It was ok - I actually used fat free half & half to cut more calories and fat. Use a very good quality romano cheese to get the best flavor results.
Alfredo Sauce (with fettuccine)

I have never made alfredo sauce before. Not only was this very easy but it was also fantastic! I used it on tri-color tortellini and added peas. I didn't add the salt or pepper but did add 1 tsp. dry white wine. I'll use this recipe again on other pasta dishes.
CindyH Posted: 08/06/10
Yes, the cheese tends to clump up after it cools but the flavor is still wonderful. This is my daughter's favorite alfredo sauce. I like to thrown in some sauteed mushrooms because I love them so much.
RubyB08 Posted: 12/25/08
This was really bland...maybe because it was a "Cooking Light" recipe. I would try another recipe.
adluethi84 Posted: 03/23/09
The cheese and the half/half didn't blend very well. The cheese was very clumpy and didn't look appetizing.
NancyVA Posted: 02/22/09
This is my go-to alfredo sauce. It is so easy to make and it can stand-up to any restaurant style alfredo sauce. No one will know it is "light".
Laurie77 Posted: 02/08/09
This recipe is okay for a basic alfredo sauce. If you want it to taste like it's from a restaurant add a clove or two of finely minced garlic with the butter and stir in some fresh cracked pepper. Bumps up the taste but not the calories. If you prefer a pesto cream sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of prepared pesto instead of the garlic.
vbak66 Posted: 06/18/11
The grandsons rated this 5 stars! It was tasty, but I also added some extra butter, olive oil, and chopped garlic that I let saute for a few minutes before adding the cream. I used 2 cups cream because CL sauces usually tend to be a little skimpy. I also added some very creamy ricotta. I simmered the sauce for about a half an hour before it started to thicken up. I will make again.
Jahnavi Posted: 01/15/12
The cheese formed clumps. Is there any way to stop that from happening?
Scifibookcat Posted: 12/30/13
Very mild taste. I added extra parmesan and also some grated cheddar and ham and served it over penne pasta. The key to a smooth sauce is to add only 1/3 to 1/2 of the half and half to the pan and slowly add the cheese, stirring constantly with a whisk until it forms a very thick sauce. Then slowly add the remaining half and half while continuing to stir. This would make a great base to experiment with many variations, stirring in the add-ins after the sauce is smooth. I could see adding: sauteed onions, sundried tomatoes, sliced olives, pan-browned sliced polish sausage or hot links. You could also change the cheese to monterey jack or pepper jack and add diced green chilies and other mexican seasonings. Yum!

Ticket #5527 (closed defect: fixed)
[firmware] G1G1 users complain that the XO affectst their local network

After the first week of shipping laptops to G1G1 (build 650, 20.p42), we have 3 complaints about our XO affecting their laptops:
1) I am G4G4 user, trying to put together a project outside the US. I have the units for testing. Two have arrived.
I have discovered there is a major XO vs. Linksys conflict with the use of my Linksys WMP54GV4 router.
When I fire up an XO, the router goes down. I tried it this morning with the XO about 50' from the router and with a standard laptop about 40' from the XO. The router recovers with XO is shut down.
Any suggestions?
Can you suggest any standard routers that are compatible with the XO?
Thank you. Marvin
2) Wireless clients of my Belkin pre-N router become disconnected from the network and do not see the router as an available AP. When the OLPC is powered off the network becomes available again and all is normal for other clients.
I do see the OLPC as connected to the network using the Belkin but cannot see the internet, getting a message that the network is unreachable.
Given this behavior, is the OLPC a network destroyer?
Would love to get it going and stop it from disrupting my network.
Thanks. Barry Silverman
3) I cannot get my XO to connect to the wireless access point in my house. I have verified the athe WEP access key is correct. My router was originally set as WEP 64 bit so I changed to WEP 128bit and have a 26 character WEP key. I enter that many times when prompted and it will not connect. It is seeing my router with excellent signal strength (full green circle) but I cannot get it to connect. Several other "regular" laptops in the house will connect using the same Key. I looked at troubleshooting on www.laptop.organd on the wiki, but cannot find any additional items to try.
I just got my laptop this morning. I am an educator and am anxious to show this off to my students and my peers.
Any advice on what to try next?
Thanks, Randy Thomas

