With the US presidential election looming, it's all change in the White House in a few months time. The Obama family might be looking forward to stepping out of the limelight after eight tough years, but they're bound to miss the luxury living provided by the White House. In terms of prestige, no other piece of luxury real estate in the US comes close.
The iconic property at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is one of the grandest and best-known properties in America. As the presidential election draws ever closer, all eyes are on its whitewashed columns, but it's not just political commentators staring at the gates. Followers of the election all over the world are likely asking the question: exactly how much is the White House worth?
An overview
If the elections weren't set to decide the next occupant of the White House, it would undoubtedly be one of the most attractive properties on the US luxury real estate market. So what would a buyer be getting for their money?
The colossal building houses an impressive 132 rooms, with 28 fireplaces and 750 artefacts. All of this is set within 18 acres of stunning grounds, in one the most prestigious areas of Washington DC. That's certainly worth fighting a presidential election for.
Build costs
One of the first things realtors look at when valuing luxury real estate is the initial build cost. The White House build costs (from the fees for the White House architect, to the materials and labour) came in at a little over $230,000. You might think that sounds reasonable, until you consider that this was way back in 1792. The same project in today's money is estimated to reach closer to $100 million.
Rental income
Rental income also dictates a property's value. With so many rooms inside the White House, the winner of the US elections could probably spare a bedroom or two to some high-paying lodgers.
At present, there are 16 White House bedrooms. Serving as a hotel, each of these could bring in around $1,200 a night. Over the course of a year, that's a cool $5 million – a substantial return, even on a nine-figure price tag.
Comparable properties
Any piece of luxury real estate has its value tied to similar properties in the country. While there's only one White House, there are a few properties that would fetch similar prices according to luxury living experts. Funnily enough, one of these belongs to one of the candidates in the presidential election – Donald Trump. His flashy Floridian pad is valued at around $100m. And here is another comparison: These days Engel & Völkers is proud to market a luxurious estate in Marbella, Spain at a value of €80m.
A final figure
Taking into account the three major factors of the White House listed above, estimates in real estate news have put a price tag of around $90m on the White House. This also includes a slight swelling, due to the prestige of the property. It is the prize of the US elections, after all. Of course, if you were to include all the property's furniture and White House arts, you could expect that figure to balloon to as much as $200m.
Engel & Völkers is a leading voice in US luxury real estate. Take a look at our website for a closer look at our well-appointed homes in 32 countries across four continents.

You're leaving out quite a few analyses that say Obama let Romney make all those false assertions on the opening night and every one of them is going to come back to haunt Romney in later debates (especially the ones where Romney raced to the center, contradicting things he told his "far right base").
Do I think that was a good tactic? Not necessarily. In debate, it isn't a good idea to let false or unsupported assertions go unchallenged.
So I give Obama a C- for debate technique, but I'll give Romney an F for the number of outright falsehoods. Not my opinion - but the opinion of a pile of independent fact checkers. He even repeated already debunked falsehoods. So it goes.

I seem to recall in Simcity 2000, you'd pretty much run out of fund early on while the infrustrucre was incomplete. You'd have a fuctional city, but not truely a good one. A typical tactic was to raise the taxes really high for two years. A lot of people would leave, but the debt would go away and you could finish the infrustucture. After that you would lower the tax rates to minimum to break even and the people and businesses would flood back in. After they settled a little you would raise taxes a few precent until you notice people leaving again, then lower it by a percent or two and maintain that income for most of the rest of the game, as you would gain enough income to expand the city every year, ot replace things that needed replacing without too much of a wait...even it disasters (usually...unless whatever it was wiped out a huge area of your city, that you would have a multiyear problem. Especially with electrical coverage and replacing the vital services (police, fire, and medical) and whatever roadways were lost.
While the country probably wouldn't survive that, since there really isn't someplace we can move to, more income either while stopping spending, or increased income while using that income to rebuild the crumbling parts of the infrustructure, might work out. If the debt can be paid that the taxes lowered again so people can function...then raise taxes back up to provide a reserve for other incidents, or expansion when needed...rather that "oh lets use this extra money to fund this potentially useless program that will score us money but not really do anything for the country."

That was pretty much my take on things as well. My guess is that Obama was preparing for the "I'm going to be firmly planted in the extreme right", and miscalculated on how far Romney would flip back. It's not that Obama didn't have good points (indeed people noted frequently both sides dumped figures like no tomorrow), but there was no real press to emphasize his differences from Romney. His strategy team probably figured Romney would do that for him, as he had been doing for months.
Still, the whole "winner/loser" thing is silly. The while thing was a train wreck in slow motion. The moderator was terrible, both sides couldn't give a single straight answer, facts were distorted and lies were repeated constantly.....ugh. Romney got a victory for being better than expected? That's a new low in debates.
Let's be perfectly honest here. It doesn't really matter what you believe politically, this election cycle has put front and center the joke that is modern politics.
So, this guy gets my vote:

Romney did come off better. But to be honest, I have no idea what he stands on.
I'd say we'll see a better performance from Obama next time, now that he knows what he's dealing with.
Anyway, Obama is probably weakest on domestic issues. It was always going to be difficult for things to go his way in this debate.

Though it's problematic to debate facts in a debate format. Debates based on what is factual, and what isn't, rapidly become tedious.

You can disregard the gist, since how you say things is about as important as the content in broadcasted debates. Think of it as the difference between judo and karate: You can either use the opponent's force against that opponent and thus avoid getting damages, or you go for a hit and potentially get backlash.

Man the democrats seem to be trying really hard to give the election back to Romney now and it almost seems like the race has become one towards becoming the most milquetoast and deceptive candidate one can possibly be. Then again these televised presidential debates have become something of a sham (the redneck patriot centerpiece behind the candidates on the stage, the talking down to viewers and each other). They've basically turned it into a form of night time entertainment and yet it's something that people should be taking seriously. I just can't help but look at the U.S these days and go "wow you guys are so done". The candidates are terrible and liars, the electorate doesn't know jack shit about what's really going on and is just going to vote for whoever says the nicest sounding things, the news is concerned with petty partisanship rather than getting the facts out there and seems to be outright trying to manipulate the election so that the perception is that it's as close as possible so that viewers still tune in and don't think it's a done deal and they don't need to watch the news anymore to keep up with the race, it's almost like it's a game at this point. Like a high school student council election. At this rate no matter who wins this election it's still going to be bad, it's just a matter of levels you're looking to control at this point. Do you want things to stay exactly the same or more than likely get worse under Romney. Does the country sink together in the short term, or does one side stay afloat off the backs of the already unfortunate and then sink a few years later anyway. Those are really the options now. Meanwhile China must be in their absolute glory watching this unfold.
Before this debate I'd have said that Obama is a decent candidate, now honestly I kind of think they both pretty much suck and don't want to talk about or deal with the facts and that a vote for Obama is basically just not a vote for Romney at this point. Brutal!

