — and the alleged collusion of another officer — is surely a serious matter. But the charges and trial have followed an often-seen pattern: the men's supporters have vociferously defended their innocence (the presumption of which has been scrupulously upheld in the press); the victim's pink bra has been the subject of salacious speculation, and her intoxication has been used to undermine her credibility. As the wheels of justice grind unglamorously forward, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made no public statement supporting the victim's side.
Moreover, Moreno and Mata have not been asked to strip naked for "evidence" photos, were not initially denied bail, and were not held in solitary confinement, and are not being strip-searched daily. Their entire case has followed the usual timetable of many months, as evidence was gathered, testimony compiled and arguments made.
Then there is the Strauss-Kahn approach. After a chambermaid reportedly told her supervisor at the elegant Sofitel hotel that she had been sexually assaulted, the suspect was immediately tracked down, escorted off a plane just before its departure, and arrested. High-ranking detectives, not lowly officers, were dispatched to the crime scene. The DNA evidence was sequenced within hours, not the normal eight or nine days. By the end of the day's news cycle, New York City police spokespeople had made uncharacteristic and shockingly premature statements supporting the credibility of the victim's narrative — before an investigation was complete.

In Greek, "Yasou" means "health to you." It's used as a greeting and a toast, like "Cheers!"
At Yasou Greek Bistro, there's plenty of reason to toast. With simple, nicely cooked takes on Greek specialties and friendly service, the busy Hunt Valley restaurant is a good choice for diners in search of top-notch Greek food without the drive to Greektown.
Yasou occupies a small space in a shopping center on York Road, where Cockeysville meets Hunt Valley. Inside, clean white paint and shiny tables give the year-old restaurant a brand-new feeling. But the decor — brightly colored Mediterranean murals and blue and white accents — is in the same vein as Baltimore's oldest Greek restaurants.
Just before 7 on a recent Friday night, Yasou was jam-packed. We lucked into the last small table available, bypassing a larger group waiting for one of the restaurant's big booths.
Moments after we sat, a personable waitress arrived to take drink orders and open our bottle of wine. Yasou is BYOB ($2 corkage fee per diner drinking alcohol) with no plans to acquire a liquor license.
Though Yasou's menu includes pasta dishes, subs and pizzas, we took our cue from the tables around us, sticking with Greek specialties. We started with small Greek salads, which came with our entrees.
Crispy iceberg lettuce, thin slices of red onion, tomato and cucumber were sprinkled with fine bits of salty feta and dressed with simple vinaigrette. The salads weren't surprising, but they were a crunchy and bright start to the meal.
An appetizer of saganaki ($8.50), fried Kasseri cheese swimming in lemony olive oil, felt like the healthy salads' polar opposite.
Back in the kitchen, the cheese was fried in a pan, doused with brandy and flambeed, leaving a little of the liquor's sweetness. Smeared on triangles of pita, the appetizer was messy but tasty.
Also from the appetizer menu, an order of keftedes ($8.50) — meatballs — was the biggest hit of the meal.
Made with ground sirloin from Monkton's Roseda Farms, mixed with herbs and spices and pan-fried, the dish was fragrant and savory. The meat was just cooked through, with a thin crust on the outside but surprisingly soft in the center.
Also on the plate, a dish of thick, tangy tzatziki was a bright sauce for the warm meat. And when the meat was gone, we couldn't resist polishing off the yogurt dip with more pita triangles.
Entrees also came with a generous helping of pita bread and tzatziki.
Shrimp souvlaki ($16.95), eight large shrimp grilled on skewers and served over rice, was straightforward but satisfying. A garlicky marinade worked nicely with the sweet flavor of the shrimp. Though the rice was a tad overcooked, the shrimp itself was tender and just cooked through.
Even better was a baby rack of lamb chops ($24.95). Six small chops, marinated for hours in herbs and spices and grilled, were smoky and flavorful.
When our waitress didn't ask about cooking temperature for the lamb, we had some concerns. We shouldn't have worried. Though they were cooked through — more done than we usually eat lamb — the small chops were impressively tender.
Cooking over charcoal was another plus in their favor. The unmistakable smoke of charcoal grilling gave the chops an extra layer of flavor.
On the side, an order of fluffy fries was good, especially dipped in tzatziki, though they seemed unexciting next to the lamb.
After checking with the kitchen, our waitress rattled off several dessert options. We opted for the house-made galaktoboureko ($4.75) a mouthful of a name describing a Greek custard pie.
Yasou Greek Bistro gives an authentic flavor even outside Greektown

