NFC South Week 1 Preview: Saints Struggle Against 'Skins
By Erik Sabol
Cold, Hard Football Facts NFC South analyst
A new season means a new race to the postseason in football's most competitive division.
In case you missed it, check out my NFC South over/under projections, and watch for these five things in Week 1:
1. Win-loss records be damned, Payton's Saints always struggle against the Redskins. In six seasons with New Orleans, Drew Brees has tilted the dynamics of offensive football. Statistically, he's one of the greatest volume passers of any era.
He's a surgeon – a butcher – and he's been punching holes through defenses with unmatched, stoic consistency for a long time. Just about every team has suffocated under New Orleans' rain of deep passes and tough running.
Except one.
Washington, no matter the quality of coach or personnel, has defied the Saints since Sean Payton revived the franchise. In three games against the Redskins, swathed in New Orleans's black and gold, Brees has compiled a 79.9 passer rating – a career low against any team he has faced more than twice.
In 2006, he posted a season-low 59.9 rating in a loss to the 5-11 Redskins. Two years later, it was a 69.9 rating and 216 yards passing – another mathematical low point to Brees's season. The next season, it took a fluke fumble and a 53-yard touchdown in the final 90 seconds to secure New Orleans's first victory over Washington since 2003.
2. Dirk Koetter brings an air of versatility to Atlanta's dynamic offense. This upcoming season with the Falcons will mark Koetter's second stint as an offensive coordinator, but his first with a legitimate pool of talent from which to draw.
The Falcons were good-to-middling in every offensive Quality Stat in 2011. They ranked no better than seventh and no worse than fifteenth in any category, and bled 'above average' all the way to the postseason. But after being blanked offensively in the playoffs, Atlanta hired Koetter to accelerate the scoring.
Judging by his history, Koetter's a fan of simple concepts: tight, two-back sets, and spread formations loaded with more speed than Robert Downey Jr.
Lightning scatback Jacquizz Rodgers looks to feature prominently in screens and short passes, and – if Koetter's time in Jacksonville is any indication – receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White will be among the league leaders in yards after catch. If Atlanta's lucky, the pair will run right through the playoff wall and inspire the franchise's first dose of postseason progress since 2004.
3. Cam Newton consumes the blitz. By measure of the Quality Stats, the Carolina Panthers were an above-average passing team in 2011. They ranked thirteenth or better in every throwing metric, and first-round golden child Cam Newton redefined success for NFL rookies. He produced the most mind-blowing rookie résumé this side of Dan Marino and – since the Cold, Hard Football Facts debunked the 'sophomore slump' – Newton poses a decade-long threat to every team he faces.
Especially if they continue to blitz him.
Newton's athleticism inspired a plethora of big plays a season ago, but it also coerced defenses into straight-out pass-rushing assaults. Despite protection from the league's second-most dominant set of Offensive Hogs, he was pressured 208 times – second only to Eli Manning. But his freakshow size and agility made him one of football's most difficult takedowns, and against the blitz, Newton averaged nine yards per pass, threw 12 touchdowns, and posted a remarkable 108.2 passer rating.
4. It's been 20 years since a new coach earned an opening-day victory in Tampa Bay. Raheem Morris's brief stint as commander in chief started with a 34-21 shellacking to a playoff-bound Cowboys squad. Seven years prior, Jon Gruden kicked off his Super Bowl campaign with a 26-20 overtime loss to division-rival New Orleans. Tony Dungy started his coaching career with the worst opening-day loss in franchise history – a 34-3 decimation courtesy of Brett Favre and the eventual World-Champion Packers.
Follow the trail of breadcrumbs back to 1992, when newly-appointed Sam Wyche coached Vinny Testaverde, Reggie Cobb, and a group of creamsicle misfits to a 23-7 win over the Phoenix Cardinals – the first of a meager five victories that season. Wyche and Ray Perkins are the only first-year head coaches in franchise history to lead the Buccaneers to opening-day victories, but quick glory doesn't mean everything: the two coaches combined for a glowing 42-81 record after seven-and-a-half seasons.
A victory against the Panthers means rookie coach Greg Schiano is either bucking a trend or contributing to some sour history in Tampa Bay.
5. A season ago, for the first time ever, every team in the South lost their opening game. Week 1 means exceptionally little in the panoramic perspective of an entire season. The Saints lost a shootout to the Packers, but would finish the season as the league's most dominating team.
The Falcons were dismantled by a fully-charged Chicago Bears team, then went on to rob those Bears of a Wildcard spot in the playoffs. The Panthers misfired against the Cardinals, but evolved into the NFL's most feared spoiler by season's end. The Buccaneers dropped a close one to the visiting Lions before completely collapsing at the season's midpoint.
The first game of the year rarely defines a team. There are no trends, no tendencies in Week 1. It's a clean slate – completely unpredictable – until the clay hardens, the affinities stick, and the Cold, Hard Football Facts guide us to another postseason.

