Newcastle United's interest in Remy Cabella makes for an easy Joe Kinnear gag somewhere – something along the lines of trying to get a two-for-one deal for Remy and Cab in the January transfer window.
While nothing would surprise you in the mad, bad world of Newcastle United, their very real interest in Montpellier's versatile playmaker actually hints at something else entirely: evolution. And thank goodness for that.
Newcastle have become a credible, creditable side in the last two months and Alan Pardew has re-arranged some very talented players into a system that has been effective against the Premier League's best. But their rope-a-dope strategy, which accounted effectively for Chelsea and Manchester United, was not nearly as damaging when it came to Arsenal in the days after Christmas.
Newcastle produced little and there was none of the conviction that there had been in the games against West Brom (at home), Southampton and Crystal Palace. Accusations of caution were levelled at United's manager, who would quite rightly point to a manager-of-the-month award and Newcastle's elevated league position as a counter-argument.
Perhaps he has a point but even he would admit that to prosper in the long-term, they need to add another element to their game in the second half of the season.
It is my belief that the impetus might be provided by a new recruit, as it was when Papiss Cisse was signed from Freiburg two years ago.
It was that, more than anything, that propelled the Magpies into the top five two years ago and it is something they are going to need to do in the latter stages of this campaign if they are to cling on to the coat-tails of the European challengers as those long winter evenings shorten. Enter Cabella, a player of international class who can be stationed in a creative role in the engine room or attack from the wings.
Now United may balk at Montpellier's supposed £12m price tag (French sources suggest much, much less would get him), but the very fact that these names are being bandied about provides evidence that someone, somewhere in the St James' Park hierarchy is looking at credible ways for the club to progress. Bravo.
As we know all too well though, in Ashley's Newcastle seeing a player and doing something about it is something very different. Enter Kinnear, as it were.
Time is very much of the essence when it comes to a player like Cabella, also tracked by Tottenham and Manchester United – who desperately need a creative presence in their midfield. The indications given to the main men at St James' Park are that Cabella prefers the guaranteed interest of Newcastle and the promise of first-team football than the uncertain prospect of possible dithering from Old Trafford, where he knows he's a fair way down the wish-list.
Can Kinnear strike though? The dysfunction and dithering that typified the director of football's efforts in the summer were acutely disappointing, appearing to confirm all the worst expectations of the former Wimbledon manager.
If he worked in most normal jobs, such a failure to deliver would have put him under pressure but he is Ashley's ally and as such he remains bullet-proof. Still, that will only last so long, and if Newcastle start to move backwards then at least one part of the uneasy truce that has seen United from the start of the season to this point might be stretched to breaking point.
Ironically, this is the one month when Ashley didn't need to shake it up. Newcastle have traditionally done pretty well in January, striking skilfully to land Cisse and Hatem Ben Arfa on cut-price deals before doing five smart deals last year.
Kinnear has a big job to do to match those exacting standards. We're only three days into the window, but the clock is already ticking.

It has been reported that the lawsuit put forth by Black Flag guitarist and founding member Greg Ginn, against the supergroup FLAG (Keith Morris on vocals, Chuck Dukowski on bass, Bill Stevenson on drums, Stephen Egerton on guitar and Dez Cadena also on guitar), has been settled.
"Flag gets to be Flag, and Black Flag as it is presently known continues to be Black Flag," said the plaintiff's attorney. They also said that Ginn has been confirmed to own Black Flag recordings, name and logo.
Black Flag's most recent album What The… was released on December 13th via SST Records. Since then, Ron Reyes left the band on not-so-good terms, stating that he thought the group "fell very short." and they have announced a tour featuring new vocalist Mike Vallely.

The next best thing to 3D is, well, a screen that's 3D glasses-free. But add that with an Android 4.0 tablet and it would be totally awesome. Fortunately, a new line of inexpensive 3D tablets has been launched by a company called Gadmei.
The features of the Gadmei T863 3D tablet include an 8 inch, 1280x768p display equipped with a 5-point capacitive touch panel, 1GB RAM, 1GHz Amlogi Cortex A9 processor, 8GB storage, 500mAh battery, and 2 cameras on both sides of the tablet. It also has ports for a mini HDMI, microSD, and mini USB.
