How To: Turn Your iTouch or iPhone Into A Wireless Music Remote
I know, I know -- there's just too many How To's today. So much you probably don't want to see any more for the rest of the week! However, a good "How To" is worthy of notice, and this one from Lifehacker is nothing short of it. Using stuff you've already got (or perhaps an incentive to invest), you can easily turn your dull, unconnected home into a wireless hub of musical goodness.
"For a cool $1000, you can buy the Sonos Bundle 150 and wirelessly play music from a single remote control in two separate rooms in your house. On the other hand, for about $100 or less if you've already got the right equipment, you can get the same functionality from your iPhone or iPod touch. Let's take a closer look at how to use the iTunes Remote application for the iPhone 2.0 with inexpensive equipment you may already have to remote control music playback wirelessly in any room in your home."
I read through the entire guide and it seems pretty easy and very feasible. Before jumping completely, here's the required products you should have (unless you want to spend more money) to save you some time:
- iPhone or iPod touch: $199 (8GB iPhone minus wireless costs) or $299 (8GB touch)
- Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router: $50 (not the only supported router; see below)
- Headphone-to-RCA Cable: $2 (I'm estimating, but you can get these things cheap at your local RadioShack.)
- Apple AirPort Express: $100
If you have all of those already laying around the house, feel free to get your geek on. It'll take about an hour for the persistent. About 2 1/2 hours for those who haven't played with router and IP settings before.

... closed doors, she cusses me out with no restraint. When she apologizes later, she confesses that she can't control it. Could this be a mild form of Bipolar?

You hit the nail on the head
Hi, corpsman! I have a subtype of Bipolar disorder in which my hypomania manifests as extreme aggression and hostility. I could usually keep it together in public although a couple folks actually got bitch~slapped. With family and friends once I went off, I was literally no longer able to control my actions.
A lithium prescription stopped the episodes almost immediately.
Either way, a psych evaluation is certainly in order.
Best wishes to both of you and let me take a second to thank you for your service to the country! WCV
My mania does the same. I get aggressive, mean and agitated. Totally not myself. I'm glad I am not the only one that gets that way. People think of mania as always happy and energetic, kind of like a high. But if you know of anyone who drinks and gets mean that's me, not from drinking but from my mania.
I'm glad I'm not alone! Mania isn't always rosy peaches and cream!
I'm with WildcatVet. I am bipolar with the irritable and angry hypomania. I find that I am so on guard when I am out that I can hold everything in most of the time as I am terrified that I will embarrass my Hubbie with an outburst, but at home I am not on guard so if I get frustrated with something or confused out will come the rage.
I hope you can get a proper evaluation for your wife and not a GP doc deciding she is depressed. That is what happened to me and my old temper outbursts are tame compared to what happens now.
Take care of you and your wife. Life is too short to live like that for both of you.
Hi. Can you talk to your husband about this, or will he get mad? L, Anna
We are learning how to talk about this. It is such a sensitive area for both of us and fairly new for us too. Things didn't go real bad for me until about 18 months ago. It was hard to explain to him before that but having seen me at my worst now has made him realize that I really do not have control and made him more understanding.
I got a proper evaluation so am going for therapy now and on meds. That has made a difference although there is still a long ways to go.
Yeah, well, my partner is in a religion that does not believe in psychiatry or psych meds. He considers my *symptoms* to be *side effects*. OUCH!!
Sorry to hear that WildcatVet, that must make it hard for you.
If God didn't want us to learn to help ourselves and each other (doctors in all fields) we would all be still living in caves etcetera huddled around fires living in furs.
I tell him that G*d gave us brains and intelligence expecting us to use them! You think they'd learn ~ one of the church members committed suicide while in a deep depression. Guess they didn't pray hard enough?

Implementing a "Digital-First" strategy that capture audience attention across platforms and locations
Leveraging an intuitive, easy-to-use online video platform
Top agricultural producers who crave reliable, timely, in-depth information and ideas turn to Farm Journal Media (FJM), one of America's most respected media brands to fill their needs. In 1877 it was easy for Farm Journal Media to dominate the market with their namesake print magazine, Farm Journal. Fast-forward to 2013 where being the market leader now means capturing attention through multiple agricultural websites, streaming TV, blogs, social media and other digital channels.
FJM's audience may have their roots in corn, soy and wheat but they want their information digitally at any time of day, on any device and wherever they are – which is especially critical when they are in the field working. FJM has grown exponentially and developed an integrated multimedia strategy that leverages the power of an online video solution to make sure that makes sure that viewers around the country never miss the latest crop, weather or market reports. And, to tackle the challenge of delivering content even to the most remote rural viewers where bandwidth is limited, the video solution that FJM uses harnesses a global high-performance delivery network to reach each and everyone in their target audience – ensuring the best user experience regardless of bandwidth, device or location.
The proof is in the numbers. According to Experian Hitwise, FJM's online properties generate 1.5 million visits per month with 400-500 unique visits. This accounts for approximately 53 percent of all traffic in the agricultural online magazine/ periodical space – making Farm Journal the clear go-to source and industry leader for farming and agricultural information.
Hyler Cooper is VP of Technology and Applications Development at FJM. In his role, he is responsible for technology across the organization and for Agweb.com, its primary branded website.
Hyler's passion is telling stories regardless of the medium. He began his career as a news photographer and next filmed video for broadcast television news before taking his storytelling to the Information Technology side of the media business.
"Whether it's ink on paper or via broadcast TV, or now on the Internet, my passion is delivering information to make people's lives at work and at home better."
"We found that Limelight Orchestrate had the tools that we needed at the right price point to make it as easy as possible for our editorial team to get rich media agricultural news to our audiences."
"The ROI has been huge. Viewing times for our half hour news shows are up to 15-18 minutes from 5-10 minutes and our full hour show on the weekends has viewers engaged for an average of 45 minutes."
FJM launched Agweb.com in 2000 right before the dot.com bubble burst. The online business hummed along at the same level as other agricultural sites until Hyler was brought in five years ago and given a directive from the CEO to make "Digital-First".
The challenge facing Hyler and his team was how to drive an audience that had long relied on other means of traditional media to AgWeb.com.
"Digital-first" meant making the technology experience as easy as possible for FJM consumers who are, on average, nearly 60 year old and not the most digitally savvy. Content needed to be fresh, rich, dynamic and updated faster than what they could get offline and the viewing experience had to be superb.
Agweb.com's previous off-the-shelf content management system and built in video solution wasn't equipped to meet the challenge. Without streaming capabilities, bandwidth costs were high and without the right user experience, the goal of getting readers to the site first was a long shot.
Hyler knew that online video was one of the levers and considered numerous factors in selecting the right video solution that included:
Hyler's entire editorial team needed to be able to upload and manage content easily.
Hyler needed a player that could detect and optimize content based on each viewer's device and bandwidth speeds in order to ensure consistent high-quality experiences across devices and geographies.
Agweb.com needed to generate advertising revenue, which meant that Hyler needed a video solution with built-in tools for pre-roll advertising.
Top-line is important but so is bottom line. Hyler had to have a cost-effective solution in addition to all the tools he needed.
Hyler needed a scalable solution that could grow as they added content to the AgWeb.com library and as the company expanded across digital platforms.
With Limelight as its trusted partner, Hyler's team has been able to deliver "digital first". FJM's editors have an intuitive end-to-end video solution that lets them easily upload content and know that it will stream reliably in the right format to farmers across the nation.
Today, FJM posts one hour long show per week, a daily 30-minute show and as many as 5 or six shorter pieces daily plus several audiocasts to their websites. In total there are over 5,300 pieces of media in their Limelight Orchestrate managed library.
Because of the increasing amount of content available and the reliability of the viewing experience, viewership is increasing.
With Limelight, FJM has realized many business benefits:
-When editorial directors at FJM want to create content they can upload video and audio files with ease. The files are then automatically transformed into the appropriate format such as Flash, iOS, or Smooth Streaming.
-FJM can reach Farmers in hard to reach rural areas through content delivered to mobile devices using Limelight's global high-performance delivery network and know that its content will be delivered without interruption whenever viewers want to watch.
-FJM has a scalable video publishing solution that helps the editorial team manage their growing library.
-Hyler's team gets a solution that makes sure that video is delivered at the right speed in the right format to each Farmer wherever they are watching and on whatever device they are watching on.
-Limelight's Orchestrate Suite gives FJM a cloud-delivered solution with no software installation or maintenance required.

