'Dumb and Dumber 2′ Finally Gets a Title as Script Nears Completion
We've been waiting patiently for a proper follow-up to 1994′s 'Dumb and Dumber' for, well, almost 20 years now. (Let's not count that unfortunate prequel.) One of those projects that seems to have life for a moment once every two years, it has never felt like it was going to truly come together. But the stars appear to be aligning for our dopey friends, as writer-directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly have revealed the title of the new 'Dumb and Dumber' installment.
The Farrelly Brothers shared this tweet with the world yesterday:
You also might be interested to know that we are almost done with the Dumb and Dumber To (sic) script.I think you're going to like it.
— Farrelly Brothers (@farrellybros) September 26, 2012
Yes, 'Dumb and Dumber To' seems a very fitting title indeed, although it's scary to ponder how many people won't get the joke. With the script almost done, it will now be up to the brothers to find a time when their leads, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, are both available to get dumb again. Reportedly the two are on board to reprise their roles.
As for the film's story, we found out back in August from Bobby Farrelly that it "revolves around the fact that one of them may have sired a child. They want to go and find the child because he's having a kidney problem and he wants to ask him for one of his kidneys."
Ah, now we can speculate on who will be playing said child? Any candidates that come to mind?

text: As the final ends of the Earth hit sundown today, we at BBOS would like to wish to all those who observe a very happy Hanukkah! Hanukkah (Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה, usually spelled חנוכה in Modern Hebrew, also romanized as Chanukah or Chanuka), also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar. So get out the Manorah and commence the lighting of the first candle!

He also helped guide the college's art history program to its current status as a full major.
He participated in the creation, in 1979, of two interdisciplinary courses, "The Golden Age of Greece" and "Two Souls of Germany" and continued to teach in both courses until 1997.
He curated, installed or administered numerous exhibitions at the college. His publications included catalogs for exhibitions at Hope that he curated, including "Dutch Art and Modern Life: 1882-1982," prepared for the show that marked the gallery's debut.
Prior to coming to Hope, he held teaching positions with the Toledo Museum of Art and University of Toledo, and the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Wilson also served as a visiting lecturer at Grand Valley State University, and has delivered guest lectures at institutions including Aquinas College, the Muskegon Museum of Art and the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
He holds his B.A. from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn.; his M.A. from the University of Minnesota; and his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa.

OAuth-based single sign-on in Real-world Implementations
Speaker: San-Tsai Sung
Date & Time: Monday, May 28th, 2012 @ 5:30pm
Millions of web users today employ their Facebook accounts to sign into more than one million relying party (RP) websites. This web-based single sign-on (SSO) scheme is enabled by OAuth 2.0, a web resource authorization protocol that has been adopted by major service providers. The OAuth 2.0 protocol has proven secure by several formal methods, but whether it is indeed secure in practice remains an open question. We examine the implementations of three major OAuth identity providers (IdP) (Facebook, Microsoft, and Google) and 96 popular RP websites that support the use of Facebook accounts for login. Our results uncover several critical vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the victim user's profile and social graph, and impersonate the victim on the RP website. Closer examination reveals that these vulnerabilities are caused by a set of design decisions that trade security for implementation simplicity. To improve the security of OAuth 2.0 SSO systems in real-world settings, we suggest simple and practical improvements to the design and implementation of IdPs and RPs that can be adopted gradually by individual sites.

A rodeo queen isn't your average, everyday queen. A girl who participates in a rodeo queen pageant not only knows how to get dirty but stays that way most of the time.
From riding her horse on a daily basis to hanging out in places where high-heeled shoes are frowned upon, a cowgirl is tough but, she's still a girl. Last weekend, five high school rodeo cowgirls participated in the Northeast La. High School Rodeo Queen's contest which was held in conjunction with the rodeo at the Morehouse Activity Center.
Contestants were judged in the categories of interview, modeling and speech, impromptu speech and horsemanship. Each girl was required to have a speech relating to their country, state or anything with a western theme. They also had to answer the question, "What do you think makes Louisiana great?"
The current La. High School Rodeo Association Queen, Logan Poole, was the emcee of the pageant. She is a junior at Claiborne Christian School and has participated in rodeo for six years.
Poole crowned Macey Colvin of Dubberly as the newest NELA High School Rodeo Queeen. Colvin is 17 years old and is home schooled. She is the fourth generation of Colvins to participate in rodeos and has been competing in pageants for five years. She is also the owner of Fanci Feet Dance Studio.

