NCAA Football is single or multi-participant movie game established by EA Athletics. This game lets soccer fanatics reside their goals as soccer players in a game. But if you have found, when you order the game itself, only quantities surface for your teams. No real participant names are involved. The NCAA soccer rosters will allow players to perform with names of the players, and the announcers' voices say their names during commentary and much more, offering you a whole new gaming encounter.
How do I discover these NCAA soccer rosters downloads?
Employing the Net is the very best way to obtain downloadable NCAA soccer rosters, whether seeking for or looking into on a provider's firm. Here is how you can discover sources of NCAA soccer roster downloads.
Search engines. You can look for for NCAA soccer roster companies online. These online equipment referred to as look for engines will be incredibly handy in seeking for the very best company of loading the rosters details for your game. You can use Google.com, Yahoo.com, and MSN.com for this.
So what varieties of internet sites must you be seeking for? Here are internet sites which can be wonderful sources of roster downloads:
– Gaming Process Websites
– Athletics boards
– Gaming boards (if you are using PS3 or Xbox 360, it truly is only logical to take a look at boards catering to players using those distinct methods)
– eBay
– Roster download company internet sites
The initially three sources of downloads can support you identify one-way links to absolutely free NCAA roster downloads. If you are into undertaking your very own thing and loading files to your procedure, then, go forward. Having said that, if you'd alternatively invest in roster files, decide for the previous two options – eBay and roster company internet sites.

Then, bid for the roster. Having said that, if you will not typically invest in by eBay, you have to preserve in head that you can get effortlessly ripped off by unscrupulous sellers. So far better be careful.
Another strategy to obtain NCAA Football rosters is by getting memory cards from rosters companies. Most of these organizations offer two options for you to get the rosters for that final soccer gaming encounter.
oPurchasing memory cards. These companies sell memory cards with the built-in details.
oMail-In Support. If you however have a big space in your memory card for your game, this company is for you. You will just have to mail in your memory card to the address of the roster company to have them enter the crew rosters and ship it back again to you.

President's Message
Hello and greetings from your President, as I write this the calendar says spring but I am watching it snow here in Connecticut. This reminds me that while some things are constant (the calendar) others are always changing (the weather).
This is certainly also true in the fire marshal community and with IFMA. This June will complete my term as President and I believe by all of us (Executive Board, the IFMA Chapters and membership) working together we have tackled many of the challenges facing us and provided, along the way, valuable and useful services to our members and the public. While serving IFMA I had the opportunity to travel to some of the Chapter events including Texas, Michigan, Oregon, and the New England Chapter and meeting our membership.
For example the Executive Board sponsors a vetted speakers list, has brought forward and delivered, in Virginia and Oregon, an updated 2 day Management Institute, responded to safety concerns with food trucks and within the newly emerging marijuana industry. There has also been work on Technical Committees related to such timely topics as Community Risk Reduction and the need for our professional standards and qualifications as well as projects of the Research Foundation including a study on the use of CLT (cross laminated timber) building materials and tall wood buildings.
Also, this June will of course be the annual NFPA C&E and built around C&E will be several important IFMA activities including a meeting of the Executive Board, a Chapter Presidents Meeting, the IFMA Business Meeting and an open discussion of hot topics concerning codes and standards and other issues impacting our craft. There will also be opportunities for networking and fellowship for all members and for the leadership of the various Sections of NFPA. An important NFPA function, sometimes overlooked by the general membership, is the Technical Meeting which follows the educational sessions and the Expo. The Technical Meeting is an important part of the code adoption and code change process and participation is important.
Finally, as I conclude my service as President I want to thank everyone for their support and to remind everyone that we need to always do our best to make IFMA the best "go to entity" possible serving the needs of the fire marshal community. We can do this by staying true to our mission "…to aid in the preservation of life and property by advocating, promoting, and providing leadership in the prevention or mitigation of fire, explosions, and other related hazardous conditions."

