The Reality of Decision-Making
Some proposed definitions of decision-making experts described as follows (Hasan, 2004):
1. According to George R. Terry
Decision making is the selection of alternative behavior (behavior) of certain of two or more alternatives.
2. According S.P. Siagian
Decision making is a systematic approach to the nature of the alternatives they face and take appropriate action according to the calculations is the most appropriate action.
3. According to James A.F. Stoner
Decision making is a process used to choose an action as a way of solving the problem. Notions of the above decision, it can be concluded that decision making is a process of selecting the best alternative from several alternatives systematically to follow up (used) as a way of solving the problem
4. According Sondang P. Siagian was quoted as saying by the GK. Manila in his book Management Practices in State Government, there four models of decision making that is:
a. Model optimization. Decision-making in order to obtain results which can be achieved and can not be separated from the limited resources no. This model is based on the maximum criteria,
probability, and benefits.
b. Models satisfying. Decision making is not solely through rationality and logic approach procedure but in reality, so that decision makers are satisfied with and proud when decisions taken are adequate to fruition.
c. Mixed scanning models. Decision-making that incorporates Among high rationality approach with a pragmatic approach.
d. Heuristic models. Decision making based on concepts entirely ynag held by decision makers that is based on his own views on the problem at hand.
While Bedjo Siswanto in his book Modern Management said there are two models of decision making that often there within the organization, namely:
a. Normative model, which is a model of decision making embody the manager about how he should take a group decision. These models have generally been developed by economists and other management scientists. One example of this model in educational institutions is about financial budgeting.
b. Descriptive models, ie models that explain the decision-making concrete behavior and this model has been developed by behavioral scientists Opinion for this article : I think the decision-
making must consider what will be decided to achieve maximum results as what is already
planned and could possibly reduce the risk of the impact of the decision-making.

Vandals, Thugs, Idiots & Creative People (oh, and Dragonflies!)
S P Oldham
I have had a lousy week, blighted by gangs of thug kids, threatening and anti-social behaviour and to top it off, a grown man throwing a brick through my living room window. Why? You may well ask. I wish I knew. To say I have been a bit fed up is an understatement.
So it was especially lovely to meet a gentleman by the name of Damien this morning, over the Park. He had what he described as 'just a cheap little camera' with which he often takes photos of nature. When I met him he was trying to capture a large dragonfly - there are loads over by the ponds.
We got chatting and it turns out he is an artist and sculptor. He uses natural materials for his resources. He is asking permission from the park warden to use a fallen branch off one of the trees, and he plans to turn it into a model of the dragonfly, complete with working parts! He has also been working on an 'Indian Headdress' he is making from the various feathers he finds scattered around. He does local watercolours and painted a dragon fly on a lily in the pond just recently.
It was so lovely to meet someone who has a passion and respect for nature and the local area. He moved here for reasons of ill health and so far is finding the air agrees with him! I am hoping to bump into him from time to time. I will suggest he join the group if he interested, and keep you posted on his work - he has hopes for holding a local exhibition soon.
Just thought it was a nice little tale to relate. Not horror related in any way I realise, though my thoughts at 2 am Monday morning were all horrified, but that's another story....
Happy Friday all! Here's to a peaceful weekend...

Egg Sharing
Compensated Egg Sharing Programme
A way to reduce the cost of IVF/ICSI treatment:
One of the ways of helping to reduce the cost of your IVF/ICSI treatment is through our Egg Sharing Programme. On the attached price list you will see a fixed price for this treatment option, the "egg sharing arrangement fee", which is substantially lower than the cost of standard IVF/ICSI. The charge listed covers both treatment and drugs. In return, you would have to agree to share the eggs collected from you in that cycle, with a woman who requires egg donation (the recipient).
For a woman to be considered for the Egg Sharing Programme she has to be less than 36 years of age with no personal or family history of inherited illnesses or abnormalities. She will be seen by a doctor and a specialist nurse for assessment, and she will also have independent counselling. The response to any previous fertility treatment she may have had, and the result of hormonal tests (AMH) will be reviewed before deciding on suitability.
The AMH reading should be within normal limits and a scan of the ovary should show normal activity. The GP will be contacted via the patient for details about medical and family history. Those patients who are adopted will need to give details of their biological parent's family history background as far back as their grandparents.
Prior to treatment she will be screened for Hepatitis B and C, HIV (the Aids virus), Syphilis, Cystic Fibrosis, Chromosomes, CMV, Rubella and Chlamydia antibodies.
Please note, that you would need to pay for the chromosome and cystic fibrosis analysis, which is currently approximately £380, and can take about 6-12 weeks to get a result. If the result is normal, and you are suitable to be an egg donor, then this money will be deducted from your egg sharing arrangement fee.
Egg Sharing Arrangements
- The woman sharing your eggs will remain anonymous and you will not be given any details about her or her treatment and its initial outcome. You will also be anonymous the recipient. However, you will be entitled to find out if any children have been born as a result of your donation; including the number of children, their sex and the year of their birth.
- Any child born as a result of donor gametes has a right to be informed, on reaching 18 years of age, of the identity of the gamete donor.
- If you get 8 eggs or more, you will share them equally with the recipient. If you get an even number, each one of you will get half the eggs. If you get an odd number, you will get the extra egg. The recipient will never be given more of your eggs than you get yourself.
Note: If both you and the recipient are having ICSI treatment, you will receive at least 3 eggs for ICSI injection.
- If you get less than 8 eggs, you will keep them all yourself and have your treatment as planned.
- According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, you will not be the legal parent of any child resulting from your donated eggs.
- You will be required to have counselling about the implications of the proposed treatment.
- You can withdraw from the egg sharing arrangement at any time up to the point where embryos created from your eggs are to be transferred to the recipient. If you withdraw consent you would then have to pay the standard fees for IVF/ICSI and the costs involved in preparing the recipient. You would not be reimbursed the sharing arrangement fee.
Please note: your treatment can only go ahead if a matching patient who requires egg donation is ready to start her treatment. This means that you may need to wait for a variable period of time until such a person is available.
Alternative Options: Another way of paying for your treatment is to pay in full. In such cases you keep all your eggs for yourself and you do not have to wait for the availability of a suitable recipient.

