Chinese military must be absolutely loyal to the Party: Xi
Asking China`s 2.3 million strong army to take its battle readiness to a "new high", the ruling Communist Party`s leader Xi Jinping on Monday demanded absolute loyalty of the military to the Party.
Beijing: Asking China`s 2.3 million strong army to take its battle readiness to a "new high", the ruling Communist Party`s leader Xi Jinping on Monday demanded absolute loyalty of the military to the Party.
At a plenary meeting of the People`s Liberation Army, (PLA) delegation at the ongoing legislative session, Xi who is also head of China`s military, called on the armed forces to bring the country`s defence and army to new heights.
Xi said soldiers must be absolutely loyal to the Party, and maintain their "purity and reliability".
They should be at full military readiness to ensure victories in any wars, he said.
He asked the armed forces to be "absolutely loyal" to the Party, sharpen fighting capacity and abide by disciplines.
Xi, who had banned the banquets and luxury dinners for military get-togethers, said armed forces must be ruled by law to maintain the good reputation they have earned over the years.
Xi said the forces should uphold frugality and oppose extravagance and waste, so as to make full use of military spending.
Meanwhile the 268 representatives of PLA who took part in the discussion at the National People`s Congress, (NPC) held heated discussions on the subjects of the mission and tasks of the armed forces and construction of military capabilities, official media reported.
"They spoke out their common mind: Bear in mind the key point of being capable of fighting and winning battles, engage in the construction and preparation in accordance with the standards of fighting", state-run Xinhua reported.
They want to ensure that the armed forces will always be ready when called upon, be able to fight on arrival and be capable of winning battles, resolutely safeguard state sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and protect the peaceful development of the country, it said.
The PLA this year got USD 115.7 billion budget, second highest after United States. The 10.7 percent increase comes at a time the military is rapidly expanding acquiring its first aircraft carrier and new fighter jets in the midst of rising tensions over maritime disputes with Japan and host of South East Asian countries over South China Sea, besides gearing up to face US pivot to Asia-Pacific.
Unlike other militaries, PLA is part of ruling Communist Party not the government and gets chunk of representatives in 3000 strong NPC to represent its interests.
"Being able to fight and win battles is the special ability of the Chinese military," said Mo Junpeng, PLA deputy to the NPC and commander of a base under the Second Artillery Force (SAF) of the PLA.
"Our military construction is currently facing an unprecedented historical opportunity with various rigorous challenges existing at the same time."
"Since the situation is so pressing, it is necessary to build up the armed forces in accordance with the high standards of fighting," he said.

I Love It!I love having some bands like I pretty much keep to myself. It's hard for me to do sometimes because I love turning my friends on to great unheard music. But I will never forget what happened with R.E.M. One minute they were a little college rock band that only a few of us knew...

It's AwesomeI love listening to a band that no one's heard about. It makes that band seem more personal, like it's "your" band. You know all their songs by heart, and love their music, and it's almost like your own private thing. You know?

The code prevents locking around any call to a function that returns a py_iter_, and the specialization mechanism you've built would allow you to prevent locking around functions that return other types, but that's all it can do. Do you recall why you needed to avoid locking here? My guess would be that this py_iter_ calls back into python, the same situation as with overrides, below. Are there other cases where you'd want special handling? What if I wrap a function that takes a boost::python::object (ie a call back to python could happen at any time)? >>>> Would you also need to lock in e.g. object_protocol.cpp: >>>> >>>> void setattr(object const& target, object const& key, object const& value) >>>> { >>>> if (PyObject_SetAttr(target.ptr(), key.ptr(), value.ptr()) == -1) >>>> throw_error_already_set(); >>>> } >>> Maybe I am missing your point, but surely all accesses to Python must >>> hold the GIL first, not least because the GIL also specifies the >>> current interpreter to use?

For that thread, any attempt to do *anything* with python > henceforth guarantees an exception. Hrm. If I wrap a C++ base class, so that one can inherit from it in python, then you've got exactly this situation. This is a common pattern in our application, a C++ framework, configured and run by a python script, which can take C++ or python plugins. So the user runs a python script, which creates an application instance, and then tells it to load several modules, some of which are pure c++, some are python-inheriting-from-c++. The python plugins operate on objects which are, you guessed it, C++ objects wrapped in python. So you're constantly bouncing back and forth across the language barrier. Ah, now I see you come to this in your next paragraph: > Now if that C++ thread happens to want to do some work in Python, it > must hold a RAII instance of FXPython_CtxHold around the relevant > code. FXPython_CtxHold simply takes a FXPythonInterp to set as > current - this grabs the GIL and sets the current python interpreter. > > I have never been particularly happy with this solution because > excess locking is real bad for system latency i.e. when python calls > a virtual function the GIL gets unlocked, relocked, a check for a > python override is made, unlocked, jump to base class implementation, > on exit relock.

Seems to me that if one wants to claim that boost.python "supports multithreading", it needs to support this case, even if there are performance hits. I'd be interested to learn more about these hanging locks... >>> Hence it may well be that a static signals and slots implementation >>> could be more appropriate in this situation.

Anyhow, I think the user should just supply something like struct mylocker { void enterCPP(); void exitCPP(); }; boost.python would call those at the appropriate times and the user could put whatever they wanted inside those functions. I mentioned a tracing facility: maybe this interface would be more elaborate, depending on where inside boost.python these calls originate... we'll see... >> [snip] >>> In TnFOX I have a metaprogramming construct which assembles > inline a >>> jump table of specialisations of classes between which at run > time >>> can be dynamically chosen.