Business wants help on immigrant labor
Businesses direct cash to GOP over immigration rules
Marriott, Hilton, others want relief on whom they can hire
WASHINGTON — By more than a 5-to-1 margin, campaign contributions from J.W. Marriott Jr. are flowing toward Republicans this year. For his generosity, the Marriott International Inc. chairman may find the party thwarting changes in immigration law his company wants.
Marriott and other companies including Intel Corp., Hilton Worldwide and Texas Instruments Inc. are seeking a boost in the number of legal immigrant workers they are allowed to hire.
Should November's election give Republicans control of at least one chamber of Congress, though, some of the party's leading lawmakers say their focus will be on border security, not the immigrant-worker changes the businesses are seeking.
"You have to secure the border before you do anything else," said Rep. Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican in line to become House Judiciary Committee chairman if his party wins the chamber.
The business viewpoint was pressed Sept. 30 by News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, who urged House Judiciary subcommittee members to work on a bipartisan overhaul of immigration policy that includes "an end to the arbitrary immigration and visa quotas." Republicans on the panel, including Smith, voiced skepticism, saying lower-skilled employees could see their wages fall if more legal foreign workers are allowed in.
Corporate lobbyists say they will have to forge new relationships in Congress to advance their immigration agenda.
"We're going to have our work cut out for us in making our case" that lifting current caps on legal immigrant workers "is an important part of maintaining our technology leadership," said Paula Collins, vice president of government relations at Dallas-based Texas Instruments.
The business agenda calls for increases in worker visas for skilled and unskilled labor, and more employment-based "green cards" — proof of permanent residency in the U.S. that can allow for a lifetime career.
Technology companies such as eBay Inc. and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. are among those urging Congress to lift the cap on H-1b visas for skilled workers. The annual limit has been at 65,000 since 2004, after expiration of a temporary increase from 2001-2003 that raised the cap to 195,000. In fiscal 2010, the cap was reached in nine months.
Companies also want to lift the limit on employment-based green cards, now set at 140,000.
At Cognizant, which has been in the top five of U.S. employers seeking green cards for workers for a decade, the company begins seeking permanent status for workers as soon as they get an H-1B temporary visa, said Robert Hoffman, vice president for global public policy. The workers then wait in a "legal and professional limbo" for five years or more, he said.
The restaurant and hotel industries have different needs focused on seasonal, lower-skilled workers. Jonas Neihardt, a lobbyist for McLean, Va.-based Hilton, is pushing for a simpler system to verify the legal status of workers, and a boost in H-2b visas for non-farm seasonal employees that is now capped at 66,000. Neihardt is urging the changes be made before the economy improves.
"We're anticipating when things get better we'll need more of those types of workers," Neihardt said.
The political giving by J.W. Marriott Jr. this year includes $53,100 to Republican Party committees and candidates, compared with $9,600 to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
"Like the wide scope of views in both parties, his contribution decisions are not solely made based on the issue of immigration, but on a range of issues," Thomas Marder, a spokesman for the Bethesda, Md.-based company, said of his boss's donations.
Campaign contributions by political action committees at Marriott and other companies affected by immigration limits divided more evenly between the parties, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Marriott's PAC so far this cycle has given $171,300 to federal candidates, with 50 percent going to Republicans and 48 percent going to Democrats.
Hilton's PAC donated $69,260, with 51 percent given to Democrats and 40 percent to Republicans. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel's committee gave $279,300 to candidates, 57 percent to Democrats and 43 percent to Republicans. And Texas Instruments' committee donated $48,130 to candidates, with Republicans getting 52 percent and Democrats 48 percent.
Senate Democrats in April outlined a rewrite of immigration law that, along with pushing a crackdown on drugs and illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, proposed changes that included a pathway to permanent legal residency for some of the estimated 11 million undocumented workers in the country. It also called for a new three-year visa for temporary, low-skilled workers with an annual limit that adjusts with the economy, and immediate green cards for foreign students who get advanced degrees in engineering or math from a U.S. college.
The effort was hamstrung when Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stopped working with Democrats on a compromise, urging them to wait until 2011.
Smith said in an interview that while he would favor holding hearings about foreign worker visas and other immigration issues, he wants to draft legislation only on border security next year.
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the chamber's No. 2 Republican leader who worked with Democrats in 2007 on a comprehensive immigration bill that failed, said he won't support anything beyond border security until the fight against illegal immigration improves in parts of his state. Apprehensions in the Yuma sector dropped 94 percent over five years to 7,000 in 2009, signaling progress in stemming illegal crossings. Still, Kyl said, apprehensions "hovered" around 118,500 in the Tucson sector.
"There has to be more of an effort to actually secure the border — not just to spend money, not just to say we have more resources than ever before," he said in an interview.
Compounding the challenge for businesses is that next year's Senate may include tea party-backed Republicans who favor intensifying the illegal-immigration crackdown before grappling with related issues.
A key backer of insurgent candidates in the Republican primaries has been Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., a founder of the Senate's "Border Security and Enforcement First Caucus." He has shown a willingness to use delaying tactics to kill legislation he doesn't like.
"If Jim DeMint is king of the next Congress, that's not going to bode very well for immigration reform," said Tamar Jacoby, president of ImmigrationWorks USA, a business group pushing for revisions of immigration law.