Expendables 3 producer Boaz Davidson revealed the film's official roster of cast members last week, with the new additions including Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson as the big baddie who squares off against Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and their rowdy pack of craggy-faced, gun-toting "boys." Sorry to say, the lineup announcement seemed to prompt as much disappointment as it did excitement among fans, coming after multiple reports that pointed to people such as Jackie Chan and Milla Jovovich joining the fun too - not to mention, we had expected both Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis to return (neither actor is coming back, it seems).
Life goes on, as they say, and now the third Expendables installment has begun principal photography in Bulgaria, with Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) calling the shots. Lionsgate and Millennium Films have released the customary press release to mark the occasion, which means we now have both the finalized cast rundown and an official synopsis for Sly and company's latest tongue-in-cheek R-Rated action throwback.
Here is the official plot summary:
In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables' most personal battle yet.
"New blood," in this case, refers to Kellan Lutz (Immortals), MMA star Ronda Rousey, welterweight boxing champion Victor Ortiz and lesser-known Glen Powell (The Dark Knight Rises). The spotlight will remain focused on Sly and his main team members - which again includes Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li - as well as their old-timer acquaintances (see: Arnold Schwarzenegger). Nonetheless, it sounds as though the younger cast additions will be given a better chance to shine that Liam Hemsworth got when he served as the
Red Shirt "new blood" featured in Expendables 2.
Speaking of which: the inclusion of Snipes and Gibson is welcome; indeed, Gibson as the Expendables co-founder back-from-the-dead sounds like a recipe for good hammy fun (it's also somewhat appropriate meta-casting). That said, it would also be nice if the writing - not just the casting - for Expendables 3 ends up marking an improvement over the previous films. Mind you, that doesn't mean we're expecting some thematically-rich story, but the best pure action throwbacks made in recent memory - such as director Walter Hill's Bullet to the Head (headlined by Sly) - are self-aware, yet not so much as to detract from the straight-faced lunk-headed entertainment value offered by the action B-movie format (which is a problem in the first two Expendables movies).
Stallone co-wrote the Expendables 3 script with Katrin Benedikt and Creighton Rothenberger, who re-captured and updated the bliss of patriotic machismo fare from the '90s earlier this year with their script for Olympus Has Fallen (a.k.a. the "Die Hard in the White House" thriller which is headlined by Gerard Butler, as opposed to the Channing Tatum version) - so, that's encouraging to know.
Similarly, Hughes has shown real promise with his earlier feature-length work - as well as with short films like "Signs" (watch it HERE) - so that bodes well, with regard to the prospect that Expendables 3 will deliver the goods. That is, beyond the simple nostalgic joy of getting to watch so many action icons share the screen and blow up people/buildings to smithereens together.
Do you approve of the final cast and behind-the-scenes talent assembled for The Expendables 3?
The Expendables 3 opens in theaters on August 15th, 2014.

So, sitting in the dentist chair I was able to listen to Obama's live speech regarding Father's Day...
I am very happy that this is an issue being brought up (and hopefully will continue to be as he said).
There are plenty of really awesome dads out there, I just didn't have one of those myself, but I was fortunate enough to have my uncles.
Only 1 out of my class has an active father who lives at home. When I was starting out with Special Ed, we learned that 90% of relationships end when there is a child who has a disability...that's an old statistic, so I hope it's changed.

Driving home all the cars were slowing on the highway and driving in the middle of the road...and then I see why.
It was like a massacre...15 geese just shredded on the road...it must have just happened. Babies, tweens, adults, it looked like the whole gaggle...and then further down the road there were 8 more running in a line as fast on the grass as they could away from the scene.
It was very very sad.

Going to California ~ Led Zep of course!!!
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

