Orthodox Women in the Healing Ministries was founded in 1992 with the mission of providing support to Orthodox Christian women who work in the medical and healing professions. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers and the like. From the inception of OWHM, the founders have defined all women as persons who "minister to others," including priest's wives, teachers, students, mothers and the like, in the group of women who would benefit from our retreat.
Our primary means of providing support to those who minister to others, is by sponsoring an annual three day retreat, which includes time for prayer, rest and reflection, opportunities for networking, and lectures given by outstanding speakers. We are grateful to have Mother Gabriella, Abbess of Holy Dormition Monastery as our spiritual director.

Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, NY is hosting a conference on the life and times of St. Tikhon, the great Russian bishop in America and later Patriarch of Moscow. I'm one of the speakers (on St. Tikhon's interactions with the other Orthodox ethnic groups in America), but the highlight will surely be Dr. Scott Kenworthy's keynote. Dr. Kenworthy has spent years researching St. Tikhon, and by now he's basically a walking encyclopedia on the saint.
If you're anywhere near Jordanville on October 9-10, and you have any interest in Orthodox history, this conference is definitely worth your time. You can find more details at http://hts.edu/news_150512_1.html, and you can view the full conference program by clicking here. And if any of our Orthodox History readers do make it to the conference, be sure to say hello to me!

The 40th International Patristic, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies (PMR) Conference themed 'The Scriptural Imagination', features Lewis Ayres,Durham University, Author of Nicaea and Its Legacy andAugustine and the Trinity; & Vittorio Montemaggi, University of Notre Dame, Co-Editor of Dante's Commedia: Theology as Poetry
Villanova University has enjoyed a national reputation through its Patristic, Medieval, and Renaissance Conference (PMR) for over thirty years. Finding its natural niche and center in philosophy and theology, but extending from there to embrace a wide variety of disciplines in the field, the PMR has established a tradition of scholarship and collegiality complementary to, rather than in competition with, the larger conferences such as Kalamazoo, the Oxford Patristics Conference, or the Medieval Academy.
The conference has met a need in the academic community for working space. According to founding director Thomas Losoncy, the conference was always intended to be a place where scholars come to roll up their sleeves, to work through new ideas, to experiment and push the envelope in their various fields.

Iconographer: Arlene Tilghman. This workshop is forIintermediate & Advanced Levels only.
What is the All Saints Icon Academy?
All Saints parish has a number of active iconographers with a reverence and desire for this ministry within the Church. The first expression of this has been the beautiful icons produced in quiet and used "for the glory, joy and adornment of Thy Holy Church."
A second fruit of this love for iconography has been the desire to see it grow. As such, the parish sponsors an annual Iconography Workshop held in Rockford, Illinois. Our master iconographer teaches both the techniques and theology of iconography in an Orthodox atmosphere. With each student completing an icon, there is a truly glorious end to the week together! The icon on this page, as well as many others throughout this website, are examples of the fruit of these annual workshops. See pictures from some of our past classes HERE.

Ioanna Christoforaki follows the trail of a Cretan icon.
Ruled by the Venetians since 1211, the island of Crete remained a possession of the Doge until 1669, when it was captured by the Ottoman Turks. By the early 15th century, its capital city, Candia (modern-day Heraklion), was brimming with icon painters, famous for their ability to paint either in a 'Greek' or 'Latin' manner, according to the demands of both their Orthodox and Catholic clientele.
What did these icons look like? And where did the painters get the models from? Following the adventures of one such icon, we shall trace the visual transformation of a purely western saint into a Byzantine one, by unraveling the various layers, meanings, and symbols hidden in an otherwise unassuming image of an Orthodox saint.
Sponsored by the Mary Jaharis Center for Byzantine Art and Culture and The Greek Institute.

"Educate the adults and you won't need church schools!"
In Christian education circles, we have spoken of the need to educate adults for years with phrases like, "Christian education doesn't end with church school," "Total Parish Education," and most notably the name of our yearly event, "The Orthodox Institute for Continuing Education in the Faith." Converts from fundamental churches are pleased to find that Orthodoxy offers a treasure chest of resources for growth in the faith, from the church mothers and fathers, to icons, to hymnography. Yet, in many churches the focus is on educating the children with perhaps only one class, taught by the priest, for adults. Read more at: http://www.antiochian.org/OI2015

