Time and Memory
On March 5, 2017, the Washington Master Chorale presents "Time and Memory," a meditation on the themes of nostalgia, love, and immortality expressed in both poetry and music. The centerpiece of the concert will be the world premiere of Ruminations—a work for soloists, chorus, and chamber ensemble by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Jennifer Higdon. Ruminations is based on the poetry of thirteenth-century Persian mystic and poet Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī. The concert will also feature John Corigliano's Fern Hill, Dylan Thomas's poetic evocation of his childhood in Wales; Tarik O'Regan's Triptych, a memento mori for chorus and strings; and Imant Raminsh's Songs of Lights, based on Native American texts. There will be a 4:00 p.m. pre-concert conversation with Maestro Colohan and Dr. Higdon on the art of bringing poetry to life through music. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Sunday, October 30, 2016 at 5:00 p.m.
Church of the Epiphany, 1317 G St NW, Washington, DC 20005
Hail, Gladdening Light: Choral Works from the British Isles
On Sunday, October 30, 2016, the chorale will present "Hail, Gladdening Light," a program of sacred and secular works from the British Isles featuring Herbert Howells' impressionistic Requiem, written in 1932. Originally intended for Boris Ord and the choir of King's College, King's never received it, and the piece languished until it was released for performance in 1980, three years before Howells' death. The women's voices will be spotlighted in several works written by Howells' close friend Gustav Holst, among them the Rigveda. Indian Sanskrit hymns translated by Holst himself, the Rigveda were likely written between c.1500–1200 BC. The men will solo on Benjamin Britten's dramatic "Ballad of Lady Barnard and Little Musgrave," a tale of love and murder that dates to the seventeenth century and was collected by scholar James Francis Child. Other composers on the program include Ralph Vaughan Williams, Charles Wood, James MacMillan, C. Kenneth Turner, and Thomas Tallis.

Comfort and Joy: Christmas with the Washington Master Chorale
On Sunday, December 18, 2016, at the historic Church of the Epiphany, the Washington Master Chorale will present a tasty blend of seasonal treats as we drive away the dark and prepare to usher in a promising new year. You'll hear carols, motets, and hymns by Chorale favorites – Lauridsen, Vaughan Williams, Jacques, Tavener, MacMillan, Pärt, Purcell, Mendelssohn, Willcocks, and more. Of special interest will be the Chorale's performance of two carols by little known, post-WWII Scottish composer Ronald Center (1913-1973). An intensely shy man who lived with his wife, soprano Evelyn Morrison Center, in the rural town of Huntly, Center taught piano to local school children, directed the church choir and played the organ. He rarely allowed his music to be played and at the time of his death in 1973, many of his compositions remained unpublished. Thankfully, we have his Three Nativity Carols, two of which, "There is no Rose" and "Wither's Rocking Hymn" will be performed by the Chorale. In tribute to the late J. Reilly Lewis, the Chorale joins with other Washington-area choruses in honoring the man and his music and will perform "Lobet Den Herrn Alle Heiden" by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Trumpets, merry organ, high spirits, and bright voices – yours and ours – you won't want to miss this joyful afternoon!

You should definitely have an attorney. You can file a petition to terminate even if the prosecuting attorney and DHHS won't do it for you. You, as the children's guardian, should be driving this process. Also, there may be an adoption tax credit if your goal is adoption.
Bottom line: You need an attorney.See question
Has a sealed YTA from 16 years ago. Does this have any effect on name change?
This can be done in Michigan as an adult adoption. As long as the stepmother and the stepson (33) consent, it is relatively easy. See my website and go to adult adoption. www.RathertLaw.com.See question
I have had guardship of my neice for seven months in which the custodial parent signed off on. Recently, I discovered that both parents are willing to give up their parental rights so I can adopt her? Problem is I dont know what to do next. I dont...
I agree that you should get an adoption attorney. As far as costs go, you may be able to get back, dollar-for-dollar, every dollar you spend on this adoption up to $12,970. This is called the adoption tax credit. So the net cost, after the adoption tax credit, may be zero. But remember, it costs $200,000 or so to raise a child and even more to put him or her through college.
I suggest you look for an attorney who is a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys.
Good luck!!!See question
what kind of evidence or proof would a female need in order to get a court order for me to take a paternity test
Probably none, but I need more facts. Please give me a call and we can discuss it.

He's always been behind on child support. I've gotten his visitations removed because he was so inceonsent. And he has not seen him in over a year.
You need an adoption lawyer. In Michigan, if there is substantially no contact for two years and substantial non-compliance with a support order for two years, you can probably get his rights terminated without his consent. With his consent, it is easier to do so. Go to the adoption section of my web site and read the part on step parent adoptions. I would be happy to help you on this.
me and my fiance been together for five years since my daughter was 1 her father been in prison before she was born do we have to be married for him to adopt
No. In Michigan, you must be married first to do a step-parent adoption. Also, you must have the father's rights terminated.
After you get married, you should retain an adoption attorney. To read about the process, you can go to my web site: www.rathertlaw.com and look under adoption and then step parent adoption.See question
I'm in the process of adopting a child, and the bills are starting to get a little expensive. Do I get any tax write offs for adopting a child, besides claiming them as a dependent?
Adoptive parents may qualify for a tax credit for adoption-related expenses of up to $13,360 (for 2011) and $12,650 (for 2012). In other words, if you spend $12,650 on this adoption, you may get $12,650 back as a tax credit on your federal income tax return. If you do not pay enough taxes to get all the credit back in one year, you can carry over the tax credit for up to an additional five years. You may also be entitled to a tax credit from your state (but not Michigan starting in 2012) and, sometimes reimbursement from your employer.
Ken Rathert--adoption attorney, Kalamazoo, MIchiganSee question
My daughter is pregnant and would like my other daughter to adopt the baby, the father of the child has agreed to this. What can we do to make this easy, quick and affordable
I agree completely with Attorney Phelps.
You can read about relative adoptions on my web site: www.rathertlaw.com.
You can also read about the adoption tax credit, for which your adopting daughter may be eligible. This is up to $12,650 for adoptions completed in 2012. Because of the tax credit, most of my clients get all the money they pay doing an adoption back, dollar for dollar. The tax credit does apply to relative adoptions, but not to step-parent or adult adoptions.
In any case, your daughter that is going to adopt should definitely contact an adoption attorney.

