Mystery count part 2 - Ghost cards???
Didn't not get the right answer on my last thread (Mystery count, dated May 11th), so I'm starting this one. When I go to my organize to "all items in collection" page, the top it shows a total of 62,445 items. Half way to the right of the page in the viewing records, it shows 1 - 100 of 62,431 for a difference of 14 items. I did a search in my organize and found out there's a difference of 13 in the "Want List" count and a difference of 1 in the "Keeps" count. Can you help solving the mystery?
I collect Montreal Canadiens stuffs.

RE: Mystery count part 2 - Ghost cards???
You are correct - if an item is not assigned to a collection it still should appear in the "All Items" collection. Understanding that you went through all your pages to look at the tags, it may be possible for your cards to be tagged to a collection that no longer exists. I have not seen this particular case, but from other "features" I would guess this is possible.
The only suggestion I can make to track this down is to use the color feature of the collections. Start by making all your collections a single color (and check that all collections showing up in "Manage" appear on the Nav Bar). Then you can scroll through "All Items" quickly to see if there are any tags that are un-colored.
If that does work, you will have to do a collection by collection match. Change one collection a different color, and do the count. This is not optimum, but until Beckett allows an Excel download, I can't think of any better way.

Take a moment to read through the testimonials of satisfied patients who have received superb care from Dr. Park. You can be certain that your loved ones also will be receive the best care from Dr. Park.
The treatment provided by Dr. Park has been exceptional. He always asks what my concern is for the season, whether it is ART® or adjustment.
The improvement my body has made during the last two years is fantastic. I sleep better, fewer headaches, and less body pain in shoulders, neck, back, and hips.
Thank you, Dr. Park, for putting my life back to an active status.
I started my ART® treatment in November 2012 and after about 2~3 weeks I noticed a big difference in my ankle. I was having better range of motion and I could walk without limping or being in pain. I had a follow up appointment in January 2013 with my surgeon and he could not believe the improvement in my ankle and told me to keep up with ART®.
Dr. Park has made me a believer in ART®! Dr. Park is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail to you. He has been a great help to me in a very short time frame. I will continue my treatment and highly recommend that if you are considering Active Release Techniques®, to let Dr. Park work his magic.
I am a runner, so I add additional stress on my skeletal structure as well as my muscles on a daily basis. The stress put on my muscles had always led to aches and pains…. ART treatment has been a tremendous help to me.
With the help of Dr. Park and ART® treatment, running is fun and enjoyable again.
I have been a fast pitch softball player for over 45 years and developed hip flexor, extensor and rotator problems in my left hip. (Also old age 63).
Dr. Park has been treating my condition for the last month which has given me the freedom to continue my pitching!
I highly recommend his great knowledge of muscle problems and thank him for his caring and assistance.
Treatment with Dr. Park has definitely eased my everyday life.
Ever since I came in for my adjustments and ART®, I've experienced less and less pain. Tension in my back and shoulder has reduced drastically, and I've always been known to have extreme tension problems. I feel more relaxed and have more mobility as an active athlete training for Tough Mudder.
Dr. Park is very attentive and definitely is attuned to his patients' needs.
I have suffered from lower back and neck pain for years and now I can say I've gotten better. I used to have pain and discomfort sitting for a long period of time as well as pain sleeping on my back. Now, I feel better and feel a huge improvement. The shoulder pain Dr. Park was treating also has gotten better. My neck, shoulder and back muscles have improved a lot. I highly recommend ART® treatment with adjustments. It works!
Dr. Park helped me, and he can help you too.
After suffering from continual pain in my elbows and thumbs for most of the summer of 2013, I started ART® treatment with Dr. Park.
Within a month, the pain was gone and now I have more range of motion in my shoulders and arms than I have had in years.
After having ART® treatment with Dr. Park, my right shoulder, which has given me many problems in flexibility and strength improved quite nicely.
I have noticed my soreness has been decreasing and regain much elasticity in my muscles.
Now when I am doing sports or weight lifting, I feel renewed as my right shoulder is no longer as tender.
Dr. Park's technique is invigorating and enlightening.
It has been a tremendous transformation for me in the last year and a half.
I started with neck and shoulder problems running along my nerve, hindering me from sleeping, let alone working out! But because I try to stay active, Dr. Park's adjustments coupled with ART® treatment have made me forget I even had issues!
Before chiropractic care, I could barely run. As an ex-track athlete, being able to run is important to me. Since receiving treatment, I have been able to run more and further than before.
When I mention to him that I am feeling more discomfort of pain in certain areas of my upper body, Dr. Park really takes the time and focuses that day of treatment to those areas. With just having a new baby and working full time, it is hard to find the time to rest my body in order to heal correctly. But the knowledge and help that Dr. Park has bestowed on me has helped me greatly.