Step into Aston Martin's newest supercar, the 2014 Vanquish.
A vehicle so exclusive its key is made of crystal, Aston Martin's newest flagship supercar, the Vanquish, is a study in both performance and aesthetics. With a 6.0-liter V12 engine capable of generating 565 horsepower, the Vanquish rockets off the line, dominating the 0 to 60 mph sprint in a mere 4.0 seconds and topping out at 183 mph. A variety of world-class components and design elements, including carbon-fiber body panels, race car-caliber carbon ceramic brakes and a near-perfect 51:49 front-to-rear weight distribution, make the $279,995 Vanquish a standout even in the rarefied supercar field. And Aston Martin put every bit as much thought into the cabin. See how as we explore the cockpit of this singular automotive work of art.
1. Gauge Cluster
Recalling earlier Aston Martins, such as the DB2 and Atom, the rpm gauge runs counterclockwise.
Crisp white LED lighting illuminates the dials, making them easy to see day or night.
Two electronic displays welcome drivers as they start the vehicle with an elegant graphic reiterating Aston Martin's slogan, "Power. Beauty. Soul."
2. Steering Wheel
With squared edges inspired by Aston Martin's venerable racing heritage, the Vanquish's unique steering wheel both evokes agility and heightens the interior's exclusivity cachet.
The steering wheel's interior metallic ring with six equally spaced bevels also takes its styling cues from Aston Martin's long history of professional racing.
3. Door Panel
Parallelogram-shaped aluminum door handles lend the car a sense of velocity and dynamism. Even more noteworthy: Once opened, the upward-aiming "swan wing" doors add a bit of refined drama to any exit.
Unlike many manufacturers, Aston Martin chose not to hide the Vanquish's speakers, instead integrating them into the overall interior design, including the door. Audiophiles rejoice: Thirteen Bang & Olufsen speakers placed throughout the cabin provide more than 1,000 watts of premium sound.
4. Navigation
A power-folding 6.5-inch LCD screen that provides directions and audio information remains hidden under handcrafted piano lacquer trim until opened.
5. Center Stack
The center console flows downward from the upper dash in one sweep, or what Aston Martin calls a "waterfall" design. The fascia trim is comprised of a seamless piece of piano lacquer, not components, heightening the modern aesthetic.
Unlike most starter buttons, which tend to be made of plastic even in the luxury car sector, the Vanquish offers a crystal-fob Emotion Control Unit. Insert the fob into its glass housing to start the car. Upon ignition, a red glow illuminates the engraved crystal key. Passengers won't soon forget the experience.
For the shifting buttons Aston Martin again opts for real glass, bucking the plastic trend.
Control clusters on the center stack are delineated with polished aluminum trim.
Drivers use illuminated capacitive glass buttons with haptic feedback, similar to a smartphone's touch screen, to control major functions such as climate, phone, audio and navigation systems.
6. Lower Console
There's plenty of storage in the leather-lined lower console, thanks to the placement of the gearshift controls on the center stack.
While the outer sides of the lower console are often overlooked in interior car design, Aston Martin makes the most of the space by placing the controls for the power seats here, in an easy-to-reach spot.
Available at Napleton's Aston Martin of Chicago, 217 Ogden Ave., Downers Grove, 866.581.3753, napletonsastonmartinofchicago.com

Franciscan University News - Steubenville, OH
STEUBENVILLE, OH--More than 200 students filled the J.C. Williams Center with a buzzing anticipation on Tuesday, October 3. After a lengthy flight delay, their nationally known priest-hero had arrived on campus. Moments later when he entered the center at 10:15 p.m., the Franciscan University students greeted Father Frank Pavone with a rousing ovation.
In a talk co-sponsored by the College Republicans and Students for Life, Pavone spoke of the necessity of electing virtuous public officials. He also gave a testimony about his experience watching Terri Schiavo die of thirst while a vase of flowers filled with water sat by her bedside.
"Terri wouldn't have been killed if 42 million babies hadn't been killed first," Pavone said. He pointed out that it is a "strong myth" that "we can deprive the unborn of protection and keep it for ourselves."
According to Pavone, the controversial 1973 Supreme Court abortion ruling, Roe v. Wade, established a new kind of government: one that is not from God. In very strong words, he told students, "The Church says these are no laws at all. These laws have absolutely no authority over us, and we must disobey them."
If a politician turns away from helping babies, Pavone said, that politician is rendered "incompetent" for public office. Pavone called to mind public officials who insist that education and health care are fundamental rights, but do not recognize the right to life.
Pavone made some practical points for students hoping to elect pro-life candidates. "In an election, one thing is counted: How many for this guy and how many for the other?" He encouraged students to pursue voters who would not normally vote rather than spending all their time trying to change the mind of one or two who are opposed. "Leave them alone until after election day," he urged listeners.
Despite projections, Pavone expressed optimism for the upcoming month: "We are going to take another step forward in this election for the culture of life." Pavone pointed out that a foundation is being built, saying that the Supreme Court is closer to recognizing the rights of children than if the last presidential election had gone the other way.
Before closing the night, Pavone encouraged the students, reminding them that Jesus Christ, who makes all things new, is their reason for confidence.
After another standing ovation and a question-and-answer session, about 75 students registered to vote. He also encouraged vocations to Priests for Life and to his new community dedicated to pro-life work, the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life. The new group is open to the laity as well.
Afterward, Pavone expressed gratitude for the convictions of the students. "The obvious dedication to the cause of life is tremendous encouragement because the future and present of the pro-life community is here," he said.

Two days following the 2013 American League Championship Series, and two months shy of his 69th birthday, Jim Leyland decided 22 seasons as a manager was enough. And so, saying "the fuel was getting a little low," he announced his retirement.
That didn't mean he was going to sit on his porch all day and curse the crabgrass. Leyland has remained in the game as a special assistant to the Detroit Tigers and working with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's office.
And in March, he'll be managing Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. That wasn't something he courted, but how could he say no?

