Tuc Watkins shared that one of his top scenes was when David Vickers kissed Rama at Shelter, leading to a prickly confrontation with Dorian Lord, his wife. "Dorian is so much sexier when she's seething." Melissa Archer told us that one of her favorites had to be Clint's sincere apology to Natalie (which she finally accepted). Last, but certainly not least, One Life to Live executive producer Jennifer Pepperman dished her fifteen absolute favorites – of course, David Vicker's Saturday Night Fever entrance at Club Shelter was at the top of the list!

1. Jeffrey is revealed as a mole! Who saw it coming? Not even Llanview's resident intellectual, David Vickers.
2. Marnie Schulenberg is playing the head of the network producing "The Life and Times of Vickerman!" She obviously has excellent taste (and she is HILARIOUS).
3. Anything Jerry verDorn does (especially in the final week!) I can't wait to see how his meltdown affects everyone in Season 2. I hope he spends some time in a Moroccan prison.

I believe that fat people are more than just the fat they carry. They are more than the stereotyped image of the fat person who is lazy and eats all day. They have lives and families. Yet they seem to be open targets for public shame and humiliation. It seems that so many people are all too willing to poke fun at someone who is fat because of some preconceived notion that all fat people choose to be that way. Just because fat is so obvious. It cannot be hidden. It can't be tucked away within ourselves or stuffed in a box and stored under the bed. It can never be a secret.
I'm pro-fat acceptance because I am pro-human rights. Fat people have a right to feel comfortable in their own skin. They have a right to leave their houses without shame or fear of being mocked. Other people do not have to like it, but they certainly do not have a right to make someone feel less than human because of it.
The Fat Grackle
and they're always getting this messages from people who always say things like, "I love curvy people, but…" and go on to accuse blog owners of 'glorifying obesity' and then gripe about how there's an 'epidemic' of fatness in the USA and it is ALL THIS BLOG OWNER'S FAULT.
When in the real world, where the rest of us live, fat people are stared at, written off, pushed out of stores by high prices or clothes that straight up won't fit, laughed at, only cast in anything as the butt of a joke, called names, told to wear more clothes because 'NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT', and generally treated as less-than-human, all for the HORRENDOUS CRIME of a higher body fat percentage.
I've never been fat, and I know there's more to it than the aggressions I just listed, though I haven't experienced it. I'm not here to speak for fat people.
However, I will say that fat bodies are beautiful too, and are more than the butt of a fucking joke. Telling people who are fat that's it's okay to love their bodies and themselves, when everything else in the world says, 'NO THEY CAN'T' isn't glorifying obesity, you self-righteous asshats. It's every human being's right, at every size and shape.
You know what the fuck there's an epidemic of? Self-hatred and body hatred. This attitude, that our size and how far we can run and how many salads we fucking eat is somehow virtuous, as if it says anything about a person's character other than that they have discipline, I guess, is ri-goddamn-diculous.
Stop fucking worrying about other people and their bodies, and start worrying about your character. Everybody has a right to love their body. Everybody has a right to love themselves. Get the fuck off your high horse before a knee injury or a thyroid problem or SOMETHING, ANYTHING, drags you off of it.

