Michael Keaton Can't Kill Lawsuit Over Directorial Debut
An Illinois federal judge won't allow Michael Keaton to escape a lawsuit over The Merry Gentleman, his 2008 directorial debut about a professional killer who develops an unlikely relationship.
Merry Gentleman LLC, the production company, sued Keaton in April, alleging that he didn't live up to his contractual obligations. According to the complaint, among other acts, Keaton wouldn't hire an editor during the production of the film, abandoned the editing to go fly fishing and had a stand-off with producers at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival when it looked as though his cut of the film wouldn't be screened.
In a motion to dismiss, Keaton gave three grounds for dismissal, starting with a settlement agreement that was executed between him and the film's producers. As a result of this, Keaton believed that the producers had released any potential claims.

The producers in turn argued that the agreement was invalid because it was the product of duress -- Sundance would only screen the film if Keaton showed up, and after spending $4 million on it, producers felt compelled to give into his demands.
Keaton said the producers did have a choice: They could have sued him for breaching a contract back then.
But U.S. District judge Gary Feinerman finds it "plausible" that the producers were left with no practical choice but to relent to Keaton's demands.
"The facts alleged by Merry Gentleman would allow the conclusion that a pre- Sundance suit by Merry Gentleman against Keaton, while certainly a possibility, was not a feasible alternative under the circumstances," he writes in a ruling on Wednesday. "Keaton's threat to not appear at Sundance unless Merry Gentleman agreed to allow his second cut to show -- an agreement memorialized in the Release -- could be found opportunistic within the meaning of the duress doctrine in light of Merry Gentleman's allegations."
Keaton's second ground for dismissal was that the producers hadn't alleged any breach of contractual duties after that Sundance release. The producers didn't like that he was lax in getting the film in shape for an audience screening and refused to work with key members of the production team. But Keaton says he had no obligation under his directing agreement to prepare a final cut.

Judge Feinerman says Keaton "overlooks portions of the agreement that obligated him to assist in the preparation of the final cut," adding that "although Merry Gentleman had the final say over the film's final cut, the agreement imposed obligations on Keaton regarding preparation of the final cut."
Finally, Keaton attempted to kill the breach-of-contract dispute by claiming that Merry Gentleman failed to perform its own obligations. Specifically, Keaton said he was due notice and an opportunity to make good on his agreement in the event of something not going right.
But the judge says that the notice provision pertained to the possibility of Keaton being fired or not getting paid, and since neither of those things happened, "Merry Gentleman's obligation ... to provide notice and an opportunity to cure never was triggered."
Here's the full ruling. After premiering at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Merry Gentleman grossed less than $350,000.
The producers are being represented by Matthew David Tanner. Keaton is being represented by a team at Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott.

Corn Chips & Salsa
I had corn chips with salsa for my snacks this afternoon. It's yummy especially the salsa is hot. It made me cry a bit...hehehe... but it helps for it opened up my nasal passages. And it feels good after you're done eating. Sigh!, lately I've been thinking too much about food and I get started to worry here maybe I'll gain weight this coming months. Especially, last friday hubby and I bought lots of good stuff to stock up in the fridge. Even if I'm trying to lose weight from what I have been eating while were on vacation in the Philippines, can't take my mind off from foodies.

