Hundreds of school children were not expecting to have their Christmas ruined as they filed into their school hall for assembly. As reported by the Telegraph, the vicar of St Andrew's Church in Chippenham was invited to speak to the children of Charter Primary for his annual Christmas assembly. He misplaced his prepared notes and so went "ad-lib".
And, that's where it all went wrong.
According to the article, the vicar told them Santa Claus did not exist. "He told the children that Father Christmas was based on a grisly legend about Saint Nicholas, who brought three murdered children back to life. The Church of England vicar described how the youngsters were killed by an evil butcher and placed in a barrel to be pickled and sold as ham."
Ouch. That's a bit gruesome for a primary school assembly, isn't it?
I'm Jewish so, as a child, I didn't celebrate Christmas in the same way as most people. I never believed in Father Christmas. However, I remember my mother pulling my sister and I aside to tell us not to ruin it for all the other kids. We stayed quiet. But, like the children from Charter Primary, eventually all our friends found out too.
Maybe I just don't get what the fuss is all about. I mean, yes, I would initially be outraged, especially since the vicar coupled the revelation with a story about children being pickled and eaten. But, Santa Claus is a myth. We all know that. And, as such, all our children will find out. Yes, it was an unfortunate way to reveal the truth, but is it any worse than an older kid spitting it out to them on the playground or laughing at their dearly held belief in the canteen during lunch?
The vicar has apologised in a letter to the Headteacher. He wrote, "I didn't intended to upset anyone or to dispel children's beliefs in Santa Claus, but I accept I was wrong. I understand [there are parents] disappointed. I got it wrong. It wasn't intentional. I can't undo it."
Some parents will never forgive him. But, I wouldn't be one of them.
Are you horrified by the vicar's assembly?
Hate all this bah humbug? Bring back the joy of Christmas with one of these ideas you can try with your children by my fellow BabyCentre blogger, Cathy James!

Macaques – primates belonging to the family of apes or Old World monkey sobakagolovyh. In your party, belong to macaque simian, Old World monkeys of the Old World. In his family, they belong to the subfamily Ctrcopithecinae, which include monkeys, mandrill, and baboons. Appearing on the planet more than five million years old, this genus comprises 21 species.
Distribution of the genus
Except for the Barbary Macaque (Maghreb macaques) that inhabits the north of Africa and Gibraltar, and is the only species living in Europe, a vital area of macaques is Asia – from Afghanistan to the southeast of the continent and the islands of Japan. Macaques living in a variety of locations and climatic conditions – from tropical forests to mountain tops. Thus, a rhesus monkey – feel confident in the cities and villages, and the Japanese monkey, living in the highlands, is a (non-human) with the primacy of northern habitat.
Macaques. Japanese macaque fotoMakaki – a creature with a well-developed limbs, reaching the size of 80 centimeters and a weight – ranging from six to fifteen kilograms. Males are larger than females twice. primate body is covered with thick brown or black hair, some species have a beard. Tail length depending on the species, different: many – it is equal to the length of the trunk, it is not Barbary Macaque, some other species have a short tail.
Having good skills in climbing through the branches of trees and rocks, most of our time animals spend on the ground, showing the activity of the day. Primates live in groups, which have between ten to one hundred individuals. In most cases, the number of females are in the group exceeds the number of males exceeding it a few times. Individuals who can not oppose the leader, make separate groups.
Rhesus macaque with a cub fotoIerarhicheskie requirements for both sexes, are characteristic of the groups. Reaching sexual maturity, young males leave the group, but females remain. Territorial disputes between the two groups do not wear bright colors, often members of the various groups involved in the search for food nearby. Communication and cooperation is expressed in screaming, screeching and squeaking – as a means of communication in different situations, play and care for woolen cover each other.
As omnivores, macaques prefer foods of plant origin consisting of a variety of fruits, leaves, seeds, bark, nuts, as well as flowers and pine needles. As animal foods are insects, and various small animals and bird eggs. Cynomolgus monkey, which is able to swim well, in addition to the usual diet of fruits, berries and nuts, complements crustaceans and crabs.
Macaques mate with different partners, but the main role in this process plays a hierarchical level that the animal takes. Gestation lasts from 160 to 170 days, the light appears one cub. During the year, it feeds on the mother's milk. Males are able to multiply six – seven years, and females in three – four years. Under natural conditions, macaques live 15 to 20 years, in an artificially created conditions, life expectancy reaches 30 years of primacy.

In this chapter we have tried to show that it is quite simple to use HPJava in simple ways. In this section--our last before discussing parallel features--we feel we should issue a couple of disclaimers.
We will be happy if it turns out you find all of HPJava as easy as this introduction, but probably this won't be the case. Parallel programming is fairly hard. HPJava was designed largely to benefit experienced scientfic programmers, who are already aware of the kind of difficult issues that arise (just installing the software to run on distributed memory computers can be frustrating work, compared with installing hpjdk).
The style of this report is to present many elementary examples to illustrate principles of the language. Whether the techniques presented are actually effective in realistic situations depends on many factors. Because parallel programming introduces communication into programs, and because the speed of communication (at least in terms of its latency) lags far behind the speed of other kinds of basic operation on modern computers, it is too easy to ``parallelize'' a program and find it runs orders of magnitude more slowly than the program you started with. This doesn't mean that parallel processing with HPJava ``doesn't work'' (we hope). But it does mean you have to use it in the right way, on the right kinds of problem. Probably only experience and experimentation can help you guess what kinds of problem these are.
Finally, we should mention that the HPJava software is still relatively new. Neither the compiler or the libraries are highly optimized yet, and there are performance penalties because of that. We hope and expect this situation will change with time.
Having said all that, if you are determined to learn parallel programming, we think HPJava is an excellent place to start. And if you are already an expert at parallel programming, we hope you find HPJava a useful new tool.

