Welcome to Hercules Movers
Moving? Relax and leave the moving to us!
Moving can be one of the most stressful ordeals in our lives. Because you are not merely moving your belongings from one location to another. Your life is actually changing at this time.
However, if you get organized and plan ahead, you can make sure your family enjoys the smoothest possible move.
Every move, whether large or small, is a complicated business. We at Hercules Movers are here to offer you our professional, expert services and more importantly, peace of mind.
Moving is always stressful, no matter how well prepared you are for it. At Hercules Movers Inc, a moving company based in New Jersey, we firmly believe that moving is as much an emotional process as it is physical. After all, you are saying goodbye to a place (home or office) that was a part of your life and has associated memories.
During the move, if you have to constantly keep wondering whether you packed item 'A' or if item 'B' (breakable) has been pushed under the bottom of other heavy stuff, obviously you cannot focus on the final goodbye. And if you get emotionally involved with moving, the chances are that item A would be left behind or you will find item B broken to smithereens when you unpack at the new location. Is there a way to help you strike a balance? One word answer - yes. Extending the answer to two words - Hercules Movers.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are Hercules Movers, who can offer a professional solution to all your moving requirements. We take the stress out of your life while you are moving out and moving in, allowing you to focus on other important details including making an emotionally satisfying farewell to your old home (or office).
We are one of the leading New York moving companies and offer our services for clients throughout the tri-state area.

All current produced items are made of crystal glass and lead free.
For a perfect result:
- Wash under warm water, detergent is not necessary.
- Place on line to drain for the time begin.
- For extra shine, steam over boiling water.
To polish use microfiber polishing cloths: Hold glass by base and polish. Use left hand to cradle the bowl and polish with your right hand. Never twist the base and bowl.
To avoid scratches: Avoid contact with other glass or metal. lf available use a stemware rack.
To avoid stains: Use soft water (low mineral content).
To remove stains: Use white vinegar.
We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are "cut", which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being "rolled" which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.

Gymnastics team earns solid results at nationals
March 30, 2012 | Salt Lake City, Utah
Liberty University picked up a pair of top 20 finishes to highlight their trip to the 2012 National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs National Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah, this past weekend.
In their first trip to nationals, the men's team placed 17th out of 58 teams. David Tighe finished 5th in the vault and Steve Lucia finished 14th.
The women's team placed in the top 15 out of 58 teams, despite being without senior captain Rachel Steele, who broke her hand in warm-ups.
"Even with this horrible turn of events, the athletes picked themselves up and performed amazingly," said head coach Mariah Dailey.
The women's team was led by freshman Alyssa Frost, who placed 13th in the balance beam and 16th in the all-around competition, and Jill Wippermann, who took 18th in the all-around and qualified for three event finals: vault, 11th; floor exercise, 14th and balance beam, 21st.

Ten (Out of 10,000) Things To Do During ABMB 2012By Arielle Castillo | November 27th, 2012 | 12 Comments
Starting early next week, the annual onslaught of events surrounding Art Basel Miami Beach begins (and with it our #beachedbasel photo contest). Inarguably the high point of the Miami social calendar, we can all admit that at least half the fun comes from observing the human zoo that pours into town from ever corner of the globe. At the center of it all, of course, is the massive ABMB fair itself, housed in the cavernous Miami Beach Convention Center. But even that only represents a slice of the action.

ROCKFORD – Contempt proceedings against the special prosecutor once appointed to investigate State's Attorney Lou Bianchi concluded Thursday, but a judge said he needs time to digest the document-heavy case before reaching a decision.
The case against attorney Thomas McQueen centers on emails between McQueen and investigators from Quest Consultants. He is accused of withholding information that could have been useful to Bianchi's defense in two corruption trials. Such materials are required to be shared between parties.
Winnebago County Judge Joseph McGraw will render his decision on Jan. 10. If found guilty, McQueen could face a maximum of six months in jail.
The emails surfaced when more than 17,000 documents were turned over to Bianchi from Quest during a federal civil-rights case against McQueen and Henry Tonigan, another special prosecutor on the Bianchi case.
Tonigan since has settled the civil-rights case, agreeing to pay $157,500, but not admitting any fault.
McQueen's attorney Steve Puiszis called this week's proceedings a "selective prosecution," brought about by Bianchi and Ekl to get McQueen to settle the civil lawsuit.
If any witness statements were not tendered to the defense, or altered as Ekl claimed, it was inadvertent, Puiszis said, and not a willful violation of McGraw's orders. Before Bianchi's trials, the judge ordered McQueen to turn over all witness statements and the investigators' hand-written notes.
"What we have here is a good-faith effort by an honest man trying to comply with your honor's orders the best he can," Puiszis said.
McQueen took the stand Thursday for a drawn-out day of testimony, that grew tense at times.
Ekl accused McQueen of "outright lying" and being politically or financially motivated to force the state's attorney's resignation.
"The goal was to indict Lou Bianchi, those were your marching orders, wasn't it, Mr. McQueen?" Ekl said.
To which McQueen fired back: "Who are these people, counsel?"
Bianchi was acquitted in both criminal cases – one in 2010 alleging he campaigned on county time, and in a second in 2011 in which he was accused of fixing cases for politically-connected defendants. Both were tossed before the defense presented any evidence.
The state's attorney and Ekl have called McQueen's alleged misconduct an affront to the court.
"This case is not about Lou Bianchi," Ekl said in his closing argument. "This case is not about Terry Ekl … This case is about the court's dignity and its authority to issue orders and have them complied with by lawyers."
Neither McQueen nor his attorneys wished to comment after court adjourned.