Marlee Hightower
Marlee Hightower, age 15
From America's Got Talent, Season 5, Top 5, Marlee Hightower is the youngest member of the celebrated hip hop crew, Studio One Young Beast Society. At the tender age of 10, Marlee performed with Studio One, and the top 10 of America's Got Talent, on a 26 city national tour.
Studio One, was originally a traveling, audition-only competition dance team, from Orlando, Florida, comprised of all ages and ethnicities. They mixed street jazz, hip hop, and acrobatics, and won titles all over the country.
At age 8, Marlee made the team, and quickly became a mainstay in the group. In 2010, the team's coach, Julie Johnson, took the top 8 dancers from Studio One, ranging in age from 10-21, (4 boys and 4 girls, including Marlee) and formed the "Young Beast Society" -- a name coined by Marlee's dad. They went on to make America's Got Talent history, as the first dance group ever to make it to the top 48 -- and eventually the top 5.
The crew would appear on 9 shows, losing the top 4 spot, to blacklight performance group, Fighting Gravity. After being eliminated, Studio One was asked to remain an additional week, and close out the finale with one last performance. Then the winners were declared -- singer Michael Grimm, and runner up, 10 year old opera singer, Jackie Evancho. It was their highest rated season, to date.
It was on that show that Marlee met legendary dancer/choreographer, Brian Friedman. "Artists like Marlee don't come along very often! She is far beyond her age in terms of ability, and the truth is, she can out-dance most adults! I can't wait for the opportunity to work with this young BEAST again!" - Brian Friedman, The Pulse creative director, former artistic director for America's Got Talent and X-Factor/X-Factor UK
After the AGT tour, Marlee decided to try her hand at choreography. With the help of her parents, she made her first YouTube dance video -- a freestyle to Jesse J's "Do It Like A Dude". After the video received over 1 million views, promoters and studio owners began to take notice, requesting she come and teach class.
At age 11, Marlee began making solo appearances, on the World of Dance tour, as well as teaching workshops across the country.
Marlee took her first dance class at age 3. Fluent in all styles of hip hop, including popping, locking, waacking, and house, Marlee has been fortunate to train with some of the best, and most sought-after choreographers in the nation. Marlee has been awarded several scholarships, from local studios, as well as Monsters of Hip Hop, Broadway Dance Center NY, Young Lions Workshops, and The Pulse. Although she teaches, she continues to train, and evolve as a dancer.
In 2013, World of Dance nominated Marlee for, "Teen Choreographer of the Year", alongside Chachi Gonzales (IaMmE, ABDC 6) and powerhouse Kaelynn "Kay Kay" Gobert-Harris (8 Flavahz, ABDC 7, Usher).
2013 also marked the year Marlee signed with Bloc, a prestigious dance/talent agency in Los Angeles. Marlee has been blessed to work on several national commercials and videos for companies such as Samsung, Mattel, and Party City, and even landed a cameo in Pharrel William's star-studded "Happy" video.
Based in Orlando, Marlee spends part of the year in Los Angeles, working on new projects, taking class, and pursuing her latest artistic endeavor -- singing/songwriting. Coming from a family of singers and musicians, this is no surprise. Marlee is currently working with several producers, crafting her sound and brand, and hopes to release something later in the year.
In addition to singing and dancing, Marlee enjoys fashion, filmmaking, and photography -- taking inspiration from all things art.
In 2015, Marlee was offered her own show on the popular World of Dance Network, entitled "Under The Influence". This weekly web series highlights how music and art inspires dancers, creatives...and Marlee!

Lost Girls, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Melinda Gebbie (2006): Moore and partner Gebbie worked on Lost Girls for over a decade. The end result might be the oddest book of Moore's career. It's certainly the most pornographic, though 'meta-pornographic' might be a better word — this is an extremely graphic book of pornography that's about pornography, why people consume pornography, and the inter-relationship of fantasy and reality. I use the word 'pornography' rather than 'erotica' because it seems as if that's what Moore is aiming for here — even the poetic sections are pushed so far into the explicit and the purple of prose that the whole enterprise really seems to be about What Gets People Off.
Moore's over-riding conceit here is that three women whose adventures resemble 'real-world' versions of the fictional adventures of Wendy from Peter Pan, Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, meet as adults at a sexually exotic resort in Europe in the days leading up to World War One and proceed to have a variety of sexual adventures while also recounting their sexual histories, which themselves vaguely resemble the adventures of the fictional heroines, only without magic and with an awful lot of sex.
A couple of hundred pages of sex, primarily rendered in Gebbie's art-nouveau-influenced art, with periodic side-trips into imitations of various other illustrative styles. In the event you somehow miss the connections between 'real life' and fiction, most of the 30 or so chapters contain a full-page spread which makes the parallels between a sexual incident and an incident from the fictional adventures of one of the characters explicit in pretty much every meaning of that word.
Much of the hardcore material is somewhat undercut (or, to use a crappy lit-crit word, 'problematized') by several discussions of the relationship of pornography to the real world (fantasy, one character suggests, is in many cases never meant to be enacted in real life, and cannot thus be judged as if it were an idea about a 'real' incident. This commentary occurs during an orgy scene intercut with a particularly filthy bit of incest-pornography). In many ways, Moore has succeeded in doing for pornography what he did for superhero battles in Miracleman: he's pushed them logically to the point of fictional apocalypse while at the same time maintaining distance as a commentator throughout. Or, 'If this is what you like, what happens when we push it all the way to its logical conclusion?'
While it sometimes seems as if Moore has succeeded in creating the world's longest and most expensive Tijiuana Bible (and in a way he has), the super-saturation of sex scenes and the sheer wackiness of much of the conversation in the book makes it hard to take this seriously: it really seems more like a joke, despite the somewhat ham-handed epilogue that attempts to ground the book in the horrors of war. Or is that some sort of joke as well? Moore's such a cheeky bugger that it's impossible to figure him out sometimes. In any event, not for the squeamish or easily offended. Recommended.
The Cleft and Other Odd Tales by Gahan Wilson (1998): Gahan Wilson was the natural inheritor of Charles Addams' title as "world's most macabre popular cartoonist", and he wore that title well for decades. He was also a writer of short stories and an occasional movie reviewer; it's products of the former occupation that The Cleft collects. It's a dandy bunch of short stories, reminiscent of the sort of droll horror of writers like John Collier or Roald Dahl, with the added bonus of illustrations by Wilson for each story. The collection spans more than 30 years, but Wilson's narrative tone remains remarkably consistent throughout. You may not be scared by any of the offerings here, but as with Wilson's best cartoons, you will be disturbed even as you laugh or at least chuckle. Recommended.