It is all contained in one file. It can read policy and logs for: Checkpoint FW1 (in odumper.csv / logexport format), Netscreen ScreenOS (in get config / syslog format), and Cisco ASA (show run / syslog format). It uses both inclusive and exclusive CIDR and text filters, permitting you to split large policies into smaller ones for virutalization at the same time as removing unused connectivity. It supports policy to log association, object translation, rulebase reordering and simplification, rule moves, and duplicate matching automatically. It allows you to seamlessly move rules to where you need them. 'print' mode creates a spreadsheet for your audit needs with one command.

Now that's something to have some fun: Primotechnology published instructions on how to play Halflife2 Singleplayer with the portal gun enabled ingame. Hopefully someone will figure out a way to do multiplayer games with the portal gun.
The steps from their site:
- First off, backup up your entire Portal directory in a safe place. It's the folder marked 'portal' in ..\Steam\steamapps\(your_username)\. We, nor Valve, take any responsibility in the unlikely event of you hosing your game files. Worse comes to worse though, you could always just redownload.
- Next, download and install, if you haven't already, GCFScape. This handy program will allow you to access the cached game files for any Source-powered game, in addition to several other Steam games you may have downloaded.
- Once that's done, browse to the directory ..\Steam\steamapps\. There, you'll see all the available GCF archives. We'll start with Half-Life 2.
- Open the GCF marked 'half-life 2 content.gcf' You'll see a directory tree in the left pane. Click the box to the left of the folder marked 'hl2' to see the directory listing contained within it. Then, right-click 'maps,' select 'Extract' and extract the entire folder into the directory \Steam\steamapps\the_great_bundini\portal\portal. This will merge it with the existing Portal map folder.
- Do the same with the 'scenes' folder
- Fire up Steam and run Portal. When it's done doing its thing, open up the developer console with '~' (you may need to enable it under your keyboard options).
- At the console, type 'maps *' to list all the available maps. Now that you've imported the Half-Life 2 maps, this will be a fairly lengthy list and some of the names, like citadel and canals, should seem familiar.
- Type 'map' and then the map name to open that map. For instance, 'map d1_canals_01'
- When the map is done loading, pull up the console again and enable cheats by entering 'sv_cheats 1'
- o give yourself all weapons, including the portal gun, enter 'impulse 101'
- Depending on how far you got in Portal, you may need to upgrade the portal gun to fire both portals. Enter 'upgrade_portalgun' to do so
- Have phun!Go lay waste to some alien scum with the power of portals!