With only 33 vertebrae (24 movable) in the human spine, how many chiropractic adjustments can one CEO use in a year? Steve Dubin, who opened the doors to PR Works in Norwell, Mass., in 1990, had to ask himself that question once his business began to grow. Early on, with few clients, limited cash flow, and plenty of time, he decided to help a New England chiropractor, Michael Gottfried, score some local press in exchange for a weekly back cracking.
For Dubin, the barter arrangement meant a solid local reference and another name on the client roster -- not to mention an aligned spine. Yet when his public relations business finally began gathering steam, the $500-a-month value of the weekly appointments was, Dubin realized, "barely an account." As many entrepreneurs find out, lopsided barter deals struck in a company's early days have an expiration date. But good relationships shouldn't.
Though it sounds like something that might have peaked a few hundred years ago with Native Americans, barter is big business. That, says Krista Vardabash, the executive director of the International Reciprocal Trade Association, is because business owners are always looking for ways to cut costs and break into new markets and because, these days, online trade platforms are making barter connections easier than ever. Of course, while converting from barter to cash isn't necessarily easy, there are proven ways to transform trade arrangements into cold hard cash.
Sometimes, all you have to do is ask. Dubin, for example, initiated a frank conversation with Gottfried, who happily signed on as a paying client. Why? Because he was extremely happy with the PR his practice was getting. "Dubin," says Gottfried, "gave me incredible guidance about how to make myself known to the local press" -- landing him appearances on local talk radio programs and a regular gig doing a daily public service spot that aired during prime commuter time. "I could see I was coming out ahead on the barter," says Gottfried. It helped that Dubin sweetened the deal by offering to discount the value of the chiropractic services Gottfried provided from his account every month -- a nice compromise that showed goodwill and a belief in the value of his chiropractic skills. More than a decade later, Dubin and Gottfried are still doing business.
But if you're not careful, changing from trade to cash can easily lead to severed relationships. Just ask Denver entrepreneur Cynthia McKay. In 1992, McKay quit practicing law to start Le Gourmet Gift Basket, where she has long been big on barter. Even today, with 510 franchises, McKay still allows 20% of her clients to barter, trading gift baskets for everything from brochure printing services to bulk orders of fudge. The biggest problem she's encountered is that many partners come with an expectation: If you barter once, you will barter forever. She deals with the issue by setting up a contract at the start of the barter deal, building in an expiration date along with some quality-assurance parameters. This can both ease the transition to pay-to-play and safeguard against faulty service.
Many partners come with an expectation: If you barter with them once, you will barter forever.
McKay speaks with experience on both sides of the fence. For years, she swapped with a Denver transportation company, Admiral Limo, and its CEO, Michele Rossi, to get swanky rides around town for clients and employees. But in 2001, Admiral merged with Presidential Limo, a company with a strict no-barter policy. Rossi had to break the bad news to her longtime trading partner. "Generally, small-business people understand," she says. But it's important to let them know as early as possible, she adds. That way, they won't feel they're being bullied into a cash arrangement. "As a courtesy, you should let them know before they come and ask you for a next trade, so you don't look like you were trying to find out what they need to sucker them into a sale," Rossi says.
At first, McKay was loath to pay cash for transportation services she had long received for free and tried to find another transportation company willing to trade. Eventually, however, she came to the conclusion that Presidential was the best operation in the area. "After a car left some clients stranded at a casino," she says, "I went to Presidential and paid in cash." Not only have McKay and Rossi continued to do business, they've become friends. Rossi, now president and co-owner of Presidential Limo, says whenever she and her antibartering partner, CEO Gene Cookenboo, send a gift basket to one of their 55 employees or to one of their clients, they always buy from McKay. In short, drawing a line and demanding cash can work -- especially when you have a long-standing, proven relationship with the client.
But even as you convert from trade to cash, barter still may have a place in your business. It just might be a different place than you originally intended. Geoff Karcher, CEO of the Karcher Group, an Internet marketing agency in Canton, Ohio, began bartering for goods and services as soon as he launched his company in 1997. That's how he scored free video rentals all year from a local chain, Video Time, for his four earliest full-time employees. He's since turned at least 20 barter clients into paying customers. But he continues to strike barter deals -- not to save money but to establish ties to the community, providing Web design and hosting services to everyone from the local chamber of commerce to the Jewish Community Center. "When companies first start," he says, "they most often barter to gain access to what is otherwise not affordable. But more mature businesses barter to help other organizations -- and get value out of helping them." So if you do turn a charity case into a cash customer, remember that you are giving up value beyond dollars -- namely the ability to wear your halo out on the town.
Barter 101
Write a contract
When beginning a barter relationship, build in an expiration date to ease the transition from trade to cash.
It can't hurt to ask
A client who has been trading for your services might be perfectly willing to start paying real money.
Give plenty of warning
Waiting until the last minute will alienate clients, and ruin your chances of converting them from trade to cash.

National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month: He loves me… He loves me not…
February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Teen Dating Violence (DV) Prevention and Awareness Month is a national effort to raise awareness about abuse in teen and 20-something relationships and promote programs that prevent it during the month of February.
Like domestic violence, teen dating violence is a pattern of controlling, and abusive behaviors of one person over another within a romantic relationship. It can include verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse. It can occur in both heterosexual and homosexual relationships. It knows no boundaries and crosses race, socio-economic status, culture, and religion. Violence can happen to anyone.
Annually, 1 out of 11 adolescents reports being a victim of physical dating abuse (CDC 2006). Many of these cases of teen dating violence could have been prevented by helping adolescents to develop skills for healthy relationships with others (Foshee et al. 2005). Like adults, teenagers can choose better relationships when they learn to identify the early warning signs of an abusive relationship, understand that they have choices, and believe they are valuable people who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Access to information is integral to breaking the cycle of violence. Toward that goal, I would like to direct your attention to very help informational resources related to domestic violence intervention, prevention, and community outreach. For further information on teen dating violence, here are several websites you can visit: http://www.thesafespace.org; and http://www.breakthecycle.org.

MADRID (AP) -- Eurozone officials say Greece did not request financial help at a Friday meeting of all 16 countries that use the euro.
Greece's mounting debt and high cost of borrowings saw it ask for potential bailout loans of at least euro30 billion from other euro nations and the International Monetary Fund last week.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the head of the group of eurozone finance ministers said "the Greek authorities did not put forward a request" for these loans to be paid out and there was no indication that they would in coming days.
Greece has asked for Monday talks on possible loans with EU and IMF officials.

