Of course they do. I went to cosmetology school and I know people who have done lace front wigs for a lot of white women. In my experience you will find a lot of them in the more upscale hair salons in the rich neighborhoods, because they are so expensive. When I was going to cosmetology school bonded weaves were more popular then. That was about 4 years ago.

In this day and age, £1 0 only goes so far, but this season it could get you into Wembley to watch the Checkatrade Trophy Final.
Ticket sales for this season's final have been selling fast, with excitement building as Coventry City and Oxford United prepare to go head-to-head on Sunday 2 April for the first time under the famous arch.
Current ticket sales, more than two weeks out from the big day, indicate that the attendance for the final will be one of the highest in the competition's history with over 60,000 tickets already sold.
The £10 ticket price applies for supporters aged 16 and under.
The final has captured the imagination of young supporters from both clubs, with more than 10,000 junior tickets having been purchased to date.
It will be the Sky Blues' first trip to Wembley for 30 years, but for Oxford, the national stadium is familiar territory, having played in the final of this competition last season, losing out to now Championship side Barnsley.
EFL Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey said: "It has been very encouraging to see how ticket sales have progressed and it is great that so many young fans are coming to watch what promises to be an exciting and competitive final.
"The £10 offer is fantastic opportunity to experience a special occasion at Wembley Stadium, the home of football in this country, and I urge as many of our finalists' young fans and families to take advantage."
The two teams have met twice this season in the league, both claiming home victories with Coventry winning 2-1 in October, and Oxford claiming a 4-1 victory the following month at the Kassam Stadium.
Kevin Byrne, Founder and CEO of Checkatrade, said: "We're delighted that the EFL are offering this fantastic deal to young supporters for what should be a great game of football. As a proud community-driven business, we're thrilled that youngsters from across the country can experience Wembley at a competitive price.
This is a great opportunity to attend the home of football and we look forward to seeing lots of young supporters at the Checkatrade Trophy Final on Sunday 2nd April."
Tickets can be purchased via the Coventy City ticket office. For Oxford United tickets, further information is available by visiting www.oufc.co.uk.

Samsung UN28H4000 LED TV Review
Tiny TV or massive monitor: You can't go wrong with Samsung's 2014 entry-level offering.
With TVs getting larger and curvier, you'd think that no company would bother to craft a basic 28-inch model in 2014—except Samsung. If you're in need of a diminutive, feature-free telly, then Sammy's UN28H4000 (MSRP $339.99) might be the display you're looking for, especially with sale prices dipping as low as $238.
Before you place your order, though, make sure you know exactly what the H4000 offers: a 720p screen, a basic list of picture settings, and a bare minimum of ports. If you're a TV enthusiast, this display's lackluster contrast won't impress you at all. But if you want a small set that looks good with cable content, you can't do much better—unless you can find last year's model, that is.
The Look
One unique TV—just kidding! It's a black plastic rectangle.
If you've seen any HDTV before, you already know what to expect with the Samsung UN28H4000. This little fella is your standard black, plastic rectangle with a black plastic stand. At least Samsung added a curved strip of (you guessed it) plastic underneath the logo to give this display a bit of character.
For connectivity options, there isn't much. Samsung equipped its entry-level LED with two HDMI inputs, a USB slot, a component/composite input, a digital audio output, and a headphone jack. In other words, using this with a cable box and a streaming device—nothing more—works out perfectly.
Also on the back of the H4000 is the Jog Stick, which offers manual controls in case you can't find your remote. For anyone unfamiliar with these Samsung joystick thingamajiggies: Press it in to power the TV on, and press it once more to prompt the menu; move it left and right to control volume, or up and down to change channels (if your TV is connected to the cable box via a coax cable).
The remote bundled with the H4000 is nearly identical to every other Samsung remote, just smaller with little buttons and no internet controls. Samsung deserves praise for including a button that illuminates the remote, a feature that usually doesn't come on entry-level TVs. If you ever watch movies in a dark room, you know how helpful a light-up remote can really be.
The Picture
View your 28-inch TV from any angle... or not
You know that age-old philosophical question about the tree falling in the woods? The same goes for Samsung's UN28H4000: If a 28-inch TV offered incredible picture quality, would anyone care? Conversely: If a 28-inch TV has a so-so image, would that be a deal breaker?
The image on the H4000 display is by no means incredible, but it's more than adequate for a device that will probably be someone's secondary TV.
With the picture mode set to Movie, colors look fairly accurate out of the box. Blues and reds are almost perfectly saturated, while greens are technically too vibrant. With a cable box hooked up, I didn't notice any color issues.
One area of disappointment is the all-important black level. The H4000 achieves a rather poor score here, and oddly enough, is worse than its predecessor: the F4000. Lackluster black levels mean substandard contrast, and that makes for an image that just doesn't pop.
Even though the screen doesn't get very dark, it has great uniformity. That means the H4000 doesn't succumb to the terrible disorder known as flashlighting, or bright spots on a dark screen.
Another plus is this Samsung's killer viewing angle, although I have to bring up the "tree falling in the woods" metaphor again. Does anyone really care that a 28-inch TV offers fantastic off-angle viewing? Consumers will probably watch this little guy straight on—you won't be hosting Superbowl parties with this thing.
The H4000 doesn't get many high marks for its picture quality, but I need to reiterate that with HD cable, it looks very respectable. This isn't the centerpiece of your living room, and it's not trying to be.
The Experience
The definition of a sub-$300 menu interface
Year after year, we can always count on Samsung to ship its smart TVs with a robust and aesthetically pleasing menu interface. Sadly, the company's low-end "dumb" TVs don't benefit from the same design sense.
There's nothing inherently wrong with the interface on the H4000: It offers all of the basics, like picture adjustments, sound controls, and even a low-latency game mode. For most consumers, this is good enough. Television enthusiasts, though, will not find options like 10-point white balance, motion enhancement, or a sound equalizer.
Samsung also includes a menu for USB media files. The interface for this feature looks much better than the standard menu, but playing files is hit or miss. In my experience, the H4000 won't downscale an image. In other words, if you want to put a picture with a resolution larger than 720p on this Samsung, it won't work. Who actually uses their TVs as glorified picture frames, though?
I don't have many gripes with traversing Samsung's low-end menus aside from the interface's terrible looks. Maybe next year Samsung will put its full menu system on all of its TVs.
The Verdict
It's good to be the king.
When consumers hear the phrase "small TV," they probably think of a 32-inch model. Finding a smaller TV is pretty rare: Aside from Samsung, LG seems to be the only other major brand making sub-32-inch TVs. Panasonic doesn't, Sony doesn't, and Sharp would never. So where does this leave Samsung's UN28H4000?
At the top of the mini-TV mountain.
Judging the H4000 by its score alone, most consumers wouldn't look twice at it. That's a shame: Aside from its subpar contrast ratio, it doesn't look bad. When hooked up to a cable box, the H4000 produces a solid image, thanks to fairly accurate colors and good motion performance.
If you're part of the niche crowd that needs a TV around 28 inches (and you don't want to go retro), Samsung's newest low-end model is currently one to watch. While I would recommend last year's F4000 model over this one, the H4000 is nonetheless a worthy secondary television for any home.

