Never has a message been more needed. With the increased, adamant demand for abortion rights by Planned Parenthood and its supporters, more women are hearing an angry message on either side. On the left, they hear: "Kill your baby! It's your right!" And on the other side, they hear: "People who have abortions are murderers!"
But Jim Caviezel, famed actor for The Passion, gives an incredibly powerful message not often heard in the vitriolic media conversation: God loves every person and has great forgiveness available for those who have had abortions--both men and women.
This is such a moving video. Do you agree? Share it if you want it to spread!

Presentations and main topics discussed at the 81st Session of the Steel Committee held in Paris, 8 September 2016.
The report is intended to contribute to the implementation of policies in a post-conflict Libya to promote private sector development. The report analyses the structural economic and framework conditions prevalent in Libya, highlights potential drivers of development and considers the role of SMEs and entrepreneurship promotion in driving post-conflict recovery. Based on international experience and practices, and considering the context of the country, the report identifies the necessary legal frameworks, institutions and policies for the promotion of SME and entrepreneurship. The document is part of a wider MENA Transition Fund project to support the design and implementation of SME policies in Libya.
In this working paper estimates of emissions embodied in final demand and in international trade were generated to contribute to a better understanding of how CO2 emissions around the world are driven by global consumption patterns. After explaining the methodology in detail, some general results are described and examples given of how to use and interpret the derived indicators.
This project is part of a series of rapid policy assessment projects on inclusive entrepreneurship policies and programmes that are conducted by the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission.
National intellectual property (IP) systems can play a pivotal role in fostering innovation and knowledge diffusion. This report analyses Kazakhstan's IP system with regards to its support of the country's innovation performance. In particular, it assesses the organisation and governance of Kazakhstan's IP system as well as the needs and challenges faced by different groups of actual and potential IP users – ranging from universities and public research institutions to state-owned enterprises and small businesses. The review provides a comprehensive set of statistics describing the use of IP in Kazakhstan in recent years, identifies the system's strengths and weaknesses, and presents a range of specific policy recommendations to address existing challenges.
With the emergence of global value chains (GVCs), production processes are increasingly fragmented and dispersed across different countries. Although many MNEs still exhibit an important 'home bias' in their global innovation activities, a growing number of firms have offshored R&D and innovative activities to foreign locations.
The nexus of slowing productivity growth and rising inequality is capturing the attention of policymakers and researchers. The productivity slowdown, its causes, and the link with inclusiveness will be discussed on 7-8 July in Lisbon at the first Annual Conference of the new Global Forum on Productivity, which was created by the OECD in collaboration with a number of Member and non-Member countries.
The Productivity-Inclusiveness Nexus proposes a new approach to boost productivity growth while, at the same time, reducing inequalities of income and opportunities. The report begins by examining the trend slowdown of productivity growth, which has been observed in many OECD countries over recent years, and the longer-standing rise - and persistence - of inequalities of income, wealth, well-being and opportunities. It then gathers the most recent empirical evidence on some of the common foundations behind these trends and considers possible linkages. The analysis aims to shed light on policy insights to address both issues together, creating room for synergies and win-win policies.
Fifteen years after the creation of National Contact Points as a means to improve the implementation of the Guidelines, the OECD has conducted an analysis of the functioning and performance of the National Contact Points.
Thank you for your welcome, and thank you to the Washington International Trade Association for hosting today's event. The OECD is a longstanding advocate of open markets. I am delighted to be among so many ''friends of trade'' to share the OECD's latest data, analysis and reflections on developments in the global trade landscape.

