Back from Guatemala
|Jessica being mobbed by 8th Grade girls
Well, we are back and life hasn't been the same. Since we've been back, our hearts and minds have been radically different. Jessica and I are encountering God in deeper ways with more freedom and joy and intimacy.
Our trip was amazing to say the least. We were a team of 21 students and 2 leaders. Our trip was pretty much non-stop, always in the van going to minister somewhere. We were asked to come to Guatemala by a church denomination called Verbo. They saw what God was doing in Ecuador through our leader, Chris Gore, and asked him to come and teach and minister at their churches in Guatemala. So our job was to teach and impart to the Verbo churches what we have learned about the Kingdom of Heaven.
I will go over some highlights because this update might get a little too long to tell of all the things we did.
- We ministered at about 6 different churches. Every church we went to and ministered at God moved in the miraculous. Many of the people at the meetings had fresh and intimate encounters with God. Sometimes they would fall down, sometimes they would cry or laugh, and sometimes they would fall and cry and laugh all at the same time! I asked a couple of the people that this happened to what was going on and they just said that God is so good and they were so in love with Him. Often we encounter God is very cerebral ways and that is great, but often we can encounter Him in such a way that it offends our very minds. We ask, "What is going on!?" I have found that it is through those "crazy" encounters that we sometimes have that God does the most open heart surgery and gives us the greatest breakthrough.
-In one meeting of at least 50 people, at least 25 people had pain or sickness. We asked for those seated around the sick or injured to lay hands on their friends and pray a quick simple prayer, "Be healed in the name of Jesus." (in Spanish). Every one of the people that were standing for healing prayer were healed that night. Best of all, the congregation got be the hands that God used that night, it wasn't US! They got the revelation that God loves them enough to partner with them to see the Gospel preached in miracles (JUST LIKE JESUS DID!).
-Jessica got to "stand up" on stage and give her testimony at one of the churches we went to. I say "stand up," because she was so under the influence of the Holy Spirit or "drunk" as the book of Acts would say, that she couldn't stand and needed a chair to finish her encouraging word over the people. That night many people were touched by God and many tears turned into laughter as dozens of Guatemalans got the revelation that they were the Joy of their Father's heart. Wouldn't that make you happy?! Jessica did amazing, I was so proud of her for being such a willing vessel for Papa's love.
- We ministered at 2 PUBLIC high schools (come on!) and I got to speak at one of them. Kids had radical encounters with Papa's love!
- We also got to spend 2 hours praying for the sick in a hospital. Too many healings to count. My favorite testimony was of a woman with paralyzed legs started wiggling her toes after prayer. The nurses saw it and shocked said, "Come with me." They lead our team members to the nurses station where a nurse with a slipped disc was in severe pain, waiting for surgery. They prayed and the pain completely left! One woman who was healed followed the team around the rest of the time praying for other sick patients. Death fleed every room we walked into!
-We got to go to Antiqua, a quaint town that attracts many tourist and locals needing a get-away. Although it was our day off, our team still got to see many people get healed and touched by the love of God. A few people even gave their lives to Jesus that day! This is what happens when you are a son or a daughter of God. This is normal Christianity; we were just walking our way through the shops and amazing cafes enjoying our son-ship.
-Some of the miracles we saw:
Teenager with retina problems got completely healed. Many people with partial or complete deafness were healed or had major breakthrough. Migraines healed. Lot's of painful necks were healed and sore or painful throats and necks were healed. Man with injured ankle got healed. One seven year old boy who Jess got to pray for have never run normally as his feet were crippled and he had to wear a leg brace. He got completely healed, his mom was weeping and the boy was RUNNING everywhere for the rest of the night! There were countless more healings and many many people were touched by the love of Jesus throughout our trip. A man, who didn't have a leg below his knee when home after being prayed for. He came back the next day and said that his leg had grown out a small amount!
- We also got to minister at 2 orphanages and love on the kiddos.
Here is an amazing testimony from Jessica:
At one of the orphanages we visited, I spotted a teenage girl quietly sitting by herself and decided to strike up a conversation. My Spanish only got me so far, so I grabbed our translator to sit and chat with us. Soon Brenda, who is sixteen, began to open up about her reason for being at the orphanage (she gave this information without us asking). It turns out she had just gotten there two days before and came straight from the hospital where her parents had forced her to abort her twin babies. Her parents did not want her back so she was sent there. My heart broke. She said, "Everyone is telling me to forget about it, but it's hard." Filled with compassion I asked if I could pray with her in private. She said she believed in Jesus and agreed. With the help of the translator I got to lead her through healing prayer. She did not want to forgive her parents but after explaining how forgiveness doesn't have to be felt, but that it is powerful in setting us free from anger and bitterness, she agreed to try. I had her repeat after me and she forgave them, even having the courage to say, "They don't owe me and apology." Now that is powerful forgiveness! When we were finished she let out a huge sigh and a smile came on her face for the first time. A weight had been lifted and her entire countenance looked different. I prayed with her more and got to talk with her about her babies, what their names would have been if they were boys or girls. I blessed her womb to bear the twins she desires when the time is right, and she thanked us profusely stating, "I never thought I would have friends like you." I told her if I came to Guatemala for her alone the trip would have been worth it. I left her with a letter of encouragement to keep forgiving and to always remember that God is with her every step of the way. Come on God!
- We also got to help out a church with an outreach to the city at a popular park/marketplace. We were there for a whopping 5 hours in the hot sun. We had a ton of fun though talking to people and blessing them. We did prophetic art, balloons and painted on the hands of the kids. We prayed and prophesied over dozens of people between our whole team of 13 that were there. I got to introduce a few young men to their Savior and see their countenance change before my eyes. So much joy was released that day and so many destinies were spoken over. Jessica got to prophesy over a group of teenage girls that were passing through on their way to school. All the girls were glued to the life giving words of Jesus through Jessica. One of the girls gave her life to Jesus right then, who knows when the rest of the girls will, but they ALL had their eyes open to how much God loves them!
Our goal of this trip was two-fold: To equip the Verbo churches with their identity as sons and daughters and all that goes with living from the full inheritance that is ours through Jesus. Second, was to bring God encounters to everyone we met. We were very excited when people gave their lives to Jesus but were also very excited to give people a love encounter with their Lover and Savior and if they wanted a relationship with Him right then, well then that is wonderful, but our only agenda was to love them right where their hearts were at.
So there were many more laughs and miracles and salvations but I can't remember them all. We want to thank those of you who prayed for us while we were gone and also a big thank you to those that sowed into us financially too, I pray you all get blessed in return for everything your poured out onto us! We are so thankful for a community of friends and family like you all. If after reading about all the amazing things God has done makes you excited and hungry for God to work in and through your life the same way or MORE, then set your heart on God and let Him know that you want to experience more of Him in EVERY WAY! I have learned to put a demand on heaven and I am not satisfied until I have all that Jesus paid for on the cross.
Abundant blessings and favor to you all!
Jesse and Jessica