Setting itself apart from the other tablet manufacturers, 3D is a great gimmick the brand has ventured into. But really, there aren't a lot of 3D content available… yet. There is an auto-looped demo video of a woman flying through the air via 3D display, so it should be pretty cool.
However, we did find that the screen of the T863 was a bit temperamental. In order to see the right 3D effect, you will need to gaze at the tablet from the appropriate angle. If not, all you'll see is a blurry image. No point of having a 3D tablet there, unfortunately. Another 3D tablet, the E8-3D has almost the same features, except for the 1280x800p display. The brand also has a series of other tablets without 3D technology.
The range for Gadmei 3D tablets is between $130 and $160. The T863 is now being sold as retail for just $199.

It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.
On what is fear: Non-acceptance of uncertainty. If we accept that uncertainty, it becomes an adventure!
When you go through a hard period, when everything seems to oppose you, when you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, never give up! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined.
We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.
Whosoever knoweth the power of the dance, dwelleth in God.
Dancing is when you rise above both worlds, tearing your heart to pieces and giving up your soul.
Without love, all worship is a burden, all dancing is a chore, all music is mere noise.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside by chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.
A divine dance appears in the soul and the body at the time of peace and union. Anyone can learn the dance, just listen to the music.
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind; dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Be kind to yourself, dear – to our innocent follies. Forget any sounds or touch you knew that did not help you dance. You will come to see that all evolves us.
In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance.
Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.
What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water.
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
There is a moon inside every human being. Learn to be companions with it.
Who could be so lucky? Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of moon.
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
You have no need to travel anywhere – journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.
Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.
Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.
Shine like the whole universe is yours.
Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
The universe and the light of the stars come through me.
The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

When I was growing up, my mother filled me with visions of her hometown, Otwock in Poland, describing it as a kind of Brigadoon without actually using that American word.
It seemed like an enchanted spot graced by tall pine trees, lush lilac bushes and bracing air. In an era when anti-Semitic discrimination seemed laced into the national fabric, the Jews of Otwock managed to squeeze much sweetness out of their hardscrabble lives through timeless religious habits and the pleasures of a resort that attracted bourgeois vacationers and Hasidim.
My sister and I recently visited the town for the first time. It was lilac season and the pine trees were still tall, the air as bracing. But we found with palpable certainty that the Jews are all gone — there were 10,000 of them — and only a few traces are left of the touchstones of my mother's girlhood.
All four synagogues, including those where her father was a cantor on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, were destroyed by the Germans. The wooden "villa" where her family had a cramped apartment had been replaced by a retirement home for priests. Even the cemetery where her mother was buried when our mother was only 6 was an overgrown shambles of crooked, broken headstones.
In our father's hometown, Borynya, across the border in Ukraine, we learned firsthand that we come from poor hill people — Berger means "mountain person" — who subsisted on farming and lumber from Carpathian spruces. We spoke to an 86-year-old woman who remembered when the sprawling village had 300 Jews; she even vaguely recalled the Bergers. But we understood more firmly how painful recounting the past must have been for our father, who lost his parents and six sisters to the Nazis. He not only did not speak about those sisters, he couldn't even tell us how beautiful the Carpathian countryside was.
Our parents' hometowns had receded into a dim past. Nevertheless, we, like many others now making this particular kind of roots journey, were enriched by the trip because we discovered a new Poland. Jews, some of them impassioned American expatriates, have planted the seeds of a reviving community in Warsaw and Krakow, and an astonishing corps of Polish gentiles have made it their mission to rediscover a people that had been so entwined with their own. We met a dozen such trailblazers who enlightened us about Jewish remnants and helped us locate cemeteries and repurposed synagogues.

I had seldom thought about actually visiting Poland, but after my mother's death in 2009 my curiosity seemed aroused and so did that of my sister, Dr. Evelyn Hartman (my wife's need for a family visit to Australia made the timing ideal).
We started our trip in Warsaw, most of which was leveled in the September 1939 blitzkrieg and in the retaliations for 1943 and 1944 uprisings. The Poles have recreated, brick by brick, the picturesque Old Town, where we had lunch with Maria Bukowska, a Polish Mary Poppins who cared with such tenderness for my Alzheimer's-ridden mother. At the elegant Literatka Cafe I confirmed that what I thought was Jewish food — an earthy mushroom soup and meat-filled ears of dough that I call kreplach and Poles call pirogi — is actually Polish food.