I made another friend. I don't have a name, so I need help! A fat fat raccoon that sits in the parking lot! One of the guys in my class offered to bring in a groundhog from his own backyard to disect, and I just glared at him. WTF? Nevermind your precious grass, they're awesome!
ugh...so I almost got KILLED today by some bitch with mega mega road rage...Mercedes SUV. I didn't even DO anything, I would def see if I cut her off or something, but I just pulled up behind her at a red light and she started honking! I thouhgt it was at the person in front of her - she started to go and stop short, go and stop short, and I still thought it was the person in front she was mad at!!! Drove through a stop sign, and pulled over, so as I turned the corner to get on the highway she followed me like...an inch from my bumper so I had to start speeding!!! I felt so bad for the guy in front of me, and the one in back who she nearly killed trying to get in back of me!!! After almost running me over, she cut over 3 lanes of traffic to get to the next highway, almost (and hopefully not) causing another accident!!! I was shaking so much, it was so bad. What was her problem? She could have killed herself, other people on the road, or me. Coming back from class I saw the same type of car and color with a woman driver pulled over on the same highway...I hope it was her. bitch.
When's father's day? I can never remember.
haha yesterday in lab, this girl in my group a year out of high school had the best come-on line for this guy in our group who i think's 3-5 years older than me...I almost cracked up, but she's like "you look JUST like my old boss - I used to have suuuuch a crush on him! omg you must be twins or something except i think he's like...10 years older and Dominican (he's Brazilian)?!" oh, I don't think she knows he's married (or at least doesn't care)...our lab group's pretty spread out in terms of age, which is nice...and it's really nice not to be in class with 20-30 year olds that just have babies on the brain!
LOTR looks sooooo great on this tv, but that scene with the king jumping off the cliff? is still VERY unnecessary!!!!

Well...QC final transcript in...my lowest grade was a B- and that was the semester Jackie died and had a real shitty professor who decided to run a mock-NCIS in the classroom the DAY of the class that she forced me to miss the wake.
Anyway...it's nice that's done. done. yay.
My A&P prof wants to lenghen class by 10-20 minutes everynight...we gave a unanimous NO. I'm glad she's enthusiastic, but seriously!!!
I ♥ my fifth grade teachers, they surprised me with a lunch party yesterday for a graduation that I didn't really tell them about. It was really thoughtful of them. Switching grades is gonna suck.
Yeah, so first grade planning starts next week. I'm just going through the motions right now hoping something will open up magically over the summer. A lot of teachers are really really trying to make me like that class, or at least just do it to be employed, because it has been so crappy. Even that Starbucks job I've idolized (idealized?) for the past 10 years is hard to get right now. I feel spoiled. A lot of teachers would love that position. I just can't get over the age thing.
I miss Ragu II! I haven't seen him since last week! I think I scared him off encroaching on his home.
My kids got their awards today, but they were complaining about which ones they got, I almost took them back! See? This is why I don't mix with first grade!!! I'm a little harsh...anyway, those are some more pictures I have on my list to put on the computer!!! That and a video of "Imagine" which they all sung.
*ack!* Rescue Me is only 1/2 hour away!! I need to make food for tomorrow.

Why to Get Bosch Cordless Drill Batteries
There are many reasons to get replacement Bosch cordless drill battery. The obvious one is that your battery just go bad. Symptoms for this are that even after charging for hours, the batteries won't hold a charge. But before you run out and replace batteries that you think are just bad, consider that it may be a 'memory' issue.
Nickel Cadmium batteries tend to remember a lower capacity setting and don't retain a full charge over time. This usually happens as a result of recharging the batteries when they haven't been fully discharged.
To rectify this, try putting the suspicious battery in the freezer for about 4 hours. This will often erase the 'memory' and allow the battery to charge to its full capacity.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to just throw the battery away and replace it. The fact is, even the best batteries will only survive around 500 discharge/recharge cycles. That means that eventually, you'll have to buy some new Bosch cordless drill batteries - or whatever your drill happens to be.
Of course, other than a battery going bad, there are other reasons to have spare batteries on hand. For example, let's say you're screwing in a new deck. Further, let's say you're using 3" screws. That's going to put quite a strain on your batteries.
With today's quick charge chargers, if you have just 3 Bosch drill batteries you should be able to start out with 3 charged batteries and keep working non-stop all day long. When you discharge the first battery, start charging it right away.
By the time you discharge the second battery, the first probably won't be completely done, but at some point when using the 3rd battery, the first will be charged. You can then start to charge the second.
You will probably be able to keep that cycle going over and over again and stay moving all day long.
Bosch drill batteries are available as OEM replacements as well as third party, aftermarket parts.
Just make sure you buy high quality batteries. Otherwise you can damage your drill.

What is GeoMine?
GeoMine is an interactive web-based digital map of coal mining and reclamation activities in the United States. It is an ongoing effort to provide the best available data for surface coal operations in the United States. As state program data are created and made available the map is updated.p>
GeoMine is a web-based Viewer (GeoMine Viewer) developed by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) in collaboration with the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Army Corps of Engineers (ACE), and coal mining regulatory authorities in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. GeoMine supports the decision-making processes associated with surface coal mining activities by improving accessibility to data, improving the timely delivery of authoritative information, and enhancing understanding of geospatial data at various scales.
GeoMine creates seamless map layers of coal mining and reclamation activities across state boundaries. The map layers created by GeoMine include authoritative associated data, and for the seven SMCRA state layers and eleven Federal agency layers the GeoMine Viewer is a "one-stop-shop" for this unique collection of coal-mining-related data. GeoMine contributes coal mining-related data, but does not serve as the sole source of the host of data needed for CWA, SMCRA, and ESA determinations and decisions by the state and Federal agencies tasked with these responsibilities.

There were:
and I'm sure a heck of a lot listed in between....
If you want help perhaps you could name the County or Counties, and the general time period so people have a chance at identifying the "right" one. for instance when did "Benjamin and Hannah Williams in North Carolina at death" die, and where and at about what ages? And if they were there "at death" does that imply you know that they moved in from somewhere else?

