OKRA's charity bar, a collaborative idea from the organization's founders, has finally found a space in the former Red Cat Jazz Café location at 924 Congress Street in downtown Houston. The bar, yet to be named by the group, will be opening in approximately four months following minor renovations and licensing. OKRA is currently looking for financial contributions from individuals in order to fund opening costs. Justin Yu, of Oxheart, and other members have anxiously awaited this project for months because as Yu comments, "the bar gives OKRA an outlet to support the community that supports our businesses every day".
Once open, 100% of the bar's proceeds will be donated to a different Houston-based organization or social cause each month. Bar patrons will have the opportunity to select which charity is chosen as a beneficiary by voting from among four nominees for next month's elected charity. For each drink purchased, guests will receive one vote that they may cast before leaving the bar for the evening. The hope is that by benefiting a new charity each month and nominating four for the following, funding will be acquired for elected charities and awareness will be generated for other nominees. The space will also be available for events and activities that benefit additional organizations in Houston in need of a gathering space.
The history of the building firmly reflects OKRA's commitment to the local Houston community. When Houston was founded in 1836, Congress and Main was the city's primary intersection and shaped downtown Houston's development. OKRA's new bar space was built in the 1880's and is located just off of the historic intersection in the hub of the Main Street/Market Square Historic District directly across the street from the Hotel Icon. One of the oldest buildings in Houston, 924 Congress (originally 72 Congress St.) opened in 1882 as the Casino Saloon and served as a bar until Prohibition, when it became a barbershop. Since that time, the building housed several other businesses including the "Circle Bar", named for it's original circle arch and barrel vault ceilings still intact today.
Scott Repass, of Poison Girl Bar, Antidote, and Black Hole Coffee, feels the space represents a unique opportunity to "do what we love and contribute in a meaningful way in a building that is gorgeous". The spacious interior is one of the most breathtaking bar spaces in Houston, has a central, oval shaped bar surrounded by brick walls decorated with gas light fixtures and a high glass ceiling in the rear of the bar. Much like the bars and restaurants involved in OKRA, the bar will feature a well-chosen spirit selection, emphasize local brews and industry favorites, and include a small collaborative food program from the group's culinary members, including Revival Market, Oxheart, the Modular, Paulie's and others.
OKRA hopes that this bar will inspire Houstonians to embrace the historic downtown area and what it offers our community. With great neighboring concepts, such Niko Niko's, La Carafe, Hearsay, Warrens, Charbar and others located just blocks from a light rail that also connects Houstonians with establishments such as Mongoose vs. Cobra, Leons, Reef, the Continental Club, Double Trouble, and others, OKRA's advocacy for density and use of mass transit over increasing Houston's reliance on parking lots seems far more enjoyable.
The charity bar will be operated by OKRA's administration, which also independently operates some of Houston's most successful bars, including Poison Girl, Grand Prize Bar, and Anvil Bar & Refuge among other bars, coffee shops, and restaurants. While there are a few non-profit concepts functioning throughout the US in the hospitality industry, it is extremely uncommon for a group of business owners to come together in this manner. For Brad Moore of Grand Prize Bar and Big Star Bar, it is this characteristic that is most rewarding: "This project not only shows our commitment to giving back to our city, but it also showcases how cohesive OKRA is – we've found a way to be creative and have fun, all while helping worthy, local charities".
In the meantime, OKRA will continue to focus on its other efforts, including continuing to engage local officials on policies that affect independent restaurants, bars, and food trucks. OKRA also intends to push forward with other projects, such as its complimentary bike rack initiative and other public events, which have been delayed recently by a series of restaurant openings that have occupied members, including Underbelly, Hay Merchant, Oxheart, and Pass & Provisions. Rest assured, however, these plans are moving forward along with the group's new bar!
Anyone interested in helping to fund this project, should contact OKRA at email@example.com.

Walking into Bloomington Gold for the first time is like entering a large, sumptuous buffet. Where to begin? Everywhere you look there's another delicious dish, begging to be tried. You get an appetizer as you walk into the Interstate Center in Bloomington, Illinois, through the thousands of Corvettes parked just outside the gates, evidence of just some of over 40,000 people who attended from June 21-24. The main courses start the moment you're inside, with hundreds of Corvettes for sale in the GOLDMine on one side, and everything from pristine C1s to custom C4s ready to go on the block in the Mecum Auction area on the other.
The sponsor and manufacturer areas make up another course, with tents and transporters holding everything from new C5s for sale to "hard" parts, polish, and clothing. The main building provides a substantial helping, with registration in the Route 66 lobby, more vendors inside, and the Special Collection, displaying some of the most rare and valuable Corvettes in existence. Walking outside again, you can get into the real meat and potatoes of this event, the swap meets on either side of Main Street. There you'll find everything from a totaled C5 to Stingray radio knobs, as well as knick knacks and collectibles galore.
Next to the swap meet you'll find the Evolution Display, highlighting the changes in our favorite car over the years, and the GOLDField, featuring specialty cars, the Silver Salute, and the C4 and C5 Registries, among others. Diving in a bit more rewards the Bloomington diner with the house specialty, the Survivor, Benchmark, and Bloomington Gold judging field. This year's participants feasted on awards, with 37 cars taking home the coveted Survivor award for unrestored Corvettes. Thirteen of these took home the ultimate award, Benchmark, for those few Survivor cars that also achieve Bloomington Gold status. And speaking of the event's prestigious signature award, 73 cars took home the Gold this year.
And if all that isn't satisfying enough, there's all the spices and seasonings we haven't mentioned yet, like Thursday's "Corvette University" slate of workshops, the Hall of Fame, the Kid's Program, and the always popular road tour, which drew nearly 1,200 Corvettes to the roads in and around Bloomington. A more complete meal would be hard to find. And the answer to the question we posed above is, of course, to dive right in and sample some of everything. Go ahead-at this banquet, every dish is good for you.