Natural cures for constipation include pure olive oil, lemon and warm water, blackstrap molasses, coffee, and being mobile, according to Everyday Roots. Individual shoulds also consume fiber-rich foods such as potatoes, nuts, beans, berries, broccoli and apricots.
Pure olive oil is known for helping to stimulate the digestive system and preventing constipation, states Everyday Roots. A person should consume a tablespoon of olive oil each morning on an empty stomach. Lemon juice can be added to the oil to help with the taste.
Lemon also acts as a stimulant for the digestive system and flushes undigested material and toxins from the colon, notes Everyday Roots. It's best to consume one fresh lemon mixed with a cup of warm water to relieve constipation.
Blackstrap molasses contains vitamins and minerals, such as magnesium, which can aid with constipation, according to Everyday Roots. A teaspoon of molasses can be consumed by itself or mixed with either tea or warm water to dilute the taste.
Coffee is a natural diuretic that can aid in digestion when consumed in one or two cups, states Everyday Roots. Drinking too much coffee can have the opposite effect and dehydrate the body, which can harden stool.
Fiber can't be digested in the body, and it swells in the digestive system, which helps to soften stool, notes Everyday Roots. Some types of fiber can actually cause the stool to harden, which is why a person should drink water while eating fiber-rich foods.

In Carr's sequel, a woman struggles to keep her family safe in the middle of a centuries-old battle between two secret societies.
Carr (The List, 2013) continues the story of Wallis Jones, who's still in the crosshairs of two secret societies that have been fighting for power for hundreds of years: Management and the Circle. The early part of the story centers on the search for the legendary Keeper, a person of mysterious significance for both organizations. The Keeper may be Wallis, or her son, Ned; either way, Wallis and her family aren't safe. Wallis' brother-in-law, released from a basement prison, abducts Ned and brings him to a Circle meeting, where he's introduced as a savior and hailed by many Circle members as their best hope. Soon, an attempt on Wallis' life leads to tragedy, and tensions increase as various parties try to keep themselves safe and hidden, and also find the Keeper once and for all. There are many characters at play here, all with dubious allegiances, which adds to the book's thrilling pace. However, this fact can make it hard for readers to keep track of who everyone is, and who is loyal to whom. Also, this is the second book in a series; as such, the first several chapters make reference to events from the first book, and this repetition bogs the story down instead of placing readers back in the action. Overall, it's not recommended for those who haven't read The List. As a part of an ongoing series, however, it works both as a political thriller and as a story about a mother trying to do her best for her son.
An intriguing, family-oriented take on the political thriller.

I'm facing an issue with the indexing.
I have 1 WFE+Index server+DB server.
Index server is not installed with MS FIlter pack 1.0
When crawling, the there will be document with warning in crawl log:
The file reached the maximum download limit. Check that the full text of the document can be meaningfully crawled.
Documents that with warning are such as doc, ppt, xls, docs, ppts and many others.
However, I view into the successful crawled document, there are doucments with ext doc and ppt.
For large file index, there are MaxGrowthFactor + MaxDownLoadSize required to be added into the index server.
As my understanding is, MS Filter Pack should installed into index server(already did, correct me if i'm wrong).
I looked into the Office SharePoint Seach(CA>Services in farm), if the server is appointed to "Use this server as indexing server", then MS Filter Pack is suppose to be installed into that particular server as well.
At the bottom, there also has another option is "Use all web front end for crawling".
The question here is, IF the option "Use all web front end for crawling" is selected.
Does the WED FRONT END Server required to installed the Ms Filte

àIôm currently programming a web search application in ASP.Net and having problem with full text searching. My requirements are:
1. Save a byte array from SQL server to word document as a temp file in a server side?
2. How to highlight the string I am currently searching in the Word document and return to the user the sentence with the highlighted string (like on Bing or any other search engines)? Is it possible to fullfill this requirement with full-text search integrated in SQL Server 2008?
Thanks in advance,Regards,
In my SSRS 2008 log file, in few starting lines I see these lines;
INFO: Reporting Services starting SKU: Enterprise
resourceutilities!ReportServer_0-3!1874!10/05/2010-13:32:29:: i INFO: Maximum memory limit is 2097152Mb
What does it mean by maximum memory limit is 2097152Mb?
I have set the maximum memory limit for SSRS to 5 GB.
I cannot find any way to do it.
I also asked on Stack Overflow.
I have an asp.net application running on a web farm that allows users to upload files and download them later via link to that file. Currently, I use Windows DFS to replicate the local IIS directory where the files are stored across the web farm servers. However, as this solution does not scale out, I want to implement a more scalable solution by partitioning the documents. Specifically, say I set up multiple file storage servers (Fs1, Fs2, Fs3, etc.) on the network. Further, let's say I change my upload page to save the uploaded file to one of the file storage servers on the local LAN (based on some logic). I assume so far I am safe with ASP.NET doing this much assuming I have the correct permission for the ASP.NET process ID. The question I have is with regards to download links. When a user gets served a download link to their document (e.g. http://www.testco.com/data/doc1.txt) is there a way for me to "intercept" that HTTP request and underneath the covers server the doc1.txt from the file storage server (e.g. Fs2) it resides on? Any sample code would be appreciated. Thanks.
hi all
i am doing a page to sell files online
the paying method is by a card or bank account and the customer is not registered to the site so i want to make sure that the customer has downloaded the file successfully after that the system completes the payment operation

I have the following subroutine in an asp.net application class. The subroutine writes data to a text file upon application login. My question is that if this function was called at the same time by two different users would it cause any kind of error. Is there a need for a try catch?

