Ok guys, here are my two main posts from Jenn's discussion, please repost at minimum your latest reply to me when you join...Thanks!
Post #1:
Hi Jenn,
Congratulations to you and your husband!
I am new to this thread and I admit that I did not read all of the comments up to this point, but if it is not too late, I would like to encourage you in you rrelationship with Rachel.
First, a little bit about me: I grew up in the south and the traditional church and rejected Christianity around the age of 12. I spent the next ~ 10 years pursuing Atheism in the sense of being a LaVeyan Satanist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism#LaVeyan_Satanism (as are many Athiests whether they know it or not) until I was almost 22. I was completely anti-christ and anti-religion. I sold drugs and threw parties...among other things. After wandering through spiritual darkness for many years I had come to realize that I was in a place Jesus called Hell. I made some spiritual decisions and decided that I was rejecting Christianity even though I knew so much about it having grown up in it, but there was something I felt like I was missing. Something I did not understand and to me, the highest form of ignorance is rejecting that which I do not understand. I decided to submit myself to the teachings of Jesus Christ and that is what I did. I came to realize that what He teaches is so far from what the church as a whole teaches. Over the last 8 years since I gave my life to the mystery of the Christ within us and found my place as a Son of the Most High God, who is simply Life and Love. Now, I am a registered nurse and will be a doctor in less than two years :) In the last 8 years of studying scripture, seeking wisdom, and serving and loving people through the anointing (literally: the Christ) in me, I have come to learn many things. A few of those things, I would like to share because I think they might help.
1) The teachings of the church and many of the dogmatic doctrinal ideas of most Christians are not what Jesus taught. They are fueled by the demonic spirit called Religion and they keep our Father's children from truly entering into a relationship with Him. Jesus taught us simply 1) to love God (God = Love, Love= God, God = Life, Life = God, etc) and 2) to love others as we love ourself. He commands us to heal people, to feed people and to simply serve others in selfless love. He DOES NOT command us to build his church or to convince others to become Christians. He does tell us to spead the word of the Kingdom of heaven which He says twice in scripture is a spiritual place here among us right now. This means to let people know that they are truly all children of the Most High God, children of Life and children of Love. We are commanded to tell them that they can, in fact, have a personal relationship with the force of Life that permeates the entire universe. I say this all to point out that your friend Rachel is probably sick of religion as are many people. This is key to understand. Jesus tried to minister to the "Christians" of His day...they were called the Pharisees. He soon came to turn the focus His ministry on the "Atheists" of the day...the Gentiles. My point is that Jesus didn't push religion...he didn't even like religion...He pushed Love and Freedom and Service and Healing etc, etc...
2) I have been in ministry (service) for the last 8 years and I can tell you that it was a while before I came to realize that, although I know many awesome christian brothers and sisters that really do love me, I have many people in my life that are atheists, wiccans, hindus, etc that have loved me regardless of my life path and have always been there for me. These are my true family. I share this to point out that it is your love for Rachel and your acceptance of her no matter what and this attitude is what is going to win her and keep her as your close friend in this situation. You well know that the manifestation of the Spirit of God in and through you will reveal itself as love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, kindness, goodness, self-control in your relationship with her. This is what we are called to sister...not religious ideas and dogmas. To point, would any of those (love, joy, peace, etc) push Rachel away if you expressed them to her? No. Would religious ideas about Jesus? Yes. The religion would, but the true Spirit of Christ will not push away or destroy relationships...even more evidence that religion is not what Jesus is about for He would never push any away from Himself. With that said, my friends know that I love our Father and have found my path via the teachings of Christ and I do have opportunities to talk about those teachings on rare occasions, but only when they bring it up. The church tells us that we have to beat people up with evangelism, but I am here to tell you to NOT feel guilty for not pushing Jesus (the religious Jesus) on her. I have come to understand that for me to say I have to "convince" someone to become a Christian, is to say that I do not have any confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit to do His job. It is the presence of the a pure Spirit of Love in one's life that brings them to repentance, not clever arguments and convincing. Loving her is more powerful than any sort of convincing that your words could ever do...this is the presence of the Spirit within you operating in her life. (I do understand that you will miss the fellowship with her and that is expected, but do not give up hope and control yourself when the urge comes to discuss Jesus-stuff with her. I actually, have learned many ways to talk about spiritual things with those that despise Jesus including words that are non-offensive etc. It is nice to be able to have an entire conversation about Jesus and important spiritual things without saying "Jesus" or other trigger words. If you are interested and think it might be useful to you, I would be happy to share some of that with you :)
3) I want to briefly address the Hell issue. I don't know about heaven or hell after this life and I am sure you have your own ideas. However, I want to encourage you to not concern yourself with whether or not Rachel will go to hell when she dies, but rather be concerned that she may find it here on Earth before then. Continue to be a source of grace and mercy and unrelenting love to her and your light in her life will be a constant beacon if she should begin to find herself traversing into the deeper layers of the underworld. I have seen the depths of hell...maybe even as deep as Tartaros and I can say that the only way I found my way into the kingdom, into complete freedom, was because I had faithful people in my life daily praying for me and loving me regardless. Pray constantly and faithfully.
4) I did see at the beginning of this thread where you said that you had many Christians telling you that to continuing a relationship with her would mean being "unevenly yoked". I bet you have also heard the one about "what fellowship can light have with darkness?" or something to that effect. Let me tell you now that those people, while having good intentions, are wrong, IMO. The pharisees only hung out with other pharisees and religious christians hang out with other christians. Jesus tried to hang out with the "religious christians" of His day and soon got sick of it. So, He decided to hang out with the godless and the druggies and the crazies and the rejects, etc, etc. He loved those that were free from religion and offered love and acceptance to those among them who could find it no where else. By pursuing her, you are following the example of Christ more than most Christians are and will begin to see Him in places and understand His love in ways that most Christians will never know. So, you keep it up and don't listen to that demonic religious spirit that will try to convince you through others (many of whom you trust and probably have the deepest respect for) to leave her alone. (As an aside, I would love to hear of any other arguments "christians" may try to throw at you in an attempt to get you to abandon her...)