Areas of Law Description
The Baumgartner Law Firm provides legal representation in the following areas of practice:
- Truck Accidents
At the Baumgartner law firm we help victims of commercial vehicle accidents seek civil justice. Not only do we help families in Houston but also in cities and towns across the state of Texas. Our level of expertise in commercial vehicle accidents is unparalleled and we are the go to firm for truck accidents in Texas.
- Big Rig Tire Blowouts
Tire blowouts on big tractor-trailers is overwhelmingly common, and probably happens hundreds of times a day across the United States. Simple maintenance and inspections as each driver should perform during every stop along their route would prevent this happening almost entirely. An industrial tire under full air pressure and the weight of its load is like a small bomb detonating when it blows. The rubber, and ancillary parts of the tire and wheel can fly off and smash through automobile's windows, or if hit just right perforate the metal of a passenger or driver's door. When a directional for front tire blows or has a rapid loss of air on a big rig catastrophic situations can materialize in an instant, and cause a pileup style accident with many or even dozens of injuries. Frequently, we seek a truck jackknifing from a front tire blowout.
- Truck Maintenance
A state did a study recently on the correlation between defective mechanical parts and equipment on semi-trucks and the likelihood this will lead to a truck accident. Their findings were released in a national report – and were nothing short of shocking. Researchers began by looking at a number of semi-truck accidents that focused on trucks recently examined by the state highway patrol for dangerous and faulty problems. These truckers were ticketed and required to respond within a short period of time. When a semi-truck is found to be "out of service" with bad brakes it is 1.8 times more likely to be a cause of a semi-truck accident according to another national study.
- Bad Brakes
It doesn't take a Texas truck accident attorney to know that semi-trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars. Accident reconstruction textbooks even include formulas for calculating the stopping distance of a big rig and all of the leading software used by accident reconstruction experts does the same thing. Given the length and distance to stop the big rig with good brakes it makes the condition of the brakes on the tractor and trailer significantly important to avoid some accidents. If the brakes are not adequately and properly maintained, or out of adjustment, the consequences can be devastating if the semi-truck must be stopped quickly.
- Jackknife Accidents
Eighteen-wheeler accidents of any kind are usually a catastrophic event for anyone involved. These can be caused by many variables that come into play while this forty to eighty thousand pound transport vehicle is sailing down a highway or inner city freeway. As most safety experts will to you, the majority of commercial truck wrecks and accidents are usually avoidable. Many tractor-trailer mishaps occur for reasons that pertain to the driver's awareness, and the condition of the truck equipment.
- Improperly Loaded Trucks
Some of the 18 wheeler accidents that happen in Texas are as a result of a commercial truck not being loaded properly. Not only must a truck driver ensure his load is properly secured when he begins the trip but he is required to re-examine the cargo and how it secured periodically during his trip. Customarily re-examination is supposed to occur when a driver changes duty status or after the truck driver has driven for three hours or 150 miles.
- Speeding Trucks
When a commercial truck driver steps behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler the responsibility as a professional driver is different from that of the normal person driving their passenger car. A tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds without a special permit. An 18 wheeler takes longer to stop than a passenger car, as a rule of thumb it takes a semi-truck about one third longer to stop than a car or pickup truck. This makes the reaction time and speed of the commercial vehicle critically important.
- Garbage Truck Accidents
In major metropolitan areas such as Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio garbage trucks and dump trucks injure and kill more pedestrians per mile traveled than any other vehicle. Garbage trucks have real safety issues in blind spots on the side and rear of the truck.
- Tractor-Trailer Accidents on Interstate 10
Interstate 10 is the 4th longest interstate highway in the United States and is only shorter than I -90, I -80 and I -40. Interstate 10 runs from coast-to-coast and stretches from Santa Monica, California to Jacksonville, Florida and it is one of the highways in Texas that sees the most tractor-trailer truck accidents.
- Fedex Truck Accident
As everyone knows FedEx has become one of the leading if not the leading small package carrier in the United States. As a consequence, each and every day in almost every neighborhood in America a FedEx truck is delivering packages. With the advent of the Internet and Internet shopping the explosion of home delivery services such as FedEx has made shopping much easier for the average American.
- UPS Truck Accident
As home and business deliveries increase so do truck accidents by commercial vehicle drivers such as UPS. Delivery services are increasing at record levels, this is partly due to the increase in gas prices as well as the ease of ordering products on the Internet. Delivery services such as UPS are under extreme time deadlines to get the packages delivered within a certain amount of time. The driver being in a hurry is never a good situation for community safety.
- Tanker Truck Accident
Semi-truck accidents usually involve serious injury or wrongful death. Tanker trucks increase the risk of very serious injury or death because they sometimes carry extremely dangerous liquids that can lead to a fire or explosion. Hazardous materials are transported each and every day across the state of Texas by tanker trucks.
- Under Ride Accidents
The actual term "under ride accidents" is not in the mainstream of phrases that the average person hears much if any during their lifetime. An under ride is a term associated with a vehicle coming into contact with an 18 Wheeler, and becomes pinned underneath the trailer from behind, or in the middle. Many of these accidents occur as a rear end collision when a driver slams into the tractor-trailer combo. The extra height and clearance underneath the trailer make for a deadly combination when a standard height automobile collides into the back of cargo carrier.
- Truckers Insurance Coverage
Most truck accidents involve serious injury and /or death. Because a typical rig can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, occupants of a 4000-pound passenger car have little chance to escape serious injury on impact. Given the serious injury potential of large commercial vehicles the minimum insurance required for commercial trucks over 10,000 pounds and subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations is $750,000. It has been our experience that motor carriers carry at least a 1 million dollar primary policy and most companies with more than a few trucks carry and umbrella policy.

