Watch the behind-the-scenes for Tinashe's "Player" music video with Chris Brown.
Tinashe is getting fans excited for her music video for her Chris Brown-featured single, "Player," by dropping off the BTS today. The full music video is expected to follow on Monday, November 2nd.
In the behind-the-scenes, we get to hear from Tinashe on the idea or concept behind the song, as well as the concept for the video shoot itself, which Tinashe says takes place in some sort of "non-descript" future, and finds her battling various male dancers. We get a peak at the dance moves, shot in a downtown L.A. studio. Later on, Breezy makes an appearance.
Watch the BTS above. Stay tuned for the full video, and JOYRIDE.

Find Relief in Wearing Yoga Toes
To actually stretch and improve the strength of your foot, you can use toe separation devices called yoga toes. The design of these devices is similar to the foam separators you use when you get a pedicure, only, they give more support and separation to your toes, plus it is easy to care, because the material it is made of is a gel like substance. Some people like to walk around their homes on their feet or wear ill-fitting shoes that they suffer from foot or toe pains, and so it is beneficial for them to wear yoga toes to avoid such problems. Activities like tennis, aerobics, running, golf or dancing, can cause stress on toes and legs, and so if you are into participating or working in these activities, it is recommended that you get a pair of these devices to help avoid pains on your feet. People like small children and senior citizens would be relieved from pain due to long periods of standing if they use yoga toes since these devices help increase the circulation of their feet.
People having bunions, hammer toes and varicose veins will benefit also from wearing yoga toes. This is because this type of device is claimed to help increase the strength of your feet and improve flexibility of your toes and ankles.
As you put your feet into a pair of yoga toes, there is an immediate feeling of the lifting and spreading of your toes which lead to the stretching of your muscles and Achilles tendons, thus stimulating the nerves and connective tissue. Today, these yoga toes have a new design that makes it easier to get on and off, and this is made of a special long lasting and odor free compound of medical grade gel. Yoga toes are perfect for those who travels for hiking, walking or sightseeing since it gives comfort to your sore feet after those long hours.
Among the many health benefits of yoga toes are they straighten and strengthen bent toes, and stretch and align your feet muscles. Your arches can be improved through wearing these devices, and possibly even leading to correct your posture and thus relieve you from stress. Known to extend the Achilles tendons, these devices when worn will most likely improve your legs and feet's circulation.
Taking care and wearing of your yoga toes is simple by remembering that you cannot wear them the whole day while you are wearing your shoes. It means therefore that you have to set aside a period to wear this device like wearing it during your sleep or consider wearing it as you take a nap.

Robo-Car Roadblocks
This story appears in the October 2002 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
What happened to all those snazzy wireless features we were supposed to get in our automobiles? Remote diagnostics and emergency and navigation help are still on the map, says business research firm Jupiter Media Metrix. But the broader telematics vision has been shaken up by fairly deep potholes-a stock market crash, a recession and the specter of terrorism. Other barriers include "a lack of standards for subsystem interconnection, messaging protocols, hardware interfaces and signaling," adds Jupiter analyst Jay Horwitz.
Detroit and its wireless partners are still trying to figure out how they'll recover the $1,075 they've paid to outfit each of the 2.5 million telematics-equipped cars already on the road. Sub-scribers should double this year, and almost 80 percent of those interviewed by Jupiter want at least one telematics service. Half would chip in $400 upfront for the right service bundle. But that still won't cover telematics costs-much less profit. Also, consumers show little interest in duplicating the e-mail and voice-mail features of their phones and PDAs. Even though half of all cell minutes originate in automobiles, office productivity and location services are way down the wish list.
But services like remote diagnostics, collision detection or stolen-vehicle tracking also speak to the economic interests of the auto industry itself. As the automobile continues to become a computer on wheels, many of the technologies needed will be adopted anyway-just not as quickly as hoped.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood picks up directly after the grand finale of Assassin's Creed 2, with Ezio still in Roma in the late 15th Century and against the threat of Cesare Borgia and the Templars who have taken control of much of Italy after destroying Ezio's home of the Villa Auditore.