Yeah, ouch. :) I'll come back to this... > With > regard to implementing support for all this, could you clarify your > planned timetable with respect to your branch of Boost? Well adding enterCPP() | exitCPP() code to my branch is easy. It would go in this file: http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/straszheims-python/blobs/master/include/boost/python/detail/caller.hpp which has replaced all of the preprocessor stuff in detail/invoke.hpp. Lines 258 and 265 are where boost::fusion actually calls the registered C++ functions; you could just (un)lock around the call to go() at line 277. Then we'd have to figure out what to do about this py_iter_ stuff. Then, AFAICT we'd have in my branch exactly what your patches do to the boost.python from svn. Note: again, that code doesn't compile with MSVC, and I don't know enough about the compiler to read its mind and restructure things such that it doesn't choke... Is MSVC support a prerequisite for you to be interested in all this? -t

Born Martina Mariea Schiff on July 29, 1966, in Sharon, Kansas, Martina grew up on a dairy farm alongside two brothers and a sister. Martina became interested in country music through her father�s local band, The Schiffters. Martina eventually joined the band, playing keyboard and singing with other members of her family at local gigs around town. After graduating from high school in a class of nine students, Martina headed to a local college before realizing that she was more interested in a career in music. In 1987, Schiff met local sound engineer John McBride, and the couple became engaged shortly after meeting. They moved to Nashville in 1990 to pursue careers in music.
John found work as a member of Garth Brooks� sound crew, and Martina performed odd jobs for a while, including selling T-shirts at Garth Brooks� concerts. She finally caught the attention of Brooks in 1990, and he offered her a chance to be his opening act if she could land a recording contract. With a demo recorded by her husband, she finally signed with RCA and began touring. Her 1992 debut album, The Time Has Come, was followed by her 1993 hit album The Way That I Am. The album�s her first hit single, �My Baby Loves Me�, jumped to Number Two on the music charts, followed by �Life #9�, which also made it into the Top Ten. Her song �Independence Day�, about domestic abuse won her Video of the Year by the Country Music Association in 1994.
The next year, McBride released Wild Angels, and the title single became her first Number One single. That same year, she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. Her next album, Evolution (1997), became a Top Ten hit and a double-platinum record. It also brought McBride a string of hits, including �Valentine�, �Happy Girl�, �A Broken Wing� and �Wrong Again�. The project finally pushed McBride into the spotlight, and earned her critical acclaim; she earned her first CMA award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1999, and was selected to perform for President Bill Clinton.
She snagged her second CMA award for Best Female Vocalist in 2002, after releasing her Greatest Hits (2001) album, which included four new singles. A studio album, Martina, followed in 2003. The record�s appeal resonated with audiences in both the country and pop music genres, and landed McBride two Top Ten singles on the Adult Contemporary chart: �The One�s for the Girls� and �In My Daughter�s Eyes�. The success of the singles also caught the attention of the Academy of Country Music, who awarded her the 2003 Top Female Vocalist trophy, as well as the Country Music Association, who presented her with the Female Vocalist of the Year title. In 2005, McBride returned to a more traditional country sound with her album Timeless, which contained country cover songs. The album was a critical success, and gave McBride her highest first-week sales, ever.
Seventeen years ago, she was just one of many. A girl with the ability to sing a song like nobody�s business and the dream that people would let her do just that. As it turned out, people loved the young lady from Kansas so much that today, not only is she still doing that, she�s doing it for more people than ever before.
�What�s exciting for me is I still feel like my career is growing,� says an enthusiastic Martina. �It�s crazy, but I know from the Internet and things like that there are still people discovering my music and hearing me for the first time. It might be a new song that gets their interest. I might be singing at a football game that makes them aware of who I am or they might hear an old song on the radio. Whatever it may be, people are still discovering my music. We�re still making new fans that are coming out to see our shows that have never seen us before.� That growth is well represented on Shine (2009), Martina�s tenth studio album (all on RCA Records Nashville). Titled not only as a nod to the lyrics in three of the songs encompassed within, but because of what the word �shine� suggests - Powerful. Positive. Strong.
It�s also what she plans to do as she takes that aforementioned growth and runs with it in a variety of directions. In addition to the guitar-laden sound, Shine found Martina expanding her circle of co-producers by enlisting veteran Dann Huff to co-produce with her for the very first time. This decision brought a new perspective and, while it freed her from the minutia of production, it also afforded her the opportunity to be primarily an artist and a singer. �I felt that I wanted to move forward, production-wise, which isn�t always easy. I think it was time to find somebody with a different, fresh take on my music. I felt like I needed someone to help me do things a bit differently, and I instinctively felt Dann was right for the job.�
After two decades in the music business, Martina McBride is starting over. Now signed to Republic Nashville, with new management (Clint Higham of Morris Artists Management), a new co-producer (Byron Gallimore), newly-spotlighted songwriting skills (she penned over half the songs on Eleven (2011), her new CD), and a brand new spirit of accomplishment, Martina is swinging into high gear. And she couldn�t be more thrilled. �It really feels like starting over for me - but with a track record and with the success and experience I�ve had over the years,� she explains. �I feel more mature and more confident, which comes with knowing yourself better. And there are a lot of opportunities now that I haven�t had in a long time.�
When her longtime contract with RCA Records expired in 2010, Martina revved up for new challenges ahead. �There comes a time when you have to step back and say, I need something different,� she says. �It was a risk, but you have to do what feels right.� After weighing her options, Martina decided to join two year-old Republic Nashville, part of the Big Machine Records family of labels. �We had a couple of offers that were really great,� she notes, �but what really drew me in the end was Scott Borchetta and his reputation. When I met with him and his staff, their enthusiasm and passion for music were so evident - not only for the business but for the music. I really got the feeling that they get up every day and say, 'Wow! We get to be in the music business!� They have an innovative approach and such positive energy. It�s contagious and something I wanted to be a part of.�
It was Big Machine�s CEO Borchetta who planted the seeds for another Martina first: recording outside Nashville. �When I�m at home, I wear a lot of hats,� she says. �I get to be a musician part time, but I�m a mom first, and I only get to focus on music a few hours every day. I thought Scott showed a lot of insight when he suggested I go somewhere else to record the new CD. It was a respectful way to say, 'You need to focus on the music if this album is really important to you.�
With co-producer Byron Gallimore and a seasoned group of Nashville musicians in tow, Martina headed down to Atlanta�s Southern Tracks studio in January of 2011 to begin work on Eleven. The start of the sessions coincided with an ice storm that shut the city down. �There was nothing to do there but make music,� she laughs. �We couldn�t go shopping, we couldn�t go out to eat. Every day we�d slide across the parking lot from the hotel and work in the studio making music all day.� The singer made sure to break the studio time up with trips back to Nashville to see her daughters, but being away from home for several days at a clip let her totally focus on the recording.
Perhaps the most significant aspect of Eleven is the fact that Martin herself co-wrote six of the eleven tracks on the album, something she�s especially proud of.
�I love songwriters, and I�m not an artist who thinks I have to write everything I record. But people were encouraging me to write and songwriters seemed to want to write with me, so I just decided to really focus and see what came of it. And because of that, this record shows a lot of different sides of my personality. I think it peels back a layer and let�s people see more of my personality, especially the playful and fun side.�
As for the superstar herself, she�s frankly exhilarated by the chance to experience what she calls first-time opportunities the second time around. In a career that�s already taken her to breathtaking heights (four CMA Female Vocalist of the Year trophies, three ACM Female Vocalist awards, a Grammy win, numerous national magazine covers and features, and appearances on such shows as VH1�s �Divas,� �TODAY Show,� �20/20,� �American Idol� and �Dancing with the Stars�), Martina is ready to take it up a notch with the help of her new label.