Survival Damages in Texas
Survival damages in Texas are brought by the estate seeking damages that would have accrued to the decedent because of the accident and prior to his death. Often accompanying a Texas wrongful death lawsuit are pleadings relating to survival damages. Such a pleading, is appropriate when there was a question about the conscious pain and suffering or there were medical expenses and of course the funeral expenses of the family.Read Article
Stopping Distances for Big Rigs
Generally, at 65 mph the typical passenger car or light pickup truck driver will travel a total of 316 feet from the first awareness of danger before coming to a final stop. The semi-truck driver takes much longer traveling out 525 feet before coming to a final stop. In the reconstruction of a truck accident the stopping distance of the tractor–trailer can be a critical component.Read Article
The Importance of Black Box Data After a Truck Accident
The onboard computer or "black box" is now included on most of the big trucks on the highway and also on newer passenger cars. Information stored by the onboard computers has become critically important in the reconstruction of a serious truck accident.Read Article
Truck Accident Litigation vs. Passenger Car Cases
The difference between commercial vehicle litigation and normal car wrecks is substantial and requires special expertise and experience on the part of the law firm handling the claim. There are very big differences between a commercial vehicle accident lawsuit and a passenger car versus passenger car accident case. The 1st point is obvious and that is that the truck driver is a professional driver and must follow different rules of the road and different safety procedures than mom or dad.Read Article
Hours of Service Exemption for Oilfield Drivers
In a recent regulatory rule interpretation, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), offered guidance on what is known as the "oilfield exception" to the hours of service regulation for commercial truck drivers. Generally the hours of service rules are contained in Section 395 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.Read Article
Evaluating a Head Injury Case
A blow to the head and accompanying traumatic brain injury can be very difficult for the victim and also requires the personal injury attorney to have a working knowledge of head injury treatment and diagnosis. By far the most common type of head injury is a concussion, which can have varying degrees of associated problems.Read Article
Texas and Drunk Driving Accident Damages
In short, Texas drunk driving accident cases pose a significant risk to insurance companies who choose to go to trial. Over the last twenty-five years much as changed in Texas for personal injury victims.

Distracted Driving the New Epidemic
With the explosion of smart phones, text messaging, e-mail and real-time communications came the unexpected consequence of an increase in car and truck accidents because the driver was distracted at the time or shortly before the crash. Much has changed in the last ten years and the changes have had a significant and profound impact on our ability to communicate with each other.Read Article
18 Wheeler Accident Lawsuits in Texas after Tort Reform
One of the major changes in the new law was how the personal injury victims are compensated for their medical expenses. The statute now requires that innocent victims can only obtain medical expenses "actually paid or incurred".Read Article
Fuel System Integrity Cases
A subcategory of product liability or automotive defect litigation is the fuel system integrity case. Fuel system integrity relates to the ability of the fuel system to limit or prevent fuel leakage and fires after an accident. Generally, successful fuel system integrity cases have equated to very large jury verdicts in the state of Texas.Read Article
Bifurcated Trials in Texas on Punitive Damages
In Texas, only the defendant can move the court to separate an issue of exemplary damages from the actual damage part of the lawsuit. A defendant must make a motion to bifurcate the trial before the jury selection begins, absent a pretrial scheduling order setting an earlier date.Read Article
Selecting an Austin Personal Injury Attorney
Choosing the right Austin personal injury attorney to help you recover compensations for injuries sustained due to the fault of another can be a confusing task. There are many Austin personal injury lawyers who claim vast experience in helping injury victims who seek to obtain fair and just compensation, however a limited number have the resources and experience necessary to handle a catastrophic injury or complex personal injury or wrongful death case.Read Article
How to Choose a Texas Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents are notorious for leaving behind serious injuries or turning fatal. When the commercial truck driver is careless or the trucking company does not properly train their drivers or maintain the vehicles and it causes a truck accident, victims may be entitled to compensation. Finding the right Texas truck accident attorney can be a critical step in the battle for compensation with the insurance carrier or the trucking company.Read Article

Two groups will meet at noon Friday at Cherry Creek State Park to mark the first anniversary of the Aurora movie theater massacre — one will remember those killed by guns, and the other will rally to support the Second Amendment.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns will hold a remembrance at the park for the victims of gun violence, Mayors Against Illegal Guns outreach and policy associate Stephen Barton said.
"It's an opportunity for the community to come together and remember the 12 who were killed and 70 others injured," said Barton, who was shot in the neck and wounded by shrapnel when a gunman opened fire July 20, 2012, during a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."
The remembrance event begins at noon at the Smoky Hill Shelter. Victims of gun violence and family members of some who were killed in the theater shooting will address the crowd and read the names of gun violence victims from across the country. The roll call is expected to end at 12:38 a.m. Saturday, to mark to official moment when gunshots were fired inside the Century Aurora 16.
Windsor-based Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has planned a counter-rally at noon Friday at the Smoky Hill Shelter.
"We'll be answering Mayor Bloomberg," Rocky Mountain Gun Owners executive director Dudley Brown said.
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg organized and funds Mayors Against Illegal Guns. The organization lobbied for stricter gun controls nationally and in Colorado, where four initiatives passed in the last legislative session, including limits on ammunition magazine size and universal background checks.
The gun owners' gathering will be a "peaceful counter-rally to tell big city gun-grabber Bloomberg to keep his hands off of our Constitutional rights," according to the organization's Facebook page.
State parks officials said participants in both rallies will need to pay the $9 per car gate fee to enter.

