Title: Counting on Tulasi beads
User: candrika Date: 2005-03-09 23:11:09
Dear Swami Gaurangapada
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
I have just acquired a digital pedometer that counts each step I take. I wanted to use it to go on walks and for each step say one name Nityananda then Gauranga and also the maha mantra.
I was wondering whether the mantras are less potent if chanted in such a way without doing the counting on Tulasi beads.
I know that Tulasi, Shrimati Vrinda Devi, is a very important person and her mercy is required in order to enter the forest of Vrindavan, so I wondered whether chanting without the Tulasi beads and using this other form of counting is at all offensive or less effective than chanting on Tulasi beads.
One more thing, when I was in Vrindavan I saw some devotees who chanted on Neem beads, is this related to Nityananda and his pasttimes under the Neem Tree?
Thankyou in advance

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Chanting in the presence of Shrimati Tulasidevi (Tulasi plant) on Tulasi japa beads should be done at least for sometime daily if very quick results are to be obtained in chanting. Chanting on Tulasi beads purifies our sense of touch and chanting in front of Tulasi plant and giving pleasure to Tulasidevi by making her hear the Holy Names is a great service to a great devotee. She then blesses us with more taste for chanting.
Of course there are absolutely no rules and regulations for chanting and chanting can be done in all times, places and circumstances. In fact there is only one rule in chanting: "Never stop chanting!"
Pedometer is good for walkers. Each step means one only Holy Name and one step closer to God.
One of the latest digital counters can be found at http://tallycounterstore.com/electric_digital_tally_counter.html
It is a very convenient counter to carry along to count the Holy Names when one cannot carry the beads or even to count with the beads in the right hand and the counter in the left hand.
Since the number of Holy Names chanted daily needs to be noted by us and reported to the Lord so that we know we are making progress in quality and quantity of our chanting, such a counter is useful when we cannot chant and count on beads. The other mechanical counters are very hard to click for the fingers and sometimes they do not even turn to the next number. One may realize that after 100s of clicks that one is still on the same number.
Also this digital electronic counter would be useful to those devotees who chant a lot of Holy Names daily to cross-check the count or to count when they cannot chant on beads.
Normally neem beads are used when Tulasi beads are not available.

Musical Written by and Starring Country Music Legend Larry Gatlin to be Featured April 28 - May 7, 2017 at the Irving Art Center Carpenter Performance Hall in Dallas, Texas
Tickets On-sale Now at www.lyricstage.org or by Calling the Box Office at 972-252-2787
Nashville, Tenn. (March 2, 2017) — Today, Country music legend Larry Gatlin announced the debut of his new musical, Quanah, presented by Lyric Stage. Larry explains:
"Howdy. For almost thirty years, I have been working on a musical about Quanah Parker, the last Comanche chief. It is the story of Quanah, his mother Cynthia Ann Parker, and the Parker family's settling in Texas and the survival and ascendancy of the great Comanche people. It is, in part, a tragic, sad, heartbreaking story - a story of war, bloodshed, death and heartbreak - but it is, more importantly, a story celebrating the strength and power of the human spirit."
"As a kid in west Texas, I had a vivid imagination and I loved to make up stories with which to entertain my family and friends. For the last 30 years, as I have grown into a crusty old coot, I have allowed my already vivid imagination to run wild - much like Quanah Parker, the last Comanche chief. We are going to perform this at the Irving Arts Center Carpenter Performance Hall from April 28th through May 7th. I invite you to come join us, use your imagination and to let our wonderful cast, orchestra and crew tell you this incredible story."
Keep the Faith,
"P.S. My wife Janis - who is NEVER wrong - believes that it is the best music I have ever written. Why donchya come to the show and see if I am right about her always being right? Also, my sweet, beautiful, talented granddaughter Campbell did the pencil drawing of Quanah. It's wonderful, don't ya think?"
"P.P.S. One of the great blessings in my life is that the very best singer that I have ever heard, is going to play the double roles of Peta Nocona, Quanah's father and Quanah, the last Comanche chief. HALLELUJAH. Almost 20 years ago, when I heard the background vocals on my solo gospel album, In My Life, I asked Mike Smith, the producer of the album, 'who are those people singing the background vocals?' He said, 'Tanya Goodman Sykes, Michael Sykes, and some kid named David Phelps.' I said, 'Wow, that is the best vocal sound I have ever heard that wasn't sung by someone named Gatlin.' A couple of years later I heard David Phelps sing with the Gaither Vocal Band and I said to myself, 'he's the greatest singer I have ever heard.' It was true then and it is true now. It is truly a God thing that David is going to play the double role of Quanah and Peta in our new musical. I thank God. I thank David Phelps. And I thank my old and dear friend, Bill Gaither, for making this happen."
"P.P.P.S. I made my publicist write the press release this way... to better tell the story in my own words, so don't give him any CRAPOLA!"
Multiple Dove and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, David Phelps is Quanah. Larry will play Old Ranger. The supporting cast includes Brett Warner as Lucinda, Lauren Scott as Cynthia Ann, Daron Cockerell as Nauda, Sony Franks as McKenzie and Tim Brawner as James Parker.
Other supporting roles and members of the ensemble are played by Abigail Gardner, Jonathan McGinnis, Teresa Natera, Ian Moore, Angela Davis, Jamal Houston, Mindamora Rocha, Michael McMillan, Alison Wheaton, Steve Sifford, Shelbie Mac, Caitlin Galloway and Mindy Bell. Quanah arranger Galen Butler conducts the Lyric Stage Orchestra with direction and choreography by John De Los Santos.
Performances are April 28 and 29 and May 4, 5, and 6 at 7:30 PM and April 30 and May 6 at 2:30 PM in the Irving Arts Center Carpenter Performance Hall in Dallas, Texas.
Tickets on-sale now at www.lyricstage.org or by calling the box office at 972-252-2787.

