New Biomass Plant Nearly Ready for Operation
Submitted: 04/07/2013
- A $250 million biomass plant in central Wisconsin will begin generating power late this year. Construction of Domtar's Rothschild plant began in August of 2011. When the plant is up and running, about 60 percent of the steam generated by wood waste will create electricity for We Energies. The remaining steam will be used at Domtar's local mill. The wood debris will come from forests within a 75 mile radius of the plant.

Friendly Photo Zone
We're a friendly online community for photographers of all skill levels, providing services that help photographers improve their skills and gain a new appreciation for photography. We offer our members an online gallery, a forum to communicate with each other, a critique section to get honest and constructive feedback on posted images, and many other things. We're currently experiencing lots of growth and would like to update our services and our public image, starting with a new logo.
Our target audience includes any and all photographers who are looking to take their photography to the next level. From raw beginners with their first point-and-shoot camera to seasoned professionals with expensive high-end camera systems. Our community is not brand-specific, although our members are more likely to own DSLR or film SLR cameras. We have many experienced photographers as members who act as mentors to beginners who ask for guidance.
We're looking for a new logo that accurately showcases our community's focus in a simple way. Most photographers are passionate about their gear, so incorporating an image or diagram of something that's camera-related would be great. For example, the aperture blades of a lens, or an exposure meter scale. While we do cater to film photographers, most of our members use digital cameras, so more modern depictions of the above would be preferable.
Our community is named Friendly Photo Zone, but it's often referred to as FPZ for short. Keeping this in mind, it would be great if those 3 letters could be clearly featured as part of the logo. It would also be great if the logo could be easily used both with just the letters "FPZ" or the words "Friendly Photo Zone", depending on where we use the logo.
Our web site resides at http://www.friendlyphotozone.com and the logo should integrate well with its colour scheme. Our current logo is attached to this brief. It's not very good, it was thrown together at the last second when we realized we needed a logo.
Finally, since we're promoting "friendliness" as part of our brand, it would be great if this could somehow be portrayed in the logo.
Please note, we want to avoid implying anything brand-specific.
Other than that, the sky's the limit! Feel free to be as creative as you need to be.

During WWII, American Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield) was an Army medic who refused to bear arms. In Okinawa, during the bloodiest battle of WWll, Desmond somehow single-handedly evacuated 75 men from behind enemy lines without firing or even carrying a gun.
He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, and also became the first Conscientious Objector in American history to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was presented with the award by President Harry Truman.
In addition to the brutal Okinawa battle, Desmond demonstrated bravery, compassion and heroism during attacks in Guam and the Philippines.

Living in Greece you dont get my selection its more or less the internet or the Army store - which has Greek combat gear for very short people! I ended up buying and Advocator Waterproof backpack.

From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Revision as of 18:07, March 11, 2008 by Scouterdennis (Talk | contribs)
If you prefer to email me privately: Craig Lincoln
New Worksheets
I see that you've undone a lot of what I did. Is there a reason that Mr. R's are being removed? And, is there a reason that the Worksheets page has been completely redone? I put a lot of time into that and it would have been courteous to have had some discussion over proposed changes. EagleForumFan 06:42, March 3, 2008 (EST)
- I apologize for any misunderstandings. Mr. R's content and links appear to not have been updated in several years. The requirements have changed since then. Meritbadge.org tries to only reference the current requriements. Many of links that are still viable have been added to meritbadge.org. If there are links that are missing from meritbadge.org, we should add them here.
- The reason for the updated worksheets is that most of the old worksheets contained wording that did not match the current requriements. The BSA is updating as many as 22-26 merit badges a year. Also, the new worksheets address formatting issues such as a need for increased line spacing to allow enough room for younger Scouts to write. Plus the new worksheets include a wealth of links to online content. 59 include video lessons to teach skills. These changes were made with direction of the site moderators. It was my understanding that the previous author had declined further updates. The "new" worksheets had originally been posted at usscout.org for years.
- The site moderators have asked that doc file formats no longer be used as this has allowed requirements to be altered. Again, sorry for any misundertstandings. - Craig (Milominderbinder2) 07:42, March 3, 2008 (CST)
- Thank you for the explanation. It was disconcerting to find so many changes without explanation. This makes perfect sense. EagleForumFan 01:04, March 5, 2008 (EST)
Activity Badges moved?
Could you please explain the rationale behind these changes?: Webelos Artist Activity Badge moved to Artist: To allow the Worksheet Template to work correctly and to be consistent with the Merit Badge nominclature. Scouterdennis 17:07, March 11, 2008 (EDT)