Popular Pennsylvanian Zane Zeiner, whose career achievements in outdoor Stock Car racing are wide ranging, will make his debut indoors this winter as a Three Quarter Midget entrant in the NAPA KNOW HOW Atlantic City and the Battle Of Trenton Indoor races presented by PRC Industries/ Angela House Charity, Indoor races. The two Len Sammons Motorsports Productions events are scheduled two weeks apart. Indoor racing inside Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall is now in its 12th consecutive year of action. Dates are Friday and Saturday January 24 and 25, 2014.The Trenton Sun National Bank Center schedule calls for Twin 20 lap features for the TQ Midgets and compete program of Slingshots on Friday, Feb. 8 and a compete program for TQ Midgets and Champ Karts on Saturday, Feb. 9. Hailing from Bath, Pa. near Allentown, Zeiner, who has been a winner at Wall Stadium, Oswego Speedway, Mahoning Valley Speedway and Mountain Speedway, is a quick study. His win in the 2012 Wall Stadium SK Turkey Derby came in just his second start at the track. He won the famed Race of Champions, now held at the Oswego, NY Speedway, in 2011. He closed out 2013 with a big win in the Octoberfast 130 at the Mahoning Valley Speedway. Zeiner will be among the nearly 100 TQ Midget participants ready for Atlantic City action. Collectively, they hail from a dozen states and one Canadian province. Fatheadz Eyewear will be returning as the series sponsor and will pay a bonuses to the top three overall TQ Midget driver from the two event, four feature race, series. Drivers will receive points based on their qualifying efforts and feature finishes from Friday and Saturday night at both events towards the overall series crown. Because of parking limitations, the Sun Bank Center can accept somewhat fewer TQ entries and are presently at capacity; would-be racers are still encouraged to file entries which will be added to a waiting list. Zeiner will have plenty of competition in both races. Among the outstanding entries who will join Zeiner in pursuit of their first Indoor wins are exciting Midget driver Carl Medeiros of Westport, Mass., former Bridgeport, N.J. Sprint Car champion Tim Iulg of Bridgeton, N.J., CAN AM Midget perennial contenders Todd Hoddick of Cheektowaga, N.Y,, and Erik Musto of Lockport, N.Y.; Indiana travelin' man Jason Ormsby of Warsaw, Ind., dirt track Modified specialist Richie Pratt, Jr., of Woodbury Heights, N.J., rising Sprint Car star Kyle Reinhardt of Neptune City, N.J., Todd Stone, dirt/asphalt Modified champion from Middlebury, Vt., past Atlantic City Indoor race winner Mike Tidaback of Little Falls, N.J., and Earl Paules of Palmerton, Pa..his career closely parallels Zane Zeiner's in scope and achievement. Anthony Sesely of Matawan, N.J., among the first entries for both Indoor races, is the defending champion of the NAPA KNOW HOW Gamblers' Classic Saturday night Atlantic City Indoor race. The always exciting identically prepared Slingshot division's roster for both the Atlantic City and Trenton races and has been boosted dramatically in the past two weeks by the entries of Modified star Anthony Perrego, established Mod talent Kevin Bates, and Micro Sprint tyro Kyle Lick. Perrego distinguished himself with a late season Modified win in the high profile 'Gobbler' race at Accord Speedway. Bates has been a top Modified driver and winner at Penn Can and Five Mile Point Speedways. Lick, who won the 600cc Dirt Micro Sprint race in 2013 in Atlantic City, recently announced his intention to move up to SpeedSTR division action in 2014. Perrego, Bates and Lick are among more than three dozen entries for Atlantic City, where the field has reached capacity. Entries are still being accepted for Trenton. The blindingly fast and exceedingly nimble Champ Kart class has filled the entry list at the Alantic City Indoor event though slots still do still exist to be part of the Trenton action. Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, Pa., Glen Meisenhelder of Feeding Hills, Mass., Douglas Stearly of Trappe, Pa., Andrew Swisher of West Chester, Pa., and Justin Gumley of Howell, N.J.are among most prominent entrants.

The Reason You Can't Be Happy. 28th Feb 2013. Taliesin Arts Centre, Swansea. FREE ENTRY.
the reason you can't be happy, l'objet petit a,
Fellow artist in residence Fern Thomas unveils her project.
I was - privileged isn't really the right word here, but it'll do - privileged to be hired back at the end of last year as part of the final editing and proofing team for Robert Francis QC's inquiry into the West Staffordshire Hospitals Trust, and the horrors that occurred in its remit in the last decade. It's not hard reading, as these things go, and if our health service matters to you, you should know about it, because it's a terrifying and hopefully instructive example of what happens when you take a public sector organisation and try to treat it like a profit-bearing business. And these things may yet be going on elsewhere in Britain.

