Shane Warne is leading the campaign to bring Bolt to Melbourne.
Bolt, hailed by International Olympic Committee Chief Jacques Rogge as the greatest sprinter of all time after three gold medals in London, played junior cricket before turning to the track and has long voiced a love for the game.
He said he wanted to play and had spoken to the Australian former Test leg-spinner.
"He (Warne) contacted me and asked me about if I am serious and if I really want to do it, then he can put in a few words that should get it done," Bolt told Australia's Channel Nine television late Sunday.
"So we will see if I get the time off. I will try."
Cricket is hugely popular in the West Indies with Bolt's Jamaica one of its strongest teams, producing greats such as Frank Worrell, Michael Holding, Courtney Walsh and Chris Gayle.
Fast-paced concept
Bolt, 25, said he particularly like the fast-paced Twenty20 concept, where each side tries to blast as many runs as possible in a maximum of 20 overs.
The format has spread around the world since it was introduced nearly a decade ago as a more exciting alternative to longer versions of the game and it is now part of virtually all international cricket tours.
"Twenty20, I love it," said the sprinter, who describes himself as an all-rounder and told Australian media during the Olympics he planned to holiday Down Under in September.
"Just the fact that it is so exciting, it's about going hard the whole time, not just about playing shots. It's about being aggressive and I like that style of batsman.
"If I get the chance I will definitely try because I know it's going to be a lot of fun. I don't know how good I am. I will probably have to get a lot of practice in," he added.
Social media campaign
The eight-team Big Bash League, featuring privately owned city-based franchises, begins its second season on December 7 with the final on January 19.
It was launched last year, aiming to attract a new youthful audience with an emphasis on energy and a fast-paced atmosphere.
Warne, who is expected to play for the Melbourne Stars for a second season this year, has begun a social media campaign to win support for Bolt to play with the team.
"Cats out the bag, we've spoken. Olympic legend @usainbolt would like to have a crack at 20/20 for the Melb stars 2012 Please retweet guys," tweeted Warne.
"I think the Melb Stars colours suits him hahah," he added, referring to their green and white kit. "Let's keep the momentum going & I will keep trying to make it happen!"
He won support from fellow Australian and Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe, who tweeted: "Usain Bolt playing cricket for the Melbourne Stars?? @warne888 how amazing would that be? If you need sluggish medium pace, let me know."
A hand in football
According to Australian media, Bolt clean-bowled then West Indies captain Gayle in a charity match in 2009, having earlier hit him down the ground for six. Gayle plays for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League.
Melbourne Stars chief executive Clint Cooper said he would talk with Bolt once the dust settles on the Olympics.
"We're going to wait until the Olympics is over and re-engage with him and his management company," Cooper told Melbourne newspaper The Age on Monday.
"We've got a couple of spots left on our list."
The Melbourne Stars currently features Australian internationals David Hussey, Brad Hodge and James Pattinson, as well as English all-rounder Luke Wright.
Bolt has also said that he would like to try his hand at football, with Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand tweeting during the Olympics that he would have a word with United manager Alex Ferguson. – Sapa-AFP

Printed text is a default form of communication in the developed world. Beginning in early elementary school, reading is a central component of education and is the foundation for building independent, analytical skills. As students grow and begin to enter the workforce, the ability to read memos, purchase orders, and industry-related articles is critical to promotions and successful performance reviews. As the working adult matures, the prevalence of vision impairment increases and poses a challenge to those who desire to live an independent lifestyle. And for a large number of people, reading printed text is a barrier. This group of people includes those with specific learning disabilities, those with partial vision loss, and those who are completely blind.
The Intel Reader is a mobile device that takes pictures of text, translates the image into digital text by using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, and reads the text aloud by using text-to-speech (TTS) software. Figure 1 shows a photograph of the Intel Reader, after many rounds of prototype design iterations and user-focused group discussions. It is roughly 6.5x5.5x1.1 inches, about the size of a paperback book. The Intel Reader contains a high-resolution camera, designed to capture crisp images of text. To improve the accuracy of OCR, it is critical that the text images are of high resolution and as sharp as possible. When designing the user interface for the Reader, we took into account the findings from our ethnographic research and we incorporated many human factors into our design to provide print accessibility to the target audience: we included features such as image rotation and automatic correction to increase the accuracy of the conversion. The Intel Reader utilizes the Intel Atom processor and the Moblin operating system, a Linux distribution..
Disabilities, and the Challenges of Reading
Reading can be challenging for a variety of reasons ranging from learning disabilities to partial or complete blindness.
Reading-Based Learning Disability
Reading can be a frustrating experience for people who have specific learning disabilities. For example, dyslexia is a neurological disability, often characterized by difficulties with word recognition, word spelling, and word decoding. One participant in our research described reading as "having a bad cell phone connection with the paper -- words drop out or come through garbled even though I can see just fine." Dyslexia, like most learning disabilities, is an inherited condition, and not the result of lack of effort, sensory impairment, or of inadequate education. Roughly 10 to 15 percent of any given population has specific learning disabilities, with 80 percent exhibiting reading-based learning disabilities consistent with dyslexia. In the United States, there are 55 million people with specific learning disabilities in the public schools, 8 million of whom are students under the age of 18 who have dyslexia. Although studies may vary, it is estimated that 30-45 million people are in this target population overall in the United States alone.
The majority of students first learn to read by phonemic awareness (how speech sounds make up words) and by connecting those sounds to letters of the alphabet (phonics). Next, they learn to blend the sounds into words, recognize words, and comprehend what they read. People with specific learning disabilities, however, have difficulty with phonemic awareness and phonics. Research has shown that dyslexia occurs because information is processed differently in the brain, and for this reason, reading becomes an uphill battle and remains slow and laborious. When students struggle with these early stages of reading, they are often made to feel inferior. Frustration and isolation resulting from this lack of independence can be intense, leading to high drop-out rates and associated social problems.
With intensive and early help, students with dyslexia are often able to learn the basic skills of reading and develop strategies that allow them to stay in the conventional classroom. Generally, however, they are not able to achieve a level of reading fluency commensurate with their level of intelligence and aptitude. While they may be able to get words off a page with great effort, they are generally at a great disadvantage, relative to the majority of their peers, especially when it comes to comprehension. However, the comprehension of spoken words is not affected by dyslexia, and as a result, audio processing of information is highly desirable for individuals with dyslexia.
Blindness and Visual Impairments
For people with vision-loss, reading poses a real challenge. Anyone with non-correctable reduced vision is considered to be visually impaired. Cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, corneal opacity, diabetic retinopathy, and trachoma are examples of pathologies that can cause vision acuity loss. Vision impairment can range from severe low vision (uncorrectable beyond 20/200 to 20/400) to near total blindness (less than 20/1000). At the extreme end, individuals who completely lack light perception are considered totally blind.
Visual impairment is unequally distributed across age groups. More than 82 percent of all people who are blind are over 50 years of age, although they represent only 19 percent of the world's population. There are an estimated 1.4 million blind children below age 15 in the world. In the next 30 years, an ever-increasing number of people will develop some form of visual impairment due to the aging of our population. Potentially blinding eye conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are increasing as the world's population ages.
people with disabilities. There are text readers that help students build reading comprehension skills, a number of computer programs are available to help students with literacy, and audio books have emerged as an alternative format to help students read by listening. Audio books are typically available for common textbooks, selected novels, and popular magazines and newspapers. Additionally, for content that is in electronic format, such as websites and emails, text-to-speech software can be used to convert it to audio. However, there are documents that exist primarily in printed format, such as store receipts, coupons, business memos, personal mail, and specialty publications, all of which require an alternative means of access. Alternative access means reliance on a third party, be it a scanning service to get access to text, or a special educator to provide on-going support. The Intel Reader was developed to address these needs, offering an evolution of the existing assistive technologies to a more portable and intuitive usage model, as well as access to text at a time and place of the user's choosing.

