The Rail, Maritime and Transport union will be under increased pressure to settle its own dispute in talks expected today, following the deal agreed by the 16,000-strong Aslef. Drivers' leaders accepted assurances from British Rail over new employment conditions for seven 'shadow franchises' to be created in the run- up to privatisation.
An executive meeting of the RMT said it would now 'test the faith' of management and agreed to negotiate with BR. In a letter to Paul Watkinson, BR's personnel director, Jimmy Knapp, the RMT general secretary, warned that further day-long stoppages would be called if management did not respond to the gesture.
The 67,000-strong RMT may abandon its policy of Friday strikes and switch to Wednesday or Thursday, which could impair public support but would lead to increased disruption. Unless there is a deal, more industrial action is likely next week.
The RMT executive took several hours to agree to suspend the strikes as left-wingers argued that the union should name the next day of action to concentrate the minds of management.
Mr Knapp told a press conference at the union's headquarters last night that the dispute could only be solved through negotiation. The union's representatives would be available for 'intensive discussions' with a view to reaching a deal. He said he was prepared to set aside the whole of this week to reach an agreement.
Mr Watkinson said the agreement with Aslef was welcome to passengers and freight customers. 'The settlement was achieved not by last Friday's strike - which was damaging and pointless - but by the two sides working out the best solution . . . in an atmosphere of mutual goodwill.'
Mr Watkinson said that both management and the train drivers' union had showed a willingness to be flexible that had not been a feature of RMT's position. Aslef accepted detailed assurances that BR would honour existing agreements and that drivers would remain BR employees until privatisation. Aslef accepts that BR has no jurisdiction thereafter.
In a letter to the RMT yesterday, Mr Watkinson said that management had shown considerable flexibility in trying to find 'words and phrases' to reassure the union.
RMT is unlikely to call a stoppage this week, but may call a strike in the middle of next week.

Finnish photographer Tero Repo is known for many things. First of all his long-running collaboration with Xavier De Le Rue and Jeremy Jones.
Secondly for his clean and powerful shots, taken from the most vertical slopes on the planet. Or at least that's how it appears.
He has this rare ability to shoot a stunning big mountain action, to magnify a freestyle trick and deliver a strong portrait of a hockey player.
A man of many talents, Tero edited and captioned his ten best snowboarding and skiing pictures for us… just before flying to Spitzberg, a frozen island where he's currently working with Xavier De Le Rue and Samuel Anthamatten.