Futures indicated a positive open for Wall Street on Tuesday, as the market had diverse reactions to two early economic reports
Futures had pared earlier gains following numbers from ADP that showed continued pressure on the jobs market. But those losses quickly reversed after the government said gross domestic product contracted at a slower pace than expected in the second quarter.
Early gains also were reflected in various commodities, particularly oil which rose nearly $1 a barrel.
In corporate news, Bank of America shares rose premarket after the company said it was selling long-term assets to Ameriprise for about $1 billion. Ameriprise shares rose more than 3 percent as well.
Goldman Sachs shares also were called a bit higher after both Bernstein and KBW raised their outlooks for the Wall Street titan.
Discovery Laboratories saw its shares surge more than 44 percent after the small-cap pharma said government regulators had agreed to the firm's plan to settle questions over its experimental lung drug.
No matter what happens on this final day of trading for September and the third quarter, it's clear that historical trends have taken frequent vacations over the past year as the markets plunged in the aftermath of the financial crisis and then staged a strong recovery since bottoming out in March.
The Dow, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq are all up strongly for September, traditionally the worst month of the year for stocks.
And the Dow may set an all time record for quarterly point gain: as of now, the Dow has a gain of 1295.20 for the quarter. The current record is 1338.81, set in the fourth quarter of 1998.
As of right now, both the Dow and the S&P 500 have their best percentage gains since that quarter, with the Nasdaq having its best percentage gain since the second quarter of 2003.
At 9:45 am New York time, the market will get the latest Chicago Purchasing Managers Index, forecast to come in at 52.5 for September, signaling a return to growth in the manufacturing sector — at least in the Chicago area. Last month, that figure was exactly at 50, the dividing line between growth and contraction.
And at 10:30 am New York time comes the Energy Department's weekly look at crude oil inventories.

Stephanie Sherman wins Virginia Space Grant Consortium Grant and Airport Cooperative Research Program Graduate Research Award
Update: Stephanie Sherman's work on air traffic management has won her a Virginia Space Grant Consortium graduate student research grant and an Airport Cooperative Research Program Graduate Research Award! Stephanie is working to develop a computational model of air traffic based upon a smoothed particle hydrodynamics-esque definition of aircraft interactions (like particle interactions in SPH). Through this approach, her tool will be able to model stochastic aircraft characteristics in addition to deterministic characteristics. Fundamentally, she is trying to provide a tool which can help address two important and challenging problems:
- Model aircraft interactions in a decentralized control scheme versus the current centralized control approach (e.g. the bulk of aircraft interactions being governed by instructions from air traffic controllers).
- Model manned and unmanned aircraft interact with non-deterministic factors (e.g. pilot skill, aircraft handling, etc…)
Both of these topics are of interest for study as part of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).

