Their result for The What Is Your Orgasm Face? Test ...
The Happy Dreamy
Your orgasm face is 54 passive and 46 aggressive!
The only downside is, more than likely, you're boring in bed. While you're "glowing" and "smiling" and doing all that shit, we're doing all the work! Or if you actually give us a breather, the sex is over the minute you "get your"s. Forget if we're even still aroused.
Try not to be so selfish, and put more energy into your sex. You might be "Happy" when you reach climax now, but aren't you curious what it'd feel like to be "euphoric?"

Lady Gaga-Luc Carl's engagement on the cards!
It all began again between the two back in 2008 when they rekindled the interest in each other after having broken off from a four years relationship before that. The duo had been in a relationship for a couple of years, which was before Lady Gaga had reportedly found fame as an international pop star.
Going by reports in popular tabloids, the duo had split just before Lady Gaga had achieved global success as a global pop star after the release of her first album. However, the couple has now decided to get things at a more serious level and thus the engagement is being speculated. As for the wedding date, things on that front are not yet on the agenda for the couple and thus it seems that Lady Gaga"s fans have to just wait for things to develop on that front.

Walker didn't play much, no. But I don't think he should ever have played at all - and I'm an Auckland fan.
And Bradburn batted 8, so maybe his batting did come into the selection equation, but he was the only spinner chosen in the team in the last Test he played. Should have been Wiseman instead, IMO.

An outsider with strange powers, a human who understands and forces beyond their control….no, we're not talking about "Twilight." Instead, it's "Beautiful Creatures," Warner Bros. stab at the YA pie that Summit and Lionsgate have conquered heartily with the vampire series and "The Hunger Games" respectively. Now it's time for the major studio play — do they have what it takes?
Well, it doesn't get much more obvious who they're courting by using Florence + The Machine's "Seven Devils" to power the trailer (reminder: it was only this summer that she gave a new song to "Snow White & The Huntsman"). Now toss in a handsome young man, emoting in the rain, a passionate kiss and all kinds of supernatural stuff and the ingredients are all there. But honestly, this trailer is a bit of a mess because even by the end it's still not clear what it's actually about. In case you're wondering, Alice Englert plays Lena, who must decide on her sixteenth birthday whether to use her sorcery powers and join the side of the good or the side of evil. Confusing things is the tousled hair of Alden Ehrenreich and her cousin Ridley, played by Emmy Rossum, who wants her to go bad and is by far the most compelling presence in this thing.
Based on the book by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (of which there are three more), "Beautiful Creatures" opens on February 13th. Watch below.

In essence, an Army policy implemented in 2005 and expanded this year lowered the bar for enlisted soldiers with the rank of E-4 to gain the rank of sergeant, or E-5, by diminishing the vetting process. According to more than a half dozen current and former Army sergeants interviewed by Salon, the policy has produced sergeants who are not ready to lead. In some cases, soldiers were promoted even after being denied advancement by their own unit commanders. While awarding a promotion once required effort on the part of a commander, those interviewed say, the Army's current policy actually requires effort to prevent a promotion, and has had negative consequences on the battlefield.

"You Have to Be Able to Play the Game" — Alton's After-Show
by Maria Russo in Shows, October 22nd, 2014To survive — and thrive — on Cutthroat Kitchen, it's not enough to be able to work quickly under pressure or to deliver a well-seasoned plate; chefs must be able to strategize their every move, budget their $25,000 bank account and bid productively with three rounds of competition in mind. Fans saw what happened when a contestant didn't take that approach during tonight's Heat 3 of the Superstar Sabotage tournament. For Chef Johnny Iuzzini, it didn't matter how much he spent during Rounds 1 and 2 so long as he advanced to Round 3, while Chef Eric Greenspan frugally saved his money for charity — until the last round, when Chef Johnny was forced to compete with only $100 and Chef Eric was armed with a full $25,000.
"Once you're down to $100, you can't fight back. It doesn't matter how good you are," Alton Brown revealed to judge Simon Majumdar on the host's latest After-Show. "This is a game, and you have to be able to play the game. And if you walk into a final round with a $100 bill in your hand, you're going to have a really tough time winning regardless of how good you are." Thanks to the force of his full funds behind him, Chef Eric was able to saddle Chef Johnny — a famed pastry chef — with a duo of sabotages during the lemon bar test, and that maneuver ultimately set up Chef Eric for the win. "Eric said it was just now even," Alton told Simon of their Round 3 matchup.

John Howard jokes that he'll probably never have to exercise the duties of his newly elected position.
Howard, who has served on Lancaster City Council since 1982, was elected mayor pro tempore at Tuesday's meeting. He will assume mayoral duties in Mayor Joe Shaw's absence.
But that's the catch – Shaw is hardly absent.
Shaw said he's missed just two council meetings in the nearly 30 years he's been mayor, and Howard is quite aware of that.

Manchester United preserved their seven-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, defeating West Bromwich Albion 2-0 as the champions scraped a 4-3 win at Norwich City.
United manager Alex Ferguson was the centre of pre-match attention at Old Trafford for an outspoken attack on Newcastle United counterpart Alan Pardew, but his side got down to business quickly and went ahead in the ninth minute.
The scorer wore a blue and white shirt, however, with West Brom defender Gareth McAuley inadvertently shinning the ball into his own goal after Ashley Young drove a low cross across the face of goal.
Former United goalkeeper Ben Foster tipped a Young shot onto the crossbar, but United were not able to breathe easily until substitute Robin van Persie curled a glorious shot into the top-left corner in the last minute.
City lost Samir Nasri to a first-half red card at Norwich but edged an open-ended encounter thanks in no small part to Edin Dzeko, who scored twice and might have had a hat-trick.
The Bosnian, who has had to become accustomed to a role on the substitutes' bench this season, struck twice inside the opening four minutes to put City in control at Carrow Road.
But Norwich hit back through a deflected Anthony Pilkington free-kick and the visitors were then dealt a blow when Nasri was sent off for aiming a head-butt at Sebastien Bassong.
Sergio Aguero's deft, lobbed finish restored City's two-goal cushion in the 50th minute and although Russell Martin headed in for Norwich, Dzeko made it 4-2.