As we know the problem with Resveratrol has been that it's poorly absorbed, has an extremely short half-life, is destroyed easily by light, and oxidizes quickly when exposed to air. For these reasons, extremely high dosages are needed and even then, they're fragility makes them a big gamble in the precise confines of pharmaceutical dosings.
I was wondering if, because resveratrol is lipid soluble much like pterostilbene, if mixing it with a lipid oil such as coconut derived MCT would enhance or protect it from the above issues.
Would anybody know?

Use the Conflict Management template to describe the procedures you use for managing conflicts in your organization or that you propose to institute for client in the context of this proposal. Conflict management procedures should take into account possible conflicts within an organization as well as all parties with which an organization could come into conflict. An internal conflict management plan should include established procedures for minimizing conflicts within an organization and for resolving conflicts that do occur. This starts with determining how decisions are made and communicated within the organization. Issues to consider are. Do all parties affected have input on the decision. If someone within the organization disagrees with decision does your organization have an established grievance or appeal procedure. If one internal party has complaint against another is there an established procedure for dealing with that issue. An external conflict management plan should include procedures for dealing with disgruntled customers or suppliers and depending on the nature of the organization possibly with authorities such as inspectors or code enforcement officers. Issues to consider are ones like these. Do you offer guarantee to customers and if so how does it work. Who deals with dissatisfied client or supplier and how. What is the procedure for dealing with the Labor and Industries official who says you need to improve your safety practices.

The quest for the historical Jesus has always been controversial because it turns out that Jesus has always been something of a problem for the churches. At first this might seem counter-intuitive. But just think about it. There are elements of Jesus' message that we all find difficult:
"You are missing one thing: make your move, sell whatever you have, and give <the money> to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And then come on, follow me!" . . . ."Children, how difficult it is to enter God's empire! 25It's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for the wealthy to get into God's empire!" (Mark 10:21, 25, translation from The Complete Gospels).
Even the most literalist and fundamentalist interpreter of the New Testament finds a way not to take these verses literally. And yet the sayings are there!
Just about the time the churches have it figured out, Jesus intrudes. A famous example is Francis of Assisi. In the high middle ages when the church in the West had everything under control, Francis started a major revolution that challenged the church's wealth and power by taking literally the teaching of Jesus about wealth and possessions. And Francis of Assisi is not unique in church history.
So Jesus has always been a problem.
On June 13 nineteen students showed up for class. The male female balance was about even, ages ranged from mid 20s to mid 60s. Most were MDiv students; some were enrolled in other degree programs at other schools; several were auditors; one was a regional minister on sabbatical. Theologically they ranged from liberal to conservative, with moderate surely in the majority.
This class on the historical Jesus was an intensive class, so instead of lasting a whole semester (13 weeks), the basic part of the course lasted a single week, from 8:30 to 4:15. Can you learn as much in a one week as in a 13 week semester? The answer is yes and even more if properly designed. An intensive course allows us to drill down on a topic, to stay with it.
I designed this course as a workshop. Instead of reading what many authors have to say about the historical Jesus, we actually did the work. What are the problems and how do you do it?
The chief problem is the very nature of the sources. All the gospels were written from the point of view of faith. Or to put another way, as the great New Testament scholar Norman put it, "So far as we can tell today, there is no single pericope [unit, selection] anywhere in the gospels, the present purpose of which is to preserve a historical reminiscence of Jesus" (Norman Perrin,. Rediscovering the Teaching of Jesus. New York: Harper & Row, 1967, p. 16).
A saying may contain a historical reminiscence, but its purpose was not history but faith. A subtle but critical distinction.
Therefore the burden of proof falls on the one who would claim that Jesus said or did something.
For someone use to reading the gospels naively, this appears to be not taking the gospels at face value. But actually, it is taking the gospels seriously, at face value, namely as statements of faith, not history.
Faith and history ask different questions.
A student has to learn how to make an argument that something comes from Jesus. And so we set about creating a database of the sayings of Jesus. In groups and as a group we worked through the sayings of Jesus, identifying the sources, and then evaluating those sources as to their historical probability. Piece by piece, saying by saying, deed by deed, the students worked through the material and learned how to make a case. This was hands on learning.
Slowing but surely, the class began to build up a picture of who Jesus was and what he was about.
As the students began to read what other scholars had written about the historical Jesus, they had their own questions and their own view of the evidence. So they could interrogate the views of other scholars with a good grasp of the evidence and the methodology.
The question that haunted our week of study was on the surface a practical question. How do I use what I am learning in my preaching? In my church? How will my people respond to this?
This practical question raises deep theological and controversial issues. What is the place of the historical Jesus for faith?
Some argue that the historical Jesus is irrelevant to faith. Luke Timothy Johnson is probably the most well known proponent of this position in recent years, but he stands in a distinguished tradition. Rudolf Bultmann, undoubtedly the greatest New Testament scholar of the 20th century held the same position.
The Jesus in whom we have faith is the Jesus we encounter in our faith communities. It is there that we perceive him as alive and enlivening.
This is surely correct.
But this is a tricky situation. If we cannot equate the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith, what is their relationship? How do we know that the Christ of faith is not simply a projection, what we want Jesus to be?
For me, the historical Jesus is a discipline that keeps our faith honest.
To help the students with these questions, on the last day of the class I invited Sarah Morice Brubaker who teaches theology and Gary Peluso-Verdend who teaches pastoral theology and is president of PTS to talk with the class. They helped the students see how different folks from different points of view work out these issues. A lively conversation ensued.
The course did not arrive at a definitive resolution. There is no definitive resolution. Searching for the historical Jesus is an ongoing task. Asking what to make of the historical Jesus is a continuing challenge. But these students are equipped with the tools to carry out that task.

