Only one bidder submitted a proposal to take over the sales and marketing operations of the New Jersey Lottery: Northstar New Jersey, a joint venture that includes GTECH Corp., which for nearly 30 years has supplied lottery technology to New Jersey.
Northstar's other partners are Scientific Games Corp., of New York, a global lottery provider; and Toronto-based OSE LTT NJ Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of OMERS Administration Corp., an affiliate of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System — one of the largest pension funds in Canada.
If Northstar is chosen, following a review process expected to take two to three months, it has to make a $120 million upfront payment to the lottery, and enter into a pay-for-performance contact that allows Northstar to earn incentive payments if it increases the lottery's net revenues, after expenses and prizes.
Bill Quinn, a spokesman for Treasury, which runs the Lottery, said, "We will analyze the bid very closely to make a determination as to whether it is in the best interests of the state of New Jersey."
Quinn confirmed only one bid had arrived by the Thursday afternoon deadline; when the RFP process started earlier this year, several other major international lottery vendors had indicated they were mulling New Jersey's outsourcing deal. Quinn said details of the proposal would not be made public until it becomes a contract that the state agrees to with the vendor.
Quinn said the Northstar bid will be analyzed by a review committee to make sure it meets all the requirements of the bid. For example, the bidder must have experience running a public lottery with annual revenues of $1 billion or more; have the financial capability to make the required "accelerated guaranty payment" of $120 million; and must also meet a series of other reviews, such as on the qualifications of personnel, its past record of success in completing contracts and the net income targets it has proposed.
If the bid meets all of those standards, it will be considered qualified, and the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property will enter into negotiations with the bidder to obtain its "best and final offer" and to make a recommendation on whether the state should enter into a contract with the bidder, Quinn said.
Bob Vincent, senior vice president of corporate affairs for GTECH, a Lottomatica subsidiary that provides lottery services in 27 states, declined to comment on the Northstar bid.
"This is a process, we are just beginning the process, and we look forward to continued negotiations with the state," he said.

The illustration painted on to the side of the albarello drug jar shows an older man with a white beard. Albarello drug jars, with their characteristic hourglass shape, were invented in Persia. They were designed to fit tightly on shelves but still be removed safely. It is not known what the drug jar stored. It was bequeathed to the Wellcome collections by the British laryngologist Sir St Clair Thomson (1856-1943) and is shown here with three other drug jars (A42538, A636310 and A636312).

House Painters Supplies Checklist
Embarking on a house painting project might look like a simple job. Nevertheless, without the correct preparation and the best supplies, your simple task can rapidly develop into a trouble. Before you start moving the furnishings out of the way, first consult this list to guarantee you have all the products you need:Glenduff House Painters
- Old Clothes. No matter how precise you are with the roller, you're bound to get some paint on you, so ensure you've got old clothing that you're ready to obtain a few splotches on. If you'll be painting the ceiling, consider wearing an old hooded sweatshirt to safeguard your hair.
- Tarps. Unless you haven't moved into your house yet, odds are you have furnishings in the room you'll be painting. Get rid of any furnishings from the room that you can, and cover the big products– like beds, cabinets, or sectionals– with tarps or ground cloth. You'll also need tarps to cover the flooring.
Wall Prep
- Spackle and Spatula to spot any holes in your walls
- Paint Scraper to remove any breaking paint
- Sand Paper to ravel any bumps and even out rough textures on your walls
- Soap to clean the walls
- Painter's tape to protect trim and get clean lines
Painting Supplies
- Flat Paint Brush to cut in the border of the space next to any taped off locations
- Roller and Roller Covers for most of the painting. To reach the ceiling or for rooms with extremely tall walls, you'll also need a painter's pole.
- Tray to hold percentages of paint. Never ever dip your paint brush right into the paint can since you run the risk of infecting the gallon with dust and dirt.
- Primer to cover the existing wall color and develop a blank slate so your new color will use evenly and require less coats. You can likewise acquire paint with primer combined into the color.
- Paint in your preferred finish. Flat paint provides a no-gloss surface, which is difficult to clean, so reserve flat paint for low-traffic locations. Satin and eggshell finishes are terrific for living rooms and bed rooms since they are easy to clean and have light-reflecting characteristics. Semi-gloss finish is terrific for trim, windowsills, and railings.
Having all of your materials in order reduce the frustration and ensures your painting process goes smoothly.

Was lights out yesterday!
He played with a fire that I haven't seen him play with, possibly ever, as a Seahawk. There were a few times where he came flying in hard on a run blitz and took down AP before he could get going. He also NEARLY had an amazing interception that would've thrown us into a frenzy. All in all he played a very impressive game.
It seemed like he definitely stepped up to help lead this football team on defense. Browner and Sherman were there to answer the call as well.
Here's to Earl Thomas showin em how it's done!