I don't know where I'm going with this rant, but I doubt it's that interesting to most people (reading over it, I realized it probably makes me sound really angry, but it's more of a minor annoyance, if anything). This didn't happen recently or anything, but I just thought it needed to be addressed, because it is a very serious problem that runs rampant in a society where people borrow or lend writing utensils. Well, it's not that serious.
42 Responses to "Borrowing Pencils"
I used to borrow pencils all the time (I still do!) and never return them, but I didn't loose them. I was just too lazy to bring them back =D
And thats why i never lend my writing tools out.
Eurgh, I hate having to loan people pencils. I always leave a pencil on my bedside table, right next to my glasses, so I always have one, but only one. So when people ask "hey can i has pencil dood" I can say that the pencil I have is my only one. If I do lend a pencil, I'll constantly remind myself about it and hound them down at the end of class for it, but they're usually good people and return it without me having to remind them.
It must suck for those people who carry around those wooden pencils and not awesome mechanical pencils, though, because people will occasionally chew the pencils up, so that when you get it back you kinda don't want it back.
On the other hand, you have people who pester you at lunchtime for food, and those people are REALLY annoying, especially once they realize they won't get anything out of you by asking and resort to thievery. Twice this kid tried to take my lunch when I wasn't looking, I chased after him and assaulted him mercilessly.
@tragic comedy: Ditto here. :x
you know what i hate also rather than borrowing pencils
when people ask "may i borrow a dollar"
how can you borrow it when you are going to spend it >:|
@MarisaMuffin: Ditto
@NoWaiThatsImpossible: Theoritical borrowing, I guess. They spend it and the next day they give you another one. But it's really just a bad choice of words.
I dont need to lend out writing implements to lose them, they just disappear in my house all on their own. I swear that my house is actualy eating them. >.> <.<
Well, I always be the lender… for magazines, though. What's more annoying than people who don't return borrowed things is people who actually lend it to other people….
But, either people really didn't want to return back borrowed stuff, or didn't have any chance to actually returning them…
Well, Headphone girl's reaction at the end made me laugh.
@alphamone Yeah, I hate when that happens. And then when I really need a pencil I just find the ones with bad erasers that dirty up your paper when you erase.
Ah, yes. Pencil borrowing. One of my classmates once borrowed a hell lotta pencils from the teacher without her knowing. One day, she found out and he got in serious trouble. It happened to another classmate monthes later.
Ah, this is a matter where I'm master, I always borrow pens and pencils from people, yarrrr!
And then, after the block ends, I dissapear, yarrrr, yarrrr!
Next, I go to my ship and start polishing details turning them into brand new teeth, yarrr, yarrr, yarrr!!!
No, now seriously, I always borrow pen/pencils from my classmates, but, it's cause I have a poltergeist always surrounding me!
I swear this thing steals everything from me! Pens, pencils, books, notebooks, backpacks, videogames from a fellow death a couple of years ago!!! (I'm serious, I'm still wondering how to repay that) and man, it's not my fault… it's… ah… the system… the system, yeah, it's the responsible of all my problems.
*probably referring to his own mind*
Daily flashes: covering all the aspects of your life (including borrowing pencils)
well if that person ever asks for your help..you get to say "Well I'll help you right as soon as you return me that thing you borrowed from me" … then you get a valid excuse for not having to go through the trouble of helping him And make him feel guilty at the same time. Hooray!
Today's daily flash made me laugh more than I can remember a daily flash making me laugh before. Of course, that's probably just due to sleep loss.
Maybe the best time to view daily flashes is at 3:48 AM local time.
So I guess you too can have this problems. Seriously, what are these people thinking? And the weird part is when suddenly, there appear stuff that not even yours. You had to ask yourself whose are those. And you're not the one who borrowed them.
But yeah, it's annoying.
Hmm, I always lent my pencils to people, and it happened a lot when I had to borrow one, but I've always returned them, and they always gave back the pencils. What was actually strange in a class where people always stole each other's money and jewels. In my last year, it almost became a police case.
I always bought a cheap pack of pencils and pens in High School and College because I was always the person who was asked and I never got them back. But because of this I still have my favorite green mechanical pencil from over 10 years ago. I also always carried a lighter with me even though I didn't smoke… because I was always asked for one.
In junior high I lent out a nice pencil… one day a year later I asked the same person for one and they were like "Oh.. yeah, this is yours anyway…"
@Arlekin: Daily flashes: covering all the aspects of your daily life.
This is why… no, how can I compare a mere pen or pencil to what has happened to me when it comes to this topic?
You see, I have a horrible luck when it comes to lending things. Even to people I know I can trust in lending something, they might happen to lose or damage what I had lent them. I have lent and lost stuff like:
-Pens, pencils, erasers, scissors, many other tools of that kind.
-Video games
-FREAKING MMORPG expensive armor. But was able to get that back. After like 3 or 4 months with some help of my cousin.
-Variety of articles
-My damn Gameboy color!
-My Gameboy advance got damaged after I lent it to my cousin (the same one above) and now the screen doesn't work.
I am never lending my Nintendo DS to anyone. Ever.
Incidentally, I almost never borrow anything, I don't like to be in debt with someone.
My policy is that when you lend something, you better consider it lost. Until they give it back at least (if they DO).
It's a well-established scientific fact that 87% of all borrowed pencils end up into the Super-Sargasso Sea.
@Nietz: The Super Sargasso Sea is actually a giant gap made by Yukari.
this daily flash reminds me of how my mom took 10 dollars from me and forgot to pay me back. still
…which is why I don't loan pencils
Nietz- Yukari did it. That's why if you play Touhou Mother, you see all those random objects in the gap.
haha That happened to me a lot of times >.<
@Mew: Pff. My father borrowed 62000 HUF (circa 316 dollars) from me, and he still haven't paid me back. It was actually more money but I got back a little of it and I bought a DS from it.
Protip: Never lend anyone any pens/pencils/anything
A big topic for me at school. Brings back idiotic memories of having some stuck-up girl telling me to go get her pencil from the computer room on the other side of school which has a class in it, and then finding out it's not in there and having said girl annoy me for the rest of the school year.
Sometimes I do return pencils, but I don't really care whether my pencils get returned to me. But erm, enough on pencils. Generally they are the bane of my existance, sooo.
Instead of 'borrowing' your pencil and never giving them back, I'm going to 'borrow' your time!
*Cough* I happen to have a new version of the EoSD Arrange out in case anyone cares.
I entered the seventh grade with about 200 pencils. About 3 months later, I had five left. I left the seventh grade with one pencil and a highlighter.
School supplies diminish so quickly.
The trick is to only carry around 1 pen and 1 pencil. Not only do you save yourself the hassle of the extra weight, you always have an excuse not to lend to anybody. When I was in university, it was always 1 of everything, pen, pencil, eraser, sharpener, binder. Never had to lend to people, and it made my supplies last forever; I've still got a ton of pens and pencils from then.
Come to think of it…I never did get my pen back from my friend the other day…
@zerokirby15: Forget it. It's gone. Forever. The end. Finite. A returning to dust.
I guess I'm one of the awesome people then!
We should give the pen a funeral.
In my strict Middle school, Its possible to get suspended for not having at least five pencils.
Schools rules don't make sense anymore. I can't drink from water fountain if there's hair in it, Saturday school for a tardy, you can't use the bathroom at lunch, and you can't sit in grass.
@star: I'm just glad I'm not experiencing this current wave of "Won't someone think of the children histeria" that's sweeping the country.
wawawa, everytime that somebody borrow a pencil from me they end up by stealing it from me…now i have only one pen…i'm not even sure where the heck my color pencils are…
I solved the whole pencil borrowing/losing problem easily:
Name them. You would rather DIE than let somebody know you have a pencil named Lucky Smash.
[…] Borrowing Pencils « Walfas […]
One of my classmate always get my pencil in my pencil case.. sometimes he never asked..Can i barrow your pencil please there is no please … and he was a black kid and my mom always change my pencil everyday …. there are time he stole my pencil… and never return it back… i told him why dont you asked your parents to buy you a pencil. he said " nothing" there are time he give my pencil without eraser…i dont like it…i dont know why there are some kids have no manner to say please and thank you… i dont like it…

Jeffrey Gordon, who for the past two years or so has spent endless hours answering questions from occasionally semi-numerate reporters on all matters financial, is leaving the state Budget Division for a new job as chief spokesman for NYSERDA, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
That means Gordon will go from explaining the intricacies of revenue forecasts, budget call letters and credit ratings to the vagaries of fuel prices as well as the mechanics of wind power and details of the state's electric grid.
Gordon is an experienced Albany hand, coming to the Budget Division in 2007 after working at the Comptroller's office for 11 years under Alan Hevesi and H. Carl McCall. He actually started as a budget examiner in 1991, switching to the press operation in the last year of the Cuomo (Mario, that is) administration and the first year of the Pataki era.
Congratulations and good luck Jeffrey!