First, why do they call it "Bridgegate?" Forty years ago Republican workers broke into Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, D.C. The office was in the Watergate building. It became a big scandal. It led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Since then, government scandals usually have the word "gate" at the end.
So what is Bridgegate? Chris Christie is the Republican governor of the state of New Jersey. After he won reelection in 2013, he was still not happy. Some Democratic mayors in the state did not support him. His staff decided to get even with one of them.
The George Washington Bridge connects New Jersey to New York City. It is the busiest bridge in the nation.
The agency that runs the bridge and closed the lanes is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Some high-level staff at the agency are loyal to Governor Christie. The agency closed the lanes.
That is the scandal known as Bridgegate. Two people are currently on trial for violating several laws. Governor Christie said he knew nothing about the lane closings. He said he "read about (the closings) in the papers."
Many people thought otherwise. Now federal prosecutors said they can prove the governor was in on the scheme.
Chris Christie ran for president in the Republican Primaries. When he realized he would not win, he supported Donald Trump. Christie thought he might be the choice for vice president. He was not. Trump said he would give him an important job.
If the government wins the case, Christie's career is over. Trump continues to stand by him. A year ago Trump said, "of course the governor knew about the lane closings."
Is all this important? Americans, like many others, love scandals. Especially when you can add, "gate" to the name. It is unusual. There is no sex or money in the scheme.
The George Washington Bridge is always crowded. It is wrong to make it even harder to cross. Add media-rich New York City to the scene. Throw in a colorful governor. Now, you have a scandal.

Critic Reviews

- Publication
- By date
Jokes like that ["You gonna go all 'Twilight' on me?"] and the wisecracking Sally occasionally threaten to turn Being Human into a mild, campy thing. As we get to know the characters, however, and begin to identify with their sense of loss and isolation, humor helps make what is preposterous about their situation seem real.
Being Human echoes, move for move, the BBC America fave of the same name. Yet, Syfy simplifies the tone into young-adult novelhood, where there's lots of white space around really big print. Subsequent episodes improve as plots thicken.
Being Human works better than it should because of skillful writing, often laced with wry humor, and the very deep well of plot possibilities in the idea that three "monsters," as they call themselves, can pass for "human."
Both "Skins" and Being Human are about outcasts who form their own families together, muddling through the present even though the future doesn't look too bright. The characters may all be extreme, but you'll identify with them all.
For fans of the original, which is only a few years old, this Americanization may be a bit like going to see a road company version of a Broadway show: It's pretty good but definitely less morose (for some viewers that will be an improvement, for others it will be a betrayal).
I liked the original and also like what little I've seen of the remake so far, but won't know until it expands beyond the original stories - as American series generally must do - whether it's worth sticking with.
Being Human isn't nearly as well done as that [AMC's "The Walking Dead"], but the early episodes are likable, if unworthy of love at first bite.
All in all it's a pretty deft mix of violence, pathos and ethos via a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost as roomies.
The ghost (Meaghan Rath), the vampire (Sam Witwer), and the werewolf (Sam Huntington) continue to work out their angst-addled yearnings to be human in this more neurotic version of the U.K. TV series.
Comparisons to the BBC show are unavoidable since the first two episodes are practically a scene-by-scene reshoot of the original's opening. The stars even look like doppelgangers of the English cast.
If all of this is new to you, the appealing mix of humor and horror may very well hook you. If you've already fallen in love with the British version, as I have, this uneven carbon copy will seem wildly unnecessary.
The three episodes I've seen felt flat and airless, outside of the performance by Sam Huntington as the werewolf.
What was a show about bickering but loving roommates is now a show about, to paraphrase Aidan's narration, living on the dark side. Unfortunately it's not a very interesting place.
Unfortunately the new version of Being Human is more repetitive, clunky and melodramatic than the previous one.
Syfy's show relies a lot more on dripping fangs and never speaks in a whisper when a bellow will do--even the simplest conversations are conducted with the neurotic intensity of a bad soap opera. Simply put, this Being Human lacks any human warmth.