LSC alum and Texas A&M midfielder, Mikaela Harvey, secures a spot on the roster for the U20 U.S. Women's National Team camp taking place in Florida later this month.
Congratulations, Mikaela!
Lonestar Soccer Club is very proud to announce that our very own Satara Murray has signed for Liverpool FC!
Well Done Satara - this is a great achievement and truly shows that hard work pays off!
Satara Murray on signing for Liverpool FC:
I am so excited for this opportunity, I feel like not many people get this opportunity and I just am so thankful for getting the chance to play professionally, but also for a club such as Liverpool. I grew as a player through LSC and then ultimately became an even better player at UNC. Receiving the coaching I did from Lonestar was amazing. I don't think a lot of youth soccer players can receive such great coaching from a club and having that chance was just amazing. Then heading to UNC, getting the chance to play for Anson is like something i couldn't ever imagine. I learned so much throughout my 4 years at UNC and I became such a different player than what I was when I came in my freshman year. Very excited to play in the next level!
From Coach Don: All the staff at Lonestar are delighted for Satara and her mum Glenda on her signing for Lverpool FC. Satara was an outstanding talent who has worked extremely hard to earn the opportunity to play collegiate soccer at UNC and now into professionally at Liverpool FC. Satara is a great ambassador for all our young female players and fingers crossed we may see her at the World Cup in the summer!
From Glenda mum:
" We dared to dream - and we dreamt in Technicolour"
One year ago, Lonestar SC player McKinzie Gaines was playing in the 2013 Academy Select Game and has since made significant strides in a blossoming soccer career. Barely a few months after capitalizing on this platform, he was called into the U-17 National Team and is now tied with teammate Haji Wright for the most appearances for the team in 2014.
The United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) is the elite level of youth soccer in the United States for male soccer players. The USSDA is by invitation only for the top 72 clubs in the country and Lonestar SC is the only club in the USSDA in Austin. The league was created by the USSF to improve player development at the highest levels by increasing the number of high quality training sessions and creating more meaningful games throughout a ten month calendar.
Advancing elite players to professional contracts and USMNT opportunities is a goal of the program, though importantly, as with all our programs, the Lonestar SC USSDA program is designed to maximize collegiate opportunities through our college placement program. For more information on the USSDA contact Victor Pace
We look forward to your next feat McKinzie!
We are Lonestar!
Read Lonestar SC's Executive Director of Coaching and Player Development for U.S. Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) and the Texas Pre-Academy League (TEPAL), Victor Pace, featured here in the latest National Premier League article
"The NPL's Texas Pre-Academy League (TEPAL) is preparing top players from clubs in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio for successful careers in the U.S. Development Academy and beyond. TEPAL includes all nine U.S. Soccer Development Academy member clubs in Texas, and is the top level of competition for these players at U-13 and U-15 before they enter the Development Academy and then as they move between Development Academy age groups.
Executive Director of Coaching Victor Pace at Lonestar SC (Austin) has seen firsthand the club and player development the NPL offers. "The Texas Pre-Academy League is one of the strongest leagues, not only in the region, but in the country. The league provides us great competition each weekend to test and develop our players, so that they may continue on the path to the Development Academy," Pace said. "The league schedule mirrors the DA schedules, which gives our staff the ability to watch and coach games consistently."
Lonestar strongly believes in the league's developmental focus, and the entire club embraces the long-term athletic development model viewpoint. "'Winning through development' is printed on every training shirt throughout our entire club," Pace added. "Our philosophy is to teach the technical, tactical, physical and physiological parts of the game, while instilling a winning mentality. Our goal every year is to develop top players with our core values that may go on and be successful at whatever they choose to do.""

The PDP held at Town & Country this past weekend, was hosted by the NPL's Texas Pre-Academy League, included 29 players from all nine clubs within the league and from our own Lonestar SC!
Participating players in the PDP in Austin were invited to attend based on scouting over the past several months and recommendations submitted from in-region scouts and directors. Players were led through dynamic warm-up sessions, technical passing exercises, possession drills and small-sided games by coaches Phil Duhon, Robert Lopez and Alex Para.

Our U23 ECNL girls are third in the nation, winning 5-4 in PKs to secure the honors in RIchmond earlier this month.
Congratulations girls for a great finish to the season!
The U23 ECNL team played FC Dallas Saturday night in Dallas to 1-1 draw. We then played the 2nd leg in Austin Sunday night; the way the conference worked out the team who won on Sunday would advance to the National Championships. The game was great end to end. Both teams hit the crossbar and posts and it looked like it was going to go to overtime. In the 82nd minute FC Dallas hit a great shot to go up 1-0. Lonestar threw everything at FC Dallas trying to tie the game. In the 90th minute Sophia Mundy tied the game up on a goal mouth scramble. With the emotion of the game Lonestar went for it pressing and winning the kickoff. The ball was sent into Jamie French who looped it over the FC Dallas GK to win the game 2-1 in the 92nd minute!
Tremendous work ladies!
The 96G Red battles in Brenham on Monday night to earn a 2-0 win, falling one goal short of advancing to regionals. They beat Challenge Kingwood to end up tied for 1st place in state—with….12 players!
They were amazing as Rob Ferguson will attest.
Great job ladies! We are so proud of you and all your your hard work!
The ECNL 96s qualified for the U18 ECNL National Championships this past weekend with a 5-3 win over Albion.
The 96s have qualified for the ECNL National Championships 4 straight years at U15,16,17,18! The team won the National Championship in 2011. The National Championships take place June 24-29th in Seattle Washington. "I know this is the team's fourth appearance at the National Championships but this one is special to me, says ECNL DoC JD Cochran. We have played every game with injured players, down a man or with players helping the team from other rosters. Every player has played out of position to make this happen. I am so proud of this group for pulling through and sticking together to achieve another chance at winning a National Championship. We are into the the sweet sixteen now 5 games away from winning it all. Congrats to the Club, Parents and Players for this years achievement."
Congratulations to our 00G White South team who won the State Cup this weekend for the second year in a row.
The team advance to Regionals in Alabama in June!
Good luck girls!
Good Luck at Regionals Ladies!
On Saturday May 10th the U23 Lonestar ECNL team traveled to Carl Lewis Stadium in Houston, TX to play the WPSL Professional Team Houston Aces.
The game was in a great environment. The players had locker rooms, pre-game food, recovery food and Showers! The Aces put on a great atmosphere for the team. The game was end to end in the first half, ending 0-0. Saturday night's U23 Team was comprised of College Players from Baylor, Texas A&M, Rice, Texas Tech, University of North Carolina and University of Texas. The players have been off for 4 weeks finishing school and wrapping things up. "Fitness was a big issue for us in the 2nd half, said ECNL DOC JD Cochran, we had 13 players and we ran out of gas.
The U23 program is about getting these players opportunities to stay fit. This was our first day of preseason and it showed. We have 21 days to get ready for FC Dallas who went to the National Championships last year. Our goal is to train and play as much as possible and go to the National Championships in Seattle June 23rd." The Aces game ended 2-0.
Thanks to the entire Houston Aces Staff and program for the event!
Congratulations LSC CCU Breeze for winning Western District Director's Cup and LSC CCU Infinity for Winning Western District South Texas Cup!
Great work!
What a great night celebrating all of your successes last night at the Red & Black Banquet!
Lonestar 96,97 and U23 ECNL teams combined to play the Houston Aces to a 0-0 draw.
Lonestar was the first team to shut out the Houston Aces and only the second team to tie them this season. "Our ladies played great today, says ECNL DOC JD Cochran. "With 3 teams combining and playing together you worry that their could be miscommunication. I was very impressed on how each player worked together. This was a great opportunity for Lonestar Players and we are very fortunate to have a relationship with Ted Brumbaugh and the Houston Aces.
The Lonestar u23 team will travel to Houston May 10th to play the Aces in a rematch at Carl Lewis Stadium in Houston TX @ 6pm.
Sunday 27th April at 5pm the Houston Aces will play Lonestar SC at St Stephens Episcopal School.