My mother and her husband adopted my special needs nephew. When my mother passes she would like me to assume guardianship of my nephew but her husband dose not. Unfortunatly, he is unsuitable for the role of caretaker. Being afraid of angering her...
As you state the problem, this will be very difficult. Your father is now the legal father. His rights will be paramount unless you have grounds to terminate or suspend them. Being "unsuitable for the role of caretaker" is not sufficient grounds to do either. This true even if your mother does express her desire in her will for you to have a guardianship. Why didn't you, rather than your parents, adopt the boy in the first place?
It sounds like you and your mother and your need some help communicating. Perhaps a family counselor would be best. But, if you want to seek a legal solution, when the time comes, i.e. when your mother dies, you should consult an attorney.See question
Her dad had a CSC charge for messing around with a four year old and is currently in prison for selling weed. When I dated her dad, my kids were removed from my care.(Once he was in custody, my children were returned) If he can't be around kids, h...
You should get a lawyer and file for a step parent adoption. Your lawyer will also have to file a supplemental petition to terminate the father's rights. It will be based on whether he has had much contact within the last two years and whether he has paid support during that time. I do these all the time. Your case sounds very strong. You should read on my web site about step parent adoptions. www.rathert.law.com. Go to adoptions and then step parent adoptions.See question

Here to remain and firmly implanted in the U.S. mortgage market, period of time mortgage payments are attainment impulse. First introduced into the U.S. in the archaean 1980's by various weensy Northeastern Banks, the model of time period mortgages has its origins in Canada.
This generalization before long became the having mass appeal judgment across the country within smaller amount than a decennary after it's coming on introduction the period of time giving idea in the fore of Canada's security interest industry circa 1972 for individual well behaved reasons. Consider the following:
1. Most associates are paid period or biweekly, therefore, it is defensible to have as an prospect "biweekly security interest payments".
2. On a period of time mortgage wage schedule, one half of a loan's unit of time fee is ready-made and credited to the side holder both two weeks. This is same to production 13 monthly payments as an alternative of the wonted 12 unit of time payments reducing the loan's payoff juncture.
3. Faster addition of equity raise up of up to 300%, positive a markdown in wonder due on the loan due to your defrayal is the after effects of using a period of time wage schedule; that's short any expansion to your monthly production. In some other words, you'll get more meaning per monetary unit and gather thousands as well; as some as 25% to 30% in go terminated the existence of the debt.
Combine the benefits of a time period costs docket near a coalition relating an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) property of justification service that is citizenry by Regulation "E" of the Federal Reserve to a cover into the internet and you will breakthrough a super-efficient, safe, consumer-friendly approach of profitable a monthly must that won't proceeds a immense wound from one check.

