The benchmark results can be automatically stored to an ODBC data source or XML file for further analysis and comparisons to be made.
Python Regular Expression Builder (Pyreb) is a wxPython GUI to the re python module. It speeds the development of Python regular expressions (similar to PCRE). The GUI is simple and features three parts, a text box where the text to be analyzed is displayed, a text box where the regular expression to be applied is displayed, and a tree control where the results are displayed When one of the two textboxes change, the regex is compiled and applied. Errors in the regex are shown in a statusbar. Pyreb is somewhat similar to the Activestate RX Toolkit (part of Komodo IDE), but is a completely different project.

"Will Ye Also Go Away"
Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Sep 21, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: exhort men to come to Christ today
"Will Ye Also Go Away"
"Will Ye Also Go Away"
It is important to remember that the Greek word translated disciple means a pupil or a learner. It was often applied to the followers of Christ because they were taught by him. It does not imply, of necessity, that those to whom it was given were real Christians, but simply that they were under his teaching, and were professed learners in his school.
The ancient philosophers delivered their lectures while they walked, around a garden or some suitable enclosure. Their students followed, listened, and learned. Similarly, the pupils of Christ, followed him, some to partake of the loaves and fishes, others to listen to His words. Not all of these were Christians as we now understand the term; they were not all devoted to Christ and His cause. Some of them were to leaving because His teachings were making demands they were not prepared to grant.
Jesus has already sifted the outer circle of his disciples. In verse 67 He proceeds to sift the innermost circle. By giving them an opportunity to depart He called forth from them an expression of loyalty which would bind them more closely to him.
"WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?" - To go away from Christ is the greatest of follies.
A. It is a folly PERSONALLY
To go away from Christ is a personal folly. There is no one else. "To whom shall we go?" There is none else. Without you I am a lost sinner. Without you, I am filthy sinner. Without you I am a condemned sinner.
The truth is no one else if they knew us would claim us, cleanse us, or comfort us. To leave Jesus is to lose everything. There is no one else to go to.
"Thou hast the words of eternal life" To turn away from Christ to the dead founder of a pagan philosopher or religion is to exchange light for darkness, hope for despair, and heaven for hell. There is no one else to whom we can go.
Jesus is the only way to heaven and the only Hope of humanity!
To forsake Him is tragedy personally.
B. It is a folly PRACTICALLY
To go away from Jesus is practical folly. Just consider what Jesus is doing for me practically. In weakness, He is my strength. In sorrow, He is my comfort. In darkness, He is my light. In need, He is my present help. Without Him, I am nothing.
C. It is folly PROSPECTIVELY
To go away from Jesus is prospective folly.
I have only to think of what my future would be without Him to the folly in going away from Him. I have no hope without Him. I have no happy to tomorrows without Him.
Well, why do some go away?
I. Some go away because of WORRY
They are troubled, anxious, and uneasy.
A. Some worry about what others may think (John 12:42).
If you were 30,000 feet in the sky and I offered you a parachute, would you jump? Well, suppose that you are 30,000 feet in the air and the plane is on fire and I offered you a parachute, would you jump? Appropriate motivation will change our decision. People must understand that to refuse Jesus as Saviour, puts them in danger of eternal damnation.
B. Others worry about what Christ would expect from them.

Malky Mackay could be sacked after his agent admitted that, while the Cardiff City manager remains determined not to resign, his future depends on the "powers that be" at the club. Effectively this means Mackay's position will be decided by Vincent Tan, the owner.
Mackay attended a meeting of the board on Monday to discuss the direction of the club following the departure of Iain Moody who, as head of recruitment, was the manager's key adviser.
Tan replaced Moody with Alisher Apsalyamov, a 23-year-old Kazakh friend of his son who was formerly on work experience at Cardiff, a decision that compounded the uncertainty at the club.
While confirming that Mackay would not offer his resignation, the manager's representative, Raymond Sparkes, was clear that there are no guarantees the 41-year-old would retain his job.
"There is absolutely no prospect of Malky resigning from a job that he loves, a job he's ensconced in. No – absolutely, categorically not. That's not something Malky is contemplating," Sparkes, who was also at the board meeting, told BBC Radio Wales.
"Malky loves being at Cardiff City, has started a job there and feels that he's been given the opportunity to be the architect in some respects of a new Cardiff City. But football is a precarious business and Malky's decision to stay might not be matched by all the powers that be deciding that he should stay, so that's pretty much in the hands of other people."
Mackay remains angry at the treatment of Moody. Last week Moody was suspended, then placed on gardening leave before it was announced he had departed.
"Malky's feeling a little bit bemused and a good bit frustrated and certainly concerned," Sparkes said. "He has been concerned in terms of what this would mean to the club and also for the fans, who he feels have really not had anything said to them that has been meaningful.
"Malky is concerned that the fans had been kept pretty much in the dark."
Moody is unhappy at the allegations which led to his removal. These referred to an overspend of the summer transfer budget, after he helped Mackay sign Sevilla's Gary Medel for £11m, Tottenham Hotspur's Steven Caulker for £9m, Andreas Cornelius of FC Copenhagen for £8.5m and Rennes's Kévin Théophile-Catherine for £2.1m.
Tan's desire to remove Moody from the club had been building for several weeks, according to Sparkes. "Both men have made their positions quite clear but Iain has still been removed from his position and that's not going to change," he said.
"The real question is how do we go forward from here, how do we get things back on to an even keel and not only have a plan for taking the club forward but convince the Cardiff City fans that it's something that they can absolutely rely on and trust in going forward.
"Iain was a crucial member of Malky's team and for anyone who knows Malky or has come into contact with him, he is a tremendous character in every respect.
"No one will be surprised to hear that when a member of his family – if that's what we can call him – has been removed, then Malky, on complete morality grounds, is always going to jump to the defence of that individual."