By Michael D. Lemonick via Climate Central
When 97 percent of Greenland's ice experienced at least some melting in July 2012, scientists wondered if it was a one-time phenomenon. Now a new study in Geophysical Research Letters indicates it is a sign of things to come and by 2025, there is a 50-50 chance of it happening annually.
Extent of surface melt over Greenland's ice sheet on July 8, 2012 (left) and July 12, 2012. In just a few days, the melting had dramatically accelerated and an estimated 97 percent of the ice sheet surface had thawed. Credit: NASA.
It's not clear what the effects of such melting will be: the majority of Greenland's ice loss, which has accelerated significantly over the past decade, comes from glaciers shedding more ice into the sea, and moving faster toward the sea, not from melting snow and ice at higher elevations of the ice sheet.
Nevertheless, such widespread melting indicates an overall warming in the region that could threaten the ice more generally, adding significantly to the threat of sea level rise.
The 2025 projection is based on two factors, according to lead author Dan McGrath, a glaciologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The first is a series of temperature measurements going back to 1950 at the Summit research station, at the highest — and on average, the coldest — point on the Greenland ice sheet. The mercury has been rising more or less steadily there for that entire time, with the fastest increase, of about .22° F per year, coming since 1992. "That's six times faster than the global average," McGrath said in an interview.
The highest parts of the ice sheet still remain below the freezing mark virtually all the time, but when unusual weather conditions set in — an especially warm air mass, or as in the case of the 2012 melting, an influx of clouds just thin enough to let sunlight through but thick enough to block heat from escaping — the thermometer can sneak above 32°F. "Only an hour above freezing is enough to start the surface melting," McGrath said.
Another factor that went into the analysis involved what's known as the equilibrium line — the altitude where the snow is neither piling up year to year nor shrinking. Over the past 20 years or so, that transition zone has been gradually moving up the ice sheet by about 115 feet every year, on average— another indication that temperatures on the frozen island are warming.

Dear friends,
Today, our Government is using contemporary communication technology to make its transport system more robust. Defence research of our nation suggests using nanotechnology to provide solution to environmental problems, especially in waste management, water conservation and solar power generation. Acclaimed cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead had warned: We won't have a society if we destroy the environment, therefore, sources of non-conventional energy, like wind and sun, must be harnessed with caution.
Of late, our Government has invested in research and information management for environment sector as part of its global commitment to environmental conservation. It understands that economic development will be sustainable only if it is pursued in a manner which protects the environment. We will have to attain an environmental integrity to have sustainable development, and key to this aim should be to bring a better quality of life…without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt, as expressed by acclaimed biologist E. O. Wilson.
In our capacity, we, being at the helm of accountancy profession, have taken several green initiatives. At times, I just want to agree with what a sportsperson had said: …every time I have some moment on seashore, or in the mountains, or sometimes in a quiet forest, I think this is why the environment has to be preserved. We have to preserve it to save ourselves. Our profession understands its social responsibility, let me proclaim. We are taking measures for ecological conservation. E-diary project that cuts on consumption of paper is one of such measures. We aim to become a green institution as early as possible.
Before I update you with some of the significant developments vis-à-vis our accountancy profession over the last one month, I would like to place on record my sincere congratulations and wishes for Shri Pranab Mukherjee on becoming the President of our nation. He has really been a friend, philosopher and guide to our profession, extending all possible support and help to the profession during his tenure as Union Finance Minister of India.

National Conventions in Vasai, Ludhiana, Hyderabad, Ghaziabad and Jaipur:
Job Fair for Small- & Medium-Sized Firms and Enterprises: In a unique endeavour to provide quality accounting, finance, tax, audit and management consultancy personnel to small- and medium-sized enterprises and CA firms, we successfully organised a job fair for chartered accountants recently at nine centres across the nation. In all, 37 recruiting entities comprising 45 interview teams participated in the fair to recruit our members. Highest salary offered was Rs.6 lakh. Campus Placement during August-September 2012: We will organise the next campus placement programme for our newly-qualified chartered accountants during August-September 2012 at 18 centres across the nation. Detailed announcement in this regard is available at our website. I would like to appeal to our members to spread the information on the programme and make it a grand success. CA Final Results Declared: Results of the Chartered Accountants Final Examination held in May 2012 have been declared with 16.38% candidates as passed in Both Group category, whereas 25.32% and 29.62% candidates have been declared as passed in Group I and Group II categories respectively. I would congratulate all the successful candidates especially Abhishek Gupta from Kolkata, Divyang Bhandari from Chennai and Shruti Sodhani from Bangalore who got first, second and third rank respectively in the final examination. Results of the CPT (Common Proficiency Test) conducted on 17th June, 2012, have also been declared with a pass percentage of 37.56. Female candidates have taken lead from their male counterpart by a margin of 2%, i.e. 40.04 against 37.56%. It is quite satisfying to note that more and more female candidates are successfully joining our profession. Though CA Day celebrations commence on 1st July every year, the ICAI Council with the assistance of its employees constantly celebrates the profession by expediting its innovative endeavours towards empowerment of accountancy profession. And, I understand that responsibility and innovation go handin- hand if we want high productivity in a field.
Spirit of innovation and creativity has to be respected. Creators must be credited for their creation. It is our responsibility and their rights. Philosopher-scientist Albert Einstein voiced his concerns: Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. When people innovate, their effort must be respected. Agenda of intellectual property rights (IPRs) has become extremely important due to competitiveness. IPRs are legal rights resulting from intellectual activity in industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields. Agencies across the globe are figuring out better ways to safeguard the IPRs of creators. Our Government has been acting tough for the enforcement of IPRs, and probably such endeavours have inspired a substantial increase in the share of exports of goods & services in national GDP over the last decade. Our Government wants an effective management of IPRs to enable innovators to make profits and spur innovation. Ultimately, there will be better transparency and accountability in the system. Nobel (Peace) Laureate German philosopher Albert Schweitzer offers: Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals. To discourage the plague of misconduct and tendency of usurping others' rights, we basically need a responsible self. Since foundation of our profession lies on the stringent code of ethics, we vow to put in our best to promote ethics beyond profession too. We declare our solidarity with the Government's mission to protect the rights of innovators. We have always been with our nation in all its noble endeavours.
Happy Independence Day and Id-ul-Fitr to you all!
Best wishes
CA. Jaydeep Narendra Shah
President, ICAI