LOS ANGELES • Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey scored first-period goals, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-0 at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night in the NHL's first warm-weather outdoor game.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Jonas Hiller made 36 saves in his 20th career shutout as the league-leading Ducks dominated the landmark meeting of Southern California's two hockey teams under the stars in Chavez Ravine. Andrew Cogliano added an empty-net goal with 1:29 left to close this unusual chapter in the NHL's expanded slate of outdoor games.
The league threw a California carnival for the event, filling left field with a beach volleyball court and right field with a fireworks-laden stage where Kiss performed. People in shorts and tank tops played Frisbee and practiced yoga between periods while skateboarders rolled past a ball hockey court featuring youth teams.
Although the temperature was 63 degrees with significant humidity when Wayne Gretzky dropped the first puck, the ice held up fairly well in the night air. The Ducks' outstanding season also remained solid in their 21st victory in 24 games, while the Kings lost their fifth straight game.
The Kings hosted the first official outdoor game west of the Rocky Mountains in recognition of the NHL's near half-century in Los Angeles and their rivalry with the Ducks, who joined the league two decades ago.
The crowd was announced at 54,099 — a number that likely made Gretzky smile.
COLUMBUS, Ohio • Christian Ehrhoff and Marcus Foligno scored short-handed goals to lead Buffalo past Columbus, ending the Blue Jackets' franchise-record winning streak at eight.
Ryan Miller was almost flawless in goal for the Sabres, making 38 saves — standing particularly tall on the Blue Jackets' four fruitless power plays.
Matt Ellis, Steve Ott and Cody Hodgson also scored for the Sabres, who had lost five in a row (0-3-2). Ehrhoff added two assists, tying a career high with three points. Hodgson also had an assist.
Derek MacKenzie had a goal and an assist and Mark Letestu also scored for the Blue Jackets, who had tallied at least three goals in each game during the streak.
Sergei Bobrovsky, who came in 9-0-0 with a 1.80 goals-against average and .940 save percentage in his past nine starts, had a forgettable game. He was pulled after giving up three goals — including both of the short-handed tallies.
UNIONDALE, N.Y. • Kevin Shattenkirk and Alexander Steen scored shootout goals to lift the St. Louis Blues over the New York Islanders following a puzzling goal reversal call in overtime.
After T.J. Oshie tied it for the Blues with 27 seconds left in regulation, Thomas Vanek appeared to score the winner for the Islanders on the power play with 1:15 left in overtime — but the play was overturned on review at the NHL offices in Toronto.
The puck hit Vanek's skate blade and dribbled past Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak, but a distinct kicking motion that usually negates goals wasn't apparent.
Matt Martin had put the Islanders ahead 3-2 midway through the second period, and Vanek and Kyle Okposo also scored in the first for New York. Vladimir Tarasenko scored twice for the Blues.

