The Spalding course as usual was in excellent condition – when we set off - but due to heavy rain before the match and during it was decided only to play 13 holes, nevertheless it was still an enjoyable afternoon with a win for Belton Park of Five and a half to Two and a half.
The full results were;
Colin Mason & Paula Marshall Loss against John Camm & Sue Dewar
Peter & Helen Long Win against Neil Wilkinson & Lizzie Cooke
Derek & Yvonne Bashford Win against Jon Cooke & Chris Vickers

In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.
Administrative Procedures for the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 Categorization—(OMB Control Number 0910-0607; Extension)
A guidance document entitled "Guidance for Administrative Procedures for CLIA Categorization" was released on May 7, 2008. The document describes procedures FDA will use to assign the complexity category to a device. Typically, FDA assigns complexity categorizations to devices at the time of clearance or approval of the device. In this way, no additional burden is incurred by the manufacturer since the labeling (including operating instructions) is included in the 510(k) or Premarket Application. In some cases, however, a manufacturer may request CLIA categorization even if FDA is not Start Printed Page 47602simultaneously reviewing a 510(k) or PMA. One example is when a manufacturer requests that FDA assign CLIA categorization to a previously cleared device that has changed names since the original CLIA categorization. Another example is when a device is exempt from premarket review. In such cases, the guidance recommends that manufacturers provide FDA with a copy of the package insert for the device and a cover letter indicating why the manufacturer is requesting a categorization (e.g. name change, exempt from 510(k) review). The guidance recommends that in the correspondence to FDA the manufacturer should identify the product code and classification as well as reference to the original 510(k) when this is available. The number of respondents is approximately 60. On average, each respondent will request categorizations (independent of a 510(k) or PMA) 15 times per year. The cost, not including personnel, is estimated at $52 per hour (52 x 900) totaling $46,800. This includes the cost of copying and mailing copies of package inserts and a cover letter, which includes a statement of the reason for the request and reference to the original 510(k) numbers, including regulation numbers and product codes. The burden hours are based on FDA familiarity with the types of documentation typically included in a sponsor's categorization requests, and costs for basic office supplies (e.g. paper). The costs have been updated based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates of inflation.
In the Federal Register of May 4, 2010 (75 FR 23781), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.

Spark. We are all born with it, but only a few of us have the courage, imagination and fortitude to let it grow into a flame of our personal best that lights up the world, even long after we move on.
I met Leslie Perry over a year ago. An old, sunny man at a local quirky hangout, The Coffee Gallery, greeted everyone who came in -- friend and stranger alike -- with a big, genuine smile.
We never exchanged a word. Sometimes he was quietly writing, sitting alone with a cup of cooling java. More often though he was talking to or laughing with others, swapping stories and having an apparently great time.
Even to the casual bystander I was then, Leslie is -- and was -- an integral part of our community landscape, and an epicenter of creative energy and deep wisdom, the true value of which I have since come to recognize. He is, and was, a renowned storyteller who built his art on his African-American roots, and transformed it into a treasure box filled with the best of world culture.
Preoccupied with my own stuff, I hadn't stepped out of my way to introduce myself to him until Julie Sandoval, the coffee shop's owner and friend, asked me to join the community efforts to capture Leslie's storyteller legacy in a book of his stories and plays.
I went to a community performance fundraiser towards this cause and left the evening swept off my feet with the creativity and spirit of Leslie, and of the people who loved him.
I also learned of his illness, the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) known better as the Lou Gehrig's disease, and was humbled by the strength of Leslie's life force, his bright Spark, despite of it.
Most of all I was impressed with Leslie's ability to deeply connect with others, regardless of their age, gender, and personal circumstance. Storytelling art and craft are his bridge; an open heart, deep empathy, rich life experience and great sense of humor are his solid pillars. They elevate Leslie's influence above the fears and prejudices that separate us, and leave us ignorant of our own and each others' spark of possibility.
Shortly after we met and became friends, Kalen Tolces, a 21-year old barista at the gallery, connected with Leslie despite – or maybe because of their generational gap. She started visiting him weekly at his assisted-living home. They shared stories and he encouraged her to write more. Their visits inspired them to put together a shared anthology which I volunteered to design and publish.
Proofreading the final draft this afternoon has been a very bittersweet process for me. Diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago with ALS Leslie was given at most 2 years to live. His first book " The Story Man" and now his second and likely the last one: "Wednesdays with Leslie" kept him physically and mentally with us, past his doctor's assigned expiration date.
Today we are 6 months into his overtime countdown. When his swan song is sung, and published, he will likely lose his remaining momentum. Constant excruciating pain all over his body makes everyday harder for him to fight. Reluctant to complete this and put away his reason for holding on, I stalled the book's design, now I see maybe too long. I hope we'll make the publish date when he can still experience and enjoy it.
74-years old -- Kalen's grandfather's and my father's age -- Leslie brought into our lives qualities so hard to find today: patience in listening, openness in understanding without judgment, candor with respect in speaking up, drive for perfection, desire to give of himself, hunger for knowledge and ideas, and tenacious perseverance in face of his own pain and mortality that would have stopped most in their tracks.
No matter where the Spark takes Leslie next, or where he takes his Spark … I am forever grateful for having been a part of the kindling to stoke and fan his creative flames out to the world at large.