A school voucher program is on President Trump's's agenda — but it's not being called that. There are reasons for this deception, and it's important for progressives to understand Trump's scheme before the public debate starts.
President Trump's desire to turn ICE into a deportation force strikes fear in the hearts of many immigrant families. The good news is we can fight back and win if we stand together. Here's how.
At town hall meetings across the country, citizens are holding lawmakers' feet to the fire about the Trump administration's divisive actions. Their response? Duck and cover.
The Trump administration, as have all Republican administrations, is promoting tax cuts for the rich, saying they will "create growth." Tax cuts actually force cuts in the things our government does to make our lives better.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has a reputation for policy wonkishness, which he doesn't deserve. He also has a reputation for raising boatloads of cash, which he does deserve. Care to guess which one's driving his healthcare priorities?
Until we get the full truth about Russia — from reputable, public, and trustworthy sources — let's fight Trump with the weapons we already have at hand: the weapons of accountability and justice.
Big-money speculators are buying up farms, charging tenants to farm it and boxing young, real farmers out of the market. Of course, the Wall Street plowboys don't soil their own soft hands by actually farming.
From online harassment to digital strikebreaking, tech is different in the age of Trump — or, more precisely, the public policy concerns raised by powerful tech companies are heightened by the administration's actions.
Republicans don't just intend to do away with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Their health care plans would throw coverage for the 74 million Americans who rely on Medicaid and CHIP (the Children's Health Insurance Program) into chaos.
Tax cuts mean cuts to infrastructure, schools, health care, scientific research and all the things our government does to make our lives better — and to help our economy prosper.
Rep. Keith Ellison offers a lifeline to the Democratic Party that is floundering. The question is whether the Democratic National Committee's 447 members will accept it when they choose their new chair on Saturday.
Right-wingers are celebrating a depressing new history of those rare moments when wealth became better distributed as activists are exploring encouraging pathways to a New Economy that sustains our planet and fosters equality.
This is nothing more than a basket of gleeful, surgical giveaways to big-dollar Republican donors. We need to expose, at every opportunity, that we're watching. We need to make it clear that we will remember this in 2018 and 2020.
It's not just Trump. The Republican Party is using him to engage in a general assault on protections from corruption, pollution, corporate fraud and financial scams. This is who they are.
When you are at an event or meeting with your member of Congress, protect yourself against misinformation spouted by right-wingers who feel compelled to pretend they care about making sure that Americans get the health care we need.
It's no accident that Puzder bowed out just two days after National Security Adviser Gen. Mike T. Flynn's resignation. The Trump administration's confidence is shaken. GOP unanimity is broken.
Trump is in the White House in large part because of the establishment's failures over the past decades. Progressives need to advance a concrete agenda, and that means taking on Democrats-in-Name-Only.
Mick Mulvaney became the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on the very day that people with $1 million yearly salaries stop paying into the Social Security trust fund.
Waiting on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's desk is Trump's order instructing him to launch a review aimed at dismantling much of the financial regulation passed after Wall Street's wilding blew up the economy.
As her misspellings and gaffes make amusing headlines, Betsy DeVos's stumbles right out of the gate are disturbing omens of what may be in store for the nation's schools.
Gov. Chris Christie's signing of a foreclosure relief bill that he had vetoed a version of last year was the culmination of work done by the People's Action affiliate New Jersey Organizing Project.
As Senator Chuck Schumer puts it: "You could not have picked a worse nominee to uphold these goals than Andew Puzder. Everything in his career is antithetical to the goals of the Department of Labor."
If Michael T. Flynn informed Trump about his multiple conversations with the Russian ambassador about rolling back Obama's sanctions to punish Russia for interfering in the U.S. presidential election, it's an impeachable offense. For Trump.
Corporations that offshore jobs to make a few extra bucks follow a "Greed First" policy. Their CEOs should shut up and listen to the American job creators on the Jobs Initiative.
The #ResistTrumpTuesdays movement is urging lawmakers to "Make a Date" to hold town hall meetings with their constituents during an upcoming congressional recess that will run February 18-26.
Repealing Obamacare will put an average of $33,000 of tax cuts in the hands of the richest 1 percent this year alone, and a whopping $197,000 of tax cuts into the hands of the top 0.1 percent. This is lunacy. We must stand up to it.
People's Action is collecting signatures on a petition, to be delivered to Disney's headquarters on Tuesday, designed to persuade Iger to follow the lead of Uber's CEO and leave the economic advisory council.
How can Americans resist Wall Street's influence with Trump in the White House, Mnuchin at Treasury and Republicans holding both houses of Congress? Some principles already seem clear.
Fortune 500 CEOs make twice as much in a month as U.S. workers make in a decade. But any move to require corporations to document that disparity, a new Trump appointee likes to argue, would be shameful.
Ian Milhiser, the Think Progress justice editor, explored Trump's Supreme Court nominee in an interview that explored his background, ideology and judicial philosophy.
Let's protect the Affordable Care Act by doing what Democrats should have done all along: by making the case for a better health care system, and then fighting for it. That means making the case for government itself.
Over the past two weeks, lawmakers and advocates from 18 states jointly announced that they have, or will, introduce more than 85 abortion rights policies. Here's why and how.
Public speaking, you see, makes me sweat. And possibly vomit. Glossophobia, they call it. But in the process of trying to get myself out of this sweat-inducing, stomach-churning public-speaking gig, it hit me: This isn't about me.
Betsy DeVos won her contest in the Senate to become the new U.S. Secretary of Education but likely killed a long-standing political consensus on education. Its death gives progressives a chance to push for something better.
Senate Republicans silenced Elizabeth Warren when she was reading aloud a critical letter from three decades ago about Jeff Sessions during a debate over his confirmation as attorney general. She persisted.
The showdown over the North Dakota Access Pipeline is is now a test of the federal courts. Will that institution follow the order of the acting secretary, and the president of the United States?
If Price is confirmed by all Republican senators, or all but one GOP senator voted for confirmation, it will be clear that the Republican Party wants to destroy Medicare.
For Donald Trump, this has got to hurt: Less than two weeks after his inauguration, the people who took to the streets to protest his policies have outstripped him in popularity.
A trade deficit can be a good thing if it's temporary and if the deficit is used for things that help our economy, like productive investment at home. But our trade deficit isn't doing anything productive.
American manufacturing workers need tough action against corporations that renounce their birthplace for profit and against flagrant, job-stealing trade violators like China.