The ultimate hotel babyproofing trick
On our recent road trip through southern California, I had a good chance to review hotel babyproofing basics as Theo, just on the verge of walking, familiarized himself with three different hotel rooms in less than a week. Yes, you can and should read all about Childproofing on the Go in Chapter 10 of Travels with Baby, and by all means use the "Checking-in Safety Checklist," but there are still times when you may find garden training wire, rubber bands, hair clips, strategically parking suitcases, and rearranging furniture are not enough to keep your curious kidlet from seeing your hotel room as a Disneyland of Dangers, and himself the holder of pass for unlimited rides.
Enter Theodore. At the first hotel, in Paso Robles, we got off pretty easily as we were only there one night and his sisters helped convince him the hotel crib was a special fun place they wanted to be, too (which it was), as we hurried to lift all the lamp cords and data wires we could up above the desk and tables where he wouldn't reach them, and moved some furniture to block access to a floor lamp and it's electrical outlet. The only real problem we encountered here was one we're already familiar with, and we were happy to disconnect the room phone for the night (just don't forget to reconnect it before you check out!). Here he is making call #437 to the front desk (a safe and manageable distraction).
When we got to our next hotel at San Diego, Theo upped the ante by adding this table lamp to the operator routine (the phone is in his other hand). Who set the suitcase next to the table on arrival—while ironically performing the initial hotel babyproofing sweep?
Not to worry, we had the ultimate weapon ready to go. This time, we had more than a double B.O.B. jogging stroller waiting for us at the hotel; we also had a "Big Bag of Toys" waiting for us provided by Toddler's Travels baby gear rentals in San Diego. (You may recall us using them in the past in Tips for Renting Baby Gear–in San Diego and Beyond). You should note that Toddler's Travels "big bag" is big enough that we could have fit all 3 of our young kids in it, though we happily didn't have to resort to that. Instead, the mix of toys they hand-picked for our kids based on their ages and my request of nothing that could be a choking hazard to the baby, proved the perfect and safe distraction any and every time we came back to the room during our stay.
I knew the third and final hotel of the trip would present a real safety issue beyond the usual hotel curly hair dryer cords and minibar concerns. There would be a stair case right in the main room. Imagine the thrill to the children of checking in to your hotel room to find your own personal flight of stairs. Wow! When the hotel explained they did not have safety gates to provide guests in these specialty suites, I wasted no time in contacting L.A. Baby Gear Rentals to line up an adjustable safety gate. Though we didn't know the specifics of the stairs or railings, I knew we would at least be able to use the wide-expanding gate to block access at the bottom of the stairs.
Silly Mommy.
Before we could get settled and bring the gate up from the front desk, I immediately set Theo in the hotel portacrib and rolled it to block the bottom of the stairs, explaining to his sisters they shouldn't get him too excited about going up the stairs, please. Although the crib had low clearance, it was no match for the shimmy of a skinny 6-year-old and her 4-year-old accomplice who were in no time surfacing on the other side of the crib and running up the stairs—much to Theo's delight.
The room had other babyproofing issues as well, including a wonderful plant that was taller than me in a large pot of rich, enticing soil. Tim eventually returned with the safety gate and we discovered that because of the odd railing type and steps, we couldn't secure it in place. The extended gate did prove very useful in creating a corner blockade for the plant and electrical outlet we needed to use for the laptop. Whew.
And that's when my daughters showed Theo a magic trick on par with those we'd watched in Balboa Park just the day before: passing body parts—then entire small people— through the backs of the open stair steps.
This is what Oprah would call an "Oh, duh, moment."
As the rain clouds gathered outside our Venice Beach hotel, I realized we might be spending more time playing on the stairs than expected and less time on the beach. And that's when Theo showed us his own magic trick—or tried. I held my breath knowing we needed to see if it would really be an issue or not. Yes, his entire body passed with ease through the side railings, thankfully at the bottom of the stairs. His head did not.
While leaning the sofa cushions of or hide-a-bed onto the bottom steps seemed to hold him off, the best babyproofing maneuver proved to be opening the box of toys also provided by L.A. Baby Gear Rentals, which we should have opened much sooner. (This particular trip seemed riddled with "Oh, duh," moments.) Out marched action figures, cars, an Elmo, dinosaurs, a magic glow wand, and a dozen other toys we'd never seen before, plus some children's books and a couple of DVDs. The safety gate was definitely helpful. The box of toys—indispensable!
I know many parents, including myself, have set out in a frantic effort pre-trip to buy some great new toys and "safe distractions" to keep the kids entertained on vacation, but I think it's hard to beat the value of having rented toys (along with baby gear) delivered for you and waiting at the hotel. At time of writing, the L.A. Baby Gear Rentals toy box is a steal at only $2 per day! And the super jumbo Big Bag of Toys from Toddler's Travels San Diego (which we used their double jogger to transport back to the front desk!) is $7 per day or $35 for a week.(Prices are subject to change, of course.)
But of course, who can put a price on child safety?
If you're thinking of renting toys, car seats, strollers, or safety gear for your next trip with baby, remember you can find baby gear rental agencies from Las Vegas to Latvia in the Worldwide Directory of Baby Gear Rentals. More related posts below.