If that is all nonsense to you then you have most likely missed playing Assassin's Creed 2 where we were first introduced to Ezio, a distant descendant of Desmond Miles and Altair (from the first Assassin's Creed). Desmond is able to access Ezio's memories by use of the Animus, a virtual reality for the mind, where certain historical events are linked our hero (past and present) which are covering an ancient conspiracy with the Templars of 2012 also out to get at Desmond and the Animus before secrets of the power of the Apple of Eden are revealed.
Its a bit like 'Da Vinci Code' on steroids and lots of cool free-running and set in the past. So nothing like Da Vinci Code really then! But it does link back to the 1400′s where the majority of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood takes place.
So apart from a great story and more of the same fantastic free-running over the rooftops of Rome, the new additions to the series is now being able to build up a Brotherhood of your own and train them as you see fit to their own Guilds. Whether you want Thieves or Assassins to help you with your quests, the Brotherhood will open up a new level of play for Ezio as you try to defeat the Borgia and burn down their towers. You are able to upgrade the Assassin's with skill points that they earn after being successful on missions. Be careful though as if an Assassin is sent out on a mission and dies, he will not return and you will lose the experience and time you've put into them.
The city of Roma can be renovated after defeating a mini boss at each district. Once the boss (normally a soldier in some heavy duty armour with some guards) is defeated you can spend your coins on reopening and renovating the banks, stables, blacksmiths and art galleries to not only allow you to purchase equipment and upgrade but also each shop you reopen will earn money over a period of time which can be collected from an opened bank.
The combat has been modified slightly since Ezio's last outing. The AI enemies won't now wait for you to attack them and can sometimes attack together, meaning a group of Borgia soldiers surrounding Ezio won't be a series of 1 on 1′s with counter attacks – it now does feel like Ezio is really in a fight.
Another new feature is being able to leave the Animus at any time and return to 2012 and Desmond. Every now and again you will get a message flash up when in the Animus to say you have a new email – leaving the Animus to play as Desmond lets you read these and interact with the environment in the modern day. This helps provide a bit more freedom to the game overall as you're not stuck to doing what the game says, when it says it.
The Multiplayer version of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is another new feature and a very welcome one. There are a variety of game modes from Manhunt (Team) where staying hidden and evading the hunters is the key, to Wanted (free for all) where a contract is placed on the head of a player and everyone else comes after them but rather than a team effort it is very much free-for-all.
The Multiplayer works very well – a sense of urgency while running across roof tops, free running over buildings, up ladders and through the streets trying to escape the real life players trying to take you down first is intense but when you're one of the hunters, a rival player can turn their attentions to you at any time to take you out of the running by using a sneaky Assassinate move or a well timed blow from a crossbow – you have to be on your toes at all times. Thrilling stuff.
Overall this is one of the PlayEject team's top games – can't get enough but can't wait for the next installment either…!

Central to understanding a Markov Random Field is having a firm foundation of stochastic process in probability theory. Stochastic process depicts a sequence of random possibilities that can occur in a process over a continuum of time, such as predicting currency fluctuations in the currency exchanges market. With a Markov Random Field, however, time is replaced with space that occupies two or more dimensions and offers potentially wider applications for predicting random possibilities in physics, sociology, computer vision tasks, machine learning and economics. The Ising Model is the prototype model used in physics. In computers, it is most often used to predict image restoration processes.
Predicting random possibilities and their probabilities is increasingly important in a number of fields, including science, economics and information technology. Firmly understanding and accounting for random possibilities allows scientists and researchers to make quicker advances in research and model more accurate probabilities, such as predicting and modeling economic losses from hurricanes of various intensities. Using stochastic process, researchers can predict multiple possibilities and determine which ones are most probable in a given task.
