If you can't tell… that's Al Davis, coach for the Los Angeles Chargers top row, third from the left. As a Chargers fan, this picture makes me cringe. In the same way that San Diego Chargers fans love to forget that they started in Los Angeles, they love even more to forget that they started with Al Davis on their coaching staff.
Side note: apparently football coaches used to think they were baseball coaches? What's up with those pants? How much would you pay for an original one of those shirts? So pimp.

The 5 inch barrel on the 1911 is often lauded for delivering a long sight radius to the gun, which according to its proponents helps make the gun more shootable. How come then its sight radius is basically the same as a 4 inch HK VP9 and a 4.5 inch Glock 17?
14 Comments
I'm sure if one were motivated, they could find a replacement sight for the 1911 that would push the front sight closer to the muzzle and therefore extending the sight line another 1/4″. Although here's another question: why is the slide for a 4″ barrel almost the same length as that of a 5″ barrel 1911?
Usually has something to do with being striker-fired doesn't it ?
That said, if the new HK is well accepted, would be nice if they offer it in a barrel length & "size" to make the most out of the USPSA & IDPA Boxes…
Because John M Browning was a Genius. The design of the 1911 make it a very accurate firearm and a very reliable firearm.
Ha! Good one.
Personally, I'll take the 1911; like the looks, like the weight; glad to have the "right to choice" here in the USA : )
The VP9 has more junk in the trunk.
Basically, for a striker fired gun, you get the barrel length of a Commander in the gun size of a Government Model. 😉
"Heh", he said, adding nothing to the conversation. 🙂
And all this time, I thought the trigger was the secret to the 1911's shootability…
You know the only thing that keeps me from buying HKs? The mag release. Thats it.

Have you ever been in that situation where you feel a calling to do something different but you really have no clue how to make the transition from where you are, to where you want to be? Can you surrender the struggle enough to let spirit fill in the details?
The calling and the codependency
More and more over the last year I've been asked to help women with imbalanced relationships or codependency issues to find self-love through The Grail. I myself found my own way out of a really unhealthy entanglement with the aid of it's Principles. Just this weekend, I've heard from four such brave women. They have either found their way out, or are waking up to the fact that they have a choice to experience balanced, reciprocal, mutual and fulfilling connections. Not just in their romantic lives, but within all their friendships, partnerships, business connections and family dynamics.
The nudge and the shimmy
I know that, looking back through my history, this is a calling and I also know that The Universe has been nudging me gently towards working more in this area for some time. The trouble is, I've been so hazy with the details of how I should shimmy on over into that sector without losing a beat or without compromising the bigger picture of my spiritual teaching. I was simply asked by spirit to trust and to remain open.
Control and contrivance
If you are anything like me, (control freak alert), even in the wisdom of how spirit works miracles in your life, you may still be desperately trying to contrive those miracles to make the leap into your chosen calling… but here's the thing: the more you contrive, the more you travel in circles.
Let spirit fill in the details
I let go of the proverbial steering wheel a few months ago and just got on with the day to day task of building in the background, and lo and behold, in comes an influx of the exact community of women that I'm meant to be helping. I did nothing except surrender the trying. What did ring an alarm bell for me though, was the fact that some of them were surprised that I was the perfect person to help them and that my apparent expertise in the area had, until now, gone unnoticed.
So often people think that a spiritual teacher is a bit woo woo and airy fairy and doesn't live in the real world. I've spent the last 8 years taking the teachings of my spiritual guides and angels, and as instructed, honing that wisdom into real, life-transformational tools to build self-esteem, self-love, self-worth and balanced relationships. Its all coming together now, but I wish I could say I did that… I did the background work of perfecting my craft and living the Grail for myself so that I could experience first-hand the contrast between codenpendency and self-love, but the truth is: I let spirit fill in the details.
Let go and reach out
There are two things I want to leave you with:
- If you are trying to make the transition from the life you have to the life you want, just keep choosing the next inspired action and let spirit do the work of bringing in the opportunities.
- If you are one of the brave women out there who is ready to love more and find personal freedom and fulfillment in all her relationships, reach out, I may have the guidance you need.
You might also like to check out the Dragon Reading this week for a synchronous message about healing from codependency and taking the next step into love.

We've all read about the American Revolution in history books and know the story, for the most part – how a ragtag team of soldiers was able to defeat a global superpower leading to the birth of America. However, after visiting one of Philly's newest museums, the Museum of the American Revolution in Old City (3rd and Chestnut), I've realized that there is a huge difference between reading these facts in a history book and experiencing them firsthand.
As part of my internship on the Student Engagement team with Campus Philly, I had the pleasure of visiting the museum and it was absolutely incredible. I started my visit by watching a short film about the Revolutionary War and how this act of defiance against the British instilled a long standing value of activism in American culture.
From there I walked through the entire exhibit, starting with life in America just as Britain began to impose serious taxes. As I traveled through time I was not only able to read different facts about history, but could also see artifacts from the time period, ranging from swords to muskets, to even notebooks detailing the supplies the Revolutionaries had in their possession. By far the most surprising, and awesome, part about this museum was the ability for visitors to actually touch some of the exhibits. I touched a very old Revolutionary-era cannon!
Some of the most fascinating exhibits were the Faces of the American Revolution, the interactive battle, and testimonies from soldiers. The Faces of the American Revolution was a portrait gallery featuring the stories of the last surviving Revolutionaries and the roles they played in gaining America's Independence. The interactive battles gave me the chills – the exhibit truly made me feel the terror of what it was like to be a soldier on the front lines of some of the biggest battles in the war. Reading what the soldiers experienced on both sides of the conflict humanized their stories, and put into perspective all that they had to overcome, from impossibly rough weather to limited supplies.
One of the most intriguing facts I learned was that the victory was not achieved by solely white colonists, but that the war was also fought by slaves and Native Americans who also sought freedom, and fought to live peacefully in this country. Surprisingly, slaves in the colonies were divided, with some supporting the Revolutionaries and others supporting the British. I loved how the museum was not just focused on the Founding Fathers, but on all parties involved in the war. I found it really interesting to see how this revolution provided women with a basis to start advocating for their own rights. I learned so much!
Seeing the struggles that America's ancestors faced truly showed me that with perseverance and working together toward a common goal, anything can be accomplished. It is the American way to always fight for what is right.
This museum is perfect for all ages with specific spots designated for kids to have a hands-on experience learning about the struggles the Revolutionaries faced. If you're interested in the history of our country, or just need an indoor activity to do on a hot day this summer, don't miss out on the Museum of the American Revolution. Learn more about this museum on Campus Philly's Open Arts website, and follow us on Instagram to learn about special events taking place at the museum. Thanks for following along and stay tuned for more insider looks at Philly's incredible arts and cultural institutions! – Thomas

