Listen! The Lord 's arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. It's your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore.
Isaiah 59:1-2 NLT
If you are not hearing from God, look inward first…don't be quick to assume God isn't listening…or that he can't do what he's promised.
Sometimes we say we are waiting on God to move or speak but we haven't examined our own hearts…to see if the lack of action is a result of unconfessed or continued sins.
The Lord CAN do it. The Lord DOES hear you. The question is what's goin on in your heart?

For my first real post, we will take an oddly long trip into my chaotic mind. It was none other than average day of the University Union at Cal Poly, where I attend school. And, sometimes, average becomes readable.
* * * * *
The University Union
* * * * *
The University Union
I originally saw her from across the University Union, the inside part. It's where I go when I want to nap, study, or read in between classes. It's kind of an escape. In the UU, you get to see a diverse population of Cal Poly. You get to see those out of your mundane and daily routine. There is defiantly something special about the UU, or really any populated public location, really, that makes me feel a part of something bigger. But this story is not about something bigger. It's about something really personal, something that your share with only those closest to you. But, like that time in the UU that day, I am feeling brave, and so, today, you can all be those people closest to me.
To give you an idea of where exactly I am, I will try to describe what is roughly going on here. The time was approximately 3:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon. Since it is January, the sun is starting to move toward the ocean, just a mile or so as the crow flies from our California campus. The UU faces the southwest, and the windows are really large, so the glare is starting to set in. Unfortunately, this was not exactly an idealistic glare, like in "Touched by an Angel" or a romantic comedy. This was a glare that made you squint to see those coming in from the outside. It's that kind of glare that allows those cocky people to justify wearing sunglasses inside.

Unfortunately, this was not exactly an idealistic glare, like in "Touched by an Angel" or a romantic comedy. This was a glare that made you squint to see those coming in from the outside. It's that kind of glare that allows those cocky people to justify wearing sunglasses inside.
Around the UU, there were all types of people. Groups form in sections of overstuffed chairs that are facing each other, allowing for power naps or mellow conversation. I was in a maroon, overstuffed chair, myself. The tables are packed with study groups, ranging from engineering to psychology to business to biology. As I am looking around, I realized that in the UU, there are no boundary lines. Just as America claims to be "the Great Melting Pot," we mesh together seamlessly. Seniors and freshmen, alike, can gather in the UU. It is a place where the playing field is leveled. Where there are no courses or complicated labs. There are no houses with fraternity letters on them, and everyone has something in common. All you have to do is find that common ground to spark a conversation. But that takes guts.
Like I said, I first saw her when I was reading a book that my younger sister had recommended to me. It was a memoir, but an interesting one at that, titled "The Glass Castle." I peered up from my book to reflect on what I had just read and to survey the landscape, if you want to call it that. It was that quick glance that caught her eye. I'm not even sure if she registered the glance, but I certainly did.
You know how sometimes, you just get that feeling. It's not that feeling "in the pit of your stomach" or that feeling "you get when you're in free fall," but something more like a big slap on the back that makes you sit up straighter and take a quick breath. My first gasp was quick, and as far as I know, went unnoticed. I felt a little adrenaline pump as I planned a smooth double-take. I softly placed the book on my lap and put a very philosophical look on my face. At this point my brows were furled and vision slightly obscured, but I stole a quick glance. Her head was down, buried in some thick book that I could not see the cover to. I wondered what she was reading. "Is that a book that I have read?" If I had known, it might have been my big break, but I couldn't make it out. I looked back down, pretending to read for a couple minutes. I was really trying to think of some excuse to move her direction. But when I looked up, she was gone. The time on the clock was 3:57.
At about 4:30, I look and see that it is time to head off to my class that starts in ten minutes. I can't focus on physics, though. All I'm thinking about is who she is. She is light-skinned, has long, dark, wavy hair, with dark-green eyes. She is thin, looked like slightly taller than an average height, but that is hard to tell. She was reading… And I realized that I don't even know her major. I felt like I was living the song "Breakfast at Tiffinay's," except I didn't even get the chance to talk to her. I thought that there must have been another opportunity to meet her, and I wasn't going to give up that easy.
The next Tuesday, I sat down in the UU at around 3:25. Tuesday and Thursday schedules are usually similar, if not the same, so I had a small chance of hope. My positioning was different that time. I sat in her row, only two seats down from her last spot. I dug into my book, only getting a chance to "read," or at least stare at it, during my breaks on Tuesday and Thursday. When I looked up at 3:32, she was sitting next to me. I almost jumped, as I had totally missed it. How had she been so quiet that I didn't even notice she was there? I had been so entrenched in my book that I didn't even look up. I could've said something to her. Something dumb, probably, like "oh, let me move my stuff." I might have said something funny, and if she laughed, I would be in. Not only do I love the way a girl looks when she laughs, but I heard that if a girl laughs at something that isn't funny, she likes you. I could've introduced myself, and we would have hit it off for sure! I blew my only chance, and I had been defeated. I dug back into my book, blanketed with the "im totally obvious and creepy if I say something now" aura. I didn't even have a chance to look at her without turning her blatant direction.
Then, she dropped her pen. It bounced an off her leg and came to rest by my foot. I saw her move to pick it up, but I used the advantage of my long arms to beat her to it. I looked up and we made our first real eye contact. The funny thing was that it lasted a couple of split seconds longer than it should have. I don't doubt that I could stare at her for more than just a couple of seconds, given the chance, but that usually doesn't get reciprocated. We both snapped out of the quick, speechless glance as I handed her the pen. She whispered a timid "thanks." I shook my head and smiled, but failed to get out more than a mumble of a "you're welcome." I was already looking her direction, so I glanced down at her book. It was the Bible. She was taking notes in one of my favorite books, Romans. At that point, I had my connection. The principle of the UU was about to be proven once more. If only I could get up the guts. But I told you that I was feeling brave today. In a split-second decision, I went for it. I felt like I was risking it all, but that was the best part.
"What chapter are you reading?" She looked at me with a sheepish grin that was oddly attractive. "Chapter 12," she responded. This was getting even better. I had quite a bit of that chapter memorized, and I couldn't waste the opportunity. My confidence was growing, and I was getting warmer.
But just as I was about to ask her favorite part, one of my friends walked up and yelled my name. I turned around to see he was closing in on my location. I gave him a glance and smiled, trying to think of a way out. But it was too late. He sat down in the chair to my left. I was now committed to my left, not my right, where the girl read quietly. He started talking about his day, and how beautiful the day was. He was describing the feeling he got when he stepped outside that morning. But every time he mentioned the sun, I thought her eyes. Mentions of the wispy clouds,and I thought her voice. The glare in his eyes was her beauty in mine, the torturous shine that makes everything black and white for a few instances. While exhaling from pure relief by the warmth of the sun, I was humbled by her smile. There was something that made my emotions distorted but my intentions so clear. She made things plain. She made things exciting. She was my engine and drive, but when I took a glance back around, to see her walking away, she sunk my ship and all of its men to the ocean floor. It was 3:57.
But I knew there was still hope. I conjured up a new crew, a new spirit. The repairs of the damages the girl who left just as fast as she came were complete. And I hadn't screwed up with her; I had just been temporarily detoured. That Thursday I would see her and get another shot. I could make it happen, I convinced myself.
Well, she didn't come that Thursday. But the Tuesday would be successful, for sure. I went straight to our seats and glanced up frequently to make sure I didn't miss a thing. She didn't show up Tuesday. Not the next Thursday either. As it turns out, I never saw her again. It was over, and there was nothing I could do about it. I didn't even know her name.