Well, I could ramble on and on as I am rather long-winded, but that addresses most of the main points that I wanted to touch on. Forgive me for the deepness in some areas and some of the spiritual ambiguity in others. I was hesitant about posting such an openly christian response in this forum...thought about sending it privately instead, but I guess the response shall be interesting if nothing else. I am looking forward to hearing how things go and will pray that you and Rachel may both continue to find freedom from religion while at the same time, growing and strengthening your relationship with the Father of all of creation, whose Son is Jesus Christ and whose children are Rachel and Jenn (among others as well ;)
Post #2:
Hi Samuel,
I am not sure how it is you can suppose to know me well enough to attack me so based on a single post of mine. I will briefly address your concerns, however, if you would like to continue this discussion, maybe you could start a new thread so as to not clog up thread with unrelated conversation.
1) "you're religious, wrong and turning the so called bible upside down, you're sure that gentiles were atheists!" - Ummm...yes, I am sure. The word "Gentile" is derived from the latin word "gens" originally meaning "clan or family". It is translated in the English Bible from the Hebrew texts as "Gentile, heathen, nation or people" from the Hebrew word "goy" and from the Greek texts of the New Testament usually as "Gentile, heathen, nation or people" from the Greek word "ethnos". The usage of the word "Gentile" in the greek and hebrew texts refers to people who are non-Jews and typically carries the connotation of a broad sense of the all of the people of the time who did not believe in the God of the Jews (i.e. - non-Jews). There are specific scriptures that carry the particular connotation of a person who is god-less (ie - an Atheist: from "-theist) meaning one who believes in a god and the prefix "A-" negating the following suffix) and likens these "atheist" as Gentiles. It's ok if you didn't know this. One really has to study this stuff for oneself to really pick up on these sorts of things.
2) "Atheism is not satanism" You are correct in that Atheis is not satanism. I never said it was. I understand how someone reading quickly through my post might have misinterpretted this idea. What I said was that many Atheist cleanly fit the criteria for LeVeyan Satanism. Have you read the Satanic Bible written by Anton LaVey? There are many shades of Satanism and there are many Atheists who do not fit anywhere within the a-theistic ideas conveyed by LeVey, but there are many who do...I was one of them. www.religioustolerance.org explains LaVeyan Satanism as a "small religious group that is unrelated to any other faith, and whose members feel free to satisfy their urges responsibly, exhibit kindness to their friends, and attack their enemies." Read the Satanic Bible...you can find a free copy here: www.thesatanicbiblefree.com "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
3) "and I was called antichrist but I didn't have anything to do with the devil" I am sorry you were called anti-christ. One can be against (anti-) Christ and not be Satanic or have anything to do with the devil. I believe you. There are many names for spirits that are against Christ...one is Satan, which literally defined, means "the false accuser" Have you ever been accused falsely? If so, then you experienced a Satanic spirit operating through whoever was falsely accusing you. I have encountered him on more than one occasion...even recently I might add :)
4) "and you must have a ton of latent guilt from religion because you're so called wild demonic trip is having fun maybe too much which is constrained by religion and you went to what you know as repenting." I see how you might assume these things, though I can assure you that I am completely free from all guilt. I have been forgiven for everyone I have hurt and every offense I have ever committed. In fact, I have found a place where I live under a pouring rain of perpetual or constant forgiveness. In staying in this place, it allows me to immediately forgive others when they offend or hurt me :) Proof = The fact that I forgive you because your response to my attempt to encourage Jenn was a little hurtful but it is ok, I still love you and would do anything for you and I don't even know you :)
5) "Prove to me you know squat about you're old atheistic ways and state great points that turned you into an atheist." If you would like further proof, please start a new thread and we can discuss it as much as you like. It might be good to give the others who will assuredly attack me a ready avenue to do so without clogging Jenn's thread. Looking forward to talking with you more :)
Chris you stated "Yeah, it is funny cuz I didn't come here to discuss my beliefs so much as to learn about others'. I love sharing stuff when people ask, but I usually don't even get into all this and I think you can see why lol because my views are so different than most peoples it becomes such a tremendous task to correct people constant assumptions that it just doesn't seem worth it to me. "
If you would like to honestly share information most here are willing to do that, but if your position is Black is White then you will have to explain yourself. You can't have it both ways, we need to understand your position that you are not willing state other than it is different and you don't want to have to explain it.
Chris most of us are willing to debate using the Bible as the source material.
You miss read my post, I said "black is white" and that does describe your position as you have been posting it.
I believe you have a misconception of what Atheism is. Atheism is not believing in deities. As Atheists we have any number of personal philosophies , it depends on the individual.
This describes me and I'm pretty sure most others here as well: Atheism is the absence of belief. In order to believe something you have to be able to know something about it, thus atheists are also Agnostics with regard to any supernatural claims because there is no empirical evidence to support such claims, and how can you know anything about something for which there is no evidence. The burden of proof lies on the person making the claims (Russell's Teapot).
I would even go further in pointing out that many Atheists are actually Ignostic, which is to say that ideas such as there being a "God" cannot even be seriously considered because it's a basically meaningless proposition.
Atheists are monists and naturalists, there is no duality, there is no supernatural world, only the natural world. There is no magic, no magical beings. Nothing happens except according to natural laws, which we are working out in the diverse disciplines of science. There is no soul, no mind/body separation, the mind is just as much in, and part of, the natural world as anything else. There are many things that we do not yet know about the natural world, and as such, they are simply that, as yet unknown.
@ Jim - Wow, I looked up Osho and found this on wiki:
This is exactly what I believe as well and I came to learn these truth from the teachings of Jesus which is what frustrates me so much about the church. These truths are universal and are not limited to Jesus which is why I can find so much in other faiths that teach the same things. The organization of religion hates these principles because it frees people from the enslavement which religion strives to instill. Thank you so much for showing me this! I say several of these things all of the time (numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9)!!! Yet another weapon in my arsenal as I fight for life and love!
Gave you the willies?!?!?!? Well, those are mine...how did you get those...give them back this instance! hahahaha...just being silly =P
The dramatic usage of the word fight in that last line was not in any way intended to have a connotation of violence...I fight with love and peace and kindness and gentleness and being honest and truthful protecting those oppressed and serving those who are less fortunate than me. That is all I meant. :)