Going to make us a nice, big sticky where we can review effects processors (yes, we can count dynamics/pres as effects).
A few things - you have to have owned said piece of gear. twiddling in guitar center is not the same as putting it in your rack/pedal board. It is also a review, not a place to air out greivances against Alesis or whatever. If you think the MidiVerb sucks, tell us why. The big one? you can only post reviews in here. If somebody posts a review of one of those fancy new eventide pedals and you want to know more, make a thread about it. That way, we can keep it compact, and maybe I could think of a way of indexing it. Finally, make your own format, dont review like this -

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—On the corner of 5th Street and College Street in downtown Charlotte, N.C., an ugly scene unfolded on the first morning of the Democratic National Convention in early September.
It began when a few dozen Planned Parenthood activists in pink T-shirts marched to the usually staid intersection after they couldn't clear security barriers for a larger rally outside the nearby NASCAR Hall of Fame.
By the time the diverted activists reached the corner, they discovered a much smaller group of pro-life demonstrators directly across the street. The pro-life activists included at least five small children. Adults in the group displayed graphic images of aborted children, and one man declared through a megaphone: "Unless you repent, you will be cast into hell."
The pro-abortion group responded with shaking fists and shouts of their own: "Right to life/You lie/You don't care if women die." Later they chanted: "Obama." As the tension escalated, nearly three dozen police officers descended on the intersection, creating a buffer that resembled a militarized zone.
As the crowd grew angrier, I asked pro-life activist Michael Marcavage about the effectiveness of his methods. "We go to holocaust museums and see photos of murder," he said. "Abortion is a holocaust."
Megan Wilson wasn't persuaded. The 17-year-old high-school senior from Washington state traveled here with the Junior Statesmen of America to attend convention events and learn about politics. She grew visibly shaken at the pro-life activists: "I think it's hypocrisy of the highest form to say that a fetus matters more than a human life."
It was an argument repeated throughout the convention. One of the most aggressively pro-abortion political conventions in history painted pro-life supporters as anti-birth-control extremists bent on hurting women and disregarding the needy. It's unclear whether Democrats will carry that theme through the general election season, but it's an idea that rallied the party's base in Charlotte.
Wilson summarized part of the argument: "There are people out there with fully formed brains and hearts and lungs who are dying—who live on our streets in poverty. They should have rights, but they don't because no one cares about them."
A few blocks away, a Bible verse hung over the door of The King's Kitchen restaurant: "He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given."
Inside the popular downtown eatery, Phillip Lewis was busy frying chicken and serving up heaping plates of collard greens and creamed potatoes. Less than 18 months ago, Lewis lived on the streets of downtown Charlotte, bouncing between a homeless shelter and a housing ministry.
After Lewis met restaurant owner Jim Noble—a pro-life evangelical with two other successful restaurants in Charlotte—Noble offered him a job working in The King's Kitchen. The restaurant donates its profits (and much of its food) to feeding the homeless, and devotes behind-the-scenes efforts to mentoring needy men and women in need of jobs.
Lewis started by washing dishes. A year later, he is the restaurant's best line cook. He rents a duplex nearby, and dreams of opening his own diner. Lewis says Noble's spiritual and practical help compelled him to succeed: "If you're really going to help somebody, you have to care."
Noble's work is one example of several Christian ministries in the city that care for the needy. A local pregnancy care center serves thousands of clients each year. Lois' Lodge—a Christian maternity home—offers housing for women facing unplanned pregnancies. And Brookstone School—a nearby, inner-city Christian school—serves needy children in grades K-6 with low-cost education that produces better results than many public schools.
It's the kind of person-to-person care that Noble says really helps people. "I don't think that Jesus would be walking around carrying signs and yelling," he said of the more strident activists at the convention. "I think He'd go to the heart of the problem, which is what we're trying to do. We're just looking for those that nobody cares about."
If Democrats didn't paint that picture of conservatives at the convention, they also didn't shy away from attacking on social issues. Indeed, the party that once downplayed its support of legalized abortion and same-sex "marriage" made those issues centerpieces of its message in Charlotte.
It's a gamble in a Democratic Party that has as many as 21 million members who say they're pro-life, and in a country that has passed gay-marriage bans in at least 31 states. It's also a gamble in an election that may hinge on the economy.
The question ahead of presidential debates that begin on Oct. 3: Will a far-left social agenda hurt Democrats during a time when Americans seem focused on economic problems? And will conservative Republicans respond to the accusations of extremism that may continue until November?
Accusations of extremism began early at the convention. While pro-abortion and pro-life demonstrators clashed on a street corner the first day, an unfolding Planned Parenthood rally offered glimpses of that group's political strategy.
Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards ignored the central concern of Republicans and conservatives who oppose federal funding for Planned Parenthood: The organization is the nation's largest abortion provider.
Instead, Richards asked the crowd: "Can you believe we're fighting in 2012 over the right of women in America to get birth control?" She declared: "That's exactly what this election is about."
To underscore the point, the rally's emcee wore a costume that looked like a package of birth control pills. Volunteers distributed condoms to the crowd (and in the surrounding streets) inscribed with the message: "PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ROMNEY & RYAN IN THIS ELECTION."
In the nightly meetings at the nearby Time Warner Cable Arena, a parade of speakers each night included remarks that carried implicit or overt references to abortion.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick declared: "We believe that freedom means keeping government out of our most private affairs, including out of a woman's decision whether to keep an unwanted pregnancy and everybody's decision about whom to marry."
Nancy Keenan of NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League Pro-Choice America) praised Obama and warned that Romney would "overturn Roe v. Wade and sign into law a wave of outrageous restrictions on a woman's ability to make decisions about her pregnancy."
Richards of Planned Parenthood used her podium time to warn again that Republicans want to restrict access to birth control. And in a primetime speaking spot, pro-abortion activist Sandra Fluke called a future with Republicans an "offensive, obsolete relic of our past," and said that Romney won't stand up to the "extreme, bigoted voices in his own party."
Meanwhile, back on the streets of downtown Charlotte, extreme voices of pro-abortion activists abounded. At a mid-week pro-life demonstration at the city's central intersection, nearly 40 pro-life activists carried signs with pictures of a baby in the womb, and the statement: "I am a person."
As they began a simple program with a handful of reserved speakers, a group of pro-abortion supporters surrounded the group to block passersby from seeing the demonstration. They chanted and carried signs that declared: "Keep Abortion Legal." Two women sang an offensive song about female anatomy. One man shouted: "I'm rallying to save all life—not just white fetus life."
Nearby, a 29-year-old woman from Portland, Ore., who identified herself as an anarchist named "John Doe," explained her objection to the pro-life position: "No one should be forced to carry another human being to term." She added: "By medical definitions, a fetus is actually a parasite that lives inside a host."
Another activist, Sarah Shanks, helps pro-abortion protesters form barriers around pro-life sidewalk counselors at abortion clinics in Washington, D.C. She called pregnancy "nine months of a life-threatening issue," and added: "To ignore the fact that women have to be the vessels to carry these babies—or fetuses—to term is offensive."
Shanks—who is white—said she helps women facing poverty and other difficult situations. She pointed to the pro-lifers: "These white, middle-class people have no idea what that kind of situation would be like because they're too privileged."
A few feet away, Erika Barnes, a 19-year-old black woman from Charlotte, stood on a small stool talking about how she nearly had an abortion earlier this year. Today, her round belly shows she's eight months pregnant.
Barnes says a pair of pro-life supporters outside a local abortion clinic asked if she was sure about getting an abortion: "My answer was no." An ultrasound made her choose life: "I was able to see his face."
Now, a few weeks before her son's delivery, Barnes said she's thankful for her decision: "I can't say I have everything figured out, because I don't. But I know what I'm doing is right. In a big way, I feel like my son has saved my life."
Andrea Hines—a local pro-life activist who planned the event—talked about her deep regret over an abortion she had in 1977. (Later, when I mentioned my age to Hines, her eyes looked sad when she replied: "My daughter would almost be your age.")
Despite the intense counter protest, Hines said the event's message was simple: "A person in the womb needs to be identified as a person, and have their rights protected."
The Democratic platform doesn't embrace that view. Instead, the party's document declares that it "strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of her ability to pay." Though the platform once said that abortions should be "rare," this year's document excludes that word, just as it did in 2008.
For Democrats who consider themselves pro-life, that language is confounding. Kristen Day, executive director of the pro-life group Democrats for Life, said her organization asked the platform committee to include language at least acknowledging that the party includes pro-life members. The committee refused.
Day says that alienates as many as one-third of Democrats who identity as pro-life, according to a Gallup poll: "That's 21 million Democrats who are disenfranchised from the party because their views are not included."
Though it's difficult to discern whether the pro-abortion emphasis could cost the party significant votes this fall, Day says she's hearing from Democrats who say they won't vote for the president because of the party's strong abortion push this year.
For pro-life Democrats like Fernando Cabrera, the party's support of both abortion and gay "marriage" is a source of deep tension. The Liberty University graduate and New York City pastor is a member of the New York City Council. He was also a delegate to the Democratic convention in Charlotte.
The Sunday before the convention started, Cabrera delivered an impassioned sermon at the conservative First Baptist Church in downtown Charlotte. He decried Obama's support for "gay marriage," and the Democratic Party's plan to add same-sex "marriage" to its platform for the first time. He warned: "Darkness has come upon our land."
He urged the Charlotte congregation to "vote their values," adding that a vote is a serious commitment: "When you put someone into office, you are making a covenant with that elected official."