Re-Purposing Liquor Bottles
Specifically, I refilled the Single Barrel bottle with green mouthwash.
While I brought this bottle upstairs because it's pretty, he just loves the fact that every morning he's taking a swig from a Single Barrel bottle. Can't get more manly than that.
Another, less manly option: Bubble bath. It's probably the only safe way to use these bottles in the actual tub as BB is typically applied before you get in when your hands are still dry.
Just don't get them mixed up!
Of course, this may not be a great idea if you share the bathroom with little ones. Both for breakage and responsibility purposes.

What a cool idea to recycle liquor bottles! I'm sure my Orange County dentist would be okay with this especially if I had thoroughly disinfected the bottle. Thanks for the idea.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're certainly right Jen. Most dentists would approve. Who knew you could bring crafting ideas into pretty much any profession? Glad you like the idea!Delete

EPL: Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink confirms quitting the club at end of season
Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has announced that he will retire from coaching at the end of the season despite admitting he is relishing his role at the English football club.
The 69-year-old took charge at Stamford Bridge for the second time in his career in December after Portugal's Jose Mourinho was sacked following a turbulent start to the campaign.
Hiddink has helped the reigning Premier League champions regain some solidity and only suffered his first defeat this season when his side were beaten 1-2 by Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League last 16.
"I feel fit, I feel fresh and, every morning, I go with a smile. Although we have a difficult time when there's a loss, I love to go to Cobham, to the training field, so I feel fresh," Hiddink was quoted as saying by The Sunday Times on Saturday.
"On the other hand, young people must take over and I must retreat a bit. I will visit Chelsea often next season but I'm not thinking of working elsewhere."
Despite his comments, Chelsea midfielder Oscar is quietly optimistic Hiddink may yet decide to stay on at the club next season if offered the chance, admitting he has had a "positive influence" since joining.
"Based on how well Guus has been doing so far, he could very well stay. He's a very nice guy. Very smiley. He always looks to create a happy, positive environment," Oscar said.
"He has a very positive influence here and we've been playing well. We've had a lot of draws in that time but overall, in the Premier League, things have been going a lot better and it has given a huge boost of confidence to all the players."

How It Works: Christmas Spectacular's 'Santa's Workshop'
Get ready to travel all the way to the North Pole as the magic of Radio City Music Hall wraps the audience in Santa's colorful magic toy factory. One of the most intricate numbers in the Christmas Spectacular, "Santa's Workshop" comes to life as the cast and crew work together to coordinate several onstage props including scenery changes and pyrotechnics.
"Santa's workshop is one of the most exciting sequences we have in the show," says Stage Manager Hilary A. "There are scenic pieces, there are prop pieces, the train starts coming on … it's a very exciting sequence and very complicated! It takes a long time to get through the technical rehearsal to make sure it all happens safely."
But one of the more tricky moments in this number is when an ensemble member drives a "train" around the stage carrying other cast members. "The trickiest moment is when he has to stop the train precisely on stage so that everyone can continue their choreography," says Austin. "At the end of the number, he has to drive the train off stage. That's really tricky because our backstage is not very big."
During the number, moving scenery and props, smartly timed video effects and ensemble dancers weave on and off stage strategically to bring Santa's Workshop to life. "It's really a magical moment and a lot of fun!"

Hilarie Burton & Jeffrey Dean Morgan Make Rare Appearance With Their Son Augustus!
How cute is Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's son Augustus?!
This is the first time we've really seen the seven-year-old at a public event as little Gus attended the Indy 500 with his parents on Sunday (May 28) in Speedway, Indiana.
Hilarie and Jeffrey are known to be very private about their personal life, so it's extra cute to see the family all smiles at an event together!
Also in attendance that day were Jake Gyllenhaal, Zedd, Nathan Kress, Pierson Fode, and Sharna Burgess.

The Inglewood High School girls basketball team, which believed it had raised about $5,000 for a traditional end-of-year banquet, but instead found its money gone, will get to hold the event after all.
The school district belatedly announced Tuesday it would pay about $1,100 out of its general fund for the banquet for about 45 players and family members. The banquet is scheduled Wednesday evening at Dave and Buster's in Westchester.
"That's fine and good, but I still want to know what happened — return the money," said coach Tony Scott, who has led the program for the past decade and said parents are "lukewarm" over the resolution.
"They are like, 'It's about time,' " Scott added. "Parents are still upset. Some parents have already checked their kids out and gone to other schools."
Scott said he has already lost two star players who were among his leading scorers last year and remains unsure whether he, too, will return.
The problem started in April when Scott went to administrators to get the money for its annual banquet and was told the team actually had a negative balance of $8,000.
Scott believed someone in the debt-ridden district had misappropriated the money. Inglewood was taken over by the state two years ago because it was $16 million in debt, although that's gradually being whittled away, spokeswoman Kristin Agostoni said.
She said the district wants to get to the bottom of what occurred as much as Scott does.
"They're still trying to determine what the balance is, how much money is in the account," Agostoni said. "They still haven't settled the accounting issues that are under investigation."
In a news release, the district said it "regrets that this issue has caused a distraction of providing the best education and extracurricular programs possible for Inglewood students."
Scott said parents believe that's a travesty given how much time has passed.
Meanwhile, he's trying to contact team members and their families so they can attend the banquet, which could also be Scott's swan song with the program.
"I'm not going to start a season in the red," he said. "I'm not going to coach a team and we're already starting behind the (financial) eight-ball."