My mother, Rachel Golant Berger, lived in Warsaw from age 14, when her father sent her there to help put food on the table, until she was 20, when the Germans invaded in September 1939. In a memoir she hand-wrote in old age, she described the pleasures of shopping for shoes on chic Marszalkowska Street, attending Yiddish plays at the 2,000-seat Nowosci Theater, catching American movies, and savoring the cerebral hubbub at clubs for writers, socialists and Zionists.
Marszalkowska Street has been rebuilt and is still a modish boulevard. But the clubs and theaters were destroyed.
When the bombing began, my mother's half-brother Simcha advised her to avoid basement shelters — they might collapse — and dodge with him through the city's parks. My sister and I visited the two parks she named, Krasinski and Saxon Gardens, both throwbacks to a stately Warsaw past. Lilacs were in bloom, ducks paddled in a pond, lovers kissed on benches. It was hard to imagine the human corpses and horse carcasses my mother saw.
We looked for the market at Zelaznej Bramy (the Iron Gate), where her brother stumbled across an abandoned sack of prunes that fed them during the monthlong bombing. The market has been shifted, but it was bustling with stalls of fresh strawberries, sausages and flowers, a far cry from wartime and Communist-era austerity.
At the shelling's tail end, my mother retreated to an aunt's home at 26 Franciszkanska, closer to the Vistula River, on her brother's theory that they would be nearer a source of water they could drink. My mother described the building's terrified tenants huddled in a courtyard.
My sister and I saw a pleasant street where all the prewar buildings had been replaced by ascetic apartment blocks. There was no Number 26. What was left of the addresses we searched for was a four-story plain gray building at 16 Krasinaskiego where my parents and I, their infant son, lived in 1946 after returning to Poland from their wartime refuge in the Soviet Union.
They stayed a few months, fleeing when news broke of the Kielce pogrom that left 42 Jews dead and making their way to the Allied displaced persons camps. Like tens of thousands of other Jews, they gave up on Poland.
So my mother's Warsaw is no longer there, but we took time to enjoy contemporary Warsaw, which is a cosmopolitan city that can rival other European capitals in charm, intriguing shops and fine restaurants like Dawne Smaki on Nowe Swiat, where we ate pierogi while a woman played Chopin.
As important to us, it is a city that has made an effort to underscore its tragic Jewish past and rebuild. A New Yorker, Michael J. Schudrich, 60, is officially Poland's chief rabbi and has reignited Sabbath services at the Nozyk Synagogue, a surviving classic, with financing by the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture.
Helise Lieberman, another New Yorker, started a Jewish school 20 years ago with financing from the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation. It has 240 students, half of them non-Jewish. A modest community center has been set up by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
Ms. Lieberman, now director of Taube's Warsaw office, pointed out bricks inlaid in sidewalks demarcating the Warsaw Ghetto's wall and a monument to the Umschlagplatz (German for collection point), the square from which 300,000 Jews were shipped by freight cars to Treblinka. With muffled sorrow, we read the Yiddish names on an otherwise blank wall.
The new Polin Museum, too, with its inventively illuminating survey of the thousand-year history of Poland's Jews, seems a monument of atonement. As we entered, Jewish students from several countries stood outside singing "Hatikvah," Israel's national anthem.
On the ride southeast to Otwock, I could not help but recall that my mother walked 17 miles from Warsaw lugging the remainder of her prunes to make sure her father, Joshua Golant, a struggling Hebrew teacher, and the three small children still living at home, Esther, Chana and Shimele, were unharmed.
Jakub Lysiak, our resourceful guide, took us to where 17 Lesna Street, my mother's childhood home, stood. On this country lane hacked out of the pine woods, there are still wooden houses in a gingerbread style known as Swidermajer after Otwock's Swider River. But my mother's address no longer exists.
At the priests' residence we met the Rev. Jan Swierzewski, who informed us that an Otwock priest, the Rev. Ludwik Wolski, had been honored as "righteous" by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem for saving Jewish children by issuing baptismal certificates.
