Malcolm sinks 10-man Fifers
Craig Malcolm was Stranraer's hero as his last-minute strike proved decisive after a spirited challenge from 10-man East Fife.
The striker's left-footed shot from the centre of the box, assisted by Anthony Marenghi, found the top-left corner and settled a tense match.
Both sides had begun the season with victories in the Scottish Challenge Cup against higher-league opposition and the confidence derived from that was reflected on the pitch in an evenly-contested first half.
The tie was in need of a turning point to break the mould, which duly arrived when visiting forward Kevin Smith was dismissed for a crude tackle on Scott Robertson just short of the hour mark.
From there on in the Fifers had their backs firmly to the wall but it was only in the dying seconds that their resistance wilted.

Housing will not be an "exciting market" over the next five years and investors would do better to put money into stocks, Yale Economics Professor Robert Shiller told CNBC on Monday.
The co-founder of the Case-Shiller Home Price Index said in a "Squawk Box" interview, "There are positive signs [in housing] definitely. But I'm not confident at all that [prices] will keep going up."
He advised, "You'd do better to invest in farmland or stocks. There are lots of alternatives." But he did warn that farmland might be nearing a bubble.

The number of criminals being given suspended sentences has soared in the last decade in Derbyshire.
Figures from the Centre for Crime Prevention showed that in 2002 only two per cent of prison terms – or 41 sentences handed down by judges and magistrates in Derbyshire – were suspended.
However, in 2012, 31 per cent of offences – 980 offences – were dealt with by means of a suspended jail term in Derbyshire.
Offenders serving suspended jail terms include a Derbyshire man who strangled a cat and then threw its body in the bin.

Hi, I'm Daniel Ellis from Kent in the UK.
My MythTV system consists of the following hardware:-
- Antec Fusion Remote Veris Black
- Antec 380W EarthWatts Green PSU
- Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H Motherboard (Hardware rev 3.5, BIOS version F9)
- AMD Phenom II X4 840 Socket AM3 3.2GHz CPU
- Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz XMS3 Memory
- Western Digital WD20EARS 2TB Hard Drive SATAII 64MB Cache
- Asus GT 430 1GB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card
- LiteOn iHOS104 4x BD-ROM SATA Blu-Ray Drive
- Xenta Wireless Keyboard
- KWorld PC1602T Dual DVB Tuner
And software:-
- Ubuntu 11.04
- MythTV 0.24.1
Favourite theme is Blue Abstract
Big thanks to the MythTV developers and the whole Linux community!
What works without issues
- Watching TV
- Scheduling recordings
- Watching recordings
- MythVideo
Current Issues
- Ubuntu 11.04 sometimes hangs when shutting down, leaving the machine on after recordings. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/824369 This is due to lirc freezing, for now I have resolved this issue by removing lirc from the shutdown process, which has zero negative affects and fixes the issue. The underlying issue is still to be determined.
- After shutdown the Veris remote fails to power on the machine. (this seems to be related to the above issue, as my workaround for that appears to have fixed this!)
- LCD backlight remains on after shutdown.
Thread discussing the backlight issue
Video comparing Windows shutting down and Ubuntu 11.04
- The TV tuner (KWorld PC1602T) does not work after a system reboot. It only works after a power cycle. I have not tried the card resuming from suspend yet.
- MythMusic does not work from remote frontends. It only works from a local filesystem or using NFS shares. Someone needs to update MythMusic to use the new streaming framework that MythTV uses.
Nice to haves
- I would like a way to change exit prompt so that Yes is selected as default. Other people wanting to do the same at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/305727 but no answer yet.

if anyone out there wants to see how BK used to be, look at some of my old blogs and blog posts and look through the number of posts on the blogs. Yes it used to be fun.
I would have to agree!

- Description
DetailsThe Laminova laminar flow cooler has opened the automotive market to oil to water coolers. Oil to air coolers are lighter, cheaper and less bulky for comparable performance but Laminova coolers are resistant to crash damage, can be cleaned after a blow up and in installations where a plentiful air flow cannot be obtained are invaluable. The main components, the outer shell and the cores are aluminium extrusions. The cores have been machined to provide fins 0.2 mm (7 thou) thick and 3mm high and spaced 0.3mm (11 thou) apart through which the oil flows. Such restrictive finning would normally cause a huge pressure drop, but by introducing channels in the finning, the oil flow is kept laminar as opposed to turbulent as in other cooler designs and the pressure drop remains low. The water flows through extruded channels in the outer shell, removable plugs/restrictors control water pressure drop. 43mm core.