With shares of Rackspace (NYSE:RAX) trading around $47, is RAX an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Rackspace offers a diverse portfolio of cloud computing services, including public, dedicated and private cloud, and hybrid hosting. The global company sells its services to business customers in more than 120 countries. Rackspace's service offering combines hosting on dedicated hardware and on multi-tenant pools of virtualized hardware in a way that suits each customers requirements. The company's public cloud services refer to pooled computing resources delivered on-demand over the Internet. As cloud technology becomes increasingly popular, Rackspace stands to make increasing profits into the future.
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart are Weak
Rackspace has seen an amazing bullish run since its initial public offering in 2008. The stock has had issues lately and has declined from all-time high prices. Analyzing the price trend and its strength can be done using key simple moving averages. What are the key moving averages? The 50-day (pink), 100-day (blue), and 200-day (yellow) simple moving averages. As seen in the daily price chart below, Rackspace is trading below its declining key averages which signal bearish price action in the near-term.
(Source: Thinkorswim)
Taking a look at the implied volatility (red) and implied volatility skew levels of Rackspace options may help determine if investors are bullish, neutral, or bearish.
Implied Volatility (IV) |
30-Day IV Percentile |
90-Day IV Percentile |
Rackspace Options |
56.43% |
93% |
91% |
What does this mean? This means that investors or traders are buying a very significant amount of call and put options contracts, as compared to the last 30 and 90 trading days.
Put IV Skew |
Call IV Skew |
May Options |
Steep |
Average |
June Options |
Steep |
Average |
As of today, there is an average demand from call buyers or sellers and high demand by put buyers or low demand by put sellers, all neutral to bearish over the next two months. To summarize, investors are buying a very significant amount of call and put option contracts and are leaning neutral to bearish over the next two months.
On the next page, let's take a look at the earnings and revenue growth rates and the conclusion…