When the future stochastic process does not depend on the past, based on its present state, it is said to have a Markov property, which is defined as a property without memory.The property can react randomly from its present state since it lacks memory. Markov assumption is a term assigned to the stochastic process when a property is assumed to hold such a state; the process is then termed Markovian or a Markov property. Markov Random Field, however, does not specify time, but rather represents a characteristic that derives its value based on immediate neighboring locations, rather than time. Most researchers use an undirected graph model to represent a Markov Random Field.
To illustrate, when a hurricane makes landfall, how the hurricane acts and how much destruction it causes is directly related to what it encounters when making landfall. Hurricanes hold no memory of past destruction, but react according to immediate environmental factors. Scientists could use Markov Random Field theory to graph potential random possibilities of economic destruction based on how hurricanes have responded in similar geographic situations.
Making use of Markov Random Field is potentially helpful in a variety of other situations. Polarization phenomena in sociology are one such application as well as using the Ising model in understanding physics. Machine learning is also another application and may prove particularly useful in finding hidden patterns. Pricing and the design of products may benefit from using the theory as well.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Minimalist Dip Meter
In days gone by a radio amateur always had a dip meter close to hand in his 'shack'. Now that people can afford oscilloscopes, the poor old dip meter has lost its importance and is frequently no longer to be seen. Actually this is a shame because many tasks are much easier to carry out with a dip meter.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & goodroi
I'm in the group of quality sites that were all destroyed in the SERPS around December 22 of last year. It looked like in late September things were corrected but I'm back in exile once again.
I feel I must explain that my site is actual quality and I'm not some poser who throws up a few pages, waits 3 weeks and comes here complaining to you.
1. My content. I provide content that is absolutely unique to the Interment. It can be found no where else. With my content, it is absolutely free and there are no banner ads or solistations running on my page. This content, because it's unique is very expensive to develop. I'm not talking my time but with hard costs. My content is so good I get thank you emails daily thanking me for such a valuable resource. Yes, I have an ego and I do it for the kudos.
2. Who links to me? The very best sites in my area. I have links from all ivy league universities, education sites around the world, personal education sites, U.S. Library of Congress, etc. These are all high value links from solid authority sites like mine with long established time on the net.
3. My past SERPS. Number 1 for searches that produces results in the 5 to 20 million. About 20th and for single word searches that produces results around 45 million. Site visitors, about 300,000 uniques per month. Hey, I was happy, people searched for things that match my site content and I was found.
1. I'm tired of doing a site search of my homepage site title (which is unique I have non dictionary sit title) and seeing my site running under another domain. I'm not an seo export so I don't know how that's done but I don't like it.
2. I'm tired of doing G search on absolutely unique text content and see not my site, but spam sites that pump in MSN search results.
3. I'm tired of doing G searches of my site name and see all the sites that link to me. How ironic, I have a 100% unique site name and what comes up is not my site but all those who link to me.
4. I'm tired of all the sites that provide direct links deep into my content who steal my page text because they're too lazy to write it theme selves be returned in the results while my site is nowhere.
5. I'm tired of searching for unique text content on my site and seeing spammy sites that cloak my DMOZ site description and pump out pay per click ads.
6. Finally, I'm tired of searchers looking for my world class content not finding me.
I'm still of the do-nothing position, but how long is long enough?
If you made it this far, thank you, I would like to know if you think I am a whiner and should just shut up and go away or is something broken with G that you think they will fix?
As I said, this IS a whiner thread, but with some merit I belive, I would feel a bit better to whine further with other education/quality sites that have experienced a similar history :-)
thank you,
Other sites will mention you, then people can find their way back to you through _their_ SERPs listings.
Keep researching (here), and find out _the_ reason you got dumped, and what to do about it.
15. Plaster your absolute URL(s), phone number, email address, AND absolute IMG urls all over your pages.
Then bar offsite image linking, from a particular image directory, using .htaccess, replacing all offsite linked-to images with an image of your bottom (called a 'butt', in America).
