So I went into the palaestra of Taureas and there I found a number of persons, most of whom I knew, but not all. My visit was unexpected, and no sooner did they see me entering than they saluted me from afar on all sides; and Chaerephon, who is a kind of madman, started up and ran to me, seizing my hand, and saying, How did you escape, Socrates?What? Socrates de wisest man on Earth loitering in the sports field with old pederasts and impersonating a medical doctor to get into talk and seduce a beautiful boy? In the end, Alitos got so mad at Socrates for having seduced his son that took the risk of sueing Socrates for corrupting the youth (should Socrates been found innocent, Alitos would have been severely punished). The 500 man jury condemned Socrates to death. I would have cast my vote with the majority.
You see, I replied, that here I am.
There was a report, he said, that the engagement was very severe, and that many of our acquaintance had fallen.
That, I replied, was not far from the truth.
I suppose, he said, that you were present.
I was.
I took the place which he assigned to me, and I told them the news from the army, and answered their several enquiries.
Then, in my turn, began to make enquiries about matters at home - about the state of philosophy, and about any new young boys. I asked whether any of them were remarkable for wisdom or beauty, or both. Critias, glancing at the door, invited my attention to some boys who were coming in, and talking noisily to one another, followed by a crowd. Of the beauties, Socrates, he said, I fancy that you will soon be able to form a judgment. For those who are just entering are the advanced guard of the great beauty, as he is thought to be, of the day, and he is likely to be not far off himself. ...at that moment, when I saw him coming in, I confess that I was quite astonished at his beauty and stature; all the world seemed to be enamoured of him; amazement and confusion reigned when he entered; and a troop of lovers followed him. That grown-up men like ourselves should have been affected in this way was not surprising, but I observed that there was the same feeling among the boys; all of them, down to the very least child, turned and looked at him, as if he had been a statue.
Chaerephon called me and said: What do you think of him, Socrates? Has he not a beautiful face?
Most beautiful, I said.
But you would think nothing of his face, he replied, if you could see his naked form: he is absolutely perfect.
...Call Charmides, and tell him that I want him to come and see a physician about the illness of which he spoke to me the day before yesterday. Then again addressing me, he added: He has been complaining lately of having a headache when he rises in the morning: now why should you not make him believe that you know a cure for the headache?
Why not, I said; but will he come?

Pederast Ring
17 comments:

It seems the default settings for humanity include pederasty (as well as a host of other disgusting behaviors-human sacrifice, infanticide, cannibalism...at least the Athenians weren't known for those.) Socrates was notable for pointing out that a much better way to admire the beauty of teenage boys was Platonically (don't know why it's called that, as the same dialogue was reported by Xenophon)-no clue if he walked the talk, or if this novel idea took off after his death.
Here's another weird pederast-philosopher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakim_Bey - 7:07 AM
- J said...
Athenians and Greeks in general were hard into infanticide aka exposition, which was the favored population control method (so effective that soon there were almost no Athenians nor Spartans).
Regarding the Platonic paka paka about non-physical love, it is all designed to confuse the parents of the boys sent to Plato's academy, and to seduce the boys themselves.
Socrates arriving home from the Army went directly to the palestra to look for ... Platonic beauty? Nonsense. He was starved for sex.
By the way, having been in similar situation, returning from miluim, the first days are spent in clearing up family problems, work problems, etc. No decent person runs to the poker club or the gay bar. - 10:04 AM
- B said...
I knew about the Spartans, but not the Athenians. I doubt the Platonic thing was a sham-everybody in Athens was a pederast, there was no need to fool anyone-Socrates' charge of corrupting the yoofs was moral, not sexual.
Socrates' service as a hoplite was a bit more intense than your milium. - 4:46 PM
- J said...
My friend B,
I think that yes, there was a need for the ring of pederasts led by Socrates to fool the Athenian public with that philosophy schtick. Athenians tolerated pederasty if it was done "tastefully" (that is the argument of the Symposium of Plato) and hiddden under the cover of pedagogy and military couching. Socrates had the bad luck of seducing and corrupting the son of that troublemaker Alitos, who was so incensed that assumed the considerable risk of bringing Socrates before a jury. I think "corruption" was meant not only in the political or religious sense (Athenians didnt take their religion thus seriously) but sexual. - 7:33 AM
- B said...
Now that I'm in the uncomfortable position of defending creepy dead Greek feigeles, I might as well ride it out. If ALL that Socrates was was a creepy Greek feigele, we wouldn't know of him. His words and reputation would not have endured through the ages. Even in his time, he was known for being a morally upright and hard man-one of his best friends was Xenophon, he was renowned for conducting a fighting retreat during a disastrous Athenian rout, for refusing to join in mob madness during the trial of the generals and during the tyranny of the thirty after Athenian defeat, though it meant risking his life, and for his principled acceptance of his sentence rather than seeking to save his life through escape. Furthermore, there must have been something in his philosophy to make it last through the ages and inspire such a lineage. I mean, three generations and you get Aristotle, Alexander's tutor. That's not to be scoffed at. Then, too, there are many Talmudic figures and utterances which lend themselves to various conjecture-Reish Lakesh and Rabbi Yonatan, all the "women are vessels full of impurities" stuff, yet we look for value there-and find it! Why not with Socrates? - 7:40 PM
- B said...
Another thing-the Athenians OCCASIONALLY would go apeshit and start taking their public religion and politics very seriously. Witness how Alcibiades originally got in trouble (which wound up costing them,) or the numerous public trials detailed in Xenophon's Hellenica (which I think you would enjoy immensely.) When I look at Athenian politics, nothing comes to mind more than the decade following the French Revolution. The same hysteria, purges, flashes of brilliance, constant external aggression and instability. Democracy is truly political methamphetamines.
- J said...
About Socrates's reputation in Athens, it may not have been very good if five hundred randomly selected neighbors sentenced him to death.
Philosophy can be used to confuse and seduce young boys, as the Torah can be used for the same purpose (so I heard about the Rav Moti Alon) and the New Testament (in the Catholic Church). But of course that is not all the story, it has an independent worth and beauty regardless its misuse. - 6:27 AM
- B said...
500 randomly selected Athenians sentenced all kinds of people to death-they were fucking bonkers. Look at the trial of the admirals-Athens, in dire straits, fighting for its survival at the conclusion of a 25 year long war against Sparta backed by Persia wins a naval battle, a storm prevents them from recovering the bodies of the Spartan dead, and 500 randomly selected citizens vote to sentence the six admirals in charge to death. Only Socrates' vote of "against" prevents them from executing the sentence, so they retry the next day sans Socrates, and execute them. Then everybody thinks better of it. Or, on the eve of the Sicilian expedition, Alkibiades and his friends run around knocking the peckers off divine statues, so they get together and sentence him to death in absentia, while he's fighting a crucial battle in a war with the fate of Athens in the balance. So, on one hand this kind of mass madness was prevalent, on the other, Socrates probably won a lot of enemies by not joining in.
There doesn't seem to have been any real philosophy before Socrates-he was their Moshe. - 6:35 AM
- J said...
Apparently (I am in uncertain grounds in this) Judaism has similar attitude toward homosexuality as classical Greeks in that there is no definition of homosexual identity. The concept does not exist, what exists is homosexual sex (which is allowed or normal among Greeks, but punishable among Hebrews). Homosexuality seems to be considered sex in the wrong place and the wrong timing - but there is no such thing as a homosexual.
- J said...
Greek sexual and general behavior was detestable, but that certainly is not the whole story. Socrates's circle of pederasts created Western thought - Plato invented the concept that this world is not the real one, we are like shades in a cave, that the real world of pure forms is out there, which is the basis of Christianity and the Islam.
- B said...
Now, how could they have done this if they were pederasts? Note that the rest of Socrates' character basically involves being a beinoni in the Chasidic sense, a man of self denial, deep thought, disregard for sensuality, etc. Certainly the behavior of his students in the Apology doesn't seem to be that of guys who had been getting their shit pushed in ("serves him right!") From what I know, pederasts are weak and/or predatory. Socrates seems to be neither. Plato, OTOH, has always skeeved me out. Perhaps the above episode is him putting words into Socrates' mouth?
The Jewish/Greek view of homosexuality as something people do, not what they are, seems to be true for many but not all homos. I know good yeshive bochurim who went off the derech because of it. They still love Judaic thought, quote Rashi with affection, hang out with frum friends, but...now, if it was JUST something you do, like eating shrimp, well, shit, I've given up eating treif and it's not that hard when compared to the benefits, though I'm no askete. There is more involved here, I think. - 7:56 AM
- Anonymous said...
For what it' worth, pederasty was popular among the Jews and Muslims of Andalusian Spain, at least the higher class. There's a good chunk of poetry hinting at it. And the story of David and Jonathan was taken as justification, but Greek literature could not have had a small role. This was one of the Christians' beefs with Judios and Moras. Judio was even an insult that meant "fag" basically.
- Anonymous said...
- J said...
"Now, how could they have done this if they were pederasts?"
How? Just like everybody else. I remember having read somewhere that their IQ distribution is normal, so among the perverts there must be more than a few geniuses.
"...pederasts are weak and/or predatory."
That is a modern psychological myth.
But no, you'll not put me in the position of defending their intellectual capabilities or aknowledging their martial qualities. I'll stay in the upper moral ground. - 8:06 PM
- B said...
Meh. All parties involved have been dead for 100 generations. What moral high ground? All I'm saying is, where are the pedophile geniuses of the 20th century?
- J said...
No, my friend. You'll not maneuver me into the position of uncloseting anyone, not even in the improbable situation of having heard rumors of the existence of twisted geniuses like Alan Turing.
I know more about Socrates, Platon and their friends than about my neighbor.They excelled in Athens, which according to Galton was the highest IQ population of all the times. They are dead, but we have not advanced much from the ideas that they discovered, let me repeat, that this valley of tears is NOT the real world and that a world of pure ideas and forms exists hidden by our imperfect reality. - 12:28 PM
- B said...
I have not heard this Galton thing. I am not sure why a population which sprung from typical Mediterranean stock (seafarers, fishermen and farmers) would be the highest-IQ population ever.
Turing was a homosexual, not a pedophile, as was (apparently) Newton. Big difference. - 5:15 PM