Rangers get lefty Travis Blackley in trade with Astros
HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Astros have traded minor league left-hander pitcher Travis Blackley to the Texas Rangers for cash and a player to be named later.
The 30-year-old Blackley went 1-1 with a 4.89 ERA in 42 relief appearances for Houston this season before being designated for assignment on Aug. 8. He cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City and joined the RedHawks on Tuesday.
Blackley will not be on the 40-man roster and has been assigned to Triple-A Round Rock.
The Australian is 8-8 with a 5.28 ERA in 78 career games, including 23 starts. Four of his eight career wins have come against the Rangers.

iPhone Gets Bejeweled
PopCap Games, the multi-platform casual game company best known for its popular titles such as Bejeweled and Chuzzle has announced a free web version of Bejeweled for Apple's iPhone that's now available via the Safari browser through www.popcap.com.
Not a downloadable game like many of PopCap's popular PC games, the Safari web-browser based game still delivers players all the original functionality and gameplay that helped create Bejeweled fever. Making use of the iPhone's Web 2.0, unique screen options and wireless technologies, Bejeweled for iPhone offers the new mobile platform the first officially produced title by a well-known game developer for Apple and AT&T's popular cell phone.
To create the game, PopCap worked with Polish developer Arkadiusz Mlynarczyk, one of the first coders to take advantage of the device's gaming abilities with the Bejeweled clone known as Diamenty. Yet, Bejeweled appears to be a refined version of Mlynarczyk's first effort with better graphics and a refined interface.
Regarding any announcements for a complete non-web version of the game, a PopCap representative replied, "We really can't comment on the status of a "non-web version."
Still curious, we had the opportunity on Friday to ask PopCap's Greg Canessa (vice president of video game platforms) and Andrew Stein (director of mobile business development) about the game's arrival on iPhone:
Regarding the wireless capabilities of the iPhone, does that mean uploading of top scores or multiplayer?
No, not at this time; it just means we're using the wireless capabilities of the iPhone to access the game. However, we're always thinking about new features going forward, and those capabilities may be added later.
Could users of Safari run it on Windows and Mac versions of Safari?
Yes, they can... however, the game was optimized to take advantage of the screen size and input controls of the iPhone.
How is the game optimized for the iPhone?
Due to the screen size and layout of Bejeweled, the game is designed to work in the vertical orientation. You CAN rotate it, and it WILL change the orientation, but it also zooms in on the 'active' part of the game field/deck, and you can't see the whole screen. Shrinking the Bejeweled game field/deck makes the individual gems very difficult to select using the touch-screen capabilities. So we had a difficult decision to make here, and we went with what we felt was the best compromise. That said, we love the landscape/portrait capabilities of the iPhone, and we're very interested in finding ways to leverage this aspect of the device for any future games we may do for iPhone.

Post something in the 'Meeting Place' section to see if anyone is going on your tour.
And its recommended that you budget 100 Euros a day on tour (and should come home with change). $7000AUD at the current exchange rate gives you almost 4,500 EURO. So you will easily cover the tour and have about 2000 Euro for travel before/after the tour. - 0 people like this