Crazi Male Neko!
Strike Witches OVA (Mecha Musume)
(i copy the image and uploaded to a photodump account so i won't be leeching... technically xD)
I don't believe many people would be familiar with this new show which should premiere on 8-11-006 according to the main website.
Homepage: http://s-witch.cute.or.jp/index.html
If you are a figure collector, you most likely know about the Mecha Musume vol 1 and vol 2 figures. (By the way, Vol 2 repaint version is on its way out).
Vol 1: http://www.konami.jp/th/figure/mecha/index.html (Out of Print)
Vol 2: http://www.konami.jp/th/figure/mecha2/index.html (Out of Print i believe)
Vol 2:: Repaint:: http://www.konami.jp/th/figure/mecha2_r/index.html (Due to be released)
(Yesh. i personally want the repaints also... but i digress)
These figures are very popular and are rare, if not hard, to find. Getting a full set of these figures is hard, since there are several variants of different figures. A full Vol 2 consists of 8 figures +1 secret, 5 is the normal set.
If you want better idea of the quality and details of the figures, click here. I'm guessing due to the popularity of these figures, they have finally gotten their own anime series. Last time i heard, Gonzo was doing the animation for it.
Official Summary/Blurb of this show in Engrish: "The world had received the attack from the existence of the mystery that appeared suddenly. Only girls who have magic can fight against them. They install arms in an own body, and fight in the sky, the land, and the sea. Fights of girls who defend the world start now."
I wonder how an anime based of figures are going to be like. Will Gonzo succeed in a good story with their amazing animation? ... I wonder... can't wait!
Anime Premieres 8-11-06
Based off Figures ( I think... correct me if i'm wrong)
Homepage: http://s-witch.cute.or.jp/index.html#
Studio: Gonzo
Wallpapers are avaliable under the "SPECIAL" section.
There is a Trailer for the show!
And a lot more... xD
I hope i'm not wrong ..[After watching the trailer... it looks a bit.. strange ... lol]

Reposting my character list, Gonzo uses feminized names of the famous pilots for the characters. Well, in most cases, I couldn't find Mio's and Yoshika's corresponding names, I think they are two main characters, so maybe they are just "original" names, not conversions like all others.
Also, their weapons correspond their countries, for example Erica "flies" a Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6, and her weapons are MG42 and MP40.
Erica Hartmann - Erich Hartmann German. Most successful pilot of all time, 352 aerial victories.
Gertrud Barkhorn - Gerhard Barkhorn German. Second most successful pilot, 301 victories.
Sanya V. Litvyak - Lydia Litvyak Russian. Leading female pilot, 12 victories.
Francesca Lucchini - Franco Lucchini Leading Italian pilot, 26 victories.
Mio Sakamoto - ?
Yoshika Miyafuji - ?
Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke - Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke German. 162 victories.
Lynette Bishop - William Bishop Leading Canadian pilot of World War I, 72 aerial victories. (I'm not sure about this, only one I could found)
Charlotte E. Yeager - Charles "Chuck" Yeager American. 11,5 victories, shot down five enemy aircraft in one day.
Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen - Ilmari Juutilainen Leading Finnish pilot, 94 victories.
Perrine-H. Clostermann - Pierre Clostermann French pilot, 23 victories.
Well, the trailer was indeed weird, but I'm looking forward to this.

hmmm i didnt know they were making this into an anime.
most of the planes and tanks are based off german and japanese models though. i hope they dont do a remake of a world war story. japanese seem to have a habit of changing facts and that offends alot of people.
recent events in the news is where the president of japan keeps visiting that japanese war shrine. now dont get me wrong, the japanese people that bravely fought in the war need to be honored, however, notorious class A war criminals who were convicted in the japanese army should not have their names there. this is upsetting most all asian countries.
think of it like this, if germany had a shrine built for hitler and considered him some sort of ominpotent being and the president of germany offered him gifts once or twice a year, that would upset all of europe.
now to be fair in recent news, i think rhode island, or it may have been maine, they celebrate the day japan officially annouced its surrender to america, i thinks its calll V-J day. now i can see how that may offend people in japan as gloating, but thats not the purpose of the ceremony, where as visiting the war shrine has only one purpose as to give honor to the names there.
i also remember some japanese anime where they made a parody of if japan had won world war II. i havnt seen it though, so i cant comment on it.
but anyway, to stay on topic. i hope the show is good but if they base it on historical facts, it needs to stay historical. and if its a new story, it should stay a new story. i dont have any of the figures but they always did catch my eye. ive seen alot of fan creations on the series too with like battleships and stuff.

The problem arises because, according to the beliefs, departed souls shuck off all the errors, mistakes, and mortal attributes on death -- so there is literally no difference after death between the ancestors whatever they did in life (their karma is taking care of the rest). And since the departed made the world what it is today, one should acknowledge them whether they did good or bad.
Thats the rationalization anyway....
I suspect our "girls" will be fighting some imaginary war --- probably space aliens, the safest of all beings to "dehumanize"
(I'll give them some points for having a nice spread of Aces from a variety of countries)

STRIKE WITCHES Cast and Comments on Web Newtype Hot News (08/10/06)
Chiba Saeko and Tanaka Rie play the two "older sisters," the strict, fiery "oneechan" teacher Sakamoto Mio (age 19) and the gentle, elegant "oneesama" commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilke (age 18), respectively.
From her description, Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke sounds a lot like many Tanaka Rie characters: Lacus Clyne in Gundam SEED (DESTINY), Mariel in Hanaukyou Meidotai (La Verite) / Hanaukyo Maid Team (La Verite), Mikihara Ren in Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Morganna (when she is being deceptively kind, loving and motherly, not when she is being really mean, nasty and evil) in .hack//SIGN, Commander Clodia Soult in the Blue Flow PC game, Queen Diana of Aquitaine in the Musketeer Rouge drama CDs, Princess Frolance Gemonina in the Rune Princess image album CD and video game, etc.