Last week, The Times' launched their 'Eureka' science magazine as an app for the iPad, a very slick editorial app with particularly nice design (take a look HERE for a peak). I did a couple of illustrations for one of the articles, based around how road car design is influenced by formula 1. However this wasn't just any newspaper article, oh no, the cars at the bottom of the page were animated driving from left to right and overtaking each other. Awesome!
Unfortunately though, I'm not lucky enough to own such a flash gadget so if any of you cool cats have seen it working yet, let me know if it's any good?
You can download the app HERE from itunes for 59p!

Ling Magazine
Here's a piece I did for Spanish airline Vueling's inflight magazine 'Ling'. The article was about the boom in spinach's popularity between the two world wars. Parents stuffed their children with the leafy vegetable, because of a recording that Popeye latched onto, that suggested Spinach had an extremely high iron content. It wasn't until 1937, however, that it turned out the iron content had been recorded with a comma in the wrong place and that there is, in fact, barely a trace...

Urban Outfitters Bookmark Project
Urban Outfitters asked me to design a repeat pattern to be used as a bookmark and a desktop wallpaper, so this is what I came up with. It depicts a quiet fishing town, blissfully unaware of it's impending attack from outer space.

YCN's 'World Cup Moments' Mural
I was asked to illustrate one of the semi final games of the World Cup as part of a 'World Cup Moments' mural exhibited downstairs at YCN's studios. Click HERE for pictures of the wall.
I was given the Spain - Germany game and my piece depicted the Spanish veteran defender, Carles Puyol, whose blinding header put Spain through to the Final. Bit of a quick turn around for this one, which is probably why Puyol looks more like Roger Daltry..

Across the Way!
Here's a picture of my corner in our 'Across the Way' exhibition at Here Gallery this month. The collection of work I produced for it followed a chivalric brotherhood of five knights called 'The Order of Succor'. Each piece on the right-hand wall depicts why the five men were knighted, or 'won their spurs', and below is a painted shield with the coat of arms of each brave knight. Close-ups to follow!

'The Uninvited guest'
I was asked, along with fellow Just Us-ers, to put a piece in for a christmas exhibition at the LCB Surf Store in London this December. The theme is 'In Sequence' so I went for the most obvious outcome of a comic strip :) I quite enjoyed doing this really, nice not having to rely on the ol' computer for once.

LUCHA Pop-Up!
Pop-Up Adventures
A spread from a pop-up book I made following a small boy's daily walk with his dog. No sooner have they set out, when the boy's imagination takes them over and allows them to visit distant lands. As the book progresses the magical dog turns into different animals taking the boy through dramatic landscapes, only to return home safely at the end of it all. See all four pop-ups at on my Flickr page.

Thread: clone one iphone to another
08-01-2010, 08:28 PM #1clone one iphone to another
Hello everyone,
I have an original iPhone that I've spent probably way too much time working on (getting apps, hacks, and what not).
I also just got an iPhone 3g. Is there any way I can clone my old iPhone and make my 3g identical to it? like an image, or something of the sort.
I REALLY don't want to spend countless hours getting the same hacks and apps on my new phone.
Would SSHing and literally copy-pasting the iPhones files to the iPhone 3g work?
I want everything the same. Firmware, settings, contacts, EVERYTHING. How can I do this?
(I am on tmobile, so I don't care about any 3g problems)
i think there is a way to make a custom firmware - search it on google. there would be all your apps and other things. and for your contacts and settings you can just sync.
hope it helps
Ok, for your jailbroken apps I suggest getting something like app backup or pkgbackup, or if you have rock just back it up under your acc. Then for the regular apps and settings etc, make a backup on your iTunes, it probably has one right now. So once it backs up, plug in your iPhone 3g, right click on the name on the left side (where theres the drop arrow showing playlist under your iPhones name) and click restore from backup, and it shows the iPhone 2g backup and restore. Then just jailbreak it and redownload appbackup or pkgbackup and run it and you should get the original jailbreak apps back, and your iPhone should be under the same settings as your iPhone 2g. I'm not 100% sure this will work, but it is what I did when I switched my phone from a 3g to a 3gs then to a iPhone 4. Good Luck!

Santa & Cole
Since 1985, when Javier Nieto Santa, Gabriel Ordeig Cole and Nina Masa founded Santa & Cole, the sole purpose of the company has been industrial design, an art consisting of seeking the best of each object in order to offer a more pleasant experience in everyday life. Hence, Santa & Cole edit elements of domestic and urban furniture and lighting in a range that is only apparently disperse, converging upon a single concern: not to accumulate, but rather to select; not to enjoy quantity, but rather quality.
Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá have been, since the 1960s, one of the most productive teams in Spanish design and architecture. Both born in 1924, Correa and Alfonso Milá were schoolmates, went to the same university, and finally received their doctorates from the University of Barcelona. They set up their architecture studio in 1953, thus enhancing a professional relationship and a strong friendship that has made their names inseparable.
Correa and Alfonso Milá have devoted their career to architecture, interior design and industrial design, as well as to teaching. They have spread worldwide Spanish creation and promoted it in the international architecture debate. Their work is an interpretation of the architectural inheritance of the great Catalan masters, and has ended up being a capital influence in the recent history of Catalan architecture. In recognition of their work, they have received many FAD awards.
View other products by Federico Correa and Alfonso MilaBorn in Barcelona in 1931, Miguel Milá began his professional practice in 1950 in the architecture firm of his brother Alfonso Milá and Federico Correa. Eight years later, he created his own design studio and since then he has based his career in Catalan and Spanish design. He has followed Bauhaus' rationalism, though he has based the aesthetics of his objects in the simplification of shapes and elements, in search for maximum functionality.
Miguel Milá has come to be a classic figure in design. In fact, he almost represents the history of Catalan modern design. His work has focused on bringing tradition up to date and many of his products remain popular, "thanks to having been born at a time when rigor and honesty were high values", states Milá. In 1987, he was acknowledged with the Premio Nacional de Diseño and in 2008 he received the Compasso d'Oro in recognition of his career history and his contribution to the promotion of Spanish design.

