One of our favorite family Christmas traditions is to visit a local church's Return to Bethlehem. It's a beautiful way to experience the anticipation that the Jewish people must have had for the Messiah. As you fill out your census and walk through the village, you get to experience a part of what life must have been like. We enjoyed watching them weave rugs, carve wooden bowls, make perfumes, sell vegetables, tan hides, grind wheat, make pots, and much more.
And all the while, the roman soldiers are moving people along and the Hebrew people are asking if you heard that the Christ child is supposed to be born tonight.
Meanwhile, you keep making your way through the village and begin to notice a bright star in the sky.
And you think of all of the lives that have been changed.
The prophecy fulfilled.
The promise.
The hope.
The very best Christmas gift ever.
And you're reminded of what Christmas is REALLY all about.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Replace the O-Rings
While you have the spout off, Sorrell suggests you replace the O-rings on the body of the faucet, which prevent leaks at the base of the faucet. You can buy O-ring kits where you buy cartridges. Use a small screwdriver to ease off the old rings. Install new ones with lubricant supplied with the replacement kit.

Beirut's Zach Condon Distills Himself
By Mel Minter
Trumpeter/ukulelist/singer Zach Condon, native Santa Fean and frontman for Beirut, has garnered a world of attention for music that draws heavily on his serial "flirtations," as he calls them, with various genres. French chanson, Balkan brass, Mexican church bands, electronica—each has provided the inspiration and stylistic setting for a Beirut album.
The constants in those recordings, though, are Condon's love affair with melody and his ear for the right sound in the right place. For the latest Beirut release, The Rip Tide, Condon focused on those elements, hoping to distill his own sound from the multigenre cocktail. He's succeeded in creating his most personal and arguably his most beautiful and mature work to date.

Le Chat Lunatique goes to Colombia
By Mel Minter
The mountains are to the east, and there's a tram to the top of them. Spanish is spoken, tamales are eaten, potholes are plentiful. Albuquerque's Le Chat Lunatique felt right at home in Bogotá. The gypsy jazz band made its first, but likely not its last, visit to Colombia in early September to take part in the 23rd Festival Internacional de Jazz del Teatro Libre.

My congratulation Lukas.! This shot is a wonder the composition perfect the exposition too..! Well done.! Greatings from Italy Skyhunter and if you want take a look at MY BEST WORK
I've really enjoyed your gallery - encourages me to look at new techniques and angles. This shot is interesting in another way - it seems this view inspires people to take a shot throughthe castle wall. here is one I came across by Zabb Csaba, and my effort. The wintry feel in yours is particularly evocative.
Thank you all for your comments and for going out there and trying similar shots for yourselves. Great motivation for me. Cheers.

Nicholas Stern: 'I Got It Wrong On Climate Change–It's Far, Far Worse,' An 'Existential' Threat For Many
Another day, another climate expert explains the deadly combination of inaction and faster-than-expected impacts.
This time the man ringing the bell is Lord Nicholas Stern, the author of the famous Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change. The UK Guardian reports:
Stern … said: "Looking back, I underestimated the risks. The planet and the atmosphere seem to be absorbing less carbon than we expected, and emissions are rising pretty strongly. Some of the effects are coming through more quickly than we thought then."
The Stern review, published in 2006, pointed to a 75% chance that global temperatures would rise by between two and three degrees above the long-term average; he now believes we are "on track for something like four ". Had he known the way the situation would evolve, he says, "I think I would have been a bit more blunt. I would have been much more strong about the risks of a four- or five-degree rise."
That would be 4° to 5°C aka 7° to 9°F aka the end of civilization as we know it (see World Bank Climate Report: 'A 4°C [7°F] World Can, And Must, Be Avoided' To Avert 'Devastating' Impacts). Stern continues:
"This is potentially so dangerous that we have to act strongly. Do we want to play Russian roulette with two bullets or one? These risks for many people are existential."
Stern was not alone in raising concerns at the World Economic Forum:
Stern's comments came as Jim Yong Kim, the new president of the World Bank, also at Davos, gave a grave warning about the risk of conflicts over natural resources should the forecast of a four-degree global increase above the historical average prove accurate.
"There will be water and food fights everywhere," Kim said as he pledged to make tackling climate change a priority of his five-year term.
The time to act was a long time ago but now is infinitely, existentially better than later.