The wooden public schoolhouse for Jewish children that my mother attended until seventh grade — Christian children had a separate one — was demolished years ago. The Cukiernia Lapaty bakery that provided a memorable torte of chocolate marzipan for her school's graduates, is now a commercial building.
Almost all evidence of the presence of Jews has vanished. They were herded into a ghetto, starved and brutally beaten, the men humiliated by having beards cut off. Most were sent to Treblinka, among them very likely (my mother never knew for certain) my grandfather and his family.
Two spots are still suffused with memory. Hidden deep in a wood is the tumbledown cemetery. We spent an hour looking for the gravestone of my grandmother before giving up. Another is a small but ambitious museum that contains artifacts from Otwock's Jewish heyday found in houses where Jews had lived: a High Holy Days prayer book, a white Yom Kippur robe, a letter from a Zionist organization.
We asked the museum's director, Sebastian Rakowski, why he was interested in preserving Jewish traces, and he replied that he could not allow Jews to disappear from the town's collective memory. His own mother was born in 1944 "and she didn't know there were Jews in Otwock."
There was one other spot where for my sister and me ghosts walked: the venerable Otwock train station with its bold clock tower. After the war, my mother returned to search for relatives. At that station, someone told her the Jews had all been slaughtered. She never left the platform and took the next train back to Warsaw.
Between two visits to Otwock, we traveled to Treblinka. It is a haunted place because nothing of the death camp remains, though a tiny museum has a model camp that explains how speedily all of its 900,000 victims were dispatched in gas chambers. What has taken the place of the actual camp resembles a kind of Stonehenge, a field of stone markers arrayed almost higgledy-piggledy like a ravaged cemetery, each marker bearing the name of a locality whose Jews were deported there. We found the stone for Otwock, laid pebbles atop and recited Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead.
To see what a concentration camp was actually like required visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, which we did while in Krakow. We do not know of any relatives who ended up there. But we viewed with anguish the tiered bunks where 1,000 slaves per barrack — there were 350 barracks — were jammed in nightly; the heaps of shoes, glasses, even prosthetic legs that the Germans collected in their demonic meticulousness; and the grim gas chambers.
A few days later, we made the trek to the hometown of my father, Marcus Berger, in what was then Poland but is now Ukraine. And trek it was. While Poland is a 21st-century nation, the slice of Ukraine we saw is mired in the 19th, with roads so rutted it took three hours to drive some 30 miles. Cows and horses drew carts of supplies; roosters and stray dogs wandered about; ramshackle bungalows with corrugated roofs and outhouses are common; and gardens are pruned by women with long scythes.
In Borynya, one scythe-bearer took us to her 86-year-old toothless grandmother, Jaroslawa Kachaj. She was 12 when the Germans occupied Borynya and remembered Jewish neighbors: the Stuhlbauchs, Liebermans and, yes, Bergers, who lived in three houses on the other side of town.
From her and others we gathered a collection of disjointed facts. One Berger, perhaps my father's uncle, owned a tavern. Another was a talented seamstress. The mayor was named Friedman. The old woman's father was hired to sell merchandise on the Sabbath. A kindly Jewish physician, Dr. Ungst, tended to all.
Alex Denisenko, our Ukrainian-speaking guide, later sent me a 1929 Polish business directory and sure enough it had names Mrs. Kachaj mentioned. An M. Berger owned a lumber business and "spirits" were sold by an N. Berger. Other townspeople pointed out a modest evangelical church and told us that it had been the site of the synagogue, where no doubt my father was bar mitzvahed.
When the Nazis arrived in 1941, Borynya's Jews were subjected to beatings and indignities, with Ukrainian policemen assisting. A girl named Chaika, the grandmother said, came to her house pleading for bread. "My mother said 'Please eat quickly and leave or they will kill all of us.' " Then in 1942 there were mass executions. In one, two dozen Jews were forced to sing while marching in procession and then were shot in front of open graves.
"There was a large woman named Stuhlbauch," the grandmother told us. "They took her away in a convoy. She saw me and started crying. I saw another woman, they took away her clothes. She had only a nightgown. She was killed by a well."
Tetiana Wolczanska, a tempestuous retired schoolteacher who said she lived in a house once owned by a Jew, led us on a half-mile climb up a steep wooded hillside, requiring several crossings of a narrow stream, to a sloping meadow topped by an electric pole.