Our Firemen, The History of the NY Fire Departments
Chapter 57, Part III
By Holice and Debbie
On the thirty-first of July, 1973., a fire started in the cellar of No. 2349 Third Avenue, occupied by Rudolph and Fritz Andree, brother, Andree's wife, a servant girl, and two journeymen barbers. Rudolph and the wife of Fritz were abroad at the time. The journeymen and the servant had narrow escapes, one of the men having to cling to the window sill by his fingers until rescued. Evidence of incendiarism were found in different parts of the cellar and kitchen, and next day the brothers were arrested and held for examination by the fire marshal by justice McQuade, bail being fixed at two thousand dollars. They found bondsmen and submitted to examination, but were so frightened by the fire marshal's interrogatories that they absconded. A reward of two thousand dollars was offered for their arrest, and postal cards on which were their portraits, were sent to all the cities of the United States. Letters which were intercepted showed that they had fled to London, England, and that they were about to return to Prussia, their native land. The Berlin Police was warned, and they arrested the fugitives on the sixth of February, 1874. The State Department learned that, as they were Prussian subjects, they could not be extradited, but that they were amenable under an admirable German law for offenses committed beyond Prussian territory, and the evidence against them was asked for by the German government. In December Marshal Sheldon gave the German Consul general, Hirkel, in new York, exemplified copies of all the testimony, with diagrams of the premises tht were fired, and oil cans and other evidences of arson. In October, 1875, the prisoners were brought to the City Court of Berlin. Fritz Andree was convicted, and sent to prison for two years. Rudolph was placed under police surveillance After conviction, Fritz confessed that me committed the crime to obtain money by his insurance to send his homesick wife back to Germany.
Fire broke out on the twenty-ninth of December, 1873, in the cap manufactory of Julius Sarner, who was heavily insured. Sarner rated as a "suspect," on account of previous settlements of fire losses which were unsatisfactory to the underwriters. They endeavored to probe his operations, but no satisfactory evidence was obtained against him. Marshal Sheldon, after a patient investigation, laid the case before the Grand Jury, and in March, 1874, Sarner was indicted for perjury ins a sworn statement in regard to the value of his stock on hand, and the quantity and value of the goods which were burnt. Sarner's trial lasted from the fourteenth to the twenty-ninth of May, 1874. He was prosecuted by Daniel G. Rollins, assistant district attorney, and now surrogate of this county, and defended by Mr. James M. Smith. He was found guilty, and remanded for sentence. On the thirtieth of May he committed suicide by the Tombs by taking Paris green.
On the tenth of September, 1877, Ellen Carey, to gratify a hatred of Thomas Donnelly and his wife, who lived in a shanty hear that of her husband, a blaster, at One Hundred and Fortieth` Street and Tenth Avenue, made a clumsy attempt to burn them alive by kindling a fire outside the door of their hut, the only means of exit. She used blasting powder, kerosene, paper, and kindling wood. The powder blew the bonfire "every which way," and saved the lives of Donnelly and his wife. The evidence against the woman was complete. She was seen near the shanty of the Donnelly's shortly before the fire occurred, and among the rubbish was a piece of wall paper which contained powder such as her husband used. Mrs. Carey was sentenced to end of days in prison.
A large double tenement house at No. 11 Ludlow Street was on fire on the tenth of November, 1878. The flames originated in the apartment of Joseph Levy. The fire was typical of many which had occurred shortly before on the east side of the city, and the origin of them as pronounced incendiary, but the criminal or criminals could not be detected or traced. It was evident that an organized gang were at work to make money out of insurance companies, without any thought to the lives or property that were imperiled, and Charles H. Perley, of the fire marshal's office, and Foreman Dempsey, of Engine Company No. 9, had been detailed to watch certain suspected persons, among whom was Isaac Perlstein, Charles Bernstein , and Abraham D. Freeman. They were found to have a rendezvous in a beer saloon in East Broadway near Engine 9's quarters, and it was finally discovered that they worked for a clique of fire speculators, setting fire to such premises as were pointed out by those interested in the insurance. Evidences of their criminality were laid before the Assistant District Attorney Rollins, but he was not willing to risk the escape of such villains on secondary proof, and he urged the fire marshal to be patient. And instruct those who were watching the "fire bugs," to extreme but cautious vigilance. Then it happened that Dempsey and Perley followed them from their rendezvous, saw then enter No. 11 Ludlow Street, and Perley saw then enter Levy's room, and come out. A little later Levy's place was ablaze, and Perley, breaking into the room, helped to put out the fire. later in the night, Perlstein, Bernstein, Freeman, and Levy met at the beer saloon to curse the activity of the Fire Department, which had thwarted their plan. Two days after they were in jail on indictments, cursing their greed of gain. Judge Cowing sentenced Perlstein for life on the twenty-fifth of January, 1879, and Levy to the same living death on the tenth of June of that year. Judge Barrett passed like sentence on Freeman and Bernstein on the twenty-sixth of February, 1879. Cohen Davis, a lying witness, to prove an alibi for Freeman, was convicted of perjury, and on the eighteenth of March, 1879, was sent to state prison for seven years by Judge Gildersleeve. Mr. Daniel G. Rollins conducted the prosecution in each case. Many persons who should have shared the fate of the convicts fled to escape arrest. In the succeeding year the fires in the district in which the fire bugs, Perlstein, Bernstein & Co., operated, were one hundred less then the previous year, when they were at large, in spite of a general increase in fires throughout the city.
Late at night on the twenty-third of November, 1885, the seventy inmates of the double tenement house, No. 404 East Sixty-fourth Street, were aroused by a fast spreading fire, which had its origin in rooms on the second floor, occupied by Henry Kohout, his wife, and Edward Kohout. The fire went to the roof, destroying the two upper floors, and in the wreck were found the calcined bodies of Mary Fialia, a Bohemian widow, and her two children; many others in the house came near sharing their fate. The Kohouts were arrested on very direct evidence that liquid substance of an inflammable nature was used to favor the spread of the flames in their rooms and on the stairs. The motive for arson was discovered in policies of insurance for nine hundred dollars on property worth seventy-five dollars. The prisoners were indicted for murder and arson, and the intricate case, made doubly so by the language of the principal witness--Bohemians--was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Fitzgerald in a masterly manner. The woman was not pursued The men were convicted and sentenced for life by Recorder Smyth. They would have been hanged had any one been able to swear that the masses of charred flesh found in the ruins were the bodies of Mary Fialla and her children. the evidence which secured the conviction of the Kohouts was obtained by Captain John Gunner and Detective Campbell of the Twenty-eighth Precinct.
On March 25, 1886, fire was discovered in the basement of the tenement house, No. 528 West Thirty-ninth Street, occupied by John McGrath and wife, Mary, as a grocery and dwelling. The fire was discovered at 3:35 P. M.; the place was securely locked at the time. McGrath and his wife having left home early in the morning, previously announcing that they were going to Jersey. When the doors were broken open, fires were found burning tin different rooms, and evidences of incendiarism were discovered, consisting of kindling wood soaked with kerosene, and pieces of candle placed upon it. The contents were insured for one thousand dollars. The stock, upon examination, was found worth less then two hundred dollars.
McGrath and his wife returned that evening; were arrested; indicted on April 26 for arson in the second degree; tried and convicted before Judge Gildersleeve on July 15, 1886. McGrath was sentenced to ten years in states prison, and his wife to seven years in the penitentiary.
MECHANICS' No. 47, (which was also called Old Red Gal or Poultice Hose), had a famous fire dog--a big Newfoundland called Major. Major was said to have as much common sense as half a dozen bipeds. When the old bell used to ring for a fire the dog was as alert as any of the company. If, however, the bell did not strike exactly five or six (showing the alarm was in the district) he would not budge. His manner would say as plain as words "Nor this fire, some other fire." But when the exact strokes were heard Major was wild with impatience to be off with the boys. Once a member, a little the worse for liquor, fell asleep on the carriage. The gong pealed out six; every man was ready except the sleeper. Major seized him with his teeth as if to carry him off, but got no response. Then the intelligent animal gave the man a good shake, and rousing him to a sense of his duty, darted off with the company. Alas! Poor Major at last died of too much water. He had left No. 47 to take service with some one else, got caught in the mid somewhere out in New jersey, the tide came in, and he was drowned before his friends could reach him. He is no stuffed and in a glass case.
There are many interesting stories told about fire horses. Chief Bresnan had a horse auctioned off because of old age. After passing through several hands the old nag finally became the property of a "refuse" cartman. One day the cartman came to an engine house to take away the garbage, and had backed up to the pit in the rear. Suddenly the gong sounded for an alarm. The old fire horse pricked up his ears. The spirit of former days was awakened, his youth seamed to have returned, and he bounded away carrying with him part of the stairway and almost smashing the engine, which he encountered.
Another superannuated department horse was bought by a Williamsburg milkman. One day the man of milk and water was serving his customers at the corner of Houston Street and the Bowery, and the old horse was standing quietly, and perhaps sadly awaiting the ;"git up," of his new master. Presently a hubbub, a clatter and rattle, was heard in the neighborhood. Along the Bowery rushed a fire engine. The first glimpse the old horse got of the machine new life seemed to have been inspired into his bony carcass, and off he darted after the engine, with the milk cans clattering behind him. His master was breathless and perspiring freely when at last he caught up with the enthusiastic brute. The superannuated fire hose was standing contentedly in the full glare of the fire, seemingly under the impression that he had done his whole duty.
Engine Company No. 8, located in North Moore Street, had a remarkable horse, and wonderful stories are told of him. For instance, when he was thirsty and wanted a drink he would back out of his stall, go to the hydrant, turn the faucet with his mouth, and, after drinking, would turn the water off and return to his stall. He would catch in his mouth a handkerchief thrown into the air as it descended, and put I into the pocket of one of the member's coats. He would lift any leg called out to him, and go down on his knees as in the act of saying his prayers at the word of command.
That animal, it must be conceded, was pretty intelligent, but what will be said of the horse that Engine Company No. 17 rejoiced in the possession of. Here are some of the marvelous things he knew and would do: he knew the stations on which the company performs duty, he showed it in this way, it is said: whenever the gong sounded an alarm he ran to his place and snapped his pole-snap to a ring in a strap for that purpose. Upon the sounding of the gong for other stations striking more than two blows, if the man on house patrol did not stop him, he would pull the bunk-room gong, and as the men came tumbling down-stairs he would neigh with satisfaction at having turned them out of their beds. On returning from the hose to the stable, if he could get a broom he would sweep his stall or break the broom handle and throw it over the fence into the next yard. When he wanted a drink of water, he, too, knew hot to get it; he went to the watering trough, turned the faucet, and drank his fill; then, it is asserted, he would fill a pail with water and take it to the other horse, and after having finished, if not detected before, he would neigh to let his friends know what he had been up to. Smart horse, that.