In case you haven't heard, Marc Jacobs just launched a seriously chic new line of cosmetics. The industry is buzzing about the collection which includes everything from nail polish and foundation to makeup brushes. The colors are bold and playful and the packaging is gorgeous. Here are some of our favorite Marc Jacobs Beauty products.
Unfortunately, I can't help you easily copy Naya Rivera's amazing abs (those require hours of gym time and probably some diet changes). I can, however, give you the steps to recreating her beautiful, long, loose curls. John Frieda stylist, Clyde Haygood, gave the full scoop on how he got Naya's hair to look that good.Step 1 - Prep
Clyde applied Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Original Formula ($9.99 at folica.com) to Naya's wet hair before blow-drying. "We wanted sleek, defined waves. We knew this serum would help give us the sleek, controlled style we were aiming to achieve and keep her hair frizz-free all night long."
Step 2 - Style
Next, Clyde used a curling iron with a 1 ½ inch barrel. After wrapping each section around the iron, he pinned each curl with a duckbill clip and sprayed Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray ($5.95 at folica.com) to set.
Step 3 - Perfect
Once the curls cooled, Clyde carefully brushed hair out and spritzed Frizz-Ease 100% Shine Glossing Mist ($5.99 at ulta.com) throughout for definition and added shine. "To replicate the look and feel of the leather outfit, we saturated Naya's hair with as much of the shine spray as possible for that silky and smooth finish."
Luckily, I have a little bit of time before I have to worry about greys popping in and covering up roots, but I do know plenty of women who are currently having that problem, so I thought I'd do a little bit of research and find the best products out there to help cover up those annoying grey hairs. My biggest pet peeve when coloring hair is the dry time. Waiting 30 to 40 minutes with a cap on your head and that smell lingering is something unbearable, so on top of finding the best of the best in root cover-ups it was also a goal of mine to find products that would eliminate, or at least minimize, these issues. I uncovered three products that are a little pricey, but are definitely worth having on hand in between salon visits!
The Spray
Women use hairspray pretty much every day so it was only a matter of time before hair color was put into an aerosol can. The Rita Hazan Root Concealer comes in five different colors (blonde, dark blonde. light brown, dark brown/black, and red) and will cover your roots in just one quick spray. Although the light stream helps control where the dye goes, it is very easy to press a little too hard and it is even easier to get a little too much in one spot, so my advice is to try it out a little by spraying some on a napkin to make sure you get the pressure of your finger down before trying to put in on your roots. The best thing about the spray is it won't get all over your hands or anywhere else—like eyeglasses.
The Marker
When I first came across this one I wasn't sure it was going to be any good because my experience has taught me that any product that comes in pen or marker form, like the nail art pens, don't work too well. But it seemed like a good product to at least investigate, and when I did, I really found nothing bad about it. The ColorMark Touchback looks exactly like a flat point permanent marker and it's used pretty much the same way: you simply color over your roots. Be sure to pull your hair away from your scalp otherwise you will end up with spots on your head (if this happens it's pretty easy to smudge away with a finger). It dries in minutes and will not flake off when you brush your hair or sweat like some other dye pens.
The Shadow
When I saw this next product I didn't get how this could work and how they were able to put such a price tag on it, but then I dug a little deeper. The Color Wow Root Cover Up looks like an eye shadow at first glance so the natural reaction is to think, 'My eye shadow doesn't always stay on so how will this?' But to be 100 percent honest, I didn't read one review that was negative. Although it is not the most cost-efficient option for root touch-ups, it definitely seems to be worth a try at least once. The powder will adhere to your hair, not your skin, so you won't have to worry about it looking dry or being obvious, it becomes completely camouflaged. The best part about this product is there is no dry time like the other two and no smell.

ShutDownRossi.com – has just published information consisting of email communications between the site's author and SGS staff where the testing company could not find any eCat safety certification.
During last week's eCat conference in Zurich Andrea Rossi claimed that they now had safety certification for one of the eCat models – and that certification was issued by global testing and certification company SGS.
Anti Rossi website shutdownrossi.com has published screenshots of their apparent email communications with SGS where staff searched in vain for the apparently issued safety cert.
They stated…
"We contacted SGS to verify Mr. Rossi's claim that SGS had already "safety" verified the "classic" 1MW e-cat. Mr. Rossi likes to use various company names, instead of just one company for all transactions, for instance, Mr. Rossi put the patent rights into Leonardo Corporation in Florida, but signs contracts using a totally different corporation, Leonardo Corporation in New Hampshire, that corporation is not connected in any way to the Florida corporation. So when we contacted SGS we had them check for certifications for EFA Srl and EFA Ltd. in Italy and also for Leonardo Corporation in the USA. According to SGS Corporate Security none of these companies have any certification for any product from SGS."
Anyone can perform searches for those holding SGS certification on the public SGS Client Directories page either by searching for company name or by certificate ID.
No-one should jump to conclusions right away – it is entirely possible that the SGS safety certificate has been lodged under a different company name or identity, but without the
Obama Birth Certificate SGS Certificate ID no-one can sure at this stage. Rossi has yet to comment on this latest "clownsnakery".