Price paid: $ 170
Purchased from: Musician's Friend.com
Ease of Use: This pre-amp is absolutely amazing. I honestly have to say, I bought it just to try it out, see how I like the sounds and see which direction I wanted to take my equipment. Like as a starter rack effect, you know? But this thing freaking rules. I play mostly progressive black metal/death metal and this has the BEST tones ever. There are 4 rectifier sounding models, and a bunch of classic amps and clean amps and what not. What's awesome is that I can set presets for pretty much whatever sound I want. I have a Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Meshuggah, Dream Theater, Joe Satriani, and more. All on presets because of the tweakability and range of amp modeling. JCM800, Plexi's, Marshall, MESA/Boogie, Fender, etc. Amazingly brutal. // 10
Sound: I use Ibanez guitars mostly. And there is pretty much no feedback or noise, because it's all digital. And you'd think because of that, there would be massive clipping. But there's none. Seriously. No clipping. Just pure tone. And the effects, are top-notch. It's pretty insane that they could have all this in this amp, and make it sound the way it does. Seriously mind blowingly perfect. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I'd gig this thing for sure, it's a pre-amp. But I won't have a first show with it until October. But I was practicing with all 400 watts of my PA cranked with this thing plugged in directly to the input, and my guitar plugged into the V-Amp. It held up for all 5 hours without doing anything wrong, so it seems so far pretty trustworthy, and it sounds so damn good! // 10
Overall Impression: For me, with my death-metal and 80's shredding type stuff, this suits all my styles and abilities perfect. I've been playing for about 6 years, and this doesn't hold me back at all. It takes my playing further with it's amazing sounds. If it was stolen or lost I'd replace it immediately. I would die without it. The best thing about it for me is all the rectifier tones. Behringer seems like a pretty decent company for effects and such, and I'm going to continue buying from them. My only complaint is that it isn't powered. If they could do a powered rack amp exactly like this, my world would be complete. // 10
Price paid: $ 223.02
Purchased from: Music Store Professional
Ease of Use: The V-AMP Pro is an amazing piece of gear which one should purchase if he is not satisfied with his present sound. It has a really user friendly interface, a variety of patches that covers all styles, and an easy edit mose for the 125 presets. There is also the V-Amp 2 very similar but with no Xlr for recording. A must have piee of gear. // 8
Sound: The simulations of the amp (32 in total) and cabinet simulation (15 in total) give you a lage variety of sounds, with this u have a 3 band equilizer effects and a dedicated reverb knob. It's easy to get the sound of artist such as patrucci as there is the simulation of the amp they use. // 8
Reliability & Durability: Yes I depend on it, it never gave me problems or there was any lack in it performance. // 8
Overall Impression: I play all sorts of metal mostly black and I found the acustics sound really usefull. I had owned a DOD before which I sold after playing 1.5 years with it. I compared It with other brands such as the RP 150 DigiTech and the Zoom but for the same money you get less quality. // 10
Ease of Use: I bought this in mid-2004 to replace the 4th pedal destroyed by my mom's moody kitties. I figured "It's rackmount, should be fine", sure was right, now it's been my main home-recording device for 5+ years now.
Getting a good sound out of the V-AMP Pro using just the front panel can be a chore, but it's made much easier using the free software downloadabe via Behringer's website. Actually, that was my first foray into networking MIDI devices (you use the MIDI ports on the back of the V-Amp to control it via software, this is not a USB Plug n' play device). Also, the software allows wider control of the pedal, including allowing use of the internal wah function, allowing tweaks of the various reverbs and choruses availible as there are more than one variant of those effects.
And speaking of the effects let's mention the cab/amp sims, or what they are based on, for those that are, there are also some Behringer exclusive sims to allow more range in adjustment.
Amp and Cab sims include: Matchless Cheiftan, Buddha Twinmaster, Tweed Fender Champ, Tweed Fender Bassman 4X10, Roland Jazz Chorus 120, Fender Blackface Twin, Marshall JTM 45, Vox AC 30, Marshall Plexi, Mesa Boogie Mark IIc, Dumble, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Engl Savage 120, Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, Marshall JCM800
Effects include: Wah, Automatic Wah, Compressor, Chorus, Flanger, Panner, Phaser, Delay, Echo, and Reverb, with multiple types of each ranging from two to over 12. However, you can only Pick among these groupings
Either - Compressor, or Automatic Wah
Either - Leslie Sim, Panner, Phaser, Chorus, Flanger
Either - Analog Echo, Basic Delay, Ping Pong Delay
And about 12 types of reverb, only one selectable at a time, I tend to favor the Ultra-Room myself
The manual is very descriptive of all the effects, and amp and cabinet sims, and I used it to pull much of the information above. It's very descriptive, but you may need to look a few things up, also, Behringer even included a MIDI programming/function guide in back for someone Who might want to program a piece of 3rd party software for this device.
I'm running with the latest firmware (as of 2004) on it, I've never upgraded, and never seen a reason to since this has been so reliable and trouble-free for so long, hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
However, some may find this device a little hard to work with still due to all the buttons, I'm a button-monger myself so I actually like the design, but it's not for everyone. The Tap Tempo for the delay is a real plus in my book, and so is the ability to edit this thing via computer! The days of tweedling knobs and pressing lots of buttons for me has been over since I discovered that. I'll give it an 8, as I really do wish I could double up chorus and flanger, or possibly change the order of the signal path, or that it had an envelope follower or filter to mess with. There are some odd things I've had on previous devices that this does not have, but then it just gives me all the more reason to buy more pedals and expand my versitility the most. // 8
Sound: Check out the long list of gear I have on my profile, I play everything from Vintage-style Telecasters to souped up guitars with insane-ouput humbuckers at the bridge, the last of which is my main guitar, a Jag-Stang with EMG pickups. I will also have a ton of MP3's of this thing up soon on my solo project M.J.'s page on here as well.
I started off experimenting with amp models for awhile, but I had a particular sound in mind, so I took the following as my main sound for now...
- JCM 800 (Brit Hi-Gain) Amp Sim
- EVH 78' 4X12 (Edward Van-Halen 1978) Cab Sim
- Chorus 2 set to a slight whoosh in the background just barely detectable for more body and power
- Ultra-Room Reverb for that huge ethereal vibe
- Just a hint of compressor
- Noise Gate set as low as possible to allow for smooth volume swells and gain decrease using the volume knob on my guitar
I use this sound on most of my recordings, with varying levels of gain depending upon guitar, and weather or not I'm using a clean sound or a highly distorted sound, or somewhere in between. Almost all my youtube videos use it as well.
The Tube preamp is another favorite of mine with the default (lack) of a cab sim. Makes for a very clean nice clear sound, though it can sterilize the personality of the particular guitar a little bit because this is a transisot based product and not an analog tube device.
I've been able to nail a lot of tones of well known guitarists when I choose to. I had a very very convincing "Brown Sound" for awhile on there, think Fair Warning era Van-Halen. I also have pulled off Kurt Cobain, Billy Gibbons, Neil Schon, George Lynch, and Paul Dean on this thing to name just a few.
I also use this for bass guitar, the tweed Bassman setting works excellent, and with a little bit of gain added can really punch up the bass sound to be massive huge. That's one reason I don't have a separate device for doing bass tracks, I can do it all on the V-AMP Pro.
The effects sound great, but some of the modulation effects (ie. Chorus, Flanger, Leslie) can bring out some nasty digital ocillation effects if used too heavily. I find low sweep rates fare better than high ones for those effects. The delay is the best I've heard in a digital product, and the Reverb is included in that assessment.
Some of the amps to me don't sound so good, but then most of them are amps I don't particularly like much anyway (Vox AC30 and Marshall JTM45 being two of them). I'm more of a tight rock player, so that loose Overdrive those amps have just does not do it for me. // 8
Reliability & Durability: Five plus years and nary a single problem. That's what I call quality. I don't have much to say here. I don't gig this thing much at all, except when doing scratch tracks in the big recording studio. Most of the time it sits under my computer monitor in use for youtube videos, home recordings, and general jamming and practicing as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy a serenade at 4:00 in the morning on a 120 watt Bugera halfstack turned to one and rattling my floor. // 10
Overall Impression: Overall, I'll give it a nine, because it's lasted this long with me, and kept me pretty well satisfied, which is hard. I'm a tone chaser first and experimenter second, so it must sound good to my ears before I can justify keeping it or being happy with it. Also, I'm VERY hard on gear, and not a lot of stuff survives for long in my crazy little world.
I don't really have much more to say, because really, it does it's job so I can put together my music, and as long as it does that without failing me, I'll be happy. I'll give it a 9, since most ratings are an 8, and there's a 10 in reliability, which is a big plus in my book being as I hate gear that has lots of problems. Five plus years and no problems and has the sound I want, what more could I ask for? // 8