You could also put the words 'KISS THIS!' using PhotoShop, on said image.
Makes it less worthwhile to copy your content, if they get a lot of broken images, and big ads for your site in it.
15a. Type this into Google:
inurl:www.yoursite.com -site:www.yoursite.com
... to find possible plagiarists.
16. Use Server Side Includes and JavaScript to show different small snippets of HTML to surfers only, than that shown to SE spiders.
Nothing visible, nothing drastic, everybody gets 99.9% the same page, just enough to make the stolen content different to what the SE's get.
How do you naturally attract links to your good content if no one can find your site in the serps to know it exists to be able to link to it?
I wonder how GG and Matt Cutts would answer that?
But they won't...
Anyone reading this going to LV this month? If so - could you ask Matt this for me?
Submit to other directories, promote offline, write free articles for distribution, give away a free gizmo, do something outre.
It could be argued that those things are only being done to get links to boost your ranking - which is exactly what they tell us we are not supposed to do. If I ask myself 'Am I only writing articles with a link to my site to boost my rankings?' - the answer of course is 'yes'! Would I do it if search engines didn't exist? No! (Sure, it would still help a site even if SE's didn't exist - but, honestly - I'll only be doing it for SE rankings.)
16. Use Server Side Includes and JavaScript to show different small snippets of HTML to surfers only, than that shown to SE spiders.
That may not be a good idea to show something different to SE's than to visitors.
And the problem with trying to track down everyone who might be stealing content - is that it would take too much time up - time that would be better spent writing content - and many of the people doing it live in places where their ISP's won't do anything about it anyway.
I've had my main site up for 8 years and grow weary with the whole LINKS and DUBLICATE CONTENT mess.
If I may whine a little longer... In my business, the whole notion of inbound links makes no sense. If I ran a museum or an art gallery site, maybe. But since inbound links are "important", I play the "reciprocal" game like all my competitors (I have 57 while my #1 competitor has 372).
Today I did my monthly search for sites that have stolen content from my site. One of these even had the nerve to place a CopyScape logo on their (mine) page!
And on and on it goes. Thanks to Webmaster world for a forum where I can vent... my dog doesn't understand.
inurl:www.yoursite.com -site:www.yoursite.com"
I tried it thanks for the tip.
Question is this a hijacking?
[linuxbrew.com...] nph-proxy.cgi/000110A/http/www.mysite.com/
I don't know. I just read that tip in another post here.
That link you gave is password-protected.
I searched on my own domain name. Showed some odd stuff, like the link you posted. Google caches of the pages looked odd.
17. Put "noarchive" meta tags in all your pages
<meta NAME="robots" CONTENT="index,follow,noarchive">
<meta name="googlebot" content="noarchive">
That won't stop people grabbing your pages, but it's one less resource for people who want to poke around your site.
And the problem with trying to track down everyone who might be stealing content - is that it would take too much time up - time that would be better spent writing content - and many of the people doing it live in places where their ISP's won't do anything about it anyway.
My own site ran into trouble in September because of content thieves. I lost about 25% of my traffic overnight. It was obvious that the keywords affected were victims of content theft. I got angry and decided to go after the content thieves.
I searched for unique text stolen from my articles and found literally thousands of sites. However, I decided to ignore the results that showed up as Supplemental and just target the few dozen that remained.
I initially emailed 17 sites. If I got no reply I mailed their hosts. If this didn't work I contacted Google (DMCA). The results so far:
12 sites removed the content
3 sites were removed by their hosts
1 site was deleted by Google
1 site still remains
My site has recovered around half of its traffic so far and I am pleased and surprised at how effective this has been. It may have used up my valuable time, but it was not time wasted.
It definitely looks like a hijacking. this thread might help you.