"In that field the Jews were killed," she said.
My sister and I looked up, struck by the field's quiet innocence. Here, too, we said Kaddish. Painful as it was, the moment again allowed my sister and me to share our legacy and brought us closer together; in our version of a roots trip, the bond we achieved along the way, as my sister said, was "one root we actually found."
On our way back, we stopped in Turka, Borynya's biggest neighbor, and were heartsick to see that one synagogue was being used as a sawmill, another as a car repair shop. Yet in Poland such buildings seem to be cared for with more dignity. In Lesko, Poland, a well-maintained 17th-century synagogue draws tourists even if it is used as an art gallery that sells Christian icons. So does an even more elegant 18th-century synagogue in Lancut, where biblical passages decorate the walls surrounding a Baroque four-pillared bimah, or platform from which prayers were led. A synagogue guide, Miroslaw Kedzior, taught himself Hebrew to better understand Judaism.
"The Hasidim tell me I have a Yiddish soul," he said.
As we made several such stops on our return to Krakow, we came to grips with what we had known abstractly: that Poland had been almost depleted of Jews both by the Nazis, the postwar pogroms and the Communist persecutions. There are 20,000 Jews left in a country that once had 3.3 million, according to Ms. Lieberman.
Yet shards of Judaism are being restored. Part of the effort is no doubt aimed at tourism. In medieval Krakow, largely intact, there are a half-dozen ancient synagogues, some that hold services, a well-preserved cemetery and a street with a dozen cafes that serve gefilte fish and matzo ball soup while gentile klezmer bands play Yiddish chestnuts. While charming, it was hard not to think of it as a Jewish Disneyland without actual Jews.
Yet cynicism aside, such efforts remind people that Jews were entwined in Poland's soul. As in Warsaw, a New Yorker, Jonathan Ornstein, has led a revival, setting up a Jewish community center that boasts 550 members, some people who have discovered that they had Jewish grandparents who harbored them with Christian families then perished.
"Poland has had periods of estrangement and persecution," Mr. Ornstein told us. "Let's take advantage of a good period."
While we were there, the center held a triumphant "Ride of the Living" along the 55 miles from Auschwitz to Krakow, with 70 cyclists taking part to underscore the hopeful future of Poland's Jews. One was Marcel Zielinski, an 80-year-old Montreal man. He last walked the route as a 10-year-old liberated from Auschwitz and hunting for his parents.
When he arrived on his bicycle in his Day-Glo green outfit alongside his son and two granddaughters, his face a jubilant grin, it was hard not to be overcome.

FAQs on Facet Syndrome
What exactly is facet syndrome?
The spinal column is a fascinating structure that is responsible for posture and support. Along the surface of the spine, on either side, are located thumbnail sized joints that are called the facet joints. These joints are found all the way from the neck to the sacrum, and assist in all those complex maneuvers your spine does every day. When they get affected with arthritis, the patient is said to be suffering from facet syndrome.
Facet joints, like any other joint, contain cartilage, therefore with age, just like any other joint, they undergo a certain amount of degeneration. As the cartilage is lost due to degeneration, the body tries to add more back but cannot generate it at the same rate as it used to. What that results in is excess bone as well as soft tissue being formed instead so that the joint can get firmed up again.
While these joints are admittedly really small, degenerative arthritis can cause them to make you feel a world of hurt all through your neck and back.
What are the symptoms of the facet syndrome?
Depending on the location of the facet arthritis, the person will feel different amounts of pain. It can begin as a back pain that then radiates to one or both sides, and then into the buttocks, hips and upper area of the thighs. Facet arthritis in the neck can cause pain in the neck that radiates into the shoulder.
As a result of all that excess bone and soft tissue that your body is producing, a nerve root in the vicinity could get pinched, resulting in spinal stenosis. Thus, either the arm or leg or both will suffer extreme pain.
What is the best treatment for facet syndrome?
You may think surgery is the best solution to get rid of it once and for all. But doctors suggest going that route only after you have tried everything else as surgery in case of facet syndrome have not shown best results in the past.
Primary treatment for facet syndrome should consist of drugs like anti inflammatories and Tylenol, which can help reduce the symptoms of pain. A doctor may also prescribe opiates and muscle relaxants, but their effects tend to fade over time, while the risk involved through their long term use increases.