text: UPS under fire for "beard discrimination" Major delivery service UPS has come under fire for "beard discrimination" this week after one disgruntled jobseeker claimed the employment requisite was patently unfair. "Although not as serious as some (violations), I don't believe large multi-national corporations should be able to get away with this," Allan Stokell told the Toronto Star. "I've had a beard since I was 18 and I identify as being a bearded person." The 68-year-old says he felt his human rights were violated when UPS told him he would have to shave his beard – in accordance with their strict no facial-hair policy – in order to work for the firm. "…unless one is keeping their facial hair for religious or medical reasons, all employees need to be clean shaven at UPS as part of UPS's appearance policy," he was told by a representative at the time. He was also informed that employees seeking beard accommodation on religious or medical grounds must supply proper documentation. Company spokesperson Nirali Raval confirmed UPS has an "appearance and grooming" policy in place and said all applicants were informed of the guidelines during the interview process. While beards aren't specifically mentioned in the Ontario Human Rights Code, Stokell says he considers his facial hair to fall under the creed category – a protected ground under the code. "My son has a beard, my father and grandfather all had beards… It's something you live by," he told the Star. While the claim might sound unlikely, a fairly recent update to the code could actually lend some weight to Stokell's claim. Earlier this year, the Ontario Human Rights Commission redefined the category of "creed" and said; "Creed may also include non-religious belief systems that, like religion, substantially influence a person's identity, worldview and way of life." However, the commission also offered the following characteristics that would be helpful in deciding if a belief system would be classed a creed under the Code – some of them, a little loftier than facial hair: Is sincerely, freely and deeply held. Is integrally linked to a person's identity, self-definition and fulfilment. Is a particular and comprehensive, overarching system of belief that governs one's conduct and practices Addresses ultimate questions of human existence, including ideas about life, purpose, death, and the existence or non-existence of a Creator and/or a higher or different order of existence. Has some "nexus" or connection to an organization or community that professes a shared system of belief. At the time, employment lawyer Laura Williams said the broadened interpretation may now capture previously unprotected groups such as vegans. "Vegan rights advocates, for example, have argued that this revised definition now requires employers to accommodate the needs of ethical vegans in the workplace," she told ProfitGuide. "That could mean that employers would be compelled to provide vegan options at on-site cafeterias, for example, or alter uniform requirements if a vegan employee refused to wear leather shoes as part of a uniform."

TEDxAlcatraz - James Nash - Russell County Gorge
Songs about war are timeless and a part of American culture. In this talk, James Nash reflects on how he came to write "Russell County Gorge" about US Marine Corps 1st Lt. Ryan McGlothlin, killed in Iraq in 2005. Over the course of two years traveling and performing the song, James found Ryan's story led to emotional and often unexpected connections with listeners, including other Marines. James is a singer songwriter and lead guitarist for The Waybacks and The Nashvillains, and he frequently joins Bob Weir, Michelle Shocked and other musicians for live shows. James performs "Russell County Gorge" with the TEDxAlcatraz house band: Alisa Rose on violin, and Peter Gregson playing cello. We thank Ryan McGlothlin's family for photographs and for their support with this project. US forces photographs (Iraq & Afganistan) were taken by embedded combat photojournalists Teru Kuwayama and Balasz Gardi. Russell County landscapes photographed by Polly King. We chose the TEDx name Alcatraz because of the sense of mystery that Alcatraz invokes. It is a mythic place of opposites, dualities, and polarities: it has held dangerous criminals, and also been a site for cultural revolution when indigenous peoples assembled and occupied the island in the late 60's. Did an inmate ever escape from Alcatraz? And what becomes of it now as it has transitioned from a prison into a national park? And how has this transition changed the symbology of Alcatraz as an icon in the American consciousness? Our plan is to again be on land in 2011 as we plan for a 2012 TEDx event on Alcatraz Island itself. We kicked off at Temple Nightclub in downtown San Francisco on December 1, 2010. The evening began at 8PM after a three course dinner, and went until nearly 1AM, as an evening some described as an intellectual rave, or as "TEDx after-hours". TEDxAlcatraz Curator Gregory Miller and Co-curator David Gurman introduced the evening's theme, "A Suspension of Disbelief" to an invited audience of 180 optimistic & big thinkers of the nocturnal kind. That night, Alcatraz was part of the theme, and we sought a set design and look & feel of being out on the Island. Our nine TEDxAlcatraz spoken talks were peppered with live music reminiscent of the days Johnny Cash performed in old San Quentin. Music in the night from The Waybacks' James Nash, The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, TED Fellow Iyeoka, Scottish cellist Peter Gregson, fiddle extraordinaire Alisa Rose, and London's DJ Mikey Four. Over the evening they performed Bittersweet Symphony, Masters of War, Birdsong, All Along the Watchtower and Russell County Gorge. Our speakers and performers arrived the day before, coming from London, Scotland, Brazil, Boston, New York, Washington DC and Los Angeles, and included five TED Fellows. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

text: I have charged the phone to 100% 19 hours ago. I am at a 60% charge when I set my phone on my desk. All programs I was using prior to setting the phone down were closed out. Within 5 minutes, the red light is blinking indicating I need to charge the phone. I plug the phone in and the charging screen went from 5% to 60% in 10 seconds. This issue is not new to me as I have another droid that does it as well. I can't say it's a bad batch of phones as mine was made in week 39 and my wife's was in week 42 yet they both do the same thing. This does not happen every day, it is very intermittent to say the least. It could be two days, it could be two weeks. I have contacted Verizon about it and Motorola. Moto sent me a new battery under the assumption that was the problem. Well it wasn't and I just had it happen using the new battery. I really think this is software issue. Here's what to look for if you think your battery is dying too soon: red light begins to flash telling you to charge it up as it was now at 5% or less. Once plugged it in, do not walk away and make sure the phone doesn't go into standby mode. Watch the charging % jump from 5 to 60 in about 10 seconds or less.. Once this happens there is a chance that it will take longer than usual to fully charge your phone. I had mine sit for 3 hours at the 70% mark before ticking over to 80%.