After the service, Cabrera said he stays in the party because of its commitment to help the poor, and because he wants to "lend voice to the other members of the party who are concerned about the direction it's going." (North Carolina passed a pro-marriage amendment in May with 61 percent of the vote. Obama endorsed gay "marriage" the day after the amendment passed.)
I asked Cabrera: If voters or delegates are making a covenant with their elected officials, what are the implications of making a covenant with Obama when it comes to social issues?
"Well, this is a point of frustration and a point of contention that many people who are in my position are feeling right now," he said. "And to be honest with you, it's a struggle that I'm trying to resolve."
During the convention, most of the party didn't seem to struggle with the issue. A bevy of speakers—including Obama—openly endorsed gay "marriage," and 19-year-old Iowa delegate Zach Wahls received a standing ovation when he began his convention speech by declaring: "I was raised by my two moms."
The party's official calendar didn't include events featuring pro-marriage Democrats, and only a handful of people showed up at a press conference of black pastors opposed to same-sex "marriage" (see sidebar.)
In the end, with little public objection, the Democratic Party passed a platform that opposes any federal or state amendments to protect traditional marriage, and calls for the "full repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act."
The only dissenting voice during the convention's nightly meetings came at the very end when Cardinal Timothy Dolan offered the closing prayer after Obama's speech: "Empower us with Your grace so that we might resist the temptation to replace the moral law with idols of our own making or to remake those institutions You have given us for the nurturing of life and community."
If Democrats were willing to push abortion and the re-making of marriage aggressively, it's unclear if the strategy will pay off in November. Some worry that it will cost the party votes.
But others wonder if the strategy serves as a distraction from the economic malaise that grips the country. Sandwiched in between calls for abortion rights and gay "marriage," some speakers also warned that Romney would give tax breaks to the rich and raise taxes on the middle class. (Romney says he won't pursue that path, but he hasn't explained fully how his tax plan would work.)
Democrats didn't fully explain their economic plan either. Former President Bill Clinton's popular speech was heavy on numbers, but light on how Democrats would forge a path forward. Obama's speech was even lighter: He spoke of initiatives already underway, and asked voters to rally around a set of goals for the next four years, but he said little about how he'd accomplish those goals. In the end, he came back to a theme of his 2008 campaign: "My fellow citizens, you were the change."
That leaves both candidates a daunting task as presidential debates begin Oct. 3: Clearly articulate a specific plan that will resonate with voters worried about a sputtering economy and a spiraling national debt.
Back at The King's Kitchen restaurant in Charlotte, owner and chef Jim Noble wasn't talking about economics or politics a few days after the convention. Instead, on a Tuesday afternoon, he was sitting on a bar stool near the back of the restaurant with an iPad and a glass of sweet tea, conducting a Bible study.
Nearly 20 men and women, mostly local homeless folks, come five days a week for a Bible study and a meal. They listened intently for an hour before filing out with boxes full of fried chicken, sweet potatoes, French fries, and bottled water.
The restaurant—which functions as a nonprofit organization because of its charitable giving and mentoring program—also delivers food to other groups, including a Christian housing ministry for homeless men. Most days, it's full of well-dressed professionals from downtown Charlotte who come because the menu of local Southern cuisine is good.
Beyond discussions of the government's role, Noble says caring for the poor is a biblical mandate: "This is not an option as a believer. This is something we're called to do—to take care of the widows and orphans and poor."
For Noble, taking care of the poor means giving opportunities for meaningful work to men and women struggling with problems like homelessness. Others have just emerged from prison or rehab programs. The workers (usually just a few at a time) attend classes on leadership and budgeting, and go to a church that meets in the restaurant on Sunday mornings.
"We are dealers in biblical hope," says Noble. "God has given us the gospel of Christ, which is the only answer to man's problems."
That may be a lost message during an intense political season, but the couple dozen men and women who came for Bible study and dinner recently left with this reminder from Noble: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but man shall live by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
At the Democratic National Convention, Catholics for Choice (CFC) distributed copies of its quarterly magazine titled Conscience. Inside, Sara Hutchinson, domestic program director at CFC, writes that "conservative religious advocates" are redefining religious liberty and undoing the "right to contraceptive access." Religious liberty, according to her definition, applies to individuals only, not institutions like churches, and therefore institutions should not receive conscience protections from the mandate to provide contraception coverage to employees.
Hutchinson has formed a coalition of 53 groups (from the American Civil Liberties Union to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to Jewish Women International) to defend the Obama administration's contraceptive mandate from charges that it abuses religious freedom.
A Catholic reporter asked Hutchinson, "What if you're an individual business owner?" referring to business owners objecting to paying for contraceptive coverage.
"You are serving as an institution in that capacity," said Hutchinson, and do not have religious freedom protection from providing contraceptives. So far, one court in Colorado has disagreed with that constitutional analysis, siding with a Catholic business owner who sued over the contraceptive mandate.
At least two dozen institutions and business owners have sued the federal government because they object to paying for contraceptive or abortifacient coverage, and even the Catholic Health Association, one of the most touted religious backers of the healthcare overhaul and initially of the contraceptive mandate, later objected. The group said the mandate reflected an "unacceptable change in federal policy regarding religious beliefs."
Harry Knox, the head of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice who also served as an adviser for President Obama's White House Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Office, joined Hutchinson at the convention.
He said women must have the religious freedom to use contraceptives or have an abortion. As an example, he described "a child who has been conceived and is so sick that to continue a pregnancy would be a terrible injustice to that child, because she or he is in so much pain in the womb. ... To bring it to term would only force more suffering on it."
Meanwhile, the Obama campaign has rolled out a new "Catholics for Obama" ad that avoids the subject of religious liberty entirely. Hutchinson told me that the election would not alter or influence the work of the organization, but the organization's tax documents show that the group receives about double the contributions during election years.
Robert George, a Catholic and a professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University, described Hutchinson's posse as "silly as well as ideological."
"If the Vegetarian Society were being forced by a government mandate to serve meat at their annual 'animals are our friends, don't eat them' fundraising banquet, people on the left would suddenly discover that institutions based on shared convictions have rights of conscience," he wrote in an email. "Their problem is not in recognizing that institutions have rights of conscience; their problem is in recognizing that institutions whose teachings they don't agree with have rights of conscience."
About half a dozen African-American pastors, representing the Coalition of African-American Pastors, convened a press conference at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., to condemn President Obama's, and the party's, embrace of gay "marriage." Undermining traditional marriage, said Rev. William Owens Sr., "will further destroy the black family. … How could the black president take this thing that is very immoral and endorse it? Why don't they take that same energy and try to get these boys off the corners, try to get them off drugs, try to get them in college?"
The pastors were willing to criticize the president on the marriage issue, but not necessarily work against him in the election. When reporters questioned the pastors about their political stance, they wouldn't say that they wouldn't vote for President Obama. "We still want to dialogue with the president and with the Democratic Party," said Owens. "We have not looked at the Republicans. As I said, I have some criticisms for them too, as to how they address the black community. … They have said, 'Well, there's nothing we can do to get the black vote,' so they just ignore us. But President Obama has just taken the black vote for granted. It's really the same thing."
When a reporter asked Bishop David Allen Hall, one of the pastors, if he would consider backing Romney, he was emphatic: "I'm not working for Mitt Romney!" The pastors said they mainly wanted President Obama to be aware of their opposition to his stance on marriage.
"I think [Democrats] have done what they wanted to do because they thought they had the black vote in their pocket," said Owens. At least at the convention, the pastors didn't seem to give Democrats any reason to think they didn't.
This article has been edited to clarify that the children accompanying pro-life activists in the beginning of the story did not speak through a megaphone. Only one activist declared: "Unless you repent, you will be cast into hell."
I find the following statement in this article disgusting.
"A 29-year-old woman from Portland, Ore., who identified herself as an anarchist named "John Doe," explained her objection to the pro-life position: "No one should be forced to carry another human being to term." She added: "By medical definitions, a fetus is actually a parasite that lives inside a host."
As our public schools continue to teach the theory of evolution as a fact, discounting all the many, complex, life forms as "they just happened". This lack of discernment moves mankind down the slippery slope to self accountability. Freedom and rights become god that leads down an ever lowering, destructive, social standard.
What I see missing in the platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties is the same that's missing from prominent social commentators and Church pulpits, "the destructive growth of sexual permissiveness". Over 80% of aborted babies are from unwed mothers. Our medical community has had major changes and increase in pricing due to the Aids scare. The desire for pleasure at any cost is destroying our nation.
One would think wisdom would kick in sometime.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5 (KJV)
Let me answer your question with another one:Does a bear find arboreal property the preferred location for defecation? I think ending abortion would be a net gain for Democrats. We'd see over a few decades an electorate more focussed on the impact of heavy taxes and job-exporting regulations on average blue collar working families. Of course it's seculibidiot canon to despise the family and all the oppression they associate with it. So adios to govt policies aimed at appealing to working class lunch-pail regular Joes. And R folks don't want abortion to end either. If they couldnt boast about being proLife wouldn't that mean they'd have to similarly compete for the approval of the working class blue collar moms and dads? Lotsa folks I know (Christians mostly) would likely ignore politics altogether if this nation woke-up and ended infanticide once and for all! Which would also likely mean no big donations to Jim Dobson and FotF.