Doing good is cited as the principle that unites humanity. Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds today when he declared that everyone was redeemed through Jesus, including atheists. During his homily at Wednesday Mass in Rome, Francis emphasized the importance of "doing good" as a principle that unites all humanity, and a "culture of encounter" to support peace. Continue reading

When Chilean Ambassador Vincente S nchez, the Chair of the Intergovernmental Committee on the Convention on Biological Diversity (ICCBD), closed the second session on Friday, 1 July 1994, exhausted delegates emerged from the conference rooms at UNEP Headquarters in Nairobi feeling that while the meeting was not an unconditional success, debate had moved forward and the foundation was in place for the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The ICCBD was established by the UNEP Governing Council in May 1993 to prepare for the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties and ensure an early and effective operation of the Convention once it enters into force. During the two-week session, which took place in Nairobi from 20 June - 1 July 1994, delegates undertook a number of preparations for the first meeting of the COP, which is scheduled to take place in Nassau, The Bahamas, from 28 November - 9 December 1994. Among the issues discussed were: institutional, legal and procedural matters; scientific and technical matters; and matters relating to the financial mechanism. Although the delegates went home feeling that progress had been made, many understood that they had also postponed negotiation on very pertinent issues, including the need for a protocol on biosafety, ownership of and access to ex situ genetic resources, farmers' rights, and the financial mechanism. Nevertheless, due in part to the ability of the Chairs of the two working groups and the contact groups in moving the debate forward, a number of recommendations have been made to the first COP and potential paralysis of the deliberations, such as that faced during the first meeting of the ICCBD, was averted.

HR functionality in most ERP systems is usually limited and extremely payroll centered. SAP is not a 'Human Resources Software Company'...they're in the database business. They don't care about OSHA, FMLA, EEO-1, etc. Most HRIS products on the market today can integrate with SAP, Oracle, SQL, and offer the depth of functionality that is only available in a 'Best of Breeds' approach.

Host David Thiel demonstrates a commercially available micro-adjustable miter gauge that increases the accuracy and fit of miter cuts on the table saw.
More in Home Improvement
A stock miter gauge doesn't always fit tightly into the miter slot. A slight left or right shift of the miter gauge inside the slot during a cut can be a cause of imperfect miters. Also, if you pull the miter gauge back to make a deep cut, the miter gauge may lift up out of the slot. This can also cause imperfect miters. Some stock miter gauges only have three preset angles. The markings are set far apart, making it difficult to achieve a precise angle.

On Positive Jobs Report, Nasdaq Hits 11-Year High
The better-than-expected jobs numbers released today, sent the markets into positive territory they hadn't seen in years.
The Nasdaq Composite rose to an 11-year high, while the Dow hit its highest reading in almost four years. The S&P gained 1.4 percent, marking its best start to a new year since 1987.
Here's how one obviously giddy investor framed it for Bloomberg:
"'Spectacular,' Ron Florance, managing director of investment strategy for Wells Fargo Private Bank, said in a telephone interview from Phoenix. His firm manages $169 billion. 'It's a very, very strong jobs number. It shows that companies have confidence that they see global demand growth through their products and services. That will support risk assets.'"
And here's how a more sober economist put it to The Wall Street Journal:
"'The data seem to show the economy is mending a bit faster than it was a year or two years ago,' said David Resler, chief economic adviser for Nomura Securities."
CNN Money works through the numbers:
"The rally pushed pushed the Dow, up more than 5% in 2012, to its highest level since May 2008. The Nasdaq, up more than 11% for the year, climbed to its highest level since December 2000. The S&P 500 has gained almost 7% this year, and finished at a six-month high."

Some heavy heavy blues adorn this enticing cd from American artist Eli Cook. The opener Death Rattle kicks in with a mighty force and some splendidly filthy harmonica courtesy of the wonderfully named Wavorly Milor, and following, Better Man with its Bo Diddly Rhythm shows off Cook s masterful slide guitar playing.
The frantic pace subsides with Please, Please and Cook s baritone voice sounds deeper than Keb Mo! A pleasing, soothing blues ballad that will charm you as it catches you off guard.
So a mixture of beguiling acoustic blues through to Muddy Water heaviness adorn this album-- a combination of poignancy and toughness using the blues idiom as a positive moral force, take a listen!

I recently purchased the Pro version of the FLV converter and it does not work. It worked ok for a few hours then stopped working.
These are the versions of the software that I am using.
This is the message that I get now when I try to convert anything when I click on "Convert" from within the Youtube downloader software.
The convert button on the bottom right of the FLV converter software does not work at all now.
I am using the software on an Intel quad core computer with Microsoft windows XP home.
I tried uninstalling the software and downloading it again from the URL that I was given when purchasing. It still does not work.
Does anyone know what has happened here and how to resolve it, or alternatively could I just have a refund of my money ?