Witchcraft Route in Navarre
Turismo de Navarra.
Witchcraft Museum in Zugarramurdi. Antonio Olza
Turismo de Navarra.
Jaureguizar mansion. Patxi Uriz
Turismo de Navarra.
Zugarramurdi caves. Patxi Uriz. J.Ederra
If you're interested in taking intriguing journeys, we propose four unique routes by car around the most "mysterious" towns in Navarre in northern Spain. Between the 16th and 17th centuries, witchcraft was much more common than you could ever imagine... Some 400 years later, you can discover what traditions and curiosities remain alive in these lands.
The first of the routes (about 50 kilometres) goes through the areas of Auritz/Burguete, Orreaga/Roncesvalles, Ochagavía, Burgui and Vidángoz, where several witches were burnt at the stake for having supernatural powers. Along the route you'll find "enchanted forests", such as Basajaunberro or places like Muskilda, where witches used to gather together to hold their covens. One of the best times to take these routes is in the last week of August, as in Vidángoz, in the dead of night, there is a performance of the "Descent of the Witch", a dance around a bonfire to welcome Maruxa, the local witch.
The second itinerary (around 30 kilometres) includes the villages of Urdazubi/Urdax, Zugarramurdi, Bertiz, Arraioz and the five villages known as the Cinco Villas. You'll find this route particularly interesting, as in Zugarramurdi you'll be able to visit the Witchcraft Museum and then feel the magical aura in the famous local cave where devil worshippers used to hold their feasts and orgies under the moonlight. Another attraction not to be missed is the medieval palace of Jauregizarrea, in Arraioz, where women accused of witchcraft were incarcerated and tortured in 1612.
The third route (about 70 kilometres) goes through the valleys of Larraun, Leiztarán and Araitz. This is the actual location where the film "Aquelarre" (Witches Coven) was shot. Finally, the fourth route goes through the villages of Viana and Bargota (about 10 kilometres). Bargota is apparently the birthplace of one of the most popular figures in Navarran witchcraft, the sorcerer Johanes, who as well as being a cleric in the church of Santa María, was also a witch-doctor, and was said to be able to cure headaches and travel on clouds... The town celebrates a varied programme of activities on this theme every summer.
Witchcraft, magic, potions, legends, persecutions… all the ingredients of mystery are present to be explored in the area of Green Spain. And keep your eyes open, because you might see a thistle hanging upside down on the door of an old house, to keep away evil spirits.
You'll find all the information on these routes on the official web page of the Navarre Tourist Board .
Things to remember: Route 1 is reached on the N-135 road from Pamplona to Orreaga/Roncesvalles Route 2 is reached from Pamplona on the N-121-A and 121-B Route 3 is reached on the A-10 and A-15 Route 4 is reached by taking the A-12

Wayland plans Gold Rush weekend
PLAINVIEW - Wayland Baptist University in Plainview will hold Gold Rush, its fall preview event, on Saturday, Nov. 11, welcoming prospective students to campus for a day of events and information about the university. Gold Rush is open to high school juniors, seniors and college transfer students who are seeking more information about Wayland.
"This is an opportunity for prospective students and their families to come to our campus and see what Wayland is all about," said Jennifer Beal, Wayland's director of admissions. "We want to give students the opportunity to tour our campus, meet with our professors, staff members and students and get a better understanding of who we are and what we offer. It is also a chance for them to ask questions about financial aid, registration and other things that can be stressful when applying to a college."
Prospective students and their parents will participate in information sessions on academic opportunities, financial aid and other areas, as well as taking part in mock classes, scholarship drawings and music, theatre and art auditions. Wayland's theatre department will also present Terra Nova at 8 p.m. in the Black Box theatre.

Virtual Income Scam
Virtual Income Information
|Virtual Income
|Brand Logo
|Website URL
|Creation Date
|Fake CEO
|Henry Howes
|Fake Expected Income
|$10,812 per day
|Regulated Brokers
|Recommended Auto Trading Software
Virtual Income Details
Virtual Income is a pretty old scam software, supposedly created by Henry Howes in 2016, which claims that it could make you earn $10,812 per day.
In fact, this is just a new scam software which uses the same scam platform as a lot of other scams on the market. The only difference with the other scams is the logo and their software colors.
Virtual Income Regulation
Keep in mind that the most important question you need to ask yourself to keep you safe when choosing a trading robot is : Will this software link my account to regulated brokers or not ?
The main problem with that kind of scams, which can be considered as a huge red flag, is that they will link your account to unregulated brokers. Keep in mind that if you deal with unregulated brokers, you can be sure that not only you won't be able to withdraw your money when you ask for it, but you won't be able to file a complaint to a regulation authority when it happens.
Virtual Income is only working with unregulated or even blacklisted brokers. That means none of the proposed brokers on this software holds a valid regulation licence from a regulation authority. In other words, every cents deposited on this software should be considered as lost. Don't get fooled !
The Sad Reality
- Virtual Income video has been made using hired actors. Henry Howes is one of them and he never existed as a real person.
- All the testimonials you can find on their video and website has been made using actors and stolen pictures from the internet.

Checking in on the… Horizon LeaguePosted by rtmsf on January 30th, 2009
Damon Lewis, a reporter and play-by-play announcer for the Horizon League Network, is RTC's Horizon League correspondent.
- Butler (#13/13) 9-0 18-1
- Green Bay 8-2 16-6
- Milwaukee 8-3 13-8
- Wright State 7-3 13-8
- Cleveland State 5-5 14-8
- Loyola 4-6 12-10
- Youngstown State 3-7 6-14
- Valparaiso 3-7 6-15
- Detroit 0-10 5-15
I've used up the majority of this space over the last several weeks explaining why and/or how the Horizon League would be a two-bid league in the NCAA Tournament this year. Actually, it was more like "explaining why" early in the season because the hopes were so high, then "explaining how" as of late, as the chances became slimmer and slimmer. That said, let me make something very clear…
The Horizon League will ONLY send 2 teams to the NCAA Tournament if Butler stumbles in the Horizon League Tournament. Period.
I'm really, really disappointed about this. The fact that the HL will likely be a one-bid league once again this season isn't a knock on the overall level of basketball. It's simply evidence that, right now, there's really only one elite team/program in the Horizon League. That program, of course, is Butler. Having seen nearly every team play in person (and all of them via TV or Internet), I have a lot of confidence in saying that there truly isn't much difference between team #2 and team #10. There may be a wide margin in the wins and losses, but talent-wise and coaching-wise, the gap is much tighter. To me, the differences between teams 2-thru-5 and teams 6-thru-10 are things like experience, lack of injuries, or mental toughness. Some teams have better results in these areas, and because of that they've risen slightly higher in the league standings. It's not because of a disparity in talent. The only disparity in talent I see is at Butler. Along with doing the little things right, they have the most talent, and it shows.
No need to go on, and on, about teams that are irrelevant right now, unless I feel like poking a little fun (which I will). There have been some impressive performances since the last time we checked in, which has prompted a lot of chatter in Horizon League circles about who this season's "HL Player of the Year" will be, "All-HL 1st Team," etc. We'll dive into that, among other things, right about…now.