Fiat Abarth 695 goes to the dogs
by AC
Biposto, means two seater and that means two carbon fiber shells and a stripped out rear. It comes with a lot of go-fast goodies: fully adjustable shocks and suspension, mechanical limited slip differential, Ackrapovic exhaust, a titanium roll bar, 4 point harnesses, a data logger, and oversized Brembos . Fixed windows with sliding poly slits and other assorted weight reduction cut about 300 lbs off the base Abarth while power is up 30 to 190hp allowing for a sub 6 second 0-62.
But what really sets the 695 biposto apart, and will make it a bit of a collector piece is the unusual gearbox: it comes standard with a non synchronized 5 speed "dog box", probably the only road legal, factory car in the world to do so in the 21st century!
Curiously, the original Cinquecento had a non synchronized gearbox meaning generations of Italians have double clutching embedded in their DNA. In a track situation, a non syncro "dog box" allows for super fast, clutch less shifts and so the Abarth 695 biposto should become the hero for all those who champion manuals, because real men don't need syncros!

maybe you're being overoptmistic about double clutiching: when I found out about it I asked my mom if she did it, and she went "oh, what's that?"ReplyDelete
My mom used to a have a Cinquecento and she did, at least a version, of a double stab at the clutch :)ReplyDelete

Is it ethical to genetically modify farm animals for agriculture?
The number of genetically modified animals used in agriculture has increased significantly in recent years. Researchers have genetically engineered a number of mammals, from laboratory animals to farm animals, as well as birds, fish and insects.
The most widely used genetically modified animals are laboratory animals, such as the fruitfly (Drosophila) and mice. Genetically engineered animals enable scientists to gain an insight into basic biological processes and the relationships between mutations and disease.
However, farm animals, such as sheep, goats and cows, can also be genetically modified to enhance specific characteristics. These can include milk production and disease resistance, as well as improving the nutritional value of the products they are farmed for. For example, cows, goats and sheep have been genetically engineered to express specific proteins in their milk.
The majority of work on genetically modified farm animals is still in the research phase and is yet to be used commercially. Below are some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with genetically modifying animals for agriculture, divided up into four key areas:
Do the benefits of genetically modified farm animals outweigh the risks?
- Genetic engineering holds great potential in many fields, including agriculture, medicine and industry.
- Genetic modification can increase the yield from farm animals, for example cows can be engineered to produce more milk for the same size of herd.
- Genetically modified farm animals are being used to produce important medicinal products, such as antibodies, in large quantities. These products can be used for the treatment of many different human conditions. The current production system for such products is donated human blood, which is in limited supply due to a lack of donors.
- Sheep and goats can be modified to produce medicinal products in their milk. This has no negative impact on the animal but the product can help to treat human diseases.
- The transfer of genetic material from one species to another raises potentially serious health issues for animals and humans.
- There is a risk that new diseases from genetically engineered animals could be spread to non-genetically engineered animals, and even humans.
- In many cases, selective breeding is just as effective as genetic engineering and doesn't carry the same risks.
- We don't yet know if eating the products of genetically modified animals could potentially harm us.
Is genetic modification of farm animals ethical?
- Genetic engineering is a logical continuation of selective breeding, which has been done by humans for thousands of years.
- Genetic engineering of animals is strictly controlled by animal cruelty legislations in many countries and is always carefully scrutinised by team"s of experts before being approved for wider use.
- Many of the embryos that undergo genetic engineering procedures do not survive.
- Genetic modification can put animals at risk of harm. For example, transgenic pigs were found to be arthritic, partially blind and infertile when a human growth hormone was inserted into their genomes to make them grow faster.
Is it morally acceptable to genetically modify farm animals?
- Not all genetic engineering directly benefits humans. Some genetic engineering is to improve resistance of livestock to disease, for example, bovine spongiform encephalopathy ('mad cow disease') in cattle. It can also be used to remove characteristics that cause injury, for example, selecting for cattle without horns.
- Animals have been used to help humans for millennia. Many would say that human lives are of higher moral value than animal lives.?
- The percentage of genetically modified farm animals is tiny compared to the number of animals slaughtered for humans to eat. This practice is widely seen as morally acceptable.
- Research could use other organisms such as plants and bacteria to mass produce therapies for human medicine. For example, genetically engineered cereal grains to produce human proteins.
- The cost to the animal always outweighs the benefits as, by carrying out genetic engineering, we are violating their rights.
- Genetic engineering often involves modifying animals for reasons that have no benefit for that species, and could potentially cause them pain and discomfort.
- We shouldn't be attempting to 'play God'. Life should not be regarded as a product that can be altered and played with for economic benefit.
Is there a thorough regulatory process for genetic modification of farm animals?
- t has been suggested that, as a rule, genetically engineered animals should be no worse off than the equivalent stock would be if they were not genetically engineered.
- The Animal Welfare Act, a federal law passed in the UK in 1966, requires all entities looking to carry out research with animals to have their programme reviewed before they go ahead, have veterinary care programmes in place and staff that are qualified to care for live animals.
- The UK Home Office Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 has set out guidelines for research involving animals.
- The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the USA regulates genetic engineering with animals and their products under the new animal drug provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). It helps monitor and maintain certain standards, including input from the public, when it comes to genetically engineering animals.
- The 'new animal drug' provisions of the FFDCA focuses on whether the new animal drug is safe for the animal and if it is effective. If the drug is for a food-producing animal it also focuses on whether the resulting food is safe to eat.
- Genetic engineering of animals is a relatively new practice and is mainly used in research. As a result regulations for its use in farming are minimal.
- For regulations that have been put in place for the use of animals in research, it is often unclear how they would be applied to genetic engineering of farm animals and few guidelines refer to it directly.