Food additives to avoid
Over 300 food additives are approved for use in Australia.
Just how safe are they?
Would you like additives with that?
Feedback from our readers tells us food additives are a major concern for consumers. We look at the latest research into questionable food additives permitted in Australia - and give our verdict on the ones you'd do best to avoid.
Individuals and consumer advocacy groups are often warning about certain food additives, saying they're unsafe and should be avoided. On the flipside, the food manufacturing industry and regulators say there are good reasons to use additives — to prevent food poisoning or extend a food's storage life, for example.
Additives and processed food go together — you rarely get one without the other. The more highly processed foods you eat, the more additives you'll eat too. So the easiest way to avoid them is to eat mainly fresh and only lightly processed foods (such as canned tomatoes and frozen vegetables). But you can't easily avoid eating additives altogether - even packaged bread often has several. And a small number of dietary additives usually isn't a problem for most people.
The safety evidence for food additives is reviewed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) before they're approved for use, but some people still argue that certain approved food additives lead to health problems.
Controversial additives
The additives in question are from the following key categories:
- Colours (code numbers in the 100 range) that add or restore colour to foods.
- Preservatives (200 range) that help protect against food deterioration caused by micro-organisms.
- Antioxidants (300 range) that slow or prevent the oxidative deterioration of foods, such as when fats and oils go rancid.
- Artificial sweeteners (including intense sweeteners in the 900 range, and bulk sweeteners such as sorbitol, 420) impart a sweet taste for fewer kilojoules than sugar.
- Flavour enhancers (mainly in the 600 range) that improve the flavour and/or aroma of food.
Other key additives
- Emulsifiers (mostly in the 400 range) help prevent oil and water mixtures (in mayonnaise, for example) from separating.
- Stabilisers (mostly in the 400 range) maintain the uniform dispersal of substances in a foods like ice cream.
- Thickeners (including vegetable gums, which have code numbers mostly in the 400 range, and modified starches, with code numbers in the 1000 range) increase the viscosity of foods like thickened cream to a desired consistency.
Colours and hyperactivity
The concern over artificial colours was fuelled by a UK government-funded study which concluded that a mixture of colourings and the preservative sodium benzoate (211) could be linked to increased hyperactivity in some children.
The colours studied were tartrazine (102), quinoline yellow (104), sunset yellow FCF (110), carmoisine (122), ponceau 4R (124) and allura red AC (129).
The Food Standards Agency, the British food regulator, is encouraging food manufacturers to find alternatives to these colours and reports that some manufacturers and retailers in the UK have already taken action to stop using them.
Within the EU, foods containing these colours are now labelled with a mandatory warning: "May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children."
In Australia, the supermarket chain Aldi has removed these six colours from its own-brand products, as well as eight more colours: amaranth purple (123), erythrosine cherry red (127), indigo blue (132), brilliant blue (133), green (142, 143), black (151) and brown (155).
However, FSANZ say dietary exposure to added colours in food and beverages doesn't pose a public health and safety concern for children in Australia.
Colours and allergies
In the 1980s, the concern centred on tartrazine, an artificial colour that can cause mild allergic-type reactions. Sunset yellow FCF can have a similar effect. Some animal studies have indicated sunset yellow can cause tumours, but the results aren't consistent with other studies on rats and mice.
Natural additives aren't necessarily safer than artificial ones. The natural colouring annatto (160b), for example — typically found in margarine, Cheshire cheese, smoked fish and cakes — can cause allergic-type reactions in some people.
>Colours and cancer
Two long-term feeding studies demonstrated that erythrosine (127) increases the incidence of thyroid tumours in rats, but a review of these and other available data by JECFA, an international scientific expert committee administered jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation (WHO), concluded the colour is safe. Even so, its use in Australia is restricted to glacé cherries.
Tests have linked allura red AC (129) with cancer in mice, but evidence of harm isn't consistent or substantial. Claims that brilliant blue FCF (133) is carcinogenic are largely unsubstantiated.
Our verdict
Often overused, colours aren't needed in food to do anything functional, but purely for looks. In other words - they're there for the marketing.
And given that they're most often found in foods like cordials, lollies, cakes and soft drinks, which we're recommended to have only as an occasional treat anyway, it's easy enough to avoid colour additives by only eating these foods rarely, if at all.
In light of the UK food regulator's decision to push for industry action to remove some of these colours altogether, we'd like to see FSANZ review the situation in Australia.
In the meantime, if your child shows signs of hyperactivity, cutting out foods that contain these colours from their diet could help. However, if you think you or your child has an intolerance or allergy to any food or food additive, seek advice from your medical practitioner or dietitian - just cutting out certain foods may not be the answer.
Soft drinks
In drinks, the combination of sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate (212) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C, both naturally occurring and the additive 300) can result in the formation of benzene, a known carcinogen. Exposing the bottle to heat or light during transport or storage can boost the amount of benzene formed.
FSANZ tested 68 flavoured drinks, including flavoured mineral waters, cordial, fruit juice and fruit drinks, and found 38 of the samples contained trace levels of benzene. While the majority had benzene levels below WHO guidelines for drinking water - 10 parts per billion (ppb) - some contained levels up to 40 ppb - 1 ppb is the reference level for benzene in Australia's more stringent drinking water guidelines.
On top of that, a national diet survey in 2005 found that young children who consume lots of drinks that contain a form of benzoate (non-cola soft drinks, orange juice and cordial, for example) could be exceeding the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for benzoates.
Processed meats
The food preservatives sodium nitrite (250) and sodium nitrate (251) - typically found in processed cured meats like ham and bacon - are both listed as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, because they can be converted into nitrosamines in the stomach and nitrosamines increase the risk of cancer.
Calcium propionate (282) prevents mould growth on bread and is often heavily used in humid, tropical areas. It's been linked to migraines and behavioural and learning problems, but these reports lack scientific credibility.
Wine and dried fruit
Preservatives that contain sulphur (220-228), including sulphur dioxide (220), which is used in wine and dried fruit, can trigger asthma attacks. The 2005 national diet survey found that young children who eat lots of foods that contain sulphites, such as dried apricots, sausages and cordial, could be exceeding the ADI for sulphites.
Our verdict
Exposure to benzene in food and drink products may be small when compared with breathing air that contains benzene from traffic pollution or tobacco smoke, but it's unnecessary. So it makes sense to avoid drinks that contain benzoates and ascorbic acid.
The Cancer Council now recommends limiting or avoiding processed meats such as sausages, frankfurts, salami, bacon and ham. But also keep in mind that the cancer risk is relatively small and that sodium nitrite prevents the growth of bacteria that cause botulism poisoning – which can be more immediately deadly.
Sulphur dioxide should be avoided by people who have asthma.
BHA – butylated hydroxyanisole (320) – is typically found in margarine and spreads, salad dressings, walnuts and pecans, and instant mashed potato.
It's listed as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" by WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, and some studies have demonstrated that it causes cancer in rats, mice and hamsters.
But these cancers are controversial because they occur in the forestomach, an organ that humans don't have.
