Madrid theater showing video games
MADRID, SPAIN — A theater is drawing in crowds by using one of its screen strictly for video games.
Yelmo Cineplex, one of Spain's leading exhibitors, already has made its first step in 2007, saying Wednesday that it has converted one of its screens into the country's first interactive video game experience on a big screen.
The concept, called Cinegames, uses 7.1 surround sound with smoke and laser lights as special effects in the theater, while 50 gamepads and control consoles allow individual users to connect their 17-inch screens to the larger screen, which shows the interactive game of all the participants. A commentator in the theater gives a blow-by-blow commentary of the game.

How feasible is opera in movie theaters?
PHILADELPHIA, PA — As was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer for Wednesday, December 27, 2006, productions by the Metropolitan Opera House will be simulcast on various screens in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and elsewhere which will be in high-definition.
The AMC Neshaminy 24 — a multiplex in Bensalem, Pennsylvania (to Philadephia's immediate north in Bucks County) — will be one of the area theaters participating. And it's quite unusual, as more often than not this region of Lower Bucks County, where a nearby race track recently introduced slots gambling, is associated with suburban sprawl than anything so refined as opera.
So given that, it's hard to say just how well this experiment will go over ahead of time. Major opera productions have often been broadcast on PBS. But never before on a sizeable movie theater screens this way.

Movie Manners courtesy of Cinema Sightlines
Since movie manners have been brought up a lot lately in a number of pieces on this site, I thought it would be good to visit one of the pioneering voices on this subject, Cinema Sightlines. TJ Edwards wrote an article on it over 10 years ago which has since been imitated but never duplicated. Here is the opening:
Going out to movies has become a rare event for many of us. Is it because of high prices, lackluster theatres, bad presentation, or bad movies? Yes, all of the above … but not entirely. What most of us like least about viewing movies in public is … the public! How often have you had an expensive visit to the movies ruined by the inconsiderate behavior of others? Has your "Cinema Paradiso" become "Cinema Masochismo?"
It happens nearly every time I go the movies. After paying at least $10 to sit in a lackluster cinebox, plus another $11 for cold popcorn and warm soda, I try to enjoy a long-anticipated film. I have arrived early to find a good seat. Inevitably, just as the film begins, someone will come in with big hair, a big head, or a big mouth, who'll bypass numerous empty seats to park directly in front of me. If the theatre has stadium seating, they will sit directly behind me with their feet on the back of my seat.
To read the full article, go to Cinema Sightlines. Soon, there will be even more information on Cinema Sightlines chronicling the moviegoing experience so keep your eyes out!
Feel free to give your thoughts on any other movie manners not discussed, if you've had similar experiences, or how we should deal with offenders?

AMC aims for $750M in public offering
KANSAS CITY, MO — Following in the footsteps of Regal, AMC is testing the waters of going public.
AMC Entertainment Inc. hopes to raise $750 million in its public stock offering, with the proceeds going back to its owners, including J.P. Morgan Partners and Apollo Investment Fund.
The privately held Kansas City-based movie exhibitor, a close second in the U.S. after Regal Entertainment Group, disclosed some details of its potential public offering in a filing late Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The 392-page filing noted that the public offering hinges in part on the successful initial public offering of National CineMedia LLC, an onscreen advertising company jointly owned by AMC and two of its competitors, Cinemark USA Inc. and Regal.

Louisiana's fiber optic network to rally for Hollywood's dollars
In an effort to attract more film shoots to the state, Louisiana is leading the charge to have its new high-speed network available to filmmakers.
With Louisiana bent on luring all of the movie-making business it can, LONI could be the state's star behind the big screen.
Louisiana might make its ultrahigh-speed computer network available to production companies to promote growth in the movie industry. The move could speed the movie-making process in this state.
Digital footage, like dailies or extremely large digital animation files, could be transferred from Louisiana to Los Angeles in a matter of seconds or minutes rather than hours or overnight.

Changing sizes of movie theater auditoriums
In the December 6th issue of In Focus magazine, the "Secrets of Size" article details why movie theater auditoriums have dramatically shrunk over time, but also explains there is a renewed construction of bigger auditoriums.
An accompanying chart provides examples of existing and former movie palaces. A graphic shows the typical seating layout of a megaplex. A seating chart of Radio City Music Hall is also provided.
They weren't called "palaces" for nothing. The average American cinema auditorium used to be a lot bigger. In their 2004 book "Cinema Treasures," Ross Melnick and
Andreas Fuchs lay out a clear chronology of the birth and heyday of the largest.
Muvico Theatres' soon-to-launch Xanadu megaplex in New Jersey's Meadowlands, just four miles west of Manhattan, is expected to contain 500 more seats than Radio City Music Hall – but the Xanadu will spread its 6,500 seats over 26 auditoria.
The difference between the two facilities' utilization of the same number of seats is emblematic of how the exhibition industry has evolved generally over the last seven or eight decades. The average number of auditoria per site has been going up every year for decades, and cinema sites today average more than six screens, an all-time record.