All parent member reviews for The Electric Company (1970s)
Parents say
(out of 3 reviews)
age 4+
Review this title!
Phonics and fun, along with some groovy graphics, make for a great show!
My mom sent this DVD set to my son. I am guessing it was not shown for years because the clothes and references are a bit dated. I love it for a few reasons. 1. The characters are fantastic and fun. 2. The songs are catchy and memorable. 3. I like the use of phonics. 4. The animated sequences (including primitive computer animation) is enjoyable and often beautifully rendered. 5. Great graphics! What seemed dated seems fresh again about a generation later. 6. Fun for adults, too, with references to classic film, television and literature. 7. The Silent E song - wonderful in and of itself.

has just the right balance of education and entertainment
I actually had a hard time deciding where to put the green light- at age 5 or age 4. The educational content certainly will go over the heads of some 4 year-olds, but not ALL. I first discovered this show at around that age, and I learned to read right at that time from watching the show. I've read similar stories from others who started watching at age 4 as well. Even when we get older, we can occasionally all benefit from some of the show's lessons, like the ones on punctuation, as it's sometimes easy to forget when we should just use a period as opposed to an exclamation point. This show is entertaining as well. If you watch the show now as an adult, you'll get some of the references to movies, tv and literature that you missed when you were a kid. Spiderman was a popular part of the program. Because he doesn't have a mouth on THE ELECTRIC COMPANY, what he says is put on the screen in a balloon, forcing kids to read his mind. The stories are entertaining too, often with a moral. Letterman was also popular. It was always exciting to see the Spellbinder change a letter or letters in a word, and then wait for Letterman to arrive and triumph over the Spellbinder, the best part in those stories. It's a shame that the company that distributed the 2 DVDs has no interest in making more. So now Children's Television Workshop will just have to look hard for a new distributor. Still, the 2 DVD sets that are out right now are worth your money, as the show will bring back memories. If you have children or if you're a teacher, all the better, as the kids will learn something. And if this show was before your time, but you get introduced to it by someone who used to watch, you'll thank that person.

I used to love this show when I was a kid.
I used to eat up this show when I was a kid. I love the educational information it had. Very good for kids to see. I actually learned grammar from this. Also, the sketches were really cool to watch.

A five-year-old boy was abducted from in Sheron village of Sunam sub-division on Friday. The boy identified as Harvinder Singh was a Class-1 student at the Government Primary School was kidnapped by two motorcyclists when he came out of the school premises during break.
According to the police, Harvinder's friend told his parents that two boys with their faces covered came on their bike and took Harvinder with them on the pretext that his father was asking to come home.
Talking to HT, Cheema police station in charge Baljit Singh said that the boy's father Gurpay Singh had filed a complaint.
The boy's family suspected the involvement of Lucky Singh of Chajjali village as the boy's mother belongs to village. She is the only daughter of her father who owns acres of land there.
About the arrest of Lucky, the SHO said, "the police was investigating Luckhy's role, but still there is no clue about the boy as the kidnappers have not made any ransom call yet." However, after the repeated attempts Sunam DSP could not be contacted for his comment.

