John McDermott- Scotland Forever "Scotland The Brave" ..
Buckingham Palace set to undergo its biggest refurbishment (http://tinyurl.com/hnkuasr) and since World War II.
My opinion:
I understand the Palace need to be repair, not problem about the matter, what I question is the "fee" which is the "normal charge" for the service direct to The Queen Elizabeth II, when perhaps the same job could be done for less money elsewhere and perhaps, short time for (hope) same results.
You only need to see the amount of money for "misspent funds, professional fees, time, tax, charges (As example UKIP, but the rest!)" and with respect:
etc ..
Apologies to comment the charge (369m) for The Queen Elizabeth II essential repairs, but if I was the Prime Minister of the UK (Theresa May), I should request with immediate effect - precise description of the same "work, fee, time and charges" and at least 10 different quotes from business ventures / dealers doing same jobs, perhaps less time (http://tinyurl.com/zkke35b) with no excuses, because we are told by politics affairs of the financial crisis (http://tinyurl.com/zspvmeh), when the public can see full well the complete mislead, lies and abuse!-
- http://rcp13.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/the-queen-elizabeth-ii-and-her-beloved.html
- http://rcp13.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/another-storms-hits-united-kingdom-oh.html
- http://rcp13.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/homeless-by-direct-action-of-same-local.html
etc ..
When is a Palace repair no problem and we understand fully well, but the equipment do not come from the Palace, but a normal place where the rest pays almost nothing for the same equipment, even job and professional fee's - what a big - big robbery! -
I believe strong that the Palace need to be repair asap before the old equipment cause any kind of damaged and we respect the true fact of the matter and urgency, but I refuse to accept the amount of time as prove legally of foreign work (http://tinyurl.com/zkke35b) and money (369m) inflicted direct to the tax payer, when we are full aware of present cost of living and standards.
What we worry is the amount of money (369m), material, time and professional fee's can provoke an outcry against the Monarch, when is not Her fault, neither She will repair the Palace Herself and keep the cash, the material do not come from Her Majesty The Queen own environment and She never set time (10 years) limits, but looks to me as if trying to incite something, furthermore when the UK is facing TERRIBLE financial crisis and the shock can damaged badly against the Monarch:
(Apologies, I am not LIABLE if FAKE news:)
etc ..
It is not just me with the comments and I swear loyalty to The Queen Elizabeth II when become UK citizen and I intent to do so, but I am also concern the amount of cash (369m) when the UK is facing financial crisis and forced to "live within our own means ( http://tinyurl.com/j68v52k )" when steal our past benefits entitlements and with any excuses! -
I just saw the movie of Brooklyn of an Irish woman that travels to America and her own peoples over there, help her to find job, education and opportunities (https://youtu.be/15syDwC000k) and when it finished I was in floods of tears and not just for the lost of romance in my youth, but the rest. When I lacked in the UK, all such important matters (cash, job, education and opportunities) since day one (1985 - 2016) and all due to a wave of tales, lies and defamation of character (5 boys, the river, the kiss and etc) against me and mine (children!!), by the ex/husband, his sister social worker (carol parker) and helpers (members of my direct family) "family problems" (now trying to hide with my children, no way!!) and such BULLIES ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ) deter me to gain a proper life, education, jobs, prospectus and opportunities in this country and forced me to live within my own means and pittances (as my sister soco told me, that they "i don't know who's they", but will remove everything from me and force me into poverty, today become to be true!!). I don't normally hold grudges to peoples, except exposing "family problems" to gain what I lost, but today looking into the Christmas presents and I question how the hell I provided to my children in the past and based on fresh air and at the same time, how much my children missed and lacked of everything by the amount of lies, tales and defamation of character against own mother (I feel sorry for them and how brave they are - nothing is too much, consider the bullshit that we went and back!) and all due to those parasites bullies ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ) and as such, makes me balance the books with the pros and cons and there is no way today, I can possible pardon such liability against humanity which is me and my children - way out of question legally!!- I want to ask such bullies and own bullshit ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ), what I ever done to them, except envy, because everything gained in the UK by my own efforts even the (fucking) law was removed from my own reach with "confidentiality acts" and one of my kind told me, that I was exposed to danger ("confidentiality acts" ) and all thanks to same peoples mention before and own "family problems", today trying to hide even the news (http://tinyurl.com/hegemzm) and I hope the world do not fall into darkness the same way, that I was forced into with no time parole, no justice, no exit and no nothing, because nobody ever asked my side of the story as the law demand, order, command and request, but passed the law ( http://goo.gl/Vb1xIV ) with no care, no respect and no nothing?!!-
So how you live within own means ( http://tinyurl.com/j68v52k ) in a foreign country as the UK and when lack basic human rights and why the ex/husband never accepted the divorce years ago (when my brother wanted to help me 1993, as you can see link at the bottom http://tinyurl.com/ze5mj8v ) and even need to divorce myself by my own means, ways and forms ( http://goo.gl/Vb1xIV ), tell me if not the bullies were living by my own means, ways and forms and with me falsely accused and all based on lies (5 boys, the river, the kiss, etc), now try hard to hide the past with our children, as if the past (termination) is not enough, what a decency? -
1 - Princess wins "privacy" battle against MailOnline (I never asked to be in public life but stole my way of life and privacy with false claims from "family problems" of the ex-husband and his sister social worker, never again!!)
2 - Fergie set to sue Rupert Murdoch for millions seeking compensation for years of "lost earnings", and claiming the "story damaged her credibility and earning power (I also want compensation for years of lost earnings, and endless "family problems" with false story against my reputation, "5 boys, the river, the kiss, etc" that damaged any credibility, earnings power, education, prosperity, human rights and the chance to lead a normal life for me and mine "children" - as the rest!)". -
My sister (anapia) witness some of the fights between my mother and some of my sisters (soco, tere, etc) and a few times she (anapia) came to my bedroom and knocked my door to come out and help her and my mother and we requested my sister (soco) to leave my mothers home by the same fight, misconduct and bullying. Years after, I managed to ask my sister (soco) to make peace and say sorry to my mother and she did - when my mother was ill and before she passed away, but I am not sure the rest (tere, etc). It is today, that with all the turmoil in the UK, I can see my parents life back again and there is not question of the matters, when such peoples gave so much to the UK peoples, country and land, same as my parents, so it is not negotiable anything that happens in the life of The Queen!- In fact I am not going to permit such abuse to The Queen Elizabeth II and Her beloved husband, Prince (King) Philip, as you can see the film "The Crown" single handled managed to bring the UK and out of dark places, so no way! -
However, I question the amount of money (369m) for such kind of work, when we know fully well the present cost of material, time and professional fee's, furthermore the bad reaction with Her peoples financial crisis and what the world will think about The Queen Elizabeth II, when in reality is Her staff who arranges the matters and control expenditure? - http://tinyurl.com/hpc9uak
I believe today is the day, that the ex/husband (david parker) can be much of need to the Queen Elizabeth II with his professional experience and perhaps repair the damaged of Her beautiful Palace and for free of charge (http://tinyurl.com/hnkuasr) and if the ex/husband needs any help can always use his sister, social worker (carol parker) and the job, professional fee's and time FREE (from ex/husband and his sister social worker, carol parker) to Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II and in order to pay any kind of damages and leave me and mi children alone, starting from today (19-11-2016)!!!- At the end of the day, the "family problems" of the ex-husband and his sister social worker is all own making, as their own mother told me hundreds of times, "they (ex/husband and his sister social worker, carol parker) know full well what they are doing - as bad as each other - fight all day long ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr )!!", never me or my children but place us in danger position from such lies (5 boys, the river, the kiss, etc) !!- I know is only a dream to make professional misconduct pays as ex-husband, his sister social worker (carol parker) and own helpers - repair The Queen´s Palace and cover Her own damages, now try hard to use my children and in order to hide from past abuses, in which I was falsely blame and forced to pay without gain any justice in law to clean my name, or get access to the law as today but use my blog, so perhaps ex-husband and his sister social worker (carol parker) should repair the damaged and live by own means as link fully mention ( http://tinyurl.com/j68v52k ) and I get what the UK state owns me in back pay benefits, also the ex-husband owns me one year maintenance after divorce, plus the rest and to be in public life, when is not my place, making, position or fault, but forced as the UK law removed! -
I only question legally today, where is the Prime Minister, Theresa May (http://tinyurl.com/j755t82) to deal with this matter (Buckingham Palace undergo refurbishment http://tinyurl.com/hnkuasr) and start doing her job properly, as the law stated, request and order, because we never got the chance to see at least 10 different quotes from professional fee's, time limits (http://tinyurl.com/j799qwl), work and even purchase material separate and in order to save cost, furthermore, when The Queen Elizabeth II has the rights to be consulted at all the times, encouraged from any government and politics affairs and warn of anything in order to protect Her own peoples, as you can see the film The Crown and not to pass the UK law (as Churchill) and with respect:

- http://rosario1960.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/big-celebrations-are-taken-place-within.html
I protect me and mine (children) legally, as this state my parents went and thanks God today we got FB, Google and Social media to protect and expose, also abuse against age peoples is against the law, when matters could not be done when younger as cowards bullies ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ) and as such, important to read the news everyday and in order to safeguard the world, as today! - Rosario Castellanos de Parker.

The Pretty Reckless, a band from New York City signed with Razor and Tie, released their third studio album, Who You Selling For, in mid-October. Intrigued and wanting to dive deeper into the world of rock'n'roll via this female-fronted band, I decided to finally take a listen. The Pretty Reckless, consisting of Taylor Momsen, Jamie Perkins, Ben Phillips, and Mark Damon, took me on an incredible ride with each song, and, after this, the group can certainly check me off as a new fan.
Less than a minute into the record, I already felt chills creeping up my arms and down my spine. Momsen's vocals start out solo in "The Walls are Closing In/Hangman" before a piano accompaniment, and, together, those two aspects showed off an immense amount of passion and soul. As a new listener, her vocals drew me in from this song alone. The track then picks up the beat with the addition of guitars and percussion, and, overall, it proves to be a powerful start to this rock album. Another favorite of mine is one of the singles, "Take Me Down," which proved to me why it hit #1 on the rock charts this past August.
Who You Selling For isn't strictly hard rock with guitar riffs and solos, however. The four-piece shows diversity as they slow it down with "Bedroom Window" and "Who You Selling For," and the softer singing on these songs contrast with the rest of the album to emphasize Momsen's impressive dynamic range. Her tones are beautiful, and she is certainly capable of hitting notes across the board. Halfway through the album, "Back to the River" is another track that shows off her vocal talents while also giving listeners some incredible instrumentals from the rest of the band.
If you are into funky, unique, and powerful rock'n'roll with a bluesy vibe and heartfelt emotion, then Who You Selling For is an album I highly recommend checking out. Seriously, just do it.