Sterns warning represents another in the parade of warnings about the climate disaster we are walking into. But is anything really being done? We are told by most politicians in this country that economic growth is paramount. Growth based on a 20th century paradigm of infinite growth and consumption.
This will obvious lead to disaster. Most still do not seem concerned with the physics, or the data of our predicament. The mania for more energy- from fossil fuels seems unabated. We are headed for a worse case scenario- if lucky we will be able to stop at 2-3 degrees- if not then 4 degrees seems now the likely outcome.
Joe, I read about this on Truthdig and that article mentioned that the European carbon trading scheme has basically collapsed because the carbon price has gotten too low. Would you be willing to do a post on this with your thoughts? I'd like to hear what went wrong and how it could be avoided if the US created such a carbon price and trading scheme. Thanks.
To ask if you had a leaking pipe wouldn't it be best to apply to a plumber before it entirely burst. Kind regards Caroline
Recently reviewed EU Carbon exchange is viewing applying bi-lateral arrangements with Aust. 2018 – Perhaps investigations on Australia's participation would shed some light – to consider attendance aligned perhaps more within trade sensitivities which then raises partnerships based viewing Free Trade Agreements AUSFTA and AANZFTA. Kind regards Caroline
I say, let the d*mn world burn. We humans, haven't been good stewards of the earth, anyways. BTW, 60° for Lex. Ky. on Wen.! Fri.–snow. YAY!
Given the rates of rainfall we have seen in Qld and NSW, I am thinking that the additional percentage water vapour held in the atmosphere must be up from 4%. Latest estimates? ME
Well, for me it's another day of climate change inaction. I have to set up my tax prep job for money to pay the rent.
About 10 years ago, I began to notice that most climate change reports and scientific papers use less than realistic emission scenarios in their calculations. Since these emissions are long lived, this has led to a deepening concern about the climate situation and its impacts, in my lifetime, and in your lifetime.
This important talk by Dr. Anderson, link below, at the 2012 Cabot Lecture clearly points the finger at scientists for not accurately reporting how bad the climate situation is. He also explains why we cannot meet the 2 degree C (3.8 F) target set by the world's government and its impacts on us today. His talk is timely in light of the recent report from the World Bank that found:
"Even with the current mitigation pledges fully implemented, there is roughly a 20% likelihood of exceeding 4°C by 2100. If they are not met, warming of 4°C could occur as early as the 2060s."
Globally, we are nowhere close to meeting our mitigation pledges and long lived CO2 emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere at an accelerating rate. It's like civilization has collectively said: Screw it. Dr. Anderson is very animated and I think you will find it enlightening.
5% is the latest I heard, though I can't remember exactly where I heard or read that. I think at a Bill McKibben lecture I attended.
The extra 1% is a lot but, as I'm sure you know, there's more to its effect on local weather patterns than just the global atmospheric water vapor content. Its where and when that "what goes up" eventually "comes down" that matters the most.
Lets all remember, Western Civilization has been using the scientific method for hundreds of years. And 99.999% of the conclusions pronounced by "infallible" science have been wrong.
Thank you, ME
There is a question as to how long the IMF etc can prop up the ephemeral infrastructure of the global economy. If that crashes, many things including emissions will crash with it, ME
So what are you saying? Everything is peaches and cream and we have nothing to worry about? The evidence says otherwise, though the way our civilization is proceeding with business as usual would suggest we don't care what the evidence indicates.
Australia is in the midst of weather disasters, from record temperatures, raging mega-fires, to record floods ('once in a hundred year' floods occurring every couple of years in parts of Queensland since 2000)and 'unprecedented' weather patterns. Yet, even as the evidence kicks us, forcefully, in the sensitive parts of our anatomy, the head remains rock solid and obdurate. Climate change has not been mentioned, not even to be refuted as it was in the 2011 flood disaster (when everything was blamed on La Nina, and the MSM, led by the Murdoch infestation, went to great lengths to actively deny any climate change influence). Now it's just ignored, while every day new plans for expanded coal-mining, or gushing predictions of 200 billion barrels of shale oil get the greed-heads' 'animal spirits'(apologies to animals) sparking. At least in Australia, greed is still good, and life is an 'externality' soon to be liquidated on a massive scale.
I'm annoyed. According to the song, 'God sent Noah the rainbow sign, no more water etc' yet here we are, and the treacherous old ego-projection in the sky is sending both fire and water. Any Free fans out there?
I've been convinced for about that long that the predictions were being deliberately underplayed, but, naturally, being an internal optimist, I hoped that I was wrong, and the scientists were correct. Well I don't believe that any more, and I'm getting very impatient waiting for the scientific community to get suitably agitated.
I think your figure is misleading, and the use of the word 'wrong' absolutely inappropriate. Science, apart from frauds like climate change denial pseudo-science, or the Piltdown Man, makes the best available approximations to the truth, and then works on better ones, trying to falsify the old theories. Science today will be falsified in the future (if we have one) by better theories, but to call current knowledge 'wrong' is wrong. It is merely 'incomplete', and always will be, to the end of time.
Indeed Mulga the Guardian reports:
Australia's climate commission says global warming is likely to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. But asked whether people on Australia's east coast should expect this, the New South Wales premier dismissed the question.
"If the question is about climate change go and ask me another day," Barry O'Farrell said.
"Let's not turn this near-disaster, this episode that has damaged so many properties and other things, into some politically correct debate about climate change. Give me a break."
Refusal to even contemplate the possibility of error, ideological dismissal of evidence, sociopathic disregard for suffering – full house.
In the UK Stern came under recent attack from the politicized oil lobby in the form of Peter Lilley MP – a fool who thinks that economics can trump nature. It's good to hear Stern come out and reinforce his points with updated estimates of rising temperatures and their true meaning for life on Earth.
After sitting through Dr Holdren's speech in London showing the impacts of 1C for the US, discussion about 2, 3 or 4C is utterly stupid. Strip idiots like Lawson and Lilley of their state paid for privileges (scrounging little tripes that they are!) and create an informed council of action charged with implementing the evaluations and solutions required to sort this mess out and move into a new paradigm!
1: Your Pollyanna-ish claim is absurd – it's source, if it has any at all, is most likely to be a bus-ticket. It's like that ridiculously long-lived myth that we 'use only 10% of our brains'.
2: This is not even an argument. Uncertainty cuts 2 ways; things could be – indeed, as time goes on it seems increasingly likely that they are – dramatically worse.
3: Yep, science is pretty-well always wrong, claims some random guy on the internet, perhaps using his iPhone, uplinked via satellite, maybe while jetting back and forth at 24 000 ft watching CGI blockbusters. If you don't get the point I'm making, that's because the almost ludicrous successes of science have made it so all-pervasive that it's now like the air we breathe, pretty-well invisible to us.
Enabling some people to make some pretty dumb comments about it.
Floods in Indonesia and Mozambique too – the latter sounds especially serious:
MM–That's incredible. I thought that with your modest carbon tax that the Aussies were on board with climate change. Now it's an unmentionable? It would be really interesting to read a poll about what people are thinking but not saying. They know that climate change is supposed to lead to more heat waves, droughts and floods, right?
Stern could have predicted 10 C in the 2006 report; as we used to say, that and five cents would have gotten him a cup of coffee at H&H. Experts today are predicting 5-6 C by the end of the century, without including positive feedbacks, and nothing is being done. How long does the inaction time series have to be before we accept all the points have been, are, and will continue to be zero?
So, now we get more accurate assessments and predictions by Anderson et al, and what difference does that make? Still, nothing is being done. How many more data points do we need in the inaction time series to accept that nothing has been done, nothing is being done, and nothing will be done in addressing climate change?
"internal optimist"
I assume you meant 'eternal'.
We are treating climate change social data very differently from what we would do in any other branch of science. We have a stream of climate change action data going back at least thirty years, and every year we see 'goose eggs'. There is zero evidence that trend will change in any way; the BP energy outlook for 2030 projects a 30% increase in fossil fuel usage over 2010, and this is based on what is on the books and corporate/government plans. Yet, what is our response on these blogs; why, we project all sorts of scenarios that will keep us below 2 C, and talk about the urgency of initiating them. At what point do we accept that the vast majority have no intentions of making the personal sacrifices required to stay within even a dangerous target like 2 C, and the only sacrifices they are willing to make are the extended lives of their children?
we must face the truth, that people in high office have been saying "we must act now" for years.
what that really means is, " not immediately", because that is not very convenient, we need to do a few things before we actually make a start.–er–next year sometime?? maybe?
I too have a PhD in prevarication and next year I expect to get the Nobel prize for lethargy
None of us will find it very convenient when the lights go out and the supermarket shelves get stripped, but hey–it was good while it lasted
The Scottish Government has today unveiled plans to decarbonise its energy sector by 2030 and boost the offshore wind energy supply chain, as it also prepares to update its climate change strategy.
First Minister Alex Salmond confirmed this morning that Scotland would aim to cut emissions from the electricity sector from 347 grams of CO2 per kWh in 2010, to 50g CO2/kWh by 2030, as recommended by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC).
I wish this were true, but I'm afraid the only way emissions will come down is when the world population takes a drastic drop. Until then people will burn and use every available source of energy they can get their hands on.
Greece is a good example, right now, where the citizenry can no longer afford heating oil and are burning every available stick of wood they can find. Including their furniture and an ancient olive tree that legend has it Plato once leaned upon.
Hi Bill. Don't be confused or misled by the Murdock media. They are the same ones that run Faux Noose in the U.S.
They are NOT the public. They are the 0.01% and they WANT you in denial. So at least for today,denial is a river in Queensland.
Cheers, and be well!
ME, the original statement was that there is 4% additional water vapour in the atmosphere for every degree F above normal. We're well above that 1 F increase now. But it let's you predict increased storm intensity quite well.
The nation sees 50+F degree swings in temps from one day to another, and still, "news" articles still attempt to deny, deny, deny. This one from Cleveland is a classic. Climate change isn't happening, because, uh, the reporter knows a guy who can do some math. Deplorable.