Newspaper publishes list of persons considered category A traitors by Breivik
During the most recent police questioning of Anders Behring Breivik, the police handed Breivik a piece of paper and asked if he could make a list of alternative targets that he considered before the 7/22 attacks, one of Breivik's lawyers, Odd Ivar Grøn, told Verdens Gang (VG) in an interview.
VG writes that Breivik mentioned a total of about thirty possible targets that he planned to attack with bombs or weapons; this included a list of twelve Norwegians he considers to be traitors.
According to the paper, the organization, Knights Templar, which Breivik says he represents, has as its targets both buildings and people it considers traitors. The lists of people considered traitors are reportedly divided in three categories: A, B, and C.
VG has, after having contacted everyone that Breivik listed as category A traitors, published these names:
- Jonas Gahr Støre (Foreign Minister, Labor)
- Gro Harlem Brundtland (former Prime Minster, Labor)
- Trond Giske (Minister of Business, Labor)
- Anniken Huitfeldt (Minister of Culture, Labor)
- Raymond Johansen (Party Secretary, Labor)
- Kåre Willoch (former Prime Minster, Conservative)
- Kjell Magne Bondevik (former Prime Minister, Christian People's Party)
- Knut Wollebæk (former Foreign Minister, Christian People's Party)
- Trine Skei Grande (current leader of Leftist Party)
- Kari Helene Partapuoli (leader of the Anti-racist Center)
- Torry Pedersen (Chief Editor, VG)
- Hilde Haugsgjerd (Chief Editor, Aftenposten)
- Several organisations: Amnesty International, the Central Church Council (Mellomkirkelig råd) and fifteen unnamed organizations/businesses referred to as the asylum lobby.
According to VG, Breivik has stated that it would be preferrable to focus on one political party due to limited resources. Former Prime Minister, Kjell Magne Bondevik, and former Foreign Minister, Knut Wollebæk, from the Christian People's Party (KrF) are, according to VG, on the list of category A traitors because that government supported the NATO invasion of Serbia.
Google translation of right hand column [edited for clarity]:
Here is the list of Breivik's terror targets
Such is Breivik's death list:
Breivik's alleged organization, Knights Templar, has according to the terrorist not only buildings objectives, but also people they regard as traitors and betrayers. These death lists are divided into categories, named A, B, and C, and are, according to Breivik's logic legitimate targets.
Here's the A-list:
Jonas Gahr Støre, or "Judas Gal [Crazy] Støre" as Brevik says he is called in conservative circles. (A Google search shows that several online debaters on Norwegian discussion forums uses this description, note by the editor.)
Gro Harlem Brundtland. Is according to Breivik not a traitor now, but has a historical significance that means that she will always be on such a list.
Three other Labor politicians are mentioned specifically: Minister of business Trond Giske and Culture minister Anniken Huitfeldt, both of which have been AUF leaders and party secretary Raymond Johansen.
Kare Willoch. Breivik has reservations about having the former Conservative prime minister on the list because it is desirable to concentrate on one party because of limited resources.
Kjell Magne Bondevik (KrF). Because he during his time as prime minister supported the invasion of Serbia. Breivik has said that the establishment of the Knights Templar were initiated because NATO "prevented" that Muslims were deported from the country [Serbia].
Knut Wollebæk (KrF). Bondevik's Foreign Minister on the list for the same reason.
Current Liberal leader Trine Skei Grande is also included.
The same is Kari Helene Partapuoli, head of the Anti-Racist Center.
VG chief editor Torry Pedersen, Aftenposten-chief [editor] Hilde Haugsgjerd and NRK [Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation] as an organization is mentioned. Breivik accuses Norwegian media of being spokesmen for the cultural marxists.
In addition, he mentions several non-governmental organizations as category A-traitors: Amnesty International, Central Council on Ecumenical [Mellomkirkelig råd] and the "asylum lobby." The latter is Breivik's own bag-designation of 15 unnamed organizations that want to "colonize Norway with Muslims."
Kari Helene Partapuoli is on the list. She says she's used to that right-wing uses terms such as traitor and betrayor about her. "I have received emails from people who have asked whether my family has a background from NS [Nasjonal Samling, a fascist party in Norway during WW2]. Thus, it is not surprising that even this man [Breivik] has said this."
PS! VG has been in contact with, and informed everyone mentioned in Breivik's list of "category A-traitors…."