WASHINGTON – As the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in two cases about same-sex marriage this week, Colorado's senators point to their support of marriage equality and successful efforts to overturn the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy.
Tuesday's case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, centers on California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage in the state. Early reports characterized the justices as cautious and conflicted during Tuesday's oral arguments.
Colorado's Attorney General John Suthers signed a brief advocating that the Court sustain Proposition 8, according to the Denver Post. Suthers said he is defending Colorado's constitutional gay-marriage ban from 2006, the Post reported.
Today's case, United States v. Windsor, challenges the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, D-Colo., signed a legal brief for United States v. Windsor earlier this month urging the Court to overturn DOMA.
"(Udall) hopes the justices see that our nation is stronger when we promote commitment and shared responsibility," spokesman Mike Saccone said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
Udall announced his support for gay marriage in August 2011, despite previously struggling with the idea, according to his October 2012 op-ed in Politico.
"But as time went on, I began to realize that gay couples just want to make the same promise of commitment and fidelity that my wife and I made so many years ago," he wrote. "I thought about my own wedding day – one of the happiest of my life – and I began to think that there is no substitute for the unique, public promises I made that day in front of our family, friends and community."
Bennet called for a pro-marriage equality plank to be part of the Democratic platform in 2012, said his spokesman Adam Bozzi.
"He believes discrimination in our marital laws or otherwise against any Coloradan or American because of sexual orientation is unacceptable," Bozzi said in an email. "Two people who want to enter into a loving, committed relationship should be afforded the same legally recognized rights and benefits he enjoys with his wife."
But Durango's congressman, U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, said his spokesman Josh Green.
"However, he believes that all Americans regardless of orientation should receive equal treatment when it comes to visitation rights, estate planning or taxation," Green said in an email.
Tipton supports domestic partnerships, Green said, provided it does not require religious institutions, private employers or private organizations to honor it against their will as marriage.
Tipton also thinks defining marriage should be a state concern, Green said.
U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, is the most senior gay member of the House of Representatives, according to The New York Times.
In Colorado, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed civil-unions legislation into law Thursday. The new law will take effect May 1, and it gives same-sex couples most of the rights identical to marriage under state law. But gay-rights supporters say they will continue pushing for marriage rights, saying the symbolic value of marriage matters to them.
If the Supreme Court makes a broad ruling in the California case and follows the Obama administration's advice, it could invalidate Colorado's new civil-unions law and upgrade it to allow same-sex marriage, based on the legal theory that civil unions are an unequal status to marriage under the law.

Use a hash. Here's code to do both and more. It assumes that each element is unique in a given array: @union = @intersection = @difference = (); %count = (); foreach $element (@array1, @array2) { $count{$element}++ } foreach $element (keys %count) { push @union, $element; push @{ $count{$element} > 1 ? \@intersection : \@difference }, $element; } Note that this is the symmetric difference, that is, all elements in either A or in B but not in both. Think of it as an xor operation.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my ($word1, $word2) = qw/ abcd abcdxyz /; my %letters; $letters{$_} .= 'a' for split //, $word1; $letters{$_} .= 'b' for split //, $word2; my @uncomman; for my $ltr (keys %letters) { push @uncomman, $ltr if $letters{$ltr} =~ /^b/ || $letters{$ltr} =~ /a$/; } print @uncomman;

Cape Henlopen High School junior Bethany Tyndall always thought of herself as artistic. But, it took a camera to get get her to notice where her talent resided. Now, others are noticing, too.
Some people just have innate talent. Cape Henlopen High School Junior Bethany Tyndall discovered hers behind the lens of a Nikon camera last year.
With only a few art classes to draw upon, though, she's already making a name for herself. She took home first place in the student division of the Prime Hook Photography Contest last year. It was her first contest. Now, she's been offered her first public exhibit by The Upper Crust, a local bakery and eatery, hoping to expand art and artist opportunities in Georgetown.
Upper Crust co-owner Charles Meade sees a lot of talent in Tyndall and hopes the public will see it, too.
"From what I can see, she has a good eye and her work is clean and sharp," Meade said.
Tyndall's work will be available for viewing through mid-March. Today, she'll be at The Upper Crust from 12:30 to 2 p.m., for the artist meet-and-greet, ready to discuss her work. But, first she took time to discuss photography, her exhibit and her plans for the future with the Sussex Countian.
Q How did you get interested in photography?
A I've always been an artsy person so this is just another way I can express myself. I never really thought of it as something I would be interested in, though. Then, I went to France my freshman year of high school. When I got home I was flipping through the hundreds of photos I took, never expecting them to be more than the stereotypical vacation pictures. But, my mom and I were awestruck at how some of them looked.
Q You were recently awarded first place in the student division of the Prime Hook Photography Contest. What was that like?
A Well, the rules were that there could be no manmade objects in the photo and the plants and animals had to be native to the area. This was extremely hard for me because I know absolutely nothing about plants. I didn't know anything about which plants are native and which aren't so I had to do some digging to find out what everything was. I think I actually entered 15 pictures because there was no entry fee for the student division. Plus, I just couldn't decide on which one I thought could possibly win. On our way home, after dropping the photos off, I remember my mom saying that even though she thought I had amazing photos, I shouldn't expect to win. But, at the same time, she said that it would be awesome if I did.
Q What was your reaction when you found out that you did win?
A I was home sick when I got the call. When I picked up the phone, a man said that I won and, like a loser, the only words that came out of my mouth were "thank you." It most definitely is a validation of my work, though. It made me confident enough to do things like the hanging at The Upper Crust and the Paisley Moon Salon, another place my work is being shown now.
Q Are you going to enter more contests now?
A I've actually entered the State of Delaware Employee Exhibition through the National Arts Program and I plan on entering even more in the future.
Q So, out of the 15 photos you entered, which one was the winner?
A It's some sea thing. I'm not sure what it was. It was rolled around in the sand and I thought it would make an interesting picture.
Q Well, on that note, can you explain what you think makes for a good photo?
A To get a good photo, you need to get the settings right. For example, I have a picture of a church steeple with an airplane stream behind it. I took the photo in two different settings. The first setting made the steeple completely black and the sky a bright blue. The other has the steeple in light and the sky is just a dullish blue. The dark one with the bright sky was definitely the best.
Q But, how do you know when you've got "the photo?"
A An artist is definitely their own harshest critic, so after I go out, I load them on the computer. Then, my mother and I look through all of them, picking out ones we like the best. So, that's one way. But, most of all you just have to have that spark of excitement when you see it.
Q Do you have a favorite photographer that influences you?
A I really don't. I'm influenced by everything I see. Sometimes, I see things that would remind me of Monet. Sometimes, I find inspiration by looking through a magazine.
Q What kind of camera do you use? Do you have a dream camera?
A I have a Nikon D3000 that I got for Christmas of 2011. January of 2012 was the first time I went out using that camera. That's also when I got my winning photo. As for a dream camera – Honestly, I'm happy with what I have but I won't lie, I would love to have one of those $10,000 cameras. It's just not practical for a 16-year-old. My mom always says "that's not in Santa's budget."
Q Well, what are your plans for college and beyond? Where does photography fit in?
A I have a lot of plans for what I want to do. I'm interested in everything from anthropology and sociology to social work, graphic design and elementary education. As for photography, I already have friends who want me to take their senior pictures. I would definitely do little events like that if I were asked.
Q What do you hope people get out of your exhibit at The Upper Crust?
A I hope to just get my name out. But, I also hope for people to respect teenagers as young artists. I also hope adults see that you're never too young or too old to start anything you find interesting.

HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1969 Topps StampsThis was Topps 3rd stamp issue in the last eight years and it was a good one !!! The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue . For a nickel you got a strip of twelve stamps plus a mini album. The 1969 Topps Stamps complete set contains 240 stamps. The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp. The stamps were released in both vertical and horizontal strips of 12 stamps. The 1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue. The 1974 Topps Stamps have ovals rather than banners at the bottom and were released only in 12-stamp horizontal panels.
Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set. To add even more collecting fun, the album's back cover had facsimile autographs of the ten players shown in the album.
The 1969 Topps Stamps set is packed with stars like Pete Rose along with tons of Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & many, many more !!!

The Smyrna High School JV boys basketball team improved to 18-1 Friday with their 60-36 win over Caesar Rodney.
Coach Dontay Black said the score may not reflect it, but it was a close game.
The Eagles started off sluggish, and only had a 22-20 lead over the Riders at the half. A few changes to the lineup at the start of the third quarter brought some energy back to the young Smyrna team especially from Kobe Morris, Rasheed Cobb, and Vincent Jubilee.
When the third quarter ended, the Eagles were up 48-26, only allowing CR to score 6 points in the third quarter. The Eagles went on to win 60-36.
Jubilee led the Eagles with 29 points and 21 rebounds. Morris added 10 points and no turnovers while Cobb contributed 7 points and 6 rebounds.
The Eagles will play their final game of the season at Sussex Tech Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 6 p.m.

Little Amps planning second coffeehouse in downtown Harrisburg
Little Amps Coffee Roasters, a neighborhood coffeehouse in the Olde Uptown area of Midtown Harrisburg, is planning to open a second location in the downtown next year.
WCI Partners LP, the city-based development company leading the revitalization efforts in Olde Uptown, is in the process of buying the three-story building at 133 State St., President David Butcher said.
The property is across the street from the recently opened Second and State office building owned by WCI.
The developer hopes to begin renovations by the end of January, Butcher said.
The first-floor retail space would be leased to Little Amps, while the top two floors would be used for two two-bedroom market-rate apartments. The apartment units would feature exposed brick and hardwood floors as well as stainless steel appliances, Butcher said.
The developer also owns and leases the coffee shop building at 1836 Green St. to Little Amps.
Little Amps owner Aaron Carlson said he would like to open the downtown location by May.
"I always wanted one closer to the business community," said Carlson, who opened the neighborhood retail shop last fall as a hangout for coffee enthusiasts.
With its close proximity to the state Capitol, the second location would target people who work in the downtown, he said. The current site appeals more to those who live in Olde Uptown and the surrounding area.
Coffee history
About three years ago, Carlson moved back to Harrisburg and bought a small commercial roaster and several hundred pounds of coffee beans. He began roasting in a local warehouse and selling his beans online with the idea of one day opening a coffee shop.
He found his opportunity in Olde Uptown, and the Little Amps brand has flourished.
"It worked better than I thought it would," Carlson said.
He said his hope is to build out from Harrisburg and expand the brand in Central Pennsylvania.
"He's doing well, and there is strong demand for high-quality coffee," Butcher said of the Little Amps concept, which emphasizes professional coffee in a relaxed atmosphere.

Cinema Verde Environmental Film & Arts Festival will be held Feb. 9-14 at Jolie in downtown Gainesville.
Several years ago, Trish Riley was at a conference in San Francisco when she noticed the number of films centered on environmental conservation in the city.
Months after Riley, an environmental journalist, returned to Gainesville, the idea of launching a film festival sprung to life.
"I know how important [environmental protection] is, how serious it is, and I want people to do something about it," said Riley, who is the author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Greening Your Business."
The fourth annual Cinema Verde Environmental Films & Art Festival kicks off Feb. 9 and continues through Feb. 14. The festival features more than 30 films that hope to inspire individuals to adopt more sustainable lifestyles, said Riley, the event director.
The festival highlights global issues such as pollution and water conservation, while emphasizing that individuals can make changes in their daily lives that benefit the environment.
About 100 people attended each night of the festival last year. Riley said she can't predict how many will attend this year, but she hopes keeping the films confined to one venue will help eliminate confusion from previous festivals.
All 36 films will be screened at Jolie, 6 W. University Ave., which can seat up to 260 people. Riley said the films range in length from four minutes to two hours. Some of the directors, traveling from as far as California and as nearby as High Springs, will be at the festival to speak with audiences.
Riley recommends two films for those strapped for time, "Radio Love" and "Fukushame: The Lost Japan." Both focus on Japanese culture, with "Radio Love" diving into how technology like the radio keeps the people of Hiroshima connected to each other. "Fukushame" analyzes how the city's opinions about nuclear energy changed in light of the 2011 nuclear disaster.
The six-day festival is divided into daily themes, like "Celebrate Nature: Energy" and "Food," with films relating to those themes being shown on those days.
Similar to last year, there will be admissions packages to attend the festival, Riley said. The full-access VIP pass costs $100 per person and allows individuals to attend all of the films, as well as the events hosted at Jolie.
The half-access VIP pass, at $50, grants entry to half the films and events at Jolie. There also will be daily-access passes available for $15, Riley said, and the passes for weekend films will be $25.
While the festival attracts college professors, and people who tend to be in their 40s and 50s, Riley said, anyone can attend.
The EcoFair, scheduled for the opening weekend, features presentations from local businesses on using sustainable products, and potlucks that use food from farmers markets.
The festival aims to raise awareness among consumers and business owners to be more attentive of the products they use, Riley said.
"I hope," she said, "that people will leave encouraged to live happy, healthy sustainable lives."