11) Has Landon Donovan embarked on a Rocky-style training camp in frigid Wisconsin?
Isn't Twitter great? How else would we know that American soccer's most famous vision quester has popped up in Madison, apparently to take in sessions with Badgers football strength and conditioning coach Brian Bott? LD has family in the area, but it sure looks a lot like he's building the fitness base he'll need to hit the ground running when he returns to the Galaxy next week.
10) Will D.C. United find their flow when Columbus come to town on Saturday?
Four points from the first three games of the season marks a decent, but hardly domineering start for last year's Eastern Conference finalists. Goals have been scarce (just one in all) and spells of fluid possession limited, as head coach Ben Olsen admitted this week. The Crew backline will present a stout obstacle for attacking lynchpins Dwayne De Rosario and Chris Pontius, who are both due for breakout performances (3:30 pm, NBCSN, live chat on MLSsoccer.com).
READ: The Word: D.C. United's Chris Pontius: From meager beginnings to MLS stardom – and maybe beyond
9) Who will inspire Sporting Kansas City at New England without Graham Zusi?
With a goal and two assists already this season, Zusi (right) has been his usual productive self in Sporting colors, no doubt a factor in his call-up to the national team. His participation in these crucial qualifiers forces his SKC teammates to conjure up some creativity on their own when they visit the Revolution on Saturday (4 pm ET, MLS Live).
8) Will the Orange Obliteration System work for Vancouver in Houston?
The first-place Whitecaps appropriated FC Dallas' clever poke at the Dynamo this week, noting the success of the OOS in FCD's impressive win over Houston. And in truth, the British Columbians need all the help they can get as they enter BBVA Compass Stadium (8:30 pm ET, MLS Live), where the Dynamo have yet to lose in 32 games, on Saturday. For their part, the Orange have their sights set on breaking Real Salt Lake's league record, which is just two games away.
READ: Vancouver Whitecaps expect young stars to step up in Miller's absence
7) Can RSL overcome their grisly history in the Lone Star State?
Speaking of Real, they're currently carrying a streak of a much less distinguished nature on their trip to Frisco to battle FCD (8 pm ET, MLS Live). The Claret-and-Cobalt are a stunning 0-18-3 all-time on Texas soil, and to make matters worse the heart of their lineup has been ripped away by international call-ups for the likes of Nick Rimando, Kyle Beckerman and Álvaro Saborío.
6) Who can get the nets billowing when San Jose and Seattle tangle?
Another surprising feature of the current league standings: The attack-minded Sounders and Earthquakes have managed just four goals total in their combined six games. Even with a range of contributors missing through injury and international duty, it seems hard to believe that state of affairs will continue when they do battle at Buck Shaw Stadium on Saturday night (10:30 pm ET, MLS Live).
5) Will Chelís and Chivas USA build on two weeks of dramatic improvement?
With a comeback victory over Dallas followed by a hard-earned draw with defending MLS Cup champions LA (right), the Goats have come a long way since their 3-0 loss to Columbus on opening weekend. Head coach José Luis "Chelís" Sánchez Solá seems to be coming to grips with his new league and his players have bought in to his tactics and personality. Their first road test of the season is up next: a visit to chilly Chicago to face the winless Fire (Sunday, 5 pm ET, UniMas).
READ: Juan Francisco Palencia named director of soccer for Chvias USA, Chivas de Guadalajara
4) Can the US national team calm the waters with a W?
Underwhelming performances earlier this year, uncertainty in the locker room and the crushing pressure of World Cup qualifying have made this a dicey week for the Yanks as they prepare for Friday's clash with Costa Rica in Colorado (10 pm ET, ESPN, UniMas, live chat on MLSsoccer.com). The best – perhaps the only – remedy for what ails Jurgen Klinsmann & Co. is a victory over Los Ticos and the three points it would bring.
READ: What controversy? Herculez Gomez respects Sporting News article, says US will be better for it
3) And will they have anything left for Mexico City on Tuesday?
The USMNT coaching staff selected DSGP as Friday's venue with an eye towards getting their squad acclimated to thin mountain air ahead of next week's clash with El Tri in the smoggy, lung-burning environs of Estadio Azteca, surely the toughest road trip in CONCACAF. Few outside the US camp give them any chance of earning their first-ever qualifying win on Mexican soil, though last year's 1-0 friendly victory over Mexico at Azteca will linger in the minds of players and coaches alike.
2) Do injury-ravaged Colorado have a ghost of a chance in LA?
GOAL: Deshorn Brown opens MLS account
As if their starting midfield and attack options hadn't already been devastated by health issues, the Rapids are now set to visit the defending champs with a 23-year-old reserve named Clint Irwin starting in goal thanks to Matt Pickens' broken arm. The Home Depot Center is a tough place for the Mile High Club to chase their first win of the season, and they'll probably need another good display up front from 2013 SuperDraft selection Deshorn Brown to get a positive result on Saturday evening (10:30 pm ET, MLS Live).
1) Can the Montreal Impact stay perfect?
Not many would have predicted a month ago that the league's only 3-0-0 team at this point would be the Impact. New coach Marco Schällibaum's tactics and team selections have been solid, making light of his lack of MLS experience, and the team has shown admirable spirit and cohesiveness. The New York Red Bulls have a tall order on their hands as they visit Quebec without the services of Designated Players Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill (Saturday, 4:30 pm ET, MLS Live).

Per square mile, Wales has more castles than any other country -
over 500 at the last count. And in Southern Wales we have
some of the best. We have the biggest, the oldest, the
youngest, the most picturesque and the most extravagant.
Standing proudly in the centre of Caerphilly is the second biggest
castle in the UK. The imposing fort with its high walls and
moat defences would have been a significant deterrent to attacking
foes. Thankfully with a lowered drawbridge and raised
portcullis it's slightly easier to get in these days.
Caldicot Castle
Caldicot Castle dates from around 1086 when the Normans first
erected a fort on the site. Today the castle sits within 55
acres of beautiful parkland and makes for a great day out.
Chepstow Castle
Built just one year after the Norman Conquest in
1067, Chepstow Castle was the first stone fort to be built in
Wales. Perched on a cliff above the River Wye, the castle
stands guard over the Wales/England border. The castle's
original doors (now safely encased in within the castle) are 800
years old and thought to be the oldest in Europe.
Raglan Castle
Built as a peaceful home rather than a fearsome fortress, Raglan
still had to survive one fearsome onslaught from Oliver Cromwell's
forces during the civil war. The castle is a relative
youngster compared to others, dating from the 1430s.

