This morning, my wife really got on my case about a decision I made. She was upset that I didn't listen to her when I should have. Is she right? I don't know. Probably. Would it have been smart to listen to her? Well, duh. So why didn't I? Good question.
It's not that I'm dumb. And I certainly didn't intend to do anything stupid. But that's exactly what I did.
Continue Reading Below
One thing's for sure. It wasn't the first time I've done something stupid. And it definitely won't be the last.
We all do dumb things. Usually the impact is minimal. If ticking off your spouse is the worst of it, count yourself lucky. But sometimes, the result of your stupidity can be devastating. It can affect your life, your family, your career. And if you happen to be in a position of power, it can affect thousands, even millions of others.
Over a four-year term, I bet a U.S. president makes hundreds of important decisions that affect us all. And no matter how smart he and his advisors are, some of those decisions are bound to be dumb.
If you lean right, I bet you think nearly all of President Obama's decisions fit that description. You may even think half the nation is dumb for electing him, not once, but twice. Funny thing is, folks on the left probably feel exactly the same way about George W. Bush and those who voted for him.
No matter which way you lean or how smart you really are, like me, I bet you've made some royally dumb decisions.
Just take Hewlett-Packard's (NYSE:HPQ) board of directors, for example. If you read their bios, they're clearly a bunch of really smart and accomplished people. And yet, the last smart decision they made was to appoint Mark Hurd chief executive way back in 2005. Hurd pulled off a miraculous turnaround and, for five years, everything was hunky dory.
Then came that fateful sexual harassment claim. You know, the one that turned out to be bogus. Well, that seemed to be a turning point. That, to me, was when the board got off the Smart Highway at the Stupid Town exit.
And even though they found the claims against Hurd to be baseless, H-P's board fired him anyway in what Oracle CEO Larry Ellison called, "the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs."
Then the board hired Leo Apotheker as its new CEO, even though he'd been fired by SAP for nearly destroying the software giant. Why in the world, you might ask, would they do something so stupid? Well, two thirds of the board voted for Apotheker without ever having met the guy. And some directors had no idea what had transpired at SAP. Go figure.
Apotheker, of course, made a real mess of things, launching operating systems and tablets with great fanfare, then killing them off a few months later. But the icing on the cake was when he more or less announced that H-P would be getting out of the hardware business to become a second rate software company.
Still, it would be a mistake to let Apotheker take all the credit for that. After all, H-P's board approved his nutty strategy, including that ill-fated acquisition of Autonomy. Chairman Ray Lane even went on tour with Apotheker to sell the idea to the investment community, but the smart money wasn't buying it. So the board fired Apotheker after just 11 months on the job.
If you think that was the end of all the nonsense, think again. Instead of doing what it should have done in the first place – initiating a professional search for another Mark Hurd – the hapless board immediately turned right around and appointed Meg Whitman, one of their own directors, as CEO.
Never mind that the former eBay chief had absolutely no enterprise, IT, hardware, software, complex supply chain, or turnaround experience.
And never mind that Whitman had recently demonstrated an unprecedented level of foolishness, spending $144 million of her own money and over $300 million in total in a losing bid to become governor of California. Why, anybody would do something so ridiculous, I have no idea.
Around that time, Tom Perkins, a former H-P director and founder of famed Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, said, "[H-P] has got to be the worst board in the history of business." And yet, at last week's annual meeting, H-P shareholders voted to keep the board intact, although Lane and two others just barely kept their jobs by a narrow margin.
So, in the case of H-P, one of the world's biggest technology companies with over 300,000 employees and more than $100 billion in revenue, we've had CEOs, board directors, and thousands of shareholders making decisions that few would argue are beyond dumb.
I know it sounds like I'm picking on H-P, but you know they're not alone. Like I said, we all do dumb things. We all make terrible decisions. And we've all shot ourselves in the foot at one time or another. I know I have. Just ask my wife.
So why do we do it? Well, there's a whole laundry list of reasons why otherwise smart people do dumb things.
Sometimes we choose the path of least resistance, the easy way out. Sometimes we succumb to groupthink or listen to yes-men who sugarcoat the truth. And sometimes we don't listen to the people we should listen to.
Sometimes we're overconfident, full of hubris, full of ourselves, and full of our ideals. Sometimes we're too close to the problem and lack perspective. And sometimes, we're just in over our heads, something we in the business like to call the Peter Principle.
The point is we all screw up. It happens. A lot.
So here's what I want you to do. I want you to think about the last time you did something really dumb. Oh yes you did. And I want you to keep that memory close at hand. So the next time you start to pass judgment, before you can even get the words "how can they be so stupid" out of your mouth, I want you to remember that they're human. Just like you.

AbstractLentiviral vectors have demonstrated promising results in clinical trials that target cells of the hematopoietic system. For these applications, they are the vectors of choice since they provide stable integration into cells that will undergo extensive expansion in vivo. Unfortunately, integration can have unintended consequences including dysregulated cell growth. Therefore, lentiviral vectors that do not integrate are predicted to have a safer profile compared to integrating vectors and should be considered for applications where transient expression is required or for sustained episomal expression such as in quiescent cells. In this review, the system for generating lentiviral vectors will be described and used to illustrate how alterations in the viral integrase or vector Long Terminal Repeats have been used to generate vectors that lack the ability to integrate. In addition to their safety advantages, these non-integrating lentiviral vectors can be used when persistent expression would have adverse consequences. Vectors are currently in development for use in vaccinations, cancer therapy, site-directed gene insertions, gene disruption strategies, and cell reprogramming. Preclinical work will be described that illustrates the potential of this unique vector system in human gene therapy. View Full-Text

07 Aug Time To Complete A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case
The most common form of consumer bankruptcy, a Chapter 7 filing, takes about 90 days to complete. For each case filed, the court assigns a trustee and schedules a date for a meeting of creditors. This meeting occurs about 30 days into the process. (And it does NOT take place in a courtroom.)
At the meeting of creditors, the bankruptcy trustee asks the debtor a series of questions. This is done to make sure the petition is complete, accurate and truthful. (Most trustees conduct about 6 of these meetings in a half-hour.) After the meeting is over, 60 days remain before the debts are scheduled for discharge.
So what happens before the 3-month timeline? This is more difficult to answer. Because every case is unique, it takes some time for the bankruptcy lawyer to determine "when" a case should be filed. Here are a few reasons why:
- record gathering: tax returns, pay records, and credit statements are needed in advance
- legal issues: time may be needed to explore particular legal concerns
- cooling off period: cards may have been used recently for purchases or cash advances
- income spike: because the means test measures gross income over a 6 month window, it may be beneficial to wait a while for income to lower
- legal expenses: time is needed to pre-pay court costs, education expenses and legal fees
If you are considering filing bankruptcy, you should request a consultation with a qualified attorney immediately. This will allow time to properly prepare your case and make the process less stressful.