Global Window & Door Demand to Grow 6.8% Annually Through 2015
Significantly exceeding the pace of growth registered between 2005 and 2010, global demand for windows and doors is forecast to rise 6.8 percent per year through 2015, according to a new study from the Freedonia Group. With the gains exaggerated by an extremely weak 2010 base in the developed world–particularly in the United States–demand is expected to reach $192 billion by 2015.
The Cleveland-based market research firm says demand for windows and doors in the residential building construction market will outpace demand in the nonresidential building construction market, noting that in most developed countries the residential market was far more adversely impacted by the recession in 2009 and 2010. Through 2015, demand for energy-efficient windows and doors will rise faster than the overall market because of increasing consumer awareness and government support in the form of tax credits. Sales of blast-resistant doors will also see above-average gains, especially in the nonresidential market in developed countries due to persisting security concerns.
China, the world's largest national window and door market, will expand its share of global demand from 27 percent in 2010 to 30 percent in 2015. Continuing rapid economic growth and industrialization, as well as an increase in the average size of a housing unit in the country, will bolster gains. Although demand for windows and doors in China will expand at a robust 9.2 percent per year, this will represent a major slowdown in comparison to the performance of the past decade.
The U.S. market for windows and doors will post a strong recovery and expand 7.7 percent per year through 2015. This follows a decline of about 25 percent between 2008 and 2010 when the country experienced a major economic recession that was spurred by the downturn in the housing sector, Freedonia notes. Demand in Japan and Western Europe will also post solid recoveries after declines in 2009 and 2010, although neither experienced problems as significant as the United States did in those years.
Plastic is projected to be the fastest growing material for window and door products through 2015. Gains for plastic windows and doors will be supported by continuing demand for vinyl windows because of their low cost, durability, minimal maintenance requirements and superior energy efficiency. Plastic windows will account for 37 percent of global window demand in 2015. Fiberglass entry doors will capture market share from wood and steel entry doors.

Supergiant video game publisher Electronic Arts has acquired casual game maker PopCap for $650 million in cash and $100 million in stock. The deal includes a multi-year earn out bonus, but there were no details released about it.
PopCap is an appealing target for almost any game company because it has several extremely popular games that can be turned into franchises. The company also has a large number of regular users who purchase games from the company, and it is expanding into social gaming with games like Bejeweled Blitz. It's a rare company that draws all kinds of gamers — social, casual, mobile and hardcore.
PopCap cofounder John Vechey said in an interview with VentureBeat that Electronic Arts felt like a great match because John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts, is very knowledgeable about games and understands what PopCap is good at. Barry Cottle, head of EAi, the company's mobile and casual game studio, said the deal is a smart one and that EA did not pay an excessive amount for PopCap.
Cottle said PopCap is one of the dominant companies in casual games with fast growth on both Facebook and mobile games. The company makes more than $100 million in revenues a year and is growing at a 30 percent rate. Sales of Bejeweled made up about 40 percent of its revenues, and about 20 percent came from Plants vs Zombies, PopCap chief executive Dave Roberts told VentureBeat. But the company was born in 2000, long before the era of social gaming.
Casual gamers have downloaded PopCap's games — like Plants vs. Zombies and Peggle — more than 150 million games. Around 80 percent of PopCap's revenue was on mobile devices like the iPhone and on websites like Facebook.
PopCap is the second acquisition for Electronic Arts this month. The company is buying social gaming company Ohai — the company's second social gaming purchase (it bought Playfish for $400 million after earn outs) — sources told VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi yesterday.
Vechey said PopCap considered going public and started talking to a lot of potential partners at the same time. The company recently acquired San Francisco-based social game developer ZipZapPlay and said it was planning to go public later this year. It was one of PopCap's more aggressive moves as the company aimed to be more competitive in social games on Facebook, where social gaming company Zynga dominates.
PopCap felt that Electronic Arts was a good fit because it was publishing on the same devices that PopCap was releasing games for and was also making similar casual games, Vechey said.
PopCap has been adapting to the rapid rise of Facebook games and has more than 16 million monthly active users on the site. It has 4.1 million daily active users, or those who come back once a day, and it ranks as the No. 5 U.S.-based social gaming company behind Zynga, Wooga (spelled wooga by the company), Playdom (acquired by Disney) and Electronic Arts, according to AppData.
The Seattle, Wash.-based company was founded in 2000 raised $22.5 million in October 2009.

Josh Hamilton press conference scheduled
The Angels haven't actually used the name Josh Hamilton in any press release yet, but they have announced a press conference for Saturday morning at 11:30 for a "major announcement."
Hamilton is having his physical today, so presumably that's all that stands in the way of the five-year, $125-million deal being announced.
The press conference, to be held at the ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney, is not open to the public, but it will be televised on Fox Sports West and MLB Network.
I expect a few more media members there than at Wednesday's gathering for Joe Blanton, et al.