I saw this on another blog awhile ago and thought it would be fun to post today on our anniversary. Take a look at the short slide show I put together of just the two of us.
1. Where/How did you meet? We met in our Junior year of high school (we attended different schools) at Campus Life, a non-denominational youth group similar to Campus Crusade.
2. How long have you known each other? About 16 yrs.
3. How long after you met did you start dating? John was interested in me awhile before I knew about it. We hung around with the same group of friends from Campus Life and had fun together as friends.
4. How long did you date before you were engaged? We dated for 5 years all-together, although I would have preferred getting married sooner. John wanted to concentrate on college and graduate first which in the long run was a good idea.
5. How long was your engagement? Two years. He proposed in November of 1995 (partly because my grandma was dying and we wanted her to know) and got married in May of 1997 right after John graduated.
6. How long have you been married? 10 years
7. What is your anniversary? May 3
8. How many people came to your wedding reception? We had an average size reception but fairly simple held in the church fellowship hall.
9. What kind of cake did you serve? We had a wonderful cake that everyone commented on. Each layer was a different flavor but the only one I really remember is chocolate with apricot crème filling. Yum!
10. Where was your wedding? A beautiful Reformed Church in a quaint town. We did not attend there but selected that location because honestly I didn't like the look of my own plain church. It also worked well as they had a large fellowship hall to accommodate us where our church was not large enough.
11. What did you serve for your meal? We had it catered by a lady who made everything so beautiful with baskets for the foods and such. Our wedding was a garden-type theme and I only remember a few things so I know we had orange chicken on skewers, tortellini salad, finger foods and salads. I was too nervous to eat anything and only picked at my food. I was so thankful that my Mom packed a couple of plates full of food to take along that night. I was starving by the time we got to our hotel!
12. How many people were in your wedding party? We had 8 people. My sister was my Maid of Honor and my Aunt and a good friend were bridesmaids. John had two friends and my cousin stand up with him. We had a sweet little flowergirl and my cousin was the ring bearer.
13. Are you still friends with them all? For the most part. One of the groomsmen moved away so we haven't seen them in a long time.
14. Did your spouse cry during the ceremony? Yes, but not nearly as much as I did.
15. Most special moment of your wedding day? The most special moment was my Dad walking me down the aisle. We had the song "Butterfly Kisses" (before it became popular for weddings) sung before I walked down. Dad and I stood in the back and he had a really hard time which didn't help me any. As we stood in the doorway ready to go both of us had shed quite a few tears but he was all smiles and held me tightly as we walked together arm in arm.
16. Any funny moments? Not that I can recall.
17. Any big disasters? The only thing that went wrong was that I didn't get the cake design that I had ordered. I walked in the reception hall that morning and asked whose cake that was because it didn't look anything like I asked for. Thankfully we had extra flowers to fill in for some color as it was more on the plain side. I had wanted lilac type flowers draping down the sides but it was just plain white basket weave. The flavors of the layers were correct for the most part except that they made one layer poppy seed which we hadn't wanted since my Dad and Grandma cannot eat them.
18. Where did you go on your honeymoon? We spent the first night at a hotel across from the airport as we had to catch a really early flight to
19. How long were you gone? A week.
20. If you were to do your wedding over.... I would change the bridesmaids dresses as I didn't like how they turned out (someone made them after looking at a picture I liked) as they didn't look much like the picture. I would have stressed to the florist to have a
21. What is your song? We don't really have a song. When we started dating the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner was new so the love song from that reminds me of that time. The song we had sung at our wedding was by Steve Green, called "Til the End of Time" and that says it all.
22. Describe your wedding dress. It was fairly simple and elegant. The bottom was a light chiffon that floated beautifully. The top was made of appliqué lace that covered the heart-shaped form of the simple top. My veil was a floral type thick headband.
23. What kind of flowers did you have at your wedding? I had white tulips, lavender freesia, pink stephanotis with pearls in the centers and ivy flowing down. The bridesmaids had dark purple irises, pink daisies, a bright yellow freesia, purple statis, and bright pink kolanchoe. (I loved their flowers!)
Today we look much the same, maybe a bit older. My hairstyle has been in constant change over my lifetime so that we can tell what year it is based on my hairstyle so of course that has changed. My husband had gained a bit of weight over the years but has taken that off in the past year so he looks much the same but he gets more handsome with age to me!

I should be writing a review of The Golden Compass, but I'm not going to. Because I'm a rebel. Instead, I'm going to write about why I'm not writing a review of the The Golden Compass.
I'm not writing a review on that book because I didn't enjoy it much, but it's not a simple as that. And from time to time (almost every time), that sort of thing makes me feel like I'm awful and that there is something wrong with me. I run into this problem more than I'd care to admit, because once I start most books, unless I find them to be incredibly awful, or off putting, I will hate read it. Because I finish what I start, damnit.
For the purposes of exploring that idea, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass isn't the best example. Matthew Mather's Cyberstorm would be ideal; as of right now the book has four thousand three hundred seventy two reviews on Amazon. Fifty percent of them are five star, thirty six percent are four star, nine percent are three star, three percent are two star, and a single percent is one star. I firmly believe this book belongs in the one star category.
I picked up this book initially because another author I liked recommended it on his blog. After a couple chapters in, I wanted to put the book down. But I didn't, telling myself that it would probably pick up. Maybe in a chapter or two more, it would really start to shine. It never got better, so I hate read it, because I finish what I start, damnit.
So I finished the book and found myself wondering, "How the hell did two thousands one hundred eighty six people like this book enough to give it five stars?" The characterization was awful, mind-bogglingly impossible things happened, the writing was a clunky stream of consciousness, and in general, the book was pretty poorly written. Clearly there must be something wrong with me if eighty six percent of the people who read this book thought it was above average.
Actually, no there isn't. Why could that be? Well, there are a few reasons:
- Consumer vs. Craftsman:
Some people consume; some people create. I've found that it's much easier for me to consume and enjoy material when I don't work with that medium. When you think about it, this makes sense. As a craftsman, you invest yourself in something and hone your skill and understanding. This makes spotting errors or mistakes easier and forces you to develop a more defined personal style.
- Rate of Consumption:
Ok, so I just said that that consumers have an easier time appreciating that which they consume but do not craft. While this is remains mostly true, if you consume large amounts of a specific media, you begin to understand that media through sheer exposure. For example, I spent six months working for Blockbuster and I did not have cable. I watched a significant amount of movies. As a result, I dislike watching most movies now. I find most of them to be formulaic and predictable. The same can be said of books, and I read rather frequently.
- Positive Fading:
Positive Fading is the psychological phenomenon where negative emotions are more quickly forgotten than positive ones (check it out). It's important to note that this phenomenon isn't as readily observed in those suffering from depression, and while I'm not full-on depressed, depression is something I'm no stranger to.
- Different Tastes:
I read books to escape, to imagine, to live another life, and as a result I cannot stand overly descriptive writers. Nothing kills my immersion quicker than having every detail of a world laid before me.
These are just a few possible reasons. There are many more, such as emotion, shared experience, and personal preference to name just a few. The important thing though, is that it's ok to not like something someone else does as long as you're not a jerk about it. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you, it just means you have different opinions.
Have you ever read something that everyone else loved, but you only thought was eh? Leave a comment and let me know about it.