Feb 9, 2011"A ghost, a vampire and a werewolf walk into a townhouse..." Yeah, that's a hard sell. Sounds more like the beginning of a joke. However,"A ghost, a vampire and a werewolf walk into a townhouse..." Yeah, that's a hard sell. Sounds more like the beginning of a joke. However, Being Human manages to pull off the difficult task of making us suspend our disbelief for an hour a week with really... human... stories. Not your usual paranormal thriller. Being Human is much more complex and more fun.
I was a fan of the BBC series, and am enjoying the SyFy version just as much. Great casting and true to the spirit of the show. If I weren't such a fan of "Sugar Rush's" Lenora Crichlow, I'd almost have to say the USA version was better. As it is, both versions are delightful.… Full Review »

Perfect Potatoes
- At October 4, 2016

There's a technique that creates a perfect potato (in my opinion) which, upon trying it, has changed the way I cook potatoes at home. It doesn't matter if it's a red potato, Yukon gold, sweet potato, yam… just start with a potato, follow my steps, and see how it turns out. I'll replicate this in future posts with different potatoes, but for this posting I had local Colorado red potatoes on hand.
First, par-boil them in salted water until a knife can pierce them without force.
Then, take them out of the water and let them sit until they're cool enough to touch. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
When a potato is par-boiled, it's not quite cooked evenly through, and you can see the difference in doneness when it's sliced in half.
For this particular evening, I sliced the almost fist-sized potatoes in half, sliced the halves, and then cut them again in half to 2-inch long pieces. You could slice them into any length or width you want, but your oven roasting time might then vary.
I tossed the potatoes with garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
After 10-15 minutes in the oven they'll be sizzling, or as I like to say, "talking to you," at which point it's OK to check to see how brown they are on the underside. When they're looking crispy, I flip them, repeat the process, and voila- a perfect potato.
They have the crust of something fried with the creamy interior of a french fry done correctly, yet are tossed in just a few tablespoons of olive oil. They're not just a guilty pleasure of mine, but something I'm really proud of figuring out while chef's out working and I'm preparing dinner.

Yes we're having the original version of the "philcooper.com" site duplicated with a few improvements that I'm sure you'll like. I've heard from a bunch of people over the past year about how well they liked the old site and how easy it was to use and Navigate so I listened and it should be up and running within the next few days, we'll send out a subscriber list email when it goes live.
I'm sorry but I can't resist saying this, it didn't cost 600 Million to have it built and yes it will work!

I have to go on record as saying that I really, really don't like the Weight Watchers Core Plan. This is the second time I've tried it. Last time I remember my stomach getting really upset because I tried to fill up on proteins and ended up eating a lot more meat and eggs than usual.
I had a few things I had to count earlier today so I wanted to have a completely Core dinner, but unfortunately, my husband and I had sort of a communication mixup. He had said he was going to make dinner, but he forgot. I hadn't planned anything either. We were going to make some brown rice and a shrimp stir-fry, because we had some frozen shrimp that could be quick-thawed in the sink, but apparently our brown rice had been sitting around too long, because I noticed a little bug that looked just like a rice grain in it. Ugh. That turned me off cooking any other grains until I go through the pantry and throw out anything that might have been there a while. I tend to get this inspiration that I'm going to eat more whole grains, buy a bunch of stuff, and then get lazy and not make them.
With a few exceptions, Core foods are not quick-cooking foods, so you have to plan ahead to do this plan. We ended up just going out and I had a soup and a salad, then had some air-popped popcorn later. As soon as this week is over, I'm going back to the Flex plan for good. It's just easier with my lifestyle. Kudos to anyone who does the Kay Sheppard plan, which is similar to Core except even more restrictive.
Part of the reason I wanted to do Core at all -- well, to be honest, pretty much the only reason -- is that I knew I had gained after last week and wanted to lose it quickly and figured a more restrictive plan would help. I was right about the gain (3 pounds) but kind of deceiving myself about how well I'd be able to stick to a more restrictive plan. I am going to stick it out the best I can for the rest of this week.
I did find my meeting really inspiring today. There were about 5 or 6 new members today and they seemed really jazzed about starting. And Weight Watchers really is a good program, really simple to learn and follow -- well, at least the Flex Plan. One good thing about my little experiment is that it is making Flex look easy.

I've been thinking about looking for some 1 or 5 point meals to make for myself to jump start things more. I'm okay with how I'm doing with exercise but I think I can do better.ReplyDelete
I think you really didn't do that badly with Core considering that meals & things got changed at the last minutes.