Preventing the abuse and attacks and subsequent injuries on Parking Enforcement Professionals or Traffic Wardens has now become a real issue and task for many Local Governments.
Are you aware of the fact that hundreds of Parking Enforcement Professionals are being attacked every year here in the UK alone?
Did you know that work-related violence is a contributing factor to stress and absenteeism among staff costing UK employers £700 million annually.
So, do I think that concealable and lightweight stab resistant vests should be considered when discussing and evaluating how we can effectively help protect these men and women?
Yes I certainly do, and I say this absolutely regardless of the fact that I lead a firm specialized in the design, development and manufacturing of such equipment. I say it because I genuinely and simply care about human life and I would stress that it is crucial to look after those who operate in a 'higher risk environment' and those engaging with potentially hostile, intoxicated, frustrated, depressed or aggressive members of the public!
We know that a person who is either intoxicated, simply has a serious dislike for the organisation you represent or aggressively disagrees with any decision you are about to make can overreact to anything you say or do. A lightweight high visibility stab resistant vest will protect you in such case from any impulsive physical assault such person might commit (and possibly deeply regret the following day for the rest of his/her life).
This following image highlights that a body armour does not always need to look 'authoritative', 'offensive' or 'confrontational'. We live in a society where a high visibility clothing has become the norm for workwear for many professionals. This type of body armour can be 'fine tuned' with the corporate badge highlighting the name and logo of a Local Government and a badge 'PARKING ENFORCEMENT' can also easily be added to the back.
Truly outrageous physical attacks on Parking Enforcement Officers have been revealed in data released by local authorities across the UK and many other countries.
Statements of enforcement professionals, such as the following, have been recorded for several research projects on workplace violence within parking enforcement:
"I've been assaulted several times. Been involved in parking for 30 years. I was attacked with a knife many years ago. I was also robbed at knifepoint of car park takings. Broken ribs/driven at/ punched/ spat at/ pushed around. Abuse is general, not from any specific age or gender. Lots of ancillary abuse from passers-by."
Freedom of Information requests revealed:
- Two female Parking Enforcement Officers in Durham were sprayed with deodorant before the cans were used as flame-throwers towards them.
- On High Street, in Sedgefield, a member of the public deliberately drove onto the pavement so they could try and run a Parking Enforcement Officer over.
- A Parking Enforcement Officer in Harrogate was told "you are such a ****" before being dragged alongside a moving car and held onto by a driver who was angry because he was asked if he had a pay and display ticket.
- The driver of a black BMW in Ripon headbutted a Parking Enforcement Officer after telling him "he was going to do him" for issuing a parking ticket.
- A lorry driver approached a Parking Enforcement Officer in Fisher Street car park, Knaresborough, and told him: "I will kill you if I ever see you out of uniform."
I can only invite everyone interested in this subject to read the dissertation: "An analysis of the extent of workplace violence in the Parking Enforcement Sector: A study of violence and abuse towards Parking Enforcement Staff in Bournemouth" by Michael A. Thompson. It is a truly outstanding piece of research!
Recent statistics released under the Freedom of Information Act also reveal incidents of council staff in the UK being punched, bitten, head-butted, attacked with pool cues and even suffering sexual abuse. Many of these attacks have resulted in injuries bad enough for the worker to require hospital treatment and often surgery. The media is full of reports covering these incidents.. but the following is certainly only a very brief selection of the many incidents that have made the news:
Headlines & Additional Information:
- May 2010 – 'An analysis of the extent of workplace violence in the Parking Enforcement Sector' (by 'Institute of Criminal Justice Studies')
- 19th September 2012 – 'Parking rage hits capital as 900 wardens are attacked in a year'
- 12th April 2013 – 'Hundreds of parking officers attacked every year'
- 28th July 2013 – 'Drivers launch a war on traffic wardens'
- 26th April 2014 - 'Parking enforcement officers suffered bruising to their face and limbs'
- 10th September 2014 – 'Traffic warden knocked unconscious in sickening attack after giving motorist a parking ticket'
- 26th November 2014 – 'Attack on Dundee parking attendant branded 'unacceptable'
- 18th December 2014 – 'North-East traffic wardens under attack from drivers'
- 9th April 2015 – 'Traffic warden attacked after issuing ticket'
The most recent news dated 9th April is covering a incident, which saw two builders attacking a traffic warden, punching and kicking the victim until he falls to the ground.
We must admit these statistics and news of incidents are a stark reminder of the dangers faced by many public sector workers as they go about their work – often on relatively low levels of pay.
We will hopefully also agree that all of our public servants should feel safe to carry out their important work without the threat of physical and verbal abuse.
However, we also must accept the fact that the above can be classed as 'wishful thinking' and may well not be part of reality in today's society… certainly not in certain parts of this country.
For this reasons appropriate and operationally sensible protection for these frontline professionals is something that needs looking at.
'Protection' can and/or should include effective conflict management training, lone worker safety devices (tracking & alarm systems), body worn video solutions and covert stab resistant vests or overt stab resistant vests or hi viz overt stab resistant vests.
Who else is at risk?
- Parking Enforcement Officers are at risk of verbal and physical attacks from angry drivers who express their frustration and anger via unacceptable physical action, which they may well regret minutes later.
- Environmental Health Officers – Enforcing regulations and policing the systems places officers at risk from violence as well as accidents at work… especially when working within 'out of hours noise control' or 'fly tipping' operations.
- Trading Standard Officers – Visiting car boot sales and assisting police during raids against counterfeit equipment and traveller's sides can be a high risk job at times. Some officer have been threatened by edged weapon, axes and even shot guns.
- Licensing Enforcement Officers – Visiting nightclubs, taxi ranks, takeaways and other late night venue puts them in contact with intoxicate and sometimes hostile members of the public.
- Housing Officers – Verbal and physical attacks from tenants, when discussing issues such as 'rent areas' or major disturbances.
- Community Safety and Anti-Social Behaviour Teams – I guess that's somehow self-explanatory especially when looking at some of the run down states in this country.
- Benefit Fraud Investigators – Professionals whose job it is to investigate those committing all types of benefit fraud… and often suffer from assaults when exposed.
- Social Workers – Staff are often required to work at all hours, including late at night often in deprived and run down areas, dealing with individuals under the influence of alcohol and class A drugs.
To make it very clear, I am of course not saying everyone working for a Local Government is at risk of getting stabbed or brutally assaulted… of course not. This is of course depending on a number of factors e.g. are you working alone, time of work, location of work, and precise job responsibilities. However I feel strongly that any public sector professional must have the right to be equipped appropriately.
I have stated it so many times over the past few years… but every time I speak to my staff I explain it again and again… we do not want to sell body armour based on the fear of our customers, we much prefer to explain that wearing a body armour can very well be compared to 'wearing a seat belt in a car'.
We do not put the seat belt on because we believe we are going to have an accident today. We are simply acknowledging the fact that there is an exceptionally small chance that we might crash.. regardless of our driving skills. We understand that someone else might be playing on his mobile phone, another driver could be drunk or simply not pay the required attention to the traffic, and such person CAN drive into your car… and it is without any question that you will have a higher chance of remaining unharmed in such unlikely, but nevertheless possible incident if you would wear a seat belt.
But we do not put the seat belt on because we believe we are going to have an accident today… we are not paranoid and scared or anxious. We are simply acknowledging the fact that there is an exceptionally small chance that we might crash. Yet, if this chance becomes reality, you have increased the chance of survival by wearing a seat belt.
Wearing a body armour is just the same…
Please also note that Canadian Parking Enforcement Officers are de facto Peace Officers. This means that assault on a Canadian Parking Enforcement Officer or Bylaw Officer conducting traffic bylaw enforcement is punishable under the Criminal Code of Canada as Assault on a Peace Officer and carries higher penalties than standard assault. Maybe this is something other countries can look into to 'discourage' other from assaulting these officers?
UK based PPSS Group is dedicated to designing, developing and manufacturing of high performance bullet resistant vests, stab resistant vests and cut resistant clothing, in order to protect these domestic frontline professionals.
Please note PPSS Group is also the organiser of the annual LONE WORKER SAFETY Expo, taking place in November every year at London's Olympia Conference Center.