text: In a quiet beachside town ravaged by constant sewage spillages and toxic waste dumps, something is stirring. Deep under the rolling hills that surround Hackney-on-Sea, Battra is awakening, driven by a single goal: to destroy mankind and save planet Earth. The only one who can stop him is Godzilla, but he hasn't been seen in decades and has never ventured to the cold shores of the English coast... until now. Robbie runs a small bookshop, but her real passion is monsters. She's spent years researching the myth of Godzilla and his fearsome foes, and now that hypothetical experience is about to become a life-saving tool. Can Robbie locate Godzilla? Will Godzilla alone be enough to defeat Battra? Is Battra really wrong? And will the goddess Mothra make an appearance?

Court rips EPA over FOIA dodge
EPA warned to examine failing FOIA standards.
In 2012, Mark Levin's Landmark Legal Foundation filed a FOIA request with the EPA in an attempt to discover if senior agency officials were postponing the implementation of key (read: controversial and politically-damaging) regulations until after the 2012 presidential elections. As soon as that FOIA request was received by the EPA, the agency was bound to preserve any and all documentation covered by the request.
What happened next was predictable, and not at all out of character for an Obama agency.
After months of hoop-jumping that extended beyond Election Day 2012, Landmark finally went to court and asked a judge to levy sanctions against the EPA for failing to comply with the request. Now, more than thirty months after Landmark's initial request was submitted, a court has thrown the hammer down on the EPA's lazy and borderline unethical FOIA fulfillment standards.
Judge Royce C. Lamberth didn't grant Landmark the sanctions it asked for in its lawsuit against the EPA, but she did bestow 25 pages worth of condemnation upon the heads of current and former EPA officials.
From the ruling:
Two possible explanations exist for EPA's conduct following Landmark Legal Foundations' filing of a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request in August 2012. Either EPA intentionally sought to evade Landmark's lawful FOIA request so the agency could destroy responsive documents, or EPA demonstrated apathy and carelessness toward Landmark's request. Either scenario reflects poorly upon EPA and surely serves to diminish the public's trust in the agency.
Landmark didn't get the sanctions it asked for because they failed to prove intentional bad faith on the part of the EPA.
The judge said since Landmark couldn't prove it was intentional bad faith, the group wasn't entitled to "spoliation sanctions." Neither could be find a reason to impose criminal sanctions against the agency.
Judge Lamberth also refused to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the EPA's open-records requests, saying that was an "extreme and legally uncertain" alternative. But his frustration with the situation showed through repeatedly.
"The court is left wondering whether EPA has learned from its mistakes, or if it will merely continue to address FOIA requests in the clumsy manner that has seemingly become its custom," the judge wrote. "Given the offensively unapologetic nature of EPA's recent withdrawal notice … the court is not optimistic that the agency has learned anything."
Even though Lamberth declined to levy sanctions against the EPA, the fact that we now have 25 pages worth of on-the-record information about just how badly the EPA has screwed up their commitment to "transparency" is not insignificant. General negligence or indifference without clear and convincing evidence of bad faith isn't sufficient to warrant the type of sanctions that Landmark asked for; but still, negligence and indifference should never be paired with the type of procedures that activist groups depend on as a way of understanding and educating about what the government is up to.
FOIA requests are a pain; they're a pain to put together, and a pain to fulfill—but they're also essential to preserving the underlying foundation of the republic:
"The EPA has to learn that you can't save the planet by destroying the rule of law," [Mark] Levin said… "It also must understand that some of our most precious resources are the principles of limited government and official accountability enumerated in the Constitution. If we don't protect those, saving the snail darter or the spotted owl won't mean a thing."
Lamberth understands exactly what happened here, and so do we: a government agency fielded what it saw as a hostile FOIA request, and blew it off because they believed that they could get away with doing so.
Sanctions may be off the table (for now), but this still counts as a win for Landmark.

A blog for Small Business Consultants and the vendors who serve them. Buffer took at have a look at the state of social media in 2016 and found that marketers are excellent at talking about themselves on social channels (SURPRISE!). Video remains to be high of mind for a lot of entrepreneurs, nevertheless it's a challenge to find the time and price range to make good on it. Video is at present a sizzling commodity on Facebook, and 93{65705f2b290a2dc16dbfaad642ccdf62c35ff371a9575d5f7766326c54da72cd} of entrepreneurs are on Facebook, the place they're spending cash. And surprisingly, only 21{65705f2b290a2dc16dbfaad642ccdf62c35ff371a9575d5f7766326c54da72cd} of respondents are using social channels for customer service. That is a big alternative for enchancment, and admittedly one that should take precedence over discovering the time and money to spend on video creation.
Google acquired itself into scorching water with advertisers and programmatic advertisements want a secure house; Uber continues to lick its wounds but deny injury; the Senate votes towards privacy; a new working model for advertising and marketing; Walmart's innovation for the future of retail; liking a brand on social media does not change behavior; a paid model of Twitter; how Instagram stays one step ahead of the market; measuring corporate innovation applications; make means for bike sharing; the Trump administration has its head within the sand about automation; ethical questions round the suitable to privateness; the busier you are, the extra you want quiet time; and far more in the trust edition of The Full Monty.