Oakland, CA– Container lines operating in the U.S.-Asia trade lane have proposed a set of non-binding guideline increases for freight rates covering frozen and chilled beef, pork and poultry, as well as animal hides, to coincide with upcoming contract renewals for those cargoes.
Effective July 1, 2012, member lines in the Westbound Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (WTSA) have recommended increases to existing rates of US$300 per 40-foot container (FEU) from the U.S. West Coast, and $400 per FEU for intermodal and U.S. East Coast all-water shipments, with proportionate increases for other equipment sizes. Rates for hides are to be increased by $100 per container.
WTSA executive administrator Brian M. Conrad said shipments of so-called protein cargoes, and of hides, typically move under 12-month contracts that run from July 1 through June 30. As a result they have not been covered under previously announced general rate increases for 2012.
Conrad added that demand remains strong in Asia for U.S. exports of frozen and chilled meat, and that different trade lanes continue to compete for a limited supply of refrigerated equipment in circulation, particularly temperature-controlled container for carrying chilled commodities.
WTSA is a voluntary discussion and research forum of 10 major ocean and intermodal container shipping lines serving the trade from ports and inland points in the U.S. to destinations throughout Asia. Members include APL, COSCO Container Lines, Evergreen Line, Hanjin Shipping, Hapag Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Kawasaki K Line, NYK Line, Orient Overseas Container Line, and Yang Ming Marine Transport.