Have you ever tried looking for job around manila? if you hav'nt yet, then a big "good luck"! to you. Everybody knows how hard it was looking and searching for job in any places here in the Philippines or even abroad. From the very first step of searching up on classified ads section on the news paper or on the internet using search engine like google or job searching site like jobstreet.ph and Indeed.com in which are a stressful already, up to updating your resume, up to preparing your clothes for everyday's interview, up to the job hunting phase itself wherein, you would walk miles and miles from one agency to another company, from one jeepney terminal to another lrt station. Walking under the heat of the sun are like endless. Waiting in line are like forever. Your feet are getting sore and it feels like your wearing a horse shoe. You are literally "wet look" because your sweat are all over your hair, back and armpit. Your smell are getting worse. Your mood are getting bad and you feel like giving up and just wanted to go back home and would be just continue on any other day because you are already tired and about to pass out.. But since you are a Filipino, and you are so determined of getting a job on that day, despite of all the difficulty and tiring process of hunting for job, you will not just quit that easy and you would finish it until late afternoon wherein, most of companies are already stop accepting walk in applicants. So what makes it even harder than it is sounds like is something that i will tell on the next paragraph. I will tell you about me my cousin's experience looking for job around Manila and more likely to give you some few tips and advise like do's and dont in job hunting in Manila.
Searching Job Online:
So there was this one lame afternoon, Me and my cousin searching for a job on the internet, so i googled the key word "job in manila" then there were tons of results that showed up. job searching site like jobstreet.ph and Indeed.com are the most common results we came up to. Ofcourse we are expecting a list of companies hiring for their positions ut rather most of them are names of recruitment firm or known as "agency". to those newly graduate and dont know about agencies, they are the people who will help you to find the most suited job and position for you based on your skill, qualification and location. they usually gain profit from the company that hired you or a little deduction or percentage from your total monthly salary so dont worry coz they wont ask any fee's from you during the recruitment phase.Though you have to beware and be carefully observant around if there's something not right happening because, there are some agencies who are not trustworthy and will ask you for payment and fee's even without having assurance for a job contract yet. (will discuss this matter on next paragraph.
Time management & preparation:
Early at 5am in the morning we raise up from bed, finished our breakfast by 5:30 and bath done by 6am. In 10 minutes, i was ready to go but my cousin's hair, makeup and cloths fitting had took her almost 30 minutes long so i had no choice but to wait for her then we left the house at around 6:30am. while walking going to jeepney station, i ask her if she already has her resume printouts and 2×2 photos ready, and she answered me "no' with a big smile and i was like "she's incredible"!. So we had to stop for a while at the printing cafe just to have her resume printed out which took us like 15 minuites more and then after, we had gone to photo studio to have her 2×2 photo taken which took us another 20 minuites more. After everything we did, It's 15 minuites before 8am when we had to rushed ourselves to go to the fx terminal that will bring us to cubao which is our final destination. but before that we had to buy a bottled water which is the one of the most essential thing to have while on travel in order to avoid dehydration and replenish the water you loss during perspiration due to hot weather. The fx drop us at farmers cubao and from there we had to look for a comfort room because my cousin had to pee. i was like "here she goes again"!. we almost wasted so much time on things that should have done ahead of time. Afterwards, we begun searching the exact address where the office is located at. And by around 9 am we had arrived at the office named "Alpha link global" so i told my cousin to immediately go in and present her resume at the front desk. I waited for her outside then not too long after she go out of the office and told me that the agency told her that it was a bpo recruitment agency and has no position for office staff to offer for her. since my cousin doesn't want to be in the bpo industry, we decided to have our lunch for a moment then go to our next destination afterwards.
Agencies in Cubao:
Since the first agency that we had gone to is only for applicants who is willing to be in the bpo industry (though their ads on the internet tells different) we had to go to another agency which is also in located in farmers cubao not too far away from "Alpha link global" where we came from first. It's name is "MLF Manpower company". The agency offer many positions from janitor to office staff and ect. as written on their ads on the internet. So we found the office and what we saw outside is a bunch of applicant waiting in line and for their name to be called. Me and my cousin fell in line and had some chat with other applicants in order to kill the time. One of the applicants told us that they had been waiting for very long already by the time we arrived. He said that the office requires every applicant to had their medical exam first even without an assurance for a job contract yet. So the catch is that every applicant had to pay for the medical exam fee's of 950 pesos as the very first step of their recruitment process. I'm not sure, but i thought medical exam always comes as the very last part of the recruitment process in any company. Having hearing that, Me and my cousin had a second though of proceeding with our application and decided to leave and just go home, and probably continue the job hunting on another day.
Travel via LRT/ MRT:
A few weeks after, Me and my cousin decided to go to makati since most of the agencies offices are located there, either in ayala or buendia as what we saw on the internet. We submitted our resume via job street and indeed, then a day or two, we received their text message inviting my cousin for an interview on their office. the good thing about it is that the two agency who is inviting us for an interview is on the same location so we can go to the other agency after the other without the hassle of going back and forth to different places which could cost a lot on your budget. So all the way from antipolo, we traveled and had decided to rode the MRT line transit in order to avoid traffic and get there on time. Im not sure when was the last time i rode a train via LRT/MRT, but what im sure of is that it was before the new ticketing system has implemented. So upon arrival at the MRT cubao station. We fell in line to the ticket vending machine to buy a single journey ticket. And when it was my turn to use the machine, i was shock by it's new look. It has an LCD touch screen where you have to press and operate it on your own and insert your coin or bills into the cash slot. its very much different from the old machine i used to operate before wherein you only have to press buttons that has an equivalent destinations and prices for each. So Me and my cousin took so much time operating the machine since were just getting use into it as it was both our first encounter to the new machine. We took even more time because the machine keeps on rejecting my coins so you have to reinsert all the coins you had previously inserted and start the transaction all over again. After three attempt, we made it, and im sure the people in line were like "finally!" (hahaha.)
So we got our ticket. and its time to use it in order for us to pass through the rail machine. The rail machine looks very much similar than the old one but when it\s my turn to get through, i was not able to pass through the rail because i was using my card the wrong way. my cousin suggested to try flipping the card back and front and still didn't work. fortunately, a security guard told us that were sweeping the card on the wrong sensor. instead, it should be sweep on the first glass panel and not on the on the panel that displaying the arrow sign. So afterwards, we had successfully able to get in. On the terminal where all the passenger waits for the train and where the train stop to fetch the passenger, the terminal is divided into three parts. One for Male passenger, other one for Female and another one for senior citizens. since my cousin dont want to separate from me, she decided to go with me along with all the male passengers were at. The train arrived and i was not anymore surprise when i saw the train was fully loaded with passengers inside every train. the door opened and we were rushing to get in because there were a lot of passenger that needed to get in even though passengers inside the train were almost skin to skin and five inches close on each others faces and i could even smell their breaths and odor. Whats even worse is that the air-conditioning system of the train is not anymore effective due to so much number of passenger inside so i was sweating the entire time while standing until we drop off to the buendia station.
Agencies in Makati:
So we had arrived in makati. the "Maximun Solution" office is our destination and it is located in Buendia which is near or walking distance from the MRT buendia station. We search the 395 accelerando building where the office is located at. most buildings along side are very identical to each other so you have to check each buildings name. After we had found the building, we enter and the guard lead us to the 4th floor where the "Maximun Solution" office is located at. It was lunch break when we arrived and we have to wait until 1pm for the office to resume. While waiting we had some chat with some other applicants. A guy shared his experience seeking job in cubao and we found out that he also had the same encounter with agencies who is asking applicant to pay for medical fee's of 950 pesos even without the assurance of getting hired yet. But what more shocking is that it was a different agency he was talking about aside from the agency that me and my cousin encountered few weeks ago. Therefore, we discovered that there are really more agencies who do this kind of recruitment and not only one. Im not sure about their way of recruitment but defenitly its not right that you let your applicant pay and undergo medical exam without the having undergo the final interview or final screening process directly in the company that would hire them. because in case the applicant failed to get hired, the money that these applicant supposedly for seeking job on the following days had already spent on the medical exam which supposedly the last part of the hiring process.
So what happened at the "Maximun Solution" are interview and a little exam. there are only few applicants that day so we finished early. My cousin told me that the office will email her once they found the most convinient location of work that is near around her home address. So we decided to go home and since we our MRT experience is not very good. We decided to take a bus instead going to cubao but since it was traffic at edsa at around 4:30pm. It took us almost an hour of travel form buendia to cubao. and from cubao we took FX going to antipolo and finally were able to get back home by around 7pm.