A reckless driving suspect was arrested in Novato early Thursday after a pursuit from Sonoma County at speeds of up to 80 mph, police said.
The pursuit ended on South Novato Boulevard after the suspect jumped from the flaming minivan, which caught fire from road sparks after police used spike strips to blow out its tires.
The vehicle was traveling at about 30 mph when the driver bailed, and he landed against a median divider sign post while the minivan continued another 60 yards.
Jose Rubio-Rivas, 33, of Santa Rosa, was hospitalized for his injuries. He was under arrest on suspicion of evading police, driving while intoxicated, methamphetamine possession and violating his probation conditions, Santa Rosa police said.
The incident began at about 2:30 a.m. when Santa Rosa police saw an erratic driver at Sebastopol Road and Doubles Drive. The driver refused to pull over, setting off a pursuit on Highway 12, Highway 116, Stony Point Road in Petaluma and then southbound Highway 101 into Novato, said Santa Rosa police Sgt. Michael Clark.
The California Highway Patrol lay a spike strip on Highway 101 as the suspect was heading into Marin. The strip punctured two tires, but the suspect kept driving on the rims through Novato.
The chase ended shortly after Rubio-Rivas exited at the South Novato Boulevard exit, where police had placed another spike strip.

The greatest lesson my parents taught me was to think for myself and to think about religious dogma before accepting it as gospel. My parents told me that it's not fair that children are brain washed or indoctrinated into a certain religion before having the chance to think freely about all religions. In high school I went to many churches, synagogues and a mosque. I read about Buddhism and Judaism and the Bible. I think the Bible is a book of fables. Thanks to my parents I've come to believe that religion is about superstitions, that their is no God, but rather that religion fulfills a human need. The best book on religion that I have read is The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. I find his writing to be rational and objective.

