BRAINERD DISPATCH The U.S. health care system is broken and the Affordable Health Care Act (ACA- Obamacare) does little to fix it. It was a significant political victory but only a small health care victory.

The dominant employer-based hea... Read More

No Labels' Problem Solvers Grows to 42 Republicans & Democrats as Members Don "Stop Fighting, Start Fixing" Pins at State of the Union
After Last Year's Push to Get Members to Sit Together at State of the Union, Problem Solvers Say Now It's Time to Work Together
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Forty congressional Democrats and Republicans are preparing to proudly tout their membership in No Labels' "problem solvers" group by wearing the group's "Stop Fighting, Start Fixing" lapel pin at President Obama's State of the Union address. The gesture marks a significant step toward more substantive cooperation in Congress one year after No Labels led the charge to convince more than 200 members to sit with members of the other party at the SOTU.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130208/DC55984LOGO)
The problem solvers comprise a group of congressional Democrats and Republicans who have agreed to meet regularly to build trust across the aisle. First announced at No Labels' Meeting to Make America Work! on January 14, the problem solvers have already held their first meeting and have managed to recruit a dozen additional colleagues. The group will be working to convince more colleagues to "get pinned" in the days before the State of the Union and aims to have 70 or more members by year-end.
"Wearing this pin is a statement that we've got to do a lot more than sit together. We've got to work together," said No Labels Honorary Co-Chair Sen. Joe Manchin. "The 'problem solvers' is quite literally the only forum in DC where Democrats and Republicans can sit across from one another to discuss issues and forge solutions. I'm wearing this pin to the State of the Union because I think the 'problem solvers' can play a big role in breaking the gridlock in this town and because I want more of my colleagues to join."
"Members from opposing parties increasingly don't know or talk with one another," added No Labels Honorary Co-Chair Gov. Jon Huntsman. "Schedules are packed when in DC and at home, leaving precious little time to build relationships across the aisle. The 'problem solvers' provides a crucial opportunity to open up the lines of communication."
"I look forward to joining my colleagues in wearing the 'Stop Fighting, Start Fixing' pin at the State of the Union address. We all agree that Washington is broken and that America's future is threatened by hyper-partisanship and gridlock. These pins are a sign that we don't have to abandon our principles. We just have to commit to problem solving and getting something done," said Sen. Dean Heller.
"There is no ideological litmus test to join this group," said No Labels Co-Founder Bill Galston. "We welcome everyone – left, right and everything in between – so long as they are willing to collaborate with one another to seek shared success for America. This new attitude is what No Labels is all about, and we are excited to see so many members publicly embrace it at this year's State of the Union."
No Labels is working aggressively with the current crop of 'problem solvers' to actively recruit new members to the group and today sent invitation letters to all members of Congress. Click here to see the letter.

Charles Gratton Trumbo was my great-grandfather, his obituary appeared in The Daily News-Records, Harrisonburg, Virginia, on Monday, April 3, 1939:
" C.G. Trumbo of Broadway Dies
Foundry Operator and Farmer To Be Buried Today."
Charles G. Trumbo, operator of the Broadway Foundry and well known farmer of the Timberville section, died at Rockingham Memorial Hospital Saturday morning at eleven o'clock following a brief illness from pneumonia.
Mr. Trumbo was enjoying his usual health when stricken with pneumonia a week ago.
He had resided on his farm four miles northwest of Timberville until a year ago when he operated the Broadway Foundry and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. T.C. Hulvey. He was a graduate of the University of Richmond and was a skilled mechanic and educated man.
Mr. Trumbo is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Hulvey, Mrs. George Lindamood, of near Timberville and Mrs. H.T. Whetzel, Broadway and two sons, Leonard and Neville Trumbo.
Funeral services will be held from the Hulvey home Monday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Ira Campbell and Rev. McNeer officiating. Burial will be in Linville Creek Cemetery. The pallbearers will be J.M. Clines, J.T. Helbert, Wade Wean, Harper Andes, Herman Hollar and A.W. Whitmore."

The Horse Forum
- Horse Artwork
- - Critique my drawing!
Critique my drawing! 1 Attachment(s) What do you think? How are the proportions, shading, lines etc. and the facial features? I feel like the ear and nostril might be a bit small. Also, how is the overall 'action' of the drawing? Thanks in advance? |
Not sure why it's sideways haha. Hang on :) |
The ears are too small, put more shadding in the horse mane that's above the head. Posted via Mobile Device |
1 Attachment(s) Here goes... |
But overall not bad at all. Keep up the gpod work! :) Posted via Mobile Device |
Soften the line above on the horses neck and that harder patch on its chest. Maybe add a little shadding in the curve between the neck and the head but not to dark. Posted via Mobile Device |
It's coming along well, but I agree that the ears are too small, and not defined enough. I couldn't tell that was an ear to be honest. And it needs moving down a touch. Define the eye a little more too. I have always found that the eye makes the drawing come alive. Don't be afraid to make your shading darker. That goes for everywhere aswell - even if it's a grey horse you can still shade darker. |
Very nice! I like the lines around the throat latch and the over all feeling of the drawing. Try adding a little more shading around the dark parts that you have(behind the ear and around the nose). Think of where the light source/s are and how it would affect the shadows. Define the hair on the crest with bolder lines and maybe flip a tiny piece of mane over onto this side of his neck so that it doesn't look like it was shaved off :) |
Great work!! I really like this and I think you're on a good track with your art. How long have you been drawing? I agree with the above that the ears could be a little bigger, but by bringing some bolder shading in the appearance of the ears will improve without changing the size. My biggest criticism is the lack of depth. The drawing itself is beautiful, but the scary bit is always adding deeper shadows and highlights. As a professional artist, this still scares me because if you go one step too far the drawing can be ruined. I work primarily in pastels, so have a little more leeway than in graphite, but always feel the same way when doing my graphite and charcoal work. Have a look at this piece I did a few years ago: Razz - Horse & Hound Artistry Notice the depth of shading? Where there are dark shadows, ADD THEM. Where there are highlights, leave them white. Then add the detail in between. Even in my pastel work, I first add the deep shadows, and the highlights, before starting anything else. It makes the drawing come so much more alive and start to pop out of the page. With graphite, adding shadows are not about pressing harder with a pencil. I like to use an 8B for my darker areas, and just layer it until it is at the depth I am happy with. That way you don't risk putting down one layer hard, that is too dark and you can't get rid of it. See if you can rework yours with some shadow, and put the photo up here when you've finished :) |
Thanks guys! I will try out all of your suggestions when I find the time :-) Kayty - I've been drawing on and off for about a year or two. And yes, one of my biggest challenges is shading! I'm always nervous about making it too dark. For the darker areas I think I used a 2B and that's the softest I currently own. But I'll definitely try the layering technique as oppose to trying to get it the right darkness all at once. |