Tagged: Super Bowl
Go Gridbirds
I am going to be a bit off-topic and write about the Football Cardinals. Oh come on, you remember them: they played in old Busch stadium, they lost most of their games, they were terribly mismanaged, they made horrible draft choices. Well, then they moved to Arizona, where they continued to be hopeless. But somewhere along the line, things began to perk up and now, miraculously, they are going to the Super Bowl!
I wish my Dad were alive to see this day. Man, did I want to call him yesterday after watching that thriller of an NFC championship game (good game, Eagles!). My Dad and a coworker split Cardinals season tickets until the team left for Phoenix. His second date with my Mom was a Cardinals football game (she didn't understand football, but liked the junk food and people watching). I got to attend quite a few games growing up in St Louis, including a few Monday Night Football games that kept me up way past my bedtime on school nights.
There was a lot of heartache to being a Gridbirds fan in the late 70s and 80s. There were many games where the Cardinals would be beating a better team, only to lose in the end on a missed field goal by Neil O'Donahue. I learned what drunkenness looked like, watching our section mates who drove up each Sunday from Cape Girardeau, only to get progressively drunker as the game got worse and start yelling and gesticulating so much that I feared they might fall over the balcony railing. Many times we all booed our home team. We cursed the owner, Bill Bidwell, for his misguided draft choices and coaching hires. Sometimes I switched allegiance and rooted for the visiting Cowboys because I had a crush on Roger Staubach. There were ineffectual quarterbacks like Neil Lomax and Rusty Lisch, and a primadonna running back named OJ Anderson. My favorite players were cornerback Roger Wherli, wide receiver Pat Tilley, offensive lineman Dan Dierdorf, and running back Stump Mitchell (short but fast!).
My dad told of happier Cardinal days in the early 70s, under coach Don Coryell. The team was known as the Cardiac Cardinals for its comeback ability. There were stars like Jackie Smith, Jim Hart, Conrad Dobler. Still, no playoff glory.
The gridbirds were losers, but they were our losers. And we hated Bidwell for taking the team to Arizona when St Louis refused to build him a new stadium (he couldn't fill the one he had). A few years later, we built a new stadium and seduced the Rams, who weren't very good either. My dad didn't buy season tickets because he disapproved of the rip-off "personal seat license" pricing scheme. Then the Rams got a former Arena league QB named Kurt Warner who took them to a Super Bowl victory. I was living in New York at the time but I threw a big Super Bowl party with St. Louis foods and I was thrilled to see the win. My dad was excited too. I became a hard core Rams fan but I still kept a little pilot light burning for the Cardinals. And then Kurt Warner moved to Arizona and he brought some magic.
Now the Rams stink, and the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl. Let me repeat that: the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl. That old Bill Bidwell was on the field after the win yesterday, still wearing that stupid bow tie, and looking like he was in shock. Well, we all are. Who cares if they are major underdogs to the Steelers? They're in the game and they've been surprising people all season, so don't count them out. Remember, Kurt Warner is Christ-powered and Larry Fitzgerald can do it all. I'll be whipping up another batch of toasted ravioli and Pasta House salad and a gooey butter cake for the Super Bowl party. Go Cards!

My latest In Good Faith Column takes us to Kentucky where I recently spent some time with Bishop Doug Hahn and 45 priests and deacons from the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington. Leading a clergy conference on creativity in ministry was great but not being able to sit in the back and Tweet snark was surreal. Fortunately for me, the lack of WiFi meant karma couldn't bite me back. With Laurie Brock in attendance, I dodged a bullet! (that's a wild west reference for those keeping score).
Chance Encounters
I traveled to Kentucky for the first time in 21 years last week. I was invited to lead a clergy conference in the Diocese of Lexington and suddenly found myself on a mountain in Eastern Kentucky surrounded by Episcopal priests. While that may sound like a nightmare scenario of Dante-esque proportions to you, take comfort in knowing that I was also surrounded by good bourbon.
Being in the Blue Grass State reminded me of my last encounter with Kentucky. After college, where I served in the Army�s ROTC program, I spent four months at Fort Knox training to be a tank platoon leader. Some days I swear this was better training for parish ministry than studying theology but that�s another matter.
Anyway, Route 31 in Kentucky connects the city of Louisville to Fort Knox and I traveled this road on a regular basis whenever we�d have weekends off. Route 31 was nothing if not nondescript but I distinctly remember passing one particular business establishment. It was a liquor store placed just outside the county line between dry Bullit County, where the sale of alcohol was prohibited, and wet Hardin County, where alcohol sales were legal.
Driving down Route 31 through the dry county and approaching the wet one, the liquor store�s giant neon sign read �Benny�s First Chance.� But when you traveled the opposite way on Route 31, through the wet county approaching the dry one, the giant neon sign read �Benny�s Last Chance.� A clever marketing ploy that has probably served Benny well over the years and it�s certainly stuck in my mind.
From a spiritual perspective, we�re offered a number of first chances and last chances. Every day in every moment, we�re offered a first chance to turn our hearts to God. The door is always open, the arms are always wide, the welcoming embrace is always offered, the invitation always stands. Sometimes that first step into genuine relationship feels like stepping off a cliff — it�s called a leap of faith, after all. But that letting go is part of living into that first chance to be with the divine — a chance we�re asked to take again and again and again.
Last chances are trickier. A last chance feels like an ultimatum: �Turn to God or else…� Preachers have fed off the fear of the last chance for generations and, while it�s occasionally effective in keeping people in line or coming through the doors, I don�t believe it gets to the heart of God. Coming face-to-face with the last chance of God�s judgment is always within the context of God�s loving mercy. The merciful judgment of God demands that we take God up on the first chances we�re continually offered to serve God and one another. Regardless, whether it�s a first chance or a last chance, we�re always encouraged to take a chance on God�s love.
I had a good time in Kentucky and I hope it won�t be another 21 years until I make it there. A clergy friend of mine in Lexington set me up with a riding lesson — I was eight the last time I rode a horse. There I was sitting atop a docile beast named Jack circling the ring along with five other riders, all elementary school-aged girls. The smile plastered on my face the whole time had nothing to do with the bourbon I knew I�d be sipping later.�

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Example: Broken at PROVE. Type :H for Help. >>:Q
You may interrupt the system by typing various control character sequences.
The precise sequences are determined by the host Lisp and operating system
environment. For example, in GCL and Allegro Common Lisp, a console
interrupt is caused by typing ``
ctrl-c''. If, however, the GCL or
Allegro is running in an Emacs shell buffer, one must type ``ctrl-c ctrl-c''.
If a break occurs, for example because of a bug in ACL2 or a user interrupt, the break will run a Common Lisp read-eval-print loop, not an ACL2 read-eval-print loop. This may not be obvious if the prompts in the two loops are similar. Because you are typing to a Common Lisp evaluator, you must be careful. It is possible to damage your ACL2 state in irreparable ways by executing non-ACL2 Common Lisp. It is even possible to disrupt and render inaccurate the interrupted evaluation of a simple ACL2 expression.
For ACL2 built on most host Common Lisps, you will see the string
[RAW LISP] in the prompt at a break, to emphasize that one is
inside a break and hence should quit from the break. For some host Common
Lisps, the top-level prompt also contains the string
See prompt for how to control printing of that string.
The most reliable way to return to the ACL2 top level is by executing the
following command:
). Appropriate cleanup will then be
done, which should leave you in an appropriate state.
However, you may be able to quit from the break in the normal Lisp manner (as
:q in GCL,
:reset in Allegro CL, and
q in CMU CL). If this
attempt to quit is successful, it will return you to the innermost ACL2
read-eval-print loop, with appropriate cleanup performed first. Note that if
you are within a
brr environment when the break occurs, quitting from
the break will only return you to that environment, not to the top of ACL2's
read-eval-print loop.

Scotch Mist Soy Wax Melts
Crisp Rosemary leaves uplifted by Cool Mint and Musky Heather, smoothed and enriched by gentle Cedar and Amber nuances. Scotch Mist Teaser Soy Candle is a shimmering, ozonic, airy fresh and bright, herbal fragrance and is a handmade and hand poured scented soy tea light.
Anne Makes Lovely Candles Scotch Mist Soy Wax Melts hold that much scent they allow you to choose whether to melt it in a warmer, use it to fragrance your linen cupboard or wardrobe, or to be used as solid potpourri to fragrance your room.
Get 6 melts and only pay for 5. Buy any 5 Soy Wax Melts
Soy Wax Melt
Our wax melts are designed for use in burners or electric wax melters. They DO NOT MIX with water.
We are often asked how long our melts last.
The answer varies due to the melting process and soy wax not burning like a candle. It all depends on your scent tolerance, size of your room and scent being released. Stronger scents could last a lot longer. It is only the scent that is released and will eventually evaporate, not the wax. Most customers average four or six 6 hr tea lights per melt.
When you are ready to change your wax and your wax has already solidified, place the bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes. The cold shrinks the wax and it will pop out easily, ready for your replacement.
Wait until your bowl is back to room temperature before using it again.
Be sure to always wash your oil burner inside and out between uses to reduce the risk of fire, this is most important if using paraffin tea lights.

We're sure you'll enjoy burning our pure soy wax candles, but as they are handmade using only natural soy wax, fragrance and colour, without other additives, they are quite different from the mass-produced paraffin wax candles available on the market.
Here is some additional information to help ensure you get the best from our products:
- Soy Candles can be damaged or discoloured by strong light sources such as sunlight or fluorescent light. They should therefore never be exposed to strong artificial light or sunlight.
- Soy wax is sensitive to fluctuations in temperature. It has a low melting point and can begin to soften or melt at temperatures above 25ºC. Soy candles are therefore best stored at room temperature, in a dry place and avoiding high temperatures. If they do begin to melt, it can help to move them to a cooler area, or wait until weather conditions change when they return to their original form.
- In warm conditions small droplets may appear on the top of the candle. This is normal and will not affect the burn quality of the candle.
- Soy candles may become cloudy or develop a pale frosted appearance at cold temperatures. This is a normal feature of soy wax and does not affect the performance of the candle. To avoid this, store soy candles at room temperature.
- Soy candles that are poured into glass may have areas where the wax appears not to be adhering to the glass. Again this is normal and is caused by temperature fluctuations which cause the wax to expand and contract.
- Finally...you may notice some slight variations in size, shape or finish of the candles or wax melts. These result from the fact that our products are individually handmade and are not produced on a mechanised production line. Each candle is therefore unique and these slight imperfections do not affect the burn quality or performance of the candle.
Advantages of soya wax candles:
- Soy waxes are 100% vegetable, and make a vegan soy candle.
- Soy wax is so pure it's certified food grade.
- Soy wax produces no carcinogens when burning.
- A non-toxic by-product of soya bean production.
- Little or "NO" soot is produced from burning soy, it will not discolour your walls or furniture with petroleum by-products.
- Soy wax is a renewable resource; petroleum, palm oil and beeswax are limited.
- Soy wax is biodegradable and also water-soluble (no messy clean-ups).
- Soy wax holds colour and scents better than paraffin. and last 50% longer than paraffin wax.
- All of the cosmetic-grade scent oils used in our soy candles are also suitable for a wide range of both leave-on and rinse-off bath and body products.
- The scent oils used are certified as skin safe and not tested on animals by the Scottish Perfumier we have trusted and used for years.
- Scent oils are manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 quality standards
**Please remember that to ensure your safety it is essential that you burn candles safely - use our safety information as a guideline.