President Donald Trump continued his multi-day assault on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a Thursday tweet, saying he should "get back to work" on GOP agenda items.
"Mitch, get back to work and put Repeal & Replace, Tax Reform & Cuts and a great Infrastructure Bill on my desk for signing. You can do it!" Trump tweeted on Thursday afternoon.
Congress is on recess for the month of August. Trump is spending 17 days away from the White House – this week, at his resort in Bedminster, New Jersey – for what the White House calls a "working vacation."
During a press availability, Trump was asked by reporters whether he thinks McConnell should step down as majority leader based on his tweets. Trump responded that if McConnell doesn't get Obamacare repeal, tax cuts, and infrastructure done, "then you can ask me that question."
"Well, I'll tell you what," Trump said. "If he doesn't get repeal and replace done, if he doesn't get taxes done, meaning cuts and reform, and if he doesn't get a very easy one to get done – infrastructure – if he doesn't get that done, then you should ask me that question."
Trump took issue with what he saw as a lack of preparedness on the part of congressional Republicans to deliver on their promise to repeal and replace Obamacare.
"I just want him to get repeal and replace done," Trump said of McConnell. "I've been hearing repeal and replace for seven years… all I hear is repeal and replace. And then I get there and I say 'where is the bill' because I want to sign it first day and they don't have it."
Trump also said he was not happy in how the healthcare debate played out in the Senate, where it was defeated by one vote in July.
"So I said Mitch, get to work and let's get it done," Trump said. "They should have had this last thing done. They lost by one vote, for a thing like that to happen is a disgrace and frankly it shouldn't have happened."
The tweet comes as another shot in a war of words between the two Republican leaders that began after Trump attacked the Senate for failing to pass a bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act in July.
McConnell suggested Tuesday that Trump was frustrated with the healthcare failure because he had "excessive expectations" due to his lack of experience in politics.
"Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before," McConnell said. "I think he had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process."
That prompted a rebuke from Trump and White House social media director Dan Scavino.
"Can you believe that Mitch McConnell, who has screamed Repeal & Replace for 7 years, couldn't get it done. Must Repeal & Replace ObamaCare!" Trump tweeted earlier Thursday.
The New York Times reported that McConnell and Trump held a call on Wednesday before his tweet in which the president became "animated."
Analysts suggest the fight could be damaging to the GOP agenda push.
Here are the tweets:
Mitch, get back to work and put Repeal & Replace, Tax Reform & Cuts and a great Infrastructure Bill on my desk for signing. You can do it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 10, 2017
Can you believe that Mitch McConnell, who has screamed Repeal & Replace for 7 years, couldn't get it done. Must Repeal & Replace ObamaCare!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 10, 2017
Senator Mitch McConnell said I had "excessive expectations," but I don't think so. After 7 years of hearing Repeal & Replace, why not done?

Miley: Daddy, when I grow up, I want to be a Musketeer.
Billy Ray: Aw, that's sweet, Baby.
Miley: And then I wanna do a Musketeer. Oops, I did it again!
First, Miley bares her naked back. Then she gets into a sexy pose with daddy, Billy Ray. Both for Vanity Fair. Now she emerges from a trailer and pole-dances atop an ice cream cart at the Teen Choice Awards. Can we say Rocky Road?
In five years, I can see her shaving her head publicly ala Britney Spears. Hell, Miley might go one better and shave something else publicly. In seven years, after her recovery, the sex tape emerges. By now, Miley is a flabby has-been looking for a comeback. A misstep marriage will follow additional stints in rehab. Then she'll emerge from hiding, her face pulled tightly over her scalp, a top-40 single on the charts (#39). She'll be down for the count, but the public will play along. "Isn't she great? What a champ!"

"So, if you are stuck for any act of compromise on the roads and you've gone via the trial and located looking even after appeal and jogging via the direction your call will appear."
Mr. Agomoh said that even if such corps became terminated his name would continue to be on the board in all unit and zonal commands to function deterrent for others.
He introduced that the board could have the culprit's name, the offence devoted and his nation of origin.
"that is in order that if tomorrow your child or relative walks into the workplace and sees your name they'll recognize why you had been terminated from the FRSC.