Well, it's just fiction-anime. Even if they were to do a fantasy re-enactment of World War 2 where Japan won, I don't see it any different from all those WWII strategy games that present a "What if.." scenerio that allows players to actually lead Germany to victory.
In any case, the basic premise seems to be : there'll be lots of butt kicking in this anime where the characters are based/inspired from real-life fighter aces. I hope there'll be lots of dogfights in an alternative-version of the battle of Midway or something, though this seems unlikely judging from the official summary. Oh well.

Just watched the raw. It was reccomended to me by a friend who said "If you love Nanoha and Gunslinger Girl this show will be right up your alley."
After seeing it I wonder if he watched it at all or just looked at screenshots.
So here's my opinion.
The good: The animation is extremely solid and the short training exercise is pretty good. If you are into fighter craft it's apparently pretty cool to see your favourite planes symolized by cute girls. I don't really care about planes but I do like guns so it was cool from that aspect.
The medium: Although the characters are likable and interresting it will need a TV series to sufficiently develop such a cast and still retain the story.
The bad: 7 minutes long for over $100cdn. It does come with a figure and a booklet which would make the ultra-short DVD have a solo price of about $40cdn, which is half the price of a normal jp DVD for about 1/6 the animation time. Plain and short, it's a ripoff. However, in this ocean of the internet we can assume not paying for the DVD, and with patience the book and figure will be availible (as they always are) so this may balance out to some. Additionally, to me, the girls in flight mode look pretty rediculous. I've seen many other mechagirl designs which I think would have worked better and would have still been distinguishable as specific aircraft.
Summary: I figure I'm just not in the target market for this so it's big perk of being all for plane buffs is completely lost on me, leaving it at 7 minutes of "it could have been so much better if they did things differently."

Watched it yesterday.
I just feel like there's nothing to say about such a short clip. There was no real message hidden, just a really cuddly thought about friendship. The focus of the item on sale is the figurine anyway, and I'm not sure where I heard this but there's supposed to be a light novel (or a manga?) about it which might reveal more story. But who knows what the future may bring. Maybe even a TV serialization.
I really really wish this to be longer. :|

I think they should've just made a Gadgetrial anime instead. It would've held the same feel, could have been tweaked to still feed the wants of the military buffs through slight character design changes and new characters, and it could work as a short so much better.
Just my two cents

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - In a match commemorating the 40th anniversary of Title IX, Taylor Formico and the Gauchos set a number of school records, but still could not find a way to victory against an extremely hot Cal St. Fullerton side, eventually falling 3-2 (25-17, 22-25, 27-25, 23-25, 15-12).
For the Gauchos (11-12, 4-4), it was the longest match of the season so far at two hours, thirty minutes. All that extra time allowed the Gauchos to record a number of rally-scoring era school records.
As a team, the Gauchos recorded 124 digs - the most in a single match in the rally-scoring era. Freshman libero Taylor Formico continued her stellar season with a 41 dig performance, which ties a school record for the most of all-time in a single match and sets a new one for the rally-scoring era. Their 229 swings as a team were the fifth-most in the rally scoring era.
Despite Formico's 41 digs, someone on the Gauchos needed to account for the other 83 team digs. Junior outside hitter Kara Sherrard had 26 digs -- a new career high -- while Leah Sully (22) and Ali Santi (17) weren't far behind.
In an exceptionally tight and dramatic match, the visiting Titans (11-10, 5-3) were able to claim victory due to a historic performance of their own. Reigning Big West Player of the Week Kayla Neto displayed her credentials to the 272 fans in attendance at the Thunderdome by picking up 35 kills on a whopping 99 swings. Both are the most allowed by the Gauchos in school history. Neto also picked up 20 digs and five blocks, dominating the Gauchos in all facets of the game. Libero Gabrielle Dewberry matched Formico for the majority of the match, finishing with 34 digs of her own.
The Titans have now won five matches in a row and are tied for second place in the Big West Conference with Long Beach State -- an amazing feat considering they went 0-3 out of the gate against conference opponents.
After a sluggish start by UCSB, the two teams really began to do battle in the second game. Over the middle three games, there were 28 ties and 13 lead changes between the two teams, highlighting how close the middle games really were.
The decisive fifth game started out well enough for the Gauchos, as they claimed the first two points and were tied later at 4-4. From there, Kayla Neto willed her team to victory, despite a right arm that was likely sore. She recorded kills on three of the next four points --she was responsible for exactly half of the team's 15 points for the set via her 7 kills and single block assist -- to give the Titans a comfortable path to victory.
"We weren't consistent enough over the course of the match," lamented UCSB Head Coach Kathy Gregory. "When you get to the fifth game, anything can happen."
"And 'anything' happened," she deadpanned.
That inconsistency manifested itself in sub-.100 team hitting percentages in the first and fifth sets, the two in which the Gauchos did not compete as closely. UCSB averaged a .189 clip for the middle three games while limiting Fullerton to a .144 percentage.
Freshman middle blocker Britton Taylor led the Gauchos in kills for the first part of the match. She ended the night with 13 kills and three blocks. Sully led the squad with 20 kills and also picked up a pair of vital aces.
Kara Sherrard had perhaps her strongest match of the season, recording a season-high 16 kills to go along with her aforementioned career high in digs. She also was one of UCSB's strongest passers on the night, and she didn't pick up a reception error for the third time in her last five appearances.
The Gauchos --who have a less than 24 hour turnaround -- will look to get back in the win column tomorrow night against UC Riverside. The match will begin at 7 p.m. in UCSB's Thunderdome.

