God is Love.
"'The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.....forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.'" Exodus 34:6,7b (NRSV)
These words are reiterated in Psalm 103:8 and Jonah 4:2.
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might." Deuteronomy 6:5 (NRSV)
"Moreover, the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so that you will love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul, in order that you may live." Deuteronomy 30:6 (NRSV)
Many statements like these in the Old Testament are followed by threats of punishment.
These are qualifications which have been added on to the statements of God's love.
An example of this practice appears in the New Testament.
In Luke 14 the story of the wedding banquet stops after the multitudes attend the banquet.
In Matthew 22, however, there is an additional section in which a man not having an appropriate wedding garment is cast into the outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This clearly demonstrates that additions of punishment were added to some sections of the Bible.
The Law of the Old Testament is telling Israel how to live in the world.
It enjoins them to live honestly, truthfully, and with love and compassion for their fellow human beings.
This is the spirit of the Law which came from God through Moses' heart.
It is a manifestation of God's love for the world.

Couldn't sleep last night, on very low dose NRT and just having a bit of a rough day.
Was out at clients and busy last to days so think it is probably just that I have too much time to think.
Also feeling very bloated and scared about weight gain, but really don't want to go back to smoking.
Congrats to everyone on here, you are all so brave, hope I can make it, loving not smelling of smoke all the time and my skin feels better and lips are less dry already!

What Is The Directory Structure On Virtual Servers?
When your virtual server is created, it has the directory structure shown below for your server platform. Please do not delete any of the folders listed here.
- On every platform, when you connect to your site over FTP, you access your FTP (virtual) root. However, when you connect to your site over HTTP (browse), you access your web root (\htdocs). As a security measure, anything above \htdocs (or on the same level) is not visible from a browser.
- Your web root (\htdocs) is also an application root (approot) for your site.
- The content of your site must be located under the /htdocs directory . You can create any number of sub-directories under /htdocs for additional HTML documents, scripts, images, and so on. Remember, the browsable content of your pages must be in the /htdocs directory, or in any sub-directory under /htdocs.

If you are near Foley, Alabama this weekend, you must stop by the 6th Annual Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival. From June 18 to the 20th, you can see over 45 of these brilliantly colored hot air balloons against the bright blue Alabama sky.
At night, see them lit up as they float through the sky. There is so much to see around the festival besides the balloons. Listen to some great bands, check out the children's village and visit the arts and crafts booths. We have been attending the balloon festival for the past three years and my children are always amazed by the majestic balloons floating through the sky. Not on the Gulf Coast? Hot Air Balloon has listings for hot air balloon festivals all over the world.
Have you ever been to a balloon festival? Which one?

However the house does not have central heating installed so my question is do we NEED central heating in a house during winter?
The house is located in Kokkino Chorio and after asking the estate agent they replied as follows:
Definitely you will need some heating in the winter that's why the house offers a sufficient stove that works with wood and Aircon for hot and cold. The houses have a great finish and insulation so you will not have a problem even the winter time there. Just for your record the second house is rented for four years now so definitely you could be settled there.
What say you?
Is central heating a must have?
Thank you.

Michigan (2-0), which lost to Boston (0-2) at home in each of the last two seasons, held the Terriers to the second-lowest point total by a Wolverines opponent since they beat Wisconsin 51-39 in 1999. With Michigan ahead by five, Brian Macon hit a 3-pointer to bring the Terriers within 48-46 with 13.2 seconds remaining. Horton then hit two free throws to make it a two-possession game.

Turn Any Room into a Home Theater
It's easy to think that you have to have an extra room to properly create a home theater, but in reality you just need a fresh coat of paint and some wall sconces (and of course the right equipment) to get the cineplex feel.
Electronic House has a great list of the ten things you can easily do feel like your in a movie theater right at home. Our fave tips:
Go dark. No, don't turn off the lights, but rather paint the room a dark, rich color like burgundy or navy blue. Since light doesn't reflect off dark hues as much as it does light tones, content displayed on your TV or projected onto a screen will look that much better.
Hide A/V equipment. Put all your gear in an entertainment center, closet, or utility room and use an RF remote to control your peripherals.
Create stadium seating. Electronic House suggests building a riser that has two steps that are each six inches high, with the top step built with a platform at least six feet deep to accomodate chairs.