Re: O'Farrell,
Explaining to him the connection between Australia's climate chaos and climate change is like trying to get a serial killer to value the sanctity of life.
I have a long history of complaining that consensus science is way too timid — as in, wrong, kind of dumb and not worth giving tenure to this clown — for the actual data. We have a long geologic history of massive upward temperature response to small driving changes. We see evidence of positive reinforcement mechanisms. All of this is ignored. In what other field would this behavior be acceptable?
Unfortunately, Paul, in too many others. I spend most of my computer time researching the biomedical literature. Much of the prevailing wisdom is consensus driven, by design. The status quo is profitable for many people, and they want it to remain that way. The journals, the citation process, the review panels, the awarding of grants, all are aimed in the same direction: preserve and enhance the status quo. I see many parallels between medical 'science' and climate change. The 'patients' in medical science don't want to give up their junk foods, their toxic exposures, their hours on cell phones; they all want that little 'magic pill' that will allow them to continue business as usual, and not suffer the consequences. No difference from the energy consumer.
There are many people in this world who care little about living out their years; these include chain smokers, excess alcohol drinkers, excess uncontrolled substance takers, excess cell phone users, excess junk food eaters, etc. Why would they worry about what happens to civilization? Unfortunately, their vote counts equally with those of us who are concerned.
Despair is the new denial. For a generation, the fossil fuel corporations said that global warming was not a problem, so there was no need to end fossil fuel use. Now that line of propganda has become untenable. So the new, improved line of propaganda is that global warming is hopeless, so there is no point in ending fossil fuel use.
Give up. Resistance is futile. Accept the absence of a future. ExxonMobil's continued profits depend on it.
Well, in the U.S. it is illegal to live in nature as nature would have it. We have been very busy "improving" on what nature would offer us. Building, designing, cleaning up, even renaturalizing areas damaged by weather extremes. But natural would include the effects of the hurricane, the new natural.
Now that it is more difficult to enjoy nature and rebuilding is necessary how does that change our basic desires for comfort and convience? And I'm sure that code enforcement has made it even more illegal to live with what nature may afford. Just saying, enjoy.
Nothing effective will be done before the warnings of devastating consequences due to AGW become observations… and by then it may be too late. We would of course need geo-engineering on a massive scale, and in my view the most important action by far is to actively remove our excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. That would have an enormous cost in terms of materials and energy – where is the energy going to come from, to run civilisation and geo-engineer the planet? Obviously it can't come from fossil fuels.
Any ideas?
The status quo is always privileged. It's built into the human amygdala. People will take the devil they know. Aside from all the vested interest issues, it is THE problem.
God will not end the world by flood again. He has something way more excruciating up his wide white sleeve, which He's giving us a little peek at.
I, for one, am relieved. Thanks, Clays! I don't know why I haven't looked at it that way. 99.999% is pretty irrefutable. Now I can go on with life.
Except that experiment they did at Alamogordo–that did seem to play out the way they said. Also acid rain. And DDT. And the ozone hole. But I guess that just goes to show how many absurd claims they make, if these constitute the 0.001%