Let's Just Praise Him
- Artist: Brenda Boone
- Genre: Gospel
- Release Date: 11/6/2007
Letter of History of the Higher Praise Community Choir by our Founder, Musician, Directress, Writer and Arranger, Rev. Brenda L. Boone I bring you greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus. It is an honor for me to share with you the history of this Dynamic, multicultural, group of talented singers and musicians. God gave me the vision and the opportunity to bring together multiple voices of the Hampton Roads area into one concert choir. During the month of January 2001, I was given the opportunity to present a concert at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Suffolk, Virginia with their Chapel Choir in celebration of Choir Month 2001. With much prayer and seeking the Will of the Holy Spirit, I was inspired in my dream to combine every choir, soloist, male chorus, and gospel ensemble from the area churches I have served as organist and musician current and past. At this union, a concert was performed so that we could mightily Praise God! After much planning and praying, requests were made to each group to join in this Community Choir vision. Responses and agreements to participate were overwhelming and it was revealed at that moment that God was doing a great and mighty work in the Spirit of Praise! The Holy Spirit gave me the theme, the scripture, and the name of the choir in my dream for the initial concert, "Let's Just Praise Him," and the name of this concert choir, "The Higher Praise Community Choir," (HPCC). I was inspired to begin each rehearsal and the reading of the entire 100th Book of Psalm to establish the central theme for this choir. HE also gave me the names of the accompanying musicians HE wanted to serve with me in this endeavor. Psalm 100 was given by GOD to be the establishing scripture for HIS Higher Praise Community Choir. We meditate and exercise this inspiring scripture which ushers HPCC into the presence of GOD. Most importantly, God spoke to my spirit these words: "I want everyone to just praise ME. If you praise me more, I will bless you more....just tell everyone to lift ME higher with praises, not just today or tomorrow; but all the time....Lift up holy hands and praise me and I will heal you, I will heal your finances, I will heal the land...I will pour out bountiful blessings upon you and your families....bless ME with a higher praise." As a result of this charge of music ministry, January 28, 2001 became the establishing point of time where the Chapel Choir of Metropolitan Baptist Church of Suffolk, Virginia; Dr. Robert Hobbs, Pastor; united with the many other Hampton Roads choir members to include: New Hope Baptist Church, Chesapeake, VA; Dr.Foster, Pastor; Oak Grove Baptist Church, Suffolk, VA; Dr. Copeland, Pastor; Tabernacle Christian Church, Suffolk, VA; Dr. Upton, Pastor Poplar Run Baptist Church, Suffolk, VA; Rev. Williams,Pastor Eternal Joy Ensemble, several guest soloists and musicians We all united as one numbering 120 voices strong, lifting up the Name of Jesus as HE commands. It was at this appointed time that GOD spoke to my spirit again to voice to everyone that we are to PRAISE HIM HIGHER, LIFT HIM HIGHER, and GIVE A HIGHER PRAISE...GOD wants his people everywhere to PRAISE HIM more and more. I thank God for serving the Hampton Roads Church communities for over 7 years with Higher Praise Community Choir, but in the Ministry of Music for over 30 years in song, worship, and praise.