I've heard so much lately about new vaccines coming on the market, but I'm reluctant to get my son any shots that he doesn't really need. How do I know which ones he really should get?
- Graham
To protect them from a number of potentially serious diseases, kids should receive all the vaccinations recommended for them by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other immunization authorities.
Some parents choose not to vaccinate or only partially vaccinate their children — sometimes for safety concerns and other times for financial reasons. But new vaccines are licensed and recommended only after being thoroughly studied. And safety monitoring continues even after a vaccine has been approved.
If cost is an issue, kids can receive inexpensive or free vaccines through local public health clinics or community health centers. Prior to the start of school, state regulations differ regarding which vaccines are required.
If you have questions or concerns about which vaccines your son should receive, talk to your doctor.

During your stay in Jermuk, you can make trips to the beautiful places of attraction in Vayots Dzor Marz. There are numerous cultural and historical monuments in the region, among them: Surb Astvatsatsin (Areni), Gndevank, Noravank, Tsakhats Kar, Spitakavor, Surb Khach. And of course the Tatev Monastery, Shaki waterfalls and Zorats Karer (Karahunj) in Syunik, the latter being one of the most ancient observatories in the world, the equivalent of the Scottish Stonehenge.
The town of Jermuk has an affiliate of the National Gallery of Armenia, museums and libraries, a recreation park and clubs. Recently a new church has been built in Jermuk, too.
Good news for the fans of active rest: Jermuk now boasts a new cable car (ropeway) meeting international standards, which enables the mountain-skiers to enjoy the professional ski-runs. At the last stop of the ropeway a special playground is built for riding sledges. Snowmobiles are available as well.

