TO SPEND MONEY ON DEVELOPMENT OF LAND NEW YORK.—The Jews of tlie world will be called upon to contribute ifo.OOO, 000 this year to the Keren Hayesod for the agricultural, industrial, public health and educational development of thc Jew¬ ish Homeland in Palestine, Samuel Un¬ termyer, president of the American branch of the fund announced today. Of this sum, American Jewry is < pected to advance $3,O0Op,000 during the year, Mr. Untermyer stated, iti order that the provisions of the new Palestine budget adopted at thc World Zionist Congress in Vienna can be carried and thc economic development of the country can keep pace with the ever- increasing influx of Jewish settlers. During the four and one-half years of its existence, thc Keren Hayesod has ' invested $8,<M<i,7.'iOi in constructive ac¬ tivities in Palestine, sixty per cent of this sum having been contributed by American Jews, the balance coming from Jews in fifty-two countries throughout the world. Mr. Untermyer emphasized that the greatly increased Palestine budg adopted at Vienna and the necessity for increased agricultural colonization and ¦ industrial development in view of the big immigration, placed added respon¬ sibilities and severe obligations upon American Jewry. I "Ju.st as the budget calls for expend- ¦ itures one-third greater than last year, so must American Jews give at least one-third more this year, in order that •the budget can be carried out and our work in Palestine maintained and ex¬ tended," he declared. "The annual bud¬ get for the regular colonization pro¬ gram of the Keren Hayesod was fixed at $3,000,000 at the Congress criase' 6f Dne-tWrd over' thc previous budget. This increase, was necessitated by the tremendous growth in Jewish ii migration to Palestine during the- past year, which is now averaging over 3,00C monthly.

No Anti-Semitism in Italy, Declares Dr. Adler PHILADELPHIA, (J. T. A.)—There is a complete absence of anti-Jewish prejudice in Italy, declared Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of Dropsie College of Philadelphia and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, to the correspond¬ ent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency upon his return from a two months' stay in Italy. No social exclusion is practiced against the Jew in that country. The Jewish l.-iwyer, the Jewish physician and the Jewish merchant all enjoy the same social equality as the non-Jews. Dr. Adler is, however, seriously cerned over the lack of candidates for the rabbinate in Italy. The young Jews if Italy are not attracted to it, with the result that the Jews of that coun¬ try are facing a dearth of leadership. This, Dr. Adler declared, should re- the serious attention of the Italian Jews. Dr. Adler was particularly im¬ pressed with the beautiful synagogues the fine schools in Italy. "There is room for Jewish scientific research Ituly. ..There is an enormous amount material which would yield an abun¬ dance of data of the greatest value to the Jewish student," Dr. Adler stated". There is a great deal to do in that direc- id he expressed the hope that ¦Jewish situdents would ta|ke Ito that Dr. Adler explained that he had not gone abroad for the purpose of in¬ vestigation or research. He did not of. the countries where Jews are.to be found in large numbers and, therefore, did not meet any phase of the problem which the Joint Distribu¬ tion Committee is endeavoring to solve. In a general way, Dr. Adler declared, he is familiar with the Russian coloniza¬ tion- plan, but he has not discussed the matter with any of thc J. D. C. leaders. When told of the opposition to the plan on the ground of the attitude of the Soviet government towards the Jew¬ ish religion. Dr. Adler declared that while he was familiar with that phase of the problem he had faith in the sur¬ vival of the Jewish religion. Dr. Adler endorsed the efforts of the United Synagogue of America to erect synagogue and community center in Jerusalem. He stated that the faculty of the Dropsie College is now complete and the library has been considerably en¬ larged, making it one of the largest Jewish scientific libraries in the world. The problem df the Jewish college student is the problem of absorbing Ihe positive benclits which a college career has to ofier without at thc same time falling victim to its negative infiuenccs, — I mean negative in the effect upon the Jewish attitudes. There is the danger lest in becoming humanized, the college student become dcjudaizcd, lest in growing broad-minded, he grow shallow- spirited, lest in acquiring the arts and cultures of other civilizations, he for¬ sake his own. The problem of the Jew at college is the problem of retaining thc Jewish im¬ pulse while attaining the humanitarian o,utlook. The menace to the Jew at college lies in the circumstance that usually there.is not an adjustment but an absorption in which the Jewish clement instead 0,16being adjusted, is altogether swallowed up. That is why thc problem of Hih jPew at college is a problem of survival in which the JewLsh Will to Live is the.greatest single factor. SAFETY 1^ NUMBERS Of course, I refer not to the colleges where, as in the case of the City College of New York, there is safety in numbers,—-but rather to thc njnety-nine other cases where the' Jew plays his usual role of small minority. In those institutions, the Jewish student body, small as it may be, usually'divides itself along two definitely demarcated lines. First, there is thc type of student who is itching" to be mistaken for a Gentile. To tbat end, he tries to "jump out of his skin." His self-respect is so far gone that no insult to the Jew arouses any resentment in him, and no achievement of the Jewish people enthuses him. ¦ Of that type of Jewish student is disgusting to Jew and Gentile alike. On the other hand, there is thc type of Jewisli student who is keenly sensitive, keenly re, and keenly resentful of the social and of the occasional academic dis- ination from which he suffers. • It is this class which provides- the great bulk of the membership in Jewish fraternities afid in other kinds of Jewish college organizations. As one looks back upon the growth and development of these Jewish associations,'one can see how, in their origin, they served usually ,as a refuge for the homeless, — that is, for those who are not made to feel,at home in the other college circles. It was not a positive force but rather the feeling of common disappointment which served as tho common bond. Whereas there tl Jewish consciousness it was usually of a kind which was impressed from without as a result of discri-mination suffered rather than expressed from within. Whereas there was some heat and fervor, it was usually the heat resulting from friction and not from spontaneous combustion. There was no positive motivation. Only in recent years has there been a noticeable change in the direction of a mere positive character in Jewish college circles. Gradually thc bond of common en¬ thusiasm has supplanted • the bond of common disappointment. It is in this direction that much ought to be done in the development of a more positive at¬ titude on the part of the Jewish college student. Succoth Celebration At Community House ic opening -.social of thc Scb(Jiithal Comnuniity Mouse will be a Succoth Dance to be held Sunday night, October ¦1. from 8;M0 to W-.'W. Up-to-date music has been secured for the occasion and novel favors will be distributed during thc course of the evening. "A Welcome Home" — in order that friends new and old may meet, Schonthal Community House, .55.5 E. Rich Street. Orthodox Jewry to Meet > at New York Convention CONTENT AND CONTACT It is a question of cultivating first —Jewish content, and second — Jewish There is a type of intellectuals among the Jewish college youth whose hobby is the pursuit of the exotic. They are on a mad hunt for "atmosphere" as they call it. Spanish atmosphere, Russian f^j.'sosphere, Japanese atmosphere — anybody and anything which bears a foreign name, a weird costume and exotic gestures, receives acclaim. Yet, Jewish atmosphere seems to have no appeal for them. It might be suggested to those intellectual "atinosphere hunters" that they begin their quest by cultivating their own clement, and imbiding the atmosphere of their own traditions. To many of our intelligent youth the Jewish dance, is typified by the "Kazatske", and Jewish song and wit arc represented by the cheap vaude- villian. They ought to be informed tbat there is a Jewish art which is legitimate and unique, that there is a Jewish song, a Jewish drama, a Jewish literature. The treasure house of Jewish culture is open to any who seek admission to it. It is a challenge and responsibility for those who feel a concern for the probleip of the Jewish college student to make available these sources of Jewish life and lore for the sake of enriching the Jewisli contact of our collegians. Of greater import even than the question of Jewish content is the question of Jewish contact. It must be admitted that the Menorah organizations have done much in providing for the former need, but vei-y little organized effort has been exerted to promote Jewish contacts among college students. - Merely to (Concluded on page 4) Congregation Agudath Achim DR.