With the election of the first lesbian bishop in the United Methodist Church, a few people have asked me, "What are you going to do?" My answer has always been the same: "I am going to continue doing what God has called me to do."
It's really as simple as that. I am not a political person (though I find politics fascinating). I do not feel like rehashing the same arguments I've read for years to "prove" that "my side" is right. As a church, we have publicly debated the issue of homosexuality for 44 years and heels have been dug in, minds made up. Nothing I say or do will change that.
I certainly am sad to see this grand old denomination hurtling toward an impasse. This is the church that started as a revival spark by the Wesleys, and fanned into flame by lay preachers and intrepid circuit riders. This is the church that welcomed women as spiritual leaders, battled social ills such as slavery and child labor, and preached the Gospel of repentance and salvation in Christ.
On a personal note, this is the church I grew up in. My parents were charter members of a Methodist church in Oklahoma that nurtured me through elementary school and pre-adolescence. One of my earliest memories was sitting on the lap of a white-haired woman named Mrs. Carmichael, who sang nursery rhymes to me while my folks attended worship. I fondly remember confirmation classes, Christmas Eve candlelight services and, of course, potlucks. As the old saying goes, "wherever two or three Methodists are gathered, a chicken will die." This is also the church that welcomed me after years of wandering in the far country as a prodigal son. I was married in a United Methodist Church and my kids were baptized and raised in the same.
But I will not be embroiled in arguments, political maneuverings or cyber shouting matches. Whether the United Methodist Church splits or dies, God is still in control and the Body of Christ will still stand. The Kingdom is bigger than a sect, no matter how large it gets. A Christian must not be penned in by an ecclesiastical label, political camp or personality cult. We must be defined by our passion for Jesus Christ and His mission. For me, that means I must resist the desire to jump into middle of a controversy that has generated more heat than light, and focus instead on getting out of my comfort zone to associate with the least, the lost, the last (Luke 19:10).
I am not trying to smugly put myself about the fray. I certainly have my opinions but, in the end, my opinion will not change the trajectory of this matter. I feel I have something more pressing to do: that is, every day I must keep my own finish line in sight: "…let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:1-2).
I refuse to wring my hands, point a finger or cluck my tongue. My feet have work to do. I must run a race that has been laid out for me, and no other. You have your own race, too. Run it to win it. Run it for an audience of One.
Here in Texas, we love our barbecue. We'll get into arguments with folks from the Deep South about the glories of brisket over pulled pig with vinegar sauce. It's fightin' words around here if you tell us that slow-smoked beef isn't true barbecue. According to this website, "the Lone Star State has the sixth highest percentage of barbecue restaurants (in the U.S.), and it's home to some of the most iconic barbecue joints in the whole country. Styles vary across the state, but beef is king and brisket is the holy grail of Texas barbecue."
Leviticus 6 describes a barbecue of sorts. It was called the burnt offering, a twice-daily sacrifice made by the Hebrew priests, consisting of a pair of year-old lambs without any imperfections. Three times in this chapter, God instructs the priests to keep the fire burning. Day in and day out, rain or shine, the altar fire was to be stoked with a sacrificial lamb on the grate. It was a visual reminder that the fire of God's people should never go out.
Much ink has been spilled on the waning fires of mainline denominations, including the United Methodist Church, which ordained me. When I was a kid attending Village Methodist Church in Oklahoma City in the 1960s, our denomination was in its heyday with over 12 million members representing 6% of America's population. Most recent stats put us just under 8 million members in the USA, representing only 2.5% of our total population (by contrast, United Methodism is exploding in Africa and the Philippines). Folks smarter than me have analyzed the problem up and down, from bishops to laity. I won't solve the problem in one blog. But I thought it would be helpful to go back to the source of Methodism, and consult the one who sparked these fires in England during the 18th century, a fire that leapt across the Atlantic to the colonies and spread across the Western frontier in the 1800s.
I'm talking, of course, about John Wesley. Wesley was an Anglican priest who never intended to start a new sect. But when his church reforms and practices swept like wildfire across the land, he had no choice but to endorse "Methodism" as an alternative to the Church of England.
In 1742, Wesley published an 8-page tract entitled "The Character of a Methodist" that eventually went through 19 reprints. (You could say it went viral). Wesley began by explaining that Methodism was not defined by personal opinions. You could get a hundred Methodists in one room and ask them their views on one topic, and you are likely to get a hundred different opinions — as our recent General Conference proved that with its protracted arguments over parliamentary rules and the "hot potato" issue of human sexuality. There is only one thing we unanimously agree on, and that is "whenever two or more are gathered, there must be potluck."