Angelina Jolie has always come off as a tough cookie, a woman who really could care less if the whole country was snickering about her right leg for over a week now. Sources say surprise, surprise -- that's a complete facade. She's actually "horrified" about how she -- and her leg, of course -- came off on the Oscars red carpet, according to British magazine Closer. But is she shouldering the blame for that sky-high slit? Hell no, she's blaming her stylist!
The Closer source reveals, "She pays her stylist Jen a lot of money to pick things that will make her look drop-dead gorgeous, but she felt the dress swallowed her up and she had to stick her leg or it looked like she was wearing a bin bag. Now she's being laughed at when she's worked so hard on her look. She feels like a joke and is worried her reputation may have taken a hit." Oh good GRIEF! If this is true, someone (hey, Jen Aniston, you game?) really needs to knock Angie down a peg -- or 100!
To be honest, I don't want to point the finger at Angie alone. What is with these stars who think they can just wait until the last minute to pick a gown for the biggest event of the year (just watch Rachel Zoe's show and you know that it happens every time!) and sling mud at their hard-working, crazed, likely underpaid-for-the-crap-they-put-up-with stylists? It's silly -- style is so personal. Sure, you can pay someone to help you, to pull beautiful gowns and offer you options, but ultimately, even the creme de la creme of Hollywood stars needs to use her brain to make sure the dress she chooses is the one.
Which leads me to this: If Angie really had "worked on her look," she would have taken an active role in choosing her dress. If she had given it the test-drive an Oscar gown deserves before making its grand appearance, she would have realized it was a taunting Twitter trend in the making. Duh. I mean, I know she's a busy mom to six kids, a UN ambassador, Brad Pitt's lover, and an actress-turned-director, but the woman could have and should have found it in her schedule to try on her Oscar dress. That's all I'm sayin'.
Check out this video with more details ...
Do you agree that it's wrong for Angie to blame her stylist?

