UPDATE TO GUIDE (9/13/17): An updated and more detailed guide has been created for how to get your Ohio contractor license.
Are you considering a contractor's business in Ohio? Then you should keep in mind that contractor licensing in Ohio has some specificities and differences from other states. To be well prepared, read on for some useful tips on how to get your license.
Unlike many other states, Ohio does not require general contractors to get a license. This applies both for residential and commercial construction. However, a license is required for some specialty contractors. Namely:
Electrical contractors
HVAC contractors
Hydronics contractors
Plumbing contractors
Refrigeration contractors
General contractors, though, might need to get registered or licensed with the local administration in their county or city. Often, there are specific requirements that they need to meet depending on where they're based.
The basics of your Ohio contractor's license
If you are working in one of the five commercial specialty contractors' fields that need an Ohio contractor's license, then you have to go through the licensing process outlined by the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (OCILB).
The conditions for obtaining a license include experience in the specialty for five years as a tradesperson, for three years as a registered engineer, or for three years as a business person. You also need to get liability insurance for $500,000, and undergo a criminal background check. You can find all the details about these requirements on the OCILB's website.
You will have to pass an examination in the specialty for which you would like to get licensed, plus a general Business and Law exam. The test application package has to be filled out and notarized and should be submitted along with a $25 non-refundable fee. On the OCILB's website you can review the testing materials for each specialty and for the Business and Law exam.
If you are a general contractor based in Ohio, then you will have to individually check the requirements of the city and county in which you want to operate. It is likely that you will have to get a local license or permit. The usual process includes completing an application form, posting a contractor license bond and obtaining liability insurance.
Getting bonded
While there is no requirement for specialty contractors licensed by the OCILB to post a contractor's license bond, such a bond might be required of general contractors by local authorities.
In case you do need to post a contractor license bond, you need to check the amount with the county or city administration requiring it. Remember, though, that you need to pay only a percentage of the bonding amount. This is called the bond premium.
There are other cases in which you might also need to get surety bonds. If you are bidding on public projects, for instance, you will be required to post bid bonds and performance and payment bonds. These contract bonds are project-specific.
As a general reminder, the surety bond is not a protection for your business like insurance is. It is a guarantee that your contractor business will follow the rules and regulations of the state or local authority. Thus, the bond is a safety net for the general public that might engage your services.
Whichever bond you need, you can apply online and get a quote instantly, so that you can quickly satisfy the bonding requirement.
Get started today
Once you have identified and acquired the specific bonds required by local authorities in Ohio or by the public projects on which you are bidding, you can safely start your business operations. If you would like more clarification about these bonds, make sure to contact us.

Obama Awarding Medal of Honor To Afghan War Veteran
President Barack Obama is awarding the country's highest military honor to a former army captain who tackled a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan in August 2012.
Florent Groberg is being credited with saving the lives of fellow soldiers' lives with his actions.
He was also badly injured in the attack, which killed four people.
The 32-year-old Groberg has spent nearly three years recovering at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The November 12 ceremony at the White House will mark only the 10th time that a living service member has received the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Seven soldiers have been posthumously awarded the medal.
Groberg was born in Poissy, France, in 1983.
He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2001, the same year he graduated from high school in the state of Maryland.

The same for spells as spells are similar to prayers (not saying there the same)

Exercise The Right Way - The Crunch
Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders' training regimes.
It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.
In this article we'll take a close look at the crunch.
MUSCLES TARGETED: rectus abdominis
Assume a supine position on the floor.
Flex the neck to move the chin to the chest.
Allow the torso to uncurl, then the neck to extend back to the starting position.
Richard Mitchell is the creator of the bodybuildingadvisor.com website that provides guidance and information to athletes at all levels of bodybuilding experience. Go to Bodybuilding Exercises to learn more about the issues covered in this article.
Building Better Biceps
Two of the nine pivot points - those stunning body parts located precisely where they attract the most attention - are the lower biceps and long head of the triceps. When fully developed, these muscles lend a mystical beauty to the physique that size alone can't.
Clothes and Shoes and Stretching
Now that we have a trainer, our next concern is to be equipped with the proper shoes and clothes, so our training experience can be maximized.If your trying to create a great body you need to start with clothes and shoes that will make you feel good as well as look good! {The reason behind that is if you look and feel good you will tend to be in a motivated state of mind, and in this state we build consistency, this is where results come from.
Follow the Path of MOST Resistance! Why Weight Training Is The Fast Track To Sculpting Your Body
Resistance is NOT futile! When it comes to changing your body for the better quickly and permanently, nothing comes close to good old-fashioned weight training.The shape of your body is determined by three things: muscle, bone and fat.
Most Amazing (and Ridiculously Simple) Trick For Stiff-Legged Deadlifts You Will Ever Read In Your L
The stiff-legged deadlift is one of the best exercises you can do for your hamstrings. The only problem is, it can also be one the hardest exercises to perform properly.
Machine Exercises That Suit Beginners
The aim for beginners to weight training must be to lay the foundations for the intensive workouts that their bodies will eventually be subjected to. Obviously successful bodybuilding involves bringing together disparate elements such as nutrition and rest but choosing the right exercises is crucial.
Make Sure To Rest For Muscle Growth
One of the best pieces of exercise advice is to make sure you know that your muscles grow when your resting not training. That's right, you don't actually get bigger and stronger when you're in the gym.
Muscle And Fitness -- The Third and Final Key To Successfully Achieving Your Fitness Goals
Before delving into Muscle And Fitness - The Second Key, the final and most important key to success in your muscle and fitness routine, I'd like to remind you about what the previous article discussed.In a previous article, you were given a number of steps to follow.
Muscle Building Workout For This Week!
As experts says, "NO PAIN, NO GAIN." This specially applies to Muscle Building.
Body Part Isolation vs. Complex Movements in Strength Training - Build Real Muscle Instead of Fake!
Working as a fitness professional, there is one type of question I get all the time that shows that many people are missing the big picture regarding the benefits of strength training. This popular question usually goes something like this:"What exercise can I do to isolate my _______ (insert your muscle of choice - abs, quads, biceps, triceps, etc)?"It doesn't matter which muscle someone is asking about, they always seem to be asking how to 'isolate' it.
Back Exercises For Beginning Bodybuilders
From a bodybuilder's perspective one of the most important body areas is the back. Not only can it be visually impressive but a strong back is essential for intensive training and day to day living.
Build Muscle and Boost Your Training Intensity Now
Build Muscle with a unilateral weight training program.