Robin Williams
The death of Robin Williams was one of the hardest Hollywood losses in years, and last night (September 18) Billy Crystal dropped by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to talk about his heartfelt Emmy tribute last month.
During the chat, the "When Harry Met Sally" star recalled how he struggled to keep his composure as he addressed the audience- "I was afraid I wasn't going to get through it."
Ever since he passed away on August 11th, Robin Williams' financial state has been the subject of much debate.
While many have speculated that the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star was suffering from severe money problems, his inner circle has always denied this notion.
It's been a few weeks since the world lost Robin Williams, and last night (August 25) close friend Billy Crystal shared some kind words about the late and legendary entertainer.
During his remarks, the "When Harry Met Sally" actor highlighted several experiences he shared with Williams, always emphasizing Robin's humor and heart.
Just after news broke that Robin Williams died, most media personalities came out with responses right away.
However, David Letterman waited a week to share his thoughts and last night (August 18) the "Late Show" star honored the late comic genius with a touching video tribute.
He named his daughter Zelda Williams, and Robin Williams had always been a big fan of video games of all genres.
Following the tragic death of the "Dead Poets Society" star, fans amassed more than 100,000 signatures on a petition asking Nintendo to immortalize Williams in a new Legend of Zelda video game.
It's been a week since Robin Williams was discovered dead in his home, and months before he passed away, the "Jack" star recorded a video for a terminally-ill woman in New Zealand.
In a newly-released clip, Williams helped 21-year-old Vivian Waller feel a little more hopeful despite being diagnosed with lung, liver and bowel cancer.
He's been battling Parkinson's disease for decades so when Michael J Fox discovered that the late Robin Williams was also in the early stages of the disease when he died, he was taken aback.
The "Back to the Future" actor tweeted a message of condolence and support for Williams' family, noting that Robin was a big supporter of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for years.
He had well-documented struggles with addiction and depression and it turns out Robin Williams was also diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease not long ago.
The late "Good Will Hunting" star's wife Susan Schneider issued a statement today (August 14) to inform fans of the secret diagnosis.
It's still hard to believe he's gone, and while mourning for the loss of Robin Williams will continue for a long time, there's still joy in seeing him light up the silver screen.
The "Dead Poets Society" star is featured in a new clip from his forthcoming flick "Merry Friggin' Christmas," courtesy of Entertainment Tonight.
People all over the world have been grieved by the passing of Robin Williams, and English comedian Ricky Gervais had some kind words about the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star during his interview on "This Morning" today (August 13).
The "Office" mastermind gushed about Williams, who died on Monday, calling him "one of the loveliest men I've ever met."

Melghat Tiger Reserve
Home to as many as 35 tigers, Melghat Tiger Reserve is one of India's most vital tiger breeding habitats. Spread over 1676 sq km. Melghat means meeting of the ghats and it aptly describes the region with its endless hills, cliffs and steep routes.
It was one of the first nine tiger reserves that were notified in 1973-74 under the Project Tiger. About 225 km west of Nagpur in Amravati district near the Madhya Pradesh-Maharashtra border, Melghat Tiger Reserve encompasses the Melghat Sanctuary and the Gugarnal National Park in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.
The region has cliffs and crevices that make it extremely difficult to explore and acts as a natural defence against encroachers. Teak and bamboo forests form the most important habitat for tigers. Despite being found in large numbers, tigers are not easy to spot in Melghat. You may have to wait for a long time to spot the majestic cats.
The reserve also has a healthy population of raptors and eagles making it a haven for birdwatchers. Leopards and other wild cats are aplenty in the region with packs of wild dogs known as Dholes, jackals and hyenas much easier to spot.
Wolves and foxes have also been spotted in the forest. There are about 250 species of birds and 16 species of snakes that have been spotted in the reserve.
Of the 1676 sq km area of the tiger reserve, Melghat Sanctuary covers an area of about 788 sq km, Gugarnal National Park covers an area of over 361 sq and about 526 sq km is reserve forest area. The Tapti River has five tributaries – Sipna, Gadga, Khandu, Dolar and Khapra, all of which flow through the reserve. Melghat forms the catchment area to several streams and rivers.
The mountains that form a part of the reserve vary in height ranging from 656 ft to 3864 ft with the Vairat Devi Point being the highest point in the reserve.
The Melghat tiger reserve is open to all from October to June.
- Permits need to be acquired from the Conservator of Forests and Field Director to trek in the reserve.
- If you see or come close to a predator then slowly walk away, do not panic and do not run.
- Do not smoke in the reserve as it is a fire hazard.