Movie chain discriminates vs. blind, deaf, suit claims
TUCSON, AZ — With so many other amenities to focus on, even I frequently forget what's essential to others that aren't as fortunate. AMC is under fire in Arizona for almost entirely ignoring their blind and deaf patrons.
Arizona has filed suit against AMC Entertainment Inc., alleging the movie theater chain is discriminating against blind and deaf customers.
The suit, filed last week in Maricopa County Superior Court by the Attorney General's office, claims AMC is violating the Arizonans with Disabilities Act by not having enough devices and services to allow the hearing and visually impaired to enjoy its shows.

Hollywood's comeback story
LOS ANGELES, CA — The cries of the death of the movie theater have subsided a bit this year with receipts coming in significantly higher.
Ending a three-year slump, attendance at movie theaters is up this year almost 4%. Box-office revenue is up too, by 5.5%. The results stand in sharp contrast to last year, when weekly ticket sales failed to beat the previous year's results for 19 consecutive weeks, and total box-office revenue was down more than 5% from 2004. Attendance fell 8.7%.
Those results led some analysts to speculate that consumers had lost interest in moviegoing, rejecting inhospitable multiplexes and high ticket prices in favor of bigger-screen TVs and videogame consoles. The turnaround this year offers a simpler explanation: Last year's movies just weren't very good.
To read more, go to The L.A. Times.
So is the movie theater really back in the driver's seat due to this evidence? Do you really think there will be less sequels produced in the future?
At least in my opinion, I think the numbers of 2004 were not going to be surpassed no matter what. Shrek 2 and Spiderman 2 were such rare artistic/commercial successes for big budget sequels that nothing would touch them. Things are getting slightly better with art house films getting more press(Little Miss Sunshine) and indy directors getting the chance to make high-profile studio pictures(Batman Begins), but with the Pirates film doing so well this year, I don't really buy that the industry is going to change that much.
That's just me though. What do you think?

The threesome opens them up sexually, but it also brings recklessness and mistrust into their relationship. Watch XX/XY on Netflix.

These are some of the USB drives that I have modified.
Please comment or request more pictures. Not all of my USBs mods are shown here!
feel free to ask me how to make any one of them.
EDIT: I see people liked Giggle so I'll tell you how I modded it:
all I did was take off the casing, and it was already a really small USB drive:
Kingston 2gb data traveler mini fun
I was going to put some other case on it, but it was all sealed up- so I left it as it was. I recently have acquired a keyboard from a broken laptop. I will post some pictures when I finish modding it!
But yeah, it is really nice to have one that small; I take it with me everywhere I go! Now modding that could be embedding it instead of changing the case!
Oh yeah and I LOVE my Hp pavilion dv6707us!
My laptop broke so I dont love it anymore,
And wow looking back I was soo weird and immature on this lol.
Kingston stopped selling the mini fun.
If you still want a very small usb, go to:
Not as diy, but still cool.

What's Athens Like?
If you're interested in history, Athens really is the place. In the Parthenon and the Acropolis it has two of the most beautiful ancient buildings, not only in Greece, but on Earth. You can travel to these mesmerizing sights and take a tour of them, following in the footsteps of some of history's most famous figures. Alternatively, simply take in their stunning views from afar. The Byzantine Museum in Athens is home to some of the most incredible and beautiful works of art from the Byzantine era and is a must-see for any art or history buffs. If you want to relax, then look no further than the stunning and oasis-like Lake Vouliagmeni, situated just outside of Athens. It contains underground springs and is said to be great for a variety of ailments. Finally, if you get the chance, take a trip to the Panathenaic Stadium, built from granite in the 19th century - it hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896. Truly a sight to behold.