Themes and Meanings
(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
Zora Neale Hurston's purpose in this story is to portray Isis as a child who is "drenched in light," who lives every moment of her life to the fullest, rather than as a tragically disadvantaged poor black child. The white lady recognizes that she lacks what Isis has. Though well-to-do and evidently cultured, this white lady desires and envies the light, sunshine, and sense of herself that Isis naturally exudes. The implication is that Isis's joy is cultural, deriving from her family and her rural, communal surroundings, and that white people lack this culture of joy.
Hurston was a writer who recognized and celebrated the rich indigenous black folk culture of her home state, Florida. "Drenched in Light," one of her earliest published short stories, is a statement of cultural identity and self-confidence. This affirmation of her origins and the parallel refusal to accept white culture as superior to southern black folk life were Hurston's primary contributions to the movement of black art, music, and voice in the 1920's and 1930's known as the Harlem Renaissance.
Hurston wrote the story while she was a student at Howard University in Washington, D.C. It is thinly veiled autobiography. Clearly she is Isis, the child gifted with natural intelligence and grace. The grandmother in the story is named after Hurston's own grandmother, and Hurston's childhood habit of sitting on the gatepost and hailing passers-by is recalled in...

An Interview with Jim DeVita, Playwright of Learning to Stay
Photo Credit: Jim DeVita
Learning to Stay opens March 23 at Forward Theater in Madison. The play, the first commissioned work by the theater company, was adapted by local playwright Jim DeVita from Celello's novel of the same name. DeVita shared with us via email where his inspiration came from and his perspective on the process.
F: What has it been like to work with Erin on this adaption?
D: Erin has been just wonderful, supportive and forthcoming. Before writing novels, I cut my teeth as an author writing adaptations – but to be honest, I had never worked with a living author. The lion's share of my adaptations have been from classic stories.
This would be a new experience to work with a contemporary novelist – who lived just around the corner. Before either of us said yes to the project, Erin and I, and Jen, met together to talk and get to know each other a little, and I felt immediately at ease with Erin, as she did with me. I felt she trusted me to take her work on this journey. And she trusted me to bring her book to the stage while maintaining the integrity of the original novel.
She's been incredibly helpful with her input. She has read draft after draft, and attended our public and in-house readings, and has offered up insights and criticisms along the way which have greatly shaped the creation of the play.
F: If you don't mind sharing, how many drafts has Learning to Stay been through at this point in time?
D: Well, at this point, I've had four major revisions. By that I mean I am not counting the numerous re-workings of scenes and speeches which happen on a continual basis. Each time we've had either a public reading, in-house reading, or a note session with the author, Erin, and Jen Gray, the director, we have had major overhauls to the script. Not only in content, but in the style of performance envisioned.
F: Jen mentioned you are no stranger to adapting books for the stage – what is your favorite part of the process?
D: Getting to know a book and an author's voice intimately. Rarely does one read a novel as many times in close succession as when adapting one. I've done close to twenty adaptations over the years, and I count all of these authors' works as sort of my continuing education. I did not go to school to be a writer, so books, and their authors, have always been my teachers.
I get to go beyond the first two or three reads, where I am still simply absorbing the story, and I then start to see and appreciate the craft and style which the author has brought to a work.
F: What are the challenges of adapting from book to stage?
D: Oh, gosh. There are many. It's a continual balancing act of trying to stay true to author's original intent, and yet also making the book viable for the stage. Some books are easier to adapt than others, particularly ones without a number of sub-plots, and also those where authors excel at dialogue and use a lot of it. You can often use much of these authors' lines verbatim.
It's more difficult transforming narrative into believable dialogue. It's also a challenge to communicate necessary exposition without sounding like you're communicating necessary exposition. And of course, you always have to write a certain amount of original material, while trying to stay true to the voice and tone of both the characters and the author.
You can never put all of a novel onto the stage, but what do you leave out? I often say that adapting a book is like a house of cards – how many cards can you pull out of the house before it collapses.
F: What other books would you like to adapt next, or do you yourself have any other books in the works?
D: I am currently 50,000 words into a second book in a series featuring Detective James Mangan. It picks up where my last book, A Winsome Murder, leaves off. I can't say much, as it's a mystery, but those who know the book might find it fun to know that Detective Mangan has left Chicago and moved to a small town in Wisconsin!