ESCANABA - The Escanaba School Board and community was updated on the district's 2012-13 budget during a special public hearing Monday. The district is currently anticipating an overall decrease in revenue and an increase in expenditures, leaving it with a projected $585,151 shortfall it plans to make up for with monies from the general fund.
Escanaba Business Manager Sue Furney presented those in attendance with updated figures on the 2012-13 budget.
According to Furney, the district anticipates seeing an increase in 2012-13 general fund local revenues of approximately $20,621, but a loss in state revenues of approximately $92,181 - most directly because of a projected loss of students for next school year, which impacts state aid.
The district is also anticipating a loss in federal revenues of approximately $109,665.
"We're looking at a net decrease in revenues from 2011-12 to 2012-13 of $172,155," explained Furney.
Escanaba's total expenditures for the coming school year, however, are expected to increase by $276,416 from the current year.
A large reason for the increase is due to higher costs in basic classroom expenses of $570,641.
"We had four kindergarten teachers that we were adding due to the all-day kindergarten program, and there are other changes in retirement and health care," Furney said, of the increase.
Costs for pupil services, which includes attendance, guidance, speech services, and nurses, is down $99,582, while transportation is down $84,010.
"That's due to reduced kindergarten runs, and adjustments due to retirement and health care," Furney explained, of the transportation cost reductions.
Expenditures related to operations also is reduced by $65,276 due to moving the noon-hour supervisor and one custodial position to the hot lunch program.
Instructional support costs are expected to be down $58,101, mostly due to grant adjustments, while central support and community services are also down.
Escanaba expects seeing an increase of expenditures in general administration and business services, mostly due to retirement and health care costs. Its expenditures will also increase in school administration costs by $29,324, due to retirement and health care costs, as well as a staff changing due to a shift from the middle school to junior high school.
Overall, Furney said the district anticipates a decrease in revenue and increase in expenditures for next year.
"We have revenues under expenditures of $585,151," she explained.
With Escanaba estimating to have $843,437 in their general fund as of June 30, 2012, the district would use general fund money to make up for this shortfall. After covering the $585,151 shortfall with general fund money, this would leave an approximate $258,286 balance in the fund next year - on June 30, 2013.
The board will continue looking at the budget at its regular board meeting Monday, June 18, at 6 p.m. in the Middle School Courtyard Room.

Hi guys, I have a 3d model with multiple animations files. I already checked the link here : http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/Character-Animation.html. When I import my 10 FBX files, I have my main model and my 9 animations, but each animations got their own mesh, which is really heavy for nothing. Is there a way to have a single model with 9 animations files? I really need to have my animations in seperate files. Thanks!
(comments are locked)
If you're doing manual export to fbx, you could deselect your mesh and export only skeleton+animation when exporting animations from your modelling tool. If you're doing automated export (or you don't want to do manual selection every time) you could write an AssetPostprocessor which deletes mesh from your models.

While Wall Street experts are forecasting the stock market to end 2012 with double-digit gains, they also largely agree that the second half of the year will be more challenging than the first.
According to an exclusive CNNMoney survey of 30 investment strategists and money managers, the S&P 500 will finish the year just above 1,400, giving it a 4% rise over the next six months, which of course pales in comparison to the 8% increase logged during the first half of the year.
Experts said the gains will be tempered as jittery investors face a growing number of challenges, especially a dimming outlook in Europe and uncertainty over the United States' political and fiscal future.
"Sentiment is fairly negative, and investors are still very cautious, so there will be a lot of ups and downs in the stock market along the way," said Gary Thayer, chief macro strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
Nearly half of those surveyed highlighted Europe's ongoing debt crisis as the market's biggest headwind.
While leaders will continue to make an effort to keep the region intact, the solutions will only be temporary, as they have been since Europe's debt crisis took center stage roughly two years ago.
"They'll keep coming up with different band-aid proposals that will kick the can further down the road," said Donald Selkin, chief market strategist at National Securities. "Stocks will go up, then down, and just keep muddling along."
While support from the world's central banks and other authorities will provide temporary boosts to the market, investors will continue to view those as incremental steps, still thirsting for a more stable eurozone.
"With Europe, it's been two steps forward and one step back for the past couple of years," said Wells Fargo's Thayer. "They've made progress, but there's a lot further to go."
Experts say investors will also be skittish leading up to the U.S. presidential elections in 2012, causing volatile trading that could be even worse than the sharp gyrations suffered in the aftermath of the debt ceiling debacle in 2011.

Courting season for Parise
The Philadelphia Inquirer Blog - Flyers Report: Broad Street Bull
Courting season for Parise
Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Flyers will be among numerous teams interested in talking with New Jersey star left winger Zach Parise when he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Understandably, Parise was in no mood to address his status after the Kings won the Stanley Cup by blasting his Devils, 6-1, on Monday.
"I'm not talking about that," he told reporters in Los Angeles.
Parise had just one goal in the Finals; the Devils want to re-sign him.
"I think Zach is a big thing the organization has to take care of first, no doubt about that," goaltender Marty Brodeur said. "They need to try to lock him in and lure him into staying. He's a franchise player and a guy the fans love. As a captain, he's a great leader and he did a great job first year as a captain to bring a team counted out early in the season to what we accomplished."
* * *
Former Flyer Simon Gagne was one of the first Kings to skate around the ice with the Stanley Cup. It was a greatest snapshot of his underrated career.
A few minutes later, in the sweetest moment of their careers, Mike Richards handed the Cup to his best friend, Jeff Carter.
Richards on the Flyers organization: "They taught me how to be a winner."
He then said this about the Kings: "This is the closest team I've ever been a part of."