Christmas Bundt Cake Recipe
It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas... That's right, nothing says seasons greetings quite like the warming aroma of orange, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. You can keep your pungent pot pourri because I'm all about the home baked goods. If I could bottle the smell of this baking, I would surely be able to retire and spend the rest of my days eating cake.
This is the perfect cake for anyone who wants maximum festive wow factor with minimum effort. Produce something like this and I can pretty much guarantee a rapture of 'oohs' and 'ahhs'
It's deliciously moist, is scented with everything that encompasses Christmas, and is the perfect alternative to claggy old Christmas Cake. I made this one in the Nordic Ware Chiffon tin, but there are lots of other bundt shapes out there which would work just as well. Worried about it sticking? Don't be. Follow my simple bundt baking tips and you'll be laughing.
225g butter
300g golden caster sugar
150g soft brown sugar
4 medium eggs
1 tsp lemon extract
2 tsp vanilla extract
350g plain flour
3 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
250ml plain fat free yogurt
Zest of 3 clementines
Juice of 1 clementine
125g large sultanas
300g icing sugar
> Preheat the oven to gas 3/160 C
> Grease and flour a regular sized bundt tin - 2.4l, 10 cup, 10 inch.
> Cream the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
> Stir in the extracts.
> In a separate bowl, measure out the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, spices and sultanas - the sultanas will get stuck in the sieve but will be covered in flour, this stops them all sinking!
> Pour the yogurt, zest and juice into a jug. Sift in a third of the flour mix followed by half the yogurt.
> Repeat this until everything is combined. Don't over mix or it'll be as tough as Santa's old boots!
> Stir in the sultanas.
> Give everything a quick mix on a low speed for about 10 seconds.
> Pour into your prepared tin.
> Bake in the centre of the oven for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. It should be shrinking from the sides of the tin slightly. If it's not, pop it back un for another 5 minutes.
> If it's slightly underdone it might break when turning out.
> Leave the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin by tipping it upside down on a wire cooling rack.
> Allow it to cool fully - ice it while it's warm and you'll be sorry. A sloppy sorry mess.
> Mix the icing sugar with a little water until it's a runny consistency.
> Tip it over the cake in what ever fashion makes you happy. I misted mine with a little glitter spray and adorned it with some kitsch decorations I found in my local deli.
Enjoy with slippers on, a cup of tea in hand and Christmas all wrapped up.

Neuroethics Comes of Age
Originally, the Neuroethics Society expected 50—maybe 80—people to show up for its First Annual Meeting. But over 200 neuroethics devotees assembled last week at the American Academy for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C. for the two-day series of presentations, discussions, and poster sessions.
Neuroethics is the subfield of bioethics that studies the ethical, legal, social, cultural, and policy issues that arise from our ability to understand and manipulate the brain through basic, applied, and clinical neuroscience.
Several members of the Science Progress advisory board either spearheaded the effort to get this conference together or participated in the meeting's discussion panels. Martha Farah led a session on the up-and-coming neurotechnology industry featuring Zach Lynch. Hank Greeley discussed the legal and ethical controversies surrounding neuroscience-based lie-detection technologies. Paul Root Wolpe moderated an unexpectedly agreeable discussion between two neuro-partisans on the ever-prescient issue of brain enhancement. Science Progress Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Moreno spoke on a panel about the ethics of deep brain stimulation research and also led a panel on neuroscience research and the use of neurotechnology by the military and intelligence communities.
The success of the meeting is a clear sign that neuroethics has come a long way in a short period of time. Although not the first person to use the term, New York Times columnist William Safire coined "neuroethics" in its contemporary sense. Safire and others refined the term at the 2002 conference, "Neuroethics: Mapping the Field," convened by the Dana Foundation. According to its website, the Neuroethics Society itself was founded in May of 2006 after a small meeting in Asilomar, California. Shortly thereafter, in October of 2006, the Society aligned with the International Neuroethics Network in an effort to broaden its scope. Harvard University's Steve Hyman currently serves as the society's president.
In these few short years, websites such as neuroethics.upenn.edu, the Neuroethics and Law Blog, and journals such as Neuroethics and AJOB-Neuroscience have sprouted up, adding intellectual heft and scope to the field. In fact, it is the breadth of the field that has made neuroethics so popular. The community sees itself as a big tent and incorporates scholars from the humanities, hard sciences, and social sciences, along with doctors, lawyers, businesspeople, and policy professionals. Indeed, the program agenda from last week's meeting is a testament to the community's commitment to breadth, diversity, and interdisciplinary.
The society's will expand its impact with activities like the First Annual Penn Neuroscience Bootcamp on August 2-12, 2009 at the University of Pennsylvania. The Bootcamp will introduce the methods and findings of neuroscience research to educators, economists, businesspeople, policy professionals, along with anyone else whose work requires them to "understand, predict, or influence human behavior."
Neuroscience is becoming increasingly relevant in our everyday lives. fMRI brain scan images already flood the science sections—and advertising space—in newspapers and magazines. In order to properly separate the reality of advances in brain technology from the hype, consumers, citizens, and professionals have to get educated on the science and engaged in the ethical conversation.
For more details on the Penn Neuroscience Bootcamp, including application instructions, check out the program website.

Hybrid Teacher Leadership Role
Hybrid teaching positions retain effective teachers in classroom positions, while providing them leadership opportunities, and keeping them from succumbing to burnout in high-poverty situations. When teachers leaders leave the classroom they sometimes lose the immediate teacher perspective, as well as credibility among teachers who are "in the trenches." Hybrid teachers retain their teacher perspective and can advocate for teachers and students among administrators and policy makers to make real and lasting positive changes in public education.
At Westport Middle School in Louisville, Kentucky, we have implemented two hybrid teacher positions for math and English language arts. Each teaches 2-3 hours a day, and then serves as the school instructional leader for their content. Leadership may include school-wide RtI progress monitoring, organization and allocation of all school resources for instruction and assessment, teacher support/feedback, development/ implementation of initiatives, creation/facilitation of professional development, compliance with school, district and state systems requirements, and two-way communication between administrators and teachers to refine school systems and improve school culture. Our kids come from one of the poorest zip codes in the nation, we do not-- per district requirements for our school-- practice selective enrollment, and we have seen impressive gains in ELA, where I have served in the hybrid role for 3 years.