Design your own sunglasses thanks to a new eyewear brand, which makes the consumer the designer.
Sunglasses are a hot, and never out of style fashion accessory. However, with the many varieties that are massed produced, finding a design that's unique and suitable to your facial features and coloring is not as easy as it seems.
C J Blanx is an exciting and innovative sunglasses brand that allows the customer to design and create their very own stylish pair of eyewear. Corey Connolly, founder of C J Blanx, said the idea for the eyewear brand originated because Connolly was attracted to the concept of allowing the consumer to select what they want, similar to that of mainstream sneaker names.
Some brands like Nike and Converse were enabling their customers to customize their shoes. So I thought it was time to let consumers of sunglasses tell the manufacture what they want to wear, not what the manufacturer wants them to buy.
Corey then looked to his roots from Down Under and towards the sunny seaside to further brainstorm his customizable sunglasses idea.
Growing up on the Sunshine Coast, Australia notorious for its sunshine, I always loved sunglasses as a fashion accessory. I think they can really change the look of someone and compliment their mood and outfit. But I was sick of seeing the style and brand of 'sunnies' I was wearing on every other person.
The founder of C J Blanx turned his innovative idea into 12 signature styles with eight acetate frames that are semi-vintage inspired. Two half rim metal frames and two aviator style frames are made out of nickel with over 160,000 variations. There are between five and seven arm shapes to go with each frame, 40 colors to choose from and seven different lens shades. Customers of the personalized fashion accessory also have the option to polarize and have your name written on the inside of the temples (arms).
Ed Lower, last year's "Big Brother" contestant, is an ambassador for CJ Blanx and is intrigued by the concept behind the eyewear brand.
I love C J Blanx. It's cool, young and enables you to choose your own 'sunnies' based on your fashion sense. The business model and concept is very clever. Easily accessible, so many choices tailored to your own needs and delivered right to your door.
Made from acetate frames and CR-39 lenses, which are some of the strongest materials available, the C J Blanx sunglasses are durable for those who aren't light of hand.
A C J Blanx pair of sunglasses can take around four to six weeks to manufacture because each pair is individually handmade and not put in to a mass production line. The customizable eyewear retails between $328 and $365 with $5 from every sale donated to the charity of the customer's choice.
Create the way you look this coming spring with a customizable pair of sunglasses from C J Blanx, the ultimate fashion accessory.

Gulf States Turn to Iran, Russia for Internet
Sometimes, it takes a real disaster to create something genuinely new. March 2013 was a month of disasters in the Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East African Internet, with major submarine cable cuts affecting SMW3, SMW4, IMEWE, EIG, SEACOM, and TE-North.
One of the "genuinely new" Internet traffic paths that emerged in response is a counterintuitive terrestrial route, linking the ancient Indian Ocean trade empire of Oman with the Internet markets of Western Europe, by way of Iran, Azerbaijan, and the Russian Caucasus. As we'll see, its effects are now being felt across the region, from Pakistan, to Gulf states like Bahrain and Oman, to Kenya.
The EPEG (Europe-Persia Express Gateway) consortium was actually born in June 2011, as an alternative to the congested, politically uncertain Suez transit corridor. EPEG links together existing fiber routes from the Iranian, Azeri, and Russian incumbents, connected to Cable and Wireless's network to approximate a Great Circle route to Frankfurt. With the aid of one final submarine hop across the Strait of Hormuz to Muscat, EPEG promised to deliver a major new low-latency, high-capacity terrestrial route to carry the Gulf states' traffic to Europe.

It was 31 years ago today, at about 8 p.m., that a fire ripped through the Las Vegas Hilton — once known as the International Hotel and now as LVH – Las Vegas Hotel — trapping some guests in hotel rooms while others used sheets to climb to safety.
Eight people died and 200 were injured. Damage was estimated at $13 million.
The Las Vegas Sun reported the next day that "enormous clouds of smoke billowed from the 2,300-room hotel. Hundreds of onlookers thronged around the hotel, creating massive traffic problems for Metro police. There were reports that fights broke out among people milling outside the hotel."
Investigators later said a busboy set an eighth-floor lobby curtain on fire with a marijuana cigarette, starting the fire. Philip Bruce Cline was convicted of arson and is serving eight life terms plus 15 years in state prison.
The Hilton fire came just months after a fire at the MGM Grand killed 87 people and injured about 700.

A Daily Word - Apr. 24, 2011
April 24
Go On Despite Your Weakness
… let the weak say, I am strong.
Joel 3:10 KJV
Paul thrived on this principle. "My strength is made perfect in weakness," God told him (2 Corinthians 12:9). And Paul responded, "when I am weak, then I am strong." This promise was proven in Paul's practical living. Imprisoned in Rome, there were those willing to remind Paul of the nasty things some had said about him. Then there were the Roman rulers and soldiers who kept him in lock and chain. But rather than being embittered, Paul was "content" (Philippians 4:11). He lived on and by the promises of God and knew that though he was a "weak" prisoner, he was strong. History shows he was stronger than Caesar!