Roy Hampton opened Sunday school with reading the 23 Psalms and led in prayer.
Lee Hampton taught the 23 chapter of Matthew for our lesson.
Everyone enjoyed discussing the chapter and questions on things they didn't understand.
The lesson was on Jesus lamenting over Jerusalem. We omitted questions and answers. We were running behind. I guess the time change was a little confusing. Roy Hampton led the offering prayer.
The congregation sang three songs then Pastor Joe Lafferty preached at 11 o'clock. Susie Sisco sang.
Roy Hampton preached on the 16th chapter of Revelations then Joe Lafferty finished the chapter and gave the invitation and altar call. Sue Thomas dismissed the service.
Evening service started at 6:00. We had a good crowd.
We had a few songs. Ronnie Thomas was there to sing bass for us. It sure seemed good to be in service with him. He and Sue Thomas don't get to come much because of Ronnie's mom, Rhoda.
A girls trio sang. Then Wilma Hampton, Clara Lafferty and Susie Sisco sang. When singing a cappella it's rough to sing without music, we didn't do too bad.
Joe Lafferty preached on Ephesians 4th chapter and 17th verse for the sermon of the evening on the Walk of Christ as a believer, and new man in Jesus Christ, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
We sang for an invitational song.
We had a few testimonies and were dismissed in prayer by Ronnie Thomas.
Until next time, God bless.
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you Friday the 12th of November we have our regular singing and a benefit for Nicole Hampton. Come and join us for a special singing.

The key barrier to energy efficiency is related to individuals knowledge, motivation and ability to optimise their energy use. For example for every tonne of carbon saved through energy efficiency measures the economy typically benefits by 150.
A home loses heat continually whenever it is warmer inside than outside. You cannot stop this happening but you can slow it down and that will reduce your fuel bills, make you more comfortable and benefit the environment.
The following measures require a greater initial investment but they will pay for themselves in the future.
1. Insulation involves adding extra material to the structure of a building to keep the heat in better ~ rather like putting on an extra layer of clothing:
2. Heating systems and controls
Modern central heating systems are much more energy efficient than older types. Replacing a 15 year old boiler could save you 20% on your fuel bills or 32% if a condensing boiler is installed.
With the right heating controls such as room and boiler thermostats, timer/programmer and thermostatic radiator valves you could cut your fuel bills by as much as 40%.
3. Energy efficient appliances
The European Union has introduced an energy efficiency labelling scheme that applies to fridges, fridge/freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers and washer dryers. The labels range from A (highly efficient) to G (inefficient). Wherever possible you should opt for the most efficient appliance available within your budget; any additional cost should be recovered in reduced electricity consumption.
If your appliances are over 10 years old, upgrading to an A-rated energy efficient model could save you the following on your electricity bill per year:
Some of the above improvements can be carried out on a do-it-yourself basis. However there are important reasons why a qualified contractor should be used. Some heating appliances such as gas fires and coal fires use air from the room theyre in to burn. It is very important that insulation does not totally seal these rooms and adequate ventilation is provided. Ventilation will also help to avoid condensation. Plumbing, electrical and gas fitting are skilled work and only suitably qualified people should be used.

HP Pavilion Dv5t, A Stylish Apperance (1)
HP Pavilion Dv5t, A Stylish Apperance (1)
Jul 03HP is a known company for rolling out stylish laptops and a very good example would have to be the Pavilion dv5t which comes with a subtly glimmering lid and a surprisingly bright display. When it came out it had a base price of $699 and was offered as standard with a fast 7,200 rpm hard drive. For more money it could be fitted with a Blu-ray drive, turning it into a great multimedia system.
It manages to look a lot like the company's premium Envy models while staying on a budget. To keep the price tag down HP decided to use plastic instead of metal, but even so it manages to look and feel quite solid while the metallic print on top makes you think that this Pavilion dv5 is made from metal.
A champagne hue was used for the palm rest and the chassis, while the keyboard adopts a black finish. We are dealing with an island-style keyboard with plenty of space (also black) between the keys. Underneath this roomy keyboard is where HP has installed a big touchpad that measures 3.9 x 2.6 inches. This touchpad also works as a large clickable mouse button as it isn't a regular touchpad with left and right mouse buttons. There are no dedicated multimedia keys since these have been built into the keyboard top row, while above there's just one button for powering on the laptop.
The HP Pavilion dv5t tips the scales at 5.2 pounds which is the average size for a laptop of this size. We should mention that it was the first notebook to be fitted with a 14.5-inch screen which made it easier to carry around than the regular laptops with a 15.6-inch display. However, it is 1.2 inches thick which is a little bit more than the usual laptop, but we still like how it looks.
HP has installed on the dv5t a chiclet-style, backlit keyboard which not only looks very nice but it also offers a high level of comfort. It consist of soft keys that feel nice when you touch them, but we do have to mention that the right Shift key has been shrunken but you probably won't notice this while you are typing.
As most of you know, HP and touchpads haven't been getting along that well in the last few years and this is the case with the one on this Pavilion dv5t as it's quite frustrating to use, being sluggish for no apparent reason from time to time, while sometimes it's overly sensitive. The good part is that it offers support for multitouch gestures but even so we were disappointed with the quality of this touchpad. Fortunately, this issue has been mostly solved in recent HP laptops.