Glenn Greenwald is facing off with a former NSA boss Friday night.
Greenwald, the journalist who published many of the first stories based on Edward Snowden's National Security Agency leaks, will be debating former CIA and NSA Director Gen. Michael Hayden in Toronto tomorrow night.
Hayden, who has been a rather vocal critic of Snowden's leaks, will be arguing in favor of the resolution, "state surveillance is a legitimate defense of our freedoms." Greenwald will, of course, be arguing against it.
The debate will be a four person matchup and the other participants are also heavyweights. Hayden will be joined by famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Greenwald will be teamed with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
This will be the thirteenth installment of the semi-annual Munk Debates, which are hosted by the Aurea Foundation, a Canadian charitable dedicated to supporting the study of foreign policy. The debate will be livestreamed online here.
In an email to Business Insider, Hayden said he thinks the audience is "likely to be on the other side."
"Intend to state facts. This isn't simple. It's complicated. And you should know the facts before you decide," Hayden wrote.
Greenwald has not responded to a request for comment from Business Insider.
This post was originally published 5/1/14 at 10:38pm. It was updated Friday with Hayden's comment.

Bryce Harrington on the "Paradox of FOSS projects supporting Windows"
(This text was copied from Bryce's blog because its hard to get to his website at present)
As we near in on the Inkscape 0.46 release, I've been increasingly focusing on the few remaining "critical" bugs. A lot of these are specific to the Windows port, which is a bit frustrating for those of us whose big hope in life is to *replace* Windows, not to support it.
For Inkscape, popularity on Windows was sort of a side-effect not an objective. The entire raison d'etre of Inkscape (going back to the Sodipodi and Gill origins) was because of the lack of drawing tools on Linux. The proprietary Windows drawing app vendors refused to support Linux, so we all set off to fix that issue ourselves, and in so doing help make Linux a more viable alternative to Windows. For me personally, solving bug 1 is a big motivation to working on Inkscape.
In fact, while there had been some work on Sodipodi to do a Windows port, when we started Inkscape we dropped that, so we could focus on the Linux core. But it was not long before people who loved Inkscape and wanted it to work on Windows volunteered to undertake the porting work. We figured, hey, if it didn't impact the Inkscape core, and if these Windows contributors took care of all the porting work, what could it hurt to have more platform independence? These porters deserve a lot of credit - not only did they pull off a decent port, but the Windows version of Inkscape has proven to be extremely popular, and today our estimates are that we have vastly more Windows-based users than any other platform.
One could also argue that a Windows port could help provide a "stepping stone" for people to ease their migration from Windows to Linux. I have no clue whether this has come to be, nor know of any way to measure the significance of it if it has.
A point I often hear made is that having a good Windows port of Inkscape will "increase it's popularity." Perhaps, however popularity by itself isn't valuable - it needs to be translated into something tangible. For proprietary software, increased userbase means increased income, which allows hiring more developers to fix the bugs that the increased number of users are reporting. For free software projects, popularity doesn't bring value quite so directly - although you definitely get the increased number of bug reports!
In theory, you would expect that increasing userbase would result in increased number of contributers. This is the whole concept of Open Source - more eyeballs makes bugs shallow, a rising tide raises all boats, et al. I say 'contributor' rather than 'developer' deliberately, since value to an open source project can come in the form of a lot more than just code - documentation, translations, bug triaging, testing, marketing, tech support, and on and on.
So rather than just looking at userbase size by itself, consider the *ratio* of contributors to userbase. A platform with a high C/U ratio is going to have a lot more luck at stabilizing and optimizing its package than one with a low C/U. Commercial software can get by with low C/U's by paying developers to work on it; volunteer-only FOSS projects don't have that option though.
Thinking in terms of this ratio lets you think of larger problems in a bit different light. For instance, to determine if it's worth supporting a given platform, you could imagine comparing the C/U ratio to a Bugs/Userbase ratio. If C/U is too low in relation to the B/U ratio, the project won't be able to keep up with bug reports, so supporting the platform is going to literally be more trouble than worth.
This also lets you consider whether userbase growth due to increased popularity is going to be a good thing or a bad thing. If you have had a high C/U ratio previously, you can be relatively certain that increasing the userbase will bring with it a lot of new contributors. Often this can take the form of users simply helping each other out with answering questions on forums, helping with bugs, sharing tips and tricks, etc. This all represents value coming into the project, and is a strong sign of success.
On the other hand, with a low C/U ratio, increasing popularity may simply bring with it piles of bug reports and frustration by all involved. With few new volunteers coming in, existing ones risk becoming burned out, and the C/U ratio continues to decrease.
I also have a hypothesis that the base C/U ratio is platform-specific and derived from the level of technical knowledge and culture of that platform. In other words, by default, a Linux userbase will have a higher C/U than a Windows userbase, because the coder/non-coder ratio is higher, and because of cultural differences: Windows users are more accustomed to business models where they are simply consumers of products and their role ends at the point they submit a bug report; volunteer-involvement in a company's software product is not only a foreign concept but indeed something that can get you sued! On open source platforms like Linux, it's a completely different story - users are welcomed to be part of the collaborative process.
Another obvious question is, how do you improve your C/U ratio while allowing U to increase? A lot of ideas seem obvious - making the project more welcoming, encouraging people to get involved, providing ample training material, demonstrating how new participants can scratch their itches, encouraging them to learn coding, etc. Even though these ideas are so obvious, it's amazing that projects run into trouble fairly regularly because they've not done them - which can result in people not in the "inner circle" to not get involved; keeping C fixed while U goes up is just a recipe for disaster.
But I'm particularly curious how to deal with the situation of C/U on Windows. On the one hand, I don't particularly care to make life on Windows easier - I want people to switch to Ubuntu! But on the other, I want other people to take care of the Windows bugs; the existing Windows Inkscape supporters are obviously pretty overwhelmed, so really this means we need to get more Windows contributors. Telling Windows bug reporters the equivalent of "send a patch" gains either blank stares or outrage. Others would like to, but don't have the time or interest.
Sometimes, one way to increase contributions is to simply put the software bugs and all - in keeping with the "Release Early, Release Often" adage. This exposes the bugs to more people, at least some of which will be sufficiently bothered to put in the effort to fix it. But this is a mean thing to do deliberately to users.
Some would like to offer bounties, but honestly the amount of money required to compensate a developer for the time they spend fixing a bug is usually way beyond what a user can reasonably afford (and who wants to do the paperwork?) Personally I like the idea of bounty systems, but for whatever reason they don't seem to work in practice.
It's sort of ironic, that many of us got involved in Inkscape to further the aims of Open Source with the intent of getting people AWAY from Windows, yet since there aren't enough Windows contributors to cover all the problems particular to that platform, here we are with an expectation that we spend extra time supporting it. Do Not Want!