A shirt and shorts or a light summer dress are all appropriate and won't way you down as you go about your days of sightseeing and getting to know the locals.

|[DISCUSS] enhance the assemble server portlet usability
|Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:50:50 GMT
Hi, I'd like to enhance the assemble server portlet's usability. Currently it is hard to come up with a desired custom server assembly. For example, I want to create a custom server that provides similar function as tomcat. To do this, I picked the boilerplate-minimal, tomcat and tomcat-deployer to build my custom server. However, soon I found out that I am not able to deploy anything to the server, as I didn't select any plugins to enable command deployer or hot deployer or console deployer or gshell deployment. So I went back to the assemble server portlet and I saw so many plugins related to deployment, by looking at the plugins under the Deployment category- org.apache.geronimo.framework/upgrade-cli/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.framework/jsr88-cli/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.framework/jsr88-deploymentfactory/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.framework/offline-deployer/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.framework/online-deployer/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.configs/jsr88-ear-configurer/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.configs/jsr88-jar-configurer/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.configs/jsr88-rar-configurer/2.1.2/car org.apache.geronimo.configs/jsr88-war-configurer/2.1.2/car Which one do I pick? I don't want to select any extra ones... I just want to enable command line deployer for war modules. By poking around the pom.xml files, I think I only need to select org.apache.geronimo.framework/jsr88-cli/2.1.2/car in addition to boilerplate-minimal, tomcat and tomcat-deployer. To improve the usability, I suggest the following: >From the assemble server portlet, a user can choose what type of customer assembly he/she wants to build: - Functional custom assembly - Application scope custom assembly - Advanced configuration Selecting "Function custom assembly" will lead to selection of key functions of the server, and we can use the category of plugins to associate functions and plugins. Instead of displaying all the plugins, we group the plugins by their function(category) and display the function only. I think it would be nice to see some explanation of each function. For example: - Geronimo Core - plugins that provide the core service of the geronimo server... - Web Services - plugins that provides the web service stack of the geronimo server... - Deployment - plugins that enables you to deploy apps onto the server... ... If desired, users have the option to see what plugins are associated with a function, such as Geronimo Core. Also, if we want to provide detailed functions, we can update the category to be more accurate, such as Deployment: Offline Deployment, Deployment : Command Line Deployer, Deployment: Hot Deploy, etc. Selecting "Application scope custom assembly" will lead to selection of custom applications deployed to the server. We can also warn our users that the custom server may not be able to deploy anything. Selecting "Advanced configuration" will lead to the current assemble server page that allows a user to select plugins from all the plugins in local server. This assumes the user knows the plugins in local server well. For all options, we should always display the pre-selected boilerplate-minimal. Comments are welcome! If there is no objection, I'll start working on this. Lin

Neurological outcomes did not improve after mild hypothermia was added to neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for infants with severe cardiorespiratory problems, compared with neonates who received standard ECMO, researchers from the University of Leicester in England reported in Pediatrics. Data showed mean cognitive scores were similar at two years in both groups. Neonatologist Dr. Joseph Garcia-Prats of Texas Children's Hospital commented that erythropoietin shows promise as a neuroprotective drug for infants.