Lately I feel as if I'm desperately clawing my way up and out of a rabbit hole. Except I can't even see the light so I'm probably just digging sideways into some other bunny's dark abode. Shelby, my apologies for disappearing from the blogosphere and our sofa sessions. Eventually, I have to catch a break. I WILL find a fantastic new job. I WILL catch up on all my blog subscriptions so that I feel somewhat prepared to blog, too. I WILL figure out how to cope with some of the shit that keeps landing on my head when I'm not stepping in a big pile of it first. Dammit [Life], damn you to hell.
P.S. There are only 810 posts to go AFTER a couple hours at it this morning.

Nathan Crisp, 34, has been charged with assault after allegedly twice throwing 27-year-old Sheneik
McCallum to the ground in front of her children during a row over her parking on Easter Sunday.
Rather than being booked in at a police station, he was given a desk ticket and sent on his way ahead of a court appearance on May 2 – something McCallum says is 'disrespectful'.
Speaking to the press Thursday, she said, 'You know, to get a desk appearance ticket after you slam me to the floor… he could have broke my back, I could have been dead in front of my own two kids.
'I feel like it's unreasonable and it's disrespectful. That's all I have to say.'
Crisp – whose now deleted LinkedIn page says he is vice president of revenue management and distribution at Trump Hotels – is accused of flying into a rage after Ms McCallum pulled over outside his building to check her baby was secured in its car seat.
Ms McCallum said she pulled over outside the affluent Brooklyn apartment block to check on her child when Crisp shouted at her to get off the private property, where condos cost up to $6,000 a month.
He is claimed to have blocked in the young mother's car with his own vehicle before attacking her, community advocate Tony Herbert told the New York Daily News.
Police say Crisp threw her to the ground twice during the heated exchange on Sunday. Crisp furiously denied the allegations, saying: 'I am totally innocent of all charges and look forward to defending this matter in court at which time I am confident that I will be fully vindicated.
I don't see/read all these fake A** celebrities boycotting these racist organisations... Immigrant Donald Trump has made known how much hate/racism there is in U.S.A...

Remember the families on Sept. 11th and our a.m.e churches in new york citygreenspun.com : LUSENET : A.M.E. Today Discussion : One Thread
As wednesdday Sept. 11th quickly approaches let us focus on the families that lost loved ones on that horrific day. Let us remember our firefighters and police officers who lost their lives. Let us remember our A.M.E churches in new york city as they prepare to honor the anniversary of Sept. 11th. And let us remember all people in New York city who will relive the events over again in their minds on that day. I hope we all will remember that this is a day to draw near to God. Also we must help our children cope with this devasting event, and teach them to rely on the strength of God. Let us grieve together as the body of Christ, and the politics and other such matters will be taken care of by God. Lift Christ high for we need him so much for a time such as this.