Organisations in industries such as critical infrastructure utilities, mining, telecommunications and construction have deployed millions of external assets in remote sites worldwide. These assets must be protected against theft and vandalism but they also need to be remotely monitored to ensure efficient operations. Datasat creates robust, multi-service networks delivering both functions effectively.
Key Benefits
Quickly and cost-effectively extend network infrastructure into locations beyond current reach of fibre or copper.
Robust and reliable outdoor wireless equipment that operates in the harshest environments delivering availability above 99.995%.
Layer 3 architecture places intelligence at network's edge and enables advanced QoS-based traffic management to accommodate the 'bursty' nature of surveillance data.
Multi-service network management allows monitoring and surveillance systems to operate seamlessly and securely with other network service over the same communications infrastructure.
Range of Power over Ethernet (PoE), solar and wind-based power options to enable uninterrupted network operation in highly remote areas.
Remote monitoring from anywhere on an IP network – from any web-enabled device – for field personnel to reduce response times.
Availability When It's Needed
Bandwidth is rarely an issue for remote asset management. Most monitoring data can be adequately achieved in low-bandwidth formats such as SCADA. Surveillance systems do not need to be constantly on. Instead, the network needs to be able to accommodate bursts of activity such as when an unusual motion is detected. This means that the network needs to be continually available but responsive to claim bandwidth the instant it is required. Datasat has over 20 years experience of delivering remote infrastructures solutions for critical communications so the correct level of connectivity is ensured.
Key Capabilities
• Low cost and robust network infrastructure in remote locations.
• Multi-service network architecture to support surveillance and monitoring applications on same infrastructure as other corporate network services.

Middle East
The countries that make up the Middle East are some of the most continuously inhabited, historically important, religiously diverse and disputed lands on earth. The political and religious differences between neighbours and neighbouring countries are significant. While this can offer a rich cultural diversity, too often the differences have resulted in conflict, injustice and poverty that have kept children from experiencing the freedom they need to reach their full potential.
The Middle East (including North Africa) is home to the youngest population on earth. In the last three decades, the combined youth (15-24) population has more than tripled to 88.1 million people. And, while access to education has improved, the region continues to experience the second highest level of youth unemployment in the world at more than 26 per cent.
World Vision has been working in the Middle East for more than 35 years and currently has long-term development projects in Jerusalem-West Bank-Gaza and Lebanon.
In addition to on-going long-term development work, World Vision is working directly and through partner organizations to support the needs of those affected by increased violence in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq and is also helping families in Gaza as they attempt to rebuild their lives after the most recent conflict.

Building upon the aspirations and skills of the young people with whom we work, the mission of Steps to Success is to enhance educational outcomes for students from low-income families in order to defeat the cycle of poverty.
Steps to Success (STS) was launched in 2001, with the aid of a six-year federal grant, as a partnership among individual community members in Brookline, Massachusetts, the Brookline Community Foundation, the Public Schools of Brookline, and the Brookline Public Housing Authority. Initially, the key objectives of the program were to facilitate the academic and personal success of children from low-income families, and to ensure educational equity. Home visits and support for parent participation in the Steps to Success mission were early components of the program.
Steps launched its extended learning programs (After Hours University and Teen Advantage) in 2004. As the students in the STS program reached their high school years, it became evident that the majority would be pursuing post-secondary education. In response, in 2009, STS established the College Success Initiative Program, to ensure that our students complete their post-secondary education.
Today, STS prepares low-income students from public housing to succeed in school and college. Together with our lead partners, the Public Schools of Brookline (PSB) and Brookline Housing Authority (BHA), STS tackles the seemingly intractable academic achievement gap between low-income students and their higher income peers.
STS is the only Brookline program addressing the educational needs of children living in these households. We provide individualized academic support and comprehensive services to students living in public housing units. Starting in grade 4, STS helps low-income students not only graduate but thrive academically in high school, matriculate into college, and obtain their college degree. We have a proven track record in narrowing the academic achievement gap between low-income students and their higher-income counterparts in Brookline.
In 2016, STS became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, with continued support from the BHA and PSB.
Steps to Success' Core Values:
Create a community based on a culture of trust and engagement
Set a standard of high expectations for all
Acknowledge and embody the power of diversity to combat systemic inequality
Everything we do is student-centered

What causes auditory neuropathy? Auditory neuropathy, also referred to as auditory dysynchrony or Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD), is considered to be a hearing disorder in which the quality of sound is distorted, much like listening to a radio station with a bad antenna. There is still some uncertainty about what causes ANSD, but the outer and inner hair cells of the cochlea are cited as the source of the distortion in sound perception.
The effect of ANSD varies widely and the level of hearing can range from normal to severe. However, poor speech perception is a feature of ANSD and may not be correlated with the degree of hearing loss.
ANSD is typically diagnosed using a series of three audiological tests. Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) tests determine the functional level of the outer hair cells. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests use electrodes on the heads to detect how the brain or, more specifically, the hearing nerve, is responding to sound. The third test includes testing the middle ear muscle reflex. In the case of ANSD, loud sounds typically do not trigger the reflex.
In summary, ANSD is a complex diagnosis with a significant impact on speech perception, which impacts language acquisition and development. As Cued Speech provides clear, visual access to the language being spoken, it resolves the ambiguity of speech that occurs in the presence of ANSD.