Meeting Description: | Convenors: Michael Cysouw (Philipps University of Marburg) Dirk Goldhahn (University of Leipzig) Thomas Mayer (Philipps University of Marburg) Uwe Quasthoff (University of Leipzig) Invited Speakers: Östen Dahl (Stockholm University) Kevin Scannell (Saint Louis University) Workshop Description: The amount of available (textual) corpora of the world's languages is currently rising at an incredible rate. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers dealing with corpus-based quantitative language comparison and to encourage typological studies that rely on corpus data. A growing body of research uses corpora to investigate the structure of individual languages. There also exists a large amount of research on the world-wide linguistic diversity, though mostly on the basis of information manually extracted from published sources. In contrast, the combination of the two is still rare. There are only few quantitative typological investigations with a world-wide scope that use corpora to infer cross-linguistic generalizations and insights. Some previous work compiled quantitative data through manual corpus annotation (e.g. Greenberg 1960; Wälchli 2005) or automatically with the help of computer programs (e.g. Mayer and Cysouw 2012). In addition, there is some relevant work using corpora to compare a smaller number of (genealogically related) languages (e.g. Bickel 2003; van der Auwera 2005). Cross-linguistic corpora, in particular (massively) parallel corpora (cf. Cysouw and Wälchli 2007) or comparable corpora compiled through web crawling (e.g. Scannell 2007; Goldhahn et al. 2012), provide an enormous amount of information about the world's languages. Although such data is often not ideal from a linguistic point of view (involving problems of translationese, or being restricted to special textual genres), it would be a waste not at least to try to use them for comparative linguistic purposes. One of the reasons for the shortage of quantitative cross-linguistic work is the lack of adequate resources for a representative sample of languages. Consequently, on top of the laborious manual analysis, typologically interested researchers are faced with the time-consuming task to build their own corpora from scratch. One goal of this workshop is therefore to collect (online) resources (especially for lesser studied languages) and to exchange experience with crawling texts from the web. Furthermore, we intend to discuss in which formats cross-linguistic corpora should be made publicly available so that typologists can best benefit from them without violating copyright laws. |