The staff of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is conducting a detailed review of all discrepancies found in public and private statements by Condoleezza Rice and Richard A. Clarke in drawing up questions for Ms. Rice when she testifies before the panel, probably next week, commission officials said Wednesday.
Commission members said both the panel's leaders and the White House were trying to schedule sworn testimony by Ms. Rice, the president's national security adviser, for late next week.
The White House, they said, is hoping to limit any political damage to the president by having Ms. Rice testify quickly in the hope of ending the furor over the accusations made by Mr. Clarke, Mr. Bush's former counterterrorism director.
Mr. Clarke said in testimony before the commission last week and in his new best-selling memoir that the Bush administration -- and Ms. Rice, in particular -- largely ignored threats by Al Qaeda before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Officials said the 10-member bipartisan commission wanted Ms. Rice's testimony by the end of next week in order to move onto a new issue, law enforcement failures before Sept. 11, 2001, at a separate set of hearings scheduled to begin April 13.Continue reading the main story
''We're working with the commission to move forward as quickly as possible,'' Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman, said. ''I think most Americans view Dick Clarke and his contradictions as yesterday's news.''
President Bush announced Tuesday that he would allow Ms. Rice to testify at a public hearing, reversing himself after the White House had argued for weeks that testimony by such a senior presidential aide would erode the president's constitutional authority.
Commission members, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the panel's staff had been asked in the wake of Mr. Clarke's testimony last week to carefully review all testimony and other remarks that both he and Ms. Rice had made since Sept. 11, to determine where they disagreed.
The commission's chairman, Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, suggested Wednesday that the questioning of Ms. Rice would center on the early months of the Bush administration, the period in which Mr. Clarke has insisted that the issue of terrorist threats was largely overlooked.
''I think the thing that Mr. Clarke emphasized the most is a lack of attention by the Bush administration to the problem of terrorism,'' Mr. Kean said on CNN.
As the White House and the commission sought to work out the logistics for Ms. Rice's testimony, Mr. Clark received new support on Wednesday from the staff director of the bipartisan joint Congressional inquiry that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks in 2002.
The former staff director, Eleanor J. Hill, a former federal prosecutor and Congressional aide whose management of the investigation was widely praised by Democrats and Republicans alike, said the Congressional investigation turned up evidence to support Mr. Clarke's contention that the Bush administration had paid too little attention to terror in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Ms. Hill said that while she no longer had access to transcripts of the classified testimony given by Mr. Clarke to the joint investigation, she could not identify large contradictions between his testimony last week and his testimony to Congress two years ago.
''I didn't hear any major factual discrepancies,'' said Ms. Hill, adding that the central differences between Mr. Clarke's account and that of Ms. Rice ''appeared to be an opinion issue, not so much a fact issue.''
She cited passages in the joint investigation's final report that appeared to back up Mr. Clarke's contentions, especially this finding:
''It appears that significant slippage in counterterrorism policy may have taken place in late 2000 and early 2001. At least part of that was due to the unresolved status of Mr. Clarke as national coordinator for counterterrorism and his uncertain mandate to coordinate Bush administration policy on terrorism and especially on bin Laden.''
That passage of the report would seem to contradict Ms. Rice, who has insisted that the Bush administration considered terrorism a high priority throughout 2001 and that the White House had gone on ''battle stations'' to deal with dire warnings from intelligence agencies about an imminent, possibly catastrophic attack by Al Qaeda.
Congressional Republican leaders asked last week that the Bush administration declassify Mr. Clarke's 2002 testimony, saying it would show glaring inconsistencies in his account of the Bush administration's performance on counterterrorism.
Administration officials said Wednesday that the White House was insisting that it play a role in a decision about how much of the secret testimony is declassified.
A spokesman for the National Security Council, Sean McCormack, said the White House would do so because Mr. Clarke was on the council's staff at the time. ''There's an established procedure for declassification, and in this area, it's being followed,'' Mr. McCormack said Wednesday.
But the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee issued a preemptive complaint against what she warned might be ''selective declassification'' on the part of a White House to bolster the position of Dr. Rice and President Bush.
''The N.S.C. is the White House; they are an interested party, and they should have no role in this process,'' said the lawmaker, Representative Jane Harman, Democrat of California.
A transcript of Mr. Clarke's testimony was sent to the N.S.C. for review last Thursday by Representative Porter J. Goss, the Florida Republican who is chairman of the House intelligence committee, and was forwarded to the C.I.A. on Friday, administration officials said. Under standard procedures, any material that the C.I.A. agreed to declassify would be sent back to the House committee, which would then have the final say on whether to make that version public.
Along with the Senate intelligence committee, the House panel now serves as the steward of testimony before the joint Congressional panel, which was disbanded after it issued its final, classified report in December 2002. Much of that report was never declassified at the insistence of the White House.
The involvement of agencies like the N.S.C. in declassification reviews was described by current and former government officials as standard practice in cases involving those agencies.
''When you have something involving a former employee of an agency, that agency will play a role'' in the review, Mr. McCormack, the N.S.C. spokesman, said in defending the decision to apply the standard to Mr. Clarke.
Ms. Harman said in an interview that she regarded Mr. Clarke's testimony before the Congressional panel as the property of Congress, not the executive branch.
And Senator Bob Graham of Florida, who was the ranking Senate Democrat on the joint Congressional panel, said in a telephone interview on Wednesday that Mr. Clarke's testimony should be released ''in toto, so there's not another case of selective editing, in which only portions favorable to the White House are made public.''Continue reading the main story