To be honest, I'd forgotten I had a Madeit shop and it was totally empty. Most of my customers used to be from the U.S. so my Etsy shop was more convenient, but now almost 100% of my buyers are Australian (which is wonderful!) So, I'm very happy to have it re-stocked in time for Christmas.
Hand dyed rainbow dress
Hand dyed tiered skirt. Fully customisable in size and colour :)
PDF Embroidery pattern.
I have more listings to add including some new embroidery patterns - yes they're coming, but it's slow work, in my case picture snail pace :)
I'd love for you to pop over to my Madeit shop and take a look. Have a good sticky beak while you're over there, it's changed a lot since I first opened the shop and there are so many beautiful things from so many talented artisans.

The MUA voyage is a story of 4 boats from 4 different departure ports from the Pacific islands to one final destination to deliver a message about their concern on climate change!
They are not just any boats! They are Vakas – the traditional ships of the pacific islands! The daring adventure began with the first vaka Marumaru which set sail from Cook Islands on the 23rd September to Samoa where it joined with the second vaka Gaualofa. Then both the vakas set sail to Fiji where a third traditional ship Uto Ni Yalo was waiting for them to set sail to Vanuatu and on to Brisbane then down the eastern coastline towards Sydney. The fourth ship Haunui left Auckland, New Zealand, to sail across and meet the three other vakas on their way to Sydney down the Australian coastline.
All the four vakas finally anchored in Sydney harbour at 9 am local time on 12 November 2014, just on time for the inauguration of the 6th World Parks Congress. They were welcomed with great fan fare by a large public and officials from different countries.
This is not just an ordinary voyage. Their drums are the voices of their People. Their sails are flags of hope. Their vakas (canoes) are symbols of their communities who have lived as one with nature and over the centuries have forged an important relationship with the endless ocean surrounding them. The ocean is their livelihood, culture and identity!
Today, their very survival is at stake because their existence is threatened by overexploitation of the sea, destruction of coral reefs and mangrove forests, rising sea levels and ocean acidification. So the vakas have been sailing from island to island to create awareness and carry a special message to the 6th World Parks Congress, organized by IUCN. It is a Pacific Promise, a global call for action, it is the MUA message:
The president of Palau gave an interview stressing the importance of this voyage and the message behind it :
You can track their voyage towards Sydney on their website: http://www.muavoyage.com/voyage-to-sydney/track-the-voyage/
To support their cause please join their Facebook page! More than 700 fans are already supporting them!
Check out some images of their arrival in Darling Harbour where a traditional welcome ceremonie was held !

COBWEB CORNERS: Gold and the area's earliest towns
By Mel McFarland
In 1858, substantial finds of gold were reported in Colorado. Once word spread that the claims were valid, the rush was on.
The westward push was led by the cry, "Pike's Peak or Bust!" Most had no idea where this gold was, but many knew where Pike's Peak was! The real hot spot was where Cherry Creek met the Platte River (now the Denver area).
Prospectors soon headed from there into the mountains looking for the "mother lode." Old Indian trails provided foot or horseback access to mountain mining camps. One of these was Ute Pass. The earliest settlers had given it that name because of the tribe that regularly traveled it. Fountain Creek flowed beside parts of the trail. Occasionally prospectors turned up gold there, but never enough to cause any excitement. One of the early residents who had lived below Pike's Peak was "Uncle Dick" Wootton. He lived up a valley near the base of the mountains. As more people moved in and things got more crowded, he moved south near Pueblo.
A group from Lawrence, Kan., settled across the river from the old Fort Pueblo ruins in 1858 at the junction of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek. They called their community Fontaine (or Fountain) City. Some of the remaining adobe blocks from the old fort were incorporated into new buildings. Later another camp started south of the river and west of Fontaine City. It was called Pueblo.
An unorganized camp near the mouth of Ute Pass was called El Paso City. It grew out of the settlers' attempts to use the Indians' mountain trail. Later a camp named El Dorado was equally short-lived. In August 1859, R. E. Cable, Melancthon S. Beach and several others organized Colorado City near the site of the earlier unsuccessful communities. The camp turned into an organized town that became a pivotal point for miners and other travelers heading into the mountains. We have Territory Days to remember those times. Our history does not just go back to July 1862, when the first territorial legislature met in Colorado City.