A while in the past my friend (and co-investor in Clio , Jobber and Unbounce ) Boris Wertz wrote a great blog submit about "the one 2 ways to construct a $100 million business" I would prefer to increase on the topic and recommend that there are five methods to construct a $one hundred million Internet firm. This doesn't suggest that I disagree with Boris' article. I feel our views are fairly similar, and for probably the most part "my" five ways are just a barely totally different and more granular look at Boris' two methods.
All these bloggers wished the identical thing: an easy option to manage and place content material on the net. Fortunately, some reasonably sensible folks have stepped in and crammed the gap. However then, since I used to be taking a look at information reviews with the type of eye you utilize to catch marketing psychology in advertisements, I began paying attention to what media geared toward liberals always tends to have in frequent. Only 1GB Worth Of Picture Storage. Sure, you learn that proper: 1 stinkin' gigabyte price of pictures. Yikes! The Blogger Assist page does state that in the event you've upgraded to Google+, your pictures will be stored in Google+ Pictures, where you may have 15GB of space for storing shared with Gmail and Drive", but that's still not very a lot.
WordPress is, indeed, a greater, extra flexible, and more difficult service than Blogger, and — as you say — has a for much longer learning curve. However and Blogger are for very completely different audiences, IMHO. Quite a lot of folks, together with some top contributors, run private blogs the place they offer advice and put up information about common problems. After you've tricked out your weblog with a new area, a new structure and beautiful sharing buttons, you'll have to make it straightforward for people to find your weblog.

Concerning many Historical Tenents generally received, and some deduced from the history of holy Scripture.
Chap. I.
Of the Forbidden Fruit.
THAT the Forbidden Fruit of Paradise was an Apple, is commonly believed, confirmed by Tradition, perpetuated by Writings, Verses, Pictures; and some have been so bad Prosodians, as from thence to derive the Latine word malum, because that fruit was the first occasion of evil; wherein notwithstanding determinations are presumptuous, and many I perceive are of another belief. For some have conceived it a Vine; in the mystery of whose fruit lay the expiation of the Transgression:[1] Goropius Becanus reviving the conceit of Barcephas, peremptorily concludeth it to be the Indian Fig-tree; and by a witty Allegory labours to confirm the same. Again, some fruits pass under the name of Adams apples, which in common acception admit not that appellation; the one described by Mathiolus under the name of Pomum Adami, a very fair fruit, and not unlike a Citron, but somewhat rougher, chopt and cranied, vulgarly conceived the marks of Adams teeth.[2] Another, the fruit of that plant which Serapion termeth Musa, but the Eastern Christians commonly the Apples of Paradise; not resembling an apple in figure, and in taste a Melon or Cowcumber. Which fruits although they have received appellations suitable unto the tradition, yet can we not from thence infer they were this fruit in question: No more then Arbor vitæ, so commonly called, to obtain its name from the tree of life in Paradise, or arbor Iudæ, to be the same which supplied the gibbet unto Judas.
Again, There is no determination in the Text; wherein is only particulared that it was the fruit of a tree good for food, and pleasant unto the eye, in which regards many excell the Apple; and therefore learned men do wisely conceive it inexplicable; and Philo puts determination unto despair, when he affirmeth the same kind of fruit was never produced since. Surely were it not requisite to have been concealed, it had not passed unspecified; nor the tree revealed which concealed their nakedness, and that concealed which revealed it; for in the same chapter mention is made of fig-leaves. And the like particulars, although they seem uncircumstantial, are oft set down in holy Scripture; so is it specified that Elias sat under a juniper tree, Absolon hanged by an Oak, and Zacheus got up into a Sycomore.
And although to condemn such Indeterminables unto him that demanded on what hand Venus was wounded, the Philosopher thought it a sufficient resolution to re-inquire upon what leg King Philip halted; and the Jews not undoubtedly resolved of the Sciatica-side of Jacob,3 do catelously4 in their diet abstain from the sinews of both:[5] yet are there many nice particulars which may be authentically determined. That Peter cut off the right ear of Malchus, is beyond all doubt. That our Saviour eat the Passover in an upper room, we may determine from the Text.[6] And some we may concede which the Scripture plainly defines not. That the Dyal of Ahaz was placed upon the West side of the Temple, we will not deny, or contradict the description of Adricomius.[7]That Abrahams servant put his hand under his right thigh,[8] we shall not question; and that the Thief on the right hand was saved, and the other on the left reprobated, to make good the Method of the last judicial dismission, we are ready to admit. But surely in vain we enquire of what wood was Moses rod, or the tree that sweetned the waters. Or though tradition or humane History might afford some light, whether the Crown of thorns was made of Paliurus;[9] Whether the cross of Christ were made of those four woods in the Distick of Durantes,10 or only of Oak, according unto Lipsius and Goropius, we labour not to determine. For though hereof prudent Symbols and pious Allegories be made by wiser Conceivers; yet common heads will flie unto superstitious applications, and hardly avoid miraculous or magical expectations.
Now the ground or reason that occasioned this expression by an Apple, might be the community of this fruit, and which is often taken for any other. So the Goddess of Gardens is termed Pomona; so the Proverb expresseth it to give Apples unto Alcinous; so the fruit which Paris decided was called an Apple; so in the garden of Hesperides (which many conceive a fiction drawn from Paradise) we read of golden Apples guarded by the Dragon. And to speak strictly in this appellation, they placed it more safely then any other; for beside the great variety of Apples, the word in Greek[11] comprehendeth Orenges, Lemmons, Citrons, Quinces; and as Ruellius defineth,12 such fruits as have no stone within, and a soft covering without; excepting the Pomegranate. And will extend much farther in the acception of Spigelius,13 who comprehendeth all round fruits under the names of apples, not excluding Nuts and Plumbs.
It hath been promoted in some constructions from a passage in the Canticles,14 as it runnes in the vulgar translation, Sub arbore malo suscitavi te, ibi corrupta est mater tua, ibi violata est genetrix tua; Which words notwithstanding parabolically intended, admit no literal inference, and are of little force in our translation, I raised thee under an Apple-tree, there thy mother brought thee forth, there she brought thee forth that bare thee. So when from a basket of summer fruits or Apples, as the vulgar rendreth them, God by Amos foretold the destruction of his people;[15] we cannot say they had any reference unto the fruit of Paradise, which was the destruction of man; but thereby was declared the propinquity of their desolation, and that their tranquility was of no longer duration then those horary and soon decaying fruits of Summer.16 Nor when it is said in the same translation, Poma desiderii animæ tuæ discesserunt à te, the apples that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee,[17] is there any allusion therein unto the fruit of Paradise. But thereby is threatned unto Babylon, that the pleasures and delights of their Palate should forsake them. And we read in Pierius, that an Apple was the Hieroglyphick of Love, and that the Statua of Venus was made with one in her hand. So the little Cupids in the figures of Philostratus18 do play with apples in a garden; and there want not some who have symbolized the Apple of Paradise unto such constructions.
Since therefore after this fruit, curiosity fruitlessly enquireth, and confidence blindly determineth, we shall surcease our Inquisition; rather troubled that it was tasted, then troubling our selves in its decision; this only we observe, when things are left uncertain, men will assure them by determination. Which is not only verified concerning the fruit, but the Serpent that perswaded; many defining the kind or species thereof. So Bonaventure and Comestor affirm it was a Dragon, Eugubinus a Basilisk, Delrio a Viper, and others a common snake. Wherein men still continue the delusion of the Serpent, who having deceived Eve in the main, sets her posterity on work to mistake in the circumstance, and endeavours to propagate errors at any hand. And those he surely most desireth which concern either God or himself; for they dishonour God who is absolute truth and goodness; but for himself, who is extreamly evil, and the worst we can conceive, by aberration of conceit they may extenuate his depravity, and ascribe some goodnesse unto him.[19]