Anthony Bourdain Cooks With QOTSA
The chef talks about this week's episode of 'No Reservations,' featuring the desert rockers.
Anthony Bourdain, host of the Travel Channel's No Reservations and author of the legendary culinary memoir Kitchen Confidential, is an unabashed music fan — even writing about it in the pages of SPIN. But the subject permeates this week's episode of No Reservations like never before: Bourdain headed to the California desert to spend a week with Josh Homme and Queens of the Stone Age in their studio, Rancho de la Luna.
Even more amazing: Homme wrote the score for the episode. "Make sure you watch the show on TV with good speakers, because everyone was ecstatically happy with the post-production sound mix that they just finished," Bourdain tells SPIN. Here's what else he had to say about the shoot.
You normally don't spend an entire episode with one specific person, so what was the impetus to do an entire episode in the desert with Josh and his band?
Anthony Bourdain: What it comes down to is: You're lucky enough to know Josh Homme, you're kind of always looking for an opportunity. I guess I was waiting for the point that we had enough juice that we could pretty much do whatever the fuck we wanted, and do a show that's skewed toward the musical side, as this was going to be.
How much did you get to see of their creative process?
We hung out with the guys for a few days, watching how they make music. It's a very unique style; it's a very unique setting. I mean, it doesn't look like any studio I've ever seen. Somebody's working on a mixing board, somebody's playing and somebody else is cooking, all in the same room. It's kind of awesome. I admire Josh a lot because, in his career, he's pretty much avoided the usual routes and has embarked on one collaboration after another with people who he likes to hang out. In my own small way, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm working with people that I admire, who I like being around, who do interesting things. There are few better examples than Josh Homme.
You spent last week's episode with Ferran Adria, one of the best chefs in the world. What's the comparison between that sort of artistry and what Josh does?
Ferran Adria has created flavors and experiences at a table. He's created a space, an environment, and a series of processes that lead to flavors and sensations. It's not that different from what a musician does. They get out there; they're making lasting things in a collaborative process like cooking. Often with one person leading the way but a collaborative process nonetheless. I'm not a musician. I like music a lot, and over the course of making this show I've met a lot of interesting people. Given the opportunity to learn something and experience something like how they make music at Rancho de la Luna — hey, cool. Plus, I just like Josh a lot. We had a lot of fun. We even had a near-bar fight.
On that note, what are some of your favorite moments from the episode that you can share a little bit about without giving too much away?
Just everybody cooking, you know. Eating at Lord Fletcher's, which is a restaurant that appeals to an older demographic, sort of an Old English style steakhouse, a steak and roast beef place in Palm Springs. Mostly ancient golfers patronize the place, but this is the sort of place Josh grew up around. You know, the day he graduated from grammar school or high school, that's the sort of place that he'd go. So that was kind of kooky seeing where Josh grew up, and seeing how much it's a part of the music. A lot of people, they grow up outside of a big city and then they want to run away and get to the big city and stay there and never come back. He's still living and working very close to where he grew up and his family.
Arctic Monkeys, or any of those bands that go out there to work on a record with him, come back with a new little glint in their eye about how to do things differently, to make music off the grid.
We shot at this saloon up there, Pappy & Harriett's, and apparently Arctic Monkeys played there. It's a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere. It's not a venue that you'd expect Arctic Monkeys to play. But apparently a lot of bands have played there when they're recording. Josh warns them: 'You'd better be good because they don't give a shit who you are up here. Be good and be different than the band that was on before you.'" They've got a very low tolerance for bullshit out there. As does Josh. It's another world, let's put it that way.
How were their culinary skills, as a band?
They're good. It's funny; they all had their different styles. Dave has got a whole kind of New Orleans thing going, he spent a lot of time there. Josh is really into food. He cooks pretty well. He certainly knows his food. Hutch: Excellent cook. Did some slow barbecue. Everybody had a specialty. I'm finding this more and more: people who you'd never expect to be sophisticated about food often turn out to be. They cook a lot out there; it's a big part of their day-to-day. And they do drink a lot of tequila. It's just truly un-fucking-believable how much tequila they drink at that place. There's an entire tree on the property stacked up with Patrón bottles. It's truly terrifying.
You've gone on some trips where there have been some pretty boozy moments in different parts of the world. How do they rank on that scale?
They drink a lot of tequila. They seem to drink it all night. And I don't recall ever seeing any of them physically drunk.
They're big dudes. Josh looks like a football player when you really break it down.
When he gets those hands around your neck, that's a place you don't want to be. I may or may not have seen that.
Will that be in the episode?
Unfortunately not.
You did a great column for our punk issue a couple of years ago, and you've written a ton about music, especially in New York City. What to you is the biggest difference between music created in this urban, decaying atmosphere versus a remote, desolate place like where Queens of the Stone Age work?
I don't know. I think its interesting to note that if you look at all the musicians who have gone through that studio, they're from a lot of different places. There's just no common denominator other than a respect for other creative people and a desire to do something different than what everybody else is doing. There's no shared worldview or wardrobe, you know what I mean? It couldn't be more different than the New York punk scene.
What other stuff are you listening to these days?
Josh turned me on to Mark Lanegan's solo work. I'm just fucking loving that. I'm late to the party, which often happens. I'm currently obsessed with the Danger Mouse/Daniele Luppi album, Rome, I think is amazing. The Gorillaz record with Bobby Womack on it. Anybody who puts Bobby Womack on a record is a hero to me. Kanye West's "Monster," I'm loving. Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Virgin Atlantic Cargo reported annual revenues for the 2009/10 financial year of '161 million from the carriage of 194,000 tons of airfreight on the Virgin Atlantic Airlines and V Australia networks.
John Lloyd, Director of Virgin Cargo, commented;
'The air cargo industry has never seen a dip like the one experienced in 2008/9. We were quick to take action and as a result, although our revenues and tonnage declined 19% and 6% respectively, we managed our way through the downturn far better than most other carriers and suffered considerably less impact.
'This result was achieved by undertaking difficult but necessary cost control measures, the rationalisation of capacity in the marketplace, and improved conditions in quarters three and four, particularly pre-Christmas and from the Far East.'
In the first quarter of the new financial year Virgin Atlantic Cargo has seen substantial growth in revenues of over 36%, driven by a 25% increase in tonnage. The airline has also seen healthy yield improvement in the first few months of 2010/11, reflecting the total airfreight market.
John Lloyd warned however that the recovery could be destabilised by excess capacity in the market;
'The challenge now, with capacity rising again in many markets, is to ensure the industry maintains and builds upon this demand by taking sensible decisions on capacity.'
Virgin Atlantic Cargo expects a series of factors to contribute to growth in 2010/11, including V Australia's increased flying programme, an upturn in volume and yields to and from its markets in the Americas and Caribbean, Africa, India, the UAE, Asia and Australia, and improvements in revenue management operations.