A diverse selection of various safety and technical training courses are hosted in our Course Library. Our library continues to grow as we partner with industry leaders and subject matter experts. Some of our current offerings cover health and safety, environmental awareness, regulatory, procedural, and operational compliances. See our current course offerings here.
If you need more information about a specific course, please send us an email:
[email protected]
Our online platform is web-based and is mobile app accessible. You may use you an internet browser on a desktop/laptop, mobile device, or tablet to access our login page. As with all online platforms, an internet connection provided by an ISP or cellular network provider usually works fastest, but is not required.
We recommend using Internet Explorer. You can download the browser for free here.

Compliance Tracking
Most companies don't have the resources to dedicate to creating an instructional platform for their existing education and regulatory initiatives. It can be disruptive to divert resources away from ongoing projects that are responsible for providing company services and driving revenue. It is much simpler to contract or use a 3rd party service, but more often than not, they do not offer the specific subject material and certificates related to industrial careers. And if they do, the quality of the course is usually below average.
The dilemmas for learning professionals are the obvious time constraints placed on them. Considering the standard 9-to-5 schedule, it's difficult for directors and managers to request employees to add requirements to their workload. Our platform is always accessible, allowing employees to learn on their own time and pace.
The benefit to our corporate clients is EIA's platform and the ease of managing, uploading, and monitoring courses and student activity within them. Corporate clients can provide their material or work with us to create content for their operational needs.
EIA's platform can import existing training records into the platform's database and manage those certifications along with their renewals and expirations. This removes the need to manage and store hard copies of course materials and certifications. Nothing is lost and everything is organized.
If you are interested in learning more about our Compliance Tracking Program, send us an email at [email protected]
They will be able to use EIA to complete simple tasks including but not limited to:
- Make HR update acknowledgments
- Read-review confirmations
- HR form submissions (e.g., W-4 forms)
- Offer new hire training packages consisting of courses, forms, and feedback
The company's contents can only be viewed by pre-authorized users. Former employees and non-official employees will not have access to course materials. We can collaborate with your company to develop the best process and policy that fit with your business strategy. The best method to accommodate your needs is to work with your subject matter experts and develop content that is optimized for the platform and your users.
If you are interested in learning more about our Compliance Tracking Program, contact us at [email protected]
EIA is not an open forum; instructors are approved to publish courses to our learning platform. We have an Instructor and Course Selection Process that helps us determine if we are the ideal medium for their instruction and material. If an instructor is approved, they are given access to our platform and to new professional learning markets.
If you are an instructor and interested in finding out more about hosting your courses, contact us at [email protected]
We will work with approved instructors to bring their courses online and digitize components where applicable. Where necessary and appropriate, your course may have segments that remain as in-person instruction. We recognize that specific material is best left to in-person instruction, this aspect is taken into extensive consideration during our Selection Process. Our courses are offered in mixed eLearning formats and in-person instruction. The in-person instruction component can be scheduled and managed using our platform, as well.
A benefit to our instructors is the ability to customize their content based on their needs and on the nature of the content itself. Additionally, we have noticed that instructors appreciate the ability to have material available to learners before course sessions or deadlines. This helps both instructors and learners get more out of their time together, whether online or in-person.
If you are interested in transitioning your existing course to our platform, please contact us at [email protected]
Ongoing courses can come from various mediums. Some have been online but are searching for a more robust platform to be presented to the professionals who would benefit most from their material. Some courses are lacking multimedia, some lacking the user base. The EIA learning platform can build courses as instructors envision and help transition existing courses to be brought up to what they should be. EIA has no interest in governing content but rather providing the best medium to reach professionals in industrial careers, acting as a vehicle for career advancement.
EIA works with your subject matter expertise and experience to develop the corresponding digital assets and interactive materials used for your instruction; this may include but not be limited to: images, graphics, audio, and video elements.
If you are interested in learning more about our course material development, email us at [email protected]

Joan of Art collaboeration
I'm really excited to be connecting with Thea and Suki who are "Joan of Art". They make beautiful little painting boxes designed to be easy to take anywhere and have everything needed for quick sketching out side. The paint boxes are offered with three colours in each box. Colour triads like Neutral, Earthy, Mardi Gras. This makes for some exciting colour mixing and gives the beautiful harmony of a limited palette. I have been working with Earthy but added in an extra colour that Suki and Thea gave me which is a vibrant pink. Over the busy summer this is proving to be a great way to get out and paint without needing stacks of kit. It's also working as great was to record a location without putting too much detail in. I loved doing this at welcome bay were I also collected plastic, took a compass reading and took photos... it might be good to record the sounds of places too.

