Friday of the Second Week of Lent
Today's Audio Mass Readings – Lectionary: 234
1st Reading – GN 37:3-4, 12-13A, 17B-28A
Israel loved Joseph best of all his sons,
for he was the child of his old age;
and he had made him a long tunic.
When his brothers saw that their father loved him best of all his sons,
they hated him so much that they would not even greet him.
One day, when his brothers had gone
to pasture their father's flocks at Shechem,
Israel said to Joseph,
"Your brothers, you know, are tending our flocks at Shechem.
Get ready; I will send you to them."
So Joseph went after his brothers and caught up with them in Dothan.
They noticed him from a distance,
and before he came up to them, they plotted to kill him.
They said to one another: "Here comes that master dreamer!
Come on, let us kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns here;
we could say that a wild beast devoured him.
We shall then see what comes of his dreams."
When Reuben heard this,
he tried to save him from their hands, saying,
"We must not take his life.
Instead of shedding blood," he continued,
"just throw him into that cistern there in the desert;
but do not kill him outright."
His purpose was to rescue him from their hands
and return him to his father.
So when Joseph came up to them,
they stripped him of the long tunic he had on;
then they took him and threw him into the cistern,
which was empty and dry.
They then sat down to their meal.
Looking up, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead,
their camels laden with gum, balm and resin
to be taken down to Egypt.
Judah said to his brothers:
"What is to be gained by killing our brother and concealing his blood?
Rather, let us sell him to these Ishmaelites,
instead of doing away with him ourselves.
After all, he is our brother, our own flesh."
His brothers agreed.
They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.
Responsorial Psalm – PS 105:16-17, 18-19, 20-21
R. (5a) Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
When the LORD called down a famine on the land
and ruined the crop that sustained them,
He sent a man before them,
Joseph, sold as a slave.
R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
They had weighed him down with fetters,
and he was bound with chains,
Till his prediction came to pass
and the word of the LORD proved him true.
R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
The king sent and released him,
the ruler of the peoples set him free.
He made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions.
R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
Verse Before The Gospel – JN 3:16
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son;
so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.
Gospel – MT 21:33-43, 45-46
Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people:
"Hear another parable.
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard,
put a hedge around it,
dug a wine press in it, and built a tower.
Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey.
When vintage time drew near,
he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce.
But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat,
another they killed, and a third they stoned.
Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones,
but they treated them in the same way.
Finally, he sent his son to them,
thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another,
'This is the heir.
Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.'
They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?"
They answered him,
AHe will put those wretched men to a wretched death
and lease his vineyard to other tenants
who will give him the produce at the proper times."
Jesus said to them, ADid you never read in the Scriptures:
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Send this special Miracle Healing Prayer to your friends and loved ones (WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter)
Healing Prayer
Therefore, I say to you,
the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you
and given to a people that will produce its fruit."
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables,
they knew that he was speaking about them.
And although they were attempting to arrest him,
they feared the crowds, for they regarded him as a prophet.
Catholic Daily Reflections
Rejection Transformed
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. Matthew 21:42
Of all the rejections that have been experienced throughout the ages, there is one that stands out above the rest. It's the rejection of the Son of God. Jesus had nothing other than pure and perfect love in His Heart. He wanted the absolute best for everyone He encountered. And He was willing to offer the gift of His life to whoever would accept it. Though many have accepted it, many have also rejected it.
It's important to understand that the rejection Jesus experienced left deep pain and suffering. Certainly the actual Crucifixion was extraordinarily painful. But the wound He experienced in His Heart from the rejection of so many was His greatest pain and caused the greatest of suffering.
Suffering in this sense was an act of love, not an act of weakness. Jesus didn't suffer interiorly because of pride or a poor self image. Rather, His Heart hurt because He loved so deeply. And when that love was rejected, it filled Him with the holy sorrow spoken of in the Beatitudes ("Blessed are they who mourn…" Matthew 5:4). This sort of sorrow was not a form of despair; rather, it was a deep experience of the loss of the love of another. It was holy, and a result of His burning love for all.
When we experience rejection it is hard to sort out the pain we feel. It's very hard to let the hurt and anger we feel turn into a "holy sorrow" which has the effect of motivating us toward a deeper love of those whom we mourn over. This is difficult to do but is what our Lord did. The result of Jesus doing this was the salvation of the world. Imagine if Jesus would have simply given up. What if, at the time of His arrest, Jesus would have called on the myriads of angels to come to His rescue. What if He would have done this thinking, "These people are not worth it!" The result would have been that we would have never received the eternal gift of salvation by His death and Resurrection. Suffering would not have been transformed into love.
Reflect, today, upon the deep truth that rejection is potentially one of the greatest gifts we have to fight against evil. It's "potentially" one of the greatest gifts because it all depends on how we ultimately respond. Jesus responded with perfect love when he cried out, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." This act of perfect love in the midst of His ultimate rejection enabled Him to become the "Cornerstone" of the Church and, therefore, the Cornerstone of new life! We are called to imitate this love and to share in His ability to not only forgive, but to also offer the holy love of mercy. When we do, we also will become a cornerstone of love and grace for those who need it the most.
Lord, help me to be that cornerstone. Help me to not only forgive every time I'm hurt, but let me also offer love and mercy in return. You are the divine and perfect example of this love. May I share in this same love, crying out with You, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." Jesus, I trust in You.