Pulsation dampeners are often necessary for multi-plunger high pressure reciprocating pumps which produce damaging levels of pulsation and vibration. These forces can be significantly reduced by the Flo-Dyne non-charged maintenance-free pulsation dampener which is completely filled with the pumped liquid. Our unique spherical in-line design results in optimized low weight and cost and is ideal where rubber bladder or metallic diaphragm types cannot be applied.
Liquid filled pulsation dampeners work due to two crucial features of the design.
The volume is selected by Flo-Dyne to provide sufficient bulk so that when each plunger discharges its slug of liquid the compressibility of the liquid will absorb a proportion of the pulsation energy. The volume of the dampener must be chosen to be massive compared to the slug of liquid discharged by each plunger on each stroke, and not too large as to be uneconomical for manufacture.
Where required we can offer discharge pulsation dampeners that work upon this feature of compressibility of the volume alone, however such dampeners tend to be both massive
and expensive.
Pressure drop
Every Flo-Dyne's liquid filled pulsation dampener has inlet / outlet nozzles which impose a back pressure onto the pump. It is well known that pressure drop alone will reduce pulsation levels, however, Flo-Dyne's proven arrangement will both impose a pressure drop as well as impart a rotational velocity to the liquid volume creating a fluid flywheel. This arrangement improves on simple single orifice type arrangements and introduces the added benefit of flywheel smoothing as well as energy absorbtion due to increased friction losses at the walls of the equipment that simply are not there with simple flow through designs.
Proven Design
The Flo-Dyne liquid filled pulsation dampener is a proven design which has been keeping reciprocating pumps running smoothly for over 40 years.
The equipment is fit and forget, it is maintenance free with no moving parts and may be permanently welded into the line. Typically the dampener will reduce discharge pressure pulses by 75% depending on the type of pump, connected piping system and liquid handled.
Carbon steel construction is standard, but other materials such as 304/316 stainless steel, duplex or super duplex steels are available for pressures ranging from 50 Bar G to 400 Bar G as standard.
Units can be built to all British, European, American and Indian pressure vessel codes.
All pressure equipment can be CE marked to comply with the European Pressure Equipment Directive requirements.
Fluids handled are:
Hot oils

Yesterday, the Florida Times Union reported on the implementation of a new discharge intervention at St. Vincent's HealthCare. The intervention, which includes an educational component for patients in the health system, utilizes follow-up phone calls and care in an effort to reduce readmission rates among high risk patients. The intervention also includes a dedicated nurse practitioner who provides transitional care for heart failure patients, which includes home visits and follow-up calls as previously noted.

(of course) So, she decided on her own to set her alarm for 5:30 to work on it. When I got up at 5:45 to start my day, I go into her room to see if things are going ok, and what is she doing? Putting on her makeup and fussing with her face. REALLY?? I just decided to get ready first. UH? How about you do the project first and then with whatever time you have left you get ready? See, I do not know about the rest of you, but my difficult child will use all of the time +5 more minutes just to get ready. No matter if it is 20 minutes or an hour and a half. So, it will be time to go, and she will not have done any of the work. And it is stressing me out beyond belief to just sit down here and say nothing. Oh calgon take me away.

Battling Agendas: Opportunity or Distraction?
John Piper said:
"The world sets the agenda for the professional man; God sets the agenda of the spiritual man."
I've been thinking on this much lately. "Lately" meaning for over a year.
One of my goals — Have you noticed that people only talk about resolutions in January? I like the term "goals" better. Resolutions provide too much guilt when you miss the mark, but goals seem to encourage lasting growth. Or maybe my choice of semantics simply reflects (and justifies) anticipated failure. Oh, that could be a whole blog post of pontifications, don't you think?
Aside from attempting to stop interrupting myself with random tangents and other frequent exhibitions of ADD tendencies, one of my goals for 2011 is to be more intentional. (How's that for a perfectly vague aspiration?) To be more specific, one aspect of this is to focus more on my writing by pursuing additional avenues of publication.
As a side note (Doesn't "side note" sound better than "tangent?" It's almost intentional, right?) — As a side note, whenever I set this goal, my blogging frequency drops off. I started blogging as an intentional practice for my writing, but four-plus years later, the practice has morphed into a form of procrastination. The two, while intended to be cooperative, seem to possess an inverse relationship. The more I blog, the less I write. The more I write, the less I blog.
But my goal extends beyond the realm of writing. I want to be intentional with my projects, yet, but also with my time, my energy, what I teach my kids and how I interact with others. Basically, I want to think more about what I'm doing and why. I want to be focused. The problem is that I'm not sure precisely where that focus needs to be.
Too often I fall into the easy rut of seeking a lifelong mission, a purpose toward which all my daily dealings point. However, (and I've blogged about this before) I believe the Christian life is more about daily living and less about grandiose plans. I believe knowing God is the objective of life and the daily doings are the means by which we achieve that objective. I believe those daily doings can add up to a grandiose plan, but I believe the orchestration of that plan is God's responsibility, not ours. Our responsibilities lie solely on the small, seemingly mundane, one-day-at-a-time acts of obedience.
I fear that when I seek to fulfill the grandiose plan on my own, I lose all proper focus. Roles are transposed. Instead of feeding God's glory and accepting His sovereign role in the universe, I feed my personal pride and inflated sense of worth. I take matters into my own hands rather than trusting Him fully. When striving to produce my "big picture," I too often follow the world's agenda.
As should be expected, the more I seek focus, the more distractions come my way. Orders are stacking high for my book purse business, I've received surprising opportunities to write and have even gained new editing projects. Are these distractions or opportunities? Is it God's divine direction or is it the world trying to keep me from following His agenda?
Here are a few tips toward knowing the difference. If you face similar uncertainties, ask yourself these questions.
Does it glorify God? This is the most important question. If it dishonors Him, if it goes against Scripture, you need to stop immediately and run in the opposite direction. Remember Joseph's famous flee? Do likewise!
On the flip-side, this doesn't mean that every hobby, every word, every action must blatantly point to God, but rather that whatever you do, you do it with an attitude that honors Him. See 1 Corinthians 10:31.
Does it utilize your gifts? God has given us all talents and gifts, both spiritual and physical. We need to use them! I'm not a fan of tests and classifications of gifts. I feel those lead to over-analysis. God is passionate and natural, and He made us in His image. I firmly believe that God not only gives us gifts, but He also gives us a passion to use those gifts. Is there something you really love to do? Something that comes naturally to you? Chances are your gift lies somewhere near that.
Does it show love to others? The entire Bible is saturated with the importance of love. We must love God first and love our neighbors second. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us that no matter how great our gifts may be, if we do not possess love, our gifts are useless. Not just useless, but annoying.
Does it pull you away from previous commitments? Remember the guy who started building a tower and then ran out of money? (Luke 14) Everyone laughed at him, called him a fool. You know what else? I bet no one ever hired him to build another tower. God is eternally faithful, dependable. If we aspire to be like Him, we must try our best to reflect those characteristics. If you said you're going to do something, do it. Complete the job before moving on to something new.
Your turn! How do you decide if something is an opportunity or a distraction?