Not sure if this should be part of this thread or not so excuse me if its not supposed to be here.
I have upgraded every part of my K60. Its working pretty well, the last thing I need to address is the smell and fumes. I have a 1 car garage, town home situation so I have neighbors who are pretty close. Im looking for suggestions on how to handle this. Anyone have any good suggestions for a fume extractor? The ones Im seeing are pretty expensive. So looking for alternatives.

be seen but not a itit of bunting was any where vis ible;no flag vv ls thing not even over governor's sland pretty soon through the mist we discovered the cutter washington — which is not named for the immortal george the officers say coming np to the pier it is a trim little vessel and flys the custom house hag at the stern which has the stripes running up and down and a 111 ttk eagle on a white ground i in place of t lie si ars 1 went on board with captain wha len ajnl several officers one boarding officer sil ways yoinj down on each trip and i staff officer for each passenger vessel that is expected now what is boarding officer and what is staff officer a boarding officer boards each vessel that conies into this harbor takes the ship's manifest and passen ger list and returns to the cutter the taff officer go?s only on board of ships carrying gist-cabin pas engers takes the sworn statement of each pas senger as to his or her dutiable proper ty and comes up to the city on the ship there are ten cutters detailed for this work and several officers ! capt whalen being the superintei d enf with headquarters at the barge office the cutter seldom goes below the narrows the incoming vessels being caught at quarantine and fre quently lower down or further up the bay they are sigi awl from sandy hook to the barge office and the : boarding officer calculates the time it will take them to get up in the bay before it will be necessary for him to start out of en he cutter is on duty from 6 o'clock m the morning until t at night and the number of vessels boarded varies from one to twenty it is said that very few u unmarried men apply for positions on a revenue \ cutter for incoming ships are so un certain that engagements for afternoon or evening with a best girl must frequently be broken sometimes half j the da r passes without the arrival of j even one vessel and the officer do nothing but linger about the office as a ship may be reported at any mo ment they cannot leave for an instant then too if a vessel crosses the bar j one minute before sunset she is allow ed to come up co the city and the cut ter must go own to in et her which keeps the officer on duty until late in the evening if she crosses one min ute after sunset however she cannot come up to her pier until the next moi nmg the cutter is a cozv little vessel her : commander captain smythe having a suite of comfortable rooms prettily furnished they are small of course there is no room for bric-a-brac por tieres screens and the thousand and one things that women love to hang about their rooms hut there were several mirrors how about the vani ' tv of man and why on earth should they need minors to see how they look when there are no ivcinen on boar i wonder when the strong-minded woman in her bloomer costume conies to occupy this position will she take ild'iii the mirrors here i also a comfortable and pretty saloon for the officers outside an awning extends all around the vessel and over the tern where we passed a goo deal of our time parasols were not needed but a shawl was found to b 1 an aid to comfort when folded and placed against the flagstaff to make a soft rest for the back a iliirut of narrow steep stairs leads to the upper deck where is a pilot house and pilot brown stands at the wheel while the officers sit about on the cushioned seat that is built against the wall a telesc pe field-glass and a high four-legged stool complete the furniture of this apartment our first trip was over to the jersey coast where we stooped at a pier called black tom though green tom would have been in ire appropriate from the grass glowing on the pier a still quiet spot it is and as lonely as if it were a thousand miles fro'.n the city we carried up some government property tools and such things and the men on the pier cam and carried them away upon their shoulders in a solemn manner quite in keeping with the ghostlike fog through which they moved after this we started down the bay to the steamer bolivia that had arriv ed the night before on the way we passed the austrian man-of-war that had been anchored in the harbor for several weeks two big trump steam ers ami only a few smaller vessels for it was vet too early for many vessels to be out whether on business or pleasure the bolivia was anchored off the statue of liberty and near her was the queen of the national line that had also arrived the day before but could not go up to the city because the docks were full the bolivia looked very big looming up in the mist and as 1 sat on the four-legged stool looking out of the window of the pilot house 1 began to feel that we were very small even if we did represent the government as this big vessel had come from the mediterranean stop ping a trieste naples sorrentu and gibralter and bmigirg a hug ■ni.mb r of steerage passengers mostly italians the boarding officer took the precau tion to light cigar before going on board a ladder was placed on the deck of tha cutter to le.-in up against the side of the big steamer and two officers climbed up and boarded the vessel i wanted to go too but the art of climbing ladder was not includ ed in my education and as no one sug gested my going 1 remained silent on deck and'studied the vessel from for eign parts from the outsi le the offi cers were talking together on deck and several men leaned over the railing re garding us with indolent interest they were probably second cabin pas sengers but possessed little of the ; beauty an i picture queness of italians j it was u:ilv a we w re steaming away that we passed dose to the stern of the vessel and saw a crowd of italian both men aud women and some of them in the bright costumes of their native land a woman in a blue bodice caught the eye of one of the boarding officers who when n shore spends i his time cultivating his artistic talents and is always on the lookout for bits of color as the cutter turned i glanced | at the statue of liberty and never had i i seen her look more majestic we were directly in front of her amtat just j the right distance to get the best effect which was heightened by the thin veil of mist through which site was seen it is the wise woman who wears si veil no matter how beautiful she may be we go down to quarantine and just before reaching there the pilot thinks he sees an incoming steamer in the distance she is eagerly looked at through the glass by all of us and i began to feel like a pirate when it turns out that the pilot was mistaken i feel as if we had lost a prize that we ought to have captured we pass pilot boat no 2 with all sails set and soon we are at quarantine all the officers go ashore but no vessel has been re ported there so we sail away to the city it is quite a long sail ai d we desert the pilot house for the seat under the awning at the stern of the vessel where the officers regale us with accounts of absent wives tales of the violent thunderstorms that they had experienced while on duty this sum mer with some anticipation of what they are to d during vacation up in the mountains as far away from the sea as possible but what better va cation they want than sailing about the waters of new york harbor i can not imagine unless it is the presence of the l tt3rnal feminine to which the government object when its officers are on duty one of the sailors was polishing up the brass trimmings of the vessel which bit of housekeeping delightened my feminine soul we return to th city too soon to please me and to h.3 office where we learn that the erin of the national line has been signaled from sandy hook and will be up in about two hours an agent from castle garden is reading from the ticker the dumber of steerage passengers on the lihn that arrived the previous evening from bremen well he says i must hurry to castle garden and get those hookers off i want to ask him what uiiook ers are but he is gone before i have a chance we start off again going up the north river and 1 make myself com fortable on the lower deck the morning is pretty far advanced by this time and there are more vessels to lie s en the coney island steamer with u npty decks starting from its pier and and some g;-uly decorated excursion steamers and barges aiv going hither and thither the jersey ferryboats are crowded with pisseugers and i realize that the busy day in the city has begun the smart little tugs seem inclined to run races with u and the gauzy veil of mist still half conceals and half re veals everything through it the tug and barge go down to the bolivia to take ofi the steerage passengers and i cannot help thinking that as this mist hall reveals the city to them so do their own possibilities half reveal to til mu what their future will !>■in the coun try of their adoption we stop at the north german lloyd pier and see the lihn il her dock a small steamer at the pier is crowded with german immigrants who are on their way to castle garden well-to do they look and quite foreign in ap pearance some of the men's hats re minding me of pictures tlii't 1 have seen of german students on some of their faces is a pathetic expression as if it had been hard for them t > leave the fatherland i cannot say that any of their faces show hopeful anticipation of the future we take on several custom officers who had been detailed to look after the baggage belonging to the passengers of the lilin and then we get back to the city many f the officers leave us here and we take on a paymaster who is going over to south brooklyn to pay off the men on the cutter grant which is detailed for outside duty but is now to be laid up for r pairs the stern of the cutter is our lounging place this time and a lazy little trip we have up gowanns bay where we tie up at the clinton street pier the paymaster goes ashore and we wait for him it is as piiet and still here as a sunday m r.iing in the country the sun has come