100th Precinct Community Corner
The 100th Precinct Community Council Meeting was held on Wednesday, November 20th at the Knights of Columbus.
Once again the meeting was well attended. Joining us were representatives from our local elected officials along with Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder who spoke of the importance and need for our community to work together for the benefit of all.
Danny Ruscillo, council president, was pleased to announce the afterschool "Chess Program" at PS/MS 47 and PS/MS 114 and they will be having a Christmas party and all the children will be receiving "Chess Club" t-shirts. Lenny from Rockaway Graphics will be providing shirts at a terrific price for the council, and Condor Pest Control (Alan Camhi, owner) is sponsoring the shirts.
Thanks also went to The American Legion Post 272 for their annual donation to the council.

More Information
Fixed issues that relate to Certificate Management
The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package:Issue 1
The requests that are submitted by the Online Update Service cannot update the target attribute in Active Directory in Certificate Management of FIM 2010.
Fixed feature and issues that relate to Credential Management
The following feature and issues are fixed in this hotfix package:Feature
Feature 1The Password Reset registration wizard does not let organizations provide a link to their data policy. This hotfix adds a fix to provide a feature by which you can insert a link to an organization's data policy and display that link in the Password Reset registration wizard. To enable this feature, you must set the PrivacyLink (REG_SZ) registry value after you apply this hotfix. This fix is available in the Identity Manager 2010 Group Policy Templates. To obtain the Group Policy templates, visit the following Microsoft Download Center website:
Issue 1This hotfix enables the self-service password reset registration cache feature to work correctly.
When the registration cache feature is enabled, users who are registered for password reset will have their registration checked periodically to make sure that it is up to date. Users who are not registered will continue to be prompted to register for password reset every time that they log on to Windows.
Issue 2
The type for the CacheInterval and MaxOffset registry values is set to REG_SZ in the Group Policy Templates. This hotfix corrects the type to REG_DWORD. This fix is available in the Identity Manager 2010 Group Policy Templates. To obtain the Group Policy templates, visit the following Microsoft Download Center website:
Issue 3
The password reset portal returns the following error message after an IIS Reset:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Added feature that relates to Declarative Provisioning
The following feature is added in this hotfix package:Feature 1
This hotfix enables an outgoing synchronization rule to use a flow scope that accommodates more than two resource types.
Fixed issue that relates to Common UI
The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package:Issue 1
When there are more than seven UocListViews in a single Resource Control Display Configuration (RCDC), the UocListView is rendered in the wireframe view instead of in the graphical view.
Fixed issues and features that relate to Sync Engine
The following features and issues are fixed in this hotfix package:Features
Feature 1The hotfix introduces a new registry key, MinimalObjectLogging. This lets less information be logged if an error has occurred during a run.
For more information about this registry key, visit the following Microsoft TechNet website:
Feature 2
This hotfix writes an error message to the event log when a management agent run encounters staging errors.
Feature 3
A management agent can have several partitions. For example, the management agent for Active Directory can have several partitions where every domain in a forest is a partition. When a whole partition is unselected, all previously imported objects are kept in the connector space. Then, a full import on any other partitions removes all objects that are in an unselected partition.
Issue 1In rare circumstances when the recycle bin is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2, you receive error code 0x80230309. Also, you receive the following error message on the management agent for Active Directory:
The dimage indicates an update or replace operation. But the image does not exist.
Issue 2
A WMI query for MIIS_RunHistory returns no result.
Issue 3
The Extensible Connectivity Management Agent (ECMA) has a CustomData property that is used to store the watermark for delta. When the MA encounters an export-not-reimported error, the watermark is not committed.
The hotfix commits the CustomData property even if the error occurs.
Issue 4
When the last member is staged to be exported, a multi-mastered attribute generates the error "attribute not found." This error occurs when the synchronization engine runs an import that brings in a new member instead of running an export as expected.
Issue 5
The attribute precedence does not work as expected with Declarative Provisioning and the FIM Service Management Agent.
To resolve the issue, perform one of the following operations after you apply this hotfix:
- Only run full synchronization on the Active Directory Management Agent (MA), which has higher precedence than the FIM MA.
- Only run the preview commit for the linked CS objects of the bad Metaverse objects on the MA, which has higher precedence than the FIM MA.
Issue 6
If you create a new mailbox by using the CreateMailbox method in ExchangeUtils, you may encounter an export-change-not-reimported on the nTSecurityDescriptor attribute.
This hotfix corrects the normalization of this attribute.
Issue 7
In rare cases, the synchronization engine may crash with a multi-mastered member attribute.
Issue 8
When you change an object type during scripted provisioning, you receive the following error message:
The dimage has a different anchor or primary object class from what is shown on the hologram.
Issue 9
When you run MAs in an unexpected order and remove the very last member of a group, you see the error "0x80070057 (The parameter is incorrect.)" on a multi-mastered, multivalued reference attribute, such as a member of a group.
Issue 10
In rare cases, the sync engine may crash during a delta synchronization.
Fixed issues that relate to Workflow Engine
Issue 1When you change dynamic groups in FIM 2010, it takes a long time for the changes to take effect. This hotfix improves the performance when you make these changes.