Description: This new revision includes a JST cable and also fixes the TX/RX swap from the last revision. Now you can use an FTDI correctly. We are also including a 16-pin header instead of a 40-pin header (only 16 pins are necessary).
This kit is a re-hash of Nuxie's FunCount frequency counting kit. It includes everything you need to build a frequency counter capable of measuring frequencies from 1Hz to over 6MHz. The measured frequency is displayed on a 16x2 black on green LCD.
Our new design is based on the popular ATmega328. The ATmega comes pre-programmed with both the frequency counting firmware, and a serial bootloader, so you can program it as you would an Arduino. If you want to program it via Arduino, you'll need a FTDI Basic Breakout. Unused pins of the ATmega328 are broken out for all your custom firmware desires.
The ATmega328 runs at 16MHz, and should be able to reliably count frequencies up to around 6.4MHz (assuming a 50% duty cycle). Voltage supplied to the kit should be 5VDC. The voltage input on the frequency pin should not exceed the supplied voltage, and should not go below 0V.
The kit includes a 3-pin JST male connector, so you can use this wire to deliver +5V, ground and the frequency signal to the Counter. You'll also be able to piggy-back the counter onto our Function Generator Kit (see below).
Hi everyone,
I am trying to measures a frequency to the second decimal point. ex using my fluke 115 it measure 978.7 hz, Does this device will be able to get a 987.7X Hz reading? Thanks
Hello everyone,
I need to detect a specific frequency (770 Hz) from the ambient sound. Can I use this board with a sound sensor (like this; https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12642) and detect the desired frequency from the sound. Thanks for your help.
Nice project. Easy to build. If you need instructions, maybe you should consider a different hobby. I bought this to use as an embedded counter for an SN76477 sound generator. It works very well in the audio range. I tested it up to 4MHz using a calibrated function generator and it tracked just fine when the input was properly terminated. I saw an error of less than a quarter percent over the range I tested it. Cleaning the board is a must. To build it, just look at the values of the parts in the kit and look at the board. It is very clear how to put it together. Lack of socket and hardware is likely what put this project under 30 bucks and I am fine with that. I have sip strip and hardware at my prototyping bench and was more than willing to use it. Don't be discouraged by the genius that is tossing this one into their scrap bin. That person should give up on electronics and get their old job back. No shame in carrying a bucket. Even Kings have to pee. And that should be plenty challenging for a person of your particular skill set. This is a great little counter for embedded projects and it is easy to assemble. If it had been much more than this price I might not have bought it simply because I was looking for cheap and easy. Thank you Sparkfun. I appreciate your work in bringing us useful tools like this.
rsp: This is a nice arduino style concept demonstration kit, but not really much of a frequency counter.
For a more realistic (while still simple) frequency counter reference design, try this:
Ummm yea, I ordered that kit 9 months ago. Out of the box you had to use jumper wires because of a mistake with the PCB. I wasn't surprised when pads started lifting during soldering. I emailed and complained. I was told I must have soldered it incorrectly - I work in a PCB fabrication and assembly shop. Made me pay for a replacement PCB. When I discovered the PIC included was lacking a program, I didn't even bother to complain. Just chalked it up to getting ripped off.
Jeez - I feel like Ralphie with his Little Orphan Annie decoder ring when he discovered it was just an ad to drink Ovaltine. Come on, Sparkfun how hard would it be to include a socket for the chip and one sheet of paper with at least a pictorial of the completed product? I don't think I'm even going to bother building this - it's going right into my junk parts bin. As Ralphie said, "Sonovab*tch!"
Wow! (not the good kind of wow, either). I have to echo the comments from mcolan. It was very surprising that there were no instructions (except for Nuxie's earlier and different configuration), no socket for the chip and LCD? No standoffs for the LCD and PCB? Well, an order to Digi-Key can fix that, but still as mentioned for a small incremental extra cost some needed additions should have been provided.
Is this the same as the serial lcd kit with different firmware?
Yeah, firmware is most of the difference between the two. The layouts vary a bit, namely the 3-pin JST connectors have different pins broken out (frequency in vs. serial in). The schematics, though, are really similar. The Serial LCD kit firmware would probably work on this kit without needing any modifications.
just a though how much different is this board from your serial enabled lcd that uses a arduino.?
A couple of very inexpensive additions would transform this from a flimsy product to quaity: 1. A socket for the chip. Really? You want your average hobbyist to be soldering a $6 chip in directly, risking damage, when you could supply a socket for 20 cents or less? 2. Spacers, screws, nuts to attach the boards at the corners 3. Perhaps a low-profile socket for the display to allow it to be changed 4. Pins to allow the FTDI to be used These would cost maybe a dollar more on the cost. I'd pay it to have a more complete kit.
The board ought to be reconfigured to have the two JST connectors have the same pinouts. That's kind of a sloppy error.
Some simple instructions - at least a photo of what it is supposed to look like when finished, and some hints on using it - would be useful. It's kind of confusing that you supply a second JST when it's not obviously needed, yet you don't supply more essential parts.
No assembly instructions?
Hmm… Could I hook a mic up to the input and use this as a tuner?
Not a bad little kit, at least if you get bored with it you have a half-decent Arduino dev board. See my review at: http://wp.me/pQmjR-1id
Careful! This device has two identical JST connectors, but the pinouts (+5V, GND, Freq In) are different on each! Double-check before you plug anything in.
so, you have a frequency counter and a function generator.
all you need now is an LC meter.
put everything together and you have a nice tool for frequency, inductance and capacitance measurements…
im sure that with a switch and some simple programing you could through in there a basic Volt meter.
throw it all ina shiny box…
I would buy that.
I wish SFE would make this stuff too, because they'd most likely sell it for the best price. But in the meantime try this for a siimple LC meter kit; it comes complete with case:
We can check into it.
This is a nice arduino style concept demonstration kit, but not really much of a frequency counter.
For a more realistic (while still simple) frequency counter reference design, try this:
Based on 2 ratings:
Easy to assemble. Works as advertised. Excellent customer service when I needed it.
I wished the kit had a sip receiving header to mate with the sip pin header used to connect the two boards. Would make it easier to take apart to replace a failed component. For that reason, I am considering returning it and requested an RMA. After all that, I probably won't, but for the sake of a 25 cent part (it would cost much more in single pc purchase) this would get 5 stars. Very nicely packaged.

Ex Child Demon Plays Pat Nixon
I was thrilled to hear that Patty McCormack--who brilliantly played evil little Rhoda Penmark in the 1956 camp classic The Bad Seed--is portraying the marginally less scary Pat Nixon in the imminent movie of Frost/Nixon.
I interviewed Patty onstage at the Castro Theater in San Francisco a bunch of years ago and loved getting to talk to her about her slice of Hollywood history. Alas, the evening was full of zany, degrading mishaps that brought things down for both of us. When we first came onstage, our microphones didn't work—always an ominous sign. Once they were fixed, the overzealous organizer decided I should talk on the phone to actress Carol Lynley, who had some tenuous connection to Patty--though it took a while to connect with her and then you couldn't hear her through the mics! I went back to interviewing the guest of honor and in addressing the delicate plight of child stars, I mentioned that the night before, over dinner, Patty and I had discussed JonBenet Ramsey's sad scenario and how it could have been prevented. The audience started booing. (This was somehow too politically incorrect for a crowd that had come to watch drag queens mock a movie about a child murderess. God, I hate San Francisco.)
Then, even Patty turned on me at one point and and answered a gossipy question with, "I'm certainly not going to tell YOU that!" What's weirder, the audience cheered, strangely thrilled that they had paid to hear dish, but they weren't going to get any! And then the organizer had one more surprise up his sleeve--I was now going to have to present a short movie Patty was in and introduce the filmmakers, by which point I was nearing collapse and could barely read their names off the sheet I was handed.
But I still love Patty McCormack!