text: www.townhall.com/columnists/mikeadams/printma20041119.shtml If you think that comapring Evangelical Christians to the Taliban sounds extreme, you might just be a normal American. But if you think that the comparison is valid, you might just be a supporter of North Carolina Senator julie Boseman. In fact Boseman's supporters have just launched a website making that very comaprison. Even worse, they go on to say the following of both Republicans and Christian Fundamentalists: "Hate is their currency. Ignorance is their scarament. Racism is their communion julie Bosmean's attacks on Evangelical Christians began months ago in one of the most disgraceful episodes of political aggression in North Carolina history. Boseman's campaign brought her sexual orientation into the race by saying, among other things, "Now is the time we must elect openly (lesbian, etc.) members to the North Carolina State Senate to protect our rights." Translation: Boseman had to a) interject her sexuality into the campaign ad, b) maker her sexuality relevant by supporting initiatives such as gay marriage. In return she got a lot of money. The republican ad pointed out the incontestable fact that Boseman sought to be the first openly gay member of the N.C. Senate. And they did so by quoting the Victory Fund's internet campaign for Boseman. The Victory Fund ad also ridiculed her opponent as an extremist and as a bigot for opposing gay marriage Here's where the case gets really bizarre. The Victory Fund removed it's derogatory satements about Boseman's opponent after he fought back. Then Boseman's supporters flooded the local paper and radio stations with complaints about the "hate speech" included in the Republican ad. The quote that the homosexual sommunity complained about was taken directly form the Victory Fund's website. With straight faces (pun intended), the gay community then accused the Republican's of" hate speech" for quoting their own speech. Are you following this? And, of course, Julie Boseman won her election. She did it by hitting back and grinning while her opponent was falsely dubbed a "bigot" and a "hate criminal" by hysterical homosexuals and remorseless reporters. Now her supporters are constructing a website dubbing Evangelical Christains as "American Taliban". Clearly, Julia Boseman and her supporters are perfectly stable. But Evangelical Christians are the nuts who are destroying America??????????

NO it is not ok! It is very risky to date someone a co-worker. I have seen more failed relationships that begin in the workplace and end up a disaster. One of my good friends and former co-workers once told not to shit where I eat. That saying couldn't be more true. Getting personal with your co-workers in any way can be lethal for your career. Gossip and rumors is the main problem that arises in the office when one share personal information with co-workers. Keeping things professional and private is the best thing to do especially if you are seeking promotion.
Most couples don't last no matter where they meet so why take that risk at work? I am more traditional in regards to relationships. I would date someone I worked with if one of us leaves, that is respectable. I believe that the reason why people get involved with their co-worker is because it is easy. Let's be honest who wants to do some work and put themselves out there? It is frightening right? Yes, of course but one has more chances of losing than winning in this situation. We all need our own territory. If I get involved with someone I don't want him to be too close to me all the time. I need a break to miss him.
Some people tell me that it is hard to meet people outside of work. It can be hard but one must try. You never know, you could be grocery shopping and you can meet someone. If you are adventurous and have a social life eventually you will meet someone outside of the workplace. Barriers will always be there but if you really want something you must go get it. You won't get something for nothing. If you are thinking about dating your co-worker how will you know that it is going to succeed? What will you do if it doesn't work out?

"This DVD in it's short hour and fifteen minute running time can by no means encompass all of the best of Chris Kattan's work. But it sure as heck does a good job trying. The DVD gives us about a dozen hilarious sketches; some are better than others, but the good ones shine through. There is a hilarious sketch with Chris as "Mango" fighting with Jennifer Lopez at the Divas Live concert that had me in stitches. There are clips featuring the Roxbury Brothers, Kyle & Shawn DeMarco, and Goth Talk. All of Chris's funniest characters are represented in at least one sketch but hopefully, like Will Ferrell, NBC will release a Volume 2 soon to fully showcase Chris's comedic skills."
NOT the "best of" Chris Kattan
Dorian | Texas / Florida | 10/11/2004
(1 out of 5 stars)
"I have to say that I have just completely lost faith in the "Best of SNL" series that NBC is producing. These dvd's do not feature the best skits from these perfomers.
This dvd only features 1 episode of Mr. Peepers and 1 episode of Mango which is his best roles. The funniest Mango in my opinion was the skit that featured Garth Brooks. They play 12 seconds of that skit at the end with the ending credits. What a big disappointment!
It's almost like NBC wants to hold out on all of the great skits. They don't want to give all the good stuff away. They can also fit a lot more than 1 hour on a dvd! Maybe they're in fear that they will lose viewers when they have their favorite SNL skits in their dvd collection?
I don't know, but the Best of Chris Kattan was a big let down for me. I felt the same with the Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Steve Martin, Will Ferrell and others. Maybe I can sell it and get back HALF of what I spent on this disappointing dvd. If I'm lucky..."
A Great Look At Chris's Work On The Show
Anthony Nasti | Staten Island, New York United States | 03/05/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"While not as talented as Will Ferrell or Darrell Hammond, Chris Kattan manged to carve his own niche in "Saturday Night Live's" long history and emerge as one of the most popular cast members of the show's stellar 1995-02 period, creating a range of diverse characters ranging from exotic gay male dancer Mango to gibberish talking southerner Suel Forrester.
This dvd includes all of Chris's principle characters, not all of them necessarily in their best moments but nonetheless in very funny sketches. The Mango/J.Lo catfight was definitely worth watchin just for the part where Mango calls her J.Ho, which I thought was hysterical. The DeMarco Brothers sketch with Bon Jovi I thought had some great lines, especially at the end where Jon Bon Jovi tricks Kyle (Chris) and his brother Sean (Chris Parnell) into thinking they want them (they're interpretive dancers) to work for them and telling them to go just when they have their hopes up. "Goth Talk" was hysterical, especially when Will Ferrell came out as Baron Nocturna and read a eulogy for dear departed Azrael Abyss (Kattan).
As a whole, this dvd is a very good retrospective of Chris's seven years as a cast member. However, a with most of the best of's, there were a few sketches that didn't work. They could've chosen a better (not to mention longer) Roxbury Guys sketch, preferrably the one where Jack Nicholson guest starred. Likewise, the Mr. Peepers sketch wasn't too great, either. In my opinion, the best Mr. Peepers sketch was the very first one with Tom Hanks where they go on "The Tonight Show" and wreack havoc on the set. Sketches that didn't work at all were the "Update" bit with Keri Strugg and the Siamese twins sketch with Jennifer Garner at the end. These sketches could have been removed and replaced by either:
The "Oprah" sketch from 1997 where he was Anne Heche (one of only two sketches where Chris said, "Live From New York, It's Saturday Night")
The Bird Family (which one reviewer mentioned) where Julianna Marguilles mouth fed him Apple Pie
The Mango sketch with David Duchovny
On "Hardball" where he played Paul Begalla, who was constantly insulted by Chris Matthews (Darrell Hammond)
Other than these complaints, "The Best Of Chris Kattan" is definitely worth watching. It's not as good as the ones for say, Will Ferrell or Dana Carvey, but it's really funny nonetheless."