ForumsQuestionsIs there a Kanban view of tasks using Status as lanes?
Is there a Kanban view of tasks using Status as lanes?
Is there any tool or way to view a set of tasks (saved search/otherwise) in a Kanban type of view? I'd love it if the Status' could map to columns, and I suppose folders or parent tasks for lanes. It would be great to have a visual view of projects/tasks (tasks/subtasks or folders/tasks) and be able to visually drag/drop tasks into various states.
I'm also very interested in this. Let me make a suggestion to all those developers out there: spend time on this instead of yet another android app or desktop app. Someone with html5 skills could implement all this rather easily while also incorporating offline support. I'd be a paying subscriber to that (note to Toodledo: adding this to your lineup and I'd be Platinum in a second).
I played around with TileTabs in Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tile-tabs/) to achieve a column layout (using the m.toodledo.com). But for now I settle for the row layout iso of the column layout (though this does impose a "mental" cost every time).
I too would love to have this. At the moment I'm running my big list in Toodledo and then selecting stuff to move to one of a number of Trello boards. It would be great to do it all in one board.
All I'd need is the primary statuses (planning, next, active, completed) to be viewable as columns.

Here is another vote for a Kanban view. I agree with nick about using the status for the column titles. There is just something very nice about being able to see tasks spatially on a board that list views can't give you.
Another vote. Should be relatively simple to implement this view and have it look to any number of fields for defining the columns. We wouldnt have a true "free" structure of trello, where you can define on the fly, but I think that would actually be better.

I have been useing a Web Server package called KeyFocus Web Server. As I am by no means a expert on any type of server I would like to share my thoughts and opinions on the product from a newbie standpoint.
From a newbie standpoint I rate KeyFocus 10/10.
Will try to sumerize.
Edit: The site address for KeyFocus is www.keyfocus.net Note the extension .net as keyfocus.com is owned by someone else.
Trying to keep this product review as short as possible, But overall I give this a thumbs up and recomend it for anyone new to servers who would like to know how to run their own web site from home.Tryed a few web servers other then KeyFocus, namely Apache for windows and one called Omni httpd. In my opinion KeyFocus is very much newbie friendly and has also advanced features for those more experinced.
KeyFocus does not require you to edit a config file, though you can. This is all controlled from your admin acount web page. By default this is running on port 9727 and limited by default to access only by localhost. Initialy your admin password is not set so as soon as you access your admin page it will ask you to set a password.
The server sits on your task bar in the system tray, it will start flashing when the server is servering a request which I think is a nice feature. Haveing Windows 98 Some software cause resource leaks, I have not noticed that with KeyFocus, it runs smothly.
From a security standpoint I am impresed at the companys focus on security. There are many new and built in security features that have been added and improved. Restricted character set alowed in a GET request. Limit amount of maximum simultanious conections. Protection against brute force and birthday atacks. The Sin Bin and Banish Bin for temporary an permanent banning of clients who make excessive or malicious type requests.
It suports CGI, PHP and ASP but does not suport SSI. The FAQ and suport page on keyfocus home page offer directions on how to set these up. An intersting and unique feature is that KeyFocus developed their own lanage called kfl language, and though they have yet to write documentation on the language the sorce code can be downloaded and is actauly easy to learn from.
Notew: That I have noticed some ISPs have running your own server against the AUP. Check first.

Sandy Alderson said he'd like to stay on as general manager of the New York Mets for another two or three years.
In judging Alderson's first three years, we must first understand why he was hired, and it wasn't to build a winning team – at least not initially.
Alderson might have had the Mets in the playoffs had he thrown good money after bad, as the franchise was doing since the end of the 2007 season when they bid against themselves to sign Johan Santana.
Alderson's objective was to put the Mets in position to win by changing their economic structure, which meant first stripping the team of its cumbersome, unproductive contracts.
It began by getting out from under the contracts of Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo, which meant eating salary, but counteracting that by not bringing in more payroll.
Next Francisco Rodriguez had to go, which happened in a trade to Milwaukee. Then Alderson had to buy out Jason Bay and wait for Santana's contract to expire.
With over $75 million off the books and the Wilpons getting a favorable ruling in the Madoff scandal, Alderson could slowly rebuild the Mets.
There are three ways to build a team: trades, free agency and the draft. Let's look at how Alderson has fared in these categories.
TRADES: Alderson has completed four significant trades with the Mets, beginning with sending Francisco Rodriguez to Milwaukee in 2011 for pitching prospects Adrian Rosario and Danny Herrera. Neither prospect has amounted to much, but the key was getting out from under Rodriguez's contract, which would have been $17.5 million in 2012 or a $3.5 million buyout.
The Mets tired of Rodriguez's high-wire act on the mound and explosive personality off the field, which included assaulting his fiancé and her father, the latter inside Citi Field.
Alderson's second big trade was to obtain pitching prospect Zack Wheeler from San Francisco for Carlos Beltran, which saved the Mets an $18.5 million option on the outfielder.
Beltran remains a productive player, but Wheeler is a key to the Mets' pitching foundation.
Next, Alderson sent 2012 Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, whom the Mets wouldn't be able to afford to re-sign, and catcher Josh Thole to Toronto for catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud, pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard and catcher John Buck.
Finally, after a productive first half of the 2013 season, Buck was traded to Pittsburgh for reliever Vic Black and second base prospect Dilson Herrera.
So, at the cost of three players whom the Mets would not, or did not, want to keep, they obtained Wheeler, d'Arnaud, Syndergaard, Black and Herrera, all of whom represent inexpensive building blocks.
On the negative side, Alderson has not been able to resolve the first base logjam by trading Ike Davis. There could still be time as reportedly Baltimore and Pittsburgh are still monitoring the Mets in the possibility of making a trade.
It also must be remembered it has been difficult for the Mets to trade because they want to keep their young pitching and have few other chips to deal.
FREE-AGENCY: Unquestionably, Alderson's biggest decision was to bring back captain and centerpiece, All-Star third baseman David Wright to an eight-year, $138-million extension last winter.
His other key decision was to not bring back Jose Reyes, which was a good move in that it gave them the latitude to keep Wright. Also, Reyes is a speed player with a history of leg injuries making the likelihood of him breaking down very real.
Alderson also signed Byrd, which he parlayed into prospects, and outfielder Chris Young, which is not a popular decision.
He also spent this offseason on Curtis Granderson and Bartolo Colon. The outcome of those two remain to be seen.
Alderson receives criticism for the signings he did not make, such as Bronson Arroyo. Some of it is fair if one is looking at the short term. When looking at the long term it isn't because it doesn't take into account his initial plan, which was to restructure the Mets economically and then build them up.
However, signing reliever Frank Francisco to a two-year contract was a bust.
It can also be argued by offering Davis arbitration when they really don't want him was a mistake. However, that can be erased if Davis is eventually traded.
DRAFTING: Matt Harvey, by the way, was drafted by Omar Minaya's regime. It is too soon to make a call on prospects pitcher Rafael Montero, who could come up this season, outfielder Brandon Nimmo and catcher Kevin Plawkecki.
Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon said the organization's biggest weakness is a lack of position-player prospects in the minor leagues.
Conclusion: Alderson was hired not to make the Mets immediately competitive, but to put them in position to compete within four years. That timetable was pushed back because of Harvey's injury.
His first priority was to strip the Mets of non-productive payroll, which he accomplished. Ownership likes him, so if he wants to stay he will stay.
ON DECK: The market remains open for Ike Davis.