Tool Holders Aid the Machining Process
In the machining industry, a tool holder is essential to productivity. Tool holders there are used not for mere storage of tools, but to secure tools in a CNC machining device, and thereby maintain accurate tooling standards. As a result, tool holders are not just used as a place to rest tools, but are essential for machining itself. How tool holders functions in a manufacturing process depends on how well they can help to mold machines. All machining tools either constrain the workpiece or provide guiding movement for that part of the machine. The placement of the shank is one application. As a shank is rectangular and relatively long section of tool holders that gets clamped to a turret, placement has some variation relative to a tool presetter. As a result, they are often used in high velocity applications with various tool presetters. Tool holders are still an important element of machining. 939,700 people were employed in machining in 2010 alone, meaning there is a large market for tool holders. As machining becomes ever more precise, manufacturers will develop more holders that can withstand higher velocity applications.
BES Security Policy
New studies show BYOD policies becoming more popular, which around two thirds of employees asking their IT departments to allow them to use their own device for work. One of the most popular devices used for business purposes is the BlackBerry device, and even President Obama uses a BlackBerry device. A BES security policy is absolutely necessary for increasing the overall security of a business's network. Finding the best BES policy is achieved by first understanding what type of solutions are needed for increasing security. In other words, the best BES security policy is totally dependent on the specific needs of a business. Blackberry mobile device management software offers a wide range of benefits, including compatibility options with the cloud. The cloud is a scalable and secure solution for online processes, and can be used in conjunction with BYOD policies. One of the main reasons why BlackBerry devices are praised is the level of security they provide. Research in Motion is BlackBerry's parent company, which hopes to see a trend of BYOD policies to increase in the future. More information about how a Bes security policy can increase the productivity of a company is easily found online. Some security policies provide the ability to wipe sensitive data from mobile devices that are lost or stolen.
Louisville Dentists Can Help You Get Over Odontophobia, Or The Fear Of Dentists
While tooth loss in dental patients that are 35 years old or younger is often the result of getting into a fight, an accident or due to athletic trauma, some people end up losing teeth for the simple reason of poor care of their gums, canines and bicuspids. This is why certain patients require dental implants louisville dental clinics have available. A dentist Louisville KY residents can count on to do the right thing every time they visit their clinic will typically be the type of Louisville dental expert that has been active for a long time. Some Louisville dentistry services, especially an emergency dentist louisville ky patients require, will be very expensive. Finding a balance between quality and cost should be a priority for you as a dental patient in the Louisville area. Most Louisville dentists will be able to work with you to help you get your teeth just healthy enough to work, though they may not be able to provide cosmetic services unless you are able to pay out of pocket or through insurance. Though the enamel in teeth is among the hardest surfaces in the human anatomy, and while teeth are as unique as fingerprints and never come in identical sets even between twins, Louisville dentists are only going to be able to help you keep your unique set of teeth in shape if you listen to them during dental visits. Louisville dentists will be able to recommend that you brush your teeth at least twice per day, and that you floss your teeth at least once every day. However, it is up to you as a patient to make sure that you take the best care of your teeth that you can. Several Louisville dentists for children will be able to help promote excellent dental habits among your young son or daughter. While the first nylon toothbrush that featured a plastic handle was invented in 1938, the near century since that invention has seen a lot of progress for house hold dental tools. It is possible for Louisville dentists to provide invisible strips to help you align your teeth, a serious advancement in orthodontic care since the early days of metal braces. You can also find teeth whitening technology that you can administer on your own for affordable prices. Speak with Louisville dentists to learn more about their services and find the most appropriate clinic for you or your children when you move to Louisville.

I wanted to share this before Father's Day, but didn't want my hubby to see it. I bought white wooden letters at Michael's and then took my boys to the park for a photo shoot. They each posed holding a letter (J was the hardest because he kept turning the D backwards). Then I printed some of my favorites and put them in this frame. I love how it turned out, and Daddy seems to love it, too!

PARK HILLS (AP) - A 5-year-old boy died after an ATV accident in southeast Missouri.
The Daily Journal newspaper reports the accident happened Sunday afternoon in the yard of a Park Hills home. The name of the child has not been released.
Police believed the boy was a passenger on an ATV driven by his father. The vehicle apparently malfunctioned, causing it to crash into a tree and flip onto the child.

A study has found that consumption of red grape juice or wine helps in improving the condition of health of overweight people by burning fats at a faster pace. The researchers also said that the chemicals that are present in the dark coloured grapes cannot guarantee you a miraculous weight loss. The Oregon State University, US claimed that these compounds can be held responsible for improving the body weight. It burns fats especially of areas near liver and helps in improving the function of liver in the overweight people. Shay added that if a proper diet strategy had to be implemented to reduce accumulation of fat in the region where livers are located then use of grapes can be really very effective.
It was also exposed that the liver and the fat cells of the human beings can be used to extract four natural chemicals in the Muscadine grapes. These grapes are dark red in colour and belong to the south – eastern part of the United States. One of the potential chemical, ellagic acid is known for slowing down the growth of existing fat cells and also develops new ones. It also enhances the metabolism of the fatty acids in the liver cells. This diet plan was also experimented with rats. The mice that were on normal diet contained only 10 percent fat while the ones who had unhealthy food contained 60% fats. The ellagic acid serves to be a powerhouse in the experiment and it lowers the blood sugar.