Bluffton has been described as a place laden with history and singular charm, a place that's been described as artsy, quirky, unique, and yes, even a bit eccentric.
It's place where the environment takes center stage, with the ecologically-sensitive May River as its centerpiece and ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss that create a canopy on many of the town's streets.
It's also a place that welcomes and embraces visitors, new residents and a wide range of businesses, from top-notch health care to high-tech enterprises to charming eateries to marvelous shops.
Bluffton is a place - at least for the people who live in this special town - that's just a bit sweeter than anywhere else.
But how can the community define and market the town to entice new businesses and lure visitors while retaining its delightful character? How does Bluffton hold onto its treasured past and its fragile environment while embracing future growth?
Those questions are being asked as part of a wide-ranging project to create a marketing program, or "branding" of Bluffton. The project is being conducted in three phases, the second of which will get underway at the beginning of October.
"In the minds of many, Bluffton has been literally the middle child of the Lowcountry, sandwiched between the world-class resorts of Hilton Head Island and the historic beauty of Savannah," said Bluffton Mayor Lisa Sulka. "Yet those who live in Bluffton know how different and distinctive we are from other coastal communities.
"Branding Bluffton is an important tool in our overall economic development plan to differentiate Bluffton for residents, tourists and businesses. We have a story to tell and branding Bluffton is one way we are telling it."
The concept of branding the community got its start in 2006 when the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce conducted a regional brand study.
"Bluffton was growing dramatically," said Susan Thomas, vice president of the chamber's Visitor & Convention Bureau. "There were a lot of changes happening in Bluffton, so we determined that we'd look at this issue five years down the road, and here we are.
"We really wanted to involve the residents and local businesses in this project. We want them to be a part of the economic decision-making when looking at tourism, start-ups or existing businesses into Bluffton," she said.
The cost of the project is $93,100, with $73,100 from bed tax dollars - also known as ATAX or accommodations tax - being contributed by the chamber and the other $20,000 coming from the town of Bluffton.
The project got underway early this year with the bid-process and hiring of a brand marketing agency, Rawle Murdy of Charleston.
There are three phases to the project, the first of which started in June. It consisted of several charettes, or meetings where stakeholders - residents, businesses and town leaders - came together to address what Bluffton means to them and how they envision growth in the community, said Scott Ziegler, of Rawle Murdy.
"Our goal was to identify core values. The people here have a tremendous passion about this community, a sense of being a very unique coastal town," he said, adding that more than 100 people showed up at each of the four charettes.
"The thing they really care about is the desire to grow, but to grow in the right way," he said. "That is, how can we be forward-leaning but maintain that sense of being eclectic? Our challenge is taking that sense of history and what makes Bluffton special and unique, and intersecting the old and the new."
Thomas said she was excited that so many different voices were heard at the charettes. "They were very informative and the diversity of the participation was terrific," she said.
In addition to Rawle Murdy, the chamber and town are also working with Simon Hudson, the director of the S.C. Center of Economic Excellence in Tourism and Economic Development at the University of South Carolina, and John Salazar, director of the Lowcountry Resort Island Tourism Institute and USC-Columbia's SMARTState Center at USCB.
The content of those discussions from the charettes are currently being transcribed.
The second phase of the branding project will get underway in early October, when a survey will be conducted of residents, business owners and community leaders.
Once the survey is complete, the third and final phase will get going. That phase will consist of creating a logo and messaging points. "It's a three-legged stool. We determine what it is residents, visitors and businesses want in our community and then create the brand to market the community to tourists and businesses alike," said Thomas. "Smart communities understand that tourism ignites economic development."
The third phase will be concluded by the end of the year. In early 2014 a presentation of the new branding efforts will be made to the community, said Thomas.
"This will be a cry for everyone to rally around," said Ziegler. "It's all about Bluffton being the best place to live and do business in the Southeast."
Bill Miles, president & CEO of the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce.