Obviously successful bodybuilding involves bringing together disparate elements such as nutrition and rest but choosing the right exercises is crucial.
Muscle and Fitness -- The First Key To Achieving Your Goals
Lets discuss what I term as Muscle and Fitness -- The First Key.In a previous article, I went through the 'Three Keys To Success' in any muscle and fitness regime that you use.
Planting And Nurturing Your Contacts And Resources
The success level of your bodybuilding endeavors is highly determined by the contacts and resources that you posses and have access to, as well as these that you can offer to the world of bodybuilding.Success is achieved through desire dedication, effort, simplicity, and consistency.
The Role Of Repetitions In Your Muscle Building Program
Repetitions are the basic building blocks of any strength or muscle building program but it is something that many lifters take for granted. How often do you see people at the gym speed through their reps, breathe haphazardly or fail to complete each rep correctly from a technical perspective? There is much more to the simple rep than meets the eye.
Always Shock Your Muscles For Maximum Growth
Always try to "trick" your muscles into growth. You never want to do the same exercises, reps and sets for each and every workout.
Use This Quick Muscle Building Program for Fast Results
Quick muscle building is the goal of every underweight guy who hits the gym and embarks on a weight training program for the first time. After all, who wants to wait years for the results?There are weight training routines designed specifically for muscle building that will have you gaining pounds of muscle mass in a short period of time.
Welcome Back Everyone!
Ah summer time, it's one of my favorite seasons and it has everything to do with free time, sun and surf. Activities like volleyball, tennis, soccer, swimming, surfing, sprinting after curious children, playing frisbee with the dog, walking a mile to get a frozen yogurt or to find that lost flipper on the beach take precedence.
Build More Muscle and Lose More Fat by Discovering the Power of Training Variables!
Everyone will inadvertently hit a frustrating plateau in their training at one time or another. You're cruising along for a while, gaining strength, losing fat, looking better, and then all of the sudden it hits.

You seem to be saying that people can disagree about facts but they have to agree about the objects that the facts are 'about'. That's not a viable distinction to make, though. If you allow them to disagree, then one of the ways they can disagree is about what they are talking about. Suppose for example one of them asserts that A=B and the other one disagrees; he thinks that A=/=B. They can't possibly be agreeing about what they are talking about, since one of them sees two things where the other only sees one thing. Whatever the second guy is talking about, it can't possibly be what the first one was talking about. (Equality is the meat and potatoes of OWL-style reasoning, so this isn't an arcane distinction, it arises all the time. ) If you start getting persnickety about criteria of identity then it gets harder and harder to establish agreement about what we are talking about, eg. for some purposes it makes sense to think of Pat-yesterday as a distinct thing from Pat-today. So is there one of me, or two of me, or approximately 21,000 of me? A good answer to questions like this is 'yes'. Fighting over which view is 'right', or which one has to be declared globally correct, is just going to lead to endless pointless quarrels. As long as we can understand one another, as long as what we say to one another can be understood in either way, we can get along. Say some RDF triples store somewhere is keeping track of my movements and it has things in it like ex:thing3246 ex:agent http://www.coginst.uwf.edu/~phayes . ex:thing3246 daml:timeOf "1100SCT05082003-1100SCT05092003"^^ex:UStimeInterval then there really is no need for you and I and the rest of the world to come to some global agreement that these ex:thing URIs must be understood to denote time-slices of people, or must denote people who endure for a time but retain their identity (believe it or not, this issue is one that blood has been spilt over, books written to refute other books, people yelling in the corridors, etc. etc.. There are deployed ontology standards in industrial use which take divergent views on it.) You can think of them your way and I can think of them my way: and you know what, as long as we avoid trying to decide who is right, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference to anything. We can communicate perfectly well, because everything that you say translates smoothly into my way of thinking and vice versa. What we actually say to one another can be interpreted in two different ways, as talking about different kinds of thing, and that's fine. >Rather, if there is to be disagreement, if assertions are to be >incompatible, then it must be the case that they are about the >same thing. In a sense that is true, but in that sense there is no need to do anything about it. Just the use of a common language (in our case, using the same URIs) is enough to establish that the different uses are about the same thing in this sense, ie whatever they are about, they are both about it, whatever it is, simply virtue of being tokens of the same symbol, and the fact that the semantics is attached to the symbol rather than the token. Of course, what you THINK it is about might not line up exactly with what I THINK it is about, but as long as what we SAY doesn't actually violate any of these extra hidden assumptions, we will be OK. >What is harmful to the SW is when folks make assertions which >appear to be about the same thing, but are not. There is no way to do that on the SW or the Web. The assertions are about whatever they turn out to be about when we have got enough of them all together to try to pin down the referent, if we ever feel a need to. Someone might have one thing in mind when they use a URI, but what they actually *say* is whatever is said by using that URI. What they have in mind doesn't get transmitted by HTTP, so it is kind of irrelevant, seems to me. It has the same relationship to what actually gets said as what you hoped the code would do has to what the code actually does.