Nunez turned himself in Friday morning. Advertisement Nunez was accompanied by his attorney. He has been booked with two counts of aggravated rape. An NOPD spokesperson says he's accused of sexually assaulting two women in New Orleans last September.At a Friday afternoon bond hearing, Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said Nunez posed a flight risk. Magistrate judge Harry Cantrell then signed an order for Nunez to be held without bond. Nunez's attorney (who you really should get a look at in this video) disputed his client's designation as a flight risk, but to no avail. The state successfully argued that his employment with the Saints posed a flight risk, even though the Saints claimed he was not an employee. Another hearing is set for March 7th.

Concerns still remain
The U.S. iron ore division should return to normalcy in the second half after harsh winters impacted volumes in the first half of 2014.
Receive e-mail alerts for new research on BHP:
Interested in BHP?
Don't miss the next report.
Continued improvements in the labor market, construction activity, and motor vehicle production is expected to support the North American steelmaking market. Since Cliffs Natural Resources makes the bulk of its revenues from this market, it would lead to more stable revenues for the company.
China is another important market for the company. However, it remains a little tricky. Weaker-than-expected demand coupled with oversupply of iron ore should lead to depressed iron ore prices. Investors interested in investing can track indicators like real estate sales, iron ore port inventory, steel production, and China's Purchasing Managers Index (or PMI) to see how they're tracking, which will give a direction for iron ore demand situation there. It's important to note that these will soon be available on the Market Realist website. However, management seems to be quite upbeat about the China's demand situation. They cited China's commitment to achieve targeted real gross domestic product (or GDP) growth of ~7.5%.
The liquidity position for the company remains comfortable for now, with the renegotiation of the credit line. The company should be able to honor the renegotiated debt covenants.
Operational improvement, but concerns remain
The cost cutting efforts of the management are praiseworthy, especially the structural changes in mine plan, logistics, and reduction in contractor hours for Bloom Lake and Asia Pacific iron ore. The cash cost guidance per ton has been reduced by $5 for these two divisions. These measures would also help improve the cost profile for the mines for the long term.
Some issues of concern still remain that could have a long-term impact on the company's performance:
Iron ore pricing is a concern for all Cliffs Natural Resources' (CLF) peers like Rio Tinto (RIO), BHP Billiton (BHP) and Vale SA (VALE). However, a lower cost profile should support players like RIO and BHP in the current pricing environment. The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) is also exposed to the iron ore industry.

By Jesse Carey
August 12, 2014
Jesse Carey is an editor at RELEVANT and a mainstay on the weekly RELEVANT Podcast. He lives in Virginia Beach with his wife and two kids.
Jeremy Courtney is the founder and executive director of the Preemptive Love Coalition, a group that provides heart surgeries to children and assistance to displaced families in Iraq. Jeremy and his family have spent the last seven years living in Iraq, setting up pediatric cardiac training programs to give kids in the country the life-saving surgeries they need through PLC.
We recently spoke with Courtney about the recent surge in violence in Iraq, what's behind the group known as ISIS and how Christians can help.
How would you describe who ISIS is and what they want?
Early on, we were among the first people to try and say, "Let's not simply call this ISIS." Let's try and be clear that this whole group of people that are advancing across Iraq are not one monolithic, ideologically-driven group.
This group—that is probably better called Sunni militants—are a conglomerate of disaffected young men from impoverished communities that have been systematically cut off from the Shia government, and from the provisions that they should have been providing over the last couple years.
There were Sunni sit-ins that were largely peaceful for over a year in the region of Anbar. These were people that were just demanding that the Sunnis, their women and others be let out of prison. Many of the Sunnis had been summarily rounded up and held without charges. All this really set off when the government dispersed that protest, and they turned violent.
In addition to a lot of disaffected, impoverished Sunni men who have thrown their weight behind this movement, there are a lot of foreign fighters. They're not all Middle Eastern, by any means.
Is there a religious influence that has led to some of the violence we're seeing?
I don't think doctrine alone is driving the actions, but poverty and political disenfranchisement and emasculation. And when things like this rear their ugly head in response, it's the religious rhetoric that gives an internal justification for it, so that some of these guys can feel good about what they're doing.
"I don't think all these people are deeply indoctrinated in ways that cannot be rolled back."
Do you think part of the long-term solutions to ending the violence will have to do with new social policies?
If the social policies are solved, a lot of people will give up the fight. Because they'll go back home, and they'll sit down with their wife and kids, and they'll have food on the table. The young men that they love—who genuinely did nothing wrong—will be let out of prison.
Once they get those things back in their lives, they don't actually have a religious motivation for doing any of this. They've been motivated by social issues, and they turned to a certain brand of religion to give the sort of cover story for it.
I don't think all these people are deeply indoctrinated in ways that cannot be rolled back.
There's been an awareness campaign on social media involving the Arabic symbol for "N" (which was painted on the doors of local homes belonging to Christians/Nazarenes by militants) that you helped launch. Have you been surprised to see how that's grown in the last week?
Yeah, we have been surprised. What started as a really visceral, emotional, angry moment in my living room in Iraq with a red marker has since grown across the world—reached the Vatican, reached the White House, marches all across America. And that has been humbling, but it doesn't really matter until such time as it helps my friends on the ground.
As you're reading how this is spreading on social media, are there any misconceptions you'd want to dispel?
There are a couple of things we've spent our life trying to live out and clarify in the middle of this kind of violence for years.
One of them would be that Muslims are suffering tremendously alongside Christians and Yazidis inside Iraq at the hands of ISIS right now. Muslims themselves are suffering tremendously because they are deemed "not Muslim enough" by this small, psychotically acting group of people.
For everything I've said about the social side of things, it has gained steam. It has gained some momentum. I think the longer these people stay in, the longer brainwashing actually can occur and the longer hearts actually can change to actually believe and embrace some of this doctrinal stuff.
Muslims are suffering tremendously, and that should change the way we think about Muslims. That should change the way we relate to Muslims in the grocery store here in America. That should change the way we as churches reach out to the mosque across the street.
We should not look at them askew, with suspicion. We should practice preemptive love and reach out to our Muslim neighbors because they've suffered greatly under this alongside Christians.
I want to keep pushing the conversation about American evangelical churches' relationship with violence. I think we have long been patriotic, nationalistic and have wanted to support the troops and be loving to men and women in uniform and have never wanted to repeat the Vietnam homecoming for those who served abroad.
I think those very good, healthy desires have often led us to support, prefer, prioritize military, violent, hawkish interventions when they weren't our last resort—when we could have promoted other options and stayed out longer and not been quite so partisan and thought more creatively as a church about how we would respond in these places. I want to keep suggesting that the Church reevaluate and reconsider and listen instead of these knee-jerk violent responses.
What do you think the U.S.'s role, if any, should be in the immediate, while this violence seems to be spreading?
It really is hard for me—I have not gone on the record anywhere and said I'm in favor of the airstrikes, but it does seem to have halted the advance. It does seem to have spared perhaps tens of thousands of lives and the fall of another major city.
And while I don't celebrate it—I don't think we should celebrate the destruction of our enemies through violence—I am grateful for the ways U.S. intervention, both humanitarian and military, have apparently staved off the existential destruction of a couple different ethnic religious minority groups.
How can people help with what Preemptive Love is doing?
We're raising money under one banner for the relief efforts of persecuted Christians and religious minorities orphaned and displaced at Preemptivelove.org/response.
We continue to raise money and have a heart surgery team there right now for the next four weeks continuing to do heart surgeries in real time—two or three life-saving heart surgeries a day. We estimate that it costs us about $250 right now to provide heart surgery, and we estimate that it is actually going to end up costing us about $250 per family to provide some of the relief packages we hope to do.
Are there any particular prayer points you suggest for Christians to focus on?
"Naturally we want to see what we can do to reach into Iraq in this moment. But the other side of it ... a real prayer point is that we can be changed in this moment."
There's something in this conversation about removing the log in our own eye before removing the speck in our brother's eye.
I think naturally we want to see what we can do to reach into Iraq in this moment. But the other side of it ... a real prayer point is that we can be changed in this moment.
We can look at the suffering of Christians in Iraq and rather than blame it on Muslims, we can try—and it'll take prayer, and it'll take reflection, and it'll take preaching and slow, methodical teaching in churches—to reconsider how we got to this place. How we voted for the things we voted for. How we did not listen to the voices that were warning us about these exact things.
We can hope, and we can train ourselves, and we can discipline ourselves so that 40 or 50 years from now, we're not still having the same broken policy and posture.