Wayward Tendrils describes both the way of the grapevine and a wonderful little group of wine bibliophilesyours truly included.
Most members of Wayward Tendrils are serious collectors of wine and food books and other writings on the subjects. As I am with all my interests, I dont get too geeky about it: collecting books isnt as much fun to me as reading them, and so I can live without owning an out-of-print book that I know is available at my local library.
Still, some things are unapproachable and because of that, they are more intriguing. Such is the case with Inaugural Medical Address About Wines, by John Michael Schosulan; Vienna, 1767.
Until the 19th century, especially in Europe, but also in the U.S., the custom was to study and write about medicine in Latin. To gain a doctorate in medicine in Europe required a thesis written in Latin. That is what Schosulans medical address was, a 55-page thesis concerning the properties of wine.
A Danish physician, Erik Sklovenborg, introduced 22 paragraphs of the dissertation in the latest Wayward Tendrils Quarterly, a publication for members. Piero Perron, an Italian nuclear engineer with a Jones for Latin studies, translated the thesis.
Much of the medical benefits of wine that come to us today as news, were already believed in ancient times. Certainly, Schosulan believed much of it in 1767. Perron is also president of an Italian beer brewers association, but he admits that after translating Schosulans thesis, he developed a respect for, and began moderate consumption of wine.
In the translated thesis are wonderful passages about wines workings through our digestive and circulatory systems. Not to mention the marvelous things that wine can do for us (there is, however, mention of the downside of over imbibing). One of the many insights that caught my eye was Schosulans mention of the use of sulphur (we know it as sulfur dioxide, SO2).
Schosulan talks about protecting wine from the degradations of oxidation, which he quaintly refers to as air. He talks about topping up casks and adding olive oil as a film on top, of aromatic spices sprinkled on a cloth and then lit, or of lighting distilled alcohol, presumably to use up the air around the wine. Of all the methods, however, he points out that sulfur dioxide alone makes all other methods needless. Where have I heard that before?
I suggest anyone with an interest in wine books and wine history sign up for membership in Wayward Tendrilsit costs no more than a bottle of wine for a one-year subscription to the quarterly.
Being made up of a bunch of bibliophiliacs, Wayward Tendrils doesnt seem to have a Web site. But there is an email address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
On another note connected to writing, Mike Steinberger has a fine piece of writing in Fine Wine Magazine, a truly expensive but well executed wine-centric periodical from Britain that, sadly, for me, I have yet to infiltrate as a writer.
Steinbergers piece is about the wine critic/writing world of today. My only beef with the piece is that, like most, he seems to equate wine criticism with wine writing. I view them as separate functions.
The article has stirred a lot of online talk. Take a look at it for yourself, at:
PS: Ill be traveling next week. Will post my next entry the following week. I hope to have something to say after a few days in New York City.