Churches are closing every day. Beautiful, important communities that are desperately
needed in a world thirsty for Love and Light turn off the lights and close their doors.
Often it is at the end of a painful journey that began with a disagreement, maybe over the
meaning and intention of scripture, or culturally divisive issues, or it could just be about
who gets to pick the color of carpet.
When we love our theology more than our brothers and sisters we are usually left with
only two options: 1. Create increasingly larger, theologically monolithic and
homogeneous churches, or 2. Disintegrate, fracture and eventually close the doors and
lose relationship with each other.
For almost 10 years in The Refuge community, we have tried to practice a third option--a
Third Way--where instead of fighting for our positions or fleeing for the safe haven of a
group that looks, thinks, and believes like us--we live in the tension of our difference.
We are different, not divided.
It is not for the faint of heart, or those who have prioritized efficiency over relationships.
But it is an absolute requirement if you dream of a faith community that is zealous to live
out the dream and prayer of Jesus that we be unified and one body.

The Republic of San Marino is located in Southern Europe, surrounded by the Italian territory across the center-north Regions of Emilia Romagna (Province of Rimini) and Marche (Pesaro and Urbino). It is 61,19 square kilometers wide and has 32,821 inhabitants. The capital is San Marino City. The official language is Italian and the official currency is the Euro.
Political System
San Marino is a Presidential Republic.
Banking System
As of 31 December 2005, San Marino had 12 banks and 42 financial and trust companies.
Law no. 165 of 17 November 2005 (Law on Companies and Banking, Financial and Insurance, also known as "LISF") has introduced new provisions regulating all financial activities, requiring the authorization of the Central Bank in order to operate. Pursuant to LISF, brokers and intermediaries activities were aptly reorganized (they were not regulated until 2005), and such is the case of investment companies and insurance companies.
Central Bank
The Central Bank of the Republic of San Marino (CBSM) is a public-private entity. According to its Statute, CBSM has the following functions:
- banking, finance and insurance control, and investors protection;
- payment system administration, regulation and control;
- State and Public Entities treasury;
- State and Public Entities depository;
- overseeing local institutions dealing with international organizations, central banks, foreign financial regulators;
- statistical tasks on controlled counterparties, and their activities;
- issuing and handling public bonds;
- State advisor in economic matters, the financial sector and public finance.
CBSM is regulated by its founding law (Law no. 96 of 29 June 2005 – Statute of the Central Bank) and the Law on companies and Banking, Financial and Insurance (Law no. 165, November 17, 2005).
Law no. 83 of 27 June 2003 and Law no. 96/2005 led to the merger of <<Istituto di Credito Sammarinese>> with the Inspectorate for the Office of Banking. This integration incorporated the two institutions' functions into CBSM. Subsequent laws have expanded CBSM functions.
CBSM is a State controlled entity (the State control must be kept by law). San Marino banks, finance companies, and insurance companies can own a minority part of CBSM capital.
Tax System
San Marino tax system includes direct and indirect taxes. Individuals and legal entities are taxed pursuant to a general income tax (IGR), introduced in 1984 and reformed by Law 166 of 2013.
Individual Taxation
IGR taxes resident and non-residents individuals (for income generated in the State) and companies or similar entities.
Residents have to declare foreign income, even though these incomes are generally tax exempt. Individuals living in the State territory for most part of the financial year are considered residents, and so are individuals having in San Marino the center of their interests.
The 2013 tax reform allows to deduct domestic expenses for goods and services purchased in the State territory and regulated by electronic payment systems (up to € 9,000).
Partnerships are not taxable as their revenues are credited to shareholders for transparency reasons, without regard to the actual earning of such revenues.
Tax rates vary according to the following income ranges:
|Individual Tax
|Up to € 10,000
|From € 10,001 to € 18,000
|From € 18,001 to € 28,000
|From € 28,001 to € 38,000
|From € 38,001 to € 50,000
|From € 50,001 to € 65,000
|From € 65,001 to € 80,000
|Above € 80,000
In the years 2014-2017, entrepreneurs and professionals (including partnerships) are taxed with € 1,000 fixed amount, if subject to ordinary accounting system. Over the same years, entrepreneurs and professionals are taxed with a € 500 fix amount, if subject to a simplified accounting system.
If the previous year's turnover exceeds € 300,000, the tax is doubled. In 2016, it is expected that due tax rate will be 75% of the above mentioned amount, while in 2017 it is expected to decrease to 50%.
Company Taxation
Legal entities are IGR subject with a 17% rate. From 2010 on, IGR is also levied to banks and financial institutions. IGR tax is due by residents and non-residents for incomes earned through a San Marino permanent establishment. Legal entities are considered residents in case they have any registered office, or administrative branch, for the most part of the financial year in San Marino. Profits resulting from the annual balance sheet are considered the taxable income.
Tax reliefs, or in some particular conditions tax-exemptions, are granted to companies reinvesting their earnings or increasing their employees. Moreover, companies incorporated after 2 July, 2013, benefit from a six-year tax base reduction of 50%.
In the years 2014-2017, companies and other legal entities – as well as individual entrepreneurs – pay the special tax of € 2,000 (which is doubled if previous year's turnover exceeds € 300,000). Exceptions apply for cooperatives and non-profit organizations.
In addition to the 17% tax rate, San Marino companies pay:
- from 4% up to 5% of the total salaries paid to employees for Social Security;
- from 0.5% up to 4.5% of the total salaries paid to employees for the Unemployment Mutual Fund. The amount depends on company activities, and 0.5% of it is paid by employees;
- from 1.5% up to 4.5% of the total wages for the Wage Guarantee Fund, for specifically defined sectors.
San Marino tax law does not apply VAT. The existing taxation on Imports is considered having effects equivalent to VAT. In the year 2013, a tax reform was planned in order to replace this tax with a general tax on consumption (IGC), applicable to services, quite similar to the European VAT (art. 66 Law 174/2013).
Taxation of Trusts
In 2005, San Marino has been one of the first civil law countries to regulate the creation of trusts (Law 37/2005). San Marino trust law was reformed in 2010 (Law 1 March 2010, n. 42): trusts can be only established through a notarized public deed and registration at the local Registry of trusts. Since 2014, a Special Court for trust and fiduciary relations is in place. This Court was established in San Marino with the Constitutional Law 26 January 2012 n. 1.
Law n. 38 of 2005 applies a tax regime for trusts regulated by Republic of San Marino laws and run by authorized trustees. This law applies to resident trusts (i.e., to trusts run by at least one San Marino resident trustee) with no ongoing business, artistic or professional activities. Trusts are subject to tax (Law n. 38/2005). Tax return, liquidation and payment duties affect the trustee who is jointly responsible for the trust tax liability. Trust taxable income is 10% of the earnings from properties held in trust per each financial year, including income from San Marino real estates. Above described trust revenues are taxed with a 17% rate. Therefore, the actual real tax rate applied to trusts is 1.7%. The profitability coefficient is 50% when earnings, dividends or profits distributed by resident companies or other legal entities located in offshore countries with a privileged fiscal regime. Taxes paid abroad by a trustee on behalf of trust assets benefit from a tax credit. A 15% withholding tax is applied by the trustee on trust earnings distributed to non resident beneficiaries. Withholding tax exemption is provided for non resident beneficiaries disclosed to San Marino tax authorities. Transfers from settlor to trustee and from trust to beneficiaries are tax exempt. Within two months from the end of each financial year, the trustee has to disclose to San Marino tax authorities relevant trust beneficiaries, including personal data, citizenship and residence.
San Marino Law n. 47 of 2006 on companies regulates both partnerships (general partnership) and corporations (public limited companies and private limited companies).
San Marino sole proprietorship set up takes about 30 days, with the following procedures:
- Submission of the application form to San Marino Industry, Crafts and Commerce office, including required documents;
- Payment of € 110,00 licensing fee;
- Assignment of an Economic Operator Code by the San Marino Industry, Crafts and Commerce office;
- Within six months from the business license, further documentation regarding proof of residence and mandatory health certificates must be delivered to the San Marino Industry, Crafts and Commerce office.
Establishing a corporation (capital company) in San Marino requires a notary public act.
A company's minimum share capital is € 25,500 for private limited companies and € 77,000 for public limited companies. San Marino company law mandates that within sixty days from company incorporation, at least half of the share capital must be secured and cash contributions must be deposited in a San Marino bank account. For single-owned companies, all contributions must be made in cash and paid within sixty days from incorporation and registration.
Contributions' actual deposit must be confirmed by a company director's statement, also through a personal declaration (with the forms and subject to penalties provided by Article 3 of Law 21 October 1988 n. 105). The statement must be filed to San Marino Industry, Crafts and Commerce office within thirty days. Payment of all due contributions must be requested by directors and paid within three years from company incorporation.
Private limited companies with more than € 2 million turnover or more than € 77,000 share capital are required to appoint a Sole Auditor. Private limited companies with more than € 7.3 million turnover for two consecutive years are required to appoint a Board of Auditors, with at least three members. The majority of Board of Auditors members must be San Marino residents.
Pubic limited companies have to appoint a Sole Auditor. Public limited companies with more than € 7.3 million turnover for two consecutive years are required to appoint a Board of Auditors with at least three members. The majority of Board of Auditors members must be San Marino residents.
Incorporating a San Marino limited company has an average cost (deed, stamp duties, taxes and registration) of € 3,500 for private limited companies and € 5,000 for pubic limited companies.
Incorporating a company in San Marino requires the following steps:
- individuals and/or legal persons wishing to participate as partners should be considered "eligible"; eligibility is verified by submitting documents proving the integrity of the individual and/or legal entity;
- the company headquarter has to be established in the territory of San Marino;
- the company purpose must be lawful, possible and determined, and has to provide activities consistent with each other.
Company Shareholders and Directors
Shareholders, directors or members of the board of San Marino companies – resident or non resident – cannot conduct business if the following situations occur:
- conviction, in San Marino or abroad, with a sentence involving deprivation of liberty for more than 2 years;