1, where you'll find some links to presentations that I have done and I'll give you all the details inside of one hour!
For the more patient reader, we began in parts 2, 3 and 4 where we discussed the philosophy of modelling, the assumptions that would make up the zombie invasion model and some basic mathematical simulation techniques. Although important for the recreational mathematician if you're really in a pinch you'll want to skip right to the results.
In particular, in parts 5 and 6 we showed that running away from zombies increases the initial interaction time far more than trying to slow the zombies down. Thus, fleeing for your life should be the first action of any human wishing to survive. However, we cannot run forever; interaction with zombies is inevitable.
In part 8 we showed that the best long-term strategy is to create a fortified society that can sustain the population, whilst allowing us to remove the zombies as they approach. This, in effect, reduces the risk to zero and we will survive.
In the event of the apocalypse, it is unlikely that we would be able to support such a commune without raiding parties scavenging for medicine, food and fuel. Thus, in this case, we fall back on the maxim of being more deadly than the zombies which allows us to survive as shown in part 7.
Over all, it is difficult for us to survive simply because zombies do not have a natural death rate, and by biting us, they are able to increase their own ranks whilst reducing ours. Thus reinforcing our greatest fear that human allies could quickly become our biggest nightmares.
Our conclusion is grim, not because we want it to be so but because it is so. It had always been the authors' intention to try and save the human race. So to you, the reader, who may be the last survivor of the human race, we say: run. Run as far away as you can get; an island would be a great choice. Only take the chance to fight if you are sure you can win and seek out survivors who will help you stay alive.
Good luck.
You are going to need it.
You are going to need it.

Italian media claim Chelsea are making an offer for Daniele De Rossi after Roma confirmed he's on the market.
Calciomercato.it suggests today that Jose Mourinho is renewing his interest in the Italy midfielder, having already tried to sign him at Inter and Real Madrid.
De Rossi is more likely than ever to leave the Stadio Olimpico after a difficult campaign in which his rapport with the fans and club hit a new low.
This week Roma President James Pallotta confirmed "everybody is on the market," [12] including their 'future captain.'
However, the website claims Chelsea have only offered around €10m - £8.5m – which is not enough to tempt the Giallorossi into a sale.
De Rossi is also of interest to Manchester City and Manchester United.

Been 6 years.....frustrated!
May 18, 2011
I was diagnosed in 2005 and have been on ARV since. I have since felt very healthy - blood work every three months have been pretty good. However, the only thing that has not been the same since my diagnosis is my sex life. I have not had sex since - I have been self abstaining. As a result of getting infected, I have been afraid of passing on my infection to another person. As a result I have not had a real realtionship since then - sexual or physical. Everytime I have had the time to be close to someone I just push them away due to the fear of hurting them. I cannot see myself bringing on this burdomsome trouble to someone else. By the way I was diagnosed when I was 23, which makes me 29 now. I have never had a real relationship and I do know if I could ever have one now. My questions is - could this have a negative impact on my future health? Lately I have been feeling very angry and frustrated and as a result I have been feeling very depressed. I am afraid that this will have negative implications on my health, which has been relatively good since my diagnosis considering I have the virus. I am on Atripla and have been since diagnosis.
Can you please lend any thoughts on this? I feel like I have been losing the best years of my life.
Regards, FRUSTRATED AND DEPRESSED
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Frustrated and Depressed,
No sex for six years??? WOWZA! No wonder you're frustrated and depressed. I would explode from spontaneous combustion if I went even half that long without some horizontal mattress mamboing!
Your self-imposed abstinence is indeed the problem. I would recommend you talk to your HIV specialist physician and get a referral to an HIV-knowledgable licensed mental health practitioner. Psychotherapeutic counseling should help you come to terms with your unwarranted fears about transmitting the virus to others. You may also need help coping with your anger, frustration and depression. If the depression is clinically significant, a switch off Atripla may be warranted, as we tend not to use Atripla in folks who are clinically depressed. As you are only 29, I don't believe you have wasted the best years of your life, but I do think it's time to come to terms with your virally enhanced status. You should also be very encouraged by the recent news regarding the decreased risk of HIV transmission while on antiretrovirals. See link below.
Dr. Bob