MADISON, Wis.—A Democratic bill that would allow more than 750,000 residents to refinance student loans received strong support during a hearing, but its chances for passage are uncertain with one top Republican lawmaker expressing doubts about it.
The bill would allow borrowers to refinance loans at lower interest rates and deduct up to $6,500 annually on state income tax returns, Wisconsin State Journal reported ( http://bit.ly/1b595Rb) Thursday.
The bill's sponsors, Sen. Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, and Rep. Cory Mason, D-Racine, said student debt hurts the state economy by hampering car and home buying.
"We're promoting the brain gain as opposed to the brain drain," Hansen said.
Hansen said the first-of-its-kind bill would encourage students to stay in Wisconsin upon graduation.
Jennifer Hussli, a family practice doctor in Janesville, said at the hearing that she and her husband spend $20,000 annually on student loan interest.
"Considering this bill is critical at this time," Hussli said.
Another student said the cost of added student loan debt made her reconsider going to law school.
Hansen's bill would create the Wisconsin Student Loan Refinancing Authority, a group that would be similar to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority.
But John Reinemann, an executive secretary with the Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board, said while he likes some aspects of the bill, he's concerned the bill would promote higher borrowing for college.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said he has doubts about the bill too.
Fitzgerald said his caucus is considering multiple bills on student loan debt, but that Hansen and Mason's so-called "Higher Ed, Lower Debt" bill would "probably not" be successful.

"Avoiding" should mean "not requiring". If mutex_owned() is used to avoid locking of already held lock, then you are basically implementing the idea of recursive mutex, just in a higher layer. In other words, using of such checks to make locking decisions have pretty much the same negative effects of recursive locking. -- Mindaugas

Manager attacked after firing worker
A Greg's Gas Plus employee assaulted a store manager Jan. 10 while he was being terminated for breach of trust.
North Augusta Public Safety was dispatched to the store at 10258 Atomic Road around 7:30 a.m. regarding a breach of trust. When officers entered the store, employee Mario Jermaine Davis ran out of the opposite door and locked himself in of his vehicle. After being repeatedly told to do so by a reporting officer, Davis unlocked his door and was detained while officers determined what happened, according to an incident report.
The store's general manager and store manager told police that they took Davis to the manager's office to fire him for stealing money out of the cash registers. The general manager stated that the store's audit for December showed that about $2,100 was missing from beer, grocery, cigarette and deli sales and that Davis had been voiding sales for miscellaneous purchases and taking the money for the sales from the register.
The store manager said she was standing near the door of the manager's office when Davis grabbed her right arm and shoved her into a counter in the manager's office before leaving the office.
Davis, of the 600 Block of Heyward Street in Beech Island, was arrested and charged with assault and battery third degree.

Knoxville (WVLT) - The man accused of murdering a Knox County woman is free on bond. Rick Clark is charged with killing Penny Welch.
Family members are thrilled about the charges. In an exclusive interview with Clark, he maintains his innocence.
This trailer at 2105 Campbell Road in Knoxville has a haunting past. Four women have taken their final breaths here where Rick Clark lives.
"I hope he goes to jail for a long time," said Betty Pike, the mother of one of the women who died at Clark's home.
Betty Pike is the mother of Penny Lynn Welch--the fourth woman to die at Clark's home.
"Four girls how many more has to go before he goes?" Pike said.
Clark's wife, Theresa Bozeman died there in 2000, followed by Kara Kirby in 2004 and Penny Bright in 2005. Betty was happy to hear police arrested Clark.
"We finally got some justice maybe a little and a whole lot of satisfaction," Pike said.
Police charged Clark with second degree murder instead of first.
"We didn't feel we could prove it was premeditated that he was trying to kill her," Knox County Sheriff JJ Jones said.
Welch had a lethal dose of morphine in her body when she died according to autopsy results.
"We feel he facilitated the injection and she ultimately died," Jones said.
Sheriff JJ Jones says they have two witnesses who confessed to watching Clark inject morphine into Welch's body, but Clark doesn't know how.
"They say they had a couple witnesses on TV. There was only one girl here, I don't know where the couple of witnesses come from," Clark said.
Now Pike and Clark wait for the trial to see what jurors think about the deaths in this trailer. Sheriff Jones says it's unlikely any other charges will be brought against Clark for the other 3 deaths.