Adam Levine Reveals Why He Never Does Drugs 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Adam Levine took to the stage on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' and as anyone who's ever seen 'The Voice' knows, he's a bit of a hoot. When he chatted with comic Kimmel, it got hilarious pretty quickly.
Levine revealed that he's in the middle of moving and that his pals are helping him out with it ... but that he's not paying them for it, nor would he reciprocate the favor.
Our favorite vignette? Levine's admission of using prescription drugs with one of his Maroon 5 bandmates and what happened when they did.
"We had a brief experience with what I guess was Ambien ... I shouldn't tell this story. James Valentine and I, we didn't know what it was, so we figured we'd take it to sleep." Kimmel grilled, "Where'd you get it?" to which Levine replied, "Relax! I can't divulge everything to you!"
He continued, "We foolishly thought, 'We'll take it because we're going to go to sleep.' We took it and we were at Denny's," he said sheepishly. "We were at Denny's in some shady part of the city, and I'll never forget this, because I ordered Moons Over Miami -- we both ordered the same thing, it's a fabulous entree if you've never tried it -- and we woke up, at the table, what must have been an hour later. I don't know how long -- Moons Over Miami comes with cheese, and the cheese was like plastic," he explained. "Like hardened plastic. I woke up first and I kinda saw James there and I'm like, 'Oh no,' and James had his head down, so I'm kind of like, 'Hey man, hey -- we should get out of here.'"
He added, "We didn't eat our food, we just paid our bill and sheepishly made our way out of there. Since then, I've never done drugs."
Other highlights? Being BFFs with Jonah Hill in school, not being able to give away Maroon 5 CDs when they started on tour with Sheryl Crow and hunting with Blake Shelton.

Months of planning led to Pakistan prison break that freed scores of terrorists
A daring prison break earlier this week during which Pakistani Taliban insurgents freed about 250 of their colleagues was meant to convey that the group is a major threat to national security despite losing swaths of territory, havens and strategic conduits in the northwest tribal areas during military counterterrorist operations this year.
Al Qaida activists with knowledge of the details of the raid said the Dera Ismail Khan prison in northwest Pakistan, reputedly one of the most secure in the country, was one of several high-profile targets that militants from the Taliban, whose formal name is Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, had selected during a nationwide intelligence gathering operation between January and March.
The list was drawn up prior to a Taliban offer of peace talks extended to the right-of-center Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party during campaigning before the May general election that the PML-N won, the activists said. The party's leader, Nawaz Sharif, had said during his campaign that he would attempt to negotiate an end to the Taliban insurgency, which has cost Pakistan 48,000 lives and about $60 billion. But the Taliban feared that once Sharif was prime minister he would withdraw the offer under pressure from the military and the United States. The planned series of attacks was intended to apply pressure so that he would not, the activists said.
The Afghan and Pakistani al Qaida activists spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge operational details and feared they would be killed by their terrorist colleagues or Pakistan's security forces if their identities were revealed.
The plan was drawn up amid great secrecy by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan leadership, including its nominal leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, with input from a handful of educated, ideologue faction leaders. They included Adnan Rasheed, a convicted terrorist who last year was busted out of prison in Bannu, a town immediately to the north of Dera Ismail Khan, in a raid that served as a dress rehearsal for Tuesday's jailbreak.
Since being appointed prime minister in June, Sharif's attempts to set up a peace process have been stymied by the powerful military, which has directly ruled Pakistan for half its 66-year existence and monopolizes foreign and defense policymaking. He also has been preoccupied with addressing massive power shortages and resolving a low-intensity nationalist insurgency in western Baluchistan province.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and its allies, notably the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Pakistani affiliate of al Qaida, put the prison-break plan into action in June, the al Qaida activists said. That plan involved about 200 militants, split into units of 10 to 15 fighters. Each unit was led by a commander involved in prior reconnaissance of the target, an organizational structure that ensured familiarity with the prison's geography and facilitated better coordination between the unit leaders during the operation. The fighters themselves were not aware of the target until their deployment, to prevent leaks, the activists said.
The Taliban units launched their assault on the jail from five points, targeting its main gate and walls with rocket-propelled grenades, shoulder-mounted rockets and mortars. Two units scaled the prison's walls under cover of fire from medium- and heavy-caliber machineguns. Other units positioned three explosives-laden vehicles at the prison entrance and subsequently inside the prison to slow any advance by security forces when they arrived. Similarly, the militants planted many improvised explosive devices in the prison and in buildings outside. The assault force's planned escape route was also booby-trapped with roadside bombs.
The activists said five 10-man units were deployed away from the jail and kept in reserve. In case the assault on the jail took longer than planned, and the militants inside were surrounded by security forces, the reserve units were to attack them from the rear.
The operation was completed in two hours, 40 minutes, and the militants were gone before the military arrived and surrounded the prison. The 250 prisoners they'd freed included about 40 experienced but otherwise not extraordinary militant commanders who've been repatriated to their parent factions in the tribal areas, as part of a quid pro quo for those factions' logistical support of the operation, the activists said.
Similar tactics were adopted during a July 25 assault on an office of the military's Inter Services Intelligence directorate in the southern town of Sukkur. That attack killed nine ISI operatives in an area that had previously not seen terrorist activity.