Physiotherapy and chiropractic could also be considered to relieve pain, including manipulating the spine and stretching the paraspinal muscles. Stimulation using electricity, iontophoresis and other techniques could also help. Acupuncture has also been found to be extremely soothing. A TENs unit is a small unit that can be placed on the patient's belt and which administers slight electrical shocks that can help in pain relief and is also effective.
When all else fails, surgery can be considered.
Interventional Pain Management
Facet injections are numbing medicine and cortisone that is injected into the facet joints for pain relief every couple of weeks or months. They are considered as low risk solutions and can be performed even in OPD. In case there is also spinal stenosis, epidural steroid injections can help provide relief. This is when cortisone medication is injected in the area around the pained nerves and their anti inflammatory properties soothe the patient. Statistically speaking 75% to amazing full relief results have been achieved using this method. Medial branch blocks can also help as they numb the nerve endings around the joint thus ceasing the feeling of pain. It is an excellent way of finding out the root cause of pain.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a method of pain relief that requires radiofrequency thermal energy to be administered to the arthritic joint. Patients can be pain free for up to 18 months with this method, and it has been proved to be effective in over 80% of cases. This process has many names – radiofrequency denervation is a commonly used term. You may also come across radiofrequency neurotomy and terms like medial branch rhizotomy. What do you do if the pain comes back? There are numerous research reports which show that if the same procedure is repeated, the patient can get relief again.
What are the outcomes with facet syndrome?
Traditional methods can be used in order to relieve the pain without surgical intervention. One can reach tolerable limits without surgery. So the patient can usually get into many outdoor activities can playing with the kids in the park or walk around painlessly and even continue going to office for daily work. Only severe cases may need operation but the doctors always work to avoid it.

Forgiveness Luke 17:11-19
Forgiveness is tough. It just may be one of the most challenging things we Christians have to deal with. There are two tough aspects to forgiveness; people and sin.
We cannot be forgiven, we cannot forgive ourselves, and we cannot forgive others if we first don't face the sin.
There are times that we avoid the sins and we say, "It's no big deal." There are other times we exaggerate the sin and say, "It is too big of a deal for God to forgive." In both of these instances there is no forgiveness.
In the former, Christ can't forgive because they don't think forgiveness is needed. The latter instance, they think Christ won't forgive.
As we approach the cross, we need to boldly proclaim and hear that there is nothing Christ won't or can't forgive.

Executionplan with crazy percentages
I got the following executionplan from a customer (IT IS AN ESTIMATED EXECUTIONPLAN)
and as you can see, then the sum of the percentages is more than 100%. That should be impossible, but when I started to look into it, the reason was quite obviously:
The shown executionplan shows the complete SQL statement, but only a part of it is executed, and the sum of the executed part is 100%. So lets look into the SQL statement (you must have the Adventureworks2008R2 installed)
if (select count(*)
from Person.Person)=1234
select *
from person.person
cross join
There are 19972 rows in the Person.Person table, so we will never execute the cross join between the begin and end. Therefore the 100% in the executionplan will only be calculated on the Select count(*) from Person.Person.
Now we know how much CPU+IO the executed parts takes (hover over the Cond With Query Cost operator). On my server with my databsae it will take 0.0787.
If I hover over the Nested Loops with a cost of 12866355% that wil NEVER be executed, then the operator cost is approx. 10127,94. Now the formula is 100*10127,94 /0.0787 which approximately equals 12866355%.
So that is the reason for the strange percentages: 100% equals the executed part and then we divide the operator cost for each ŌĆ£Non ExecutedŌĆØ operators with the total cost for the executed parts.
What happens if the IF was true so that the cross join will be executed?
Well, then we get the same result.
If I execute the query then I get the following:
Strange. But basically I think I understand why the estimated executionplan acts as it does.
Imagine a SQL Statement like this:
if (select count(*) from Person.Person)=19972
select *
from person.person
cross join
select *
from person.person
cross join
Now the Query got more complicated, but if the sum should get 100% no matter what, then it would also be wrong because we will never execute all code, so I like to conclude:
- The code that the Optimizer is 100% sure to execute will calculate 100%.
- All other pathŌĆÖs of the code will related to the ŌĆ£100% sure exetued 100%ŌĆØ so that you have an idea about how long time it takes.