It's been one of those strange sorts of days. The kind where everything seems normal and smooth, until your kids start saying the most random and embarrassing things to strangers. That happens to you too, right? Right???
Everything was going great....we got into the check out line at JoAnn Fabrics and the nice elderly lady who was working smiled at us and said hello to the kids. 95% of the time, Paisley has one volume and that volume is set far above medium. Her voice is sweet, and loud. When the nice lady smiled and said "hello", Paisley smiled back and then responded with "I go poop!". Of course, Judah thought this was absolutely hilarious and so, he started laughing hysterically and joined in with "I go poop! I go poop! I go poop". At this point, the quiet store echoed with both of my kids laughter and their continuous exclamations of "I go poop!". I stood there, hushing them, telling them to get up off of the floor and threatening to throw away the suckers that the lady from the bank had just given them. Threatening the demise of their suckers finally worked and once again, silence and peace fell over the store.
Among many random and strange moments today, fell the big question before nap time. Once again, everything was normal. I was singing him songs and we were cruising along to a place of sleep and a few moments of peace for this tired Momma. Silent Night ended (I know Christmas is over, he just likes it), and out of nowhere, Judah said "So, how do babies get into a Mommy's tummy?" I'm not going to ramble out my entire answer here on the blog but, for now, let's just say that babies are made from a tiny piece of a Daddy and a tiny piece of a Mommy. God puts them in there and then they grow big.
For a three year old, this answer was sufficient and that's the story that we're going with, for now.
And so, now I'm going to share a recipe with you that was recently a huge hit in our home. These crackers have nothing to do with 'birds and the bees' talks or embarrassing moments in JoAnn Fabrics and frankly, I'm so glad. I need simple. And for just a few moments, I'm ready to focus on something that's far from life shaping.
Cheesy Whole Wheat Crackers. These crackers are so good that I'm almost afraid to make them again. All I can say is that they didn't last very long at our house. Before 48 hours had even passed, they were gone. Yum. Double yum.
Add in 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2 tablespoons very cold water. Mix in with your hands, forming the dough into a nice ball. Chill the dough for at least a half hour.
On a floured surface, roll the dough out very thin, about 1/8 of an inch. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and bake the crackers in a preheated 375 degree oven for 13-15 minutes, lightly brown and crisp.
Enjoy fresh out of the oven or store in an air tight container for 2-3 days.
Whole Wheat Cheese Crackers
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons cold water
In a bowl, mix together butter, cheese, salt and pepper. Add in cold water and flour and knead the dough together with your hands, bringing it together into a ball.
Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
While dough chills, place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough very thin, about an eighth of an inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or butter knife to cut the dough into squares. Place crackers on prepared baking sheets. The pieces can be close together as they won't expand much when baking. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown, and crisp.
Enjoy fresh from the oven or store in an airtight container for two or three days.

Not long ago, I wrote about how we were still swaddling Baby Y as he neared six months. Well, things change fast in babyland, and not long after that post, we decided to give unswaddling another go.

I mentioned in my post yesterday that perhaps breastfeeding was going a little too well because Olive has been rejecting the bottle.

This morning, when I groggily told my husband that I'd like to trade the baby for a toaster, I was only half-kidding. I. am. exhausted. A couple days ago, a teething Baby Y decided to use my left breast as a chew toy, leaving a full-on puncture wound. I couldn't let him latch to eat […]
I've previously written about how I didn't really love breastfeeding Charlie, and how I wasn't particularly sad about giving it up and pumping exclusively instead. But because I wasn't really successful at breastfeeding Charlie, I was very nervous about trying again with Olive. If I failed, not only would I feel like I failed at […]

.... '09 - Facility Part 2
One quick update to the post today- I would be remiss (or to put it bluntly, in a heap o' trouble) if I neglected to mention the most significant development in the facility this year.
Since keeping reptiles, my wife Nanette has been of the opinion that they are beautiful animals… and nice to look at from a distance. Not until this summer did she actually start handling the geckos (at least the small crested geckos for now). This is a HUGE step for her and it has not only helped out in the reptile room but also opened up sharing more about the hobby and about the animals between the two of us.
She still uses a long black plastic spoon to 'control' the geckos when she is feeding and watering. As long as she uses that big spoon on the geckos only!

Today I became an official student again. I started online classes today at Troy University for my Master of Public Administration program.
Troy's program is ranked in the top 5 Public Administration programs in the country and they offer several specializations to choose from: Public Management, Government Contracting, Justice Administration, Healthcare Administration, Environmental Management, Non-Profit Management, Public Human Resource Management, National Security Affairs, and Education. I will most likely pursue my specialization in Non-Profit Management.
I am really excited to go back to school, but I am nervous about finding the time to dedicate to school since my schedule is so busy at work and at home.

Fine Young Cannibals
0 Shouts - 2,727,031 Scrobbles
Fine Young Cannibals were a trio formed in Birmingham, England in 1984 by bassist David Steele, off UK band The Beat, guitarist Andy Cox and vocalist, actor/model Roland Gift. Their name came from the 1960 film All The Fine Young Cannibals starring Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood. The band's eponymous debut album was released in 1985, spawning two hit singles, "Johnny Come Home" and a cover of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" featuring additional vocals by Jimmy Somerville.Read More...
In 1990 the band won two Brit Awards: Best British Group, and Best British Album for "The Raw and the Cooked" which also reached number one in the US album charts. It was re-packed as a remix album ("The Raw & the Remix" and spawned six singles over three years; "She Drives Me Crazy","Good Thing", "Don't Look Back", "I'm Not the Man I Used to Be", "I'm Not Satisfied" and "It's O.K. (It's Alright)".
The trio split in 1992, though they recorded a new track in 1996 to promote their The Finest compilation. Gift soon reactivated the brand and toured in the 2000s as Roland Gift and the Fine Young Cannibals.
Fine Young Cannibals appeared as the house band in the 1987 film comedy Tin Men, peforming some of the songs that ended up on The Raw and the Cooked. Steele and Cox had previously recorded under the moniker Two Men A Drum Machine and a Trumpet.

Journal peacefinder's Journal: The things we do for Science 4
"Professor Gert Holstege and colleagues asked 13 heterosexual couples aged 19-49 to take part in an experiment. One half of the couple was asked to lie down, with their head inside a scanner, while their partner stimulated them manually to achieve orgasm. To aid the mood, the room lighting was dimmed and all noise distractions shut out. The couples then switched positions and the experiment was repeated. [...] The women were also asked to fake an orgasm so that these scan results could be compared with those taken during genuine orgasms. There were obvious differences. Professor Holstege said: 'Women can imitate orgasm quite well.'" More at the BBC.