One of the greats of Japanese fashion design, Yohji Yamamoto presented his first eponymous collection in Tokyo in 1977 before debuting at the Paris ready-to-wear shows in 1981. A menswear collection followed in 1984. The Yohji Yamamoto look is avant-garde and somehow removed from seasonal trends. He often employs oversized garments within his designs, with black usually the staple shade. Yohji's understanding of fabric and how it drapes on the body give his collections a unique quality.

A daring, distinctive fragrance. A floral-woody-green fragrance with perfect balance, housed in a bottle hand-sealed with a baudruche film. The last fragrance launched and worn by Gabrielle Chanel. An uncompromising composition, in the image of Mademoiselle. N°19 is the other great number by CHANEL. The last fragrance Gabrielle Chanel ever launched or wore. A fragrance that pays tribute to the day she was born: August 19, 1883. When the idea for this new women's fragrance came to mind, she met with resistance from those around her who did not think a new fragrance could exist alongside N°5. But Coco refused to give up and asked Henri Robert for a composition with a personality just as strong as that of N°5. And her request was granted, in a completely different olfactory composition: a contrasting accord of green and powdery notes. Mademoiselle passed away just a few weeks after the launch of the new fragrance, on January 10, 1971. "To be irreplaceable, you must be different": N°19 is the final masterpiece from this extraordinary, daring and radiant female personality.

I'm Sylvia from Southeast Texas. I am a lifelong atheist, and like I read in someone else's recent post, I have never thought to look online for atheist forums. I am so used to just keeping my thoughts to myself as I have always done here in this part of the country. I never knew an atheist outside my own family until I went to college when my kids were small. Recently I was invited to join a local Freethinker's group via Facebook. It's been refreshing to meet some of those people in person and to be able to feel free to express myself. I look forward to getting to know a lot of the folks here.

More than 20 weekends at the race track
More than 20 weekends at the race track
For over ten years, AUDI AG's motorsport exploits have been closely linked to one name: Dr Wolfgang Ullrich (55). Since November 1993, the native of Vienna has been directing the motorsport activities of the premium brand from Ingolstadt in his capacity as Head of Audi Sport. Under his direction Audi simultaneously won the Touring Car Championships in seven countries, clinched as many as five victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, seven consecutive victories in the 12 Hours of Sebring (USA) and in 2004, the year of the brand's return to the DTM as a manufacturer, all three titles in Europe's most popular touring car series straight away. The Audi A4 quattro, the Audi R8 and the Audi A4 DTM represent three of Audi Sport's most successful projects launched during his watch. And the new Audi R10 TDI diesel-powered sportscar has proved its race-winning qualities already!
The 2006 season will be particularly stressful for the Head of Audi Sport. In the DTM, the American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Audi will be competing with factory teams. For Dr Wolfgang Ullrich this means spending more than 20 weekends at the race track and having little time for his biggest hobby – his family. "When we're having fun together, this gets rid of the stress very quickly," relates Dr Ullrich, whose wife Antje used to work with Motorsport Communication at Audi and consequently understands that her husband needs to travel so much on the job.
The couple have a six-year-old son (Timo) who is a big DTM fan. Dr Ullrich's daughter Barbara (25), from his first marriage, is more interested in football – caused by her grandfather Josef "Pepi" Ullrich, who has been a successful professional footballer and who became the "goal-scoring champion" twice in a row in France.

Connect to Congress: Countdown to Gorsuch confirmation hearings
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - On Monday the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will begin public hearings regarding the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gorsuch, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, was nominated by President Donald Trump back in January. The ninth seat on the high court's bench has been vacant for over a year, due to Associate Justice Antonin Scalia's death in February 2016.
Since his nomination, Gorsuch has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, meeting with members of the U.S. Senate from both parties.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles "Chuck" Grassley, R-Iowa, expects Gorsuch will make a good impression.
"He's very, very intelligent, very, very thoughtful, writes very well and very precisely," Grassley said in a one-on-one interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group. "But I think the most important thing beyond that is what he stated when President Trump announced it, he said judges are supposed to judge and legislators are supposed to legislate."
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are worried, however, that Gorsuch may not live up to his own words.
"The president who nominated him established a litmus test," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Sinclair at a press conference Wednesday. "That litmus test required him to be anti-women's health, anti-choice, pro-guns or anti-gun violence measures, and of a conservative bend."
There's also lingering anger over the Senate GOP's refusal to consider the nomination of Merrick Garland, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and former President Barack Obama's pick for the vacancy.
"The Merrick Garland history shadows this nominee because the reasons for preventing Merrick Garland going on the court have to do with special-interest politics," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., member of the Judiciary Committee, said. "It's not really [Gorsuch's] fault that he was chosen, but it's a powerful signal of the play of special interests in this nomination."
Grassley says his decision to not fully consider Garland was a fair one.
"Everybody thought that Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president of the United States. I said, if I'm chairman of the committee, we're going to move the nominee for the next president of the United States. So, I'm keeping my word," Grassley stated.
Democrats on the committee have also said their feelings on the Garland treatment as well as any reservations against Gorsuch on ideological grounds shouldn't affect the tone of the proceedings.
"I'm going to be asking tough and aggressive questions," Blumenthal said. "I know my colleagues will as well, but it won't be an interrogation. It will be respectful."
Grassley added that Gorsuch will be able to take anything the committee throws at him, predicting, "I expect his discipline of how he handles himself in a very fair, but more importantly knowledgeable way that I think is going to bring other people around to being less political."
Grassley says the hearings will span Monday through Thursday next week.
On Monday the 20-member Senate Judiciary Committee and Gorsuch will make their opening statements.
Tuesday and Wednesday the nominee will face multiple rounds of questioning from committee members, much of it based on the questionnaires and documents Gorsuch had to file with the committee prior to the hearing date.
On Thursday the American Bar Association will testify why it gave Gorsuch a "well qualified" rating.
Also on Thursday dozens of other witnesses - some representing organizations and others representing themselves - will testify both on behalf Gorsuch as well as against his nomination to the court.
Grassley believes once the hearings are complete, Gorsuch will be confirmed and in place in about a month.
"I hope no later than Saturday, April 8 he will be confirmed, and then in a few days sworn in and probably will be on the court for the last few cases that they have to hear between now and their adjournment, the last week of June," Grassley said.
But as of now, the nominee will need a 60-vote, filibuster proof majority - known as the cloture rule - to take the bench and there are only 52 Republicans in the Senate.
"There's an important question that Republicans have to answer, which is do they intend to break the cloture rule on this nominee?" Whitehouse asked
Trump has already publicly mentioned that Senate GOP leaders should consider the so-called "nuclear option," requiring a simple 51-vote majority in the 100-member body to confirm Gorsuch if the Senate cannot reach the 60-vote threshold.