From Sharon Harvey Rosenberg: A Return to Frugal Living

Cutting Calories & Costs: My New Liquid Diet: Hold The OJ
At my house, our waists were expanding and we found a source of extra calories. Orange Juice! With 120 calories per 8 oz. serving, fruit juices are packed with calories.
And it's not just the calories. OJ and other juices are relatively expensive, especially when compared to water (zero calories) and honey-sweetened herbal fruit teas ( about 33 calories per serving). The numbers and the nutritional values are even worse when it comes to soda.
I did the math this afternoon. It's cheaper and healthier to drink water and herbal teas. I rarely drink soda and have really cut back on juices. I still like OJ and the vitamin-C kicker, but I don't want to drink 500-600 calories a day or spend more money than I have to.
Here are my figures for calories & costs:
Herbal Tea 64 oz Pitcher
4 Celestial Seasonings Tea Bags = 53 cents (total)
2 ounces of honey = 75 cents
filtered tap water = 0 cents
total = $1.28 for 64 oz = 16 cents per 8 oz serving = 33 calories
Orange Juice from concentrate
1 can (12 oz Tropicana) = $1.69
filtered tap water = 0 cents
total = $1.69 for 64 oz = 21 cents per 8 oz serving = 120 calories
Tropicana 64 oz container = $3.67 for 64 oz = 45 cents per 8 oz serving = 120 calories
Soda 6-pack $3.29 for 48 oz = 55 cents per 8 oz serving = 100 calories

If you like juice, apple juice tends to be cheaper (at least for me in NYS, but I think elsewhere as well).
There's also the idea that you can water down juice--dilute it a little. My wife, for example, finds OJ too sweet, so sometimes she'll add seltzer, like homemade Orangina. I'm not sure that kids like that much, though.
There also is a gentleman health guru on Clear Channel talk radio who pushes a half-water/half-juice per-glass practice to promote health (for people who I guess never eat vegetables & fruit) and lessen calories (for the same population).

Hey Frugal Duchess,
I was looking at Lazy Man's health blog and he mentioned you. Let me just say dieting is a pain in the culo! But the orange juice idea is definately a good one.
I've been writing about my weight loss objectives and what that might interest you on how I lost 25lbs in two months =)
and I'm working on the third one hehe.
Btw, this is an excellent post, with the recipes and all. thanks for sharing!