Former New England Patriot and current resident of the Massachusetts Department of Corrections Aaron Hernandez beat up another inmate this week in the Bristol County jail where he's hanging out until he gets sent to a bigger, better prison for being a murderous psychopath.
Well, it turns the guy Hernandez beat up was handcuffed at the time and unable to defend himself.
TMZ reports:
The other inmate had been talking smack to Hernandez … and Aaron had been upset. When they got into the hallway, Aaron attacked … and we're told he beat the crap out of the guy. Since the victim's hands were restrained, he could barely defend himself from Aaron's assault, which we're told was brutal.
The jailhouse officials are still "investigating" the fight, but come one, are there any rules when it comes to jailhouse beatdowns? Did Oz teach us nothing?

Troops discover abandoned rebel training camp in Iloilo mountain
GOVERNMENT troops have discovered Thursday morning an abandoned training camp of New People's Army (NPA) rebels in a mountain village in Iloilo province, military reports said Friday.
Reports at Camp Aguinaldo, the military general headquarters in Manila, said that the rebel training was discovered by troops of the 82nd Infantry Battalion at a remote area of Leon town of Iloilo province.
Major Enrico Gil Ileto, information officer of army's 3rd Infantry Division, said that the camp was believed to have been abandoned by rebels following recent clash between army troops and NPA rebels in the province.
The recent clash between government troops and NPA rebels also resulted in the killing of Pfc John Philip Durana, prompting the military to mount aggressive pursuit operations against the rebels.
The army official said the camp was situated behind mountainous terrain, thick vegetation and trees and can be reached by hours of trek from the nearest roads of Brgys. Bucari, Danao and Cagay of said town.
Ileto said that the discovered rebel camp has several foxholes, kitchens, three makeshift classrooms and a water supply similar to two other camps overrun by troops in Panay Island last month.
"We believe this is a training camp. We owe this discovery of the camp to the people who we serve especially those in the hinterlands," said Lt. Colonel Aldwine Almase, commander of the 82nd Infantry Battalion.

Luke Pearson's Hilda is coming to Netflix
Whaaa-at!!! When I first saw this profile of Luke PEarson in The New Yorker, I was pleased as punch. I called Pearson one of the best emerging cartoonists when I first saw his work four years ago and since then he's definitely emerged are a best selling author. But then I got to the third paragraph with the huge news that Pearson's Hilda series is being adapted as a 12-episode animated series set to debut on Netflix in 2018.

It's that time of year when we start thinking about NEXT year, and publishers nveil their schedules.

Among the goodies: a full color expansion of Sam Bosma's award winning Fantasy Basketball, and the print debut of Jen Lee, whose webcomics Thunderpaw we've long been fans of.

I recall having a minor issue when it was first new, sent it back via dealer to Canada and did not have any other issues. Had it for about 12 years, just replaced it with an Ayre AX7e integrated a few months ago.
Classe' CAP-151,are there reliability issues?
I have noticed a few Classe'CAP-151 around at quite reasonable prices. This integrated has not only received some fairly decent reviews, but seems to be an amp people like and hang onto for awhile. My problem is most of inquiries I have made to potential sellers comes with a history of having been repaired,in most cases back at Classe'. Is this just coincidence or are these amps prone to repair? The Cap-151 was built in Canada (I am Canadian) prior to moving thier operations off shore to China. They still have a repair depot, including all parts except faceplates and chassis,back in Montreal and thier out of warranty shop rate is $90 a hour. Again, there are some good deals out there,however if the amp keeps landing back at Classe',then I had best look elsewhere. Please note that I am just inquiring and not trying to bash Classe' since I know they are well built and a favorite amongst many audiophiles. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

You've spent the last little while teaching us to fill our homes for free – what was the best thing about working on the show?
The best thing about working on the show was sharing my thoughts and skills with others, I enjoy working in the workshop in a small team but it's even better sharing your ideas with 2.4 million people
When did your love of recycling and upcycling objects come from?
I never realised until recently that my parents taught me to 'make do and mend' and we repaired everything that broke. I didn't see it as upcycling or invention it was simply cost effective and sensible.
Tell us a little about your business Reestore.. how did you start it and what is your signature style?
I established reestore in 2002 after a short career as a car designer, I wanted to design something smaller from concept to manufacture with an ethical, contemporary style. I like all my pieces to provoke the viewer to ask whether it really used to be something else, the quality of upcycled designs must be even better than new items as customers are automatically looking for flaws!
You've created some unusual upcycling projects in the past, but which of your creations sticks in your mind the most?
When we created the items for TV the design process was a lot shorter, usually I would make prototypes, test materials and source special items, when I made the radiator table for the show I had half a day, was working with what I had and in front of a film crew, it was madness to take on such a challenge but it was worth it when I saw the contributors reaction
Why did you want to be a part of the Festival of Thrift?
When I heard that the team behind vintage festival were creating an all thrift show i got very excited indeed! they are known for throwing amazing festivals and with the theme of making, crafts and upcycling its going to draw an audience of amazing likeminded people. I'm actually getting giddy just thinking about it!
What will you be doing there?
Well I wanted to hold a workshop to teach people the basic skills as that was the feedback I've received from the show. It then occurred to me that I don't have a camper or caravan and I'm too old for tents! I therefore decided to take my van of tools with a trailer on the back loaded with lots of old pallets. Over the course of the show I intend to turn the load of junk into a retro styled beach hut caravan for me to sleep in – who knows what will happen?!
The Festival of Thrift, curated by Wayne Hemingway and Gerardine Hemingway MBE, is a fabulously fun and frugal free festival happening at Lingfield Point in Darlington on the 21 & 22 of September 2013. For more information please visit www.festivalofthrift.co.uk or follow them on Twitter on @thriftfest