Interview and Book Excerpt: Hani Suleiman & Cedric Beust, "Next Generation Java Testing: TestNG and Advanced Concepts"
InfoQ.com recently sat down with Hani Suleiman and Cédric Beust the authors of Next Generation Java Testing: TestNG and Advanced Concepts to discuss the book and their thoughts about testing in general. InfoQ is also pleased to offer an excerpt from chapter 2 of the book, "Mocks and Stubs".
Software Testing With Spring Framework
Srini & Kavitha Penchikala provide an overview of the support provided by Spring framework in the areas of unit and integration testing. I will use a sample loan processing web application to help the readers in implementing an Agile Testing framework in a typical Java EE application and how to use Spring test classes to test the application functionality.
Unit-Testing XML
There are many occasions where software creates XML output: XML documents are used for data interchange between different applications, web application create (X)HTML output or respond to AJAX requests with XML, and this has to be tested as much as anything else. In this article, Stefan Bodewig explains how to perform those tests with the XMLUnit framework he has co-authored.
Testing Ajax Applications with Selenium
Jeff Xiong shows how to use Selenium, a browser-based acceptance testing tool, to test Ajax apps. 8
Using Logging Seams for Legacy Code Unit Testing
Using logging seams you can easily create unobtrusive unit tests around legacy classes, without needing to edit class logic as well as avoiding behavior changes. 3

The Indian inventor Dr. Milind V. Rane was a freelance consultant when he conceived and developed the design for the Matrix Heat Recovery Unit (MHRU). The invention relates to a heat exchanger. It can be used for recovering heat from hot gases and/or vapors from engines, gensets, boilers or furnaces. Heat is recovered in the form of steam, hot water or hot thermic fluid. The design was motivated by the need to develop a heat recovery unit to address certain limitations of the prior art, which were based on shell and tube configuration with gas or water tube designs.
The inventive step of the invention was the combination of at least two sets of heat transfer passages encapsulated in a conducting matrix, wherein one of the sets carries hot gases and the heat recovery fluid passes through the other set.
Dr. Rane's invention was found to have various advantages over existing products, including the following:
- Simple design
- Low fouling
- Low gas side pressure drop
- High heat transfer coefficients
- Low fluid retention volumes
- Compact design
- High reliability
- Modular design
- Quick steaming
- Low cost (20 to 25% lower than that of conventional design)
|Figure 1 shows the installation of MHRU's for steam generation, setup on two 1000 kVA Diesel Gensets. It can be seen that the size of the steam generator is smaller than the muffler of the Genset. Size of a conventional steam generator would have been larger than the engine.
From Concept to Commercialization
Through a mutual friend, Dr. Rane was introduced to the General Manager of M/s Unidyne Energy Environment Systems Pvt Ltd., a small-scale industry based in Mumbai. Unidyne had engaged in the manufacturing and sale of direct and waste heat fired boilers and various industrial thermal energy systems for some time. Following a demonstration of the invention to the company, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed with Unidyne by which a license was granted to Unidyne to manufacture and sell the MHRUs as engine exhaust fired steam generators and water and thermic heaters.
As per the MOU, a down payment was made at the time of signing and subsequent payments were made after achieving various milestones during the demonstration phases. The agreement stipulated a royalty rate of 4.5% of net sales for the inventor, and the costs of patent filing and maintenance are borne by the company. The patent was not assigned to the company but it was agreed that the technology would not be licensed to any other company in India as long as a minimum royalty payment schedule is met.
Patent Prosecution
A provisional specification for MHRU was filed in India in 1999 after successful demonstration of the invention to the company. The first examination report was received from the Indian patent office in early 2004. The Patent Agent was changed mid course and the patent specification and claims had to be amended. After a hearing at the patent office and a few office actions with the patent examiner, the patent has been accepted on 12/10/2004. It is now awaiting publication in the Gazette of India. If there is no opposition, the patent will proceed to the grant stage. The invention was licensed on the basis of the patent application.
Marketing of the Invention
Currently, over 45 MHRUs have been installed in various companies in India. They are installed on engine gensets in the range of 165 kVA to 6 MVA fired with diesel, gas, furnace oil and biogas. Initially, MHRUs were marketed through the company's existing network. Subsequently, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) contract was signed with Cummins Diesel Sales and Services (CDSS).
MHRUs have been installed for the following applications:
- Water heating up to 90oC (un-pressurized) and up to 180oC (pressurized)
- Steam generation up to 20 bar
- Thermic fluid heating up to 330oC
- Furnace oil heating up to 130oC
Conclusions and Lessons Learnt
For Unidyne, the agreement represented an important move as it enabled it to enhance its product portfolio and widen its technology and customer base. For the inventor, the license provided a vehicle for the commercialization of the invention. Revenues generated from the down payment and the royalties have helped for the development of other inventions.
Since this was the inventor's first exposure to the patent system, and due to lack of adequate initial guidance, the invention was only filed in India. The priority period lapsed without filing applications abroad. With hindsight, this proved to be a mistake, as the market for the MHRU extends beyond the national boundaries.
Amending the claims to the patent specification during the patent prosecution stage was an important step to be able to effectively protect the invention. Interactive sessions with the patent agent has also opened up new avenues and the inventor has now filed Indian as well as PCT applications for 12 other inventions, including:
- Energy efficient liquid desiccant regeneration (WO 03070356)
- Energy efficient absorption system (WO 03071197)
- Multi-utility vapor compression system (not yet published)
- Tube heat exchanger (WO 2004 051168)
- Freeze concentration system (WO 2004 045738)
- Energy efficient conditioning of air using liquid desiccant (WO 2004 081462).
Some of these are already in the process of being licensed for commercialization.