Bloch Pub¬ lishing Company One of the most effective factors in the cohesion of parties, nations and races is outside pressure. Inner dis¬ sension and factional strife disappear at the warning of danger from without. At the Zionist Congress, held in Vienna, this axiom was splendidly demonstrated. Before the convention there were two parties within Zionist ranks, bitterly op¬ posing the tactics of each other. Some declared that Weizmann was t'he only hope for the salvation of Zionism, others declared that Weizmann, because of his waning prestige with the British, unsuited for Jewish leadership, It needed only the baitings and assaults of the Hakenkreuzlcr to unite all the dele¬ gates attendant upon the iixternational Zionist assembly. There was no question of who should lead, or who should be subject. Jews were in danger — Jews American Jev/ry has benefited im¬ mensely from anti-Semitism in the United States, if one Is to evaluate mat¬ ters properly. Tbe onslaughts of Henry Ford and the Ku Klux Klan served to unify and harmonize parties within Juda- Uurton Heiidrick and the Protocols of Zion served to remind Jews with dif¬ ferences that these disagreements were picayunish affairs; and that a common rause was the heritage of all Jews. Jews began to feel strong enough to be dis¬ satisfied vvitl) apologetics; Maurice Sam¬ uel even issued a polemi?, against "You Gentiles." Now that the Ku Klux Klan has abated its activities, and Herman Bern¬ stein has prospered, comparatively, in his suit against Henry Ford, and the passions of active, anti-Semitic propa¬ ganda have subsided somewhat, Rabbi Lee J. Levinger has made a splendid itudy of thq history and causes of preju¬ dice against the Jew, in a book called "Anti-Semitism in the United States." It is fitting that the only Jewish publish¬ ing house, in America, the Bloch Pub¬ lishing company, should put primatur upon such a valuable Jewish book. In the introduction to his Book, Mr, Levinger gives a historical resume of modern anti-iSemitism, as a preface to the appreciation of anti-Semitism as it developed in America. Declaring only anti-Judaism- existed America up until thc World War, Rabbi Levinger points out that literary, politi- :al, and economic anti-Semitism in th« United States was a product of the period iter the World War. He divides dences of thc existence of active ; Semitism into four phases. He singles the attempts to limit the percentage of Jews in American universities and perhaps the most harmful mark of anti-Jewish feeling. The explanation f the American "nunjerous clausus" is n example of the lucidity of Rabbi Lcv¬ ingcr's style and content: "In Ameri¬ can institutions of higher learning there has been a growing problem of the crease of entering classes, as well as a growing perplexity at the number oi Jewish immigrants who seek an ad¬ vanced education. These young people often lack American manners and back¬ ground, standing out from the great mass of the student body, whether for good or bad is immaterial. What more natural than that some would attempt to sqlve (Concluded on page 4) NEW YORK. (J. T. A.)—Fifteen hundred orthodox Jewish congregations in all states of thc Union and Canada, with a membership o fno less than 37'!>- 000, were asked to send delegates 27th annual convention of the Union f Orthodox Jewish Congregations of .America, in a call issued by Rabbi Her¬ bert S. Goldstein, presjdent of the Union. The Union of Orthodox Jewish Con¬ gregations, which, was established in 18.08 and now has 200 affiliated congre¬ gations, with a membership of nearly ir,n,f)0O, is tbe second oldest American Jewish religious organization. The con¬ ference which will take place in' New York, and will last thircc days—from October 24 to October ,20—will discuss number of problems affecting the life of Orthodox Jewry both in A-merica and in Europe and Palestine. Several of the outstanding features of the conference will be the discussion of the problem of Jewish colonization work in Soviet Russia for the purpose of which a campaign for $15,000,000 has recently been launched by thc Joint Dis¬ tribution Committee, Jewijh education in the United States and the maintenance of higher Talmudical academies in Europe and Palestine, nad the "Jewish¬ ness" of our commanal institutions. V particularly interesting discussion expected to develop in connection with the Jewish colonization plat Soviet Russia. Leaders of the Union, of Orthodox Jewish Congrcgatio^>: that the religious life of the new settlei-s be safeguarded and the Kehillahs must be.allowed to function-^which has until recently been prohibited by the Soviet authorities. Of the American Jewish questions that will come up before the convention are, the State legislation concerning the sale of kosher meat and the steps, necessary for the enforcement of this law, the observance of Sabbath as it may be facilitated by a iive-day industrial Sephardic and Askenazic elements American Jewry will join in their efforts to revitalize Orthodox Jewry in America ¦ at the convention. This was emphasized in the forming of the Con¬ vention Committee which includes . rep¬ resentatives -of both types of congre¬ gations. Thc Convention Committee, which is headed by Dr. David de Sola Pool 'of the Spanish Portuguese Syna¬ gogue, New York City, consists of Henry B.iyer, Rabbi Dr. Bernard Drach¬ man, Morris Engclman, Leonard Fried¬ man, Rabbi H. S. Goldstein, S. H. Hof- stadter. Rabbi Dr. Leo Jung, Kassel Lewis, Mortimer M. Menken, Capti N. 'i;aylor Phillips, Louis Simon and Albert Wald. The first president of the Union Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, when it was formed June 8, 1898, was Rev. Dr. H; Pereira Mendes, The-officers and Executive Committee of the Union are as follows: Rabbi Herbert S, Goldstein, president; Rev. Dr. H. Pereira Mendes, Rev. Dr. Ber¬ nard Drachman and Julius J,' Dukas, honorary presidents; Rabbi M. S, Mar- Feast of Tabernacles To Be Celebrated By Jews Throughout World Holiday Commences Friday Eve¬ ning, the 2nd of October, and Lasts An Entire Week. LAST DAY IS CALLED SIMHATH TORAH, THE REJOICING OVER THE LAW Only five days after the great and solemn Dijy of Atonement comes the joyous Festival of Succoth or Taber¬ nacles, The Synagog will observe, the Festival commencing with Friday night, tbe 2nd of October, and lasting a week. During this week every Jew who ob¬ serves the old tradition will ^ take his meals in little tabernacles or booths that have been erected in the yard, in accordance with the com¬ mand : "Ye shall dwell in booths seven days, that your ' generations may know that I made the thildren of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought theip out of the land of Egypt." (Lev. 2;M2). The festival is therefore reminiscent of the Wilderness and of the divine watch- ¦ fulness over Isrdel during the perilous period of its wanderings. It has also' the significance of a har¬ vest festival, for it was celebrated in ancient times in the season of the in¬ gathering pf the produce of the field, therefore also called "the Feast of Ingathering." At this time tlie Jew bidden to take on the first day of the festival "the fruit of the goodly tree, b'ranches of palm trees, and boughs of thick-leaved trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord, your God, seven days." (Lev. 23-40) The traditional Jew makes a blessing over these offerings every day during the festival while in many modern synagogs the first night of the festival has been turned into a harvest or thanks¬ giving service when, under a symbolic representation of a booth over the pul¬ pit, the children of the congregation bring offerings- of field and forest to the accompaniment "of a ritual of song and praise. Tbe last-day.of the Festival is called" Sinihath Torah,—the Rejoicing Over the Law. It marks the conclusion of the reading of the Pentateuch, which, in separate portions on every Sabbath, is read in its entirety evrey year. To the Jew the Torah or the Law is eternal. It has no beginning and no end, There- sooner are last verses of the 'ast book of the Pentateuch read in the synagog than immediately thereafter the ies of th6 first book are also read, making the process without be¬ ginning or end from year to year and from century to century. At this time there is great rejoicing in the orthodox synagog. There are many processions around the pulpit, participated in by tbe entire congregation, and preceded by the Scroll of the Law, and accom¬ panied by the chanting of hymns and hosannas. Thus closes the cycle of holy days ex¬ tending over a period of two weeks, be¬ ginning with a day of fate, the solemn Rosh 'Hasbanah or New Year, and end- 1 a day of rejoicing, the Re¬ joicing Over the Law.