The Best Baby In The World (And Her Schizo Dad)
Sorry if my blog posts about The Rozzle have been a little...waffling lately. No, really: I look back at recent posts about her, and I go from pulling my hair out in October to singing her praises in December to gasping for aid at New Year's...all of that must seem like, okay, dude, what the FUCK?!? So, please: accept my apologies. Because, of course, I now need to tell you about the best baby in the world.
The best baby in the world goes to bed at 6:00pm, and sleeps for 12 hours. If - IF - she wakes up at night, she soothes herself back to sleep. Tess & I were sick this last weekend, and the best baby not only slept for 12 hours, but after *first* breakfasts, went BACK to sleep and let US sleep in until we had to go wake HER up at a quarter past eight.
The best baby in the world goes to daycare for the first time and immediately falls for Peyton, a smallish 10-month old who takes great pride in showin' Roz the ropes. "Hey, new girl...check THIS shit out!" (Proceeds to crawl circles around best baby, who watches with equal parts glee and awe.) The only time the best baby cried her first day at daycare...was when Mom showed up to collect her.
The best baby in the world goes on an avocado strike, which is tough because it was one of the few foods we'd started her on, but then makes up for it by taking not only to acorn squash (sort of a given), but ALSO green beans. Mmmm, green beans, cooked & pureed by Dad himself. With love. Er...sort of. Anywho, now that she's past her 6-month mark she gets to move on to a whole NEW batch of foods. Well, as soon as I can figure out how to cook a peach, that is.
The best baby in the world is a joy to play with, replacing that OLD model who you just wanted to go back to sleep so she'd quit the fucking crying, already. The best baby interacts, chews, chortles, and engages in all manner of silly behaviour. She's like a puppy, only...y'know, BETTER. And the best baby is game for most anything: today she let us stuff her into the poofiest Anne Geddes-esque snowsuit imaginable in order for me to drag her to the post office so I could mail out my recent batch of eBay swag.
Basically, that's where we stand. I am in, as author Armin Brott so succinctly puts it, the "honeymoon phase" of babyhood. Hope it lasts.

Parthiv century boosts Gujarat
Gujarat 287 for 3 (Parthiv 109*, Rao 68*) v Odisha
Parthiv Patel hit his 21st first-class century to lead a strong Gujarat batting performance against Odisha in Ahmedabad. Choosing to bat, Gujarat were given a 54-run partnership upfront by Samit Gohel and Priyank Panchal before the duo departed in successive overs. Bhargav Merai and Parthiv took over from the openers and added another 84. Jayanta Behera gave Odisha the breakthrough, removing Merai for 45 to take his second wicket but Gujarat were to put together a bigger, unbeaten partnership now. Venugopal Rao joined Parthiv and their 141-run association carried Gujarat to 287 for 3 by stumps. Parthiv hit 11 fours in his 109 while Rao was batting on 68.
Jharkhand 233 for 5 (Nemat 85, Jaggi 52) v Vidarbha
Bottom-placed Jharkhand plodded to 233 for 5 against Vidarbha in Jamshedpur after choosing to bat. Rameez Nemat made 85 from 221 balls at the top of the order after Shrikant Wagh sent back Subroto Ghosh for a duck. Even as Nemat held one end up, Jharkhand kept losing wickets to the offspinner Akshay Wakhare just as partnerships developed. Wakhare first ran out Bhavik Thaker after a 91-run stand with Nemat and then removed Saurabh Tiwary for 10. Nemat and Ishank Jaggi, who made a brisk fifty, steadied the innings from 116 for 3 but Wakhare removed both batsmen in quick succession. Jharkhand were in trouble at 186 for 5 but captain Shahbaz Nadeem stroked an unbeaten 37 to keep Vidarbha at bay.