July 8, 2013, Portland, OR (ISN) – Portland Winterhawks forwards Paul Bittner, Keegan Iverson and Dominic Turgeon have been named to the U.S. Under-18 Select Team that will compete at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament Aug. 5-10 in Breclav, Czech Republic, and Piestany, Slovakia.
Bittner, Iverson and Turgeon are the only players from the WHL named to the team.
"The opportunity to represent their country at this prestigious event is a tremendous honor for Paul, Keegan and Dominic," said Portland Winterhawks General Manager & Head Coach Mike Johnston. "This tournament will be great preparation for the regular season and the expanded roles we expect all three to take on next year."
Bittner had 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points in 45 games last season. Iverson had six goals and four assists for 10 points in 47 games in his first full WHL season. Turgeon registered three goals and five assists for eight points in 54 games.
The Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament is an annual event held each August for national under-18 teams from around the world. Named for one of the first Czech hockey stars, the Hlinka Tournament began in 1991 as a three-team showcase. Between 1997 and 2002, the format shifted to the current eight-team tournament. It was then named after Hlinka in 2007, three years after his death.

Cool Car Colors: Which 2017 Models Are Available in Green?
Last year in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I wrote a list of which 2016 vehicles are offered in factory-painted shades of green–and the response I received was overwhelming. Many readers not only read the article but voiced their appreciation that someone else out there was disappointed in the lack of green color options on today's market.
To me, that clearly shows that despite green being less and less common among new models, customer still are demanding it. So listen up automakers–instead of only offering your vehicles in "metallic steel yawn" or "50 shades of grey," try giving your cars more personality. Stop favoring exclusively bland, stoic hues.

About a month ago when our parents were here, we visited the beautiful colonial city of Granada.
We all took notice of the different types of doorways and I thought that they were worth capturing on film.
I am hoping to print up some of these for artwork in our future place. Cheap decorating is always great!
I love the uniqueness of each one. They each have a story to share. Each has a different family living behind it's door.
Do you have a favorite?
I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse of Granada…