Who gives a damn about Saturday mail delivery?
36 comments:
- Fred4Pres said...
The only time I ever see my mailman is on Saturday. He waives. I waive. I go back to raking or mowing the grass.
- Hunter McDaniel said...
We Netflix subscribers will be mighty unhappy if this goes through.
- Michael H said...
What are you waiving? Is your mailbox in a dangerous location? Is the mailman prone to driving across your lawn?
- Marcia said...
The article says they wouldn't necessarily cut Saturday, but probably the lightest mail day of the year, which it says is Tuesday.
Fine with me. I'm sure the post office uses a lot of gasoline. Cutting that by about 15% seems like a good idea. - 1/28/09, 9:08 PM
- traditionalguy said...
This will mean my bills and mail order catalogues will all show up on monday. What a way to start the week. It's Bush's fault again. How's that for griping?
- PatCA said...
I like Saturday delivery, makes me feel like a person instead of a business. It's slow, civilized.
They have been trying to ditch Saturday for years. No to 5-day! - 1/28/09, 9:16 PM
- al said...
which it says is Tuesday.
Tuesday is new movie day from Netflix. I'd rather lose Saturday. Not that it matters as the Post Office will find a way to waste any money saved. - 1/28/09, 9:16 PM
- TitusPuttinOnTheRitz said...
My parents and many of the people in their cute neighborhood. My dad actually watches for the mail woman every day. He actually greets her to pick up his mail. Many of the retirees in their neighborhood pick up their mail all at that same time. I know very Leave It To Beaver.
Me, personally, I don't give a shit. - 1/28/09, 9:19 PM
- Gary said...
I know of some who would give a damn. I think you would be surprised of how much that walk to the mailbox means to many elderly folks, and I would imagine quite a few non-elderly who are separated from society by some form or another. Even a bill or "junk" mail lets them feel that they are acknowledged by an increasingly impersonal society. They will be the ones doing the private handwringing.
- paul a'barge said...
I vote for keeping Saturday and dumping Monday... kind of like barber shops.
- Curtiss said...
After I collect the mail from my box at end of the driveway, I stop off at the garbage can to toss that day's collection of useless junk mail.
I guess raising postage rates on the useless and unsolicited mail we all receive every day (and toss in the garbage) isn't a possibility at the U.S. Postal Service. - 1/28/09, 9:29 PM
- traditionalguy said...
Do we need crisis counselors to give them all grief therapy? These house-bound hermits have already lost their older TVs. Now they will have no Netflix on Saturday. Oh the horror of life! The greatest human ability is the ability to adapt to new challenges. They are human, aren't they.
- TitusPuttinOnTheRitz said...
My mailman is hot.
I would do him.
He actually looks good in his little mailman shorts. - 1/28/09, 9:31 PM
- TitusPuttinOnTheRitz said...
The UPS guy that delivers to my building is hot too.
I would do him as well.
The fedex guy is not hot though. I would not do the fedex guy. - 1/28/09, 9:33 PM
- TitusPuttinOnTheRitz said...
Sexually, I prefer blue collar types that are uneducated, make less money than me, are somewhat dumb and live in New Jersey or Queens. But are hot, hot is the most important quality.
What I do not like sexually is guys like me. White, live in the city, have a decent job and have an education. Too much competition. - 1/28/09, 9:35 PM
- TitusPuttinOnTheRitz said...
Long Island produces some hotties too. I enjoy doing Long Island Hog.
- traditionalguy said...
Titus... what does hitting on the maleman have to do with mailmen? Oh never mind. It's better than griping about what's not in the malebox.
- Laura said...
Um, those of us who receive a lot of mail and enjoy it care about Saturday delivery...there are many different types of postal customers and you might be surprised to find that many of them do care. I receive letters (real mail!), magazines, movies, and most importantly checks from my clients in the mail and would hate to see it go down to five days per week.
Not to mention that cutting back to five delivery days means it will be almost impossible to receive two Netflix movies per week. :) (No, I don't watch two per week myself, but my family of six spread the choices around...)
I wonder if this could force the USPS to give up its monopoly and let a private company handle mail? If the USPS refuses to deliver one day a week (and I bet that would be just the tip of the iceberg), I bet another company would love the business.
Best wishes,
Laura - 1/28/09, 9:49 PM
- AJ Lynch said...
If I was Obama, I would tell this postmaster to STFU. We don't need more news of layoffs!
BTW, the article quotes two studies that ending Saturday delivery would not even save enough to cover the current $6 Billion deficit.
Obama perhaps could nationalize Fedex or UPS and fold it into the Post Office:)
I solved a problem for you Mr. President. You are very welcome. - 1/28/09, 10:18 PM
- peter hoh said...
Heck, I could deal with mail coming just three times a week. And yeah, raise the rate on that junk mail.
- Beth said...
Download your Netflix! No waiting. I do it via Tivo, but you can do it on your computer, too, and you can watch on your TV via a cable.
- Steven said...
On July 1, 1885, the postage rate for a 1 oz. letter was 2 cents. Inflation-adjusted, that's $0.47 today . . . but a hundred and twenty years of improved technology should have made the mail more efficient. After all, general transportation costs have dropped (adjusted for inflation), so the hauling is cheaper. Mail sorting is much less labor-intensive with modern machines, zip codes, and the like.
On top of all that, we have only 43% of the number of deliveries a week as we did in 1885, so we should have a huge savings in the number of delivery personnel necessary per mailbox.
So, how can the post office be anything but flush with cash at $0.42/letter? - 1/29/09, 12:41 AM
- Zachary Paul Sire said...
Abolish the postal service and go back to the pony express. Seriously, when was the last time you mailed something? Me...it's been years. No more post office is good for the environment and will reduce shooting sprees, maced dogs and, most importantly, men in shorts.
- rhhardin said...
Apparently the plan where they move mail electronically - you just pick a printout up at your local post office - did not work out.
- m00se said...
This is the beginning of the slide back into the 70's. They had a good article in the Times pointing out the New Yorkers aren't worrried about the depression, they're worried about returning to how things were in the 70's, when services and infrastructure were at an absolute nadir.
What we're going to see are alot of unemployed people needing services, severely reduced state and local services (offices closed, nobody answering the phone, "where the hell is my tax refund?"), a general degeneration of infrastructure and general discontent.
I am of the age where I remember the "gummint cheese" they gave out to to the poor to save money and help the dairy farmers.
We're going to wind back up there soon if the economy doens't crawl out from under this rock. And printing all the money in the world is not going to help.
I can't wait for the hyper inflation, can you? - 1/29/09, 6:54 AM
- Pogo said...
In good times and bad, the nationalized postal service and Amtrak cannot seem to get by without repeated rescue.
I wonder what will happen when banks and health care are also nationalized; will the same thing occur, but on a much larger scale?
And who gives a damn about Saturday banking or emergency room care? - 1/29/09, 6:54 AM
- Shanna said...
So, how can the post office be anything but flush with cash at $0.42/letter?
People who work at the post office get paid ridiculously well for delivering mail. - 1/29/09, 7:22 AM