Kerry Godliman interview for Derek
The following interview is available free for reproduction in full or in part, and must be accompanied by the following credit:
Derek is on Channel 4 on Wednesdays at 10pm from 30th January 2013.
Kerry Godliman plays The Home's manager Hannah
Q: Please describe your character to us.
A: Hannah is the manager of the care home. She is very passionate and devoted to her job. She's a very loving person who doesn't want to judge at all. That's quite a rare trait. It's sometimes difficult to manage not to be judgemental. But Hannah just doesn't judge people at all, and that makes her a very good carer. It also makes Kev's presence manageable!
Q: Are there any similarities between you and Hannah?
A: I'd like to be more like Hannah. It's nice to play her because she is so kind and non-judgemental. Those are characteristics I'm working on in myself!
Q: How would you characterise Hannah's relationship with Derek?
A: They are friends who go back many years and have always enjoyed working together. She adores Derek. They have a very lovely friendship, and she thinks he's a great bloke. Her affection for him is really sweet. What she adores above all else is his selflessness, and she wishes more people would be like him. She has developed this affection for him that he values enormously. They depend on each other - Hannah doesn't have anything outside work. She feels Derek is one of the kindest people she has ever met. There is an absence of that in society, and he should be celebrated.
Q: Could it ever develop into a romance?
A: No. It's a platonic marriage. His understanding of that is not the same as yours or mine, and she could never reciprocate it. But it remains a very sweet relationship.
Q: Is there another love in her life?
A: Hannah is a bit unlucky in love. She fancies Tom and fantasises about a relationship with him, but that doesn't exist beyond her imagination. It doesn't ever quite get going - sometimes things just don't have the wind behind them. She's not enormously confident and gets frustrated.
Q: Do you think it's a good thing that this show does not always deliver happy endings?
A: Yes. I love the fact that Ricky says things are not always going to turn out how you'd hope. That's true of a lot of relationships. It's not due to a lack of will, but sometimes it simply feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Tom and Hannah are very scared of jumping into a relationship, making a horrible mistake and hurting each other. You could have shot them running across Broadstairs beach and leaping into each other's arms like a glossy, traditional love story. But this show isn't like that.
Q: How have you found it working with Ricky?
A: It's been brilliant. He works really fast, so it can go by in the blink of an eye. But there are still tons of opportunities to try out new ideas. Overall, though, we don't take the mick because it's so precisely written. Ricky arrived with the characters really well formed - they were very well fleshed out from the beginning. But we are still able to do loads of improvising. Ricky is so creative - it's a pleasure being able to enjoy his whole world.
Q: What has it been like working on the care home set [in fact, a disused RAF base in Uxbridge]?
A: It's been great. Broad Hill Residential Care Home for the Elderly is a lovely world, and now it has started feel like my world. It felt very warm and magical and cosy. As the shoot has gone on, this has felt more and more like a real creative bubble. It's a very nourishing environment. You feel the benevolence and love and affection between the carers and the residents. There's a lot of tenderness and respect there. That's been great.
Q: Have you enjoyed working with Karl?
A: Yes, it's been really good fun. I didn't know him before, but he is the most unpretentious person I've ever met. I don't know how he has remained so unaffected.
Q: Do you think this series could help to overturn a few stereotypes about older people?
A: Yes, I think it could help audiences view older people differently and be more respectful towards them. I don't think we're very respectful towards the elderly at the moment. We're scared of old age. But people forget that old people were once young. Sometimes you hear youngsters say, "You mustn't swear in front of that old man," but the old man replies, "swearing was not invented just 20 years ago, you know. I wasn't always old." It's about keeping a young mind. We're obsessed with youth in this country, so it is great to see a show like this that celebrates older people.
Q: You also have a very successful career as a stand-up comedian, don't you?
A: Yes, it's great because it means I always have something to fall back on. It makes me more relaxed when I'm acting, because I know if I have a quiet period, I can always go back to stand up. They're both forms of performance, but very different worlds.
Q: You are recording an episode of Live at the Apollo soon. How will you prepare for that?
A: I'll sit on a tiny box in the foetal position for a day, dribbling [laughs]. No, I'm sure I'll have a mild panic attack and then just get on with it. I have played the Hammersmith Apollo before, when I supported Micky Flanagan, and it's a lovely room. Sometimes bigger crowds are nicer than smaller ones, because the laughs spread out across the venue. It can be tremendous fun. It's a great thing to do.
Q: Finally, do you see a long future for Derek?
A: Absolutely. It's not just about Derek and Hannah. It's about all the residents. So many lovely characters reside at the nursing home, and they all have amazing stories. It could go anywhere. There are endless tales still to be told.

JEFF DAVIS PARISH, LA (KPLC) - As the new school year begins in Jeff Davis Parish, students find themselves transitioning from the summer-time to school-time routine.
Child and Adolescent Counselor Scott Riviere said parents should prepare their child at least one week before school. For example, parents should adjust the child's schedule by making bed time earlier.
"Summer-time to school transition can take getting used to up to two weeks," Riviere said. "Anything more than two weeks, parents should consider seeking help or advice."
Riviere also said that parents should stay positive when bringing kids to school, as a way to ease back-to-school nerves.
"It's common for kids to be nervous when going into a new school setting," he said.
Our Lady Immaculate (OLI) Catholic School in Jennings helped to eliminate any back-to-school jitters by celebrating the first day of school as students arrived to campus.
"Cheerleaders cheered for the students as they got out of cars," Nicole Reeves, Principal of OLI said. "The pastors were here and all the teachers were there."
Reeves said the school prepared for the first day by having an open house for students and parents to meet with the teachers, see the classrooms and bring school supplies.
"All summer long we made plans for back-to-school night," Reeves said.
She said this helps students become comfortable with coming back to school and seeing familiar faces.
"There's not too much that needs to be done," Reeves said. "So far the students feel very comfortable."

Durban: Germany coach Joachim Loew has tipped Spain to win this year`s FIFA World Cup after they overcome his side in the semi-finals on Wednesday.
Spanish defender Carles Puyol`s header was enough to beat the three-time winners Germany 1-0, and book a final showdown with the Netherlands at Johannesburg`s Soccer City on Sunday.
"Yes, they are the best team in the world. In 2008, Spain won the Euros in an overwhelming way," The Sun quoted Loew, as saying.
"They have won all their important games over the past three years and they`re pretty much unchanged. I am convinced they`re going to win the final because, when they want to be, they are in complete control," Loew said.
"They dominate opponents and games, and have shown they can beat anyone and everyone," he added.
He further said the defeat is a massive blow to his players.
"I just saw their faces in the dressing room. They are totally disappointed because we had our ambitions, but we weren`t good enough. Spain are a well-oiled team that has been playing together for two or three years with almost the exact same players," Loew said.
"We, on the other hand, had some inhibitions during the game, but it`s difficult to explain why. We did not have the courage and conviction to fully play our game. We were made to work hard to get the ball," he added.
Germany will now face Uruguay for the third and fourth place decider on Saturday.