I apologize for my lack of posting here lately. As I mentioned a while ago, I started my new job working for a large conservation non-profit about a month ago and it has taken most of my time and energy. During that time there have been some wonderful news items and crafty creations that I thought, "I should post this to Visualize Whirled Peas!" but obviously never did. There are some potential changes afoot for this blog, including the possibility of adding a second blogger and joining a prominent blog network. Stay tuned for news on that front.
In the meantime, here is a comic from the wonderful Stephanie McMillan of Minimum Security:

Private View with Canary Wharf
The Circus is prim and un-British in its perfection and amid a flowerbed can be found a golden egg, a sasso cosmico, a cosmic stone. The "Golden Egg of Canary Wharf", a sculpture by Do Vassilakis-König, was not born out of the stock market or a dot com boom, but perhaps washed up from the Thames, a mysterious link between the new and the original, the city and the river, because whatever outfit the Wharf wears, the river will always surround it.

Multiple women now accuse Trump of offenses, but how do we know they are true?
I find it amazing that the media will accuse Trump of sexual misbehavior and not think their own credibility is on the line.
But according to the Washington Post the Trump Campaign is "rocked" by new allegations:
New allegations of sexual misconduct rocked Donald Trump's campaign Friday as the candidate denounced his accusers, blasted news organizations that have reported the claims and said it all shows "the whole election is being rigged."take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to The Constitution updates free of charge.

Trending: Migrant Caravan Marches to Border, Invoking POTUS by Name
The Republican presidential nominee said his advisers have urged him to talk about other issues, but he felt compelled to defend himself against a stream of accusations from women he said he has never met.
"I feel I have to talk about it," he told a rally at Greensboro, North Carolina, adding, "It's a phony deal. I have no idea who these women are."
The latest accuser, a former contestant on Trump's reality show, "The Apprentice," said he made unwanted sexual advances at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007. Summer Zervos, 41, is among several women who have made similar allegations in the past week.
I can't say the accusations aren't true. I don't know anything for sure.
But I do know that we're not going to have time to investigate any of this or deal with it in court.
I also know that the last time we had these accusations surface they didn't all come out at once a month before the election. Bill Clinton's many accusers did not "just happen" to tell their tales in order to keep him out of the White House.
Trump is a wealthy man and all these women could have, over the years, sued him for this behavior if it occurred. Yet nothing happened until now.
The media has been digging diligently into Trump's past to find dirt. How did they never find anything before now?
Maybe they sat on the information to do the most damage to Trump's chances of winning.
But did Hillary Clinton and the media really want Trump to campaign this long and do this much damage to Hillary? It would have been better to kneecap Trump earlier and put him on the defensive. If, however, they couldn't find any real dirt, then these accusers might be an act of desperation for the Clinton campaign.
Maybe, but I don't know. Neither do you.
It is perfectly plausible to think the accusations fit other aspects of Trump's behavior in the past. But that might be precisely the reason for making false accusations.
What I do know is that, as President, Donald Trump can still be brought to justice if the facts are confirmed in a court of law. With the media and the establishment (including the GOP) so opposed to him, Trump won't have much of a chance if he is really guilty.
So, as far as I'm concerned, Trump is still worth voting for. I'm not going to wish a Hillary regime on the country for the sake of these recent accusations.
And by the way, the entire Left just reeks with hypocrisy on this issue.
Here's Beyoncé dancing to "F…. Donald Trump."