You came in to this world
with enough light to find
your way out of the dark,
enough kindness to save a soul,
enough love to shift a planet.
Don't worry, you are enquipped
with all you could ever need.
Look with in,
you are drenched in magic.

God doesn't want to meet you
Or question the defiance from the stench of your wet mouth.

My hands are patterned by ambitions,
these lines on my skin are wishes,
palms marked like the sky after a shooting star
and shining when they interlace with your fingers,
your skin's wrinkles and crinkles.
The crevices of our skin do not match or meet
the way coloured paths on a map synchronise and intercross,
reaching destinations.

There was once a man,

She was his dream,
a dream that came close with his reality.
There was once a man,
bewitched with all.
He dare not speak,
for not to ruin all.
He cared for his beloved,
as if she was the heart of it all.

This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Do not fear the light of the dying star for it will yield no pain.
It is mortal, it is ended.
Fading out like the dimming of the candle, then extinguished, forever.
No light shall ever again grace these barren lands
As dust forever billows across its scarred surface
And drinks its voluptuous seas.
Like a standing ovation,

Back in the fall I heard about the Target Field Trip Grant and being one that is always looking for an extra dollar to spend on my students, I wrote for it. I was thrilled when I heard that I was selected!! The grant covered all the expenses to take up to 50 of my students to the Fort Worth museums for the day!
So after months of anticipation, Friday was the day! We ended up only having 40 people as there was a pep rally and tests and such and some students just couldn't get away. But those of us that went, had a great time!
And it was truly a great feeling to be able to tell parents and students that they didn't have to bring a penny for this trip! The grant even covered a snack!
Our first stop was The Modern. We were divided into 4 groups and shown around. Each group saw different works of art. I like that, but wish we had had time for the students to go around after the tour and tell their friends about the pieces that they saw. But that's okay, I'd rather leave them wanting more than be bored!
After we finished at The Modern, we loaded up back on the bus and had a snack and drove the block or so to the Amon Carter Museum. Here they are waiting to go into the museum for our tour.
I love the Amon Carter Museum, but an hour just isn't long enough for a tour here when the education specialists want to engage the students in conversations about the pieces! I think I was the only one out of the 40 of us to have ever been to the Amon Carter and we didn't even see some of the best pieces. The students were a little frustrated too. It's hard to engage in thoughtful conversation about something you have never seen before. But the experience for them was wonderful and each and every student left talking about the museum and the pieces.
I love this picture!! Sorry museum people, my kids were not sophisticated enough to "get" some of the questions!! But Louise Nevelson is one of my favorite artists, so I was thrilled for my kids to see it in person!
And here they are just being the cool kids that they are!
After the museums we loaded back up and had a late lunch at Golden Corral. Thanks Fort Worth Golden Corral for making it work! They lowered the price for us so that the per diem covered the meal! Awesome!!
After the kids stuffed themselves we headed back home.
It was a great day.
I have to say, I love GRANTS! And I love that Target offers a field trip grant! It was a truly memorable day and so very good for my kids.