If Not File.Exists(strLogFile) Then swLog = New StreamWriter(strLogFile) Else swLog = File.AppendText(strLogFile) End If
swLog.WriteLine(strLogMessage) &nbs

It was early morning when the people came to Jesus on the grassy mountainside. They were fishermen and farmers who were used to getting up early. They sat quietly listening to Jesus as the dark sky began to grow bright with the rising sun.
Jesus knew these people were not educated. Some could not read at all. They had never studied in the famous schools of the country. But they knew a lot about nature. Every day they learned about the wind and sun, animals, and plants, mountains and rivers. So Jesus talked about things they understood.
He lifted His face to the bright shining sun. Then He looked at His disciples — the 12 apostles He had chosen, and the many other men, women, boys and girls who believed in Him.
"You are the light of the world," He said to them.
He looked at the hills around Him. Here and there a small village gleamed white in the morning sun.
"A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." The people looked at the hill towns and nodded their heads.
"No one lights a lamp and puts a basket over it," He continued. "They put it on a candlestick to light the whole house."
Most of these people were very poor and lived in houses that had only one room. A candle set on a stand in the middle of the room gave light to the whole family.
Then Jesus told His disciples and those gathered around Him what to do. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16
The Bible says Jesus is the true Light. We are to let His light shine in us. We don't have to work hard to make the light shine, any more than we have to work hard to be pure and righteous.
If we love Jesus, if we let His love and His Word fill our hearts, the light of His life and love will shine out in all we say and all we do.
Jesus wants us to light the whole world. That means everyone, rich or poor, famous or ordinary, healthy or sick, no matter what color or religion or nationality.
When we are filled with Jesus' light, we will love a homeless person as much as a doctor or famous actor. We will love the most unpopular kid in school as much as the president of the student council.
Our kindness to everyone—will show Jesus' light to all who know us.
We shine for Jesus when we refuse to use drugs or do other things to harm the bodies He gave us. We shine for Jesus when we visit lonely people in nursing homes, when we adopt a grandparent or become a Big Brother or Big Sister.
We can cheer sad people by taking time to talk with them. We can give food or clothes or toys to someone who doesn't have enough.
When the light of Jesus' love is in us, He will help us to be cheerful and thoughtful of others, even when we are going through bad times of our own. He will help our light to shine all the time, not just when we are having a good day.
Then, when we tell people Jesus loves them, they will know it is true. They will know He has sent us to make their lives brighter. They will see and welcome His light that shines from us.
The light of love is much better than the darkness of a selfish heart. It makes us happy and it makes others happy. It spreads from person to person, just like a fire spreads from tree to tree. Selfishness darkens the world, but the light of Jesus' love brings brightness to everyone around.
The first chapter in the Bible mentions light many times. Can you find three verses with "light" in them? Job 22:28 tell where a light will shine when we obey God. King David wrote about light in the Psalms. The longest chapter in the Bible tells about God's light. Read Psalm 119:105-130. John called Jesus the true Light. Read John 1:4-9.
Our Treasure Chest Verse is what Jesus told His disciples:
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." Matthew 5:14

ANDRÃo/oo IDZIKOWSKI
The local Mercedes salesmen must be doing a slow burn now that the SRT-6 version of the Crossfire is going to hit the streets. The Crossfire has always been rakishly good-looking, with taut, sporty handling, but it needed more power under the hood to make it truly exciting. That's all been fixed by the supercharger and its extra 115 horsepower. The sales guys at the Chrysler store now have a great-looking coupe, or convertible, that runs like a sprinter and costs two to six grand less than the Benz products. One word of advice to Chrysler: Lose the big wing on the back. It's tacky-looking, and it only muddles the Crossfire's sleek and elegant profile.
Cult-car alert! Twenty years from now, the SRT-6 will be one of those scarce machines that will command a prominent location at concours across the country. Just consider its exotic concept-car-derived styling, its Mercedes-based mechanical bones, and its outstanding acceleration, handling, and braking. Unfortunately, although the SRT-6's performance neatly splits the difference between a 350Z and a Corvette C5, its sticker price is near the Vette's. Furthermore, this performance comes only with an automatic gearbox. Customers attracted to this feature will not likely appreciate the SRT's firm ride. In other words, the SRT-6 is destined to be a rare bird.
I want to know what happened to the 19 horsepower that didn't make the jump over to Chrysler's SRT-6. Just because the engine isn't in a Mercedes, it automatically has to lose power? I remember fondly the closely related full-powered, 349-hp SLK32 AMG, primarily because it was scary fast. The SRT-6's 330 horsepower is nothing to sneeze at, but stomp on the accelerator through the kickdown switch, and it just doesn't fly at other cars' rear ends the way the SLK32 did. Perhaps it was the larger wheels, or the green engine in our test car, but with the rest of the vehicle so uncompromised, you don't expect to make any concessions.

We are Thinking Differently at Van Meter!
For this project, we were given the charge to create a project for ISTE's technology committee.
I used Prezi for our project about technology and how it is changing at Van Meter. I used Prezi because it is a really easy and fun tool. It is neat because it is kind of like a Power Point, but more interesting.
I think the biggest change that technology is causing at Van Meter is all the new people we are connecting with and the new ways of learning.
Check out my project here!