Because Harvey Henry Duson, 46, has a long criminal record, San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide said, "This is why the legislature made the three-strike law."
Duson received 25 years consecutively for several crimes against Mathis and his wife, who were held against their will in their University City home on Jan. 11. Mathis, now 79, was beaten in the face and Duson set the home on fire before he and another unidentified suspect fled.
But Duson also received 25 years to life for the Nov. 9, 2011 armed robbery at the Sprint store on Rosecrans Street and 10 years consecutively for using a gun during the crime. Eyherabide ordered Duson to pay $8,000 to the Sprint store and $40 to an employee who was also robbed.
On that day, two Sprint workers were ordered to the ground and were tied up with nylon while Duson and another man stole cell phones and money. The workers eventually freed themselves with scissors and called 9-1-1.
Duson pleaded guilty to all charges Sept. 10. He was on parole when he committed the Sprint store robbery and the crimes against Mathis, who is the chairman of the Metropolitan Transit System board.
Sheriff's Det. Peter Carrillo, who shot Duson after Duson pulled a gun on Carillo when Duson was an employee at a Pizza Hut in 1993, appeared at the sentencing to urge the judge to impose the maximum sentence for Duson, whom he called "a career criminal."
"I'm angry this man was released into society [after the 1993 incident] to harm people again," said Carrillo.
Eyherabide fined Duson nearly $11,000.

To redirect (almost) all log messages from Glassfish and your applications to the same log file and/or console, follow this recipe:
- Copy these JARs to [install-root]/lib/endorsed:
- jul-to-slf4j.jar
- slf4j-api.jar
- logback-classic.jar
- logback-core.jar
- Build a JAR containing your logback.xml configuration at root level and put it in the same place. [Update 26 Jul 2011: Actually, this is no longer required: Simply create a logback configuration file somewhere in your local file system and add the system property
-Dlogback.configurationFile=file:/path/to/my/logback.xmlto your Glassfish configuration.]
- Define a new system property in the jvm-options section of your domain.xml:
- Create the corresponding file my_logging.properties with the following contents:
handlers = org.slf4j.bridge.SLF4JBridgeHandler com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.flushFrequency=1 com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.file=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/server.log com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.rotationTimelimitInMinutes=0 com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.logtoConsole=false com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.rotationLimitInBytes=2000000 com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.alarms=false com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.formatter=com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.UniformLogFormatter com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.retainErrorsStasticsForHours=0When you restart Glassfish, you should only see two log messages in the old java.util.logging format, all the rest goes via slf4j and logback to the appenders configured in your logback.xml. The two remaining log messages are issued before Glassfish reads the domain.xml configuration with the adapted configuration, so there is no easy way of avoiding them.
I have been using this approach on various Glassfish versions from 3.0.1 to 3.1-b33. It is rather ugly, but nonetheless effective.
All this may sound rather mysterious, so I'd better add some explanations:
jul-to-slf4j.jar is a bridge for redirecting java.util.logging via the slf4j API to any logging backend of your choice (logback in this case). To make the redirection work, the bridge has to be visible to the classloader evaluating the logging configuration. Since Glassfish starts logging very early in its bootstrapping phase, the lib/endorsed folder is the only place where the bridge has the desired effect.
Unfortunately, class file folders seem to be unsupported for endorsed libraries. Of course, it would be easier to simply put the logback.xml file in lib/endorsed/classes where you can directly edit it. But for a quick change to your logging configuration, you can always use an editor which supports editing ZIP/JAR file contents in place.
I created the contents of my_logging.properties by trial and error, starting with a one-liner containing only the handler. This caused a couple of exceptions as Glassfish seemed to be missing the GFFileHandler settings, so I copied them over from the original logging.properties.
The same procedure should also work for other slf4j backends, so you could replace the logback JARs by a log4j.jar.