I live in Indy and work on the IUPUI campus. There will be different services on the campus. The President of the University has asked for a moment of silence at noon.
Churches of all demoninations are coming together at one of the memorials for a service.
As was said remember the children. They will probably see things on the television recapturing the moment, it could mislead them into thinking it is happening all over again.
My heart grieves for so many people. And right now we are facing war. I guess there is no good time for war; but this timing is bound to have major emotional impact on grieving families.
If ever we need to come together and seek God's face. It is now.

Carmen thank you for the update about your universities plans. Here at Montana State University there are also plans for a rememberence. Also our interfaith counsel is holding a service, our church will participate. I hope we all will pray for peace on that day.

I was on the campus of IUPUI in 1985 as a guest of a friend espousing an economic topic which I have since forgotten (seems like Madame CJ Walker comes to mind). If you were working on campus at that time perhaps you might recall my visit :-) If not, I'm sure the Indy 500, Indianapolis Colts or even former Vice-President Dan Quayle were enough to occupy your attention. If I'm not mistaken the AME General Conference in 2004 will take place in Indianapolis, IN. My plans are to attend Gen Con even if I'm not a delegate. Oh, speaking of the Colts, I do hope your new football coach, a God-fearing man, Tony Dungy, maintains continued success on the football field. QED

My wonderful sister Carmen, I must warn you when Bill starts talking about visiting a place, it usually means you will have to feed him. Now I know Jerryl did say when Bill came to texas he did not eat him out of house and home. But Jerryl is a very diplomatic man and we may never know the truth. Alas Carmen if Bill is coming to your neck of the woods you will have to start stocking up now!!

Dear Rev. Denise I may be there before Bro. Bill. Sister Carmen the 4th District is having its Indianapolis Annual Conference Starting Monday Sept. 16th. Both Rev. Dr. Santucci and I will be there. Can you recommend some restaurants for 2 island boys over on Connectional Business from Bermuda?
In the meantime. We will be praying for all of the families who have had their lives forever changed since 9/11. God Be with you. Bro. Bill I look forward to being at Gen. Conference too. Let's plan some dining.
-- Anonymous, September 08, 2002
I don't go out to eat much, but we have many places to dine. If you can let me know exactly what type of food you are looking for, I will recommend a place for you and your friend before you arrive.
And yes, we are very proud of the coach of the Colts.

Protect Against Workplace Fatigue
October 6, 2016
In the United Kingdom, there are more than 3.5 million shift workers in a variety of industries, such as emergency services, healthcare, transport, manufacturing, entertainment and retail. However, when long working hours that do not allow for adequate rest and recovery are coupled with poorly designed shift-working arrangements, shift workers could experience fatigue. Like with any other hazard, fatigue needs to be properly managed or it could result in accidents, injuries and ill health. In fact, according to the HSE, fatigue-related work accidents cost the United Kingdom an estimated £115 to £240 million a year.
To ensure that your organisation's schedule arrangements allow your employees to get the necessary amount of sleep and provide workers with a safe working environment, follow these five guidelines:
To supplement the five guidelines above, be sure to utilise the HSE's Fatigue Risk Index Calculator, which can assess each employee's risks and working patterns. The tool makes it possible to create shift schedules that minimise fatigue risks and can be found at: www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr446.htm.

Good morning.
Our beautiful summer like weather is slowing coming to an end. High today in the low 70's, but by Saturday, only mid 50's. It was nice while we had it. :-)
Now on to the water heater. Michigan Plumbing came out in the morning, studied the situation, and decided since it's not venting into the house every time the air is running, there must be another factor at play here. He suggested wind might occasionally be blowing into the vent cover creating a negative pressure keeping the water heater from venting normally. He said to contact the furnace installer and ask if another type of vent cap is available. If the furnace guy doesn't think that's an issue, they'd be happy to replace our water heater. But for the expense, we should try all other possible ideas. I thanked them, and they left. In the afternoon, Moore plumbing came over. He also checked everything out, thought it was possible air could be sucked down the exhaust and said a self contained water heater would eliminated the issue. The cost? $2200.00.
I thanked him for coming out, and said I'd think about it.
Sooo, I think I'll call the furnace guy first and see if there's any chance the wind might be causing problems with the vent. I'm sure he'll say it couldn't, but it never hurts to ask. :-)
The rest of the day, I blew and vacuumed leaves. They're coming down pretty fast, and the trees haven't even completely turned yet. Very odd.
Craig returned home from the eye doctor. His overall vision hadn't changed much, but his reading did. So new lenses are in order. He also decided on the new frames. With the discounts he got, the exam, frames and lenses ended up costing $550.00. Not bad, really, since we don't have vision insurance.
And now, another work week. Looks to be fairly busy. That's good, we have glasses and possibly a new water heater to pay for. :-)

Perhaps you can make or find a different style vent cap if the furnace guy is no help. Something to just change how the one you have works, I mean.ReplyDelete
But if they can't help you, how much would the system be from Michigan Plumbing? I'd be tempted to go with him, just because he tried to save you some money first.
That sounds like a really good price on the vision package, too.
Have a great week!

NEWPORT NEWS — Following the most successful season in school history, Denbigh is starting over — and pretty much from scratch. While that could mean more losses than wins Friday nights, it also brings a degree of exhilaration going into Friday's opener against Tabb.
"We're excited," said Patriots coach Marcellus Harris III, who led Denbigh to its first playoff win last fall. "Immediately at the end of the year, we started thinking about what direction we'd be able to go with all the guys who have left.