A panel of seven people discussed the ethics of gun ownership at a forum Tuesday evening in Dawson Auditorium on the Adrian College campus.
The event, which was sponsored by the Adrian College Institute for Ethics, drew 148 members of the public.
The panel was composed of five members who supported gun rights and two who questioned them. That imbalance was the product of an unanticipated scheduling conflict and a cancellation, said Fritz Detwiler, director of the Institute for Ethics. The original plan was for a more evenly divided panel, Detwiler said.
Panel member Melissa Stewart, associate professor of philosophy and religion at Adrian College, opened the forum by recounting how she learned that the child of good friends was one of the children killed in the school shooting in December in Newtown, Conn.
At the request of her friends Jeremy Richman and Jennifer Hensel of Newtown, Stewart led the funeral service for the couple's child, Avielle Richman, who was 6 when she died.
Stewart recounted how she had been grading papers when she first heard of the Newtown shootings, and how she remained focussed on her grading, only casually following the Newtown events until she got the call telling her that her friends' child had died.
"I had to ask myself why didn't I care until I found out it was someone I knew," Stewart said.
Each panelist was asked to make a short opening statement. Tony Coumoundouros, Adrian College associate professor of philosophy and religion, who supported restricting firearms, said if the fundamental question is about preventing bodily harm and death, there needs to be an analysis of the costs and benefits of guns.
"Firearms have the highest damage co-efficient if you compare them to knives or bats and other kinds of weapons," Coumoundouros said.
Jamison Grime, superintendent of Montpelier Exempted Village Schools in Montpelier, Ohio, which decided to have some of its employees carry concealed guns, said that appeared to be the best means of protecting students. The decision to allow the concealed guns started with the school shooting in Chardon, Ohio, that killed three students in February 2012, Grime said. The decision was right for his community, he said.
"I don't necessarily believe that this is right for every community in America," Grime said.
Hillsdale College history professor David Raney said the right to defend oneself is as old as mankind, and he referred to the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" phrase in the Declaration of Independence.
"In order for these historical rights, such as the right to life, to mean anything, the right to protect that life must be upheld as well," Raney said.
Dave Coy, professor of accountancy and business administration at Adrian College and a member of the board of directors of the National Rifle Association, argued for the crime-deterrent effect of guns as well as the value of gun sports to the economy and for recreation. He also argued that they have a role in protecting government by the people.
"Privately owned guns are essential in assuring that we the people retain power," Coy said.
Lenawee County Sheriff Jack Welsh said he favors gun rights, but also said gun owners have a responsibility for the safekeeping of their weapons.
"The question here, as somebody else said, is where do you draw the line on what is allowed, and does drawing the line violate one's Second Amendment rights?" Welsh said.
Lansing area attorney Steven Dulan, who is on the board of directors of the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners, said protecting oneself and others by being armed is a moral duty.
"In my mind there's a moral and ethical duty for those who can to be armed," Dulan said.
Stewart, who was the other panel member to question how extensive gun rights should be, said she wanted to talk about the practicalities of whether gun ownership or restrictions are more useful for saving life.
"I actually don't know if the principal holding a gun could have saved Avielle's life," Stewart said.
The panelists talked for about an hour about the effectiveness of guns as a means of protection, the obligations of gun ownership, whether gun rights are absolute, the phrase "assault weapon," and other topics before taking questions from the audience.
After the forum, audience member Mark Nagy of Clinton said the discussion was good. He said he believes there should be more investigation before the government decides on any weapons bans.

Ten years later, the US still lives with the Neo-con's lies.
Each day more information reveals the lies of the Neo-Cons to deceive the American People and Congress to go to war in Iraq.
I well remember Colin Powell speaking to the UN about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and showing big closed trucks that he said contained moveable labs. At the time I was teaching a class of bright seniors in Leeds. I watched and listened carefullly. I felt Powell did not believe the words coming out of his own mouth, but he was a good soldier, and followed orders. I did not state my doubts, but asked the class what they thought.
Some critical thinkers did not believe General Powell. But I was saddened by how easily some of those boys were persuaded, and how enthusiastic they were to go to war. They did not think THEY would have to go.
Those who pushed for war, blamed the attacks on the Twin Towers on 9/11 on Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. It is now coming out that the Bush administration had been planning to attack Iraq prior to the destruction of the towers. But they appealed to American pride and decency by framing their desire for war as "regime change," as giving "freedom to the Iraqi people", as a "moral duty." Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the attack and was not developing WMD!
Rumsfeld had served in the Navy. Bush had disappeared from his National Guard Duty (AWOL?) Cheney had 5 or 6 deferrals during Nam. Condoleeza had no risk of being assigned military service. Wolfowitz never served. Why is it that those who have never been shot at are so quick to send others into harm's way?
Bush was an "oil man." Cheney was the owner of Halliburton. Now we learn fron International Business Times that Halliburton profited by 39.5 Billion from the invitation of Iraq! It is a good thing he got a heart transplant as he obviously needed one.
Congress was deceived to vote for this war. Techniques such as using a respected spokesperson (Powell), appeal to patriotism, and calliing the aggression "Shock and Awe" convinced some in America and Europe this invasion was a good idea. Now the truth is coming out, and it reveals the public was fooled by self-serving lies.
Voters need to do some critical thinking: asking questons, analyzing, checking facts. These self-serving liars would not get elected and misuse the power we give them, if we did not elect them.
There are many books that explain the true motives of the Neo-Cons. This weekend, MSNBC is showing a special, "Hubris" at 8:00 PM CST. Hubris is a fatal flaw, an innate characteristic that brings about the downfall of the person who has it. Many characters in literature had it: Macbeth, Oedipus, Gatsby, for example. It might be very educational to learn how the US got into this mess and how over 4,400 American lives were lost and trillions of our tax dollars blownup so that a few could make obscene profits. Just maybe we can learn and not be so gullible in the future.