As the music world celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth, his influential music is more important than ever
Upcoming San Diego performances of John Cage's music
8 p.m., Sept. 5 (Space 4 Art, 325 15th St., San Diego): Fresh Sound opens its fall series with a Cage birthday celebration. UC San Diego's Tom Erbe will present a new performance version of Cage's groundbreaking 1952 electronic work, "Williams Mix." The program also includes performances by Negativwobblyland, Dieter Moebius and Jay Lesser (who will perform their own works, but whose experimental, cutting edge music, is much in the spirit of Cage).
7 p.m., Oct. 3 (UC San Diego's Conrad Prebys Music Center): Violinist János Négyesy, who premiered the first two books of Cage's "Freeman Etudes" in 1986, performs the entire four-book set. (858) 534-3448 or
7:30 p.m., Nov. 3 and 2 p.m., Nov. 4 (UC San Diego's Mandeville Auditorium): Steven Schick conducts the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus in Cage's "101" and 4"33'. Program also includes Missy Mazzoli's "Violent, Violent Sea" and Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, "Eroica." (858) 534-4637 or
Among the most comprehensive celebrations of Cage's 100th anniversary is John Cage Centennial Festival
The Sept. 4-10 event, codirected by UC San Diego's Roger Reynolds with Karen Reynolds and Steve Antosca, includes dozens of lectures, performances and performers, including percussionist Steven Schick and UC San Diego's percussion ensemble, red fish blue fish.
Look for daily reports from U-T San Diego's music and art critic, James Chute, on
In John Cage's most audacious composition, 4'33", the performer does nothing but sit. The sounds inside and outside the concert hall become the content of the work. ■ The audience was outraged at the first performance by pianist David Tudor in 1952, but we've all inadvertently performed that piece, even if not for the specified duration. Who hasn't had a John Cage moment when suddenly we become aware, even fascinated, by the sounds around us? ■ Cage dared classify those moments, ultimately "everything we do," as music. ■ "Cage redefined music as the act of perception, not just creation," said conductor, percussionist and UC San Diego faculty member Steven Schick. "So music comes from the way you listen to it, not just from what is being listened to. That's hugely important." ■ With Sept. 5 marking the 100th anniversary of Cage's birth (he died in 1992), there will be many Cage moments as institutions from Berlin to Washington, D.C. (where UC San Diego's Roger Reynolds, with Karen Reynolds and Steve Antosca, is codirecting an eight-day festival) reexamine the seminal composer's music, art and writings.
"Cage was a tremendous influence," said George Lewis, a former UC San Diego music professor now at
Cage not only addressed the way we listen but challenged the essentially European idea that music composition is a matter of will. Not only in his music, but in his art and his numerous books and essays, particularly "Silence," he advocated the use of "chance" operations and allowing aspects of a performance to develop in an "indeterminate" manner that aspired to be free of intention and the ego.
"I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of will or psychology in music or acoustic ecology," said Lewis, who is a recipient of a
Acceptance, acknowledgment
Margaret Leng Tan is a New York-based pianist who credits Cage with changing her life. Since the 1980s, when she first met Cage, she has championed Cage's keyboard music (she's going to be particularly busy during the Cage Centennial). The process of performing his works has been transformational.
"John Cage has helped me understand who I am really — through his music, his writings, his attitude toward life — and to help me get beyond myself," Tan said. "It's not only me; Cage has really permeated the fabric of everyone's life without them even knowing it."
Tan cites a long list: world music, minimalism, performance art, happenings, Fluxus, conceptual art …
"Even things like heavy metal music today," she said. "I think it's all because of Cage's acceptance of what to him was music, which embraced not only music but noise and silence. That's made it possible for everything that we hear today to be acceptable."
Acceptable, of course, is a relative term. During the 1930s and '40s, when Cage virtually invented the "prepared piano" (a piano that is modified by placing objects on the strings) and was instrumental in the instigation and evolution of a repertoire for percussion, he was celebrated by the wider musical establishment. He received performances in major concert venues like
In the late 1940s, however, he began studying Zen Buddhism and became interested in the "I Ching," the Chinese "Book of Changes." Just as someone using the "I Ching" accesses it by asking questions and tossing coins (which determines which of the book's 64 hexagrams might inform the answer), Cage began basing his compositions on similar "chance" procedures.
When 4'33" (whose duration was determined by chance) followed in 1952, the establishment that had once embraced him seemed bewildered, if not hostile. Other serious, experimental composers — including Boulez, Stockhausen and Xenakis — disavowed him, and performers openly scorned his work (in a notorious 1964 program with Cage's "Atlas Eclipticalis," the New York Philharmonic musicians openly sabotaged the performance).
Still, he found continued support in choreographer Merce Cunningham, his lifelong partner, as well as from visual artists, including Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, who were intrigued by the idea of giving up absolute control of the creative process.
"Cage complemented and contrasted very critically and successfully abstract expressionism, those types of heroic motivations in art," said artist and writer Ray Kass, who worked with Cage in executing a series of watercolors. "He seems to have offered many communities of people — whether it's poetry, philosophy, visual art or music — an alternative, a kind of way out of very directed, hyper-rationalist thinking."
No retreat
Cage kept exploring and pushing the edges. His 1967 "Musicircus" was essentially an invitation for different groups to perform simultaneously in the same space, whatever they wanted, when they wanted.
A U.S. bicentennial commission from the Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia orchestras resulted in "Apartment House 1776," which included, among other things, four vocalists from different religions singing songs at the same time — songs they selected from their respective traditions.
"It should be fairly clear that even though he's receiving a lot of very positive recognition, there's another side to all of this," said composer David Felder, who earned his doctorate at UC San Diego (and was there when Cage was in residence in the early '80s). "Many people have responded to Cage by saying this is a complete dead end and we need to return to more of what Copland was doing. …
"They are not interested and in fact say now we can return to where we should have been all along had we not been led astray by all those nasty serial composers and people like Cage who were interested in exploring other sound resources."
But no matter what your compositional bent, you can't ignore Cage.
"He's kind of a textbook element at this point," said composer Tamzin Ferre Elliott, an undergraduate at Bard College (who studied with Reynolds while growing up in Cardiff-by-the-Sea). "He's reached a level of historical importance where he's accepted along with these people like Stravinsky as a force to reckon with."
And once Cage let that "everything is music" genie out of the bottle, there was no going back.
"John Cage told us we could do anything," said Lewis, paraphrasing composer Rhys Chatham. "So now what do you want to do?"
One suggestion: Find the music in the sounds around you.
John Cage meets Jonas Salk
John Cage frequently visited UC San Diego, most recently in 1991, just a year before his death, and before that, in 1986 for the university's Pacific Rim Festival. Among UC San Diego professor Roger Reynolds favorite John Cage memories is a dinner then-vice chancellor Harold Ticho held for the festival participants, including Cage and famed scientist Jonas Salk.
Although Cage was on a macrobiotic diet, and even carried his own food with him, he would on occasion make exceptions, Reynolds explained. On this evening, he made an exception to sip some very good wine Ticho opened for the occasion.
"I think he and Salk had quite a few sips of wine, and at a certain point, John asked Jonas if he played chess," recalled Reynolds. Cage loved games and had learned chess from Marcel Duchamp (who had advised him, "Don't just play your side of the game, play both sides.")
Salk said yes, he played chess. Ticho produced a chess set and the two men sat down for a game.
"So the evening went on, and there was probably a little bit more drinking, and John was taken back to the place where he was staying," Reynolds recalled.
"The next morning the phone rang. I picked it up: 'Hello, Roger? It's John.'
"Then there was a long pause and he said: 'Did I play chess last night?'
"I said, yes: 'Did I play with Jonas Salk?'
"Yes, John. After a very long pause: 'Who won?'
"I said, you did, John.
'Lovely' (click)."