I email the site and the email was returned. So I looked-up the .com & IP and found a abuse email address. I email the abuse email, now waiting for a replay.

The idea is that requests for http://example.com/anypage.htm get redirected to http://www.example.com/anypage.htm
This stops duplicate versions of your site being found by Google, on the same web space.
Your code says that if the environmental variable HTTP_HOST (your domain) does not start with example.com, redirect it to http://example.com.
Also, unlike my example, it doesn't specify that the request is case-insensitive. That's what [NC] means.

buy accutane online cheap canada "No one will protect what they don't care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced."
– http://nutritiononeslp.com/?p=72 David Attenborough
Growing up in the Himalayan Mountains in a small valley known as Rishikesh in India, I have always been in love with mountains and I feel they can take anyone's breath away.
I am a tough cookie, so it is not very easy to impress me, but it does not mean I don't appreciate my surroundings or the hard work that has been invested in it. However, in order to make me feel WOW about a certain place, it should be astonishing.
Currently, Faroe Islands have done the trick quite well.
Faroe Islands are an archipelago between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic, about halfway between Norway and Iceland, 320 kilometers north-northwest of Scotland.(61.8926° N, 6.9118° W)
It is ethereal and immaculate. You probably may not have seen anything as pristine as this. The catch here is that you need to be at your fittest to be able to make the most out of your trip.
To reach and witness every viewpoint, you will have to hike, climb or at least walk for a minimum of an hour. It is only then that you will be able to experience the beauty of the Faroe Islands in all its glory.
It truly is another one of those "Heaven on Earth" places, undoubtedly meant for nature, hiking lovers and landscapes photographers.
Therefore, I am going to mention the best hikes in the Faroe Islands which you should consider doing. There are more than 25-30 hikes in these archipelagos and all provide you with the best views possible but, these are the best ones according to me which serve your soul purpose. I hiked 6 of them, lets see how many you can conquer. :p
Let's begin!
Midvagur Bosdalafossur
Gásadalsbrekkan or Bøur Gásadalur
Eggjarklettur, Høgoyggj or Nólsoy Borðan
Kolfjarðardalur Leynar
Tórshavn to Kirkjubøur
Saksun TjørnuvÍk
Sandur SøltuvÍk
Fact: All the hikes on these islands are free except the one at Mykines Island which is for 100 Kr ($15-20 or 12-15 BP or around 15 Euros). According to me you need not hire a tour guide, but that is always an option. There are many local tour operators who would love to take you around their homeland. What I am trying to say is that this country gives you all the freedom to do what you want. Obviously, there are some limitations. *sly grin*
Slaettaratindur (Difficulty: Average | 4 hours return | Kind of Children Friendly | 5 kilometers)
Standing at 880m, this is country's highest mountain. You will come across a parking area on your left when you will be coming from Eidi. At first you can start to walk towards the mountain from any possible and visible way till the time you reach the altitude of 500-600 meters or say after walking for about 35-45 minutes. At this point the actual hikes starts where you now must follow a particular route. From the moment you start to see Haldorsvik, that's when you would know your hike has just begun.
Mykinesholmur (Difficulty: Average | 4 hours return | Children Friendly but difficult at some stages | 9 kilometers)
Nowhere in the Faroe Islands you can experience Puffins as closely as you do here. It is very common to see them fly near you or it might also be possible that they are standing right beside you. I believe they are such pretty birds with such a cute face!!! I totally love them!! They seem like the tiniest creatures who are so friendly. You will always see them with their daily diet.
A lot of them to be precise. They will always have a one or two or even more in their mouth all the time.
Follow the village sign towards Mykinesholmur as soon as you get off the ferry in the Mykines Island. The path that goes up to the lighthouse is the easiest one to follow. You just have to walk on the travelled path without disturbing the flora and fauna of the island.