In most days, you can find me in DeviantArt and Twitter.
In most days, you can find me in DeviantArt and Twitter.
Btw, I have a Deviantart and Twitter account.
Just last night, the wind was so strong that I couldn't sleep. I was afraid
it will break the glass windows. It's noon already and at least the sun is showing up- I take it as a good sign.
Work is keeping me busy and has been told that I'm doing well at it. I'm now reporting to a new lead. Adjustments are inevitable but I'm excited.
I'm still thinking of becoming a Senior Associate in Human Resources. Somehow, I'm hesitant. Afraid of the unknown.
But there's no other way but for me to move up. And certainly I don't want to find myself down, stagnant and bored.
I've attended a seminar last week and it further emphasized my role in Human Resources. I can't help but also to be amazed on the things
I've overcome and is currently doing. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, ne?
In keeping the work-life-balace ^_^,
I was at the the Ford Models - Philippines competition too. I watched and supported my colleague's daughter.
If you guys think I'm tall already, wait til you see those girls in ramp!
Pinay supermodel Charo Ronquillo also graced the event.
Halloween is today! Who are you going to be?
I'll just recycle something in my closet. But haven't decided on a character.
And Xmas is near. It's 50+ days to go.
I'm reunited with Adobe Photoshop. Tho my laptop can only accommodate CS3. I've been looking for tutorial sites. If you got any suggestions, please do!
shokizuki's - July 09.
dark_profanity's - June 23.
uesugi_rin's birthday - June 04.
elementmistress's - June 02.
I wanted to have a BJD doll but then I've turned to Pullips.
I didn't see him just an idol. He's really an actor. And such a fine one!
It's good to see he got good projects coming in.
My toothache's killing me! (argh! Can't this mortal body of mine be stronger? I don't have a lot of money to pay medical bills. And X-mas is just around the corner.)
I know I'm almost going broke since I paid my tuition fee but didn't stop me to buy a manga (comic) of INITIAL D. Man! Call me a geek but I was really excited to read it even on print. It still has "what will happen?" feeling on me. Despite that I have watched it on tv.
I know I'm paying for my own tuition right now but I am glad to say I made my parents proud once again since I got good grades in grad school. UNO BABY! UNO! That's A+! I can't help but give you kumagoro beam right now. lol.
2nd sem just started today and uh, the doctors are scarier this time. Challenging na naman ang requirement nila and ibang concept na naman ang pagtuturo nila.
I want to maintain my UNO BABIES! (a nick I gave to my grades from now on. =D )
Everyday I source and screen applicants for interviews.
I get frustrated when I saw a resume, the qualifications are there yet
when I try to call the person, the mobile phone's not active anymore.
The landline's incorrect.
I think aside from the skills and experiences you have and will gain.
The first step in getting a job is how you would be contacted.
Contact Details should be active and for long term use.
For fresh grads, the moment you start giving resumes make sure your # would be long-term.
It's like a tag already.
Companies you have submitted your resumes may not contact you now but in the future they might.
If you can't choose what number to put in your resume, then just put ALL of your numbers.
If you have a landline, better.
(Check if you have typed it right.)
If you're active on-line, add your email too.
It has been mentioned that in getting a job, you're like SELLING your skills and qualifications.
And in selling, there's what we call AVAILABILITY.
Your contact details serves that purpose.
Also if you have other addresses (temporary, permanent, provincial), add those details too.
For recruiters like me, it can help to decide where the candidate can be assigned.
And being mobile in terms of location is a plus.
It shows you can be independent and flexible.
I think I've had just too much wrong #s, can't be reach, not in service and other
related messages for this week.
PS: Greetings to all the LET passers. My good bud, Ulan/Lore has passed!

Skip to comments.CHRISTIAN & MISSIONARY ALLIANCE DECLARES WAR ON CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
Posted on 12/22/2011 9:54:58 AM PST by LibertyinChrist
Subject: Christian & Missionary Alliance seize Christian firefighter/pastor's church and bank account by force then steals their Christmas
Dear Pastors, Workers and Members of New Jersey and Greater New York City Christian and Missionary Alliance and Christians throughout the United States,
Some of you may be aware that Bruce Terpstra and the Metro District may be giving Paramus Community church property to one of their Korean groups. At first this might appear to be a wonderful gift to the Korean Christians in New Jersey. But it is urgent that you know this property was paid for by the Paramus Community Church but was seized the Bruce Terpstra against their wishes and sued them in order to seize their property and bank account. Bruce Terpstra would not even let them stay long enough to have their Christmas program and give the children's presents. In other words, the property is "blood money." Did Bruce Terpstra tell you this truth? Do the members and donors of your congregations know about this? Do you really think that the Lord will bless this work of darkness, knowing that the very property you are worshiping in was taken by force from your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Remember this Scripture:
"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain." Psalm 127:1
You should be alerted to this news story:
Christian & Missionary Alliance seize Nyack Alumn/Christian firefighter/pastor's church and bank account by force then steals their Christmas. Bergen Record runs two stories on Christian & Missionary Alliance church hijacking. Washington Valley C&MA Church does not believe my report:
"This is nothing more than sheer, unadulterated slander...and you know it."
But here is the proof in the Bergen Record newspaper: http://www.northjersey.com/news/135717693_Congregation_locked_out.html
"Judge grants stay to allow Paramus congregation to hold Christmas services" December 16, 2001, Bergen Record
The judge had to grant this stay by court order, because Bruce Terpstra and the C&MA refused to grant this request. Beginning in January 2012, Maranatha Bible Chapel, Nazarene Church in Paramus invited Joe Smaha's congregation to meet in their building, as did a number of other denominations, except the C&MA, of course.
This is one of cases I featured in my Making Merchandise of Men's Soul film documentary.
It will also be featuring nationally on Southwest Radio Church's "Watchman on the Wall" radio show.
See movie trailer on our homepage below.
The C&MA is scrooge/Santa Claus from Hell... instead of bringing Christmas presents, he steals the children's presents from people's houses, then steals their whole house. The wisemen brought gifts to the Manger, these men take gifts away. At least Scrooge didn't take people's houses and bank account, he just wouldn't give them anything. I'll take Scrooge in the Christmas Carol before he repented any day, over the C&MA.
Finally, I am sure you would not want your good reputation tarnished by giving the appearance of evil by receiving the so-called "gift" from Bruce Terpstra and the C&MA.
If you truly fear the Lord, I pray that you warn all of your people and heed the counsel of the Lord! I pray that you warn all of your people and heed the counsel of the Lord! I also exhort you to publicly call on Bruce Terpstra, Metropolitan Christian and Missionary Alliance District and DEXCOM to repent and return the church property in Paramus to its rightful owners, so that God will be glorified.
Before you send one more dollar tithe or offering from your church to the Metro District, remember some of this money is used to sue your brother to seize another church, which might even be yours! I appeal to you to consider this Scripture so you won't be an unwitting accomplice yourself to Bruce Terpstra:
"He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike [are] an abomination to the LORD." Proverbs 17:15
"But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" 1 John 3:17
In case you wonder what the Bible says about seizing another man's offering (church):
Eli's sons were wicked men; they had no regard for the Lord.
If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned up first, and then take whatever you want," the servant would then answer, "No, hand it over now; if you don't, I'll take it by force."
This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord's sight, for they were treating the Lord's offering with contempt. 1 Samuel 2:12,16-17
And the requirement to surrender church property that the local church fully paid for with no outstanding mortgage would be where in this ruling by the Apostles? Here is what the Apostle Paul says:
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. I Thessalonians 2:5-6
"And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. Butbe it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps." 2 Corinthians 12:13-19
That no [man] go beyond and defraud his brother in [any] matter: because that the Lord [is] the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 1 Thessalonians 4:6
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 2 Thessalonians 3:8
So if Paul would not even take a meal without paying for it, it is inconceivable that he would take anyones church without paying for it.
How about compulsory giving and covenants that the C&MA compels you to perform? What does the Apostle Paul say about that?
"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." 2 Cor 9:7
In case you don't think that Bruce Terpstra and/or John Soper have not done the C&MA throughout the country, here are reports in suits filed at our website below.
Look for the next article by Karen Sudol, Staff Writer for the Bergen Record, in which she will let share with the readers what the C&MA, Assemblies of God and other mainline denominations are doing throughout the United States. Projected to run last week of December.
Sincerely in Christ,
James Sundquist Director Rock Salt Publishing http://www.perfectpeaceplan.com
What is the jist of this?
I'm totally with you, seems to be an Extremely long and drawn out way to say they are upset about getting sued and losing their property, I don't see anything in there explaining why they were sued though.
I didn't understand the article. Words missing and is too garbled.
Huh? What is this about?