At first, Facebook was pretty awesome. I held out for a long time, mostly because I already lived near a bunch of my friends and didn't need a virtual way to stay in touch with them. But I finally joined when literally every student organization at my school had abandoned the sweaty after-hours classroom scene and was exclusively active online. I wanted to get involved, so I bit the bullet and created an account.
At first, joining Facebook felt like waking up from a nap, the kind where the sun is still shining, birds happily chirping along the treetops, and it's only, like, two PM, so you still have an entire, well-rested day ahead of you. Here were all of the people I loved in one place, talking about awesome stuff! All I had to do to access it was…NOTHING. It populated my friends from my email account and information just rolled in like a wave, refreshing itself constantly, bringing me more fresh gossip and old pictures. It was a one-stop nostalgia-flooded shop, and I was in love with it all.
After the initial euphoria, though, Facebook started to feel like real life. In real life, managing your interactions with people can be sort of a drag. Initially lured by the fancy promises of nonstop communication with the people I loved most in life, my Facebook experience eventually turned into a sea of blocking, hiding, and otherwise ignoring everyone except for the five people I already talk to regularly. It wasn't that I didn't like people; I was just starting to realize that I sort of didn't have a lot to say to most of them.
It's possible that I'm just a jerk.
But it's also possible that Facebook contributes to vast amounts of friendship fatigue, that feeling you get when you get worn out by people simply because you are in constant, unrelenting contact with them. Because something we fail to acknowledge right now is that it's totally possible to run out of things to say. I used to spend HOURS after school on the phone with my friends, rehashing the entire day we had just spent together, like some sort of live-action RPG of our own lives in real time. The conversation, which generally started with a "who's dating who" litany of information, generally dissolved into complete and utter silence while we both lazily clicked through TV channels in our respective houses. Eventually, our parents would see us holding a phone in silence and drooling at the TV, and tell us to hang up. But Facebook doesn't employ any babysitters, and when your parents find your account it's like the worst thing ever, so I never hung up; I just spun around from one profile to the next, this wall to that wall, not really saying much of anything but constantly feeling the need to be plugged in to whatever was happening.
I keep it pretty close to the vest where friends are concerned. I'm friendly and I smile a lot, so I know that I'm lucky to have a bunch of acquaintances. But there are only like eight people in the entire world I'd call to pick me up when my car breaks down, or that I know would say, "Yes!" without hesitation if I invited them to an impromptu concert on a school night. Why does Facebook want me to call everyone I've ever met my friend? Friendship is sacred space, reserved for my one-phone-call-from-jail buddies. I did a really good job of keeping in contact with a few people after high school (before the internet, we just wrote letters and sent them around the world by pigeon or horseback), and by the time I signed up for Facebook I wasn't feeling any sort of lack in the friendship department. The people I talked to regularly were on there…but so were about 200 people I definitely hadn't spoken to in a decade, and really didn't want to. It was fun to catch up with them for about five minutes, but then the reality of how different our lives actually were started to shine through and freak me out a little. For every one of their posts about going to church in the morning, I had one about coming home from a concert at three AM and how awesome it was to have a Double Double In-N-Out burger for breakfast. We had nothing in common—so why force the issue? Can we just be civil to each other and not be "friends"? What are the social politics on Facebook that make me feel like I have to accept and be friends with everyone who sends me a message—and isn't that totally abnormal?
Facebook also brought a lot of drama into my life. Not that drama wouldn't exist otherwise, but the immediacy and permanence of Facebook seems to make it really easy to mess up. I forgot to say "happy birthday" to someone once, and they flipped out about it, even though I forgot to wish them a happy birthday for at least four years before I joined Facebook. I accidentally posted a VERY PRIVATE MESSAGE about someone on my VERY PUBLIC WALL, and half of my friends were convinced I was the devil. Someone got mad at me for constantly rebuffing their invitations to join their Mafia Wars gang, even though I was like, "Wait a minute, we don't even hang out in REAL LIFE, why are you so upset that I won't be in your FAKE GANG?" It can be difficult to work your way back into someone's good graces when the evidence of your misstep is in their face every time they log on.
I had a Facebook account for about a year before I finally quit. I think I quit because I wanted something more real and tangible about my friendships, even with the messy and dramatic parts. I don't think Facebook is horrible; it just totally didn't work for me, or improve the kind of friend I wanted to be. Facebook sort of flattened me out and revealed everything about my friends all at once, without ranking information in terms of import or surprise. I wanted to be surprised by people again.
When I finally deleted my account, my friendships got MUCH better, and much more intentional. I love talking to my friends! Since I'm not around to read an update every 10 minutes, I actually get to hear some great stories and details when we talk or email one another. I started picking up the phone to call people, and writing them letters—actual letters!—just because I was thinking about them. Even though they're less frequent, the conversations I have now seem more meaningful without the distraction of Facebook constantly tempting me to write something, anything, about my life. ♦

Yet again, Thiago Santos and Eric Prindle will not fight.
Santos weighed 277.8 pounds at Thursday's Bellator 62 official weigh-ins, and his season-five heavyweight tournament rematch with Prindle was scratched.
With Santos missing weight, Prindle was declared the season-five tournament victor and will now meet Bellator heavyweight champion Cole Konrad at a later date.
The decision comes just one week after the planned rematch was scratched from Bellator 61 when Prindle was suffering from "flu-like symptoms."
Today's festivities took place at La Posada Hotel in Laredo, Texas. The nearby Laredo Energy Arena hosts Friday's event, which includes a main card on MTV2 (and in high-definition on EPIX) with prelims streaming on on Spike.com.
All of the night's season-six lightweight-tournament fighters were on weight for their opening-round bouts.
Patricky "Pitbull" Freire and Lloyd Woodard provided the evening's most intense staredown, with a brief nose-to-nose encounter. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed, and the two kept the fisticuffs in reserve for Friday's bout. With the Prindle vs. Santos bout scratched, Freire and Woodard are now Bellator 62's main event.
Preliminary card contestant Joseph Daily also weighed in heavy for his fight with Sean Spencer, registering 173.2 pounds for the welterweight matchup. Daily has been given additional time to lose the remaining 2.2 pounds.
A previously scheduled fight between Cosmo Alexander and Oscar de la Parra was also scrapped. Bellator officials said the contest was scratched 24 hours prior to Thursday's weigh-ins but did not specify the reason for the change.
The full Bellator 62 weigh-in results included:
- Eric Prindle (265.2) vs. Thiago Santos (277.8)* – season-five heavyweight-tourney final rematch
- Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (155.6) vs. Lloyd Woodard (154.8) – lightweight-tourney opening round
- Rick Hawn (155.6) vs. Ricardo Tirloni (155.2) – lightweight-tourney opening round
- Thiago Michel (154.8) vs. Rene Nazare (155.8) – lightweight-tourney opening round
- J.J. Ambrose (155) vs. Brent Weedman (155.8) – lightweight-tourney opening round
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike.com)
- Sonny Luque (162.2) vs. Luis Vega (158.6)
- Steven Peterson (145.2) vs. Chris Jones (145.8)
- Joseph Daily (173.2)# vs. Sean Spencer (170)
- Dave Jansen (155.8) vs. Jacob Kirwan (155.4)
- Douglas Frey (145.6) vs. Rad Martinez (145.8)
* – Santos was overweight and removed from the fight, giving Prindle a default tournament win
# – Daily has been given 90 minutes to lose an additional 2.2 pounds