The rolling hills of Temecula Wine Country were alive with wine lovers at the recent Harvest Celebration and Barrel Tasting, an annual event that I especially enjoy. Winemakers and owners are side by side offering samples from the barrels and recently released bottles, getting firsthand reactions before they go to market.
First stop is the check-in area at one of the first wineries visible on the main entrance, Rancho California Road. This year it was Callaway Vineyard and Winery, where visitors picked up a "treasure map" of how to get to all the 25 participating wineries, what was being tasted and gourmet food samplings. A glass, serving tray and punch card were provided, and away we went first to Callaway.
Callaway is significant since it was Temecula's first winery, started some 40 years ago. Businessman Ely Callaway saw the future and deliberately ruled out a winery in Napa Valley. Instead, the pioneer in him came out and he built and planted on a Temecula hillside. Present ownership is now emphasizing Mediterranean varietals.
Their selections included the 2005 Special Selection Merlot and the 2005 Winemakers Reserve Chardonnay, with a barrel tasting of the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon.
We then stopped at the tucked-away Disney-style setting of Briar Rose Winery. Les and Dorian Linkogle are specializing in small-lot limited production estate reds and whites of the most premium style. You must call ahead to taste, but it is well worth it!
You can always expect the unexpected from winemaker Les, who was offering a barrel sample of a Zinfandel/Barbera blend and the world-famous Briar Rose Wine Lager Beer blend. With a twinkle in his eye, he took me back into the barrel room and together we sampled a 100-year-old barrel of Port.
It was sweet and sensuous, like no other port I have tasted.
After a lengthy reunion with Briar Rose, we set off for nearby Falkner Winery where owner Ray Falkner was offering his Gold Medal winning 2008 Sauvignon Blanc, another Gold winner, the 2005 Cabernet, and the barrel favorite, a 2007 Merlot. This estate selection had rich, dark cherry flavors and was beauty in a barrel. Falkner has a "4 for 3" sale going this month where you buy four and pay for three. The winery's Pinnacle Restaurant is offering a "Holiday Lunch Special" Nov. 27 through Nov. 29 for $55 a couple including a glass of wine each. Call (951) 676-8231 for reservations and exact hours.
On the way to stop No. 4, I noticed a huge new winery in the final finishing stages. The impressive Monte De Oro will open in early December and has an underground barrel room and panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and the valley, retail center, tasting and banquet rooms and outdoor patio. It sits across from La Cereza Vineyard and Winery, owned by my good friends, Buddy and Cheri Linn.
This is a historic Spanish-style winery, with such Old World favorites as Gold winners Garnacha and Tempranillo, and a cigar bar named after Ermest Hemingway. Their spotlight wine was the first red in the "Girlfriends" series, the Vino Rojo "Red Girlfriends," a blend of Merlot and Petite Sirah. Another new creation was the 2005 Ortpo, La Cereza's late harvest port. It's a blend of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel.
Our final stop as we ran out of time was Robert Renzoni Vineyards on the newly named De Portola Trail, south of Rancho California Road. The Renzoni family has a long history in the wine business and a year and a half ago, this vineyard was opened and billed as the true Italian style winery in Temecula. From Pinot Grigio to Sangiovese, the luscious earthy taste of old Italy floods your senses. On this day they were offering a 2008 La Rosa, a Rose of Sangiovese, along with a barrel tasting of their 2008 Tempranillo. The food sampling was a four cheese Penne Pasta, a fitting capper to a lovely day in Temecula Wine Country.

With the Little League® International Board of Directors formally adopting USA Baseball's new standard for bat performance testing, Little League International fully supports this program. For more than seventy-five years, Little League has used improvements in science, engineering, and technology to take the sport of baseball to higher levels. By utilizing the most current advancements available, manufacturers can now develop bats with a wood-like performance, which is important for the long-term success of the game. Developed by a USA Baseball committee of scientific experts, Little League Baseball® has decided to adopt the new bat standard for mandated use effective January 1, 2018. All national members of USA Baseball, including Little League, are encouraged to adopt this new standard. Little League-approved bats can be used through December 31, 2017, and our current bat regulations will be in effect until then. That includes the moratorium prohibiting the use of all 2 ¼ inch barrel baseball bats constructed with composite material in the barrel, unless approved. Visit LittleLeague.org for detailed information. Little League looks forward to working with USA Baseball, and will begin educating our local leagues, and the parents of our 2.1 million baseball players, preparing them for the important change coming in 2018.
Please note that as of January 1, 2018, the new USA Baseball Bat Standard will be implemented. Little League-approved baseball bats that are approved for use for the 2017 season will no longer be acceptable for use in any Little League game or activity starting on January 1, 2018.
DURHAM, N.C. -- USA Baseball, the national governing body for the sport of baseball in the U.S., in conjunction with participating national member organizations announced today the decision to adopt a new method for measuring bat performance in the testing of youth bats. Informed by the research of leading scientists on the USA Baseball Bat Study Committee, and supported by its NMOs, -- including the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, Little League Baseball and PONY Baseball -- USA Baseball has concluded that recent advancements in science, engineering, technology, and the materials available to fabricate non-wood bats, now allow the manufacturers to construct youth bats that can perform at a wood-like level through the entire range of lengths and weights of youth bats.
The new USA Baseball bat standard (USABat), which will apply to bats that are classified below the NCAA and NFHS level of play, will be implemented on January 1, 2018, allowing the bat manufacturers sufficient time to bring these bats to the marketplace.
"USA Baseball is pleased, with the support of our participating national member organizations, to announce the USABat standard," said USA Baseball's executive director/CEO, Paul Seiler. "Beginning with the launch in 2018, we will take another step forward in making our game more uniform at the youth level and ensuring the long-term integrity of the game."
Similar to the NCAA and NFHS BBCOR standard, which helped to eliminate discrepancies with different length bats and thus provide a more direct measure of bat performance, the new USA Baseball bat standard will allow youth baseball organizations in the United States to reach their goal of establishing a wood-like standard, a standard that will provide for the long-term integrity of the game.
There will be no immediate change to youth baseball organizations' bat rules. All bats, currently accepted for the respective leagues, remain permissible through December 31, 2017. Each participating national member organization will incorporate the new standard into their rules for the 2018 season and will begin, with this announcement, to inform their membership of the USABat standard.
Frequently Asked Questions about the USABat standard:
Which national member organizations are implementing this new standard?
To date, the following organizations are participating (in alphabetical order): American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, Little League Baseball and PONY Baseball.
Why the change to a wood-like standard?
USA Baseball's national member organizations believe that a wood-like performance standard will best provide for the long-term integrity of the game. The new standard will not have a drop-weight limit, so young players can use bats made with light-weight materials.
Why not just use wood bats?
Wood is a scarce resource. The new bats will be designed to perform much like wood, where its performance will be limited to the highest performing wood.
How is the USABat standard different from the BBCOR standard used by the NCAA and NFHS?
Both the USA Baseball and NCAA bat performance tests are based on the coefficient of restitution from a bat-ball impact. The scale of results is different, however, since they use different test balls and test speeds. The testing difference is necessary to address the various levels of play in the respective age groups.
Why is USA Baseball involved?
The national member organizations asked USA Baseball as the national governing body to take the lead in this process to establish a new standard. Many other national governing bodies set and enforce standards for the equipment in their respective sports. To that end, USA Baseball established a Bat Study Committee of leading scientists and conducted theoretical modeling, field testing and lab testing. The committee shared its findings with the national member organizations, who then endorsed the new USABat standard.
Who were the scientists on the USA Baseball Bat Study Committee?
Alan Nathan, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Illinois
Dan Russell, Ph.D. Professor of Acoustics at Penn State University
Glenn Fleisig, Ph.D. Research Director of American Sports Medicine Institute
Why wait until 2018?
The implementation date of 2018 will allow bat manufacturers sufficient time to conduct the appropriate research, design, testing, manufacturing and shipping needed to get new bats into retail outlets. This date also allows the participating national member organizations adequate time to educate their memberships of the USABat standard.
Is my current bat good for league play?
Yes. Current league-approved bats can be used through December 31, 2017.
Is safety the reason for the change?
No. Youth baseball continues to be one of the safest of all sports for youth participants.
How will I know which bat to buy?
All new bats that bear the USABat licensing mark will be permissible for play in the leagues and tournaments of the participating youth baseball organizations.
When can I buy the new bat?
It is the intention of the bat manufacturers to make the new bats available in the fall of 2017, in sufficient time for the 2018 season.