So I'm reading How Sex Works and I come across discussion of a study on how people respond to body odor, specifically how "four categories [of persons] – heterosexual men, heterosexual women, homosexual men, and homosexual women - ... indicate their preference among odors collected from 'odor donors' in the same four categories."
Let's skip over the methodology and get right to the rather queer results:
"Homosexual males, heterosexual females, and lesbians preferred odors from heterosexual males over odors from gay males," the study stated. "Gay males preferred odors from other gay males … Heterosexual males, heterosexual females, and lesbians over the age of 15 (but not those 18-25) preferred odors from lesbians over odors from gay males … Finally, gay males preferred odors from heterosexual females over those from heterosexual males."
Last I remember reading about odor studies like this the results were of the men-prefer-the-smell-of-women-women-prefer-the-smell-of-men variety, with zero consideration of sexual orientation. I'm glad some scientists are being more open to subtlety and variety. The study's results, though, what can one say of them? Hm. This deserves more study?

2010 Shoes, Boots, High Heels, Sandals & more
Did you know that there are certain types of shoes which are favored by nurses because of the comfort and easy wear ability that comes with the shoe? Nurses are on their feet for hours and hours at a time as the average shift for a nurse is twelve hours. Through these twelve hours, the nurse must find shoes that allow her feet to breathe and allow her to walk with comfort as well as shoes which can be easily cleaned and provide support to the foot.
Here are some of the popular choices of shoes for nurses:
Rubber clogs. Although most nurses must wear rubber clogs without holes through the top of the shoe, the back of the shoe is open, which can allow for air flow within the shoe, reducing the warmness in the shoe which can lead to odors as well as lead to sweating. Rubber clogs can easily be washed because there are many questionable substances that come into contact with the shoes through the shift.
Wool clogs are another popular choice for nurse's shoes as they are warm enough to wear through the winter but still allow for air flow once the shoes have been worn, as they have an open back. These shoes are perfect for wearing with light socks and are available in a variety of neutral colors.
There are certain types of sneakers which have been designed for nurses to offer the support that is required through the shoe. These types of sneakers can be easily worn in the office, to home and even through the weekends. The support is designed to cushion the foot through long shifts, allowing the nurse to save her feet and her back, without stopping working.

Risk Management is essential for public sector leadership.
Citizens expect all levels of government to keep them safe from threats, help in emergencies, and be prudent stewards of the nation's resources. Whether it's project management, responding to an ice storm, transforming government, or developing infrastructure, risk management lies at the heart of what governments do.
When things go wrong, it's likely risk has been mismanaged. An unforeseen event, a rapid unexpected increase in demand, or a badly flawed budget each demonstrates poor risk management in action.
What about innovation?
Doing more with less has become the status quo in all levels of government. Today's environment of fiscal restraint makes an already difficult job even more challenging, and means every decision must be scrutinized more carefully than ever.
With restraint come renewed calls for innovation and transformation. What are the implications for risk management when the stakes are raised, results more closely scrutinized, and resources reduced? How can risk management thrive in this environment?
Learn about new approaches to risk and innovation.
This event takes an in-depth look at how the public sector can marry risk with innovation, through new processes, and new ways of organizing. This includes innovations such as 'tiger teams,' and new approaches such as foresight. We'll explore both, including an interactive exploration of foresight for both threats and opportunities.
Risk management has been in the spotlight, usually for its failures.
No one goes into risk management to bask in media attention. With media always looking for the next scandal, misappropriation, project gone bad, or example of poor financial management, risk managers can't help but feel increased public scrutiny.
Since our last Intergovernmental Forum on Risk Management, public sector risk management has made the news many times and on many different fronts:
These are just a few of the developments and issues the public sector risk innovators will address at this enlightening event.
Identification, classification, communication, and mitigation.
As always, the core of this event will be real life examples of risk management in action. This year, we'll get even more practical, with details on how the experts identify, classify, communicate, and mitigate risk. This will give you the approaches and practical detail you need to benchmark your risk strategy.
Don't miss the in-depth exploration of strategic foresight!
We presented highly rated strategic foresight sessions in 2012 and 2013, and you asked for more. We've responded by including a discussion of foresight that deliberately expands the conversation to include its use to detect and prepare for possible future threats in the environment, and identify possible future business opportunities. Could this be the tool that will allow risk managers to play a bigger role in innovation? Join us to find out.
What can you learn from the energy transportation controversy?
Behind the headlines on Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, and the LacMegantic tragedy, there are important lessons for all risk managers. The need for more robust risk assessments is one, and better risk communication to stakeholders is another. These situations also highlight the need to understand how risk and reward are distributed across the economy.
The concept of social licence may shed some light on this. We'll also consider how the lessons learned can apply to other situations where an understanding of the risk and reward balance might determine the difference between success and failure.
This is Canada's top public sector risk conference.
This event has delivered essential risk management information and insight to more than one thousand public sector risk leaders since its inception.
Consistent quality is what sets this event apart, and this year you'll meet a wide range of knowledgeable speakers from inside and outside the public sector. Benefit from their insights and practical guidance on risk planning, management, measurement, and delivery, and learn about the latest public sector risk innovations.
The Conference Board is Canada's most respected independent research and conference development organization. Its events attract respected public and private sector experts and innovators, and provide an insightful and enlightening learning experience for all participants.
We'd like to thank our generous sponsors for their contribution to this event.
The details of this event are subject to change. Please revisit this page periodically for updated information.
Risk management made the headlines again in 2013.
This event features a post-conference optional workshop on October 2nd. Don't miss out!
Last year's Intergovernmental Forum on Risk Management 2013 took place October 2-3, 2013 at the Ottawa Convention Centre.
Don't miss this chance to showcase your organization to some of the top leaders in the country. To learn more about exhibiting, reception and luncheon sponsorship, and exclusive sponsor benefits, please contact Rhonda Bradbury at (416) 481-1904 or email@example.com.