Interactive Timeline of the First World War
Field Marshal Douglas Haig - The First World War
In December 1915, following over a year of the war of attrition on the Western Front, Sir John French, the commander in chief of the British Expeditionary force, was replaced. His position as the Commander in Chief of the British forces on the Western Front was given to Douglas Haig, who had previously served with distinction in the first battle of Ypres and at Mons.
Haig was a career soldier, having already served as the Director of Military strategy and as the Chief of Staff of the Indian Army. As such it was felt that he would be well equipped to adapt to the new form of warfare that was being experienced on the Western front; Sir John French had become increasingly bemused and depressed by the nature of war in France.
Almost immediately Haig was pressurised to launch a large offensive, to relieve the pressure on the French who were suffering a prolonged defence of Verdun. Haig's response was to plan a large scale offensive in the Somme Valley.
Under Haig the British forces suffered massive losses in the battle of the Somme, attributed by many to his misunderstanding of the new forms of weaponry used in the conflict: he is known to have said that the machine gun was an overrated weapon and was later quite dismissive of the role that tanks could play on the battlefield.
Historians are divided about Haig's role in the war. Many argue that his tactics led to the deaths of far more men than was absolutely necessary whilst others point to the pressure he was placed under by the French and British politicians. On the one hand losses in the major campaigns on the Somme and at Passchendale were higher than ever experienced in warfare - 60000 casualties on the opening day of the battle of the Somme - on the other hand the Somme did achieve it's objective of relieving pressure on Verdun and did result in some territorial gains whilst at Passchendale the Germans were ground down and the salient was kept intact. For the supporters of the latter interpretation there is also the fact that Haig later oversaw the successful battles of 1918 that halted the German counter offensive: with Haig issuing the infamous 'backs to the wall' order followed by rapid advances once American troops reached the frontlines.
After the war Haig remained as the commander of the British Forces until 1921, after which he was instrumental in establishing the royal British legion, which still helps the victims of war and their families.