Taiwan's Ice Monster in Singapore
Whoa. It looks like Ice Monster from Taipei has opened a shop in Singapore (180 Bencoolen Street #01-23, 6339-7362) - and it's been here for about a year now, according to the waiter. Wow...and to think that I went all the way to Yong Kang Street in Taipei to hit up Ice Monster, only to find that mango was out of season in Taipei (whereas they are still in season down here).
Was it the same though? Generally yes, they still had the mango in a sweet syrup with milk and sorbet. But they offer a small size here in Singapore, and the mango ice comes in a preselected dish with milk and sorbet provided by default. The store is only open until 10 PM, and it is not very crowded, which is interesting considering how warm it is in Singapore (compare it to the long lines at the Taipei location). What's more, it's located right next to Hong Kong-based Hui Lau Shan, which also has a competing mango-type dessert (but definitely is not as good). Anyway, this is one to bookmark for the future. I just wish they would stay open later in the evening.
|This made me feel:

It was practically right next door...maybe two doors down. But it's been a while since I'd been over there, and they closed their Orchard location recently, so it's possible that the one on Bencoolen closed too. Can anyone confirm?

To find the one that has a real connection to the Taiwan's famous Ice Monster, check out this cafe at 337 beach road. Theirs is probably the most authentic,- http://www.facebook.com/?ref=hp#!/pages/Taipei-Yong-Kang-Cafe-Restaurant/121527484585871

Questions frequently come to us respecting woman's place in the gospel, and we have not attempted to answer them all in the question department. The darkness of the apostasy has left such a great shadow over the minds of the sectarian world, and tradition has blinded the minds of many honest souls who might have understood the truth on this subject were it not for these things. We will view this subject first from the positive side and then from the negative. Let us call upon the prophet and have him as the first witness.
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit." Joel 2:28, 29. At the ushering in of the Holy Spirit dispensation the apostle Peter declared this scripture was then being fulfilled. "But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy." Acts 2:14-18. Women were there. "These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren." Acts 1:14.
They had taken part in the prayer and in the supplications, and were in one accord with the rest when the Holy Spirit was given. "They were all filled with the Holy Ghost," the women with the rest. The gift of the Spirit was poured out upon all alike. "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them." "And they began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language." Acts 2:4-6. With the gift of tongues they were able to speak in the different languages, but what did they speak? Now let the hearers tell what they said: "We do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God." Verse 11. In speaking with tongues and prophesying they told of the wonderful works of God. Their worship was public. "Prayers and supplications" were public; their prophesying and speaking with tongues was public also; the multitude heard them
And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly." Acts 18:24-26. Aquila and Priscilla, though husband and wife, both were gospel workers, and, laboring together, instructed this eloquent preacher into the way of God more perfectly. They were gifted teachers but did this privately, or in their own home. Each of them possessed the gift and nobly exercised the same. In the original, the name of Priscilla comes before that of Aquila and they are given in that order in the Revised Version. Priscilla was the wife, but she evidently took the initiative in this case.
"And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." Acts 21:8, 9. Philip's four daughters did prophesy; Luke says they did, who dare say they did not? Paul in the fourteenth chapter of first Corinthians, exhorts the members of the church to seek the gift of prophecy for the edifying of the church: and, speaking to those having the gift, he says, "Ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted." Paul defines the term "prophesy" by saying, "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort." 1 Cor. 14:3. In this chapter prophecy is numbered with the gifts of the Spirit. The same thought is brought out in the following texts: "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation." Rom. 12:6-8. Teaching, exhortation, and prophecy are gifts. In order to teach, we need the gift of teaching; to exhort, we must have the gift of exhortation; and to prophesy, we need the gift of prophecy. The daughters of Philip had this gift and possessed grace enough to use it.
Inasmuch as edification, exhortation, and comfort are in this gift of prophecy, it might be profitable to analyze it. In connection with this analysis, bear in mind that the prophet of the Old Testament, Joel, by name, said: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy," and "on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy." Thereby women were to become laborers in the gospel.
1 Cor. 12:1-11 is a dissertation on spiritual gifts. From verse 8 to 10, the elementary gifts are specified, namely, wisdom, faith, knowledge, healing, miracles, tongues, interpretation, prophecy, etc. Teaching and exhortation are not mentioned in this list, only as they are comprehended in the gift of prophecy. Utterance is also a gift of the Spirit. See Acts 2:4; Eph. 6:19; Mark 13:11. We can not teach what we do not know; we need the gift of knowledge in order to teach, and wisdom to be able to teach the proper thing at the right time. We must have utterance, or we can not tell what we do know. We must teach according to the proportion of faith, then we must have faith. It takes the rudimentary gifts of knowledge, faith, wisdom, and utterance in order to be apt to teach. Exhortation comprehends the same gifts and differs only in this respect, that teaching operates by way of analysis, expounding, explaining, unfolding, revealing, reasoning, etc., which appeals to the intellect, and convinces the judgment; while exhortation is more explosive, and appeals to the emotions, to stir up action after the judgment has been convinced through teaching. Prophecy contains all the rudiments that are found in teaching and exhortation, and holds a somewhat more extensive knowledge in the mysteries of the salvation plan, prophetic utterances, types, shadows, symbols, etc. See 1 Cor. 13:2. "Though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge."
"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"; but prophesying includes something more than testimony; it includes teaching, exhortation, and edification, by unfolding the deep mysteries of the kingdom, and it also may include foretelling of events, etc. Prophecy is no inferior gift in the church, and those who possess it are called prophets. Prophets in the New Testament are second to the apostles in point of qualification and responsibility, etc. "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers," etc. 1 Cor. 12:28. When Jesus first gave gifts to his ministers he said, "Freely ye have received, freely give." Again, "Having gifts . . . whether prophecy, let us prophesy." Rom. 12:6. "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." 1 Pet. 4:10. "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." Eph. 4:8, 11-13.
Through the distribution of these gifts officers are constituted in the church. Without these gifts neither men nor women are fit for office in the church. God made no discrimination of sex on Pentecost: all alike were baptized with the Holy Ghost. Cloven tongues like as of fire sat upon each of them, and they spake as the Spirit gave them utterance. They (men and women) spake in tongues and prophesied. The daughters of Philip prophesied. Phebe, a sister, was a servant (minister) of the church at Cenchrea. See Rom. 16:1. Priscilla and Aquila, wife and husband, became helpers with Paul in his ministerial work (Rom. 16:3), and on a former occasion instructed a young preacher by the name of Apollos (See Acts 18:24-28), and he got sanctified and became more efficient in the ministry. The church at Philippi sent a bounty to Paul at Rome, by the hand of Epaphroditus, at which time Paul dictated the epistle to the Philippians, and sent it back with Epaphroditus, in which he says, "And I entreat thee [Epaphroditus], true yokefellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with others my fellow-laborers." Phil. 4:3. This epistle is addressed to all the saints at Philippi, with the bishops (overseers) and deacons. Evidently, 'those women which labored with him in the gospel' were included among the overseers and deacons; for that was their mission, according to the nature of the offices mentioned. In Rom. 16 several women laborers in the gospel are mentioned, and in verse 7 one Junia (a woman's name) is referred to as an apostle.
Paul discusses the propriety of the oriental veil in connection with women praying and prophesying. The custom of the veil he declares to be a custom of the people, and not of the church, etc. See 1 Cor. 11. Had the church and the apostle been opposed to women praying and prophesying, Paul never would have given directions for their service in that line.
What office may women hold in the church? Answer. Any office wherein God sets them by virtue of the gifts he bestows upon them, and they may hold no office for which they have no corresponding gift from God. The same is true with men.
The Negative of This Question
There is no negative to this teaching and testimony except that which denies the Word of God. The word "man" has been used as argument, but that betrays gross ignorance respecting the use of that term in the Scriptures, which in general applies to mankind or the human family in common, without reference to sex. The context usually determines whether the term man is used specifically to denote sex, or in general to denote the human family, male and female, in common.
Two Scripture texts have been cited by our opponents. One is: "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." 1 Cor. 14:34, 35. This can not refer in any wise to women who have spiritual gifts, but to those who do not have them and are anxious to learn; and only their interrogative interruptions are here prohibited, and that wisely too. The second text our opponents offer is the following: "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." 1 Tim. 2:11, 12. This can not refer to women ministering through spiritual gifts, for God always gives with the gift the authority for the ministration of the same. Even in case of a husband and wife, if the wife is gifted and the husband not, she has the authority to exercise the gift, and she is not usurping any authority which belongs to him. The authority in the church belongs with the gifts to those possessing them, and not to some relative, wife or husband. Neither can this refer to officers in the church, as it is the gifts which determine the office to be filled, etc., and the authority comes by virtue of the gifts. Evidently, husband and wife are under consideration, and as such, both have their place and responsibility. Their authority always corresponds with their responsibility. And if woman tries to take or usurp the authority which belongs to the responsibility of her husband, she gets out of her place.