I appreciate this article as it re-humanises the issue.
However, I do question the underlying view present in this statement: "they'll go back home, and they'll sit down with their wife and kids, and they'll have food on the table."
I do not accept that people who are merely struggling against political disenfranchisement without a deep commitment to the ISIS religious ideology are capable of what we have witnessed coming out of Iraq. Mass executions, beheadings, forced slavery - all the while gleefully cheering it.
I cannot see these young men, after these acts of barbaric attrocities, peacefully returning home for dinner once they have a say in the politics of Iraq.
They are not after a seat at the table of Iraqi politics, they want the entire table drenched in the blood of every other competing ideology.
I am so excited about Preemptive Love Coalition and the work that they are doing. Check out Mr. Courtney's book. God is doing great things.

Excellent point- well said. I appreciated reading from the perspectives of people who lived there gaining an inside look into the players in this struggle. I too live currently in this part of the world and view Muslims not as enemies, but as people like myself with families, stories and concerns. That being said, I am not sure that I understand the viewpoint of this article when it comes to the core of where these issues have stemmed from. If it mostly has to do with the anger towards the unfair treatment of Sunnis on a national scale to Sunnis being held without charges taken from peaceful protest, then how has this turned to an eradication of other minority groups as a justification. Killing the Yazidis and eradicating the Christian population doesn't seem to align with their original struggle in the least! I am sure I am missing something here, but I am just not seeing this inside perspective as founded considering the results of what has occurred.
Hmm, sounds simplistic, I am skeptical of the idea that if the economics of the situation were better then these men would go back home to their wives and children. I mean in these are the folks who robbed the Iraqi central bank in Mosel of $500 Billion in US currency and who knows how much gold bullion.
I truly believe that Islam is the personification of Satan on the earth. It is not the religion of peace. It is a cultist gang, whose organizing principals call for the murder of those who don't believe as they believe. It actively condones lying, stealing and enslavement of non-believers as methods of promoting their ends. Finally, as a husband and father of two daughters it actively promotes the subjugation of women in the most-barbaric ways. My words seem harsh, but I would encourage you to look at polling in supposedly 'moderate' Islamic countries to see that the prevailing view of a majority of Muslims in the world is completely comfortable with; the destruction of the state of Israel, the implementation of the Jizya tax on non-believers in conquered land and female genital mutilation.
All of that said, I do not intend through these comments to convey my support for previous military actions or suggest future military interventions, rather I sincerely believe that we should not be afraid in this life to call evil evil.
I do not know how long the author of this arctic involved with Islamic peoples, but to change their mindset is not so simple. And much pretension to think they're going to change their attitude simply by giving some facilities for them. In reality, what is happening there with ISIS is the spirit of Islam. Destroy enemies. Someone who kills cold blooded children and elderly people have to have something perverted in character, and that does not change from one hour to another, and most people will not change. Has many humanitarian organizations bringing millions of dollars, not always used properly, but money does not change people's hearts, love yes. Stop selling weapons to organized groups in order to defend their own interests, and start sending people who can help in health, education, social projects, so we'll see something better in the future.