Market Analysis
For information on current and previous baseline projections for rice, see the market outlook chapter.Haiti's U.S. Rice Imports
This report examines the importance of rice imports to the diet of the Haitian population and analyzes numerous factors that limit Haiti's ability to expand rice production. The report concludes that Haiti will continue to import about 80 percent of its rice and that the Unites States will likely remain the major supplier due to quality, proximity, and consumer preference (January 2016).
China's Growing Participation in Agricultural Markets: Conflicting Signals
This publication examines the role of China as a major global importer of agricultural commodities. With rising living standards and increasing urbanization, food demand is expected to continue growing while resource constraints limit growth in production, indicating China will remain a large net-importer of farm products (2015).Southeast Asia's Rice Surplus
This report examines the ability of this region to remain the world's largest rice exporting region, despite hosting several major importers. The report concludes that slower consumption growth and continued expansion in output will allow Southeast Asia to remain the world's largest rice exporter, a factor critical to the global rice market (December 2012).Consolidation and Structural Change in the U.S. Rice Sector
This publication examines how the structure of the U.S. rice industry evolved from 1992 to 2007. The authors analyze the economic factors driving these structural changes and explore the implications of those changes for market efficiency and competitiveness of the U.S. rice industry (April 2011).Factors Behind the Rise in Global Rice Prices in 2008
This report examines factors underlying the high prices seen from November 2007 to April 2008. The price increase did not result from a crop failure or a particularly tight global rice supply situation. Instead, trade restrictions by major suppliers, panic-buying by several large importers, a weak U.S. dollar, and record oil prices were the immediate cause of the rise in rice prices (May 2009).
"Agricultural Commodity Price Spikes in the 1970s and 1990s: Valuable Lessons for Today"
This report examines the recent run-up in commodity prices in light of similar occurrences in 1971-74 and 1994-96. Although similar to those earlier price run-ups, rising demand for grains and oilseeds for biofuels adds a new dimension of complexity (Amber Waves, March 2009).
"Fluctuating Food Commodity Prices: A Complex Issue With No Easy Answers"
This publication explores the many factors that contributed to the rapid escalation of food commodity prices through mid-2008 (November 2008). For the full report, see:
- Global Agricultural Supply and Demand: Factors Contributing to the Recent Increase in Food Commodity Prices (July 2008)
This research reports that regional differences in production practices, farm characteristics, and growing conditions were major influences on production costs incurred by U.S. rice producers in 2000. Three-quarters of rice production was concentrated on large and very large farms, categories that included nearly two-thirds of all rice farms (March 2004).
Developing Supply and Utilization Tables for the U.S. Rice Market
This report explains how USDA prepares monthly supply and use tables for the U.S. rice sector. It describes data sources, start-of-year forecasts, and year-end estimates (November 2000).
Characteristics of U.S. Rice Farming
This report uses census data to describe the structure of rice farming in the United States (November 2000).
TradeChina's Growing Demand for Agricultural Imports
This publication examines China's recent emergence as a major agricultural importer, analyzes U.S.-China trade patterns, summarizes projections of future imports, and discusses how Chinese officials are adjusting their strategic approach to agricultural trade as imports grow (February 2015).Growth and Evolution in China's Agricultural Support Policies
This report examines China's expanding program of domestic agricultural support that has raised concerns among trading partners. Specifically, industry leaders and policymakers in the United States and elsewhere want to know how China's policies affect production and agricultural trade (August 2013).Indian Wheat and Rice Sector Policies and the Implications of Reform
This research suggests that future developments in India's food grain sector will be shaped by how policies adapt to the sector's new economic environment. Some changes, such as reducing price supports and the scope of government food grain operations, would likely cut government costs, benefit consumers, allow a larger private-sector role in the domestic market, and increase reliance on trade (May 2007).Commercialization of Food Consumption in Rural China
This publication finds that rural households rely on self-produced commodities, especially grains and vegetables, for a large share of the food they consume. However, as incomes rise and markets develop, rural households purchase more of their food from markets (July 2005).China's New Farm Subsidies
This report describes new policies that China implemented in 2004 and assesses their impact on Chinese rural income and grain production. China introduced direct subsidies for farmers, began to phase out its centuries-old agricultural tax, and implemented other policies benefitting farmers (February 2005).
China's Japonica Rice Market: Growth and Competitiveness
This publication briefly describes the evolution of China's japonica rice market over the last two decades, including the impact of changes on China's competitiveness in key Asian import markets. Although China has traditionally exported long grain (or indica) rice varieties, in recent years, it has exported substantial amounts of japonica rice as well (November 2002).
Taiwan's Rice Import Market to Open with WTO Accession
This report reviews Taiwan's policies toward its most important crop. World Trade Organization accession in 2002 has introduced a minimum access import quota of 8 percent, and in order to withdraw an equivalent amount of production from the market, Taiwan's government is preparing to enlarge the paddy area that farmers leave fallow (November 2001).
This report analyzes the markets for different types of U.S.-grown rice. Trends within each market are addressed, as well as the U.S. position in global rice trade (November 2000).
Rice Tariffication in Japan: What Does It Mean for Trade?
This research examines how Japan used tariff-rate quotas in 1999 and 2000 to slow growth in rice imports. While Japan now allows imports above the minimum amounts required under the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture, tariffs on rice imports above minimum access are prohibitively high—in 1999, 450 percent of the price of imported rice. U.S. rice exports to Japan likely increased at a slower rate than under fixed quantitative limits (April 1999).
Commodity Policy
Agricultural Act of 2014: Highlights and Implications
This page provides highlights and summaries of important new programs and provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill, as well as some economic implications of the new farm legislation based on ERS expertise in relevant policy areas.
This report presents a title-by-title summary of key provisions of the 2008 Act in a side-by-side comparison with previous legislation. The side-by-side includes links to related ERS publications and to analyses of previous farm acts. New features include a user's guide, an A-Z list of major provisions, and a search function (August 2008).Valuing Counter-Cyclical Payments: Implications for Producer Risk Management and Program Administration
This publication illustrates an improved method for estimating counter-cyclical payment (CCP) rates by accounting for the variability in market price forecast errors. Forecasters and producers can use the model to calculate the probability of having to repay advanced CCPs (February 2007).Rice Backgrounder
The research reports that U.S. rice farming is a high-cost, large-scale operation. While domestic disappearance continues to increase, the outlook for rice farm incomes is tempered by higher production costs and continued strong competition in many international markets from lower cost Asian exporters (December 2006).

Today, Internet marketing, or online marketing, is evolving into a broader mix of components a company can use as a means of increasing sales – even if your business is done completely online, partly online, or completely offline. The decision to use Internet marketing as part of a company's overall marketing strategy is strictly up to the company of course, but as a rule, Internet marketing is becoming an increasingly important part of nearly every company's marketing mix For some online businesses , it is the only form of marketing being practiced.