today's reading.
Acts 17:1-15 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews...
think about it.
Outline Paul's presentation in the synagogue in Thessalonica (17:1-4). How could you use that approach as you talk about the Gospel? Why did Paul move on from this city (17:5-9)? How did the response in Berea differ (17:10-12)? What does this tell you about testing what you hear?
the blog.
Paul's life and travels were an adventure. There was rarely a dull moment, and we see that as we begin Acts 17 today. Paul and associates arrive in Thessalonica and start preaching about Christ. All is well until the Jews get jealous and intentionally incite quite an uproar. So, Paul, Silas and Timothy move on to Berea and begin preaching there. However, the Jews in Berea receive and react to them differently because of their wise approach. "Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so."
So what can we learn and put into practice from the church at Berea? Tami W.

Yesterday, I was finally able to take a trip to Giants training camp, at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center, to view a practice in person. Tomorrow, I'll write a blog about the overall experience, but I wanted to run down some of the developments from the actual practice as soon as possible.
Mishaps & Miscues
- Tight end, Larry Donnell, went down and immediately grabbed his leg after making a catch in offense vs defense team drills. It looked like a non-contact injury, which is never a good sign. The second year man out of Grambling was having a very strong camp and had a good shot at making the 53-man roster. In an earlier part of practice, the Giants offense was running drills in front of us and Donnell's size impressed me so much that I tweeted, "Larry Donnell is gigantic, by the way". There is some positive news this morning about Donnell's injury as Conor Orr of The Star-Ledger tweeted, "From last night, sounds like there's no tear for Donnell, per @WesBridgesEsq, so good news for the #Giants and for Larry."
- The Giants offense was practicing mostly screen passes when they were working on their own right in front of where I was standing. The only drop I saw came from Ryan Torain, who is on the roster bubble.
Thought & Observations
- The offensive line was running drills close by and I was not very impressed with the size of first round pick, Justin Pugh. When the Giants selected Pugh, I was skeptical of his ability to play right tackle at the NFL level. From what I could see, I think he's going to have to bulk up a bit.
- My favorite drill to watch up close was the quarterbacks practicing fade routes near the goal line. Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks took turns as receiver and defender during the drill. Nicks's hands are incredible, and Eli Manning threw some perfect fade passes.
- Josh Brown was consistently getting his kickoffs into the end zone, which would be a big help to the special teams coverage unit.
- It was hard to see the offense vs defense drills because they were on the far field, but one play that really stood out to me was a deep pass from Eli down the left sideline to Reuben Randle. It reminded me of plays Eli would hit Mario Manningham on. I think we could be seeing a lot of Eli to Randle deep connections this season.
- Antrel Rolle didn't let his sprained ankle keep him from signing autographs. He had an obvious limp, but wasn't wearing any type of boot, which is a good sign.
- As I mentioned above, the Giants offense was practicing many different screen plays right in front of where I was standing. One wrinkle that I actually really liked was a wide receiver screen where they split David Wilson out wide as the receiver. I think any play where the Giants can get Wilson's speed and quickness out in space, can lead to very good things. I just hope Giants offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride, actually dials up some of these plays during the regular season.
- Near the end of practice there was a pretty large scrum at the end of a play. The players were far away, so I couldn't tell who started it, but Ralph Vacchianno of the New York Daily News tweeted "Heck of a little scrum at the end of practice. DE Adewale Ojomo vs. …. An OL, I think. Couldn't see from my angle."
- After listening to just how much Giants fans love Victor Cruz, I don't know how anyone ever really thought the Giants weren't going to give him a contract extension. Cruz was easily the fan favorite with multiple "Cruuzzzzzzz" chants starting, even when he was just standing around.
Overall, for the most part, the team seemed to look sharp. They weren't practicing particularly hard, probably because it was the last practice before a game, and it was pretty hot out with the sun. The big news is that it seems Donnell's injury wasn't an ACL tear, which is always a big worry with non contact knee injuries.

G & A Seating Oasis Chair (Pack of 12) [239G]
- Product Review (submitted on August 30, 2012):
- I really like these products. I had bought some similar to these chairs years ago and I wanted to replace them. I like the sturdiness of them and a straight back. I am going to order them again and these guys seem to be the cheapest!