SUNFED -- Chinese High-Fashion Womenswear Brand Invited to Who's Next Paris
Jan 19, 2013, 09:00 ET
PARIS, Jan. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As a high-fashion original designer brand in China, SUNFED has been invited to the Who's Next Paris fair this year. With its crossover collaboration with the well-known sculptor Gao Xiaowu, SUNFED will give a fashion show themed as "Moving Boundary". As the only Chinese high fashion brand to be invited, SUNFED will definitely act as a positive example of brand internationalization for the Chinese fashion world through its trip to Paris.
The Only Invited Chinese High-Fashion Womenswear Brand
Known as the trends lab of the international fashion scene, Who's Next is not only a professional exhibition for fashion designers to showcase their works, but also an important platform to reveal the next season's prevailing trends. The increasing proportion of emerging brands joining the exhibition shows the professional standards of Who's Next in exploring the rising stars. These emerging brands are also new sources of inspiration and procurement targets for global professional buyers. The honor of being the only invited Chinese high-fashion womenswear brand is another step for Sunfed after its design director Helene Zhou becoming the first Chinese jury member of an international fabric trends exhibition, which symbolizes a brand-new milestone of Chinese high-fashion brands entering the international stage.
Extracting Dunhuang Spirituality, Transforming the Fashion Landscape
At a time when global design is being "sinicized", SUNFED perfectly interprets the theme of this show - "Moving Boundary" - with contemporary art techniques in Paris. The head portrait of a traditional lady with oriental beauty made by renowned sculptor Gao Xiaowu brings out the demeanour and elegance of SUNFED's costumes.
SUNFED will present its 2013 Fall/Winter collection in the show, including the highlighted series of "Dunhuang" and "Dragon Robe". The "Dunhuang" series evolved out of the magnificent paintings in the Mogao Grottoes, inspiring the vivid colors of women's life by using bright-colored silk fabrics and specially stitched tailoring. The "Dragon Robe" series derives from the five traditional Chinese colors (black, white, red, yellow and green) extensively used in the daily wardrobes of crown princesses of the Qing dynasty, as well as the four patterns symbolizing auspiciousness (richness, dignity, longevity and happiness) which were commonly used by the Chinese royal family.
About SUNFED
The Chinese name SUNFED is a transliteration, originating in the traditional Chinese Kunqu opera "Torn Down" ("Si Fan"), which was one of the last performances by Peking opera master Mei Lanfang. In the opera, a detached young lady yearns for the beautiful ordinary life and longs for the freedom of life and self-redemption. SUNFED is not simply a brand name. It is a symbol of the feminine culture, advocating the noble spirits of purity, perfection and dignity, proposing a bourgeois lifestyle and pursuing an elegant and noble realm of life.
Founded in 1997 as an original Chinese designer brand, SUNFED inspires the inner perception that "I am inherently a pretty woman" with its unique clothing style, distinct spiritual pursuit and cultural system, as well as extraordinary value communication. It is the dream of every female who pursues the perfect life.
SUNFED Design Director Helene Zhou
As the soul and style builder of the SUNFED brand, Helene Zhou has created a unique style of magnificent atmosphere. With rich experiences of studying abroad in Japan and Chambre syndicale de la couture Parisienne, as well as her "percipient hands", which can precisely tell the fabric's proportions, she became the first Chinese jury member of "the PV (Premiere Vision) jury of the World's Premier Fabric Show Trends Exhibition" in 2011. In 2012, Helene Zhou set up a design department in London. With her world-class capacities, she goes out of her way to observe and judge the fashion trends led by Chinese oriental elements and presents Chinese national characteristics on the international stage. Helene Zhou and SUNFED draw strength and absorb spirits from each other, while helping each other constantly go beyond themselves to create miracles.

What happened to Atkins? Kinsey is one to look out for. He's been impressive lately. Gay, Warrick, and Gasol have all been putting up their numbers consistently recently... so keeping Kinsey from taking off will ensure a W. I'm not guarenteeing it, but I will believe it.

I don't see a blowout, but it should be a ws win...they tend to play to the level of the opposition (other than the Spurs spanking)

They were out last game we played them just a few days ago and we just won
We also lost Baron early. He runs our offense and sets players up. He creates a certain presence that helps these guys play with intensity. Hopefully, he doesn't get T'd up for gum chewing again.

Christensen reconnects with the game he loves the most
For the past two months or so, Broken Bow had been looking for a rainmaker. At approxiametly 6:30 Thursday night, farmers crops and families yards received a much needed bath. The most telling sign that there was a higher power that night, however, came when Chad Christensen stepped on the baseball field at Tomahawk Park.Just as Christensen had done a week earlier at a Lincoln Saltdogs game, he threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the championship game that was postponed until Monday at 7 p.m."It's amazing," Christensen said. "It's a miracle. To throw that pitch, it felt like it was right to do."Being on the field was a monumental step for Christensen, as just two weeks earlier, he was having to re-learn how to walk and how to talk as well as some of life's other most basic motions.As Christensen was fighting for his life at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, it was baseball, along with countless prayers and endless support that pulled him through. When he was still technically unconscious in his hospital bed, Chad's father put a rubber baseball in his hand.With his pitchers instinct, he rotated the ball and found the seams used to throw a fastball. Once Christensen was up and walking at the Madonna Rehabilitation Center in Lincoln, one of the first things he did with his arms was toss a baseball to his dad.Baseball was important to Christensen before the accident, but after all he has been through, he has seen, firsthand what the game has given back to him."It's really important," Christensen said. "I'm really proud of my team and how far they have come. I wish I could have been here, but I listened to them every time they were on the radio and they won all of them pretty much."After an experience like this, Christensen has learned a few simple life lessons. "I wear my seatbelt now, automatically," Christensen said. "God has been with me and this has brought me closer to Him. I'm going to go to church now. I was going on Wednesdays, but now I'm going to go on Sundays too. The prayers have helped a lot."Christensen doesn't remember the posters of prayer and support on the walls of the waiting room outside his hospital room in Kearney (he still struggles with memory loss that is slowly improving), but there is one person that does.His mother, Cathy has shown her devotion to her son and has been by his side throughout the entire time."I've taken it a day at a time," Cathy said. "That's how you get through it. Everyday, Chad seemed to improve. We focused on his positive. He met all his two week goals in almost half the time. They are just amazed with his progress and how he is doing."The first night, where doctors had to take a drill and operate on his brain to decrease the swelling, was the hardest."We prayed all the time," Cathy said. "We just kept praying and praying. We knew God was going to take care of us."For the Christensen's, God has taken care of a lot for the family and the community of Broken Bow. Not long after Chad stepped on the field, the farmers crops and the families yards received a much needed bath.Chad Christensen, surrounded in a circle by his teammates- the teammates that are so much a part of who he is- and being watched by the onlookers of the community that clung to the wire fence like he was some sort of movie star or celebrity, took the baseball in his hand, reared back and threw.The pitch was a sign that he was a celebrity, only what the people that were lucky enough to witness that night wasn't an act. It was living proof that miracles can happen. It was living proof that the game is still there for him and still loves him just as much as he still loves it- the game he almost lost."I'm just thankful to be alive," Chad said.