Dads behaving badly: A closer look at the fathers in the Bible
In this first installment of a two-part meditation, we are reminded of Abraham's "daddy issues." Even this exalted father of faith had a rocky start.
Lorenzo Monaco (circa 1370(1370)–circa 1425(1425)) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
It's been said there no good fathers in the Bible. Some will protest that Joseph of Nazareth did all right by his foster son. The extra-biblical tradition tends to fill in some pretty favorable details about that relationship.
But the Holy Family aside, there's little evidence that the majority of biblical fathers did well by their children.
It may be no coincidence that Jesus recommends we call no man our father. "Our Father who art in heaven" has all the paternal bases covered; the comparison to earthly dads on the biblical record is precipitously downhill from there.
Take Abraham, father of nations. Jewish scholars have gone so far as to call Abraham a "dangerous father," and the evidence is compelling. His two most famous sons are treated in a way most of us would be quick to report to the Department of Family Services.
Ishmael, his oldest, is abandoned in the desert along with his mom. Isaac, the favored son, is nearly sacrificed at knifepoint to appease his father's God.
How in the world did Father Abraham arrive at such a disastrous parenting style? If the book of Genesis is taken at face value, there was plenty of precedent.
Adam and Eve start out a fairly happy couple-though it must be said, pickings were slim for alternatives. Adam once declared his mate "bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh," making the honeymoon phase of the relationship seem sweetly promising. But after the passage of time, under a fateful tree, we see their relationship considerably diminished.
We know little of them after they leave the garden, except to see the fruits of their relationship borne out in their sons. The oldest, Cain, murders the younger Abel out of pure jealousy. Cain viewed Abel as God's favorite, the one who inhaled all the love in the room and left nothing for his brother.
This finger-pointing is familiar. When parents do not take responsibility for their actions, they pass this example on to their children. Cain blames Abel for his own inadequacies, and violence comes into the world as a result.
A spate of begetting ensues, with the next murder by Lamech just a few generations later dramatically underreported. Wickedness seems so irreversible that Genesis depicts God repenting the creation of human beings. If only God had taken the whole weekend off that first week, creation might have remained serene--without the potential blot of humanity and its freedom.
According to an Islamic story, when God first imagines free will, he offers it to the heavens, the mountains, and the earth in turn, but each refuses such a dubious gift. Finally, God extends this offer to humanity: the capacity to both remember and forget the divine will. And humanity fatefully declares, "Why not?"
By the time Noah comes on the scene, "Why not" is painfully obvious. God has shortened the life span of mortals to 120 years to limit the damage each can do. Even this measure fails to curb the prevalence of evil in creation, so God resolves to destroy most of the earth and its creatures. Noah and his family alone will be spared. The eight of them board the ark, and it seems to be clear sailing in the beginning for the new First Family.
Maybe 40 days and 40 nights of enforced togetherness brought them to rum. Family vacations that are far shorter, and with more leg room, can strain the tightest domestic bonds. Once their zoological incarceration ends, Noah makes a beeline to the vineyard and invents wine. The results are not pretty.
The new First Dad becomes the first drunk. The youngest son, Ham, finds his father toasted, not to mention exposed, and can't resist dissing the old man. Noah's other sons are quick to hide their father's humiliation, but it's too late. When Dad wakes up, he curses Ham's descendants--which is how the doomed children of Canaan get into the story.
More begetting leads to Babel, which leads to babble of another order. Multiple nations and languages create a multiplication of religions as well. When a fellow named Terah in Ur of the Chaldeans (later Babylon) has three sons, he has plenty of gods to choose from to entreat on his family's behalf.
But none of Terah's deities get the job done. His youngest son, Haran, dies early, leaving an orphan named Lot. Terah's middle son, Nahor, does all right, eventually becoming the grandfather of Laban and Rebekah.
But it's Terah's oldest, Abram, who is the most troubling. Abram can't seem to beget at all, despite more than a half century of marriage. Terah seems weary of the insufficient divinities of Ur, which have lost him one son and effectively truncated another. So Terah "takes" Abram--the verb is dismissive, like he's an object to be pocketed--along with Abram's "useless" spouse Sarai and the fatherless Lot, and determines to go to the land of Canaan for a fresh start. But Terah never gets there.
What went wrong with the plan? Perhaps it's as simple as this: An old man finds change an unsettling proposition. Halfway to Canaan, Terah puts it in park in a place he apparently names for his dead son, Haran. Terah left the land of the Chaldeans but cannot shake the tragedies of his past. He resolves to five circumscribed by the memory of his losses.
So Abram finds himself confined to his father's house, living with a childless wife, a fatherless nephew, and his brother's ghost. Abram's name, in fact, can be translated as "My father is supreme," pointing to Terah, not to Abram's own achievements. Are we surprised this fellow has issues?
When Abram encounters the Lord God, he's granted clemency at last. God promises him a future in the form of land and heirs. First Abram must do one thing, but it's a very crucial thing: "Go!"
Abram left Ur behind when his father "took" him. Now he must let God take him farther: beyond the old gods, beyond his father, beyond the constrictions of a fruitless past. Abram must become his own man so that a son once named for his father's glory can become "the father of nations" in his own right.
Abram tries in many clever ways to become Abraham. First he adopts Lot, but his dead brother's son will not serve as an appropriate heir. Lot is greedy (he takes the better slice of grazing land when Uncle Abram offers him a choice). Lot is foolish (he throws in his family's fate with the wicked people of Sodom). Lot is weak (he requires rescuing more than once). Most of all, Lot is a rotten father himself (he invites his rowdy neighbors to violate his virgin daughters in lieu of his guests).
Abram turns next to his servant Eliezer, offering his inheritance to this faithful member of his household in the event that he never sires the promised descendant. Let's face it, Abram s really old now. He was 75 when he finally moved out of his father's house in Haran, and he's a decade past that now. But God comes to him again and renews the dual promises of land and heirs. It's no wonder this time Abram asks for proof. God grants him a terrifying covenant of blood and fire.
Yet afterwards, Abram falls in when Sarai, now tired of God's promises, offers him her maid Hagar. This third attempt at becoming the father of nations is more successful. Hagar bears him Ishmael. But Sarai's jealousy will prompt her husband to abandon this fledgling family in the desert. The son of a death-oriented father has become a deadly dad in his own right.