Chester, Pa. (September 4, 2010) – A tremendous performance from Kansas City Wizards goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen prevented Philadelphia Union from taking three points on Saturday, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw at PPL Park. Sebastien Le Toux put the Union up 1-0 in the first half when he became the first player in MLS this season with double-digit goals and assists, but a well-taken second half free kick from Davy Arnaud leveled the match at one goal apiece.
Kansas City came out controlling possession in the first 10 minutes, but only registered one harmless strike from distance by Arnaud to show for it. The first near goal came from Philadelphia, however, when Amobi Okugo intercepted a pass in the midfield and worked a give-and-go with Harvey to receive the ball down the left flank. The 19-year-old rookie sent a dangerous, bending cross into the area for Le Toux, but it was just out of reach for the Union's leading scorer.
The Union would continue to press in the middle portion of the first half, nearly converting twice. In the 26th minute, Stefani Miglioranzi rifled a shot from 25 yards out that deflected off a defender into the post, and two minutes later Le Toux turned and unleashed a shot from just past the edge of the area, but Nielsen dove to his right to deflect it over the endline.
Philadelphia's pressure would be rewarded in the 33rd minute. After a loose ball came to Justin Mapp, the midfielder slid a weighted through ball to Danny Mwanga, who was streaking down the left flank. Mwanga ran onto it just outside the area, taking two touches before finding an onrushing Le Toux in front of the goal. The Frenchman made no mistake, one-timing the ball past a lunging Nielsen to put the Union up 1-0.
Kansas City nearly equalized in the opening moments of the second half, but Michael Orozco Fiscal made a last-second, goal-saving tackle to knock the ball away from Ryan Smith just as the Arsenal academy product was about to shoot into a wide-open net.
Philadelphia had multiple chances to take a two-goal advantage, but Nielsen repeatedly came with acrobatic saves to stifle promising scoring opportunities.
In the 53rd minute, Mapp took a pass from Mwanga 10 yards from goal to the left of the net, but Nielsen got his foot to the low strike to knock it away. In the 54th, Nielsen made another terrific save to stop a shot from a similar spot after Mwanga broke free for a breakaway. With former Union defender Shavar Thomas on his back, Mwanga attempted to beat the KC 'keeper near post, but Nielsen was up to the task again. In the 66th minute, after a yellow card, Mapp sent a dangerous free kick into the area that found Le Toux, but his header that seemed destined for the near post was sent away at the last moment by yet another sprawling save.
Kansas City would level the match in the 71st minute with a pristinely-taken free kick from 30 yards out. Arnaud sent a perfectly placed ball from the left touchline to the far post, and a leaping Chris Seitz was unable to change its trajectory.
The equalizer would stand, with neither side able to find a late game-winner. Philadelphia still haven't recorded a shutout in league play this season, despite allowing only six goals in their last six matches in all competitions, 19 goals in their last 17 matches in all competitions, and just a single goal in eight of their last 12 league matches. Philadelphia will return to action next Saturday at PPL Park, where they'll take on the Chicago Fire at 6:00pm ET.

Mar 10, 2009: Scootin'
Somehow I can't see me using this, but I guess some people would if they weren't encumbered with children, packages, or in a bigger group than were scooters available for rent.
On a date for dinner... "Well there's only one left, Honey, I'll order drinks for us while I wait for you to catch up".
SPUCK Tuesday Mar 10 05:44 AM
I can see scumbag verminous lawyers using it to great advantage.
stevecrm Tuesday Mar 10 06:12 AM
I wonder what the weight limit is for the scooters?
Sundae Tuesday Mar 10 07:13 AM
We had a couple three scooters at work, which people would borrow to go up to the local shops. It halved the journey time - useful if you had a lot on and only wanted a sandwich - of course the alternative was to wait for me to go, and then make outrageous requests which took up most of my lunch break!
glatt Tuesday Mar 10 08:55 AM
It's an interesting concept. I wonder if they have multiple poles around town, if you can return the scooter to another pole with an available slot. And if you are able to do that, does that mean you might rent a scooter from one pole and then go to return it to that pole, but not be able to, because someone took the empty slot you created.
Trilby Tuesday Mar 10 09:19 AM
scooters are White and Nerdy.
Sundae Tuesday Mar 10 09:24 AM
I am White and Nerdy.
Trilby Tuesday Mar 10 09:28 AM
absolutely and without reserve, you White and Nerdy thing, you.

Juniper Tuesday Mar 10 10:44 AM
CUTE! I love scooters. I want a segway so bad!
sweetwater Tuesday Mar 10 11:37 AM
Do scooters come in trike form for the balance-impaired? No wait - Big Wheels! I'd rent a Big Wheel! Rental scooters would not work on frequently cracked, uneven, and missing sidewalk areas, but I like the idea. Juniper, I was just in San Antonio, TX, and there is a walking tour that doesn't walk. They use Segways.
Sundae Tuesday Mar 10 11:42 AM
What's a Segway?
Leokins Tuesday Mar 10 11:45 AM
A segway:
Sundae Tuesday Mar 10 11:53 AM
Oh! I see and I like!
stevecrm Thursday Mar 12 12:26 PM
The idea of riding to your destination is good but if everyone else gets there before you all the spaces on the smart pole would be full. knowing my luck I would end up 5 miles away trying to find a spot.

Fulham v Chelsea
Craven Cottage
Kick-off: 20.00 BST.
TV: Live Sky Sports 1, Highlights BBC ONE Match of the Day.
Referee: Mark Clattenburg.
Match Notes
Fulham's record against near neighbours Chelsea is poor.
In 12 games, home and away in all competitions, they have failed to win in 12 games.
And, in the Premier League at Craven Cottage, Fulham have won just once in 10 attempts, with Chelsea winning fivem drawing four and scoring 14 goals to Fulham's six.
The teams have met twice this season, in the league and Carling Cup.
In September, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea had Alex sent off in the third round tie before holding out for a goalless draw after extra time. They won 4-3 in the penalty shoot-out.
They met again, in the league, at Stamford Bridge in December and after Juan Mata had given Chelsea the lead, Clint Dempsey claimed an equaliser for the visitors.
Chelsea's away record overall this season is not that impressive, with just six wins from 15 games on the road.
Stat of the game: Fulham have won a majority of their points at Craven Cottage, where 54 goals have been scored.
John Ley's prediction: Fulham 0 Chelsea 2.