War is a defeat for humanity
3. In the century we are leaving behind, humanity has been sorely tried by an endless and horrifying sequence of wars, conflicts, genocides and "ethnic cleansings" which have caused unspeakable suffering: millions and millions of victims, families and countries destroyed, an ocean of refugees, misery, hunger, disease, underdevelopment and the loss of immense resources. At the root of so much suffering there lies a logic of supremacy fuelled by the desire to dominate and exploit others, by ideologies of power or totalitarian utopias, by crazed nationalisms or ancient tribal hatreds. At times brutal and systematic violence, aimed at the very extermination or enslavement of entire peoples and regions, has had to be countered by armed resistance.
The twentieth century bequeaths to us above all else a warning: wars are often the cause of further wars because they fuel deep hatreds, create situations of injustice and trample upon people's dignity and rights. Wars generally do not resolve the problems for which they are fought and therefore, in addition to causing horrendous damage, they prove ultimately futile. War is a defeat for humanity. Only in peace and through peace can respect for human dignity and its inalienable rights be guaranteed." (full text here)
Monday, 13 January 2003
"2. I have been personally struck by the feeling of fear which often dwells in the hearts of our contemporaries. An insidious terrorism capable of striking at any time and anywhere; the unresolved problem of the Middle East, with the Holy Land and Iraq; the turmoil disrupting South America, particularly Argentina, Colombia and Venzuela; the conflicts preventing numerous African countries from focusing on their development; the diseases spreading contagion and death; the grave problem of famine, especially in Africa; the irresponsible behaviour contributing to the depletion of the planet's resources: all these are so many plagues threatening the suvival of humanity, the peace of individuals and the security of societies.
3. Yet everything can change. It depends on each of us. Everyone can develop within himself his potential for faith, for honesty, for respect of others and for commitment to the service of others.
It also depends, quite obviously, on political leaders, who are called to serve the common good. You will not be surprised if before an assembly of diplomats I state in this regard certain requirements which I believe must be met if entire peoples, perhaps even humanity itself, are not to sink into the abyss.
First, a "YES TO LIFE"! Respect life itself and individual lives: everything starts here, for the most fundamental of human rights is certainly the right to life. Abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, for example, risk reducing the human person to a mere object: life and death to order, as it were! When all moral criteria are removed, scientific research involving the sources of life becomes a denial of the being and the dignity of the person. War itself is an attack on human life since it brings in its wake suffering and death. The battle for peace is always a battle for life!
Next, RESPECT FOR LAW. Life within society – particularly international life – presupposes common and inviolable principles whose goal is to guarantee the security and the freedom of individual citizens and of nations. These rules of conduct are the foundation of national and international stability. Today political leaders have at hand highly relevant texts and institutions. It is enough simply to put them into practice. The world would be totally different if people began to apply in a straightforward manner the agreements already signed!
Finally, the DUTY OF SOLIDARITY. In a world with a superabundance of information, but which paradoxically finds it so difficult to communicate and where living conditions are scandalously unequal, it is important to spare no effort to ensure that everyone feels responsible for the growth and happiness of all. Our future is at stake. An unemployed young person, a handicapped person who is marginalized, elderly people who are uncared for, countries which are captives of hunger and poverty: these situations all too often make people despair and fall prey to the temptation either of closing in on themselves or of resorting to violence.
4. This is why choices need to be made so that humanity can still have a future. Therefore, the peoples of the earth and their leaders must sometimes have the courage to say "No".
"NO TO DEATH"! That is to say, no to all that attacks the incomparable dignity of every human being, beginning with that of unborn children. If life is truly a treasure, we need to be able to preserve it and to make it bear fruit without distorting it. "No" to all that weakens the family, the basic cell of society. "No" to all that destroys in children the sense of striving, their respect for themselves and others, the sense of service.
"NO TO SELFISHNESS"! In other words, to all that impels man to protect himself inside the cocoon of a privileged social class or a cultural comfort which excludes others. The life-style of the prosperous, their patterns of consumption, must be reviewed in the light of their repercussions on other countries. Let us mention for example the problem of water resources, which the United Nations Organization has asked us all to consider during this year 2003. Selfishness is also the indifference of prosperous nations towards nations left out in the cold. All peoples are entitled to receive a fair share of the goods of this world and of the know-how of the more advanced countries. How can we fail to think here, for example, of the access of everyone to generic medicines, needed to continue the fight against current pandemics, an access — alas — often thwarted by short-term economic considerations?
"NO TO WAR"! War is not always inevitable. It is always a defeat for humanity. International law, honest dialogue, solidarity between States, the noble exercise of diplomacy: these are methods worthy of individuals and nations in resolving their differences. I say this as I think of those who still place their trust in nuclear weapons and of the all-too-numerous conflicts which continue to hold hostage our brothers and sisters in humanity. At Christmas, Bethlehem reminded us of the unresolved crisis in the Middle East, where two peoples, Israeli and Palestinian, are called to live side-by-side, equally free and sovereign, in mutual respect. Without needing to repeat what I said to you last year on this occasion, I will simply add today, faced with the constant degeneration of the crisis in the Middle East, that the solution will never be imposed by recourse to terrorism or armed conflict, as if military victories could be the solution. And what are we to say of the threat of a war which could strike the people of Iraq, the land of the Prophets, a people already sorely tried by more than twelve years of embargo? War is never just another means that one can choose to employ for settling differences between nations. As the Charter of the United Nations Organization and international law itself remind us, war cannot be decided upon, even when it is a matter of ensuring the common good, except as the very last option and in accordance with very strict conditions, without ignoring the consequences for the civilian population both during and after the military operations.