Any description of the new Challenger Model 680B Class VIII combine, which is slated to hit the market in time for the 2006 harvest, is bound to contain a few adjectives… the most frequently used being "first," "largest" and "biggest."
"Customers will find a number of industry-leading features on this innovative machine," says Bruce Hart, general marketing manager for Challenger combines. "Among them is the 'largest rotor in the industry.' Measuring 31.5 inches in diameter and 140 inches in length, it allows the 680B to operate at higher ground speeds for maximum productivity in a wide variety of crops."
Just the beginning
However, this is just the beginning of the 680B's impressive feature list, which also includes a massive 350-bushel grain tank; a 425-horsepower Caterpillar engine, and a generous 230-gallon fuel tank.
The 680B additionally boasts the fastest unloading rate in the industry at 4.5 bushels per second. That's quick enough to shave up to 45 minutes off the daily unloading time compared to similar-sized competitive models.
"One of the best features of the 680B, though, is its simplicity," Hart adds. "Like the smaller 660 and 670 models, it uses only 11 belts and three drive chains to operate the entire machine. That translates into fewer adjustments, less grain loss and decreased downtime and maintenance."
The Advanced Harvesting System rotor (AHS) for example, performs four major functions-intake, threshing, separation and discharge-without the extra augers, drives, gears and discharge rotors found on other machines.
Powered by a dedicated hydrostatic drive system and an electronic control system that regulates oil flow, it maintains a selected rotor speed regardless of changes in the engine speed or field conditions. A three-speed gearbox allows the operator to select the ultimate torque and speed range up to 1,040 rpm.
Should a plug occur, the operator can also reverse the rotor without leaving the cab, using full hydrostatic power.
Power to operate the new Model 680B comes from a 12.5-liter (766 cu. in.) Caterpillar C13 engine. Featuring the latest ACERT technology and ADEM 4 electronics, it meets all mandated engine emissions requirements without sacrificing performance, durability or reliability. It also offers a power boost of 459 horsepower at 1,900 rpm to handle the tough challenges that occur during harvest.
The 680B has its soft side, too, particularly when it comes to the operator. It starts with 121.4 cubic feet of space inside the cab for total comfort and room to stretch out. Naturally, a fully adjustable, cloth-covered seat is standard.
The 680B cab amenities also include a 14-inch leather covered steering wheel; a companion seat with its own seat belt, back rest, under-seat storage, and power adjustable mirrors.
GTA Console II system
"Another unique feature that is standard on the 680B is the new GTA Console II system," says Hart. "Featuring CAN Bus electronics and a microprocessor-based monitor, it offers system diagnostics, interlock, environmental control and flex logging of combine functions via CAN Bus interface."
To learn more about the Model 680B combine, or any of the other 600 Series models, visit your nearest Challenger dealer or go to the Challenger Web site at www.challengerag.com.