Son Quotes and Sayings
The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one.
– John Dryden
From the moment they placed you in my arms, you snuggled right into my heart.
So there's this boy…he kind of stole my heart…he calls me "mom".
A son is love that lasts a lifetime.
You've been a blessing from the start, I love you son with all my heart.
Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son.
I will always need my son, no matter what age I am. My son has made me laugh, made me proud, made me cry, seen me cry, hugged me tight, seen me fail, cheered me up, kept me on my toes, and at times driven me crazy, But my son is a promise that I will have a friend forever!
My son is one of the best gift that God could bless me with. I love you son with all my heart. God bless you. Love you and miss you.
You'll be his first kiss, his first love, his first friend. You are his momma and he is your whole world.
Mothers of little boys work. From son up until son down.
Of all the animals, the boy is the most unmanageable.
– Plato
He who can be a good son will be a good father.
Son, you outgrew my lap, but never my heart.
When you teach your son, you teach your son's son.
– The Talmud
Don't wait to make your son a great man – make him a great boy.
You are my sonshine.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
– William Shakespeare
Tiger father begets tiger son.
– Chinese Proverb
A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life.
– Irish Saying
Fathers and sons are much more considerate of one another than mothers and daughters.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father.
– George Herbert
The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
– Robert Frost
We've begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.
– Gloria Steinem
What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
Every son quotes his father, in words and in deeds.
– Terri Guillemets

Staff at Taronga Western Plains Zoo's Wildlife Hospital watched in delight recently as seven Eastern Long-necked Turtle hatchlings emerged from their eggs.
The hatchlings' mother had arrived at the Wildlife Hospital in November with a badly cracked shell, after being run over by a car.
An x-ray revealed the turtle was carrying eggs. Unable to repair the shell and save the mother, hospital staff carefully retrieved the eggs and placed them into an incubator.
The eggs then sat at a regulated temperature, with staff waiting anxiously for signs of hatching. One day veterinary nurses noticed the eggs starting to hatch and before long seven healthy hatchlings had emerged.
With the hatchlings all doing well after three weeks, the decision was made to release the young turtles into a water body at Billabong Camp. The turtles now call this lovely lake home.

A lil gossip from a motocross insider that Southern California rider Tatum Sik, WMA Professional Racer and XGames Bronze Metalist is all packed up and on her way to the WMA Cup in Texas. I guess that annoucement was not too hard to guess, especially for anyone who knows Tatum, she is by far one of the most talented WMA racers coming up the Professional Ranks.
Here is the mind boggling part. Tatum who was running Kawasaki Team Green at the XGames is pretty much bikeless, she has not been able to lock down a bike sponsor for 2009 and she is on her way to win the WMA Cup on a 2006 Yamaha 250F. Im not saying the bike is vintage, but it will be a set back for her success at the WMA Cup, we all know that our equipment is key to success on the track.
If you would like to sponsor or know more about Tatum Sik and her 2009 race schedule including a repeat invite to the 2009 XGames and the WMX Outdoor Nationals please feel free to contact me [email protected]
As for the 2006 YZ250F and Tatum, Im still looking forward to the results Tatum will bring in on a refreshed clapped out bike!

Length: 10 levels; minimum level: 8.
The DemonbinderEdit
" | I am your master now fiend! | " |
—Orrick, Human Demonbinder |
Demonbinders are specialist of fiends, they know how to better fight them. Demonbinders are summoner of evil outsiders and cult masters.
Becoming a DemonbinderEdit
Alignment: | Any non-good. |
Skills: | Knowledge (Arcana) 8 Ranks, Knowledge (the Plane) 8 ranks |
Feats: | Spell Focus (Conjuration) |
Spellcasting: | The ability summon fiends through Lesser Planar Binding or Lesser Planar Ally. |
Level | Base Attack Bonus | Saving Throws | Special | Spellcasting | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fort | Ref | Will | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st | +0 | +0 | +0 | +2 | Aura of Evil, Bind Fiends | +1 level of existing spellcasting | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th | +2 | +1 | +1 | +4 | Binder Apotheosis, Eternal Binding | +1 level of existing spellcasting | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Class Skills (2 + Int modifier per level, ×4 at 1st level) |
Class FeaturesEdit
As the Demonbinder advance in level he gain more ability to control fiend, he also become more able to control them and he eventually become more fiendish himself.
Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Demonbinder, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.
Aura of Evil (Ex): The power of a demonbinder's aura of evil (see the detect evil spell) is equal to his class level plus his cleric level, if any.
Bind Fiends (Su): The most important ability of a Demon Binder. He may perform a variety of action. He may use Planar Binding once per day with a caster level equalling his total HD + his Demonbinder level (counting demonbinder twice). To bind a fiend: the fiend must be helpless, you must make a circle (30 minutes) and must perform a ceremony. The DC for the Binding is DC 10 + the fiend HD - you Demonbinder level - your wisdom modifier, having 10 or more rank in Knowledge Religion and the planes grant you a +5 synergy bonus (stack together).
- Bind a Fiend to a Item: The item become intelligent, however no magical ability are granted to the item. The item can still use any spell-like ability. This ability is used to seal fiends.
- Bind a Fiend to Himself: If the binder desire he can bind a fiend to himself, however if he do so he take a -2 Penalty to Wills saves. He may suppress this penalty if he succeed a Will saves DC 10 + Fiend CR. If he fail the check 3 times in a row he is Dominated (as the spell) by the fiend Fiend for one day. While a Demonbinder have a fiend bound to himself he receive a +2 Profane Bonus to the fiend higher attributes. He may also use any of it Spell-Like ability with the Fiend Daily limit. Doing so however drain his strength and spirit. He take one point of temporary wisdom and constitution drain each time he use one of the fiend spell-like ability. The demonbinder may bind a number of fiend to himself equalling his current demonbinder level divided by 2 (min 1).
Infernal Summoner (Ex): At 2nd level The demonbinder get +2 to caster level when attempting to summon evil outsider. Furthermore all neutral creature he summon become evil.
Resist Infernal Power (Ex): At 3rd level The demonbinder get +4 to all his saves against evil outsider spell-like ability.
Enslave Fiends (Su): The Demonbinder may now use Dominate Monster (evil outsider only) as a Supernatural ability once per day.
Binder Apotheosis: At 5th level the Demonbinder mastery of binding paid of. He is now immune to Evil outsider spell-like ability. He also gain DR 5/Good. He is now treated as a Evil Outsider, except he can be raised without any problem.
Eternal Binding: At 5th level may get a an evil outsider as a cohort, this Slave don't stack any cohort granted by the leadership feat. That fiend must be 2HD lower than the Demonbinder total character class level. The fiend slave may get advancement into class level and act like a cohort, this slave is granted level when it master gain a level. You do need to be not one step farther that the slave alignment, but ignore any penalty caused by cruelty or cohort death. The fiend need to be summoned via the Bind Fiend class feature and be dominated with the Enslave Fiend Class feature.
If the demonbinder become good, he lose all of his class features as he forsake his power, good person would never accept using such power. He regain full power if he become non-good again.
Playing a DemonbinderEdit
Combat: The Demonbinder is a summoner class, comparable to the thaumaturgist they however only affect evil outsider with most of their abilities.