"Of path the solution is no, so they will conduct themselves properly,'' he said.
He urged all the commands to duplicate the Roll of Dishonour Board of their respective instructions.
He stated the FRSC had marked the Finance and Nicon junctions in Abuja as some of the black spots where injuries occur often and changed into operating to address it.
Mr. Agomoh said that the retreat could permit the FRSC to re-examine what it had completed before and the way to upload greater price.
This, he said, could be achieved by using looking on the regions in which it had now not finished nicely to improve on its operational activities.

Mr. Oghenekaro recognized speed because the essential motive of road crash, including that the reason was due to the first-rate of roads inside the country's capital.

Mr. Amarere additionally advised FRSC to take road safety campaign to socio-cultural and non secular collecting to further develop the horizon of Nigerians on the problem and also use the social media.
Consistent with him, this may enable greater people hear about the way to store their own lives on the road and additionally caution drivers whilst on transit.

To prevent jaundice
Sugarcane helps in proper functioning of the liver and digestion. A glass of sugarcane juice will help the patient recover from jaundice quickly.
Tomatoes have lycopene which lowers the risk of liver ailments. One glass of tomato juice mixed with salt and pepper should be taken every morning in order to cure jaundice.
Lemons have anti-inflammatory property which helps in curing jaundice. It unblocks the bile ducts and protects the liver cells from damage thus making it the most simple and easy home remedy for jaundice.
Make a papaya leave paste and add honey to it. One should eat this regularly for about two weeks. This is an effective home remedy.
Spinach, as we all know, has iron in abundance; therefore spinach juice would be advantageous. Some chopped spinach leaves along with carrot will be an effective home remedy.

Beautiful, nice and sturdy fanny pack but the colors are not similar to those shown in the product pictures.
I picked the blue one. It appears to be made from Canvas material. The zippers are made of metal and the seams are nicely stitched.
My first reaction on receiving it was- it is huge and beautiful. It has so many pockets and I can fit in everything I need in here.
It has 7 zippered compartments in total,3 main Pockets, 2 on the side,1 at the back and the remaining two inside.
This pack goes around the waist so it adds weight to the middle of the body and there is no strain on the hands or legs. Also it is comfortable wearing on walks and very convenient too.
This fanny bag can hold my small water bottle, my iPhone, chap-stick, protein bars, keys, facial cleans and I can go on but you get the idea.
This is going to come more handy during the summer because it can get very hot, and carrying around a water bottle in this pack is a great idea.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parents' marital status and various dimensions of psychological well-being of adolescents in Greece. 166 adolescents from divorced and 166 from intact families completed a) the Achenbach's Youth Self-Report Questionnaire, b) a questionnaire about their parents' relationship and their own relationship with each one of their parents, and c) a questionnaire about demographics. The results suggest adolescents from divorced families had poorer academic performance and more internalizing and externalizing problems than their counterparts. Furthermore, it was found that a positive parent-child relationship was associated with the adolescents' mental health. The parents' relationship after divorce was also associated with the subjects' mental health and more specifically with internalizing and externalizing problems.

India on Film
The Cloud-Capped Star
Tue 31 Oct, 7.45pm
'A searing piece of work, resonant and beautifully structured...' Time Out
An undisputed arthouse classic that introduced a new vision of Indian cinema to the world. Writer/director Ritwik Ghatak's story of a post-partition Bengali family is a dark melodrama, full of expressionistic beauty and showing a rare empathy for its female characters.
In a refugee camp on the outskirts Calcutta in the late 1950s, Nita (Supriya Choudhury) works diligently to support her parents and siblings, who have been forced to move from East Pakistan following Partition. Nita is willing to sacrifice everything for her family: her happiness, her education, her money and her health. Exploited by the society that surrounds her and taken for granted by her own family, Nita is forced to bear the consequences of political upheaval.
A visually sublime, provocative and deeply personal account of poverty and exile, The Cloud-Capped Star is a bitter critique of the harsh social and economic conditions arising from Partition.
Dir: Ritwik Ghatak
Cast: Supriya Choudhury
India 1960, 126mins

Circular reasoning of carbon dating Sex boy usa philippines cam live
Here are examples of the misinformation and half-truths, along with my comments.
The standard geologic column is found only in textbooks.
This technique is not restricted to bones; it can also be used on cloth, wood and plant fibers.
Carbon-14 dating has been used successfully on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Minoan ruins and tombs of the pharaohs among other things. The half-life of carbon-14 is approximately 5,730 years. dinosaurs the evolution alleges lived millions of years ago.
Then they look for pieces of dead wood which are older than the specimen which they started with and whose tree-ring patterns match up with and overlap those of the first specimen (tree-rings can vary greatly in width due to environmental factors and thus produce a pattern by which we can match specimens which grew in the same environment).
Scientists then look for more pieces of dead wood to match and overlap the second specimen and on and on.
And finally, they count all of the tree-rings, using the matching patterns to connect all the pieces, and they determine the age of the oldest piece of wood.
This is called a "long chronology." By dating the oldest piece of wood using the Carbon dating method and comparing the two dates, scientists can make the necessary adjustments to their calculations. Aardsma, "Myths Regarding Radiocarbon Dating," Impact, No.
Carbon-14 cannot be used to date biological artifacts of organisms that did not get their carbon dioxide from the air.
This rules out carbon dating for most aquatic organisms, because they often obtain at least some of their carbon from dissolved carbonate rock.
Levels of carbon-14 become difficult to measure and compare after about 50,000 years (between 8 and 9 half lives; where 1% of the original carbon-14 would remain undecayed).Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