Text: John 6: 1-15, 25-35, 41-69 (the Bread of Life)
Today's long reading from the Gospel of John begins with the familiar story of Jesus feeding 5,000 people with a few loaves and fishes.
As is common, John adds more to the story than do the other three Gospel writers. He follows the feeding of the five thousand with a set of speeches by Jesus that connect that miraculous feeding to the sacrament of communion.
John alone tells us that the occasion of the miraculous feeding was Passover, which is also when Jesus' crucifixion will later occur. John alone has Jesus saying that he is the Bread of Life and that eating his flesh and blood is the only way to have life.
The chapter is filled with metaphors, claims, counter-claims, questions and puzzling responses. I imagine that at least some of us here today could relate to the following statement found in the reading: "Many of his disciples, when they heard Jesus, said, 'This is a hard teaching; who can listen to it?'"
In puzzling over this chapter this week, the phrase "the plain teaching of Scripture" came to mind. This phrase is often used by conservative Christians when arguing that tough questions can be answered by a simple reading of the Bible: perhaps the idea that only those who believe in Jesus Christ will be saved, as our reading today might imply; or that homosexuality is always a sin; or that women should not assume leadership in families or in churches.
Like many liberal Christians, I don't subscribe to the idea that tough questions can be answered simply by reading passages in the Bible. There are several reasons for adopting this attitude: the awareness that the Bible is a human product; that it was written over hundreds of years by scores of different authors; that some texts contradict others; and that it is often filled with metaphors, which makes Scripture more like poetry than a set of legal documents.
Some conservative Christians may be moving closer this attitude towards the Bible as well. I wondered about this when I read this week that Canada's Christian and Missionary Alliance Church reversed its opposition to women in ministry at its General Assembly meeting in Winnipeg last month. From now on, women as well as men will be ordained to ministry within the Alliance Church, as has been the case in the United Church since 1936.
The Alliance Church is smaller than the United Church, but the Alliance congregations in Coronach and Assiniboia are two of the biggest in our area. I am pleased that after years of debate and prayer their Church has come to this decision, and I hope that it will be welcomed in all parts of the denomination.
Equality between men and women remains a hot topic in some parts of the world. For instance, a lot has been made of the fact that the current Olympic Games in London is the first one where all national delegations include at least one female athlete. Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar have finally agreed to allow women to compete despite religious objections.
In Canada almost all of us accept the equality of men and women. But despite the legal equality now enjoyed by women in Canada, some Christian churches, including the largest one, the Roman Catholic Church, continue to discriminate against women when it comes to ministry. Such churches usually justify this stance because of the "plain teaching of Scripture."
Indeed, there are places in the Bible where a text plainly says that women should not lead in church. The most notorious is First Timothy: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety."
There you have it: clear direction from Holy Scripture that women should submit to men. Except, what if one responds to such a text by saying, "So?" To treat such a text as more authoritative than the other means we use to understand the roles of women and men such as personal experience, social and cultural development, and scientific knowledge is to treat the books of the Bible as an idol in my opinion.
I don't know the details of the discussion in the Alliance General Assembly this summer, but I imagine that its decision on women in ministry might change the attitudes of some people within the Alliance Church towards the Bible.
Nor is the Alliance Church the only denomination changing its mind. Last year, the largest Lutheran denomination in Canada voted to allow openly gay and lesbian people to become ministers as did the Presbyterian churches in the United States and Scotland. Many here will remember how that issue divided the United Church in the 1980s. But a generation later, issues relating to sexuality are relatively uncontroversial among us.
Conservatives warn that ignoring texts like First Timothy on the role of women puts a church on a slippery slope that lead to heresy. I partly agree with them. But I believe that the slippery slope is a gracious one that can lead a church to greater hospitality and openness.
I am not suggesting that the Alliance Church will soon follow the United Church and some Anglican, Presbyterian and Lutheran denominations down this gracious slope to offer full acceptance to gay, lesbian or queer people, though I would be thrilled if that were to happen. I do believe that by turning its back on the "plain teaching" of texts like First Timothy on the role of women, the Alliance Church has taken a step away from a narrow focus on the words of Scripture. The words in the Bible, after all, are not God. They are just tools that we use in our own stumbling ways to try and point to the God who is Love.
Which leads me back to today's thick and difficult reading from John. What might it all mean? Several times in it, Jesus says that belief in him leads to eternal life. But what does eternal life mean? Is it a quality that we briefly taste when, with Grace, we stumble into a moment without ego? Is it a guarantee that our egos and all their selfish desires will live forever in heaven. And what about the big majority of people who have never heard of Jesus? Can they not achieve eternal life?
In our reading, why does Jesus both repeat the graphic images of eating his flesh and blood and then also say that it is God's Spirit that gives life and that the flesh is of no avail? Also, why does Jesus urge us to believe in him on the one hand and then on the other remind us that no one can come to him unless God draws them forward? One could go on.
Well, whatever treasures and lessons this chapter contains, one thing I would never do is describe its teachings as plain. But despite not having any definitive conclusions, I will close with a few impressions.
I love Jesus' image of the Bread of Life. I appreciate the graphic nature of his words about eating his flesh and blood, despite the disquiet this causes to many of his disciples. I am also reassured when Jesus reminds us that all of life depends on God's Spirit. I am aware that the text might be interpreted as making belief a requirement for salvation. But I am pleased that Jesus counters that interpretation by saying that no one can come to him unless God the Father draws one forward. Here, Jesus reminds us of Grace.
Our reading today is the only place in John where Jesus talks about Holy Communion. Unlike Matthew, Mark, and Luke, John does not show Jesus instituting a sacrament of communion with his disciples on the night of his betrayal. As such, this seemed like an appropriate text for us to hear before communion today.
Communion symbolizes many things: the death and resurrection of Jesus, our physical and spiritual incorporation into God through an act of eating and drinking; and our status as recipients of the gift of eternal life.
In order for us to better grasp the concept of eternal life, we rely upon prayer, worship, service to the community, rituals like communion, and the many pain- and grace-filled experiences of our lives.
Knowing in our guts what Jesus means by the gift of eternal life sometimes comes in rare moments of awareness. Such moments do not happen every time we pray, every time we serve our family or neighbours in love, or every time we take the bread and cup. But such moments do occur; moments when we know with full confidence that we are of God and that God lives within us. Moments when the simple and everyday links up with eternity.
We cannot force such moments of union to happen. But Jesus assures us that God's Spirit continually draws us towards life eternal through Christ Jesus.
Jesus is the Bread of Life. Let us taste this truth again and remind ourselves not only in words but in our guts and our hearts that we are all part of God's eternity.
Thanks be to God.