SOUTH BEND - Another long drought without a field goal, this one for almost 13 minutes, put Notre Dame in an almost impossible situation Saturday. Almost, but not quite. Down by 13 points at halftime, the Irish women battled back and had a 3-point lead, 58-55, when South Florida's Ezria Parsons heaved in a game-tying 3-point shot with 2.2 seconds to play in regulation at the Joyce Center. Then another 3-pointer, this one by Jessica Jackson with 2:12 remaining in overtime, broke a 62-62 tie and steered the Bulls to a 68-64 Big East overtime victory over the Irish. Notre Dame dropped to 12-7, including 3-5 in the league. South Florida is 14-7 and 4-4. The Bulls pulled it off despite losing both starting guards, Rachel Sheats and Shantia Grace, on fouls midway through the second half. "There's so much pressure on Megan Duffy to do it all," said a tearful Notre Dame coach, Muffet McGraw. "We need someone else to step up. I thought Lindsay (Schrader) and Charel (Allen) played well today. We have to stop digging ourselves such a big hole every game. "I wasn't confident going into overtime, I thought we had it won in regulation. Our post players just cannot score. Every 3-point shot they (USF) made (eight of them) was because somebody made a mistake." In the two most recent games before Saturday, the Irish had no field goals in 11 minutes at Rutgers, and one in 10 minutes at Georgetown. Duffy led all scorers with 25, including 10-for-13 at the free throw line. The three missed free throws, including one that carried a bonus, were uncharacteristic for her. Her consecutive streak ended at 23 when she missed her second attempt. South Florida's Jessica Dickson, the nation's leading scorer with a 23.8 average, was five under her average with 18. But she was 4-for-4 in overtime at the free throw line, including two with 20 seconds to play that gave the visitors a 67-64 lead. This time Duffy couldn't get a good look, and missed a wild 3-pointer before ChiChi Okpaleke added the final point with half a second to play. Two Duffy free throws with 24.2 seconds left in regulation gave Notre Dame a 58-55 lead. The Irish were one defensive stop from a victory. Parsons, 2-for-9 on 3-pointers all season, obviously was not South Florida's first choice to take the game-tying shot. "We didn't need a three,'' said South Florida coach Jose Fernandez. "We wanted to get the ball into Nalini Miller, then foul. If we needed a three, we were going to Dickson.'' But Parsons got the job done with 2.2 seconds remaining. Jackson, who hit the tie-breaking 3-pointer in overtime, may not have even been on the court had not Sheats and Grace fouled out with 10:26 and 10:05 to play respectively. "Jackson has been in and out of the doghouse all year, she's been deep in there,'' said Fernandez. "And we're not a deep team." Notre Dame was in trouble from the start. Two baskets by Grace and one by Parsons fired the Bulls to a 7-0 lead in barely two minutes. Courtney LaVere scored first for the Irish with 17:18 to go in the half. A Duffy 3-pointer with 8:51 to go cut the Bulls' lead to 20-18. That turned out to be Notre Dame's last field goal until 15:56 remained in the game _ a blank stretch of 12 minutes and 55 seconds. Down 34-21 at the half, the Irish had lots of opportunities. USF went 13 possessions of the second half without scoring, missed its first 11 shots and didn't get a point until an Opkaleke free throw with 14:29 to play. USF's lead was only one point, 39-38, after a Duffy 3-pointer with 11:10 to go. Jackson quickly answered with a trey. The Irish kept up the pace, and went ahead for the first time, 47-46, on a Duffy left-handed drive with 6:23 remaining. There were seven more lead changes the rest of the way. After two Schrader free throws and a USF turnover, Notre Dame had the ball and a 3-point led, 53-50, with 3:18 left. But a turnover and a missed shot by Breona Gray were both turned into USF baskets and a 54-53 USF lead. LaVere made one of two with 1:57 left to tie it a 54. Dickson hit one of two free throws at 1:42, but Crystal Erwin made two with 42 seconds left and Notre Dame had a 56-55 lead. Duffy made two more at :24.1 for a 58-55 lead, but Parsons' 3-pointer tied it at 2.2. Notre Dame twice had the lead in overtime on baskets by Schrader and Allen, but couldn't hold on. Duffy and Dickson both played the full 45 minutes. Duffy pushed her career point total to 1,127 and moved into 17th place on the Notre Dame scoring chart ahead of Danielle Green.

I want to introduce you to my dear friend, Ruth, and to share her story with you. Ruth had been one of my high school teachers and was my cheerleading coach for a couple seasons. I never imagined that several years later, we would endure similar life challenges that would bring us together as friends.
Back when we lost our son, Andrew, I found myself in a very dark place. At that time, Bible verses weren't a comfort to me, and (frankly) it frustrated me the more people kept sending me verses. I was trying so hard not to be angry with God, and though people meant well, that gesture just made me more angry. During that time, Ruth messaged me.
We hadn't talked in years, so I was kind of surprised by hearing from her. What she said in her message helped me in so many ways. She shared her story with me. She too had lost a son through pregnancy loss, and she went on to describe the feelings that I was feeling at that very time. She related to me and reached out in the most tangible way she could. I truly think that her reaching out to me is what helped dispel my anger towards God.
Ruth has since become a great friend and dear mentor to me. She and her family have endured a lot of loss, but God continues to be faithful. I asked her if she would mind sharing her story on my blog. I feel like her story could help so many people. She obliged and took the time to write out the journey God has allowed their family to go through. Here is her (their) story . . . Continue reading

"Ultimately, the only mandate in the design of logos, it seems, is that they be distinctive, memorable, and clear."
With a portfolio that includes logos for ABC (America), UPS, NeXT, IBM and Westinghouse, Paul Rand has been described as "the greatest living graphic designer".
Rand used a variety of techniques such as painting, collage, photography, typography and montage. This combination of elements produced a distinctive and modern visual image.
In his book, Design, Form and Chaos, 1993, Rand shared "some thoughts and despair about the design of a logo".
"A logo is a flag, a signature, an escutcheon, a street sign. A logo does not sell (directly), it identifies. A logo is rarely a description of a business. A logo derives meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around.
A logo is less important than the product it signifies; what it represents is more important than what it looks like."
Rand explains that the quality of logo is tied to the quality of the company it represents.
"If a company is second rate, the logo will eventually be perceived as second rate. It is foolhardy to believe that a logo will do its job immediately, before an audience has been properly conditioned."
"Surprising to many, the subjectmatter of a logo is of relatively little importance, and even appropriateness of content does not always play a significant role."
"Ultimately, the only mandate in the design of logos, it seems, is that they be distinctive, memorable, and clear."

Having just been fired and dumped by his wife, life couldn't possibly be worse for independent artist GORDON HAUGE (Mark Redfield)--until he wrecks his car and finds himself in purgatory that is. Once there, he is attacked by fanatic Shadowmen and legions of Ragmen--souls being enslaved and bent to some dark purpose. Gordon is rescued by an eccentric band of freedom fighters, people from different times of history who lost their lives in noble sacrifice. They recruit the reluctant and befuddled Gordon and set off on a wild adventure through the surreal landscapes of purgatory to battle the Despiser--an evil being who now reigns in this seemingly God-abandoned halfway house north of hell and south of heaven. Dealing with shifting reality, annoying monsters, armies of Ragmen and hair-raising car chases across bridges spanning oceans of lava our heroes battle their way to the dark macabre fortress of the Despiser.

Leviticus 21:16-24 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17 Speak to Aaron and say: No one of your offspring throughout their generations who has a blemish may approach to offer the food of his God. 18 For no one who has a blemish shall draw near, one who is blind or lame, or one who has a mutilated face or a limb too long, 19 or one who has a broken foot or a broken hand, 20 or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or a man with a blemish in his eyes or an itching disease or scabs or crushed testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to offer the Lord's offerings by fire; since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the food of his God, of the most holy as well as of the holy. 23 But he shall not come near the curtain or approach the altar, because he has a blemish, that he may not profane my sanctuaries; for I am the Lord; I sanctify them. 24 Thus Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the people of Israel.

The House of Saturn chantry was build in 1844, August 7th.
Heart of chantry was of a child, the son of a cowboy and former mage.
It is likely the former selves of the House of Saturn killed the child and took his heart for the chantry.
A vampire, Porsha, allowed him to take revenge on the Sons of Saturn.