In case you happen to own a business or a company in Phoenix , Arizona, you need to know that SEO (search engine optimization) services are very important for the growth and prosperity of your venture. Today, and for the last couple of years, SEO has been an integral part of internet advertising. In fact, many businesses are continuing to incorporate search engine optimization into their marketing policy. Therefore, if you aren't doing the same, it is the reason you are unable to compete with the big guys".
PS: I disliked how paid courses are set up in Coursera-I'm a bright person with excellent reading comprehension, but others in the class were scoring very low, yet giving positive reviews in the comments… and so a lot of people were failing the classes when they should be getting a B average. And people were scoring others really low and giving them ridiculous feedback that proved they didn't understand the material themselves. No thanks on the ignorant masses making sure I don't pass a class I'm paying for… good idea on paper, but between the complicated scoring set-up and the propensity for others to want to feel superior (even based on gender, ethnicity, etc.) it simply did not work well.
The new digital era has enabled brands to selectively target their customers that may potentially be interested in their brand or based on previous browsing interests. Businesses can now use social media to select the age range, location, gender and interests of whom they would like their targeted post to be seen by. Furthermore, based on a customer's recent search history they can be 'followed' on the internet so they see advertisements from similar brands, products and services, 31 This allows businesses to target the specific customers that they know and feel will most benefit from their product or service, something that had limited capabilities up until the digital era.

I haven't yet decided if I can bear to watch these pointless theatricals -- remember the old days, before twitter, when we used to live-blog it -- but whether I do or not, these are a few things to keep in mind as the rhetoric goes on, and on, and on:1) From early days it seemed pretty clear that Obama was more interested in being rather than doing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids; it all belongs to Walt Disney Pictures.
Dedicated: To Brighty
Not Good Enough
Russ shifts his weight from one foot to the other, tightening, then loosening, his grip on the straps of his backpack. Despite the warm sun shining down, he feels cold. He lets out a long breath; yet the butterflies in his stomach only increase.
He glances through the glass doors into the school lobby; it is still crowded with students talking excitedly with their friends. Russ's eyes linger on a small group of girls who stands near the doors: Sarah, Kim, and Amy. Amy. A wistful smile touches his lips.
She is the prettiest girl in the school, in his opinion. She recently cut her long hair; so now the curled ends brush her shoulders. She always dresses very well. And she is very smart, though not as great a genius as her little brother Nick.
Though they had been neighbors for about seven years, Russ can count on both hands how many times he has talked (besides saying "hi") to Amy. He has always had a crush on her. When ever she is within a ten-foot radius of him, he turns into a bumbling idiot, acting like a twelve-year-old instead of his sixteen years. And since now she is one of the popular kids at school, he has even less courage to approach her.
He himself is not even close to popular. Yes, he is on the football team; but he is lean and small and un-muscular, a far cry from the image of a hunky football player whom girls would go crazy over. He even lacks the personality of a football player; he is quiet and shy, not liking being the center of attention. Football just isn't his thing. Not for the first time, he thinks about quitting.
Mom would probably support him, but Dad… Russ knows Dad would likely make him rejoin the team. And Russ would hear for the hundredth time how "you as the oldest should not, cannot, give up football. You will be good enough if you keep working on it. You need to make me and your mom proud."
He suddenly becomes aware of the fact Amy is looking at him curiously. Embarrassed at being caught staring, he quickly turns away and gazes intently at the sidewalk, his ears a bright pink.
A few moments later, the doors open, and Russ immediately picks out Amy's laughter among the voices. He watches out of the corner of his eye as she and Sarah and Kim go down the stairs. He sighs when he sees someone else has joined the girls: Paul. He has his arm hanging companionably over Amy's shoulders. Paul is just the type of guy Amy would hook up with. He is tall, handsome, and real good at sports. No doubt those two will be going together to the dance in two weeks.
Russ wishes he had the courage just to go ask her to go with him. But she has never noticed him and never will. He is not good enough for her or his dad. Just not good enough.

Very disappointed
I am so disappointed. I received the bed in damaged condition. The foot board was completely broken in half. It is too much trouble to repackage the entire bed and return it so I am going to have to glue it together somehow and make it work. I don't think I will be mking any more purchases from overstock.com. :o(

There's no denying the state of today's talent crunch in the tech world. With even the smallest cities creating their own "Silicon Valleys," companies wading the talent pool for engineers are finding it's becoming shallower by the day. Making your business attractive to prospective developers is vital to seeing top class coders walk in for interviews. One oft-overlooked technique for winning the minds of developers is to embrace the open source world in which they are very likely immersed. Here are three easy ways to start being more engaged today.
1. Look for code to contribute
The best engineers are looking to work for companies that are innovative and forward thinking. Companies like Atlassian and Github consistently attract top-notch talent because their names have become synonymous with the very collaborative open source world. They're known to contribute heavily to the ecosystem, and good developers know that this can mean an opportunity to showcase their skills to a broader audience. Your company can take advantage of this by simply looking for useful things in your codebase that you might be able to open source. For instance, smaller JavaScript plugins or CSS templates that your developers have written can make great candidates to release to the open source world. This lets others contribute to your code, and also gives you open source exposure. Then with any luck, come interview time, a developer may have already heard of you from the community and be excited to join such a collaborative company.
2. Hold an open source meetup
This is a great way to find developers in your local area who are engaged in software and looking to network. If you're already using open source projects in your code, talk to your developers about why it's being used, how it's used, and how it's beneficial. For instance, I once attended a similar event for Yelp in San Francisco. There, they discussed their open source Python modules, how they were making use of them, and even asked for suggestions on how they could improve them. This was really a talent search in disguise, and from what I understand three developers received offers that night based on suggestions they'd made. This is a great way to attract talent and survey your local developer landscape.
3. Engage online
A lesser-known way to draw developers through the doors is simply to be helpful and engaged online under your company name. If your developers have been using Ruby on Rails for five years, there must be some helpful tips and tricks they've accumulated. It looks really good when your company has a Stack Overflow or Github account and can be seen answering questions and contributing online. Again, developers are typically drawn to these kinds of companies because collaboration and openness tend to breed creativity and engaging work. Find out if your development team has time to jump online and answer a few questions about the technology you're using. This can get your company's name in front of tons of developers who are actively involved in the craft.
Of course, these are only a few ways to attract developers to your company. The bottom line is that developers are known to gravitate toward more open and collaborative environments. Finding ways to give back to the open source community, or contributing to programming ecosystems is a fantastic way to gain exposure amongst the companies battling for talent. The net result will be more developers walking through your door for interviews.