Consistent Ethic of Life. Pope John Paul II calls War a Defeat for Humanity: Neoconservative Iraq Just War Theories Rejected by Mark and Louise Zwick
The most consistent and frequent promoter of peace and human rights for the last two decades has been Pope John Paul II.
From Iraqi War I to Iraqi War II, he has echoed the voice of Paul VI, crying out before the United Nations in 1965: War No More, War Never Again!
John Paul II stated before the 2003 war that this war would be a defeat for humanity which could not be morally or legally justified.
In the weeks and months before the U.S. attacked Iraq, not only the Holy Father, but also one Cardinal and Archbishop after another at the Vatican spoke out against a "preemptive" or "preventive" strike. They declared that the just war theory could not justify such a war. Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran said that such a "war of aggression" is a crime against peace. Archbishop Renato Martino, who used the same words in calling the possible military intervention a "crime against peace that cries out vengeance before God," also criticized the pressure that the most powerful nations exerted on the less powerful ones on the U.N. Security Council to support the war. The Pope spoke out almost every day against war and in support of diplomatic efforts for peace.
John Paul II sent his personal representative, Cardinal Pio Laghi, a friend of the Bush family, to remonstrate with the U.S. President before the war began. Pio Laghi said such a war would be illegal and unjust. The message was clear: God is not on your side if you invade Iraq.
After the United States began its attacks against Iraq, FOX News actually reported the immediate comments of the Holy Father, made in an address at the Vatican to members of an Italian religious television channel, Telespace: "When war, as in these days in Iraq, threatens the fate of humanity, it is ever more urgent to proclaim, with a strong and decisive voice, that only peace is the road to follow to construct a more just and united society," John Paul said. "Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of man."
Americans were largely unaware of the depth and importance of the opposition of Church leaders to an attack on Iraq, since for the most part the mainstream media did not carry the stories. In the same way, many Americans were unaware that Pope John Paul II spoke against the first Gulf War 56 times. Media in the United States omitted this from the commentaries on the war.

Annual Thanksgiving Feast
Wednesday, 23 November was our Annual Thanksgiving Meal. Students planned the menu together earlier in the week. They spent some time cooking deserts the day before. On Wednesday, students broke into groups of either "cooks" or "set-up" where they either worked in the kitchen preparing the feast, or stayed back and worked on setting up the dinner table, prep line, and making decorations. At dinner, the feast was all laid out o the table. It was magnificent. We all shared one thing we are thankful for and then enjoyed our meal "family style" with everyone helping to serve each other. The afternoon was spent on "recovery" and gastrointestinal rest.

Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival 2015
"Lilith" by Robert Rossen lends the image of Jean Seberg to this year's edition of LEFFEST.
The moment when Lilith kisses her own image reflected in water has a great analogy with the act of artistic creation, which in itself is deeply narcissistic.
Several communication materials were developed, such as posters, billboards, mupis, flyers, invitations, catalogs, accreditations, merchandising and official website of the event.

Natalie Decker has had six Gander Outdoors Truck Series starts added to her schedule with DGR-Crosley Racing.
Decker, 21, will be sponsored by N29 Technologies in the events while driving the No. 54 Toyota Tundra. That brings her total number of events up to 17 for 2019.
The Wisconsin native will race at Dover, Kansas, Charlotte, Texas, Iowa, Gateway, Chicagoland, Kentucky, Pocono, Bristol, Las Vegas, Martinsville, ISM and Homestead-Miami.
Decker has made three starts in 2019, recording a best finish of 13th at Las Vegas.
"I'm so excited to add more races with DGR-Crosley," Decker said in a team release. "I'm very thankful for the opportunity to be with this team. David [Gilliland] does such a great job with putting the right people in the right positions, and I'm learning so much and enjoy working with Frank [Kerr, crew chief] and all my guys."
Decker is looking to improve upon her results thus far this season.
"I love competing in the Truck Series – it's challenging but so fun," she said. "I'm looking forward to continuing to learn as much as possible and putting together solid finishes. This year is all about learning and getting experience."
Team co-owner David Gilliland said the added races will give Decker needed experience.
"I think it's great that Natalie and N29 Technologies have decided to pick up more races this season," he said.