Mt. Airy's own, The Gin Canaries play hot jazz from the 1920s-1940s era. Together for almost four years, they have developed a local following from their performances every fourth Sunday at Earth Bread + Brewery in Mt. Airy. Each member plays several instruments, and they dress up in the vintage threads of the era.
"We've all loved the music from that era for a very long time; every one of us," said David Graves, the band's pianist and accordion player, in an interview last week. "I think it was the love of the music that came first; than we found each other, and it was a common interest."
The band members' backgrounds are quite varied: classically trained, self-taught, etc. Vocalist Christa Hackenberg has a genre-jumping voice that is just as at home in a packed club in Tokyo as it is in a smoky dive bar in Philadelphia. But her true love is the sexy, romantic, gritty sounds of the jazz age. Her swing dance teacher, Paul Salter, was also a musician, so she jumped at the chance to try her wings when he suggested that they play around with a few of his music buddies and see what happens. Several weeks later, each "Canary" fell beak over wing in love with this songbird, and the Gin Canaries were formed. When she's not in chanteuse mode, Christa can be spotted nesting in her Mt. Airy residence, shopping for bargains and sipping red wine at a local watering hole.
Speaking of Paul Salter, he fell out of a nest of deafening electric savages onto a dance floor where he learned how to hold a girl and find the beat with his feet in a crowd dancing to hot jazz. While being marinated in this swirl of swinging bodies, he learned enough songs and met enough talented souls to play music for the natives he was dancing with. He started out hammering away on the archtop guitar struggling to be heard among blasting trumpets and tubas, and then he moved on to the singing reeds of saxophones and clarinet. He's been running around dance floors hollering and swinging guitars and horns ever since.
David Graves, another "Canary," was born blind near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa. Overcoming opposition from his clergyman father, he became a professional pianist at 15, working in cabarets and theaters.
The last "Canary," Louis Marchesani began playing the guitar when he was 12 years old by taking lessons at Krill's Music Store on 69th Street in Upper Darby. Eventually he joined Greater Overbrook String Band (playing the upright bass), where he befriended some serious jazz musicians and began to study at the Al Standoli Studio at 20th and Porter in South Philly. Taking a break from music after college to concentrate on his career and raising a family, Louis jumped back into music at 50 years old. Placing an ad on Craig's List — "old guitar player looking to play old music" — Louis was contacted by four bands. Now he's a member of the Gin Canaries playing hot jazz (playing guitar, banjo and drums), plus he plays banjo for the Original Trilby String Band. (Once a Mummer, always a Mummer!)
(In addition to their music, the "Canaries" also have day jobs. Christa runs her own graphic design firm. Paul is a local attorney. Louis works in sales for ComputerAid in Wilmington, and David works for Business Technology LLC, a provider of outsourced computer services.)
A Gin Canaries' performance is an eclectic one that also features occasional vocals from Paul and a mid-set crowd-pleasing moment that has Louis, Paul and David walking through the crowd playing the banjo, clarinet and accordion, respectively. Christa, with her exceptional vocal range, is considered the headliner of the band. She insists that she does not try to sound like the female singers of the '20s and '30s but that she just tries to "have fun with the crowd."
"She's the one that people love to listen too," insisted David.
The Gin Canaries primarily play notable covers including "Ain't Misbehavin" by Fats Waller, "I'm Confessin'," made famous by Louis Armstrong, and "Me, Myself, and I" which was recorded by Billie Holiday and Benny Goodman, among others. In addition to Earth Bread + Brewery, the band has played at the Blue Comet in Glenside, Philadelphia History Museum, the Seaport Museum, Battleship New Jersey, Saloon Restaurant, even the Barnes Foundation. They have played often at weddings and even at funerals.
"When people enjoy what you're doing it's extremely rewarding, even if there's only one or two people who appreciate the music," said David.
Christa came up with the band's unique name "out of the blue," according to David. "The reason we liked it was because it was reminiscent of Prohibition and the early 20th century." David, Paul and Louis are all from the Philadelphia or the surrounding suburbs. Christa grew up outside of Baltimore and later moved to New York to perform in a band. She moved to Philadelphia to study graphic design at the Art Institute of Philadelphia. David attended the University of Pennsylvania. The Gin Canaries' next performance will be at the Saloon Restaurant, 750 S 7th St., on Saturday, April 12, 7 p.m. to midnight.

Writing Javascript unit test cases
We are using JS Test Driver for Javascript unit testing. Here are steps to write your own test cases.
- Test cases can be declared in .js files under your project. We're still working on best practices on where to put your tests but for now a simple approach is to create a folder co-located with your regular code under your project like this:
- A .js file can declare as many test cases as you want but declaring one test case per file will be the best practice.
- The test case declaration is as below. You will declare all the tests as functions. For more details refer to the JsTestDriver wiki here.
MyTestCase = TestCase("MyTestCase");
MyTestCase.prototype.testA = function(){};
- There is a list of default assertions for JsTestDriver. Refer here to use them in your testcases.
Test configuration
In order for JsTestDriver to run the test cases, you should:
- Create a file called jsTestDriver.conf directly under your project root folder.
- The content of the conf file is something like below. Refer to here for details.
server: http://localhost:8082
- web/js/*.js
- web/js-tests/*.js
Running test cases
There are currently two options and there will be one more in the future, to run the test cases you've written.
Running from daily build automatically
- Once you've done the steps on test case and configuraion, Orion Build will do a search for all jsTestDriver.conf files in all client projects and run js unit test on each .conf file.
- The result will be reported as an HTML table on the daily build page as below. Also refer to here as a sample.
Running locally from Eclipse plugin
You can also run your test cases from the JsTestDriver Eclipse plugin.
Refer to here for details on the plugin installation and usage. Here are some points you want to pay attention after you install the plugin.
- Put options properly in the Eclipse preferences ,especially telling the jsTestDriver server where your browser is.
- Run server locally.
- Capture browser before run test.
- Run test from run configuration on your project.
Running from Orion (future, under development)
As planned, there will be capability from Orion to run the unit tests as part of the self hosting functionality. Although not finalized yet, here is an early UI prototype.