The Simplicity of Salvation

The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian believers and expressed a fear he had for them. "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." (2 Corinth 11:3) The fundamental core meaning of simplicity is understood by the following words: plain, easy to understand, not involved or complicated, unmixed or uncompounded. One particular definition of simplicity is of great value when it comes to the salvation God has given to man: consisting of one element or part only; not combined or complex. Why would a God, whose desire is to save fallen man, fashion a salvation that was complicated, confusing, convoluted, elaborate, multifarious or circuitous? He wouldn't but Satan would in order to destroy man; hence Paul's fear of Satan beguiling the Corinthians from the simplicity of Christ.
The saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words. Christ's death upon the cross amongst two criminals is a poignant yet explicit picture of the fate that awaits all mankind. It is the elemental disclosure of salvation found and rejected in a most vivid yet simplistic depiction.
"Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left." Matthew 27:39
"And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors." Mark 15:27-28
"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left." Luke 23:33
"And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst." John 19:17-18
The four gospel writers underscore that Christ was crucified between the two thieves, one on his right hand and one on the left. All of mankind and their eternal state are represented by these two rebels. If the above gospel descriptions were all we had concerning the deaths of these two then we might conclude, perhaps with an uneasy hesitancy, that the thief on the right side of Christ did somehow obtain eternal salvation based upon Matthew 25:31-33. "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." It would be a circumstantial inference at best. However, the Lord did not leave us to a state of conjecture. He purposely elucidated salvation and its true simplicity.
Matthew relates that certain priests mocked Christ about trusting God and saving himself as he hung from the cross (27:41-43). But then Matthew adds this additional note: "The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth." (verse 44) Both thieves scorned Christ and rail upon him. This is a picture of the scripture truth stated by Paul in Romans 3:9-18. "We have already stated the charge: both Jews and Greeks are all under the power of sin. As it is written, 'There is no righteous person, not even one. There is no one who understands. There is no one who looks for God. They all turned away. They have become worthless together. There is no one who shows kindness. There is not even one. Their throat is a grave that has been opened. They are deceitful with their tongues, and the poison of vipers is under their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are quick to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and they don't know the way of peace. There is no fear of God in their view of the world.'" At this point both these criminals were enemies of Christ and lost. Understanding this spiritual condition as applicable to all mankind is critical to receiving salvation.
Jesus gave a very important principle in John 3 about the Holy Spirit and salvation, that is, being born again. Verse 8 reads: "The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." How and when the Holy Spirit does his work upon a heart is unknown and hidden from the sight and understanding of human beings. This truth is emphasized by the wind blowing where it wills and no one knowing where it comes from or is going. But the howl of the wind or the rustling of the leaves is the manifestation of the wind's movement. Even so the change in a person's life is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit's work upon the heart of man. Sometimes the change can be instant and dramatic. Such was the change that overcame one of the two thieves crucified with Christ. Let us now turn to the detailed account in the gospel of Luke to understand how one of these thieves received salvation and thus, eternal life.
"And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:39-43)
We know from Matthew that both malefactors started out railing against Jesus. But one of them suddenly came to his senses and realized his eternal fate would soon be a reality before the day ended. I believe this realization was the hidden work of the Holy Spirit upon the heart of one of those thieves. This passage has been used to teach deathbed repentance and that is fine. BUT THIS PASSAGE IS NOT ABOUT DEATHBED REPENTANCE BUT THE SIMPLICITY OF SALVATION.
Consider the words of the repentant thief. The Holy Spirit works this understanding into every heart he is preparing for salvation and eternal life. First the repentant thief acknowledged his guilt and the justice of his execution. He confessed no sins nor offered excuses for his sinful life. Every person must understand and acknowledge their sinful state and the just condemnation of spiritual death they are under, which is eternal separation from the presence of God. In the Epistle of Jude it is said Christ will return to execute judgment on all sinners. Verse 15 adds "to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." Every soul must come to this understanding of its spiritual state and acknowledge it before Christ. The word 'convince' means to move by argument or evidence to belief, agreement, consent, or a course of action. It can also be translated 'convict' which can mean to impress with a sense of guilt. Those who experience salvation, the new birth, will be fully convinced of their sinful state in this life. Those who go into eternal death and separation from God will also be fully convinced of their sinful state but that will happen at the judgment seat of Christ. It will then be too late for salvation.
Secondly, the thief acknowledged the innocence of Christ and the injustice of his execution upon the cross. This thief did not understand the spiritual ramifications of Christ's cross and death. No one did because the Holy Spirit had not yet been given. But the fact that he declared Christ crucifixion and death undeserved and unjust is God's way of demonstrating and revealing to us that sinful man must look to Christ and acknowledge him if there be any hope of salvation.
Lastly, the thief understood that he was completely powerless to save himself so he looked to Jesus and asked to be remembered when Christ came into his kingdom. It is obvious that the thief was thinking of a kingdom beyond this earthly life. Salvation pertains to the realm of the spirit, the kingdom of God within, and life to come. It does not pertain to the circumstances of this present earthly life. Consider the other thief and what he requested of Christ, "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." He was concerned only about his earthly life. And to him Christ was just a means for deliverance from his desperate circumstance. What is chilling and should be much considered was Christ's response to that second thief. There wasn't any! Jesus completely ignored him, even with not so much as a glance his way.
Christ is often portrayed as the deliverer from all the problems and difficulties of this present life. But true salvation is not about the circumstances and their mitigation in this temporal life but the eternal state of sinful man. Consider what John wrote of Christ. "Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover festival. Many people believed in him because they saw the miraculous signs he did. But Jesus did not trust them, because he knew how all people think. He did not need anyone to tell him what a person was like. He already knew." (John 2:23-25) How is that possible? How could Christ turn away from those who believed in him? He did so because those who believed were only interested in this temporal life and what Christ miracles could provide for them here on earth. They were not interested in eternal matters. Thus Christ would not commit to them just as he would not commit to the thief who only wanted deliverance from his current circumstance.
Christ response to the repentant thief's request was simply a promise made. "And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." He did not require the thief to keep commands, be baptized, join a church, stay out of sin, witness to anyone or love God with his whole heart. Why? Because salvation is not about man making promises to God and performing them but God making promises to man and performing them. This thief's only hope for eternal life was to wholly depend on the promise made by Christ and trust him to perform it. Christ's promise was plain, easy to understand, not involved or complicated. It was one element or part only. Hence the simplicity of Christ is the simplicity of salvation. It is about God doing for man, not man doing for God.
But here-in is the rub. What God has made simple man tries to complicate and enlarge. And the chief instigater behind man's efforts is Satan. Consider the prayer of Jesus upon the return of those who he sent out to preach that the Kingdom of God was near. "At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, 'I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.'" (Luke 10:21) Why does God reveal salvation to babes but hide it from the wise and intelligent? Babes come to the table with no agenda. They are a blank sheet. They come with nothing but their need. Just like the repentant thief on the cross. On the other hand the wise and intelligent bring their thoughts, opinions, experience, the need to add on or improve, the need to be admired as wise and intelligent. Thus the more complicated and diverse they can make salvation the more the masses will be dependent upon them. They pollute salvation and make it difficult and works based. It started right after Christ ascension with those in the Body of Christ demanding circumcision in addition to Christ for salvation. And it has gone from bad to worse throughout the ages.
The simplicity of Christ is the simplicity of salvation. Man must acknowledge his sinful state and the inability to deliver himself from such a condition. He must look to Christ only and trust in the Lord's promise to receive all who come unto him. "All whom My Father gives (entrusts) to Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, no never, reject one of them who comes to Me]." (John 6:37) Man must depend entirely upon Christ and his promises for eternal salvation. He must never look to, trust in or depend upon himself. May the Holy Spirit reveal this truth to the hearts of babes and grant them eternal life through Christ, the simplicity of our salvation.

We rarely ride the Delhi Metro. It mainly serves North Delhi; and while they're expanding it south all the way to Gurgaon, they've got at least eighteen more months of construction before our lives would get any easier. But the few times we've ridden it, we've been shocked by its cleanliness, its efficiency, and its punctuality. It's a snapshot of a Delhi-that-never-was, or perhaps a Delhi-that-someday-will-be.
The Metro is the pride of Delhi; its managing director, Dr. Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, is spoken of with universal reverence as a man who can create miracles on time and on budget in a city littered with civic projects gone horribly wrong.
The last time we rode the Metro was in March. It was our first time transferring at Connaught Place (one of the two inter-line transfer points), and it was incredible. The crowd inside the train started pushing out and the crowd outside the train started pushing in far before the doors were open. What ensued was a free-for-all of shoving, of leading with the elbows, of shouldering the person in front of you into the person in front of them, of women using their babies like a quarterback uses his blockers.
We rode the Metro again about two weeks ago. Expecting the transfer at CP to be just as insane, I came armed with the camera. My first thought upon descending the stairs: "There is no way all these people will fit into the train."
But once we made it down the stairs and into the crowd, we discovered that the Delhi Metro authorities had, in the interim, instilled something in their ridership I've never seen in the New York subway: perfect order.
Everyone lined up? Nobody jumping the queue? Adequate space left for people getting off the train?
Where was I, and what had they done to Delhi?
I recorded a video anyway, hoping to capture the chaos I expected once the train doors opened. Instead: behold the most orderly on-boarding I have ever experienced in all my years commuting.
New Delhi: 1. New York: 0.