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — In a move meant to prepare for drastic budget cuts, officials in Rhode Island have issued pink slips to the city's public school teachers.
ALSO READ: WBW Honors: Toni Morrison
Though the slips are currently just a precautionary measure, the Providence school district faces a $40 million deficit, leaving teacher's futures in jeopardy.
The budget won't be filed until April, so the exact budget cuts won't be known for months. Meanwhile, every teacher's job hangs in the balance.
Officials have issued pink slips to every single public school teacher in the city — all 1,926.
Since the law requires that teachers are informed by March 1 if they are going to be laid off, officials informed them all — just in case.

Workmen at a Devon Pub could be entitled to make a claim for asbestos compensation after they were asked to remove the dangerous substance without adequate protection.
The Three Crowns Pub in Dartmoor was being refurbished in January 2010 by Cowley's Building and Maintenance Ltd, on behalf of St Austell Breweries.
Exeter Magistrates' Court was told how the building work took place without a suitable asbestos survey report which should have been provided by the brewery.
When the builders began the renovation they uncovered an internal wall that contained asbestos insulation boards inside. Christopher Reed, a director for Cowley's Building and Maintenance Ltd was in charge of the site, and although he arranged for a sample board to be tested, he also instructed the workers to pick up debris left by the asbestos insulation boards.
During the clean-up operation and demolition of the wall there was also further disturbance and exposure of asbestos fibres.
Multiple Failures Led To 'Significant Risks' Of Exposure To Asbestos
The Health and Safety Executive fined St Austell Breweries £5,000; Cowley's Building and Maintenance Ltd £12,500 and Christopher Reed £2,500. All three parties pleaded guilty to breaching asbestos regulations and were also required to pay costs. Commenting after the hearing HSE inspector Barry Trudgian said:
"Multiple failures on site led to significant risks of exposure to asbestos dust to the four workmen.
"Asbestos dust can cause fatal lung diseases and the dangers are well known in the industry. On average, 20 tradesmen die every week from asbestos related diseases. All those involved in refurbishment or demolitions must be fully aware of their responsibilities for workers' safety when carrying out their work."
Speak To A Solicitor About Asbestos Compensation
Exposure to asbestos is the biggest single cause of deaths in workplaces in the UK. Although the substance has now been banned from being used in building materials, because the symptoms of asbestos exposure can take years and sometimes decades to develop cases of asbestos exposure are still emerging.
If you have sustained illness as a result of asbestos exposure during the course of your employment you may be entitled to claim asbestos compensation. Speak to a member of our team to find out if you could be entitled to asbestos compensation on freephone 0800 0193 515.