Salvation is what we celebrate when we take the bread and the cup. Salvation is another word for deliverance--deliverance from a false god, deliverance from Satan the god of this age, deliverance from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's dear Son. We who come to the foot of the cross to thank God for what Christ has done are celebrating the fact that we have been delivered, we are no longer under the dominion of Satan, no longer under the dominion of demons, no longer under the dominion of sin, but we are under the dominion of God through Christ.
The greatest illustration of God's delivering power in the Old Testament is found in the book of Exodus. And I would like you to go there with me, the book of Exodus.
There's no question that the Jews believed that God was a delivering God. In Exodus 15:2 it says, "The Lord is my strength and song, He has become my salvation." That in the Song of Moses was looking back at the very events that I'm going to show you in the Scripture. God was a delivering God. God was a saving God. And God had never made it more clear than He made it when He delivered the children of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt. Back in chapter 5 Moses and Aaron in verses 1 and 2 came to Pharaoh and they said, "Thus says the Lord the God of Israel, Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness."
The point is this, Egypt was filled with false deities. There was a plethora of gods almost uncountable. The children of Israel had been made subject to a culture and a society in which the worship of these false gods was absolutely dominant and God was saying...I want you out from under that influence of all the false deities and I want you to worship Me.
But Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and besides, I'll not let Israel go." He thought he knew a lot of deities but the Lord wasn't one of them. He said, "Who is He that I should obey His voice? Who is He that He should tell me what to do?"
And so, Pharaoh said no. And so now you had a massive conflict about to take place between Jehovah God and the gods of Egypt and God is about to put on an awesome display in which He will deliver His people. And He tells Moses something of what He is going to do. Chapter 6 verse 1, He says to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh." Not only will he let them go, he'll drive them out by the time I get down with him. "I am the Lord, I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I did not make Myself known to them." In other words, they have known Me as God but they haven't seen the display of My sovereign power and My redeeming power to the degree they're going to see it now. Lord is the saving name, Yahweh. They're about to see My redemptive power. They're about to see Me destroy the gods of Egypt.
Egypt, by the way, was a formidable nation at that time. Fragments of splendorous temples still stand today as testimony to the greatness, the glory, the splendor of Egypt. The multitude of shrines and inscriptions and religious artifacts are a reminder that frankly nothing in Egypt was secular. Everything was associated with the worship of some deity or another. So, it was God against the gods of Egypt. They were literally idolatrous in every element of life. They had myriads of gods. One ancient writer wrote, "There will come a time when it will be seen that in vain have the Egyptians honored the deity with heartfelt piety and assiduous service and all our holy worship will be found bootless and ineffectual. O Egypt, Egypt, of thy religion nothing will remain but an empty tale which thine own children in time to come will not believe, nothing will be left but graven words and only the stones will tell of thy piety." He was right. The bankruptcy of their religion, the impotency of their demon gods became manifest.
In chapter 7, then, God moves to bring His power down. And you have the very familiar series of plagues in which God does this. In chapter 7 verses 14 to 21 is the first plague, and we're only going to sort of lightly touch on these. Chapter 7 verse 14 says that Pharaoh's heart was stubborn and he wouldn't let the people go. "Go to Pharaoh in the morning as he's going out to the water and station yourself to meet him on the bank of the Nile and take in your hand the staff that was turned into a serpent. And you'll say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews sent me to you saying, Let My people go that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now. Thus says the Lord, By this you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I'll strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, it will turn to blood; and the fish that are in the Nile will die and the Nile will die, and the Nile will become foul and the Egyptians will find difficulty in drinking water from the Nile. Then the Lord said to Moses, Take your staff, stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, over their pools, over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone," even when they've taken it into the houses.
"So Moses and Aaron did even as the Lord had commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of the servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. And the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile and the blood was through all the land of Egypt."
Now from earliest times to the present day the heartbeat of Egypt has been the flow of the river Nile. Hardly any country in ancient times was as dependent on this waterway. It was strategic to agriculture, its annual rise and flood provided new deposits of fertile soil as well as water for all the surrounding fields. In its lowest point in May it began to rise in June, main flood waters came in July and August. Were it not for this inundation, Egypt would be as desolate as the rest of the desert around it.
The Egyptians recognized this and wrote hymns to the Nile. All kinds of gods were associated with the very god of the river, gods of fertility, gods of blessing, gods of happiness. So God took on Egypt at its very heart. Pharaoh, going down to the river for some religious idolatrous sacred rite, Moses meets him there and confronts him and tells him basically what's going to happen.
Remember now, the Nile was sacred. Many gods were associated with it. The great god Khnum was the guardian of the source of the Nile. Hapi was the spirit of the Nile or its dynamic essence. One of the greatest Egyptian gods was Osiris who was god of the underworld and Egyptians believed the Nile was the bloodstream of Osiris. How appropriate the Lord should turn it to blood as it he had been slaughtered. Fish died. The river stank, became useless. Significant because in the hymn to the Nile which the Egyptians sang they said, "The bringer of food rich in provisions, creator of all good, lord of majesty, sweet of fragrance." You can imagine the horror as not only their river but their gods were being destroyed. Crocodiles were forced, of course, to leave the river. Hapi was manifest as a crocodile god so the people saw that Hapi had been defeated by the God of the Israelites. Crocodiles, by the way, were even mummified as sacred. So this had tremendous religious implications.
Meith(?) the eloquent warlike goddess took special care of the latese(?), the Nile's largest fish, and here her power had been broken as the fish died. Hathor protected the smaller fish, they died showing God's power over that deity. The whole thing revealed the impotence of their gods and the power of the true God. Magicians of Egypt tried to counterfeit this but God was more powerful than they. Chapter 8, we find the second of the plagues. "The Lord said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh and say, Let My people go. If you refuse to let them go, I'll smite your whole territory with frogs." Now it's not unusual to have frogs. Frogs are common in marshlands. They're are many artifacts that you can see when you go to Egypt even today, as I have done, and they will be in the form of frogs. Frogs represented the faithfulness of the gods, blessing, the assurance of harvest because they meant the soil was still wet and the frogs could survive. The receding water when the river went back to its banks left pools all over and in those pools frogs were bred. They could be heard all over the area in the evenings, sweet music to the farmers because they indicated that the Nile had made the land fertile again. They deified the frog and made a theophany of the goddess Hect(?) or frog. She was the wife of Khnum and it was a symbol of fertility and resurrection. Hect was one of the eight what they call primeval gods, four male frog-headed gods and four serpent-headed goddesses who personified the water. Frog then was a sacred animal, could not be intentionally killed and even their involuntary slaughter, get this, was punished with death.
So the presence of frogs was normally acceptable, pleasant and even religious. But this isn't normal. Verse 3, "The Nile will swarm with frogs which will come up and go into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and on to the people and into your ovens and into kneading bowls." Frog stew, frog bread, frog everything. "Frogs are going to come up on you and all your people and all your servants." This is supernatural frogging, like a blanket of filth, the slimy monstrosities covered the land until men sickened at the continued squashing crunch of the ghastly pavement they were forced to walk on. If a man's foot slipped on the greasy mass of their crushed bodies, he fell into an indescribably offense mass of putrid uncleanness. And when he sought water to cleanse himself, the water was so solid with frogs he couldn't get clean. One writer said, "Small green peepers, no larger than locusts, distended toads, the color of excrement modeled frogs like bloated vegetation. Frogs that were humps of bronze, frogs with eyes of unblinking demons, frogs subtler than salamanders, frogs motionless, frogs that leaped into the laps of screaming children, wart-breeding frogs, frogs like droppings of mud, frogs trailing their slime after them, flying frogs that built nests in high reeds, frogs that died and breed death." Once again the sacred Nile was the source of pollution...a little old fashioned but you get the picture. Frogs everywhere. And this was a blow to the frog-goddess who had been overpowered, run amuck.
Then in chapter 8 verse 16, the third plague, gnats. "The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth that it may become gnats." That's absolutely astounding. Literally this is mosquitoes. They're made out of the dust, for every particle of dust all of a sudden you get a mosquito. "Aaron stretched out his hand, struck the dust of the earth and there were gnats, or mosquitoes, on man and beast," lice some translations indicate. Whatever they were they were some kind of irritating tiny little bug. All the dust of the earth became gnats. That's a lot of gnats. Gnats everywhere. We're not sure exactly what this attacked but there were gods of the soil, there were gods of the earth and there were priests who bathed all day and shaved their bodies to stay pure and now they were all polluted with these gnats that were everywhere. The power of God was again victorious over the gods of Egypt.