Dolmas Stuffed Grape Leaves Recipes
Meat Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves Recipe)
I love all roll-shaped food. Like eggplant rollatini, egg rolls, sushi, I can't get enough of dolmades. I've posted a vegetarian version in the past, but this time around I wanted to make some with meat. I decided to go with ground lamb because the meat is so flavorful without a ton of fuss. I paired the lamb with round-grained rice and flavored the filling with dried mint, black currants and caramelized fennel bulb.
I cooked them in a lightly-oiled steamer insert for almost 2 hours and let them cool to room temperature. If you're wondering whether my husband Lulu had to just look on longingly, don't worry; I made a separate batch of vegetarian ones for him too!

Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves Recipe)
Dolmades, also known as dolmas, are stuffed grape leaves. They're typically filled with round-grained rice, but for more flavor I added diced roasted bell peppers and tomato paste. You could also use grilled eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms or even tomatoes if they're in season.
Like many rolled dishes (eggplant rollatini, egg rolls, sushi), making dolmades is quite labor intensive, so get some help to go through the process. I served them as appetizers with my fusion raita dipping sauce on the side. If you're planning a party, this dish can be prepared two days in advance, stored in the refrigerator and served at room temperature.

Oct. 29, 2006
Four Bisons players participated in their last soccer game for the Lipscomb Bisons Sunday afternoon against Alabama A&M at the Lipscomb Soccer complex.
The Bisons lost 3-0, closing out the regular season with a 5-11-2 record. Alabama A &M is 6-8-1.
The four players honored before the game played major roles in the development of a program that started from scratch but became a team last year that set records for most victories; best winning percentage; most goals scored in a season; most goals scored in a game; as well as most assists, shots, and points scored in a season. These four seniors have been instrumental in cultivating a program that is defined by progress, accomplishment, and success.
• Tim Hunter, a defender from Morgan Hill, Calif., came to Lipscomb in 2005 after playing two years at De Anza Community College in Cupertino, California. He is a Political Science major and a member of the 2005-06 Atlantic Sun All-Academic Team who has played in 28 career games for the Bisons. He is the son of Kathy and Dan Hunter.
• Tyler Johnson, a midfielder from Knoxville, has played in 50 matches as a Bison, the fourth highest total in the history of the program. He has recorded 17 shots and one point. An Art major and a four-year letter winner, he is the son of Barb and Phil Johnson.
• Robert Mott, a fifth-year senior goalkeeper from Nashville, Robert ranks fifth in "Goalie minutes" in Lipscomb Soccer history and combined for a shutout versus Centenary in 2005. A member of the Atlantic Sun All-Academic team in 2003, 2004, and 2005; Robert is a Journalism major and the son of Lynn and John Mott of Nashville.
• Despite sitting out both the 2003 and 2004 seasons due to injury, Scott Mason has scored 10 goals, more than any other Bison player. He ranks first in career points with 25, third in career assists, and third in career shots. He has played in 50 Lipscomb soccer matches and last year became the first soccer player in our history to be named Atlantic Sun Offensive Player of the Week. He also holds the school record for most goals and most points in one game for his four-goal, nine-point performance against Centenary in 2005. A Communications major, Scott is also a member of the Atlantic Sun All\-Academic Team. He is the son of Debra and Steven Mason of Long Beach, Calif.
Mott was in goal for the Bisons in his final game. He made four saves. Alabama A & M made 19 shots, seven of them shots on goal. Henry Kabeta, Lwazi Maziya and MfanaFuthi Bhember scored for the winners.
The Bisons made 13 shots, five of them shots on goal. Forward Ben Page led the team with six shots including three shots on goal.

The Hillsdale College football team broke two significant losing streaks on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Frank "Muddy" Waters Stadium.
The Chargers played a strong two-way second half on their way to a 35-16 win over Wayne State University. The win improves Hillsdale to 3-1 in the GLIAC and 3-3 overall, while the Warriors fell to 3-3.
The win was Hillsdale's first over Wayne State since 2009, breaking its longest current losing streak to a conference opponent. It was also the team's first home win of the season after a pair of frustrating losses to a pair of talented foes.
Hillsdale broke open a tight game early in the third quarter when senior Steve Harding took back an interception 28 yards for a touchdown to increase Hillsdale's lead to 21-9. Harding, a veteran player who has dealt with difficult injuries throughout his career, read the pass play perfectly and galloped untouched into the end zone for one of the true feel-good scores of the year for the Chargers.
The pick-six sparked energy in the Chargers, who forced the Warriors into mistakes throughout the game. Hillsdale intercepted three passes and featured tough, tackle-breaking running by a trio of tailbacks.
All three featured backs - Issac Spence, Alex Koski and Wade Wood - each scored rushing touchdowns in the game, with Koski registering his first-ever two-touchdown game. All four scoring runs came from an average of foiur yards away from the goal line, often dragging Wayne State defenders with them. Koski in particular, had two nice cuts on his first touchdown run, a three-yard jaunt that brought Hillsdale into the lead for good, 7-6.
Wayne State opened the scoring on a three-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 49-yard touchdown pass to jumpo ahead of the Chargers 6-0. But Hillsdale's offense answered in impressive fashion, aided by a couple of short Wayne State punts, and big plays by the defense.
Junior Tim Moinet intercepted a pass late in the first quarter and returned it to the Wayne State 37-yard line, setting up a short field for the Chargers. Spence finished off the drive with a powerful, eight-yard run to paydirt, quickly turning a 6-0 deficit into a 14-6 Hillsdale lead at the close of the first quarter.
The defenses dominated much of the second quarter, with the Warriors only managing a field goal until Harding's interception. Wayne State answered that score with an 11-play, 68-yard drive of its own to cut the lead to 21-16. But that would be the last time the Chargers allowed the Warriors to score, as Hillsdale showed impressive killer instinct on both offense and defense in the game.
Senior Steven Embry picked up his fourth interception in the past three games, killing Wayne State's next drive after its last touchdown. That pick-off allowed the Chargers to again start deep in Wayne State territory, and six plays later, Koski plunged in from two yards out to put Hillsdale ahead two scores.
It was a game that saw Wayne State outgain Hillsdale in total yards 351-236, pick up one more first down, and own a seven-minute edge in time of possession. But turnovers were the big story here, as Hillsdale's three interceptions turned the tide of the game. The Chargers also did not commit a turnover of their own in the ballgame.
Senior quarterback Sam Landry completed 11 of 21 passes for 90 yards in the game. Koski, Lou Cangelosi and Evan Sassack each caught two passes for Hillsdale.
Spence led the balanced ground attack with 56 yards on 11 carries. Wood had 51 yards on 13 attempts, and Koski's two touchdowns came on seven carries for 29 yards.
Senior linebacker Brett Pasche had a big game for Hillsdale with 14 total tackles, 11 of them solo. Seven different players had tackles-for-loss from the Charger defense. Zach Swaffer had 1.5 sacks, and Moinet had nine total tackles and twop pass break-ups for the winning team.
Hillsdale stays home next weekend to host Ferris State University at 2:30 p.m.