"Today it is the Old Testament who suffers for the New one." Sœur Mirjam Else Michaelis (1899 – 1942, Auschwitz)
Can you imagine what might become of your life if you discovered you were Jewish? This happened to me at the age of seven when two Russian boys of my age were laughing at their companion calling him repeatedly "Jew", with the boy looking upset. I came home and asked my Mother what might it mean. She told me that I'm was a Jew, too, as she and as was my Father were. My father was an officer in the Red Army, who died with his battalion during the first two months of the war against the invading Nazi Germany (in that summer of 1941, I was just one year old).
The only thing I learned from this was that I'm also might be ridiculed one day as a Jew – and I decided that, if it would happen, I would fight with the scoffers for the dignity of my family. No explanations were given to me about who were Jews, what they did – good or bad or what might be the reasons of universal mockeries.
I didn't learn the answers to these natural questions for other fifteen to sixty years, with many of them being very difficult to bear. Thus, for example, a capable Polish Catholic Priest, elevated to Monseigneur by Saint John-Paul II, couldn't stand the relatively recent discovery that his parents were noble Polish persons who accepted the Jewish child from his Mother, she was arrested by the Nazis.
Edit Stein and Her Companions to the Auschwitz
But let us restrict ourselves here to the only one of Jewish paradoxes – the personal and eventually collective paradox of being both Jewish and Catholic.
Lifelong and cradle Catholic – the "adjectives" which are proper for very rare modern Jewish Catholics. Look, for example, at the biography of Edith Stein, the Jewish-Catholic martyr. Another modern Jewish-Christian martyr, Father Alexander Men of Russia, was happier: his Mother and her kind sister became Christians before he was born. Happier? At least he had no idea of hiding from Russian religious antisemites with axes who killed him, a 55 years old Russian Orthodox Priest, on September 9, 1990.
As to Edith Stein – Saint Sister Teresia Benedicta a Cruce – she escaped from German Nazis to a Covent in neutral Holland. Then Germany has invaded Holland, and when the Dutch bishops issued a pastoral letter protesting the deportation of the Jews and the expulsion of Jewish children from the Catholic school system, the Nazis arrested all 244 Holland Catholics (some of them German, hiding here) of Jewish extraction. Edith Stein, a 50 years old Catholic Sister, was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where she and others were murdered in gas chambers either a week later, or before the end of September 1942.
Among the fellow travelers of Edith Stein on her root to Auschwitz were sisters and brothers from the Jewish Löb family. Of eight kids Löb seven died as martyrs: three Trappistin Sisters – Hedwige (born 1908) and the twins Maria-Theresia and Veronica (1911), Trappist Fathers – Ignatius (1909) and Nivardus (1913), Trappist Brother Linus (1910), and layman Hans (1916).
The Christian Dignity of the Jew
The parents of the eight Löb children (the youngest, Paula, was the only survivor of the Nazi persecution), Ludwig Löb and Jansje van Gelder, Dutch Jews, embraced the Catholic faith together on October 10, 1906, just before their marriage. They died in peace, long before their children, in 1935 and 1938, aged 53 and 59.
Jansje Löb has always been committed to the ethical values of Jewry, and she suffered greatly when the Christians around her talked badly about Jews. Before the Holocaust, living peacefully in very tolerant Holland, she wrote:
If I had not been so convinced that I had found true faith, I would surely turn my back on the people who would have uttered such contemptuous words. These people who speak of the Jews know little about the Jewish people, their fidelity, their goodness, their common life and their cordial family relations. Since my time in the Catholic Church, I have missed all this – the overflowing humour and admirable hospitality. I have been so proud of all these qualities of Jewry, and here is how they are judged. Even though I belong to Jesus with all my heart and soul, I sympathise with my Jewish people. I remain in communion with my people, I would never betray my Jewish blood.
The Gift of Christian Solidarity
My respected German colleague, Carl Ludwig Siegel (1896-1981), not a Jew, has also "remained in communion with the Jewish people and never betrayed the Jewish blood". Siegel left definitely Nazi Germany for the USA in 1940: "I saw what the organised mob had done". After the German defeat, one of the greatest mathematicians of our time had been insistently invited to come back to his homeland.
Siegel returned in 1951, and in 1964 on the Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-University of Frankfurt where he gave a public talk about the history of the University. According to Siegel, it was his Jewish colleagues, outstanding German professionals, who made Mathematics great in Frankfurt and contributed do Siegel's human and professional development: Arthur Schoenflies, Max Dehn, Paul Epstein, Ernst Hellinger, Otto Szász. As to decent "arian" scientists helping their Jewish colleagues, as he himself persistently did, Siegel reminds us that "in those days people who were considered decent were in the minority, and it took courage to defy the national socialist despots".
Christian Dignity of the Founders of our Faith
Feelings of solidarity with one's family, with one's friends and colleagues, with one's people, with humanity, are the noble motives of human life. But to belong to Jesus with all heart and soul is the bond of supreme importance, which not only enlightens and elevates one's solidarity feelings and actions, but sometimes radically demands to abandon the real-life links with one's family, one's people, one's humanity – to follow and serve our Lord.