These MotoGP racers are super humans!!! If you have been following the sport, you would know of uncountable stories of how riders suffering from injuries that may send shivers down normal peoples spine had gone through riding in the cut throat racing at the premier class suffering through acute pains and yet coming out triumphant with great race results.
If you were following the last MotoGP race at Le Mans two weeks ago, you would have read our story about how the factory Ducati team rider Andrea Iannone has suffered a dislocated shoulder after a crash during the second day of private testing at Mugello few days before the French GP. Iannone rode through acute pain throughout the Le Mans race weekend, surviving the pains through pain killers, and after everything, he finished a brilliant 5th showing just how incredibly strong the will to race these racers have.
Now, according to a Ducati Press release, tough times are not over for the Italian rider, as Doctors have found a hairline fracture in his funny bone, a rather disappointing development for Iannone as it means that he is again up for a pretty tough race weekend at Mugello and he again would have to grit his teeth and ride through pain.
Regarding the development Iannone has said, "For sure on Sunday I will race at Mugello but it's going to be difficult for me to be 100% fit. A couple of days ago I stopped taking pain-killers and yesterday I did an MRI scan. Unfortunately they found a hairline fracture at the tip of my funny bone, and to be sincere that was a bit of a nasty surprise. The swelling still causes me a lot of pain and I am continuing to do laser therapy in an attempt to get it to go down as soon as possible. In any case, I'll have to grit my teeth like I did at Le Mans, because it's far too important for me and for Ducati to have a good race in front of the Mugello fans."
Why would he even race you would ask now?? Because he is a racer, and that is how these beings are designed, That's Why!!

While recent surprise growth figures from the Office of National Statistics may have warmed sentiment on this side of the Atlantic, worries on the other side are only growing.
Stubbornly high unemployment figures of 9.6 per cent coupled with worse than predicted growth figures of 2.4 per cent GDP have led more US experts to bang the drum of deflation.
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis chief executive James Bullard warned this week that: "the US is closer to a Japanese-style [deflationary] outcome today than at any time in recent history".
Wells Fargo senior economist Mark Vitner agrees. He says: "We track a large number of inflation indicators and virtually all them are pointing to reduced inflationary pressures during the second half of this year.
"These inflation numbers leave little margin for error – if economic growth falters or there is some exogenous shock to the economy, persistent and troublesome deflation could become reality."
This economic uncertainty is reflected in the US dollar, which rose to a six-month high against the pound of $1.5969 this week.
Currently the US government is following in the footsteps of the British Government in forcing through austerity measures as the majority of the 50 states' budgets remain in significant deficit. The austerity measures are backed by the International Monetary Fund, which last week urged the US to continue with its attempts to curb spending.
Charles Schwab chief investment strategist Liz Ann Sonders says there aren't enough recent figures to assume deflation is coming to the US. She says deflation is just a market fear as yet, inflation will be low and corporate America's confidence will increase without further easing.
"The US is closer to a Japanese-style [deflationary] outcome today than at any time in recent history".
James Bullard
She says: "For what it's worth, I continue to have a more optimistic view on the economy than the consensus and if that translates to improving jobs numbers – especially if deflation risks subside and inflation concerns kick back in."
But Bullard says the US needs to stimulate the sluggish economy so as to encourage both individuals and businesses to spend more instead of crossing its fingers: "Hope is not a strategy…policymakers have to commit to new policy and the private sector has to believe the policymaker.
"The US economy is susceptible to negative shocks that may dampen inaction expectations. This could possibly push the economy into an unintended, low nominal interest rate steady state. Escape from such an outcome is problematic."
Nomura chief global economist Paul Sheard says the Federal Open Market Committee, the US version of the Monetary Policy Committee, will have to begin increasing rates "or at least to stop the passive contraction of its balance sheet", which are two of the three tools it has at its disposal.
The third tool, like the MPC, is quantitative easing. Bullard says: "On balance, the US quantitative easing [sic] program is the best tool". Ignis chief economist Stuart Thomson agrees, recently estimating that the US has to print as much as $2.5 trillion (£1.57 trillion) to get the US economy moving.
"If economic growth falters or there is some exogenous shock to the economy, persistent and troublesome deflation could become reality."
Mark Vitner
In the Federal Reserve's semi-annual report last month before a Senate committee, chairman Ben Bernanke admitted the outlook for the US economy was "unusually uncertain" and said interest rates will remain low for the medium term. But he said the FOMC was ready with "further policy actions" in an attempt to heal the US economy.
The US Fed releases its latest statement next week and may announce measures to fight deflation and stimulate the economy. This may come just at the right time for the UK, which is reliant on its trading partners on its left and its right to help it out of its own economic malaise.