2011 Q4Q Winners: AIR CARRIERS

State of Logistics 2016: Pursue mutual benefit Report: U.S. District Judge finds UPS to be liable for shipments of cigarettes Various infrastructure funding bills rolled out by House members The 2016 3PL CEO Survey: Growth, but headwinds to come California's ports may face new political pressures during "Peak Season" More News

Resilient leaders
While every freight transportation mode took a financial hit during the Great Recession, no other mode had to navigate the level of global volatility that the air cargo sector faced.
In fact, events affecting the air cargo industry over the past 12 months seem almost biblical: tornados, earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorism, wars, revolutions, volcanoes, as well as failing economies and continued sky rocketing oil prices.
As our air cargo correspondent Karen Thuermer reported in LM's State of Logistics Report last month, the world's air cargo carriers should be applauded for the work they've done to maintain a high level of service during these trying times.
And while the air sector certainly did gain some financial altitude over the course of 2010, they're still looking for a patch of smooth air in 2011. According to analyst and association reports, despite the fact that air freight revenues rose 11.2 percent in 2010, the sector hit the wall by the end of the year. Most of that growth was in the first half 2010, but by mid-year it retracted as retailers, facing disappointing sales projections, turned largely to moving shipments by ocean.
Recent reports indicate that air carriers saw business continue to dwindle during the first half of 2011 as customers, facing higher transportation costs due to rising oil prices, continued to go with cheaper options whenever possible. Outgoing International Air Transport Association (IATA) director general Giovanni Bisignani recently stated that the association expects the profit margin for 2011 to be a very disappointing 0.7 percent, with overall profits coming in at $4 billion, down a hefty 78 percent from 2010.
Any way the analysts slice it, the air cargo business has shown remarkable resilience over the past two years—and shippers have shown their appreciation.
According to the readers of Logistics Management, the 11 carriers below have weathered the storms and have landed safely as 2011 Quest for Quality winners.
First to the gate again this year is Southwest Airlines with a category-high 50.29 weighted average. To reach this lofty altitude, the carrier posted top marks in On-time performance (12.92), Value (10.98), and Customer Service (10.46). Virgin Atlantic was right on their tail this year with a 49.47 overall weighted average. Virgin tied with Singapore Airlines (47.96) for the top score in Equipment & Operations attribute category (8.50). Lufthansa, which improved its 2010 winning score by more than 10 points this year, put up top marks in the IT attribute category (8.63).
We found quite a bit of continuity in this year's list of winners. In fact, 9 of the 11 listed won Quest for Quality gold last year—and in nearly the same order. The only 2011 winners that missed the cut in 2010 are Cathay Pacific (46.58) and United Cargo (44.05).

Charitable Giving
We recognise that Bravissimo, being a national brand, local employer and socially responsible company, can make a significant difference to a range of good causes, both large and small.
Over the years we've supported a number of charities which are involved with women and their boobs – such as Breakthrough Breast Cancer and Coppafeel – and we've sent bras to Africa via the Thare Machi Education Charity. In contrast, we've also supported other charities such as World Vision, Changing Faces and The Anthony Nolan Trust. Our employees also like to get involved in supporting Red Nose Day, Children in Need and other nationwide charity days.
Following employee feedback we introduced a National Charity to provide a focus for the whole company to fundraise for - voted for by employees.
We supported our first ever national charity, Tommy's, and raised over £32,000, smashing our target of £10,000.
We supported The Eve Appeal and again raised well over £30,000 to support Eve's cause.
We supported Mind and raised nearly £18,000 to support their cause, which the company decided to top up to make a total donation of £25,000 to Mind.
Our employees have chosen Refuge as their national charity partner and we continue to support them in 2016.
Our stores, warehouse and head office will be fundraising and continue to do so in many different ways, for example with cake stalls, bake offs, dress up or dress down days, sponsored runs, hikes and skydives.
We also support Refuge through our in-store bra recycling scheme. You can recycle your old bras in whatever condition they're in by popping them in the recycling bins in-store. For every kg we receive we'll donate £0.70 to Refuge. The bras that are donated are all then recycled for good use. Those which are in a useable condition go directly to developing countries across the world. Those bras which cannot be used in their entirety are broken down into parts which are again recycled into new items. We will accept any bras in any condition - simply pop them into the recycling bins in store.
As a significant local employer we also support a range of local charities in Leamington Spa and the surrounding areas. Our employee charity committee looks out for local charity events we could support and encourages employees to nominate local causes too. Here are some of the charities we've supported:
- We've donated money to 9th Warwick Scouts to help fund a camping trip.
- We've given money to Hillclose Garden towards a wooden potting shed.
- We've given money to the Helen Ley Care Centre to help provide care and support for people with MS.
- We've donated to the Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre to help pay for counselling for victims.
- We've donated money to the Aylesford Unit at Warwick Hospital towards a new emergency room.
- We've given money to various local schools, nurseries and playgroups for play equipment and books.
- We've given money to the Riding for the Disabled Association.
- We supported Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance with a donation.
- We've given a donation to Leamington Chamber Orchestra.