Yes, but they get fewer of them, so it's OK.
Yep, and there are some on this blog, inadvertently or otherwise, encouraging that profit taking, ME
They only learn it the hard way!
The deniers still think they can avoid it somehow by doctoring on the symptoms (more protection to survive) around, instead of hard reducing CO2 and sitting it afterwards out for several years, until such time the weather normalizes again.
Why it's important we have alternate enegy alternative in place…..
Saw the abc video of that, unreal. He's right though not many auzies are talking about climate disruption at the moment. You can bet they are thinking it though.
It's the deer in the headlights effect.
There is good empirical evidence from 2009 and it would take a lot of furniture to fuel some of our heavy industries, ME
Indeed. I find the talk on 4c odd. Considering the impacts we are seeing at .8c we are going to be lucky, very lucky if we are around when it gets to 1.5C.
There's that reticence again. It really is difficult for people even those in the know to accept dire situation.
People have an inbuilt optimism which I guess helps to be successful in many situation, but not in this one with global warming.
There is 'despair', 'wishful thinking', and a recognition of 'reality'. I prefer the latter!
You've hit the nail on the head. If you add the fossil fuel necessary to 'run' the present civilization, do geo-engineering, and convert to renewables, that's probably more than enough to drive us over the brink, if we're not over the brink already. I don't believe there is a voluntary solution to the problem. The electorate at large seems more than willing to sacrifice the future of their progeny to whatever remains of the gluttony of the present. Our only hope is involuntary takeover by those who control the physical levers of power, and the imposition of extremely harsh measures to reduce fossil fuel emissions. We will find the inaction of the past thirty years on climate change will translate into the premature loss of at least tens of millions of lives. Lethargy has its price!
Sterns missing a couple more fars in his statement….

'Fatty O'Barrell was a hard Right zealot in the previous 'Liberal' state regime in New South Wales in the late 80s and early 90s. Then, when he was running for Premier a couple of years back, he was suddenly transmogrified into a 'moderate'. Amazing to relate, and I know you'll all be as astonished as I, once elected, he mysteriously reverted to being hard, hard Right, and destroying renewable energy and all environmental progress made over the last thirty years has been one of his absolute priorities. I just cannot believe that the 'Free Press', in particular the sainted Murdoch apparatus, could get it so wrong.
The average Australian is so dumb that, 'They wouldn't know a tram was up 'ém, till they rang the bell' as we used to say. But then we got rid of trams, preferring sitting in solitary grandeur in our cars, in our ever-expanding traffic jams.
Sour cherries, ME-my favourites. Or Morellos – Esperanto for 'little morons'.
Despair is the new black, and the real denial, in my opinion, is pretending that times are not pitch black. Only through confronting the Gorgon head on…OK, bad analogy…only by confronting the dragon head-on will we come through, thoroughly singed, there's no doubt about it, but, hopefully, still around.
The European carbon trading scheme collapsed because the financial kleptos who run all 'free markets' decided that was the most profitable route to take. Leaving things to 'the market', where the only rule is profit maximisation and crude self-interest is king, is a recipe for disaster, and, once again, we have the evidence to hand, which will now simply be denied away by the market fanatics.
Externally I'm quite pessimistic, saturnine, even. But, on the inside, all is sweetness and light.
Which is why dirtier, cheaper fuels like coal, will still be used in economically advancing countries where their population is looking to become just like us here in the US. Regardless of the consequences to its people, as we are witnessing right now in China.
The 2009 blip in emissions here in the US is a footnote to total global output and its still rising.
Paul K said: "I have a long history of complaining that consensus science is way too timid"
Then you may be interested in this piece:
"Climate Scientists Erring on the Side of Least Drama"
Exactly right!
And that is why nearly all climate scientists are almost certainly about to be proven wrong by events as they unfold:
it will be discovered by us all that things will unfold much more rapidly, much more extremely, and much more fatally than nearly anyone had estimated.
The United States has power, Conservatives. Countries half around the world cant even legalize marijuana without persmission from the US govt. We can start building those 144,000 windmills, we can skip one stupid war, we can let these big cities build a transit system without being sabotaged by rural idiots who have an ideology against transit, our kids dont have any problem eating less meat. We can lead the world.
Doesn't really matter whether its 2-3 degrees or 9-10 degrees. Who can stop the earth's core overheating because that is where the heat is held. We cannot cool that. So the planet will take action to protect itself regardless of human endeavours. When the earth dies in time it will spring back into life, as will humankind, as a new civilization. Climate change is an evolutionary step for the planet.
Would really love to know where the big shots plan to ride this out. You know they must have a plan that has been worked on for decades.
Step 1: Get the helicopter port set up on our Hideaway spot. Step 2: get the planet down to a managable 1 million worker bees.
Step 3: Get on with the show.

Mary, Here is your first success story. 5K to Marathon. I also had a lot of people tell me I was crazy and I would never finish. I did finish it and I am running my third marathon this fall.

Even though your advice is sound and well intended, I have noticed after being on these forums a couple of years that anybody who comes on here and asks some variation of the following: "I just started running and I want to run a marathon in 4 months/6 months/whatever. Can I do it?" invariably has already made up their mind. Many experienced runners will give a reality check and advice like yours only to be ignored in favor of the rah-rah folks - "You can do anything! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't!"
I've taken the attitude that time will tell no matter what anyone has to say about it. Either it can be done or it can't. And nearly every single time, without fail, you never hear back from these folks. I have yet to hear a successful marathon race report from one of these over enthusiastic newbie runners. So....we'll see. I wish the OP good luck in her endeavor and I hope that if she does indeed do the marathon she WILL come back and tell us about it!
rah-rah ain't gettin' it done at mile 22
training and a reasonable plan may get it done
I don't see what the big deal is. 5 months is perfect timing for finishing a marathon.