Hoax: You Can't Charge Your Cell Phone in a Microwave Oven
An image circulating over the weekend claims to quote a Harvard study which allegedly states that you can charge your cell phone in the microwave 15-25 times faster than plugging it into the wall.
It's a hoax.
If you place an electronic device in the microwave, it will no longer be operational and could create a fire hazard. It will also likely damage the microwave and emit toxic fumes.
The hoax circulating over the weekend includes a graphic that reads:
Any iPhone can be charged in a microwave oven, 15-25 times faster than the charger that came with it! Try it now:
Step 1: Plug your cable into the phone
Step 2: Put your iPhone in the center of the oven and coil the cable around it.
Step 3: Set the timer on the oven for 10-20 seconds
Step 4: You now have a charged iPhone!
This works because microwaves use the same principles as wireless charging pads, by rearranging the electrons in your iPhone's battery, to gather at the negative terminal. Remember to leave your cable plugged in!
Source: http://www.harvard.edu/research/04/13/mcharge.asp
Note that the Harvard URL (either with a zero or the letter "O" in the url above) does not exist.
Though the graphic being circulated lists a Tumblr profile, we couldn't find this graphic posted by that popular account, so it's possible someone attributed this "fact" to that account to lend credibility to the claim.
The video below demonstrates what will happen if you place your cell phone in a microwave oven:
Bottom Line
Using a microwave oven on a cell phone will likely destroy your phone and the oven.

Help Me Find Good Bowls for Mixing and Baking
Good Questions
Q: I cook and bake a lot, especially during this time of the year. A lot of these recipes need to have the ingredients beaten. I can't afford a stand mixer right now, so I use my hand blender. The problem is all the bowls I have are so small that it gets everywhere!
Can you recommend a bowl that wouldn't get damaged by a hand blender, but be good at keeping the mess in?
Sent by Shawn
Editor: Shawn, this sounds like a good fit for one of our very favorite kitchen tools: The big metal mixing bowl! If you look around at Target, restaurant supply stores, or online, you will find these big metal bowls. The bigger the better, and if they are slightly taller than they are wide, then that is helpful as well. These bowls are easy to clean, indestructible, and good all-round workhorses.
We suggest looking for bowls that are at least 6-quarts in size, and an 8-quart or larger might be helpful too for baking.
One other tip for really big batch baking: Go to the thrift store and look for a big, tall stockpot. If you have room in your kitchen for a really giant stockpot, it can come in handy for extra-big batches of bread, cookies, and caramel corn.