Midvagur Bosdalafossur (Difficulty: Very Easy | 2 hours Return | Children Friendly | 8 kilometers)
I often refer it to as the LAKE ABOVE THE OCEAN. It is one of those famous photos you must have seen before coming to the Faroe Islands. After driving 5-6 kilometers from the airport towards the smallest capital of the world, Tórshavn, you will notice the lake Sorvagsvaten which is technically just beside the airport's runway.
The hiking route is clearly visible from the works of previous hikers. It is a 120 minutes return hike to the peak which is famous among the travelers as, 'LAKE-ABOVE-THE-OCEAN' point. Reach the top and get those cameras rolling and shooting.
Villingardalsfjall (Difficulty: Difficult | 4 hours return | Not Children Friendly | 5-6 kilometers)
According to many, it is the most difficult hike on the islands. The reason being many loose stones and its steep angle. It is not suitable for children.
As it is a hike on the Faroe Islands, you basically start from anywhere and end up anywhere because there are no specific rules regarding hiking except for the fact that you don't disturb the flora and fauna on the islands. In this hike (due to its difficulty factor), you will be guided through every single step you take. For example, there are blue pipes on the way which will show you the path towards the top. If you follow those pipes, as far as I know, you will not face a single problem.
Gásadalsbrekkan (Difficulty: Average | 5 hours return | Not Children Friendly | 4 kilometers)
You now have two hiking routes to choose from. You have the option to either hike over the Arnafjall Mountain which is in Gásadalur. The route starts in the valley about three kilometres west of the village of Bøur. The path begins about one kilometer south (or left) of the tunnel entrance. You can see the path, which meanders up the Gásadalsbrekkan.
Eggjarklettur, Høgoyggj (Difficulty: Average | 5 hours return | Children Friendly | 12 kilometers)
The hike is moderate difficulty. You can complete the hike, grab a snack at a local snack shop and catch the return ferry to Tórshavn at 4:50 pm. In the island of Nólsoy this is the only hike possible to see the historical lighthouse. It offers a great view from up there.
Kolfjarðardalur Leynar (Difficulty: Fairly Easy | 2 hours Return | Children Friendly | 2.5 – 3.5 Kilometers)
Hvannhagii (Difficulty: Average | 3 hours | Children Friendly | 9 kilometers)
Tórshavn – Kirkjubøur (Difficulty: Fairly Easy | 4 – 5 Hours | Children Friendly | 8 kilometers)
Saksun TjørnuvÍk (Difficulty: Kind of difficult | 5 hours | Children Friendly | 6 kilometers)
Sandur SøltuvÍk (Difficulty: Fairly Easy | 4 Hours | Children Friendly | 8 kilometers)

Air Berlin Replaces Cost Cutting Expert with Aviation Sector Pro
Air Berlin announced Monday that Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, currently its head of strategy, will succeed Hartmut Mehdorn as the chief executive. His remit is to turn around the fortunes of the German midsize carrier which is working on a new cost-cutting program having failed to turn a profit since 2007. Archibald Preuschat reports.
Whether on land or in the air, when it comes to solid cost cutting Hartmut Mehdorn is the man for the job.
Mr. Mehdorn has made the rounds at German corporations, having worked for Daimler and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen over his long career.
Mr. Mehdorn's cost-cutting skills were in full evidence when he headed state-owned railway Deutsche Bahn for a decade. His main task was to make the company fit for an initial public offering, which never happened due to market conditions. Still, when he stepped down in 2009, many German railway customers cheered because a decline in the level of Deutsche Bahn services was considered a reflection of his cost-cutting measures.
But giving up the helm of the financially troubled Air Berlin could be interpreted as a sign that cost cutting alone is not enough to effect a turnaround.

"Kids these days! They're lazy, they don't do anything! They'll always on their portable radios or whatever it is in their hands!"
While that's certainly an overreaction, there's a hint of truth to it. There's not doubt that kids are getting more and more sedentary. It's reflected not only in an increase in kids becoming more and more obese, but in the other health problems that are arising.