Darlings, I am in fact alive. This Fall has been such a whirlwind, these days it's all I can do to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground. This morning I'm nabbing a few moments with you before packing off to New York and New Jersey for Thanksgiving. A quick list of the things that have been filling my days the past weeks: school, school, school, work, school, friends, work, school, school, work, cooking, eating, sleeping, yoga, school, work. Exciting, no? Le sigh.
But here and there inspiring things (besides being engulfed in art) have permeated my cocoon. Of late, these seem more and more to be videos – each with its own particular story corresponding with a week I've missed here on dizzy. So, if you will indulge what may seem like three unrelated choices, I think you will enjoy them.
The first is in honor of my dear friend Savvy, who recently had a group of us over for an Indian feast and Bollywood night. She and her husband are the definition of Indian hospitality and, though I am no stranger to Bollywood, it was delightful to enjoy the film with them. This clip is from the film Dil Se, which is on the schedule for our next viewing party. I'll admit right now that I am completely obsessed. And may or may not be practicing these dance moves.
The second is from filmmaker Sebastien Montaz-Rosset, which documents a group of friends in their exploration and development of highlining and baselining. What the heck are those, you might ask? Well watch on. And try not to hold your breath the whole time. The video isn't half bad either.
Lastly, combining my love of The Man in Black and the world of art that has so engulfed me, I'd like to share The Johnny Cash Project with you. Continuing the trend of interactive music video projects, this website allows participants to submit a drawing for each frame of a video set to the song "Ain't No Grave". The community is then asked to curate the collection by voting on the best frames. While I can't say the majority are technically stunning, the overall result is a lovely, constantly evolving homage to JR. Watch the video here.
Wishing you all a wonderful week, and everyone in the U.S. a delightful Thanksgiving.

On the one hand I mildly want england to win on principle
on the other if the team get to the final the place will be unbearable
well that was fast
jaysus. the risky plays getting the ball out of england half are giving me heart attacks
tired after russian game? that game looked draining
Fucking hell, every time Pickford collects a pass to feet with a Croatian charging at him, my heart rate doubles. On the one hand, I love that England have the confidence to play out from the back rather than just blindly wellying it upfield. On the other hand, ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Man, that was something. Really thought we were 2-0 for a second, but I'll take it.
For such a young inexperienced team England are certainly playing confidently. Maybe a little too much at times.

At first sight yesterday's Quarterly Inflation Report from the Bank of England might suggest Bank Rate will start rising earlier than previously expected. However, the best guide to whether the report has changed market perceptions is to look at gilts and most gilts closed virtually unchanged.
Therefore, although the Quarterly Inflation Report indicates the Bank of England sees unemployment falling to 7% earlier than when its Guidance was introduced 3 months ago, in fact 5 quarter's earlier, the market never believed the original forecast and had already come to this conclusion, which explains why gilt yields are higher today than 3 months ago.
As far as mortgage rates are concerned there is therefore absolutely no reason to expect any rate increases (or decreases) specifically as a result of this inflation report. What will drive mortgage rates tomorrow are the same factors as were relevant yesterday.
It was widely reported that Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, said Bank statisticians foresee a 40% chance unemployment will reach the 7% threshold by the end of next year, with a 60% chance it will happen by the end of 2015. Translated this of course means the Bank thinks there is a 60% chance the trigger point won't be reached next year and its central estimate is that unemployment will hit 7% around the middle of 2015, i.e. just about the time of the General Election.
Whilst the MPC is independent, Mark Carney was chosen by The Chancellor and it is pretty clear the two are on the same page when it comes to considering the right time for an increase in Bank Rate!
Furthermore Mr. Carney, and others at The Bank, have recently highlighted on several occasions the fact that just because unemployment has fallen below 7% it doesn't automatically follow that Bank Rate will be increased. He said: "The unemployment threshold is a staging post for assessing policy and not a trigger for automatic increases in interest rates. When the threshold is reached the MPC will set the policy to balance the outlook for inflation against the need to provide continued support to the recovery in output and employment. With the recovery taking hold, our task now is to secure it."
At yesterday's Inflation Report Press Conference Mark Carney also said: "We make policy for the whole of the UK and not just for within the Circle Line." In this respect the MPC's task of setting the right level for Bank Rate is a microcosm of the ECB's problem of setting one rate for the whole of the Eurozone. It is, however, very easy for anyone based in London to forget that although the increase in house prices is now rippling out from London to most of the country, there are few places outside London where prices have recovered to the level of 6 years.
As we get closer to the likely date of the first increase in Bank Rate gilt yields, swap rates and the cost of fixed rate mortgages will start to rise but the scale of that increase will depend on how quickly the market expects rates to rise. The timing of mortgage rate increases is debatable but what is clear is the scope for rate falls is negligible, except at the high LTV end of the market as a result of a major increase in competition following the introduction of Help to Buy 2, with the non Help to Buy lenders currently making the running.
Thank you to Elliot Nathan of John Charcol for the content!