A triple point for Laffer/Crier/Economy curves?
Here is a simple thought experiment that proves that the peak of the Laffer Curve cannot be at a lower tax rate than the peak of the economy:
Imagine yourself standing at the peak of the Laffer Curve. To your right are higher tax rates, to your left are lower. Look to your right-toward higher tax rates. What do you see? Decreasing government revenue. Since the tax rate is increasing, but government revenue is shrinking (or even flat), the economy has to be shrinking as well. If the economy were flat, revenue would grow as the tax rate increased, and you would not be at the Laffer peak. Thus, under any conditions the economy is shrinking to the right of the peak of the Laffer Curve. This holds even if the peak of the Laffer Curve is at 100%-obviously the peak of the economy cannot be at a higher tax rate than that!
Thus, under any conditions the economy is shrinking to the right of the peak of the Laffer Curve.
The identical argument applies to the Crier Curve and the peak Economy. Imagine yourself standing at the peak of the economy curve. To your right are higher tax rates and lower economic output. In that direction, the taxpayer is keeping a smaller percentage of a smaller number, and thus the Crier Curve is shrinking. The peak of the Crier Curve cannot be at a higher tax rate than the peak of the economy.
This leads to the weak formulation of my theory:
tc is less than or equal to te is less than or equal to tg
The strong formulation drops the "or equal" formulation and depends on continuity. A simple explanation is that a function is continuous at the point in question if the slope of the function is the same from below (a lower tax rate) as it is from above (a higher tax rate). I have proven above that if you were standing on economy curve at the Laffer peak tax rate and looked right, the economy would be shrinking. Continuity means that if you look left, toward lower taxes, the economy would appear to be growing at the same rate as it is shrinking to the right. Continuity requires that the economy be bigger to the left of the the peak of the Laffer Curve. Using the same logic, it also requires that the Crier be growing to the left of the peak economy.
There may be a tax function that enables a triple point where all three peaks exist at the same tax rate. But like the triple point of of helium, this economic triple point is not going to exist on this planet outside of a laboratory.

The more I think about this, the more I think you've gotten a great result. (I'm referring to the original post a few days ago which you're elucidating further today).ReplyDelete
Another thought experiment occurred to me as I was thinking about the original post. It doesn't prove your result, but it does put you in the right frame of mind. Ask someone: Where do you want the economy's wealth to reside? Do you want it to stay in the pockets of the people (t_c), the pockets of government (t_g), or remain in the economy at large (t_e)?
Again, I recognize that this is not a scientific point of view, and it does not follow from your result, but maybe it's a good intuitive way to introduce someone to the idea that the money in an economy can be controlled by the people, controlled by the government, or left to ride in the economy itself. Choose your preference and target your tax accordingly.
Thanks for your comments, and I agree-it is imprtant to recognize the relationship between the three competing interests when discussing what the "ideal" tax rate is.
This is going to be a topic of a future post-although you've stolen my thunder. :-)
When you say "the peak of the economy" do you mean the maximum rate of growth for the economy or do you mean the highest possible gross GDP?ReplyDelete
I mean the highest possible gross GDP. This is a static analysis; time effects are not considered.
Thanks for your comment.

Former Red Deer Rebels netminder Dustin Schwartz is joining the Western Hockey League front office.
The WHL announced Thursday they have hired Schwartz as their new Goaltending Consultant.
In his new part-time role, the league says the 38-year-old Stettler native will be responsible to oversee the WHL Goaltending Advisory Committee, which will consist of representatives from the four Western Canada provincial hockey associations (BC Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Saskatchewan Hockey Association and Hockey Manitoba), goaltending coaches from WHL Clubs in each of the Western provinces and a WHL Hockey Operations staff member.
Schwartz will work closely with the four Western provincial hockey associations to implement a development plan for the top U14, U15 and U16 goaltenders within the minor hockey development system. Additionally, he will be a participating member of the National Goaltending Advisory Group along with other Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and Hockey Canada goaltending representatives.
Schwartz played in 129 regular season games in the WHL with Medicine Hat and Red Deer from 1996-97 through 1999-00. Following his graduation from the WHL, he spent five seasons with the University of Alberta Golden Bears of the Canada West Universities Athletics Association (CWUAA) where he utilized his WHL Scholarship to obtain degrees in both Physical Education and Education.
Following his playing days, Schwartz has served as the Goaltending Consultant for the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings since the 2010-11 season, helping the club claim two WHL Championships (2012, 2014) as well as a Memorial Cup title in 2014. Midway through the 2014-15 campaign, he was appointed Goaltending Coach for the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, a role he still holds. He has also provided instruction at Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence Goaltending Camp, which brings together netminders vying for invites to U17, U18 and U20 summer camps. In 2013, he was a member of Hockey Canada's gold-medal winning coaching staff at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup.

Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, in the spring, and Sarah shall have a son."
Genesis 18:14 RSV
What's your favorite season? You know, I enjoy all of them for one reason or another, but if I had to pick one for my favorite, it would be the spring. Now I do enjoy the winter, sort of, but as I sit here and look out the window in my study I can see just a little bit of snow left on the mountain tops, my tulips blooming, and quail, songbirds, robins and doves eating out of my feeder. I like to call spring the time of new beginnings, because so much happens in so short of a time. I can see buds appearing on my trees, the robins have returned from wherever it is they go in the winter, the ground is turning green, and of course it looks like today I will have to see if the lawn mower survived the winter because the grass on my lawn is growing again.
If one was to do a study of the events listed for us in the Bible, it would appear that God ordained many events to occur in the spring as well. It is especially interesting to see how many of those events could be identified with the idea of a new beginning. In the passage above, God has visited Abraham and Sarah and told them that Sarah was to have a son. He also tells them that He will return to see them when that happens, and even tells them the season; spring! If you look closely at the Hebrew you will find that in this particular case, the RSV translates it best, because if you take the two words mowed and chay together in the same phrase you understand spring is identified as the season this event will occur.
mow`ed : 1) appointed place, appointed time, meeting
chay : 1) living, alive, a) green (of vegetation), b) flowing, fresh (of water), c) lively, active (of man), d) reviving (of the springtime)
Since Abraham is told he would become the father of the nation of Israel, the birth of Isaac began the fulfillment of that prophecy and as we see, it began in the spring.
We also find in the book of Exodus that the deliverance of the nation of Israel from bondage in Egypt occurred in the spring. The first three feasts of Israel, Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits all occur in the first month on the Jewish calendar which normally begins around the end of March or the beginning of April on our calendar, and is called Nisan or Abib.
And Moses said to the people: "Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten. "On this day you are going out, in the month Abib.
Exodus 13:3,4 NKJV
Of course, of greater interest to us as believers is the fact that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ occurred at the time of these three feasts as well. If you recall, Jesus celebrated passover with His disciples, was then arrested, crucified, and then rose again on the third day which was the Feast of Firstfruits.
Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, "You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
Matthew 26:1,2 NKJV
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.
Matthew 28:1,2 NKJV
Now you talk about the idea of spring being a time of new beginnings, how important could the fact be that our deliverance occurred in the spring? Do you really think so many things happening in the spring is just coincidence? If you think it may be, why not look at another event that is certainly significant to all believers. Just fifty days after the resurrection, on the Feast of Pentecost, something else rather important happened as well; the birth of the Church.
When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:1,2 NKJV
Do you begin to see what I mean about the spring being the most interesting season? The Bible is full of "new beginning" type events which occur in the spring. Is it possible then that the rapture of the church could occur in the spring season? If it did, it would certainly fit in with the idea of a new beginning type event happening the same time as so many others have. So in light of this, I saved the best for last. You remember the children of Israel being delivered out of Egypt? What did God have planned for them? That's right, they were headed to the promised land. Do you know when they got there?
And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before. Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.
Joshua 4:18,19 NKJV
Here we are again! Back to the first month, the spring, the time of new beginnings. God delivered the children of Israel into the promised land on the tenth day of the first month. Is it possible this is also a picture of when the church will enter her "promised land"? Could spring be the season of the rapture ? If you know me by now you understand I believe the rapture of the church could happen at anytime, so I would never attempt to predict a certain "day" for it to occur. As far as choosing a "season" though, I would be very comfortable choosing the spring as the season where it might happen. Am I looking up? Oh you bet I am! With everything else that is happening in the world right now you have to believe we are so very close. That nearness, however, prompts me to ask you this question. If you have come to this point in your life and not made a decision to accept the free gift of salvation offered to you by our Saviour Jesus Christ, don't you think it would be a good idea to do it now?.
One last thing. I know many of you who follow this blog are curious about the subject of numbers and how they are used in the Bible. You also know by now that while I find that subject intriguing, it's not something I am led to pursue. But for those of you who are, here is a "freebie". If the children of Israel entered the promised land on the tenth of the month, then their first full day of their new life was the eleventh. If the church were to be raptured following this example, then our first full day in heaven would be the eleventh as well. According to the Jewish calendar, this year that could be written 1-11-11. Since many believe that the Bible uses the number one as the number signifying new beginnings, isn't it interesting that this year all those "ones" could line up? Oh, and if you are wondering, the eleventh day of the first month would be Wednesday/Thursday of this week. No, again I'm not predicting anything, but isn't it fun to study the Word of God? I hope to see you soon.
Keep watching.

Fresh 7 install (x64) network printer won't install
OK...here's a good one. I know I'm missing one setting, one trick.
Installed my new SSD yesterday, clean install 7 pro x64.
I have two printers at home, both of which I used flawlessly before this new SSD and fresh install.
I am the administrator of the machine and turn off UAC.
I originally moved the temp and tmp directories to a second hdd, and since moved them back to the ssd. (Read that it that fixed it somewhere)
Both printers are networked.
One is an old trusty HP 4050N connected via LPT to a DLink DP300U print server.
Add it as a local TCP/IP printer, change the queue settings to match the printer settings, and add the HP 4050 driver. I get an error message (That I've researched over and over) I'm attaching it later.
Second is an HP Photosmart Plus (209a) that I have the latest drivers for, and is attached wirelessly. The HP bloatware/software sees it, detects it...but right before it adds it, it stops...with the same error message.
I edited the local security policy to enable the local administrator account status (I was an administrator before this).
Both printers give me the same error message. As said...they worked just fine on the install prior.
Here's the error message:
|My System Specs

can you connect the printers directly to the machine and see if they install??
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2010
Gonna try next.
Frustrating it's the same error or each machine, regardless of the connection or type.
I think I'm missing something...not sure where.
I have two other PCs on my LAN, one is 7 Home the other is XP...both see them fine.

Printers hate me and my feeling is mutual towards them now days :P
Regardless I have 2 printers and 10 pcs on my network...
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2010
Direct install (Via LPT) still no luck.
I removed the print server, connected a LAN cable directly to the printer. Changed the settings on my other computer here, 7 home...and it is still printing fine.
My computer, no go. Does not finish the install.
Went to WU, found a new driver, downloads, errors on the install.
Stopped WU service, deleted update history, started service...redownloaded driver from MS and still same thing.
I pretty much refuse to do a clean install again...I just did it last night. This is silly...and it worked before and it still works on another computer!!
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2010
Well...just goes to show you sometimes you should leave things alone.
I moved both temp directories (tmp and temp) back to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP and the printers installed just fine.
I didn't do anything else.
SO...fixed...and an FYI for all.