How to Make A Good Mix-Tape (or CD, Playlist, or Whatever)
OK, the title is a bit misleading, because who uses tapes any more. I still remember as a kid racing to hit record on the radio when a song that I liked came on so I could listen to it without buying a CD. I think that was the last vestige of the cassette tape, but then the CD and the CD burner came to be. Nowadays, do people do that anymore? I guess you can make a playlist, but the playlist is easy, because there are no constraints. No constraints on time means that there is no need for editorial perfection, which was always the hardest part of finishing off a mix. I love making mixes for people. It's incredibly cliche, but a well-done mix can do wonders. Music is one of the universal tools for expressing emotion, and the satisfaction of introducing a new song that someone loves is incredible. Whether it's simply for discovery or the announcing of romantic intentions, the mix is a time honored yet incredibly hard thing to pull off correctly. From High Fidelity:
"The making of a great compilation tape…it takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick it off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you gotta take it up a notch, but you don't want to blow your wad, so then you gotta cool it off a notch, there are a lot of rules."
All of the above is absolutely true, and here are a few more in no particular order.
1. Make It Personal.
Listen, let's be honest, whoever you're making the mix for is judging you. Music is personal, it reflects who you are and what you feel at any specific instant. You have to put that out of your mind, or else it becomes an exercise in vanity. Stop trying to seem cool, just put the tracks together for the other person. An inside joke can't hurt, but you have to mean it.
2. Separate Your Artists
No tracks by the same artist back-to-back. Kinda obvious, unless you're doing a specific thing with dual tracks, that's the exception.
3. Always start with more than you can fit on the medium (CD, tape, etc.)
Go through your library, pull whatever tracks you think the person would like onto a separate playlist. Once you've gone through your library, which takes shorter time than you think, start paring down. Live by this quote:
"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
– Antoine de Saint-Exupry
Once you strip it down to the essentials and you know that you can't cut anymore, you have your track list.
4. Track Order Matters.
Listen, a good mix should flow together, one song should sonically guide you toward the next. You can't have an old Sinatra track next to Zepplin, it just doesn't work, which brings me to my next rule.
5. Limit Your Genres
I know you want to put as much good stuff as you want on there, but that killer Lil' Wayne track probably won't cut it on an Indie/Alt. Rock mix.
6. Transition Transition Transition
Like it was said above, you have to start off with a killer hook, but then you have to string the entire mix together. You can't jump from high energy to ballad, you have to slow it down with some stuff in between, and then you have to work your way back up.
7. Silence is Golden
For me, I always leave a few seconds of dead time between tracks, usually 2, so you can clear your head of the previous song and get ready for the next. Constant audio is a bit too much sometimes.
8. Do You Like It?
Yes, I'm talking to you. You can't just find some obscure track that makes you seem like a music connoisseur just to tack that into your mix. Stop trying to make yourself look cool. We all know you didn't find that vintage live recording of Frampton playing lefty guitar in some dive bar so you can listen to it all the time. Don't be a douche.
9. Don't Play It Too Safe
Listen, I get it, it's one of your favorite songs, and it's an all time great, but not every one of your mixes needs to have four Beatles song on there. Mostly everyone knows them, and people want a mix to try to branch their own musical tastes. It's fine to have a track or two that's safe, they serve as a touchstone, but too much safe stuff and it just becomes boring.
10. Include A (Hand-Written) Note
Put down the track title and artist, and why you put the song on there. It helps if they know what they're listening to. Also, chicks dig that kinda thing, especially the hand-written thing.
11. End On An Upswing
Ideally, you want to trend up, but this is the weakest rule. If it ends on a down note, just let it happen.
12. Covers
I love them, and a quality cover can really make a good mix a great one. And by covers I mean songs, not album covers.
13. Listen
Once you finish crafting, listen to it once through, see how it sounds. If something sounds off, feel free to re-work it. Also, try to convince the person it's for not to speed through the thing. Have them listen to it's entirety if you can. A mix should be an experience, not just a list of songs and sound-bites.
Anyways, those are my rules, they usually work. But, who knows, to each their own.
I just know that I'd take a mixtape or a CD over a playlist any day. Sometimes having a physical thing makes it that much better, y'know?