With few exceptions, most contemporary Christians consider ordination a legitimate rite of setting selected members apart for the purpose of pastoral ministry and oversight in the Christian Church. It is also generally assumed that the rite finds its foundations in the Old and New Testaments. While this is correct, it is also true that the modern rite of ordination, as, for example, practiced by Seventh-day Adventists, does not find its exact equivalent in the Scriptures; nor do we find a New Testament requirement that such a rite should take place when selected members are asked to fulfill the office of elder. All this raises the question: from where do we get our way of understanding and practicing ordination? In this first part I will explore the etymology of the word "ordination" and then briefly address the evolution of the rite within Christianity during the second century. In the next essay, the second part will briefly touch on third and fourth century developments.
Origin of the Word and Concept of Ordination
The modern term "ordination" comes from the Latin ordo (order, class, rank), and its derivative ordinatio appears to refer in ancient Rome to installment or induction, appointment or accession to rank.[i] It is well attested historically that pagan Roman society was ranked according to various strictly separated classes, which were called "orders" (from the Latin plural ordines).[ii] The historical evidence points out that already during the early phase of the Roman Empire's existence (second century BC), society had evolved into three basic orders. Thus historians speak of an ordo senatorum – the highest class, ordo equester (the knights), and plebs—the lowest class of the society. It was eventually accepted that within Roman society there was ordo et plebs, i.e., the higher class of citizens and the lower class.[iii] If, by any chance, a person was destined to move upward in rank, he was to go through the process of ordinatio. Thus, in Historia Augusta, it is stated that Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121-180 AD) would never ordain anyone to senatorial rank whom he did not know personally.[iv] Ordinatio appears to have also been used as a classical way of installing imperial officers. Roman historian Seutonius (ca. 69-ca. 122 AD) reports therefore that, at one point of his rule, Emperor Domitian (51-96 AD) decided to ordain Mettius Rufus as prefect of Egypt. [v] At other times ordinatio was also used to promote officers to a higher rank in the army.[vi] Finally, the idea of ordination appears to have also been used in the cultic context of pagan Roman Society. Here, a person would be appointed to the cultic office received from the gods of the ancient world.[vii] All this suggests that when the word ordinatio was used in the ancient world, it clearly indicated a movement upward in rank and status.[viii] Once a man was ordained, he held some kind of office that not only separated him from ordinary people but also allowed him to exercise governmental, jurisdictional, or cultic authority that demanded submission of others. Through the work of second-century Christian writers, and especially the writings of Latin apologist Tertullian (ca. 160-ca. 220 AD), these concepts and ideas seeped into the Christian psyche. Eventually, the post-Constantinian Church wholeheartedly embraced the ways in which the Roman Empire was governed and adapted the structures of the latter to its own needs.

I reviewed the old Star Alliance Lounge at LAX and the new Star Alliance Business Class Lounge at LAX, so it's only fitting that I also finally review the Star Alliance First Class Lounge at LAX as well. My entry to this lounge is actually a bit unusual since I wasn't flying on a Star Alliance airline. Etihad isn't really part of an alliance, so they've signed an agreement to have their First Class passengers access the Star Alliance First Class lounge when departing here at LAX.
The new Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX is pretty awesome, with plenty of food and shopping options to keep you busy if you don't have lounge access. The regular seats near the gates even have plenty of power outlets and there's free wifi, so the lounge really only provides a few extra amenities that many might not even care for.
Still, a First Class Lounge is usually fun to visit.
The First Class Lounge entrance is just a few steps beyond the entrance to the Business Class Lounge. Once you enter there should be someone there to check you in and scan your boarding pass. Once I was in I realized how small this lounge actually was.
I was standing at one end of the lounge when taking these pictures, so it's clear that there's really not much going on here. Still, the lounge was pretty empty so I had nothing to complain about.
There were some snacks along one wall if you wanted some small bites.
There were plenty of drinks as well, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
There were three dining tables set up at the far end of the lounge. If you sat down, one of the lounge attendants brought you a menu that you could order off of. They make the food fresh and bring it to you directly from the kitchen, but note that the portion sizes are all pretty small.
Here's a full size image of the menu (click to enlarge):
I was traveling with my friend Jamison as I mentioned in the introduction to this trip report, and thankfully that guy eats a lot. We were able to order quite a bit of food between us (actually, everything on the menu minus one item they were sold out on). From the menu we ordered the Bradley burger, The Nuremberg, the Avocado Caesar Salad, the Ginger Lime Chicken Lettuce Wraps, the Smoked Gouda and Turkey Panini, and the Brittany Crepe.
I actually thought all of the food was very good. It took a while to make since it was fresh, but I'll gladly wait for fresh food rather than have buffet-style food that's been sitting out for who-knows-how-long. Again, the portion sizes are small so make sure you order enough if you're really hungry. I was trying to pace myself knowing I'd be eating again on the flight soon enough.
There are two bathrooms in the First Class Lounge, but if you want to shower or take a look at the outdoor terrace then you'll have to go through the back door to the Business Class lounge.
Star Alliance First Class Lounge LAX – Summary
While the lounge seems very small, it never really gets that full. I've been in here twice the last few months and there were never more than ten people in here, and there were always two spots at the dining tables. I thought the food selection was very good (though it isn't always the same) and all the options I've tried are very good. I think the new Business Class lounge is fantastic and I'm also very happy with the new First Class Lounge as well. LAX might just have become a nice airport!