But in some ways, it's not their fault. They're living in a different world than any of their parents did. So it's important, as parents, to understand exactly what's happening.
Exercise Is Being Taken Away: Gym class used to be an everyday thing. Then it went to three times a week, then two. In many schools, it's now once a week. Once. All of that exercise has been gotten rid of to try to bring up test scores, even when it's been proven that the physical activity the kids get are actually better at bringing up those scores. Exercising the body exercises the mind. The less exercise they get, the worse they do.
Kids are also spending less time outdoors because of stranger danger…they're not playing at the park, walking home from school, or riding bikes nearly as much.
Their Activities Are Sedentary: Most of us watched a lot of TV growing up, but that TV was the only screen in the home. It was easy for mom to turn it off and make sure it was off. Now most homes have 5 to 10 screens, all fighting for a kids attention.
So what can be done? Introduce some new physical activities into their lives that they want to do. We got the activities for kids that will get them moving and get them out of the house in a fun, safe environment. Call our kids gym today or stop by for a tour.

Headline notes for rules updates and other changes
We are in the process of standardising the durations of all spells and abilities across the system.
Some spells will have increased in duration, going from 12 hours to a new 30 hour category (specifically chosen as a duration that is (generally) longer than a scenario). Conversely some durations will have been reduced. For example rest periods will be 30 minutes.
Most spells which had the option for increased duration (Death Rune, Commune etc.) will have their durations reduced and be formally categorised as "Rituals". All rituals can be cast as normal spells for the standard effect, but they also have the option to cast as a Ritual. Rituals allows other characters to contribute power during casting in order to achieve an increased duration or greater area of effect. The "re-lifing" spells, Resurrection, Create Unliving and Reincarnation, will also be categorized as Rituals. Casting them as a standard spell will be much more costly, but as a Ritual the caster is able to pass those costs onto other characters involved rather than sacrificing their own power.

Chairman of the Global Brands Group of Companies, Mario Sabga-Aboud has issued a statement apologising for comments made on the recent CNN production, 'Parts Unknown' that featured Trinidad and Tobago.
Sabga-Aboud has been receiving criticism after he said that while people of Syrian descent represented 1 percent of the population, they were the 'most powerful'.
In the conversation that followed during a family dinner with 'Parts Unknown' host Anthony Bourdain, another family member made reference to the diminishing middle-class and expressed fear that it might no longer serve as a buffer between the "haves" and the "have nots", leading to possible civil commotion.
But today Sabga-Aboud is admitting that his words were "careless" and misrepresented himself and his values.
The following is Sabga-Aboud's statement issued today:
"On the recently broadcast CNN show 'Parts Unknown' I used careless words in referring to the standing of citizens of Middle Eastern descent in our society, and ended up misrepresenting myself and my values. I have never taken for granted the blessing to be a born and bred Trinbagonian.
I am, and have always been humbled by the opportunities and support I have received in my over 30 years in business in T&T. Over these many years, I have met with many people across the wider society who in one way or another have positively impacted and enriched my life.
This is testament to the amazing people of this country and as a Trinbagonian, I cherish that and I oer my deepest apologies to anyone whom I oended. I always treat with appreciation, love and respect the members of my sta, many of whom are like my family because they have been with me for over 25 and 30 years, and are fundamentally the reason for my accomplishments.
This was a regrettable moment where my excitement led me to misrepresent myself as boastful instead of proud. Though I cannot retract my words, I hope that you all recognise my remorse and accept my sincere apology."

All Is forgiven
M. K. Marlowe | North-East | 07/20/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This was an album that went un-noticed by most. If you were lucky enough to hear it, most would agree it was a fine first effort by this rock band. And even though few did notice the album, the courts did I,m told make them change their name to "Red Siren" , as the name "Siren" had already been claimed by another group. I did not get the chance to buy the group's follow up album. I wish I did, because they like many bands , seemed to dissappear into thin air."