Part 1 can be found here. This is how I remember it…
The event started and they were nowhere to be seen. I put it out of my mind and enjoyed the praise and worship with a dear sister beside me. Then, about halfway through the third song, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the brother and sister come in through the side doors. My heart gave a little leap and I couldn't help but smile and shake my head. He came! We barely spoke that night but I remember being slightly embarrassed when the guest band turned out to be of the 'head-banging' type (seriously, I don't get how someone could understand whatever Christian message they were trying to get through by their music!) and apologising to him for it. Sadly, they were only able to stay for half of the sermon but I was still glad that they were able to make it. I felt like it was such a great achievement and was mentally patting myself on the back for somehow being the catalyst to get him there.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we somehow ended up chatting on MSN (so old-school!) or sending text messages back and forth on the mundane everyday things. I didn't think too much about it because in my mind, the goal was to get him to know Christ and I thought it was important we became friends before I could really talk to him on that level. I remember the I HEART REVOLUTION being played in the cinemas and I really wanted to go. He had a car. Need I say more? We were going with two of my friends however, they were majorly late so we spent a fair bit of time just waiting outside the cinemas and chatting. Who knows what about but given that he was so aloof when I saw him at church, I thought we were making progress.
He was the first guy that gave me chocolate… well, he was the first guy (outside of family or family friends) that gave me a gift at all. And for any possible occasion. You can probably see where this is going but in my naivety, I didn't connect the dots.
I put it all down to him being the sweet, kind and considerate guy that I always knew he was underneath that 'too cool for you' attitude. To be honest, I did develop feelings (beyond friendship) for him but the cold reception that I received when we were in the company of others, sent me mixed signals. In addition, when I did try to talk about God and my relationship with Jesus, I was met with a blank expression or sensed a lack of interest. Knowing that He didn't love My Jesus the way I adored Him, I backed down and settled into what I thought was a good platonic relationship.
Little did I know…

Great stuff on the Kershaw. I'm just like you and think that type of stuff is hilarious. Isn't it amazing the things they do to entertain themselves during games?ReplyDelete

No matter how funny (that was hilarious and can totally see that going down, the chickening out that is), I'm afraid there is "taint" on the Backstop. What to be done?ReplyDelete
...that is a really nice Hedges.
...and yes, I, too love that Bell...
...and, well, happy birthday, Tony Gwynn!
Last three my favorites of the post: good Benito, killer Street, surfer brah Greene!
I really enjoy Street's pattern on the mound, namely the double-tap of the plate, before hurling. Pitchers are freaks.
Ok, ok...the taint has been removed, that weird blue and white streak...
Just kidding! Remember it, Marcus, for I have a Dodger post brewing, too.
This was a great one. Good find, dude! Way better than the pie-in-the-face routine.
I have that Kershaw article saved in my favorites. It's a good one.ReplyDelete
I love Cool Runnings. Just watched it the other night, as a matter of fact.ReplyDelete

Ok...let's get the photos out of the way first shall we?
Singapore Club's National Day Ball 2008
Singapore National Day Ball 2008
It has been a while since I wrote something.
Finally got some time (and patience) to sit at my computer, upload the photos and post it up here. It has been a very weird time these past few weeks.
Busy yet not insanely busy.
Tiring yet not overly overwhelming.
Sleepy...you get the idea.
And as usual...a long period of self-discovery. Rousing thoughts of regret and loneliness but yet not all that bad. Knowing the cause of a problem can lead to means of finding my own version of happiness...or at least...some form of peace.
All this somehow links up with being all patriotic about being Singaporean. I love being Singaporean. Happy to be Singaporean. The Olympics allowed me to present myself in that light. To support the Singapore table tennis team even if almost everyone else didn't give them credit or at least...have some faith that they might have had a chance to get Gold.
Lindsay brought up a good point. Most Singaporeans are very negative people. Focusing on the Bad first before even considering the Good. The lack of faith is horrible. Some might retort "It's not about faith...but about being practical". HA! Having faith in something means NOT being practical. IF more people had some faith...or perhaps a little more prayer somewhere along the line, our hopes and well wishes might have reached the Singapore Team.
Another interesting read just this week was PM Lee's National Day Rally Speech. Mainly about how young Singaporeans need to start pairing up and start families. About how the government attempt to help.
It was quite amusing.
More amusing was a blog entry I found from Tomorrow.sg that commented on that part of the PM's Address.
It can be found HERE.
Just read it...it's great.
Taking the day off tomorrow to take a proper break (esp since I was in the office last Wednesday on EKKA Holiday). Taxes and personal accounts need to be done as well. SIGH. Gonna try and really get my home buying going so I'll need to get all my paperwork and money in order. Growing Pains! HAHA
Having just watched "Princess Diaries 2" on DVD again...I finish this new entry with thoughts of Destiny and perhaps...even the possibility of True Love on my mind. Hopefully I'll have a great dream.
Gdnight! ;)

Game of Thrones Season 7 premiered after a long, long wait, and it has been going great till now. We are four episodes in, with the fourth one having aired today. Clocking in at about 50 minutes, it is the shortest of the season, but man, oh man, we would be lying if we said that it wasn't the best episode of Season 7 till now. Titled 'The Spoils of War', the episode had a lot of great scenes, and a ton of action.
One of the best scenes was Arya Stark's return back home. She met Brienne of Tarth, a while after she was already back at Winterfell, and the two sparred for a bit, and Arya showed off some impressive skills against another one of the strongest female characters on the show. Not only that, when Brienne asked her who taught her how to fight, she said 'no one', which was quite awesome. Sansa, on the other hand, didn't seem so impressed. This matched up to Sansa's constant disgruntlement in Season 7, which reminds us of her Season 1 self. All in all, the scene was a well composed scene that the Game of Thrones fandom loved. Here are some of the best fan reactions to the scene :

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 979436
[One-Off] BRMS has performance decrease after applied Roll Up patch BRMS_5.3.1_2_2013 (BZ-953308)
Last modified: 2013-07-04 11:06:24 EDT
After applied the Roll Up patch BRMS_5.3.1_2_2013 the rule engine has decreased in 6% its performance.
This regression is related to BZs: Bug 976824 and Bug 969467
The problem reported here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969467 was caused by a wrong synchronization pattern that, in order to be fixed, required a change in the policy in how locks are acquired, together with the introduction of a new type of lock. This caused a performance degradation that I partially addressed by tweaking the internal data structures of the before mentioned new lock. Unfortunately I don't see a way to avoid both the deadlock reported in that ticket and the remaining 6% of performance loss reported here.
Of course performance is an important feature and we are striving to keep the rule engine as fast as possible, but at the same time we cannot trade correctness for performance.
As commented by engineer and after some reviews, a minor loss of performance, which can vary between 3% to 6%, is expected due additional locks needed to fix Bug 969467. This value is not noticeable for most use cases.
I am closing this ticket as "not a bug" status.