Our verdict
While it's considered safe at the low level of use permitted, BHA can be replaced in foods by safer chemicals (such as vitamin E), safer processes, or simply left out. Check labels if you want to avoid it.
Artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners can be hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. These intense sweeteners are typically used in diet and low-sugar foods and drinks. Reports link many of them to cancer.
Artificial sweeteners and cancer
In the 1970s, several studies of rats that were fed very large amounts of saccharin (954) found its use was associated with a higher incidence of bladder cancer. It was banned in Canada, and until 1996 products containing saccharin in the US had to be labelled with a warning. But research in humans largely failed to turn up that risk, and in 2000 the US Government's National Toxicology Program delisted saccharin as a possible carcinogen.
Research in 2005 from the European Ramazzini Foundation (updated in 2007) found feeding rats aspartame (951) at simulated doses around levels considered safe for humans increased the rats' risk of leukaemia, lymphoma and breast cancer.
Another intense sweetener, cyclamate (952), was banned in Canada, the UK and the US over 30 years ago because animal studies indicated links to cancer, but this ban was lifted in the UK in 1996 following further studies. However, another UK survey found some children could be consuming up to twice the ADI for cyclamate. A survey by FSANZ similarly found that 5% of Australian kids were exceeding the acceptable daily intake (ADI0 for cyclamate. Cyclamate is still approved for use in Australia.
Artificial sweeteners and pregnancy
In 2010 Danish researchers linked the consumption of artificially sweetened, but not sugar-sweetened, soft drinks to preterm delivery of babies. Though the study couldn't distinguish between the various artificial sweeteners, aspartame and acesulfame-potassium are the most widely-used. The authors suggested that the cause of the problem might be the methanol released when aspartame breaks down in the container or in the body. More research is needed on this issue. In the meantime, pregnant women might want to make a special effort to avoid consuming artificial sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners and other health concerns
Aspartame has also been linked to headaches, allergies and changes in behaviour. But a review funded by industry of more than 500 studies, including the Ramazzini research, concluded that aspartame is safe at current levels of consumption as a non-nutritive sweetener. While many scientists remain concerned about the Ramazzini Foundation results, FSANZ and the US food regulatory authority told us they see no reason to alter their position that aspartame is safe.
Our verdict
There's certainly a bigger risk to your health from being overweight than there is from eating artificially-sweetened products.
Sweeteners have often been recommended to aid in weight loss, but there's conflicting research about the health benefits of artificially-sweetened drinks. Some studies show that regular consumption of artificially-sweetened beverages reduces the intake of calories and promotes weight loss or weight maintenance, other research shows no effect, and some studies even show weight gain.
The jury's still out on the absolute safety of artificial sweeteners, so it makes sense to limit your and your children's intake of artificially-sweetened foods and drinks. Losing weight without the help of artificial sweeteners would be the win/win situation.
Those who should definitely avoid aspartame are people with the rare disorder phenylketonuria, or PKU, who must limit their intake of phenylalanine, an amino acid in aspartame.
Flavour enhancers
Flavour enhancers such as glutamates (621-625) are found in many foods, including packet soups, flavoured noodles, sauces and savoury snacks. When glutamate touches the taste receptors on our tongue, it gives food a savoury taste (known as umami). Mixed with a meal, glutamate balances, blends and enhances the total perception of flavour.
Some foods – tomato products, fermented sauces (such as soy sauce or oyster sauce) and long-matured cheeses such as stilton and parmesan – are naturally high in glutamate.
Because MSG has such a bad name, many manufacturers use other sources of glutamate to give processed foods the extra taste. These include protein extracts from corn, yeast or soy, which are processed to release the glutamate.
People sensitive to monosodium glutamate (MSG, 621) may have short-term reactions such as headaches, flushing and numbness when they eat foods that contain large amounts of MSG, and some asthmatics may also be susceptible.
Our verdict
For most people MSG and other glutamates are harmless. If you're sensitive to MSG, check labels for it.
Unlabelled additives
You can avoid specific additives in packaged foods by looking at the ingredients list.
Additives must be identified by their function, then by their name (for example, preservative: sulphur dioxide), or by their code number (for example, preservative 220).
But the fact that either the name or code number is listed means it can be hard to compare which additives are in different products. And there are some exceptions:
Whether natural, nature-identical or artificial, flavourings don't have code numbers and may be labelled simply as 'flavouring' or 'flavour'. According to FSANZ, the vast number of flavouring substances permitted in food means it wouldn't be realistic to require the names to be listed individually.
The 5% loophole
If an additive is present in an ingredient and that ingredient makes up less than 5% of the complete food product - and the additive isn't considered to perform a technological function in the final food - it doesn't have to be listed.
Processing aids
These aren't required to be listed, even though traces may be present in the food. Enzymes are an example - they have multiple uses in food production, including pumping up bread loaf volume, assisting with the removal of meat protein from bones and breaking down fruit to release more juice.
Ice structuring protein (ISP), a genetically modified fish protein used in ice cream to control the size and growth of ice crystals, is another.
Our verdict
We want one clear labelling system for additives so it's easier to avoid them and to compare what's in different foods.
Food labelling should also be extended to include all additives, including processing aids, even if they're present in very small amounts.
How additives are regulated
The use of food additives in Australia is governed by the Food Standards Code and regulated by FSANZ. When applying to use a new additive, a manufacturer must provide evidence to FSANZ of its safety, as well as the technological reason for its use. FSANZ reviews the safety evidence before an additive is approved for use and reviews new research as it becomes available, but doesn't undertake safety testing of its own.
On top of that, an exposure assessment estimates the likely amount that would be consumed if the food additive were permitted for use. This amount is compared to the acceptable daily intake (ADI) recommended by scientific experts, which is the amount you can consume every day without damaging your health. FSANZ then recommends a maximum level of the food additive permitted in particular foods, based on technological need and providing it's within safe limits.

Stockton, CA
Ortence Elease Barrow
June 7, 1926 - March 19, 2013
Ortence Elease Barrow was born in Panama City in the Republic of Panama on June 7, 1926 to
Charles Jones and Louise Skeets Jones from Barbados. She went to be with the Lord on March 19, 2013 in Stockton, California surrounded by family. Ortence is survived by one brother, Alonso Jones and preceded in death by two brothers: Sidney Jones and Rupert Jones and five sisters:
Geraldine Nugent, Elitha Jones, Viola Jones, Edna Jones and Iris Murrain.
Ortence married Percy Alfonso Barrow April 7, 1951 (61 years). The Barrow family moved to Stockton, California in 1970 from Panama.
After coming to Stockton, she worked several jobs until she
started with Stockton Unified School District as an instructional aide. She worked at Franklin High School, at the Adult Ed and ended her career with Stockton Unified at Nightingale Elementary School. She loved helping students achieve their highest potential but she was a strict task master.
In Panama Ortence graduated from the 8th grade at the top of her class. The sudden death of her
father and the high cost of continued education caused her to end her education. When she came to the United States she found a way to the education she so yearned for. She continued her education, at Delta College, University of the Pacific and then finished at Stanislaus University where she earned a Bachelor degree in
Education in Multiple Subjects and her Teachers Credentials.
From the time the family arrived in Stockton, they were seeking a Methodist church. On that first Sunday in the United States the family was invited to Ebenezer AME Church where they have been members until the present. She found love and warmth in their midst and decided that the church was just what she was seeking to help raise her family in the Lord. Ortence was an active member of the Chancel Choir, the Gospel Choir, the Women's' Missionary Society, the Finance Committee,
a Class Leader, an YPD (Young People's Department) Leader, Sunday school teacher among her many hats in the service of the Lord.