2014 Australian GP - Driver Reaction
The 22 drivers have their say on a thrilling race in Melbourne
By William Esler
Last Updated: 16/03/14 1:18pm
Nico Rosberg: "That was an incredible day for us. To start the season with a win is unbelievable and I have to say a big thank you to everybody who was involved in building our car over the winter. I always dreamed of having such a strong Silver Arrow and now it seems we are there. In the race, everything went perfectly for me.
"My start was great and I was able to push from there until the end, with our fuel consumption well under control. However, despite our success today, we also know that there is still some work to do. We saw over the weekend that reliability is still a concern and it prevented us from having a strong two-car finish. We have two weeks to improve that. I am very much looking forward to Malaysia and I would love to race again tomorrow!"
Lewis Hamilton: "My start didn't feel great today and I had a lot less power than usual when pulling away, so it was obvious immediately that something was wrong. It looks like we only had five cylinders firing and, while I wanted to keep going, we had to play safe and save the engine. It's unfortunate but that's racing and we will recover from this. We have a great car and engine, and the pace was really strong today as Nico clearly showed.
"Big congratulations to him and the team for achieving the win, it's a fantastic result for us. Of course I'm disappointed with my own race and when I think about all the work that has gone on back at our factories, it's tough to have a costly hiccup. However we have achieved an incredible amount to get here, to be at the front and to be so competitive; we will bounce back and learn from this. There is a very long way to go this season."
Fernando Alonso: "I'd have liked to start the season with a podium, but getting both cars to the flag is a good result, which can give us confidence, especially on the reliability front. I had some problems with the electric motor at the start and had to make a few changes from the steering wheel, but after the first ten laps everything went well.
"When I managed to pass Hulkenberg after the pit stop my pace was definitely better, although it was impossible to overtake. 35 seconds down on the leader is too big a gap and to work out what we need to do to close that gap, we will need to analyse the race, work out what are the strong and weak points on the car and with that in mind, the laps I did behind Nico can provide very useful information.
"We are a great team and I have total faith in our guys, because they did a great job today. We still have lots to learn about this new Formula 1, as the race was very strange and very difficult. But it's only the start. We must concentrate on doing better in Malaysia."
Kimi Raikkonen: "That wasn't a straightforward race. At the start, I managed to get away well and even though I was hit from behind by another car at the first corner, my car was undamaged. The speed was good, but at one point I was suffering with graining on the front tyres, I had very little grip and a lot of understeer.
"From then on, the car's handling was not the same. When it was time for the first stop, we had to do a double stop and that cost me a place. It's definitely too early to make any definite judgement, because even if at the moment we don't seem to be in great shape, we still managed to finish the race, scoring valuable points.
"We can't be pleased with this result and we know there are many areas where we need to improve. But I'm sure that analysing the data from this first race will give us a clearer idea of the direction to work in."
Romain Grosjean: "In a way, it was a pretty positive day. I expected to do around 15 to 20 laps in the race after all the issues we've had this weekend, and we managed 45! We've learnt a lot today and all the changes made to the car have been positive.
"We still have a long way to go, but at least I know more about tyre usage, all my engineers know where we need to improve with the chassis, and we've learnt a lot about aero balance and fuel consumption. Of course there's more to do with the energy management and recovery and some work yet with the braking. We've still got lots of work to do, but we're definitely heading in the right direction."
Pastor Maldonado: "It was obviously very disappointing, but if you look at the positives we did more laps than in the pre-season which is quite encouraging as we have more data which is very important for making progress. We had a very negative free practice but we did plenty of laps during the race which is very positive for the team. I'm looking forward to the next race and we'll keep pushing."
Kevin Magnussen: "It's just fantastic to be on the podium! What happened today just feels surreal. Being on the podium in the first race of my Formula 1 career - it's amazing.
"My 'moment' at the start was quite scary - I got on the power a bit too quickly, and nearly lost it. But the car was fantastic today - I was always able to place it exactly where I wanted, and I had the pace to fight the Red Bull. I had a bit of a go at Daniel towards the ends of the race, but didn't quite have the speed to get past.
"I want to say a big congratulations to the team for doing such a good job over the winter and for working so hard to prepare me for this - it's just crazy!
"Where do we go from here? Well, we need to continue improving. And I'm sure we will. I'll try to learn as much as I can, and to carry this experience forward to Malaysia. It's a completely different circuit, so there's no guarantee we'll have the sort of speed we showed here today, but I'm sure the team will keep pushing as hard as they've done already this year.
"I'm very happy, and I'm sure the guys are happy to be leading the constructors' world championship, as indeed I am too. That's a big boost, and the guys completely deserve it.
"Me? I'll just keep pushing as hard as I can."
Jenson Button: "It was a great drive by Kevin today - I had a lot of fun chasing him and Daniel down at the end of the race, but my tyres were several laps older than theirs, so it was always going to be tricky. Still, I had a good race - the car's balance wasn't quite right when I was in traffic - I struggled with understeer when I was behind people - but the car worked very well in clear air.
"For some reason, it seems to be more difficult to overtake now than it used to be, so we had to do it during the pit stops. During my second stop, we damaged the nose - which made it a bit cooler in the cockpit! - but the guys did a great job of putting me in the right place at the right time. When the Safety Car came out, I quickly dived into the pit lane at the last second - which gained me a couple of places. And then the second stop gained me a couple more. They were both great calls.
"As a team, I think we can be very proud of the job we did today. I don't think we expected to be leading the constructors' world championship at the end of this weekend, but I think the pace in the car is generally there: in clear air, we seem capable of fighting every team except one. I'm really looking forward to getting back in the car in Malaysia.
"It's been an emotional day for me, but it's been great to have my sister, my fiancée and lots of friends around me, so that definitely helped."
Force India
Nico Hulkenberg: "Seventh place is a positive way to start the season. I was very happy to see the chequered flag - the first time I've done so in Melbourne - and it's important to score some good points early on. I made a strong start and enjoyed good track position for the first two stints when I was running up in fourth. The only real issue I had was some front left graining on the soft tyres, which never really cleared up and that compromised my first two stints.
"It was a shame to lose two positions at my second stop [to Button and Alonso] but it looks like some of the cars around us have a bit more pace at the moment. I want to thank the team for the amazing job they've done over the winter and this weekend to get us to this point. It's been a great effort and it's nice to reward everyone with some points at the first race."
Sergio Perez: "I'm satisfied to finish the race, but disappointed not to score points. My race became very difficult on lap one when I got hit by the Sauber of Gutierrez at turn three. It gave me a puncture and I had to return to the pits very slowly, which dropped me to the back of the pack. After that I just tried to keep a consistent pace on the medium tyres and I was quite fortunate that the safety car came out, which helped me recover some positions.
"Points were close, but my progress was hurt by being stuck behind the Sauber of Adrian for such a long time. It's positive to finish the race because it gives the team lots of information and hopefully that will make us stronger for Malaysia."
Esteban Gutierrez: "It was a different kind of racing today, but definitely something we take as a reference. In general we are missing speed and it's a challenge to be able to compete at the front like this. As a team, we need to make sure we put everything together because the lack of speed we have on the straight is quite significant. However, we can be very happy that we both finished the race today. This means a step forward for the team and its reliability."
Adrian Sutil: "It was an exciting race, and especially the start, but luckily I went through without any incidents. We had a few issues with the powertrain during the first stint, but after the pit stop that improved. Nevertheless this cost us a lot of time that we couldn't recover. I was on a two stop strategy, but we switched to a one stop because of the safety car.
"This could have worked well, but the safety car phase didn't help us. In addition we were simply too slow, but we managed to finish the race, which was our goal. We came close to the points, but we need to improve our speed. There is a lot of data now to analyse and we can only improve. I hope that we will progress quickly."
Toro Rosso
Jean-Eric Vergne: "This is obviously a good result, even though the car was very difficult to drive. We had problems with the brakes which made us lose a lot of time but at the end we are all satisfied to finish the race with two cars in the points. I'm very pleased with the overall three points especially for the team, more than for myself. After a long difficult time and so much hard work this winter, this is a great relief for all the guys in the garage and it's nice for us drivers to be able to give them something back.
"It looks like things are turning well and hopefully it will always be better from now on. As for my mistake in the last corner, I was trying to defend myself from Mercedes, looking for the best line to get a good exit, but I went on the grass and I was lucky enough not to spin the car. It's really a shame but it's just the first race and I'm sure we will have plenty of opportunities to score more points. Overall, it's a good result today."
Daniil Kvyat: "It was a very intense afternoon and finishing my first race with a point is a great feeling. It was a fantastic first Grand Prix weekend with the team, everyone worked really hard and scoring points was a great way to end it. So well done to everyone! The start was a bit messy, but after that I managed to get into a rhythm and the car seemed competitive compared to those around us.
"It was close at the end with Jev, but I had to save fuel towards the end, so I was not going to attack him. I never expected to score a point in my first race, so it feels amazing. It's a real boost for us and now we have to keep on working hard and if we keep on the way we are going, then we can look forward to a really positive season."
Valtteri Bottas: "The car performed very well today which is looking encouraging for the season ahead, and on the whole as a team we can be pleased that we have made a good step forward from last season. I'm a little disappointed with myself because I was pushing a bit too hard and hit the wall which caused a puncture and put me back a long way.
"I spent the rest of the race trying to make up for that mistake and managed to make some good overtakes, but I need to learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again. It felt great to be able to race hard with people around me and I want to say a big thank you to the race team and everyone back at Grove and Brixworth who have done a great job with this car. We should have finished higher today than we did with the pace we had and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do in Malaysia."
Felipe Massa: "I'm obviously very disappointed as I had the sort of car capable of challenging for a podium today, but the incident in the first corner ruined my race. I tried to have a calm start and not take any risks, but was hit from behind after Kobayashi braked too late and there was nothing I could do to avoid being taken out of the race. It's a shame but there are a lot of positive things that the team can take from this weekend in terms of pace and reliability, so I'm just thinking about the next race and having a strong result there."
Max Chilton: "Today's race was by no means perfect but we have started the season with a two-car finish, and on my side a 14th place as well, so we have to be pleased with that. The start was obviously extremely concerning. I was on the grid preparing for the formation lap with the usual procedures and suddenly everything just cut out. At that point I was worried that my race was already over, but the Team did a fantastic job to push me off the grid and back to the garage where they reset the car and I was able to start the race from the pit lane.
"From that point on I knew we had an important job to do to get the car home, but at the same time do the hard work to we needed to be able to evaluate the car over a race distance. It was quite pleasing to be able to catch Ericsson in the process. We've learned an awful lot today that will stand us in good stead as we prepare for the next race in Malaysia and also to start developing the car for the longer term.
"After a tough time in testing when we did not achieve all the mileage we had hoped for, it's good to take home a 14th place finish from the first race of the season. It's a nice reward for all the hard work across the whole Team."
Jules Bianchi: "The problem at the start was really quite worrying and I did not expect to be able to race, but the Team got me to the garage and fought hard to get me back on track. I was six laps down when I did rejoin and of course I was never going to recover from that, but that was not the point.
"Being in the race - and finishing it - enabled us to gather the maximum amount of information and test various strategies for maximising the power unit. In many ways it was more like a test than a race for me, which was far from ideal, but as is the case in testing, the mileage was important and this will be crucial for the engineers to start moving us forward. Hopefully I will be able to benefit from this next time around. I am pleased that we have some reward for all the hard work and we look forward to better things in Malaysia."
Kamui Kobayashi: "That isn't how I wanted my first race back to go, and I'm sorry for the team and for Felipe that both our races ended early. I had a really good start but then into turn one I made contact with Felipe. From the initial data it looked like I had a brake system issue which obviously meant I couldn't do much about the contact and when we got the car back and looked at the information in much more detail it was clear that was the problem. After the race I went to the Stewards and they went through the data from the car and confirmed this was the case. We'll have a close look at what caused that problem and make sure we fix it.
"It's been a tough weekend for us, but we still have a lot more data that will help us keep improving, and the really positive thing is that we were still quite competitive, even with the issues we had on Friday. Race two is Malaysia, one of our team's home races, and we'll keep pushing there, just as we will all weekend."
Marcus Ericsson: "Even though my first race in F1 ended with a DNF I'm still proud of the way we fought today. It's been a very difficult weekend overall, one of the hardest in my whole career, but we still showed a bit of the potential we have in the first laps of the first stint when I passed Sutil and was running well in twelfth. My first ever live pitstop a Grand Prix went really well but then unfortunately an oil pressure problem forced us to stop - we don't know what caused that yet but if we hadn't had that I think we'd have finished ahead of the Marussias as I was pretty comfortable ahead of Chilton until the issue.
"Friday was tough, obviously, but we had a better Saturday and then today we started to show some of the race pace this car has. For the last few laps of the first stint I was driving with pretty flat spotted tyres but the rear was still behaving well and the Power Unit felt good. That's encouraging for the next race in Malaysia which is on a track I've raced at before and one I like, so I'm leaving Australia in a positive frame of mind and just want to get on with it again as soon as possible!"