Two Ribble Valley businesses celebrated wins at the 2014 Red Rose Awards held at Blackpool's Winter Gardens, where a glittering awards ceremony played host to over 1,100 representatives from Lancashire companies.
Dawson's Department Store was awarded the Retail Business of the Year title and Silverwood's Waste Management were winners for the second year running, this time in the Green Business of the Year category, having last year picked up the award for Rural Business of the Year.
The Red Rose Awards, now in their fourth year, are designed to celebrate business in Lancashire and provide the best possible platform to promote success and encourage inter-trading within the county.
Simon Dawson, a director at Dawson's Department Store, the Clitheroe-based family firm said: "We are delighted to have won this award, especially when there are so many great and successful retailers within the county."
Julian Silverwood, managing dDirector of Silverwood's said: "Since we started the company, it has been our aim to continue to achieve 100% landfill diversion and it's important for us to be able to demonstrate this to our clients. Winning Lancashire's Green Business of the Year Award has helped us to do this and it really is a big achievement and a fantastic reward for the efforts made by the team."

IF we didn't know better we'd have assumed that Alt-J were having a laugh with their oh-so-surprised reaction at beating out the likes of Plan B and Richard Hawley to claim the 2012 Mercury Prize.
"When it came to the announcement we could see [presenter] Lauren Laverne form an 'alt-j' shape with her mouth and it was like, 'Oh my God, I think we've won!'" said keyboard player Gus Unger-Hamilton in the aftermath of their win. "It was a bit like a shell going off in a trench."
I don't suppose the four-piece, who met at Leeds University, have been in many shell-hit trenches. That said, their reaction at winning did seem genuine, somehow.
Not sure why, mind. After all, Alt-J's debut album, An Awesome Wave, has had universal love from the critics and it was the clear bookies' favourite to win the award.
Did they deserve it? Well, depends who you ask. As always when Britain's most hyped music accolade is announced, fans unite on the internet to either praise the judges or get mad at them. This year was no exception.
Personally I'm not sure that An Awesome Wave is really THAT great an album but, then again, this year's Mercury shortlist was not exactly a vintage one anyway.
There were no year-defining records such as The xx's debut, which reached omnipresent status in the nation's consciousness as it became the soundtrack to just about everything.
The same could be said of last year's winner, PJ Harvey, whose Let England Shake is a career high from one of Britain's most artistically-driven musicians.
With nothing so startling on this year's shortlist, I'd have given the prize to Jessie Ware, whose debut, Devotion, is a cut above the rest.

At 27, composer and multi-instrumentalist David Moore has quickly established himself as a strong presence in New York City's creative music community. In 2006, after receiving his Bachelor of Music from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, Moore founded the ensemble Bing and Ruth, whose current membership includes clarinets, voices, cellos, basses, piano, trumpet, and lap steel. The band keeps an active performance schedule and has recorded three albums, City Lake (in 2010), Kentile Floors (in 2007), and Bing and Ruth (in 2006). Notable performances include multiple shows for the Wordless Music Series, an appearance at the WFMU festival, two appearances for the Stochastic Brooklyn series, and a live studio recording for WFMU. In 2009 Moore was awarded the MATA Festival Commission and the MATA Film Commission, both awards culminating with a new multimedia piece premiered by Bing and Ruth at the 2009 MATA Festival in New York City.
In addition to his national and international touring schedule, Moore performs regularly at many of New York's venues for new music and the avant-garde, including Le Poisson Rouge, the Stone, the Knitting Factory, the Tank, Barbés, Issue Project Room, Zebulon, and the Brooklyn Lyceum. He is also known for his performances in spaces not normally associated with live music. He has given concerts in an abandoned meat locker, in a chicken coop, in a vacant apartment, on a beach, and on a warehouse rooftop. Since relocating from Kansas in 2004, Moore has released five albums of original work. Along with the three from Bing and Ruth, he has two records documenting his compositions for solo piano, Neighborhood Shifts (in 2007) and Book of Days (in 2005).
Moore is a prolific composer for film, theater, and installation, and he has appeared as both performer and composer on releases by a diverse roster of record labels including Velour, Palmetto, Brownswood, Because Music, and Kemado. He has been featured in the New York Times, Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, La Blogotheque, Flavorpill, Music Slut, the Guardian, Downbeat, Jazzwise, and the New York Post and has appeared on NPR, WNYC, and WFMU. He also founded and runs the independent vinyl label Happy Talk and was recently the subject of a Take-Away Show from highly acclaimed music filmmaker Vincent Moon. Besides his work as a composer and a pianist, Moore is an accomplished old-time and bluegrass banjo player, a producer, and a member of alt-country punk outfit Langhorne Slim.

Author has written 2 stories for Naruto.
Name: Kayume
The Ninja-RPG:
Haruno Kayume kakaOC
Check it out below! R&R please! NO FLAMES PLEASE! It's my first fic uploaded so... xD Be nice k? Oh and also it's a bit AU... Timeline is kind of screwed... I couldn't figure out where this would fit into the Naruto series so I'm just going to gather a bit of the past, present and future for this fic... Hope it doesn't cause too much confusion. =S
So... this fic isn't so new anymore... And thanks to all the wonderful readers and reviewers that kept this fic going. Without all of you, it'd probably be on hiatus... Like MANY of the stories I never get around to finishing and uploading.
Many apologies to all those that have this story on alert... I won't be finishing this story. My interests have moved from Naruto to FFVII. :P
How sasusaku
Like the summary says, it was inspired by a sasusaku fic I read at some point. I would credit the inspired piece, but I don't remember what it's called...