Inmate's lawyer demands release of alleged Hernandez note
Representatives for the Hernandez family have said no such note exists.
Representatives for the Hernandez family have said no such note exists.
Advocates say unverified reports about Aaron Hernandez's sexuality are not relevant to his crimes or his suicide.
A judge ordered that Aaron Hernandez's suicide notes be released to the family after an emergency motion was filed.
Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, Jonathan "DJ" Hernandez, and Hernandez's mother, Terri Hernandez, were in attendance.
Relatives, friends, and former teammates gathered in Aaron Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Conn., on Monday.
The attorney for Hernandez's fiancee said she may sue state prison officials for failing to prevent his suicide.
Court papers detail the information the long-time fiancee of Aaron Hernandez wants from the Department of Correction.
Hernandez may technically become an innocent man in his death, thanks to a legal principle called "abatement ab initio."
The announcement came hours after Hernandez's attorney accused the state of withholding the brain illegally.
Medical examiners "concluded today that the manner of death was suicide and the cause asphyxia by hanging."
Aaron Hernandez had marked his forehead with a reference to "John 3:16," and three notes were found next to a Bible in his cell.
The verse first leapt into popular culture in the 1970s when born-again Christians started holding "John 3:16" signs at stadiums.
"Anytime anybody kills themselves in a prison, something clearly went wrong," the governor said.
The former Patriots star committed suicide in his cell Wednesday morning, the Department of Correction said. Hernandez's lawyer said he will conduct his own investigation.
Hernandez began each day at his most recent trial smiling. And sometimes he had a hard time keeping himself from laughing.
Signed cards, jerseys, and photographs of the former New England Patriots player seemed to flood the website Wednesday.
"The family and legal team is shocked and surprised at the news of Aaron's death," Jose Baez said.
Hernandez's life, and now his death, has become a window into and something of an indictment of what we value and idolize.
An advocate said she had never heard of an inmate hanging himself using a sheet and a window at Souza-Baranowski prison.
In the eyes of the state, Aaron Hernandez died an innocent man thanks to an archaic legal principle called "abatement ab initio."
The rate of prison suicides in Mass. between 2001 and 2014 was the fourth-highest in the country, about twice the national average.
Hernandez wasted his talent — on the football field and in his life.
Here's what's known so far about the death of the former New England Patriots star.
Dolphins lineman Mike Pouncey indicated the two had spoken recently in a message posted to Instagram.
Ben Volin
Many were affected as the former Patriots star's life spiraled downward.

Smt. Preeti Sudan, Secretary (HFW) chaired the 27th Meeting of the Polio India Expert Advisory Group (IEAG) to review the country programme activities and make recommendations, here today. The expert member group concluded that 'the country is on the right track'. The experts commended the strong leadership of the Government of India, as well as the ownership of the state governments to for maintaining polio-free status for more than seven years andensuring that every child is vaccinated against the disease. The last case of polio in India was reported in January 2011. The programme has ensured adequate protection of children through both mass polio vaccination campaigns and childhood immunization.
Speaking at the meeting, Smt. Preeti Sudan said that there are two types of polio vaccine - oral polio vaccine and injectable polio vaccine, which are both used in India to provide enhanced protection. "We need to ensure that every child in India must receive at least three doses of OPV and two doses of IPV during infancy. This in an invaluable investment for child health in India" SmtPreeti Sudan added. She further said that the nationwide polio campaigns should continue along with routine immunization strengthening initiatives such as Mission Indradhanush, Gram SwarajAbhiyan, and Extended-Gram SwarajAbhiyan.
Dr. Michel Zaffran – Head of Polio Eradication, WHO stated that globally the world is closer to polio eradication than ever before. Eleven cases have been registered in 2018 in only two countries – Afghanistan and Pakistan. "The experts appreciate the example that India sets for the rest of the world. By eliminating polio in India, the country has demonstrated that global polio eradication is feasible and within reach," he added.
The group of experts appreciated the efforts of India in using both oral and injectable polio vaccines and recommends that this be continued so that no child in India gets paralyzed ever again. Community participation remains an integral part of polio vaccination efforts in the country. The expert group noted that more than 23 lakh vaccinators are mobilized to support every polio mass campaign during which 17 crores children get the oral polio drops.

Eve (Hebrew: חַוָּה, Classical Hebrew: Ḥawwāh, Modern Israeli Hebrew: Khavah, Arabic: حواء, Syriac: ܚܘܐ, Tigrinya: ሕይዋን? or Hiywan) is a figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, in most Abrahamic traditions identified as the first woman. "Eve" in the Hebrew language is Ḥawwāh, meaning: "living one" or "source of life", and is related to ḥāyâ, "to live", derived from the Semitic root ḥyw.

Quotes about Eve[edit]

- God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
- And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
- When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
- Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
- Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent and the serpent didn't have a leg to stand on.
- Charles R. Gerber, in Healing for a Bitter Heart: Releasing the Power of Forgiveness
- Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.
- When Eve upon the first of Men
The apple press'd with specious cant,
Oh! what a thousand pities then
That Adam was not adamant!
- None of us can boast about the morality of our ancestors. The record does not show that Adam and Eve were ever married.
- When our first parents were driven out of Paradise, Adam is believed to have remarked to Eve: "My dear, we live in an age of transition".
- W.R. Inge, in World Wide Agora, p. 22
- Oh, Adam was a gardener and God who
made him sees
That half a proper gardener's work is done
upon his knees.
- Rudyard Kipling, in "The Routledge Dictionary of Religious & Spiritual Quotations", p. 84
- The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But, when we turn further, and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, then, all begins to grow clear and legible.
- Max Muller, in Memories: A Story of German Love, p. 21
- Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told
(The witch he loved before the gift of Eve)
That, ere, the snake's, her sweet tongue
could deceive,
And her enchanter hair was the first gold.
- Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in "The Routledge Dictionary of Religious & Spiritual Quotations", p. 84
- Although her disobedience is tragic, Eve's innocence is not all bad. Certainly, that innocence leads her to make a poor choice - the very worst - but the fact that she makes a choice at all, the fact that she engages the Devil in a debate which could go either way, the fact that she acts without God breathing down her neck - all speak for her free will or, what amounts to the same thing, her margin for error. It is from this margin for error that freedom springs, because you can't be free to right unless you can be free to be wrong.
- "Had it not been for Eve, woman would have never acted unfaithfully towards the husband." (3471).
- Sahih Muslim. Quoted from Ram Swarup, Understanding Islam through Hadis, 1983. [1]
- Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was, that they escaped teething.
- Mark Twain, in "The Routledge Dictionary of Religious & Spiritual Quotations", p. 84
- After all these years I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.
- Mark Twain, in The Complete Short Stories of Mark Twain, p. 202
- Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women. It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it.