Church thanks Kim Davis via billboard
Published 10:36 am, Friday, September 18, 2015
On Monday, Kentucky's Rowan County welcomed its county clerk, Kim Davis, back to work after she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Following a five-day stint in jail, Davis continued to avoid contradicting her religious views on marriage, instead relying on a work-around allowing deputies to award altered licenses, according to CNN.
In Midland, at least one church has extended support toward Davis' efforts. True-Lite Christian Fellowship's billboard on A Street at Dengar Ave., writes out "Thank you Kim Davis."
"I think she's made a moral stand for Christians, and for people," Rev. Roy Smith said. "Here's a lady, who's willing to sacrifice her freedom for her beliefs."
Though there is a swell of supporters in society, both for and against Davis' actions, Smith is not concerned with hurting feelings, only stating his beliefs.
"We're not in a day and age anymore, where we should concern ourselves with hurt feelings," Smith said. "We have to get out of this thing where we're afraid of hurting feelings, because there's a right and a wrong."
Though he's generally unconcerned with potential backlash, Smith is willing to have discussions if it does arise.
"My office is always open, anytime citizens of the community want to talk about what I said or what we believe, I'm open to discuss," Smith said. "But I will not be intimidated. As a Christian, the foundations of my beliefs are the Bible."

Recall Alert: 1.7 Million Hyundai and Kia Vehicles
Hyundai and Kia are recalling approximately 1.7 million vehicles because of a brake light problem, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports. According to the agency, 1,059,824 Hyundai vehicles are affected, including:
- 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson
- 2007-2010 Elantra
- 2007-2011 Santa Fe
- 2008-2009 Veracruz
- 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe
- 2011 Sonata
Its sister company Kia is recalling 623,658 vehicles, including:
- 2007-2010 Rondo and Sportage
- 2007-2011 Sorento
- 2007 Sedona
- 2010-2011 Soul
- 2011 Optima
In these vehicles, a faulty stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is depressed. This could cause other intermittent problems including: The driver may not be able to disable the cruise control, start the car using the push-button start feature or shift the vehicle in and out of Park. The electronic stability control malfunction light may also illuminate.
According to the automakers, no related injuries have been reported. "A switch that intermittently malfunctions does not affect a vehicle's brake performance," Jim Trainor Hyundai's senior group manager, product public relations, told Cars.com.
Kia will start notifying owners in May. When parts are available, Kia will send owners another notification, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch for free. Hyundai will begin notifying owners in June, and dealers will also replace the stop lamp switch for free. Owners can call Hyundai at 800-633-5151 or NHTSA's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info. Kia owners can call 800-333-4542.