Dodgy driver Robert Carson posed as a car-buyer before stealing a high performance Honda and taking it on a dangerous drive round Chesterfield.
Derby Crown Court heard last Tuesday how Carson jumped red traffic lights, took a left-hand bend too wide and drove on the wrong side of a road.
Carson, 27, was only caught when he parked the Honda Civic R outside Chesterfield Royal Hospital after a 20 minute drive on January 24.
The offence took place only ten weeks after magistrates gave him a suspended prison term for dangerous driving.
And Recorder Keith Raynor imposed a 23-month prison sentence and a four-year driving ban on Carson of Derby Road, Chesterfield, after he admitted theft of a car, driving dangerously, driving while banned and having no insurance.
Recorder Raynor told him: "You drove on the wrong side of the road and cars had to swerve.
"This was not the worst piece of dangerous driving but there was a serious risk to others and it could have led to more serious circumstances."
Annette Thomas, mitigating, said Carson showed remorse when questioned by police.
She said: "He was struggling with substantial family problems but doesn't seek to blame that. He was feeling depressed and lonely."
The drive began in Holmewood and was partly tracked by a police helicopter.
Sarah Allen, prosecuting, said Carson visited a man who was selling the car and agreed to buy it but drove it away. The court heard the car appeared to be heading for the M1. Carson's previous dangerous driving offence was in a stolen BMW in which he refused to stop for police and struck three vehicles, according to the court.

Vaccine research gets a shot in the arm
June 12, 2013
It's a fact too easily overlooked: vaccines are huge life-savers. They prevent up to 3 million deaths a year, according to the World Health Organization. That's pretty impressive, and there is much more to come. Advances in biotechnology are giving vaccine research a shot in the arm, increasing the opportunities to develop new vaccines – and careers.
As Edward Jenner discovered more than 200 years ago, exposing people to a harmless pathogen can offer them protection against a dangerous, related one. Back then, Jenner injected people with cowpox to protect them against the much more harmful smallpox. In the intervening centuries, we became adept at making vaccines from dangerous microbes that we had first made harmless.
"It was a very simple approach. You attenuated or killed the pathogen, and that was your vaccine," says Margaret Ackerman at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth in Hanover, New Hampshire...