In pursuing the connection between psalm singing and persecution, we move from France to the Netherlands. Sadly, the experience of the Reformed in the Netherlands varied little from the experience of the French Reformed, as pools of bright red Reformed blood formed across the landscape of the Netherlands as the Reformed faith struggled to take root. Besides being bonded by blood, these churches were bonded by a common commitment to the singing of psalms, and it was this commitment that generated violent opposition against the Reformed church.
From the inception of Reformation in the Netherlands, there was no lack of Psalters available to Reformed Christians to help them give voice to their praise. As early as 1539 psalm books flowed from the presses in Antwerp as the Reformed faith began to gain a footing. In 1540 Souder Liedekens' complete Psalter was rolled out, eventually going through thirty-three editions. Another Dutch Psalter was produced by Jan van Utenhove who brought his own version of 100 psalm settings over from London. The introduction to Psalm 46 in this Psalter highlighted the relationship between psalm singing and persecution stating, "this psalm also aroused all those truly praising God to trust whenever the godless arose in persecution." However, the Psalter which gained widest circulation was the Marot-Beza Genevan Psalter of 1562 which was translated into Dutch first by de Heere, and then by Dathenus, the latter version being adopted officially at the Reformed synods of Wesel (1568) and Dordrecht (1574).
As the psalms began to unite the hearts and voices of the Dutch Reformed in praise and worship, it will come as no surprise that persecution was initiated against them. Strada, a Roman Catholic historian, reports that hundreds of Reformed Christians flocked to public meetings where psalms were sung in protest against the Roman Catholic magistrate. In the Netherlands, public psalm singing led to the same experience of bloodshed as it did in France. On one occasion, 300 English refugees were sent to the stake with Psalm 130 on their lips, while on others, riots broke out and arrests led to mass executions.
A series of instances of persecution against the Reformed are worth taking a moment to highlight and draw attention to, as we consider the connection between psalm singing and persecution in the Netherlands. First, in 1562 at Valenciennes, when the magistrate attempted to execute a man named Faveau and his associate for publicly preaching Reformed doctrine, a large crowd of Reformed Christians began to form and started to loudly sing the psalms. Mayhem was unleashed and the end result was that the mob of psalm singers overwhelmed the executioners, effecting the release of the prisoners. Second, in 1562 a man named Christopher Fabricius was condemned to death for preaching Protestant doctrine. While positioned on the pyre awaiting execution, Fabricius began to sing Psalm 130 and the crowd began to join their voices to his. The situation rapidly deteriorated with the executioner and civic officials turning tale and running; however, before the executioner fled in panic he thrust Fabricius through with a sword and smashed his head in, instantly killing him. Third, in 1566 Viscount Brederode began to publicly organize large public worship services as a means of civil disobedience against the magistrate. These public services, often attracting crowds measured in the thousands, consisted of preaching and psalm singing. On one occasion, Dr. Hermanus led his followers into a cathedral and preached a fiery sermon against idolatry. In response to the sermon, the crowd began to vigorously sing the psalms, which eventually led to an outburst of iconoclasm as the worshipers destroyed all the images in the cathedral. The regent was so alarmed by these public meetings that she wrote to Philip II warning him psalm singing was leading to widespread civil unrest and rebellion. Fourth, by 1574 the public singing so enraged the magistrate that the Dutch Reformed experienced their own St. Bartholomews Day massacre in Alva's Council of Blood, which effectively suppressed the public gatherings of the Reformed.
This brief survey of the early days of reformation in the Netherlands shows that the Dutch Reformed were psalm singers whose experience was one of persecution and the costly shedding of blood. While Roman Catholic oppressors hated the psalms, the Reformed found their identity and unity in them. Though the psalms were sung out of the conviction that God had prescribed them as an element of worship, they were not relegated to the Lord's Day worship alone, as the Dutch Christians made use of them at home privately and in the public square openly as a means of civil disobedience. Clearly, the Psalms were the fuel of first generation reformers in the Netherlands, giving shape to Dutch worship, piety, and practice, and would remain dominant in Dutch Reformed life for hundreds of years until the winds of 19th century liberalism would sweep over the Dutch church in the Netherlands and until the blight of revivalism and Yankee pragmatism would ravage Dutch Reformed convictions about worship in the 20th century in America. If the Dutch Reformed church would regain the robust faith of their forefathers it will need to toss out the use of manmade revivalistic hymns and junk praise songs and replace them with the Psalms, God's very own appointed manual of praise.