And now he will waive every Saturday. - 1/29/09, 7:28 AM

Why not cut Wednesday delivery? Saturday is the only day many people see the Mailman. Why cut out that interaction?
Businesses will scream, and people too, but everyone will adapt. Americans are good at that. - 1/29/09, 7:34 AM
- Pogo said...
but everyone will adapt
Amazing how the mail was able to be delivered in 1898, but now it's too hard. How'd that happen? - 1/29/09, 7:38 AM
- Leland said...
I check my US postal mail about once a month (because we have to have a neighborhood mail box location). Except for the holidays and occassional purchases, I get nothing via US mail but advertisements.
Not only will I not miss Saturday delivery. I wouldn't miss the USPS. - 1/29/09, 8:06 AM
- bearbee said...
I solved a problem for you Mr. President. You are very welcome.
How would you like a Mail Czar gig?
If not Saturday then cut out Monday delivery. It gives mailmen and dogs 2 consecutive days of rest. - 1/29/09, 8:37 AM
- Original Mike said...
Dump Saturday, fime. But Tuesday? Mailmen will get Sunday and Tuesday off? They're going to love that (not).
As Peter suggested; MWF would be fine. - 1/29/09, 9:26 AM

It's time to end the USPS monopoly on first class mail delivery.
I don't think it ever made sense, but it certainly doesn't now. - 1/29/09, 1:42 PM
- c5ron7 said...
Why is everyone here B****ing anyway? You ALL use Email, #1 Killer to 1st class mail, willing to bet 50% of you use Direct Deposit, #2 Killer of 1st class mail! The Post Office does NOT make money on 1st Class Mail, they make all their money on "Bulk Mail" or, if you didn't understand THAT, "JUNK MAIL"!!! We all want to make OUR lives easier, but when it comes time to figure out WHO killed the messenger, you find out it is you & I!!! As far as Outsourcing our mail, we already gave Fed-Ex & UPS all our Packages, so the Post Office don't do packages anymore either, no money there!!! Who fault is that now, we all complain about a 1 cent raise on 1st class mail, yet we will buy a 32 pack of beer @ God knows what and if that goes up a $1.00, we don't say a word! We are our own worse enemy! We put GM, Ford and MOPAR out of work and buy foreign cars that ARE inferior to our own, pay thousands more for a Prious, that ugly little cracker box that looks like IF it did do 50 MPH we could get Killed in it! If we didn't have anything to complain about, what would we do? God help us!!! ;)

To Laura; Maybe that was ME delivering YOUR MAIL!? :) I have wicked cute legs and look great (or so I've been told) from the rear! ;) Washed-up Mailman