Bahrain insurance sector triples in size
Much of this growth in insurance is attributable to increased consumer awareness about the benefits of insurance
Follow >
Click here to add Economic Development Board as an alert
Disable alert for Economic Development Board
Insurance is a strong driver of growth in the financial sector in Bahrain, and its contribution to the gross domestic product climbed to eight per cent in 2011 from three per cent in 2003, the Economic Development Board (EDB) said in a quarterly report.
The EDB Bahrain Economic Quarterly Report highlighted the insurance sector in the kingdom, indicating that insurance penetration in Bahrain has increased from 1.95 per cent to 2.55 per cent over the last decade, tripling the size of the sector to 335 per cent in the period between 2003 to 2011.
Much of this growth in insurance is attributable to increased consumer awareness about the benefits of insurance, as well as growth in real gross national income of 54 per cent from 2002 up to the end of the decade.
Another possible reason for the large growth in the insurance industry over the years is that Bahrain has witnessed consistent positive growth in net domestic credit.
Other indicators which the report looks at include the growth in the number and types of insurance businesses in Bahrain, and the predominant categories of insurance policies and their respective growth rates over the years.
In 1995, there were 109 insurance licences issued in Bahrain. Nearly a decade later this number reached 154 (2004), and as of 2010 the total number was 171, said the report.
This represents an increase in the number of registered insurance companies of around 57 per cent.
Considering that there was a much larger than proportionate increase in insurance as a whole than the number of insurance licences, this indicates that the size of contribution per insurance company grew significantly during the period.
The types of insurance policies in demand experienced a shift as well, with medical insurance policies increasing dramatically by 1,840 per cent and marine and aviation policies shrinking by 13 per cent. Overall insurance policies grew by 120 per cent over the decade.
Some insight behind the substantial rise in medical insurance policies lies in Bahrain's plans to make medical insurance mandatory for employers.
Conventional insurance growth weakened in Bahrain between 2007 and 2010, possibly in reaction to the financial crisis.
However this sector saw consistent positive net income despite the global downturn, a good indicator of its financial health. Bahraini insurance firms' investments increased 35pc between 2006 and 2010.
The reinsurance and retakaful sector saw extremely high average growth rates in premiums and claims between 2006 and 2010.

Movie fans have not outgrown the "Toy Story 3" gang.
The animated sequel about toys that come to life leaped to the No. 1 spot with a $109 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.
"Toy Story 3" became the third animated film to top $100 million in the first weekend, joining "Shrek the Third" at $121.6 million and "Shrek 2" at $108 million.
It was by far the best debut for a film from Disney's Pixar Animation, topping "The Incredibles" at $70.5 million.
Reuniting voice stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, the movie has Woody the cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and their toy pals facing their mortality, worried they will end up on the scrap heap now that their kid has grown up.
"Whether you're a kid or a parent, you always come to a fork in the road where you make the decision of what to do about your toys. Therein lies the appeal of the movie," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney.
That, and the fact that Woody, Buzz and the gang have become like family to "Toy Story" fans, he said.
"Somehow these characters have worked their way in. When you go there, you can see the audience is vested in the movie from the start. It doesn't take any time to warm up. The minute it hits the screen, they're in," Viane said.
"Toy Story 3" took over the No. 1 spot from Sony's "The Karate Kid," which pulled in $29 million to raise its 10-day total to $106.3 million.
The weekend's other new wide release, the Warner Bros. action tale "Jonah Hex," bombed with just $5.1 million. Adapted from the comic book series, "Jonah Hex" stars Josh Brolin as a disfigured 19th century bounty hunter tracking a villain who aims to unleash a doomsday weapon.
"Toy Story 3" took in an additional $44.8 million overseas, giving it a worldwide total of $153.8 million. The movie has opened in such countries as Mexico, Argentina and China but will not debut in most major foreign markets until July and August.
The film also maintains the perfect track record of Pixar, whose 11 films all have opened at No. 1, starting with the original "Toy Story" in 1995 and continuing with such hits as "Finding Nemo," "Ratatouille," "WALL-E" and last year's "Up."
"Disney-Pixar is the best box-office insurance policy you can have," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "It's a brand that just resonates with audiences. If they go to a Pixar movie, they know they're going to be entertained. They're going to have a great time and also get a message. There's always a positive lesson you walk away with."
The film gave a nice boost to Hollywood, whose overall receipts had lagged in May. Domestic revenues totaled $198 million, up 31 percent from the same weekend last year, when "The Proposal" led with $33.6 million.
"Toy Story 3" continued Hollywood's streak of 3-D hits. The 3-D version of the film accounted for 60 percent of revenues, though it played on more 2-D than 3-D screens, according to Disney.
Tickets for 3-D movies typically cost a few dollars more than 2-D versions.
"Toy Story 3" took in $8.4 million in 3-D showings at huge-screen IMAX theaters. That beat the IMAX record for an animated film previously held by "Monsters vs. Aliens" with $5.1 million.
In limited release, Fox Searchlight's comedy "Cyrus" debuted strongly with $180,289 in four theaters, averaging $45,072 a cinema, compared to $27,061 in 4,028 locations for "Toy Story 3."
"Cyrus" stars John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Hill in the tale of a man whose new romance is jeopardized by his girlfriend's grown son, who wants his mom to himself. The film gradually expands to nationwide release through mid-July.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Toy Story 3," $109 million.
2. "The Karate Kid," $29 million.
3. "The A-Team," $13.8 million.
4. "Get Him to the Greek," $6.1 million.
5. "Shrek Forever After," $5.5 million.
6. "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," $5.3 million.
7. "Killers," $5.1 million.
8. "Jonah Hex," $5.09 million.
9. "Iron Man 2," $2.7 million.
10. "Marmaduke," $2.65 million.

In the world of the Legal internet lawyers still use 1,000-year-old technology called listservs.
Apparently this plea for help from Gary Broderick from the anti-OCF-Realty group Point Breeze Organizing Committee has been bouncing around on such a listserv full of lawyers on it. In it, it appears Mr. Broderick is shopping around for pro bono work looking to file a defamation suit because, as he says, Ori Feibush of OCF Realty had a Facebook conversation with him, that Broderick then claims he doctored, and then inserted the N-word.
Hmm. Someone better contact Facebook and request some evidence preservation! This could be getting interesting. Everyone grab some popcorn.

Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ) has taken heat for glitches in its handling of the Facebook (FB) IPO, including a delayed opening and a two-hour gap during which some traders didn't know the status of their orders.
The failures themselves won't cost the company much — Nasdaq is reportedly setting aside "at least $13 million" to cover claims. But CLSA analyst Rob Rutschow thinks that the IPO could cost the company more because of lawsuits.
And he sees potential longer-term implications, as the company could lose listings to competitors:
"Our fear is that Nasdaq has tarnished its reputation with potential companies looking to IPO, and that additional legal costs are possible. The listings business is largely predicated on brand name, though Nasdaq is also the low-cost provider. We are lowering numbers and our target to $26 (from $29)."
That said, Western Digital (WDC) just decided to move its listing to the Nasdaq, indicating that at least one company isn't getting scared off.

punctuation mistakes
iam editting my essay but i dont understand how this system works please help
See example:
Looking at this mostly commonly used
2 answers
It is difficult to give punctuation advice without a complete sentence. Looking at this mostly (or most) commonly used is a fragment.
If you have a question about the software itself, you should email support.
link comment | answered Feb 04 '12 at 05:20 Jody M. Expert |
I would say, "Looking at this most commonly used..." instead. "Commonly" is one of those adverbs that is usually modified by intensifiers like "very" or "so", rather than general adverbs. You can say "mostly used" or "commonly used", but not both, because the adverbs are fighting of the same slot in the syntax. I hope that helps.

Key Term Definitions
Hybrid Phone:
A phone that is hybrid is a mix between key systems and PBX systems. Over the years the differences between these 2 types have dwindled and so the benefits of both have been combined – the term hybrid signifies the grouping.
Digital Phone:
Digital phones break up audio signal into a binary code ( series of 1s and 0s) and transfer the code to another device, which then takes the code and reassembles the signal. Analog takes the human voice and translates it into electronics pulses. Since digital breaks up the signal is it able to correct errors that may have occurred during transmission, delivering clearer conversation.
CTI (computer telephony integration):
This is an optional set of applications that will allow you to integrate your telephone system with your computer. These applications include one-click dialing, video conferencing, incoming call routing and more.
Extra Device Port (xDP):
The xDP is a connection path for a second single-line analog device. This device can share an extension number (cordless phone) with the system phone or work independently (modem, fax, etc.)
Digital Extra Device Port (DXDP):
The DxDP is a connection path for a full-featured, multi-line digital device. With this port you can add a second digital phone to your system with any additional modules or wiring.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE):
PoE technology allows power to be delivered to a remote device using the same cable lines used to deliver Ethernet data. The Ethernet cable serves a power cord. PoE allows you to install network devices in places where electrical outlets may be scarce.
Ethernet Switch:
Network switch that transmits data at Ethernet standard rates. The switches must carry either 10/100 Megabits per second or 10/100/100 Megabit ports in order to be classified as Ethernet.

Merrill Ups Northern Trust to Near Term Accumulate
Merril Lynch upgraded banking and trust services provider Northern Trust (NTRS ) to near term accumulate since a recent price pullback makes for a good buying opportunity.
Analyst Judah Kraushaar said shares are off nearly 30% from their annual high. Apart from the valuation appeal, the analyst likes the company because it is focusing on two high growth businesses - custody and private banking. Management has tightly managed costs over the years and sees more operating leverage going forward. And though other firms are copying Northern's high net worth business model Kraushaar sees little competitive risk to the company.
Kraushaar sees earnings per share of $2.40 in 2001and $2.75 in 2002. He has a 12-month target of $78-½.
Northern Trust stock was up 5-1/8, at 69-5/8.

France 1864 – 1901
Jane Avril at the Jardin de Paris [Jane Avril au Jardin de Paris]
Materials & Technique:
prints, posters, planographic brush and spatter lithograph, printed in five colours
Primary Insc: signed lower centre, printed from the stone in olive-green ink, 'HTLautrec'
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's posters are some of the most brilliant in the medium. His Jane Avril, while showing the hint of caricature common to much of his work, has a real sense of individuated character. Jane Avril, a dancer at the Moulin Rouge, was one of Toulouse-Lautrec's great friends and this, his penultimate poster, was his homage to her.

Thanks Bay. We were so amped we went out at 6:30 (still fairly dark) the next morning. Water was rough. Nearly got swamped on the way out and then only stayed out 1/2 hour. Had waves washing over us as we reached the beach. Like I said, we're still learning. We learned to cool it a little when the conditions aren't right. Gotta be patient.
Here's the ugly truth about living here in TN. I now am looking forward to catching one pound smallmouth in a creek. To say that I miss the salt is an understatement.
That sounds like a plan! I keep forgetting to post on this thread for some reason. Last three trips have been great, Cobia season is in full swing. In two trips last weekend, we managed six keepers and a bunch of shorts. Also got to break in the new boat on some nice reds!
NIIIIIICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I snuck out Friday from 4-7:30pm. Got 8 blackfin in the 5-7lb range. Nothing big, obviously.... but sushi time! I catch em all on relatively light spinning rods, so it is still fun.
One handed fishing. This could be a combo for Heroes On The Water. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE0kXPeVYPE
I had a bass eat a bare hook once while it was hanging just over the side of the boat as I searched for a lure, but this guy can call his shot like Babe Ruth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbhue4uFJJY
Need some help fellows. I am an old fart (60) I grew up fishing the waters of northeast Florida. From Green Cove Spring all the way to Mayport. From The St Mary's River down past Marineland. I even did some some off shore out off Mayport. Twenty three years ago I moved to north Georgia and I just can't get into pond or lake fishing. Thus I rarely get a chance to wet a line in brackish or salt water. During the last week of this month my family and I will be up at East Hampton New York (Eastern tip of Long Island). The occasion is my oldest son's and his bride to be wedding. Part of the festivities will be a deep sea fishing trip on a boat owned by son's future father in-law I love off shore fishing but I do not know crap about what types of fish they have in those waters. I am curious but the main reason is that I don't want to look like a dumb ass in front of my son and his new father in-law. Any help or tips that any of northern boys can pass onto me will be appreciated.
Rule #1... It's called "offshore fishing" not deep sea fishing. That's what's they write on signs to attract tourists. Rule #2.... Don't get seasick and ruin the trip for everyone. Take Dramamine before to be safe. Other than that, enjoy yourself!! Don't take it to seriously. I think they catch striper and flounder up there (they call it fluke). They troll big paddle tail lures and plastics for striper and fluke fishing is like bottom fishing in Florida.
Thanks for the advise. I usually call it off shore to. I notice that I did use the phrase "deep sea" once in my post. I will keep your comment in mind and use the traditional term. As for sea sickness I never had it and I have been in some real rough and rolling chit too. I really love being out in the ocean. Even though I am confined in a boat I still feel more free than I ever could be on dry land. Stripper and flounder. That sounds like fun. I do know that they have some great Blued up there to.
Striper is like the main game fish up there I think.. they can get up to 40LBs. The flounder fishing i've seen on TV looks pretty good. They catch them BIG. There are like sunken subway cars out there for artificial reefs.
My fishing 'life' started on long island. In July you will likely go fluke fishing. Fun fish to catch and great to eat. Enjoy!