If you know you're going to eventually buy a stand mixer you could buy just the bowl that fits it now. You can usually buy those separate. Then when you do get your mixer you'll have an extra bowl for it. And since you say you bake a lot you might be craving the extra bowl eventually anyhow.
Faith is right - what you need is a Big Tall metal Bowl. Also key to improving you mixing neatness is making sure the Bowl is U-shaped like this one:
rather than the wider mouthed regular round bowls, like this one:
The wider ones are better for non-mechanical mixing techniques like folding whipped egg whites into chocolate mousse as they allow long fluid strokes.
The taller ones keep the mess of a hand mixer better contained. I know cause I have the same problem!
Go to your local restaurant-supply store (nobody should ever buy kitchen equipment from anywhere but there), and get some stainless steel mixing bowls. They're dishwasher-safe and come in tons of sizes. Even a huge one will cost you about five bucks.
Coscto sells a set of heavy duty stainless steel mixing bowls. they have a rubberized bottom to prevent sliding, come with lids and are $30 for a set of 8. Epic deal.
Ztuttle beat me to the punch. I couldn't agree more; Costco's rubber-based metal bowls are the best. Deep enough for hard-to-mix doughs, sauces, etc. Tough enough to deal with scratches and beatings from even the roughest of whisk-ers. And the rubber covers the base enough to prevent the bowl from moving. Seriously incredible.
I love love love my metal bowl from Ikea - it wasnt expensive, has held up very well for the past two years and I throw it in the dishwasher all the time.
I use my farberware, straight sided pots. The handle makes pouring out the batter or applesauce easy, the straight walls keep the blender from throwing batter over the sides and it won't tip over like the round bottom bowls. My 2qt pot is ideal for muffins, the larger one for applesauce.
I had the same problem, so I bought tall metal mixing bowls. Sometimes, when creaming butter and sugar a little of the mix escapes but not as much as when we had shallow, wider bowls. My mum also bought me a tupperware bowl/jug that comes with a lid with removable middle section, meaning there will be a collar around the bowl when I mix- yet to try it out though.
I like these: http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=768490 (I got mine at Kohl's). They're pretty enough to use as fruit bowls, and they have nice high sides.
I recently received mixing bowls from Crate and Barrel that I use more than I ever imagined.
Check them out: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=670&f=36196
Good luck!
I am a big fan of 3 types of bowls. I use Pyrex most, great for mixing, you can get lids with them for storing, extremely durable. Make great double boiler bowls.
As already suggested, restaurant supply store stainless steel bowls, variety of sizes, super cheap.
Oxo mixing bowls with rubberized bottom, wide bowls, bottoms great to keep the bowl from moving all around when mixing.
I also think the first suggestion of buying a stand mixer bowl is excellent! If you know what kind of mixer you'd like someday, I've purchased a 2nd refurbished bowl from KitchenAid.com very cheaply, and can't tell the difference between that and my original bowl.
I have the same bowls as marisab, as well as some metal bowls, and some old pottery(?) type bowls that are hand me downs for probably 2 generations. I don't like the metal bowls because they're so light - they slide easily around the counter when you're trying to use them.
The ones marisab are nice and heavy, and I found them at Wal-Mart (labeled as "serving" bowls), sold individually for $5-7.
The older ones, which you could probably find at a thrift shop or garage sale, but I am reluctant to put them in the dishwasher.