Mom Posts Pic of Her Baby with Bong on Facebook
A 19-year-old mother from Keystone Heights, Florida, posted a photo of her baby with a BONG on Facebook. Um, was she high?!
"If u look at the picture u can see that there is no bowl in the TABACCO (sic) pipe. And i took a pic to show one (expletive) person and it was a mistake. I would never ever ever let him get high," she told Channel 4 via Facebook.
In another Facebook posting, she wrote, "Do you realize how serious this is? i can go to jail and he can be taken away from me. WHY would you do something so (expletive) stupid? i know what i did was stupid but i would NEVER put by baby in harm. im (sic) so nice to everyone idk (I don't know) why you would do this to me."
The Florida Department of Children and Families is investigating, and is now drug-testing both the mother and the baby.
Who thinks this mom should have her baby taken away? Harmless photo ... or serious endangerment?
so she says she took the picture to "show one person". Show one person what exactly? Is it a regular occurance and he puts his mouth on it every time? Is it "cute" to pose your baby with drug paraphernalia? Because it is obvious that child services finds nothing cute about it.
I think she needs to be taught a lesson. It is clear her child was around drugs or people who use drugs often enough to own a bong, and she needs to know that is not ok.
I don't think the baby should be taking from her. But does make you wonder why she has it in her house in the first place. The drug testing is a good idea but going over board with drug testing the baby. I think this girl did not think before she did this and did not know she would get into trouble. Lesson learned.
Well…she's right. There's obviously no bowl and the glass is just colored that way. Tacky? Yes. Endangerment? No. Someone else pointed out that he's obviously seen it used. While that's probably true, watching someone smoke from a bong is not necessarily endangerment by any stretch. It's possible for one person in a room to get high while another is sober and watching the baby, and it's also possible for tobacco to be smoked from a bong. Like I said, tacky, but she doesn't deserve to have the baby taken.
Serious endangerment , I seriously hope this young mom gets help before its too late and gets that baby and any other children she may have get taken away . This is no joking matter.
I think this is ridiculous almost just as bad as the 2 year old smoking which cause a You Tube frenzy, and everyone said that child should be removed so why not this one? Babies are sponges and he has obviously seen others use this to know what he is doing (or not doing)!
I'm glad DCFS is involved. Better to err on the side of safety. Poor parenting? Yes. Child abuse? Perhaps. The results of the drug testing shall tell.
This is sad, but she put herself in this predictament. That poor baby doesn't know the difference what is right or wrong. I say, take the baby now, before it comes up missing, then finding it dead. That is exactly why I have custody of my grand-daughter. I am just sad, I didn't go to court earlier.
"19 year old mom" says it all. Let me guess— she is not married to the father, no regular father figure. This kid's life is screwed if he is smoking up as a baby or not.
It just totally makes me sick to see pictures like this, parents taking pictures of their precious babies with horrible items like bongs, seen here or cigarettes in their mouths etc….and we wonder why the world is in the shape its in now….pictures speak louder than words….
Just another stupid broad having a baby.
What a shame broads like her are waisting there young years tied down with a yelling, chitten, crapping, germ infested brat.
The state would be doing her a favor and take the brat so she can be free.
She needs needs to be spaded..
Okay, as a young Mother, we ALL know that she wasn't using that to smoke "TOBACCO".
What she was trying to prove or show by taking this picture is beyond me.
I don't know what should happen. I'm sure she's going to test positive for marijuana, and I pray that little baby does NOT. She needs maybe treatment, parenting classes, etc. If that innocent baby tests positive for drugs, he needs to be taken away.
Thanks for sharing this, I hadn't heard about it!
There needs to be a "flag" button; if I'm just missing something see Tony's response above… Wow.
Give the baby to someone who cant have children and can raise this child in a stable environment. Make her go to jail, and counseling and whatever else that will make her stupid self use her brain the next time. Clearly child endagering….parents teach their children the way they should go in life…Clearly if there is a "bong" around this baby it is ok? NOT….you should never have to feel remorse (im sorry i will never hurt my baby again type of remorse) ever. She isn't even thinking of her baby. 19 or 39 doesnt matter.
No I do not think that she should have her baby taken away from her…Not only does that have a serious effect on the mother, but on the child as well…Clearly in the photo the boy isn't near any drugs of any sort…Just because the general public call that device a "Bong", the term the Adult store refer to it as a recreational tobacco pipe. tobacco, not drugs. And also in the photo, you can see that there isn't even a bowl in the device…And 1 more thing, that photo was supposed to be shown to one specific person, which means that that one person has just violated that mothers privacy, and confidentiality. Is that not a crime somehow…Clearly she loves her baby boy, and would never wish him any harm. Most people these days need to just give us mothers the benefit of a doubt, give us a chance before taking our children away…There are far more severe situations that would clearly show that something legal needs to be done for the sake of the children when rarely that happens, but the good parent do not deserve that same punishment. I believe that if she and her baby get tested for drugs, and the baby, not her, but the baby boy comes back with clean results, then the mother should be able to keep her som.
I don't think that child services needs to be involved at all! Just another governmental agency that will make alot of money from this non-event. People have taken pictures and done silly things with their children for years and they are not harmful things. It doesn't make her a bad mom or them bad people. In this overly sensitive, polically correct crazed country people take things way too seriously! To anonymous, "Really? a child putting his face to an open container about to pick it up looks like he knows how to use it???" Puhlease, it is a container and babies mouth everything and will lift it up like any cup or bottle. Gosh this makes me mad. The media and PEOPLE trying to stick their noses in where it doesn't belong.
I am 74 and went thru this drug thing with my kids and grandkids — ok here this it is child abuse she is teaching her child that it is ok to smoke dope why is it called DOPE cos you gotta be a DOPE to get started on it and the Resin is still inside and the aroma is present the CHILD is experiencing these "tastes" you must be out of you mind woman and to put it on Facebook what are you thinking of YOU MUST BE HIGH or STUPID
That baby should be taken away from the 19 year old girl immediatley!!! what kind of mother would even have something like that in her home with a baby? she must know that this is very unsettling to see as well as heartbreaking!! she must use the thing because she seems to know alot about it!!There are so many women in this world that would give anything for a baby and girls like this have them and abuse them. its very sad!!!
There is ALOT more going on in this house then everyone knows, how friggin stupid is she, babies are Blessings, and I'm sure this is not the first time this baby grabbed ahold of the mothers bong, glad to hear both will be drug tested, if positive remove the child to someone who REALLY LOVES this child. Looking at this makes me soooo mad. I am glad this photo appeared it may have saved this childs life.
I would definitely hope she's investigated, but if there is nothing more wrong I say people make mistakes. Babies put EVERYTHING in their mouths and she's certainly learned to keep it out of his reach. I know kids that are beaten severely and not taken away and as long as this actually isn't being used for drugs, it's not illegal for hr to have it. This baby may be well taken care of. This is only a few paragraphs out of her whole life. Don't judge, she may be a great mom.
ok, she should be going to jail for one thing, drug paraphanalia and children!! Then when she gets out, her child(ren) should not be given back to her until she has gone through rehabilitation and she should be supervised by DCFS. After that she should be subject to surprise visits from them with a zero tolerance policy. This is not acceptible!! STUPID STUPID STUPID