Significance of the title: no definite article emphasises the universal nature of the experience
Degradation of the old woman as this suggests she needs help. Simply eating to stay alive.
Animal connotations.
Simile – like an old horse. Useless, fit only to be put down. Implicit introduction to the idea of euthanasia.
Hypallage/Transferred epithet.
Food mashed not plate – like animal feed?
Concision of statement suggests lack of interest in food.
Old Woman
Negative word. Grey/depressing/dark world – no part of this life of any interest to her.
'Its' not her – dehumanises her
For her death
And she, being old, fed from a mashed plate
as an old mare might droop across a fence
Tone: ironic/critical of Calvinist faith.
Poet questions what the woman could possibly have done to deserve such suffering. to the dull pastures of its ignorance.
Enjambment suggests prayers are repeated yet they go unanswered – uncaring god. Her husband held her upright while he prayed
to God who is all-forgiving to send down
'Foreign' – angel of mercy an alien concept to Calvinists who believe people are born to suffer. some angel somewhere who might land perhaps
Underlined are unspecific to suggest scepticism on poet's part Underlines the old man's respect for god – he doesn't make demands of him. in his foreign wings among the gradual crops.
Noisily/animal like
She munched, half dead, blindly searching the spoon.
Life takes its time
Outside, the grass was raging. There I sat
imprisoned in my pity and my shame
Incapable like baby being fed
that men and women having suffered time
Trapped – like island life. Shame that he was once part of this culture. Contrasts with the lifelessness inside.

Merry Christmas Everyone! I took a few weeks off to focus on my church's Christmas production, but I'm back now and better than ever. Christmas is tomorrow and I am so excited! I'm sure you are too. Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year and I love getting to study Jesus' birth every year.
When I was trying to think of what I wanted to write about this Christmas I kept getting drawn back to Zechariah and Elizabeth. They're not the most prominent people involved in the Christmas story, but their story is still extremely important and there are tons of lessons to be gleaned from it. So, I think this year I'm going to take a nontraditional route and talk about them.
Let's talk about Zechariah first. He's not the first person I think about when I think of the Christmas story, but as I was studying this past week, I thought it was really cool reading about how God worked in his life. Zechariah was a priest and if you asked anyone I'm sure they would have told you he was close with God. I mean, when God spoke to him he was performing a sacred ritual in the temple. That's pretty close. However, what we discover quickly is that he and God may have had a great relationship, but there was still a part of him that was very human and closed off to God. He and Elizabeth had prayed for a baby for years and years, and at this time of this story they were old and had given up hope. At some point, they stopped believing that God could or would give them a baby. When, an angel came to Zechariah and told him they were going to have a child, and that he would be a prophet that went before God's son, Zechariah was absolutely shocked. Just like anyone else, even though he walked with God and trusted him with his life, he doubted that this could really make the impossible happen.I thought this was a pretty normal reaction, but I think I forgot that God can do anything, just like Zechariah.
God's response to his doubt was to make him mute until his son, John, was born. I was completely and utterly confused about God's reason for this until I was doing the She Reads Truth study, and one of the authors explained the reason. He cared about Zechariah so much that he made him mute so that he could work on encouraging him to release that last little bit of his heart to him. I've noticed God do this with me before, as well. He's never made me mute, but he has allowed me to get sick or injured, so I would have to stay home and have the time to make my relationship right with him. God doesn't want us to suffer, but sometimes it's necessary to help us pull our focus. It's okay to doubt, worry, and question, but what's important is that we come back to God. When we do come back we should have a similar reaction to Zechariah. When John was born and his voice returned to him, his first reaction was to praise God and tell everyone about what God had done for him and his family. That should be our reaction after every encounter we have with God. Essentially that's all the time, because everything around us is something God created and has blessed us with.
I also love Elizabeth, his wife. She was one of Mary's relatives and her faith was as strong as her husband's. Elizabeth is a great example of how we should act in the presence of God, and how we should stand up for our faith. Mary came to visit her after she became pregnant with Jesus and the entire encounter was incredible. Elizabeth recognized the presence of Jesus immediately, even her baby jumped in her womb. Elizabeth was awed that she got the honor to be in the presence of Jesus, even when he was still in the womb. She felt unworthy and excited. Elizabeth is a great example of how we should react anytime we get to spend time in the presence of God. We should come with reverence, awe, and excitement.
Elizabeth also stood up for what God told her to do even when her friends and neighbors thought she was crazy. Everyone thought she should name her son after her husband, since it was the tradition at the time. However, Elizabeth knew that she should do what God commanded, and she named her baby John. We should always be like Elizabeth. The world will think we are insane for some of our actions, but none of that matters if what we are doing is God's will.
I believe their story greatly impacted Mary. The angel told Mary about Elizabeth when she questioned how she would get pregnant and assured her that nothing is impossible with God. I'm also going to go out on a limb and assume that Mary's visit with Elizabeth helped calm any of her fears. Without Zechariah and Elizabeth I believe that Mary would have never have been as at peace as she was throughout her pregnancy.
Because of their faith, Zechariah and Elizabeth were blessed beyond measure. They both got to meet Jesus, in the flesh. Even in their old age, God blessed them with a son. Not only that, their son became one of the greatest prophets of the New Testament, best known as John the Baptist. We all have a lot to learn from their story, not just that we should remain faithful through any trials like they did when they were praying for a baby. We can learn from Zechariah's story that we should always be strengthening our relationship with God, even when we are walking close because we can always get closer. He also shows us how we should react when God blesses us. We can learn how we should approach God with reverence and awe from Elizabeth. We can also follow her lead and stand up for our faith just like she did.
I hope during this last week of the holiday season and beyond we can all keep these lessons in mind. I'm praying for you all and, as always, I ask that you pray the same for me.
Merry Christmas