Megastar Mammootty's Pullikkaran Staraa is gearing up for an Onam release. The movie directed by 7th Day fame Shyam Dhar promises to be a fun filled entertainer with Mammootty playing the role of an instructor in a teacher training institute. The teaser and posters are highly promising and the movie looks like a perfect Onam watch with families.
Pullikkaran Staraa's audio will be launched today in an low key event in Kollam. The launch will be streamed live on Facebook through the movie's official page. Veteran M Jayachandran has composed the songs in the movie. BK Harinarayanan, Santhosh Varma and Vinayak Sasikumar have written the lyrics.
Pullikkaran Staraa is written by debutant Ratheesh Ravi. Mammootty's character named as Rajakumaran is an Idukki native who comes to Kochi after he lands a job in a government institute. Nee-na fame Deepti Sati and Asha Sharath play the female leads.
The movie's core plot is centred around the events occurring after Rajakumaran reaches Kochi. He is a very jovial person who considers every student of his as a child. Rajakumaran's students love his lectures as he connects and explains everything with an interesting anecdote. He is a fabulous story teller and the film will reveal the reasons for the same.
Asha Sharath is also playing the role of a teacher in this movie. It's been a while since the audience were treated to a proper fun entertainer from Mammootty and Pullikkaran Staraa seems to be exactly what the families seek during this Onam season.
Vinod Ilampally has cranked the camera. Gopi Sunder is handling the background score. B Rakesh is producing this movie under the banner of Universal Cinemas.

I'm currently sitting here, at my desk, so full that I cannot sit comfortably.
My waistband is unhappy with me, my stomach is stretched to capacity, I can hear my hips growing and still I eat more. There is still food on my plate, you see. And it was free. And the gargantuant North American in me screams "moooooooooooooore! Eat MOOOORE!" as crumbs fly out and I dribble coffee down my chin.
It isn't pretty.
But I can't stop. I simply cannot. I must eat everything on my plate. And that plate must be filled so that I cannot see any of the ceramic, all I want to visually intake is food, food and more food. No plate. I cannot eat that of course.
I can't be done eating until I'm so full I kick myself for being such an idiot yet again. Or, I would kick myself if I could just move in these pants…..fucking tighter than I remember them being. Damn Chinese factories, making ever-shrinking pants. I tell ya.
I don't quite understand why we do this to ourselves. Now, I'm not an American, so we don't eat AS extreme as they do (holy shit, their portions could crush some children, I'm sure) but Canada is pretty close in terms of eating. I feel seriously depressed when a restaurant brings me my meal and all of it can fit into my visual field at once.
No! I want more! And where the hell is my free bread with butter? Why is this water glass so tiny? Oh no you don't! You don't fill up that pop glass with ice, so that I'm fooled into thinking I'm getting a lot of pop. I'm on to you! I'm a North American and my appetite is UNSURPRESSABLE!!!!
I'm not sure how we created a society of bloody cookie monsters. We all go apeshit when we see food, and it isn't for lack of exposure, that's for sure. But we all jump on our food like impatient vultures and shovel it in, a la Homer, until we can't move and we become immobile belching machines. Then we have dessert. Then we have a coffee. Then a little snack before bed. Hell, slip some to the dog too.
Then we all run to the gym to sign up for memberships. 'This time, I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna go! Woo! I can TOTALLY get up at 6AM to run on the spot for 45 minutes! Yay me!' We go once. Maybe twice. We throw our money down the drain. Then we take our slightly skinnier wallets to the mall and buy ourselves some new fatter clothes. As we're walking out, we notice our feet pinch in our shoes. Fucking Chinese factory ever-shrinking shoes! We waddle back in and buy comfier (read: wider) shoes for our feet. The wallet shrinks again.
We get home and realize we're poorer than we were and that we've just shopped in a plus-size store and had to buy EEE shoes, so that our fat feet can shuffle through our days in slightly more comfort. We get depressed. Look in the mirror, pinch our flab, obsess over that spare tire, cringe at our back fat. Fuck it. Who cares. Where's that Ben & Jerry's? They're nice boys. Ben & Jerry always understand.
We sit on the couch all night, drowning in misery, ice cream and donuts. We cry over the pretty models in the magazines and draw ugly Hitler moustaches on their bony, exoskeleton-like faces. Whores. Skinny bony whores. We flip the channels and see starving kids whose entire bodies cannot challenge the circumfrence of our torsos. Pffft. More ice cream.
We eat when bored, we eat when angry, we eat when hungry, we eat when drunk, we eat when offered, we eat when there's just nothing else to do.
What the hell do they do in other countries? Stare at walls? I don't know. It seems to me that the French should be fat for all their baguettes and coffees, the Italians should be fat for all their pasta and vino, the Greeks should be fat for all their rice and ouzo, the Chinese should be fat for all their white rice, the Brits should be fat for all their fish and chips………but they're not. I don't get it.
Maybe they don't stuff their faces until they can't move. That might be it. Who knows.
I just thought I'd write about this. But of course, I have to end this with saying I am not fat. Nor am I overweight. Too many years in a ballet studio have screwed me up enough in the head to not let myself get that way really. But I am an overeater at times. And it's gross really. But I can't stop. I'm North American and I'll eat my way through this life until it kills me.

Our resident fashionista, Rod Hagwood, sent me a message with these shoes that look like they could be a fashion find for our fave girls in Sex and the City.
Telegraph.co.uk describes them as combining "the elegance of stiletto heeels with the swimming speed of flippers."
But any beach-going Floridian will tell you that you would never get to the water with these. Hm...Calling all lifeguards. Carrie has her stiletto stuck in the sand.
Even if you did want them, you couldn't buy them. They are the creation of Belgian artists Paul Schietekat for a 2006 exhibition.
Hope you got a chuckle. We did.