More drama then war.
lordhoot | Anchorage, Alaska USA | 08/09/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I am bit surprised to read the two previous reviews. The AnimEigo edition of Samurai Banners proves to be well presented and its subtitles with its different colors to see who's talking proves to be one of the highlights. This movie got excellent subtitles!! Maybe that reviewer who didn't get the subtitles should check his DVD player. He may have turned something off.
I enjoyed watching Samurai Banners despite of its 163 minutes or so length and the fact that its more of a samurai drama film with a war theme then anything else. Toshiro Mifune who have been considered as Japan's verison of John Wayne is well cast in this movie as it followed the destiny of the Takeda clan through many campaigns. For those who may care, Takeda clan also featured in the film, Kagamusha. Mifune's character, Yamamoto Kansuke (real historical figure), joined the clan, and it helped lead it to many victories, gaining the trust and confidence of his lord and along the way, fall in love with his lord's concubine. The movie is well acted, scripted and directed although fans of bloody battles may have to look else where.
Although the movie seem to dragged here and there but overall, despite of the length, the film moves with great deal of interest. The audience will be caught up in the going on of the Takeda clan and its struggles as they faced stronger foes as the movie goes on. For any Mifune fan, this movie should be on the mandatory buy list. Although Mifune's fortune fell after he left his partnership with Kurosawa, this movie still showed him at his best.
There are couple of interesting extras in this package. There is a one about character biographies which should be watch before the movie since it introduced the viewer to all the major characters of the movie. It probably be easier to followed the film. Second for more die-hard fan, there is Interactive Program Notes which gives you a super basic history lesson on period of warring warlords in Japan. It might be interesting to read this before watching the film. It may help understand the motivation behind some of the characters. Both features are pretty short in duration.
Overall a pretty good film, not boring and although bit pricy, a definitely worth the money.
(History minded viewer should read the book Kawanakajima 1553-64 by Stephen Turnbull for more in-depth historical look at the background of this movie. Its part of the Osprey Campaign Series #130.)"
Good War Epic
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I liked this movie a lot. It may not have the depth of a Kurosawa samurai epic. But the film's director, Hiroshi Inagaki was no slouch. Anyone who's seen his other movies (Chushingura, Samurai Trilogy, just to name a few) knows he's very adept at handling sweeping dramas with large casts of characters.The Japanese title of this movie is Furinkazan which refers to the Kanji characters on the banner flown by the Takeda clan. It describes the military strategy of the clan's leader, Shingen - swift as the wind (fu), quiet as a forest (rin), aggressive like fire (ka), and stable like a mountain (zan). I guess that's a little too much to put in an English title!The battle scenes in this movie are pretty good. But I also liked the story of unrequitted love involving two of the main characters, Kansuke Yamamoto and Princess Yu. Toshiro Mifune plays Kansuke, an actual historical figure who was a military strategist for the Takeda clan. Yoshiko Sakuma gives a spirited performance as the beautiful and sometimes feisty princess. Some Western viewers may find the movie's love story a little strange since there are no open declarations of affection, and no hugging and kissing. This is a typical old-fashioned Japanese romance.The movie reaches its climax at Kawanakajima, the scene of one of the most famous battles in Japanese history. It was there that Kansuke made a huge military blunder that nearly spelled doom for the Takeda clan.If you like epic war dramas with a little romance thrown in, then you might want to give this movie a try."
A Superb Samurai Period Film
Samurai Warrior Bob | United States | 01/05/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This superb period film does not make the mistake of concentrating on either of the two warring lords Takeda and/or Kagetora but instead focus' on Takeda's most celebrated general Kansuke Yamamoto (Toshiro Mifune), who was the brain behind the victories anyway. His story is much more interesting, both as one of a man driven by a wildly ambitious dream, and also one consumed with tragic love. On either level this film works wonders.
Set in Japan between 1543 and 1562 (the period of Warring States) SAMURAI BANNERS is an epic film! The costumes are impeccable, the film is engrossing and I didn't even realize it was almost three hours long. The battles are nicely done, but not overindulging. (For people who come for the violent samurai films, SAMURAI BANNERS will be sure to disappoint.) Toshiro Mifune is great, even with a shaved head!
The English subtitles by AnimEgo were superb, probably one of the best I've seen, they even had different colors for different characters. They also provided running explanations for some of the terms used in conversation. Very complete, very nicely done, and nary a grammatical error.
I can't wait for this film to appear on DVD, the VHS transfer, although decent, cannot do the colors justice.
A John Ford-ish Japanese historical epic.
Yongwook Yoo | Montreal, Quebec Canada | 08/10/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"If anybody not to enjoy bluffs of acrobatic samurai-ninja messacre, this is the very choice. The classic example of relationship between great commander and thoughtful lieutenant (probably comparable to that of MacArther and Ike! ). The story is based on the earlier life of the Great Takeda Shinken, whose reputation is far above Tokugawa and Toyotomi even today. Takeda and his best warrior, Gen. Yamamoto Kansuke(Toshiro Mifune)'s struggle to empower the clan among numerous medieval lordships is well illustrated. Takashi Shimura(A Kurosawa's favorite, in Seven Samurai and Ikiru)'s performance is superb, costumes and music is very well-organized as if the shot was located in real medieval Japan. Not only good documentary for understanding the aura and sprit of Japanese warlords, but also comparable text to classic hollywood western genre in terms of stereotyped masculinity. If somebody eager for the sequel to this film, Kurosawa's 'Kagemusha' might be the right stuff. A MUST ONE!"