Police Oral Board Interview - From Stress To Success
Sergeant George Godoy
The image you present in your Police Oral Board Interview is one of the most important elements to consider in any preparations you undertake.
The most positive image to present is one that displays character traits that are universally perceived as positive. Bringing a powerful combination of accepted positive images to your interview is a sure way to make a winning impression that puts you one step closer to your ultimate goal – becoming a police officer.
Some positive image elements to incorporate into your interview would include showing:
Appreciation – for the opportunity to interview for the position.
Enthusiasm – for the job. Your interest should be genuine and informed.
Empathy – for others and displaying an understanding for the role compassion plays in police work.
Confidence – in yourself and your abilities. Be comfortable with your beliefs and reveal your trust in the abilities of others.
Practice applying these image elements to everything you do, every encounter with another person, and soon, they will become a part of you – natural and supportive in all your social interactions – ready to reassure others of your capable nature and social skills.
A number of important actions need to be strictly under your control for the best chances of success in your interview, these include:
Do Not Be Late! Target your arrival to be at least 20 minutes prior to the scheduled interview time.
Walk into the interview room smiling, head up, and with excellent posture.
Make eye contact with each interviewer and introduce yourself – give a firm handshake – if the courtesy is offered.
Wait to be seated, then sit when invited to do so, smile and say 'thank you'.
Let the interviewers begin the conversation.
Small talk should be responded to with respectful phrases appropriate to a police department – yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am – while keeping additional comments brief and to the point.
Once the interview begins, the positive image you have worked to establish so far must be given depth and reality with effective speaking. Your ability to convey your thoughts clearly and concisely is a powerful factor for success in your interview.
To achieve successful communication, you must:
Control what you say.
Do your homework and be prepared to respond intelligently.
Take Your Time – Think Before You Speak.
Control how you say it.
Your emotional attitude must be kept moderate.
Your tone of voice must convey confidence and self-assurance.
Your pattern of speech must be relaxed and natural.
Your physical posture must be composed, alert, and purposeful.

Revision as of 15:19, 27 May 2013
Fedora Ambassadors Polo Shirt
During the FAD EMEA 2006 we made the decision, that we all should wear the same shirt at events. We did not want a uniform, but something that would make us stand out, so that visitors/attendees could visually identify us.
The requirements for this shirt were:
- high quality (fabric)
- easy to wash [embroidery based logos/text(stitched not printed)]
- robust
- not in a t-shirt-style
- long life time
- Fedora-blue
- independent from events and Fedora t-shirt versions
- match the Logo Guidelines
Due to these requirements, the "Fedora Ambassador Polo Shirt" was the conceived with the following design specifications:
- Shirt: Pique Polo Slazenger, 200 g/qm, 100 % BW,sizes: S; M; L; XL; XXL
- Shirt Color: Pantone ® 2935 (the brighter fedora blue)
- 1. embroidery logo: thorax top left - Fedora Symbol 4cm wide
- 2. embroidery logotext right upper arm - Fedora Standard Logo (white types) under them "Ambassador" in U001 Font (white types - Complementary Font according to the Guidlines) 9 cm wide
The only problem with quality, is the attached increased price tag, that is, the polo shirts are not cheap. The cost per polo shirt is around 25 EUR (depends on the purchase order quantity).

We love it when a plan comes together. What plan? How'bout Apple buying super low-power fabless chip design firm Palo Alto Semiconductor (PA Semi) back on April 23, which Steve Jobs later said would make "system-on-chips" for the iPhone and iPod? How about PowerVR graphics cores reaching a mega-licensing deal with an unnamed company? (Which might just rhyme with Snapple...) And how about now, a Mr. Wei-han Lien, formerly of PA Semi, updating his Linked[In] profile to read: "Senior Manager Chip CPU Architect at Apple", and more specifically, "ARM CPU architecture team for iPhone"? (ARM having reportedly also reached a long term licensing deal with an unnamed company)
Put them all together, and what do we get? A scary hardcore look at what will drive the next (and/or next after next) iPhone v3. And according to Macrumors:
By developing its own ARM variant, Apple could create a processor that meets the specific needs of the iPhone and iPod, building support for functions such as the touch screen or scroll wheel into silicon and possibly savings on costs by reducing the number of processors needed in each device. In addition, Apple' will be able to maintain tighter controls on who knows what about its future products by disposing of an outside chip supplier.
Wanna bet Steve calls them "screamers"? And Carmack claims PS2-class gaming?