2 [Wilkin: The fruit shops of London exhibit a large kind of citron labelled Forbidden Fruit, respecting which, and the Pomum Adami of Matthiolus, I have the following obliging and satisfactory notice from my friend Professor Lindley: — "The forbidden fruit of the London markets is a variety of the Citrus Decumana, and is in fact a small sort of shaddock {a shaddock is a large pear-shaped grapefruit}. But as to the Pomum Adami, no one can make out exactly what it was. The common Italian Pomo d'Adamo is a variety of Citrus Limetta; that of Paris is a thick-skinned orange; and at least three other things have been so called. I do not think it possible to ascertain what Matthiolus meant, beyond the fact that it was a Citrus of some kind."]

With us today is poet L E Barrett. Here is a little taste of his poetry and his views on the human condition.
A dozen old pines
Standing very erect
Thirty feet or more
Prickly hairy limbs
Seen thru my pane
Reaching out to me
Or excitedly waving
To get my attention
No guardian Angels
This witch's brew
Who often lash out
Inside stormy spells
Then turn Statuesque
As if only onlookers
Intent on a good view
At the Tyburn gallows
I have been noticing
In circular formations
Clusters of mushrooms
On pine needle beds
With ancient markings
Formed by pine cones
That could only arise
As a gesture of sorts
Yet they still fascinate
Give credence to tales
Hinted to by neighbors
Town gossip they say
Those potent specters
Inhabit the grounds
Witches of old roots
Seeded in dark times
Raise the flag for those Maine boys
Who thru rifle shot and steel blade
Stood like blue granite in the fray
Boys of rocky shores and thick forests
Betwixt Kittery and the St John River
Uncommon solders mustered to war
Engaged in preserving a frail Union
Boys of affable towns and isolated farms
With their heads and banners held high
Common men now nobles one and all
Raise the flag for those Maine boys
Who signed on to the 1st, 2nd, and 20th
Brave souls that came to know the fight
Thru Gettysburg, Petersburg and Newtonia
Every man tested time after time by shot
All too many to find a permanent rest
Under a canopy of wooden white crosses
In fields with moss covered granite ledges
Hearts looking back to a state they love
Raise the flag for those Maine boys
Wave it proudly and as high as you can
So those same Maine boys can see
That they are still our Maine boys.
After an abundance of frigid snow and slippery icy roads
Where often a hearth and fire act as a night's beacon
As seen through frosty panes with large white brows
To snow encrusted children and fretful evening trekkers
Oh fiddle me a delectable tune with savory harmonies
Let a tasty lick with a respondent chord stay upon my palate
I love the music your tightly strung notes have awakened in me
For now I find I have an appetite for spring and summer too
Morning air still laced with the chill of a winter's backside
Streams roaring with laughter as they escape their banks
Birds chirping as if they have not seen their neighbors in a while
Frosty morning sunshine as dazzling as light through stained glass
Oh fiddle me a delectable tune with savory harmonies
Let a tasty lick with a respondent chord stay upon my palate
I love the music your tightly strung notes have awakened in me
For now I find I have an appetite for spring and summer too
I know the spot near to the stream at the edge of the marsh
Where I ponder another years passing and another beginning
Where the damp earth laden with debris smells of potential life
As the crowns of fiddleheads emerge to take their rightful thrones
Oh fiddle me a delectable tune with savory harmonies
Let a tasty lick with a respondent chord stay upon my palate
I love the music your tightly strung notes have awakened in me
For now I find I have an appetite for spring and summer too.
I dream in Maine,
Of rosy red sunrises over the crests of rock-strewn shores
Splinters of light straining through stands of pine and birch
Dusk blanketing fields with loping deer and placid moose
I dream in Maine,
As the sound and motion of a Manhattan Street envelops me
In combat as I lay my weapon down and listen to the stillness
In endless rooms, bars, hotels, and where ever I meet strangers
I dream in Maine,
Of the mouths of rivers derived from streams down granite ledges
Huge lakes and small ponds surrounded by bush filled floating bogs
Lush green or multicolored hills with sweeping valleys dotted with farms
I dream in Maine,
At sporting events and concerts or whenever I share a glass with friends
On subways, buses, planes or cars with "Muddy Waters" on my radio
And Dear, even as I make love to you in the late hours of the night
I dream in Maine,
Of the smell of clam flats, apple orchards, campfires and pine needle beds
Cold snow on brimming shovels and giant snow piles aging beside the road
Gritty sand on my legs and as the chilly ocean's tongue begins to lick my feet
I dream in Maine,
Not of people or events or concerns that consume me and my daily journey
But instead as a picturesque back drop for the seeding of all my dreams
A place radiating out of my soul and hidden behind my eyes, that I call Maine.
Drove the old Ford out to the quarry
Sat on a rock shelf in the desolation
Looked down into the dark water
Sensed the silence of the moment
Then as if delivered out of myself
Heard the shrieks of young voices
Coming back to me from times past
Summers when I shielded my eyes
From the sun reflecting off the water
Boys alive in tanned muscular frames
Brown girls showing splotches of color
Recalling the endless acts of heroes
As youths leaped from high perches
Chiseled ledges down to the big chill
As icy waters drank freely our heat
Still feeling the water's hard knock
As it rushed up to greet me as I fell
Lazy days of drying on granite ledges
With music and talk all around me
Detecting love's bloom in every act
All of us totally free and alive in time
Unaware of life forces outside of us
Disposed to create new worlds for us
In the Ford as I pull onto the dirt road
I am keenly aware of where it all went
My Current Books
I currently have three books on sale through Amazon and Kindle; a collection of 63 poems 'The Maine Poetic', a collection of 13 short stories 'A View From the Side of the Road' and a new play called 'The Shadow of the Soul' which I hope to produce as a live play in the next year. I have recently completed with two other people a book on Maine's iconic fiddlehead called 'Fiddlemainia' which includes pictures, a comprehensive narrative and 125 fiddlehead recipes which will be published this winter by Goose River Press in Waldoboro, Maine. I plan to publish another large collection of poetry in February 2014 called 'Verses From Beneath Granite Ledges. Hopefully, I can follow up last year's writing projects with four or five major writing projects in 2014.