The players of Nerd Table never held court as quarterbacks or prom kings. "We weren't cool at all," recalled West Side resident Adam Casto, who met his future band mates two decades ago in the geeky section of the Pleasant View Middle School cafeteria.
MEMBERS �Adam Casto (vocals), Nick Nighbert (guitar), Mike Flowers (drums)
and Tom Barrett (bass)
STYLE � �a mixture of punk, grunge and rock � it�s hard to pinpoint�
WEBSITE � nerdtableonline.com
CONCERT �10 p.m. Saturday at the Tree Bar, 887 Chambers Rd.
The players of Nerd Table never held court as quarterbacks or prom kings.
�We weren�t cool at all,� recalled West Side resident Adam Casto, who met his future band mates two decades ago in the geeky section of the Pleasant View Middle School cafeteria.
�We did our best to just get through.�
Channeling their subpar social status into music since 1998, the guys �took a name that others gave us and embraced it.�
Their second album, to be released on Saturday, is said to feature guest spots from early members of the iconic band Nirvana: Dale Crover, who briefly played drums, and original drummer Aaron Burckhard.
Both, Casto said, were paid for their contributions and recorded remotely.
�I definitely put my neck out a lot,� the 32-year-old said. �For me, it�s a dream come true."
Not bad for a bunch of nerds.
Q How would you describe your music?
A Fast-paced and often offensive. I think I have a unique voice in the vein of Jello Biafra or Joey Ramone. I feel we are a very original band.
You either like it or you don�t.
Q What topics do you address in your lyrics?

The Miracle Healer ® firstname.lastname@example.com 267.392.9254
There are only two things…Love and Fear…when you replace Fear with Unconditional Love…
in the Eternal Moment of NOW…that is the Moment in which Miracles are Manifested.
~Donna McGrath
Donna McGrath, former NIH Molecular Biologist, was invited to The White House under Ronald Reagan for her ground-breaking work with sickle-cell anemia, which was noted in TIME, Newsweek, API, UPI, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and The New England Journal of Medicine. During her life-altering 1994 Journey to Enlightenment experience, which occurred while reading The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield and is documented in her upcoming biography "From Corporate Mentality to Spiritual Reality", A True Out-of-Body Journey to Enlightenment, she traveled to The Light of God where the history of the planet was revealed to her and the "cure for all dis-eases" was gifted… allowing her to facilitate over 45,00 Miracle Healings throughout the world. Soul record clearing (Akashic Record Clearing),Psychic Mediumship Readings, Clearing AbundanceBlocks and, Relationship History Clearings as well as Customized Business and Career Manifestions make her the most sought- after andand versatile healer and speaker ever!
Through her work as a Divine Instrument of the Light, utilizing Christ Consciousness Energy, Donna has facilitated healing in cases of dermatomyocytis, autoimmune dis-eases, gastric ulcers, asthma, grief, dysfunctional relationships, addictions, obviated the need for liver and lung transplants, obviated the need for heart surgery and has facilitated healing in cases of migraine headaches, breast cancer, colon cancer, gluten intolerance, allergies, fibromyalgia, broken bones, psoriasis, eczema, Herpes, HIV and more… these and more cases will be documented in her book, Miracles of Total Body Healing, True Cases of Miracle Healings from the Files of a Master Energy Healer.
Donna McGrath has traveled with The Whole Life Expos, New Life Expos, Mind, Body, Spirit Expos nationally as well as internationally. As her work developed, she later performed thousands of additional long-distance Miracles in her sessions around the world using what she terms energy work, coupled with "Psychic Psychology", as well as transmitting quantum flower essence energies. She is one of the Top 3 healers in the world and one of world's best kept secrets.
The above healing miracles were accomplished by replacing fear patterns with Unconditional Love and by energetically identifying and erasing emotional and mental traumas from clients' akashic soul records throughout all dimensions, time and space.
Donna has worked with over 45,000 clients in her workshops, radio shows, seminars and private sessions since 1994. Healings have included inflating a Project Runway Model's collapsed lung over the phone energetically, dissolving grapefruit sized ovarian tumor in 5 mins., healing a man of prostate cancer, memory issues in 20 mins., and healing a 5 year-old girl of deadly dermatomyocytis in two sessions allowing her to visit Disney totally healed with The Make-A- Wish Foundation.
Miracles of Total Body Healing MP3
This fantastic MP3 recording/meditation was designed for the listener to heal,cleanse, balance and detoxify any condition the listener sets the intention to be. It can be listened to over and over again to achieve deeper and deeper levels of healing.
Donna will soon be releasing her Miracles of Total Body Healing 6 CD Miracle Healing Set which will target specific dis-ease states such as Addictions, Cancer, Anxiety and Depression, Asthma, Pain Relief, and Overcoming Grief.
Donna"s prophetic visions have since all come true including…The Blizzard of 1996, Hurricane Floyd, 9/11, Falling of the Stock Market, The Indonesian Tidal Wave, rising oil prices, the China Earthquake, the current American Economic Depression. These and other future prophecies will described be in her upcoming book, Prophecies from The Light 2016 and Beyond. Following her experience, Donna was gifted with clairvoyance, clairsentience, and the ability to perform Intuitive Mediumship readings regarding Contact with the Deceased and performed 12,000 individual/family sessions.
Donna McGrath's film credits which can be seen on IMDB include acting in and advising on the set of The Mandala Maker, an indie film in which a young woman heals herself of a severe emotional trauma by painting healing mandalas, which qualified for an Oscar in 2009 and has won many film awards. She starred in Snake Hill, a documentary film in which Donna, blindfolded, psychically analyzed and provided details regarding the largest disinterment/re-interment in US history at New Jersey's infamous Snake Hill burial grounds.
Donna's work has now moved to larger audiences where she speaks, teaches healing workshops and custom channels audience healings. Her Miracles of Total Body Healing Meditation MP3 is available now and can be used to heal personal conditions by simply listening. To purchase click the add to cart button above.