PARIS — AS THE year comes to an end, so does my tenure of this space. I will continue writing in somewhat different formats, but this is a moment to look back and try to draw meaning from what we have experienced and then, in another column, try to look forward.
There has been a concrete sense in the last few years of a flood tide of history, bursting through a dam of fixed assumptions. That is normal; history never flows at a steady pace.
But neither do its cycles recur in precise pattern. There is also underlying movement responding to real changes in the way people live and think.

Japanese athletes won a total of 41 medals (12 gold, 8 silver, and 21 bronze) at the 2016 Summer Olympics held from August 5 to 21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This was Japan's biggest ever medal haul, topping the 38 won in London in 2012. Relive the key moments with the photos below.

Literature in the News: The Fifty Year Anniversary of Flannery O'Connor's Passing
3 comments:
Great story! I mustn't have gotten to that one in my reader yet. And thanks for remembering :)ReplyDelete
Long story short! Manny this is not easy stuff to read even for a guy like myself. Reading the last story, reminded me of a true story about, my blessed mother who was in a Saint Joseph hospital bed and a priest and myself were staring at her from the foot of her bed on a "Good Friday".ReplyDelete
My mother was in pain and was telling us so and we replied in so many kind words that "Jesus" had also suffered a lot of pain over two thousand years ago.
My mother replied in so many words that He never suffered anymore than she had suffered.
Some of the stuff that went through my mind was of her telling me stories of how mom and dad had to live on two dollars a month and how while dad was away, she had to keep the house warm for her children and one winter day she had to go out and cut wood while she was pregnant a year before I was born and the axe handle slipped and ruptured her and if I got "IT" right I later had an older brother that I never met who died at about six month old of pneumonia and I stop counting the times I heard in so many words that she continually prayed while she was pregnant with me that a better faith would be her reward.
While still at the end of my mothers bed, this priest was telling us that Mother Theresa was coming to visit our Holy Angel Church and forgive me but I literally thought that she was really coming to our church and when I looked this priest in the eyes, and said in so many French words with smiling eyes which meant, "Really?" He simply looked at me with an angry face and he must have been talking to my soul when he told me in a beastly voice not to be so silly because she was only coming in a video.
Longer story shorter, on that day, the angel of death must have felt sorry for all of US (usual sinners) and didn't take Mom until years later when she was 87 + and truth be known, I honestly believed that she chose to die at that time.
God Bless this lady's soul if only because you speak so highly about her writing. LOL :)
God Bless you and yours Manny

Same Day Dental Crowns
A Caring Dental Group has invested in state of the art technology that allows us to complete most of our crown treatments in just one day. Traditional dental crowns require at least two, sometimes three visits to complete. Not anymore! Our beautiful, all ceramic restorations are made right here in our office while you wait.
How Does it Work?
First, we prepare your tooth, removing all decay or damaged enamel that may need to be replaced. Then, instead of taking a gooey impression, we are able to scan the surface of your teeth with a 3D virtual impression tool.
Most visits would stop here, and have you return back in 2 weeks for the crown to be made at an off site lab, and then tried in once it arrives back at our office. However, our dentists combine the entire process into a single appointment.
The data taken with our scanner is then transferred into a piece of milling equipment in our in-house lab. We select a shade of ceramic that closely resembles the color of your natural teeth. Then, the milling machine crafts the porcelain to the precise shape and contour necessary as you sit back and relax.
Once it's ready, we will try the same day crown into your mouth to ensure optimal fit and comfort. Then, it is permanently bonded into place. Because there is no human error involved, these treatments have a very high success rate!
Traditional Porcelain
There are some situations where we may recommend a different type of crown, depending on your smile's needs. We're happy to discuss the advantages of each type of treatment during your consultation.
If you've recently had a root canal, a large cavity, or a broken filling – then you may need a crown to save your tooth. Call our office today to book an exam.
Are you missing a tooth? Perhaps you are missing multiple teeth. If so, a dental bridge could be a great option to restore your perfect smile.

We haven't been to the off leash dog park just down the road for many months, its just been too wet there, the one time we did venture there the mud was over the top of my gumboots in some spots, and it's a pretty crap place to go at the best of times anyway. But its passable for when I'm working night shift and haven't the energy to go far.
So, anyway. We popped down there 2 days ago and Pepper was doing the whole "zoomy zoomy" dog thing speeding around when "crrrrrack" she smacked right into a really big rock that was hidden in the long grass. It made such a sickening noise and she somersaulted twice and then started crying and wouldn't get up. As I ran over, oh god, all I could think was broken leg. Then she was up and not weight bearing. And then……. She ran off chasing another dog. Totally fine. I know she hit it hard but man she's a real drama queen. Way to give me a heart attack.
We've been exploring different beaches as because of daylight saving starting some of our usual ones are off limits during the day. Today we went to St Leonards Beach in Takapuna, it was gorgeous, we stayed for nearly 2hours cause there were heaps of other dogs that were good players.
And the long haul up the steps to get home.

Hi Denis,
I actually wonder if using the terms "science" and "history" in this context isn't - in the end analysis - anachronistic.
I'd offer the observation that what "pre-modern" societies do is tell stories - they don't do "science", and they don't record "history". And if one can escape the need to force Genesis into either category, then the result is very liberating. One can even begin to read Genesis theologically as per the entire point of the narrative!
Here I think much benefit might be gained from a familiarity with the field of ethnohistory - which discipline gives some interesting insights into the way non-Western and pre-modern societies deal with their past. It's on my list of subjects to get around to "one day."
Actually, as I think about it, this might be more or less another way of putting your entreaty of "Separate, don't conflate", viz; if one can discriminate between "history", "science", and "story" -- where "story" is a way of conveying meaning (theological meaning in the case of Genesis) -- then one is, I think, well on the way to resolving the "problem" which arises in light of our modernist inability to see that there is more than one way of conveying spiritual truth.

It is a great time to buy despite the recent negativity surrounding the housing and financial markets. If you can buy, then now is probably the best time to buy. Generally since 2007, considered the height of the market, houses prices have fallen approximately 15% to 20% with the UK average house price at £226,887 (June 2012, BBC News) and the Yorkshire & Humberside average at £151,236 (June 2012, BBC News). It remains a buyers' market, although the numbers of buyers are low. Buyers can still grab a bargain. The question remains, as a buyer where do you start?