I wonder at times, are all these super mega sites really a bargain, or is it that they make you think they are?
Both the boyfriend & I enjoy twinks, that's our particular flavor so when we go shopping for some sites to join, that is what we seek out. Now there are all kinds of Mega Sites, you know, that offer up thousands & thousands of sexy pictures, with almost as many Videos as well.
Then there is the obligatory 'bonus sites' included with everyone's membership, along with 'countless sexy feeds' that are guaranteed to give you what you are looking for. I mean the sales hype is really good for some of these sites, sort of like the AEN's that promise you access to thousands of sites for one low yearly fee.
Course, the issue for me is, are they telling the truth? Are there really thousands of pictures & videos in the site I am wanting to join, or is that in total? And there comes the rub, at least for wifey and me. The figures they quote very rarely are for that one site, but for everything combined.
Hell one site, included the videos from the feeds, that cost extra. I mean sorry, but when I pay my $30 or $40 a month, I don't want to pay more to see what you already promised me to see.
Maybe I am too anal about this stuff, but I figure if I am looking for a particular niche or category, then tell me what you have to offer, in that category, not combined with every other category covered by your mega sex sites. If I am searching for twinks, do I really need to know you have a few hundred videos featuring BDSM or Hairy Men?
In some sense, I feel cheated when that happens. I know other's don't, which is a whole other rant, but it seems to me that if you say you have thousands of pictures, hundreds upon hundreds of videos, and are selling me a twink membership, then that sales pitch should be referring to twinks.
And let's be honest, so you have ten thousand pictures or like one video on demand service thousands of videos to watch, does it make one bit of difference to me if 90% are not in the category I want to enjoy? If I spend my $30 or $40, am I really going to spend my time staring at some pot bellied old guy dressed up in leather, if my taste is for smooth bodies skinny eighteen year olds? Do I care if the 50 video feeds out of 55 are about bald guys with a hairy upper lip?
Sure, I'll poke around at the other categories, but that isn't what I am paying the cash for. It was the twinks, or the bears, or whatever, so why can't these mega sites be truly mega, in that field? Is the reality that they are simply throwing in all these unrelated material, to justify a higher membership price, and like saps, we fall for it?
If you enjoy reading books that are mysteries, are you going to be browsing the romance section at the same time? No, I don't think so, unless you can't find a good mystery to buy. So why do these mega sites figure we are going to settle for this other stuff, unless they know that we aren't going to find a lot of what interests us, for what we signed up for?
Kind of like the same hype the cable outfits use too. Get over 200 channels for one low monthly fee, but come on, how many of you have found something to watch on every one of those 200 channels you are paying extra for? The reality is, we have those 200 channels, & we would get more too, not because we have varied tastes, but simply to try and find something that will interest us.
I have flipped through the 200 channels, and reached for a book many a time, because there simply wasn't anything I wanted to watch. Sort of like signing up for the mystery channel to watch Agatha Christie mysteries, and wind up watching Julia Childs rerun cooking shows. Makes no sense to me, to sign up for twinks to get videos for some Bear site.

Note: The image above depicts a potential modification to the approved route (including the related Capital Cascade Trail). The modification would have the route turn south at the railroad tracks to Gamble Street and then follow the existing Gamble alignment westward to Lake Bradford Road. [View a larger version of this overview map.] For enlargements of individual segments in the modified route, click on one or more of the highlighted areas of the overview map.
The FAMU Way Extension Project will create a new east-west roadway between the current end of FAMU Way at Wahnish Way and Lake Bradford Road. The project also includes enhancements to the existing FAMU Way corridor between Wahnish Way and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Once completed, the FAMU Way Extension Project will provide an improved, safer roadway and enhanced mobility in the southern region of the city, in addition to offering new benefits and recreational opportunities for the entire community.
The future design of the roadway, which includes wide sidewalks and on-street parking, will improve safety for both motorized and non-motorized uses; encourage bicycle, pedestrian and mass transit use; minimize social, economic and environmental impacts; and improve local traffic flow.
Blueprint 2000's Capital Cascades Trail project will also serve as a complement to the City's extension of FAMU Way, which includes the construction of a multi-use trail, playground, bicycle/pedestrian walkways and many other amenities that will run alongside FAMU Way.
The project will be completed in three phases. Phase one of construction began in April 2014 and consists of the reconstruction of the existing roadway beginning at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and will extend FAMU Way to Pinellas Street. Phase one is expected to be completed by 2016. The second phase will include extending the road to Gamble Street and should be complete the following year. The third phase of construction will extend FAMU Way to Lake Bradford Road and is projected to be completed by 2018.
At the direction of the City Commission, staff embraced the challenge of designing the extension of FAMU Way from Wahnish Way to Lake Bradford Road so that it not only meets the transportation needs of the community, but so that when completed, it is one of the most beautiful roadways in Tallahassee. The City engaged area residents and FAMU University throughout the design process while also working to minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive areas, historical neighborhoods and adjacent businesses and the University.
The original extension of the FAMU Way alignment was based on citizen feedback and approved by the City Commissioner in spring of 2010. In May 2012, the City had to modify the western segment of the route due to the fact that CSX railroad would not permit an at-grade crossing included in the original plan. This new alignment routes FAMU Way on a southwesterly course west of Pinellas Street and will connect to Gamble Street and follow Gamble Street until it meets Lake Bradford Road. In addition to being a more cost-effective option, the new route was actually the most preferred by citizens who participated in a survey that was conducted to get community feedback and was later approved by the City Commission.
Since the inception of FAMU Way Extension and due to its proximity to Blueprint's Capital Cascades Trail (Segment 3), the projects have been running on parallel tracks with the goal of delivering one seamless construction contract. The combined project has been segmented into several construction phases and is sequenced so as to deliver the improvements in a westerly direction, starting with the Van Buren Pond at Martin Luther King Boulevard and ending at Lake Bradford Road. This phasing will also allow us to begin construction sooner on the easterly segments while concurrently completing the design and right-of-way acquisition associated with revising the alignment of the westerly segments.
Thank you for your interest in the FAMU Way Extension Project. Among other channels of communication, we offer a series of email updates designed to keep you informed and engaged. You may subscribe to receive updates on this project via email:
For questions or additional information about the FAMU Way Extension project, please contact the City's Communications Department at 850-891-8533.