Carl Ludwig Siegel didn't abandon his homeland because of a few excellent Jewish colleagues, he faced an apparently more significant and profound appeal. Still, he cared about them and on an important occasion – the celebration of the "glory" of German sciences – he recounted the stories of its victims.
Not so obedient to his appeal, the Jewish prophet Jonah; he "made ready to flee to Tarshish, away from the Lord". As to Abraham, he left his grand family, his homeland, the total sphere of his human experience – to wander in foreign deserts, full of dangers and powerful predators, and to spread "the overflowing humour and admirable hospitality" which Jansje van Gelder Löb "had so missed" – only because our Lord demanded it :
Go forth from your land, your relatives, and from your father's house to a land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will find blessing in you.
In 1938, facing the Italian collection of Fascist Decrees connected with the racial laws, our Pope Pius XI received members of the Catholic Radio of Belgium on a pilgrimage to tell them:
Listen carefully. Abraham is definitely our Patriarch, our forbearer. Spiritually we are all Semites.
The Jewish and the Catholic Faith
Personally, I have never suffered from antisemitism more than I have suffered as a paternal orphan and dissident in Russia, or as an immigrant in Europe, or as a father of a family in danger.
I discovered the historical gravity on the anti-Jewish intimidation first in Israel, whose very existence became the monument to the Jewish obliteration in Europe, and later in France, where the Jewish Ashkenazi community was manifesting its WWII sufferings (Sephardic Jews appeared in France after the WWII invited honourably by the French government to escape the troubles of North-African revolutions).
And I have started to personally approach the Catholic Church during my secret pilgrimages in honour of my beloved Virgin Mary only because of the sincere, intelligent and profound ecclesial contritions – Saint John-Paul's II in the first place – for the historical errors of the treatment of Jews.
I love the Jews; they are my family. I deeply love Russia; my father died defending our homeland. I feel myself at home in France; the guest of Our Lady. I admire Canada; modest, courageous, hospitable. I believe in the high and noble world vocation of America. But my religion, first and foremost, is not about solidarity, it is about my origination from, my loving relationships with, and my service to the Almighty – to the Trinity of the Catholic Church and, in my particularly chivalrous case – to the Theotocos, the Mother of God.
As to the Church, it shares with me in the first place the gifts of Temple, Catholic Priesthood, Confessions, and Eucharist – coming from the Jewish tradition of direct communications with Almighty, the lost tradition which the today Jewry is praying about. Still, the solidarity comes next – the crucial part of our Catholic service.
Saint Joseph, our Heavenly Adoptive Jewish Father
"L'homme juste, qui portait en lui tout le patrimoine de l'Ancienne Alliance, a été aussi introduit dans le "commencement" de l'Alliance nouvelle et éternelle en Jésus Christ." Jean-Paul II Exhortation Apostolique Redemptoris Custos – Guadian of the Redeemer
The Patriarchal lineage of founders of our faith, from Abraham to Saint Joseph, is presented intentionally – "spiritually we are all Semites" – even if not very precisely, in the beginning of Saint Matthew's Gospel, the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
With Saint Joseph, we find ourselves outside the assumed understanding of the Jewish father of family – the intention and the idea of the divine blessing given to Abraham. Accompanying Mary-Theotokos, the Mother of God, Joseph shares with her the inexpressible and, in common life, extremely dangerous Miracle of the Immaculate Conception. He carries thus, successfully, all responsibility for the life and well-being of Mary and, later, her Son.
In that, Saint Joseph reverses Adam's sin, which was to share with Eve her sin, forgetting the forbidding Word our Lord and founding his family life on their mortal human "love". Saint Joseph shares with Mary the Blessing of Our Lord, following her step by step – she who has reversed the fault of Eve. Mary has accepted immediately this blessing after its short but precise and resolute "examination". This is why the Holy Family, penetrated by all human and divine love, is not based on what the world calls "amour" but on the loving, conceiving Word of our almighty Lord.
The evangelical silence of Saint Joseph is similar to the silence of our Father and His Servants, Angels: his service to our Lord – to happily bring to life and action the Redeemer – is absolute and thus hidden. Accepting to become a perfect father and husband, he accepted also to become the heavenly adoptive Jewish father of all of us, Catholics, whatever might be our origins or public state.
Saint Joseph should and will be the hero and pride of the Jewish people, too. Today he is my hero, my pride, and my guide and father.
Cuzco School, Escuela Cuzque ̃na, of Religious Art
The Spanish, after conquering in 1534 the Inca Empire, aspired to convert the Incas to Catholicism and sent a group of religious artists to Cusco, Peru. During 16th-18th centuries, the Escuela Cuzque ̃na produced many extraordinary religious images. Among them, the painting – for me, the icon – of Saint Joseph and the Christ Child.
The icon manifests Saint Joseph as a happy, intrepid young warrior and brilliant religious Master who guides his little Son toward a dignified, honest life of the Lord. Surprisingly for me, it is the first holy image, coming from the end of known to me world, which fully corresponds to my perception of the noble role of Saint Joseph – from the very beginning of the Gospel story to today.