NAOCS is the conservative alternative for seniors. Membership in this great American conservative organization for seniors is free and includes many exclusive benefits, services, and senior citizen programs.
Three top Republican senators are scheduled to meet Tuesday with Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, as Rice continues to be discussed as one of the top candidates to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when Clinton steps down next year.
Rice, after facing intense Republican scrutiny and criticism for her initial comments on the deadly attack in September on a U.S. consulate in Libya, is expected to meet with Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
McCain and Ayotte told Fox News that Rice had requested the meeting.
Ayotte said she isn't sure if the discussion will stick to Libya, but she thinks this could help her reassess her reservations about Rice as President Obama's potential secretary of state nominee.
Clinton has said she will step down as soon as her replacement is ready. Rice and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., have been the top names discussed for the job.
McCain, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, has demanded Rice be held accountable for her public explanation of events following the fatal Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. He wouldn't say Monday whether she could allay his concerns.
"I'm not going to go into the whole tick tock, but it's clear what my concerns are," he told Fox News. "She told the American people things that were patently untrue … As I said at the time people don't go to demonstrations with mortars and rocket propelled grenades."
Rice, while making the rounds on five Sunday show appearances Sept. 16, five days after the attacks, said they were "spontaneous" violence that seemed to grow out of a protest of an anti-Islamic video. But further scrutiny revealed no evidence of a protest outside the consulate on the night of the attacks, and U.S. intelligence officials later said it appeared to be a pre-planned terrorist attack.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed. A local Libyan extremist group that sympathizes with Al Qaeda is suspected of carrying out the attack, though it remains unclear how much planning was involved and how much the anti-Islam video served as a motivating factor.
Rice has said only that she was working off talking points given to her.
She said on Wednesday that she had "great respect" for McCain and his service to the country and that she looks forward to discussing with him the entire issue, including some "unfounded" statements he made about her.
McCain, who vowed to block any attempt to appoint Rice as the next secretary of state, hinted Sunday that he might be moving away from his hard-line approach.
"She deserves the ability and the opportunity to explain herself," he told "Fox News Sunday." "She's not the problem. The problem is the president."
Fox News' John Brandt and Chad Pergram contributed to this report.