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - The trial begins on the morning of Feb. 17 for Columbus' first homicide of 2013. Charles Foster Jr. was a senior at Columbus State University when he was shot and killed early New Year's Day at Majestic Sports Bar on Cusseta Rd.
Dequandrea Truitt and Shaquille Porter were arrested and charged with Porter's murder as well as shooting at six other people that same night. Truitt and Poter are scheduled to face a judge Monday morning for their charges.
Rev. Willie Phillips, who lives few blocks away from Majestic, campaigned to have the bar closed since 2004.
"When that bar was opened, you can hear shooting all over this neighborhood," Rev. Phillips said. "Young people at the bar would come through this neighborhood, drive fast and there was a lot of crime. However, crime has reduced in the area since that bar stopped opening."
Majestic Sports Bar has not been officially closed, but the bar's liquor license was revoked in 2013. The owners of Majestic have also been arrested and charged for allowing under aged people into the bar and for not having proper liquor license.
Reverend Phillips said he's become close to Foster's family ever since the CSU student passed away. Reverend Phillips stopped campaigning for Majestic's closure a few years before Foster passed away because he was scared.
"People were breaking my windshields and slashing my tires," Rev. Phillips recalled. "I had small children with me back then, and I was afraid of them getting hurt, so I backed off. However, when Foster passed away, I knew I should have fought harder. I can't believe the community and I waited this long to protest, but we are still going at it."
Mayor Tomlinson explained that the city is inspecting other bars and clubs nowadays to see if they are all meeting legal standards as well.
"When we close down crime havens, it makes a tremendous difference to the community and we are going to keep going with it," Mayor Tomlinson said. "Anyone is welcomed to have a lawful business in Columbus, and we look forward to promoting your success, but if your business becomes a crime haven, we will shut you down because we are not going to tolerate that."

Dos and don'ts when working in a domestic dwelling.
Working in a domestic dwelling requires strict etiquette unlike any other workplace you may find yourself in, it requires a certain level of respect for the home owner's wishes and honour their need for privacy and most of all security.
We have collated a simple list of do's and don'ts!
Toilets: It's okay to use the customer loo, but... make sure you visit the loo privately at home before you arrive at an appointment. It would be polite to ask for permission if need to use their toilet should you be struck with an urge.
Tea's and Coffees: its okay to accept a beverage, but... don't expect one. It's probably best to bring your own refreshments and if your offered a drink. Bonus. (Don't ask for alcohol please.)
Breaks: it's okay to take breaks during the day, but... don't take advantage of this. Your breaks should be closely timed and spaced appropriately apart. Also make sure you take these breaks away from the home in a vehicle or in a near-by location.
Cleanliness: It's NOT okay to bring dirt into the house, but... sometimes it may be unavoidable. Be sure to keep your workplace as clean as possible and make sure you bring paper towels and a disposable surface that collects dirt.
Animals: It's NOT okay to initiate contact with pets, but... if the homeowner says the animal is friendly and safe, then it's okay to stroke them, as long as the animal is not a distraction or could be exposed to any risks.
Smoking: It Okay to smoke but…. Be mindful where you're smoking. Try not to smoke on the property and leave fag butts lying around, if you can help it. Also you will be a bit smelly after smoking, so do carry some mints with you.
Time Keeping: Make sure you arrive on time, don't turn up too early and certainly do not turn up late. If you're running late it might be courtesy to let the customer know your estimated arrival time. No-one wants to be waiting around for hours.
Dressing Appropriately: It's important to dress appropriately, don't take your top off in somebody's home, or wear offensive t-shirts, also some people find caps rude!
Being pleasant and helpful: Do you remember that old fashioned saying where the customer is always right? Make sure your always courteous pleasant and helpful. If you're asked to help out, do! It could mean you getting a better rating on Checkatrade.
Stay Positive: Use positive language you could accidently insult someone without meaning to, "your living room is small".
Good Communication Skills: Make sure you understand completely what you're talking about, don't try and blag it. Always explain in detail what you're doing and where their money is going.
Taking responsibility: If something has gone wrong always admit to this, problem solve and fix it. Try not to blame others for your mistakes this could lead to lack of trust and would lose business in the long run for dishonesty.
Mistakes: If you make a mistake, then you will unfortunately have to dig into your pocket and pay for this to be sorted.
Did this help?
This list of etiquette tips certainly does not cover everything you need to know about working in a customer's home, most of it is common sense, but you should now have a better knowledge of the basics. No matter what happens, keep in mind that you're representing your employer or your company so conduct yourself properly and this will speak volumes!