Using an integrated systems approach to ecologically sustainable living strategies, John Michael Greer tackles energy, economics, technology and organic production practices with approachable precision in Green Wizardry. Interested in a real "Green" revolution? Let Green Wizardry show you the way AND the why! --Hank Will, editor-in-chief, GRIT magazine, and author, Plowing with Pigs and Other Creative, Low-budget Homesteading Solutions
Wanted: real wizards. Must be capable of guiding their communities through difficult times by exercising practical skills and applying down-to-earth knowledge of how things work. If you're interested in applying for the job, then read this marvelous book. Greer is the ideal guide; his wisdom and gentle humor animate every page. A magical career awaits you.
-- Richard Heinberg, author, The End of Growth
This is book is part nostalgic trip through what once could have been, and could have saved us, before we decided to go all in on unbounded economic growth and endless militarism, and part survival guide which, now that the results of this bout of folly are coming in, can allow families and communities to cut their burn rate in comfort and style. And it also lays out the foundations of a very useful and very necessary vocation to which all of us, young and old can aspire: Green Wizardry.
---Dmitry Orlov, author of Reinventing Collapse and The Five Stages of Collapse
Just as someone starting a business would get a book on business planning, this is the book for planning a greener life. Rather than being split into chapters, Green Wizardry is split into 36 lessons, each with an exercise at the end, where you are challenged to apply your new-found knowledge to your own life or delve more deeply into a subject. If there were a class on green living, this would be the ideal text!