German leftists and liberals who oppose
police access to telecommunications records demonstrated Monday and
said they had filed a petition by 30,000 people for a
constitutional-court review of the practice.
protests were held a day before new legislation comes into force
requiring companies to retain records for six months of the to and from
addresses of e-mail, time spent on the internet and phone numbers
dialled by customers.
Police require a judicial warrant to search the files during inquiries into terrorism and serious crime.
Libertarian groups, citing the telephone snooping in totalitarian
states, angrily opposed the data-retention legislation when it was
passed. Unlike many countries, Germany has not let police use such data
for decades.
At a rally Monday in the northern city of
Hamburg, opponents held a mock funeral for "the death of privacy."
Police said the demonstration by 200 people passed off without
violence. Organizers claimed 500 attended.
In the southern
justice capital of Karlsruhe, the Working Party on Data Retention filed
for an urgent injunction to stop the legislation on the grounds that it
was "obviously unconstitutional."
They said the 150-page
application against "surveillance without suspicion" was initially by
eight people, but was backed by 30,000 who had signed petitions.
Their names would be joined to the suit after processing by a Berlin
law office, making it the largest such appeal in modern German history.
"We are hoping for a quick ruling," said lawyer Meinhard
Starostik leading the group. But a court spokesman said judges would
not sit on the case Monday.
The activists said they would
also seek to overturn the March 2006 European Union data-retention
directive that required Germany to pass the legislation. (source)

Isoamyl alcohol changes the density or partitioning behavior of the organic phase, so that it centrifuges to the bottom of the tube and the aqueous phase remains on the top. Otherwise, classic phenol/chloroform partitioning would be a hassle as the organic phase would be on top.

An investigation is underway after six dead calves were dumped in woods on the outskirts of Derry.
Farming Minister Michelle O'Neill ordered the probe after a member of the public alerted her to the carcass dump at Knockbrack Wood last weekend via social media.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) said the six calf carcasses remain unidentified.
"DARD Veterinary Service is investigating the presence of the calf carcases at Knockbrack Wood, Derry, as DARD is the Competent Authority for enforcement of the Animal By-products (ABP) Legislation. Six calf carcasses were found at the site," the spokeswoman said.
They were not identified.
"Sporadic cases of the dumping of carcasses occur, but this is the first one from that locality this year."
The spokeswoman said precautions were taken during the removal of the animals removal to minimise the risk to public health.
"Arrangements are now being made for the disposal of the carcasses," she said.

Rel Dowdell discusses his new film 'Changing the Game'
Kam Williams | 7/11/2012, 10:54 a.m.
Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?
On a date, would I ever bungee jump, hang glide or go sky diving? The answer is a resounding "no!"
Are you ever afraid?
Definitely. Afraid of not trying.
Are you happy?
Definitely. For my family to see me reach my lifelong goal of making films after sacrificing so much of their own personal resources and time to get me to this point gives me a feeling of tremendous elation and satisfaction.
When was the last time you had a good laugh?
Someone sent me a Youtube clip of a news reporter from Augusta who had perfect speech and diction in his report until a fly flew into his mouth. After that, the dude turned straight hood yelling every expletive in the book. That was one funny clip. I still watch it from time to time.
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Watching marathons of "Unsung" on TV One.
What was the last book you read?
"Words of Wisdom" by Reverend Run. I was a big "Run's House" fan when it was on TV.
What music have you been listening to lately?
"When You're Near" by Guru from Jazzmatazz, Volume 1, and "Buck 'em Down" by Black Moon. Classics!
What is your favorite dish to cook?
I can't cook very well! But I try, and usually burn something new every day.
What excites you?
Hoping one day African Americans will pull together in the film industry like The Harlem Renaissance did back in the day, and help create opportunities for one another.
There's room for everyone to succeed if more of us would just give back. Fortunately, there are now some prominent African Americans in the industry trying do such things. Small risks can often pay big rewards.
What was the best business decision you ever made, and what was the worst?
The best business decision I made was to learn the craft of screenwriting and filmmaking in an academic environment because you need to learn all the nuances of the craft before embarking on making a film, especially an independent one where the margin of error is magnified exponentially.
If you don't learn the proper way to make films early, you'll pay for that mistake later on when opportunity comes. The worst business decision I made was not signing a back-end deal on my first film, "Train Ride." That film made a killing on DVD and rentals. The filmmaker should be rewarded for his or her efforts, which I was not.
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Someone who never gives up.
If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
My back end money for "Train Ride." "Show me the money!" like Rod Tidwell said in "Jerry Maguire."
What is your earliest childhood memory?
One of my uncles couldn't believe I could read at a very young age, so he pulled out a love letter he wrote to a girlfriend thinking I couldn't read it. When I started to read it and got to the good parts, he snatched it away.
If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
Probably a dolphin, because they can plan ahead and communicate in very efficient ways.
What key quality do you believe all successful people share?
What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
Learn the craft of filmmaking like it's a science, not a hobby. Take it very seriously. Know that others that paved the way before you have done it better than you and give them respect. When you do that, you can create your own voice.
How do you want to be remembered?
As a filmmaker who wasn't afraid to take risks, combine genres and look at the African American experience in film not just as the African American experience, but as the human experience.

|[en] A variety of techniques, including high-pressure unfolding monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, have been used to investigate the equilibrium folding properties of six single-domain antigen binders derived from camelid heavy-chain antibodies with specificities for lysozymes, beta-lactamases, and a dye (RR6). Various denaturing conditions (guanidinium chloride, urea, temperature, and pressure) provided complementary and independent methods for characterizing the stability and unfolding properties of the antibody fragments. With all binders, complete recovery of the biological activity after renaturation demonstrates that chemical-induced unfolding is fully reversible. Furthermore, denaturation experiments followed by optical spectroscopic methods and affinity measurements indicate that the antibody fragments are unfolded cooperatively in a single transition. Thus, unfolding/refolding equilibrium proceeds via a simple two-state mechanism (N <--> U), where only the native and the denatured states are significantly populated. Thermally-induced denaturation, however, is not completely reversible, and the partial loss of binding capacity might be due, at least in part, to incorrect refolding of the long loops (CDRs), which are responsible for antigen recognition. Most interestingly, all the fragments are rather resistant to heat-induced denaturation (apparent T(m) = 60-80 degrees C), and display high conformational stabilities (DeltaG(H(2)O) = 30-60 kJ mole(-1)). Such high thermodynamic stability has never been reported for any functional conventional antibody fragment, even when engineered antigen binders are considered. Hence, the reduced size, improved solubility, and higher stability of the camelid heavy-chain antibody fragments are of special interest for biotechnological and medical applications.