No offense - but this coming from a coach is a bit concerning. 20 weeks is an adequete time to prepare - that does not mean you should do it. If that's the case we should just all go out and do an ironman!
I'm brand new to running as well - only just finished week 4 of C25K & I would be very hesitant to try a full on marathon in January & here's why. The cardiovascular system starts making adaptions to cope with running in 3-6 weeks. The muscles take longer - 6 to 12 weeks. What takes longest & what may be most crucial in terms of preventing lasting injuries is the skeleton, tendons & ligaments. They can take 9 months to a year to adapt well to running; especially a lot of distance & many days running in a week. And that's just one 'cycle' of improvement!
I've got a 5K planned for the end of October, an 8K for January 2nd & am prepping for a half marathon towards the end of April. I'm not committing to the half until I'm able to handle 5 days of running a week without excess fatigue or undue strain. I'm not carrying any excess weight - in fact I'm looking to gain 10-15 pounds but even so, I figure better safe than sorry. I want to run long term & a major setback right now would be really discouraging.
Now it may be possible to prep for a walk/run marathon distance in this short period of time but you're only giving yourself 5 months. That's a huge committment in time & effort both with the training, the rest you have to try & fit in & careful attention to nutrition. I wish you luck. You're braver than I am.
Excitement is slogging through a spectacular dry lightning storm

AND..... we have a winner!
Usually doesn't take long for the "cheerleaders" to join these threads. "You've never run a step before and you want to run a marathon in 20 weeks? Go for it!"
I agree, though, it usually isn't a person with so-called credentials who would give such advice. Yeah, Moriates, 20 weeks is a perfect amount of time to train for a marathon IF you already have a running base and some experience. We're talking Couch to Marathon here. But okay, whatever. I'm sure this is just what the OP wanted to hear!
lol... Mary we are so on the same page today!
I actually did just that last year. Five months before my targeted marathon (Detroit Free Press Marathon), I decided to become a runner. I was already a long-distance walker, having completed several 60 mile walks with the Breast Cancer 3-Day since 2005. Still, people thought I was crazy, especially when I was "crowding" 50! But since starting running in May 2009, I have completed two full marathons....not in record time by any means (5:45), but I finished! Focus on just finishing no matter if you are the last runner to cross the finish line. Run your own race. You do have to listen to your body, but if you are in good shape it is doable. I took a marathon workshop at the local running store (thanks HANSONS!), and read a lot of articles on running. I found Active.com very helpful!
I guess I've always believed that these Active message boards are for advice and yes "Cheerleading" at times. For me it's always nice to get some encouragement sometimes. Looking back on my first marathon I know that I wish I would have worked my way up to it more slowly and allowed myself to enjoy running more. That being said, there are many respected coaches that have beginner training plans that are 20- 26 weeks and bring the newbee runner up to the distance slowly. It's super hard, I know I did it but it actually is done on regular basis. Like I said in my previous post, even though looking back I'd do it different I don't think I would have done it if I hadn't just jumped in and committed. Training for and actually doing that first marathon was one of the most amazing and wonderful experiences, difficult as heck but still amazing and wonderful. I felt very proud having pushed through and accomplishing such a difficult endeavor. During the process I tried to educate myself on health, running and the best way to actually do it, I've since run 3 more and I'm still learning and love running. It can be done and if the person is determined to do it this way then I say, go for it, be safe, educate yourself as much as possible and enjoy the accomplishment! Crush it is a relative term, so what ever "Crush" it means to you, go for it!!

Wow! I had no idea I'd start a firestorm! I really do appreciate your concern for me and for my health. And I'll do my best to "crush" it in my own way--fairly slowly!
You just have to remember there are some people on these boards that consider themselves experts--they're not. It's quite an ego boost for someone to post their two cents on the "Newbie Cafe" message boards I guess... Anyhew...Use the negative feedback to motivate you. I'm not sure about you RunCookie but when someone tells me I can't do something it motivates me to actually do it!
Train smart!

Are you kidding? RC asked for advice and you are going to question the motives of those who posted? And because the opinions of some were to say -- do it safely -- and that is considered "negative". You have a funny definition of negative.
I think to poke fun at those being supportive is quite negative and also somewhat arrogant. So, to answer your question, clearly I was not kidding.
5 months is a pretty short timeframe for going from couch to marathon. Can you do it? Sure, assuming you're in reasonably good health and don't get injured during the training. Can you be successful? It depends on your definition of success. If it's just finishing, I would think yes. Disney has a 7 hour time limit, and you can finish 26.2 miles at a brisk walk in 7 hours. If you want to "enjoy" the race as well, more preparation time would be to your advantage. Though Disney is good in that regard, because there are many "characters" and other distractions as you run through the parks. But there are also long sections with little more to do than run, hope it stays cool, talk to other runners, wait for the next Sharpie sign and count the cracks in the pavement.
Usually two kinds of people show up here asking your question. One thinks he wants to become a runner and is going to do it by jumping in whole-hog and "training" for a marathon. Lacking any idea of what he's getting into, he often finds the training much more difficult and time-consuming than expected. He's not enjoying it and the marathon itself is simply painful. And his chances for overall success as a runner are greatly diminished. The other just wants to cross "finish a marathon" off his "bucket list". This one usually has the same issues with the training and the race but doesn't worry because he's never going to do it again. And that's OK, though disappointing to many of the rest of us.
Your biggest issue will be to avoid injury. You're doing in 5 months what most new runners do over the course of a couple years. Your body – muscles, tendons, joints, lungs – will have a lot of adaptations to make in a relatively short period of time. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! We say that all the time but in your case it is particularly important.
Good luck.
There are no experts in anything as far as I'm concerned - only the more educated either by knowledge or experience. I think it's easily confused those who are geniuely trying to help, and those who simply are trolls. As far as I can tell, everyone here has been trying to help. What it comes down to is sometimes people don't want to hear the answer. That's fine - this is a board of opinions not facts.
I will point out one thing about your comment that might bring the point to home - very end you said "train smart". How does someone who has never trained before know how to train smart?