"What then is the mark?" Wesley writes. "Who is a Methodist, according to your own account? I answer: Methodists are people who have the love of God in their hearts…God is the joy of Methodists' hearts; the desire of their souls."
Several years ago, my denomination came out with a $47 million ad campaign called "Igniting Ministry." One General Conference delegate who voted for the campaign gushed, "Igniting Ministry could be the catalyst by which we could reverse the decline that we continue to experience."
I have no problems with church ads, as long as we don't except them to do evangelism for us. Spending tons of money won't start a fire. Flames won't be fanned with another church convocation. Programs don't have what it takes to spark a spiritual inferno. The fire must come from within.
This fire is the love of God-with-us, not a cold, intellectual acknowledgment of a vague Supreme Being. Years ago at one of my churches, a woman dragged in her husband for marital counseling. At one point, I asked him about his relationship with God. He looked at me quizzically and said, "Relationship with God? I don't even know what that means. I'm not sure there's even a personal divine force behind creation. What we call 'God' is probably some glorified physics formula."
The Bible doesn't say that a physics formula so loved the word — it was God who gave us His one and only Son. In their 2010 book, Jesus Manifesto, Authors Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola wrote, "What is Christianity? It is Christ! Nothing more. Nothing less. It is not an ideology or a philosophy, a new type of morality, social ethic, or worldview. Christianity is the 'good news' that beauty, truth, and goodness are found in a Person."
John Wesley would agree. He said that Methodists believe that Christ is the eternal, supreme God, through whose shed blood we have forgiveness of sins and adoption as children of the Father. This is Good News in a Person! Jesus is the match that sets our fire ablaze.
What does this love look like? Our spouses know we love them when we give them a thoughtful anniversary gift. Our kids know we love them when we tuck them in at night and read a bedtime story. How do we show God that we love Him? We know He loves us, how do we return that love? Wesley gives us instruction.
First, Wesley describes Methodists as people of gratitude. When we daily thank God for all the good gifts He gives us, we toss a log on the spiritual fire. "Whether in ease or pain, sickness or health, life or death," Wesley wrote, "the Methodist gives thanks from the ground of the heart to Him who orders all for the good." Besides contributing to spiritual fitness, research is proving that gratitude is good for physical fitness, too. Thankful people have stronger immune systems and overall better health than ungrateful people.
Secondly, Wesley says that Methodists are people of prayer. Recall that on the day of Pentecost, when the disciples were praying in an upper room (Acts 2:1-4), the Holy Spirit fell in "tongues of fire." Wesley took great pains to explain that prayer isn't beating God's ears with many words or kneeling in contemplation for hours on end. Prayer is the language of the heart before God. It wraps up praise, thanksgiving, confession and requests, sometimes in fervent words, other times in awed silence. Prayer is essential if we are to keep the spiritual fires burning.
Thirdly, Wesley described Methodists as people of purity. Have you noticed that impure living is like cold water on burning coals? Sin douses the fire of God. Wesley wrote that "God has cleansed the Methodist's heart, washing away all urge for revenge, all envy, all wrath, every lust and evil desire, as well." Of course, this can't be done Lone Ranger style, all by ourselves. Wesley was smart. He helped Methodists stay on fire for God by organizing the class meeting. This was the 18th century version of a small group, where a dozen Methodists met weekly under the supervision of a class leader. The group sang, prayed and watched over one another in love. There was accountability and encouragement to stay close to the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, Wesley said that Methodists show their love of God by doing good—not only to friend and neighbor, but to foe and stranger. The Rule of Wesley states, "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can." The early Methodists ministered to people in prison; opposed slavery; founded schools; promoted temperance and the rights of women, workers and children; published Christian literature; and opened orphanages and medical clinics. But these weren't just good works; they were "God-works" to cast light on the goodness of Christ. Wesley proclaimed that "Methodists labor to awaken those who have never known God and help them to realize that the atoning blood of Jesus has power to cleanse away their sins."
"The fire must be kept burning."
Was this an ancient command from God for the Jews only? An old, quaint regulation that has no relevance for us today? No. God's earnest desire for believers — from Methodists to Moravians; Pentecostals to Presbyterians; high-church liberals to charismatic conservatives–is to keep the Christ-Fire stoked. But unlike the old days with a butchered lamb on the grill, we are now the burnt offering as Paul wrote in Romans 12:1: "Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God."
Put yourself on the altar. Catch on fire for God. Watch people come to see you burn!