Randy @thelollipoproad says:
I think your Theo and our Benjamin are on the same wavelength. As I was reading, I almost knew what was coming next. First step, disconnect phone, then lock away all luggage, then close bathroom door and put safety locks on room door. He still climbs on the furniture, but his older brother is in charge of blocking his way.
We have actually taught him how to remove his head from tight spaces (ie a dining room chair, bannister, etc)as his curiosity just makes him do it…over and over again.
Too funny!
HarmSkills says:
Thanks for the tips. We are staying in a hotel for the first time since Nov… the first time since C has been mobile! So we will be doing some baby proofing.
Is it ok if I link to your blog, to this post… I am doing a series next week on hotel staying with lil ones I would love also to link to the bring your own pnp sheet post. my blog is at http://baby-to-go.blogspot.com/ and i can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

We just rented baby gear and toys from Toddlers Travels in San Diego as well, and they were wonderful. The bags of toys were HUGE and wonderfully free of talking/music-playing/electronic beeping annoyances. I don't think there was a single toy with an on/off switch – but our kids were still entranced.
Thanks for the tips Shelly!
Shelly Rivoli says:
You bet! I agree the toys were nice and quiet, but effective. Same was true with our box from L.A. Baby Gear Rental, actually! Guess these people know what they're doing.

128 & 130 Grant Avenue
In the heart of downtown Santa Fe, adjacent to the Georgia O'Keefe museum, 128-130 Grant sits on almost one third of an acre and is comprised of two office buildings, lawn and patio, and parking area. 130 Grant, the structure that prominently faces Grant Avenue, has been designated as a contribution structure'' by HDRB. Many of its architectural details are preserved from 1890, when it was constructed as the private residence of a prominent Santa Fe family. About 2,500 square feet, plus 1000 square feet of habitable basement, and a charming portal overlooking a lawn, the two-story building currently houses five tenants with a monthly rent roll of $5,150. The larger (11,000 sq ft) back building has three stories and houses 27 tenants with a rent roll of $18,500. Office sizes range from 100 sq. ft. to 750 sq. ft. Attached to 130, 128 Grant is a newer building (completed in 1978) with 25 tenants in executive suites in approximately 11,000 sq. ft., three-story building with elevator.

Every new PC comes with software to keep your computer safe from spyware, viruses and other attempts to wreck it. The trouble is, after a few weeks or months, your free trial will run out and you'll be told to cough up a subscription if you want you PC to remain protected. Well, you don't, thanks to a little known offering from Microsoft. It regularly scans your computer for trouble. It'll check downloads and email attachment too. The only flaw: its frequent updates have to be applied manually, but it'll prompt you to check and that's a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Karen's Replicator 3.6.8
It's easy to forget to back-up important files, but it's also easy to end up copying a mass of temporary files you don't need. Karen Kenworthy's easy to use Replicator gives you control over precisely what you copy over to an external hard drive or network storage, and will quietly run in the background so you can get on with other things. It will only copy files that have changed since the last back-up run, and you can set a regular schedule for its checks - we have it look for changes every 15 minutes, for example. Karen's Replicator isn't quite as fluid as Mac OS X's Time Machine utility, but it comes darn close.

iTunes, WTF??
<-- for stinking up your list with that Jobsian PoS.
(Apart from that it's a pretty good selection of freeware. But you really should have had Picasa in there somewhere.)
sorry, all cred lost now. this is the biggest POS ive ever used. seriously, its got so many issues its untrue. its only good on a mac. ive seen less harmful viruses than this shit.
iTunes? Surely some mistake
iTunes = RealPlayer for the 2000's
It's not free software, it's malware.
dont forget
Paint.NET, Notepad++, 7ZIP, Firefox, Comodo Firewall?
And WTF with iTunes. Id rather boil my scrotum than use itunes.
Shocked that you didn't bother to mention http://ninite.com/
You can install most of these apps, in one single go, without the fear of missing "install Yahoo Toolbar?" prompts...
I would also question why any sane person that's locked into Itunes would want that horrid crap when something like MediaMonkey is SO much better...