Then in chapter 8 verse 20 you see the fourth plague, flies. Let's go at it again, God says, he hasn't gotten the message. "Rise early in the morning, present yourself before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water and say to him, Thus says the Lord, let My people go that they may serve Me. If you will not let My people go, I'll send swarms of insects on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of insects and also the ground on which they dwell." I'm going to just fill this place with insects...blood-sucking, what are called gadflies, or dog flies. They were hated, they were responsible for a great deal of blindness in the land of Egypt. They were manifestations, the Egyptians thought, of the god Uatchit...U a t c h i t. This god somehow was represented in these flies. They were offensive. They were burdensome. In massive numbers the intensity of them could cause all kinds of illness, disease, blindness and etc. And whatever god was associated with them was shown to be weak.
Then in chapter 9 you have the death of animals. Again the confrontation, "The Lord said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh and tell him, Either let My people go or I'm going to come at you for a fifth time. I'm going to bring...verse 3...a severe pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on horses, donkeys, camels, herds, flocks." Now this is going to devastate their whole livelihood. "And the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel."
They made the demand and Pharaoh would not let the people go. Like in India, cattle were sacred, even horses were sacred. There was the worship of Apis. If you go to the land of Egypt, and I have done that, and you go down into some of the sacred tombs, you will if you have the time find some of the sacred tombs of the bulls. They were sacred to the god called Ptah. One huge temple has 64 large burial chambers. In each is a huge sarcophagus, 12x9x6, weighing 60 tons. In each of those a sacred bull was buried. Hathor the goddess of love and beauty was represented as a cow. Mnevis...I don't know why...Mnevis, another god, was a sacred bull. So again it was an all-out war on the idolatry of Egypt.
Then in chapter 9 verse 8, the sixth plague. It tells us in verse 8, the Lord said the same thing, "Take for yourselves handfuls of soot from a kiln and let Moses throw it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh," confront him again. "It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt and it will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt. They took soot from a kiln, stood before Pharaoh, threw it in the sky, became boils breaking out with sores." Here are these terrible boils, it comes out of the dust, out of the soot, turns into dust, turns into boils. Sekhmet, a lion-headed goddess was supposed to have power to control and end all epidemics, power to control and end all plagues. She even had a special priesthood called Sunu(?) and they wore amulets representing her and they were the ones who were supposedly able to go around and ward off disease. And here comes a plague, a physical disease that is out of control and it's unable to be handled by the gods of Egypt. Serapis(?) was the god of healing, helpless. Amun-Hotep, the god of medicine, helpless. God was unstoppable as He liberated His people.
The seventh plague comes in chapter 9 verse 13 and this is hail and fire. Chapter 9 verses 13 through the end of the chapter, we won't take time to read it. Suffice it to say that God sends down hail and fire in a frightening judgment. This strikes a blow at Newt who was the sky goddess, Isis and Seth who had responsibility for all the crops and in this terrible tragedy hail and fire destroyed all the crops so those gods were shown to be weak.
The eighth plague comes in chapter 10. Locusts, same kind of confrontation, the same kind of warning and then comes the terrible plague as the locusts cover the land. Verse 12, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, even all the hail has left." Whatever is left, the locusts eat. You're talking about horrifying condition, a famine. None of the gods of Egypt can stop this.
A locust is a machine that eats. A locust is capable of eating its own weight daily. One square mile of locusts will contain from 100 million to 200 million locusts and swarms have been known to cover 400 square miles. They're able to flap their wings non-stop for 17 hours, fly at a cruising speed of ten to twelve miles per hour for 20 hours or more. And they were everywhere in the land, moving across in devastating destruction. There were no gods of the crops that could stop them.
"Then came darkness, verse 21 of chapter 10, darkness. One of the premiere deities in Egypt was the god Ra, do you remember that name? He was the sun god. He was the god they worshiped because he faithfully provided the warmth and the light of the sun day after day. And now all of a sudden he is encountered and he is defeated. Amon-Ra, the chief god of Thebes was the sun god. Atum was the god of the setting sun. And so these deities were shown to be weak before the God of Israel.
And then finally in chapter 11 verses 1 to 10, the death of the firstborn. This is the finale, the death of the firstborn. This hits at the god Min(?) who was the god of procreation. This hits at Isis, the symbol of fertility and the power to produce offspring. This hits at Hathor(?) who, for example, was one of seven deities who attended the birth of children, this massive slaughter of all the firstborn. Down in verse 5 it describes all the firstborn dying. In verse 6 the cry that goes up throughout the land at this unbelievable devastation.
Well, this horrible experience brought Israel to deliverance and got them out of Egypt. This was a mighty display of God's power. It ended up in their deliverance. To commemorate it God instituted a feast...a feast. Chapter 12 describes it, it's called Passover. And God said I want you to do it in the beginning of months for you, verse 2, first month of the year on the tenth of the month, take a lamb...and He went on to describe the Passover, the killing of the spotless lamb. Why did the Jews do that for centuries? To remember God was a God of deliverance. To remember that God was a God of salvation, that no matter how formidable the enemy might be, no matter how powerful the deities might be, He could defeat them all and deliver His people. The night before His death Jesus gathered with His disciples and He gathered to eat the Passover to remember that great deliverance from Egypt, to remember the power of God to deliver His people out of the hand of all other gods. But Jesus took the bread that would have been a reminder of the Passover, the cup that would have been a reminder of the Passover and instituted a new feast. He said...From now on for the rest of the history of the world whenever you want to remember the delivering saving power of God you don't go back to Egypt, you go back to the cross. He wonderfully took the Passover and transformed it into His table. He was about to make the display of power in Egypt look like a small operation, very localized, very limited and with only a brief moment of historical significance when compared with what He accomplished on the cross.
No longer would people look back to the Passover in Egypt and the deliverance of God as He killed all the firstborn in Egypt and spared the children of Israel who put the blood on the doorpost and the lintel, no longer would that be the redemptive display of all displays. Now the redemptive display would be the cross. We don't celebrate the Passover, we celebrate the new Passover, the Lord's table.
In some way we are doing what the Jews did at the Passover. We are remembering the delivering power of God. This is our remembrance, this display infinitely greater than any other display. Paul writes, "For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks He broke it and said, `This is My body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same way He took the cup...that's the Passover cup...also after supper saying, `This cup is the New Covenant in My blood, do this as oft as you drink it in remembrance of Me, for as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord."
And thus does Paul tell us the Lord instituted the new Passover. The Jews celebrated the Passover every year. We celebrate the Lord's table much more frequently than that, don't we? It can be celebrated anytime...anytime God's people come together it can be celebrated. The early church was doing it daily and then weekly, and now we do it several times a month perhaps. It can be done anytime by God's people. It's without a date, not like the Passover, it can be done anytime as we remember the greatness of our salvation. Let's bow together in prayer.
Father, as we come to this table we look back to the cross and the monumental deliverance that Jesus Christ effected there, far greater than anything that was done through Moses and Aaron, far greater than any deliverance effected by a lamb whose blood was put upon the doorpost and the lintel is the redemption, the salvation and the deliverance accomplished through Jesus Christ who shattered the power of every false deity and shattered the power of the god of this age, even Satan himself who shattered it and devastated it, who took that false god and bruised his head permanently. We thank You that He could say "It is finished" and know He triumphed in His cross and that all principalities and powers were made subject to Him in it, that He by His own death transported His people from bondage to freedom, from death to life, from darkness to light, from sin to righteousness, from hell to heaven, from chains to freedom. Not any of us were there to see His saving power in Egypt, but all who come to Christ can experience the saving power of His cross.
And so, Lord, we come tonight to take the cup and the bread in order that we might remember and acknowledge and celebrate Your saving power. We know, Lord, that some here are not Christians and they cannot partake for to do so would be bringing judgment on themselves. Some who are Christians here, Lord, are harboring sin in their life, living sinfully without repentance, they are not worthy to partake for they would mock the cross by holding to the very sin which You died to remove. So, Father, we pray that You might save those who do not know You, that You might redeem them even now, that You might forgive their sins and cleanse them and become Lord and Savior to them that they might partake. May they now open their hearts to You and pray a prayer of repentance and embrace Christ. And for those who are Christians holding on to sin, may this be a time of confession, and for all of us, time when we come clean and ask the Spirit to search out the dark spots that we don't even know about and make us worthy to share in these elements. Work that work in our hearts. We pray in Christ's name.