Our project in english
Finishing our studies this year, we wish to carry out a project of voyage the purpose of which is to reconcile three passions: that of the voyage, discovered other and cultural logics of manufacture of the identity, that of education and finally that of European construction.
What animates us is a global vision of identity construction and its inscription in a political project. In our eyes, the current world requires a complex and intercultural approach of the identity, an approach to which the European project gives all the possibilities of full blooming.
The European citizenship is essentially a multicultural citizenship, but it still remains to give to each one the average intellectuals of living complexity. It seems to us that the acquisition of such sensitivity cannot be done without confronting oneself with the unknown, as well intellectually as physically.
We thus seek by our voyage to continue a logic whom we have already begun for a few years, i.e. to accentuate our knowledge of the other and thus of us even, in order to as well as possible be able to teach the complexity and logics of construction of the identity. This teaching is a major challenge within the European Union which pains still today to release a clear vision of its identity. This identity can be only complex and multicultural and must thus exceed the processes of identity construction national without discrediting nor to deny the latter.
Today, the European Union is on the way to obtain a Constitution, therefore of rules of life and common values by the means of a political project. However there is a deep shift between what imply a European citizenship and the conscience that have some the European people.
The recent countryside chief clerk in France on the European Constitution shows once more how much the national framework remains prevalent in the modes to think. No one cannot say yet the long-term consequences of the rejection of the Constitution by the people French and Dutch but there remains certain that the open crisis within the European Union is major and durable.
However we are convinced that the European citizenship carries in itself the values and logics of a world citizenship. For this reason the European project remains unquestionably carrying progress, for Europe and the world, and it is necessary to work with better teaching the means of being able to include/understand but also to live and share the European adventure. The role of teach is for this reason of primary importance. It must have incorporated itself a "complex thought" (see work of Edgar Morin on this subject) and intercultural in particular by the training of the foreign languages and several experiments of life abroad.
The principal goal of our voyage is thus to know and more include/understand in order to divide, to teach this knowledge and this comprehension. Having the experiment necessary to such a company (see CV), we will intervene (a great flexibility will enable us to answer different requests so necessary) in college and high school of each country crossed in order to undertake several intercultural activities to it and a sensitizing to the European citizenship (details are available in the file of our project "Dream of Europe" that you can download on our Webblog: http://reve-europe.blogspirit.com).
Our project is patron by the Council of Europe under the programme "2005, European Year of Citizenship through Education"
Such is thus the goal of our voyage: quite simply to combine practical theory and, to teach intercultural complexity and logics all while living them with the daily newspaper, to make become aware of what is the European identity while staining to be oneself a little nearer, from the lived experiment and summons it acquired knowledge, of what can be an European.
Two protagonists of the voyage:
MOUILLET Yves, 24 years, of French nationality by his father and Polish by his mother, European French foreign language Master finished. Having carried out many stays abroad, it in particular spent 6 months to Spain as an Erasmus student and an teacher to the University of Ciudad-Real. It then remained 6 months in Germany as a professor within the French Institute of Leipzig, (we quote only our "long" stays abroad punctuated of a professional experience). Last year he was a French foreign language professor at the University of Nancy 2. He was also a president of Young Nancy Europeans is met of work the program "Europe at the school". He speaks usually Polish, German, Spanish and English.
PIERPAOLI Michel, 25 years, of French nationality finishes its studies this year by the realization of a European Master in La Sorbonne University. Historian of formation, Michel knows Germany well y to have worked on several occasions with Frankfurt-am-Main. He also carried out the previous year a European Voluntary Service in Poland, 6 months, in Katowice. It worked in the European regional center of information youth and carried out many interventions in the Polish school establishments. Last year, he was in charge of mission for the project of Young Europeans France entitled "Europe at the school". This project is supported by the Ministry for National Education and the Council of Europe. Michel speaks usually English and has a good Polish and German level.
Crossed route and countries:
The crossed countries will be thus, initially: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary (the island of Malta will be avoided because of its difficult and expensive accessibility), Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzégovine, Albania, Macedonia and Serbia Montenegro. Above Serbia Montenegro we will continue by the two future members planned for 2007: Romania and Bulgaria but also Moldavie. Turkey which is responsible of the debate on the identity and the borders of the European Union and Cyprus. One countrie of Eastern Europe: Ukraine (Bielorussia will be avoided because of its political regime and Russia because of a lack of time). Finally we will finish our circuit by Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
Duration of the voyage:
We thus wish to traverse these 21 countries in 9 months. Covered geographical space, although important, nevertheless is voluntarily limited in order to allow us to at least spend 15 days in the smallest countries (Slovenia, Estonia, etc.) up to 30 days for most important of them (Poland, Turkey, etc).
Means of transport:
Eager to preserve a perfect freedom of mobility, we hope to move on board a vehicle of the van type of great dimension, this one acting as motor home (dormitory, "office", storage of the material and food, etc). We will also have two bicycles at our disposal. We bought a Ford Transit FT 190 that we built ourselves as a camping car. You can watch the photos of the construction on our Webblog: http://reve-europe.blogspirit.com
Total budget of approximately 26500 €.
We are sponsored by the European Commission, the french Ministery of Europeans Affairs, the french Ministery of Youth, the French Youth Europeans and the French European Mouvement associations, the french city of Nancy and we won different concours.
September 2005.

How to Make Vegetable and Vermicelli Upma (Tarakari Uppittu)
Wheat Vermicelli and Vegetable Upma
A Wholesome Dish for the Lunchbox Too
Making vermicelli and vegetable upma is easy. You need only basic ingredients to make it. It took me about 35 minutes to make this breakfast for four people.
You have to roast the vermicelli before cooking it with the vegetables. Otherwise, the upma becomes mushy. Use vegetables of your choice, such as carrots, onions, french beans, green peas, capsicum, tomato, etc in this recipe. Adding lemon juice, grated coconut, and chopped coriander leaves gives a nice flavor to this upma.
Let me share the detailed recipe now.
Cook Time
- 2 cups wheat vermicelli, broken
- 1/2 cup beans and carrots, cut lengthwise
- 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup capsicum, diced
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1/6 cup green peas or hyacinth beans, optional, I used
- 4 green chilies, slit
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 8 curry leaves
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt, or as per taste
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, optional
Step-By-Step Instructions and Images for Making Wheat Vermicelli and Vegetable Upma:
- Heat oil in a deep-bottomed pan. Add mustard seeds. Let it splutter. Add peanuts. Saute on a low fire till they are crisp. Add curry leaves. Mix well. Collect peanuts and curry leaves in a plate. Keep aside.
- In the same pan, add vermicelli. Saute, till they turn crispy and golden brown. This may take about 4-5 minutes on a low fire. Collect it in a plate. Keep aside.
- In the same pan, add some oil. Heat the pan. Throw in chopped onions. Saute till they are golden.
- Add all other chopped vegetables. Add some salt. This will make the cooking faster. Stir-cook them for 3-4 minutes. Add turmeric powder. Mix well.
- Pour 4 glasses of water. Stir once. Let the mix boil for 2-3 minutes. Add roasted vermicelli. Keep the flame low. Mix well. Cover the pan. Stir the mix occasionally.
- After 5-6 minutes, vermicelli gets cooked along with the veggies and becomes dry. Add lemon juice, roasted peanuts, grated coconut, remaining salt, sugar, and chopped coriander leaves.
- Mix well. Turn off the fire after 30 seconds. Vermicelli and vegetables upma is ready!
- Transfer it to a serving dish. Eat it hot, and enjoy the taste.