The House Hippy/
Guest post by Mark Holcomb, the Blogtender's cousin-in-law/former professional bartender/lead singer of The Sharpe James
I was raised by hippies… they were probably considered ex-hippies by the time the '80s rolled around, but they were hippies nonetheless. My mother (who is a saint of a woman!) is the type of lady the who used to tote me around as an infant in one of those baby backpack-papoose contraptions, and who shed a tear or two when Jerry Garcia died. As for my father, well, he looks like Willie Nelson. Love him as I do there is no denying his hippydom. Unless you're him, that is; he vehemently refutes this label for the sole reason that "hippies are too peaceful." However, he is the same bass-playing, ponytail-rocking, bandana-wearing, beard-having, hitch-hiking Okie who once thought a good name for his firstborn son (that's me) would be Thud Blues Holcomb. I only thank the sweet Lord Jesus that my momma had enough sense to name me after my grandfathers instead.
As you might imagine, having been brought up in this type of environment, my brothers and I were, to put it nicely, free-spirited individualists at a very early age. To paint a clearer picture of what that means exactly, I will say without a doubt that the term "driving me to drink" was coined for rugrats such as ourselves. While our wild behavior may have spawned many great discoveries, by far the grandest of them all is when my dear ol' dad stumbled across what in my mind is a testament to the spirit of American ingenuity, and parental decorum.
My father's philosophy dictated some unbendable rules. One such rule is that "only a bastard would drink whiskey straight while his wife is at her part-time job." On certain occasions abiding by this rule translates to grabbing whatever "mixer" is in the fridge and throwing some sour mash in it. This is how The House Hippy was born.
The recipe is simple. It is just two ingredients. (I noticed they've been getting fa-fa-fa-fancy up on this blog lately, but don't be fooled; the Ghetto Fabulous cocktail from a few weeks ago reigns supreme).
Why is this drink so good in my eyes? Well for one, cherry juice and Jack Daniels complement each other perfectly. No, really, the flavors of oak and cherry go together like free love and illegitimate children, that's scientifically proven. Secondly, it beckons to a simpler time when a man could get half buzzed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and still get 100% of his vitamin C in one sitting.
So to all the dads out there who are stuck at home with the kids I say: Don't be scared to get the party started early, it's American. Just please don't do anything extravagant like decide it's time for haircuts, or help your children with their homework, until you've sobered up a touch. If you heed that simple warning everything will work out great. My brothers and me turned out OK so drank up!
1 part Jack Daniels
2 parts Cherry Juicy-Juice
One or two ice cubes
Tasting Notes:
If you really want to drink it in its classic form, the only proper serving vessel is undoubtedly an old jelly jar that has seen enough PB&Js to be rinsed out and used as a glass.

Phoenix, AZ – Paul Goldschmidt's two-run double capped a five-run seventh inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres, 5-2, in the opener of a three-game series at Chase Field.
Wil Nieves, Martin Prado and A.J. Pollock drove in one run apiece for the Diamondbacks.
Arizona starter Brandon McCarthy (2-3) allowed one run on five hits and two walks over seven frames. Heath Bell escaped trouble in the ninth to notch his seventh save.
"I try to throw as many strikes as I can, and whatever I have that day just let it go into each pitch and sometimes it works and sometimes the other team will punish you if you're not on your stuff," McCarthy said. "But more often than not, if you just have conviction and just keep trying to do it, luck will favor you a little bit."
Everth Cabrera hit a solo shot and Yonder Alonso had an RBI for the Padres, who have lost three straight. Starter Eric Stults (4-4) was tagged for four runs on six hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings.
"I made the pitches I wanted to make, but I didn't get the results you normally get when you make your pitch," Stults said. "You have to give them credit, they hit some good pitches. Overall, I just came up short."
Carlos Quentin doubled to lead off the second and scored on a single by Alonso.
The Diamondbacks mustered just three hits before finally scoring in the seventh. Miguel Montero hit a ground rule double off Stults to begin the inning. Prado followed with a double to right, scoring Montero. Two batters later, Cliff Pennington drew a walk and pinch-hitter Nieves put Arizona in front, 2-1, with a double to center.
Dale Thayer came in to relieve, but he allowed a single by Pollock, scoring Pennington. Joe Thatcher replaced Thayer. Didi Gregorius bunted towards the pitcher, but Nieves was thrown out at the plate. Thayer was replaced by Anthony Bass, who gave up a double to Goldschmidt, plating Pollock and Gregorius.
Cabrera's solo shot started the eighth. Quentin doubled with two outs, but Alonso popped out to center to end the frame.
Bell came to pitch in the ninth. Will Venable reached first on a bunt and Alexi Amarista, pinch-hitting for Nick Hundley, drew a walk with one out. However, Bell got Mark Kotsay to fly out and Cabrera to ground out to end the game.
Game Notes
Gregorius has reached base safely in 13 of 14 games against NL West opponents ... Goldschmidt has 38 RBI, tied with Troy Tulowitzki for second-most in the National League ...Gerardo Parra was caught stealing for the seventh time this season, most in the majors.

eBay sues Craig Newmark as Craigslist tries to squeeze it out
Expect a rash of headlines accusing auction giant eBay of bullying saintly Craig Newmark. eBay has sued Newmark, his business partner Jim Buckmaster, and Craigslist. The charge? Craigslist has allegedly diluted eBay's 28.4 percent stake in the company, which the auction giant acquired from a former Craigslist employee. The part of the story Newmark and Buckmaster don't want anyone to hear: The pair made about $16 million in the process of letting eBay buy the stake in their company. The deal included a shareholder-rights agreement which ought to prevent Craigslist from diluting eBay's stake in the company, people familiar with the deal have told Valleywag. By squeezing out eBay, Newmark and Buckmaster appear to be having their cake and eating it too. Relations between the companies had already deteriorated: eBay had a seat on the Craigslist board, at one point occupied by founder Pierre Omidyar, until last year.
Why, precisely, is Craigslist trying to dilute eBay's stake? Silicon Alley Insider's Peter Kafka speculates that Craigslist is looking for an outside investor. Nonsense; as Kafka himself points out, Craigslist doesn't need the money. Far more likely: Newmark and Buckmaster are angling to issue more shares to themselves so they don't have to share as much of the company's profits with eBay.