J. NEVIN WHITE LUMBER CO., INC., APPELLANTv.WILLIAM H. SHERIFF ET AL., APPELLEES
Appeals from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of the 41st Judicial District of Pennsylvania, Perry County Branch in the case of J. Nevin White Lumber Co., Inc. v. William H. Sheriff, Robert B. Loy, John D. Sheaffer, The Board of Supervisors of Southwest Madison Township, No. 80-2, in equity.
Arthur A. Kusic, Kusic and Lappas, P.C., for appellant.
William R. Bunt, for appellees.
Judges Rogers, Williams, Jr. and Palladino, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Rogers.
Author: Rogers
[ 60 Pa. Commw. Page 502]
J. Nevin White Lumber Co. (White) has appealed two orders entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Perry County in an equity suit brought by it against Southwest Madison Township and its supervisors. The appellant principally sought injunctive relief in the form of an order which would direct the defendants to permit the appellant to use three township bridges, two having an eight ton and the third a three ton capacity, with its logging trucks weighing more than thirty-six tons. We will affirm the operative order -- the subject of the appeal to No. 2007 C.D. 1980 -- on the chancellor's opinion. We address procedural difficulties as follows:
After trial, the chancellor on June 26, 1980, filed an order denying relief and dismissing the complaint, accompanied by an opinion containing extensive findings of fact, conclusions of law and discussion of the issues.
[ 60 Pa. Commw. Page 503]
The chancellor's order was in final form; specifically it was not in the form of a decree nisi as required by Pa. R.C.P. No. 1517. White appealed the June 26, 1980, order to this court and it is the subject of the appeal at No. 1641 C.D. 1980. The township filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for the failure of White to file exceptions to the order in the court below. The chancellor, realizing that his order of June 26, 1980, was not in proper form, vacated that order and entered a decree nisi. Quite properly he did not file a new opinion (or adjudication), because the opinion filed with the June 26, 1980, order contained all of the necessary elements of an adjudication.
White then filed exceptions to the decree nisi and the adjudication (opinion) in the court below which were dismissed by order of August 18, 1980, rendering the decree nisi the final order. White then appealed this order to No. 2007 C.D. 1980. The township has filed a motion to quash this second appeal on the ground that the chancellor was without authority to vacate his first order and enter a decree nisi conforming to the Rules of Civil Procedure after the appeal from the first order was filed in this court.
The township's position seems to be that there may be no review at all in this court although the appellant has filed timely appeals to both orders below (1) because the appellant failed to file exceptions to the first order of June 26, 1980, and (2) because the court below had no authority to make the second order of August 18, 1980. By order dated October 15, 1980, we dismissed the motion to dismiss the first appeal. We conclude that the motion to quash the second appeal should be dismissed on the ground that the lower court had authority under Pa. R.A.P. 1701(b)(1) to correct the defect in the form of its first order by vacating it and substituting an order (decree nisi) in proper form.
[ 60 Pa. Commw. Page 504]
Hence, we quash the appeal to No. 1641 C.D. 1980, from the June 26, 1980 order vacated below; we dismiss the township's motion to quash the appeal to No. 2007 C.D. 1980; and we affirm the order of August 18, 1980, appealed to No. 2007 C.D. 1980 on the comprehensive opinion ...

It's Friday! What does everyone have in store for the weekend? If you're looking for something to do in the Richmond, VA area I suggest you check out the inaugural Richmond International Dragon Boat Festival. Races will take place at Rocketts Landing from 8:00am-4:30pm and there is also a lineup of food vendors and traditional Chinese entertainment scheduled for midday. Also on tap is the 21st Annual Big Brother Big Sister Duck Race on Brown's Island. Watch 20,000 rubber ducks race down the river to the finish line, check out great vendors, and plenty of free activities for the kids. It's going to be a busy day on the James River! Don't forget your sunscreen.
Last night Ken and I watched our first episode of Jersey Shore, after being told all last summer that we had to watch it; that everyone was watching it. Aside from being completely lost about what was going on, I thought it was awful. Which I guess is the point... right? Anyways, the arguing, drama and constant "bleepage" was not my cup of tea, but I'm not mocking anyone who watches it because I can definitely understand why it can be found entertaining. Which got me to thinking about guilty pleasures.
Urban Dictionary has it best I think, saying that a guilty pleasure is "something that you shouldn't like, but like anyway." Or in my thoughts, something that makes everything better if just for a few moments in the crazy lives we lead!
Everyone has a guilty pleasure, whether it's dessert after lunch on Friday afternoons, a second glass of wine with your meal, those Twilight books we're all too old to be reading (I have yet to read a book or see a movie), or reality television such as the classy Jersey Shore.
My guilty pleasure is that crazy show that comes on ABC Family, of all places! I can't get enough of The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It's my guilty pleasure because I have no idea why I like it! The acting is horrible, the stories are unbelievably twisted, and there are way too many references to sex coming from various 13-18 year olds. It's like a freaking train wreck though; I.JUST.CAN'T.STOP.WATCHING. I tune in every Monday for all the gab, and go to bed feeling guilty as a gumdrop for liking this teenage smut.
What's your guilty pleasure?