How NAMB assists churches in evangelism
EDITOR'S NOTE: The North American Mission Board has released a series of stories on the major areas of ministry covered by NAMB's evangelism group: church revitalization, LoveLoud, networks and resources (GPS), chaplaincy, disaster relief, and collegiate. This is the first of the series which includes an overview column by Al Gilbert, vice president for evangelism.
ALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP) -- God works through His people, the Church. The Bible makes it very clear. The local church is central in God's plan to move the Gospel throughout the world. That's why the evangelism teams at the North American Mission Board (NAMB) are geared to encourage and extend the ministries of the local church.
We believe in the continuum of church -- every evangelism effort should be rooted in and flow back into the local church. NAMB's role becomes clear in the light of this conviction.
North America needs more churches. This may not be apparent in your community but it is clear when we look at the density and diversity of our cities -- especially outside the South region. In many places Southern Baptists must plant more evangelistic churches if we want to proclaim Christ and disciple new believers in every place in North America.
Many established churches need help. As we learn from the challenges of church planting in the cities, we can better serve established churches struggling with how to share Christ in a changing and diverse culture. We are committed to discovering best practices for effective ministry and sharing these approaches with Southern Baptist churches and partners.
NAMB's evangelism teams are encouraging the local church through:
Church revitalization
Research indicates that only 10-15 percent of SBC churches are healthy and multiplying. What can be said about the 85-90 percent of our churches that are plateaued, declining or at risk? There may be other factors but many of our churches have lost their spiritual health and outreach focus. That's why NAMB has placed revitalization in the evangelism group. Working with conventions and local Southern Baptist partners, we encourage struggling churches to refocus. We are also coming alongside dying churches to offer a vision of starting something new by replanting as a legacy church.
Historically, churches have built relational and evangelistic bridges through mercy ministries. Increasingly, churches across our Convention are renewing their commitment to this way of engaging their communities. Our LoveLoud team is working to identify and highlight churches effectively serving and sharing Christ. We encourage every church to engage in "ministry evangelism." New life, found in the Gospel, can bring restoration to neglected neighbors, neglected communities and neglected children. We encourage churches to join this movement of meeting significant human need while sharing Christ.
Evangelism Networks and Resources
We are actively working with our partners to provide tools and strategies for churches to use in evangelism and discipleship.
NAMB is preparing a new tool that will help pastors teach their members how to enter into Gospel conversations. We are encouraging churches in evangelism training, ethnic networks, apologetics, interfaith witnessing, the Evangelism Response Center and Crossover. For instance, our GPS: God's Plan for Sharing emphasis for 2014-15 is "Serving Across North America." We are praying that churches will discover new ministry opportunities as they engage in a Day of Service or Season of Service in their communities.
NAMB's evangelism teams are extending the local church through:
We help extend ministry into areas where local churches might not have ready access. Chaplains seek to represent Christ on U.S. military bases and in deployment situations throughout the world. Chaplains also serve in prisons, hospitals and in other institutional settings. Our chaplaincy ministry endorses chaplains and encourages them as they share Christ where most pastors and churches can't. Additionally, we are beginning to see the potential of new church plants in communities near military facilities.
Disaster relief
For decades, Southern Baptist disaster relief volunteers have responded in times of great human need with practical help and the love of Christ. NAMB serves in a coordinating role when disasters require multi-state response and maintains relationships with national government and relief entities. We seek to extend the reach of Southern Baptists who represent Christ and share the Gospel. In some cases new churches emerge as people respond to the Gospel in the midst of their heartache. We are committed to extending help, healing and hope when meeting physical needs in disaster settings.
Collegiate evangelism
Currently there are 21.7 million students on college campuses in North America. Our collegiate evangelism team is seeking to accelerate a movement to reach students with the Gospel and catalyze a discipleship movement that encourages every student to share their faith. Many college students are being mobilized for mission service as they answer the call of God. Outside the South, we are seeking to foster a church planting movement around college campuses.
The Great Commission was given to every believer and every church. It is exciting to work together with you -- encouraging and extending the ministry of the local church -- seeking to share the Good News of Christ with every person in North America.

While statehood did not come until 1820, the seeds of the movement were sown in the early days of the new republic.

Water discharged into lakes and rivers from municipal sewage treatment plants may contain significant concentrations of the genes that make bacteria antibiotic-resistant. That's the conclusion of a new study on a sewage treatment plant on Lake Superior in the Duluth, Minn., harbor that appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Timothy M. LaPara and colleagues explain that antibiotic-resistant bacteria -- a major problem in medicine today -- are abundant in the sewage that enters municipal wastewater treatment plants. Treatment is intended to kill the bacteria, and it removes many of the bacterial genes that cause antibiotic resistance. However, genes or bacteria may be released in effluent from the plant. In an effort to determine the importance of municipal sewage treatment plants as sources of antibiotic resistance genes, the scientists studied releases of those genes at the Duluth facility.
Although the Duluth facility uses some of the most advanced technology for cleaning wastewater -- so-called tertiary treatment -- the study identified it as an important source of antibiotic resistance genes. Sampling of water at 13 locations detected three genes, for instance, that make bacteria resistant to the tetracycline group of antibiotics, which are used to treat conditions ranging from acne to sexually transmitted diseases to anthrax and bubonic plague. LaPara's team says their research demonstrates that even the most high-tech sewage treatment plants may be significant sources of antibiotic resistance genes in waterways.