No kidding. Rick Warren, lukewarm on the president he honored with an invocation at the first inauguration, told Chris Wallace he prays for Obama because that's what Jesus would do. Never occurred to him that (1) claiming anything relevant because it is in the Buybull is circular reasoning, (2) claiming that you know what Jesus would do is delusional and without historic basis in fact, again leading to the Buybull as the only written source, and (3) prayer has been shown, statistically, to not work most of the time and to actually produce collateral damage in any case. Pray in one hand, crap in the other; see which fills up faster. This is the same Rick Warren, mind you, who wrote that he grieved for the death of "my friend Christopher Hitchens," adding, "at least he now knows the Truth" (capital T, no kidding).
Views: 227
I remember watching the President's first inauguration, when Warren got on the podium. I turned to a friend and said something to effect that I couldn't believe the President invited that fat-assed, bigoted, bastard to speak. Warren is the "moderate" and "acceptable" face of the likes of Jerry (I'm Still Dead) Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Tony Perkins (not to be confused with the Tony Perkins actor of Psycho, but the real psycho from the Family Research Council).
Ricky "Rodent Faced" Warren has compared being gay to consuming arsenic and supports the hatred and murder being committed in Uganda against gays. He has told a Jew he can't go to heaven for not accepting Jesus, but a dog can get there. He denies evolution and is an open misogynist. My personal opinion of this cheap, pompous, ignorant, arrogant, bloated, festering pustule of a hate-monger is that he's not worth the cost of the gunpowder to remove his worthless ass from humanity.
Now tell us what you really think! Har har. Actually, I agree with 99% of what you say, but you don't take issue with my point that religions are businesses and should be taxed as such. If a parishoner goes to the psychologist with problems, the mental health expert takes their money and pays taxes. Why should it be any different for the Priesthood? Warren is probably jealous of fellow con man Joel Osteen, since Joel has such a trophy Blonde Spouse and hauls in an estimated 10,000 congregants each week. My dermatologist plays him while I am being separated from skin cancers. Warren is much lower on the totem pole than Joel. Joel makes a ton of money going from city to city doing TV spots for megachurch wannabes. These people are selling myth and getting fabulously rich. It is a deceptive trade practice.
Two solutions
1) Truth in Labeling. Put a disclaimer on every sermon, printed holy book, and every televised preachment of the bouffant hair styled snake oil sales... er, televangelists, which says, "What you about to read or hear is not based in reality, rationality, or sanity. There is not now, nor ever been, any proof for this stuff. Proceed at your own level of gullibility."
2) Tax them at the going corporate rate. They engage in a business. Albeit, there product is fear and self-loathing. But they make a buck off of it, just like other motivational speakers. And, so long as they engage in this business, they must treat their employees just like Kraft, GM, IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon. If you provide insurance, that includes birth control. Don't like it? Then get out of the marketplace.
Funny, I can't find Barack Obama anywhere in the Bible, so I am fairly sure it doesn't say anything about praying for him.
Unless he thinks the President is hell-bound, or needs divine intervention to do his earthly job, not because he thinks the President is a heathen, atheistic Muslim socialist that needs to be shown The Light (tm).
Don't be silly. II Centurians 23:43, "And there shall be one of light black skin and big ears rise in the western isles and he shall rule upon the prayers of the people." Some non-believers have claimed this is a misspelling from the Koine Greek: it is not "prayers" but "preyers," which of course brings an altogether new meaning. As you know, Koine had no punctuation, so "GOD IS NOW HERE" could just as easily be "GOD IS NOWHERE." In any case, "preyers of the people" makes far more sense, considering the machinations of the
Black Brotherhood and especially the Romans.
Some of that sentiment is borrowed from the late Robert Anton Wilson, whose "Natural Law" is MUST reading for any non-believer. He thoroughly debunks the notion that Catholics have peddled for centuries that there is any such thing as "natural law," by which the RCC means God's law. Any good Darwinist knows, the two are mutually exclusive. The Vatican's lobby groups work overtime creating Luntzian euphemisms for bullshit.
II Centurions? Is that the II Centurions from the Cylons' holy book in Battlestar Galactica, or is it an apocryphal appendix to the Book of Romans?
The writers of BSG stole this slogan of mine, I have used for years, in the spirit of the Christian Gnostics (some of whom I admire, incidentally, for turning the O.T. on its head). To match my desire to deviate from the canonicals yet pretend to be quoting from the BuyBull, I hatched I and II Centurians. Now, everyone is onto the game and using my slogan, drat! I don't care. Everything on the Net is public domain. No imprimaturs.