We devote an entire section of a chapter on pies in Northern Hospitality to the pumpkin pie. Why so many pumpkin pie recipes? Because it turns out that the pumpkin pie as we know it is only one of many versions early New Englanders baked. Before there was the custardized pumpkin pie that Americans came to call their own, there was a somewhat odd pumpkin pie made in Britain and throughout the British colonies. Yup, folks liked it. It called for frying pumpkin strips in an herb-and-spice-laden pancake batter, known by its medieval name of froiz, then cutting up the pancakey pumpkin strips and layering them in the bottom of the pie with apple slices, currants, and lots of butter. Then, after the two-crust pie was baked . . . well, we'll leave the addition of the wine caudle to the warm pie for you to read about in Northern Hospitality (p, 301), or in a post about it elsewhere on this blog!
On to our favorite early American pumpkin pie, now sadly forgotten by most. When Americans think of pumpkin pie, they envision only Amelia Simmons's single-crust custard pumpkin pie, the one we find on our Thanksgiving tables today. But the two-crust pie given below, made with sugar rather than molasses, and with a rich but delicate puff pastry crust, is just as American and lots of fun to make and serve to guests.
The recipe for two-crust pumpkin pie originally appeared in the pudding section of Amelia Simmons's American Cookery (Hartford, 1796), the first American cookbook, and is reproduced in Northern Hospitality, p. 301. By the way, we've written an entire book on Amelia Simmons, her mysterious life and her amazing cookbook. Our book is United Tastes: The Making of the First American Cookbook (University of Massachusetts Press, 2017) and is available on the publisher's website, from indie bookstores, and on Amazon. Just sayin' . . .
Preheat oven to 375 ° F.
1 small pumpkin, or 1 15-ounce can stewed pumpkin
1 pint heavy cream
4 medium eggs, beaten 1⁄2 teaspoon ground mace
1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
1⁄3cup sugar
2 9-inch pie crusts, store bought or from the "Puff Pastry" recipe found on this blog
Fit one of the pie crusts into a pie pan and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Line the pie crust with parchment paper or tin foil, and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the sides of the crust are just beginning to brown and the bottom is dry. Remove from the oven, prick the bottom with a fork, and cool on a wire rack.
If using fresh pumpkin, reduce the oven heat to 350° F. Halve the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Pour water in a roasting pan to a depth of 1/4 inch. Put the pumpkin halves in the pan, skin side up, and roast for 50 minutes or until the inside of the pumpkin is quite soft. Remove from the oven and scoop out the softened pumpkin into a mixing bowl. Mash with a large wooden spoon or potato masher.
Pour the eggs and cream into the bowl of a stand mixer or a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until they are thoroughly blended.
Place 11⁄2 cups of the cooked fresh pumpkin, or the same amount of the canned pumpkin, in another mixing bowl. Mix in the spices and sugar. Add this mixture to the egg-cream mixture and stir until thoroughly blended. Ladle the resulting custard into the par-baked bottom crust.
Spread the top crust on a pastry board. With a dough spur or serrated knife, decorate it in a checkerboard pattern. Drape it over the pie dish containing the bottom crust and the filling. Fold the edge over the edge of the bottom crust and crimp together gently it with a fork.
Bake the pie at 350° F for 1 hour. Reduce the oven heat to 325° F and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the top crust is nicely browned and the filling feels solid inside. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.

"Well, I'm on my way back from Cincinnati, on what was essentially a wasted trip. I went up to help my mom move, but naturally being my mother, when I got there she wasn't ready to move. She didn't have a truck. She didn't have one reserved, and so I wound up not going over there because I'm afraid I would have just strangled her. So the only upshot was I got to see my sister and hang out at her house for a couple of hours, while we waited for Mom to call us and tell she was ready and then we finally realized that was not gonna happen today. So we went out for pizza and had a good time just hanging out. We wound up sitting in her car and talking for a while when we got back. So, it was cool just catching up with Chris, I just probably would have prefered to do that another time when I knew that's what we'd be doing so we could plan something. But I'm on way back to Indiana and so I'm trying a public voice post because who knows if I'll have time to journal."