This outlines the 2016/17 FOD proactive inspection programme to manufacturing industries where workers can be exposed to materials containing asthmagens and/or carcinogens from use or generated during the production or processes. The focus is on reducing serious ill health by ensuring the appropriate controls are in place.
Ill health effects from exposure to respiratory sensitisers and/or carcinogens can be chronic and life-changing. Every year many workers develop occupational asthma or occupational cancer as a result of exposures to substances in their workplace.
The purpose of this inspection programme is to target sectors where carcinogens and/or asthmagens are regularly used, produced or process generated to ensure the risks are properly managed and to reduce the incidence of serious health effects from exposure.
Premises should be selected using the SIC codes and other targeting information in the Organisation section of this OG, with sufficient visits planned for:
When setting up the COIN service order include keyword #healthcampaign1617 in the notes summary line.
The management of occupational health must be assessed in line with this OG when inspecting any premises within scope of the SIC codes targeted (see 'Organisation' section). When inspectors prioritise action in relation to Matters of Evident Concern (MEC) or Matters of Potential Major Concern (see OC18/12), further visits should be made to complete the actions below, as necessary.
The SIC code recorded for the premises must be checked and, if necessary, amended to ensure the visit and findings are correctly analysed for sector insight and future targeting.
Inspectors should:
Obtain occupational hygiene specialist support if required, especially where exposure is not suitably controlled or if uncertain about the level of control required.
Send to Manufacturing Sector information on good or poor practices found.
When inspecting food manufacturing premises for risks from flour dust and enzyme risks from musculoskeletal disorders should also be assessed. (see Workplan OG for MSD in food manufacturing premises inspection [web team to add link]).
When inspecting foundries and other cast metal sites risks from respirable crystalline silica (RCS) should also be assessed (see Workplan OG for RCS inspection information).
See further references section and appendices for guidance material.
Provide support to FOD inspectors on assessment, monitoring and control issues.
Provide support to FOD inspectors on cases of ill-health and health surveillance issues.
Provide support to FOD inspectors on benchmarking, risk gap and industry standards. See end of each Appendix for contact details.
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002 (COSHH) is the primary legislation used to assess and secure compliance.
Guidance is available on the application of the EMM to health risks and hazardous substances including where asthmagens and carcinogens are used, to determine the risk gap and Initial Enforcement Expectation (IEE).
Inspectors should give priority to minimising the risk (i.e. control) over arrangements for managing the symptoms (i.e. health surveillance) and focus particularly on those common tasks where inadequate controls can result in an extreme or substantial risk gap under the EMM.
Further details on the application of the EMM and indicative IEE are contained in Appendix 7.

Clay Aiken - Mary Did You Know - Fisher of Men
A teenaged girl learns that she is carrying the Son of the Living God. To the world she is no one special. She wouldn't stand out in a crowd, save the fact that she was an unwed mother in a time where there were no unwed mothers. She was just a child but she had the kind of faith that says, "Yes" without doubt or question. Could she possibly have known what was to come of her act of obedience? Could she possibly have seen that the child in her womb would grow up to become the savior of this world? Mary, did you know?

There is a chance your Win7 background to go black (without a possibility to add a background picture) if your Windows is not activated.
Did you have a non-genuine copy of Windows activated in some kind of non-Microsoft (illegitimate) way. If this was the case, and you recently effectuated Windows Update + restarted, your copy of Windows will go back to non-activated mode where the background is black with no possibility to change it.
Easy way out - register your copy ow Windows with a legitimate Windows key.