I am a "master" educator now. Whoo! Technically, I still have to make some copies and get those copies turned in, but everything has been read and approved by all of the powers that be. So, thesis…finally done. What a long, long, long process. I really wish I could have finished earlier so I had more time to relax before school starts!
Ah well. At least I'm done. I should be back in the world of blogging soon enough.
I am the language lover and these are my thoughts.

Tyra Banks has found a way to really frame her smize for max effect. The America's Next Top Model host debuted her new pixie cut today on social media, the big chop having apparently occurred just this afternoon.
"Snip #NotTooShort," Tyra captioned the first pic of her fierce new 'do, which—as you might have guessed—shows off her supermodel-caliber bone structure like nobody's business.
The professional poser turned TV host and businesswoman has traditionally sported a voluminous head of hair, wearing her long locks curly or straight and gleefully acknowledging the help she gets from wigs and weaves. In fact, in 2009, she kicked off season five of the talk show she had at the time by unveiling her real hair.
"Like I've worn weaves and wigs and pieces and clip-ons and clip-outs and clip-downs and around since I was 17, 18, and I wanted to show the real me," she said on Larry King Live after the big reveal. "I wanted to show the raw me, and I just got out of the shower—beat the face first of course, y'all—and then came out of here—on this stage, and this is me, you all. This is me." And now it's back to basics again.
Letting King touch her hair, she explained, "My natural hair texture is very kinky. You felt my real hair texture. This is straightened. This part is straightened. This part is not, inside…I felt it was my responsibility to show as much of my real hair as possible."

Why Does Scott Walker Want To Stop The Union Contracts?
Posted by Chris Liebenthal on December 1, 2010
Scott Walker, Goobernator-to-be, really, really, really wants to prevent the current lame duck state legislature and governor from approving any contracts with the state's unions.
He sent a notice to the unions, even before the election was held, that they should stop all negotiations (which is a bit of a no-no, by the way).
He also sent a letter to Governor Doyle, asking him not approve any new contracts.
When the unions and Doyle turned a deaf ear to his pleas, he sentanother letter to the state legislature asking them to stop the process of approving any contracts.
So why is he so desperate to stop these contracts? The contracts will cover the current budget, the bulk of which he wasn't even governor yet (but was running for governor that whole time, as well as the three budgets before that).
If you listen to Walker, the Fitzgerald boys, or Walker's allies in squawk radio, it's because they are afraid Doyle and the outgoing Democrats will give away the state in lucrative pay raises and benefits.
But that is just empty rhetoric, since we already know that the contracts do not include any pay raises or any increase in benefits.
So why all the hubbub, bub?
If the unions and the state reach an agreement before he takes office it weakens his plan to ruin the state on two fronts.
Walker most likely was planning on "balancing" the state budget and "resolving" the deficit crisis by making up phony savings like he did with Milwaukee County's budget, when he just added all sorts of concessions without even pretending to negotiate for them. Walker's shenanigans has caused the 2010 budget to be in a predicted to be nearly $8 million. The projected deficit for 2011's budget is even worse.
This would put Walker in the awkward position of actually having to make the hard decision regarding the budget. Unlike his tenure as county executive, he won't have a lenient county board to take his messes and clean them up as best they can. With Republicans controlling both the Assembly and the Senate, they would have no one to pin the blame on when the people start calling for heads when their services get cut and the economy starts its downward decent again.
The other issue for Walker is that it could make things much harder for his ultimate goal, which is to bust up the unions. Walker and his Republican allies have made no bones about the fact that they would like to alter, if not completely eliminate, the collective bargaining laws and to make the state into what is ironically known as a right to work state.
If the current administration and legislature complete the contract negotiations and these contracts are enacted, it weakens the Republican's legal arguments in a court of law for the lawsuit(s) that you know will be coming in fast and furiously if they were to pass their agenda.
After all, if anyone really thinks that Walker's agenda has anything to do with creating jobs, they might as well just stop kidding themselves, the sooner the better. Their real agenda is just to open up the state for exploitation and hoping that they get to partake in the rewards for doing so.
Thankfully, even though they got their you-know-whats handed to them in the last election, Governor Doyle and the Democrats are starting to show some of their old fire and are not willing to allow the state to go the toilet without a fight. But it's scary to think how downhill they can push are economy when they get free rein.