The 8 th-century Gelasian Sacramentary, which embodies a much older tradition, mentions it under the title of Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which has led some to suppose that it was ordained by Pope Gelasius I.
If he has a balance of good works in his favour, he passes forthwith into paradise (Garo demana) and the blessed life.
When the national independence was destroyed, the prophetic teaching held the people together in the hope of a re-establishment of the Kingdom when all nations should be subject to it and blessed in its everlasting reign of righteousness and peace (Isa.

I can even now point out the place where the blessed Polycarp used to sit when he discoursed, and describe his goings out and his comings in, his manner of life and his personal appearance and the discourses which he delivered to the people, how he used to speak of his intercourse with John and with the rest of those who had seen the Lord, and how he would relate their words.

The Lenkoran district, sometimes called Talysh, on the western side of the Kizil-Agach bay, is blessed with a rich vegetation, a fertile soil, and a moist climate.
Christianity, with its one God, and its promise of redemption and a blessed immortality based upon divine revelation, met as no other contemporary faith did the awakening religious needs.
For pantheism personal immortality appears a lesser good than reabsorption in the universal life; but against this objection we may confidently maintain that worthier of God and more blessed for man is the hope of a conscious communion in an eternal life of the Father of all with His whole family.
He suffers, is despised, rejected, chastened and afflicted that others may be blessed and be at peace through his chastisement.
In the Roman Catholic Church the amice, alb, girdle, stole, maniple, chasuble must be solemnly blessed by the bishop or his delegate, the prayers and other forms to be observed being set forth in the Pontificale (see Benediction).

Average weekly online spending hits £1 billion
Written by Anthony Strzalek
Online retail sales in the UK grew 19.5 per cent in March compared with the previous year, while the average weekly online spend hit the £1 billion mark, the latest ONS figures reveal.
On a monthly basis, online sales saw a 0.5 per cent rise on February's figures. The amount spent online in March accounted for 15.5 per cent of all retail spending, excluding automotive fuel, compared with 13.6 per cent in March 2016.
However, overall retail sales were down. The three months leading up to March showed a decrease of 1.4 per cent; the third consecutive decline in sales.
Kate Davies, a senior statistician at ONS, said: "Today's retail sales figures show a decline on the month and on the three months to March, which coincides with Q1 in 2017. This is the first time we've seen a quarterly decline since 2013, and it seems to be a consequence of price increases across a whole range of sectors."

Suspects Identified In 3 Deaths
Sun., Jan. 8, 1995
Police want blood and hair samples from two young men living in Canada as part of their investigation into the slayings of three members of a family last July.
Atif Rafay, 18, and Sebastian Burns, 19, are now suspects in the slayings, Bellevue police spokesman Lt. Jack McDonald said Friday.
McDonald said King County prosecutors "now agree with us that the information gathered to date gives us probable cause to arrest Atif and Sebastian for investigation of homicide. That is, if they were in the United States. Unfortunately, they're not.'
Police want to know if they can link blood found at the crime scene with the youths, who are living in West Vancouver, British Columbia.
Killed were Tariq and Sultana Rafay, both 56, and their 20-year-old daughter, Basma. The Rafays, Pakistanis who were naturalized Canadian citizens, had just moved to Bellevue. Tariq Rafay worked as a consulting engineer.
Atif Rafay is the couple's son. Burns is Atif's friend."If the Bellevue police think my kid has to prove his innocence, well, that's not the way the legal system's supposed to work," he told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in a telephone interview.The young men's attorney, Patrick Beirne of Vancouver, B.C., did not return a telephone message left at his office Saturday.
The triple slaying happened while Atif Rafay was home on summer break from Cornell University.
Rafay and Burns told police at the time they had been out on the town and arrived home in the wee hours of July 13 to find the battered bodies in separate locations. A medical examiner's report said the victims had been beaten with a blunt instrument, but no weapon has been found.
Rafay and Burns left town a few days after the slayings and took a Greyhound bus for Vancouver. The two have since been living at the Burns' family home in West Vancouver.
Meanwhile, a Kirkland attorney representing Atif Rafay has worked out an agreement with police to release the Rafay home from police red tape after Jan. 31.
From Vancouver, Atif Rafay began trying to claim the house shortly after the slayings.
A group of people apparently looking for a place to party Thursday night broke into the vacant home, setting off silent alarms.