Idea bookTuesday, July 25th, 2006
Well, the summer doldrums are in full force, and it's hard to find the time to blog. I still have lots of ideas, but between vacations, family, and a real job (I can hear you laughing out there), I don't really have the time to develop any of them.
I recently found an "Idea Book" that Louisa and I used while we were traveling around the world. Inside the front cover it says "Hanoi, Viet Nam, August 2000". I find it fascinating to peruse, particularly since a number of the ideas have since become technologies in general use. For example, I had the idea of allowing readers to add links to a page, with two variations: actually editing the page (with admin permission) to insert the links, or browser-side with "sticky notes" that only the author can see. The first is basically Wikis, and the second is Mystickies or Diigo.
Since we were traveling at the time, and updating our site Shields Around the World from random internet cafes was a laborious process, the first idea was a travel journal site. Now, of course, there's TravelPod and TravelJournals and quite a few others, but at the time there weren't any good ones that we could find. The main idea we had that isn't quite as well developed yet was the GPS integration, so it's easy to see on a map where you are. We also wanted to mine emails from travelers for recommendations. I won't take the time to write up a recommendation of a place just because we visited it. But if a friend emails and asks "how is this place?" I'll definitely write back with some impressions. If those could be captured automatically, that would be incredibly valuable.
The book lists some fairly generic thoughts, like delivery of ads to PDAs via Bluetooth, and other Bluetooth ideas captured in a previous post, Bluetooth World. I'll try to list some more ideas in later posts.

The last tenant of 214 Green Bay Road was Gabe's Backstage Lounge, owned by Gabe Viti (who also owned the plush Gabriel's down the block). But now a new team has taken over the space, and it's a transformation.
When I walked into Ballaro, I was impressed by how new owners Josh Kaplan (the son of legendary local restaurant critic Sherman Kaplan) and lifelong friend Mark Newman, both Highland Park natives, have reinvented the space which features a more approachable brand of Italian food. They call it "contemporary Italian rooted in tradition," and there's plenty here to crave.
A Space Transformed
The space has been taken down to its original brick walls, the drop ceilings removed to reveal an airy space with both single bulb and high track lighting that feels a lot more like Brooklyn or the West Loop than Highwood. A gorgeous old-world wood bar dominates the two-story front room, with inviting backlit rows of liquor bottles; floor-to-ceiling windows look east onto Green Bay and fill the room with sunlight or the hazy glow of streetlights depending on the time of day. A large back room provides space for larger groups and private dining.
Kaplan is an acclaimed cocktail wizard and sommelier; that's evident at a glance from the beverage offerings. Order a well-balanced cocktail like the North Shore Gin & Tonic ($9) or the Hunky Dory ($11), made with Four Roses bourbon, apple-spice syrup, fresh lemon juice and creamy egg white — basically, autumn in a glass — while perusing the menu. And a shout-out to the wine list — it's dominated by Italian wines, the vast majority of which are under $50, and at least half are under $40, a welcome trend.
Take a Tour of Italy
Chef Newman once cooked his way across Italy; his affinity for the cuisine is evident, his inspiration found in Sicily, Sardinia, Tuscany and Calabria. His Minestrone al Forno ($9) contained plenty of cannellini beans and vegetables in a tomato-based broth, topped with a fresh mozzarella crostini and shavings of earthy Parmesan cheese, a lovely wintry warmer.
Fried Octopus ($10) takes a different tack than the usual presentation, the octopus (both body and tentacles) dredged in rice flour and cooked to tender perfection and paired with chunks of fried fingerling potatoes and tomato fuso (a thick tomato sauce, literally, "tomatoes melted down"), salty fried capers and a drizzle of parsley oil.
The ubiquitous winter beets get a different dance partner at Ballaro in the form of pink grapefruit sections, crisp celery and cucumber, peppery arugula and über-creamy Robiola cheese, all tossed with a slightly sweet, vaguely Asian dressing containing toasted sesame seeds. It's billed as a Seasonal Greens Salad ($10); I assume it will have a different cast in the spring.
Our favorite appetizer was the Crispy Eggplant ($11), which just screams with Southern Italian flavors. It's got the interplay of sweet (chunks of fresh honeycomb) and heat (fresh tomato sauce laced with Calabrian chile), and the textural contrast of crunchy-crusted eggplant with dollops of creamy herbed ricotta cheese.
Carb Loading
Pasta and risotto thoughtfully come in both starter and entrée sizes, especially welcome to those of us who are counting carbs. The al dente Risotto ($15/$22) teemed with plump, wild Gulf shrimp and little nubbins of preserved lemon; it was a bit under-seasoned, but a sprinkle of salt helped. Wide Pappardelle ($12/$18) noodles provided a sturdy base to a rich short rib Bolognese sauce and a glorious amount of shaved Parmesan, though we wished for a more substantial amount of meat.
Entrées included a lovely roasted Amish Chicken ($19) dish, the skin-on airline breast perched on a pool of soft polenta, surrounded by roasted peppers and cippolini onions and tomato sauce studded with little chunks of pancetta, a reimagined cacciatore. The Scottish Salmon ($24), another winning dish, was Newman's nod to a Venetian sweet-and-sour fish preparation, with the beautifully pan-sautéed, skin-on salmon complementing the sweet, earthy notes of root vegetable ragù, celery root purée and melted leeks, balanced by the sharper mustard agrodolce and pickled mustard seeds. The sauce leaned a bit sweet, but still paired well with the 2008 'La Praielle' Barbera-Uva Rara ($42). Sides of fresh ricotta-creamed spinach and spicy, garlicky Brussels sprouts ($5 each) quickly disappeared.
If you've saved room for dessert, I'd recommend the Chocolate Banana Crunch ($9), a triptych of rich chocolate desserts, including a ganache-covered mini-cake, chocolate gelato and a roasted banana pudding topped with bits of shaved chocolate and chopped meringue. We liked the presentation of the Ricotta Cheesecake ($9) (with caramel and Amarena cherries) more than its flavor.
Our table service was spotty, but the greeting was warm, and all the tables around us seemed quite content with the food, as were we. Now that I've discovered Ballaro, I'm bound to return.

BURBANK, Calif. — Officials at Brazzers have acknowledged that 800,000 website accounts have been exposed in a data breach.
The hack, first reported by Motherboard today, has caused company officials to temporarily close the porn site's message board site.
At post time, Brazzers Forum is down and displays an "under construction" message.
At Brazzers Forum, which uses a separate URL from the main site, users discuss Brazzers porn scenes and stars, among other topics.
Matt Stevens, public relations manager from Brazzers, which is operated by MindGeek, told Motherboard that the breach "matches an incident which occurred in 2012 with our Brazzers Forum, which was managed by a third party."
"The incident occurred because of a vulnerability in the said third party software, the 'vBulletin' software, and not Brazzers itself," Stevens said.
"That being said, users' accounts were shared between Brazzers and the Brazzers Forum, which was created for user convenience. That resulted in a small portion of our user accounts being exposed and we took corrective measures in the days following this incident to protect our users," Stevens said.
Motherboard said it was alerted to the breach by Vigilante.pw, which includes a database directory on hacks.
Stevens said that the breached data provided contains "many duplicates and non-functional accounts."
As a result, Stevens said, "We banned all non-active accounts in that list in case those usernames and passwords are re-used in the future. Brazzers takes the privacy and safety of its users very seriously."