A Commercial Offering from The Dustin Nulf Team
(please click on links for more detailed information)
Acreage: Roughly 0.44 acres
Ask Price: $1,743,119
Location: Lawrenceville, a neighborhood within the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Summary of Lawrenceville: Lawrenceville is an up-and-coming neighborhood within Pittsburgh's City limits. Home of the recently revised UPMC Children's Hospital (a sprawling 1,500,000sq/ft hospital employing over 3000 medical professionals), Lawrenceville has seen a recent shift in demographics and a massive upswing in Real Estate value with the added jobs and increased income and retail spending brought on by the completion of the Hospital.
Summary of Pittsburgh: The City of Pittsburgh has been labeled one of America's best places to live numerous times in the last 5 years. With Pittsburgh's median income almost having doubled since 2000 and an increase in average single-family home value of almost 14% in the last two years, it's easy to see why Pittsburgh has been on the radars of residential and commercial investors worldwide.
More Details on 4619 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201
Zoning: These 4 parcels are Zoned LNC (Light Neighborhood Commercial) and have many potential uses.
Uses: These parcels are ideal for a number of potential uses including;
Residential development: The recent "Doughboy Square" units sold PRESALE for between $325,000 and $400,000 each!
Medical Facility: With Children's Hospital right up the hill, this would be an ideal location for a neighborhood care facility or a competing medical care facility.
Gas Station/Convenience Store: commuting to and from the city creates heavy traffic on Butler Street. With only 2 very small (and hardly clean) gas stations in Lawrenceville, this makes a great location for competing fuel and convenience store business.
Drugstore: You can't find a much better location than this! Check out the competing business list.
Fast-food Restaurant: Your nearest competition is Wendy's which is located on a perfect parcel on the corner of 40th and Butler and a (very small) Subway restaurant which seats only about 25 customers and occupies a tiny storefront on the corner near Wendy's parking lot.
Bank: There are only 2 competing banks located between 40th Street and 50th Street in Lawrenceville and neither one of them occupy the amount of space as this parcel of land. Great location for a competing bank or even a bank looking to expand!

December 21, 2012: The End of the World? Experts Think Not
Here's what scholars and scientists are saying about the Dec. 21, 2012, Doomsday prophesies, the end of the Mayan calendar and their potential impact.
Don't make any rash decisions: Experts say 12/21/12 is going to be just another typical winter solstice.
Killer solar flares aren't expected. Another planet isn't on a collision course with ours. And, despite the plans for "end of days" parties in Northeast Georgia and elsewhere, the Mayan "long count calendar" ending on this date has no real significance – they had to end it somewhere!
What is All the Fuss About?
There are a number of theories and predictions that call for earth's demise on Dec. 21, 2012. They include:
- The ending of the Mayan calendar. The Mayans, according to a Sarasota Patch article, kept three separate calendars. The "long calendar" ends on Dec. 21. Some say this constitutes a Doomsday prediction; many do not.
- Nostradamus. That famed French seer from the 1500s has been credited with predicting several end-of-the-world scenarios that some believe will take place in 2012. The website December212012.com points to the potential sparking of World War III on this date.
- The collision of Earth and the supposed planet Nibiru. This supposed space catastrophe was initially predicted to strike in 2003. The planet in question was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to NASA. When the world didn't end in 2003, the date was moved to December 2012 for the deadly collision with earth.
What are the Experts Saying?
The intrigue created by multiple end-of-the-world predictions has made many scholars and even NASA stand up to make statements debunking the claims. From professors at Tampa Bay's own New College to the scientific minds at NASA, they're all saying the same thing: Go ahead and pay that mortgage bill and wrap those holiday presents.
In regard to the ending of the Mayan calendar, New College's Gabrielle Vail says this, according to Sarasota Patch:
There are many misconceptions about the Mayans. If you look at their calendar alone, the Mayans kept three calendars. The one that has prompted the end of the world predictions was their "long count calendar" — a 5,125 year calendar. The calendar began August 11, 3114 B.C. and ends Dec. 21, 2012.
She said the Mayans wrote about dates beyond Dec. 21, 2012 "well, well into the future, trillions of years." They also wrote about dates before the 5,125 year calendar began.
Here's what NASA has to say about all of the collective Doomsday prophesies:
The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.
Why do you think people get so caught up in end-of-the-world prophesies? Tell us in the comments below.

The lord oh mighty above all things created the heavens and the earth and in the bible it tells us to live as we live our lives normally all the way until the last second and to not believe any one because only God knows the exact date. Every one needs to calm down and trust in God and to stop trying to take things into there own hands.
7:11 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
Says the guy that really thinks god exists, do you still believe in Santa clause too. Get over it the theory that their is a man living beyon earth and created everything with his own hands is physically impossible if he really did exist why would things like cancer exist and why wpuldnt he show himself. God was created so people had something to get them through the rough times he is a religous belief or ( hope)
1:25 am on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Hey Jake, good news man....God does exist! He loves you even though you don't believe in Him. I pray that someday in the near future you will open your heart and accept Him in your life. All the bad things, like Cancer, Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, affect us humans, because we have gone against nature and tampered with what we eat. Its all human related. God did not mean it to be like this. He loves us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to be the perfect sacrifice in order for us to have the hope of Salvation and Eternal Life. Wouldn't you like to live forever? You can and its simple all you have to do is Believe,Trust and Obey Him.
7:52 am on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
I know God is real and he does exists!!! What man that you know, could have created all these things that you see everyday??? The sun, the moon, water, trees, air, humans, or better yet, the 1st 2 humans. If you can show me a man that can do that, then just maybe you can change my mind!!!
8:19 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Jake, if your premise is true, that God was created just so we could get through the rough times, what about those of us who worship and love and adore Him in the great times, and we know His love and feel His presence? He's an everyday God, not someone we turn to when times are hard. But you would ONLY know this if you come over to this side, otherwise you'll stay in darkness over there. You'll only ever know that God exists if you take that leap of faith and invite Him in. I dare say that after then, He has some proving to do to you then. And He does. That's why those of us to know Him still worship Him even when things look bad: because He's shown Himself faithful to us even amid tragedies like cancer, desease, hurt, and pain. He's here. He's not mad at you Jake. Take the jump to get to know Him. He loves you so much He created you a human. He could have made you a roach.
7:23 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
I will pray for you Jake. You will need it. God bless you.
7:53 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
I along with you ^ will also pray for the atheist jake.