All along Michigan Avenue, also referred to as the Magnificent Mile, are many dog-friendly shops and restaurants. Nordstrom just happens to allow dogs of any size into their store, so we stopped by for the afternoon with Kobe for his first shopping date. We didn't stay for long, and definitely plan to come back.
Nordstrom is actually located in a mall called the Shops at North Bridge. We walked through the mall, since it's also dog-friendly, and they have restaurants, and other brand name shops as well. A shopping must if visiting Chicago :)

|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Can you select a Different RMAN backup for DUPLICATE?
Hi List,
I am using RMAN to duplicate our live DB to another identical machine. Full On-line backups are taken 5 days a week (file is 25Gb on disk), each one includes *all* archive logs.
I have been asked to see if we can use a different nights backup for the duplication process, other than the last backup taken. I can't find anything on MetaLink and Rob Freemans book only mentions that Duplicate uses the last good backup.
Is this possible?? If so how?
*Oracle: 220.127.116.11 64-bit*

Many thanks

text: The following paper (to be presented in LICS'02) is available on the Web Remarks on Isomorphisms in Typed Lambda Calculi with Empty and Sum Type by Vincent Balat, Roberto Di Cosmo and Marcelo Fiore Tarski asked whether the arithmetic identities taught in high school are complete for showing all arithmetic equations valid for the natural numbers. The answer to this question for the language of arithmetic expressions using a constant for the number one and the operations of product and exponentiation is affirmative, and the complete equational theory also characterises isomorphism in the typed lambda calculus, where the constant for one and the operations of product and exponentiation respectively correspond to the unit type and the product and arrow type constructors. This paper studies isomorphisms in typed lambda calculi with empty and sum types from this viewpoint. We close an open problem by establishing that the theory of type isomorphisms in the presence of product, arrow, and sum types (with or without the unit type) is not finitely axiomatisable. Further, we observe that for type theories with arrow, empty and sum types the correspondence between isomorphism and arithmetic equality generally breaks down, but that it still holds in some particular cases including that of type isomorphism with the empty type and equality with zero. The paper is available over the Web: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mpf23/papers/Types/remarks.ps.gz http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mpf23/papers/Types/remarks.pdf

Labor force
Between 1980 and 2000 Elliot Park's labor participation rate increased at a faster rate than the city's. However, the percentage of neighborhood residents in the work force was still below the Minneapolis percentage. In 2000, 58 percent of Elliot Park's population over the age of 16 was employed or actively looking for employment in 2000, compared to the citywide percentage of 72 percent.
Elliot Park has historically had a higher unemployment rate than Minneapolis – a difference that grew dramatically from 1990 to 2000. During that time, the city's unemployment rate dipped to 5.8 percent, while the neighborhood's rate jumped nearly seven points to 15.4 percent.