Hi Ian; As you told we can use explicitly specify ANDs and ORs operator set parser. Otherwise we can use default parser to get hit(document) which is ORs. Do not gives correct hit(document)!!! My question is that, Is there any parser we can use in case of multiple Boolean clause in search string? If not? Please suggest me how to get correct hit(document).

John O'Shea has rubbished the cynics who are suggesting Manchester United are already out of the Premiership title race.
While the return of Rio Ferdinand from his eight-month suspension has dominated the build-up to tonight's Old Trafford crunch with Liverpool, Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson is more concerned at the need for three much-needed league points.
His side go into the game in an unaccustomed 13th spot, 10 points adrift of defending champions Arsenal.
A victory will not take them any higher than seventh and critics are lining up to claim their era of dominance is over.
O'Shea, though, looks at the situation very differently.
The Irish defender feels the Old Trafford outfit proved their legendary powers of recovery still exist by their stunning second-half fightback in Lyon last week.
He thinks anyone who believes they are a spent force are badly mistaken.
O'Shea said: "From what some people are saying you would think it was February or March.
"We have only played five matches yet they are writing us out of the title race already.
"With the players we have on the field, and the ones still to come back, that is a mistake.
"We have a gap to close but we are more than capable of doing it. You only have to look at the history of the club to know you should never write us off."
With neither Arsenal nor Chelsea managing to record a victory this weekend, Manchester United have been presented with a major opportunity to make up ground, even if recent results against Liverpool at Old Trafford have not been impressive.
The visitors seem to have developed a sharper edge under new coach Rafael Benitez and the presence of Djibril Cisse in their squad takes O'Shea back a few years.
He said: "I remember playing against him for Ireland at under-15 and under-16 levels and he was pretty quick back then, so even though Michael Owen has left, you could hardly say Liverpool have lost any pace.
"The new Spanish players seem to be gelling quite well, so it is going to be a tough game, as it usually is against them.
"Traditionally Liverpool have always been one of our massive rivals and when the fixture lists come out it is one of the matches you first start to look for.
"The fans will be up for it, that is for sure, and it is probably an ideal game for us to kick-start our season."

College of Marin Volleyball traveled to Sacramento for the Cosumnes River Quad on Friday. They faced off against the host team Cosumnes River College as well as the visiting Columbia College. The Mariners split on the day falling to the host team 3-1 but responded well with a 3-0 sweep of Columbia College.
The Mariners came out slowly in their first match as they dropped the first two sets to Cosumnes River College 25-14 and 25-11. The team responded well with a very competitive third set that Marin took 25-22. The fourth set needed extra points which cosumnes River won 27-25.
Despite the loss in the match, the Mariners competed well led by Freshman Alejandra Leon who had 12 kills and 15 digs. Sarah Harris had 36 assists and 13 digs as the setter while Salomi Galodamu had seven kills, two aces and a block.
Coach Gera was pleased with the performance in the first match of the day, "Our team showed a lot of fight against Cosumnes River. After being down 0-2 in the match we really came together played with great energy and rose to the challenge. We had some entertain rally's and stayed patient in transition. Alejandra Leon was our spark throughout the match and continued to terminate and produce for us. Middle blockers Elisa Steele and Salomi Galodamu continue to add depth to our offensive system."
The Mariners displayed their resiliency in their second match of the day. Against Columbia College, COM was the aggressor. They controlled the game play from the outset and easily dispatched their opponent in straight sets.
Marin used a balanced approach with contributions across the board. Leon led the way with seven kills and 11 digs. Bella De Souza had four kills and seven digs. Sarah Harris had 18 assists and five digs while her sister Emma had four kills and five digs of her own. Galodamu had three kills, five digs and three blocks of her own.
On the day, Coach Gera took pride in her team's effort "I love that we are being challenged in the preseason. It gives our players a chance to embrace diversity and grow as a team."
The Mariners next challenge is Santa Rosa Junior College at the West Valley Quad on Wednesday, September 6th.