I can assure you that those innocent life's that have been lost are now in God's care and in a better a safer place than here on Earth.Remember God has given mankind free will and eventhough at times it may seem as though God should have prevented this terrible massacre, it is not in our place to question God's actions. I do feel alot of sorrow for all the families that have lost their children, my sympathy goes to all the families of these children. Their great hope is that they will be united again in the Future, provided that they accept and obey God, regardless of what religious group they may belong to.

12:56 am on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
It is funny how it appears that atheists are so quick to jam all this non sense about how they believe God isn't real because of physical limitations and innocent people dying...it is almost funny in a sense because obviously if there is a God ( and I firmly believe there is) He would not be subject to explaining Hinself to sinful humans, nor be limited by the same physical restrictions as us. Also, if you do not want people "cramming" their religion, then simply ignore them and live your life. It seems atheism is the modern troll of society.
1:54 am on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Josh, its is ignorance of who God really is, ignorance of the love He has for us and what His promise of Salvation and Eternal Life, once we Believe in Him and in His Son Jesus Christ, who died for us over 2000 years ago, so that we can have eternal life. It is ignorance and non acceptance of this truth that make people become athiests. Also, they are an instrument of the Prince of Darknes,Satan, than roams the world and is more amore evident as we come closer to the return of Jesus Christ. You don't have to be a religious leader or fanatic to see all the evil, sickness, poverty, crime, war, etc. that surround us. Likewise, it is not fair to blame God for all of this!
4:20 am on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Dont blame God for what a human did God did not tell that man to kill those children maybe if the gosh darn government had more tabs on where there fucking weapons went or who got them maybe this shit wouldnt have happen u dont have to believe in God but dont blame him for what man did and created if Those were my kids I would be blaming the school for not having better secruity shit people get on my nerves stop pointing fingers oh n another thing when you abouta crash or when you have kids youll hope there is some kind of God because believing in a God is having hope its praying that your loved one will make it and its not to be taken for granted we only get one life dont judge ppl on their beliefs because your judging them when all they are doing is hoping for something better

@Jake! Wow,I feel Sorry for you. You living your life not believing in God,What is your belief? I tell you this; God does exist. He is living God! I challenge you to open your heart to him and pray for your family and yourself,asked him to humble your heart. Let me tell you this,I was studying for an test,overwhelmed by it,so I prayed asking God for guidance and concentration asking him to bless me to pass. I did! I failed in one subject the others I did good on,prayer works. There's power in prayer and there is and always will be a God. So,for you I pray for people like you everyday, for you are lost in the world, you letting whatever happens in the world destroy your faith. Like I said ,I challenge you to believe and trust in him and you see how amazing he is. God will make you liar. He's in control!!!
6:38 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
I believe in nothing I don't waste my time praying for tests if that's the reason you believe in god then you my friend are a moron if god did even exist he would have time to make you pass a test if he did no one would gain education and just skate through life and I go on through my life and believe the worl was created by science probably the big bang theory because that's the only reasonable explanation and because evolution is PROVEN but creating a world with your hands is highly impossible

Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: that they may receive guidance.
And We have made the heavens as a canopy well-guarded: Yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)!
It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along each in its rounded course.
We granted not to any man before thee permanent life (here): if then thou shouldst die would they live permanently?
Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial: to Us must ye return.

I do believe in god.I only have one question from those who don't believe in god,heaven and hell.except
God who has the power to create soil, mountains, oceans.humans lifes have a purpose.for the sake of
God just question from yourself, why you came to this world? Just living, and dieing? So what's your difference from the animals?

1:25 pm on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Wow. Can't we all just get along :)
I don't believe that December 21 will be the end of the world. I think that is too predictable. But, I do think that a lot of people believe it is the end - with that being said, everyone should be be careful. Obviously there are some nut cases out there. I think that everyone should be thankful for each and every day we are given, they truly are a gift.
2:42 pm on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
For all the non believers on here I pray GOD has mercy on your soul when judgement day comes!

Nothing at all truly exists. Things only exist because we believe they exist. Things are only what they are because we named them so. Money only has value because we believe it does. Monarchs only had power because we believed they did. I could say I have a dog named goober, well goober only exists if you believe he does. His name is goober because I named him, he is a dog because i called him a dog. The same goes with anything else nothing and nobody truely exist in this world everyting is just a perception. I dont have a dog named goober by the way, but in your mind since you believed it, that dog existed for that few moments until i told you otherwise.
6:28 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Everything exists retard money has value because we make it have value your dog goober never existed because you don't have him. And dogs are dogs because we named them dogs if we change the name of the animal it still exists it just has a different name now that's proposterous that you would say anything you said you should lea e this site now and don't come back because of how stupid you sound. We name things so they are able to be described or talked about if I named a skateboard sneezteble it would still exist it would just have a different name MY POINT IS EVERYTHING EXISTS AND YOUR REFERING TO EVERYTHING AS HUMANS IMAGINATING THEM, AM I IMAGINING THAT MY PHONE IS BEING HELD IF IT DIDN'T EXIST BUT IN MY MIND THEN ITWOULD BE ABLE TO DISAPEAR AT TBE BLINK OF AN EYE

I Think jake needs God in his live and really change his aspect to look things in life. The bible says that people are lost because of ignorance. Saying that you don't believe in God is an act of ignorance. God loves you acept him and he will change your life completely.