The Springs Church
135 N. Grant, Cedar Springs
Prayer may be the least understood, yet the most powerful action in a Christian's life. It's not just reciting a few trite religious words; it's communicating with the God of the universe who wants to have a relationship with you.
I was thinking this week, why prayer is so difficult for people? Here's what I think: We've had limited exposure to authentic prayer. The bottom line is this—a lot of us just don't know how to pray. We haven't been taught how to pray. Maybe the only time we've even heard prayer was around the Thanksgiving table or something like that. And because of that we don't know how to pray or what to say. The reality is prayer is just telling God what's on your heart.
Why else is it difficult? We think I'm not important enough for God to listen to me. I mean, after all, I can't even get the cable guy to listen to me. I call and he puts me on hold. And I wait. And I wait. Then, when I finally talk to the cable guy, what happens? He can't even pinpoint a time when he'll be here. "Sometime between sun up and sun down," he says. So you stay home all day waiting for him to show up, you leave for five minutes for lunch, and he jumps out from behind the bushes where he was hiding and puts a note on your door that reads, "Sorry I missed you. I'll be back… maybe." We have those experiences all the time and we think, "If people don't even want to talk to me or listen to me why would God?" But God isn't like the cable guy. What you have to say is important to God. If you were important enough for Jesus to die for, you're important enough to be heard.
We also believe that prayer doesn't work because, when we've asked God for things in the past, He didn't answer. Or He didn't answer them quick enough. We are so into instant answers. We think God is like a vending machine; we put in our prayer request, push a button, and out drops an answer. And, because God doesn't answer prayer that way, we think prayer doesn't work.
The truth is God does answer prayers. What I've found in my own spiritual journey is that a lot of times God answers prayers based on what I need, not on what I want. I want a lot of things that maybe aren't in God's big picture and best plans for me.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 66:20 (NLT), "Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw His unfailing love from me."
Prayer can be learned, so let's get practical. Here's a couple suggestions:
Call on God first. What does that mean? It means that tomorrow morning, when you wake up, have these words be the first words that come out of your mouth, "Good morning, God." Just try it. Start out your day tomorrow in prayer.
Get alone. Have a place where you talk to God. Maybe it's in your car, maybe it's in the shower, or maybe it's in your bedroom. Find a place where you can get alone with God and just talk to Him.
Prayer doesn't have to be awkward or confusing or uncomfortable. In fact, it's not supposed to be. You can learn how to pray. Maybe learning to pray is the next step you need to take.

We Were SoldiersDVD - 2002

Based on a true story, this movie shows the true grit of the US soldiers. Great acting, and the wives of the soldiers are shown dealing with the loneliness of absent husbands and the pain and grief of loss if they died.
Great movie, but it is sad.
Yeah, the 1st Air Cavalry battle depicted in this movie actually happened more-or-less as portrayed. Unfortunately it is a piece of the mythology of the Vietnam War that grows more every day. I encourages we veterans to lie through our teeth even to one another about what we were, why we were, what we actually did back in those times. I go to the VA Hospital and sit in waiting rooms with dozens of other vets who lie to one another everyone claiming to be a combat vet. Every finance clerk every tanker, every helicopter mechanic has become a point man or sniper. I know a guy who was a battalion logistics officer with the Air Cav who's claiming today he was an infantry platoon commander. That war did a lot to all of us in this country, military and non military, but first and most it made liars of us all. A war we never should have fought, where every death was a waste. We lost, and nothing bad happened as a consequence. So we lie to ourselves and one another.
But only one out of every 20 of those guys wearing Vietnam Veteran caps ever even heard a shot fired in anger. One out of 100 were near enough to be in any danger. Force us to tell the truth for once.
One of the very few "Vietnam war" movies to come out of Hollywood that did not go overboard. Captured combat and the home life of soldiers families. Very well done, Oscar material.
One of the best films I have seen in this year. It was entertaining and interesting. Great performances a must see for all. "Truly a really great movie worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box".
A simply outstanding film- Mel Gibson is brilliant as usual, and the fact that this is a historical film, based quite closely on Hal Moore's account of the battle, and that the North Vietnamese aren't portrayed as evil villians, but are simply soldiers, makes this one of the better war movies ever made. I highly recommend it.

Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed. Many patients believe that removing a tooth that has problems is the solution, but what is not realized is that extracting (pulling) a tooth will ultimately be more costly and cause significant problems for adjacent teeth.
Root canal treatment is highly successful and usually lasts a lifetime, although on occasion, a tooth will have to be retreated due to new infections.
Signs and symptoms for possible root canal therapy:
Reasons for root canal therapy:
What does root canal therapy involve?
A root canal procedure requires one or more appointments and can be performed by a dentist or endodontist (a root canal specialist).
While the tooth is numb, a rubber dam (a sheet of rubber) will be placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva. An access opening is made on top of the tooth and a series of root canal files are placed into the opening, one at a time, removing the pulp, nerve tissue, and bacteria. If tooth decay is present, it will also be removed with special dental instruments.
Once the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, it will be sealed with either a permanent filling or, if additional appointments are needed, a temporary filling will be placed.
At the next appointment, usually a week later, the roots and the inside cavity of the tooth will be filled and sealed with special dental materials. A filling will be placed to cover the opening on top of the tooth. In addition, all teeth that have root canal treatment should have a crown (cap) placed. This will protect the tooth and prevent it from breaking, and restore it to its full function.
After treatment, your tooth may still be sensitive, but this will subside as the inflammation diminishes and the tooth has healed.
You will be given care instructions after each appointment. Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your root canal treatment.

Where did the name 22Lightbulbs come from?
The name 22Lightbulbs is derived from Chinese numerology where the number 22 serves as the destiny number of individuals who are builders and leaders. These builders and leaders are usually visionaries with their feet strongly grounded. They love world peace, are unconventional in actions and thought, are full of ideas and are very ambitious. It was fitting to call our podcast "22Lightbulbs", as we work with so many of these people and want to inspire more to be strongly grounded and to build and lead.

President Obama and liberal Democrats are almost orgasmic at the thought they have finally found a movement to counter the Tea Party in the Occupy Wall Street astroturf.
While the President, liberal Democrats, union leaders and some in the media have tried to convince Americans that this is a grassroots movement that is raging against corporate greed on Wall Street and is being led by disenfranchised Americans, the truth of the matter is that this is the usual bunch of suspects on the far left such as International ANSWER, Code Pink, the Communist Party USA, and the Workers World Party, to name a few — a loose coalition of anarchist groups and angry trust-fund babies looking for their lot in life.
President Obama and liberal Democrats, in praising this bunch, are trying to give them mainstream exposure, but as the American people have come to find out more about this so-called coalition group and their list of demands, which read something like a Communist Redbook, they are coming to realize that this is the same bunch that show up at annual IMF/World Bank Meeting and engage in massive protests which includes general mayhem, destroying private property and battling the police in the streets. With that said, you can hardly call this group grassroots; they are professional protestors whose overall objective is to replace our system of individual freedoms with big government socialism, even if that means using violence to accomplish it.
President Obama and liberal Democrats know full well that they have to appease this bunch right now and convince them not to abandon him in 2012, as they were part of the coalition that propelled Democrats to mass majorities in the House and a filibuster-proof Senate along with the President's election in 2008. Many of these same groups who publicly endorsed President Obama believe that his skin color would make passing their socialist agenda easier and quail any opposition with a rubber stamp Congress. For his part, President Obama realizes that he must direct their anger and rage elsewhere (i.e. Wall Street, one of his biggest fundraising sources) because if enough of these hard Leftists defect to a third party in 2012, then President Obama's reelection chances in key states are seriously in doubt.
Union leaders, for their part, must try to convince these hard leftists to remain part of the 2008 coalition as President Obama's so-called jobs bill will be another cash cow for them to use as a slush fund to elect more Democrats nationwide. They will direct their members to join these professional protestors in an effort to try and make this astroturf seem like a legitimate movement of working-class people raging against corruption and greed, when in reality it has been the working class that has borne the brunt of President Obama's failed policies and governmental greed. I suspect that union leaders believe that if they can convince enough moderate Republicans in the House that this bad acting is actually legitimate, Boehner and his colleagues will panic and side with House Democrats in passing the President's agenda over the objections of Tea Party-backed Republicans.
The incoherent message and list of demands from this coalition of hard leftist groups is more than enough indication to the majority of Americans that this is nothing more than pure astroturf at best and bad comedy at its worst as we watch what amounts to be a bunch of angry trust fund babies throw a tantrum over the fact that government (namely Obama and the Democrats) hasn't provided them with all the promised goodies from 2008, Momma and Daddy refuse to carry them any further in life, demanding they grow up and become productive member of society. This is not a movement but a public display of children behaving badly, and this astroturf will never have the legitimacy of a pure grassroots movement like the Tea Party, which is a diverse group of Americans seeking to strengthen individual freedoms for the benefit of all Americans, including those who seem to be confused by the role of government in our lives.

High Powered Boys "Crash"
As the freshly minted Marble imprint continues to steamroll through 2011, the world was recently treated to its third release, a two-track single by Surkin and Bobmo (a.k.a. High Powered Boys). The club-lovin' production duo stuffed this 12" with the high-octane jams "Girly" and "Crash," and was also kind-hearted enough to let you have that b-side free of charge. This big tune comes on strong from the get-go with hyped-up vocal samples, bubbling sound effects, and spacey synth melodies, and wastes no time taking things to the next level. A stuttered, punchy beat and a head-rattling bassline announce the drop, but we soon find that Surkin and Bobmo have only just begun. You can get more info and listen to the flip side of High Powered Boys' new single here.