School Partnerships
DCYOP partners with schools to support in and out-of-school time orchestra programs including the Children's Orchestra and PreOrchestra Project. Through partnership, these programs are offered at no cost to participating students.
Children's Orchestra
The Children's Orchestra is an after school string orchestra program that aims to enhance DC Public School students' interest in learning and improve their academic and social skills through quality, accessible and intensive classical music education. The Children's Orchestra is inspired by El Sistema, Venezuela's national youth orchestra and choir program that uses music as an agent for social change.
The Children's Orchestra is currently housed at Garrison Elementary (ward 2) and Turner Elementary (ward 8) and is free for all students. Student musicians attend orchestra rehearsals and group lessons for six hours each week after school. Working together in an ensemble, students learn valuable social skills such as confidence, compromise and mutual respect.
Importantly, students also learn that through discipline, rigor, and focus, they are able to achieve success. In time, the students will learn to transfer these skills to other areas of their school experience.
PreOrchestra Project
With the support of the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation through the League of American Orchestras, this past spring, DCYOP partnered with DC Public Schools (DCPS) and the Batuta Foundation to develop an early childhood pre-orchestra curriculum that enhances the social and emotional development of children ages 3-5 while preparing them to learn a musical instrument. The curriculum was piloted in Maury (ward 6) and Patterson Elementary Schools (ward 8) in May 2015 and will be expanded to more students beginning fall 2015.
For more information on our school partnerships, please email email@example.com

p.s. about the k/d 20 guy, i wonder how he managed to escape the bad-spawn-system-killer...or maybe he and him are one and the same person^^
TwistorNation wrote:
The highest K/D on record broken by XxBonavaxX13 had an amazing K/D. 21.83! Thats well over what can be believed.
And I sure hope you don't believe it.
I know for it would mean they go either 21/0 every match.. or 22/1 every match.. and with how spawns were, lag, the under map glitches. I seriously doubt it is legit.
i think kd is a good indicator of whether or not you are a good player, but does not necessarily mean you are a good player. it is the most useful stat that is displayed on the cod screen.
example of a hypothetical player that i would not want on my team: Player A gets 2 kills per game on average. after 10 games player A experiences one death on average. this is a 20kd player, but he only contributes 2 kills toward the goal of 75 in a tdm game mode.
example of a hypothetical player i would want on my team: Player B gets 20 kills per game on average. Experiences 10 deaths per game on average. This player only has a kd of 2.0, but contributes 20 kills while only costing his team 10 kills.
Player B would be much more valuable to me when it comes to winning a game of tdm. i would say for tdm a kill differential per game is a more accurate stat. player A would have a kill differential per game of 2, and player b would have a kill differential per game of 10. ((number of kills-number of deaths)/number of games) = kill differential per game.
Well I rather like the W/L ratio, I like to win, not to dominate the match. In TDM as example I'm getting good K/D ratios usually, in SnD or Blitz i'm usually getting a 1.x or higher ratio.
It's a good feeling winning a match against some 2k/d players.
Your premise is off:

But, how can it determine skill?
This is the problem right there:
1 - why should one be trying to show skill
2 - why should one be trying to determine skill
3 - wait for it...
Why do people think there is such a thing as "skill" in a video game?
Sure some people are better at playing the game than others, and yes the best of the best can make money doing so... but if said skill cannot be applied to real life endeavors, said skill is fundamentally useless.
The next comment is not meant as a direct insult to anyone, but think about it for a moment: If your greatest demonstration of your prowess is playing a video game... it is time to grow up get one's priorities straight (this comment is obviously not inttended for someone who has not reached an age that can get a f****ing job*!)
/rant (please appreciate the level of seriousness, and sarcasm, for what it is)
* even one who is disabled can do stuff to help someone else, even if only at home.
i believe there is a truth to KD it does tell players how well that player with a high KD can kill and stay alive, which is the point of it. it doesnt mean they win all the time, or have bad games. so no i dont feel its a deciding factor on how good a player is.. if i saw 23.whatever KD i would think first MOD.. there is no way someone can stay alive to get 23kills before they die on average consistently.. not with all the b.s. in the game
i am a few good games away from 5.0 kd and it isnt easy to achieve, so a 23kd? no not buying it
I have a horrendous KD, last time I checked it was .75 lol yeah terrible. However I play a lot of blitz and always play the objective, I average over 6 caps per game and my ranking is around 3300. If you judged me by my kd you would think I was a terrible player.
* slow clap *
If I judged by KD, I agree I would not want to play with you.
If I was building a team of Blitz players, you would be at the top of the picks.
Which is more important? Some have this backwards.
Bravo to you.
Thanks for the compliments Rlbl and Bielsalmighty! My cap average would be higher if I wasn't playing with randoms so often, Im in a clan but they aren't always online when I am thats just the nature of life I guess. I run an FP6 (gold ) fore grip and muzzle break along with a throwing knife Perks: light weight, marathon, blast shield, dead silence, ready up, and takedown.
The idea here is ohk weapons, stealth & speed . Since your rushing and silent you will get very close to people, the fp6 is almost always ohk up close. The knife is a great silent ohk. Blast shield defends you from all the explosives around the goal/ objective. ready up is super important with the shotty as your hip firing frequently. Takedown is recommended because you don't want the enemy to know where your doing your dirty work. I also use a headset.
there is a lot more too it also like flank routes & tactics etc.
If Im on a team that communicates and has structure then everyone gets what they want. Loads of kills and killstreaks for the defensive/mid players, a win, and whoever runs with me will certainly get caps too as I am willing to be a decoy for the team so we can all have fun.
This especially runs true after halftime and makes for an awesome second half. Lets say we are ahead by a long shot, then the only way for the opposition to win is to score, that means many players loosing their cool and rushing our goal that = kills.
Often ill take it to 15 caps and my teammates just beast on opposing team so the "killers" can have their fun
I'm always looking to run with people so feel free to add me as a friend to your ps4 account. My name is the same 'squarefodder'

Ashley Cole has revealed that he is hoping to see Chelsea sign Southampton defender Luke Shaw.
The Blues have been linked with a £20m move for Saints youngster after watching him impress for Mauricio Pochettino's side this season.
Despite, Shaw playing in Cole's position of left-back, the former Arsenal man has said that he would welcome the arrival of the 18-year-old.
Asked by a user on Twitter how it felt to see his club linked with a high-profile move for Shaw, the England left-back tweeted: "hope to see him there to be honest".
The post earned 461 retweets and 283 favourites.
Cole himself has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge after falling down the pecking order.
Jose Mourinho has preferred to field Cesar Azpilicueta in the left-back spot this season, and Tottenham and Liverpool are reportedly interested in the 33-year-old.

The dealers know the BUZZ going on right now and as business operators,..........will capitalize on every BUZZ period taking place....including this one which may very well be the LAST ONE!!! THANK GOD!!!

If I was a dealer I might be looking for some relatives to buy dinar at the last minute! Just saying I think there is always a way. Haha!
1/31/2013 11:56:28 am
Bring it home Flashing! Appreciate you.
1/31/2013 01:29:38 pm
most dealers have their dinar on consignment, meaning they don't own it, if not sold they give it back. Just like new car dealers.
1/31/2013 03:05:28 pm
are you guys saying that part or chapter 7 was released today for them to get that money released
1/31/2013 03:21:44 pm
They don't have the funds yet. Its in US DFI. Won't be released til ch7 done. My understanding.
1/31/2013 03:30:55 pm
The CNBC link does NOT say to invest in the dinar, it says Iraq is more stable than most people think and to invest in Iraqi sovreign debt bonds.

What would be a Freudian interpretation of Nora in A Doll's House?
Nora is "possessed" by both her husband and her father. It appears that her failure in marriage is a subconscious attempt to continue the father-daughter relationship.
- print Print
- list Cite
The relationship between Nora and Helmer is nearly explicitly paternal. This can certainly be related to the notion of Freud's "Electra complex" wherein the daughter seeks a romantic affiliation with the father figure (and engages in competition with the mother figure).
In Act I, Nora is little more than a child playing a role; she is a "doll" occupying a doll's house, a child who has exchanged a father for a husband without changing or maturing in any way.
At the close of the play, however, Nora finds a way to break free from (to subvert) this Electra complex.
We might read her initial desire to both please and be saved by her husband as a neurotic extension of her natural, healthy psychological impulses regarding her father figure. The transference of this neurosis from her father to Torvald Helmer is, essentially, the nature of her psychological conflict. She must find a way to overcome the unhealthy exaggeration of her feelings toward the father figure.
Importantly, Nora becomes aware of this dynamic. She consciously connects her husband to her father and recognizes the pattern of behavior in which they (and she) have stunted her development into an adult identity. She chooses at this point to take positive action, to become assertive, and to break away from the paternal bond that has been the subject of her neurosis.
We see the nature of her decision expressly stated in her confrontation with Torvald in the play's final act.
Helmer: Before anything else, you're a wife and mother.
Nora: I don't believe that any more. I believe that before anything else, I'm a human being, just as much a one as you are … or at least I'm going to turn myself into one.… I want to think everything out for myself and make my own decisions.