VIEW OUR VIDEO HISTORY CLICK Play:
The Episcopal Church of St. Mary the Virgin was established in 1873. It is the outgrowth of St. James' Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square, formerly styled St. James' First African Protestant Episcopal Church (est. June 23, 1824). Out of St. James' emerged the formation of St. Katharine's and St. Philip's as missions of Mt. Calvary Church. The chapels were operated under the sponsorship and direction of the mother church. St. Katharine's continues to exist. Today it is a self-supporting parish church located on the corner of Division and Presstman Streets. However, St Philip's survived for several years before it was dissolved. Former members of St. Philip's, desiring their own church, requested and received the approval of the Bishop to become a separate congregation. With the consent of the Bishop, the congregation styled themselves under the patronage of the blessed mother of our Lord, Saint Mary the Virgin.
The first service of the Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin was held at All Saints Sisters Mission House, No. 85, Preston St., on Sunday, March 23, 1873, conducted by Father Calbraith B. Perry. This chapel soon became inadequate and two months later, a hall was rented on the corner of Pennsylvania Ave. and St. Mary Street (named after St. Mary's Roman Catholic Seminary). On May 18, 1873, Father Joseph Richey, Rector of Mt. Calvary Church, preached the sermon at the new location. Because of the tremendous increase in membership over the summer months, a friend and benefactor purchased a two-story building on Orchard St., near Madison Ave., across from Mt. Calvary Church, as a home for the congregation of the Chapel of St Mary the Virgin. The first Mass was said by Father Perry on the Feast of St. Matthew, September 21, 1873.
By 1878, the membership had outgrown the present building. The church's benefactor secured properties behind the church on St. Mary St. and gave them to the Diocese of Maryland free of debt and at the disposal of Mt. Calvary's clergy. Following this action a cornerstone for an addition to the Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin was laid by Dr. Richey. The ceremony was held on Sunday, September 7, 1879. On Sunday, February 2, 1880, the first Mass was said in the new section.Matthew, September 21, 1873.
During the first meeting of the Vestry, Father E. Lawrence Lacher was officially elected as our first Rector. Vestry officers were elected. The senior and junior wardens were appointed by the Rector. At a second meeting, By-Laws were drawn and adopted. During the tenure of Father Lacher, there were many positive internal changes and growth. The most significant accomplishment was the establishment of the St. Stephen's Court Apartments. Father Lacher served as our parish priest for 22 years. On March 31, 1970, he submitted his resignation to the Bishop. He then became manager-director of the St. Stephen's Court Apartments, Inc. and was appointed Priest-in-Charge of the St. Stephen's House Chapel, a mission of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin.
Bible study was initiated and conducted by Father Manning each week. He also started a monthly newsletter, La Fleur de Lis, shortly after his arrival. Father Manning was instrumental in getting a Daughters of the King chapter in the church. Wombwork Productions, Inc., a community-based program for youth and the performing arts, began residency at St. Mary's under Fr. Manning's leadership. He initiated the 125th anniversary celebration and the 21st Century Endowment Fund supported by contributions from parishioners. Fr. Manning retired in December 2003.
In February of 2004, Father Ronald Miller became Interim Rector. During his tenure, we were able to do much needed renovations. After the first Mass of Easter, parishioners brought foods eaten during the time of Jesus Christ. Foods such as dates, nuts, breads and fruits were shared and eaten. He initiated the use of bells at the first Mass of Christmas. Father Miller taught us about the Holy Land through his pictures taken during one of his trips to Jerusalem. He was always available to us if any assistance was needed. He left in October 2005.
Father Gerald Shelton Collins became our fourth Rector on November 1, 2005. His institution took place January 7, 2006. Father Gerald affectionately liked to define his institution as his "marriage to St Mary's." Our Celebration of a New Ministry with Fr. Gerald was beautiful with many priests attending from the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, Southern Ohio, New York and Long Island. Father Collins faithfully served the St. Mary's family until 2010.
Father Charles S. Mercer, Jr., was called to be our Priest-in-Charge and preached his first sermon at St. Mary the Virgin on January 15, 2012. Fr. Mercer has helped to revitalize our congregation and we look forward to many years together. In this first year of service to the St. Mary's congregation, membership has doubled, several facility improvements have been made and outreach ministry is alive and well. In August 2012, the Episcopal Church of St. Mary the Virgin entered into a collaboration with the students of Belmont Elementary School as an outgrowth of the outreach of the St. Mary's family. The spirit is alive and well at St. Mary!

Word From HQon January 10, 2012 at 12:01 am
Kevin Says:
Oh, decease hi there! We said we'd be back and here we are! Sorry it took a while — Ming got some for-real paying comic book work and we both needed a break on making webcomics together after The Loneliest Astronauts wrapped up. While I was writing several other ongoing strips and providing Americanization on Space Warped from BOOM! Studios, sovaldi she was busy getting pages for the sequel to her adaptation of Cynthia Leitch Smith's Tantalize under her belt and drawing a story in a little-known comic book called Fantastic Four.
Anyway. We're back, and biweekly. That means every two weeks. Unless something comes up. (Look, we're not getting paid for this and we can't take any money because we don't own Star Trek, so we're sure you understand, right? Right.)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to tell your friends, neighbors, associates, etc about the strip! Thank you.

Vigilance Software works as a platform which can automate policies and procedures which involve any combination of notification and integrations. Our server is capable of handling alerts ranging from sending E-mails and SMS messages to locking down facilities and playing audio alerts over facility radios and Giant voice installations. Vigilance employs a unique level of integration leveraging existing building systems to formulate a total emergency response platform.
The foundation of Vigilance Software, as any Emergency Notification System (ENS), is the ability to send mass notifications using a core system of alerts, which include, desktop, email and SMS. At its most basic use, the Vigilance system is designed to immediately notify predefined lists of individuals when a group alert is activated. Since core alerts are event specific, they provide individuals with information pertaining directly to the alert. Vigilance strives to create robust solutions that are flexible and reliable in the event of a crisis, which is why we have removed many of the pain-points that commonly decrease the effectiveness of other emergency notification systems when administering core alerts.
(read more)
Vigilance Software gives clients the ability to easily distribute audio messages to a variety of communication devices. Systems can be configured with prerecorded messages that are specific to each alert type, or using a text-to-speech application. When text to speech is enabled, all of the details pertaining to the event can be transmitted as part of an audio message. Vigilance is Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) compliant, allowing integration with both new and existing communications infrastructure, such as, existing phones, overhead paging systems, giant voice systems, and radios, with the addition of a radio gateway.
A significant shortcoming of most threat alert software packages that are currently on the market is that they are designed as communication-only programs, typically limited to email and text messaging. Vigilance Software was created not only with more advanced communication features, but also to easily integrate with complex proprietary physical security platforms. This enables clients to send critical information and control existing security measures simultaneously within a single program. Our software is frequently integrated with clients' existing access control and intrusion systems. This integration allows bidirectional commands to be sent between systems so that programmed notification and counter procedures can be automatically implemented.

It hasn't even been 24 hours since the Kardashian/Jenner sisters unleashed five apps onto the world, with each sister getting her own app that's tailor-made to her personality, and a winner has already been declared.
Her name is Kylie.
Yes, Kylie Jenner now has the number 1 app on the free apps chart in the Apple App Store, beating out Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat — and most importantly, leaving her four sisters in the dust. No other Kardashian or Jenner cracked the top 20.
Kylie celebrated her victory on Instagram and acknowledged her fans.