Sometimes, even people in our business are beaten down by an overload of bad news.
That�s especially true today, an age where new media outlets emerge by the second. There�s print reporting, TV reporting, online reporting and now social media reporting. Via the latter, by definition, anyone with a smartphone is a reporter, photographer or videographer.
It�s in our faces every single day.
Everything is connected. Nothing takes place in isolation. Events cascade upon each other. The world is too much with us. Everyone knows everything, right now, even if it�s wrong. Nobody knows anything.
What a stunning 10 days this country has just endured. History eventually may sort it out, but now there is only grief and dislocation.
Bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon last Monday, Patriot�s Day in the Hub City. By Friday, an entire American city had been locked down, an all-out manhunt was under way.
A fertilizer plant that may not have been inspected in 28 years blew up in Texas. At least a dozen firefighters and first-responders died. Around the nation, heroes were not in short supply. Some wore uniforms. Some wore running shorts. Some wore scrubs splattered in blood.
An Elvis impersonator was arrested, then released for sending letters laced with Ricin to the president and a U.S. senator. His family said he had mental problems.
On social media, it seemed anyone who�d ever been to Boston or run in a marathon felt compelled to share his feelings. President Barack Obama made an angry speech about the Senate�s decision not to pursue intensified background checks for those who wish to purchase firearms. He also made one of his elegiac post-disaster speeches in Boston.
The news media covered all of this relentlessly. Fact and rumor went head to head. Too often rumor won. Former cops, former FBI agents and former Homeland Security experts crowded TV studios, cashing in. Rudy Giuliani was there, of course. One of the experts identified Chechnya as part of the Balkans. Everyone knows everything, nobody knows anything.
Ten, 20, 30 years from now, the Senate�s gun vote will likely be seen as the most historically significant event of the week.
By the grim calculus of sheer carnage, the West, Texas, fertilizer plant explosion was a bigger disaster than Boston: Four times as many fatalities, as least as many injuries. Texas has a long and horrible record of industrial disasters. If early reports of inadequate regulation and inspection at the West plant are correct, it will magnify the tragedy. Firefighters shouldn�t have to die in the name of sloppy regulation of a potentially dangerous business.
But Boston had the optics, a terrible tragedy caught on hundreds of cameras in the midst of a civic celebration. Boston had the specter of terrorism. Boston had the drama of a manhunt and siege laid in the East Coast media heartland.
Speculation is becoming a national pastime in this nation now saturated in wall-to-wall information and guesswork. Not enough is known of motive in the Boston bombings and who else might be culpable. This could be a pair of screwed-up young men unable to understand life�s complexities.
If so, we�ve seen that before, at Columbine and Virginia Tech, Tucson, Aurora and Newtown. It could be an act of religious terrorism, like Fort Hood, Texas, Oak Creek, Wisc., or the 9/11 attacks.
Which is part of the trouble: The nation can barely keep up with the procession of horrors, much less absorb them, much less prescribe thoughtful remedies.
As a nation, the time is here to stop and think. And perhaps we need to care about each other, instead of finding fault in some kind of endless blame game. It�s how people in Boston and Texas are trying to heal right now.
The thing is, we can�t wait for next time. As a nation, we need to start now.

I'd like to confirm the starter usage on L6 cars.So I'm looking for the original starter numbers off of any 67-69 L6 car.Especially 67 since manual and auto may have used different part #'s.Pretty sure the 69 L6 starter I have at home is 1108365. It will be a while before I can confirm that....Thanks!
But that's not confirming the Camaro application. Sounds like this starter had many 69 L6 applications.Kurt

Hi everyone, first post so apologies if I break etiquette!
I'm trying out Xfce, really like it so far but I can't stop the 'Display Settings' dialog from popping up every few seconds. I have an external monitor plugged in to my laptop and I select to display on that monitor only, but it pops up again maybe 30 seconds later to ask me again. And again. And again. Leaving it open doesn't help - just keeps popping up. the only way I've found to kill it is to kill the xfce-settings-helper in 'Session and Startup', which would be fine but that also kills my keyboard shortcuts, which I kinda depend on.
So - how do I kill this dialogue (I have lxrandr popup on startup once and I choose how I want my displays to work) without killing my keyboard shortcuts? (Mint 11 Katya with Xfce 4.8 distributed by Xubuntu)
Thanks a lot for the help, and apologies if it's a stupid newbie question!
Is it the xfce4 Display Settings dialog that keeps popping up or the lxrandr one? (The xfce4 Display Settings dialog carries the title "Display" whereas the lxrandr one, based on screenshots I've seen, carries the title "Display Settings"). If its the lxrandr one, then:
- what is the command that you are using to autostart it?
- where are you putting this autostart command?
And, is there any reason why you're not using the xfce4 Display Settings manager (Alt-F2 then run xfce4-display-settings, or find it in the Settings Manager) when using xfce?
Hi ToZ
The dialog is titled 'Display settings' and starts with 'Several displays are available. Use:' before defaulting to the Laptop panel and offering the external display and both displays cloned. It's not the diaply
To help clarify, I have removed the 'Session and Startup' option I was using to auto start lxrandr (which is also in my Main Menu options as 'Monitor Settings' which is where I found it) and restarted my session. Same problem, the dialog I describe above prompts me to choose every maybe 30 seconds or so. As soon as I 'Quit program' on the xfce4-settings-helper in the 'Session and Startup' dialog, the popup stops. I have LXDE installed on the same system and lxrandr is part of that, which is where I know it from.
I hope that answers the questions and provides enough additional information
Then you could uninstall lxrandr and use only xfce4-display-settings.
@secipolla no good, following uninstall of lxrandr (and lxde as it's required) still got the same problem.
Then what program is it that is running? Open a terminal window and type in:
...the cursor will change to a +. Click on the "Display Settings" window and all of the window properties will display in the terminal window. Post back the last bit of text. It should help us identify the program that is running.
You can also try cleaning out your sessions cache (this will reset your saved sessions). You can do this via:
rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
It's quite possible that the program is starting automatically this way.
Hey ToZ
Here's that output - nice tip!