The Amazon Fire tablets for kids aren't particularly known for getting involved with the discounts on Black Friday compared to the regular tablet deals. But we're seeing some fantastic summer deals today on the latest versions that released a few months back.
Both the All-New Fire 7 Kids Edition and All-New Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablets have been reduced to their cheapest prices yet.
The 16GB Fire 7 Kids Edition has had $20 knocked off, bringing the price down to just $79.99, meaning it's the cheapest price yet since Amazon re-released the 7-inch child-friendly tablet earlier this year.
Alternatively, there's a $30 saving on the 32GB All-New Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet. So for just $99.99 you're getting the child-proof tablet with a larger screen, plus it has a HD display. This $30 saving is also the biggest since the new tablet's launch earlier this year.
The Fire Kids Edition tablets in Amazon's popular range of budget screens are incredibly sturdy pieces of kit. That thick rubber cover is fixed on permanently for reliable protection on all sides and the rear of the device. It sticks out on the front too, so the tablet should survive drops from all angles.
Amazon is clearly very confident of the durability of the tablets, as there's a 'no questions asked' two year guarantee covering any problems. So if your kid breaks any of these tablets, Amazon will replace them for free – the tablet, not your destructive spawn.
There are lots of built-in parental controls, ensuring a safe web-browsing experience and child-friendly video selections. You can even set bedtime curfews or block off game access until they've finished their homework or chores. There's also a year of free access to Amazon FreeTime, a service packed with digital books, games and video content aimed at children.
If you're not too bothered about all the child-proofing elements, or fancy an Amazon tablet deal of your own, check out our regularly-updated Amazon Kindle and Fire Tablet deals page.

Ellen DeGeneres is the most famous talk show host on the television. She has the most famous celebrities and the funniest performers. One key player in her show is bringing on amazingly hilarious or talented children. Since Ellen doesn't have any children of her own, she loves to bring kids on and take them as her own inviting them back frequently to catch up. She sends them on fun vacations and spoils them with elaborate gifts. She makes these children Internet sensations and the audience loves it. Check out some of Ellen's favorites!
Meet Balang.
This kid comes all the way from the Philippines where he was found by Ellen's team after becoming an internet sensation from dancing to the song 'Bang Bang'. I don't know about you but I freaking love watching a chubby kid show off some moves. His style is on fleek.
Meet Noah Ritter.
APPARENTLY you've probably already heard of this kid. Apparently he loves his grandpa more than any other family member. Apparently his bff is Ellen's production assistant. Apparently Ellen sends him on multiple vacations. Apparently he loves pizza. Apparently he hates hotel televisions because they don't have cartoons. Apparently he has met multiple celebrities. Apparently he's obsessed with dinosaurs. Apparently the world loves him because he makes you laugh and is on the show every few weeks. Apparently.
Meet Macey.
She's the next aspiring President of the United States and she wants to be on the 10 dollar bill. I'd say she is very impressive for a five year old and she can put your presidential knowledge to shame. She knows about every president and even has a little jingle to remember them all. She's been to the White House now thanks to Ellen saying it was 'the best day ever'. Oh, and her favorite color is blue. She's so cute.
Meet Elias.
Always spastic and unpredictable and you can tell on Ellen's face. He just really loves Ellen so I'm sure he thinks it's normal to hop up and give her a hug in the middle of a conversation. He has super long hair and Ellen does notice that he has yet to cut it. He's also a fiend when it comes to play the piano. It's his lucky gift and it's undeniably cool.
Meet Zony & Yony.
They don't speak a lick of English but they have smiles for days. Super cute and definitely in-sync. They always have matching costumes and have that weird twin telepathy. They really love American music and Ellen loves to just watch their facial expressions because they never stop smiling. They love chocolate and refrain from anything more than a smile when Ellen gives them gifts. They just get bigger smiles. And then dance.
Meet the Lucky Aces.
I don't think I've ever seen kids who are more talented at hip hop dance. LIKE WOW. Ellen made their wishes come true when she gave them tickets to Ariana Grande's concert but Ariana took it one step further by spending the entire day with them as well as inviting them to dance with her on stage not only once but twice. One with her back up dancers and one as their own solo performance! That's so cool. For kids who learned the choreography in one day, you'd be shocked at how perfect it is. Future choreographers in the making for sure!
Meet the 'Exasperating' Kid.
He's pissed. Why? Because his mom is having another child and he's very irritated about it. He feels that his parents are going to replace him when they already have enough with having two kids. He's very curious to know if he's getting a brother or sister but he definitely doesn't want a brother because boys cry more. His mom said he hates when babies cry and he kind of knows what the word 'exasperating' means but he says he pulled it out of his head.
Meet Heaven and Heaven's Mom.
They've now been on the show twice and it's amazing what dancing can do to a person in a year. Heaven and her mom are absolutely adorable as they dance to Beyoncé. Ellen was nice to give them tickets to Beyoncé's show as well as gave Heaven her very own butterfly costume. There is nothing more awe worthy than watching mother and daughter bonding.
Meet Kai.
He gives a blank stare but is extremely complimentary of Ellen. He loves to give up and start singing Bruno Mars because that's his favorite artist. Ellen even paired up Kai and Bruno Mars but Kai was so star struck that he didn't initiate any fan-girling until Bruno finally hugged him. Adorably, Kai gave Ellen her a bracelet to seal the deal. Bored? Just watch Kai stand up, shut his eyes super hard, and clench his hands, and listen to him sing fake words to the pop songs we all love. Television gold.
Meet Sophia Grace & Rosie.
THE original child guests that became Ellen's new pitch. They were the first two to become the internet sensations that became a habit of Ellen to bring on child guests. Everyone was obsessed with them. Sophia Grace being the big personality while Rosie was super quiet yet the ditzy blonde. They were the childhood stars of 2014 on Ellen as Ellen paraded them all over the place. They were British and fun and Sophia Grace eventually ditched Rosie to get her own music video. Super Bass really got them in the news!
Meet Tayt.
Ellen's only boyfriend and this kid has a heart of gold. He needed a new heart and is the next on the list to be receiving a heart! Ellen adores him and she always sits with him in her chair. She has given him and his family thousands of dollars to cover medical expenses and there isn't another kid that Ellen loves more. He will be her date to the premiere of 'Finding Dori' in 2016. I LOVE ELLEN (But Tayt loves her more!!!).