The instruction from the Prime Minister, David Cameron, to his Ministerial team could not have been clearer:
"Today, there are over 21,000 statutory rules and regulations in force, and I want us to bring that number – and the burden it represents – down. Indeed, I want us to be the first government in modern history to leave office having reduced the overall burden of regulation, rather than increasing it."
"This marks a change from the old ways of doing things – and its success will depend on you and your department being fully behind this approach. So this is not a polite request to 'reduce regulation if you can,' it is a change in approach that means Ministerial teams should see themselves personally accountable for the number of regulations contained within and coming out of departments, and the burden they impose. Be in no doubt: all those unnecessary rules that place ridiculous burdens on our businesses and on society – they must go, once and for all."
These were not the words of a Conservative Prime Minister forcing through his agenda on an unwilling Coalition partner. Both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats had made firm commitments to deregulate in their 2010 general election manifestos. In doing so, they were building on more than two decades of sustained regulatory activism – initially, a programme of "deregulation" under the Thatcher and Major administrations, followed by a programme of "better regulation" under the Blair and Brown administrations.
At first sight, this long-standing preoccupation with regulation is perplexing. After all, no government introduces a new regulation believing that, by doing so, it will make society worse. Yet successive regimes – of both the Left and the Right – have worried about the cumulative impact of regulation, particularly the impact on business. The approach taken by the Coalition Government has been twofold: with action not only to stem the "flow" of new regulation but also to reduce the "stock" of existing regulation.
In its latest self-assessment, published earlier this year, the Government reported that the sum total of its deregulatory programme to date has been to reduce the annual cost to business by £1.5 billion. In measuring its own performance, however, the Government has allowed itself some generous exemptions – simply ignoring the cost of any regulation relating to financial systemic risk and likewise ignoring all regulation originating in Europe. More controversially, the Government has broken its own rules in the calculation of its single largest regulatory "out". Estimated at £3.3 billion, this single change is 11 times larger than the next biggest "out" and single-handedly pays for every single regulatory "in" recorded by the Government during its entire period in office.
Correcting these mistakes reveals that, instead of saving £1.5 billion, the Coalition Government has in fact increased the regulatory burden on business by at least £3.1 billion. Against an ambition of removing at least £1 of regulation for every £1 it introduces, the Government has actually introduced at least £3.50 of regulation for every £1 it has so far removed. The Prime Minister has comprehensively failed in his ambition to leave office with less regulation than he inherited.
Yet despite this failure, the Prime Minister must be congratulated for sheer determination of his Ministerial team to tackle over-regulation. It is probably fair to say that the Coalition Government has been more thoroughgoing than any of its predecessors in seeking to reduce both the flow and stock of regulation. The next government must build on this legacy by:

"Sources at Kyocera have confirmed that the company is to cease production of film and digital cameras, putting a huge question mark over the future of one of the oldest brands in photography, Contax." (story)
It's a shame to see how the so-called free market, the true God the Western world is currently praying to, is destroying so many companies. It teaches you a simple lesson - which Europeans will understand much more easily than Americans - namely that if you measure everything by whether it's profitable or not you're making a big mistake.
PS: It especially irks me to see that Kyocera will now be "concentrating on its mobile phone and semiconductor business." As if cell phones added any value to human society!
PPS (7 March): Mark Tucker brought my attention to this somewhat more precise article according to which "the 645 range would continue in production for the foreseeable future." That's excellent news - even though I don't have one of those. Any step away from the on-going uniformity in photography is good news.

The Lapeer County Medical Care Facility, a 202-bed medical care facility, proposed to construct a new addition and renovate portions of the facility, with a goal of increasing the number private rooms available to residents and provide residents with a more homelike setting.
To provide a more homelike setting for residents, "neighborhoods" were created to allow the residents to live in an environment made of smaller groups and avoid the institutional feel of a larger community. Each neighborhood contains a living room and small dining room served by satellite kitchens. All nursing services are confined to the neighborhood, thus providing a more nurturing environment.
Phase one of the project included eight neighborhood centers and allows for 52 private resident rooms and 40 semiprivate rooms.

Artist: The Break Up
CD title: The Break Up
Label: Self-Released
Genre: Alternative, Electro, Pop
Website: http://wearethebreakup.com/
Reviewer: DJ Kantrip
Date: 04/08/2011
Buy Here: http://thebreakup.bandcamp.com/
The Break Up is quickly becoming Seattle Washington's most impressive Electro Rock act, with their unique style of New Wave, Alternative Pop, and Darkwave. Since 2007, The Break Up has been carving out a unique and captivating sound, since one bizarre night when Shane Allen Hall (of Seattle' Hardcore DJ scene) and Severina X Sol (Cylab and Fockewolf) started to put hands on keyboards and voice to lyrics to give the project life. After a few years of experimentation and toil, the band debuted their first LP in April 2010.
The Break Up's self-titled debut is a twisted musical ride that varies between simple and profound, and then shifts to complex and mystical. Opening the album are Electro Pop songs like Her Fire and Who's Crying Now which are rather reminiscent of Missing Persons or Berlin. A little bit of electro with infectious punk rock vocals that seem to coax the listener into unconsciously singing along. Good high energy songs perfect for a late night drive when you need a bit of hope and rage to make that road a bit more bearable. Tracks like Addict or My Machine have hard angry drums with Kraftwerk-esque synths beeping away while the lyrics are spoken. Good dance floor fillers that have soul behind the beats, and set them apart from other "four on the floor" songs the DJ may be spinning. Closing the album, are songs like Requiem and Trapeze which have have an upbeat and dreamy synthpop feel to them. Softer beats, but still uncontrollably dancey. This reviewer was focused on the descriptive and hopeful lyrics that Sol belts out on these songs however. A bit dark in tone, but ultimately words that fill a heart with wonder or strive to spark a mind that's a bit too weary by life's day to day concerns. Considering the many influences and experiences Hall and Sol bring to this project, to get so many flavors on one album to synchronize is impressive.
Recently the band added Sarah Ann Stewart (former Cruxshadows dancer) and Rey Guajardo (former Christ Analogue / SMP) to their live performances adding live drums and keyboards to an already colorful stage presence. Visually, the band has a Cabaret meets Punk Rock style that utilizes sequined masks, feather boas, and garish makeup, with torn clothing, fetish wear, and a strong sense of DIY. Include Hall's experience as a shock drag queen, Sol's hypnotic stage presence, Stewart's graceful style and movement, and Guajardo's passionate energy, and the stage becomes an explosion of color and sound that is hard to forget.
In summary, this reviewer highly recommends The Break Up. Listen to them on their Bandcamp page, and if you, the reader, can catch a performance, it is highly recommended as well. The band is currently working on a new album which is rumored to be released in 2011, and while they mostly play along the West Coast, it will not be long before The Break Up breaks out and spreads their unique vision across the world.