_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Display settings"
Hmmm, it is the xfce4-display-settings dialog that is popping up every 30 seconds. This is odd.
Is there anything relevant in your ~/.xsession-errors log file about this dialog box?
Does it happen when you use only the laptop screen and not the external monitor? (Maybe something is triggering it)
Anything in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? How about dmesg?

Nothing suspicious looking in dmesg...
Does this happen when you don't use the external monitor?
xfdesktop keeps on crashing - this is not good. Are you manually restarting it? (Not sure if its related).
Have you tried clearing your sessions cache?
Sorry for hacking into this topic, but I'm having this exact same problem. I think I might be able to give out some more details about it, even though I'm yet to find a solution for this.
First of all, I'm also using a laptop, particularly an HP Pavilion DV6 with ATI graphics and using the 'radeon' driver. The problem has happened before with the official ATI driver as well. I'm running openSUSE 12.1 and I have XFCE as well as GNOME installed. This has been happening both on openSUSE and Ubuntu Oneiric, except that on Oneiric, the XFCE display popup did not appear.
What has been common is that, this problem only happened (on both distributions) with an external monitor plugged in.
On both, the login manager reverted to default resolution right on boot. Then, on GNOME, with both distributions also, the resolution kept reverting to default and both displays automatically cloned. This could happen anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes after you set the resolution properly. GNOME does not have a prompt telling you which monitor to use.
On XFCE, I've had to set the monitors to manually extend through xrandr on session start (not lxrandr) also on both distributions. On Ubuntu, the computer didn't seem to mind this, and always set the resolution properly after the login screen. On openSUSE though, I keep getting this pop-up. It happens with the same frequency that the monitors used to reset when using GNOME. I think this might be directly related.
I've narrowed it down to three things, from observation. One, this is not distribution-specific. Two, this has something to do with the graphics driver or this computer in particular, and three, the monitors are behaving as if they keep detecting a new monitor being plugged in.
I've researched onto the hypothesis of disabling monitor plug n' play and see if this solved the problem. So far I have not yet found a way to do so. On another note, this is a rather recent problem, which did not happen with older versions of Linux. Back when X.org still used the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file instead of that new model, these problems didn't exist. So many new things have been implemented since then (Kernel 3.0, new xorg, upstart, etc) I don't even know where to trace this back to.
Anyway, I just wanted to share with you that this is likely not a XFCE related problem, and if you can find a solution, I'd be grateful. If you need any help to find the problem I'm up for it. I'm sick of this nagging problem. This computer has been riddled with graphics driver problems ever since I bought it.
Well since I have the same problem, here's how I hacked it (nasty) to get myself served until a better solution is found:
1) Move the original file (in case you decide to revert the changes; yes, it is the xfce4-display-settings):
sudo mv /usr/bin/xfce4-display-settings /usr/bin/xfce4-display-settings.original
2) Create a fake file:
sudo cp /bin/true /usr/bin/xfce4-display-settings
This fake xfce4-display-settings (native code) just returns "true" to keep the calling application happy. (I don't know which daemon keeps calling it).
5) Logoff/logon;Enjoy XFCE4. Of course your "Display" in xfce settings won't work now, so you'll want to install lxrandr via Software Center to get the functionality. It's icon will be the same but called "Monitor Settings"
You may have to repeat this after distribution upgrade.

I've run into this issue as well. Thunderfox's observations gave me an idea. My laptop has a hybrid graphics configuration, AMD/Intel. After turning off the discrete graphics chipset with vgaswitcheroo, the issue stopped. I haven't been able to determine what the root cause of the issue is, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say, at least in my situation, it has something to do with having more then one graphics chipset. There are no errors in Xorg.0.log, dmesg or xsession-errors. I'm currently running XFCE 4.10 on Xubuntu 13.10 with Linux 3.11. Fortunately for me I don't need the discrete graphics so for now I can leave it off.

Excellent work as always John. Could you please put up a crumb shot of this experimental cracker. Also, did you laminate/bookfold this or just shoot it straight on through your sheeter? Baked right after sheeting? Thanks.
This is incredibly informative, John. Well done.
Bob,Our workflow is as follows:Mix the doughLet the dough rise (about 80 to 90 minutes)Sheet the dough (we laminate ours) and cut out skinsStack the skins and refrigerateThe following cracker was rolled on Friday, so this is 96 hours old. Under normal circumstances it would be hard to get a skin this old to form a crust, and in most cases the oven tender would be constantly trying to find a hot spot in is oven to get some color. But, not this one.....this is another fantastic crust. And if you look very carefully at the crumb shot you will see the tiniest of pinholes which were created during the lamination process. I can't believe I even mean it, but maybe tomorrows pizza will be as good?The crumb shot is not of the pepperoni, green pepper and onion pizza, but of another experimental one we had tonight.John
John,That is an interesting set of experiments. To my eye, the pizzas made using the bromated All Trumps look more appealing.It would be interesting to see if there are ways to get the unbromated All Trumps to perform like the bromated All Trumps, for the benefit of those who might want to avoid the potassium bromate. For example, I wonder what the results would be if you increased the hydration of the unbromated All Trumps dough, used more yeast and a longer fermentation. It also appears that you did not re-ball the dough balls, as you have done on prior occasions. This makes me wonder what would happen if you reballed the dough ball with the unbromated All Trumps.Peter
Is the protein content the same for both the bromated and unbromated?
Thanks for your continuing experimentations fazzarino more cracker trials with that outrageous rise crust for this dough?