Meals on Wheels nourishes mind as well as body
She was the fourth customer on our Meals On Wheels delivery route.
We found her in bed in the middle of the cluttered living room of her apartment, rubbing cream onto her warped fingers.
She has extreme arthritis, she explained. "It travels all over my body." She can hardly walk. She can't cook. That's why she gets lunches delivered five times a week by Meals on Wheels. The meals are sponsored by the government and delivered by volunteers, but they still cost her $5.75 each.
"After Christmas, I'm down to two lunches," she said. "I bought a new battery for my scooter and I have a pay for that."
Imagine having to choose between walking and eating.
"Merry Christmas," she said as we left.
"She shouldn't have to pay for the battery," my delivery partner, John Stapleton, said as we got back into his car. "I'm going to look into it for her."
Stapleton is a welfare policy expert. He worked for the Ontario social services ministry for 28 years. Since he took early retirement 10 years ago, he has volunteered for the WoodGreen Community Services Meals On Wheels program once a week, delivering hot and frozen meals to the elderly, sick and isolated of East Toronto.
He inherited the task from his mother, Grace, who did it for 15 years.
That means that every Thursday for the past quarter-century, a dozen people around Coxwell Ave. and Gerrard St. E. have been handed lunch by the Stapleton family.
That adds up to more than 15,000 meals.
Meals On Wheels is a brilliant, simple program. Hospitals and nursing homes cook meals, and volunteers deliver them to people's homes. It is a lifeline for many who are too old or sick to cook themselves. And also a daily check-in.
"Mr. Chambers lived on Upper Gerrard," said Stapleton senior, now 90, still exquisite. "He'd always have this beautiful music playing when I arrived. He made me a tape with all my favourites."
One year, she got two tickets to Handel's Messiah and invited him as her guest. They took the streetcar there together.
"Then he got sick and sicker and sicker. One Thursday, I went in and I said, 'Mr. Chambers, you are not too well are you?' When I went back to the office, I said, 'Would you get in touch with his people? He won't be here next week.' He died that weekend."
There were only six people at Mr. Chambers' funeral. Grace was one of them.
As a Meals On Wheels runner, you are supposed to deliver every lunch by noon sharp. We only picked up the meals at WoodGreen at 11 am. That didn't leave much time at each door. But kindness whips up friendship quickly.
Our second customer was a woman named after a Greek goddess — 92, five-feet-tall, wide green eyes. She hugged me in her immaculate kitchen and handed John a bag of Lindt chocolates.
"I am appreciated," she told me, stuffing cookies into a sandwich bag. Her three children all have good jobs, she said. She has 10 grandchildren. What a Christmas awaits her! "Thanks God," she exclaimed.
She pressed the bag of Greek almond cookies into my hand as we left.
"Merry Christmas."
Most of the houses we visited that hour I'd seen before on my bike ride to work. But I'd never really looked at them. And there's a story inside every one.
Our second-last stop was a rooming house. Peeling paint, three doors off a single porch. A bear of a man answered our knock and led us down a narrow hallway. The walls were bare, the rooms empty except for mattresses, the smell of sickness overpowering.
Our customer was in the second room, dressed in a hospital gown. His body trembled from top to bottom. He was on the phone.
We left his meal.
The bear let us out again. As we picked our way down the rickety stairs, he bellowed "Merry Christmas."
There is much pain in this city, but also much kindness.
I'll let you know if Stapleton manages to find a program that will pay for that woman's scooter battery.
Let it be a merry Christmas.