No, doing that would require that XKMS included the WSSE schema which is not yet finished. There are two ways that we could go forward, one would be to put back the original any - which has problems (to say the least!) The other would be to define an extended form of KeyBinding that allowed a security token to be included. We should probaly consider this case carefully. I am not conviced that security reference is the way forward. I would prefer to index the objects that security reference can index, or more likely specify them directly. We should at any rate work out a mechanism that allows us to add an element into a key binding without having to rely on any or require us to redefine each of the derrived key binding types. I am somewhat unconvinced as to the applicability of the XKMS messages to non-PKI security tokens. Kerberos tickets are closely bound to the idea of key exchange (see my work on XKASS). Anything like a SAML token is at a layer where one would expect the management protocol to be able to rely on a PKI for authentication the lack of which (bootstrap problem) is a major constraint on XKRSS.

Downloaded from: http://apples4bookworms.blogspot.com/2013/07/ordinances-covenants-lesson-printable.html
This lesson goes with these two questions from the July outline:Why are ordinances important in my life?Why are covenants important in my life?You can download the booklet HERE or in Dropbox HERE
First we went over the difference btwn Ordinances and Covenants. All of the Ordinance page came from Handbook 2. I forgot to say that about the bottom part.
Then, I put them into groups. I put these pics face down and had a member of the group pick the picture. Then, they answered the questions on their page for their ordinance.{make sure you read the suggested lesson material so you are prepared to help with the answers! :)}Then, each group got up to share their answers. They put the pic on the chalkboard when they presented. Each girl in the group was able to give an answer and explain a couple questions. We would discuss as we go. Other groups fill in the answers as the other groups present/give answers. Keeps the girls engaged in the lesson and listening for the answers.
I also had these ordinances on the chalkboard too. But, didn't include them in the booklet since it's another lesson in itself. :)
Then, after we filled out the booklet with the groups presenting.I did this point from the lesson as my closing activity:
- Show a picture of the people of Ammon burying their weapons. Ask a young woman to briefly tell the story of the people of Ammon and the covenant they made (see Alma 53:10–18; 56:5–8). Why did the people choose to keep their covenants despite the danger they faced? How did their example influence their enemies? How did it influence their children? Invite each young woman to write on the board the name of a person who has taught her through example about keeping covenants. Ask her to share with the class what she learned from that person.
After some girls shared their person. I challenged them to be that person to someone else. Be the person they look up to for keeping their baptismal covenants by always having Christ's spirit to be with them.

Pirate Puppet Craft
Argh! September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and we've joined a handful of bloggers from all over the world in Pirate crafts and activities for kids. We made this Pirate Puppet craft using a cupcake liner and are ready for Pirate fun. So, Yo Ho Ho! Let's make Pirate Puppets!
Pirate Puppet Craft
This post contains affiliate links. We started with a few materials for our Pirate Puppet craft:
Poster Paint (in Black, White, and Yellow)
Red cupcake liner
A Jumbo Craft Stick
Black Permanent Marker
Cardstock (or construction paper) for the Pirate's face
Red cupcake liner
A Jumbo Craft Stick
Black Permanent Marker
Cardstock (or construction paper) for the Pirate's face
Start by painting most of the craft stick with poster paint. We love THIS BRAND for it's bold colors that dry brightly. Add a yellow strip or triangle-ish shape tot the top of the craft stick. The nice thing about this craft is that it doesn't have to be exact, let your child's imagination run wild with their Pirate's clothes and painting!
Allow the paint to dry while you create the puppet's head. Cut the Red cupcake liner in half to create the Pirate's hat. Cut the cardstock in half and glue the cupcake liner to the edge of the face.
Add block dots with the marker. You can also use washable markers! My 8 year old has a new-found love for permanent markers, though and was happy to make the dots with hers.
Add a Pirate-y smirk or angry face if you like.
We decided to add an eye patch, too.
Finally, tape the dry craft stick to the Pirate puppet's head. You will have to allow a couple of hours for the paint to dry, but then be sure to pretend play Pirate stories and Pirate jokes! Let us know id you make this craft. We would love to see your versions shared on our Facebook page.

text: Ok, finally I figured out a way to compile AVX instructions. But it is somewhat crooked. The old 'as' assembler in /usr/bin/as must be discarded and replaced by this script, that uses the clang assembler: #!/bin/sh HAS_INPUT_FILE=0 ARGS=$@ while [ $# -ne 0 ]; do ARG=$1 # Skip options if [ $ARG == "-arch" ] || [ $ARG == "-o" ]; then # Skip next token shift shift continue fi if [ `echo $ARG | head -c1` == "-" ]; then shift continue fi HAS_INPUT_FILE=1 break done if [ $HAS_INPUT_FILE -eq 1 ]; then clang -c -x assembler $ARGS else clang -c -x assembler $ARGS - fi Obviously, since this is a shell script, the assembly phase is slowed down. But it seems to work, at least it compiles AVX assembly properly (gcc-mp-4.5 avx.s works, and I have even recompiled gcc45 with the script as assembler). Well, I have filed a RADAR asking Apple to give us an assembler that supports AVX. We'll see. Cheers Vincent