My trip will be in 13 days. I'm really looking forward to it.
Myself and my friends have all gotten older. Unlike when we were teenagers and such, there isn't always time to hang out all the time. When there IS time, not all schedules coincide. Also, until recently, I've been a lot more tired and worn out so haven't been able to do all the fun and exciting stuff that my friends and I used to.
I used to love riding my bike. My siblings and I used to ride our bikes all the time. We'd be out riding for hours. My determination to keep up with of them deterred me from wanting to ask for a break to relax. In fact…I didn't need a break. I could ride and ride as long as it took.
The summer before I was diagnosed with Lupus was a great one, and I'm glad it turned out the way it did. I spent the entire summer outdoors, having fun. I rarely spent one day walking around. Myself and my best friend at the time Nickeisha (we're still great friends) rose our bikes EVERYWHERE. We spent time at each other's houses cooking, eating, and watching Tv. We headed to my house to ask my father for change so that we could head over to the local 7-eleven to buy ourselves slurpees. I remember once, Nickeisha and I noticed a commotion in the 7-eleven parking lot so we headed over to investigate. There were promotion people from Mountain Dew there. They were holding a contest.
There was a surprising amount of kids our age there….perhaps 25-30. We had to get into even teams, then between us, drink an entire 2L bottle of mountain dew. The winner got a prize (a prize that I cannot remember….but it wasn't a great one) My team didn't win, but I feel that we should have. The team that won cheated…Donald gulped up a whole bunch of mountain dew in his mouth then spit it out because he couldn't swallow it all. That's what gave them the edge.
I was pleased that I won a prize all by myself. I won "The Macarena" contest. They had a loud speaker blaring The Macarena just to the side of the 7-eleven. We all were asked to do The Macarena, and whoever did it the best won. I won 🙂 I won a white t-shirt with a cow on it (if I recall, something having to do with milk). I gave it to my Dad. He was happy to get it.
I wish I could revert back to those days. I didn't have a care in the world. I didn't worry about Lupus, or dialysis, or broken bones, or avascular necrosis…no worries about perforated bowels, paralyzation, drug side effects…nothing.
It pains me to have to go through all of that stuff, but at the same time, I'm very happy with the person I've turned into. I'm not sure what kind of person I'd be or what kind of personality I'd have if I hadn't gone through all that I've gone through. My life's experiences have made me humble, understanding, tolerant, and eager to learn.
I look forward to going on this trip. It'll give me the oppourtunity to hang out with my family (minus big bro), to see my aunt, and to explore some new citys. It'll also give me the chance to clear my head as I've been getting the blahs. Kinda down, kinda irritated…and so forth.
I really need this.

This is a scripture so many of us know. I've read it zillions of times. This morning I learned something new that just blesses me big time! I gotta share it.
I looked up "wait for" in the Hebrew. Here is what part of the definition said: "The root meaing is that of twisting or winding a strand of cord or rope . . . the word is used to signify depending on and ordering activities around a future event."
So what, I hear the sceptic say.
Let me tell you what I got from it. It is good.
In waiting on God, we are meant to use that time to get stronger in Him. For when the answer comes, the blessing, we will need those extra deep roots in Him to keep centered in Him, keep our eyes on Him. It is His mercy that doesn't answer too soon.
Think about it. My nine year old daughter wants to be a mom one day. What if God granted this desire? Very likely it would be deadly for her body, but even if she could withstand a pregnancy and delivery, she is not equipped to be a mom in any way. The blessing of a baby would become a curse to her.
And think of the many people who win big money but aren't prepared for it. So often, it destroys their lives.
In the wait God is giving us time to prepare for what is coming. He is giving us time to build up those muscles we might not use very often. Thank you Jesus for your wisdom!
Praise Him for the wait today. It is evidence of His understanding and compassion.

Caution over recovery
Published: 24 September, 2009
LONDON: The recovery in the economy may be nothing more than a "false dawn", the Bank of England warned. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) said that although the technical recession is nearing an end, recovery would not be pain-free.
Rising unemployment and weak consumer spending will put the sustainability of the recovery in doubt. House prices and stock markets have risen over recent weeks, but the MPC suggested that weak bank lending, high levels of public debt, and damaged bank balance sheets could trigger an economic relapse.
Mark Clare, chief executive of house builder, Barratt, echoed these comments. He warned that a lack of mortgage finance, rising unemployment, and the consequences of the national debt will prove a "drag" on the market.
House building will take eight to 10 years to recover to the pre-recession era, Mr Clare said. Similarly, The Confederation of British Industry warned that the rush to buy big ticket items such as kitchens and furniture before VAT returns to 17.5% on 1 January next year – after it was cut to 15% in December 2008 to stimulate spending – will dampen consumer spending in 2010, ensuring growth is "fragile".
It expects household consumption to fall by 3.2% in 2009 and by 0.2% in 2010, although growth should return on a quarterly basis in the second half of the year. The CBI expects house prices, a key driver of RMI activity, to fall on average by 9.8% in 2009 as a whole and grow by 0.8% in 2010.