Christie's New York to Offer Extraordinary Collection of Unique Daguerreotypes
Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey, Rome. T. de la concorde. Ent. Inter., 1842. Daguerreotype. Estimate: $45,000-65,000. Photo: Christie's Images Ltd 2010.
presents A Historic Photographic Grand Tour: Important Daguerreotypes by Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey in an exclusive sale this fall. The auction, featuring 74 daguerreotype photographs, hails from a private collector and will be offered at Christies New York on October 7, 2010. The sale is expected to achieve in excess of $2 million.
For decades, the name of Girault de Prangey had been a source of intrigue to scholars and collectors of early photography. A naturally gifted artist, de Prangey was born into a patrician French family in 1804. He applied to daguerreotypes the same passion and expertise he held for art and specifically Islamic architecture eventually becoming one of the earliest masters of the medium. The daguerreotype was the first practical photographic process. Employing mercury vapors and asphaltum, it fixed the optical image from a camera obscura on a highly polished, silver-coated copper plate. De Prangeys first photographs date from 1841 as a result of experimentation with Louis Daguerres invention on the grounds of his villa in Courcelles-Val-dEsnoms.
He partook in the Grand Tour throughout Greece and Italy along with other 18th and 19th century artists and intellectuals, documenting traces of classical Greek and Roman culture from architectural relics and historical locations. He traveled throughout the Mediterranean including Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine and Egypt and captured, what are often viewed as static subjects, as lively scenes.
De Prangey recognized how Daguerres invention could very effectively serve his own program of the scientific analysis and documentation of architecture, said Philippe Garner, Christies International Head of Photographs. Though more than half a century were to pass before the daguerreotype plates that he brought back from this epic journey were to become sufficiently known, they established him as a seminal pioneering figure within the history of photography.
Highlights from the sale include:
Rome. Gracostasos- Face S.E., 1842 (estimate: $40,000-50,000) depicting three columns as part of an architectural ruin
Denderah, 1844 (estimate $60,000-9000) an image of a wall of hieroglyphics with acute details.
Rome. Prise de la colonne de Trajaane, 1842 (estimate: $45,000-65,000), a panorama of Rome, lush with flora.
Rome. T.dela concorde. Ent. Inter., 1842 (estimate: $45,000-65,000) the top of a colonnade.
De Prangeys technique was unique and noted by experts and art historians for the perfect balance of art and science. He also notably hand-cut the silver-coated, copper plates, and set them vertically or horizontally depending on the subject.
This is Christies third sale from the archive of the artist. The previous auctions took place in Christies London, in May 2003 and May 2004, achieving $2.24 million and $456,244, respectively. Christies holds the world record for a daguerreotype by De Prangey selling Athènes. 1842. T.[emple] de J.[upiter] Olympien. Pris de l'Est., 1842 at $916,126. The pioneer historian of photography, Helmut Gernsheim first purchased some de Prangey plates in the 1950s that became part of his collection acquired by the University of Texas in Austin in 1966. Over twenty years later, André Jammes added some de Prangey daguerreotypes to his prestigious collection. Since the first two sales of de Prangey daguerrotypes in 2003 and 2004 at Christies they have been included in important daguerreotype exhibitions and collections at such institutions as the Musée d'Orsay, Musée Carnavalet, the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

| What went wrong here?????
About 3 weeks ago I have posted a thread that I have manifested my parents meeting my boy-friend. My parents live in Europe and finally managed to visit for 2 weeks. I manifested that they are going to meet this guy (boy-friend) and also visualized it very clearly. At that moment I was NOT dating anyone. I had awesome vibration and joy and positive feeling. I started doing it somewhere back in Feb when they decided they are coming to visit. All in terms of manifesting went really smooth and well. I was not seeing anyone in the moment but knew it could change any moment. Today I dropped them at the airport to fly back home. There was NO any BF in my life whom they could meet. Because I am simply not involved with anyone. They met one of my close GF and a collegue from work but not a BF. This trip was a huge deal for them and they are not living in an other state, thus I see them very very really. If they were only 200 miles away I could always say it is next visit nest month but they are not. I was fine with manifesting and visualizing the meeting. But what went wrong here????????? Why this enjoable manifesting visualisation process has not brought to a boy friend figure whom they were suppose to meet? BUT the mition was NOT accoplished.