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Johan Santana kept retiring batter after batter, hoping Minnesota's offense would eventually come up with a big hit.
Oakland's Kirk Saarloos finally made a mistake, and Justin Morneau took advantage.
Santana pitched eight innings of two-hit ball, Morneau hit a two-run homer in the eighth to spoil the chance of three straight shutouts by Oakland and the Twins beat the Athletics 2-1 on Friday night.
"It was a good night," Santana said. "We were able to battle through it and stay in the game. I was hoping somebody would hit a good ball. That's the way I do it: I try to stay consistent."
Santana gave up both hits in the second inning. After Bobby Kielty's two-out single, Santana retired the final 19 batters he faced before Joe Nathan finished for his seventh save in as many chances.
Santana (5-4), the 2004 AL Cy Young Award winner and an All-Star last season, won for the first time in four starts since beating the White Sox on May 12. He struck out nine and didn't allow a walk.
"He's won a Cy Young for a reason," Oakland's Jason Kendall said.
The A's had gone 25 innings without allowing a run, and Saarloos appeared in position to follow the feats of Joe Blanton and Barry Zito who had shutouts before him, but Morneau sent a 1-2 pitch over the right-field fence for his 11th homer of the season.
Morneau was pleased he could do something to help Santana, who has struggled to get enough run support.
"He pitches like that every game," Morneau said. "We wasted one of those earlier in the year. He threw great and you don't want to give a guy too many losses when he pitches like that."
Frank Thomas homered for the third straight game to give him 461 for his career, but the A's missed a chance at their first three-game winning streak since five straight victories from May 14-19.
Thomas homered in three straight games for the 20th time in his career and the first since doing it June 13-17 last year for the Chicago White Sox.
The Big Hurt is finding his stroke after a slow start with his new team. He connected for his 13th homer of the year leading off the second inning, giving him 1,495 RBI to tie him with Gary Sheffield for 44th place all-time. In addition, with his 922nd extra-base hit, he moved past Harold Baines and Goose Goslin into sole possession of 42nd place.
"He's hot," Santana said. "He's a great hitter. He's been swinging the bat pretty well lately. Make a mistake and you pay for it."
Santana, who has gone seven or more innings in each of his last nine starts, had no qualms about not returning for the ninth. That's because Nathan hasn't allowed a hit in his seven saves.
Saarloos (2-4), who could be headed back to the bullpen once the A's get injured starters Rich Harden and Esteban Loaiza back, lost his third straight start and fourth in five. The right-hander retired 16 straight during one stretch before Nick Punto's one-out single in the sixth.
Saarloos, who had walked 12 batters in his previous two outings, allowed a walk to Punto to start the game followed by a single to Luis Castillo. Joe Mauer then grounded into a double play to start a stretch of eight straight groundballs by the Twins, who weren't very patient at the plate in the early innings.
Mauer went 0-for-4 and had his career-high 11-game hitting streak snapped.
It was another quick game at 2 hours, 3 minutes after the A's won Thursday night's series opener in 1:57. Oakland had its game go 2:07 Wednesday against Kansas City.
"Another two-hour ballgame," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, whose team is 9-3 in one-run games. "This time on the right side for us. Two great pitching performances. Johan was super."
Thomas has 47 homers and 129 RBI in 165 career games against the Twins - and only Reggie Jackson with 51 has more homers against Minnesota. Thomas is batting .375 (6-for-16) with two homers against Santana. ... Seven of Thomas' homers this year have led off an inning. ... Terry Tiffee got the start at designated hitter for the Twins after being recalled from Triple-A Rochester. ... Torii Hunter grounded into a 5-4-3 double play to end the seventh in which replays showed he was safe. Gardenhire hustled out to argue with first-base umpire Travis Reininger. ... A's RHP reliever Jay Witasick, on the 15-day DL since April 14 with a sprained left ankle, pitched two innings in a rehab assignment for Class-A Stockton at Modesto. He struck out four and allowed one hit.

Government can no longer neglect Brazil says UK foreign Secretary02/03/2012
As William Hague prepares for his first visit to Brazil as Foreign Secretary, he talks of the importance it is for Britain
He was due to visit Brazil last year but was deferred by the fast moving events of the Arab Spring. In that time, Brazil leapfrogged the UK to become the sixth largest economy in the world.
"It's one of the emerging powers of the world," he said. "Its economy is in general growing quite rapidly. It's also a country which shares a lot of our values and it's a country which is relatively easy for British people to trade and deal with.
"And of course, it is the country that will follow us with the Olympics, so it's going to be the centre of a huge amount of attention over the next decade.
"So for all these reasons it is a country that we must not neglect, and that I feel has been neglected in previous years. This is one of the things we are putting right under the current government."
Mr Hague is a strong supporter of Brazil's aspirations to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council, as the largest and most economically significant country in the region. He confirmed trade statistics to show how Britain's business links with Brazil are increasing and proudly pointed out that there have been 14 ministerial visits since the coalition government was formed in May 2010 – compared to only 10 in the whole of the previous three years. He also went onto to confirm that Britain will treble or even quadruple efforts in order to have a better relationship with Brazil.