Lady Antebellum 's Hillary Scott gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Eisele [pr: Eyes-lee], on July 22, and Hillary's band mates say the little one is already a looker.
"She's the most beautiful baby in the world, honestly," says Lady A's Charles Kelley . "I mean, Hillary and her husband Chris , they're both such good looking people that, I mean, the baby is just, she's so beautiful."
Charles adds that Eisele already has developed facial features. His band mate, Dave Haywood , agrees this little one is going to be a heartbreaker.
Says Dave, "We are biased, but truly, of all the babies I've seen, she is, like, the cutest. She is super-gorgeous."

Abiding Above - May 7, 2013
I Know I Am Saved…But?
May 7, 2013
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
The moment you were saved you enter into a relationship with God. Many years may have gone by since that time in your life and yet you know something is wrong. What ever happened to those days in your life when you were first saved? Why does God seem so distant? You can know that you are never out of relationship with God but you can be out of fellowship.
The reason we do not sense God's presence in our life is because of our unconfessed sin and therefore, we follow Him at a guilty distance. When we humbly bow before God and confess our sins, the weight is removed, the guilt is lifted, we are at peace with God and our fellowship is restored. Spend time alone with God and talk to Him today!

What if one day I wake-up to the realization that we have to move on? We have to face everyday challenges in our own separate paths. What if one day I see no meaning in those holding hands and warm hugs? What if seeing you is a hassle rather than a chance to enjoy ones company? What if one day I wake-up thinking there's no more us? Will I still hold on, believing that there's still love that can hold us together? Everything are just what-ifs.
"When you feel like quitting, think about why you started". And it all goes back to where it all started, and just simply makes me smile.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'd like to see, if at all possible, a post on the start of tanking in 4.0.1 for a level 80 tank. I've been trying it on my warrior on the PTR, and man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong now. The longer a fight goes, the LESS aggro I have. Vengence isn't bandaging anything for me. I've been warrior tanking since Vanilla, so I more or less know the class, but these changes leave me feeling VASTLY underwhelmed.
Sure, 80% of the people on the PTR are stupid. Not caring enough to learn the new mechanics and realizing how they need to change their play style. But I'd like to know what sort of "rotation" you'd need to use for single target and multi-target tanking. When a hunter's pet can pull a single mob off me 10 seconds after the pull, wth is the point of having a tank anymore?
Tanks on beta and PTR are totally broken and seem to go live like that if patch comes soon.
Its not dps, its us.
I mean lets have a look. I was doing dungeons on PTR and Beta. My group had spriest, lock and shaman.. it was nightmare.
I was building threat for 20 seconds on mob ALONE and spriest comes from afk and uses TWO ABILITIES and PULLS AGGRO.
The worst example is when hunter came on other group and hes pet had FREAKING GROWL on that did MORE THREAT than I DID for 7 seconds.
This cannot be intended change, the tanks are just broken. The threat has gone so that you might do 50% what you use to do at max. It would be totally impossible to tank current raids with these threat numbers. DPS raises to roof and tank threat lowers so that hunter pets growl overaggroes you? If the threat is balanced at 85 whats the point of playing for last months if its impossible to tank like this? It's legitimate question.
I dont mind harder tanking but this is just "what a heck?". The spriest ended up tanking 60% of the instance because I just couldnt hold aggro for more than taunt+2 seconds.
And I'm wearing ICC25 normal and hc gear and I KNOW what I'm doing and I HAD time on the mobs.
Note: Spriest was using mindspike that "causes high threat" now but its still not possible to pull aggro with one dot and one mindspike, now is it?
Feel your pain. I got a premade pally on the PTR (mine's only 75, but I know how to pally tank). It's the exact same. I have 1 of each of the tanking classes on live. My DK blows them all out of the water, but that's because Icy Touch is broke as all hell. But my ICC10 geared warrior and triumph geared druid can still do 5k+ tps in a random, which is MORE than fine. I know how to tank these things, but seriously, I can't even begin to try to learn the new system.
What are warriors supposed to do? Charge in, Shout, Shield Slam, Devistate x3, THEN let the dps take a shot? And what about DURING combat? Shield Slam whenever I can, Revenge whenever I can, Heroic Strike whenever I can? It feels like they've sucked a LOT of the fun out of tanking. My warrior on live always has something queued up and ready to be popped. I just don't understand how we're supposed to tank when our +threat abilities have cooldowns, and we're missing a lot of our threat with them screwing Heroic Strike up like they did.
Ok, end rant, I need a sandwich.

Electric vehicle software and information services company Recargo Inc., has launched a plug-in vehicle (PEV) research firm—PlugInsights—which released an inaugural report addressing the experiences, behaviors and opinions around charging a plug-in vehicle in America.
The sample for the study was drawn from PlugInsights' PEV panel, comprising more than 3,700 plug-in drivers of 17 different vehicle makes and models of plug-in hybrid, mid-range battery-electric vehicles and long-range battery electric vehicles (the Teslas), mathematically modeled to reflect the "real world". The growing panel will be the data source for upcoming PEV studies, and will be used for custom survey and focus group research with PlugInsights clients.