If you've decided to look at places to live in Williamsburg, then you better start your search early. Apartment rentals are highly sought-after here, and they can be expensive, so you might have to look long and hard for apts to rent. That shouldn't stop you, though, since rental properties here are lovely, and once you find a place you like, you'll surely be happy calling it home. Before you move to Williamsburg, prepare yourself to apply for an apartment. It might seem counter-intuitive to prepare for an application before you even decide if there' s a good home there, but it's important if you want to snag a home of your dreams. Since property is highly sought-after, you'll probably have to fight for some great places with other potential renters, so the sooner you're ready to apply and take an apartment off the market, the better! What you'll need for a rental application includes bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, a letter of employment, and anything else you can gather that might convince a potential landlord you'll always pay your rent on time. Also, be prepared to put a deposit down on an apartment you like. You'll want to save money for this deposit because it's the only way to take a place off the market and it can be as much as three times the monthly rent. Make sure to check with individual management companies when you set up appointments to see apartments because you'll want to make sure you come financially prepared!
Another important part about moving to a new place is finding the right neighborhood. Do you want somewhere quiet or busy? Somewhere convenient or remote? Once you decide what's important to you, then you can narrow down the area of your housing search. If you want to know more about neighborhoods in Williamsburg, then check out the list below. It contains information that can help you determine where you should look for a house in your new town.
Williamsburg: The northern part of Williamsburg, often referred to as the true Williamsburg, is the center of town; it is actually also the residential part of town, and it's further away than many of the commercial amenities than other areas. Expect quiet, tree-lined streets and lovely homes. This northern part of town is bounded by Central Florida parkway.
Western Williamsburg: Like constant entertainment? This part of town might be the neighborhood for you. That's because it borders the theme park Sea World! You definitely don't want to live here if you don't like tourists.
Southern Williamsburg: Southern Williamsburg is a resort land. There are lots of nice hotels here, and each has its own lake and green space. Things feel remote here, but it's hard to find budget-friendly rental housing, so consider looking elsewhere if you want to have an easy search.
Most people who live in Williamsburg tell people that they live in Orlando. That's because they live in the heart of what people associated with the Central Florida City -- tons of theme parks, hotels, and attractions. But that doesn't mean that everyone in Williamsburg is interested in the tourism industry. In fact, many people that live in the area use Williamsburg as a suburban town and commute into Orlando-proper to work and play. Orlando has tons of great haute-cuisine restaurants, theaters, museums, and more, so choose Williamsburg if you want a good mix of lowbrow and highbrow, all in one.

got lost," says Pat Chirakorn when asked how she ended up opening a vegetarian-vegan Thai restaurant in Cochrane. When she couldn't find the store she was looking for, she stopped to ask directions. "The people were so nice helping me find it. I thought this would be a good place to raise my boys, Paco and Perry."
Thanks to that hospitality, she and her sister Sonthaya Chanhao moved to Cochrane and built a restaurant, Thai Onzon (it means "awesome Thai"), above which they and their family live. The sisters say that Cochrane reminds them of Phon Pisai, their home town in Thailand's Nongkhai province—minus the military skirmishes, of course.
Back in 1983, the Chanhao family left their home town when fighting between Thai and Laotian forces along the Meking River became too intense. With the help of the Catholic Church, Pat and Sonthaya arrived in Grande Prairie with their parents and three siblings. A few years later, they moved to Calgary where Pat and Sonthaya, along with their mother Vanh and sister Vida, took over a Thai restaurant in Calgary's Beltline.
They changed the name to Thai Sa-on and brothers Term and Sam joined them. (Term now runs Thai Boat; Sam is in charge of Thai Sa-on.) Pat returned to Thailand for a while but came back to Canada a few years ago for her boys' education. "I like the weather better in Thailand," she says, "but I like the organization and opportunities better in Canada."
But for all the years the sisters cooked a full range of foods in their family's restaurants, they refused to eat meat. Pat went macrobiotic first, shifting to full vegetarianism a few years ago. Sonthaya is now vegan, saying it makes her feel better and stronger. They always wanted to cook what they eat so opening a vegetarian-vegan restaurant was a logical choice.
But in Cochrane? The contractor building their restaurant said they were crazy. Then he tried their food. Now he's a regular customer. Even Pat's husband, Chaiyathon, thought the idea was too extreme, especially since the sisters don't serve any alcohol or even soft drinks. "He didn't speak to me for a month," Pat says, recalling her husband's reaction to her plan. And now? "He loves it, and he helps me in the kitchen on weekends and evenings.
Thai Onzon has been packed since it opened in the fall of 2012. The food is richly flavoured and natural, as organic and house-made as possible. They sprout their own beans, make their own GMO-free tofu and offer an almost totally gluten-free menu, even desserts.
That commitment comes with long hours; the sisters are in the kitchen most days from 9 a.m. to midnight. Even on Sundays and Mondays, when the restaurant is closed, they come in to do prep work for the upcoming week. And with staff hard to find, their only other help is sister-in-law Kanokwan Chanhao and Pat's teenage sons. So occasionally they will close the restaurant for a week or two and head out of town for a rest.
But then when they come back, their regulars swarm the restaurant, making them work all the harder. But that's OK, says Sonthaya. "Being vegan, I'm stronger. I never get sick and I can work all day long."

I am happy to say I got my bellabox before the end of the month this month. Yowser.
The best items are a Kester Black for Bellabox nail polish in Ruby Tuesday, which is actually corrally-orange more than red for some reason. It's the first Kester Black polish I've tried and I'm utterly enamoured. The formula is thick but very workable and its a very vivid bright shade.
I also got a Rimmel Apolocalips in Celestial (101) which is a bright pink lip gloss/stain. It's a very vivid colour when you swatch but fades to a workable colour.
I also got a sachet of a MOR handcream in neroli which is very strongly scented, so strongly that my kids have rejected their usual grab of the box as a 'treasure box'. I also got some model co mixed sachet and some wipes, and a small travel sort of size deoderant. I also got a sample of pantenes new shampoo and conditioner. This should be handy as it's the 4th set of them I've received this month. At least I'll really know if it works on me, hey!

Nine years ago, Pierce was a hero of a different sort. Gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, he used those powers to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life on the line, and seeing the effects of the damage and loss that his alter ego was inflicting on his family, he left his Super Hero days behind and settled into being a principal and a dad. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters Anissa (Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) grow into strong young women, even though his marriage to their mother, Lynn (Christine Adams), suffered. Almost a decade later, Pierce's crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns — to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community."