Queen Put at Risk by Workfare Provider
At 2300 Saturday 2nd of June 2012, a coachload of Tired, untrained and ill equipped people left Bristol by coach for London and the Queens Jubilee.
At around 0240 they were dropped off by the side of a road with their Baggage and Tents and left stood for more than an hour along with 80 other people.
Having Had no sleep at 0415 these people were told that at 0500 they would be starting a 16 hour shift.
No these are not migrant workers, these are Security Staff for the Queen.
Ages ranging from 16 to 50 with one thing in common. Unpaid and on "work experience".
Almost all of those that left Bristol last night were still not SIA qualified, Some had been told they would be paid for working and that they should "Sign Off" benefits before starting, which turned out to be a falsehood, mistake or lie, I cannot say which.
But at the very least I can say that Tomorrows People, the DWP Service provider, who handle these people, are Failing them Badly.
Tomorrows people Placed young claimants on an SIA style course with a company who Break DWP rules and Regulations on working Hours, Travel distance and Responsibility for Training and Equipment.
For some this will be the First experience of work, for some it is the First time they have been away from home, for all of them it will be one of the most depressing and soul destroying things they will have done.
So "Why do they do it?"
All those people have been promised Proper paid work at the Olympic Games with pay of up to £9000 for doing it.
Well a carrot like that to people who may not have worked in a long time if at all can make them do the most stupid things.
Tomorrows people Need to sort out their so called subcontractor.
The Organisors of the Jubilee need to vet their security subcontracters more carefully.
And the DWP need to make sure that All those promised paid work during the games are given it.
Hopefully none of the untrained security staff who have all been up for more than 12 hours so far will be called upon to protect the Queen, because they will be unable to do anything due to exhaustion.
Last night I drove to a campsite just off the M11 and collected 2 of the people let down by CPuk, who, it turns out organised (if thats the right word) this clusterfck of Work experience.
When I arrived close to 2300 hours They were stood in a field soaking wet, shivering with cold and close to exhaustion. One was dressed only in Shirt and slacks as she had not been provided with any waterproof coat, save for a lightweight poncho and a hi vis vest for the jubilee event.
Some muppet had put up their tents with doors open and the insides were soaked along with their possessions, even if they had decided to stay they would have to have sleep in wet tents and sleeping bags.
At 0900 Sunday morning they had been given a paper bag with a Sandwich, Muffin and packet of crisps in and told " dont eat that now its your lunch". A paper bag, in heavy rain, 3 hours before lunchtime with no way of keeping it dry.
One of them had been refused use of toilet facilities and hadnt been able to P for almost 24 hours, she had been forced to change into " uniform" for the event in the open as there were no changing facilities with other male staff refusing to give her privacy, " I had to change next to a van in public and a bloody red bus stopped almost right in front of me"..
This is a young woman , First time in london, first time away overnight without a member of her family trying to comply with DWP rules.
Well as far as I am concerned she did herself proud. While others had given up and left in the morning , she stuck it through til after the Queen had passed and the crowd dispersed before asking for help.
She has taken a couple of photos and has agreed to send them to me when she wakes for posting.
She slept almost all the way back to Bristol last night, and when she was helped into her home byan elder brother she was obviously finding it hard to walk.
I had only had to drive up and back and I felt like crap when I got into my home 20 minutes later.
As an additional comment I hope that Prince Philip gets better soon.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/04/jubilee-pageant-unemployed for Press cover.
It is a shame however that contrary to Close Protection uk statement that training had been completed, I know that some staff had not yet been trained in First Aid ( a requirement) or taught how to safely restrain people without causing injury ( a requirement).
To say that this was to weed out those unsuitable for working in the security industry is pure BS. Close Protection uk wanted free labour.
I am a little confused by a comment in the Guardian, please can someone clarify this?
As one of those workers who was there I have to say that the opinions of people who weren't there is frankly disgusting. The experiance we gained was priceless and the training we have received was also priceless to use but very costly to the company. This newspaper paper has taken the lies of a few unhappy employees and ran with it too further their own political opinions. This terrible untruthful article could lead to the unemployment of 50 people just because a few people couldn't handle it. I would love to discuss this with the editor but I am sure he doesn't care as he has furthered Labours political message. I am also shocked that John Prescott has waded into the subject based on a one sided article why not ask the people who were there. There was 90 or so people who loved and can't wait to go to the Olympics but your poor journalism has now ruined that and could see us back on the dole line
According to CPuk they sent upto 80 people there, we know that this story concerns 30 of them collectivly and 2 in particular.
That leaves 50 people ( my maths teacher would be so proud) so who were the 90 happy ones who would do it again?, and considering a few left in the morning rather than put up with the treatment they recieved, why has CPuk not mentioned these happy 90 people. Could it be that they have bussed more in from elsewhere or does Mr or Mrs Disgustedreader need to rethink wether his/her statement rings true.
Also I recieved this message from someone trustworthy so i shall post it.
"I gather they were initially turned down as unfit to hold an Olympic contract. Well, "not skilled enough". More in Guardian tomorrow."
If indeed true , why have CPuk been given the contracts after all??
A comment on Guardian website which caught my eye in response to:
watershed99, 5 June 2012 10:18PM
What I think would be interesting at this point would be for someone to explain whether
Molly Prince, director of Vision Lifestyle Ltd. and Commitment Fitness Ltd., both registered at 15 King St, Hindley, Wigan, WN2 3AW, whose director ID number is 916699536 is the same person as
Mary Prince, director of Close Protection UK Ltd, and several other companies (now dissolved), also registered at that address, and director ID number is 911160566 given that
Molly Prince, who is a Bokwa Fitness Instructor, appears to be the spokesperson for Close Protection UK Ltd., and apparently is also the person who set up the Leadership Development Centre with the help of Salford University's Business Incubation Unit.
There will be some, as there always are, who will believe that the 2 kids mentioned in this are both 'Scroungers' or using this story to get money, so let me tell you all something that hasn't made it to press.
Earlier tonight I had a conversation with the Guardians picture desk. The work experience person who took the photo below was asked if they wanted to be paid for it as other papers were requesting the right to use it. Normally the Guardian would get between £80 – £100 for allowing that and the person who took the picture gets Half.
That work experience person refused to accept the offer of cash for the picture.
You may be thinking its only £40 -£50 but thats each time another paper uses it.
If the story was a way to make money they could have , just by saying yes.
I know I should have posted this earlier but other things on my mind so here it is now.
51.674368,0.105426 if you paste that into Google maps you will see where CPuk had their staff 'Camping' tho without the rain and the mud.
Not easy to get to in the dark and the rain , even harder to class as 'onsite' for the jubilee.
Just been told that 1 of the mothers of work exp kids may be on BBC Radio 2 Live programme. Programme starts at 12 weekdays. I can confirm that John Prescott will be on it and has been contacted by other kids and parents whose children were treated in the same miserable fashion.
Taken from Tomorrows people Statement on Twitter "For the clients over 25 taking part, it is not in their interest to be paid for short term work if they are receiving Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), because they would have to sign off the benefit when they take on a position and back on again immediately after. The clients taking part who were under 25 are part of the modern apprenticeship programme and therefore came off benefit to take up these employed positions as they are being paid the standard apprenticeship"
More than 1 person on that was UNDER 25 and not paid.
please feel free to see how much they truly care about the jobseekers in their care.
Prospects an associate of CPuk have removed this from public view also https://viewer.zoho.com/docs/lcbbbie how many other sanctioned companies are in this scam?
Sent this to Tomorrows people in an email.
Last night on the Newsnight Programme Baroness Scott stated that Tomorrows people had contacted ALL those involved to apologise and see if they were ok.
That's a LIE from the Baroness, To quote 1 of those that has not been contacted " Bo**ocks no one asked me if I was ok"
Baroness Scott seems to believe that a company (CPuk) whose Boss had had many Failed security companies were perfect to use finding the unemployed work.
Does anyone else who maybe reading this blog, who owns their own business, not make checks on contractors they use?
And while I am on a bit of a rant, WHY are Tomorrows People paying a PR company.
£3,000,000 is given to Tomorrows People each year by the Govt. Shouldn't it be spent getting people back to work. Why are Tomorrows People paying some staff between £80,000 and £100,000 a year.
Correction from me.
"That's a LIE from the Baroness, To quote 1 of those that has not been contacted " Bo**ocks no one asked me if I was ok" " Should read " I was told by my staff that they were beingg contacted but are still in the process"
There you go Cicero-Group I have amended it, and thank you for another number to add to the list of people Tomorrows people sent
"Please be assured that we have been speaking to everyone who we can get hold of and contacting all 94 people involved. "
So that's 80, now 94 from Tomorrows People And 30,80 ,220 from CPuk.
I suggested that Tomorrows People should not associate with CPuk any more but I have a feeling that they won't. After all here will Tomorrows People put people then?
Getting back to CPuk.
Molly Mary Just keeps giving and giving.
And here is more to think about http://www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Documents/networks/close-protection/sia_cp_network_notes_3.pdf.
In it there is a company called Close Protection Worldwide.com as well as members of the SIA and the Met.
Close Protection Worldwide have their HQ at 10 BROAD STREET NEWTOWN WALES SY16 2NA (Use Google streetview)
Do you notice any similarities?
CPUK.COM one of molly/mary failed companies had a place in reading ( look up that company address and streetview it.
Close Protection uk has its wigan office again streetview it.
Read the report and hopefully you will see how Dirty these people are and how Molly/Mary got her contracts for the Olympics and managed to get Jobseekers working for her may seem a bit clearer.
You might want to read this too if you think Molly/Mary company is above board.
Cash at Bank : £2,489
Net Worth : £58,600
Total Current Liabilities : £271,351
Total Current Assets : £317,894
So where is the money coming from to Pay Max Clifford or any of her staff?
And what about the Olympics contract?
Communicating via email through the PR company Max Clifford Associates, Prince said she was unable to discuss the fire-marshalling contract because it included a non-disclosure clause. She said CPUK won the contract because "the main contractor does not have sufficient staff".
The Observer has confirmed that CPUK's fire marshals have not been tested during practice drills at the Olympic stadium. A test took place at the stadium on 5 May, before the contract was awarded, which involved marshals provided by another company bidding to supply the service. "It was not essential that CPUK were at the stadium," said a spokeswoman for Locog, the body organising the Games. "They were tested at bigger and more complex events and their performance was monitored by an accredited external fire engineer, the London Fire Brigade, and the venue teams, amongst others. They received very positive feedback from all parties."
Well since the only other venue some of the Tomorrows People went on was a football match in Bristol where there was no sign of London Fire Brigade and the kids were only shadowing stewards at the match and watching people through the gate. How can LOCOG say they were monitored. Or did they, like Tomorrows People, just take CPuks word.
Still on the olympics, Companies need to show they have access to £700,000 to be considered.. So why not this company?
Another Molly company
Commitment Fitness Limited
It's a public limited company with share capital. but only registered in February so wonder what its bank balance looks like.
I wonder how many more logistical errors this company has had.
And funny how it was the coach driver last time and the minibus driver this time blamed !
Tomorrow People Additional.
I have just returned from meeting two of Tomorrows People staff at their Bristol office.
I can honestly say that the BRISTOL staff have shown concern for the clients sent to London with CPuk and are trying to address their needs.
I still do not believe there were sufficient checks made on CPuk.
Tomorrows People Trust however ( Head office not Bristol) Have a lot to answer for.
The statement released june 6th was generalised to the point where mistreated clients were basically called liars. Thankfully Bristol Staff appear to have looked more carefully at what has happened.
An apology from TPT Head office would go a long way.