Inmate data paroled from mainframe
Illinois migrating corrections data to Microsoft CRM cloud
Computerworld - There were a number of glaring IT problems facing the Illinois Department of Corrections. First, they were using green screens to access mainframe data. Second, they were unable to run reports as needed. And finally their mainframe staff was graying and the department's Cobol expertise retiring.
"We were fast approaching a period where there was no one to do support and maintenance," said Gladyse Taylor, assistant director of the state's corrections department.
To fix the problem, the department decided to completely revamp their operations. They are moving from an older IBM S/390 mainframe data to .Net applications that they are writing to run on a system built on the cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. They are moving data hosted on some other non-mainframe systems as well.
The department manages about 49,000 people who are in custody, 30,000 on parole, and it has 11,000 employees.
Federal and state governments have been adopting cloud-basedtechnologies and seem far less hesitant today to host sensitive data on physical servers not in their control. But most of these government migrations have been for email and productivity tools.
Taylor believes that they are early adopters among correction departments in moving to a cloud-based system.
The new system, called Offender-360, will reduce costs, but Taylor said she didn't want to speculate just yet what that return might be. They expect significant savings in paper reduction, improved staff efficiency, and hope that better management tools will improve recidivism rates, which will lower costs as well.
Some of the applications, including the Illinois Offender Tracking System, have been in production since the 1980s. The new system went into production in December, but it will take another year of work to complete the migration.
Report generation had been an impediment, and the new system allows the staff to generate their own reports as they see fit. That capability "has been novel," said Taylor.
The IT staff was trained by support providers on how to convert the applications to the new environment, said Taylor.

District offers customers options for payment By Rhonda Moore
The Roxborough Water and Sanitation District has begun the process to build a new water treatment plant, before catastrophe strikes. Read entire article featured in the News-Press
There are literally hundreds of ways you can save water and save money.
- Receive rebates on high efficiency appliances.
- Upgrade to water-efficient irrigation products and drought tolerant landscaping.
- Teach others by example.
The Roxborough Water and Sanitation District (District) provides high quality surface (renewable) water to customers within its boundaries as well as sewer collection and removal services. Currently, the District's customer base includes 3,400 residential and business accounts. The total build-out of the District's service area is planned for 3,800 units.
The Roxborough community gets its water straight from the Rocky Mountain's lakes, rivers, and snow runoff. Through a long-time relationship with the City of Aurora who owns the water rights to the Community's water, the District negotiated a permanent raw water supply agreement with Aurora which allows RWSD to take its portion out first as it enters Roxborough. The rest of the raw water the City of Aurora owns then travels out to Aurora via a pipeline. Roxborough's water system includes miles of water distribution pipeline, several water storage tanks, and a water treatment plant.
Currently, the District is planning the replacement of its 1958-built water treatment plant. Watch the video tour. Read the Frequently Asked Questions and other timely information to help you better understand how the District is securing Roxborough's water future.
The District also provides the community's sewer treatment, which is part of a regionalized agreement the Littleton/ Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant (LEWTP). The District maintains and owns miles of sewer pipeline to remove and deliver sewage to the LEWTP. The District is considered to be a connector district as it sits outside the service area of the LEWTP which is Colorado's third largest, publicly owned, water treatment plant.