She always had a deep thirst for knowledge and was an avid reader. She always wanted to know "WHY". In her younger days, she enjoyed baking for family and friends. She loved to created floral arrangement that brought others great pleasure. One of the hobbies she enjoyed was playing Scrabble and being a part of the Sew and Sew Club that crafted items that were donated to organizations in the community.
One of her last services in the community was her uniting herself with other women from the community, backed up at times by some men, to help seniors by making check-up calls to them, going with them on errands,
assisting to their various needs and celebrating their special days.
Ortence is survived by her husband Percy, daughters Pamela Barrow and Lorna Knight
(Reginald), son Eduardo Barrow (Alberta), grandchildren Erica Knight, Jeremiah Knight, Genesis Barrow, Mahalia Barrow, and McKenzie Barrow, and a number of nephews and nieces all over the world. She is also mourned by Millie Johnson, her childhood friend of over 75 years.
Ortence was a Child of God, a
loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and a devoted friend who touched many lives. She will be missed by her family and friends.
Visitation will be at Jesse Cooley Jr., Funeral Service, Inc., 640 N. California St., Stockton, CA 95202, Ph # 209-948-9750 on Wednesday March 27, 10:00am to 8:00pm. Family and friends are
invited to attend the Wake on Wednesday March 27 at 6:00pm. Funeral service will be Thursday March 28, 2013 at 11:00am at Ebenezer AME Church at 132 N. Stanislaus St., Stockton, CA 95205, Ph # 209-465-5367.
Committal will follow at Stockton Rural Cemetery at 2350 Cemetery Lane, Stockton, CA 95204, Ph# 209-465-5213. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Haven of Peace, Homeless
Shelter, P.O. Box 724, Stockton, CA 95201, Ph# 209-982-0396.

For me, signing up for any new social network goes something like this: Hear about it and ignore it. Hear about it again and then make fun of it. Hear about it again and wonder if I should sign up. Sign up. Do nothing until I hear about it again and remember I have an account and then, finally, start using it.
Without fail that's how I've signed up to every social network in my life. Because I'm supposed to be technological-savvy and such, it means I usually beat the pants off of the rest of the 'normal world' at signing up to social networks but consistently lose to the always accepting early adopters. I just want to be first! And let's be real here, on the Internet, there is a twisted smug sense of victory in being first. So if you're curious on where you stand as an early adopter of social networks like Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, etc. or if you're first at anything, check out the website Idego. It checks your account and shows you where you stand as an adopter. I'm in the 1.99% for Instagram but trail 21 of my friends. [Idego.co via The Next Web]

It was always natural for Alberto Monterro, said George Smith, the co-owner of Linwood Dairy Group and LoveLea Farms near Lexington.
It was always natural for Alberto Monterro, said George Smith, the co-owner of Linwood Dairy Group and LoveLea Farms near Lexington.
Screaming overtop of the constant humming of machinery inside the milking barn, Smith said Monterro, who has worked for him for five years, always had a knack for milking cows.
"He's the best milker I've every employed," Smith said, adding that Monterro has only missed three milkings in his time with the company.
His abilities on full display on a chilly December morning earlier this year, Monterro didn't disappoint. With dozens of 1,500-pound Holsteins to his left and right, he whipped around four-cupped milking tubes from a lowered platform like they were anatomical extensions of his own fingers, connecting, extracting and expelling each cow in mere minutes.
"He milks 300 cows in three hours," Smith said.
With the use and cooperation of technology, Monterro is but one of the key pieces that helps Smith's farm produce about 22,000 pounds of milk a day. It's only because his company has worked hard to commingle technology with quality employees that his farm has been able to remain successful over the years, Smith said.
Linwood Dairy Group LLC, with its main operations on Junior Order Home Road, operates one of the last remaining dairy farms in Davidson County.
Since 1954, when there were more than 220 dairy farms in the county, the number of farms with milk cows has decreased by 92 percent, according to the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture Census of Agriculture in 2007. Likewise, the number of cows producing milk in the county has decreased from 6,549 to 1,119 in the same time period, according to the census.
The declining trend is even more evident at the state level. The number of farms with milk cows has decreased from 41,918 farms in 1964 to 463 farms in 2007. The number of milk producing cows on hand has decreased by 75 percent.
While there have been many years of decreasing trends, North Carolina dairy farm numbers have stabilized over the last couple of years, and there has been a small increase in milk production, said Dr. Geoff Benson, professor emeritus of agricultural economics at North Carolina State University.
That being said, Benson said the state remains seriously deficit in milk production.
"All states show declining farm numbers although states in the western U.S. have greatly expanded milk production because large scale dairying is attractive there, partly due to climate and partly due to economics," Benson said.
Several things, including the volatility of milk prices and costs of production, have contributed to the long-term downward trend of dairy farms in North Carolina and states east of the Mississippi, Benson said.
"There are economies of scale in dairy farming that encourages farms to get larger and more specialized," Benson said. "Some people choose not to make the leap and find alternatives. In the Piedmont, there is competition for land for non-agricultural uses that drives land prices to levels beyond what can be justified from returns to farming that makes herd expansion problematic."
There are about 17 farms with milk cows in Davidson County. About 10 of those have herds with less than nine cows, while six have herds with more than 100 cows, according to the census.
After his father started with five Guernseys in the 1950s, Smith and his family have expanded its milking herd to about 350 Holsteins on 800 acres of land at the main farm.
In actuality, Linwood Dairy Group is but one prong of the LoveLea Farms enterprise. The farming company, which Smith owns with his cousin Reid, also operates a cropping business that produces corn, soybeans, wheat and other various goods that are used for cow feed as well as consumer sales.
"We have maintained our identity as a crop operation, and a dairy operation and a family group."
The operation's "corporate office," as Smith called it, is a one-room outbuilding that used to serve as the Linwood Depot.
"We've moved with the economic times to grow with the industry," Smith said.
One of those changes means incorporating some of the vast and ever-evolving technological enhancements and machines that have flooded the industry.
"You get to the point that you have so much information that you have to sort through the stuff you need and the stuff you don't need," Smith said. "We take care of our cows just like a doctor would take care of a person, if not better."
Everything that comes out of the cow is milk or waste, Smith said. The milk goes to processing and distribution centers in the area, while the waste goes back into the field as fertilizer.
Keeping the cows clean and comfortable ensures they are producing at optimal levels of milk, Smith said. That means their upbringing, diet, living environment and routine must be top notch — something Smith said he and his workers put the upmost focus on.
"We want them either laying down, milking or eating," he said. "We can be much more efficient when they are comfortable in a stall and eating."
LoveLea Farms and Linwood Dairy Group are very much family-oriented ventures. Most of the half-dozen employees that work for Smith are blood related, family friends or friends of friends, he said. In addition, Smith's son, Elliott, recently graduated from North Carolina State University and also helps at the farm.
Walking around the main farm earlier this year, Smith's wife, Andria, said it is remarkable how things have grown in the 28 years she and her husband have been married. Just in that time, the herd has increased by nearly 200 heads, Andria said.
After calves are born at the farm, they are placed into what Andria calls their personal "hotels," or divided pens, and are cared for until they are about 6 weeks old. Then, they move into small groups and are subsequently moved into other groups as they age and develop.
They start milking at about 12-14 months old, Smith said.
Milking takes place three times a day, 365 days a year, Smith said, adding that requires reliable help from employees like Monterro.