UMTRI survey explores receptivity of drivers to on-board carbon capture technology
September 17, 2013
Researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) recently conducted an online survey of driver option to determine how receptive drivers would be to adopting—and how much they might pay for—in-vehicle technology that reduce carbon emissions.
The driver survey is the team's second study on this topic; the first, published in 2012, provided a general review of the area, with a primary focus on post-combustion technologies for light vehicles: absorption; membrane separation; and adsorption. The first study concluded that factors that might affect driver acceptance of in-vehicle carbon capture included the added initial cost of the technology; the probable on-board storage required; possible impact on fuel economy; and changes in the routine tasks involved in vehicle upkeep. The researchers—John M. Sullivan, Michael Sivak, and Brandon Schoettle—developed the second study, the driver survey, directly to probe drivers on these issues.

Global auto executives have cooled a bit on the prospects for e-mobility, with a majority of automakers from both developed and emerging markets believing that internal combustion engines (ICE) will remain the dominant powertrain for some time, according to the 14th Annual Global Automotive Executive Survey conducted by KPMG LLP, the US audit, tax and advisory firm.
Two-thirds (67%) of respondents believe e-vehicles will represent 15% or less of total new car sales by 2025. Nevertheless, this still represents potential sales of up to 5.7 million in China, 2.5 million in India, 3.8 million in the US and 2.1 million in Western Europe.

Harris Interactive survey for Johnson Controls identifies consumer preferences for connected vehicles
January 09, 2013
According to a recent online survey conducted for Johnson Controls by Harris Interactive, US vehicle owners want to use their phones and existing apps to safely connect in their vehicles. Consumers want this process to be simple to use and for it to be convenient to download apps from traditional channels.
Johnson Controls says it will utilize the data to influence design and new product development of its future infotainment products. Some of the key findings from the study of more than 2,100 US adults include:

Strong Mayor: Johnson to pitch new ballot measure
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson has not been deterred by two court rulings that prevent his strong mayor initiative from being placed on the June ballot. His latest strategy is to ask the City Council to place a new strong mayor proposal on the ballot.
But Johnson's new plan, which he announced on his blog Monday afternoon, cannot include the existing strong mayor initiative. That's because Sacramento Superior Court Judge Loren McMaster struck down the initiative last month, saying it broke state law.
Johnson's blog entry does not explain the components of his new proposal. He described his new plan as a "collaborative executive mayor reform package." Joaquin McPeek, Johnson's spokesman, declined to specify details Monday night. McPeek said Johnson will take questions from reporters on the proposal Tuesday.
Johnson said in his blog that he would ask the City Council on Tuesday to consider his new plan.
"The time has come to spell out in simple language a handful of points necessary to make executive mayor reform work in Sacramento," Johnson wrote.
If the City Council decides to vote on a new measure, it will need to create a new proposal in 15 days. The City Council has a Feb. 23 deadline to prepare a measure for the June ballot.
"The City Council has the ability to put their own measure on the ballot," city spokeswoman Amy Williams said. "They are barred by Judge McMaster's order from placing the strong mayor initiative on the ballot."
Johnson's strong mayor goals have been stymied by two courts.
Plaintiff Bill Camp sued the city of Sacramento, the Sacramento City Council and Thomas Hiltachk, the attorney who wrote the strong mayor initiative. Making major changes to a city charter through an initiative conflicts with state law, Camp argued.
The January Sacramento Superior Court decision said the existing initiative would revise the city charter. A revision differs from an amendment because it makes major changes, according to the decision.
Johnson's initiative also faced problems at the 3rd District Court of Appeal, which last week decided that it would not temporarily halt McMaster's decision.
In a separate development last week, the group Sacramentans for Accountable Government held fundraisers for the initiative. Each person who attended a SAG luncheon at the Cosmo Café last Thursday paid $1,000. The contribution amount for an event sponsor was $5,000.
A second fundraiser focused on a conversation between Frank Luntz, a Republican consultant and pollster, and Willie Brown, who formerly served as California Assembly Speaker and mayor of San Francisco. The cost to attend that fundraiser was $100 per person.