Its one of the other god and science don't work together science has been proven and is clearly real and on the other hand there's a man living in heaven, a world where you live on forever with all dead people, but really you just rot in the ground and god didn't use science that contadicts the theory of creationism ( if it were real) so I ask once again for one proveable fact that he exists , if he did why wouldnt he show himself
6:21 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
If there was a god why would he allow the 22 children to be shot in the sandy hop shooting, why would allow such disatsters that destroy his people HE IS JUST LIKE AN ADULT SANTA CLAUS, all he is is something made up for people to belief in so life and dying later in life has a purpose he was created by a man that was Jewish why would you follow a bible that is based off a Jewish person they believe in a different god which leads to my other point if god existed why would everyone believe in different gods and religons if god was real everyone would follow him. I could make up my own religion and do you think scientology is real its just as real as god or Santa or the Easter bunny HOPE TO GET YOU THROUGH LIFE
Ian Ferguson

Look, this is my philosophy. How can there be a God who is almighty and loving when there is so much suffering to innocent people in the world? Also, isn't it ironic that the bible was written during a time where the most powerful people were straight, white, men? Christians preach hate towards Homosexuals and the Bible favors white men. Also, the Bible alludes towards witches (fictional supernatural creatures) and tells fictional stories (Moses did not actually part the sea and Noah's Ark did not exist). So why does the "god" that this book that was written 3000 years ago and paraphrased several times by white male "educated" Europeans about really exist? And I hate to break it to the guy saying that things exist only because we believe it so, but that is complete bullshit. Look, I can say I have a dog, which is true, but let's pretend I dont. I say I have a dog, that would be a lie. Im pretending. If I really do have a dog, it exists. I can see it, I can touch it, I can play with it, etc. It exists, it is real. Imaginary things like monsters for example are fictional and are made up. Anyway, the world isn't ending, simple as that.

The Commanderette softball team (4-7) is coming off a forgettable week where the bats were lacking in three losses. Games scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday were rained out, while Washington County took a 13-2 loss to Elizabethtown (6-7) and a 3-2 loss at Campbellsville (4-9) on Tuesday and Friday, respectively.
The most recent, though, was a 3-0 loss to Pulaski County (8-6-1) at Idle Hour Park on Monday night.
Washington County vs. Burgin Score: 15-0 Washington County When: Monday, April 15 Where: Idle Hour Park Key players: WCHS - Chris Warner Game highlights: Washington County baseball (9-8) made easy work of Burgin (0-3) on Monday night, run-ruling the Bulldogs in five innings, 15-0.
The Commanders did a lot of their damage in the first inning, hanging seven runs on two Burgin pitchers to put the game well in hand right away.
Dennis George Contributing Writer
There will be a new Fifth Region Class A baseball champion this season. Three time defending Washington County was sent to the sidelines Monday night when they were eliminated by Green County 5-3 at Idle Hour Park.
The visitors were able to secure the win despite being without the services of ace pitcher Brennen Milby. The Ohio State signee was sidelined with a sore arm, and Commander coach Derek Schuler says his team responded to the news well.
One of the longest losing streaks in the history of St. Catharine College softball, a 10 game skid, happily came to an end last week for Holly Smith's team. And the losing streak was replaced by a four-game winning streak as the Patriots record went to 16-18 overall.
The Patriots began the week with four Mid-South Conference losses to Cumberland (Tenn.) and Campbellsville before sweeping visiting Union College in a non-conference doubleheader. They finished the week with a sweep at conference rival Rio Grande to go 4-4 for the week.
It's the year of the Cardinal. As I sit here with 12.9 seconds left in the national title game and watch Peyton Siva sink a pair of free throws to put away Michigan for Louisville's third championship in school history, that's all you can really say. This was UofL's year and there wasn't much that was going to stop them.
There's no university hotter right now, honestly. They just locked up a long coveted men's basketball title and the women's team may be right behind them, depending on Tuesday's result after press time.
In his first year (2002) as baseball coach at St. Catharine College, Luther Bramblett's Patriots won 26 games. In the 11 years since then, including the current campaign, the Bat Pats have won at least 30 games each season.
That streak continued as Bramblett's bunch won four of six games last week to improve to 30-13. A win over Berea on Tuesday was followed by a doubleheader sweep Wednesday at IU-Southeast. The Bat Pats the traveled to # 25 Lindsey Wilson College for a three game Mid-South Conference last weekend where they won one of three games.
Washington County vs. Nelson County Score: 11-1 Washington County When: Monday, April 8 Where: Idle Hour Park Key players: WCHS - Mercedes Cowherd, Hannah Coulter NCHS - Charessa Coomes. Game highlights: The Washington County softball team (4-4) only had one game on the week, but it was an impressive week nonetheless, as Nelson County (0-6) left Idle Hour Park with an 11-1 defeat at the hands of the Commanderettes.
The St. Catharine College men and women participated in the Berea College Invitational track meet March 23. Blake Jones' women's team finished seventh in a nine-team field with 23.5 points while the men were eighth out of nine teams with 19 points.
"We would have had many more points but were missing five people," explained Jones.
As many games this season have gone, the Patriots trip to Georgetown included two games which they had a good chance of winning, only to have that opportunity slip away. Such was the case Wednesday when the Tigers held on for a 10-8 win and game one and then pulled away late in the second game for a 5-1 win in Mid-South Conference action.