It was very tall -- seven or eight feet, but maybe a bit more -- and humanoid. It wore a dark suit with a white shirt and black tie. It wore a black bowler hat. But it had no face. Where a face should have been, there was a white blank. Nothing. And it would just stand there, staring.
I remember seeing it -- probably from dreams, but extremely vivid dreams. I remember seeing it standing across the street from my house. Sometimes, at night, I would creep to the window, and there he was -- staring up at my window. That's when I would creep into my parents' bed and sleep with them, which was something I generally didn't like to do. But for some reason, he could never cross the street.
But he COULD pass into my grandparents' (maternal) yard. I remember him there only twice. Once was a sunny afternoon, hiding behind the cherry tree that used to be there. Between the tree and the neighbour's dog pen, but closer to the tree. And then once on an overcast day, up at the top of the hill, by the old shack that was inexplicably up there. (My grandfather told me to never go in there because there were probably raccoons.) Again, just staring.
And once, around the time my sister was born, I saw him at the window. At the ___ window. I just remember backing away slowly, going into my uncle's old bedroom, and hiding in the closet. Grandpa found me eventually. He asked if I was playing a game. Grandma scolded me to get out. I don't remember what I did, but I know I wasn't speaking. They eventually got it out of me, and Grandma said that he had come because I hadn't eaten my lunch (I was always refusing to eat because I had all kinds of digestive problems.) Obviously, they didn't take me seriously. But again, I don't really think it was real. It was probably a bad dream.
But the times I remember the most -- the most vivid, and the most terrifying -- were at my grandparents' (paternal) house. I have so many memories of this thing there, specifically. These grandparents were the ones from County Cork, Ireland. They believed strongly in their folklore, and for whatever reason, were convinced that I was a changeling. Now, I was allowed to play outside -- by myself, which I loved because nobody else would let me do that -- but only if I had some special stones in my pocket and a set of Rosaries around my neck. (They were wooden and didn't have a cross attached to them. So maybe they weren't exactly Rosaries.) They were afraid that my "real" family would be back to get me someday. (Coincidentally, they hid all kinds of objects like this around my house. Obviously, though, not at my other grandparents' house.)
I was allowed to go back as far as I could in the yard, but I couldn't, say, go across to other houses. That was the only rule. The backyard was big enough, but beyond that was an old horse pasture that was covered in grass as tall as I was. There was an old fence, too, that was falling apart.
That's where I saw it. In the horse pasture.
It was an overcast day. It was going to rain. I think it was April. I was wearing my red raincoat that I could never snap by myself because the snaps were too hard. The lining had all these red whales all over it.
But, yeah, I was toward the back of the yard -- by the pear tree -- and I saw him. I froze, just watching. And then he moved. And the way this thing moved -- it wasn't human at all. It was, I don't know, serpentine. Distorted. It was like Stretch Armstrong, or something. He took one big step -- his legs stretched -- and he was halfway across the field. And he did it again, and he stood at the border of the yard. Just standing and staring. Staring with that blank face.
I remember running. I remember screaming hysterically. I saw Grandma on the porch. And then there was a huge gap of time missing. I was on the couch, covered in blankets. Granddad was there. He said I had gotten sick, had some kind of "spell", but I was okay now. There was an overwhelming sense that I was safe. That whatever it was, it could not cross that border into the yard."