The SAT Subject Tests are supplementary college admissions tests designed to measure a student's readiness to complete college-level work in Literature, U.S. History, World History, Mathematics Level 1 and Level 2, Languages, Biology E/M, Chemistry, and Physics.
SAT Subject Tests allow students to demonstrate mastery of content in subject areas in which they excel.
Questions on the Subject Tests tend to be less "tricky" and comprise one-hour multiple-choice exams without essay or short-answer questions. (The Language with Listening tests, however, feature reading and listening sections.) In general, students take these immediately after completing coursework in the subject being tested–often in May or June of the junior year.
Subject Tests are scored on the familiar 200-800 SAT scale. National average scores on the Subject Tests are generally higher than those of the SAT sections since students take only those tests for which they feel the most prepared.
Subject Tests are administered on the same dates as the regular SAT, and students may take up to three tests on a single day. Some tests are only available during particular months, however, so be sure to check the registration schedule for specifics.
Find out how we help students prepare for each subject test.

For this both the stud owner aswell as the dam owner assume responsibility.Even if the studowner is not part of the breed regulations as a breeder, still his ACD has to meet the same health requirements like the bitch. He feels the same responsibility towards the breed like the owner of a future litter. If he feels, the bitch is not the right breeding partner for his male in the sense of health, temperament or conformation, he will deny the mating.
Which possibilities has a breeder? There is the choice between inbreeding, linebreeding or outcross.Inbreeding never should be practised by beginners.It can be both a blessing or a curse for your breeding. On the one side wanted features can get stronger in the genetic of a dog, but it can also be responsible for some undesirable developent in the breed, which is passed on nearly for ever recessively.
Inbreeding does not produce defects
A widely spread wrong idea about inbreeding is, that it makes defects. Inbreeding does not develop any kind of defects but only makes obvious what is in this particular line. By doubling the genes, the item will show while an individual gene is hiding it. Only if you make permanent inbreeding over a longer time, the puppies might loose their vitality.
Dangerous way of breeding
The quickest way to find out what the future breeding animals bear in their genetic, is an incest mating, f.ex. father to daughter or mother to son mating.As far as I know the ACD Clubs or Kennel Clubs forbids this method. Breeders from anglosaxian countries aswell as others therefore practise successfully linebreeding. It is a bit longer way to bring faults to light, but a possibility which is practised by many successful and experienced breeders.
The aspects in detail Breeding partners with several common ancestors: The breeder collected all available health information, also those which do not belong (so far) to the breeding order. We take as an example the spondylosis, a very painful illness of the spine. There is no doubt, that it is inherited. Only the exact inheritance ist not known yet.Here the breeder has to rely on what he noticed by himself on shows or other occasions or what he heard from experienced breeders/owners. The same is to think twice about the elbow dysplasie, which requires careful attention. Every single step means a controlled dropping on the front, which might be very painful if the dog has a severe ED and will lead to a change for the worse.A hip displasia, called HD, might be caused by different reasons. First the disposition, but one reason is the too little worming of puppies with the attack of growing worms,too rich puppy food, overweight or climbing stairs up and down several times per day.
Looking for a suitable and healthy mating partner, means studying his pedigree, if his bad hip results are either an individual event or is it going through all generations. That is a good reason to forget a mating with this stud. Every breeder must have a comprehensive knowledge of both partnes of his planned litter. To this belongs also deafness (BAER test), also of siblings/other relatives/cryptorchism, NCL (Neural Ceroid Lipofuscinosis), PRA, Cataract (HC) status and more seldom eye illnesses. A careful breeder lets his brood bitch or stud not only vet investigated for the presribed health test but also takes all other aspects into his consideration.Regarding the health of the future puppies there are no concessions possible!
Never want too much at once
If these investigations meet your expectations, you look for conformity in type and size. Basically it means, that you never look for the contrary. A too low bitch, who is mated by a too big male, will have some big offspring and some too small ones and perhaps one ot two pups of a middle size.If the famili type can be recognized, you can start to look for improvement of smaller faults. Never try to eliminate more than one or two faults at the same time. It does not work. One by one is the device.
Let's think, you want to achieve a longer upperarm with far behind reaching shoulderblade in your line and not always find random specimen in the whelping box.You look for a stud with a well strengthened upper arm angulation and who has proven his inheritance power in thiss respect.It is selfunderstood that he is correct in all other aspects.When the litter is born you look for the best front angulationed puppy and when that girl or boy is adult go back to a stud or dam from your own line.You see good results in breeding need patience and time.The chance to improve your offspring lies in the common ancestors.By this mating the genes for this disposition are doubled. Remember, at the same time also unwanted items are doubled, which have to be bred out.
Carefulness and the ability to self criticism are needed when you decide for a mating partner.
If the litter of two far related ancestors (f.ex. grandsire to granddaughter) meets your expectations. it is recommendable to go back in the next generation to your own line.Thus the wanted characteristic will be anchored in your line.You choose again a far distance relativ from either father- or mother line.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
GREENVILLE – Disgraced coaching legend Dwight G. Bowling slumped against the lectern Tuesday when he heard the judge say "300 months" in prison.