PayPal has been rolling a new user interface design for the PayPal.com website for a while now.
Over time, PayPal has been adjusting the way reporting features are provided and displayed.
This includes the display of a running balance when reviewing your PayPal activity log. It's still there, but depending on your account you may have to dig deeper than others.
If you're upset that you cannot seem to find a running balance in your PayPal account, follow these steps and it should help you find the information you need.
Important Note on Account Types
Premiere Accounts
PayPal is no longer supporting Premiere accounts. If you are not able to find a running balance anywhere in your account, it is likely because you have a PayPal Premiere account.
To fix this problem, upgrade your PayPal account to a business account. This is free, and once you have completed this step you should begin to see your running balance as expected.
Step by Step Guide
01. Click Activity in the PayPal main menu.
Do you See a Running Balance?
Check for the Balance column in the Activity log that gets displayed. If you see it, you're done! If not, move on to the next step.
02. From the All Transactions filter, select the Balance Affeecting option.
Do you See a Running Balance?
Check for the Balance column in the Activity log that gets displayed. If you see it, you're done! If not, move on to the next step.
03. On the right, under Statements, click Activity export.
04. Click Statements, and then Monthly.
05. Click the Request link for the month / format you wish to download.
This really should be your last step if the previous steps did not show you the running balance.
The monthly statements provided here are just like a bank account would provide, so you can reconcile it against your accounts exactly the same way.
If you still haven't found what you're looking for, you can move to the next steps and that might help.
Last Hopes
If you still have not been able to see your running balance, the video below may help.
This video was recorded when PayPal first started migrated acconts into the new design, and some accounts were stuck in this middle stage.
Video Overview
Need Additional Help?
Schedule a live meeting with Drew Angell, PayPal Certified Developer, and get all of your questions or concerns answered.

The Impulsiveness of US Power
Paul Craig Roberts
Washington's impulsive use of power is a danger to America and to the world. Arrogant Washington politicians and crazed neoconservatives are screaming that the US must shoot down Russian aircraft that are operating against the US-supplied forces that have brought death and destruction to Syria, unleashing millions of refugees on Europe, in Washington's effort to overthrow the Syrian government.
Even my former CSIS colleague, Zbigniew Brzezinski, normally a sensible if sometimes misguided person, has written in the Financial Times that Washington should deliver an ultimatum to Russia to "cease and desist from military actions that directly affect American assets." By "American assets," Brzezinski means the jihadist forces that Washington has sicced on Syria.http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43059.htm
Brzezinski's claim that "Russia must work with, not against, the US in Syria" is false. The fact of the matter is that "the US must work with, not against Russia in Syria," as Russia controls the situation, is in accordance with international law, and is doing the right thing.
Ash Carter, the US Secretary for War, repeats Brzezinski's demand. He declared that Washington is not prepared to cooperate with Russia's "tragically flawed" and "mistaken strategy" that frustrates Washington's illegal attempt to overthrow the Syrian government with military violence.http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2015/oct/07/ash-carter-russia-us-syria-airstrikes-video
Washington's position is that only Washington decides and that Washington intends to unleash yet more chaos on the world in the hope that it reaches Russia.
I guess no one in hubristic and arrogant Washington was listening when Putin said in his
UN speech on September 28: "We can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world."
UN speech on September 28: "We can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world."
The intolerable state of affairs is the chaos that Washington has brought to the Middle East, chaos that threatens to expand into all countries with Muslim populations, and chaos from which millions of refugees are flooding into Europe.
Not satisfied with threatening Russia with war, Washington is preparing to send US Navy ships inside the 12-nautical-mile territorial limit of islands created by China's land reclamation project. The Navy Times reports that three Pentagon officials have said on background that "approval of the mission is imminent."
So here we have the US government gratuitously and provocatively threatening two nuclear powers. The Washington warmongers try to pretend that land reclamation is "an act of regional aggression" and that Washington is just upholding international law by protecting "freedom of navigation."
By "freedom of navigation," Washington means Washington's ability to control all sea lanes.
After all of Washington's violations of international law and war crimes during the last 14 years, Washington's claim to be protecting international law is hilarious.
After all of Washington's violations of international law and war crimes during the last 14 years, Washington's claim to be protecting international law is hilarious.