The U.K. accessories brand worn by boldfacers such as Kate Middleton and Rihanna opens its first NYC store, after unveiling two California locations last year. The flashy space features the company's trademark shoe chandelier in the window, with plush couches at the back of the store for trying on the ultratrendy footwear designed by Rebecca Farrar-Hockley. Glass shelves hold styles that run the gamut from classic (pin-heeled suede pumps, $300) to edgy (studded motorcycle boots, $290). Standouts for guys include neon-studded loafers ($215) and suede desert boots ($200). We're partial to the kick-ass accoutrements, such as perforated-leather totes ($380) and spike statement necklaces ($155).

Trapped, that's how longs in equities are feeling as we move into the Midday, and I want to see if this bounce off the lows is just another opportunity for the shorts to bang on the longs. With the commodity markets all pulling back, Oil, Grains, Gold, are in a mass liquidation. I talked about this today in an interview with SFO; we are seeing support levels in these assets being challenged. The Corn markets are challenging $580, Oil breaking $97.50, and Gold sliced $1600, which … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

WhatIWore: Spring is still 3 weeks away, but I'm SO over winter. I'm planning on packing up my heavy winter stuff over the weekend and bringing out my pastels and brights. I've dug through my archives to get some ideas on outfits to get me through these last few days of winter.
WhatIWore: I've never felt a year fly by faster than this one. It feels like just yesterday it was 90 degrees out. Now that it's fall, I seem to crave woodsy, comfy, outdoorsy outfits - plaids, chambray, denim, leather boots and scarves. I'm going to go through my bins and pull some of the above pieces out this afternoon! Above 1/2/3/4

After igniting a new war with Karen, Ivy gets shocking news!
In Season 2 of Smash, the "Bombshell" team is one step closer to achieving their Broadway dream. The Boston run was the success the team was hoping for, including producer Eileen Rand (Anjelica Huston); writers Tom Levitt (Christian Borle); and Julia Houston (Debra Messing); last-minute star Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee); and director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport). But, they are all about to learn even a charmed show cannot avoid paying for sins of the past. Will Eileen get away with mixing business and pleasure with her shady paramour, Nick (guest star Thorsten Kaye)? Will Julia's marriage to Frank (guest star Brian d'Arcy James) survive the revelation of her infidelity? Will actress Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) bounce back from the shame of losing the lead role to rival Karen and bedding her fiance in retaliation? And will Tom and Julia's long-time partnership endure the changing tides of opportunity?
Those who loved Kyle come together to honor his passing with a time-honored Broadway tradition.
When Ivy moderates a Q&A with Tom and Julia, things get ugly.
When the Bombshell reviews come in, Julia and Tom's partnership hits the rocks.
...and they're chock-full of surprises for both Bombshell and Hit List!
Drama erupts when the truth comes out at a rehearsal for "Hit List."
Christian talks about his scene with Liza on the next Smash, Saturday, April 6 at 9/8c on NBC.

My Points | |

I am having trouble determining what to the extent can my players use Imperial Navy Assets. For starters, we simply assumed that request of Orbital Surveillance allows it to be used multiple times throughout the mission. Is that correct? Or is it simply a one time use for the amount of requisition points it costs?
Without Signature

That is up to your GM. These assets can be very powerful, it is in the GM's purvue to determine how often they may be used, or if they are even available in the mission. Your kill-team is a squad of bad-ass, hardened, genetically modified, superhumans… Why would they always go running to the mortal humans for help every time they get into trouble? (wouldn't this be the wrong way round?)
If you as the GM don't want them available, don't think they would or should be available in a mission, or simply feel the players are relying too heavily on these meddlers from outside the deathwatch you are well within your perogative to limit, rescind, or deny them access to them.
Don't forget also that imperial force can be dealing with something else when call to aid come, and then would not be able to respond in time.
If an Imperial fleet in orbitting the oplanet their must be a military reason, if not the fleet has to be somewhere it would serve the imperium and him on earth.

GARRETT SCHIRBER St. Bonaventure Offensive line Making the difficult move inside from left tackle to left guard didn't phase the 6-foot-2, 275-pound, three-year starter as a senior. He maintained his All-Marmonte League, All-County and All-CIF form, despite the shift. Schirber helped pave the way for Zachary Green's big season rushing, as well as protect sophomore QB Ricky Town. He watches "Southpark" and "How I Met Your Mother." He roots for the Green Bay Packers and lists Aaron Rodgers as his favorite athlete.