Pence, Bumgarner named to NL All-Star squad
SAN DIEGO -- Madison Bumgarner might not play in the All-Star Game. Hunter Pence doesn't care whether he appears in it.
The pair of Giants are members of the 2014 National League All-Star team, and that's rewarding enough for them. They'll join their fellow National Leaguers against the American League All-Stars on July 15 at Minnesota's Target Field.
SAN DIEGO -- Madison Bumgarner might not play in the All-Star Game. Hunter Pence doesn't care whether he appears in it.
The pair of Giants are members of the 2014 National League All-Star team, and that's rewarding enough for them. They'll join their fellow National Leaguers against the American League All-Stars on July 15 at Minnesota's Target Field.
"I'm tremendously grateful," said Pence, 31. "I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity."
Said Bumgarner, 24, "To have your name mentioned with the rest of the guys is very humbling and I'm thankful for the opportunity."
Pence is currently on an 11-game hitting streak, his third double-digit stretch of the season, that has lifted his batting average to .301. He ranks among NL leaders in runs, hits and multiple-hit games. Pence's streak of 310 consecutive games played became the longest in the Majors on Sunday, when Kansas City's Billy Butler received a break after appearing in 347 straight games.
Bumgarner ranks among league leaders in wins, strikeouts and innings. He was selected for last year's squad but didn't pitch. And he might not appear in this year's All-Star Game, either, since he's tentatively scheduled to start for the Giants against Arizona on July 13. Any starting pitcher chosen for the All-Star team who makes a start on the Sunday immediately preceding the All-Star Game can decide whether to participate in the All-Star Game. Typically, these pitchers decline to throw a single All-Star pitch to avoid risking injury.
"Any chance I get to help us out here obviously takes precedence over anything else," Bumgarner said.
The Giants' fondest hope is for Tim Hudson to replace Bumgarner on the "active" roster. Hudson, a three-time All-Star, was noncommital about the idea.
"Right now I'm planning on going fishing," Hudson said of his plans for the All-Star break.
Prior ASGs: 2009, 2011
ASG Stats: 1-for-2, 1 run
How he made 2014 NL team: Player selection
Why He's an All-Star: His hustle and intense attitude are no act. They not only complement his statistics but also have made the Giants winners.
DYK?: Pence rides a scooter to AT&T Park. It was stolen earlier this season, but then quickly returned after San Francisco-area media reported Pence's dejection about the theft.
Quotable: "It's such a tremendous reward," Pence said. "I love the game so much. ... It's special. I wish I had better words to describe it."
Prior ASG: 2013
ASG Stats: None (did not play)
How he made 2014 NL team: Player selection
Why He's an All-Star: Consistency has been Bumgarner's hallmark. Also, he pitches with a controlled fury that subdues opponents.
DYK?: San Francisco's Opening Day starter this year, Bumgarner has matured into a legitimate team leader despite his youth.
Quotable: "He has emerged as one of the better left-handers in the game," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

Whether you're embarking on a new job search or want to invigorate an ongoing job search, it's critical to ensure you've set yourself up for success from start to finish. From finding job openings to preparing for job interviewers, you can make a lot of steps and possible missteps that will either help or hurt your efforts.
Resumes are still one of the most important tools you have in your job search arsenal. They're the first thing most recruiters see when they are combing through potential candidates. And while critical, they get just the briefest glance before they're "in" or "out" of the running. Therefore, it's important that your resume be ready to make a great first impression.
Herrien Ro, writing for TheLadders, has identified nine resume-building tools that will provide not only inspiration, but also help you easily construct or update your resume.

The good news for the Packers is that they won't lose for the third straight year in the divisional round of the playoffs.
The 2013 Packers won't get to that level of the postseason, thanks to a 33-yard field goal from Phil Dawson that gave the 49ers the win as time expired. FOX's replay showed the ball actually going through the arms of Packers cornerback Davon House, who had come around the edge in an effort to block the kick.
For San Francisco, it's the third straight appearance in the NFL's final eight. The 49ers will travel to Carolina next weekend, which means that three of the four conference semifinal games will entail a rematch of a regular-season game.
The Packers have now lost three times to the 49ers in less than a calendar year, thanks to an ongoing inability to shut down quarterback Colin Kaepernick. He rushed for 98 yards and threw for 227 on Sunday, including an 11-yard scamper on third and eight to move the ball into field goal range.
Still, the Packers didn't capitalized on a major blunder by Kaepernick. On the third play of the game-winning drive, Packers cornerback Micah Hyde jumped an out route intended for Anquan Boldin. Hyde had the ball in his hands, but he was unable to secure the interception.
Dawson's game-winning kick comes in his first year with the 49ers, after 14 years in Cleveland that included only one playoff game, a loss to the Steelers 11 years ago.

Mila Kunis is too scared to wear her engagement ring.
Mila Kunis is too scared to wear her engagement ring.
The 32-year-old actress was given a solitaire diamond by now-husband Ashton Kutcher when he proposed in February, 2014, with the Tiffany & Co. sparkler estimated to have cost around $260,000
But despite describing the jewel as "incredibly beautiful", Mila has admitted she's so terrified someone will steal her ring that she never wears it - instead choosing to keep it locked up safe.
"My engagement ring is in a safety deposit box and I'm like, 'I can't wear this because someone's going to chop my hand off for it!' " the actress said during an interview on KIIS 1065 radio station on Monday morning.
Bad Moms star Mila and Ashton tied the knot in July, 2015 and opted for very simple wedding bands. The actress added she chose to go through Etsy, a website that specialises in selling homemade, vintage and unique factory-manufactured items, for the rings because she wanted thin, plain ones.
"I decided our wedding bands were going to be wonderful and beautiful and simple, and so we got them made on Etsy," she said.
"Mine is 1mm platinum and his is 2mm yellow gold and made by a wonderful little old lady."
Mila revealed during an interview on U.S. chat show Conan last month that she had paid just $90 for her own ring.
"I wanted the thinnest possible platinum band - it's super, super thin," she explained. "And so I went and looked (in jewellery stores) and I was like, 'They're how much? This is astronomical!' So I went on Etsy and I was like, $90! Buy now! (This ring was) $90 everybody!"
After Mila's admission, host Conan O'Brien praised her for always being "frugal", to which the actress replied: "That's a nice way of saying cheap, but yes."