For his next instalment of his Where Are They Now series Peverell Green puts the spotlight on the career of John L Williams.
JOHN 'CARDIFF' WILLIAMS – Born 27th January 1936 Rhymney, Wales.
After featuring the better known Johnny Williams a couple of weeks ago and mentioning he was one of two John Williams at the club at the time I thought I would find out what I could about John 'Cardiff' Williams as he was known at Argyle.
The internet had nothing about him, the excellent Greens on Screen database was able to tell me where he came from, where he went to, and how many times he played for Argyle but not much else.
I contacted some of the older fans who had been able to help me out with the Wilf Carter feature, but they didn't recall anything of note about him.
I thought to myself, this man has a Championship winning medal he deserves more than to be forgotten, just a name on a team sheet and a face in a black and white team photo. I re-read the chapter on John from the definitive book of the 1958-59 season, 'Plymouth Argyle – Thanks for the Memory' by Steve Rhodes, I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in this era of the club's history, it's still available on eBay at the bargain price of £5 and is a treasure trove of information.
Anyway, I let Steve know of my interest, he too thought John's story deserved to reach a wider audience and he agreed for me to use some of his interviews with John in a feature on him.
John lived with his parents and older sister in his grandfather's house in a mining village in South Wales his father worked for 45 years in the local pit.
John's football talent was first noticed at his local secondary school, his ability was also noticed by the Welsh Youth team selectors, which says a lot about his talent as he had rarely left his village and unlike most of the other youth team players he wasn't on the ground staff of any professional club, although he had played for Tredegar Schoolboys.
He was sixteen when he was selected to play against England Youth at Fratton Park Portsmouth, England won 3-1 with John scoring the Welsh goal.
As a result of his performance against England, Hull City offered him a trial; he obviously impressed them as they offered him terms.
His mother wasn't happy about him moving so far from home and wouldn't let him sign for them.
It wasn't long afterwards when Cardiff City, a first division (Premiership) club showed an interest, and in January 1953 he signed professional forms with them for £6 a week. John continued to live at home and travelled daily by train to Cardiff, with the club paying his £1 a week return rail ticket.
Like most men of his generation John was required to do two years National Service and he was called up when he was eighteen, serving the majority of his time at Bielefeld in Germany with the Royal Army Service Corps, although he played football for the Army there were no other professionals in the team.
When he was demobbed in 1956 he returned to Cardiff City playing in their Football Combination team. Unfortunately for John both of Cardiff's wing halves, his position, were international footballers with another one playing with him in the reserves.
John decided there was little chance of him getting first team football so he asked his manager for a transfer.
Near the end of the 1957-58 season he was told Norwich were interested in him and wanted him to play in a friendly against Leicester.
Norwich liked what they saw and proposed an offer of £4,000. John thought he would be moving to Carrow Road but when he returned to Cardiff was told Plymouth had shown an interest in him so he travelled to Devon to speak with manager Jack Rowley.
He obviously liked what he saw and was offered, for although Argyle offered Cardiff £1000 less for him they gave him better personal terms and he agreed to join Argyle, signing on at the same time as Gordon Fincham. He left Cardiff without making a first team appearance.
His Argyle first team debut came on 18th September 1958 in a 3-0 home win over Bury, keeping his place for the next fourteen games; he then lost his first team place to new signing Len Casey.
Sadly for John his time out of the first team co-incided with Argyle playing his old club Cardiff in the FA Cup third round in front of over 40,000 at Home Park. John regained his first team place in March which gave him the opportunity to play in the Easter Saturday game at Newport, with his proud parents and one of his former schoolteachers travelling from Rhymney to watch him play.
John's mother, obviously not a football fan had to be told by his father, David, that John's team were the greens and Newport the yellows. A Wilf Carter penalty ensured the family went home happy after seeing their son's team win, although John did say he thought his father was just as pleased to have been introduced to Jack Rowley.
John played in both the game at Accrington that secured promotion and the Championship winning match, a 1-1 home draw with Bradford City in front of 26,717 fans, he never featured regularly in the first team after that.
In 1959-60 he made 6 appearances, in 1960-61 two league and two League Cup appearances and in 1961-62 only two league appearances. A regular in the reserves John gained national recognition when in December 1961 Argyle played Tottenham's reserves at Home Park, the week before Spurs had signed Jimmy Greaves from AC Milan and as his registration to play in the first team hadn't arrived he made his debut in front of 12,000 Argyle fans and many journalists, with John assigned to mark him.
Although Jimmy scored two goals, keeping up his record of always scoring on his debut, John received great praise in the press for his tenacious and dogged display.
He played a total of 39 times for Argyle without scoring any goals.
A move to Torquay followed, where in three seasons he made 42 league appearances.
He then continued to move up the south coast when he joined Weymouth where he was signed by his old Torquay boss, Eric Webber. Unfortunately John's father suffered a stroke and he decided to return to Wales.
He joined Merthyr Town who played in the Southern League and later Ton Pentre playing in the Welsh League.
While at Merthyr they were drawn to play Wrexham in the FA Cup, who were now managed by his old Argyle manager, Jack Rowley, who took time out to welcome his former player.
After retiring from football John spent twenty years working as a Training Officer at the Hoover plant in Merthyr.
In 2008 John returned to Home Park with some of the other surviving members of the 1958-59 Championship winning team, he looked as fit as he must have done in his playing days.
After Steve Rhodes met with him he revealed that in recent years had run in two London Marathons, the Welsh Half Marathon and the Great Cardiff Run and still runs ten miles a week.
If there is anyone who does have memories of John, an unsung but invaluable squad member please let me know by email – firstname.lastname@example.com

January 1, 1833
GEORGE W. WARD AND RICHARD K. CALL, REGISTER AND RECEIVER (U. S.), APPELLANTS,v.LEWIS GREGORY. THE SAME APPELLANTSv.JACOB ROBINSON AND F. SWEARINGEN.
APPEALS from the Court of Appeals for the territory of Florida.
White moved to dismiss these cases, on the grounds that the proceedings were at law in the courts of the United States for the territory of Florida, and that they had been brought up from the court of appeals of that territory, by appeals instead of by writs of error.
On the 13th December, 1826, on the applications of the appellees to the superior court of appeals for the middle district of Florida, a mandamus was issued directed to George W. Ward, the register of the western land-district of Florida, and to Richard K. Call, receiver of public moneys in said district, commanding them to permit the persons praying for the mandamus to enter and purchase certain sections of land, described in the writ, under the provisions of the act of congress of the 22d of April 1826, which gave rights of pre-emption in the purchase of land to certain settlers in the states of Alabama and Mississippi, and the territory of Florida. From the superior court, the case was removed by a writ of error, to the court of appeals for the territory of Florida; and on the 21st of January 1831, the order of the superior court was affirmed by the court of appeals. From this judgment, the United States appealed to this court.
THE COURT ordered the appeal to be dismissed; the proceeding by mandamus being at common law, and therefore, the cases should have been brought up by writs of error.