I believe that God changes lives and that is what motivates me, both personally and professionally. I also believe that a church community is one of the best contexts within which we can experience life change, especially when the Spirit of God and the strategies of leadership work together! Jennifer, Emily, Ashley and I have been a part of Westwood since 2006 and we have experienced many changes. Throughout the good and bad, our core leadership belief has remained unchanged that Westwood is to be united under divine ownership, not just human leadership (1 Corinthians 1). I hope that you check out our church family, and I look forward to meeting you!
Joel, his wife Joanna and their three children Chloe, Caleb and Chase have been a part of the Westwood Team since January 2013. He has served in churches for as long as he can remember and says "I've seen God move people from an ordinary existence to life with meaning and purpose and I want to continue to follow that model." Joel studied at Canada Christian College in Toronto for three years toward his Bach. of Sacred Music and continues to develop his leadership through trial and error. Joel says "I enjoy being a part of something supernatural when given the opportunity to lead people into worship." This is something that was developed in him growing up in well lead church Worship Arts ministries over the years he has served.
I love this church! My wife Lisa and I have been part of Westwood since 1995 and it has been incredible to see how God has worked in and changed peoples lives. I started out in the youth ministry at Westwood and since then have moved around in various positions until I moved to this one a few years ago. I have been married to Lisa since 1992 and we have three kids, Sydney, Quin and Connor. I believe that God is about changing lives and my own life change speaks to that. I love people getting together in community, having fun, learning about God, and helping each other follow him. What is great, is we have a church that does that and wants to see God work and makes room for him to work.
I am very excited to be a part of Westwood Church. I am passionate about the youth engaging in the life of the church and growing in their faith. My wife Amanda, and my boys Keenan and Ansen are enjoying being a part of the Westwood Church family and are excited to be a part of God changing lives as we live in Christian community with one another.
God transforms lives! I know this because he rescued me! This is why I've chosen to follow and serve God in my personal life and ministry. I am passionate about coming alongside others and living life together with joys, struggles, laughter, and tears. It's all meant to be shared in the context of community with a loving, redeeming, almighty God. Jason and I have been married since 1998 and we have two energetic boys, Graydon and Ben, who keep us very busy and bring us much joy and many opportunities to seek and follow God's guidance. We started attending Westwood in 1999 and I joined the staff family in 2005. I am privileged to be able live out my passion with a team of awesome staff, volunteers, and church family! See you Sunday!
I love being a part of a wonderful church family. My wife, Sandra, and our family joined Westwood Church almost 20 years ago. We immediately loved the feeling of being part of a church family that puts bringing Jesus into the lives of so many people in so many ways as the mission of Westwood. We have 4 children, and 3 grandchildren, and on Sept. 2, 2015 celebrated 37 years of marriage. I have been in the role of church administrator since November 1st, 2015, and have enjoyed being part of a wonderful team of pastors and support staff. I have seen so many ways that God is at work at Westwood, in our community and through our missionaries around the world. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for us each year!
My husband, Doug, and I have attended Westwood Church since 2008 when we moved to Prince George from Fort St. John, B.C. I started to volunteer with Children's Ministries in 2009, working with the greeting team in K-5 and with Cindy Deschamps in Sunday School Lesson preparation. Eventually I started volunteering with Holly on a weekly basis. When the position for Administrative Assistant to both the Children's Ministry and Youth Ministry came open, Doug encouraged me to apply. I started on staff August 2012 and am filled with gratitude every day for this opportunity I have been given. Working with this group of wonderful disciples who delight in searching out God's plan for us as a staff and a church has been a blessing beyond measure. I can't wait to see what he has in store for me next.
Our family moved to Prince George in 2011 and we have been attending Westwood since that time. Vern and I have two children, Bella and Ben. We were initially drawn to Westwood due to the Children's programs that our kids participate in. We joined a Life Group and we are excited about what God is doing in and through our church as we continue to pursue Him, build one another up and influence those around us for Christ. I joined the Staff in January 2014 and feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a fantastic group of people. The Westwood Church family is really our family. With no close relatives around, we have seen this church become family. We enjoy the fellowship and joy that comes from 'doing life together' with others at Westwood. We feel very fortunate to be a part of this growing community of believers.
It was my pregnancy with our first child in 1999 that moved my husband and I from "drifting" to choosing Westwood as our church home. With lots of young families and a great children's program it was and continues to be a great choice for growing our family and our faith. To get connected we joined a small group (now called LIFE groups) right away and the friendships I made still encourage me and enrich my life. Through volunteering in Children's Ministry, I discovered my creative side which eventually lead to me coming on Staff in my current role in 2007. I am so blessed to work in an environment that feeds my soul and allows me so many opportunities to connect with my church family.