The Lord, having put on human nature, and having suffered for him who suffered, having been bound for him who was bound, and having been buried for him who was buried, is risen from the dead, and loudly proclaims this message:
Who will contend against me? Let him stand before me. It is I who delivered the condemned. It is I who gave life to the dead. It is I who raised up the buried. Who will argue with me? It is I, says Christ, who destroyed death. It is I who triumphed over the enemy, and having trod down Hades, and bound the Strong Man, and have snatched mankind up to the heights of heaven. It is I, says Christ. So then, come here all you families of men, weighed down by your sins and recieve pardon for your misdeeds. For I am your pardon. I am the Passover which brings salvation. I am the Lamb slain for you. I am your lustral bath. I am your life. I am your resurrection. I am your light, I am your salvation, I am your King. It is I who brings you up to the heights of heaven. It is I who will give you the resurrection there. I will show you the Eternal Father. I will raise you up with my own right hand.

One way or another, the Ravens are almost certain to have Joe Flacco locked up for at least the 2013 season before the start of free agency.
The same can't be said of left tackle Bryant McKinnie. Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reports that the Ravens don't expect to have a new deal done with McKinnie before he is eligible to hit the open market. Both sides have expressed an interest in continuing their working relationship, but waiting to ink a deal makes sense on both sides.
McKinnie gets a chance to see if the market pushes his price above what the Ravens might have been willing to offer while bidding against themselves. The Ravens, meanwhile, could wind up getting McKinnie at a cheaper price if the market has the opposite reaction as well as holding open the possibility of signing a different tackle whose price drops thanks to a crowded market for tackles this offseason.
The Flacco talks are obviously top priority for the Ravens, who are also expected to make a run at keeping linebacker Dannell Ellerbe from becoming a free agent. Per La Canfora, there haven't been any talks with safety Ed Reed to this point.

A Female Loner
I have never been entertained by idle chatter, or fluff. This has left me without many friends, maybe because I have been hurt so badly by other women. The way I think isn't common, I can see through phonyness and fakeness quite clearly; I guess that's why I don't do well in large social groups where one has to be nice to people and then engage in vicious gossip behind their backs. I have been the friend turned to during hard times, when one was short of money, or when others were suffering through low self esteem...but how quickly these friends abandon you when they shed those extra 50 pounds or you no longer wish to be their bank, or just aren't cool enough to be included in the group whose superficial conversations leave one mentally tortured and dead. At times, I was so desperate to be included by others that I put up with poor treatment...but I realized quickly that kindness is often mistaken for weakness, and groups are not kind to the weakest member within a socially rigid pecking order. Being rejected by others has built in me a deep empathy for societies' castoffs. So too have I developed a deep empathy for animals, who at times are treated cruelly and mercilessly by man. Has being a loner hurt me? socially it has, at times I feel isolated and lonely, and other times I am quite content in solitude. But the biggest benefit of being a loner is that when one is unleashed from society's mores, one can truly be oneself and no longer give a damn what anyone else thinks of you.

WILSON, N.C. – Amber Lau (Mt. Wolf, Pa.), Jessica Cohen (Ladsen, S.C.) and Jasmine Alston (Sumter, S.C.) combined for 63 points, while leading the Cobras to a decisive 79-66 win over Barton College on Wednesday night in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action.
Lau was the team leader with 25 points, five rebounds and four assists, with Cohen close behind scoring 21 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Alston added another 17 points and five rebounds to the trio's efforts in the win.
As a team, the Cobras were lights out hitting 52.6 percent of their shots from the floor. They also played outstanding defense holding one of the best shooting teams in the conference to just 39.1 percent from the field. Coker also shut down the Bulldogs long-range attack, as Barton was 0-for-12 from three-point land.
The Cobras will be back in action on Saturday at home against conference rival Belmont Abbey. Tip-off is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