The say the path to recovery starts with admitting you have a problem.
I wish our problem was code-rot, or a simple case of a good design gone horribly wrong through bodged maintenance and hacks. (If only we'd managed to achieve such lofty goals to start with.)
Let's just rephrase: the path to recovery starts with acceptance.
Think of this as an acceptance speech, or a first-time introduction at Incontinence Anonymous. "Hi. My name is Ash, and I've made a mess."
I'm admitting to a problem (in public) because I want to move on. I want to get the feeling of acceptance, figure out the six-step plan to recovery, and start climbing out of this pile of manure one shitty handful at a time.
This is going to be public and painful, but I've checked with my partner and extracted a grumbling murmur to go ahead.
What are we talking about here?
We'll be talking about our price comparison site: ewelike.com. That's the beast waiting for a handy dollop of TLC, or a lethal injection (I leave it to you to make your own call on that.)
The code-base is a nightmare. From tier-to-tier, front-to-back; a full blown living nightmare. Every day I sit down to code I debate whether to poke it a little more, or pronounce the code dead and rewrite the whole thing from scratch.
Not good.
More haste, less speed
For a two-man team, we managed to rack-up an impressive tally of mistakes very early on, starting with how we chose a language:
I was a Java aficionado, and my partner came from a Microsoft background. Neither of us wanted to cross-train – not out of loyalty or hate, but because neither platform seemed like the best way to get stuff out the door quickly.
Without ruminating obsessively, we decided scripting was the path to follow and quickly short-listed the three P's (perl, python and PHP), ruby and lua. Python and Perl were quickly ruled out for the most immature reasons (the partner hates perl's stereotypical punctuation-heavy style – and I hate python's space-sensitivity.) A brief foray into installing Lua on OS X convinced me it was too unpopular and risky to use. With high hopes for Ruby (and Rails) that option quickly hit a wall too due to immense confusion and a complete absence of "mod_ruby" (I know, things have moved on.)
So we ended up with PHP. I think its important (to me) to realize we ended up with PHP by default, not on its merits. PHP, of all things. PHP with it's "magic" methods. PHP with its retarded unicode support. PHP with its piss-poor objects.
In case you missed the subtle undertone there: I don't like PHP. But at the time, we'd ruled out all other options and talked ourselves into PHP with the convincer "Facebook runs it… it's gotta scale!"
Design? What design?
A two-man team: both degree educated, both experienced with languages from Ada to Eiffel and Lisp to Miranda. Both with industry experience working on small, medium and large teams. Both smart enough to know better.
Of course, it's different when you're your own boss. When there's no client. No timescale. No requirements.
We got sucked into the 'agile' cult, taking on all their bad practices, and failing to follow any of the good. Very soon we were banging out code with gay abandon. We never planned a proper object model, and felt more productive banging out procedural code instead of implementing class hierarchies – this has lead directly to inefficient, inelegant code with a more than a touch of the cut'n'pastes.
To his credit, my partner introduced unit-testing with SimpleTest quite early-on. To our detriment, we never grouped tests into test-suites, only ever running tests in isolation. With human-error at play we'd regularly introduce code that broke a test, and not notice till weeks later. It wasn't long before we were so used to having broken tests around that on we'd actual revel in the rare occasion when a test went green again.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid…
The way forward…?
Though I'm sorely tempted to throw our code out the window together with PHP, I'm driven by the hope step-by-step refactoring can lead us to safety, breathing new life into the code, and new momentum into the site – without the unavoidable stagnation a total rewrite-from-scratch would entail.
We have a ton of work ahead of us, and its hard deciding what to focus on first:
- Unit Tests
- remove/update outdated tests
- fix failing tests
- organize into suites and then into a one-click "run all tests"
- integrate "run all tests" into the build process: no pass, no deploy
- Database
- general tuning (setting caching and buffer sizes)
- query optimizations (using High Performance MySQL [ewelike.com])
- finish class design using ActiveRecord / ActiveObject
- solve bottlenecks with caching (where possible)
- simplify/rewrite semantic HTML
- break-up & organize CSS
That's simply a list of things to refactor and fix, excluding all the new things we want to do (total front-end redesign, better ajax, more features…)
I've no doubt this is going to be a slow and painful process, but I'm hopeful the end results will be worth it. It's been said that the only way to understand something is to try and explain it (hence this waffling preamble) – I'm planning to write follow-up articles as we go along, sharing the best-practices we discover, as well as pitfalls to avoid.
Please excuse me, I have some work to do.