GOOD MORNING: "I flipped over Rock Hudson — and we all know what a bum decision that turned out to be!" It was Elaine Stritch telling how she called off her two-year relationship with Ben Gazzara to instead date Hudson when all were filming in Italy. That was then and now, Stritch says, she and Gazzara are talking of teaming onstage in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." She and Gazzara — and his wife, Elke — have become friends over the years and she loves recounting his quote when he came backstage after seeing her on B'way in her Tony-winning one-woman show "Elaine Stritch at Liberty." "I didn't know you were this talented." And she raved about his performance in "Nobody Don't Like Yogi." Here for the TCA promo tour — for her May-airing HBO feature docu — Elaine took time out to have tea with me at the Peninsula Hotel. She didn't miss a beat — even while checking her blood sugar and giving herself a shot of insulin while asking the maitre'd to fill up a bottle of orange juice for her and to keep handy a few of the hotel's special breakfast muffins. The HBO vidversion of her legiter bares all of Stritch — warts and all her talents and, as always, her great gams. In the HBO film, she admits, "It's hard to open — and hard to close." But, while that curtain's down, Stritch continues on. She'll also be seen in Showtime's "Paradise" and is launching a lecture tour, "Elaine Stritch, An Original Woman." She certainly is.
ANTHONY MINGHELLA SAYS HE and Sydney Pollack "are swapping hats" on the next project of their Working Title banner, "The Interpreter." They were teamed as director and producer respectively on "Cold Mountain" and Pollack directs and Minghella is behind the scenes on "Interpreter," which also stars Nicole Kidman. As reported Dec. 10 in Daily Variety, Sean Penn is being sought. Minghella, while already receiving many accolades (and nominations) for "Cold Mountain," which he also scripted, is philosophical about not getting a nod from the Directors Guild. (Nominees are Clint Eastwood, Peter Jackson, Peter Weir , Gary Ross and Sofia Coppola). Minghella pensively noted, "maybe because our film was released so late? But, I am mainly happy because it is doing so well." He admits the one person he wanted to be happy with the film was author Charles Frazier on whose novel his script is based. And was he pleased? "I believe so. He was on the set and attended several of our openings." Minghella is particularly happy these days because son, Max, 18, gets his first film role — and a big one — as Richard Gere's son. Minghella wears yet another hat as he now hies back to London to work as chairman of the British Film Institute … Ireland's Jim Sheridan joined us at lunch at Spago where the "In America" director made some revelations about that film — and about his next. F'instance: In the often autobiographical "In America," he admitted he lost the family's rent money in a carnival toss game — but couldn't make the scene "that heartbreaking" in the film. And now, he's heavily into research for his next pic, also Irish-American, "The Mark of Cain." It's about Joseph Kennedy and sons Bobby and John and the intrigue, from father to the sons and — the murders. Sheridan marked my note pad with his map of the Mafia areas of influence in America to illustrate.
I CAUGHT UP WITH TIM ALLEN between rehearsals for his first legit directing stint, "Ms. Fits!" bowing Jan. 15 at the Ivar Theater in Hollywood and starring Megan Cavanagh and Carolynne Warren. He got into this role via conversation with Megan at their respective children's school. He's directed many of his "Home Improvement" segs and as for the legit reining experience, he says, "I love it!" And would do more. And he also intends to direct a movie, "Crazy On the Outside" — "but not soon." First, he's busy writing, with Matt Carroll, the remake of Disney's "Shaggy Dog" in which Allen will star with Brian Robbins directing. Allen also has two films at Revolution in which to star — "Skipping Christmas" which Joe Roth will direct, starting in three weeks and "In The Pink." Then comes "Santa Claus 3". He's busy! … And talking about writing, "Big Fish" author Daniel Wallace tells me he'd never before read a movie script until he saw what John August had accomplished with his novel. And he admits he loves the conversion and as for his first experience with Hollywood and this film, he says, "I feel like the lucky. I haven't met anyone in this film that I wouldn't want to meet again." He is now busy writing scripts on his own, has an agent, UTA, and the first script sold is "Timeless" and set at Universal with, it is hoped, Tom Shadyac to direct. It's a far cry from "Big Fish" — a romantic comedy.
AWARD SHOW TOPPERS move on: Sunday night it was Walter C. Miller producing and Louis J. Horvitz directing "The People's Choice Awards" at the Pasadena Civic Aud and Monday morning, Miller was at work on the Feb. 8 Grammys for the Staples Center and Horvitz was at Joe Roth's Oscars office (at Revolution) readying the Feb. 29 Oscars for the Kodak. The Grammys will be the 34th for exec producer Pierre Cossette … At the People's Choice Awards, Ted Danson told me he's heading on the road to stomp for Wesley Clark's Demo presidential bid … Eva Marie Saint and husband Jeffrey Hayden perform "Love Letters" for the first time in L.A., Feb. 15 at the BevHills Hotel to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation. The life of their 13-year-old grandson Eli has been affected by epilepsy. He developed a seizure disorder following surgery when he was seven years old. "He is an inspiration to our family," Eva says of the youngster. Frank Gorshin will be toasted by the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters Friday at the Sportsmen's Lode. Dais includes Adam West to whose "Batman" Gorshin played "The Riddler" in the 1960s TV series.

High definition multimedia interfaces are the standard for any gadget that plugs into your TV. HDMI cables play both audio and video through your TV, though you might have to do a little fiddling with your audio settings if you're running a media center PC to your TV.
As with most gadgets, even HDMI cables have generational differences. HDMI 2.0, released in 2013, boasts support for 4k video formats and stronger signal strength. This basically means that you'll be seeing more frames on the biggest TV you can get your hands on.
DisplayPort is slowly taking over the market by the power of simplicity. There's only one DisplayPort plug. Oh, and it runs your gadgets through your TV at 60 frames a second.
It handles audio, too. The only real limitation of the DisplayPort tech is that its ability to ferry information to and from a TV dips as the cable lengthens.
For most everyone's purposes, though, it's a single dongle that will connect all of your gadgets straight into your TV at the highest possible quality. If your computer doesn't have a slot for DisplayPort connections, you can find adapters online for relatively cheap (at the cost of some quality).
The other limitation of DisplayPort is market penetration. It's a relatively new format, and it will take most tech manufacturers a hot minute to warm up to it. Like I said, though, adapters are cheap and easy to find.
You've most likely linked your home PC's monitor to a digital video interface port at some point. The signal is basically the same as an HDMI port, but DVI cables generally don't support audio. Most modern TVs will probably have a DVI port, but DVI cables aren't going to plug all of your gadgets into your TV.
DVI cables come in single and dual links. Single links can support resolutions up to 1900 x 1200. Dual links can support higher resolutions and multiple screens at the same time.
The biggest reason that DVI ports didn't exactly catch on was the lack of a standard feature-set. Different DVI cables can do different things, and that's confusing for most people.
VGA or Video Graphics Array is the oldest of the video connectors. It's been around since 1987, if you can believe it, but it just won't go away. It's on many TVs, monitors and computers.
Unlike the other video connectors, VGA is analog. That means not only does it not support high definition, it doesn't have as clear of a picture.
If VGA is your only option, then go ahead and use it. Otherwise, you'll want something a bit better.