My Themes
First and foremost, I consider myself a Maine writer and though I tend towards the esoteric at times, I am grounded in a people and an environment that affects all my writing. Even in my short stories, I strive to find the universal elements of the human condition as seen from my unique background. In my poetry, I approach it from the perspective of a storyteller with an awareness that I need to wrap the poem up with a clarifying ending. My poetry comes to me as a complete thought that I later tailor to give as much meaning to the poem as I can. I feel sometimes poets become overly concerned about structure, grammar and style and fail to achieve the impact they envisioned with their poems. For me it is always concept, meaning and style. If it blurs the lines between styles of poetry or looks like an oddly presented poem, it still works for me. If just a word or two or phrase generates in the reader the emotion and feeling I am trying to generate, I have accomplished my role as a poet.
Poet Bio
The road began for me in Hallowell, Maine. It has taken me several times around the world. I grew up in a remarkably small Maine city on a river, at a young age I became a Marine in Vietnam, I eventually had both a military and government career, I fathered three sons, received a Bachelor's Degree from Northeastern University in Boston, MA and a Masters Degree from the University of Maine in Orono, ME. All along the road, I wrote, I thought, and I wrote some more. So that before my days drain away, I will have said what I came here to say.

After winning their last three game, and four out of their last five, the Houston Rockets have a chance to get to .500 for the first time this season when they host the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night.
Ever since the insertion of Chandler Parsons, a versatile 6'10 rookie from Florida, into the starting line-up, Houston is 4-2, with both of their losses coming in the last seconds to the Thunder and Spurs.
And just as the Rockets are heating up, their schedule is about to get significantly easier, as they play seven of their next eight games at the Toyota Center, with the Spurs and the Knicks their only opponents considered legitimate playoff contenders.
The Pistons are already 3-10 with a -9.2 point differential, and asides from promising second-year big man Greg Monroe, not much else has gone right for Detroit this season.
They have some interesting perimeter scorers in Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey, but neither player fits well with rookie lottery pick Brandon Knight of Kentucky, who is being groomed to become their PG of the future.
The 7:00 PM game will be broadcast regionally on Fox Sports Net Houston.
The Dream Shake has you covered for the latest news and notes on the Rockets, while Detroit Bad Boys has everything all the pre-game perspective from the Pistons side of things.

An abnormal system
By Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish
Later I returned to the Gaza Strip.
My affiliation with Israeli hospitals began some 20 years ago, after I read a book by Israeli researchers in the field of fertility, which was of particular interest to me. I had just returned to Gaza after completing a residency in obstetrics and gynecology in London, and working thereafter in Saudi Arabia. I got in touch with Prof. Mark Glazerman at Soroka Medical Center, Be'er Sheva, who agreed to receive female patients of mine for consultation and treatments not available in Gaza. Periodically I would bring patients in my own car, and sometimes in a small minibus that carried between 12-15 women to Soroka. I realized that cooperation with the Israeli health-care system would benefit many of the patients.
In 1994 the United Nations requested that I take charge of women's health care in Gaza. After three years of unsatisfying administrative work, I wanted to go back to practicing medicine. I learned Hebrew at an ulpan and, in 1997, I applied for a residency at Soroka. I loved every day spent at that hospital, and all of the people there. To this day, we maintain good friendships. Later on I completed a master's degree in the United States from the Harvard School of Public Health, and served in Kabul as an adviser to the Afghan health-care system.
I found a poor health-care system in the Strip. Anyone who steps into a pediatrics ward at Sheba Medical Center or Sourasky Medical Center will encounter a large number of Palestinian children. Many are happy to receive treatment in Israel, which has one of the best health-care systems in the world. Cooperation between the two systems exists, although not to a satisfactory degree.
This cooperation can be compared to "medical tourism," except that in places where such tourism exists, the person plans for the treatment, comes to the hospital, and even has fun. Here, one finds an abnormal system of medical tourism, between two peoples engaged in conflict - a fact that exacerbates the patients' suffering. The convoluted bureaucracy involved in obtaining guarantees of insurance coverage, and security permits for crossing into Israel from the Gaza Strip complicates matters. Even when someone manages to get treatment in Israel, he has difficulty returning for a follow-up appointment and continued treatment, because nobody promises to grant him those permits.
Another problem is the lack of communication between the physician who sends the patient from Gaza and the physician who handles the case in Israel. Frequently the patient's condition deteriorates upon returning to Gaza, and the doctor there is not up to date regarding his treatment history.
This system has been in place for years, but no one has looked into ways of improving treatment so as to make things easier for Gazans. In a research project I have initiated, we are studying the mechanism for transferring patients, with the aim of streamlining it.
I recently received a job offer from the University of Toronto. However, the tragedy we suffered changes all our plans, and I am now incapable of thinking about the future.
Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish lost three daughters to IDF fire during Operation Cast Lead. His surviving children have received treatment in Israel.