Soul 2 Sole from David Park on Vimeo.
The SLAM Dome wouldn't be same without the sneakers. Every month the office is washed with the latest joints (to be featured later as Kick of the Day or in the magazine). The sneaks eventually ebb back to where they came from, but more often than not, a jewel shores up that we keep for the collection. After 15 years, the Dome transformed into a sneaker treasure trove, with shoes everywhere — hanging between ceiling tiles, hidden in huge plastic containers, drawers, shelves… even INSIDE Shaq's size 22 boats!
Sneaker culture is unfathomably deep and the Dome houses but a tiny fraction of its rare treasures. The rest is out there on the streets, everywhere and anywhere. We're swimming in it all the time, wherever we go. David Park created this digital tour of some of the brightest treasures over the years. It's not easy to single-out the most important joints through sneaker history, but David deftly sweeps us through time without missing a single corner. So without any more blabbering, David now has the floor.–Ed.
There are over 30 years of sneaker history and I knew that's a lot to cover. That's why I choose only the most iconic ones for my piece. I know everybody has their favorites and some people may not agree with everything I picked, but this is just my personal take.
I wanted to make sure I made a full, thorough piece about the history of sneakers, but, at the same time, capture the fashion and people attached to them (adidas jackets, gold chains, NBA jerseys, etc.). Sneakers have become a part of our everyday lives. There are a lot of magazines and documentaries out there about sneakers. I majored in motion graphics, so I wanted to take that approach to it. As a sneakerhead, I basically wanted to cover the history of sneakers with a unique visual twist.
Picking the shoes to feature in the video wasn't easy. But in the end, I relied mostly on personal experience. I'm in my 20s so my experience with sneakers only goes so far back, but I have an advantage in that I've lived in and traveled to a lot of places around the world. Trust me, this sneaker "fetish" is universal.
It's very interesting to me that the appeal and popularity of certain sneakers is global — what's hot in the U.S. is also hot in Japan. I just had to pick which shoes had the biggest impact across borders. As far as the sneakers before my time, I relied on magazines and videos.
I fought with friends about about using phrase "sneaker culture." Many people think of sneakers as just products, commodities, and just plain "shoes." I respect sneaker designers because I look at sneakers like a piece of design, a work of art. If you're into fashion, nice sneakers will complete your look. If you're into basketball, a pair of Jordans is like having a piece of memorabilia. To sneakerheads it's not only about being flashy or being a baller — it's a hunting game of who can get their hands on these rare hidden prizes and afford them.
Compared to other sports, basketball and fashion are by far the most infused. When I go shopping for sneakers, I find basketball sneakers are usually the best designed. Even if you have the most comfortable sneaker that gives you Iverson's speed and Kobe's hops, it won't sell if it doesn't look good. Sneaker designers know this and they pay attention to the appearance too. I love watching the All-Stars because that's when everybody gets really flashy and comes with their craziest kicks!
I have a sneaker collection myself, but I'm not at Fat Joe's status yet. Be assured I'm working on it! My collection consists of Jordans, Dunks, Air Maxes, Foamposites, Blazers and Supras.
SLAM wanted to know what hoops sneaker I thought was the most influential in the past 25 years. This is really hard. I definitely cannot pick one, so I'm just going to say Air Jordans as a whole. No doubt. Specifically, I think the IIIs and the XIs. Hope you enjoyed my rendition of sneaker culture!

1) What was your favorite part about writing RUA?
Writing any dialogue where Tink was involved. He is such a fun, quirky character to write. Oh, and kissing scenes. Those are always fun!
2) What sparked the idea for this novel?
It was pretty deliberate. I knew I wanted to write a YA, and I wanted to base it on mythology. During my research I ran across the Irish legend of the "People of the Mists." I was hooked!
3) Are there any similarities between yourself and the heroine, Celeste?
I wish! I've always wanted to be a saucy redhead. We don't look or act alike, but we are both very loyal to the people who care for us and we've both moved around a lot.
4) What books have influenced you the most in your life?
The Dune series blew my mind when I was a kid. BLEW MY MIND!
5) What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of writing?
Pacing. It's tough to move the story along at just the right speed. It takes a lot of practice.
6) If you could pick a theme song for RUA, what would it be and why?
"Lights" by Ellie Goulding. Every time I hear that song, I think of the characters in the book, probably because my main character has light exploding from her hands!
7) As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An archaeologist, like Indiana Jones. I pursued it through grad school, eventually learning that it's actually a lot of outdoor manual labor. And there are ticks. And mosquitoes. And snakes.

About iOS
Apple's mobile operating system was originally named iPhone OS when it was first released to the public in 2007. It is used on all mobile iDevices, and is one of the most popular mobile operating systems in the world. It is based entirely on the concept of straightforward, easy, and intuitive usage. Nearly half of all tablets run iOS, and about a fifth of all smartphones.
Common software issues and their solutions
Problem: Screen lags, is unresponsive, or is choppy. This usually happens because one of your apps is taking up too much memory, or you have too many apps open. Specifically, certain apps or combinations of apps can cause your system to become unstable.
Repair process: Take your device to an experienced technician at iRepair. He or she will then identify what app is causing the issue and either remove it for you or explain why it is causing the problem. In some cases, malware or a virus of some sort may be present. This could require an iPad recovery mode fix. Luckily, iRepair can also assist you with backup and data recovery. iPad data recovery is most useful when frequent backups are made, so be sure to do that with iCloud.
To avoid it in the future: Only download official apps from the store, and keep track of your most recently installed apps so that you can try uninstalling them one at a time.
Problem: iTunes error message encountered when trying to perform a task.
Repair process: Write down the error message and number and deliver it to your repair technician. Each repair varies widely. These errors are rarely ever serious enough to warrant an iOS data recovery, but on rare occasion it may be necessary.
To avoid it in the future: There is no surefire way to completely avoid errors – they happen to everyone. Many of them deal with a faulty internet connection, so if anything, make sure your internet is functioning properly before accessing anything in iTunes.
Problem: Forgot passcode to unlock device.
Repair process: This happens to many people. If you have synced with a computer, unlocking a locked iPad is easy – simply connect it and you can reset the passcode. If you have not synced it and don't otherwise know how to bypass lock code on iPad, iRepair can help you go through recovery mode to do so.
To avoid it in the future: Write your password down, and be sure to sync to a computer at least once. Also if you are purchasing a used device, make sure the previous owner performed an iPad iCloud unlock or you will be completely unable to use it. There is no passcode bypass for this.
Jailbreaking: what it is and why you should (or shouldn't) do it
Many users feel that iOS is too limiting and sometimes causes more harm than good. Jailbreaking is a way of getting around these limitations. Jailbroken iPads can:
● Install more apps, including non-certified ones, using software such as Cydia or Rock;
● Access the device's file system directly;
● Modify the operating system or, in some cases, install an entirely new one;
● Change the theme of your iPad;
● Use your iPad as a mobile Wifi hotspot for other devices, as long as it is 3G enabled;
● Play more formats of videos on your iPad;
● Keep apps running in the background while you do other tasks – such as Pandora.
While jailbreaking your iPad is not illegal, it does void your warranty with Apple. If your warranty was purchased outside of Singapore this may not matter much anyway, as you can only utilize the warranty in the country it was purchased. When performing a jailbreak iPad owners who are not familiar with the process should bring the device to iRepair.
5 interesting facts about the iPad
1. There are over 1.2 million apps in the iTunes app store to-date.
2. Apple's trademark earbuds can be used as remote triggers for the iPad's camera – simply press the volume + button on a pair while it is plugged in to activate the shutter.
3. All Bluetooth keyboards should be compatible with your iPad. Combined with a docking accessory, this can turn your iPad into an efficient workstation in seconds.
4. Eight people in the world own a useless app that does nothing but display a gem on the screen. It was removed from the iTunes store a day after release. This app costed $999.99 and was called "I am rich".
5. Apple does not own the trademark for the name iOS. It is licensed from Cisco Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of various networking products. IOS in this case stands for Internetworking Operating System.