Project by Janie Medley

This is the perfect floral DIY for the décor at a wedding reception, dinner parties, baby showers...the list goes on!
- Bud Vases
- Wire
- Scissors
- Flowers (I used Bupleurum, Queen Anne's Lace and Snow on the Mountain)
How To:
Step 1: Extend the wire about 12 inches.
Next, wrap the wire around the top of the vase 2-3 times and pull it tight.
Now, criss cross the wire 3-4 times.
Step 2: Repeat Step 1 and remember not to cut the wire until you have connected all the vases with the wire. Also, make sure to leave at least 10-12 inches of wire between each vase!
Step 3: I connected the vases to the mantel in my home with clear packing tape. Depending on what you are connecting the vases to, you could use nails to secure them. Once the vases were in place, I placed the flowers inside the vases and I decorated the mantel with flowers and lots of votives!

Georgia has quite a crop of elite in-state talent that it wants–and frankly needs–to keep out of the hands of Alabama, Auburn and Florida. Look for the Bulldogs to handle this group well, and land quite a few of the national top 100 players living within a few hours of Athens.
Editor's note: Saturday Down South's references to ratings follow the 247Sports.com composite rankings.
1. Trent Thompson, Albany (Ga.), 6-4/295, Defensive tackle
- National rank: No. 1 overall prospect
- SEC schools: Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Florida
- The skinny: For a defensive tackle, this guy can scoot. He's a disruptive machine at the position. Georgia seems to be the lock to get him, but maybe Thompson has a little something to say about that. He did just return from Alabama's junior day.
2. Albert Huggins, Orangeburg (S.C.), 6-3/280, Defensive tackle
- National rank: No. 37 overall
- SEC schools: Georgia, South Carolina, LSU
- The skinny: He's a South Carolina native, so there's obviously going to be some competition from Clemson and the Gamecocks for Huggins' commitment, but this is a battle that Bulldogs might be able to pull off if all goes their way.
3. Natrez Patrick, Atlanta (Ga.), 6-3/220, Defensive end
- National rank: No. 51 overall
- SEC schools: Georgia, Auburn, Alabama
- The skinny: Could also play outside linebacker for his future college team. The in-stater seems to be an Auburn-Georgia battle, just another massive in-state target the Bulldogs are hoping to haul in.
4. Chuma Edoga, Powder Springs (Ga.), 6-4/280, Offensive lineman
- National rank: No. 56 overall
- SEC schools: Tennessee, Georgia
- The skinny: Edoga actually named Tennessee his leader early last month, but he's an in-state kid that Georgia covets–so don't expect the Bulldogs to stop chasing him any time soon. In fact, he was on Georgia's campus this weekend.
5. Roquan Smith, Montezuma (Ga.), 6-2/205, Linebacker
- National rank: No. 70 overall
- SEC schools: Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky
- The skinny: The last two months have been nuts for this quickly rising recruit. He has seen countless offers come in since the holiday season, and it's doubtful to end any time soon. This hitter seems to be a Georgia-Auburn battle brewing.

Paint over a bad spackle job?
So for the past 5 years I've been in an apartment (in NYC) that my family owns. All the walls and ceiling are in great shape, aside from one portion just above the shower head. The paint is bubbly, there are chips, it's a complete mess. I want to re-paint it so i started scraping and sanding away, only to reveal layers of spackle, paint, cracks - a mess. (See link below for photo).
Any ideas on how I should go about repainting this section? It's the cracks that worry me; I'm thinking I'll have to chip and sand to the very first (last?) layer, spackle the cracks, then prime and paint. Thoughts? http://imgur.com/OKK6J Advertisement |