Our aim is to lift as many restrictions as possible and offer you barrier-free travel on our services. We try to find solutions at those points where you may encounter difficulties.
Ever since the late 1980s our HVV service area has seen the implementation of numerous measures designed to facilitate travel on bus and rail services by mobility-impaired passengers.
In the following sections we have compiled important information for you on barrier-free transport in the HVV network. These details will help you to reach your destination safely and without difficulty on our services.
Low-floor buses
All bus services in Central Hamburg (Hamburg AB) are provided by low-floor vehicles. To ease boarding and exiting by mobility-impaired passengers such buses can be lowered and tilted on one side towards the kerb.
Low-floor vehicles with ramps also operate on almost all bus services in the region bordering Central Hamburg (Hamburg AB). Each of these buses has storage space for prams and wheelchairs.
Boarding and exiting via the ramp
The best place to wait for your bus is close to the bus-stop signpost. When wishing to board please alert the driver by hand signal or by pressing the designated button. You will find this button on the right side of the central doorway; inside the bus it is located in the back wall-panel of the storage space for prams and wheelchairs. Your driver will ensure that you board or leave the bus safely via the ramp as soon as all other passengers have done so. The fold-out ramps have a maximum design load capacity of 350 kg.
The right position on board the bus
As a rule the special storage space is located directly in front of you when you board via the central doorway. Here you will find a padded backrest against which you can back up your wheelchair against the direction of travel. Always ensure that your wheelchair is positioned safely so as to prevent risk to yourself or other passengers.
As many wheelchairs or prams as possible may be transported on board our bus services. This depends on the space available in each case; your driver has the final say and will instruct you accordingly.
In the region around Central Hamburg
The following PDF contains a chart with details on low-floor bus operations in northern Lower Saxony and southern Schleswig-Holstein. Here you will also find the name of the operator to contact when checking if low-floor buses serve the route you have selected.
This section provides general information on barrier-free travel around the regional- and rapid-transit rail network.
In addition, our German-language web pages contain more specific details on conditions at the various regional- or rapid-transit rail stations and at selected points of interest. You will also find schematic diagrams, plans, maps and photos in these pages; they will help you to locate station entrances or exits, toilet facilities, stairways, escalators and lifts. You will also obtain an overview of platform conditions when boarding a train. Stations at which you can interchange between rail and bus services are described in detail, as are barrier-free facilities and contact points at selected points of interest. To find out more simply click the following German-language link Haltestellen und besondere Orte and select the station or point of interest for which you require information.
Stairway-free access to the platform
All barrier-free stations are equipped with ramps or lifts. Our German-language plan Einstiegshilfen provides an overview of barrier-free access at stations and stops in the HVV network.
Lift layout
Operating status of the lifts
You can find out whether the lifts are currently working via our live info here. If you cannot find the information you are looking for here, please phone the HVV-Infoline under 040/19 449 an. Our staff will be pleased to help you.
Barrier-free boarding
Various measures have been implemented for the safety and convenience of wheelchair users when boarding rapid-transit- or regional rail services. You can find details in the following sections. Due to factors such as wheel- or track abrasion and suspension fluctuation the vertical step between platform and railcar doorway may be approximately 23 cm lower than the maximum value indicated in the text.
U-Bahn (Metro/Underground Rail)
Platforms at barrier-free U-Bahn stations have either been completely raised or partly raised with humps to help you to board more easily. In the case of older rolling stock, the boarding height between platform and doors is maximum 8 cm; in more recent models 5 cm or less. The gap between the platform and the train may vary depending on the structural design of the station and the type and condition of the carriage. It is generally approximately 10-14 cm with older models and 711 cm with newer ones. Boarding areas are clearly indicated by colour coding as well as by wheelchair and pram pictograms.
In all cases please board within the designated area to ensure that you will also exit onto a raised platform section at your destination!
When you board more-recently commissioned S-Bahn railcars the vertical step between platform and doorway amounts to a maximum height of 6 cm; in the case of older vehicles this rises to a maximum 16 cm. The only exceptions are on Line S3 at stations between Fischbek and Agathenburg where you will face a vertical step of up to 26 cm. Platforms on this line section cannot be raised as freight trains with protruding loads pass through the stations in question.
All S-Bahn railcars have large, multi-purpose compartments. Wheelchair users can board or leave the train via ramps. Please note that the use of ramps is only permitted at the first doorway behind the front driver`s cockpit. We regret that barrier-free access onto or from trains on Line S3 is not possible at the stations Neukloster, Dollern and Agathenburg.
Please alert the driver by hand signal when the train is approaching. He will then put out the ramp for you directly behind his cockpit. In a straight line roll your wheelchair into the railcar. At this point please tell the driver at which station you intend to leave the train.
Orientation aids for blind or visually-impaired passengers
Guidance systems for the visually impaired have been installed at certain stations; tactile paving-strips with brightly-coloured bordering alert visually-impaired passengers and enable them to proceed in the correct direction with the aid of their white stick. Tactile paving is fitted into platform surfaces and in some station concourses.
Detailed text information on such stations is provided in our German-language web page Haltestellen und besondere Orte; please click the link Skizzenbeschreibungen.
Most platform edges at U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations are marked with a wide warning strip. Platforms at many regional rail stations display a white safety strip which clearly indicates the danger zone.
Both these markings are for your safety; do not cross beyond them unless your train is already standing at the platform.
Acoustic signals also help you to find your way around; instantly-recognizable tones to alert you that train doors are about to close, for example, and announcements by station staff or on board the train, the latter informing you of the next station at which it will halt. On S-Bahn and regional R-Bahn rail services the side of the train from which to exit is also announced.
Doorways on U-Bahn or S-Bahn rail services are easy to find; the high-contrast design, brightly-coloured direction arrows and clearly-distinguishable rubber-lip edging all help you to locate the doorway.
Orientation aids for passengers with impaired hearing
When on the platform please observe all text instructions presented on the overhead destination display. More recent electronic display units also provide information on actual departure times, timetable changes and service disruption. On-board Infoscreen television is installed in U-Bahn railcars; please check the screen for details on any timetable changes or service disruption and the next station at which the train will halt. Electronic display in all more-recent S-Bahn railcars inform you in advance of each station at which the train will halt.
Personal safety and security
Ferry services operate around the Port of Hamburg and along the River Elbe. Only modern Type 2000 ships will run on the regular services 64 and 72 at weekends. These ships have a disabled-accessible WC. Almost all services on Line 62 (between St. Pauli Landungsbrücken and Finkenwerder) are provided by modern, barrier-free vessels. We regret that it is not possible to transport wheelchairs on the service between Cranz and Blankenese as the piers at Cranz and Neuenfelde can only be accessed via stairs.
Information on barrier-free HADAG ferry services:
HADAG Seetouristik und Fährdienst AG
Telephone 040/31 17 07-0
Please personally ensure that your wheelchair is safely positioned on board the ferry!
Ferries halt at floating pontoon-piers which are connected to the riverbank by bridge. The inclination of such bridges depends on tidal water levels and varies accordingly.
You pass over the gap and vertical step between pontoon-pier and ferry via a ramp (120 or 180 cm in width). When wishing to exit please press the stop button located next to the inside doorway or use the intercom.
If so many passengers wish to board that this leads to a crush (especially at weekends in summer), boarding will be regulated by safety personnel. In such a case please speak directly to the personnel on the pontoon bridges for boarding.

Selecting the proper snow shovel depends on the needs of the buyer. When purchasing a shovel, it is best to wear winter gloves and try it by pretending to shovel.
The SnoBoss can be used for scooping or pushing and is more comfortable than a traditional shovel shaft. The ManPlow is a pusher and comes in 22- or 30-inch models. In general, a lighter shovel is easier to lift, and a rigid shovel is best. Metal is heavier than plastic but more rigid. Steel on the edge may scratch a deck but extends the shovel's life. More than one shovel should be considered for different jobs; for example, one to deal with built-up ice and another to deal with regular snow. Scooped sides on a shovel keep the snow from falling out.

Smoky mozzarella, crisp fresh asparagus, and the rich saltiness of the prosciutto make this super simple weeknight pasta a real winner. By the time the pot of water is boiling, you're already halfway to mealtime.
Ziti with Asparagus, Smoked Mozzarella, and Prosciutto
Credit: Everyday Italian by Giada De Laurentiis
8 ounces dried ziti
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, diced (about 1/2 cup)
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut crosswise into strips
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
~Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ziti and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the asparagus and cook until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, and the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain the pasta and asparagus, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
~In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over a medium flame. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the pasta, asparagus, 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and the 1 cup of reserved cooking liquid, and toss to coat. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the mozzarella, prosciutto, and basil and toss to combine. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the pasta to shallow bowls and serve.