Some channels can be visible on the set-top box channel list twice, due to different technology. If the channel you are watching is not visible, try another option for the same channel on the set-top box channel list.
You can check the channel packages you have ordered on the elisaviihde.fi website by entering the Maksukanavat (paid channels) section in the top menu. In the same section, you can also order new channel packages and change your current channel packages for new ones.
You can take a look at all Elisa Viihde channel packages and programme libraries on the website elisa.fi/viihde/sisallot (in Finnish).
Restart your set-top box by unplugging the power cord for about 10 seconds. Plug in the power cord again and wait for the set-top box to start. When the picture returns to the television, wait a couple of minutes and check the channel list again.
If needed, reset the default settings for the set-top box as follows:
Resetting the default settings can be done by selecting from the set-top box remote control MENU and then Asetukset (settings), Digiboksin tiedot (set-top box information), Asetusten palautus (reset settings), Palauta tehdasasetukset (reset default settings).
The difference in resetting the factory settings in comparison with other Elisa Viihde set-top boxes is that the reset is secured with a child safety lock PIN code that the user sets themselves when starting to use the set-top box.
If you have forgotten the child safety lock PIN code and you cannot reset the default settings from the menu, you can also do the reset by pressing the power button on the front side of the set-top box 5 times in a row.
When you´re trying to watch from the wrong channel slot, the screen remains black, even though the channel were a part of the channel package you have subscribed. Please check the correct channel slot on this page in the channel listings.
Elisa Viihde pay-TV channel slots are found in the IPTV channel slots, which start from the channel number 500 upwards.
Basic channels come from your apartment's local antenna and cable network, so please ensure that your set-top box has been connected to the antenna box with an antenna cable. Then perform a channel search in the set-top box menu Asetukset (settings) > TV-signaali ja laatu (TV signal and quality) > Automaattinen kanavahaku (automatic channel search) (antenna/cable)). If needed, try another antenna cable, if possible a shorter one, and perform the channel search again after connecting the new antenna cable.
If you still cannot see the channels, reset the default settings according to the instructions in section "I have ordered new pay-TV channels, why aren't they visible on my channel list?" If certain basic channels cannot be seen at all or the channels keep cutting off, you can still record the programmes from these channels and also start watching while recording.

Love Should Always Assume The Best
Lisa's thoughts…
Greg and I recently had a disagreement that stemmed from a misunderstanding of what was said and it has me meditating on people's assumptions about their spouse. Our misunderstanding got way out of hand too fast and then more damage was caused during the argument about the misunderstanding. It seems to be an instance that could have been avoided all together, but I know I played a part in propelling the argument and wounding my husband in the process.
If only a clarifying question would have been asked, I think it all could have been avoided.
I discovered that we can hear our spouse say something and then not stop to think about what they may have meant or ask further questions for clarification about what they meant. Before long, the enemy has us convinced of their guilt, malice and the injustice that was done to us, all because we fell under an assumption instead of asking a question. I was the one misunderstood in this scenario, but in the future I am going to try to remember to ask my husband questions if I feel like I am misunderstanding him or he says something I don't like.
I think we should try to assume the best of our spouse out of love for them.
I feel like the world around us, what we watch, listen to and take in, tends to help us think the worst of our spouse if they do something we question. It can become easy to take offense rather than taking the time to make sure you understand each other. In this microwave ready society where we text rather than talk, it has become increasingly easier to misunderstand each other, seeking the truth is always a great place to start before making up your mind.
Love first, ask questions second, and then come to a conclusion in love.