US Postal Service Sends Postage Due Bill To Guy Who Put Block Party Invites Into Neighbors' Mailboxes
from the usps-desperation dept
But, apparently, the USPS has had enough of that. After discovering that a family in Connecticut planned a Halloween blockparty by putting invites into their neighbors' mailboxes, the USPS sent the family a bill for postage.
"One Monday I had a note it is illegal to put these in mailboxes. Day 2 I had a bill for assumed 80 in the box, times 44 cents for the stamp," the father, Jeff, told WFSB. "I haven't paid it yet. I'm trying to have the conversation that no one is willing to have."At least they're not seeking fines as well. But is this really a particularly good use of the USPS's time?

For the first time, the good folks at Ringling Bros. will have EIGHT motorcycles speedily circling around in their Globe of Steel. We'll be watching through our terrified fingers.
Walk the Moon has a new self-titled album out now. We should warn them: though our moon on stage looks very sturdy, they probably shouldn't walk on it. Safety first!
Joel McHale stars in "The Happytime Murders," which sound way more pleasant than regular murders.
"FInding Bigfoot" star James "Bobo" Fey has been hunting the Sasquatch since the early 80s. Makes sense; the 80s had big hair, so why not Bigfoot, too?
Samuel Comroe won his appearance through Ricky Gervais' "Just Sayin'" app. It must be the first app that GETS you a job rather than gets you FIRED from a job.
Kristen Stewart stars in the stunning "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk." We love movies with titles that could conceivably also be a Conway Twitty song.

My girl friend recently brought her cats to you and has been delighted with the turn-around in her kitties health. I too am having problems… I recently started feeding my cat "Prarie" dry food because he has abnormal urine problems and almost died a year ago. After two weeks on the diet one part of his urine sample was much better, however his PH remains at 8. Is this the proper food for him? He likes it so much better than his vet recommended food.
I suggest that you try to feed as little dry kibble to your cat as possible and instead feed a high quality canned food, like Nature's Variety Instinct canned cat food or other similar quality brands.
If you are open to introducing raw food into his diet, that would be even
better. Cats do not tolerate grains well and especially cats with urinary problems should eat as little grain in their diet as possible. You might find the articles on our site What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food
and Treating Feline
Lower Urinary Tract Disease helpful.
In addition to avoiding grain in the diet, you might want to try a pH supplement, like Wysong's pH-, to help lower his urinary pH.

Artist Bio
Dara Maclean is a vocalist and songwriter who is passionate about raising the awareness of, and bringing an end to, the issue of human trafficking. Over the two years since the release of her debut LP, You Got My Attention, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter's seen some of her most closely held hopes come to fruition. Dara's lifelong dream of ministering broadly through music came to pass, Maclean spending almost two years straight on the road with inspirations-turned-friends like Casting Crowns and NewSong. She traveled to Kampala, Uganda -- a place to which she'd long felt called -- to worship, sing and share. And there, standing in a rainstorm as a transformative trip was coming to an end, Donnie Petty -- the love she'd prayed for -- asked her to be his wife. If You've Got My Attention showed a young artist praising the value of trusting in God's plan and in grace, Maclean's new album, Wanted, beams the heart of someone who's seen that trust proven out. "This is the sweetest time I have ever experienced," Maclean says, "the gift of the right person in my life has been life-changing. And this next record is timely. It's my journal, of sorts. It's my journey." Maclean's journey is, in and of itself, a testament to the power God's faithfulness. She grew up in Ft. Worth, Tex., immersed in music and ministry from age 7, songwriting and pursuing a calling in the music industry since age 13, all the while learning and growing spiritually, as well as developing an appreciation for all things soul/Motown music to worship music, thanks to her supportive musician/pastor parents. Maclean's parents encouraged her to trust in God's divine plan for her, to explore the musical gifts God had given and what He meant for her to do with them. Working part-time jobs and struggling to find a footing in between doing what she had to do and what she felt born to do, she often felt impatient, and like a failure at times, like people often do. She fought against impossible standards she imposed upon herself, and often would feel the need to point out the real enemy, herself. Maclean found peace by remaining thankful for all the good even when waiting for, what felt like an eternity, to do what was in her heart. She returned her focus to God's grace, and when her career's bloom came -- ushered in by an unexpected yet perfectly timed phone call from label/publishing executive Susan Riley at age 22 -- it came with the benefit of valuable lessons learned and tearful prayers of gratitude. "When I look back, it's interesting, because I think, 'Why didn't I just trust?'" Maclean says. "'You put it in my heart and then You did it. You're faithful. And I was the only one that got in the way of it.' The only thing that I can say is, 'God, You are a man of Your word, and everything that You said You were gonna do, it has happened to a T, but it has been better. Your timing is always perfect.'" "It's that realization that forms the heartbeat of much of Wanted: a reminder that through the gift of God's grace, you're truly blessed, forgiven, good enough, that you can stop fighting and find peace, as you rest in the knowledge of God's opinion of you and letting it be the only one that matters. The fact that He sees you through the sacrifice of His son and that sacrifice was enough to eternally cleanse and redeem, no matter what the story. God's love is our guarantee and when we allow His thoughts towards us to be the only voice that speaks, daily, it begins to change our lives. Jeremiah 29:11: 'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the LORD. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.' The songs hone in on the need for encouragement, the need we all have for the light to shine in and expose any lies we've been embracing as truth and the need for rescue, from ourselves, or to empower us, to be the ones that discover wholeness through the cross and then go out and 'be' rescue to the world around us. I count this record as a gift to me and a celebration of the transformative power of truly knowing and trusting in God, my Father." "You know how you go to church on Sunday morning, and then it's Monday morning, and you have to go back to work and life's demands are screaming, you get devastating news, you have one deadline after another and emails and you're waking up at 4 in the morning to catch a flight and you're missing home and the ones you love and it doesn't stop… This is a Monday morning record. When life hits in the hardest of ways, and you need peace and you need an answer, let's take Him at His word and together learn about truth and the only answer, God." Musically, Wanted shows Maclean's musical upbringing -- a love of powerful, personality-fueled and soul-steeped vocalists from Etta James and Stevie Wonder to Lauryn Hill -- filtered through a modern pop lens, with help from producer/songwriter/drummer Paul Mabury and a cast of other talented co-writers, including Jason Ingram, Dave Barnes and Cindy Morgan. Finding Wanted producer Mabury, Maclean figures, came through as another example of God's perfect timing. "He's honestly like a brother in my life," she says. "He was deeply immersed in the Australian Hillsong circle, so he knows worship, he knows that heartbeat as well as mine for the church. I grew up as a praise and worship leader, so worship influences such as Hillsong, Passion, CeCe Winans, Jesus Culture, to name a few, in addition to every Lauryn Hill record, were the start of my journey of beginning artistry and songwriting. Paul knew the world of worship, he's a songwriter, a producer, one of the best drummers that I've heard, and -- cherry on the sundae and absolutely necessary – he's played in funk bands all over the world and is extremely well versed in the type of music old and new, that moves me. He has this backbone of soul and he understands my artistic soul: I have to be able to groove to everything that I do." Few songs on Wanted bridge that soul backbone and worship heartbeat as completely as the forthright "Set My People Free," in which Maclean affirms, "Your faithfulness destroys the doubt/ Your strength is fire to my soul." "This song, it charges me," she says. "It is my mission statement and my battle cry. We're just gonna dive into the face of darkness, and the only rescue that can ever happen is the light of the gospel." "Set My People Free" shows just one sonic side of Maclean and Wanted, though -- she sings of surrender over gentle piano in "Find Rest"; mixes orchestral swells, Broadway pomp and R&B pulse into "Nobody But You"; and pours profound appreciation and adoration into "Made," a song written for her new husband, and the song she'd walk down the aisle to. The breadth of sound and mood was purposeful -- as much to echo the emotional arc that Maclean's own journey has been as to evoke one in those who listen. "I think music should make you laugh and cry and everything in between," she says. "I just want it to feel like life." ###