Lincoln From Life
Last year two scholars working separately uncovered a pair of previously unknown portraits of Abraham Lincoln. One of them—which seems to put us in the very presence of the man—turned out to be the first ever painted.
March 1990 | Volume 41, Issue 2
Until recently historians believed that Abraham Lincoln was not painted before 1860, the year artists hurried to Springfield to produce likenesses of the presidential candidate. But in the summer of 1988 a lost portrait of Abraham Lincoln turned up on a farm in his home state of Illinois. Painted in 1856 by the itinerant artist Philip O. Jenkins, the newly discovered canvas captures the face of Lincoln the lawyer, political leader, and prominent citizen. It is the best portrait of Lincoln from the era that Carl Sandburg called the prairie years, and it is the only portrait of Lincoln before he was nationally known.
The discovery of the earliest portrait of Abraham Lincoln was, by itself, an important event, but an equally remarkable discovery followed. A few months later, in the fall of 1988, another lost portrait of Lincoln by Jenkins came to light. This second canvas, painted several years after the first, depicts a bearded Lincoln as President. Like the beardless portrait, it was still in the hands of a descendant of the original owner. After a yearlong research odyssey through attics, archives, and museums, Philip Jenkins's matching portraits have been brought together, and each helps solve the mystery of the other.
The trail began at a Chicago antiques show. A dealer exhibiting a large oil portrait of Lincoln from the 1864 presidential campaign mentioned casually that he knew of an even better Lincoln painting. According to the dealer, the woman who sold the campaign portrait to him claimed that an ancestor of hers knew Lincoln and had painted a picture of him before he was elected President. The portrait, which the dealer was unable to acquire, still hung in the front parlor of the owner's home in central Illinois.
The story sounded far-fetched. The majority of Lincoln's sittings for artists were well documented, and the chance that an unknown prepresidential portrait was still out there, waiting to be discovered, was slim. The picture was probably just a colored lithograph or print complete with a family history that consisted more of wishful thinking than fact. Yet the story could be true. Unknown Lincoln documents still turn up occasionally in Illinois, the state where Lincoln once said he had "passed from a young to an old man." Descendants of many of Lincoln's friends still live in Illinois, and a few of them cherish historic pieces that no outsider has seen.
The story of the oil portrait was intriguing enough to lead one of the authors, James Swanson, to travel to a red-brick farmhouse in the heart of Lincoln country. The owner of the portrait was eager to receive a visitor who wanted to talk history, and sitting on a shaded porch, she recounted the story of her family and her painting over iced tea and Popsicles. She was eighty-six years old and had lived on her farm since she was a child. Her grandfather, William Henry Mann, who built the farmhouse, had served as an officer in an Illinois infantry regiment during the Civil War. According to family history, his brother-in-law, a "Dr. Jenkins," was a physician and amateur artist who had painted family portraits as well as a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. In 1912 her mother had discovered ten or twelve portraits by Jenkins in the attic. All were unframed and rolled up and had suffered water damage. Her mother threw some of the portraits out and saved six—portraits of William Henry Mann, his wife, his brother, and one of his sons, a portrait of the artist's son, and one of Abraham Lincoln. These portraits were stretched, framed, and displayed in the house, where they hung as she spoke.
After an hour or so she led the way inside. The house was kept dark to make it cool, and as she walked into the dimly lit front parlor, the walnut furniture, nineteenth-century wallpaper, hanging oil chandelier, and musty scent set the mood for Grandfather Mann to stroll into the room wearing his Civil War captain's uniform.
Grandfather Mann was nowhere to be seen, but another presence filled the room. There, at the end of the parlor, was Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of the United States. But this was not bearded Father Abraham, the Great Emancipator and Civil War President. It was the image of another man, Abe Lincoln of Illinois, prominent lawyer and ambitious politician. The canvas captured Lincoln as he would have looked in his office, in court, or at a political event on any day in the 1850s—clean-shaven, wearing a dark frock coat, white shirt, and tie. The portrait possessed an intangible lifelike quality that was difficult to describe.
The portrait's owner knew little about the man who painted it, not even his first name. Nor did she know when Jenkins had painted any of the pictures. Not one was signed on the front, but in the nineteenth century many artists signed portraits on the back of the canvas. One by one she removed the portraits from the wall. Grandfather Mann's was signed "P. O. Jenkins/1856." His wife's portrait was unmarked, probably because Jenkins had painted it simultaneously with her husband's and signed only one of the pair. The portrait of William, the artist's son, was inscribed "Willie Jenkins/by his Pa/Bards Town, KY/ Dec. 1867." The Lincoln portrait was the last to come down. It was signed: "Dr. P. O. Jenkins/ Pinxit/May 1856."

A truck wreck two weeks ago in the Bay Area could still haunt taxpayers in northern Nevada. A courier truck loaded with tax payments crashed on the San Mateo Bridge on September 11th, dumping an estimated 30,000 tax payments into the San Francisco Bay.
Your check may be lost if you sent in a quarterly tax payment to the San Francisco post office box of the IRS, between September 1st and 11th.
If you fit this criteria, the IRS is asking you to hold off until September 30th to see if your check ends up clearing. If it doesn't clear, you must contact the IRS after to find out the status of your check. The toll-free number is 1-800-829-1040.
Once you get notice that your payment was lost, you'll have 30 days to send a new check. The IRS will wave interest and penalties for affected tax payers.