What to do with the once-glorious wedding garlands and bouquets after the big day? When they sadly begin to wilt, you can plunder those bouquets for the natural colorants to dye your thank- you cards! We used yarrow, marigold, and hollyhock to give these notecards a wash of delicate hues and confetti marks. –Natalie Stopka
• white notecards – look for 100% cotton or watercolor paper • masking fluid
• alum (aluminum sulfate or potassium aluminum sulfate)
• flowers, see below
• tray – enamel tray, lipped baking pan, or plastic bin • rolling pin or empty wine bottle
Many plants and flowers contain the natural dye colorants, notably those with the species name "tinctoria" following their genus name. Here are some of the many options:
Black Hollyhock Daffodil
Garland Chrysanthemum Golden Marguerite Goldenrod
Lady's Mantle
Queen Anne's Lace Russian Sage
Yellow Cosmos
Using a stencil or your best calligraphic hand, write out your message on each card using masking fluid and a paintbrush.
Fill the tray with warm water, measuring as you go. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons alum per quart of water, stirring to dissolve. Submerge the notecards in the water one at a time, making sure there are no air bubble between them. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Fill a pot with the same quantity of water and bring to a boil. Remove the cards from the alum bath, and empty the tray. Scatter a layer of flower petals, whole blossoms, and leaves in the bottom of the tray, gently crushing them between your hands as you go. Cover this with a layer of notecards, and continue layering plants and notecards until the tray is full, ending with plants. Run the rolling pin over the contents to further crush the plants, releasing their dye.
Carefully pour the pot of hot water into the tray until the cards are covered, and watch as the color blossoms! Allow the dye bath to cool, 1 hour or overnight.
Remove the notecards from the bath one at a time, gently swishing though a pot of clear water to remove any plant material (though stubborn bits will easily come off when the cards are dry). Lay the cards out on a trash bag to dry, and when they are just barely still wet stack them beneath books to dry flat. Remove the masking fluid with your finger or an eraser.
These are beautiful, I would love to receive a note on one of these cards.
Beautiful cards! What is the purpose of the alum?
Can this be done without it? -
This is such a great idea! I gave the centerpieces from my wedding toa few local friends, and dried my wedding bouquet, but I like the idea of sharing the flowers with everyone who attended your wedding in a new format!
What a NEAT idea. These are so beautiful.
These are amazing! I especially love the blue ones. I am going to so try these now! My moms friend just recently got married and needs to send out some thank you cards. She has a lot of leftover flowers so I think it will be a great idea to use them for the cards and it will match her COLOR PALETTE!
prince repeller -
These are lovely, what a great idea! My mom has a flower shop and is always looking for ways to use the flowers that don't sell, I am going to show her this! Thanks for sharing!
Wow!!! These are fabulous!!!
What masking fluid do you use? I am a calligrapher who would love to try this, and only know of rubber cement as a masking fluid. It would be too thick for my calligraphic
style. Is there a brand name for the fluid you use? Thanks. -
These are amazing, thanks! What a great idea. I had to add this to StumbleUpon right away. I guess I'll have to go and raid a flower shop, now, but it's given me something creative to do this weekend! It keeps raining here (Manchester) so not much to do outside.
@ Vicki – the alum is a mordant, which helps fix the dye. Based on what I know of wool dying, you could also use acetic acid, copper sulphate, ammonia… there's few other salts that can be used too. Different mordants bring out different colours in the dye from the same plant. Most plants have a colour in them – think of all the tannin that turns rivers brown – and it's not always what you expect. I've seen a gorgeous pumpkin-y orange from onion skins, silvery grey and mauve from the really deep red rose petals, and rich rusty red from one of the (many, many kinds of) eucalypts.
"The earth laughs with flowers." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I always dry my colorful flowers and now I know something else wonderful to do with them.
Would you please tell us what you use as a masking fluid?
Thank you, Christine
so fun! I'm going to have to think of a way to do this…
Masking fluid is a latex-based paint or ink available at craft stores, usually in the watercolor area; we used one from Dick Blick.
Alum is a naturally occurring compound that helps the paper fibers bond to the dye colorants. You can dye paper without using the mordant alum, but it makes the color brighter and longer-lasting.
Beautiful cards.
I wonder if there's a way you could transfer the colors onto fabric instead of paper? Then you could make a quilt or some other long-lasting project, to enjoy for years beyond!
Emily – I wonder if this wouldn't work with a 100% cotton fabric as well. Any man-made fabrics would not take dyes well. You would probably want to wash and dry the fabric first, both to pre-shrink and to remove the stiffeners (what makes fabric feel brand new) . Don't use fabric softener as that could prevent the dyes from taking. Then I would proceed as above. I wouldn't recommend drying in the dryer after your quilt is done, as that can speed fading. Also – since these aren't professional dyes, they may not last through as many washings as regular fabrics.
really really beautiful work.. very creative and inspiring.
These are lovely, what a great idea.
Beautiful work , it would be fun to preserve a summer garden. Great project.
These cards are really lovely. I look forward to trying this project with the flowers from my own garden.
Oh, and I was wondering if a card with an embossed message would hold up to the process. I do some stamping and it would be nice to be able to use up some of those supplies. I am unfamiliar with masking fluid. Is it readily available?
Hi, I'm having trouble finding Alum to buy in Melbourne, is there a substitute to use?