Talking to God when you have Cancer
Someone recently told me that the hospital he was in when he was having cancer surgery, had a chapel which had daily communion services. He said that - it was very well attended by people from the cancer ward.
The point was well made. When you near the point of no return to the life you once knew - you feel acutely isolated in time and space you feel your "oneness or unique aloneness" as never before.
Reaching out for support is therapeutic. Its also very natural.
If you are not a spiritually attuned person - there is no shame in acknowledging your frailty.
I won't preach or tell you how to live your life, but I will tell you what I have done and what I do.
I have a friend who is not too far away and I call him and we talk.
On the surface its easy to see me reaching out for the phone. But there is more to it then just that.
My friend doesn't have a phone. He can be reached by thought. It sounds a little mystical doesn't it? It is.
My friend loves me and is willing to reach for me, when I call. My friends' name is God.
I talk to him all the time. Its sort of a mental stream of communication. I thank Him for little things. I thanked him each time a nurse dropped by to see me in the hospital. I thank him for good days and for my grandchildren's laughter.
But, when I hurt, I also talk to him. Some people call this prayer. I simply call it - connectiveness to The Power.
I don't necessarily ask for life shaking miracles but that has its time and place too. But I do thank him for the inner strength he is giving me, and for the right words to say to encourage others.
My friend is particularly there when I am totally alienated from the stream of life.

Weekend Glamour: See 'Do Not Disturb'
If you are looking for something glamorous and low key to do this weekend, I urge you to visit the Michael Hoppen Gallery in Chelsea, London just off of Kings Rd. They are currently host to an exhibition by my all-time favourite photographer, Ellen Von Unwerth. She is one of the most notable and dynamic fashion photographers today. Her work is playful, glamorous, erotic and FASHION all at once! She is famous for being able to get her subjects to feel free and easy while they play around and goof-off on set. The results are always glamorous, high-contrast, and lush!
The gallery is a small one with impeccable taste and it is worth checking back again when they have new exhibitions in. Once their friendly staff buzz you in (it is free by the way), you walk up a creaking staircase to find the upper floor of the gallery, a library-esque small room painted a rich crimson. There are big comfy chairs to relax in and a table in the center of the room for leafing through their great collection of photography books…including many of Von Unwerth's.
The photos are displayed in very large format in beautiful frames on the walls. I like how large they are so that you can really take in all of the beautiful styling and details of the shoot. This particular show called ' Do Not Disturb' features lovely models in lingerie lounging in the many splendored rooms of the Madonna Inn in LA. The design of the rooms is well-known and I would love to stay at such an iconic location! Particularly if I was being shot by Ellen. The first photo above really makes me want pink hair! Enjoy and make sure to visit!

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to phenotypically characterize 14 isolates and study the pan-genome of Salmonella Uganda.
Methods: Intracellular survival of select isolates in human THP-1 macrophages was comparatively assessed using Salmonella Typhimurium. Macrophage proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine markers were quantified postinfection. Whole genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiSeq platform. A high-quality reference genome for Salmonella Uganda CFSAN006159 was generated on the Pacific Biosciences RS II platform.
Results: In THP-1 macrophages, Salmonella Uganda CFSAN006159 recorded a <two-log reduction between two and 168 hours post infection, whereas Salmonella Uganda CFSAN006173 recorded a < one-log reduction over the same time course. Both Salmonella Uganda isolates persisted for seven days within human macrophages, unlike the Salmonella Typhimurium references which were unrecoverable. Infection with SalmonellaUganda stimulated increased cytokine (CXCL8, IL1B and TNF) and chemokine (CCL2, CCL3 and CCL22) release compared to the reference strain.
SPI-13, containing the lgl-ripABC operon in addition to three uncharacterized genes, has currently been reported to be highly upregulated only within macrophages. Salmonella Uganda CFSAN006159, which has been shown in this study to survive readily in THP-1 macrophages in addition to eliciting a large proinflammatory response, uniquely harbours two complete chromosomal copies of SPI-13, located approximately 460-kbp apart. Bioinformatic analyses suggests that these loci appear to have been acquired from distinct genetic lineages. This finding may help explain the extreme pathogenicity of this isolate during infection as a result of gene dosage effect.
Significance: Characterizing the phenotypic virulence and genomic diversity of this serovar further extended our understanding of its ability to illicit a host-cell response during infection.

The Christmas diet in some countries is a pretty, intense one. Rich in meats and certainly not skimping on the processed meat products.
There's ham, there's beef, pork, lamb, turkey and even turkey ham. On the sweet side of things, plenty chocolates, candy, cakes and desserts of all types are offered and served 24/7 everywhere you go. By January 1st you've broken the scale. Without a doubt a detox and a new year's diet is required. Here's how you may get started:
- Swap out your regular carbonated drink and other sweetened beverages with water.
This should help cut back on the sugar and in extension cut back on the calories consumed daily. If you need a smoother transition, try consuming one serving on juice at your first meal on mornings. This way you are more likely to burn some of those calories at the end of the day.
- Breakfast is important
Now that we are on the topic of breakfast, don't skip it! Get your metabolism going first thing in the morning by ensuring that you have breakfast. If you consistently skip breakfast your body will eventually hold on to the Christmas calories since you are not providing it with regular sustenance. Pack in the fibre too. It gets things going.
- Eat regular small portions.
This makes the metabolism less docile as the body has a more regular pattern for digestion. Also, the smaller the meal and the less stuffed you are, the less work your body has to do during the digestion process.
- Little starch and little fat.
Serve smaller portions of starchy foods such as rice, potatoes, pasta and breads. You may also want to avoid fried foods and especially pastries. Instead of serving yourself with the starches first, start with the steamed vegetables and salads. Please note that potato and pasta salad do not apply here.