Looks like Avril Lavigne has finally met her match. The divorced pop star and her new man, Brody Jenner, were knocking back Jägermeister shots at Bank nightclub at Bellagio in Vegas Sunday night. A spy told us, "Lavigne and Jenner were having a blast. They were taking shots with friends including Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, grabbing the microphone, shouting, 'Jager shots' and making the crowd go wild." Lavigne later grabbed the mike and shouted, "I love you, Brody!" Then the two broke out singing the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling."
Lavigne & Jenner a good match

Next season's roster of arm candy is mighty fine. Some might even call it next-level in terms of creativity (ahem, Karl). Which is why AnOther Magazine created this amazing illustrated guide to the fall '14 runway's most talked about bags.
It can seem like a small detail, but how one carries one's handbag can have a key effect on a look. In March 2012, we highlighted the clutch-bag trend, where women off and on the catwalk were holding their carryalls under their arms. Now, we are faced with a number of bag-holding options from designers. Always here to give you a (chic) helping hand, we're presenting our definitive How To Hold Your Bag Next Season guide, with illustrations courtesy of Tom Baxter.

Above my crafting area I have a decorative IKEA shelf I hung up a while ago. Instead of being decorative, I needed it to become more practical. Here is how I did it...
I used 22 g wire that I had laying around in my drawer, but the thicker the gauge the better.
I then strung some metal paper clips through the wire, only hooking up one of it's arms.
Took the wire and wrapped it tightly around the shelf using some pliers.
Bent the wire end up, so that I could easily access it if I need to add more clips.
And there you have an organized stamp line... now I can actually see what I have with just a glance. I love how it turned out!
Happy organizing everyone!

In Darwin's anniversary year, flora of Galapagos gets a boost
Invasive alien species are one of the biggest threats to biodiversity in Galapagos. Over 1000 plant and animal species have been introduced by humans since the islands were first colonized, either intentionally or accidentally. Of the 800 introduced plants, more than 50% were introduced because of their ornamental value, and have been planted in gardens throughout the islands; some of these species have already become highly invasive, others have the potential to do so, particularly in light of climate change.
In the fight against against invasive species we not only need to control species that are already a problem, but we also need to prevent new invasions occurring. One way to help is to reduce the number of invasive exotic species being planted as ornamentals.
Galapagos has a diverse and beautiful native flora, comprising 500 native species of which 180 are found nowhere else in the world. Many of the unique species are suitable for gardens, with attractive foliage, flowers and fruit.
The ¨Siémbrame en tu jardín¨ project was initiated in 2007 and is part of a larger program on the prevention, control and eradication of introduced species run by the Charles Darwin Foundation. Rather than providing another set of rules and regulations, the project provides positive leadership for the conservation and protection of the islands, by employing a team of local people who run several nurseries and care for gardens, encouraging people to help the sustainable development of Galapagos by replacing introduced garden plants with native and endemic species in their gardens.
The newest product of the project is a beautifully illustrated guide book on the native plants of Galapagos that are suitable for gardens. The book is the first manual in Spanish on plants in Galapagos, and the first book written specifically for the community to help inspire them in the use of native species in their gardens.
The book provides simple information about each plant species, such as whether it is native or endemic, where it can be found, whether it grows on the coast or in the highlands, its growth form, and its use in the garden. Each species is richly illustrated with photos for the easy identification of the plant, and to inspire the reader to chose from the varied flora of Galapagos for their garden.