Trip Start
May 12, 2009
Trip End
May 12, 2009
Where I stayed
Reutte campground
We started off with the castles of the so-called "mad" King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Ludwig II was born in the 1820's and became king at the age of 18. He really had very little to do, ruler-wise, as his kingdom was dominated by Prussia and Austria. This left him free to do his favorite things: enjoy Wagnerian operas and build castles.
For Ludwig these activities were closely related. His castles were inspired by scenes from Wagner's operas. He invited Wagner himself to come hang out in the castles. Ludwig was really the ultimate groupie, as only a monarch can be.
So we started with Hohenswangau, the castle where Ludwig grew up. This had been a very old castle, but had been "redecorated" in 1835. From what I gathered, redecorated meant that the old castle was knocked down and new one was built. Anyway we enjoyed a tour of this castle. It was quite unique in a few ways. First of all, it was not very old, dating from 1835. It was not a real defensive fortification - it was what people thought a castle might look like, if it did not have to defend anyone against anything. It was sort of a pretend castle. This relative newness allowed it to be unique in that all of its interior furnishings and decorations were original. The furniture, the silverwear, everything was from about 150 years ago.
The king's bedroom featured a Playboy quantity of paintings of female nudes. Apparently the original king had them all painted buck-naked, but when his sons became old enough to ask embarrassing questions about the naked ladies on his bedroom walls, he had clothes painted on all of them. Then when a later king (quite a senior citizen by that time) took possession of the castle, he had all of the prudish clothes removed by another painter. Since there were no further monarch, the ladies remained naked, though in a tasteful way.
From there, we took the half-hour walk up the hill to the main course of the day: Neuswanschtein.
This is the castle that everyone recognizes, whether they know the name of it or not. It is the castle on which the Disney Corporation based Cinderella's castle. It is THE fairy tale castle.
King Ludwig II had it built back in the mid 1800's. He actually knocked down an actual medieval castle in order to build the newfangled Neuschwanschtein - because the medieval castle did not look medieval enough.
Anyway, we walked up to the castle. It was pretty dramatic and vertical rising out of the forest as we approached. It is really a very beautiful building, from a distance or up close.
Then we went on our pre-programmed tour, as we had at Hohenschwangau. These tours are like no tours we have been on. They operated with what I guess you could call German efficiency. We had to report for our tour at exactly the right time. From there our tour proceeded from room to room, our tour guide timing our entrances and exits from rooms exactly to the second with other tour groups in other languages. We learned exactly what there was to know, in the minimum amount of time, without actually feeling rushed. It was a thing of beauty to behold.
Neuschwanstein was another of those things that make it obvious why the absolute monarchs got turfed. Ludwig's subjects lived in poverty and semi-starvation, but Ludwig had a lot of time and money to amuse himself. He built castles inspired by Wagner. He had rooms (including a fake cave) decorated to match scenes from his favorite operas. The guy had no basis in reality, and I guess no reason to base himself in the real world. His little kingdom was crumbling, and the was obsessed with Tristan and Isolde.
The place took 17 years to build. It took 14 craftsmen 4 years to finish his bedroom alone. The mosaic floor in his never-used Throne Room had over 2 million pieces. The opulance was of a very high grade.
Maybe it is no wonder that his political rivals got tired of him and had him packed off to the loonie bin at age 40. He committed suicide (or did he...?) two days later.
In any event, he left us Neuschwanstein, which is more than can be said for lots of other minor monarchs of the period.
From there we walked over to Marionbruke, a brige Ludwig had built so as to view Neuschwanstein properly. It did indeed have a good view, if you could see past the swarms of tourists. I don't thing that I have seen so many tourists since the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Tourists of that conentration just drain the life out of a place. We decided to leave.
We found a campground just a few kilometres away in Austria.
Once there, Susan and I took an hour-long walk up the hill to see a very diffent kind of caste, the ruins of Ehrenburg. This is a defensive (or was it offensive?) fortification built between the 12th and 16th centuries. It has since fallen into disuse and become a ruin. During the last few years, it has been excavated and rediscovered. There is very little left of it, except for crumbling walls. This is a castle that never had any fairy tale ambitions. The king only came to visit once, and that was to hunt. It is in a poor location for a castle (below higher hills that can be used to attack it). So these factors combined to turn the place into a ruin. Susan and I had the place to ourselves. The hoards of tourists had not found their way here from Neuschwanstein. It was a beautiful place, looking out over the town of Reutte and the surrounding valley. We clambered around the crumbling battlements, thinking about the poor schmucks who had to live up in this desolate place 500 years ago.
Then we rushed down the hill in time to feed the kids supper. The kids were playing with Nintendo DS games when we returned.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Another Stocking Issue
Another Stocking Issue I need one more school of fish to complete my stock. My wife really wants either neon tetras or cardinal tetras. I always read on these forums about neons and cardinals dying and I really want something a little less common. So, I need to find a schooling fish that would work well with cherry barbs, odessa barbs and cory cats and it needs to rival the color and beauty of the neons and cardinals. |
There are not many fish to rival the colour of the Paracheirodon species (neons, cardinals, green neons). You might want to have a look through the fish profiles; there are photos with each species, so you can find ones you like. Characins and Cyprinids are the two categories you will find such fish under, and the info there indicates the numbers, compatability, and water parameter requirements for each species. The latter is important, and you haven't mentioned it. Some tetras, rasbora, etc. will manage with slightly basic water, some will not (strictly soft acidic water), but this is indicated in the profiles. |
The water is soft (4) and slightly acidic (6.8). I think I could sell her on tiger barbs. I think they would do well with the odessa's but I am not to sure about the cherry's and the cories. |
With those water parameters almost any of the peaceful characins and cyprinids wold be fine, subject to sizes, tank size and numbers in the shoal. |
I've kept and bred commercially raised Neons, Corydoras Catfish, and other usually soft/acidic water fish in water with a quite high PH (around 7.4 according to my Freshwater Master Test Kit.) As long as your fish aren't wild caught you shouldn't have an issue with them at any reasonable parameters as long as they are acclimated slowly. |
Of the fish I've got, you could consider dwarf neon rainbows or black neon tetras. Their colours are more subtle in that you don't get the big splash of bright red of the neons or cardinals, but I think they are better in your tank than they look in photos or even the shop. The rainbows look pretty ordinary and then the light hits them and you get a look at their beautiful pale blue colour and the red of the fins (for the males). There's an element of suspense involved - I've had visitors look at my fish and suddenly go "wow, look at that!" The black neons just look like they've got a white stripe in photos, but it's really a fluorescent pale blue. They've also got a flash of red in their eyes. Their colour in real life is better than the photos depict, I think. Also, it isn't just the colour of the fish that appeals. Both of these fish are really "friendly" and swim around the whole tank. I'm a bit disappointed with my rosy tetras, who like to swim at the back of the tank so I don't see them as much. My rainbows and black neons are always at the glass if I come by (want food, no doubt!) so I feel I "get my money's worth" with them. Even though they aren't vivid coloured, you might consider them anyway. |
Check out the Serpae Tetra profile. I've got 7 in my 75 gallon community and they're very pretty and active fish. I haven't seen any signs of agression or nipping by them but I have no long finned fish in this tank. |
Serpae tetra is another questionable fish, in much the same category as the Tiger Barb. In larger tanks (like a 75g) it can sometimes be OK, but sometimes a terror to everyone else. Most recommend groups of 8 or more because this has often been shown to lessen their aggressive behaviour. As noted in our profile, behaviour can vary in this fish, possibly due to its origins. It is too bad both these fish are so unpredicatble, as both are very attractive fish. When they settle in, they're fine; but just ask anyone who has had them not settle in what they can be like. |