Sorry it didn't work out for you, may I make a suggestion, Floridagal? It may more sense to manifest meeting the ideal boyfriend for you first, then manifest a meeting between him and your parents. Manifesting or not, trying to get a boyfriend that fast and just to meet your parents when they visit is-not-healthy.... Unless you take time to know him well, how do you know how your relationship will turn out? A good way to describe what mighthave happened is this example; imagine trying to manifest a purebred dog to give as a present to your friend on her birthday and that this dog will also win 1st place in a dog show tournament... Manifesting a purebred dog to give to your friend on her birthday would already take up alot of planning and practice, but to also have this dog win 1st place in a dog show tournament? One idea would be to get or manifest the dog first, then work with manifesting it winning first place in a tournament. This is just my opinion, Floridagal, maybe you may just want to keep trying till it happens.. Good luck.... | |

I wonder if your problem is that you're relying on the actions of others for your intention to come to fruition. In other words, you're relying on your parents meeting someone. Also, consider what it is that you really visualized. Visualising isn't just about seeing the images in your mind's eye but about emotionally investing in achieving something. Perhaps while you had a vivid image in your mind of your parents physically meeting your boyfriend face-to-face you may actually have been investing your emotions in simply experiencing the feeling of finding the boyfriend of your dreams, and sharing that experience with your parents. That can still happen. Hope this helps. |

If you've been following along with me this summer, you know I am enthralled with the tomato and strawberry flavor pairing. Earlier, I created Fresh Strawberry-Tomato Dessert Sauce to accompany Heavenly Parmesan Sour Cream Pound Cake. It was a surprise hit. I have to explore at least a couple more strawberry-tomato dishes before the summer season is over.
While pondering what to cook next and flagging from the 90+ degree heat wave that hit Seattle this week, the inevitable happened. I opened the oh-so-wonderfully-cold frig and saw, at eye level, a large bowl of strawberries alongside a large bowl of grape tomatoes, both of which were intended for salad.

PORTALES—Eastern New Mexico University's new Safe Ride program, created by the student government (ASENMU), is a transportation service offered to ENMU students.
"The idea was modeled from the Alcohol Prevention Task Force and Texas A&M's Texas Carpool. This program is unique to our institution because of our size and resources," Stephen Frost, ASENMU president, said.
Safe Ride is run completely by students. It is available 24 hours a day, free and confidential. There is both a male and female employee at all times. The student employee picks up the student and will transport them safely home in the Portales vicinity, taking a minimal amount of information.
"The ultimate goal is to save lives and prevent heartaches. When a student is at a party and has a couple drinks they are over the legal limit. When they drive home, there are penalties, whether it is a DWI, or someone's life. The consequences are just not worth it. With this program students can avoid them," Frost said.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), in 2005, 2.8 million college students drove while under the influence of alcohol.
"This last semester we lost several students to alcohol-related deaths. It is a problem that affects us all; ASENMU had the opportunity to do something about it, so we took action," Frost said.
The program is not specifically for intoxicated students, but for any student in an unsafe situation that needs a ride home.
For more information call, Stephen Frost at 505.562.2473.

Click image to watch Will Smith, Jaden Smith, DJ Jazzy Jeff & Alfonso Ribeiro rap medley
During their visit to the UK, Will and Jaden Smith decided to visit The Graham Norton Show in preparation for their upcoming film After Earth. However, the talk of films was hardly the main enjoyment of the night. The pair were joined by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso Ribeiro to give viewers a rather special rap medley. Songs such as Jaden's "Hello" and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song were performed, along with a dance-off to Tom Jones' classic "It's Not Unusual" and The Sugarhill Gang's "Jump On It."
Entertainment at its finest.

VIP Personal Training Website Launch!
Over the past month, we've been working to get the VIP Personal Training website in tip-top shape for launch (and owner Michael Wigington has been getting US in shape as well!) After a lot of hard work (all around), we're proud to introduce VIP Personal Training to the world ... I'm sure Michael will impress you as much as he impressed us!
PLAYLIST: Tony Romanello & the Black Jackets
We've known Tony Romanello for so long here at the Bean that he's practically family. This fall he's back in a big way with his new band the Black Jackets, and their new EP "Pleased to Meet Us". It's been on heavy rotation here at the office, and is highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of driving modern rock. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy from www.tonyromanello.com today!
Registration Please?
We don't always think about it, but printing requires an extremely high degree of precision. Process color printing involves printing thousands and thousands of tiny pink, blue, yellow and black dots ... all precisely patterned and aligned, to form a full-color image. If those four colors aren't lined up properly, we say they are "out of registration".
Hot Off the Press!
Adrian just pulled the last of the new Museum of Osteology giraffe shirts off the press and they look awesome! We're about to load them on the truck and deliver them to the gift shop, so make sure you pick one up this weekend!
SNEAK PEEK: Color and Style
Here's a sneak peek at the killer coloring style our illustrator came up with for a big project we're working on. Very excited!
PLAYLIST: The Coronas
Around here music is as important as caffeine, so I thought we might start sharing a bit of what gets us going each day. On repeat already today is "Heroes or Ghosts" by The Coronas. The Coronas are an Irish rock and indie band that actually beat out both Snow Patrol and U2 for best Irish Album at the 2010 Meteor Awards.