Hello Roselle! It was so good to hear from you recently. I understand you've had a rough year, so I'm hoping things will look up for you in 2013. It seems you're off to a fresh start with renewing the palette in your home. I always love WHITE as a soothing over-all color. But of course nothing looks prettier with white than a dash of pink.
Take care,

I've got 6 coming. My 2 boys(Chase & Colton) and myself will be there camping Friday afternoon and my parents(Barney & Janet) and my wife(Kim) will be there Saturday. I'll have a 5 gallon dutch oven for frying and also a smaller one with burners and tanks, a couple 6' folding tables, Mom's making some kind of dessert and the wife said she'd make cookies, a few coolers, ice.
Eric, I'm thinking we talked about this but I can't remember, what about fish breading? I've got a 5 pound bag of Andy's and my Mom said she'd make up a bunch of her's if we need it?
If y'all want to make a video of the fishing, Chase and me can hop on a couple boats or we even talked about bringing Dad's boat to use as a "camera boat?" We'd probably just be in the way though. We're up for anything when it comes to that.
Let me know if there's anything else we can bring.

Two men on trial for gang-rape and abduction in Delhi
Two men have been put on trial by a fast track court here for gang-raping a 22-year-old girl after abducting her with the help of two women.
New Delhi: Two men have been put on trial by a fast track court here for gang-raping a 22-year-old girl after abducting her with the help of two women.
The fast track court presided over by Additional Sessions Judge TR Naval also framed charges against two women, Shimla Devi and her daughter Shashi for abducting and abetting rape of the victim in East Delhi last year.
The court framed charges against accused Jitender and Sanju for the offences of abduction with an intent to compel the girl to marry one of them or to have illicit relations, gang-raping and threatening to kill her.
According to the police, the girl was abducted after the two women took her to a temple where the other accused were already present.
"I find that there is sufficient material on record which raises a grave suspicion against all the accused that they might have committed the offences punishable under section 366 read with Section 34 IPC, accused Jitender and Sanju have committed the offences punishable under section 376(2)(g) and 506(II) and Shimla and Shashi have committed offence under section 109/34 read with Section 376 IPC," the judge said.
All the four accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial in the case. The court has fixed April 4 for recording of the statement of prosecution witnesses beginning with the victim.
While Jitender is in judicial custody, the other three accused are out on bail.
According to the prosecution, the incident took place on the morning of April 4 last year when Shimla and Shashi asked the girl to accompany them to Sai Mandir in Jyoti Nagar area.
The girl, in her statement before a magistrate earlier, had said that accused Sanju and Jitender were also present near the temple in a car and gave her `prasad` after which she felt giddy.
The judge noted that she had stated the accused took her to Karkardooma Court and took her signatures on a register and threatened to kill her brother, if she raised an alarm.
She was then taken to a house in GTB Enclave where she was gang-raped by the accused and they had also taken her obscene photographs and made videos, she had said adding that she was kept in the flat till May 24, 2012.
The court noted that among other witnesses, Jitender`s wife has also levelled allegations against him and has prima facie supported the prosecution case.

Let's kick this holiday week off with a guest post, shall we? I was lucky to be a guest at friend and fellow blogger Megan's wedding in October. Following that special day, she and her new husband went on a two week honeymoon in Italy and shares some of that trip's deliciousness with us today.
As part of our food tour with Italian Days, we visited Villa San Donnino and learned how Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena is produced.
Balsamic vinegar that receives the DOP seal is made from only one ingredient: cooked grape must. The must comes from Trebbiano grapes and sometimes Lambrusco or other regional grapes.
The grapes are crushed and the juice is poured into a large vat to be cooked.
It is boiled and concentrated and then aged in a set of barrels (usually five or six of them) called a battery. The must starts off in the largest barrel, and as it ages, it decreases in volume and gets poured into the next barrel. The smallest barrel holds the mature vinegar, which develops a deep black color from oxidation.
The vinegar has to age for at least 12 years, and then the Consortium decides whether it meets standards. If it does, the vinegar is bottled. There is only one bottle shape that is used for all balsamic vinegar that gets the DOP seal from the Consortium — it makes it really easy to know if you're looking at the real thing.
Each set of barrels yields only 10 bottles of vinegar, and the Consortium keeps one to ensure the quality of the next batch. Balsamic vinegar gets the nickname "black gold" because it is so expensive and time-consuming to produce and there's little pay off. The vinegar can be aged even further and after 25 years, it can be labeled extra vecchio. This is the sort of balsamic you want to drizzle on some really good vanilla ice cream or gelato.
After the tour we gathered around to taste some different balsamic vinegars including the 12-year and 25-year Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena. But we started with plain-old balsamic vinegar made with wine vinegar and caramel color. This was to give us a base for tasting the good balsamic. We next tried a 6-year balsamic, which is produced there. (It's more profitable than the DOP 12-year or 25-year balsamic vinegars, as it doesn't have to go through the lengthy aging or get approved by the Consortium.)
The 12-year and 25-year balsamic vinegars were worlds better than the other two. You could tell just by how thick and caramelly they looked.
We tried a balsamic jam on fresh ricotta. Ricotta is a bi-product of making Parmigiano-Reggiano. The whey left from production is re-cooked (ri-cotta). Ricotta in Italy is like none I've ever had in my life. We were eating it by the spoonful. It's not at all gritty or watery like it is here. We were both instantly obsessed.
Then we had balsamic vinegar drizzled over vanilla gelato. It doesn't get much better than that!
You can read more about this food tour and our whole trip to Italy over on my blog.
A huge thank you to Meghan for letting me guest post… and I hope she is having an awesome time on her trip!

Meghan and Megan, I enjoyed this post so much. A huge fan of balsamic vinegar, I've never tasted any that's been aged for nearly that long. Maybe I better not – might make me not want to settle for anything less, and I can't afford that!