Last week, I zipped down the street to attend a United Methodist district clergy meeting. Now normally I would look forward to such a gathering with the enthusiasm of licking a dust mop. No offense to any of my pastoral colleagues, many of whom I've developed wonderful friendships over the years, but I have noted numerous times in print that I loathe church meetings. I wish I could have the time that I have spent in such unproductive sessions back. I could take a nice, long overseas vacation with my wife. That is, if I had the money as well as the time.
But I was actually looking forward to this meeting. For one thing, it was held at a church that was only a couple of miles from my house. I knew the proceedings wouldn't be long, because a laity meeting followed ours. Our bishop, Mike Lowry, was on hand to address the troops and I always enjoy listening to him. He gave us a "pep talk" and held a Q & A session.
During his talk, Bishop Lowry instructed the clergy to sermonize frequently on the dangers of our age:
Bishop Lowry urged us to deliver distinctly Christian messages solidly rooted in orthodox, trinitarian theology. After the meeting, as I returned home, I thought how refreshing it was that we have a bishop who delivers such strong and clear messages.
And then it hit me:
Why would a church leader have to tell a bunch of clergy to preach Christian sermons?

Let me ask you a provocative question: do Christians have a love-hate relationship with the miracle stories in the Gospels? Think about it. On one hand, we thrill to the tales of Jesus strolling over stormy waves, morphing a measly sack lunch into a banquet for the multitudes and the ultimate miracle—His Resurrection from the dead, complete with flashing angels, rolling stones and fainting guards. As a kid, I would pore over the full-color pictures of these stories in our family Bible, and they never failed to fill me with awe and wonder.
On the other hand, we find ourselves stammering and stuttering when skeptics scoff at these stories. "Whoever heard of anyone walking on water? Have you ever seen anybody coming out of the grave?" We may even harbor secret doubts ourselves. I would venture to say that we don't see miracles like the disciples did. We weren't there with Jesus and we certainly can't verify them because there were no videocams back then.
And then there's the miracle of changing water into wine. It happened at a wedding reception, a noisy affair that could stretch out for days. The party was held at the groom's house, and he and his new bride were treated like royalty. They did no work for a week, received gifts and wore festive clothes. Food was everywhere, wine poured, music played as the wedding guests–dressed in special garments provided by the groom–danced the night away. There was a master of the feast—a party coordinator, if you will—whose sole job was to keep the food and wine stocked so everyone could keep having a good time.
And this is where Jesus was, according to John's Gospel. A raucous wedding party with feasting and drinking and dancing. We might think, "What was our Lord doing there? Shouldn't Jesus have been in Sunday school, teaching a Bible lesson in solemn tones with a halo hovering over his head?"
Such questions were apparently fired at Him during His own day. The Pharisees accused John the Baptist of being demon-possessed because he wasn't sociable. He stayed out in the desert, dressed like a caveman and refused wine. Jesus, on the other hand, was a social butterfly. In His own words, "The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look at him, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'" (Luke 7:34 NET Bible)
So here's our Lord at a party, turning water into really good wine, and we are left defending (a) a bona fide miracle (b) Jesus making alcohol and (c) the meaning of it all. After all, this was not a miracle to eliminate human suffering or meet a deep need like hunger or thirst; this seems more like a parlor trick.
John called all of Jesus' miracles "signs." He reports that the water-into-wine miracle was the first sign; six more were to follow. The Bible word for "sign" comes from a verb meaning "to signify" or "make known." A sign on a highway does this. When I'm coming back from a 3-day revival, and I see a sign that says "FORT WORTH 20 MILES," I get excited. Not because of the sign, but because of what lies beyond the sign. I know that soon I'll be home with my family, eating from my own plate, watching my own TV, sleeping in my own bed. A sign is a mark or token that points to a greater reality.
So what does the water-into-wine miracle point to? I've seen many interpretations: some commentators say that it points to Jesus' generosity. He turns ordinary water into wine: not a jug of Mad Dog 20/20, but a Chateau Lafite Rothschild '96, a very good year. Others see divine empathy in this story. Running out of wine at a Jewish wedding was a faux pas that would send tongues wagging for weeks. Jesus helped the bridegroom and his family save face by performing this miracle.
Others get metaphorical, pointing to the transformation of H2O into wine as a symbol of God's ability to turn something bad into something good. This is the track I want to explore for the next few minutes.
There were six stone jars, each holding 20-30 gallons of water. This water was not drinking water, but water used for ceremonial washing. Guests would come into a house and dip their hands into the water. It was a religious ritual, like Catholics making the sign of the cross or United Methodists kissing the Book of Discipline. Jesus orders the servants to fill the jars to the brim. After that, He tells them to draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet. By the time they get to him, the water has turned into wine.
In order to grasp the spiritual meaning of this story, we have to understand the significance of wine in Bible culture. It was a valuable commodity back then. A man who owned lush vineyards was considered to be wealthy, blessed by God. Along with grain and oil and honey, wine was part of the agricultural tithe, brought into storehouses for the support of the priests and their attendants, the Levites. The book of Ecclesiastes, which some believe was penned by King Solomon, says, "Drink your wine with a happy heart" (Ecc. 9:7b). Now I am not making the point that you should take up drinking as a hobby. God's Word does not endorse booze as the meaning of life and sternly rebukes overconsumption and drunkenness. Let's remember signage: for the ancient Jew, wine was a symbol of joy, gladness, abundance, prosperity and blessing.
When Jesus turned the ceremonial water into quality wine, He was giving an object lesson. He was pointing out that there was something far better than rote religion. The Old Testament system of sacrifices and washings and tithes was good because God instituted it, but the Law could not save. It could only point to its impotence to save.
The water in the stone jars represented the Old Covenant. The wine represented the New Covenant. Recall that Jesus used a cup of wine at the Last Supper. "And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins'" (Matthew 26:27-28 NET). Jesus willingly shed His blood to provide spiritual cleansing that no physical washing could ever match. The water was filled to the brim of those jars, but now it was wine, leaving no room for anything else. When God poured Himself into Jesus Christ, He was telling us that we do not have to add anything else to the salvation mix. Jesus is enough! Jesus is all-sufficient! Jesus replaced the water of traditions and formalities with something far superior—the wine of Himself.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy," Jesus said (John 10:10a NET). True words, because Jesus was Truth; He cannot speak a lie. The world and the flesh and the devil are on a tireless rampage to snatch your joy, rob your peace and take away your assurance. But here is the Good News: "I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly" (John 10:10b NET). The word that Jesus used for life does not mean biological life, but spiritual life—eternal life in God. The word He used for abundantly means to "exceed a fixed limit." Christ yearns for us to have His life so it doesn't just come to the brim of our jars, but spills over. We do not seek what the world seeks as it pursues earthly goodies that will eventually rust and break and perish. We long for Jesus.
So go to the jar this morning. Go in faith and witness a miracle. Believe that it happened—and, more importantly, believe why it happened. And then drink heartily of the spiritual life that Jesus has provided through the shedding of His blood and His victory over death—and be glad!