BT-07 Smokscreen GT.
Good price, and well packed. Will gladly deal with him again.
Gave me a good deal on BTA-3 Broadblast and it arrived well-packed and in great condition.
I retract my previous post. All has been solved. Due to a family emergency and a lack of communication there was a delay in shipping out my item.
Good dude!! great communication, easy to deal with, shipped right away. I would deal with him again without hesitation.
This guy is 184% AWESOME! Items were packed well and came quickly! Thanks again man!
Good guy! I bought some custom energon cubes from him. The first package got lost in the mail, and he replaced it no questions asked and gave me a tracking number. I'd totally buy from him again.
Bought a couple of Binaltechs from Charles. Well packaged and kept me informed via PM. A great transaction!
bought some wsts from him for a great price. i guess there was a shipping mistake but items did eventually come very very well packed thanks and MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
Bought a couple of wst from him, was packed well and received tracking info right away. Shipping took a bit longer than I though but no big deal, it arrived safe and sound. Thanks.
Just did a some what sizable transaction with him and everything arrived very well packed and in a very timely manner. Most importantly to me, the communication was great. Hope to deal with again ^^, thanks a lot C. Wallace!
Very memorable transaction for me. C. Wallace has shown himself to be a great guy through this exchange. When changing circumstances on my end kind of affected the transaction at hand, Wallace, without missing a beat, offered to refund one of my items. Long story short, this is just a great guy to deal with. As some people have said, it may take a while for your package to arrive, but never lose confidence in him, because he'll deliver with flying colors. A+++
Great, trustworthy guy and overall, a smooth transaction. Trade with confidence, although expect that you'll need patience.
He traded me a Generations Dirge for Reveal the Shield Windcharger. Fast shipping, good deal, nice guy.
Bought a pair of mini-cassettes off of C. Wallace. First the good part: Chip himself was pleasant and accommodating throughout our correspondence (when I could get a hold of him). The figures arrived well packaged and in good condition.
The bad part: It took a full three and a half months, a few convoluted stories of postal misdirection, a half dozen unanswered emails and finally the intervention of a board moderator before his package made its way to my door. Personally, I've had my fill with this experience and so won't be dealing with him again in the future. Sorry Chip.
Great guy sold me Alternators Swerve,Decepticharge,Mirage,Rodiumus.

Source: Hard Hidz
On episode 10 of Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast, a press conference aired with current WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz talking about his title reign being better than Dean Ambrose's recent run with the gold and his goals for the Intercontinental Championship, cutting his career revitalizing promo on Talking Smack, and live crowds hijacking in-ring segments.
"I make this title relevant, so I have to keep this title. Now, Dean Ambrose in the ring, no doubt he's very good at what he does. Yes, we know, we get it - you're a big fan, but Dean Ambrose is someone to be reckoned with in the WWE ring and I know that for a fact for sure. But him as the Intercontinental Champion, his reign wasn't as good as when I have the title and as prestigious as when I have the title because that's what it's all about to me because me as a kid growing up the Ultimate Warriors, the Shawn Michaels, the Bret Harts, they were all the workhorses of the WWE. They were the ones to make it prestigious and I am that guy. And as good as Dean Ambrose is, he's not The Miz."
The Miz stated that he wants the Intercontinental Championship title to be talked about more and given more time than the Universal title.
"When it's more talked about than the Universal title, given more airtime, which obviously it has been because someone doesn't show up a lot, but it's quite alright. He is 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar and he has earned the right to do that because, I mean, let's face it. When he's on the show, you want to watch to see what's going to happen next." The Miz continued, "right now, the Intercontinental title is the title on the show, the single's title, on the show, so applause to me."
With respect to The Miz's impassioned promo on Daniel Bryan from Talking Smack, 'The Awesome One' recalled that he was angry that day because he was the Intercontinental Champion and not doing anything and that many Superstars before him said they want to make the IC title prestigious again, but it is merely lip service. The Miz claimed he asked to be put on Talking Smack when he was told he was not going to be used on SmackDown.
"I was pissed. I was angry. And the main reason I was angry, so that day, I get to the building and I'm Intercontinental Champion. As Intercontinental Champion, I was doing nothing. I was like, 'I have this title, it's the title I remember as a kid thinking, 'God, I love this title.' I always wanted to be that guy. Everybody always says, 'I'm going to make this title relevant again,' 'I'm going to make it prestigious,' and everybody's always chomping their gums doing that and it always seems like whoever was Intercontinental Champion would be losing every single match until the Intercontinental Championship match and win. I didn't want to be that Superstar. I didn't want to be that guy. So I get to the building and they tell me, 'yeah, you're not needed today on the show.' I'm like, 'excuse me? I'm the Intercontinental Champion.' 'Sorry, yeah, we're debuting the new Tag Team titles and we're debuting the new Women's title, so we kind of don't have enough room for the Intercontinental title.' And I went, 'huh. You're telling me the rich history of this title, all the Superstars that held this title before me are just irrelevant because we have two new titles you need to put in there?' And so, I go, 'put me on Talking Smack tonight.' And they go, 'why?' I go, 'everything I'm going to unleash it on Daniel. He's the General Manager. He's the person to get things done, right? Well, he's going to need to get things done.'"
Notably, The Miz admitted that he fully expected Bryan to deck him, but did not think he would storm off.
"We went in there and I had no idea he was going to walk away. I was actually planning on him hitting me, like, 'when is he going to hit me? When is he going to hit me?' And I knew I couldn't hit him back. But I was just so angry and it got the attention it needed and I succeeded at doing what I wanted to do, which was making the title mean something."
Interestingly, The Miz suggested that Talking Smack is great because sometimes the live crowd derails things.
"It's great, right? Yeah, I love it. I love Talking Smack. I though they do an incredible job with it and they allow the Superstars to really shine, Superstars you don't really get to see. A lot of it, I'll be honest, the crowd messes up a lot of stuff. They can make a promo and elevate it and make it the most amazing thing ever or they can really shut it down. A couple of things that happen that people don't realize, I'll be cutting a promo and there will be one guy, one guy, and he's like [shouting incoherently] and nobody else hears him� everyone in the audience hears him, but the people at home don't hear him. I hear him, but I'm trying to get across what I need to get across and showcase what we're doing for the millions at home, but one guy is ruining it for everyone. Or they'll start the 'what' chant."