Tea Related Ascii Art
Does anyone have any of these for tea that are copy/paste?
Lol. I haven't thought about ASCII art in ages!
I had the same reaction – I learned basic programming on computers (terminals, more properly) back in the early 70's with big yellow rolls of paper running through them…and ASCII art was cool! I googled and came up with:
Haven't tried it yet but it looks like fun!
Well, that didn't work.
I'll throw some up on my web space (where I can use html to make sure they format right) this weekend.
If you use html code, just wrap it in the preformat html tags. Can't show it here but you will need opening and closing pre tags around your text. That will format it with a fixed-width format.
I'm not going to admit why I know this since my computing skills even pre-date Adham. Ha Ha. I will admit that I did an ASCII art beer mug for a calendar in college – no easy feat with punched cards. Ended up being a best seller for our computer club.
Thank you for the compliment. I try my best! I did find another link for TeaEqualBliss.
Note though that they got around the spacing problem by just linking to a txt file. You wouldn't be able to do that with a blog.
Check out Joan Stark's work if you want a little background on this topic. Here's a link to some teacups. She even includes a teapot a little further down the page.

Comments about Bento Buddies- Pink:
I use it for my 16 month baby. I send him to daycare, his grandparent's and I bring him out to a lot of places. This is great because it separates his food and seals some parts of it very well. His daycare providers love it because it's compact, but fits a lot of food. Square shape so it fits nicely on a small shelf in a fridge. It makes it obvious what's a meal, a dessert, a snack… and has a little spot for a fork/spoon. Two of the containers are sealed and can have soup/liquid. The other two are held inside the box by the outer lid, which means that they would leak, but not spill pasta, or peas or anything around the box. It's super easy to clean, dishwasher safe. The only con, is that because it has airtight lids, it's hard to close those containers for a child. you can actually leave them off if it's not something that will leak, and solve that problem. But if they have something that will leak, you'll not be able to find anything better. We also have a goodbyn, but the daycare providers have a hard time sealing it.

Ipod Touch prices in Lebanon
I sent a mail to the Apple dealers in Lebanon on Friday asking them if the Ipod Touch is currently available in Lebanon and how much does it cost so they replied to me today saying it will be available in Lebanon this week so here are the prices from Interlink SAL:
The Touch in Lebanon is a little expensive compared to the prices in the US (300$ and 400$) so I guess buying it online and shipping it to Lebanon will be cheaper. But the warranty will not work in Lebanon if you get it from the US so I guess each person should decide if they should take the risk and ship it or pay more and buy it from Lebanon.

It seems long time friends will come together for some work and fun, of course!
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and John Abraham have been friends since ages. In fact, Dhoni even helped John grab a sports brand in 2103, which was earlier endorsed by his ex Bipasha Basu. It was also reported that post John-Bips split, Dhoni had steered clear from Bipasha and had instead chosen to stick by his long term buddy, John.
Anyway, lets not dig into the gadaa murdaas and tell you a happy news. According to a latest khabar, Dhoni, John and his Madras Cafe co-star Nargis Fakhri will soon feature in a commercial of the sports brand that all three are brand ambassadors of.
While choosing to remain anonymous, a source told a daily, "The ad will be shot this week. Its makers have been working on this campaign for several months and they have now decided to feature all three ambassadors together in the ad." The ad will be shot in Singapore and will see all three indulging in some high voltage buffoonery!

The source also added, "John and Dhoni go back a long way and Nargis is looking forward to working with both of them. Though currently busy with the promotions for her upcoming film, Main Tera Hero, she managed to take some time off and pencil in dates for the commercial.