Writing is hard, so do it
Over the last few months I've been working on something that I wouldn't have seen myself doing at any point in my life, and that's the task of writing a book. I'm not talking about a 'Janet & John' novel, or some sort of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' sort of affair, but a proper printed dead tree, trip over it kinda technical book.
It all started back in May/June time when I was approached by a good friend at Heroku, who had been approached in turn by O'Reilly, to produce a book about the platform and some rough ideas for what sort of book might be relevant and saleable. At the end of a fairly lengthy process it ended up that I was the author, had a contract in my hand and a schedule to try and stick to.

Meditations for "Holy Week"
This is what is traditionally called "Holy Week." I see nothing wrong in spending a week thinking about the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Yes we do that all year long, or should. But still many find setting aside a period of time and dedicating it to reflection on the passion of Christ to be a great spiritual blessing. I find it to be a time of renewal and recommitment myself. I invite my readers, if you do not already have a reading schedule to read along with me this week. I have a very simple outline below. May you be blessed in your walk with the Lord. My only advice is that for the selections below that you take your time. Do not rush. Savor the texts in meditation, prayer and reflective singing. Practice lectio divina with them (see pp. 88-89 if Kingdom Come for a short guideline for doing that)

The Crucified Servant—Isaiah 53
Hymn-Oh, The Depth & Riches (#375; numbers refer to Songs of Faith & Praise hymnal)
Prayer Thought—Jesus bears my sin
Monday, April 2
The Pierced Messiah—Zechariah 12.10-13
Hymn—It is Finished! (#369)
Prayer Thought—Praise Him for taking the Spear for me.
Tuesday, April 3
The Crushed Messiah—Psalm 22
Hymn—When My Love to Christ Grows Weak (#350)
Prayer Thought—May my Love Grow for Christ
Wednesday, April 4

life situations one finds the cross in the NT
Scripture Texts -Romans 6 & 1 Pet 1.13-21
Hymn -When My Love For Christ Grows Weak (#350)

Thursday, April 5
Preaching the Cross

Hymn – Psalm 88
Prayer Thought – Try to identify with the
sense of loss and destroyed hopes of the disciples
Easter Sunday, April 8
Lamb of God is Victorious
Scripture Texts - Luke 24; Revelation 5.1-14; 19.6-8
Hymn -Lamb of God (#176)

privilege of fellowship with the Lamb.

In August, a homosexual activist marched into the Family Research Council (FRC) headquarters in Washington D.C., and pulled a gun. The first person he saw was a security guard, whom he shot in the arm.
The FRC is a Christian-based, socially conservative organization that strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion and says it advocates faith, family and freedom in public policy and public opinion. This conservative organization is a powerful lobbying group on those causes, testifying before Congress and reviewing legislation.

Touch sensitive Flip launched
Classy buttons
The Flip pocket camcorder range has widened with the addition of a model sporting touch-sensitive controls and redesigned body.
The Flip Mino: touch sensitive
Although the Flip Mino has already made an appearance in the US, the latest model is now set to be released in the UK with keys that'll only be displayed when they are relevant - which smacks of similarities to the keypad found on LG's KF510 handset.
The flip-out USB connector, which has made the range so famous, has also been moved from the side to the top of the Mino. The camcorder weighs a mere 90g.
The Mino has 2GB of Flash memory built in, and videos can be watched straight after capture on the device's 1.5in colour LCD. The on-board storage should be enough for about one hour of 30f/s 640 x 480 video, although the camcorder's battery will keep going for up to four hours.
The Flip Mino is available now, priced at £120 ($207/€151).
Round-up: Ten of the Best... Pocket Camcorders
Highly Recommended
Mine arrived yesterday. £120 at Amazon UK. An excellent little camcorder which is great fun to use. Comes with a pouch & lanyard. Dead easy to use. Short video clips looked fine. Transferred to PC with its built-in software without difficulty. Will try with Macs today.
Ideal for beginners & experts alike who make "movies". Should sell like hot cakes this Xmas.