OOOH! Major Diaper Bag Envy! LOL!
I have been drooling over those Petunia Picklebottom backpacks for months now! I'm so glad to hear they are as functional as they are adorable!
Hey question though--how big is the fold out changing pad? Is it really big enough or should I still plan on carrying one with me?

If I ever shop for a real diaper backpack one of these days, I was wondering whether anyone has tried the Eagle Creek Parent Survival Pack? Babyworks sells it under diapering accessories, so I guess it must be CD friendly. It doesn't show the inside, so I was wondering whether anyone had experience with it and could tell how much fits into the main compartment.

Pure Excitement
We love it when the friends we have helped return to share their happiness. Lacey, who was assisted by John, one of our job coaches, was one of 148 individuals who received job coaching assistance in FY2016. She returned to L&F to share her excitement and express her gratitude. She celebrated her one month anniversary as a part-time office manager and shared her new business cards. Her husband also recently gained employment as a CNC operator. Lacey's aspirations to build a good life for the couple's 3-year old son don't end there: she's been interviewing for supplemental employment too. Despite setbacks from a health issue and the effects of unemployment, she shared the secret for her ever-present smile and cheerfulness.
"My grandmother always told me that no matter how bad things get, there's always something positive to focus on," she said, adding, "My son has a full belly thanks to Loaves and Fishes so I ask myself, 'What else can I do to move forward and help my family?'" Congratulations Lacey, and thank you for providing us with hope and a smile!
Volunteer Chat
Margie Tarpey began her Naperville CARES tenure in 2001 as volunteer and President of the Board when it was housed within the L&F warehouse. She joined L&F as an intake volunteer in 2010 and her husband Tom followed in 2011 working in distribution. After raising their 3 children and retiring from successful careers. the Tarpeys, who also have 8 grandchildren, have been active volunteers in the community.
Margie has since transitioned into public benefits at L&F. It fulfills a desire the retired nurse manager has always had to serve others. "I love the enjoyment of helping people understand the system and navigate its complicated aspects," she said. She relayed the story of a recent client who had difficulty understanding how to read an invoice and inadvertently overpaid $2500 toward her health insurance premium over two years. The company would only offer a credit against her account instead of a refund even though Margie had explained to them that the over-payment equaled twenty-five percent of the client's annual income. It took more than a month of communications with the healthcare company before a refund was issued. "She was so delighted and appreciative," said Margie, recalling the hugs and thank you card she'd received. Both Tom and Margie are excited for the future of Loaves and Fishes and its CARES Programs. "The two combined are dynamite and will enhance the community; together the food and non-food services can offer so much to people that aren't as lucky as we are."
CARES Update
As you're likely aware, on July 1, 2016 Loaves & Fishes merged with Naperville CARES. We have been working to integrate physical space and systems to combine CARES programs with existing L&F Empowerment Programs. Loaves and Fishes CARES Programs now offers all non-food services from both organizations.
In addition to services previously provided at L&F the two main services offered previously at Naperville CARES will be added. The car program helps clients maintain or gain employment. All donated vehicles are accepted regardless of condition. Those that are too expensive to be repaired are sold at auction and the funds are used to fix the cars that can be given to clients.
The emergency assistance program helps local families in financial crisis meet their essential needs by providing financial support and resources. Clients provide detailed documentation and meet with a trained volunteer to illustrate eligibility. The Resource Committee reviews each file and if approved, works with local and agencies and congregations to put together a financial package to provide the best outcome possible for the client.
Birthday Bag Queen
Kate Schultz donated 123 birthday bags on her July 15th birthday in memoriam to her mother who she lost in 2007. "On my birthday, my mother made me feel like the most special girl in the entire world," said Kate, citing her motivation for her annual project coordinated through Let Them Eat Cake – Chicago/Naperville.
Thank you, Kate, for the joy and smiles that erupt from your heartfelt donation!
What is Food Insecurity?
Being Food Insecure means being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of safe and nutritious food for an active, healthy life. The child food insecurity rate for DuPage County is 14.6%. Since 1995, the USDA has measured and published information about food insecurity in the United States through data collected through an annual food insecurity survey conducted through the U.S. Census Bureau. The survey questions cover a wide range of conditions—from worrying that food will run out, to not being able to afford balanced meals, to not eating for a whole day due to a lack of money. It has become an important index for understanding the health of a community.
Food insecurity has high cost for individuals, families and communities. Studies by medical researchers, nutritionists, and scientists have found that food insecurity is associated with:
- Poor physical and mental health
- Underuse of prescription medications
- Reduced nutrient intake
- Increased likelihood of experiencing chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Among children, food insecurity is associated with a variety of health and wellness issues, including:
- Anemia
- Stomach aches
- Frequent headaches and colds
- Anxiety
- Behavioral problems
- Poor psychosocial development
- Lower academic achievement and attainment
- Among adolescents, food insecurity is associated with higher rates of depressive disorder and suicidal symptoms.
Reducing the food insecurity is one of the best ways to improve the health of our community for everyone.
Food Rescue Facts
with Cary Gilkey, Vice-President of Operations
Our Food Rescue program accounts for 60% of the food we distribute to our clients. We have a partnership with 19 grocery stores, 7 restaurants, several warehouses and manufacturers, and 4 local farmers where we pick up food and other products that are close to the "Best By/Sell By" dates.
During an average summer week we make more than 100 pickups to rescue 70,000 to 90,000 pounds of food with our refrigerated truck, 2 cargo vans and some volunteer vehicles. This team of drivers includes 5 staff members and a fantastic group of as many as 20 volunteers. The product is recorded at the donor's facility to help them identify their inventory loss and 'write-off' opportunities. We record the weight of all product donations which is reported back to the individual stores, Northern Illinois Food Bank and Feeding America. Our warehouse volunteers prepare the product for our market by separating fruits and vegetables, meat, refrigerated dairy and prepared foods, bread, baked goods and general dry grocery items. This occurs seven days a week from 7AM – 3PM. A product is still nutritious and safe to eat beyond the "Best By" date on the product which is when manufacturers and retailers want to sell it. We adhere to the standards of the USDA and research of Consumers Reports on the life of unopened food categories.
The amount of fresh produce we provide makes Loaves and Fishes a strong model in providing food resources in a compassionate and dignified manner.