Following the lead of the Billings weather office and am updating to remove the mention of thunderstorms over southwest Montana for this evening but will continue to mention them over north central Montana. Also went more with partly cloudy skies over the north in line with current observations and extended the mention of precipitation a little farther west over the plains in line with latest radar charts. Finally followed the lead of the Missoula weather office and lowered the chances of precipitation slightly over the far western zones for this evening. Blank && .AVIATION... Updated 2310Z. VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. An upper level trough of low pressure will begin to push east allowing high pressure to build into the area. This will bring increasing stability and lighter winds to the region. Any lingering showers and thunderstorms will diminish early this evening followed by clearing skies. Langlieb && .HYDROLOGY... Point flood warnings remain in effect for the Big Sandy Creek near Havre and Clear Creek near Chinook. Rain from recent thunderstorms will keep water levels high in many creeks and streams. Drier weather this weekend should result in gradually decreasing levels into early next week. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 510 PM MDT Fri Jun 14 2013/ This Afternoon Through Sunday Evening...Upper level trof located over central Alberta continues to make steady eastward movement thru MT this aftn. Trof axis is currently located from just east of Havre to near White Sulphur Springs with scattered showers and a few small, short-lived thunderstorms occurring along the axis. A second area of showers is also occurring along the Rocky Mtn Front and over portions of southwest MT, some of which will push into central MT this aftn. None of this activity is expected to become particularly strong, but a few of the thunderstorms may produce some pea-sized hail due to lower freezing levels aloft. Precipitation will gradually taper off from west to east this evening as the upper trof tracks into ern MT. Forecast still on track for high pressure ridge to build into the Northern Rockies starting tomorrow and continuing to strengthen through the weekend, resulting in mostly fair skies and gradually warming temperatures for Sat/Sun. Some forecast models continue to indicate that a weak disturbance and small area of moisture may move into the western side of the ridge on Sun aftn, sparking a few showers and thunderstorms along the Rocky Mtn Front and over the southwest mountains. So have kept a chance for precip in those areas but rest of central and Hiline counties should remain dry with highs reaching the mid to upper 70s. Waranauskas Sunday night through Friday...Models continue to be in good agreement, but the overall progression of next week`s low pressure system from the Pacific Ocean is about 24 hours slower than the previous runs. Will address the changes below. An upper level ridge of high pressure will linger over Montana through Monday night. The airmass will warm to between 5 and 10 degrees above seasonal averages, but weak steering winds aloft will keep the threat for isolated thunderstorm activity over the higher terrain. The aforementioned weather system will then deepen and move onto the Pacific coast on Tuesday. The increasingly moist and unstable southwesterly flow aloft ahead of the system will bring an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly to the western half of Montana. The flow aloft will also pump warmer air into the area, causing temperatures to warm to between 10 and 15 degrees above normal. As the system moves into the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday, the flow aloft will become more southerly, unstable, and diffluent. This, in turn, will bring a much better chance for showers and thunderstorms to the area, especially over north central/central Montana. Forecast CAPE values increase to between 1000 and 2000 J/kg Wednesday afternoon/evening, which hints at the potential for a round of strong to possibly severe thunderstorms. Would like to see run-to-run consistency with this feature before mentioning severe potential in Hazardous Weather Outlook. Forecast models differ with exact movement of this system beyond Wednesday. GFS model moves the system into southern Alberta and Saskatchewan by Friday, while the ECMWF model keeps the system over the Pacific Northwest. The GEM is slow with movement of the system (moving it over Montana), but it weakens the system. With this discrepancy, have kept the chance for showers/thunderstorms near climatology and will look to refine the details when the models come into better agreement. Regardless, the models all bring a cold front through the area Wednesday night, which should cool temperatures back to between 5 and 10 degrees below normal for Thursday through Friday and bring && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Speaking Out! Reckless cuts for kids pass House
In previous issues of Speaking Out! we warned that the House had been cooking up some truly reckless cuts to programs that serve kids. Last week the House passed those cuts, calling for hundreds of billions of dollars slashed in the programs that help children learn, stay safe and grow up healthy. The House is playing games, but the consequences for kids are very serious.
House plays political games with children's needs
Fortunately, the legislation will die either in the Senate or by the president's veto. Still, House policymakers have contemplated a very big sacrifice of children's quality of life, and we find that disturbing. Food stamps, Medicaid and more are on the chopping block.
House leaders are probably counting on election year politics to prevent their budget from passing. Knowing they could cut without consequences, they plan to return to their home districts during campaign season to stump on how tough they were on spending. Even some House members have said as much, calling the bill "election-year grandstanding."
Child advocates must oppose legislation that would see kids suffer, and Voices could not be more strongly against the type that passed on a 218-199 vote Thursday. In fact, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi noted the opposition of Voices and its allies in her remarks on the bill, saying, "Because this legislation will have devastating impact, it's opposed by numerous organizations: from Easter Seals, the National Women's Law Center, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Voices for America's Children."
To her credit, Pelosi, in the same speech, made children paramount in her budget thinking: "When people ask me what are the three most important issues facing the Congress, I always say the same thing: 'our children, our children, our children,' " she said.
An attack on the institutions American children depend on
We've detailed the severe cuts repeatedly in this newsletter, but now that the bill has passed it's important to really think about what the House has endorsed. It has called for an unprecedented dismantling of the safety net, largely to protect defense spending and tax cuts for millionaires.
The House passed $36 billion in cuts to food stamps, meaning 2 million Americans would lose food assistance. We're particularly concerned about these cuts because children are half of all food stamp recipients. That means around 22 million children would see reduced or eliminated benefits. And since getting food stamps also enrolls kids in things like free and reduced-price lunch, some 280,000 children stand to lose that, too.
Another $1.7 billion in support for daycare, adoption, protective services and other programs would be eliminated through the repeal of the Social Services Block Grant. It would also effectively exclude immigrants from collecting the Child Tax Credit, which helps working families with the costs of raising children. Subsidies from the health reform law that would help low-income families afford coverage would also lose out.
These cuts are beyond cruel; some Catholic bishops have gone so far as to say they are immoral. Tell your friends to subscribe to this newsletter for information on how policy affects kids and what you can do about it.