Argentina sets 2019 fiscal deficit target of 2.2 pct of GDP
BUENOS AIRES, Feb 22 Argentina has set a goal of a fiscal deficit equal to 2.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2019, Treasury Minister Nicolas Dujovne said on Wednesday.
* Dollar index holds near two-month peak
* Solid U.S. jobs data on Friday keeps alive December tapering view
* Diverging Fed/ECB policy path expected to keep EUR/USD under pressure
By Ian Chua and Masayuki Kitano
SYDNEY/SINGAPORE, Nov 11 The dollar held near a two-month high against a basket of major currencies on Monday, having staged a broad rally after upbeat U.S. jobs data bolstered the case for the Federal Reserve to scale back stimulus as early as next month.
The dollar index eased 0.1 percent to 81.262 but stayed within sight of a two-month high of 81.482 set on Friday after a closely watched report showed employers added 204,000 new jobs to their payrolls last month, soundly beating forecasts for 125,000 jobs.
The data was even more remarkable as it came in a month when a budget standoff in Washington forced a 16-day government shutdown, suggesting the economic recovery was on a firmer footing than expected.
"The market has kind of re-priced the tapering expectations with the data opening the possibility that tapering could take place much sooner than the March consensus. So it's shifting back to the December or January kind of time frame," said Sim Moh Siong, FX strategist for Bank of Singapore.
"I think the dollar generally will stay supported," he added.
Despite that, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and two other top policymakers said there is still plenty of room for the jobless rate to fall further, suggesting continued support for the central bank's massive stimulus programme.
"Our baseline case remains that the Fed would start tapering in March 2014, but the solid NFP number keeps December tapering on the table and the next November employment report will be critical for the Fed's decision," analysts at Barclays Capital wrote in a note to clients.
Investors reacted to the jobs numbers by driving the benchmark 10-year yield up as far as 2.763 percent, the highest since Sept. 20.
That in turn provided support for the dollar, which held steady versus the yen at 99.04 yen after having jumped around 1 percent versus the Japanese currency on Friday.
The euro wallowed at $1.3357, down 0.1 percent on the day and not that far from a two-month trough of $1.3295 plumbed last Thursday after the European Central Bank surprised the market by cutting its main rate to a record low 0.25 percent.
ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeure said on Saturday the bank can trim interest rates further and provide the banking system with liquidity.
"We continue to expect diverging monetary policy outlook to drive EUR/USD lower in the medium term," Barclays Capital analysts added.
Not helping the common currency, S&P late in Asia on Friday downgraded France's credit rating by a notch to AA from AA-plus, giving a thumbs-down to President Francois Hollande's efforts to put the euro zone's second largest economy back on track.
The Australian dollar held steady at $0.9386, struggling to gain traction after having slid to a one-month low around $0.9352 on Friday.
The fall is sure to please the Reserve Bank of Australia, which has repeatedly said the currency is too high compared with fundamentals.
The Aussie dollar failed to make the most of fresh evidence providing further signs of stabilisation in the Chinese economy.
Data on Saturday showed China's factory output and investment grew in October, while annual inflation quickened to its fastest in eight months though not as high as expected.