Last year I gave you a few photographs of Chinese New Year in Hunan, 2004. This year, here are a couple of photographs of Chinese New Year meals in the far north of the country, in a remote part of Gansu Province in 1995. They were taken in the village that is the subject of the chapter 'Hungry Ghosts' in my book Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper. (Please forgive the poor quality of the images! I may try to scan them properly another time!)
On the right, you can see a pair of fish (fish are an almost obligatory part of New Year's Eve dinners because nian nian you yu is a phrase that can mean both 'fish every year' and 'plenty every year': so the dish is an auspicious play on words.) You can also see home-reared chicken, and chunks of meat from the pig the household had fattened up in the last months of the lunar year, as well as steamed buns (hua juan) dotted with food colourings to make them look more festive. In the cold, arid north, particularly in rural areas like this, wheaten foods such as hua juan, man tou 馒头 (plain steamed buns), deep-fried dough-twists (麻花 ma hua), noodles and dumplings are normally eaten rather than rice.
On the left, you can see several of the ingenious ways in which local people transformed one kind of food (pork) into many different tastes and textures. In the centre there are chunks of meat, on the bone; on the top left a stir-fry of lean meat and green onions or chives; centre bottom a kind of meatball wrapped in eggskin, steamed and then sliced; bottom right some 'pearly meatballs' made from minced pork studded with whole rice grains; and on centre right slices of a jelly made from the skin, which I was given in every single household, and which was usually made in a few different colours, using food colourings. And on the top left, you can see a few steamed buns, which were eaten with the main dishes.
Anyway, I must stop writing and start cooking, because I have some people coming over for a New Year's dinner and it's getting late! On the menu: spinach with either a gingery or sour-hot dressing (haven't decided yet), spicy cucumber salad, a stew of red-braised wild venison with beancurd sticks, Gong Bao chicken, stir-fried pork and yellow chives, steamed wild sea bass with ginger and spring onion, Chinese broccoli with ginger, fish-fragrant aubergines (I find it hard to do a dinner party without them, and they are often the most popular dish), and a couple of other dishes TBC. Oh, and some of the winter meats mentioned in my previous post, steamed, sliced and served with ground chillies and Sichuan pepper in homage to my beloved Chengdu. The stew is simmering away as I finish this post, wafting out lovely aromas of fermented chillies and beans, ginger, spring onion, venison and star anise.
Happy New Year!

One person is dead after being trapped inside a burning house in north Austin near Mo-Pac and Parmer Lane.
Flames are what first got Andrew Kurio's attention early Thursday morning. Before firefighters arrived he ran to the house down the street and saw a man climbing out a second story window.
"I was like jump, jump, jump you now get out of the house it's on fire. So he jumped and I caught him. And he was in shock He didn't realize the house was on fire.
Kurio says two other men made it out of the home. But when heard a fourth roommate was still inside he rushed to his truck to grab a ladder.
"I started trying to climb up there and I got about halfway and it got rocky so I got a little scared," said Kurio.
It was the same for another neighbor Mark Lupercio, who wanted to help.
"There was nothing you could see to do to help, the flames were so intense," said Lupercio.
When firefighters arrived the second floor of the house where the fire started was engulfed. The houses on each side were also damaged by the heat and flames, in fact several homes were evacuated. The intensity of the two alarm fire so intense it pushed firefighters back into defense mode.
It was then Battalion Chief Palmer Buck says his crews had a tough choice to make.
"After they talked to the other three roommates, they said somebody was still trapped inside at that point the second story was already coming down it was a non-survivable event and so a very difficult decision but a decision was made not to try to go back inside because there was nothing to back inside to save at that point," Buck said.
After the fire was under control investigators were allowed inside to make a tragic discovery.
"Crews have located a deceased person inside the rubble of the home behind us," Buck said.
For this tight knit community who used hoses and fire extinguishers to help keep the flames from nearby homes the loss of one of their neighbors is devastating.
"That's extremely sad. It's the worst part," Lupercio said.
The cause of the fire has not been determined at this time. Also officials have not released the identity of the victim.
The cost of the damage from the fire to all three homes is estimated at $260,000.

Even if we should gather all the water of the four great oceans to wet inkstones, burn all the trees and plants to cinders to make ink, collect the hairs of all beasts for writing brushes, employ all the surfaces of the worlds in the ten directions for paper, and, with these, set down expressions of gratitude, how could we possibly repay our debt to the Buddha?

► Prompt: Everything For You ◄
He was always there.
He trusted you when everybody else still was reluctant.
He was your light in the emptiness that was your memories.
"I will help you picking up the pieces (Name)." he said, his gaze locking with your (e/c) eyes.
"But what if Lucina is right? What if I really hurt you!" you almost screamed at him, tears threatened to appear .
The thought of hurting him, of killing him; the one person you fell in love with, the one person you married and had a child with. It was too much it drove you to the brink of insanity.
"Shh, don't say that. Stay focused, I know you always find a way, you are our master tactician after all, right?" he said calmly, pulling you closer to him.
Warm tears were now soaking his blue shirt as you sobbed quietly in his embrace. His kind words were just as painful as they were the only thing that kept you sane.
"I trust you." he said pulling your chin up, locking your gazes as you felt him pull you closer towards him. His warm breath ghosted over your face before he captured your lips into a needing kiss. Your lips fell in sync, you pushed yourself closer to him, deepening the kiss; both telling what you didn't dare to speak.
I give everything for you.