Before my daughter turned 13, which is the unenforced age at which you are allowed to use Facebook, I warned her that the social media site was a time-sucker and brain-musher, a social assassin as much as a gigabyte group hug.
Friends had forwarded me cautionary Facebook conversations where teenage sweethearts, suddenly sour and in the midst of a breakup, eviscerated each other on their walls for all their "friends" to witness and weigh in.
One went something like what follows (names changed to protect identities they themselves didn't care to protect). Forgive them their spelling mistakes:
A lad we'll call Brad updates his status after a breakup to say he is single. Friends of his former girlfriend pile on. One girl writes, "You're immature by making this a Facebook status."
Brad defends himself. "This is none of your business. I'm allowed to say how I feel on Facebook am I not? Just because you don't like what I have to say doesn't make it immature. You've got lots of growing up to do
Another girl, more vicious, weighs in. "Grow up try being a man and not forcing a girl into sex ehh," she types.
Brad: "Your funny. I never forced her to have sex. I'm not like that. Think what you want of me. I don't care because I don't think of you."
More friends of his ex pile on, all claiming he'd forced her to have sex.
Brad becomes defensive: "I never did that. Think what you want like I said.
But the world would be better without people like you who don't take both sides of the story."
F-bombs fly as fast as their fingers over the keyboard.
"Go f— yourself," says one. Brad responds in kind: "Goodbye and f— you all."
One of Brad's friends urges him to retreat. "DRAAAAAAMAAAAAAA. Brad, delete the post before you embarrass yourself further. You're allowed to express how you feel, but airing your dirty laundry on the Internet is a bad idea. Anyone can see this sxxt."
Indeed. These kids are 16 and 17. I'd show these sorts of threads to my daughter, reading them out loud, hammering home that almost anyone can read this stuff. Teachers, school administrators, relatives, future employers.
Once posted, it can live on forever. We've recently read news stories about employers who have demanded to read a job candidate's Facebook profile, and a woman who was cut off disability for depression because her insurer saw her smiling in a posted picture. These worries held zero interest. She merely wanted to connect with chums.
And besides, everyone is on Facebook, she'd argue.
Many of her friends have been for years, making up fake birth dates. One is listed as being 21. Many current users she knows are eight or nine.
Seven and a half million users are below the minimum age of 13, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is considering doing away with the minimum age since it isn't working — purportedly for the purpose of "education," but more likely to track these prepubescents and make money off their likes and dislikes.
Many parents think Facebook is harmless fun. Lots of times, it is. But it's also where a lot of teens admit to being "totally wasted," "too drunk to walk," and where name calling and bullying occurs, in capital letters. So-and-so is gay. Someone else is a loser and doesn't deserve to live.
I wouldn't let my daughter drive a car without first teaching her how to drive. I wouldn't want her drinking without at least considering how to handle herself when she over-indulges. Although the use of social media isn't the same as driving a car or drinking, it does require a teen to learn the rules, and be old enough to understand them.
These all-consuming social networks encourage us to share stuff we would never reveal in conversation. And children often have no sense of what's appropriate to disclose. For many teens, the more friends you have, the cooler you are. This means they often add people they don't know in a race to get to 500 friends, or a thousand.
We sat down at the computer and together trolled Facebook. We easily accessed the profiles of preteens with no privacy guards, and clearly no sense of what to keep private.
One girl posted a gushy love note on the wall of a guy she likes. It belonged in her journal, or a private letter, not on a site where their combined 300 friends, and anyone who cared to look (neither had privacy settings), could see. Do her parents know that she was posting this mush? Do his? We found videos of tween girls in skimpy tank tops, talking about "hot" boys they wanted to "chill with." They'd posted these videos on the boys' walls. It was like a web-based Wild West.
With the new Facebook timeline, the stupid thing you did when you were a 12-year-old in 2012 lives on.
In many cases, the children's parents were not "friended" so there didn't appear to be any monitoring going on. It's a good bet that many parents don't even know their kids have a Facebook account. They're used at friends' houses or even at school. Forbidding the use of Facebook will likely lead to your child being on the outside looking in, but that doesn't mean you can't have a conversation about the potential consequences of signing up.
In the end, I caved, reasoning the draw is too strong. Without my approval, she'd set up a secret account, which would be worse.
My daughter's daily non-homework screen time — from all sources — is one hour. There's no laptop in her bedroom at night, or behind closed doors.
So within hours of turning 13, my daughter signed on to Facebook, but with some rules that hopefully will guide her.
She has spelled her first and last names differently, so she can't be easily searched. She has extreme privacy settings. And we've talked about what's more appropriate for a diary, and what goes on a wall for all to see.
After her first 40 friends, she friended me and other relatives. I've told her I'll check in once in awhile to see what's up.
And off she goes, with the reminder: "What happens on Facebook, stays on Facebook. Forever."