Successful Day Down at Princeton
PRINCETON, N.J. – Holding onto its lead from the first day's play, the Yale men's golf team took home the Princeton Invitational on Sunday, beating out 11 other teams at the Springsdale Golf Club in Princeton, N.J..
For the second year in a row, the Bulldogs fended off tough competition to win the tournament, this time with a final team score of -4, a full six strokes better than Ivy League rivals Penn (+2), who took second-place, and 37 strokes ahead of Georgetown and Ancient Eight rival Princeton, who shared third-place at +33.
"It was a thrill to watch the team play this weekend, because they were incredibly patient and really smart on the course," said head coach Colin Sheehan '97. "We've had a lot of success at this event, and it's a course that we really like."
Last year, the Yale team only just clinched the tournament after a tense tie-breaker against Harvard, who finished on the same overall team score.
Leading the charge on Sunday was freshman Sam Bernstein, who powered through his round to finish at -5 overall for the tournament, a score that put him out in front in first-place individually. His rounds of 68 (-3), 72 (+1) and 68 (-3) were put together with a meticulous consistency that was hard to beat, and follow a number of other strong performances earlier in the season.
"This is great milestone for Sam - he is an extremely talented golfer and shows a lot of poise as a freshman," Sheehan said. "He has a game that is beyond his years."
Senior captain Thomas McCarthy, who shared first-place with Bernstein going into the final day's play, also did not disappoint, firing a 70 (-1) today to finish at -3, a score that put him in outright second-place. McCarthy's performance at this year's Princeton Invitational comes on the heels of last year's standout effort at the competition, at which he notched up rounds of 67 (-4), 70 (-1) and 73 (+2) to finish at -3 and claim first-place individually.
Not far behind McCarthy and Bernstein on the leaderboard was junior Jeffrey Hatten, who shot a final round 72 (Even) to finish at +3 overall and a tie for seventh-place.
"We were able to put together a good team effort, and maintain the good play for more than one round," McCarthy said. "Hopefully this win will kick start our season, and we can ride this momentum for the next two weeks."
The Elis will look to continue to build this momentum when they head to the Apr. 16-17 Century Intercollegiate at the Century Country Club in Purchase, N.Y..

text: Hi Devs, I am developing a theme for ISPConfig 3.0.4.x (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57106) with a higher impact on the layout than "just" the files in "themes/theme-name/". I would propose a "little" change of the "theming-engine" which would make the ISPC-frontend more flexible and the file-structure more logical. move template files from ISPC_WEB_PATH./$module/templates/*to ISPC_WEB_PATH./themes/theme_name/templates/$module/*ISPC_WEB_PATH./themes/tmpl_var name="theme"/templates/$module/* to not break all module files the class newTemplate must be changed to reflect the base-dir of ISPC_WEB_PATH./themes/tmpl_var name="theme"/ What do you as experienced php-developers think about the complexity of this modification? Would be great to not "hack" the template files of all modules for the new theme and by this breaking the default-theme.

WASHINGTON — The nation's consumer watchdog for credit cards, mortgages and other financial products is set to emerge from a legal cloud that threatened its authority after a Senate deal paved the way for confirmation of its director.
After Tuesday's approval of Richard Cordray to a five-year term as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the young agency now has the certainty that it has lacked since being created as the centerpiece of the 2010 Wall Street reform law.
That means that bureau rules and enforcement actions designed to protect consumers from risky mortgages, misleading credit card marketing, abusive debt collection and other questionable financial practices won't be in danger of being overturned because of legal questions about Cordray's controversial recess appointment in 2012.
"It finally removes the cloud that's been hanging over the agency since he got appointed a year and a half ago," said Alan S. Kaplinsky, chair of the consumer financial services group at law firm Ballard Spahr.
The financial reform law gave the bureau authority over a wide range of financial products and services, including debt collection, payday loans and others that have mostly eluded federal regulation.
Nearly all congressional Republicans and much of the financial industry opposed the bureau as a government overreaction, and they fought hard to reduce its power. They demanded significant changes in the bureau's structure, including replacing the single director with a bipartisan board, that the White House and Senate Democrats opposed.
As leverage to get their way, opponents blocked a confirmation vote on Cordray, a former Ohio attorney general. He was nominated by President Obama two years ago and installed in January 2012 with a recess appointment that was at risk of being overturned by the Supreme Court.
Such a ruling could have left the bureau without a director and without tough regulations that required a director's approval, including the levying of nearly $500 million in fines against banks and financial services companies.
But on Tuesday, Cordray cleared a major procedural hurdle after Democrats and Republicans reached a tentative agreement to avoid a confrontation over the use of filibusters on presidential nominees.
The Senate then voted 66 to 34 to confirm him. His recess appointment would have expired at the end of this year.
"Now … there's no doubt that the consumer agency will survive beyond the crib," said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who helped create and launch the agency before being elected last year. "There is now no doubt the American people will have a strong watchdog in Washington."
Cordray's confirmation removes questions about his future, said Scott Talbott, the chief lobbyist for the Financial Services Roundtable, which represents large banks. The trade group would prefer that a five-person board run the bureau, but Cordray has been a "solid" director, Talbott said.
"He is a thoughtful and careful leader," Talbott said. "While we don't always agree, he has an open door and will sit down and hear your side of the issue."
Kaplinsky said many of his banking clients are disappointed that the opportunity appears gone for now to reduce the director's authority and provide more congressional oversight. Michael Thurman, a corporate lawyer with law firm Loeb & Loeb, said companies "should expect a substantial increase in enforcement activity."
Consumer groups praised Cordray's confirmation.
"Now that the CFPB has a sheriff running the show, it can move on from all this uncertainty," said Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
He predicted the bureau would be more confident in taking action against financial companies.
Senators voted 71 to 29 to limit debate on Cordray's nomination, with 17 Republicans and two independents joining all the Senate's Democrats in removing the roadblock to Cordray's confirmation.
Senate Republicans have said the agency was too powerful and could become too involved in the financial dealings of consumers through new regulations on products and services. Several GOP senators recently have raised privacy concerns about the bureau's collection of data about consumer financial transactions.
"The lack of accountability and congressional oversight over the bureau's budget and director is troubling to say the least," Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) said Tuesday in opposing the decision to limit debate.
Republicans want the single-director position replaced by a bipartisan board similar to those that run most other government agencies. GOP senators also want the bureau's funding to be part of the congressional appropriations process instead of flowing directly from the Federal Reserve.
But facing the threat from Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to change Senate filibuster rules, some Republicans agreed to allow Cordray's nomination to move forward.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) said Cordray gained some Republican support by making assurances about oversight and bureau rule-making, such as agreeing to meet with the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Cordray's future was in question because his recess appointment came on the same day that Obama also installed three members of the National Labor Relations Board. Those labor appointments, which took place when the Senate was holding pro forma sessions, were overturned earlier this year by a federal court.
The Obama administration appealed and the Supreme Court recently agreed to hear the case. Although the case did not involve Cordray, analysts believed a ruling would have applied to him.
Cordray's confirmation doesn't resolve all the uncertainty over the bureau. A Texas bank and two free-market advocacy groups filed a lawsuit last year challenging the bureau's constitutionality. The suit is pending in U.S. District Court in Washington.