Local man denies domestic assaultApril 17,2013Local man denies
domestic assault
A Mendon man charged with beating and choking a woman last week was jailed on $10,000 bail Monday after denying felony domestic assault.
Tristan L. Taylor, 29, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a charge of aggravated domestic assault in the second degree. He remained behind bars Tuesday in the Rutland jail.
Rutland City Police arrested him Friday night after they were called to an apartment on Grant Street by a woman who said Taylor assaulted her during an argument. The woman told police Taylor kicked her, grabbed her by the hair and threw her onto a bed where he allegedly choked her.
The woman told police she tried to fight back by biting and kicking and flailing her arms.
Taylor was not at the home when police arrived, but he was found shortly after at the corner of Elm Street and Grant Avenue. He told police he had just been attacked by a group of people who pulled up in a car and beat him up, according to court records.
If convicted, Taylor faces up to five years in jail.MORE IN This Just In

I've read the WordPress tutorial and http://www.binaryturf.com/run-multiple-sites-wordpress-30-separate-domains/ and it seems I need to use subdomains and wildcard DNS to use WordPress Network on multiple domains.
Unfortunately, my host doesn't support these. Is there some way to use domain mapping (via a plugin or htaccess) and subdirectories to use one WordPress install across multiple domains on shared hosting. e.g. could I make http://primarysite.com/ have one blog and have another blog on http://primarysite.com/seconddomain which redirects to http://seconddomain.com/?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The Girl Who Could Silence the Wind (Hardcover)
Sonia's entire village believes she has a gift, but it's only in leaving home that she finds out who she truly is. A compelling tale from a rich new voice in young adult fiction.
Sixteen-year-old Sonia Ocampo was born on the night of the worst storm Tres Montes had ever seen. And when the winds mercifully stopped, an unshakable belief in the girl's protective powers began. All her life, Sonia has been asked to pray for sick mothers or missing sons, as worried parents and friends press silver milagros in her hands. Sonia knows she has no special powers, but how can she disappoint those who look to her for solace? Still, her conscience is heavy, so when she gets a chance to travel to the city and work in the home of a wealthy woman, she seizes it. At first, Sonia feels freedom in being treated like all the other girls. But when news arrives that her beloved brother has disappeared while looking for work, she learns to her sorrow that she can never truly leave the past or her family behind. With deeply realized characters, a keen sense of place, a hint of magical realism, and a flush of young romance, Meg Medina tells the tale of a strongwilled, warmhearted girl who dares to face life's harsh truths as she finds her real power.
About the Author
Meg Medina, named one of CNN s Ten Visionary Women, is the author of the young adult novel Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass, which received a Pura Belpre Award in 2014. She is also the author of the novel The Girl Who Could Silence the Wind and the picture books Mango, Abuela, and Me and Tia Isa Wants a Car, for which she won an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. Meg Medina was raised in Queens, New York, where she lived in 1977, one of the worst years in the city s history. About Burn Baby Burn, she says, While telling Nora s story, I was writing about violence at the tipping point, both in a city and in a family. Young people then and now sometimes have to grow up against a backdrop of unspeakable events. Their fight for hope, respect, and happiness always amazes me. She lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her family.
Praise For…
With a hint of magical realism and a Latin influence, THE GIRL WHO COULD SILENCE THE WIND tells the story of 16-year-old Sonia Ocampo with an enchanting narrative... Sonia's satisfying story of self-discovery combines friendship, family, love and adventure. A book for those fond of alluring storytelling.
—Shelf Awareness
Medina creates a compelling narrative within a Latin American culture where parents cling to old ways and their children thread their paths between hope and despair, trying to find a viable future. Though touches of magical realism appear in the novel, the real magic here arises from the story of a girl struggling to see beyond others' perceptions and find her own way in a society that seems to offer few options.

I would like to replace $fileWithPath in $file, however this not works because (I think) path is not escaped. how to escape it?
sed -i 's/${fileWithPath}/HAHA/g' $file
Single quotes define a string literal. Putting the variable outside the literal allows the shell to expand that part.
Also: if you are going to parse paths, use a delimiter in the sed command that doesn't confuse with the directory delimiter "/".
In circumstances where the replacement string or pattern string contain slashes, you can make use of the fact that GNU sed allows an alternative delimiter for the substitute command. Common choices for the delimiter are the pipe character | or the hash # - the best choice of delimiting character will often depend on the type of file being processed. In your case you can try
The character 'g' after last # is used to change all occurrences in file if you need to change only first occurrence then remove the 'g'.