William T. Gholson is nothing short of an expert when it comes to the boating and automotive industries. He is a dedicated sales professional who understands his clientele to their fullest extent. He knows exactly what the people of his home town want out of all their automotive and boating experiences, and he knows how to sell it to them. He has the professional reputation for being hard working, dedicated, and reliable when it comes to the boating and automotive parts distribution industries. His reputation stands as the foundation on which he was able to build his own company in San Antonio, Texas. He has worked in both the automotive parts and boating industries for over a decade and understands how the business works. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in business from the prestigious institution known as the University of Texas at Austin, which only elevated his status in the industries. Not only does he have a wealth of experience working as a professional in both industries, but he also has invested a vast amount of personal time and interest into the industries as well. Ever since he was a child growing up in San Antonio, Texas, William Gholson remembers boating with his family and friends in the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. He is dedicated to continuing that tradition with his own family and regularly makes trips to the Gulf of Mexico several times a year.
William T. Gholson understands that family comes first before his professional career. He credits his family with his vast amount of success as a salesman because all of his success is for their benefit. He never misses a chance to spend time with his wife and two children whether it be through boating, automobile racing or an interest of their own. He is always willing to spend time with them no matter what kind of work is on his plate at the time. William T. Gholson is only the success that he is today because his parents spent time with him and encouraged his interests. As a child, he loved to spend time on their family boat in the open ocean; an interest that would later be the foundation for his professional success. It was because of their support that he was able to be the successful salesman he is today, and he wants to give his family the same opportunities to grow.

I don't know what to do now. I am sitting here like a fool. I took hours getting prepared. Hair done, nails done, makeup applied by a professional, all that money down the drain. For what? To be sitting here in this place, alone? Abandoned like an old pair of shoes? Why I answered that text I'll never know. He seemed reasonable. Jane knew him to be a good guy. What was she thinking, recommending him to me?
And here I am, angry at both of them, sitting by the side of the road, waiting for my brother. My brother is always reliable, but what will he think of me, here in this place? Dressed up, and sitting in the bushes! I know he'll be upset. I'm just glad I had my phone to call him. He'll come, give me the usual lecture, and take me home safely. I can count on it.
Unlike the creep who left me here. Of course it was my decision to get out of the car. I'm just glad he let me out. He could have forced me to stay with him…..I can't think of it, what could have happened. Jane must not really know him, otherwise how could she have set me up? Or maybe she did set me up, on purpose. You never know who is a true friend these days. He was an obnoxious, self centered, octopus. Rude, and overbearing, and dangerous. So angered by my refusal of his advances, he let me out. I guess I should consider myself lucky to be sitting here after all.
There's my brother coming, finally. I can't wait to get home.

In an article in the BMJ 'Views and Reviews' column this week, Margaret McCartney, a general practitioner in Glasgow, looks at whether the trial to extend breast cancer screening is unethical and if it was government policy to extend screening regardless of the trial's findings and asks, 'do women even know that they are participants?' (of a randomised controlled trial).
The harms of breast screening are now well documented – this further extension of the age range, the 'largest Randomised Controlled Trial in the world', raises many more concerns which are spelt out in the accompanying Rapid Responses.

This issues since it will influence grip on the bottle, and likely to damage electronics you're storing in precisely the same bag as your water bottle if more than enough moisture is formed.
Insulation overall performance, simplicity of use, and an awesome style manufactured this our choose for that best overall water bottle.
" Put it this fashion: Involving the sport leading and the bottle's have medium-diameter mouth, you'll in all probability uncover a comfortable way to consume from a Klean Kanteen. Left with just a broad-mouth Nalgene, you'll in all probability get accustomed to it, but comfort isn't a warranty.
Our top choose for glass bottles was the Takeya Vintage 22 oz. We loved the large cap threads round the major of the bottle, which makes it very easy to open up and close the cap with out lacking the threads.
The Vapur plus the Faucet ended up the one two we analyzed with mouths huge more than enough for ice cubes and for the brush to suit within for comprehensive cleaning.
Broudy was also eager on Liberty Bottleworks' steel bottles — the company statements theirs are the only real American-built steel bottles out there (Klean's are created in China) and that they unscrew in 1 / 4 convert. They're with regards to the exact price as Klean Kanteen Classics, but as a relatively new model their bottles have nevertheless to get place through the paces by reviewers, adventurers, desk jockeys, careless Youngsters and everyone else that has tried out a Klean Kanteen and are available absent content.
The smaller opening of the bottle also comes along with a draw back although–it's slightly awkward to drink out of given that it's sized flawlessly to strike your nose with Every sip.
The loop to the cap makes it straightforward to select up with one finger When your arms are complete carrying other items plus the grip within the cap makes it simple to open up and Check This Out close the lid.
"We live in the desert of Arizona, and for months, we might have higher temperatures inside the hundreds, and lows while in the 90s. We accustomed to undergo plenty of disposable water bottles from the store — two to three cases each week. We were being aiming to obtain a means to continue to keep the benefit of water bottles with no throwing away a great deal plastic, once we bought the main of our Nalgene bottles.
We eradicated the lids and analyzed temperatures Along with the identical this contact form immediate-read digital thermometer we made use of to the cold water exam. Very hot water returned to area temperature much faster when compared to the cold water did, but these bottles performed In keeping with maker claims.
When dropping the glass bottles, we were bracing ourselves for shattered glass all over the place with Every single fall, still no bottles at any time shattered. The silicone sleeves did a good work of absorbing the drop affect.
Glass water bottles eliminate plastic or metallic tastes and chemicals / BPAs. With the ability to see simply how much liquid is left without the need to pick up or open up the bottle is a pleasant perk.
What much better way to remain hydrated each day and your exercises than by bringing alongside a bottle? There are lots of sorts
This bottle fared properly in our fall checks with minimum harm to both the bottom plus the lid. Within the insulation assessments it rated 2nd for cold water, and 3rd For decent water. One downside of any metal bottle would be that the mouth gets warm for the contact just after letting it bake in the vehicle with a hot day.