Dissemination of illegal religious literature goes down in Azerbaijan
27 August 2013 [10:32] -
Instances related to revealing illegal religious literature have decreased in Azerbaijan, the State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations said.
According to the state committee, the Azerbaijani government from time to time reveals facts on dissemination and sale of illegal religious literature aimed at fomenting religious strife and targeting the state system.
Some religious groups attempt to spread thoughts about changes in the state system. In particular, such ideas can be encountered in the literature of unconventional religious movements. These include religious books, brochures, discs, tapes and other items, the committee's report said.
The State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of National Security reveal such literature, confiscate it and take due measures.
According to Azerbaijan's legislation, citizens and entities seeking to publish and import such literature should make a relevant appeal to the State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations. Experts of the committee analyze the appeals and publication and import of this literature is banned if the feedback is negative.
The religious groups have started to take seriously the expertise of the state committee and pay special attention to the publication and import of religious literature.
According to the committee, executives of the committee permanently conduct preventive and awareness work with religious groups to prevent negative instances, and these efforts have yielded results.
According to the amendments made to the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan two years ago, punishment for illegal release, import, sale or circulation of religious literature, items and other materials of religious content has been toughened. Doing so without pertinent permission is punishable by a fine worth 5,000 to 7,000 manats or imprisonment for a term of up to two years.
The same acts taken by a group of people, organized by a group or involving an official who uses his/her position envisage punishment in the form of payment of 7,000 to 9,000 manats or a jail sentence of two to five years.
It was reported earlier that as a result of measures taken to counter illegal import, publication and dissemination of religious literature in Azerbaijan, 791 religious books were scrutinized and import of 49 books which propagated radicalism and religious intolerance declined.
The State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations was established by a decree of the former Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev enacted on July 21, 2001.
The Committee is a central executive body in charge of the state policy relating to religious activity, which ensures compliance with the domestic legislation, and coordination of the work of relevant executive authorities regarding religious institutions. The Committee does not provide financial assistance to any religious institutions.
The Committee is headed by its chairman who is appointed and dismissed by the President of Azerbaijan and bears personal responsibility for the duties assigned to the Committee.
According to Azerbaijan's law on religious faith adopted in 1992, everyone has the right to believe in any religion, to express and spread his or her opinion about religion. All religions and religious organizations enjoy equal rights in Azerbaijan.
However, it is forbidden by the law to propagate and spread religious ideas related to racial, ethnic, religious and social hostility that contradict the principles of humanism. The law also bans religious propaganda by foreigners in Azerbaijan.
More than 570 religious communities have been registered in Azerbaijan so far. 555 of them are Islamic, and 21 are non-Islamic communities.
There are 12 Christian, 6 Jewish, 2 Bahai and a Krishna community among the non-Islamic religious organizations.