Wow, that is indeed a mess. Do a "search" on here for drywall/plaster repair and you will find dozens of posts about similar problems.
A cost-friendly option would be to sand off as much "bumpiness" as you can with a sponge sander or maybe even fire up an orbital to knock down the high spots. Then prime the area with Guardz primer. This will seal up the mess for the next step. Once the Guardz dries for 24 - 48 hours you can begin to skim coat the area. Next step is to fill in those low spots with a quick-set drywall joint compound. Using a drywall blade, trowel the quick-set into those low spots. You may have to do several rounds of this to make those areas flush with the surrounding wall. Let dry. Then you can begin to skim coat the whole wall with regular joint compound, again, using a drywall blade to slather it on the wall. The first coat doesn't have to be particularly smooth. Allow to dry, then sand. Apply another coat or two if necessary. When final coat is dry, sand with a sanding sponge to make the wall smooth again. Wipe off excess dust and apply a coat of drywall primer. Allow it to dry and then you can paint it. This the "quick hit" version of what to do. Don't hesitate to look up "skim coating" on YouTube to get a more detailed How-to. |

Gymschu's approach seems logical but I would add that in patching such a large area? If it is plaster, I would use plaster or plaster repair and not drywall mud. Especially in a bath area problematical as yours, drywall will absorb moisture and respond to temperature differently than will plaster. It is after all different stuff and chemistry. Plaster is a bit harder to work with and heavier of course but you will get the hang of it.
There also comes a point when you can only fix so much from the top. If this is plaster (or even drywall) and it has taken in so much moisture, you may have to cut out the bad areas and either patch with drywall and mud or with repair plaster. I would be concerned about how swollen either plaster or drywall is up there at this point. Depending on how extensive the damage, you may just want to demo a good portion (if not all) the ceiling and wall and hang suitable bath material. Then finish. The approach seems radical but may be cheaper and easier than patching in the long run. Is that shower head leaking or clogged and spraying in all directions by the way? You might want to resolve that issue before doing much with the walls. I do miss NYC! Of course it will cost you not that much more for materials than anywhere else (save for all are committed to fixing the shoreline homes at this point.). You will need to pay to use the freight elevator to get two sheets of material for the walls and ceiling or a bag of plaster into your place so budget $300 for elevator use. It will probably be higher for you to haul the demoed material out. Do not make any noise because if you wake Princess Penolope's rat dog up next door the building management folks will hear about it. Make sure you disguise the contractor bags with demoed building material or you will be forced to get a tiny dumpster thing, have to pay a fine, and wait in line for a permit.

David Ortiz is a better baseball player than fighter.
The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles got into a bench-clearing brawl on Friday night when David Ortiz and Kevin Gregg threw punches at each other.
David Ortiz is a very large man who can connect on very small baseball's thrown at high speeds. But he wasn't able to connect on a large man (Orioles pitcher Kevin Gregg) who yelled at him for not running out a fly ball. According to Gregg:
"I think you show them that we're not backing down. We're not scared of them—them and their $180 million payroll," said Gregg, who angered Ortiz with back-to-back inside pitches. "We don't care. We're here to play the game. We have just as much right to play the game here and we're going to do everything we can to win."
Gregg didn't mention that his team had been blown out for the second night in a row by the Boston Red Sox and their $180 million payroll.

text: W.Va. weighs housing 400 prisoners in Ky. By The Associated Press December 6, 2013 CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A private prison company is the lone bidder for a contract to house up to 400 West Virginia inmates out of state.The bid received Thursday was from Corrections Corporation of America. The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/18cSHw5) says the company would incarcerate the prisoners at the Lee Adjustment Center near Beattysville, Ky. West Virginia Corrections Commissioner Jim Rubenstein said he hopes to send a team to the prison later this month to conduct staff interviews and evaluate the facility.Rubenstein said the state will review the company's cost proposal in a second bid opening later this month. He said that will allow officials to determine if the arrangement makes fiscal sense. Rubenstein said corrections reforms are reducing crowding at state prisons at a faster pace than expected.

STUDIO ANTIQUES & FINE ART, INC. 524 North Washington Street Alexandria, Virginia 22314 703-548-5188 $2,850.00 |
Enrico Gamba (Italian, 1831-1883) "Carnevale Veneziano" Oil-on-artist board; signed lower left. Exhibited: Museo de Bellas Artes, Vina del Mar, Chile. Gamba painted landscapes, history and genre scenes. He was born on January 3, 1831 in Turin and died in the same city on October 9, 1883. Here he studied at the Academia Albertina with Cusa and Arienti, and in 1850, he went to Francfort-sur-le-Mein, where he studied with Steinle. He traveled often, always frequenting the studios of painters, and when he returned to Italy in 1854, he went to Venice and Rome to study with the masters.