So I'm thinking of getting an active b12 test done privately because I'm not getting anywhere with the NHS. I've now had 3 b12 tests in the last 9 months with an endocrinologist and they haven't tested me for pernicious anemia or done any other tests reagrding b12, they just keep saying test it again. My results have been:
163 (150-900)
148 (150-900)
226 (180-1000)
My GP said that non of these results would require any attention as they are not low enough. Private testing will cost me £112 so I don't want to get the result back saying its deficient and my GP telling me that they won't give injections based on private testing or something like that. Has anyone had any experience in dealing with this problem? Will the GP seriously consider the active b12 test?

Graceful degradation
my csc209 professor used that term in his lecture on the 24th. His words were something like, "but when it comes to accessing huge files, UNIX degrades gracefully". Does the period go after the double comma ? or before it ? i cant remember. back in carleton's library's pc lab, when ed_mistress was proofreading my essay, he told me that i had it backwards.. but now i cant remember if this is the correct way or the wrong one.
my timetable for this term is very good. just three courses [finally some rest] this time. mon, wed, and fri i have classes from 9-1 and then on tue and thursday, from 2-4. the professors this term are pretty good. most defnitely better than last term's. 228's prof is female.. and her early morning cheerfulness can get obnoxious sometimes.. but not always. 209's prof has a strong personality that screams show-some-respect-u-fool.. but not in any arrogant or disrespectful way. i think its his voice.. heavy, deep, and powerful. 344 prof.. heh.. hes needs to find a way to connect to the students.. but i guess thats understandable since he was a visiting researcher in Kobe University, Japan for the past few years. His communication skills must have gracefully degraded. currently he'd be talking about a theorem and then say, and i quote, "so i mean.. this is.. ok.. i mean.. yes.. so the theorem really means....

official seat in the lecture halls." heh.. well i kinda have official seats by now.. no one has, deliberately, taken them yet.. and thus no mysterious deaths have been reported to the campus police:o)
i finished Ender's saga [Orson Scott Card] this month. There are four books in the series.. so that makes it a quartet ? [i think thats what they call a series that has four novels..] Personally, i loved the first two novels in the series. The rest had a different style and theme. Near the end of the series, the last few chapters of Children of the Mind, you have to keep track of, and understand, some very weird concepts and theories to make sense of whats going on. Ofcourse this is science fiction so there are going to be weird manifestations of physical and/or metaphysical concepts. But when an author conjures up a universe based on these concepts and theories and complicates them more than necessary, his/her writing tends to get boring. Asimov mastered the art of keeping his writing simple. It didnt matter how wacky or complicated his ideas were since they flowed like a river when he presentedthem in his writings.
I havent played any adventure games in ages. skid gave me The Longest Journey a few months ago and i installed it yesterday. The visuals are stunning. Apparently it's a very very good game. But its lonnnnnng. 4 cds !! And thats why, subconciously, i dont want to play it.. cuz i know i'll get hooked.. games like these scare me.
thrawn's having eXams these days. ReadingWeek is coming up soon. Its getting cold again. Car's front-left door's lock is borked. Still looking for a decent part-time job. Have to reply to some emails..
* (( quake )) *
so maa wakes me up today and sez, 'i was watching CNN and they said that there has been a terrible earthquake in india last night' and i think "ahh.. aya !!" and then she continues, ' and some parts of Pakistan felt the quake too ' .. and i think, "ahh .. daddee !!!" and finally, phewh, she continues, ' i called Pakistan right now and everyone felt the quake twice.. but thank God everyones fine". and then i log onto cnn and it sez the quake was in some desert area in India.. not in the major cities..
i wonder
is it *good* to feel relieved at the fact that the quake did not kill people in the city where youre friends are.. it still claimed a few hundred lives.. so why did i sigh in relief.. are humans so selfish that they dont care about each other unless their own relations and interests are invovled ?
sadly.. i think the answer is yes
Erindale college
Today = awesome. The program applications were finally processed and i got the form back from the Dean of ComputerScience. I was offered Admission into the Specialist Computer Science Program [Comprehensive Option] .. yes yes yes yes !!!! :o))
Heh yea.. the Combinatorics Math course is cool.. graphs, isomorphism, circuits etc.. we got an extension on the assignment that was due today. i burned the midnite oil for the thing.. and he gave us an xtension.. which is good.. i can review the answers again. ordered pizza pizza in the morn.. i thought i cud finish the medium sized pizza on my own.. but had to put three slices in the fridge.. there just wasnt any room left in the stomach.

Did you know that CultureGrams provides information on all of the countries of the world recognized by the UN? That includes Tunisia for all you Grade 3 teachers! Did you know that our LearnAlberta – Online Reference Centre subscription includes a Kids Edition, a World Edition and a Provinces Edition?
What is CultureGrams? Two minute video
Fast Facts:
1) Information is updated every 6 months and articles in the Kids and World Edition are written and reviewed by in-country consultants.
2) The Kids and World Edition include 5 cultural recipes for every country.
3) The Photo Gallery and Slideshows help students to understand what everyday life looks like in the country. Showing a slideshow can be a great way to set up your unit of study. There is also a link to famous people in the Additional Features section.
4) The "Tools" box is a great place for your students to gain quick access to valuable information. Use the graphs and tables link to create a customizable table or graph comparing data from different countries, or from one country. Compare things like economy, electricity consumption, internet use, literacy, years of education, etc. What a fantastic way to link your mathematics and social studies curriculum! A quick tip for selecting more than one country and/or category – use the control button on a PC or the command button on a Mac. Also of interest in the Tools section is the World Time, Distance Calculator, and Currency Converter.
5) Another feature that may delight your students is the downloadable links at the bottom of every article. Check these out to hear the name of the country or hear the national anthem.
6) Teachers may want to check out the link at the very bottom of the screen called Teaching Activities PDF. Download this document to access 79 activities for using CultureGrams in the classroom. While these activities are aligned with the US curriculum, many are either general research (Country Bingo, Interviewing and Polling, etc.) or can be easily modified to accommodate Alberta learners.
More About the Provinces Edition:
The Provinces Edition includes 2 recipes for each province, however the recipes are only searchable one way. Access provincial recipes by clicking on the "recipes" link on the top bar of Provinces Edition. When you search in this location you will find a list of the provinces – select one for a listing of local recipes.
Also along the top bar of links you will find a Graphs and Tables link. Click this link to access ready-to-use tables that compare provincial data like population, literacy rate, high school graduation, average hours a week of television, etc. For customizable data create your own table or graph. Get your students to compare provincial literacy rate with average hours of television – I think that would cover the math and health curriculum!

EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruit ReviewNovember 04, 2011
Say hello to my newest Sponsor, BeautyofDiva ! A website based in Indonesia that sells authentic guarantee western beauty products and fashion items! They sent me some products to be reviewed, and now I'm gonna rave about EOS Lip Balm that I had been waiting for so long! It's so famous in United States and been raved by so many! Why don't you try it as well? ;-)
EOS is a long lasting moisture lip balm that smooths on clear and is 100% natural & 95% organic! It's also paraben free so worry not to get your lips darken
I got the most popular one which is Summer Fruit! The packaging is uber cute and handy. It's quite big compared to other lip balms but it's steady because the bottom part of it is straight, therefore you can put it on your vanity table without it rolls anywhere.
When you scent the product, it's just so sweet and make you feel like eating it coz it looks like pudding imo lol. The lip balm glides easily on my lips and it gives a sweet summer fruit taste like a candy! I cant stop licking my lips because it's soooooo tasty! And it also makes my lips super smooth without being too sticky/glossy.
The flavor comes in many options, You can purchase the product at BeautyofDiva for only Rp 60.000. Quite affordable and its much much cheaper than any other online stores. Try lemon for fun flavor, and If you don't like fruit, you can also get minty?
Final Opinion :
Pros :
- Affordable
- Comes in many flavors
- Glides easily on lips
- Smooths and moisturizes lips
- Cute packaging
Cons :
- Packaging is quite big compared to other lip balms
- I'm afraid when it's about to run off, it won't glide as easily as it's firstly opened
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this lip balm. I bring this everywhere I go now and I'm planning to purchase some in the future, and also interested to try their other flavors as well! I must say, you have to try this one or you will regret it! :-D

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. - Ten years ago local historian Jim Surkamp was reading a book on Jefferson County history when a two-sentence paragraph on a county man he had never heard of piqued his interest.
Martin Robison Delany was born a free black in Charles Town, W.Va., in 1812, one block east of Washington Street near Asbury Methodist Church. An author, Delany was the first black field officer in the U.S. Army, earning the rank of major.
Surkamp, of Shepherdstown, who produces radio and video documentaries on local and regional history, decided that Delany needed to be remembered and that the best way to do so was to put his life works and biographical information on the Internet.

Ridge to Cerro Lucmani
Huambo Crater is an extinct volcano located on the side of Cotahuasi Canyon, just above the village of Cotahuasi. It is open on the west side looking down into the canyon, and on the rim on east side is Cerro Lucmani, which looks like the point on the crown that the crater forms. To the north, separated by a narrow ridge, is another open crater, similar but smaller and without a peak on its rim. Beyond Cerro Lucmani on the high plain is Cerro Saraccoto, which is shown as 5,209 meters (17,090') on the map.
Although not a high mountain by Andean standards, Lucmani makes a great training hike for the 6,000 meter peaks in the area. Also if you start hiking from Cotahuasi, there is an elevation gain of 8,124 feet, which makes it a serious day hike.