Potential UFA target: Alexander Semin
Oh where to start with this one…. Alexander Semin is known to be soft, he has an awful reputation for disappearing when a season matters most and he's outstayed his welcome in Washington on a team that collectively has (massively) underachieved. Despite all this, there is a lot to like about Semin as a potential free agent target.
Barring a generous contract offer from the KHL, or an offer from one of the NHL's lottery teams desperate for a quick fix, Semin is highly unlikely to get the same kind of money he earned this season ($6m) this summer. If Semin wants to play for a team with playoff/Cup aspirations, he will certainly need to keep his demands relatively modest.
Semin has a wicked shot and is a pure goal scorer who has proven he can be a point/game player in the NHL. There are not many of those to be had on the cheap. He can produce offensive on his own, something that he had to do a lot of in Washington because for most of his tenure the Caps lacked a skilled second line center to take advantage of Semin's ability. Alex Ovechkin (rightly so) was the main beneficiary of Nicklas Backstrom's playmaking abilities leaving Semin to play with the likes of Troy Brouwer, Marcus Johansson, and aging veterans such as Jason Arnott and Brendan Morrison.
There are several legitimate reasons to consider Semin as an option for the Rangers.
First of all, the 'only' thing he costs is dollars. Unlike acquiring Rick Nash, Bobby Ryan or even grabbing Nashville's Radulov, Semin doesn't cost the organisation assets and given that the Rangers never worry for cash, his contract would be of no concern other than for the cap mathematicians at the MSG. He's unlikely to be able to demand a long-term commitment given his damaged reputation. Compared to Zach Parise there is no risk in that aspect either.
Then there is the Marian Gaborik factor. With Gaborik likely to miss a chunk of next season (barring CBA complications) and likely needing plenty of time to get back to full speed, the Rangers lack of top end skill is even more noticeable than it was toward the end of their recent playoff run. Enter Semin? The Russian could play on either of the top two Rangers lines (with or without Gaborik) and the Rangers have more play-making support (in the form of Richards, Stepan and even Anisimov) than the Capitals had down the middle. The Rangers should be able to put Semin in a position to succeed.
Semin is clearly not built in the Tortorella mould and that would be a significant concern. He's a finesse player (to put it politely) and there'd have to be some compromise on both sides if Semin would join the Rangers and be a success. However, has that process already begun? With Tortorella's recent comment "You have to be really careful about ruling people out; you don't want to box yourself in" maybe the coach has truly recognised he needs to embrace (aka tolerate?) skilled types such as Semin.
Simply put, Semin scores goals at an impressive rate. With a 40 goal season on his CV -backed up by two 30 goal campaigns – the main issue that has stopped those numbers from being even more impressive is a Gaborik-like health résumé. With three of his last five seasons producing less than 70 games played, Semin will never win any ironman contests.
The bottom line is this: rarely does such an elite level, skilled player such as Alexander Semin potentially come with such little risk. If a one or two year deal proves unsuccessful the Rangers can simply move on from a failed experiment, from a calculated risk. There is no ripple effect of lost assets or tears from missed opportunities, such as a window of contention slamming shut. The Rangers are one potential contender (and a young one at that) that can afford to give Semin a second chance. It could work for both sides.

Wiring Diagram easy enough. Just make sure on the VTX to use the 5v pad NOT the VTX power pad. CAM Video goes to CAM Signal and VTX Signal goes to VTX VDIN PAD. This allows you to leverage the OSD Features.

The TomoQuad Predator Frame uses 3mm standoffs. The HGLRC FC JXB F425 uses 2mm so you can use 16g sheathing to fill in the slop. Works great.

I painted the frame with paint from Banggood for the Model Airplane Paint. Just make sure you use several thin coats and let it dry between coats. Can take several days to do if done right.

Biggest issue with the frame is the USB connector is in the way of the standoff. Similarly on the battery leads. You must solder the negative lead on the side to get around the standoff.

Moon Racer won the 2015 Champion Bumper at Cheltenham
PICTURE: Getty Images
By Alex Wiltshire 5:00PM 19 SEP 2016
EXCITING prospect Moon Racer is set to make his hurdle debut at Perth on Thursday at the age of seven, after trainer David Pipe confirmed his intention to run the 2015 Champion Bumper winner over obstacles for the first time.
Moon Racer was denied the chance to run over hurdles last season after an injury, although Pipe toyed with the idea of letting him run in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival without any hurdling experience before running out of time.
Instead the seven-year-old lined up in the Champion Bumper at the the Punchestown Festival in April finishing second on his first start for more than a year.
The son of Saffron Walden was previously unbeaten in three starts before that defeat and Pipe was again denied the chance to run Moon Racer over hurdles in May when overnight rain at Worcester turned the ground soft.
But on Monday Pipe reported himself pleased by his star's progress and said in his blog: "Our 2015 Champion Bumper winner Moon Racer is an intended runner in the novices' hurdle at Perth on Thursday. It will be great to have him back on course following his excellent second at Punchestown in April.
"He has done plenty of work at home, has pleased me with his schooling and looks an exciting recruit to hurdles.
"The Perth crowd could be in for a real treat as the 2016 Cheltenham Bumper winner Ballyandy also features among the entries, what a clash that would be!"
Moon Racer is 16-1 for the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