How is it possible to read/write to the Windows Registry using java?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I know this question is old, but it is the first search result on google to "java read/write to registry". Recently I found this amazing piece of code which:
This is pure, Java code.
It uses reflection to work, by actually accessing the private methods in the java.util.prefs.Preferences class. The internals of this class are complicated, but the class itself is very easy to use.
For example, the following code obtains the exact windows distribution from the registry:
Here is the original class. Just copy paste it and it should work:
I was unable to find and give credit to the original author of this code. If you find any details, please add a comment and I will add it here.
You don't actually need a 3rd party package. Windows has a reg utility for all registry operations. To get the command format, go to the DOS propmt and type:
You can invoke reg through the Runtime class:
Editing keys and adding new ones is straightforward using the command above. To read the registry, you need to get reg's output, and it's a little tricky. Here's the code:
Java Native Access (JNA) is an excellent project for working with native libraries and has support for the Windows registry in the platform library (platform.jar) through Advapi32Util and Advapi32.
Update: Here's a snippet with some examples of how easy it is to use JNA to work with the Windows registry using JNA 3.4.1,
I've done this before using jRegistryKey. It is an LGPL Java/JNI library that can do what you need. Here's an example of how I used it to enabled Registry editing through regedit and also the "Show Folder Options" option for myself in Windows via the registry.
I've incremented the Pure java code originally posted by David to allow acessing the 32-bits section of the registry from a 64-bit JVM, and vice-versa. I don't think any of the other answers address this.
Here it is:
Yes, using the java.util.Preferences API, since the Windows implementation of it uses the Registry as a backend.
In the end it depends on what you're wanting to do: storing preferences for your app is what the Preferences does just great. If you're wanting to actually change registry keys not having to do with your app, you'll need some JNI app, as described by Mark (shameless steal here):
From a quick google:
There is also the option of invoking an external app, which is responsible for reading / writing the registry.
Here's a modified version of Oleg's solution. I noticed that on my system (Windows server 2003), the output of "reg query" is not separated by tabs ('\t'), but by 4 spaces.
I also simplified the solution, as a thread is not required.
As has been noted, the Preferences API uses the registry to store preferences, but cannot be used to access the whole registry.
However, a pirate called David Croft has worked out that it's possible to use methods in Sun's implementation of the Preferences API for reading the Windows registry from Java without JNI. There are some dangers to that, but it is worth a look.
The Preferences API approach does not give you access to all the branches of the registry. In fact, it only gives you access to where the Preferences API stores its, well, preferences. It's not a generic registry handling API, like .NET's
To read/write every key I guess JNI or an external tool would be the approach to take, as Mark shows.
There are few JNDI service providers to work with windows registry.
One could observe http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/serviceproviders.html.
Thanks to original post. I have reskinned this utility class and come up over the flaws which it had earlier, thought it might help others so posting here. I have also added some extra utility methods. Now it is able to read any file in windows registry(including REG_DWORD, REG_BINARY, REG_EXPAND_SZ etc.). All the methods work like a charm. Just copy and paste it and it should work. Here is the reskinned and modified class:
Sample of using the methods is as follows:
Below method retrieves the value of the key from the given path:
This method retrieves all data for the specified path(in form of keys and values) :
This method retrieves value recursively for the key from the given path:
and this one retrieves all values recursively for a key from the given path:
And this one retrieves all subkeys of the given path:
Important Note: I have modified only reading purpose methods in this process, not the writing purpose methods like createKey, deleteKey etc. They still are same as I recieved them.
You could try WinRun4J. This is a windows java launcher and service host but it also provides a library for accessing the registry.
(btw I work on this project so let me know if you have any questions)
I prefer using java.util.prefs.Preferences class.
A simple example would be
Yet another library...
This one launches reg.exe under the covers, reading/writing to temporary files. I didn't end up using it, but it looks like a pretty comprehensive implementation. If I did use it, I might dive in and add some better management of the child processes.
My previous edit to @David's answer was rejected. Here is some useful information about it.
This "magic" works because Sun implements the
The implementation is selected at runtime using a factory method here: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/7-b147/java/util/prefs/Preferences.java#Preferences.0factory
The real question: Why doesn't OpenJDK expose this API to public?
The best way to write to the register probably is using the
Reading is done with the
Therefore the following code should be self-explanatory:
Although this is pretty old, but i guess the better utility to use on windows platform would be
A single call to process:
will do all the magic. I have tried it, while making jar as windows service using servany.exe which requires changes to made in registry for adding javaw.exe arguments and it works perfectly. You might want to read this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264584
This was crazy... I took the code from one of the posts here, failed to see there were 18 more comments in which one stated that it does not read a dword value...
In any case, I've refactored the hell of that code into something with less ifs and methods...
The Enum could be refined a bit, but as soon as I've fought my way to read a numeric value or byte array and failed, I've given up...
So here it is:
BTW, WinPack has been moved to the following address:
To write and read these data we use the
In response to David answer - I would do some enhancements:
You can execute these "REG QUERY" command using java code.
Try to execute this from command prompt and execute command from java code.
To Search details like productname version etc.. use /v amd "name".
This uses the same Java internal APIs as in in David's answer, but I've rewritten it completely. It's shorter now and nicer to use. I also added support for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and other hives. It still has some of the other limitations though (such as no DWORD support and no Unicode support) which are due to the underlying API and are sadly unavoidable with this approach. Still, if you only need basic string reading/writing and don't want to load a native DLL, it's handy.
I'm sure you can figure out how to use it.
Public domain. Have fun.
One day, Java will have a built-in foreign function interface for easy access to native APIs, and this sort of hack will be unnecessary.

My name is Roberta Volpe and I have a dream: to work as a set designer in the greatest theatres in the world.
Seven years ago I really started to believe that I could make this dream a reality. Many things happened: I won an internship in the workshops of the La Scala, Milan, I made my debut as a set designer, at the Amazonas Theatre in Manaus (Brazil) and I taught set design as part of a year-long workshop I led in Milan prison.
Still, I have not yet managed to get into the professional theatre work and in 2013 I made an important decision: I moved to London, the capital of the theatre world. I arrived without english and with little money - which was a challenge at first. After a year I got into amateur theatre and designed and built six productions. Amateur companies clearly do not pay so I applied to one of the prestigious schools of theatre here in London.
I have prepared my portfolio and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama has offered me a place on their Masters in Scenography. My enthusiasm has been dampened by the cost of fees - £16,363. It would be half but I already possess a Masters in Italy, in the highest category. For this same reason I can not ask get a student loan, also because I am resident in the UK for less than three years.
Ever since moving here I have worked as a waitress and my salary does not allow me to get such a high loan. Yet I will not give up this opportunity because I am convinced it can open up many doors and really get me started in the reality of the theatres in London.
Thank you for your time.

AFTER a brief halt I have this week completed two more models for my Frostgrave warband: the apprentice and another hireling, a 'marksman' who has the most powerful non-magical ranged attack in the game. I have two more models waiting to be painted and am currently seeking miniatures to represent 'thugs' and 'warhounds' (probably two of each). Not sure where the latter will come from, but I have determined that the former will be club-wielding Citadel 'Militia' as depicted in the 1991 Catalogue - Section 2 (see here). Of course the models I have been working on for Frostgrave over the last month can also be used for Trapdoor and B/X D&D, which actually is what I bought most of them for initially!