After the milk comes from the cow, it is cooled. Then, a driver comes every morning, picks it up and delivers it to an area processing plant. It's then packaged for consumer sales.
Smith, who said he can still remember when there were hundreds of dairy farms in the county, said he's thankful for the workers that have helped the operation grow.
"The biggest part that has helped us out was the hiring of good employees," Smith said. "The Hispanic employees we have hired have been a huge asset as well. They are loyal workers that never take a day off work."

My phone rang the minute I stepped into the house. "I don't mean to be nosy, but does Peter need a ride to school?"
My neighbor Fred said that he noticed I had AAA over twice to give me a jumpstart during Hurricane Sandy. Then this morning, he saw us head to the car for school, then get out of the car and drag back to the house with the weight of the world on our shoulders.
While I waited for the AAA guy again, Fred drove Pete to school and talked to him about decimals. Is Fred the epitome of a perfect neighbor for a military family?
Since we have moved 16 times, I've had plenty of neighbors. I've had neighbors who told me I was wasting heat by having only my storm door closed. I've had neighbors who complained about the alarm on my dryer. I've had neighbors whose fights brought the police and district attorney, neighbors who fed wild foxes till they sat on our porches, neighbors who called the homeowner's association because I had a car with a mysterious leak. I once had a neighbor who insisted that I ought to sue the school system because there was no way my autistic child could possibly be getting enough services.
I've also had neighbors like Fred who shoveled my sidewalk as a surprise. Neighbors who made mix tapes of country music I had never heard but loved. Neighbors who invited me to join their lunch groups, neighbors who came to my house for Christmas dinner, neighbors who caught my boy off the school bus when I was in traffic. I had a neighbor once who actually stopped me in my driveway to tell me that he thought I was a really good mother.
Poll: What Kind of Neighbors Do You Want?
I love my neighbors.
But it is hard to know exactly what a good neighbor ought to be in this world.
As a military spouse, I never want to be a hassle to any of my neighbors. I never want to be seen as the needy one or the burden.
Yes, I am operating man-down when my servicemember is gone. But I don't need a mother. I don't need to be anyone's Christmas charity. I really don't need to be someone's To Do or Ta Da.
As a military spouse, I don't need someone to watch over me. I need someone to watch out for me.
I think Fred and I do that pretty well for each other. As neighbors, we know what normal looks like. Since my glassed-in office faces Fred's many-windowed, little-curtained kitchen, we can't help but be aware of each other's habits. Fred and his wife know how many teenagers' cars are usually in my driveway. They know I wouldn't leave my hose running on purpose.
I know their normal, too. I know what time they get home from work. I notice if they go out of town for the weekend. I know what time they usually cut off the TV and go to bed. If something happened to them, I would know. I would act.
And maybe that is really the essential part of being neighbor to each other today -- that we see the little thing that could make a difference, and that we then act swiftly.
Fred's morning save cost him exactly nine minutes. It saved me hours. It saved my servicemember from worrying about us. It made all of us more grateful than ever to be part of this thing we call a neighborhood.

Release process notes
From Erights
I am seeding this page by jotting down notes on the process of performing the E 0.9.2 release, as a guide to others who may do future releases or more fully automate the process (please!). This information is descriptive; not prescriptive.
At Kevin's suggestion, I did a
$ svn log -r321:HEAD svn://svn.synchrona.org/erights/e/trunk
to gather all the log entries since the last release. I then summarize them in the Highlights, Features, Bug Fixes, and Other Changes below.
Kevin enumerated the release blockers for the this release:
- Since r468, help(<int>) shows no methods.
- Since ???, epatt__quasiParser always throws a parse error.
Fixed them as of r635.
Building the Release
Once all other changes are checked in and ready to go, on a Windows Cygwin shell (with gcc and a sun jdk installed), bring all sources up to date. (svn update, etc).
In e/src/Makefile, change
The DOTVER is used to generate the names of the tarballs and the value of the
e.version property. TAGVER is no longer used, but was used for cvs tagging.
In the "e" directory, i.e., the parent of the "e/src" directory, do
$ chmod -R a+rX .
$ chmod -R u+w .
$ rm -rf classes/ dist/ export/ tarballs/
$ ls -la # verify the directories are actually gone.
None of the above should be necessary, but helps to work around various weirdnesses that seem to crop up on Windows, such as directories that can't be deleted. However, the permissions fixes may only be needed on systems in which Polaris is installed.
$ cd src
$ MAKE_PARSERS=true make draft tarballs
$ ls -la ../tarballs
For reference, this time the output looked like
$ ls -la ../tarballs
total 23888
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 Terry None 0 May 10 20:21 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 9 Terry None 0 May 10 20:17 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 Terry None 3143728 May 10 20:21 E-purej-0.9.2a.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 Terry None 15954776 May 10 20:20 E-src-0.9.2a.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 Terry None 5353732 May 10 20:21 E-win32-x86-0.9.2a.zip
Note that the
make can take vastly longer on Windows than it does on Unix. Or maybe it's just our old PC. Or maybe it's a bad interaction with Polaris. We don't know.
For normal development, you normally don't need MAKE_PARSERS. However, this should be on when building a release and prior to the final checkin.
If the make succeeds and everything looks good, then try installing the
E-win32-x86-0.9.2a.zip by unpacking it into a fresh directory, where you'd like E installed, such as
c:/Program Files/erights.org. Make the directory if necessary. Double click on
e.jar. If E installs successfully, your should see a monologue box pop up saying "Welcome to E 0.9.2a".
Run whatever other tests you need to feel comfortable that E still works after the changes since the last release. (Ideally, this would be an automated set of tests that are normally all green. We are not yet ready for that.)
If it all checks out, then do an SVN commit.
$ svn ci
or interactively using Tortoise SVN (recommended). The commit message should state that this corresponds to this release.
Updating the web site
Check out and/or SVN update the erights.org website. The following assumes that the "doc" directory is placed under "e" as a sibling to "src".
$ cd ../doc/dowload
$ ls -la
We see an "0-9-1" directory but no "0-9-2" directory. We copy 0-9-1 to make an initial draft 0-9-2, remove all 0-9-2 ".svn" subdirectories, and modify 0-9-2 to reflect the new release.
$ cp -r 0-9-1 0-9-2
$ cd 0-9-2
$ rm -rf `find . -name '.svn'`
Note that this directory copy-and-revise is not a good practice. We should switch towards documenting the current release on wiki.erights.org, and maintain a single canonical set of install documentation, rather than a per-release copy.
Within the 0-9-2 directory,
- Replace all occurrences of "0.9.1b" with "0.9.2a".
- Replace all "0-9-1" with "0-9-2". This will inappropriately change some of the navigation button links at the top and bottom of the page, but we will repair those below.
- Because I have stupidly temporarily lost access to my account on cypherpunks.to, I am replacing all "https://www.cypherpunks.to/erights/download/0-9-2/" with nothing, turning the rest of these links into links into the local directory.
(The tool I happen to use for search-and-replace is also my favorite almost-wysiwyg html editor, Dreamweaver.)
Then, back up in the doc directory (the root of the website)
$ cd ../..
I edit toc.txt to include the new 0-9-2 copy of the files. Save. Then rebuild the page navigation buttons
$ make buttons
Next, I revise the text on the pages in this directory to more accurately describe the 0.9.2a release. Kevin reminds me that these pages have carried forward many old issues, like daffE, which are no longer relevant. Since this leads to the removal of several files (README.html, highlights.html, linux-motif-x86-install.html, linux-gtk-x86-install.html, and mac-ppc-install.html), I also remove any that appear in the 0-9-2 section of toc.txt and re "make buttons" as above.