"Working at height remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries. Common cases include falls from ladders and through fragile surfaces. 'Work at height' means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury (for example a fall through a fragile roof)."

At a time when Health and Safety is of utmost importance in every industry, it is paramount to use alternative and safer means of inspecting plant, machinery and structures, where access using orthodox methods such as scaffold, MEWP's or even abseiling are not viable options, due to time, budget or health and safety constraints. Here at Aerial Optics we offer remote inspections using a high tech ROAV (remotely operated aerial vehicle), coupled with the latest camera and software equipment, to produce clear and concise imagery that can be used in reporting and recording vital information without the need to compromise the safety of your workforce.

Tropical Storm Nate hit Nicaragua on the evening of October 4th and by the early morning of October 5th, mass flooding and devastation had ensued. The rains kept up until Saturday afternoon, keeping the rivers high and access to many areas impossible. The area where we work and live, Tola, was impacted heavily by the rains and flash flooding. Hundreds of people lost homes and all of their belongings. Power has been out for over 72 hours as of Oct. 7, and the wells are contaminated, which means people have no drinking water or a way to bathe.
Our beloved Martita, the nurse who runs our ultrasound program, lost everything in her home when the river rose and swept through – she and her family barely made it out alive. My daughter, Sarah, and her family evacuated by walking in waist-deep rushing waters to high ground.
People are sleeping in the streets, in the schools, in family members' homes, with no food, no water, no clothes. We at MOG NEED TO HELP – we need YOUR HELP! PLEASE PARTNER WITH US – PHASE ONE is to raise the funds needed in order the buy items in Nicaragua to distribute..

I am just trying to be fair. If strict Islamists could have carried out this in modern times:
Isn't it possible that the inscription witnessed by D'Antraigues and many others could have been taken to similarly 'offensive'? I don't have a ready image to post but the original images appear here in this PDF. I have a hard time believing that D'Antraigues necessarily made up this witness given the fact that we other testimonials to the existence of the same object.

Hellstarr – Today
Sitting in the snow I sniffed the air
It smelled like October –
Not January –
I lay down on my snowy bed
And stared at the night sky above
I saw the stars – our stars –
Twinkling in the sky,
The magic three…
In simpler times we thought
They represented our home –
The darkness on the edge of the storm
That spawned us.
Now I know better.
Those stars are the boys
One, two, three,
Two for you and one for me.
I've dreamed them together so many times
Heard them laugh, fight and sing,
Play music late into the night.
So sad that will never be…

Activist, DC, education, Families for justice, freedom, Human Trafficking, Not For Sale Campaign, Oppressed, sex trade
This weekend my family and I participated in our second "DC Walk to Stop Modern Slavery". Human trafficking is something that has been close to my heart since a life-changing trip to Thailand and remains a huge passion, even as I mother three little kids. (Mommy and Anti-Human Trafficking Activist). The only problem, is that since I stepped into the role of "mommy", I've been unsure about how to continue in the role of "activist".
Before I was a mom, I was intentional about living connected to the needs of the oppressed, especially among the female population of the world. But since I've become a mom to small kids, there is a frustrating disconnect that has happened between my desire to be an active part of "justice" and compassion oriented missions and the realities involved in caring for the day-to-day needs of my little ones.
I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to help end human trafficking, but feeling helpless based on current life circumstances. So today I'm sharing with you about our DC walk as one small way we've found to bridge the gap between life as a young family and being an active voice for the voiceless. I encourage YOU to participate in an awareness walk/run, similar to the DC Walk to Stop Modern Slavery! (here's a post last year's walk experience) You can totally do it with a stroller and make it a great day with the family, while walking for freedom for the oppressed!
It is stunning and completely unacceptable that currently 27 million people are being trafficked and abused for labor or commercial sexual exploitation around the world! While this is a huge and overwhelming problem, the first step towards eradicating this type of de-humanizing criminal activity is education. The victims need education about how to avoid the traps of traffickers, but so do we! We need to know what it looks like, how it happens, where it happens, and what to do if we see such a crime in progress.
Get educated, and talk to others about the reality of human trafficking. It's not just overseas, it's likely in your hometown as well. So here are a few myths and facts to get the ball rolling!
Top 4 myths about Human Trafficking: (by StopModernSlavery.org)
1. False: Trafficking is forced transportation of people across borders.
True: Trafficking is modern-day slavery through labor/commercial sexual exploitation; it does not require transportation to occur.
2. False: Trafficking includes only foreign nationals.
True: Many trafficked persons are victims of domestic trafficking — within the borders of a single country and are themselves nationals of that country.
3. False: Trafficking is caused by poverty and inequality.
True: Trafficking is not primarily caused by poverty and inequality; this industry is driven by A) the potential for large profit due to high demand B) negligible-to-low risk of prosecution.
4. False: Trafficking cannot be stopped.
True: Trafficking CAN be stopped. Stopping it requires the collective efforts of government, NGO's, private sector, and the community. We organize this walk because we believe massive public awareness, increased funding for NGO's, and collaboration among different sectors of society are crucial to stopping Human Trafficking.
Some other great ways to raise awareness are through fundraising campaigns, walks/runs, or local documentary showings that shed light on the issue of modern-day slavery.
Let's get educated, raise our voices and do something about it together!