The second case sent by my friend was from Culver City, CA in 1974. A 30-something mother with two boys [ages 16 and 10] met a couple of California ghostbusters at an occult book shop and told them that her house was haunted. Naturally they were interested and made a series of interviews/investigations. The haunting phenomena were limited to moving objects and odors to begin with [one of the ghostbusters saw a flying frying pan himself] , but two others elements emerged. The woman said that she was being often "raped" by the spirits [whether she used the classic term "incubi" or not isn't stated]. She would show the investigators her bruises where she had been held by lesser demons while the larger one assaulted her. Well, who can say anything about that?--------------------------------------------------------------Then the light phenomena began, often with the investigators present. Supposedly the accompanying photo represents one such case. [It's a bit dramatically posed for my tastes]. Allegedly the walls were covered to block out any source, but the lights showed up anyway. First they would look like a spot on the covered wall. "It" was asked to blink and it did. It was asked to move away from the wall and it hovered in the air. Showing that it had good taste in music, when the son played Black Sabbath [which he said he knew it disliked] it grew angry and large. On a next night a BOL showed up and tried to assume the figure of a man [the incubus?] This show was not able to be photo'd for some reason. At the end of the week the whole thing was dying; the family moved out and the lights never re-manifested. This thing has less of an air of reliability to me but this is what is claimed.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last case comes from an eighteenth century book by Augustin Calmet entitled The Phantom World. This writing has become somewhat popular lately because it mentions vampires, and resonates with the recent craze. [I cannot relate to that as the topic is one of no interest to me at all]. But Calmet writes of many things. One of these involves a poltergeist light. -------------------------------------------------This story comes from a French Count and Countess who were traveling in the south of France and stayed at plush lodgings in Marseilles when they did. [The case dates from sometime in the 1700's but the exact date is not stated]. At the time there was a famous and much respected "natural philosopher" named Pierre Gassendi, who was regarded as both intelligent and pious. The Count sent the incidents to him for comment. [Gassendi is on the left]. ------------------------------------------------------------------What was reported was that the royals were awakened by "luminous spectres" entering their room. When the summoned servants brought in candles, the lights would disappear. [exactly as described by Catherine Crowe]. Once again all windows etc were covered to no avail. These lights hovered in the air and were sometimes "angular", sometimes spheres, sometimes ovals. You could read letters by the light, and the light itself seemed to have some symbols [undetermined] on/in it. If you attempted to grab one, it just disappeared. Most curiously perhaps, the presence of the lights gave the observers a sense of peace and pleasure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------Gassendi, an honest science-minded man, said that he honestly could not say what it was. Being a pious man, he wondered if it could be a message from GOD since the royals were good people and the lights gave pleasure. Augustin Calmet, who was a Benedictine and a scholar, begged to differ. GOD would not send such a fancy "message" and leave it undecipherable--"GOD does not jest", he said. He went on to wonder if some "natural" phenomenon could be at work, or whether the royals had some strange hallucination.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Later the Count was in Marseilles on his own and assigned to the same room. Here again came a BOL, this time seen by him penetrating the chamber "through the wainscot". -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Later still, the Countess tried to claim that she had rigged the whole affair by having a maidservant hide under the bed--this despite the inadequacy of explaining all the different light positions [including on the bed surface itself] and the Count's separate experience. Well, such noise in the case effectively ruins confidence anyway, since we have no good "in-field" investigation to refer to. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the believe-it-or-not qualities of these incidents, they contain interesting elements of strangeness that we have seen elsewhere--so perhaps were worth re-telling anyway. At least we know that Hollywood believes that poltergeists are associated with light phenomena as the screen-capture above attests [what more proof do you need?]
And "undeniably" of greatest significance: the lunar crater Gassendi is the site of more transient anomalous light phenomena [15 cases since 1900] than almost any place on the Moon. And, no, I don't think that there's any possibility of a connection whatever, so don't start a new internet growth industry.

Today was a long day but I ended up quitting at 3, even if that means I am about 8 yards behind. I did get 5 done, so that was good enough for me. I can't take the heat anymore. I started to get a headache, so I figured it would be better for me to do some of these tomorrow.
I rather not work on Saturday, but I need to do what I have to do in order to get caught up. I ended up trying to go bed early last night but couldn't sleep. I didn't get any writing done, but I am going to try tonight I think if all goes well and I can keep my eyes open.