You can feel God's fingerprints and grace all over this event. It feels really good to have someone safe to talk to...
To not be forgotten when you are not visible is a big need... it reminded me of God's truth and promises...
I feel like a new person, like I walked through a door into a new beginning. I am excited for what God has...

We will begin at 3:30 p.m. on the first afternoon and conclude at 1:30 p.m. on the closing day. We only have space for 50 attendees per retreat, so be sure to make your reservation soon!
Please take some time to read these policies.
Because our goal is to provide a time of rest and relaxation for every woman who attends the retreat, we are unable to accommodate babies or additional family members at the retreat. We have found in the past that mothers have a hard time really connecting or relaxing when they have to attend to their baby's needs. Also, we need to be sensitive to the other women in attendance, both during the meetings as well as sleeping accommodations. We would love to have you join us if your child can be left with your husband. We'll be thinking of you as you make your decision - we know it is tough!
On our first day of the retreat, check-in (including sign up for your Self Care appointments) will begin at 1:30 p.m. with our first meeting at 3:30 p.m. We will conclude at 1:30 p.m. on the final day of the retreat. As you are arranging your flight or travel plans, please do your best to join us for the entire retreat.
Upon approval, you will be sent a confirmation email with further details. You will receive several additional emails from us before the retreat. Please check your inbox frequently during this time to ensure you have the necessary information. We want you to feel informed and able to look forward to the retreat with eager expectation!
A $125 USD registration fee will be required to officially hold your spot. Please submit this fee during your registration or within 15 days of acceptance to reserve your space at the retreat. Please remember that the registration fee must be paid in U.S. dollars and is non-refundable.
We would like to contact your key supporting churches to let them know about your upcoming retreat experience. We will also introduce them to Thrive's dynamic free resources to support and encourage cross-cultural workers.
In addition, we will invite them to pray for you while you attend the retreat and to financially partner with Thrive to provide this time of refreshment for you. We trust in the Lord's provision as we continually seek full funding for each attendee. Our experience shows that local churches are often looking for unique ways to provide practical love and support for their workers. You can rest assured we will honor your financial relationship with them. They are under no obligation. An option will be provided on the Registration Form if you prefer we contact a stateside family member or friend to provide the contact information for your supporting churches.
It is VERY common for our retreats to fill up before the registration deadline. Therefore, once you have been accepted into the retreat, your registration fee is due within 15 days. Should you need to cancel, out of consideration for those on the waiting list and for the donors who have provided this gift, please notify us of your cancellation as soon as possible. This will allow time to notify the next woman on the waiting list of the opening so she can make travel arrangements to join us. You may not transfer your reservation to a friend, since preference will be given to women on the waiting list. Our contract with the facility requires that we pay based on a number of guests guaranteed before our arrival. Please help us be good stewards of the financial gifts given to provide this unique time of encouragement for you!
Retreat attendees must be a full-time, support-based, cross-cultural worker living outside North America. If you have attended a Thrive Retreat in the past, our "Come Again" policy opens up the retreat to you if it has been five years since you last attended.
All other personal expenses incurred while traveling will be yours to cover (such as tourist activities, personal shopping, extra snacks, etc.).
Registration and check in is from 1:30 – 3:00. Please arrive as close to 1:30 as possible since that is when you will be able to sign up for afternoon activities!
Our first session will begin promptly at 3:30 p.m. The retreat concludes at 1:30 p.m. on the closing day. Please make your travel plans to enjoy the entire retreat experience!
We would love to see you at our next retreat!

How to uninstall Java and Flash on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?
Do you really need to uninstall them, or are you worried about security and want to disable them to prevent problems?
For Flash, you can install ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin in whichever browser you use, or you can go to /Library/Internet Plug-ins and delete the Flash Player plugin from there.
For Java, you can use ClickToPlugin as mentioned above, or you can go into your browser's settings and disable Java (which is sufficient for protecting you from the Flashback malware, and in fact every piece of malware which has yet attempted to use Java vulnerabilities). If you wish to completely uninstall it, don't. While it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to not have it, it would take more work than you should probably attempt for little or no benefit. If you want, you can disable it system-wide, via the Java Preferences app in your /Applications/Utilities folder.