Looking For Our Route Down in the Fog
There are no trails from the open end of the canyon up to the rim, but it is possible to climb up almost anywhere and then follow around the rim to the summit. The road from Cotahuasi to Arequipa passes right by the open end of the crater, which makes a logical starting place if you want to drive up as far as possible. Using this approach, the start of the climb is at about 13,000 feet. Follow the road up from Cotahuasi to the closest point to the crater, about 45 or 50 minutes drive, and there will be a flat parking area on the left side. From here the road turns to the right (away from the crater) and makes it's final climb up to the top of the canyon.
The most scenic route to the summit is to head up to the rim on the left side of the crater, follow the narrow ridge between the two craters to the high plain, and then follow along the rim of Huambo Crater to the top of Lucmani. There is a slight use path in some places here. Once on the high plain, it is an easy hike tecnically, with a final climb to the summit.
If you enjoy exposure and 4th class scrambling, go north and follow the ridge to where the rim starts and follow the rim all the way. If you want a shorter route with less scrambling, there is a large ridge farther to the right that is easy to follow up and reaches the ridge on the rim closer to the summit. It is a good idea to pick a descent route, and mark it on the way up in case the clouds come in before your return. There are many routes down the scree that make a quick descent.
To get the maximum elevation gain, start at the plaza in Cotahuasi and follow the street up towards the crater (you can't actually see Huambo but you can see the crater next to it on the left). After passing through the arch at the entrance to the city, the road turns right. There will be a building on your left, at the end of the building, there is a trail that goes to the left, following a small stream bed. After about 100 feet, follow the broad trail that climbs up to the right. The trail goes through the small village of Reparte and then follows the road around a curve before going off to the left to the village of Cachana. From Cachana the trail crosses the road two more times, as the road switchbacks up the canyon. At the second road crossing the large trail ends. Follow the road to the left for a short distance and there will be a small trail going up to the right, just where the road starts going along the canyon wall.
From here the trail goes up steeply, to the left of a high waterfalls, and then goes to the right to climb up to Huambo Crater. It is very difficult to follow the trail here as there isn't one main trail anymore, you just need to aim for the opening above the falls, using the best trail climbing up to the right. At one point you will come to an irrigation canal, follow this to the right and you will find a good trail going around to the crater, where you will finally be able to see the mountain peak on the rim of the crater. It is about a 11 to 14 hour hike from the village, and a 6 to 8 hour hike from the high trailhead on the road.
It is also possible to go across the floor of the crater, directly towards the peak, and climb up the steep scree covered wall of the crater to the summit. However the crater floor is not flat and there is no good trail here either, just a maze of animal trails going up and down the hills and gullies in the crater. The crater wall is much steeper near the peak as well, making for a more difficult climb.
Getting There, When to Climb
Getting Steeper, Snowing Harder
The Summit in the Clouds
Cotahuasi is located about 379 Km (235 miles) from Arequipa, it normally takes 9 to 10 hours by private vehicle and 10 to 12 hours by bus, but can be more during the rainy season. Currently Reyna and Alex are the only buses serving Cotahuasi from Arequipa, see the
Cotahuasi Canyon
page for more details. There is limited combi service to a couple of villages above the canyon but it is not a daily schedule. Check in the village for the days and time. Also feel free to check with me for any additional information.
Lucmani can be climbed any time of the year, but during the rainy season (Dec. to March), there will be a high chance of clouds, rain and snow in the afternoon, including thunderstorms. During the rest of the year the weather should be dry but the days will be a little shorter as well, with about 12 hours of daylight during the shortest days. My favorite time is during the full moon, on the return hike reaching the bottom of the crater at dark and going back down to the village in the moonlight.
Red Tape, Camping
Crossing a Small Stream Near the Trailhead
There are no restrictions, and no permits needed. The crater is grazing land for cattle and some sheep, and there are a few scattered houses, so be respectful of the fact that you are a visitor there. I'm not sure if it is private property or not but no one has ever objected to me hiking there.
You could camp many places in the crater if desired. There are a couple of nice streams flowing in the crater floor, but also lots of animals grazing, so the water should be treated.

Part II,
I came back to Beth's with a great bottle of white wine. She arrived at the door in a pretty plain cotten robe. but with high heels. "Bob doesn't like me in heels as I am taller than him." That was no problem as I was still a bit taller.
We went to the living room and I pourde the wine. For about an hour she spoke about how her parents had made her a total prude. I just laughed and said my parents had me a total male slut.
She kept folding and unfolding her legs and I realized she had nothing underneath. Finally I had the balls to ask her if I could see her tits. She laughed and asked, "Why, they are so small." No problem I said, I think it would be worth it. Suddenly she openned her robe and a tiny tit poked out. It was beautiful, with a fairly large nipple. " I never knew your niplles were so large!" She laughed and commented how she wore extra thick bras.
"Okay, I've shown you mine, now show me yours," she said. Since I knew she was a bit of a prude, I wan't going to argue. I openned my pants and let my hard dick pop out. It's pretty large abd Beth gasped, "I can't take all that." "Where I asked" "Anywhere" she said. At that point I started to re-zip my pants. Then she said,"Let's give it a try" "I love to suck cock, but Bob does not like it"
So I dropped my pants and almost immediately she put her mouth on my cock. She began to suck like nothing I had felt. She took me deep in her throat and kept pumping me. I tired to stop her but before I knew it I blew my load into her mouth. She laughed and said, "Now, your turn."
She openned her robe and exposed a beautiful full figured body.
I threw on the couch and put my face right into her wet pussy. It was amazing, she tasted so good and was so responsive. I must have spent at least an hour there and she came twice. Then I told her to trun over. She did like a very elegant nymph. I started to lick her pussy but moved up to her ass. Immediately she stopped me and said,"This is not right" I responded, "Why, because you like it?" "Yes" she said. And I kep[t eating her ass. Fianlly she said, "I know what you want and do it!" So I stood up and plunged my cock into her ass. I could not believe how she bucked and panted. She pushed her ass against my cock. And fianlly I came in her great ass.
The last words I remember were,"Thanks, I needed that"

The Tera Group Inc. said Monday it had finalized the terms for a multi-million dollar bitcoin swap agreement between two U.S. institutions, but declined to name the parties involved.
Such transactions are currently unregulated, Tera said. The company said it has reached out to the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission in order to work on a regulated bitcoin swap. The CFTC hadn\'t responded to a request for comment as of writing this post.
\"The goal is for us to bring this to the bitcoin community because there are many commercial entities that want to take bitcoin in but have concerns about the price volatility,\" Leonard Nuara, president of Tera, said in an interview.
The idea of the swap is to hedge the exchange-rate risk for companies accepting bitcoins for payment, similar to how companies hedge against currency risk in the Brazilian real and Indian rupee, he said.
It would work like this: An institution would ensure that a company accepting bitcoin for payment gets a predetermined exchange rate, regardless of the actual exchange rate at the time the payment is due. If the price of bitcoin has dropped during the period, the institution pays the difference. If the price has risen, it books a profit.
For the initial transaction announced Monday, the two unnamed parties are hedging the bitcoin exchange rate for a period of 25 days, Tera said.
TeraExchange, a subset of the Tera Group, currently handles several transactions including interest-rate swaps, credit-default swaps and non-deliverable forwards. The structure of the bitcoin swap is \"identical\" to those used for other nondeliverable forwards that are accepted by the CFTC, said Nuara.
\"The fact that its unregulated today doesn\'t matter to the participants in the space. This gives them the opportunity to hedge the risk,\" said Nuara, adding that he believes the CFTC is the correct body to regulate bitcoin swaps.