I do an SVN commit of all relevant files.
Uploading and Finishing Touches
Then I build the doc.tar.gz representing the surface of the new erights.org website. I use the following private bash function (in my "~/.bashrc" which is not checked in because it hasn't yet been engineered for use by anyone else:
mkdoc ()
rm -rf ~/efoo/doc;
echo "starting";
rune ~/e/src/esrc/scripts/copyOnly.e '~/'e/doc '~/'efoo/doc .html;
echo "html";
rune ~/e/src/esrc/scripts/copyOnly.e '~/'e/doc '~/'efoo/doc .gif;
rune ~/e/src/esrc/scripts/copyOnly.e '~/'e/doc '~/'efoo/doc .jpg;
rune ~/e/src/esrc/scripts/copyOnly.e '~/'e/doc '~/'efoo/doc .jpeg;
rune ~/e/src/esrc/scripts/copyOnly.e '~/'e/doc '~/'efoo/doc .png;
rune ~/e/src/esrc/scripts/copyOnly.e '~/'e/doc '~/'efoo/doc .txt;
echo "copied";
rm -rf `find ~/efoo/doc -name .svn`;
rm -rf ~/efoo/doc/talks/e-overview;
rm -rf ~/efoo/doc/javadoc;
echo "prepared";
( cd ~/efoo;
tar czf ~/e/doc/download/doc.tar.gz doc );
echo "packaged";
( cd ~/e/doc/download;
scp doc.tar.gz email@example.com:e/doc/download );
( cd ~/e/doc/download;
scp doc.tar.gz email@example.com:e/doc/download )
Because I don't currently have access to my cypherpunks.to account, the last scp above will fail.
Once the scp'ing is done, I then manually ssh into each of these sites (currently just combex.com) and do
# Remotely at the combex.com site
$ cd ~/e
$ tar xzf doc/download/doc.tar.gz
Yes, I know that I can do this directly with ssh commands, but whether out of habit or a false need for hand-on comfort, I don't.
With the new website in place, I finally transfer the E distribution tarballs there. I do so by first copying them into my local 0-9-2 directory, so that my local directory will more faithfully reflect the real site.
# Locally again in my 0-9-2 directory
$ cp ../../../tarballs/*.zip ../../../tarballs/*.gz .
$ scp *.zip *.gz email@example.com:e/doc/download/0-9-2
I use my browser to check that the website looks good and that the download links work. I update ReleaseNotes092 to point at [1]. I update Downloads. Oops. I notice that I forgot to edit the download page to point at the 0-9-2 directory. Go through the edit, SVN commit, mkdoc, scp, ssh, unpack, check cycle again.
And finally I announce on e-lang.

Hi ,
I have a query regarding IT 45 (loans) and P11D
Scenario :
Employee has a loan 0200 - Building loan with annuity payme
Employee is changing the company code w.e.f 1 April 2015 hence in IT 45 we have created an entry w.e.f 30 march 2015 with complete repayment of the remaining balance (i:e approx 8333 pound).
Created a new record w.e.f 1 April (date from which he is moving to new company code) with payment type Loan Balance Transfer.
After running payroll , when we run P11d then we noticed that /LAE is reported with the remaining balance 8333 however it should be zero as complate payment has been done.
Loan 2 is fine , correct values are reported ;however I am worried about loan 1 .
Can anyone please advice me on this .
about /LAE - I know If the loan was however paid back in full at some point in time during the given tax year, the amount stored in this wage type
represents the last outstanding value of the loan prior to being paidoff
This amount creates a problem when reported in P11D with higher value despite of the fact that complete payment has been done due to company code change
IT 45 in P11D (GB payroll)

A couple of times a month, we give in to powerful shrimp cravings. Our favorite indulgence: Salt-and-pepper shrimp from a local Chinese takeout restaurant. Large pink shrimp, fried just so, tossed with lots of salt, pepper and green chili. Irresistible as a nibble or as a main-course feast piled on rice. We could go for it right now.
As with any dish that captures our hearts, we knew we had to learn to make this at home. But a few rules applied to the finished dish before we would declare success: Better than takeout. Worth the dirty dishes. Less expensive.
So, the experimentation began. Research in Asian cookbooks revealed whole shrimp in the shell going into a deep fryer for this popular Cantonese dish.
Since deep-frying remains our least favorite cooking method, we decided to try shallow-frying small amounts at a time in a wok with a minimum of oil. Removing the shell made for less messy eating. To prevent oil from splattering, we patted the shrimp absolutely dry.
A sparse coating of cornstarch helped them crisp. The result? Super-plump, super-tender, drop-dead gorgeous shrimp.
For the seasonings, we opted for ordinary fresh black pepper (some recipes use Sichaun pepper), fine salt and a little sugar. Plenty of shallots and fresh jalapeno add crunch and a pleasant burn.
We're so enamored of the shrimp from this technique we created a sweet version with fresh pineapple, perfect for those who have grown out of the sweet and gloppy Asian main dishes we enjoyed as kids.
The recipe and the red chili pineapple variation double easily — just avoid the temptation to cook too many shrimp at once.
Serve this spicy shrimp as an appetizer with plenty of napkins and cold beverages. For a main course, pile it onto coconut rice. Then toss the take-out menus!
Buying tips
Some shrimp may come from places that are overfished or raised in ways that they are harmful to the environment.
When possible, buy shrimp farmed in the United States because we enforce strict environmental laws for the farmers that other countries do not.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium tells us that some U.S. shrimp farmers have even further reduced their impact on the environment by raising shrimp in fully recirculating systems or inland ponds, away from sensitive coastal habitats.
The easiest way to purchase shrimp responsibly is to shop at stores that provide origin information. Avoid shrimp that is not labeled adequately.
All shrimp are sold by size — how many shrimp per pound — even if they have a name such as colossal or jumbo. For a terrific treat in the recipe below, use the impressive 13 to 15 per pound shrimp. When using smaller shrimp, such as jumbos (16 to 20 per pound), or extra large (22 to 24 per pound), decrease the cooking time to prevent overcooking.
Salt-and-pepper shrimp with green chili
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes
Servings: 4
Note: Anaheim, poblano or green bell pepper can be substituted for the jalapeno to reduce the kick.
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon each: sugar, freshly ground pepper
1 large or 2 small shallots, peeled, finely chopped (or 4 green onions)
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded, thinly sliced
1 pound colossal-size shrimp, 13 to 15 pieces, peeled, tail intact, deveined
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup vegetable oil or expeller-pressed canola oil
1. Mix salt, sugar and pepper in a small bowl. Mix shallots, garlic and jalapenos in another small bowl. Pat shrimp very dry with towel. Toss lightly in a bowl with the cornstarch.
2. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed wok or small saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. (Dip the edge of a shrimp in the oil; it should bubble vigorously.) Add a quarter of the shrimp; continuously move them around in the oil with metal tongs or a wire strainer, until they turn pink, about 40 seconds. Remove to a plate to drain; repeat with remaining shrimp.
3. Very carefully pour the oil off into a heatproof container. Return 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil to the wok (or a large nonstick skillet). Heat over medium-high. Add the salt mixture; stir-fry 10 seconds. Add the shallot mixture; stir-fry 10 seconds. Add all the shrimp; stir-fry just until shrimp are tender, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from wok to serving platter. Serve hot.