Bowling, 56, of Smithville faces the next 25 years in federal custody for his guilty pleas to taking minor males into Alabama for sex and for trying to convince a witness to lie about their longtime sexual relationship.
"I was surprised by the verdict," said his attorney, Christi R. McCoy of Oxford.
She said it's "so rare" to see a federal judge – in this case, U.S. District Judge W. Allen Pepper – sentence a defendant to more than recommendations developed by the U.S. Probation Service. Those guidelines include the person's background, good and bad, whether they've ever been convicted of another crime and if they've taken responsibility for this crime.
In this case, the recommendation was 168 months.
Immediately after the sentencing, Bowling was led away by U.S. marshals into the adjacent hallway to speak with McCoy.
Shouting could be heard as relatives of a Bowling victim taunted him about the strong sentence.
Where Bowling will serve his time will be up to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. He did not make any site request, although the BOP doesn't necessarily meet such a preference.
He still faces sentences from guilty pleas to fondling and sexual battery of minor males in Monroe and Itawamba counties. Similar charges in Alabama are possible.
Dressed in bright yellow Monroe County Jail garb, the former high school football championship coach looked like he'd gained weight since his April 27 guilty pleas. He was handcuffed and leg-shackled in the downtown Greenville courtroom.
He wept throughout a statement he read to Pepper before he was sentenced.
"Your honor, I've given my life's work to coaching, 32 years," he said. "God has blessed me beyond measure. I realize that good has been destroyed because of my sin. I've let so many people down. God has given me family that I treasure more than gold on earth, but I've caused them immeasurable harm because of my sin.
"He's given me friends, I always cherished. They've turned away because of my sins. I have memories that no man can take away, but they, too, are tarnished because of my sin."
Bowling likely to spend life in prison
By Patsy R. Brumfield
NEMS Daily Journal
GREENVILLE – Dwight Bowling will spend at least as much time behind bars as he did coaching athletics at Smithville and at Sulligent, Ala.
His sentence of 300 months, pronounced Tuesday in U.S. District Court, could well be a life sentence for the 56-year-old cancer survivor.
Bowling will be about 79 when he's released.
In the federal system, a prisoner gets credit for one month of every year served. That takes 25 months off his 300 months, which equates to nearly 23 years.
After that, District Attorney John Young of Corinth wants more jail time for Bowling on his guilty pleas to molesting minor males in Monroe and Itawamba counties.
And after that, Bowling may face more charges from Alabama, where he reportedly took an unknown number of youths for sex while he was head football coach at Sulligent High School.
District Attorney Chris McCool of Lamar County, Ala., could not be reached Tuesday for answers about whether a grand jury will examine allegations against Bowling there.
Before Judge W. Allen Pepper sentenced him, Bowling told Pepper that God had forgiven him for what he'd done.
"I admitted guilt before and I'm like David, who sinned with Bathsheba – my sins are always before me," he told the judge. "I've prayed continuously that those I've wronged will forgive me. I ask today publicly that they forgive me. I've asked God to forgive me and I know he has. He forgives and forgets. He's removed my sins. I know and pray that one day those I have wronged will forgive me, but they may not be able to forget."
Pepper agreed with the harm Bowling had done to the young men across the years, citing multiple Bible verses of warnings to people who do harm to children.
And he likened what Bowling had done to the worldwide sex scandal of some Catholic priests, who were discovered to have molested children.
"It's the fact that by virtue of your position, of respect and trust, that when that is violated, the impact on young people is long lasting and devastating," Pepper told him. "It might be passed on generation to generation. This is about as enduring, painful a trauma as a young person can have. I'm sure you understand that."
Bowling went weak in the knees when he heard Pepper pronounce his sentence, and he saved himself from physical collapse by catching hold of a lecturn in front of him and his attorney, Christi R. McCoy of Oxford.
After the 45-minute hearing in Greenville, McCoy said it's possible that Bowling will appeal the severity of the sentence.
About two dozen people sat in the courtroom audience. Bowling's two sons and a few other friends and family were present. Law enforcement officials from Alabama and Monroe County also were there, along with what appeared to be a family of five with a young man.
In a lengthy, tear-soaked statement to Pepper, Bowling said he felt so helpless when he learned that his beloved Smithville was devastated by a tornado on the same day he pleaded guilty to the sex scandal.
He recounted his humble upbringing three miles from Smithville and that he spurned an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy so that he could be a coach and teacher.
He wept as he told Pepper about his "painful divorce" and then a remarriage in 2002.
He told Pepper about his coaching career, his state championships, his all-star trips with teams to Australia and Hawaii, the book he wrote about football and his helping financially disadvantaged players.
McCoy told Pepper the Bowling case is perhaps her most difficult as a criminal defense attorney.
She said Bowling has two sides – the one the public knew, and the dark side that committed these crimes.
She said that when Bowling confessed this dark side in April, she saw his burden lifted.
"This was simply the sinful side of a man who couldn't fight against it," she told the judge. "I believe he is sorry for what he did. I would ask for the court's mercy – to stay within the guidelines. I believe they are sufficient."
But Pepper did not believe they were sufficient, visibly much to the surprise of Susan Bradley, the federal prosecutor.
Bradley asked him to sentence Bowling at the upper end of the guidelines.
"One of the most respected titles I know is that of coach," Pepper said to Bowling. "Believe it or not, there are people still around who coached me in high school. I still refer to them as coach.
"I hope that as time goes by the harm that's been done to these young men, the families, the community of Smithville and the institution of coaching – just the respect that high school students have for persons in authority might be restored."