Richardson best pick for prez
Here's a flattering column by Bill Clark of the "Columbia Daily Tribune." Honestly, I was surprised to see it. I hope Missourians continue to jump on the Bill Richardson bandwagon.
Richardson best pick for prez, outside of yours truly, of course
In the column, Clark lists the reasons why Richardson is qualified to lead the U.S. inluding the fact that he, "lowered the income tax and tax on food, yet has balanced the budget and has given New Mexico one of the highest budget reserves in the United States."

Sharks forward Ryane Clowe became the latest locked-out NHL player to seek refuge in the ECHL after signing a contract Tuesday to play with the San Francisco Bulls.
Clowe began practicing with the team last week, but at the time said he was not sure he wanted to suit up for games. The latest development means he could be in the lineup as early as Friday night when the Bulls face the Stockton Thunder at the Cow Palace.
A Bulls spokesman said Clowe wanted to use the next few days to determine if he was ready for game action. If he does not play, Clowe could serve as an assistant on the bench.
"We're excited to have a player of Ryane's caliber join the team," Bulls general manager and coach Pat Curcio said in a prepared statement. "We look forward to having him around the locker room, as he gets back into game shape. The rest of the players on the team will have a chance to learn from his work ethic."
Clowe becomes the second NHL player with the Bulls, a Sharks affiliate. On Monday, the team signed Edmonton Oiler defenseman Theo Peckham.
Eight Sharks have been playing in Europe during the lockout, which began Sept. 15, but Clowe wanted to stay in the San Jose area. While he is the first current Shark to sign with the NHL, former teammate Devin Setoguchi inked a similar deal with the Ontario Reign and is expected to play when that team visits the Cow Palace on Saturday night.
Allen Crabbe scored 28 points and Justin Cobbs added 22 as Cal's men's basketball team held off San Francisco State 89-80 in an exhibition game at Haas Pavilion.
Senior guard Brandon Smith scored 14 for the Bears before injuring his left shoulder midway through the second half. Smith's status for Cal's opener Sunday night at home against Cal State Bakersfield was unknown.
Australian Taj Burrow got past Matt Wilkinson to take the 2012 Coldwater Classic title in Santa Cruz. He outscored Wilkinson, a fellow Australian, 13.10-12.70.
"I love it (Streamer Lane) for sure, definitely," Burrows, rated No. 6 on the World Tour, said with a laugh. "The wave was so much fun in the end. I was definitely impressed. You can get two or three huge turns and some really good ramps too, because I like the way it wedges together. So, it's a really sick wave. It's high performance. I liked it."
Casie Cathrea of Livermore has a one-stroke lead at the California Women's Amateur Championship at the Quail Lodge Golf Club in Carmel. The 2009 champion shot a 2-over 73. Renata Young of Antioch and Yoonhee Kim of San Ramon both shot 76 and are among those tied for fourth.

Afi-Odelia Scruggs: Inspires Us to Write
Greetings AfriGeneas Writers:
The Internet is a wonderful tool. Through it I found AfriGeneas, the web's beacon to the history and culture of Africans in the Americas. Its posters piqued my interest. Their research on family ancestors were fascinating; each one is unique and an important chapter in America's history.
Author, Afi-Odelia Scruggs has been a frequent contributor to AfriGeneas. I've been out of touch with Afi, so I was delighted to find several of her articles that I want to share with you. Her words are beautifully shaped and clear. Her perspectives are compelling and balanced.
She writes, "This isn't a blog about genealogy, although genealogy might be discussed from time to time. This blog is about creating a family narrative by collecting and sharing family stories.
You can find her words and an excerpt from her book "Claiming Kin" at the link below.
WHY WE STILL NEED FEBRUARY: Posted on The root:
The Washington Post: What Kind of Black Are We?
Scruggs underlines how "American" Black Americans really are. Her commentary below will hit home to Blacks who share the experience below. It's a personal touchstone to my five-year travels in Egypt and my African friends in Europe and the US.
"For now, we are African Americans, with more emphasis on the latter part of that identity than we might care to acknowledge.
Enjoy Afi-Odelia Scruggs. She will inspire you to write your family history.

Deeply nested menus are bad UI. SuSE and Mandrake tend to violate this policy quite a bit. Red Hat 8.0 does not. Good menu UI design is very difficult. I watched Red Hat struggle with this issue in successive betas leading up to Red Hat 8.0 - they changed around their menu design quite a bit. Right now, they have a pretty good one. Not bad for their first time out trying something like this. Deep nesting means that you can include lots and lots of programs, under various categories. Shallow nesting requires that you really think hard about those category names, and limit the number of them. It also means that you can't have every available program listed in your menu - there just isn't enough room. This means that hard choices must be made. Example: Red Hat 8.0 has one and only one X terminal emulator program in its menu, and it is not on the top level, because newbies don't use the CLI all that much - it is available in a sub directory - System Tools. Red Hat made a tough choice and picked only one of the many X terminal programs available. But the result is a really clean menu and UI. (Note: Red Hat chose konsole for KDE and gnome-terminal for Gnome and xterm for Windowmaker. In the respective menus, none of these names are used - just the word "Terminal", which is located in the same spot in each menu layout, regardless of whether KDE or Gnome.) On the other hand, the supposed desktop champion Mandrake 9.0 has an entire subfolder devoted to X terminals, and you can choose from about six or seven different ones. This is great for power users, but it is totally confusing and pointless for newbies. Lesson? Debian Desktop should pick only one X terminal to put into the menu (my choice would be a well configured xterm but I am flexible) to make it easy for the newbie. The power user can add other X terminal programs to the menu if he doesn't like Debian's default choice. Note: these other terminal emulators will of course be installed and waiting, ready for use, they just won't necessarily show up in the default menu under KDE, Gnome, etc. >> You can bolt Debian menus onto the side... but frankly I'd just drop >> their menus (and KDE's) and use our own by default. (At least this >> would be equal-opportunity anti-desktop action on our part ;-) > > I hope we can come up with a better solution than that (unless our menus > are equally good). > As stated above, UI design for menus is very tough stuff. However, that said, I do believe that Debian Desktop can come up with better menu layouts and design than the defaults which come with Gnome, KDE, etc. This is one of the areas where I would like to contribute my efforts.