She gave one to Adam
Who said, "Thank you, Madam",
And then both skeddaled from Eden
- In p. 12
- In the Garden of Eden sat Adam,
Disporting himself with his madam,
She was filled with elation,
For in all of creation,
There was only one man – and she had'm.
- In p. 12
- An Englishman, a Frenchman, and a Russian were arguing about the nationality of Adam and Eve.
"They must have been English", declares the Englishman. "Only a gentleman would share his last apple with a woman."
"They were undoubtedly French", says, the Frenchman. "Who else could seduce a woman so easily?"
"I think they were Russians", says the Russian. "After all, who else could walk stark-naked, feed on one apple between the two of them and think they are in Paradise?"

Kids not sleeping? Cut the screen time, researchers say
Two new studies may make you want to reconsider that strategy.
Kids who spent too much time with televisions and the Internet were much more likely to report sleep problems and depression.
In "Media Use and Child Sleep: The Impact of Content, Timing, and Environment," published online June 27 in Pediatrics, researchers who studied 600 Seattle preschoolers found that seeing violent content, daytime or nighttime, made it tough for the little ones to sleep.
Any screen time at all after 7 p.m., regardless of whether it was Angelina Ballerina or Clone Wars, dramatically increased the odds that children would sleep poorly.
"Early childhood sleep disruption has been associated with obesity, behavior problems, and poor school performance," said Dr. Michelle M. Garrison, of Seattle Children's Research Institute, in a statement.
"We advise parents to choose non-violent media content, and to avoid media screentime entirely during the hour before bed. Removing televisions and other media devices from the child's bedroom can be an important first step. "
Another study surveyed 307 college students at two U.S. universities, and found a correlation between time spent on the Internet and levels of depression.
Psychologists are studying whether excessive Internet use can be considered an addiction.
The researchers found that students reporting moderate to severe depression were 24 times more likely to exhibit problematic Internet use.

A man who relieved himself on an Aughnacloy woman's porch has been told to stay south of the border if he wishes to remain out of custody.
East Tyrone Magistrate's Court heard a solicitor for 47-year-old Thomas McDonagh appeal to the judge to keep his client out of prison claiming that the defendant - who is from Clones - was "willing to do anything" to remain out of custody.
Noting that the vast majority of McDonagh's offences occurred in the border area, District Judge Bernadette Kelly replied, "If he stayed south of the border, that would help."
The court had heard how the injured party had returned to her home with her children on Caledon Road in Aughnacloy on the afternoon of May 5 when she heard glass smashing outside.
She went to investigate where she saw McDonagh on her wall at the side of her house. There was a broken beer bottle nearby.
As she approached he undid the front of his jeans and began urinating.
The resident ordered him to stop and to "put it away" but he continued to relieve himself as he walked towards her as she stood near her door and said, "Hello missus."
Mr Craig Patton, defending, told the court that the facts were "unsavoury ... especially as it happened at a single parent household" but stated that his demeanor had not become agressive.
He said that his client had been at his cousin's funeral and was "so drunk that he couldn't even hold a bottle" having been drinking for a long time that day.
Judge Kelly noted that the offence occurred at a time in the afternoon when children would've been coming home from school.
"This was disgraceful behaviour," she told McDonagh. "I fear to think what could have occurred when you chose this lady's porch as a public urinal."
She then handed down prison sentences totalling six months which she suspended for two years.

A flytipper who dumped household waste on farmland claimed that he believed the animals would be able to eat it – despite it including plastic rubbish.
Zafar Haider Baig, 28, of Langstone Court, Aylesbury dumped waste off Haddenham Road, Kingsey in July 2014.
When it was examined a link to an Aylesbury address was found within it.
During an interview with an investigator, Baig admitted dumping the waste saying he thought that the farm animals could eat what he had left behind, even though the waste included plastic packaging materials.
Magistrates fined Baig £240 and ordered him to pay clean-up and prosecution costs of £732.
A victim surcharge of £24 was also handed out, meaning Baig must pay £996.
The case was prosecuted by Bucks County Council working on behalf of the Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire.
The partnership has secured 460 convictions for illegal dumping offences since its setting up in 2003.