Future applications and markets for quantum dots
|(Nanowerk News) IntertechPira has annoounced an e-learning webinar on Future Applications and Markets for Quantum Dots:
|The world is eagerly awaiting the flood of new products that are enabled by nanotechnology. Although it may not be a flood, the first nanotech products are already on the market and there are more in the wings. In general, nanotech can be divided into top down, making smaller widgets, and bottom up, making new materials from nano-sized fundamental particles. This presentation will focus on the bottoms-up approach and in particular focus on the use of semiconductor nanocrystals, or Quantum Dots.
|The journey from nanotech material to commercially available product is difficult. To fully realize the potential of nanotechnology, we have to convert our nano-science into real products that have a benefit that customers demand. The journey to make viable products from nanotech materials will be explored where the pitfalls are highlighted. Special attention will be paid to market volatility since the world economic picture is different now than ever before.
Highlights of the presentation:
Reasons to attend:

And it is to Diet Coke. I realize that sounds ridiculous. Who gets addicted to Diet Coke? ME!! I have to have one every lunch or else I get a headache. How can something that gives you withdrawal symptoms be good for you? Well it isn't.
Diet Coke contains the artificial sweetener called Asparatame which is made up of "three byproducts: methanol, formaldehyde, and formate." (METHANOL?!?! FORMALDEHYDE?!?!?! How can these ingredients possibly be healthy when one is in anti-freeze and the other is used to preserve dead people? )
Another startling factoid:
'A survey of aspartame studies by Ralph Walton MD of Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine found: "Of the 166 studies felt to have relevance for questions of human safety, 74 had NutraSweet industry related funding and 92 were independently funded. One hundred percent of the industry funded research attested to aspartame's safety, whereas 92 percent of the independently funded research identified a problem."'
So basically, something shady is going on. We are being fed chemicals by these big companies, told they are safe, only to find that when studied independently they are pretty bad for us. REAL NICE FDA....REEEEEEEEEEAL NICE!!
Part of my becoming a 'greenie' means me cleaning up all aspects of my life, including what I put into my body. I think that getting rid of diet coke will be a great start! I am going to keep track of how many days I go without any products containing Aspartame. Join me in eliminating this poison from our diets. I think I speak for everyone when I say "BLECH!!"

Check out Kombucha as a soda alternative. It is best consumed on an empty stomach, which means wait a couple hours after you eat to drink it. I love it. It is very fizzy and tastes like a wine cooler, but it doesn't have caffeine.
When I went off soda, finding good alternative drinks is what saved me and worked for me long term. You can do it!!!

What must have been the subject?
I have always had a smidgeon (smidgen) of respect for Minister Louis Farrakhan, even before he became head of The Nation of Islam; and although, his meeting with Iran's President Ahmadinejad last week would not surprise many people, because the two men shared the same faith.
What baffles the general public is that, Minister Farrakhan has been outspoken on many political issues, particularly, on the shabby treatment of African-Americans, and the need for America to repair the damage done to them socially, economically and politically.
On the other hand, President Ahmadinejad's background does not reflect the slightest of sympathies for the down trodden, as he heads an autocratic regime that smothers any kind of freedom through Sharia Law in his own country.
The bone of contention here is that Minister Farrakhan tends to be an avid scholar of world history. He has read widely on the indigenous and anthropological make-up of Africa, and the effects that ancient Islamic slavery has had on the black race. It has, by and large, contributed to the social conditions that are seen in present day Africa; it has inflicted so much harm on black peoples everywhere, more than any historical activity; and it is through its modalities that the trans-Atlantic slave trade has materialized.
So, it is beyond any amount of comprehension to see the two men, with such opposite and distinct dichotomies, sitting and talking.
Is it (subject) about freedom; or is it about slavery, or is it about the brotherhood of man? That is the question.

Khurshid visit signifies stable ties, says China
With the border dispute in Ladakh seemingly shoved to the background, Indian and Chinese leaders today said they were looking forward to Premier Li Keqiang's visit to India on May 19 to strengthen strategic ties between the two countries, reports Sutirtho Patranobis.world Updated: May 12, 2013 16:22 IST
With the border dispute in Ladakh seemingly shoved to the background, Indian and Chinese leaders on Friday said they were looking forward to Premier Li Keqiang's visit to India – his first trip abroad after taking over as premier - on May 19 to strengthen strategic ties between the two countries.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's expected visit to China later this year would further deepen the bonds which have been lately dented by the incursion by Chinese troops and falling trade numbers.
A senior Indian officer, in-charge of India-China border, is also in Beijing to exchange views on the border issue with counterparts in China.
The Border Defence Cooperation Agreement, part of the 16 agreements suggested by China, will be discussed during Li's visit to India.
After three tense weeks between the two countries over the incursion, resolved earlier this week, Friday saw both countries – including China's often critical state media – talking peace, stability and strategic cooperation.
On the last leg of his visit, foreign minister Salman Khurshid met Premier Li and state councillor Yang Jiechi on Friday.
"China and India are the world's most populous countries and largest emerging economies and their simultaneous development on our two countries is of strategic significance not only for the region but for the whole world," Li told Khurshid during their meeting at the sprawling and somber Zhongnanhai, the central leadership compound.
"The healthy and steady development of our bilateral relationship is very good news not just for our own peoples but also for peace and stability in the region and in the world," Li said.
China would like to negotiate with India to settle border issues and create favorable conditions for bilateral cooperation and development, Li said.
Briefing Beijing-based Indian journalists on Friday night, Khurshid said he raised the issue of the recent border incident with Yang Jiechi, who has been appointed as the special representative (SR) for the ongoing border talks with India.
"We did speak on the issue. I brought up the issue of the border matter... that such incidents should not recur," he said.
Talking about Li's visit to India, Khurshid said several agreements, including 16 put up by the Chinese, will be discussed. On some of the issues, like liberalising the visa regime, the views of both countries were overlapping. In some, more discussions will be needed. While Khurshid left for India on Friday night, senior Indian officials will stay back to finalise the groundwork for Li's visit.
The state media said on Friday that issues should be resolved through negotiations.
"While we shouldn't pretend that border disputes and historical issues don't exist between the two nations, it is hard to deny that the problems were often solved in a quick fashion as the two-way ties are getting more mature each day.
For international observers, being fixated on border spats, which are not rare between neighbouring nations, risks missing the grand picture of the overall positive trend of the China-India relationship and the huge opportunities and benefits it could bring to the region and the world," state-run Xinhua said in a commentary.