"What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke." –Steve Martin
Tag Archives: comedy
Dying to do Letterman
As anyone who reads this blog knows, I am a supporter of all things wannabe. I love to encourage anybody and everybody who has the guts and the perseverance to go after their dream. To face rejection and work long, hard hours with absolutely no guarantee of success.
I'm also a huge fan of standup comedy and love to meet people who are brave enough to get up in front of a bunch of strangers and try to make them laugh. When I heard about the documentary DYING TO DO LETTERMAN, I was excited about the idea of the campaign of a young comic to try to get on Letterman. Classic wannabe story. Underdog, hardworking artist seeks to fulfill his dream of performing on Letterman. Hell, yes I'll support this campaign! I can't donate much, but I'll do what I can.
And that was before I found out how literal the title of the documentary was. The guy has cancer. He's been told he may only have five years to live.
There's no weepy melodrama, no poor me please help my dream come true. Check out the video and see for yourself. The guy's a hardworking comic with a very serious disease with no cure. And he wants to fulfill his dream, just like all wannabe actors, writers, musicians, etc. It's just the he may have a lot less time to do it than the rest of us.
Check out the video and donate if you can. Spread the word. Help out fellow wannabe Steve Mazan and the hardworking folks who toiled to make this incredible documentary.
Rock on, Steve. Rock on, wannabes everywhere.

Would anyone send votto and phillips to toronto for lawrie and bautista?
Would anyone send votto and phillips to toronto for lawrie and bautista?
Interesting, but I say no. Votto and Phillips are both younger than Bautista and I would expect Bautista to begin to decline. To further the point, I wouldn't give up an MVP first baseman and the best second baseman in all of MLB for an aging outfielder with a large contract and a good 3B prospect. If you pull the trigger on a deal involving BP and Votto, it had better return a #1 starter and then some.
Absolutely I'd do this trade. We're getting 5 plus years of Lawrie, and Bautista through 2015. Phillips will likely be gone after this year and votto the year after that. This is a trade that would help us win now and later.
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball - Jacques Barzun
EE has been playing LF in winter ball; he and Adam Lind both played 1st last year for the Jays so one has to think that AA is going to make a push for a big time 1st baseman. Their payroll was $70m last year but that's because AA has cut $$ since becoming GM. 2 years ago I believe their payroll was around $90m so the money is there to take on a contract.
I would do that in a heartbeat. Lawrie looks like he's going to be a star. Bautista already is. We'd get Bautista cheaper and 2 years longer than Votto with Alonso to plug in for Votto. I think Phillips only has a couple more good years in him.
The more I think about it, the more I like this deal. One cautionary note, of course, is that Lawrie probably can't sustain the performance he broke into the majors with (852 career OPS in the minors, vs 953 last year in the majors), but over the next few years, I could certainly see him outproducing Phillips. Moreover, Lawrie played a lot of 2B in the minors, so we could potentially pencil him in at 2B this year while Rolen/Franciso man 3B, then in subsequent years,when Hamilton or Rodriguez are potentially ready to play 2B in the majors, slide Lawrie to third.
UNC Tar Heels 2017 National Champions 6 time NCAA Champs!!!
57, 82, 93, 05, 09, 17
Go Heels!!!!!
I like the trade for the youth movement and payroll flexibility. Plus he is a RH middle of the lineup presence to split Bruce and Alonso. If Lawrie continues his terror from last September sign him to a Longoria contract.
If any of these Votto/Bautista trades actually happen, I'll spend about a month in utter shock.
No way in hell Toronto would do that....
when i posted this i saw bautista going in at third and lawrie being moved to second where he played in the brewers minor league system before he was traded to the Jays the line up would look something like this
1. Stubbs Cf
2. Heisey LF
3. Alonso 1B
4. Bautista 3B
5. Bruce RF
6. Lawrie 2B
7. Mesoraco C
8. Cozart SS

Yeah, by now I think the blog Stuff White People Like has made the rounds. Here's a list of all the food-related material on the site so far. The site is probably better described as "Stuff Yuppies Like," and some of these write-ups are pretty spot on:
- Bottles of water ("Water seems like a fairly simple concept. You turn on the tap, put glass underneath, and drink. Sadly, it is not this simple for white people.")
- Being the only white person around ("When they are eating at a new ethnic restaurant ... nothing spoils their fun more than seeing another white person.")
- Recycling ("The best advice is that if you plan to deal with white people on regular basis either start recycling or purchase a large blue bin so that they can believe they are recycling.")
- Expensive sandwiches ("Generally these places aren't open for dinner, have a panini press and are famous for their bread.")
- Bicycles (There's a food-related passage in there that's pretty rich.)
- Japan ("Enjoying the food, learning about how to eat it, and how to be snobby about it.")
The rest are pretty self-explanatory, but do click through for the hilarious send-ups.