My friend's daughter Audrey loves to cook. When Audrey and I were first getting to know each other she made me a batch of her favorite giant ginger cookies. (She thinks she got the recipe from an old Sunset magazine, but I haven't been able to find the actual source.)
The first time Audrey made these cookies for me she was about 10 years old. Now she's almost 15 and still makes these fabulous cookies. Here's what she told me about them when she was 10:
"I wanted to make these cookies because my mom always made these cookies when I was little and they tasted soooo good. The first two times I made them they didn't turn out so good (forgot to add the baking soda). The third time's the charm though. This time they turned out perfectly. I made them all by myself, without any help from mom."
Giant Ginger Cookies RecipePrint
- 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons ground ginger*
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon*
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves*
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups butter (3 sticks), room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup coarse sugar or granulated sugar
* Can substitute the ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves for an equal amount of pumpkin pie spice.
1 In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, ground ginger, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.
2 In a large mixing bowl beat together butter with the 2 cups granulated sugar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and molasses. Beat in the flour mixture, using a wooden spoon.
3 Shape dough into 2-inch balls using 1/4 cup dough. Roll balls in the 3/4 cup coarse or granulated sugar. Place about 2-1/2 inches apart on an un-greased cookie sheet.
4 Bake in a 350°F oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light brown and puffed. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Blood pressure responses to external compression of the human lower leg during calf muscle chemoreflex stimulation of varying intensity
Michael J. White and Martin P.D. Bell
School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
The cardiovascular response to isometric exercise and its control depends to a variable extent upon the afferent information transduced from metabolic and mechanical stimuli generated within the exercising muscle (Kaufman & Rybiki, 1987). During a phase of post-exercise circulatory occlusion (PECO) blood pressure remains elevated above baseline due to continued activation of the muscle chemoreflex (Alam & Smirk, 1937). Application of external compression to the muscle at this time can further increase blood pressure (White et al. 1998). This could result because of activation of muscle mechanoreceptive afferents or sensitisation of active muscle chemoreceptive afferents. The present study was designed to investigate further these two possibilities. If a standardised external compression stimulus applied during PECO increased blood pressure independent of the level of muscle chemoreflex activation then a constant mechanoreceptive reflex stimulation would be suggested. However if the level of response to compression varied with increasing muscle chemoreflex activation then sensitisation, or even saturation, of the reflex response could be inferred.
With local ethics committee approval eight male subjects (mean ± S.E.M. age, 26.3 ± 2.2 years, height, 177.2 ± 1.6 cm, weight, 74.6 ± 2.8 kg) gave written informed consent to perform five trials randomly assigned over two visits separated by a rest period of at least 20 min. Using previously published techniques (Bull et al. 1989) subjects sustained in random order either 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 % or 70 % of maximal voluntary contractile (MVC) force of the calf muscles for 90 s in a dynamometer. Circulation through the lower leg was occluded throughout exercise and for the following 3 min by inflation of a thigh cuff. After 1 min of PECO a second cuff, placed around the calf muscles, was rapidly inflated to 300 mmHg (Hokansen) and was deflated 1 min later. Blood pressure was measured throughout the protocol (Finapres) and heart rate was recorded from ECG. Data were sampled at 1000 Hz by an A-D converter (CED 1401plus) and PC.
Exercise at 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 % MVC progressively increased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during PECO (P < 0.001) by a mean (± S.E.M.) of 3.9 ± 1.4, 9.5 ± 3.4 and 16.2 ± 5.7 mmHg, respectively, above resting levels (MANOVA). External compression caused MAP to rise further with each condition (MANOVA, P < 0.001) reaching 9.2 ± 1.9, 8.6 ± 1.9, 15.9 ± 2.4, 21.9 ± 1.7 and 24.9 ± 2.8 mmHg respectively, above resting values. During compression the mean increases in MAP above those in PECO were 2.4 ± 1.6, 4.7 ± 1.2, 6.4 ± 0.9, 5.6 ± 1.1 and 5.1 ± 2.0 after 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 % MVC, respectively, and were not significantly related to the preceding exercise intensity. Heart rates were not significantly altered from baseline levels during PECO or compression and were not influenced by preceding exercise intensity. These data show that muscle chemoreflex activation during PECO is influenced by the intensity of preceding exercise and that blood pressure is further elevated by forceful external compression applied at this time.
On the basis of these preliminary data it could be concluded that 300 mmHg external compression activates a population of mechanoreceptive afferents, independent of the level of muscle chemoreflex activation. However study of a wider range of data is required before this can be said with certainty.
Where applicable, experiments conform with Society ethical requirements

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- A 10-second clip of Hollywood actor Matthew Broderick channeling his iconic film character Ferris Bueller has gotten more than 1.5 million hits on YouTube.
The video shows the now 49-year-old, but still boyish-looking, actor opening a window and musing to the camera, "How can I handle work on a day like today?" -- a nod to his 1986 dodging-high school-classes comedy "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." The clip, which hit the Internet Thursday, ends with the numbers 2.5.12.
The Web site Jalopnik said the mysterious, yet wildly popular clip is not an ad for a sequel to the 1980s classic, but rather a Super Bowl commercial for Honda.
The report said Honda hired "The Hangover" writer/director Todd Phillips to make the "Ferris Bueller" spoof, spotlighting its vehicles.

Recently, one of our fellow members in Florida's Workers' Advocates (FWA) an advocacy group of workers' compensation claimant attorneys which fights for the rights of all injured workers in Florida, wrote a guest column for Florida Politics providing some ideas on how to reform the workers' compensation law. The ideas center around balancing the interests of injured workers and employers to create a fair policy that will work for both parties.
Some of the ideas include: Creating a competition based system for setting workers' compensation insurance rates, allowing some direction of control by the injured worker in their medical care, and ensuring that the injured worker has proper access to courts to fight for benefits that have been wrongfully denied.