Making money with free affiliate programs online.
How to make money online affiliate marketing is sometimes challenging and takes some time to learn to do effectively. The challenge of offering the right product to the right person at the right time confuses many. Guru guides seem to only offer bits and pieces of the puzzle. Sad to say this article can't cover fully but this newsletter will offer you continued training in. theFreeGuru is a tremendous resource monetized by advertising and affiliate opportunities, our business depends on the same techniques we teach.
How to make money with online affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is best described as being a broker of information. In our case we are building a community around information we are expert or semi expert in. This is called niche community building. We do it this connecting with like minded people who share your interest, offering them something new to read. You don't have to be an expert. We just have to use the research skills you used to write book reports in school. Get facts to weave into a personal story about that part of your niche.
Example: Article Topic / Model Airplanes – Finding the right Glue. Product: Acme Glue 750 Storyline: The time I used the wrong glue and how I found Acme Glue 750.
Example Summary
In this example we show a basic mind map for a great article. You can easily find 2-3 suppliers to offer a great model cement or glue for comparison and potential ordering. Done right the reader will understand that you have tried other glues and prefer the one you recommend. They will understand why you prefer it from your own experience.. This type article catches people at the research phase. That is when they are trying to decide which glue is right for the job they are doing. It then walks them through the process of decision, and leads them to a choice of suppliers to buy now.
Working in this manner establishes you as an expert in model building. This will help you recommend and review other products in the future. I will advise you to also have other articles of interest that offer nothing for sale. This way your blog doesn't look like sales pitch after sales pitch. A following will be formed. Thus links will be created as other bloggers site your articles as research for post of their own.
How to make money online affiliate marketing / finding affiliate programs.
In addition to common programs like Clickbank, JV Zoo, Share-A-Sale, Commission Junction, and Linkshare which represent hundreds or even thousands of merchants and information sellers you can also find thousands of independent affiliate programs offered directly by the seller.
To find these often higher paying offers by direct sellers you can type the product name and affiliate program as an exact phrase like, "Acme Glue 750 Affiliate Program" in Google Advanced Search. You can also find affiliate programs for retailers or specialty retailers by changing your search to something like "Model Airplane Supplies affiliate program" and you can get a good list of places to shop in your niche.
Keep a spreadsheet of your affiliate programs, login details, affiliate ID number and if possible the name of product you are promoting from them. Often it is easy to forget where you go to check your stats. Especially if you don't have such a data sheet and work numerous suppliers.
Online Affiliate Programs Make Easy Money Scaling Up
While it is possible to use a single product and make money online affiliate marketing. It is often best and typically so to have a range of related products making you money. A single niche can be lucrative but imagine that you like airplane modeling and playing golf. Why not write about both passions and the products related to them? I never advise writing about things you are not interested. This is because it makes your business a JOB instead of something you look forward to working on. Be passionate and write about the things you LOVE.
[tweetthis display_mode="box"]Everyone can earn money online affiliate marketing.[/tweetthis]
How to find out what kind of things people researching your niche are actually looking for?
I use a tool called Jaaxy which will take a small phrase like "affiliate marketing" or "make money online affiliate marketing" and show me other terms related to those search terms people are looking for like, "how to make money with online affiliate marketing" which have fewer sites targeting the term and still have a large amount of traffic coming to them. Jaaxy will help you find keywords to target so people find your articles in internet searches. Thus will help you find related domain names, ideas for related search term follow up articles and more while showing you how many sites and what kind of traffic potential your articles are facing to reach page 1 in Google.
Finally with search terms and article topics having found a great niche domain name that you can host on here. You will soon find yourself with a firm answer to your original question, "how to make money online affiliate marketing?".

Reading chief Nicky Hammond is confident their two January signings will make an impact during the remainder of this season.
Royals paid around £1million to Mlada Boleslav for Marek Matejovsky, while Jimmy Kebe joined for £400,000 from French Second Division outfit Boulogne, where he was on loan from Lens.
"There has been a line of them over time and although people didn't know the two lads we have brought in this window, Matejovsky's a good player. There's no question about that.
"There is always a period of adjustment. Jimmy is a strange one. He's a player that every time we saw he had a massive effect on the game.
"He's quick. I'm not sure how fast, but I think he'd be the quickest at the club now. He'll bring us something different and we hope he'll have an impact before the end of the season."
Hammond added: "It escaped us why he wasn't playing in the French First Division.
"I think sometimes in Europe if players don't fit they go out on loan and almost get lost to the club system.
"We're thorough in our diligence of looking at players. We had seen him over a period of time and in the wacky world of the Premiership it was a small deal and we feel it's a decent take. Hopefully it will prove to be so."

Songs remain the same, sadly
Karly Cox
The American singer-songwriter has been described as some sort of nouvelle Nancy Sinatra - and there's something both physically similar in her heavy-lidded eyes and vocally, in her drawly voice. So her album, comes laced with expectations. Sadly, her glamorous looks belie her talent on Born to Die.
The opening, title song begins promisingly enough, with luxuriant soaring strings, then Del Ray's languid voice begs: "Feet don't fail me now".
In places, her lyrical abilities rival many a respected rapper - in Diet Mountain Dew, she rhymes "sunglasses" with "the past says" - as does her scansion, the way she makes words fit to a line.
The juxtaposition of a mode of modern entertainment with a 1960s sound on lead single Video Games is nigh on genius.
The problem is, even with little changes of pace in the rockier Off To The Races, or the jazzy Million Dollar Man, the tracks sound all the same; so are the themes (bad love affairs; a need for attention). Del Ray sounds as if she's just woken up, and singing is the last thing she feels like doing.
Sadly, this is one artist who doesn't deserve the hype.

Sapphire Pure 1250W Power Supply Review
Environmental Factors:
The Sapphire Pure 1250W actually scores quite high in this section and the only let-down is the inclusion of the black canvas bag for the modular cables which is really unnecessary. They come in a nice cardboard box that in my opinion is all that's needed. There is no foam used in the packaging and everything is neatly and securely packed in cardboard boxes making the majority of the packaging recycleable and the box is even printed in non-toxic vegetable oil based ink!
Price Per the Watt:
Power Supply: Sapphire Pure 1250W at $TBA = $0.XX/Watt (10-2009)
The build quality is excellent and the white LED lighting on the large chrome cooling fan will I'm sure, appeal to some enthusiasts with a liking for case lighting. The Sapphire Pure 1250W with its six 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors will easily power any SLI or Crossfire configuration using two or even three high-end graphics cards. We are starting to see the move away from devices with 4 pin peripheral (Molex) power connectors and the Sapphire Pure 1250W with only 6 of these and a massive 16 SATA power connectors reflects this trend. The modular cable connectors for PCI-E power on the Sapphire Pure 1250W power supply are 12 pin and with all the included cables utilised there is still one spare. Sapphire have pointed out in the enclosed literature that extra cables will be made available should any future developments require more than the 8 pin PCI-E connector and therefore avoid the need for a power supply upgrade.
The Sapphire Pure 1250W with its excellent electrical performance, great build quality and quiet running, puts it up there with the best and I have no hesitation in awarding it an OCC Gold award. If you need this much power or just want to install one because you can, then I have no hesitation in recommending it for serious consideration but check your case - because it's a little deeper than your average power supply at nearly 7.5 inches (190mm)!
- Excellent DC voltage load regulation.
- 80 Plus Bronze certified.
- Good DC quality.
- Build quality.
- Modular capabilities.
- PowerGuard indicator LED.
- Post cooling design.