Hip replacement surgery can change the lives of people who have suffered through years of hip pain and discomfort. Surgery can relieve pain and increase mobility.
What Is a Hip Replacement?
The hip joint is a "ball and socket" joint in the upper portion of the femur (thigh bone). A diseased hip joint can cause extreme pain and limit mobility. A hip replacement is a surgical procedure that removes the degenerated hip joint and replaces both the ball and/or socket with artificial parts. The parts are usually anchored in the bone of the thigh and pelvis.
Who Should Get a Hip Replacement?
Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lack of blood supply to the bone, external trauma, joint infection, and bone tumors can lead to the breakdown of the hip joint. Before a hip replacement is performed, most people will try using non-surgical therapies, including canes and other walking aids, medications, and physical therapy. If these therapies fail to relieve pain and improve mobility in the hip joint, hip replacement surgery may be advised.
Choosing an Artificial Hip
In the past, some artificial hip joints weren't able to withstand large amounts of stress and strain and tended to wear down with constant activity. Today's versions are sturdier with better wear characteristics, making them suitable for more active people.
Artificial hips have 3 parts:
- The stem, which fits into the femur
- The ball, which replaces the head of the femur
- The cup, which replaces the damaged hip socket
The stem of most hip implants is made of metal alloys. The ball portions are made of metal or ceramic materials. In some artificial hips, the stem and ball are one piece. The socket can be made of metal, plastic, or a combination of both materials.
You and your doctor will choose an artificial hip that meets your individual needs. Factors to consider include your:
- Age
- Weight
- Bone quality
- Activity level
- Overall health
While hip replacements successfully relieve pain and restore movement, future surgery may be needed as the implant wears. The majority of implant devices last approximately 20 years before they require replacement.

non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 1)
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

1969 Topps StampsThis was Topps 3rd stamp issue in the last eight years and it was a good one !!! The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue . For a nickel you got a strip of twelve stamps plus a mini album. The 1969 Topps Stamps complete set contains 240 stamps. The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp. The stamps were released in both vertical and horizontal strips of 12 stamps. The 1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue. The 1974 Topps Stamps have ovals rather than banners at the bottom and were released only in 12-stamp horizontal panels.
Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set. To add even more collecting fun, the album's back cover had facsimile autographs of the ten players shown in the album.
The 1969 Topps Stamps set is packed with stars like Pete Rose along with tons of Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & many, many more !!!

Drew Perkins with the City of Santa Cruz reports that the next Pogonip workday will be Sunday, December 2nd. You don't have to have experience. Just know how to shovel dirt, rake leaves and follow directions. That's what I did and you can read about it here when I made my debut at trail work recently. Here's the story from my monthly Spin City cycling column. Keep reading for details on the next trail work day on Sunday, December 2. To make a donation to the trail, click here: https://www.wepay.com/donations/147116
"This trail will connect U-Con to Golf Club Drive and is designed to be a sustainable, beginner friendly, and fun way to get from downtown Santa Cruz to Henry Cowell, the upper UCSC Campus, and Wilder Ranch State Park. We had a great workday last Saturday with almost 30 volunteers and we have now logged over 2,000 volunteer hours for this project, awesome!" said Drew Perkins, the trail work organizer.
Meet at the bottom of the U-Con singletrack at 9 a.m. and working three to four hours. We will work rain or shine, but high winds may cancel due to safety concerns.
We will have a pizza lunch afterwards sponsored by Caletti Cycles. We will have very tasty coffee to get us started provided by Verve Coffee Roasters.
Please bring sturdy shoes, long pants, gloves, and water. Tools will be provided.
To make sure there are enough tools and pizza, sign up in advance at www.trailworkers.com.

Stanczyk has been trying to find someone to help him confirm that MAJOR (pronounced by my family in USA as My-Her and misspelled in USA as Meyer) was the Russification of the Biechow family name that has been in Biechow at least since the 1670's (as far as the record goes back) of Maicher/Maycher/Majcher. In fact the Maicherowich have married the Eliaszow for many years.
Now I have a good friend Jasek of Krakow (a native Pole) who has helped me with my genealogical research (since we both have family from the same ancestral villages). I first proposed to that ELIASZ = HELIASZ = ELIJASZ and after some time and mutual research he agreed with me. I said that ELIJASZ was just the Russification of ELIASZ due to Russian/Cyrillic transliteration. As I said, Jasek accepted my findings and blessed what he called this name "evolution".
So when I proposed that MAJOR=MAICHER/MAJCHER/MAYCHER and gave my reasons (i.e. no MAJOR before Russian Partition and no MAICHER after the Russian Partition, etc.). I was taken back by my friends, "Perhaps". If it is one thing I knew about the very polite Poles, is that they will not say you are wrong — unless they know you very well. So instead of a "I don't think so" or an outright, "I believe you are wrong", Jasek said, "Perhaps" in an unconvincing fashion that crushed my hopes.
So today as I was looking at microfilm images verifying the Priest names, I was looking at Biechow parish Marriage Record #4 from 1880. I was interested because, I saw the groom's name was MAJOR and I thought perhaps he was a brother to my great-grandmother (Aniela Major Leszczynska). So I looked at the record closely to see who the parents of JAKOB MAJOR were. Now when I did, I got excited, because I found the mom was Sofia Heliasz (always good to find those female relatives and their married names). I then noticed that the groom's father was Antoni MAJOR. I then tried to find a Sophia/Zofia Eliasz/Heliasz in my family tree in the appropriate era and see if I had one that married a Maicher. Lo and Behold, I had my long sought after proof.
I had a Zofia Eliasz married to Antoni Maicher and that they were born about 1814. So when I saw that their Jakob was age 39 in 1880 (implying birth about 1841, when the parents would have been about 27) and I saw that he was born in Piestrzec, the same village where the parents were married, his birth of 1841 is after the 1832 marriage date of the parents. I knew I had a match. Not only did I have MAJOR=MAYCHER, I also had a bonus of HELIASZ=ELIASZ [long since convinced of this]. Now this was significant as I had my first proof across the Russian language boundary to the pre-1868 Polish language days.