A week after suffering a stroke, singer Luther Vandross is showing signs of recovery and is in critical but stable condition. Doctors believe that the Grammy-winning artist has not suffered damage to the portion of the brain that controls speech, according to spokesperson Lois Najarian.
"The family and friends of Luther Vandross appreciate the national prayer vigil that was held [Wednesday] across the country," Najarian said in a statement released Wednesday (see "Luther Vandross Suffers Stroke"). "The prayers must be working! Luther Vandross has shown the first positive signs that his recovery is under way."
Vandross suffered the stroke on April 16, just a few days before his 52nd birthday, and a spokesperson for the Weill Cornell Medical Center of New York-Presbyterian Hospital said he is still in the intensive care unit.
Najarian said that Vandross would be conscious if he were not so heavily sedated in order to keep him comfortable. He is expected to regain some consciousness over the next few days, she said.
The singer was scheduled to be the guest judge on "American Idol" on May 6.
Though that gig has been canceled, Najarian said J Records still expects to release the singer's new album, Dance With My Father, on June 10. The album features contributions from Beyoncé Knowles, Busta Rhymes, Stevie Wonder, Foxy Brown and Queen Latifah.
The title track from the album will be performed by former "American Idol" contestant Tamyra Gray on the April 28 episode of "Boston Public" (see "Method Man Has His Eyes Set On Tamrya Gray"). Najarian said that the show's creator, David E. Kelley, "fell in love with the song and built an entire episode around it."

Something in one's way
Yes, she had crossed that last hurdle of doubt.
Once past that, the last hurdle was the human wanting to be turned.
Suddenly, Hannah stopped. Kris barreled towards her. He glimpsed movement before he burst into the small clearing. It wasn't until he leapt over the final hurdle – a massive fallen tree – did he see what stopped her. One moment she stood with her back to him. The next, she was on the ground, Rhyn's dagger dripping with blood.
He suffered death in company with Thomas Winter, Rokewood and Keyes on the 31st, being drawn on a hurdle from the Tower to the Parliament House, opposite which he was executed.
The set of friends with whom he chiefly associated at Oxford were sometimes named, on account of their exceptionally decorous conduct, the "Bethel Union"; but he was by no means averse to amusements, and specially delighted in hurdle jumping and hunting.

Unity loads (only in the 12.04 betas), but is completely unresponsive.
In Ubuntu 11.10, unity does not load. Compiz crashes, and other things crash. So I am on 10.04, and will stay on that if Unity is not fixed.
I have tried both beta 1 and beta 2 of 12.04, hoping that the issue is resolved. I only got half of it...
Unity loads, but is completely unresponsive. My laptop is the Toshiba M55-S139. My graphics card is ATI Radeon Xpress 200m.
Can someone help me? I have a driver package (.bin) for the graphics card, but it is specificly for RedHat and some other distro. If someone can develop a driver for Ubuntu using that package, then good. The driver package also supports other ATI cards.
How do I attach the file via Launchpad? If I can't then I'll attach it to my SkyDrive and paste a link.
I should also note that 10.04 with GNOME 2 loads just fine, without me having to mod it in any way.

|Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90) said :
Can you please post your system specification like CPU speed, Memory etc. Probably your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for Unity.
|Michael Hazell (techman-) said :
CPU: Intel Celeron M 1.6 GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon Xpress 200m, with only 32MB of graphics memory, with 128MB of VRAM, according to the kernel boot log.
Memory/RAM: 2 GB DDR3 533 RAM.
HDD (although it is not neccessary) 80 GB
If there is anything else that needs to be provided, let me know.
And can you please tell the Ubuntu developers to include the GNOME panel as a fallback, or give you the option to install that as the default and use that when booting off of a live CD.
Maybe make a special low GPU memory version of Unity?
|Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90) said :
I think you have sufficient memory. I guess the issue is with your CPU and your GPU. Can you try using Unity-2D? It is almost similar to Unity 3D in terms of features and looks but is built differently. Unity 2-D might work on your system though I am not sure about this.
As for using Gnome Panel as a fallback, you can do it on your system. Once Unity greeter loads, press Alt+F2 to enter the virtual terminal and then install the gnome panel package. To return to the login screen press Alt+F7.
Hope this helps.
|Michael Hazell (techman-) said :
How do I get to Unity 2D?
And can you tell Canonical to include GNOME 2 in this distro release? It's not that much space on the ISO.
|Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90) said :
Gnome 2 Development has been stopped and has been removed from all distros. If you want a Gnome 2 like experience, you should try installing other desktop environments like XFCE or LXDE. You can install XFCE by typing sudo apt-get install xfce in the terminal.
As for Unity 2D, you can choose it at the login screen. To the right of your name, click the ubuntu logo. It will show you all the desktop environments currently installed on your system. Ubuntu 12.04 comes with Unity 3D and Unity 2D by default. So you can choose Unity 2D.
|Michael Hazell (techman-) said :
Thanks Nekhelesh Ramananthan, that solved my question.