I received an e-mail from my 2nd cousin Wendy (whom I've only met on Facebook - go social media!) late this afternoon with some very interesting information based on the marriage certificate for Frances Pressner and Richard Henneberg, my great-grandparents:
- Frances' father was Robert Pressner . . . and his name was spelled "Pressnir", which may have been a shortened version of "Pressnirvinsky".
- Frances' mother was Anna Haring, but misspelled "Herring" on Frances' marriage certificate to Richard Henneberg.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 puts players in bone chilling, pressure-packed hunting situations as they seek out savage animals in the world's most dangerous locations.
Players will face raw danger as they encounter the fiercest animals on earth, including lions, grizzly bears, jaguars and more. Accurately modeled Cabela's equipment in the game means the firearms, tactics and gear are all realistic and precise -- but this won't always help in the face of an unpredictable, open environment packed with avalanches, elephant stampedes, and piranha infested waters. If you do miss a shot and fail to stop a charging man-eating animal, you will be forced to fight it via a melee defense -- but pay attention; it's likely another nearby animal will join the attack.

Chautauqua Swimming Pool
New municipal swimming pool featuring a leisure pool with zero depth entry, diving area, exercise/lap swimming, a lazy river, drop slide, family slide and deck sprays
Develop a design for a new swimming pool that was economical to build, operate and maintain, while providing a variety of aquatics features that would meet the varied needs and desires of the community.
SFS worked with the Beloit community, through public meetings and a citizen's survey, to develop options and ultimately select the preferred design solution for the new municipal pool. A site plan and 3D rendering were created and used during the pre-referendum campaign to help build support and excitement for the project. In addition to a Facebook page, a website was developed to promote the project with information regarding design, costs, benefits and financing for the project.
On June 7, 2011 the City held a special election for the ballot issue and the vote passed by a vote of 643 to 382. The SFS design team promptly started working on design documents to achieve the city's goal of opening the new pool in time for the 2012 Memorial Day weekend. Working closely with the client team and the contractor, the schedule was met. The new municipal swimming pool features a leisure pool with zero depth entry, diving area, exercise/lap swimming, a lazy river, drop slide, family slide and deck sprays.

Hello, is the CWD gun season that is in specific counties antlerless only? I went to Bass pro yesterday and they said it was antlerless only and did not offer. However, I looked in the IL guide and online and it says either sex and antlerless only tags available.
Am I missing something? Was there a lottery? Or was there a period to buy either sex and it is now closed?

I gave a lecture on Picviz during the Usenix Workshop on the Analysis of System Logs (WASL 2008).
My slides 'Picviz: finding a needle in a haystack' are available right here.
I also ran for the Cray log analysis contest analysis. Slides of stuff I discovered are here.
I lost the contest by 1 vote only, but I was fighting against someone who knew a lot about Cray. He had in my opinion a better talk than mine, but I just started the contest after my morning lecture and I preferred talking with people during lunch than doing the contest ;-)
My discoveries + slides writing took me half an hour (thanks latex+beamer).