I've placed the comment "When we move away from 5.8, perhaps replace this with given/when" several times at $WORK. It took us quite a number of years to move away from 5.8.5 (and we're still trailing a couple of releases). But now, it won't make sense to use given/when, if it may change in the future. But someone is going to use given/when at some point in time, putting another hurdle for an upgrade to 5.18 or beyond (whenever that may be). (If you hire more than a handful of new devs each month, someone will not have gotten the memo). Turning on warnings for using a construct more than *five* years after it was introduced doesn't make Perl win any brownie points for an outsider (yes, I understand the reasons, and no, I don't have a better solution).

The Law Officer's Pocket Manual - Bloomberg BNA
This handy 4" x 6" spiral-bound manual offers examples showing how rules are...
A suspect is in custody after shots were fired at an Atlanta-area elementary school Tuesday, the school chief told CBS News. There are no reports of injuries, and all students and teachers are accounted for and safe.
Television footage showed students being evacuated from Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, a few miles east of Atlanta, and sitting outside in a field about 1:30 p.m. School buses were being brought in to take children to their parents at a nearby Wal-Mart.
Numerous police responded to the school, including SWAT. DeKalb County School Superintendent Michael Thurmond said the suspect is a man in his mid-20s and didn't have an obvious connection to the school.
WSB TV-2 Action News reports that the alleged gunman entered the school and talked to a clerk. The man, who was dressed in black and had an AK-47, surrendered peacefully after being confronted by police officers.
Greg @ 8/21/2013 5:35 AM
Had an AK47, eh? Full auto weapon? OK, then it wasn't full auto, but it sure sounds scarier and makes for a better "crisis". Sure makes for better press to push for gun control...and Obama is planning on hitting Atlanta and what a surprisingly convenient thing to happen.Not a conspiracy theory person, but some of these shootings are way too convenient.Thank god for a brave woman at the school.
Chief B @ 8/22/2013 7:04 AM
"Shots fired"? surrendered peacefully? Who fired the shots??? I heard there was NO shots fired. I also heard the 500 rounds were in his car.

Authenticating to Member Servers without being Prompted
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
By Garry Goodwin
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 21 Jun 2006
Our configuration is as follows:
- eDirectory and Active Directory synchronized with DirXML Username; groups and passwords are correctly synchronized.
- Two Domain Controllers and several 2000/2003 member servers, all joined to AD.
- Workstations have Novell Client installed and using Dynamic Local Users to ensure local XP username and Novell username are the same.
Our goal is to have workstations authenticate to Member servers without being prompted for a username and password.
Currently workstations authenticate to Domain Controllers with no problem since there is no local SAM database. However, when a user attempts to authenticate to a member server, they are prompted for a username / password and must key "ad\username" and password.
Is there something we can change on our Member servers so by default they treat usernames coming from non-AD workstations as AD accounts? We're aware that simply joining those workstations to AD would solve this problem, but would prefer not to go that route.
I have done this migration several times; it's relatively straightforward.
As you already have the eDir + AD sync working, it is simply a case ofjoining the workstations to the domain and then disabling your DLU policy. This is the best-practice approach.
If you are worried about the effort of joining the workstation to the domain, don't ... a simple batch file using the NETDOM utility can be deployed via a logon script or ZENworks.
To make things smoother, you can force a registry key to the workstations to require the default domain to be the AD domain. It will currently be the local workstation where you are using DLU. (HKLM/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/Current Version/Winlogon/defaultdomain)
If you are using roaming profiles, the move will be 100% seamless to the user. If you are not, then you should enable this beforehand to save users from losing all their personal app preferences when you cut over.