The breaking news of the shootings at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church was one that I listened to and read about without allowing any of the sensationalism of a "breaking news story" to influence me. I did this by carefully listening to the first words of whatever coverage I heard and deciding quickly if I wanted to hear this particular representation of events or not.
In the last days, I watched part of a CNN interview with two of the friends of Tywanza Sanders and one with the best friend and daughter of the Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. The type of people that they were and the impact that they had on the lives of those who knew and loved them was summed up for me especially in the interview where the daughter spoke of her mother's teaching on giving people a second chance.
I don't believe being given a second chance will make any difference to Dylann Roof in the foreseeable time but my prayer is that it will be a need that instilled in his heart. That he will come to repent of his act of crime. So, that said I am joining my voice with that of the daughter of Sharonda Coleman-Singleton in choosing to love instead of hating this blinded young man.
What happens legally to him under the law will happen.
Life has taught me that a change of heart doesn't necessarily come about without some hard time in isolation. A type of isolation where a person is cut off from all that they knew and in this aloneness God can be truly heard if they listen. This is what I wish for him spiritually. Because this is what is dead inside of him and this deadness needs to be raised to life: hence, his second chance.
Sunday evening I read these online news stories:
'Hate Crime': A Mass Killing at a Historic Church
The Victims: 9 Were Slain At Charleston's Emanuel AME Church
The Cross and the Confederate Flag
I want to share with you a quote that Yoni Appelbaum included in his article "Why Is the Flag Still There?". It gives a perspective on the Confederate flag that Dylann Roof is holding in the photograph used in this article.
"Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention, a denomination birthed in defense of the rights of slaveholders in 1845, issued a remarkable plea:
"The symbol was used to enslave the little brothers and sisters of Jesus, to bomb little girls in church buildings, to terrorize preachers of the gospel and their families with burning crosses on front lawns by night….The cross and the Confederate flag cannot co-exist without one setting the other on fire….Let's take down that flag.""
On his blog Russell Moore goes on to say this: "That sort of symbolism is out of step with the justice of Jesus Christ. The cross and the Confederate flag cannot co-exist without one setting the other on fire."
I for one say that flag and what it represents has already been set on fire. I see the flames and smoke from here. The hearts of the people who would hold to this symbolism need to be burned with this as well.
In the end God's love will win.

Forex Trading Strategic Planning
The Pips Xpress is an exceptionally powerful and convenient to use trading EA based relating to changes in prices consistent with Parabolic Sar technical guage. By choosing which signal to trade, the Pips Xpress will routinely handle and complete the trade in your case. Pips Xpress will automatically offered and close the trade in your case once the settings are set by you.
At the beginning stage, most of the large companies would carry out their Forex trading via the different banks or even through the major institutes that deal with finances. These institutes had to be the ones that operate internationally. Forex trading has attracted a lot of popularity today because of the presence of modern technology. Via the use of the internet and the increasing telecom market, it is easier to spread messages and to bring across information on issues such as the economic polices worldwide. With the creation of the Forex Software that you can find on the internet, you will easily get the latest news about the Forex trading online. This has actually become a platform that facilitates the exchanges of trading since it makes it easy for you to seize opportunities on the spot and to implement your decisions immediately.
A simple search in Internet will result a wide list of brokerage companies existing all over the world. Study closely the websites of each of them, going through all terms and conditions. Pay attention to the fact if the company is registered, what deposit methods it provides, how much the minimum amount of investment is, how much the maximum leverage ratio is and a number of other details.
The best way to get educated about the forex market is a combination of both. Even when you are enrolled in a formal forex class, reading newspapers is a great way to keep updated about the market.
The old saying "the trend is your friend" is an old saying for an important reason; generally it is a true statement. While this statement is true it is also very general and vague and does not really tell you how to safely get aboard a strongly trending market without buying the top right before a correction or selling the bottom. Ideally as a forex trend trader you want to sell strength in a falling market and buy weakness in a rising market. There are specific and regularly repeating price action patters that often occur at perfectly opportune times for getting aboard a strong trend. In fact, more often than not market corrections conclude with a strong price action signal before resuming the dominant trend, givinh you a visual signal that is safe to get back into the trend.
At level above 70 and below 30, is evidently show an overbought and oversold marker condition. This gives trader an opportunity to trade when the RSI touches and bounce of the 70 and 30 levels. Trades can be executed when the currency price show a dip or surge, inline with the RSI, combined show strong momentum that the price will go up or down depending on the current trend direction.

Canadian police are investigating a possible hate crime after a man tried to cut the hijab off a young girl.
Khawlah Noman, 11, was walking to school with her brother in Toronto when they said a man came up behind her with scissors.
Miss Noman said she screamed and her assailant ran, only to return, pull off her hood and cut her hijab.
Police describe the attacker as Asian, 20-30 years old, between 5ft 7in and 5ft 8in, with a thin build.
The siblings said he had black hair with straight bangs to the eyebrows, a thin moustache and black prescription glasses.
He was described as wearing a black hooded sweater with the hood up, black pants and brown gloves.
Khawlah sent a message to her attacker during a press conference on Friday at Pauline Johnson Junior Public School,
"What you're doing is really wrong," the girl said, "you should not act like this, and especially, I'm a kid."
Khawlah said that she is now "actually really scared" to walk to school.
The incident has inspired an outpouring of support, including from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
He said: "My heart goes out to the young girl who was attacked, seemingly for her religion.
"I can't imagine how afraid she must have been.
"I want her and her family and her friends and community to know that that is not what Canada is."
Khawlah's mother told media the attack was "just not Canada."