SAN JOSE Pete DeBoer insists that there are no gimmes in the NHL.
He might want to consider carving out an exception to rule after Thursdays blowout win at SAP Center.
Just six days after a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks triggered DeBoers gimme tirade, the Sharks capitalized on the loosy-goosy play of a team thats playing out a string in the rematch.
The win allowed the Sharks to maintain a two-point lead over the Los Angeles Kings for second place in the Pacific Division.
Get Sharks news in your inbox. Sign up now for the free Sharks Report newsletter.</p
Heres what we learned as the Sharks (35-21-9) stomped the Blackhawks (27-28-8) in a convincing 7-2 win.
1. Evander Kane is giving the Sharks top line the speed it needed.
With Kane, the Sharks acquired a pure-goal scorer, injected physicality into the lineup and found the missing ingredient to their top-six forward group: speed.
The Sharks lack of high-end speed got exposed by the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2016 Stanley Cup Final and its remained an issue in the aftermath as the NHL continues to get flooded by young fast-skating players.
Kanes addition this week might help fix the problem.
Like our Sharks Facebook page for more San Jose Sharks news, commentary and conversation.
The line of Kane, Joe Pavelski and Joonas Donskoi scored two more goals Thursday, both of which came off the rush.
Kane got the Sharks first goal at 10:22 of the opening period started by taking Pavelskis breakout pass, turning the play north with his speed and hitting Donskoi with a cross-ice feed in the neutral zone. From there, Donskoi entered the zone and dropped the puck back to Brent Burns, who gave Pavelski a look into a yawning net for his 17th goal with a through-the-slot pass.
The Sharks top line, which has combined for 12 points in two games, scored off the rush again at 12:14 of the second when Pavelski put the team ahead 5-1 with his 18th goal. Kane kickstarted the play again, punching the puck ahead to Donskoi for a two-on-one chance that Pavelski buried.
By the end of the game, the Sharks had scored five goals off the rush, a different look for a team that usually makes its hay by grinding teams down with the half-court offense.
When asked how Kane is changing the dynamic on the ice, the first word off Joe Pavelski, Martin Jones and Dylan DeMelos tongue was speed.
Pavelski: definitely a speed element.
Jones: hes got that breakaway speed and he knows how to use it.
DeMelo: hes got great speed and hes got great strength, too, on the puck. Hes physical and hes opening up space.
Even DeBoer, who tends to cringe at the speed question, acknowledged that Kanes legs are giving his top line a new fold.
Everybody in todays NHL is looking for speed, the Sharks coach said. But you cant just have speed, youve got to have speed that understands how to play. Thats the thing with him he gets it. He knows when to slow down, when to turn it on. He can make plays.
Most importantly, Kane is adding speed to the group, along with physicality. Oftentimes with speed, theres a tradeoff.
Thats a rare package, DeBoer said.
2. Kane is also balancing out the Sharks forward lines.
The puzzle pieces all seemed to fall into play with Kanes addition Monday.
Now, the Sharks top line is dangerous, Logan Coutures line is still a strong shutdown unit that can score and the addition of Timo Meiers 17 goals to the third line is giving the team a matchup edge at the bottom of the lineup, as well.
All four lines scored Thursday as Couture, Meier, Kevin Labanc and Barclay Goodrow joined the goal parade. Eleven of the teams 12 forwards found their way onto the scoresheet.
Weve been talking all year about getting our four line game going, DeBoer said. I feel now weve got guys slotted in the right spots. We can have dangerous players and dangerous-offensive players in our third and fourth lines.
Thats what youre seeing.
Couture tied Owen Nolan for fourth place on the franchises all-time goals list with his 206th career goal. Marc-Edouard Vlasic set a career best by scoring his 10th goal, tying Brent Burns for tops among Sharks defensemen, and DeMelo recorded the first three-point game of his career with three assists.
3. Pump the brakes a bit.
Dont pencil the Sharks into the Stanley Cup playoffs just yet. Keep in mind, the teams back-to-back wins this week have come against a pair of squads that are 16 and 12 points out of playoff spots right now. Its hard emulate playoff hockey against teams that are playing wide-open games without anything to lose.
DeMelo acknowledged that the Blackhawks were playing loose Thursday.
It happens when youre playing a team thats out of it, he said. We were able to capitalize today on their mistakes.
The Sharks will get a better sense of how their new lineup stacks up against playoff-caliber teams Sunday when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets, who own the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Cows that are too sick or weak to stand can no longer be slaughtered for food — no exceptions. Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer made the announcement Tuesday at the conclusion of a 60-day review of the nation's slaughterhouses prompted by the nation's biggest meat recall.
Critics say the total ban closes a "loophole" that had allowed sick or a small number of so-called "downer" cattle into the food supply if they pass veterinary inspection. "For too long, sick and crippled animals have been allowed into the food supply, putting consumers at risk and subjecting injured and sick animals to needless torment," Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The HSUS, said in a statement on its Web site.
The Associated Press writes:
Downer cows pose increased risk for mad cow disease and other infections, partly because they typically wallow in feces. They are already mostly banned from slaughter, but under current rules can be allowed in if they fall down after passing an initial veterinary inspection, and then are re-inspected and pass that second inspection, too.
The change would affect "a minimal" number of cows, representing "less than 0.003 percent of cattle slaughtered annually," USDA's Schafer said in a statement. Of 34 million cows slaughtered in 2007, around 2,700 fell down after the initial veterinary inspection and were re-inspected. Of those, less than 1,000 were then approved to go to slaughter, Schafer said.
In January, the Humane Society released undercover video showing employees of Chino, Calif.-based Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. using electrical shocks and intense water spraying on downer cows to sick or injured to stand on their own. The USDA ordered the recall of 143 million pounds of beef. The plant supplied meat to schools across the country, including Seattle Public Schools and several in Washington state. The plant has closed.