Horizons Chef Makes History
Richard Landau puts vegan cuisine on the menu for the first time at the James Beard House in New York
by Gail Berrigan
When a chef from Philadelphia is invited to cook at a landmark culinary establishment in New York City, it's news. When the 5-course gourmet meal—each course paired with wine—is the first strictly vegetarian dinner ever served there, it's historic. And when guests attending the dinner don't realize the food is vegan—well, that's something of a coup.
Richard Landau, who along with his wife, Kate Jacoby, is chef and co-owner of Horizons restaurant in Philadelphia, has been earning widespread accolades for his food and winning over diners—vegetarians and omnivores alike—for many years. On a recent Tuesday night, Rich was in the kitchen of the James Beard House, where along with dinner, he was making culinary history.
The James Beard House: Celebrating America's Distinct Culinary Heritage
It's easy to walk past the townhouse in Greenwich Village and not notice it. But behind the unassuming façade of the James Beard House (JBH) have passed the most famous names in 20th century American food: Alice Waters, Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter, Wolfgang Puck, Eric Ripert, Ruth Reichl, Julia Child… these are just a few of those honored by the James Beard Foundation, which annually establishes the culinary equivalent of the Oscars.
During his lifetime, James Beard—who lived at the house on 12th St.—became known for embracing and helping to define a distinctly American style of cooking. His signature style is "good food, honestly prepared with fresh, wholesome, American ingredients" and his name has become synonymous with culinary excellence. After Beard's death in 1985, friends established the James Beard House to honor and continue his tradition of "celebrating, nurturing and preserving America's culinary heritage" by hosting meals prepared by great chefs from outside the New York metro area, at the same time showcasing the talents of emerging chefs.
A Commitment to Compassionate Eating
The emergence of Rich Landau—along with his upscale vegan cuisine—as a culinary leader should come as a relief to Americans searching for ways to eat more compassionately and avoid diseases associated with a diet heavy in animal products. Some, like the New York Times food writer Mark Bittman see a switch to more vegetarian foods as a cause to celebrate. Indeed, Bittman's approach has led him to explore and experiment with recipes in ways that seem to inspire his natural exuberance for food (see the recent Faux Ma Po Tofu). The Humane Society of the United States endorses this approach as a way to encourage the 3 R's of humane eating: "reduce, refine and replace" animal products.
Rich was influenced to become vegetarian at a young age by his mother, who was a proponent of animal rights. He is a self-taught chef whose passion for improving vegetarian cooking has driven him to master the techniques of cooking. His commitment to offering vegetarian options is sincere. According to his sister, Suzanne, who came up from Philadelphia for the JBH event along with other family members, Rich started his professional career selling veggie dogs from a cart at a strip mall.
With an award-winning restaurant in Philadelphia—Horizons was named by the New York Times as one of Philadelphia's Best New Restaurants—and a second cookbook out called Horizons: New Vegan Cuisine, Rich has come a long way from selling veggie dogs. Indeed today, Rich is eminently qualified to convince those in doubt that vegetarian food can be as sophisticated and artful as any American cuisine.
The Menu
Dinner started with portobello carpaccio: wafer-thin slices of mushroom seasoned with peppercorns and served with a rosemary mustard sauce, paired with a dollop of butternut squash bread pudding. This mushroom—resembling nothing of the rubbery sandwich served ubiquitously as the token vegetarian mainstay on non-vegetarian menus—had a shimmering, succulent quality.
Next up: fennel-cauliflower bisque sweetened with sherry and suffused with saffron. Served initially as an artful mound of light-colored vegetables topped with crostini, this dish sprang to life as wait staff filled each bowl individually at the table with a pumpkin-colored puree.
A ravioli made of caramelized celery root followed, topped with royal trumpet mushrooms and served with charred brussel sprouts and a sage-mustard emulsion.
When the entrée came, after three exquisite courses (plus an initial melt-in-your-mouth tasting dish of smoked eggplant), the cumulative themes of the evening showed a clear master plan—and technical mastery of cooking. The salt-roasted beets, served with peppercorn-crusted tofu and leek and parsnip purée, were particularly impressive, the translucent pale pink-orange of the beets reminiscent of Indian silk.
The dessert, a mousse-style pumpkin cheesecake accented with a spoonful of quince jam and chestnut candy, was creamy enough to satisfy even the most indulgent tastes.
"We're not vegan…but that was fabulous."
After dinner, Rich and his restaurant staff took questions from the audience. The sold-out crowd ran the gamut from staunch vegans to health-conscious eaters to devotees of the James Beard House willing to try something new. Reactions were overwhelmingly positive.
Christina and Steve Moriconi came from Philadelphia to show their support for Rich and Kate. An animal lover, Ms. Moriconi described the challenge of being the only vegetarian in her family and her struggles to get the rest of her family on board. Eating at Horizons helped—a lot. Her husband Steve agreed. "When I first went to Horizons, I was really skeptical. I'm a carnivore. But I was really surprised and impressed by the food," he said. Added Christina, "New York City is a very vegetarian-friendly place. Philly is a meat-eating city. But Rich's restaurant blows everyone away."
A trio of 20-something women had come on behalf of the one vegetarian in their midst; this dinner was their birthday gift to her. "David Chang did a [vegetarian but not vegan] dinner here…" one of them remarked. "But this is more intense, I've never seen anything like it." Another diner commented that he had never seen vegetarian food of this caliber.
Indeed, no one appeared to be disappointed, though some were surprised when JBH event host Victoria Jordan announced in closing that the meal had been entirely vegan, including the wines—a first for the establishment. Rich repeated to disbelieving diners that the meal had been prepared entirely without butter or cream. It was easy to understand how guests might have been confused.
Perhaps the best compliment of all came from the guest who said, "We're not vegan or vegetarian, but that was fabulous."
New Horizons
As the name of their restaurant in Philadelphia suggests, Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby are changing the face not only of vegetarian cooking but American cuisine. And as the historic dinner at the James Beard House attests, they are bringing on board skeptics and rewriting the rules, one bite of black olive blini with truffle cream and seaweed caviar at a time.

Shoot the Conductor
Too Close to Monteux, Szell, and Ormandy
Anshel Brusilow and Robin Underdahl
Foreword Reviews 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award Winner in Performing Arts & Music
Anshel Brusilow started playing violin in 1933 at age five, in a Russian Jewish neighborhood of Philadelphia where practicing your instrument was as ordinary as hanging out the laundry. His playing wasn't ordinary, though. At sixteen, he was soloing with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He was also studying conducting.
Brusilow's tumultuous relationships with Pierre Monteux, George Szell, and Eugene Ormandy shaped his early career. Under Szell, Brusilow was associate concertmaster at the Cleveland Orchestra until Ormandy snatched him away to make him concertmaster in Philadelphia, where he remained from 1959 to 1966. But he was unsatisfied with the violin. Even as concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, he felt the violin didn't give him enough of the music. He wanted to conduct. He formed chamber groups on the side; he conducted summer concerts of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The price was high: it ruined his father-son relationship with Ormandy. Brusilow turned in his violin bow for the baton and created his own Philadelphia Chamber Symphony. Next he took on the then-troubled Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Unhappy endings repeat themselves in his memoir—and yet humor dances constantly around the edges. Musicians need it.
Brusilow played with or conducted many top-tier classical musicians and has something to say about each one. He also made many recordings. Co-written with Robin Underdahl, his memoir is a fascinating view of American classical music as well as an inspiring story of a working-class immigrant child making good in a tough arena.
After a long and distinguished career in music, ANSHEL BRUSILOW retired from conducting the Richardson Symphony and lives in Dallas. ROBIN UNDERDAHL holds an MFA in creative writing from Columbia University and writes fiction, nonfiction, and memoir. She also lives in Dallas.