Melle Mel and Grandmaster Flash were splitting The Furious Five and everything was up in the air, Scorpio put out a couple solo 12"s: "Black Shades," his Air Jordans song and this weird collaborative 12" with a new wave rock band called Mondo Boffo. I vaguely remember this song from back in '86 (I was awfully young), but I didn't realize it was an actual record, as opposed to a recruitment commercial. It's simply called "Marine," and yeah it's about wanting to join the marines. The band sing the "I wanna me a marine!" chorus and play all the instruments, while Scorpio provides all the substantive lyrics by way of his rap verses.
If you're a fan of 80s nostalgia, hoo boy, will this be right up your alley. It's damn catchy and kind of a weird hodge-podge of period styles. Electric guitars, funky percussion, old school rap and a chorus that songs like it could be an alternate theme song for the GI Joe cartoon. I can naturally see a lot of heads avoiding this - I was pretty wary myself - because it's a cheesy rock band rather than a proper hip-hop production. And I certainly wouldn't stand it up against the classic breakbeats. But for 86, it's as good as a lot of stuff MCs were rhyming over. These are at least talented musicians.
But, while the music is quite catchy like I said, the real reason to pay attention to it is the lyrics. It's not immediately obvious whether this is pro- or anti-military; it's fairly subversive. Until you pay attention to the raps, it sounds like pure propaganda. But then it gets muddier and realer. He actually comes off really nice on here - dare I say on par with "The Message?" Maybe not, but you can tell some of the same talent is behind the writing of both. At one point he raps,
"Lookin' in the mirror and I'm thinking real hard
About the situation, and about my job.
Puttin' on my uniform, doin' my part,
And helpin' out the brothers in Lebanon.
I wanna be the best that I can,
And get Reagan's guns out of Iran,
Libya and Afghanistan.
I wanna show the world that I am the man!"
But then he follows that up with,
"Come on, now, they make it look like fun:
When you're swinging from a tree, shootin' off your gun.
You won't get hurt; you're not the one;
You're just another dead American!
It only makes me wonder why
Our boys sign up to fight and die.
I have the make of a good GI;
I have to live my life before I die!"
It's kind of a good expression of the duality of everyone who considers joining up for the military, whether they do or don't. Sometimes he seems to be clearly warning listeners away, but other parts of the song seem like fun moments left in intentionally for marine audiences, like when the chorus joking switches out to "I wanna use the latrine!" for one bar. Indeed, any of the sentiment that suggests maybe it's not the ideal lifestyle seems like it's best appreciated by actual marines.
As you can see, this 12" comes in a colorful picture cover. It's an image from the song's music video, where the abstract graffiti is animated and created on-screen. There's a B-side version, called the Rock version (the A-side is specifically labelled the Rap one), without Scorpio. Instead, one of the rock guys half sings/ half raps Scorpio's verses. Obviously, he's not nearly as good, but the instrumental is entirely different, too, with some unique horns, totally different guitar tracks and even different drums. There's even a hint of kazoo, which ties it in to some other Furious Five cuts. It sounds like an entirely distinct, separate song, actually, until you realize all the lyrics are the same. So it's at least interesting.
The whole record is at least interesting. I'm not saying you should replace your copies of "Eric B Is President" or "Spoonin Rap" with it. It's obviously a pop rock song with rapping more than a proper hip-hop song; and to modern audiences, I'm sure it's especially corny. But it's still worth checking out, and maybe throwing it into your crates for cheap.

Desiree Lewis, '05, a first-grade teacher at Mellichamp Elementary School in Orangeburg, S.C., left today for the first leg of her journey to the West African country of Gambia to compete for the Miss Black USA title.
Lewis previously won the title of Miss Black Orangeburg before capturing the Miss Black South Carolina USA title.
She travels first to Washington, D.C., where she will meet her fellow contestants, and on Wednesday, May 23, they will board a chartered flight to Gambia. Then, on Friday, June 1, on African soil, a celebrity panel of judges will determine the winner of the 2007 Miss Black USA crown.
The celebrity panel of judges include Publisher John Blassingame of Today's Black Woman, Fashion Designer Chi-Chi E; President and CEO of MGM Mirage's New York-New York Hotel Resort and Casino Lorenzo Creighton; Former star of NBC's The Apprentice Omarosa; former Miss Black USA 1995 Sheila Rugege-Dantzler; President of the Street Basketball Association Jerrod Mustaf; and Director of Marketing for UZURI Astrid Christensen-Tason. Media personality Jeff Johnson and NBA player Antawn Jamison headline the Preliminary Competition panel of judges.
Actor/comedian Michael Colyar and actress Deya Smith will host the pageant from the historical Senegambia Beach Hotel. The pageant is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The winner will receive an academic scholarship along with other prizes
The personal interview will be the first segment of competition the women will face. This year pageant producers added a twist to the interview. Each contestant will also be judged on her knowledge of African culture.
"I am truly blessed to represent the State of South Carolina as the first ... delegate (to the Miss Black USA pageant). I am so excited to be competing ... and look forward to using this experience as a window of opportunity for others to follow," Lewis said.
Lewis received a master's degree in early childhood education from SC State in 2005.

driving through Cincinnati's Lytle Tunnel on Interstate 71 are
cautioned by police to slow down because of the possibility
for tipping on the steep curve. Accidents along the reconstructed
stretch of highway have been a continuing problem for truckers
since it reopened last year.
The Cincinnati
Police Department has issued an alert to commercial vehicle
drivers to drive below the posted 50-mph limit. "We have
had trucks overturn in this area even though there are warning
signs recommending a safe speed of 40 mph and containing the
picture of a truck tipping," said Lt. Robert Hungler, commander
of the Cincinnati Police Department's traffic division. "Although
our major concern is with the southbound lanes, there is also
a problem in the northbound lanes."
City transportation
officials are working with state transportation officials to
study whether the speed limit can be lowered along Fort Washington
Way. Since January 2001, shortly after Fort Washington Way opened
for full use following a two-year major renovation, 13 trucks
have wrecked before, inside or just after the tunnel, which
has been likened to a bobsled-like turn.