The unexpected hit of my cocktail party. We made 4 different types of champagne cocktails, and this was the hands-down favorite, even with those who never ever ever drink gin. Everyone in attendance judged it "delicious"; a unique combination of flavors that really work together. And adding the twist is very important to the flavor.
Very nice change from the usual gin drinks - and extremely smooth...be careful!
Drank these in college, I consider these to be a more "refined" version. ;) The gin and the cham, are infinitely better, as is the glass. A nice light cocktail. I use a sweeter cham to keep it light.
I like it with peach schnappes
I find it humorous that the terms "sophisticated" and "dignified" were used to describe this delicious cocktail. Reason being? After drinking four of these I was NEITHER! But, damn, did we have a great New Years Day party thanks to French 75's!
I was curious when I read worldbeat's note. Every French 75 I've ever had was made with either simple syrup or sugar. But I remembered having a delicious cocktail with Triple Sec, so I did some searching. -- Though it is impossible to be accurate when it comes to cocktails, a drink with the name of "Flying" is the same as a French 75, but with Triple Sec and a dash of powdered sugar instead of the simple syrup. So it might just be in the name.
Actually, this is the first time I've seen this recipe using simple syrup. Triple Sec is the traditional sweetening agent. It gives it much more depth and complexity. Try it and you'll see. It's like drinking liquid gold!
I would absolutely make this again. My guests raved about it. It's refreshing and elegant. I loved it!
Big hit. Made on two occasions for pre-theatre cocktail parties. Very festive and a nice change of pace. Everyone raved and asked for the recipe.
We have served this a fabulous cocktail since it first appeared in Bon Apetit!

Inspired by DH and Enduro riding the Endur-O-Matic was designed to give the rider more coverage than a typical trail riding helmet while still being light weight and having the airflow of an xc helmet. Combined, this makes a great all around helmet suitable for anything from commuting to aggressive trail riding.
8 vents are positioned to create a Venturi effect and air flow is regulated by internal channels. The weight of the visor is close to 0 gram and its material is flexible, which helps prevent injuries in the event of a crash. Comfort is guaranteed by soft, removable, and washable pads. The frontal pad features a very simple and unique innovation: the «Gangsta pad». Passing just under the shell and being in contact with the air while riding, this part of the pad remains dry and absorbs sweat.
In short, the Endur-o-matic is the new standard and is unique in several ways. This is the helmet you SHOULD ride with. With its smart shape, the only thing you still have to do is create the style that goes with it!
This helmet conforms to, or exceeds EU Standards only.

I don't know why compare Suzaku's rampage with LL's massacre,those women Suzaku was willing and probably killed some was soldiers with guns and KM,those women LL killed was unarmed and was running or begging for their lives,plus Suzaku in his darkest mood still didn't shoot at Ashford-a school with innocent civilians-I'm not sure about LL though

a cult that had already sent two assasins after him and were actively condacting expirements on children turning them in to weapons (rolo is one such) no matter how unarmed they were (considering the zigfried being there they could have had other weapons) you cant really say they were civilians

I don't want to argue about LL's "campaign" against the geass cult anymore, if LL deem it was worth destroying so be it,if he wants to use it for his own gain I doubt anyone here would say he made a stupid decision to let them live..
I just want to point out that Suzaku is nowhere near ruthless as LL even in his darkest mood. |

Does the BK know about V.V.? No. Do they think of him as a commander? Do they know his position or title? No. Is he a well known commander? No. Does the BK know about the two assassins? No. I agree, they may not be civilians, but does the BK believe that? No. While, I'm arguing with people that do not watch the same Code Geass anime as me. They have a different version of Code Geass where everything happens according to their imagination. |

BKs are not made up of all soldiers. Some of them are civilians who joined the BKs like Kallen. Not all of them are trained to not ask questions and just follow orders. They will question their leader's actions, much like the USA, the public questions the actions of the President.

well like Heinlein said in starship troopers
its not the soldiers choice werether to fight or not you leave that to those above who are smarter and who know more then you a soldiers job is to fight beliveing that those above send him to fight for the right reasons and for the record a secret underground base is a secret underground base i would call that a stronghold and a zigfried attack is a zigfried attack i would call that resistance Quote:
suzaku was always the one fighting for whats right and against wrongdoers (in his eyes) the one who belived that the ends must be gaind using the right means and not the wrong ones and thus his actions this ep (as well as earlier in the season when he tried to use nanali as a weapon against lulu) show him completely forsakeing his ideals in order to achive results the fact that he is driven by his hate for lulu alone and not based on evidence (all the evidence say lulu is innocent (as in not guilty)doesnt help its not about whos more ruthless (cant make an omlet without killing some people)

Suzaku is a self hating person who wants to be a britania and is pro status quo and thinks he can change things on the inside. People like that don't change things on the inside because they conform to what the inside is and forget about things and get caught up in unimportant issues.

At least 10 civilians have been killed in a NATO airstrike on a ute carrying women and children in eastern Afghanistan, Afghan provincial officials say.
ISAF said 10 enemy forces had been killed in a precision strike in the Wattapur district of Kunar province on Saturday, but they had received no reports of any civilian casualties.
Kunar Police Chief Abdul Habib Sayedkhil said the airstrike hit a ute carrying the women and children as well as four armed insurgents.
"At least four women, four children and two civilian drivers were killed in a NATO airstrike in Wattapur district of Kunar province," he said.
Kunar Provincial Governor Shujaul Mulk Jalala said 12 civilians – four women, four children and four men – were killed, along with four insurgents.
Civilian casualties in NATO operations have long been a source of tension between the Afghan government and US-led NATO troops, who are winding down operations as they prepare to withdraw by the end of next year.
President Hamid Karzai has banned his forces requesting NATO strikes during operations in residential areas.
ISAF said it was aware of the allegations and was looking into the incident.
"We can confirm Coalition Forces conducted a precision strike yesterday . . . resulting in 10 enemy forces killed," it said in a statement.
"At this time, we have no reports of any civilian casualties in regards to this incident."