Octave was a Victorian magician.
He was put through a mistuned temporal interferometry machine, which splintered him into eight fragments with one personality. Octave used this condition as the basis of his magic act. When the Eighth Doctor tried to find out more about the machine, Octave felt threatened and dropped a sandbag on his chest. Elizabeth Kelly saved the Doctor unintentionally by giving CPR to Sabbath, who was connected to the Time Lord by having his second heart in his chest. After reviving Sabbath, she killed one of the Octave fragments, which caused the rest to die as well. (PROSE: Camera Obscura)
Behind the scenes Edit
Octave's condition was similar to Scaroth's in the television story City of Death, except all Octave's fragments existed in the same time period.

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper
and complained that it made no sense to go to church every
Sunday. I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I
have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me I can't remember a
single one of them. So I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting
theirs by giving sermons at all." This started a real controversy in the
"Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor.
It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now.
In that time my
wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I
cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.
But I do know
this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work.
If my wife had not given me those meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be
spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to
nothing . . . . God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and
receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

Students between the ages of three and 21 with disability-based IEPs may be eligible for Extended School Year (ESY) services through the Special Education Department. This decision is made by the IEP team.
Most students who attend ESY work on maintaining skills that they have developed during the school year. When considering eligibility for ESY services, the IEP team must consider data that indicates the student would lose skills that could not be regained within a reasonable time period upon returning to school without the provision of extended services.
Extended School Year services are typically provided in conjunction with the summer school program offered by LPS. The service each student receives is individualized and is based on IEP goals that have been attained during the regular school calendar.
When will the decision be made regarding eligibility for ESY services?
ESY is an IEP team decision, the team discusses the student's eligibility for ESY and reaches a decision about the services. The IEP team may defer the decision until spring. IEP teams are encouraged to make decisions by mid April so that the district can most effectively plan for staffing, space, and materials for ESY.
How will I know if my student qualifies?
Parents are mandatory members of the IEP team and must have meaningful input into this discussion. The team cannot make this determination without parent or guardian input.
What if I do not want my child to attend ESY?
As a parent, you have the right to refuse services.
What if I want a summer experience that will increase skills rather than just maintain skills?
The purpose of ESY as delineated in IDEA is to maintain already mastered skills. Some parents choose to enroll their students in more traditional summer school programs or enrichment types of programs in the community.
Where are ESY services located?
Students who are eligible for ESY services attend designated building sites within the district.
Who can I contact with questions?
If you have any other questions about ESY services, please contact your student's special education teacher. Additional questions may be directed to the Special Education Department at 816-736-5300.

Forgrave: LeBron Will Go To Lakers
The Rockets are in the running for James, but the Lakers might be his best option, Reid Forgrave says
Part three of the LeBron James sweepstakes has officially begun, and everyone in the NBA keeps asking the same question: Where is the four-time MVP going to land? This is the multi-million-dollar question that will highlight the remainder of the offseason.
CBS Sports NBA writer and columnist Reid Forgrave dropped by CBS Sports Radio to give his two cents on the matter.
"I think it's the L.A. Lakers," Forgrave told Bill Reiter on Reiter Than You.
That's not a bad guess. Lakers president Magic Johnson has spent a large portion of his short tenure clearing room to sign notable free agents this offseason. He is projected to have the most cap space in the league this summer – enough to potentially sign two max-level contracts, with James potentially being one of them.
Along with James, the Lakers may also have their eyes set on adding Paul George, with the hopes that both All-Stars can complement a young yet talented roster that includes Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma.
Forgrave thinks the move to Hollywood makes perfect sense for both James and Paul.
"They have so much cap room," Forgrave said. "The idea of Paul George and LeBron James on the same team that already has a nice young nucleus – I don't know if they are sure things by adding those two guys, but I think it might be something close to that."
Another potential suitor for James's services is the Western Conference runner-up, the Houston Rockets. Although many NBA fans are clamoring for James to join forces with Chris Paul and James Harden, Forgrave feels there are too many hurdles to jump for this to be a viable possibility.
"I know all of these people that keep talking about the Rockets," Forgrave said. "It seems that they need to tear down their entire team if they are going to add LeBron James. Look — Chris Paul, LeBron, and James Harden on the same roster is ridiculous, and if Daryl Morey gets the chance to do that, he should do that. You can't say 'no' to having LeBron."
No matter what happens, LeBron's third installment of the "decision" will be as highly touted as the previous two iterations — maybe even more.