Red chili pineapple shrimp:
Substitute 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for the jalapeno and add it along with 1 cup fresh pineapple (cut into 1/2-inch dice) to the shallot-garlic mixture in step 1. Sprinkle finished dish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Coconut rice
In a rice cooker, place 2 cups medium-grain rice, 1 can (14 ounces) low-fat unsweetened coconut milk and 3/4 cup water; cook according to manufacturer's directions. Alternatively, simmer over very low heat in a small, heavy-duty saucepan, covered tightly, until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat: let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
A couple of times a month, we give in to powerful shrimp cravings. Our favorite indulgence: Salt-and-pepper shrimp from a local Chinese takeout restaurant. Large pink shrimp, fried just so, tossed with lots of salt, pepper and green chili. Irresistible as a nibble or as a main-course feast piled on rice. We could go for it right now.

The atheist response to the text of the Bible is based primarily upon the young earth creationist interpretation, which is flawed. If I put myself objectively in the position of the atheist attempting to debunk the Bible I would start with Genesis Chapter 1. The Chapter passed the inspection of this former atheist.
The Hebrew verb consists of two different states. The perfect state indicates an action which is complete, whereas the imperfect state indicates a continuous or incomplete action.
At Genesis 1:1 the word bara, translated as created, is in the perfect state, which means that at this point the creation of the heavens and the Earth were completed. Later, as in verse 16 the Hebrew word asah, translated as made, is used, which is in the imperfect state, indicating continuous action. The heavens and Earth were created in verse 1 and an indeterminate time later they were being prepared for habitation, much the same as a bed is manufactured (complete) and made (continuous) afterwards.
What this means is that the creation was complete even before the six "days" of creation even began, in fact, later verses in the chapter reveal it was more than likely a long time in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.

That's how I get mine.
David, maybe it would be better to blog about your thoughts on god rather than setting up an "atheist challenge" in a discussion forum.
I'd like to use the word "calculating" in accordance to what you are doing here and your last discussion as well. "calculating" in the same sense that I would use in accordance to some large corporations. Perhaps these corporations haven't broken the law, done anything "wrong" or are even inherently evil but they planned for an outcome and that outcome depends upon a particular set up.
I do sleight of hand tricks. These tricks are just that -tricks. They are calculating and they depend heavily on the set up. These are for fun. The only fun on this discussion that there has been was at your expense. Then you go on to explain that you are the resident "scapegoat". If you bring it all on yourself then that is not a scapegoat. I'd rather say it's a bit masochistic of you.
So rather than all the song and dance why don't you blog. This would eliminate all of the "guess what I'm holding behind my back." "wrong" and "wrong" and "wrong but keep guessing" bit.
I think it's called e-martyrdom, Jared :) It's a bit wussy because you get to walk away afterwards
Virtual martyrdom. Once you find that you have become a human pincushion from all the arrows sticking out of you, you take the virtual reality goggles off, and shut power off to your X-box-like system.
Sounds like all you managed to do was prove that whoever wrote Gensis was lousy at Hebraic grammar...
After having read through the entirety of this discussion, I find your post to be interesting, but altogether inconsequential. All you are doing is arguing semantics, and that's going to be a problem for you to convince anyone. The only people who actually care about semantic arguments are lawyers. To most of us here, is doesn't matter that a particular translation of a language from 2500-3000 years ago gives some leeway to a different interpretation of a myth. It's still just a myth.
We care far more about evidence, and the evidence is (as Arch has pointed out in numerous places) that these are all just stories written by different people at different times and assembled as we know it know by other men who came afterwards. Moses, who you say wrote Genesis, is considered by the academic community to never have existed. The enslavement of the Jews by the Egyptians never occurred. Modern archeology has found that this is true.
Gallup said that a great many of the sciences when viewed as a whole prove that the Bible is nothing more than a work of fiction. They do more than that. They explain how the whole history of religious thought is nothing more than superstition.
Actually Sagacious, according to the Bible, approximately 2 million Jews left Egypt under the leadership of Moses, at a time when the entire population of Egypt was only 3.5 million - such an Exodus would have decimated the Egyptian economy, yet there is no mention of it in any of the Egyptian annals, and those guys were anal about annals.
But I've read a couple of sources that indicate the possibility that there was a small band of Levites, who may have been enslaved in Egypt and were released, but that still leaves no indication of a Moses.
Further, there is no indication that the Jewish people worshipped Yahweh until after the so-called exodus. Exodus has god telling Moses that his name is Yahweh, but that he was known to Abraham, Issac and Jacob as "El Shaddai" It makes sense that whatever Jews actually DID go into Egypt worshipped "El Shaddai," but over the 400 ensuing years, may have lost their religion entirely. Upon leaving Egypt, whoever their leader may have been, he would have wanted to unite the people, and one of the best ways of doing that was to provide them with a god who would punish them if they don't follow his rules.
The origin of "El Shaddai" is interesting. Genesis relates that Abraham came from "Ur of the Chaldees." The Chaldeans were a people who occupied Southeastern Mesopotamia around 700 BCE, but didn't even exist in the time Abe allegedly lived. Further, there was indeed a city in Mesopotamia called "Ur," but "Ur" was simply the Sumerian word for "city." From there, according to Genesis, Abe traveled to Haran, on the Syrian border. Interestingly, there is a small city just 20 miles east of Haran, called "Ur-fa," the residents of which to this day, pride themselves as living in what they swear is the birthplace of Abraham. That would make far more sense, as moving to a city (Haran) only twenty miles away, is a far simpler explanation of Abraham's relocation, than to believe he traveled the entire length of Mesopotamia.
Mesopotamia (Iraq) was first ruled by the Sumerians for 4,000 years, then taken over by the Akkadians for a thousand years, and finally, by the Amorites, or Amurrites, who originated in Syria, the location of both Ur-fa and Haran. Throughout the Issac story and the Jacob story, Abe's nephew is known as "Laban, the Syrian," which would certainly indicate that either Abe and his entire clan were Syrian, or at least came from there.
But as I mentioned, Syria was the original home of the Amurrites, whose one god was known as "Amurru," which is how the people themselves were named, being followers of Amurru. The fascinating part of all this, is that "Amurru" had a nick-name - he was known as "El Shaddai"!
It would appear then, that the Jews followed Amurru until they went into Egypt, lost their religion, returned to the Levant, where for a time, they teamed up with another Arab tribe known as the Kenites, aka, the Midianites, who followed a single god they called YWH.
Shortly after, we have the Israelis following a god named YHWH, aka Yahweh, who admits he was known to Abe, Ike and Jake as "El Shaddai." I'm sensing a horse change in the middle of the stream.
Because too many people fall for these fantasies.
The problem is, Blaine, that you can mold your fantasy to fit you precisely, whereas facts are facts, and to connect with them you have to do a little self-modification from time to time.
It is the easiest thing in the world to imagine your personal relationship with your deity, because you really don't have to make any effort. You just rearrange your interpretation of your deity to fit you snugly (reference Westboro BC for example).
Taking on personal responsibility for yourself and your actions requires you to be an adult and stand on your own two feet. To do this you must be prepared to learn, and change, and adapt to your environment without the pacifier of being forgiven and absolved.
I think you're expressing the main reasons TA exists. Some are here to blow off steam with people who share the frustration. Some (like myself) are also here to try to understand why woo is so ingrained and easily accepted by human culture, and maybe learn to respond against it with more savvy and effectiveness. (It ain't easy!)