Gaza doctor who lost daughters in IDF strike: Everyone makes mistakes
By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service
Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish, who lost three daughters and a niece in an Israel Defense Forces strike in the Gaza Strip last month, responded Wednesday to an IDF statement confirming that it was Israeli fire that killed his daughters, thanking those responsible for investigating the incident and saying that "we all make mistakes, and we don't repeat them."
Abu al-Aish, a father of eight, became one of the symbols of the Gaza offensive for Israelis after he captivated TV viewers with a sobbing live report on the death of his three daughters and his niece in Israeli shelling. The 55-year-old gynecologist trained in Israeli hospitals and speaks Hebrew.
The IDF announced earlier Wednesday that an investigation into the January 16 incident confirmed that it had been Israeli fire that killed the four girls.
"First of all, I would like to thank all those who worked, and had the courage and good conscience to shed light on the truth that I always believed. Thank you to everyone who took upon themselves to publicize this truth seeking investigation," Abu al-Aish said in an interview with Channel 2.
The Palestinian doctor went on to say "I have two options - the path of darkness or the path of light. The path of darkness is like choosing all the complications with diseases and depression, but the path of light is to focus on the future and my children. This strengthened my conviction to continue on the same path and not to give up."
Abu al-Aish did not neglect to thank the Israelis who met with him and offered him strength, saying "the love that I've received, from people I knew and people I didn't know, gave me strength."
The IDF released the conclusions of its investigation into the incident earlier Wednesday, explaining that Golani troops had been fired upon by snipers situated in the house adjacent to Abu al-Aish's home. The troops identified suspicious figures in the upper levels of the doctor's building, and deduced that they were serving as observers, directing the sniper fire from their vantage point.
Following long deliberations and assessments of the situation, the Golani commander decided to fire tank shells at the building, and when the soldiers heard the screams and realized civilians had been hit, they helped evacuate them, the investigation revealed.
The army argues further that the residents of the neighborhood were urged to evacuate the area prior to the attack via thousands of leaflets that were disseminated in the area, and that the doctor was personally asked by phone to evacuate his family from the neighborhood due to the fighting.
Abu al-Aish denied that there were any militants in the building at the time of the shelling.
The IDF spokesman's office issued a statement extending the IDF's condolences over the incident, but maintaining that the IDF operated within reason in light of the sniper fire directed at the troops and the heavy fighting in the region.

Vansbt.com review is here to reveal the truth about Vansbt scam online store. Yes, Vansbt.com is a fake Vans website. Now maybe you are thinking why is Vansbt.com a scam, what makes Vansbt a scam, what is Vansbt.com in real, right? Well, let's begin with our Vansbt.com review to find out the answers to these queries.
Vansbt.com which is claiming to sell the products of Vans such as Vans shoes and clothes is a fraudulent online store due to the following reasons:-
# Although Vansbt.com claims to sell Vans's product, it is not authorized to sell the products of Vans. It doesn't have any link with Vans's brand.
# Like lots of scam sites, the website Vansbt.com has also poorly designed which looks similar to lots of scam sites. For example, its website theme is very untidy, the desktop version of a website is not available, it hasn't provided the required security measures to secure the website and so on.
# Since Vansbt.com hasn't provided the required security measure to secure its website, so if you shop at this site, your personal and financial information can be stolen.
# You can find lots of similar kinds of scam sites with exactly the same website theme, website script, products and business claims such as Vansbc, Vansdd, Vansxc, Vansaa, Vanskp, Vanshk and so on which proves Vansbt.com is a scam site operated by the serial cybercriminal.
# These days multiple new online stores are claiming to sell various items on huge discount, but most of them are scams. So, it's better to stay away from the new online stores or at least do some research before you purchase something from the new online stores because most of these new online stores don't deliver the purchased items to their clients or, deliver completely different or very low-quality items. Some of these kinds of online stores even have charged the credit card of clients randomly without their consent. So, if you have ever purchased mistakenly from scam sites, we suggest you immediately contact your bank or credit card company to secure your credit card information.
Now you must be clear why is a Vansbt.com scam through our Vansbt review as above. However, if you still want to add your own Vansbt.com reviews or want to say something about it, then please feel free to leave your comment below.