Ocean Acidification- More than just a sour taste (pt.1)

Ocean acidification is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem- the current rate of acidification is 0.1pH per century.

Yeah, just like Assad using chemical weapons meant you'd attack him…
PAT DOLLARD September 15, 2013
Excerpted from The Washington Post: President Obama declared that the United States is still prepared to act militarily to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons despite the decision to pursue a diplomatic deal and not strike Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
He also acknowledged his approach to the Syria crisis has been uneven, but defended it as producing the right results.
Obama spoke in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos," taped Friday before the United States and Russia agreed on a plan to bring Syrian chemical weapons under international control in order to avoid military strikes.
But Obama said Iran should not interpret the diplomatic response — coming after he threatened to use strikes — as suggesting that the United States wouldn't attack Iran to stop the development of nuclear weapons.
"I think what the Iranians understand is that the nuclear issue is a far larger issue for us than the chemical weapons issue, that the threat.?.?. against Israel, that a nuclear Iran poses, is much closer to our core interests," Obama said. "My suspicion is that the Iranians recognize they shouldn't draw a lesson that we haven't struck [Syria] to think we won't strike Iran." Keep reading
Bee's note:
Kerry to Visit Israel on Sunday
"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Jerusalem Sunday to hold talks with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on the progress made in the Middle East peace talks and on Syria.How best to keep those "talks" moving along, then to reassure Israel that Obama would (or is) still planning to bomb Iran. Of course, there would be no need to make 'promises" you have no plans on keeping, if Obama had not refused Israel last October from bombing Iran.
The two men will discuss "the final status negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians, following on the secretary's meeting with [Palestinian Authority Chairman] Mahmoud Abbas in London last Monday," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki was quoted by AFP as having said.
They would also talk about the conflict in Syria, Psaki added.
The top U.S. diplomat - who has made it a personal mission to try to achieve a long-elusive peace deal between Israel and the PA - met for three hours with Abbas in London earlier this week.
After also meeting with Arab League officials, Kerry praised efforts to hold talks "despite tough decisions and despite pressure that exists on both sides."
Can you imagine the pressure off the world's shoulders, if Israel had been given the "go ahead/green light" from Obama last year? However, because elections were just around the corner, Obama refused Israel's request and today, Iran is one year further ahead in its on-going attempts to obtain nuclear capabilities.
Unlike Obama's "red" lines and backward steps, Iran will keep its promise to wipe Israel off the map.
My suggestion to Israel, after watching the indecisiveness of Obama and his willingness to pass the buck, would be to move on whatever plans you deem necessary to protect the State of Israel and its citizens, without leaning on promises that will never be met by the Obama administration.

Hipaa is about as confusing as things can get. Things you must do. Things you should do but are not explicitly required to do. Things you really want to do but don't really need to... Encryption falls into a gray area between these things. You must decide if it is required.
Lets get some definitions out of the way
Data at rest: Data at rest is all the data/PHI you have sitting on your computers, servers, or mobile devices.
Data in motion/transit: this is data that is actively being transmitted over the internet, moved on thumb drives, or copied to CD.
Encryption: Encryption is the process of hiding this information behind a key or password.
OK, so encryption is not strictly required(http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/faq/securityrule/2001.html) but it does fall into the area of something that must be dealt with. it is an addressable implementation specifications. AWESOME, everyone knows what that is right? Well basically it is something that you must decide wether or not to implement it(http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/faq/securityrule/2020.html).
There are guide lines to follow... You the business entity must decide if encryption is a reasonable and appropriate security measure. Then document your choice and the reasons why you chose that way. Then if you decided to encrypt everything, or some stuff, you must implement it or perform an equivalent security practice.
Give us a call if you ned more information.

I think we all like the wheel well to be filled out some, but we don't want the wheels/tires sticking out beyond flush either. Anyone with pics of their car from the rear showing 285s and how far out/in they are would be greatly appreciated (plus the wheel/tire size and offset)! This seems to be a very common size that many of us would like to run. Thanks!

In a fiercely contested and heavily funded race, Democrat Mike Mullin held off Republican Heather Cordasco Tuesday in a rematch of last year's special election to retain the 93rd District House of Delegates seat.
With unofficial vote totals from all 25 precincts, Mullin had 60 percent (15,978 votes) of the vote to Cordasco's 40 percent (10,603 votes), according to the Virginia Department of Elections.
Mullin said he received a concession call from Cordasco. He called it an incredible honor to continue representing the 93rd district and to be able to work to protect victims of domestic violence and expand health care for all Virginians.
"This is a wonderful night," Mullin said. "I think it is a strong mandate to be able to continue to do the work that we've done over the last year."
A flurry of money came in for both candidates in the run-up to the election, with both candidates receiving more than $500,000 in campaign contributions in 2017.
In the waning days of the campaign, Mullin and his campaign took issue with flyers from the Republican Party of Virginia — and authorized by Cordasco — that said Mullin was campaigning during working hours.
He also took issue with an ad from the group Friends of Heather Cordasco that showed the Democrat playing beer pong in college and inferring that the Suffolk prosecutor was soft on crime.
But Mullin also took on Cordasco, a philanthropy officer with the conservative Capital Research Center, on abortion rights and her former connection with a strongly conservative and anti-abortion advocacy group.
Mullin believes his election success is due to trying to work in a bipartisan manner.
"We're talking to people about the things that they care about, as opposed to the things that divide us," Mullin said.