What I find amusing, David, is that you continue to delve into ancient texts for answers. You seem to take them as God's word, but you forget that at one point, every one of the fantastical and tragic events that happen in the Bible were current events. Part of the reason they take on an air of divinity is because they are seen through the eyes of legend--therefore edited for effect.
Imagine yourself as the editor of the Biblical Times, a newspaper dedicated to writing down the events as they happen. An ace reporter brings you in an account of a leader of a band of former slaves coming back from a 40 year journey, and he has inscribed tablets that they say are direct from Hisself. You David, would be the one debunking every unbelievable story. You have shown that you have an interest in research, but somewhere along the way, you stop when someone supposedly authoritative in ancient history says goddidit. If you were there, you would be the one saying "no He di'n't".
The ancient accounts you read have all of the authority of the blogs you might read today. Certainly the stories were honed by oral historians, not for their truth, but for their mnemonics. If you were there, right as the first accounts were coming in, you, of all people would be the most skeptical.
Even regarding Genesis 1:1, someone would bring you the information that they know how the world was formed. You would ask how they got the info and they might say they got it from their grandpa. You would go ask him and he would say he heard it from his grandpa. At some point you will realize that it is totally unprovable, what was said, and it would not even make page 13 of the Biblical Times.
So, I encourage you to go on with your research of Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Or Jebus Horatio of Nazereth: Water Walker. They are pretty much the same thing.

Cosi's No Apology Viral Email With 17 Health Violations | News
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) - Rodents and other health violations at Cosi's Metro Center location exploded into a PR problem beyond sanitation when the regional manager issued a statement calling a WUSA9 inquiry "unwarranted" and asking us not to look under their tables because it created "a great deal of distress."
A part-owner of Cosi intervened as the controvery escalated and issued an apology.
You can see the full Cosi email on Russ Ptacek's Facebook page and add your opinion. You can also follow him on Twitter.
DC Health inspectors ordered an emergency closure at the Cosi Metro Center store citing rodents, rodent droppings, chicken and other foods at potentially sickening temperatures, improper tracking of employee diseases transmittable through food, and sinks too small to clean Cosi's large utensils, trays, and bowls.
When we visited the store the manager asked us to leave and said she would contact an owner.
That's when we received the Cosi email that that didn't offer an apology or address the "imminent health hazard" identified by city inspectors.
"We would appreciate it if you do not disturb our customers, partners and management team with unwarranted investigations," wrote regional manager Yasmin Contreras. "Actions such as looking under our furniture or asking questions aggressively do a great deal of distress towards our customers and our Cosi team."
View the attached videotape to see how we approached the store manager. You can also see the small brown pellets we examined on the floor that turned out to be coffee beans.
We posted the email on Facebook.
"Keyword - unwarranted - makes me wonder if they don't understand the depth of having 17 serious violations," wrote Facebook member Marsha Ioerger. "A cameraman and investigative reporter must threaten them more than rodent droppings."
"Cop out," wrote Facebook member CoCo ColeBaby Wallace . "Keep the people informed."
After we posted the Cosi email on Facebook, it was shared more than 140 times and reached about 20,000 people.
Only one supported Cosi's reaction.
"It is his establishment and his request was not out of line," wrote Patricia Badaczewski. "Sorry Russ, but you were looking for a 'gotcha' moment."
Washington City Paper included the controvery in a column.
"Will WUSA9 reporter Russ Ptacek...see his freedom to investigate restaurant rats abridged?" WCP wrote. "Cosi has asked Ptacek not to show up at its Metro Center location with cameras in tow, warning that he could cause "a great deal of distress."
One of Cosi's owners, Richard Pawlowski contacted WUSA9 by phone apologizing for the response and for the sanitation violations.
"We appreciate the work that you do," Pawlowski said in a follow-up email. "We would further like to thank the DC Health Department for their work, we have always maintained a positive working relationship with the inspectors."
"We have taken the opportunity to provide some additional training to our staff and we have implemented new procedures that reinforce our very high standards of health, safety and hygiene at this and all of our other locations," Pawlowski wrote. "We take the food safety very seriously and we would welcome our guests to visit us to see the high standards that we maintain."
Pawlowski agreed to an on-camera interview, but said scheduling prevented made it impossible to meet the deadline of this story.

I LOVE this manga series.
Ai Yazawa is such a great mangaka, and although it was Paradise Kiss that first made me fall in love, Nana that kept me obsessed, Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai is my ultimate favorite -squeal- I LOVE LOVE LOVE this manga- but not as much as you guys for putting it up
I love Ai Yazawa so much! And Tennai is a great story... I re-read it recently and realized that Yazawa's artwork really changed drastically during this series- The first chapter doesn't look anything like the style we all associate with her now.
Tennai has a rather typical shoujo plotline, but the way the situations are addressed by the characters are original- and very realistic. That's why I love Tennai so much.
ohh yeah! the artwork really change I cant wait to read more abou tennai I really love this manga I think the characters are so nice! And the last chapter ended so drastically! ahhh I just want to find out what's going to happend next!! cant wait!

Metalforming Electronics
Sensors and New Management
It has come to my attention that some metalforming companies have backed off from their die-protection sensor programs. To cut costs and save money, their sensor programs have received a range of haircuts with the worst being the total elimination of an inhouse sensor program. On the other hand, there are metalforming companies who are aggressively ramping up their sensor programs for the same reason—to save the company money. How is this possible? How can companies have such radically different opinions of sensor programs?
In this challenging economy there have been lots of management personnel shuffles in the upper ranks of our metalforming companies. Long accepted and established best practices with sensors for die protection are being freshly reviewed by new managerial staffs. A new vice president of finance, engineering, manufacturing or tooling who does not come from a shop fully committed to electronic sensing for mistake-proofing will perhaps not fully understand why his new employer has invested so much into a serious sensor program. Why have a fulltime sensor applications specialist? Why have a sensor lab to test sensor applications? Why use electronic sensors to monitor strip feed position, stripper-plate closure, cam returns, nitrogen-cylinder pressures, punch breakage and the like when all that is needed is to monitor the part out? In fact, why have electronic sensors at all when the experience that this new management-team member has with die protection is a simple whisker wire at the end of the die checking for short feed?
It is not hard to imagine that financially driven efforts when combined with the benevolent ignorance of how electronic sensors actually save the company enormous amounts of money can lead to sensor-program haircuts. I say benevolent ignorance because I suspect that this new crop of management has not had the exposure and development with respect to mistake-proof manufacturing that the previous managerial ranks have had.
New managers may come from stamping shops that had no formal sensor program and thus die crashes were viewed as a normal part of doing business. Or, they may be from an unrelated industry where electronic sensing would have been an exotic venture. Or, they may be from outside manufacturing altogether. Whatever their backgrounds, it is paramount that managers receive a clear explanation of how the sensor program has saved their new employer die-repair and scrap expenses.
Once a successful sensor-based mistake-proofing program is in place and saving money, everyone from the press operator to the owner no longer questions the need for sensors. Cost justifications for the first few dozen dies were mandatory at a shop years ago when a program was first started. Years later there is no need to perform detailed financial reports as it becomes clear that sensors work.I ask that before we throw the baby out with the bath water that we have a serious conversation as to why we had the baby in the first place. Those who gave birth to a sensor program and nourished it for years need to appreciate the new manager's lack of appreciation for such a program. I believe that a thorough presentation, with images and cost analyses, be made to all new managers. Give the new manager the benefit of the doubt and you may be surprised how quickly he will come onboard and support your sensor program. MF