Panasonic Avionics IFE systems: How serious are the vulnerabilities?
Panasonic Avionics' in-flight entertainment system vulnerabilities allow attackers to tamper with passenger seat displays. Expert Michael Cobb explains the impact of these flaws.

system firmware, which would allow an attacker to steal payment card data and display incorrect flight path information on other passengers' systems. How serious are these vulnerabilities? Is it possible for an attacker to gain access to other parts of airplane systems, such as the operational control segment?
Security consultancy firm IOActive Inc. highlighted the dangers of internet-connected, in-car entertainment systems being used as an attack vector in 2015. Its researchers took remote control of a Jeep Cherokee's steering, brakes and transmission by accessing the vehicle's internal network via its multimedia system's controller.
Another IOActive researcher, Ruben Santamarta, has now uncovered flaws in the in-flight entertainment (IFE) and communications systems developed by Panasonic Avionics, which could put passengers' information and safety at risk.
Panasonic Avionics' IFE systems are among the most common components in the aviation industry, and are used in planes operated by 13 major airlines, including American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and United Airlines. While analyzing the latest firmware updates for the IFE systems, Santamarta found they contained several flaws, including a SQL injection flaw and a bug that allows for bypassing credit card checks.
Though the hardware used in IFE systems can vary, they all have common features and a similar architecture. The main components are the seat display unit, the system control unit and the cabin crew panel. The newer Panasonic Avionics seat display units are based on Android, while legacy devices mainly use Linux. They can be paired with a personal control unit, which can also act as a credit card reader. The system control unit is a certified airborne server that provides the seat display units with real-time flight information through an Ethernet connection. The cabin crew panel provides access to the cabin management systems, and it is used by flight attendants and other crew members to control features of the aircraft, such as the lights, onboard shopping and the PA system.
Panasonic Avionics integrates the cabin management systems and IFE systems with its Global Communications Services, which enables the plane to provide broadband capabilities. The IFE is certified at design assurance Level E based on DO-178B, the effective standard for developing avionics software systems.
DO-178B design assurance Level E states that any failure would have no impact on safety, aircraft operation or crew workload. However, if an attacker can pass commands to the IFE, they could potentially cause panic on the plane by showing false flight information on the interactive route map, turning the lights off or making announcements over the PA system.
IOActive concluded that Panasonic Avionics' IFE systems could be compromised by skilled malicious actors chaining and exploiting various vulnerabilities, though Panasonic denies that this is possible. IOActive first reported Santamarta's findings to Panasonic Avionics in early 2015; after more than a year, IOActive decided to publish its research and disclose the vulnerabilities in December 2016 because there "has been enough time to produce and deploy patches, at least for the most prominent vulnerabilities." IOActive is unable to say whether patches have been installed across the entire user base.
Whether an attacker could pivot from a compromised IFE to access or manipulate an aircraft's critical controls depends very much on how the aircraft's data networks are divided. Physical control systems are located in the aircraft control domain -- the other domains are usually passenger entertainment, passenger-owned devices and airline information services. The aircraft control domain should be physically isolated from the passenger domains. If this is not the case, and the separation is only logical, an attack remains theoretically feasible due to the physical connectivity.
A plane's overall protection from a cyberattack relies on cooperation between the aircraft manufacturer, the fleet operator and the companies that provide equipment with network connectivity to properly segregate the different data domains.
A common control is the ARINC 429 data bus that feeds information from the avionics to the IFE about the plane's latitude, longitude and speed. It's an output-only hub that allows data to flow out from the avionics system, but not back to it. Rules are also programmed into the avionics system to check that data is being received when it should be received, and that it is receiving valid data.
However, IFE systems usually allow for a degree of customization. For example, Panasonic Avionics uses its own declarative script language to extend and interface with the GUI and features of the main IFE application. Such software updates and modifications need to be carefully scrutinized and tested by security experts to ensure that they don't introduce vulnerabilities, like those found by IOActive, which could be exploited and put the passengers, crew and aircraft at risk.
The combination of devices, software and configurations deployed on any aircraft should be fully penetration tested before going live, and after any system changes are made.

Kevin Nolan has urged his Notts County side to be more clinical in front of goal - and hopes their hard-fought at point at Cheltenham Town can lead to another lengthy unbeaten run.
The Magpies scrapped to a 1-1 draw at the LCI Rail Stadium on Tuesday night when Terry Hawkridge's first-half goal was cancelled out by Joe Morrell's deflected strike.
But Notts created some decent chances to increase their lead, with Jorge Grant and Shola Ameobi both going close in an entertaining League Two clash .
And while Magpies boss Nolan hopes his side can find that ruthlessness in front of goal, he is pleased with the opportunities they are creating.
"Goals give you confidence and that wins you games," he said.
"Performances then start to come and when that all rolls into one you feel a bit of invincibility.
"We were creating chances, when a few weeks back we were not, but we have got to be more clinical.
"But I thought we looked like our old selves.
"We've taken four points from our last two games and hopefully we can now go on that run that I have been talking about."

West End residents mourn murder of businessman
NEGRIL, Westmoreland — Some residents of West End in this western Jamaica town cried openly yesterday when they learnt of Tuesday's night's brutal murder of businessman Colin Lynch, who was said to be well-loved in the community.
Lynch, 51, was shot dead at his business place about 9:00 Tuesday night. The police reported that men, who were travelling on motorcycles, entered Lynch's buisnessplace where they engaged him in a brief conversation before opening fire, hitting him. Lynch was rushed to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Grieving residents claimed yesterday that five men who travelled on three motorcycles are responsible for the murder. The residents claimed that after the men shot Lynch they made off with his cash register.
Tears flowed freely from people gathered at the pastry shop which was operated by Lynch. They said the businessman was a very kind person, and wondered why anyone would want to kill him.
Lynch's widow, Sharon, who returned to Jamaica yesterday after getting news of her husband's murder, told the Jamaica Observer that an attempt was made on his life on two previous occasions.
"Him dead fi true! Colin dead, me love Colin. Jesus Christ! Look how Colin good to people and them kill him. A the best man in West End," the weeping woman said.
Others described the businessman as very quiet.
"He was not outspoken. He only lived from shop to the house. Before he quarrel with you he would prefer to cry," said one resident.
A man sporting a dreadlocks hairstyle, in lamenting the murder of the businessman, said he had encouraged Lynch to get a licensed firearm but he refused.
A family member who was listening to the conversation said Lynch would not carry a gun because he could not harm anyone.