People - Real Faith
Does Grace Run Out?
by Rudelle Aldridge
When Jesus ascended on high, He gave gifts to men. He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.
Merriam-Webster defines grace as "unmerited divine assistance given for regeneration or sanctification; Favor; Mercy" all coming from God. A measure is "an adequate or due portion." In other words, God helps us get in a place that we can be spiritually reborn or restored to a higher or better state and cleansed and set apart for service. He gives us favor when we need it, and He is also lenient and compassionate when He must chastise us.
What we must remember is that He doesn't do this at random. He has specific guidelines set in place on the subject. The amount of grace you get, will be what is due you, according to the gift that God has given you. First of all, we don't know what the amount of grace given is for each particular gift.
Secondly, many of us don't even know which gift we were given. We assume that the higher the calling, the more grace we get. It sounds logical. But being that His ways are NOT our ways, it probably wouldn't be wise to live according to that theory. Sooner or later, we must get to a place of maturity where we do what we know is right, just because it is right.
At some point, we should be able to sanctify ourselves. (Leviticus 11:44) God takes it easy on us when we are babes, but what you do and get away with as a child, you will not be able to do and get away with as an adult. Even in the natural, if a child and an adult commit the same crime, the adults' punishment will be far greater than the child's. And so will it be in the spiritual.
When your grace runs out, you WILL pay the price for the choices you make. We choose to sin, we choose to hate, to lie, to steal, to be envious, or just plain mean. We make educated choices, knowing full well what the consequences are. Why? Because in the back of our minds, we "know" that if we confess and repent of our sins, God will ALWAYS forgive us. But will He?
Romans 1:18-32 is very clear on what will happen if we choose to continually sin and live unrighteous lives. The Amplified says, 20 "For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made. So [men] are without excuses [altogether without any defense or justification]..." 28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind..."
In other words, sooner or later your grace will run out. Do you want to take the chance that the "last time" was the last time you were covered by God's grace? The time to "choose" to live according to God's Word is now! You may not have "just one more time."
Be Blessed!

Cause of fire in vacant Manchester building under investigation
When the first fire crews arrived, Pelletier said there was a "pretty good volume of fire" and a "big ball of fire coming" out the window in the front.
Flames were extending up both the interior and exterior of the building. Firefighters, in addition to battling the blaze in the dark, had to use extreme caution to avoid holes cut in the second-story floor, according to Pelletier.
The building, designed with four apartments, was built in 1910 and features "balloon construction," meaning there are no fire breaks in the framing which allows flames to get into the walls and run free from the basement to the top peak.
Pelletier said fire crews cut through the roof in the front to get at the hidden flames.
No one was injured.
Fire crews contained the blaze to the building, although the fire's heat melted siding on an apartment building at 303 Hanover St. The fire was under control about 50 minutes after it was first reported, but crews did not clear the scene until about 1:20 a.m.
The building is owned by 305 Hanover LLC, with Doug Jones the contact person, according to Pelletier. Damage is estimated at between $80,000 and $100,000.

Datalist support in Mobile Chrome
iOS8 launched yesterday and it has damn good updates in mobile Safari. I strongly suggest folks read Max Firtman's detailed review here: iOS 8 and iPhone 6 for web developers and designers: next evolution for Safari and native webapps. One thing missing, however, is support for datalist controls. I've blogged about them before and I really like how simple they make basic autocomplete controls. I noticed over on the CanIuse page for datalist that Android 4.4.3 and higher now support it. Here are some screen shots of it in action. Honestly it looks pretty much as you might expect, but I wanted to see for myself.

335i limp mode party at the track

Saturday track event turned into a crappy day…..
In the past the oil temp used to reach 290-295 degrees and I had an occasional limp mode at Sebring so in January I installed the AR Design Oil Cooler. At my first event this year ambient high temp was about 65 degrees and the oil temp never went past 280 degrees so I was quite pleased and could not wait to get back out on the track again. This past weekend the car went into limp mode already during the first morning session while the ambient temp was about 68 degrees and mid-day when the temperature was about 80 degrees I got about 3-5 laps from each session before it went into limp modes. The oil temp was however never more than 280-285 degrees.
Is there a way to check any error codes what caused the limp mode? Could it have been the oil temp that caused it even though I never saw it go past 285 degrees or was it maybe the water temp?
My car is out of warranty but I am taking it to the dealer next week for HPFP Recall and hope they can see what caused the limp modes.
Any help and advice is appreciated.

4 notes &
Less than a week until Christmas, are you ready? (We're not!) So, on the Eighth Day or Christmas brings to you our Christmas tree. The Christmas tree with all the lights is one of my favorite things about Christmas, even though ours is only a 4-footer. I've had it for the last 4 or so years, and there have been years where all I needed was to look into the corner of the room, see it lit up, and I felt good. (It was like a warm, fuzzy, happy sign of independence or something.) I plan to have a full size tree next year, but this one will have a home somewhere still.
(What was the luck that every shot I took except the out-of-focus bokeh shot, that top-middle section blinked off!)