I think that using access.db and relay-domains > may also work as needed. Sendmail will only look in virtusertable if it considers the address local (i.e. you've added the target domain to local-host-names). That means you'll have to use some other name for the delivery target in the virtusertable expansion side to get it to forward on. Probably whatever you are using in mailertable will work. You might be able to use user@[host.domain] notation or user@[IP_address] there to avoid another MX lookup that would come back to the relay - I'm not sure about that. You'll probably have to do some testing with this part since it is a fairly drastic change to make the targets local - but you can do it one domain at a time. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Biological Hydrogen Production from Corn-Syrup Waste Using a Novel System
Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada

Energies 2009, 2(2), 445-455; https://doi.org/10.3390/en20200445
Received: 31 May 2009 / Revised: 10 June 2009 / Accepted: 19 June 2009 / Published: 24 June 2009
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Biofuels: Energy and Fuels, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences)
AbstractThe reported patent-pending system comprises a novel biohydrogen reactor with a gravity settler for decoupling of SRT from HRT. The biohydrogenator was operated for 100 days at 37 °C, hydraulic retention time 8 h and solids retention time ranging from 2.2–2.5 days. The feed was a corn-syrup waste generated as a byproduct from an industrial facility for bioethanol production located in southwestern Ontario, Canada. The system was initially started up with a synthetic feed containing glucose at concentration of 8 g/L and other essential inorganics. Anaerobicaly-digested sludge from the St. Mary's wastewater treatment plant (St. Mary, Ontario, Canada) was used as the seed, and was heat treated at 70 °C for 30 min to inhibit methanogens. After 10 days, when the hydrogen production was steady, the corn-syrup waste was introduced to the system. Glucose was the main constituent in the corn-syrup; its concentration was varied over a period of 90 days from 8 to 25 g/L. The change in glucose concentration was used to study the impact of variable organic loading on the stability of hydrogen production in the biohydrogenator. Hydrogen production rate increased from 10 L H2/L·d to 34 L H2/L·d with the increase of organic loading rate (OLR) from 26 to 81 gCOD/L·d, while a maximum hydrogen yield of 430 mL H2/gCOD was achieved in the system with an overall average of 385 mL H2/gCOD.

Blogs > Burney's Bytes
Burney's Bytes will focus primarily on the local preps sports scene, but will also touch on some college and pro athletics, mostly in regards to athletes who hail and have played high school sports in Oakland County. My goal for the blog is to be conversational and anecdotal, a more relaxed and free formal take on high school athletics than you see in regular game day coverage.

Forget about basketball and horse racing.
Ferndale star athlete Eric Ellis is going to the Bluegrass state for football.
Ellis, a two-time all-OAA pick at quarterback, signed a National Letter of Intent with Kentucky State last week. A slithery and strong-armed 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Ellis is a natural leader and a genuine "sleeper special" under center, having showed his poise and accuracy in the pocket for the Eagles in both his junior and senior seasons on the gridiron. He has the ability to throw a nice deep ball and connect on tight-spiraled mid-range routes. He can also beat teams with his legs if his protection breaks down and out-think the opposition if they give him too much room to roam in their protection schemes.
Back in the fall, he threw for 1,250 yards and 12 touchdowns (against only four interceptions).
During his time as the school's starting signal-caller, Ferndale only went 7-11, however almost all of the Eagles losses came down to the wire and could have easily gone the other way.
Kentucky State went 2-8 in 2012.
The Thorobreds hired Josh Deane as their new coach earlier this month. KSU's 2012 roster featured 10 players from the state of Michigan, three of them (Southfield-Lathrup's Anthony Johnson-Bradford and Ben Holloway and Oak Park's Isaiah Magee-Robinson) spawning from Oakland County.