Are there leeches in Munnar in October month?
I'm not sure about Munnar specifically, but leeches in the Western Ghats come with the rain. The monsoon season usually runs through around September. If you're planning to walk in the woods or through tea planatations, you'll probably see some.
There's a regionally made stuff (it's kind of a disgusting-looking and -smelling paste, not sure what it's called, but someone there will know) that repels them. Use it with high-DEET-concentration bug spray on your legs (past the knee), socks, and shoes, and you should be pretty safe from them.
You probably wouldn't even notice being bitten until they were done and gone. It's medically a problem if your blood doesn't clot normally or you don't clean the wound well - but the real problem is that the idea of being bitten is so revolting. Do what you can to prevent them, but don't worry too much, and bring some bandages. That area is too beautiful to spend your time stressing out about leeches!
Unfortunately Munnar treks and tea plantation zones are overflowing with leeches. However it's not that bad in Munnar town. Inside your home stay/hotel leeches won't be a problem as such.
One needs to be careful on days when it has rained a lot and the whole path is muddy that's when Munnar is a proper breeding ground for leeches.
If you are a nature lover you'll enjoy walking/trekking through the forests of Munnar. But watch out for leeches especially in warm damp weather.
On being bitten by a leech - clean the area using soap and water. Dry it and apply a disinfectant. Use a bandage if need be.
Have a great trip to Munnar. Here's your handy travel guide to the place - ixigo.com/travel-guide/munna...
If you use leech socks you can protect your feet. I have been doing a lot of trekking and getting less bites after I got a pair of leech socks. All other methods do have many disadvantages.

Announcements / Notes on the Skyspace reopening - by Kimberly Nelson
Notes on the Skyspace reopening - by Kimberly Nelson
When the Skyspace reopened in our Meetinghouse recently, I thought of architect James Turrell's words during a PBS interview in regard to his work: "I'm interested in having a light that inhabits space," he said, "so that you feel light to be physically present."
Our present Meetinghouse was built before I began attending, but I've heard people talk about the challenges in the building process, reminiscent of birth pangs. I imagine when the SkySpace first opened, it was like the birth of a long-awaited child. It brought us joy for a number of years as a work of art, a perceptual gateway into the stillness that is so central to the Quaker experience. (In fact, my first introduction to LOFM was meditating while viewing the Skyspace.) But then it became apparent that this "child" was "injured" – the Skyspace had sustained damage and needed repairs. When it reopened, it was as though a precious child had experienced long, painful rehabilitation and was returned to us, whole and reborn. What joy and relief!
The Skyspace creates a space of such surreal beauty that I always welcome the sight of the occasional bird, which anchors the physical reality for me. But then, without that anchor, perhaps it is easier to transcend thought, the noisy kind of thought that interferes with stillness. The Skyspace at sunset reminds me that change is the only constant. When I'm looking through it, if there are no clouds, the color changes are so gradual as to be imperceptible from moment to moment, and only become apparent after a few minutes' gazing.
I looked and looked. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for this magnificent expression of Turrell's vision and that of many others who worked to make it manifest. As I experienced the Presence of the Light, tears welled up and overflowed.

When you have surgery, you know that there will be an open wound. Even after stitches are in place, there is a potential for the wound to reopen or to get infected. Fortunately, most people don't have to worry about serious infections, because they avoid the bacteria that would cause them.
New York: Medical malpractice ranking and statistics
Living in New York, there's a possibility that you'll need medical care at some point in your life. One thing you might be worried about is the likelihood of medical malpractice. Fortunately, there is data that can help put your mind at ease.
One-time doctor convicted of malpractice aims to practice again
How would you feel if you found out that the person performing medical procedures on you had been accused and convicted of medical malpractice in the past? What would you say if you found out that the doctor had changed his name and performed services he was no longer able to perform?
Are medical errors really the third-leading cause of death?
Medical errors aren't just little things like forgetting to check on a patient. They can be serious and cause permanent injuries or death. It's vital for nurses, doctors and other medical professionals to be at their best at all times and to make sure they give their full attention to each patient they see.
This rare disorder must be diagnosed as soon as possible
A rare infant seizure disorder is often hard to diagnose, but if it's not caught, it can cause devastating consequences. It's a rare form of epilepsy that can cause major health consequences to these children.
You can pursue compensation for a breach of confidence
A breach of doctor-patient confidentiality is its own kind of negligence. Whether or not it hurts a patient directly, it's expected that doctors will respect the privacy of their patients. Telling someone about a patient's welfare can impact him or her, whether it leads to termination at a job or difficulties between family and friends. Doctors have access to patient financials as well as medical conditions, both of which are protected under law.
Man loses leg, claims hospital was negligent in lawsuit
When time is of the essence, any delay in medical treatment can mean a worsening prognosis. If you face delays when your blood supply is cut off to a limb, it could mean amputation or worse, just like this man's case.
Death of Joan Rivers: Doctors take responsibility
Anyone who loses a loved one after a routine medical procedure may have questions about what went wrong. Sometimes, there was no way that a doctor could know that the patient would struggle with anesthesia or other conditions during surgery. However, in many cases, mistakes that are made can lead to life-threatening conditions or even the death of a patient under the medical team's care.
You can seek compensation after suffering medical negligence
Medical malpractice cases form in the most dire of circumstances; a patient suffered an injury because a doctor performed the wrong surgery, a baby suffered brain damage because an OB-GYN didn't recognize signs of trouble, or a patient suffers a life-altering infection because of improper sanitation in the hospital. All of these situations could be like one that causes you to suffer an injury. When you do, it's important to know that you do have the right to seek out compensation.
The high personal and financial costs associated with medical mistakes
Medical doctors are among the most respected and trusted of all professionals. Every year, millions of Americans seek medical advice and entrust their health and very lives to doctors who they rely upon to provide a correct diagnosis and effective treatment plan. Unfortunately, while doctors are highly educated and trained, they are not infallible and this fact is evidenced by the estimated 210,000 to 440,000 patients in the U.S. who die annually due to medical mistakes.