The latest wave of restaurant news finds a trio of eateries tossing dough across Brunswick and New Hanover counties.
It's a $32-billion-dollar industry that finds Americans devouring 350 slices every second of the day, according to 2013 statistics published by the industry trade publication Pizza Marketplace. The Cape Fear region is home to more than a few spots to order a hot pie, and the latest wave of restaurant news finds a trio of eateries tossing dough across Brunswick and New Hanover counties.
Tower Pizza owners Mike Bernardi, Mike and Stephanie MacDonald and Allen Post – all native New Yorkers – purchased the long-established pizzeria location at 3926 Market St. in late 2013.
With a combined 50 years in the restaurant industry – 35 of that spent making pizzas – the well-trained kitchen is eager to introduce Wilmington to their take on pie.
"First of all, everybody says this, but what we're doing is a genuine New York-style pizza," Bernardi explained. "It's hand-tossed dough made from whole durum wheat flour, stretched thin and cooked directly on the stone. It's a thin, light, crisp pizza."
He further added that the kitchen makes everything from scratch, including hand cutting fries and battering their own onion rings, and will soon introduce daily special wing sauces.
Also in the Port City, the former Incredible Pizza at 1978 Eastwood Road has a new owner and name. Brothers Danny and Earl McPherson, the engineers behind the recent reboot of King Neptune at Wrightsville Beach, plan to open Bessie and Giuseppe in the spot.
Over the bridge, Ian Hunting is preparing to expand his popular Boiling Spring Lakes-based Pepperoni Grill to Oak Island at 4320 East Beach Drive.
"This location is beachfront, you can see the ocean from every seat in the house," he said of the spot.
Pepperoni Grill has won people's choice accolades for the best pie in Brunswick County from Brunswick Marketplace News for the past five years, and Hunting is confident his pizza will win over locals and tourists alike in a space that has seen significant turnover in the past five years. He hopes to open early next month, ideally March 8, six years to the day of the original spot launching.

OhDara Special: Monthly Round-Up – Jumping into the Heat of Activities in April
YAY! The monthly round-up is here for April!
I know that it's almost the middle of May (dodges pitchforks, swords, and various pointy objects thrown my way… dodges Primary Admin unnie's bombs), no excuses are acceptable, I know, but work has been stressful (impending unemployment not withstanding), and so many things happened already! ^^ But anyways, the month of April has been a good one for 2NE1 and Blackjacks alike.
First, the girls solidified their position as Adidas's official endorsers, attending not one, but two Adidas-related activities in the month. Earlier in the month, on the 19th, 2NE1 attended the re-opening of the biggest Adidas showroom to date, the Myeongdong store. The group showed up in red and black Adidas tracksuits, as they posed for the gathered crowd, then posed with some of the Adidas shoes inside the store. Apparently, they also tried out the various sports equipment inside, as seen in the fan-taken photos of Dara running for a bit on their treadmill.

Dallas-Fort Worth is inching closer to having a ring of advanced radar units up and running when the spring severe-storm season starts.
A fourth component of the new radar system was installed Tuesday atop a municipal building in Addison. Over the last year, other units have been deployed at the University of Texas at Arlington, at the University of North Texas in Denton and in Midlothian.
"I expect we will have pretty good coverage over most of the Metroplex by storm season," said Amanda Everly, who is coordinating the radar program for the North Central Texas Council of Governments.
Two more of the $500,000 radar units should be operational in Cleburne and northwest Fort Worth by March or April, she said.
Scientists, meteorologists and emergency managers say the system will provide five to 20 minutes of additional early warning when tornadoes, flash floods, hailstorms or severe thunderstorms rake the region.
The near-ground radar will allow meteorologists to issue more precise warnings for weather threats down to the neighborhood level, according to Brenda Phillips, a co-leader of the project developed by the CASA Engineering Research Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Known as CASA, for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere, the radar makes scans of storms every minute instead of every five minutes. It also provides higher-resolution images and multiple overlapping views of storm cells.
The system will be used in conjunction with the Doppler radar used by the National Weather Service.
The Fort Worth CASA unit will be placed on a 50-foot tower on the former site of a 1920s-era water tower on Boat Club Road, said Juan Ortiz, the city's emergency management coordinator.
"We're making a lot of progress but we had an opportunity to use a better tower platform to support the radar so that caused some delays," he said.
Funded by a National Science Foundation grant, the 10-year, $40 million project is the work of a consortium of government agencies, universities and industry partners.
The CASA program is footing the $4 million cost of the eight initial radars. Site hosts pay for installation as well as power, Internet connections and maintenance. Local governments will cover the first year's operational costs of $500,000.
The radar system proved itself during a four-year test in rural Oklahoma. DFW's 6.5 million people and volatile weather made it the perfect urban setting for CASA's next five-year study phase, Phillips said.
Ultimately, 16 to 20 radars will be needed to overlay the 16-county footprint of the North Central Texas Council of Governments, which has been a key partner in the endeavor, she said.