ESSEN, Germany - Strong concern expressed by euro-zone financial leaders moved the Group of Seven nations to suggest the yen's weakness against the euro should be corrected to reflect expectations Japan's economic recovery will continue.
Even so, the yen may remain weak against the euro for now as Japanese interest rates are expected to remain below those in the euro zone.
The yen's fall to record lows against the euro has emerged as a major focus of attention, with euro-zone politicians voicing concern that the Japanese currency's further fall will dampen the competitiveness of European exports. The yen weakened against the euro by 13 percent in the past year.
Japan feared that if the weak yen was singled out in statements issued at the end the meeting of G7 financial leaders and the yen staged a sharp rebound, it would cast cold water on the recovery by weakening Japanese companies' international competitiveness.
The chairman's statement was ambiguous about the G7's stance on the yen's depreciation against the euro.
"The euro area is experiencing an increasingly broad-based upswing" and "Japan's recovery is on track and is expected to continue," the statement said. "We are confident that the implications of these developments will be recognized by market participants and will be incorporated in their assessment of risks."
These phrases, added to a statement which says, "We reaffirm that exchange rates should reflect economic fundamentals," are apparently a product of compromise between Japan and the euro-zone G7 members.
Analysts say Japan can argue the current yen-euro exchange rates do not deviate from economic fundamentals as the Japanese currency was not singled out in the statement, while euro-zone members can say the new phrases indicate the G7's view that the yen should rebound against the euro to better reflect Japan's economic recovery.
Finance Minister Koji Omi told a news conference after the meeting that the newly inserted language does not indicate the need to correct the yen's weakness against the euro.
However, he added these phrases mean exchange markets should recognize the risks of moving unilaterally in a certain direction.
Omi's remarks suggest the new wording is aimed at curbing yen-carry trade, in which investors borrow yen funds at low interest rates and invest them in higher yielding assets denominated in the dollar and other currencies.
Yen-carry trade has become popular amid Japan's extremely low interest rates, increasing the risk of volatile movements in financial markets when investors unwind their positions.
Apparently referring to the inserted wording, German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck, who chaired the meeting, indicated the G7 nations agreed on the need to correct the yen's weakness to reflect Japan's economic growth.
Given the interest rate gap between Japan and the euro zone, however, it remains unclear whether the yen will gradually rise against the euro on the back of Japan's ongoing recovery.
Likewise, yen-carry trade, driven by hedge funds, may not subside as long as Japanese interest rates remain low.
Last July, the Bank of Japan abandoned its "zero interest rate policy" and raised the key short-term rate to 0.25 percent, the first rate hike in six years. Since then, the rate has remained unchanged at that level, the lowest among the G7 nations.
The European Central Bank maintains its benchmark rate at 3.5 percent. The ECB is widely expected to raise the rate next month to keep inflation at bay.
Although the BOJ is eager to raise the unsecured overnight call money rate from the current level to "normalize" its monetary policy, it faces high hurdles — weak private consumption, soft consumer price index data and domestic political pressure.
BOJ Gov. Toshihiko Fukui, showing willingness for a near-term interest rate hike, told reporters during the G7 meeting Japan's central bank will hold a "more solid" debate on whether to raise interest rates when its Policy Board meets Feb. 20 and 21.
Many BOJ watchers believe the chances are slim it will hike the overnight call money rate at the upcoming policy meeting.
Some predict that expected year-on-year falls in the core nationwide consumer price index from the spring and the House of Councilors election in July will force the BOJ to delay the next rate hike until fall or even later if it misses the February meeting.
"Should the BOJ not hike the overnight lending rate with the upbeat GDP result, the yen is likely to keep falling against the euro," said Hiromichi Shirakawa, chief economist at Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) Ltd.
If the BOJ can't raise interest rates and the yen remains weak against the euro and other currencies, it is certain Japan will face fresh pressure from euro-zone G7 nations to do something.

With events such as World Masters Games and Maadi Cup taking place this month, athletes of all ages are pushing hard to peak for their events – many putting in some serious hours on the track/field/gym/water.
While many have a well thought out plan around their fitness, technique and physical preparation, what about recovery? Often athletes juggle work and family commitments, as well as their training. With multiple commitments and a busy schedule, it is likely your body will need some extra nutritional support.
When you train and work harder – you need more nutrition. And I do not mean the empty nutritional value of the white sugar and white flour kind. Food based around these ingredients may give you a fast lift for that immediate moment, but without any beneficial or long-lasting nutrients. Due to the acidic nature, in the medium to long-term this type of food can cause a weakening of your systems. You might already be noticing this through skin conditions, coughs/colds/sinus problems, digestive complaints or tiredness that will not go away.
There are choices available to get better nutritional results in a non-acidic way. This can help with recovery, as well as stamina and improved results.
Start off with basic daily nutritional care.
Add alkalising and energising green vegetables or red fruits powder to your daily smoothie or breakfast. There is only so much nutrition we can get from our daily food regime. If you are training hard or finding energy and recovery tough, this will give extra nutrition above your good diet. Remember supplementing in no way should take the place of your daily diet.
Add electrolytes to your water. Electrolytes are needed for energy and recovery. Use the ones without sugar. I recommend ELETE Electrolytes.
Using protein – choose one that can be absorbed more easily. Rice and pea powder are among the better options. There are also brands that have all the easily absorbed high protein powders, with added vegetables, fruit, enzymes and probiotics. Choose one that suits you and your lifestyle. Check for hidden artificial ingredients. They are not necessary. RAW is good brand. RED 8 another. Get advice and take as directed.
When your body is not getting enough nutrients or is too tired, it shows you in a variety of ways. Some of these are:
– Skin through inflamed skin conditions.
– Immunity through low grade infections that will not fully go away.
– The digestive system through acid burn, bloating or wind.
Remember – a high protein diet often slows digestion. Work with roughage, hydration and diet to ensure regular movements. This is important if you want better results and recovery with your sport. If your body is working hard to fight inflammation or infection, then all your recovery and results will in part be taken up by this complaint. Added toxicity also lessens capacity, recovery and energy.
What to do to prevent toxicity and problems:
– Eat a well-balanced diet. Hydrate and get enough sleep.
– Work on reducing acidity and inflammation to ensure your body can give you the best results and best of health.
– Listen to your symptoms – work with your body to maintain the best of health. Find out what can be done/changed to enable your body to function normally.
Get advice from your natural health professional and make sure the products you choose are suited to your specific requirements and lifestyle.
Always take any supplements as directed. And if symptoms persist see your health professional.