Teenager Tom Prydie has been tipped as a possible "superstar" as he prepares to make Welsh international rugby history. Prydie, at 18 years and 25 days, will become the 1,074th Wales Test player and youngest of all time when he lines up against Six Nations opponents Italy in Cardiff on Saturday.
His shock selection, after just two appearances for the Ospreys, also sees him eclipse the England centre Mathew Tait as the youngest Six Nations participant. But Prydie's fellow Wales wing Shane Williams has no doubt a rare talent has been unearthed.
"He's a young lad who has got all the talent to be a great player, a superstar even," said Williams, who also features in a team showing five changes from the side beaten 27-12 by Triple Crown-chasing Ireland last weekend. "I am delighted he is having his chance on Saturday. He has trained very well with the squad and I have no doubt he will go out and have a great game. You have only got to watch him – he is so full of confidence, it's scary. I wish I was half as confident as him at that age.
"It's just a dream come true to be announced in the team," Prydie said. "I couldn't really believe it, I was shaking. All the boys came up with handshakes, patted me on the back and were really supportive."
Prydie's call-up in place of Leigh Halfpenny comes just six years after he started playing rugby. When he runs out at the Millennium Stadium he will break the Welsh age record of 18 years and 50 days set by the Cardiff wing Norman Biggs in 1888.
The Wales coach, Warren Gatland, will welcome back three fit-again Lions – scrum-half Mike Phillips, prop Gethin Jenkins and captain Ryan Jones – against Italy, and hand Cardiff flanker Sam Warburton his first Six Nations start in place of Martyn Williams. Richie Rees, Paul James and Gareth Delve also drop out of the team.
Wales team to play Italy in Cardiff on Saturday (kick-off 2.30pm): L Byrne; T Prydie, J Hook (all Ospreys), J Roberts (Cardiff Blues), S Williams (Ospreys); S Jones (Scarlets), M Phillips (Ospreys); G Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), M Rees (Scarlets), A Jones (Ospreys), B Davies (Cardiff Blues), L Charteris (Newport-Gwent Dragons), J Thomas (Ospreys), S Warburton (Cardiff Blues), R Jones (Ospreys, capt).
Replacements: H Bennett, P James, I Gough (all Ospreys), G Delve (Gloucester), D Peel (Sale Sharks), A Bishop (Ospreys), T Shanklin (Cardiff Blues).

Hi Bruce
Thanks for the indepth answer. I'll have to rethink some of my
gardening habits I guess. The mulch isn't really mulch per se... it's
really there to build up our horrible soil with organic matter in the
form of manure, etc.
I use a thinnish dressing of shredded wood bark during the summer,
perhaps an inch or so, but by fall it's mostly disappeared into the
ground. Our soil is awful - way too sandy and the water just runs right
through it, leaching out any nutrients at the same time. Plus there is
a huge greedy maple tree with roots that go on forever.
We can start a new bed by adding a third or more of organic matter, but
after a couple of years all that's left is sand again.
Well, I'll just have to get out there and make sure they haven't been
buried too deeply. Many of them went in pot and all, so it shouldn't be
too difficult to haul them out again :-)

Once the sharp points emerge from the dormant crowns, I began taking all dead leaf debris and leftover soil mulch off to eliminate any problems. Lots of work because you can also have winter heave even with big clumps that go through the multiple freezethaw ccycles.

> My wife Lois, who didn't have the early hosta growing experience of our family, would often comment on the fact that all the landscaping services here in Delaware yearly heap 2-4" of mulch on all flower beds for cosmetic and weed control - then a couple of years later come in and revamp the beds where most of the perennials have died. After a few times watching this cycle she realized that mulching is not as efficient as it may seem!!! Good for the landscaping business - not really for gardeners, however.

Transparent data encryption
Transparent data encryption (TDE) protects at rest data. TDE requires a secure local file system to be effective.
Transparent data encryption (TDE) protects at rest data. At rest data is data that has been flushed from the memtable in system memory to the SSTables on disk.
As shown in the diagram, data stored in the commit log is not encrypted. If you need commit log encryption, store the commit log on an OS-level encrypted file system using Vormetric, for example. Data can be encrypted using different algorithms, or you can choose not to encrypt data at all. SSTable data files are immutable (they are not written to again after they have been flushed to disk). SSTables are encrypted only once when they are written to disk.
The Cassandra File System (CFS) is accessed as part of the Hadoop File System (HDFS) using the configured authentication. If you encrypt the CFS keyspace's sblocks and inode tables, all CFS data gets encrypted.
Limitations and recommendations
Data is not directly protected by TDE when you access the data using the following utilities.
|Reason Utility Is Not Encrypted
|Operates directly on the sstables.
|Uses only JMX, so data is not accessed.
|Operates directly on the sstables.
|Operates directly on the sstables.
|Operates directly on the sstables.
|Operates directly on the sstables.
Compression and encryption introduce performance overhead.
TDE requires a secure local file system to be effective. The encryption certificates are stored locally; therefore, an invasion of the local file system invalidates encryption.
To get the full capabilities of TDE, download and install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE), unzip the jar files and place them under $JAVA_HOME/jdk/lib/security. JCE-based products are restricted for export to certain countries by the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