I am celebrating my blogging anniversary. Well, it's the 20th or 21st; the Summer Solistice. I figured I needed the longest day of the year to get started.
While I don't have a huge number of readers, I appreciate each of you. I also want to thank Amy and Thomas, especially, for their encouragement in the first few days/months.
Just for your info, family stuff has been interfering with genealogy. I'm sure you can all identify with that. So, for the past month I've been planning on how, starting today, genealogy writing (especially blog writing) would move up in my to-do list.. Unfortunately, I just found out that MORE family stuff is going to take extra time and effort, including being away from home, for some time. (No, it's not my health or my any of my family member's health, so that's not the problem.) I don't know how long yet. I'm grateful that I was able to attend both NGS and Jamboree this year. I'm still hoping to make GRIP. We'll see.

Today's identity management solutions generally rely on using a central LDAP directory as their main identity repository. This is where all information relating to any employee should be available.
However, in enterprise environments, this identity information either originates from, or is needed in, a variety of different repositories. A few examples include the human resources software that stores employees' information in a database, Microsoft's Active Directory solution for desktop computer management which needs users' identities, or that old directory which just won't replicate with any newer solution.
So, how do you keep information in all these different identity repositories in sync with each other? Manually copying and pasting information is obviously not a viable solution for any more that a few hundred users.
The LDAP Synchronization Connector (LSC) project is an Open Source tool to address this problem. Relying on standard protocols, it can address any SQL database and any LDAPv3 directory, as well as read from flat files, in order to set up continuous synchronization between different repositories. A very powerful mapping mechanism allows fine-tuning of which data goes where, including default values, external lookups and directory-specific tools, such as password hashing and account status management.
Published under the BSD license, LSC was created 5 years ago. Since the creation of the public website, http://lsc-project.org, two years ago, about 10 regular contributors have been working to improve the tool.
This talk will introduce the need and frequent use-cases for such a tool, present the tool and surrounding project and detail some specific examples for use, including a live demo.

GH6235, New September 2003
Each child grows and develops at his or her own rate. Children display developmental landmarks at different times. This guide presents characteristics that children between the ages of 6 and 11 will typically display as they grow and develop.
The school-age years (ages 6 through 11) bring new and exciting challenges and rewards for children. Using the initiative they established as preschoolers, the primary job of the school-age child is to develop a sense of personal competence. This means that children establish a sense of self or self-concept based on their abilities. This self-concept is influenced by how easily they learn new skills. Children use feedback from important adults, peers and their own self-evaluation to judge their competencies.
School-age children's style of thinking is concrete, meaning that their thinking and reasoning is more logical and organized than it was during the preschool years. For example, school-aged children can classify objects in different ways (such as sorting baseball cards by team, playing position, league, etc.). Furthermore, children are able to understand and express a variety of emotions. Friendships among school-age children blossom, as they become better able to take the perspective of others.
Adults play an important role in helping school-age children develop a sense of personal competence. You can contribute to a child's sense of self and help foster his or her self-esteem by:
Furthermore, you can enhance a child's social and emotional development by encouraging your child to talk about his or her feelings and helping him or her develop problem-solving skills to use in friendships and other peer relationships. This guide offers general knowledge about children's development during the school-age years, including
Suggestions for how you can foster children's positive development are offered. Additionally, special attention is paid to several issues important during the school-age years, including personal physical fitness and peer relationships.
When most of us look back on our childhoods, we can recall a particular close friend or a group of classmates or other peers who were important to us. In fact, research on school-aged children shows that having positive peer relationships is related to many other aspects of positive adjustment. Children who have good relationships with classmates are less lonely, less depressed, miss fewer days of school, and report enjoying school more.
For these reasons, it makes sense that parents and teachers worry about children who have more problematic relationships with peers. It is important to keep in mind, though, that a child does not have to be the most popular kid in class to have good relationships with peers. In fact, peer relationship researchers have identified two major areas in which children can be successful in peer relationships:
Although it is wonderful for children to both be well-accepted and to have a reciprocal friend, most children who are either well-accepted or have a reciprocal friend would be considered relatively successful in their peer relationships. For example, a child may be well-liked by most of his or her classmates but not have found one classmate in particular with whom he or she has formed a close one-on-one relationship. Perhaps more importantly, a child who is having a tough time with his or her classmates in general can really benefit from having at least one close friend.
Sadly, some children are both not well-accepted by classmates in general and lack a close friendship. But there are ways that parents and teachers can help:
Parents and teachers should never underestimate the importance of children's relationships with peers. Through making and managing friendships, children are learning to build close, satisfying relationships with others who are not members of their own family. These are important skills that will serve them well for many years to come.
We extend our appreciation to Amanda J. Rose, assistant professor of psychological sciences at MU, for her expertise on peer relationships.
Between the ages of 6 and 11, children experience many physical changes. Children's arm and leg coordination increases, their ability to use their fingers and hands for crafts and writing improves, and their interest in games with rules and organized sports grows. Unfortunately, many of today's youths do not get enough exercise.
Did you know?
Parents, teachers and fitness professionals play important roles in promoting physical fitness among children. However, the parents' role is the most important. Children model their parents' behavior, so parents must be physically active too.
So, what can parents do to promote physical activity among their children?

What can adults do?

The news came out and about through AMD's filing with the Security and Exchange Commission in the US. The SEC filing claims that Intel "(i) alleges that the Company has committed a material breach of the Cross License through the creation of the Company's GLOBALFOUNDRIES joint venture and (ii) purports to terminate the Company's rights and licenses under the Cross License in 60 days if the alleged breach has not been corrected".
AMD sees things a little differently, and states that it has not broken the agreement - but that Intel's attempt at terminating the agreement is in itself a breach of the agreement. Brace yourself, as AMD "explains" that "Intel's purported attempt to terminate the Company's rights and licenses under the Cross License itself constitutes a material breach of the Cross License by Intel which gives the Company the right to terminate Intel's rights and licenses under the Cross License Agreement while retaining the Company's rights and licenses under the Cross License Agreement". Finishing all four campaigns on expert in Left 4 Dead is easier than reading that sentence aloud.
An Intel spokesperson said that "Intel believes that the formation of Global Foundries is not a subsidiary under terms of the agreement and is therefore not licensed under a 2001 patent cross license agreement and that AMD violated the agreement." He added: "Intel does not believe AMD can unilaterally extend Intel's rights to a 3rd party without Intel's consent."
The two companies have never exactly been friends, and are still in an antitrust battle in the EU. It's anybody's guess as to how serious this recent threat is.

Beautifully illustrated post about "reading" what's going on while walking or taking public transport! I always enjoy "studying" the event posters while waiting for the metro in Vienna, or the Litfaßsäulen (pillars where posters of current events are affixed). I have missed more than one metro that way, though. ;-)ReplyDelete
I bet Paris, just like Vienna, also has websites that inform you also in advance of events that may be worthwhile to buy tickets online to skip the waiting in line. I subscribe to several on Facebook, a very comfortable way to stay informed.Replies
I agree "reading between the lines" always tells the true story.Delete