Lutheran bishop's reception of communion in Vatican was mistake, says Finnish Catholic spokesman
[Who's to blame? Proximately, the Catholic priest who insisted the Lutherans receive despite their following the protocol for signalling a desire to receive a blessing rather than Communion from the priest; ultimately, FrankenPope's "Let your conscience be your guide"-type answer to the Lutheran woman who asked him if she could receive Communion with her Catholic husband at Mass]
Matthew Cullinan Hoffman
January 26, 2016 ( LifeSiteNews.com/news/lutheran-bishops-reception-of-communion-in-vatican-was-mistake-says-finnish ) – A spokesman for the Catholic diocese of Helsinki says that the recent case of a Finnish Lutheran bishop receiving communion in the Vatican was a mistake, and that the rules regarding the reception of the Eucharist in Catholic churches remains the same.
"Only members of the Catholic Church in the state of grace may receive the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist, or Holy Communion," writes Marko Tervaportti of the Catholic Information Center, an arm of the Catholic diocese of Helsinki.
Tervaportti called the incident an "error that occurred in the distribution of communion," and stated that if communion is offered to Lutherans, "it is because of the ignorance of the minister of the Eucharist and it can still be politely refused."
He also rejected the claim by the Lutheran bishop, Samuel Salmi, that this act represented a "new attitude" on the part of the Vatican.
"Contrary to Samuel Salmi's speculation, it is useless to draw the conclusion that the Vatican has a 'new ecumenical attitude' based on the occurrence of an error that occurred in the distribution of communion," wrote Tervaportti. "The doctrine and practice of the Catholic Church with regard for whom it is possible to receive Holy Communion has not changed in recent years and decades. If it does change, it will not happen 'in the field,' but through an alteration of Church law and additions to teachings regarding the sacraments of the Catholic Church."
See a translation of the Helsinki diocese's full statement here.
Tervaportti acknowledged that "there are some very special exceptions" to the rule of only Catholics receiving communion, "but nonetheless to receive the Eucharist one must accept the Catholic doctrine regarding it and to be eligible to receive this holy sacrament (for example, living in a relationship other than a true Christian sacramental marriage is an obstacle)."
Lutherans are among those groups not regarded as holding the Catholic faith on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and therefore ineligible to receive Holy Communion.
As LifeSiteNews reported on Thursday, Bishop Salmi recently told the Finnish news agency Kotimaa 24 that he had received Holy Communion in St. Peter's Basilica on January 15, while he was present as the head of a delegation that included a Lutheran choir that was to perform there. Salmi said that he had also been received by the pope during the visit.
Salmi told Kotimaa 24 that the choir had been permitted to perform during the mass at the basilica, and that everyone was aware that Lutherans were present. Despite this fact and the fact that the Lutheran attendees placed their hands on their left shoulders in a sign that they were not to receive communion, the Catholic priests insisted on giving it to them. "I myself accepted it," he said.
"At the root of this there is, without a doubt, the ecumenical attitude of a new Vatican," Salmi told Kotimaa 24. "The pope was not here at the mass, but his strategic intention is to carry out a mission of love and unity. There are also theological adversaries in the Vatican, for which reason it is difficult to assess how much he can say, but he can permit practical gestures."
The pope's own words regarding communion for Lutherans have added to the confusion. Last year, when asked by a Lutheran woman about the possibility of receiving communion with her Catholic husband, Francis acknowledged that "explanations and interpretations" of communion may differ between Catholics and Lutherans, but "life is bigger than explanations and interpretations." He advised the woman to "Talk to the Lord and then go forward." Cardinal Robert Sarah, the prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship, later affirmed the Church's traditional teaching on intercommunion.
'Ecumenical mass' also incorrect, says Helsinki diocese
The Diocese of Helsinki also clarified that the claim made in the Kotimaa article of an "ecumenical mass" celebrated by both Lutherans and Catholics in the Vatican on January 18 is also incorrect.
"The article also mentioned that during the ecumenical visit to Rome, the Bishops of Helsinki Teemu Sippo SCJ, (Orthodox Bishop) Ambrosius and (Lutheran Bishop) Irja Askola had 'celebrated' an 'ecumenical mass' together for the feast day of St. Henry (of Uppsala)," wrote Tervaportti. "This is not so. Every other year there is a Catholic mass in which representatives of other churches participate in ecumenical spirit—for example, by preaching. In every other year it is a Lutheran Lord's Supper, where either a Catholic bishop or priest will preach. The service therefore always follows that church's own tradition and practice. It is notable that even in these masses the painful fact that there is no communion between the churches is mutually respected."
Canon 844 of the Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law only permits the Eucharist to be given to Catholics in the state of grace (that is, not in a state of grave sin), except in cases of non-Catholics who request communion and who are from churches that are approved by the Holy See as holding the same faith as Catholics regarding communion. Lutherans have traditionally been seen as not holding to the same faith as Catholics on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Squeaky Bean Team Helps High-School Kids Cook for Astronauts
Squeaky Bean co-owner Josh Olsen oversees seedlings in one of the greenhouses at WarrenTech High School.
Mark Antonation
The Squeaky Bean has always been a little out there (with Saturday Bingo Brunch and celebrity cocktail shrines as evidence), but the downtown farm-centered restaurant could soon be taking its creativity to new heights. Partner and chief bean farmer Josh Olsen is working with a team of high-school students to create a dish that may make its way to the International Space Station.
Olsen is mentoring a group from Lakewood's WarrenTech High School, which is competing in a culinary challenge through NASA's HUNCH ( High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware) program. The contest began with 21 teams from around the country submitting recipes that might work for flight and in microgravity, according to NASA. Now the competition has been whittled down to ten finalists, including Olsen's WarrenTech team, which is headed to the Johnson Space Center in Houston today to prepare its dishes for a panel of judges. The winning team will have its entree processed and sent to the space station.
"I heard about the challenge through my involvement with WarrenTech, managing their farm, Acres, and teaching their students," Olsen explains. "It's such an honor to be one of ten schools chosen to compete at the Johnson Space Center today, and I'm most excited at the opportunity to let people know what these fantastic students are doing at WarrenTech and Acres farm."
WarrenTech's programs include culinary classes and instruction in natural and organic farming; Olsen is involved with both at the school. Much of the produce grown at Acres makes its way to the Squeaky Bean's seasonal menu.
WarrenTech's dish, which the team will prepare at NASA's Space Food Systems Laboratory, is a mushroom-and-millet entree made with caramelized mushrooms, onions, millet, Beluga lentils, thyme and wintered-over carrots (carrots left in the ground over the winter, which intensifies the flavor and sweetness). Competitors had to meet certain dietary requirements, including keeping each serving in a range of 300 to 500 calories, with less than 30 percent of the calories coming from fat and less than 10 percent of that as saturated fat. The dish also needed to contain fewer than 300 milligrams of of sodium, fewer than eight grams of sugar and at least three grams of fiber.
The winner of the competition will be named tomorrow, so Olsen, the Squeaky Bean and this group of Colorado kids could soon be sky-high with pride. And in the process, they could add truth to the witticism about dining in space: great food but no atmosphere.