Hello. I will try my best to explain the issue i am having, as i don't completely understand whats going on.
My mouse freezes a lot. The touchpad is unusable, so I bought a usb mouse and even that one messes up sometimes. Also, I occasionally encounter a system freeze that can only be undone through manual reboot. Iv tried to update but have encountered issues there to. These issues have been pretty new, as iv been using arch linux for a while now and only recently came to have these problems. any assistance would be appreciated. thanks in advanced.
It might be difficult since your problems are somewhat vague, but could you change your topic title to something more descriptive? Even "Mouse/touchpad and system freezes" would be better than the current title.

While it's captured by the above - a specific example of what you can give is actual output or error messages from the updates in which you have "encountered issues".
The mouse/touchpad problems do not likely produce any (obvious) error messages, so it's not unreasonable for those to be a bit more cryptic - but the update attempts definitely produce output ... share it.
The mouse/touchpad problems may leave some useful information in dmesg logs - particularly right after you connect the mouse.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Lipscomb sophomore defender, Omar Djabi, was chosen by TopDrawerSoccer.com as a preseason top 20 player to watch in the Atlantic Sun Conference this season.
The Franklin, Tenn. native was selected to the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman team last season after starting in 18 games that he appeared in, leading the Bisons in minutes played. Djabi was also named to the All-Tournament team at the Belmont Mafiaoszo tournament.
Djabi honed his skills this past summer playing for the Rocket City United of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL). He hopes that this experience will help him play the best to help out the team leading to victories.
As a defender, personal stats get thrown out the window, being the last line of defense is what gets Djabi excited.
"We try to get shutouts and not let other teams score," Djabi said. "When recovering the ball you just look for the open person and maybe you get the assist."
The Bisons open regular season play with a game at Evansville on Friday, Aug. 24, before returning home on Sunday, Aug. 26 with a tilt against Eastern Illinois.

I love that idea! I realize sometimes I focus on quantity instead of quality - just reading as much as I can and then not absorbing anything I read. Focusing on one chapter or even one verse and understanding it and living it would be much better. "Less is more." Thank you.ReplyDelete
What a great idea! Does the chapter get chosen randomly each week or is there a plan?ReplyDelete
I usually start my day with the devotional from the Upper Room Discipline. Usually it follows our minister's sermon lectionary and is followed up by the pastor's reflections the following Sunday. It is always neat to see if I came out with the same conclusions.ReplyDelete
I love the methods where you can repeatedly here God saying something new everyday through the same scriptures only because we have time to meditate on them. Thanks.ReplyDelete
This would be a great way to learn more from just one portion. I'll have to give it a try.ReplyDelete
My Bible has 4 translations in it. I like to read each one in turn.ReplyDelete

Yes! I'm with you on the benefits of repetition and focus. Here's something I found and it's very eye-opening for me already.ReplyDelete

When we pray we speak to God. When we read Holy Scripture God speaks to us AngharadReplyDelete
EmptyNester..Not so much random as reading scripture that talks about God's Word. And to see the importance of reading His Word. Last week we read Psalm 19 and this week we are readingReplyDelete