Hi, I'm planning to travel abroad and carry my FT-817 with me accompaigned with one of my batteries to do some random portable operation. I own both NiMH (3800 mAh) and LiPo (R/C type 2200 mAh, being this last much more compact, therefore I believe much easier to travel with and be allowed to. After reading some info on the web I'm not really sure whether I'll be allowed to carry them aboard or not. I doubt between putting one of them on the checked baggage or carrying it together with me on the cabin. I rode the baggage experience very low temperatures, thus putting the LiPo on risk of chemical damages. I believe the authorities allow carrying "normal" batteries for personal uses (cameras, laptop...). Well Laptop do have more capacity anyhow for sure! But maybe if they see the spare battery they'll keep it with them... So I prefer to ask you: have you ever experienced any trouble when carrying LiPo or similar stuff on a plane? Any suggestion? Should I contact the air company first? Thanks for any clue, 73 Ignacio EA2BD |
Post by F5VGL on 30th May 2012 at 18:38 |

AFC Playoff Scenarios
A look at the various AFC playoff scenarios after all of Week 16 games in the conference are in the books.
A look at the various AFC playoff scenarios after all of Week 16 games in the conference are in the books.
As the Steelers get set to face the rival Baltimore Ravens with first place in the AFC North up for grabs, a closer look at the Ravens offensive line proves that their collective play has been an integral part of the Ravens reemergence after last year's very disappointing season.
As the Steelers get set to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday with first place on the line in the AFC North, let's take a look at what the Ravens have been up to the past 8 games, a stretch that has seen them win 7 games and rise to the top of the Wild Card standings alongside Indianapolis.
The Steelers have started out the 2008 season with a 5-1 road record, but in order to improve upon that mark, they'll have to beat a Ravens team that they've had next to no success against away from home.
The race for the AFC North remains intensely competitive, as the Steelers and Ravens both dispatched of NFC East teams on Sunday to stay within one game of each other atop the AFC North standings.
The Steelers knocked off another rival when they defeated the Cowboys 20-13 in a clash of football's most storied teams. The Steelers struggled offensively for most of the day, but made just enough plays with the aid of the defense and special teams to steal a late victory.
An all encompassing look at the Pittsburgh Steelers tendencies on 3rd and short yardage situations in 2008. It seemed to me that we threw the ball all the time on 3rd and short, but I wasn't entirely positive. Time to find out.
No time to feel too good about yourself if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team hosts the rival Cincinnati Bengals this Thursday night in a rivalry game.

I was excited to receive my new cookbook. The first copy was lost and the company immediately and without hesitation replaced it.
I actually had the opportunity to see G. Garvin in action at the Ebony picnic in Dallas, Texas. My son was overcome by the Oreo Cookie Cheesecake and of course I had to make the purchase. I can't wait to try some of the other recipes.
I am very pleased with my product and will make my future online purchases from Cooking.com.

On November 14, the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice and the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission released long-awaited guidance on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The FCPA was enacted in 1977 and contains both anti-bribery and accounting provisions aimed at eliminating corruption within, and increasing the transparency of, United States corporations operating abroad. The key component of the FCPA is a prohibition against bribing foreign officials and a requirement that companies keep accurate and transparent books and records when dealing with foreign entities. According to the Department of Justice and the SEC, the new guide aims to help public companies better understand the FCPA in order to prevent violations of the FCPA, which in turn will better protect investors in those companies.
Although significant legal ambiguities still remain within the FCPA, the new guide offers some additional insights into the Department of Justice's and SEC's views of the statutory requirements of the FCPA, such as what they view as a de minimus gift to a foreign official. The guide also provides actual examples of enforcement actions and, more importantly, instances where enforcement actions were never brought because of a company's self-reporting and robust compliance measures.
It is important to note that the guide represents the Department of Justice's and SEC's views and interpretations of the FCPA, which is invaluable in predicting how they will enforce and prosecute FCPA violations, but the guide is in no way binding on the courts. Indeed, in certain instances courts have rejected some of the views expressed therein.
A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by the Criminal Division of the US Department of Justice and the Enforcement Division of the US Securities and Exchange Commission is available here.
Topics: Compliance, DOJ, FCPA, FCPA Resource Guide, SEC
Published In: Administrative Law Updates, Commercial Law & Contracts Updates, Criminal Law Updates, International Law & Trade Updates, Securities Law Updates
DISCLAIMER: Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations.