MDB provides an extensive collection of features for analyzing the Solaris kernel and other target programs. You can:
Perform post-mortem analysis of Solaris kernel crash dumps and user process core dumps: MDB includes a collection of debugger modules that facilitate sophisticated analysis of kernel and process state, in addition to standard data display and formatting capabilities. The debugger modules allow you to formulate complex queries to:
Locate all the memory allocated by a particular thread
Print a visual picture of a kernel STREAM
Determine what type of structure a particular address refers to
Locate leaked memory blocks in the kernel
Analyze memory to locate stack traces
Use a first-class programming API to implement your own debugger commands and analysis tools without having to recompile or modify the debugger itself: In MDB, debugging support is implemented as a set of loadable modules (shared libraries that the debugger can dlopen(3DL)), each of which provides a set of commands that extends the capabilities of the debugger itself. The debugger in turn provides an API of core services, such as the ability to read and write memory and access symbol table information. MDB provides a framework for developers to implement debugging support for their own drivers and modules; these modules can then be made available for everyone to use.
Learn to use MDB if you are already familiar with the legacy debugging tools adb(1) and crash(1M): MDB provides backward compatibility with these existing debugging solutions. The MDB language itself is designed as a superset of the adb language; all existing adb macros and commands work within MDB so developers who use adb can immediately use MDB without knowing any MDB-specific commands. MDB also provides commands that surpass the functionality available from the crash utility.
Benefit from enhanced usability features. MDB provides a host of usability features, including:
Command-line editing
Command history
Built-in output pager
Syntax error checking and handling
Online help
Interactive session logging


text: Elliott Erwitt started taking pictures at the age of 16, and 68 years later, he hasn't stopped. tabsAbout From JFK and Marilyn Monroe, to countless pictures of dogs, Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt has shot them all, bringing his own unique humour and vision to images that have inspired a generation of photographers. TateShots went to meet him at his home in New York Erwitt's work is featured in Another London at Tate Britain, an exhibition that explores the capital through the eyes of some of the biggest names in international photography. Another London, Tate Britain 27 July – 16 September 2012 Transcription I've been a photographer since quite some time. I started taking pictures when I was 16, and I haven't stopped. I decided that if I were going to be a photographer, I would have to go to New York, because that's where the centre of everything was. While in New York I had the good fortune to show my pictures to Edward Steichen at the Museum of Modern Art, and to Robert Capa, who happened to be in town. And Robert Capa thought that I was promising enough to eventually take me into the newly formed Magnum organisation. Most of my pictures are not set up. It all depends on how you define 'setting up'. Is setting up waiting for the right moment, or is setting up directing people to do things for you? Well, maybe it's a combination of both. I think setting up could also be waiting for something to happen, and putting yourself in the right position for catching it when it does, if it does. I think London is a very picturesque city. In fact, I think I went to London more frequently than I went down town while living in New York. And as I always have my camera, and as London is a particularly picture-worthy place, I took a lot of pictures. Some of them are ending up at the Tate, which is very pleasant. What is it about dogs? It's everything about dogs. Dogs are wonderful people. They are charming, for the most part. I've always had a dog. And they don't ask for prints. I'm essentially a commercial photographer with a hobby, and the hobby is photography. So my hobby is generally in black and white, because there I'm working for myself, and I prefer it. The pictures that I take for my own amusement haven't changed since I began more than 60 years ago. You can tell the difference sometimes because of clothing or automobiles in the background, but essentially I haven't changed at all. I take fewer pictures than I used to. I don't know if that's wisdom or not. Tags:InterviewTateShotsPhotography

Just because they are no published books yet (that we have found) doesn't mean that that is not her current occupation. Another possibility is a pseudonym like many authors use.:nonoOriginally Posted by promqueenhollz;2844463;

Obama says he needs more than one term
President Obama told supporters in Wisconsin today that he needs more than one term to make the kinds of changes Washington needs.
"From the day I ran for this office last year -- er, four years ago, it seems like just last year -- I've always said change takes more than one term, one president, one party," Obama said at a fundraiser in Milwaukee.
Again casting the race against Mitt Romney as a stark choice between two visions of government, Obama said the election can break up the gridlock in Washington that has frustrated some of his plans.
"We've got what it takes to succeed," Obama said, "but what's preventing us from realizing that potential is the politics in Washington. Part of what this election is about is giving people the voice to break that deadlock. It may be harder, but it leads to the better place."
Obama said Romney practices "top-down" economics, including tax cuts for the wealthy and budget cuts for the middle class. The president said his ideas include reducing the federal debt by raising taxes on the wealthy, while maintaining government spending on education and the energy.
The president echoed his message during a campaign rally at an outdoor park in Milwaukee.
At the fundraiser, the president was introduced by a local hero: Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron, who began his career with the Milwaukee Braves in the 1950s.
Aaron, once baseball's home run king, asked voters to hit a "grand slam" for Obama.
Romney supporters said this late visit to Wisconsin by the president -- little more than six weeks before the election -- shows White House worry about a state Obama carried by 14 points four years ago.
Danny O'Driscoll, Romney's campaign manager in Wisconsin, wrote in a memo that high unemployment and rising debt are big factors. "President Obama's failure to turn around the economy and get America working again is the reason Wisconsin voters are looking for a different path," he said.
Republicans are on a bit of a renaissance in Wisconsin. Two years ago, the state elected a Republican governor, Scott Walker, and a Republican senator, Ron Johnson. Paul Ryan, one of the state's congressmen, is Romney's running mate.
Recent polls still show Obama up in Wisconsin. The president led Romney 51%-45% in a Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News survey.