There were two options for the 22-year-old engineering student who found himself half-buried beneath the remnants of his college with a crushed leg: amputate or die.
A Volunteer Minister on the ground—licensed as a practical nurse and emergency medical technician—promised the boy that he would save his life. Coordinating with an orthopedic surgeon in the US, the EMT arranged for transportation to a Connecticut hospital, where the young man was operated on. He is walking again today, with the help of a prosthetic leg. His story—the saving of a life that garnered TV and newspaper coverage—is but a small excerpt of the ongoing narrative of Volunteer Ministers in Haiti.
"I saw your Ministers," said Raymond Al Cid Joseph, Haitian Ambassador to the US. "I saw the way they related to people, the way that they brought comfort to those who were in distress, the way they shipped things on their own ships to Haiti. These things we can't repay. The only thing I can say is thank you for what they've done and for coming around Haiti in solidarity."
The Volunteer Ministers' contribution in Haiti began just hours after the first shockwave was felt on January 12th. As veterans of disaster response, they mobilized immediately. Arriving on a chartered jet from New York, sponsored by Scientologists, the first group touched down on the 17th of January.
What they faced upon arrival was almost unspeakable, with an estimated 300,000 casualties, and the bulk of all medical facilities wiped off the map. The magnitude 7.3 earthquake also destroyed anything resembling an emergency response network, confirming pre-quake evaluations that the country would be unable to cope with a natural disaster. Even the Presidential Palace, National Assembly building and main jail were wrecked.
The first round of Scientology Volunteer Ministers began by consolidating and organizing more than six tons of food, clothing and medical supplies. Soon thereafter, two more teams of Volunteer Ministers arrived—one from Mexico City and the other aboard a Scientology-sponsored flight from Los Angeles. Collaborating with regional military groups—including the Dutch Marines from the Netherlands Antilles—they assisted in the distribution of supplies to victims throughout the city.
On the 23rd of January, an even larger contingent of Volunteer Ministers arrived, bringing with them over 60 surgeons, nurses and EMTs on a flight from New York sponsored by the Church of Scientology. Teaming with the US 82nd Airborne, the VMs ran logistics for medical personnel and other rescue workers on the ground.
To compound matters, as aftershocks of 5.9 and 6.1 continued to rumble through the nation's capital, Port-au-Prince, those hospitals still standing were forced to evacuate.
Medical personnel and the Volunteer Ministers assisting them were faced with patients in critical condition, lining lawns and sidewalks. Absent standard sanitization, doctors struggled to save lives. Working alongside the medics, Volunteer Ministers hydrated and fed patients and ran night shifts on hospital grounds.
Meanwhile, another team of Volunteer Ministers pitched in organizing, logging and distributing 60 tons of provisions at Miami University Hospital (named for the Miami University personnel manning the facility).
But more supplies were direly needed, as nearly half a million Haitians were displaced and more than 300,000 injured. Accordingly, on January 25th actor, pilot and Scientologist John Travolta flew in 8,000 pounds of high-end medical equipment on his personal jet from Florida. Mr. Travolta also transported nine doctors, including a reconstructive surgeon for the children maimed by the disaster.
Finally, also on the 25th, presiding physicians at Port-au-Prince Central Hospital declared that, for the first time since the quake struck, not a single life had been lost that day.
"The Scientology Volunteer Ministers were angels of mercy in a time of dire need here in Haiti," said Abdul Alim Muhammad, Minister of Health for the Nation of Islam's Haiti Relief Effort. "And so my hat is off to them. They've done a great job across the board making it possible for others to come in and then do their jobs."
The Volunteer Ministers then broadened the scope of their efforts and continued to work alongside US agencies. With the support of the US 82nd Airborne's 2nd battalion, Volunteer Ministers distributed just under 80 tons of provisions to almost 15,000 displaced Haitians.
VMs also assumed control of the 70 displaced children from a gutted orphanage, providing a makeshift shelter that was eventually dubbed, "The Future of Haiti Orphanage."
And VM teams included their own medical personnel, from doctors to nurses and midwives. They worked through sixteen refugee camps, each bursting with up to 10,000 people in tents.
"No matter what we asked them to do—carry patients, guard the door, sort supplies, run errands, it didn't make any difference," said Vincent Gennaro, Assistant Chief of Surgery for Project Medishare's Haiti Relief Effort. "They didn't ask any questions, they just did it."
From February 4th onward, the emphasis of their efforts shifted to training others in the full array of Volunteer Ministers' technology. Included in that technology are assists for relieving mental and physical trauma, as well as practical tools for organizing and resolving conflicts, which VM teams relayed while others still handled the ongoing need for supplies. Everything from penicillin to baby food was lacking to keep the people of Haiti alive. In response, Volunteer Ministers employed a converted coastguard cutter, The Hornbeam, to provide 105 tons of provisions and equipment from 9 international organizations. Arriving on the 7th of April, the ship ensured Volunteer Ministers and other relief workers would no longer be hamstrung by supply shortages.
In the weeks that followed, renovations and repair kicked into high gear on a permanent base from which the Volunteer Ministers could assist residents of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. Their center, which opened on May 29th, not only provides temporary housing and other facilities for VMs arriving from outside the country, it also helps train Haitians in the Volunteer Minister technology.
While newly trained Haitians in turn started their own teams, the number of local Volunteer Ministers groups throughout the country has now exceeded 740, providing a powerful and widespread influence.
Haitian VMs are growing exponentially since the grand opening of a permanent center in a suburb of Haiti's Capital Port-au-Prince and now have 4,260 Volunteer Ministers active on any given week. This army of ministers also tours cities and villages 10 hours from the capital's base, delivering seminars to civil protection workers, policemen and civilians.
All told, more than 41,000 per week are helped by Scientology Volunteer Ministers on average in Haiti, and upwards of 1,500 seminars are delivered in the same time frame.
Though the impact made by the Volunteer Ministers is created one individual at a time, at the end of the day the numbers say so much in the wake of this disaster. In the past nine months, VMs have aided more than one million people and trained 1/10 of Haiti's population in Volunteer Minister tools, helping one in every 9 Haitians with VM technology. With Volunteer Ministers arriving from 22 different nations, the scope of this relief effort literally spans the globe.
It is the Volunteer Ministers' hope that out of the rubble will arise a future brighter than any this impoverished nation has had to look forward to.
And the VMs have proven here—in the face of tremendous chaos, danger and devastation—that something can be done about it.

Can I write the following:
There still exist
What about in the following:
?????There still exist a number of possibilities.
because of possibilities?
In addition, the position of the adverb 'still' is fine, but you will need to add a subject, as Red5 has pointed out, in order to complete the sentence:Originally Posted by Unregistered
EX: There still exist some possibilities.
If the logical subject is plural, then the verb will be plural:
EX: There still exist some possibilities. (Plural agreement)
If the logical subject is singular, then the verb will be singular:
There still exists a possibility. (Singular agreement)
Dank you, Pretty Cassy and the first man in the world!