Overlooked indeed, but a 5-star album?
Justin Gaines | Northern Virginia | 01/02/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)
"1989's All is Forgiven was the debut album by the band Siren (briefly known as Red Siren). While the Kansas-esque cover artwork might suggest a progressive rock album, Siren's sound definitely falls into the mainstream pop/rock style of the late 80's. I hear a lot of similarities to artists like Private Life, Robin Beck, and 80's era Heart, and singer Kristen Massey's vocals sound like a cross between Stevie Nicks and Belinda Carlisle.
While I don't necessarily agree that this album is worth a 5-star rating, it's still a very solid pop/rock album. When it's good (see One Good Lover, Stand Up, and Rock-a-Bye), it's very good. Unfortunately some of the more laid back songs like How Dare a Woman and the title track tend to kill the momentum a bit and give the album a sense of unevenness. And while the musicianship is very tight, you can't help but wish they had come up with some better guitar hooks to really grab people's attention. It was the 80's after all.
I do agree that this album was sadly overlooked. Given some of the similar artists that made it big in that era, Siren definitely deserved more success, and would have had just that if the record company had done something - anything - to promote the band. Instead the band's legacy lies with those who were either with them from the start or people like me who ran across the disc in a cutout bin and decided to take a chance."
There's No Justice in the Music Biz
D. Means | Yorktown, VA USA | 12/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"As if we needed more proof that there is no justice in the music biz the fact that this absolutely wonderful album never became popular is proof enough by itself! I have loved this for years and would gladly pay 10 times the current asking price if I didn't already have it (since I'd rather have it than all 10 if the current top sellers...).
I would put this in the light rock category. There is a female singer with a great voice. The song lyrics are also great! If I were to compare them with any other similar groups, they would be Toronto and maybe Quarterflash.
So, do yourself a favor and get this while you still can. I'm surprised that there any still available since it has been out of print for quite a while.

12-year-old girl allegedly raped, commits suicide in shame in West Bengal
Ketugram: A 12-year-old girl set herself on fire in shame today after she was allegedly raped by a neighbour in Burdwan district in Ketugram, police said today.
The class VI student was allegedly raped by her neighbour when she was alone in her house following which she poured kerosene and set herself on fire, said S M H Mirza, SP, Burdwan district.
She was rushed to Katwa hospital where she succumbed to her injuries, he said.
"We have recorded the statement of the victim before she died. She told us that she took the drastic step out of shame following the rape committed by her neighbour Amar Majhi," said Mirza.
"She also said that Majhi used to stalk her often while she went to school and had taken advantage of her being alone at home today. We have arrested him, though he managed to flee the area soon after committing the crime," he said.
An FIR was lodged with the police by the victim's father, police said.

A funeral for the second victim in the deadly casino charter bus crash in Irving will be held today in Colleyville.
Paula Hahn, 69, died in the crash last week while the bus was going to Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma.
Funeral services for Hahn will be held at 3 p.m. at the Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home in Colleyville.
Hahn's family is suing Cardinal Coach Line, which owned the bus, and Loyd Rieve, the bus driver, in a wrongful death lawsuit that cites "negligent actions" in the crash.
On Tuesday, friends and family remembered Sue Taylor, affectionately called "Casino Sue," at a memorial in Hurst.
Taylor organized multiple casino trips including the trip last Thursday.
More than 40 others were injured in the bus rollover that shut down state Highway 161 on April 11.

Housing Recap
Things have certainly been busy since March 12 when I finished my FamilySearch support mission. The BIG thing was selling our acreage. This required some repairs and upgrades. We painted the walls, installed new heavy vinyl "Ceramalite" floor tiles throughout the upstairs areas that did not have laminate flooring. We also installed it in the stairway and downstairs bathroom. I also replaced the vanity and some drywall in the downstairs bathroom. I did minor electrical repairs and upgrades including new light fixtures in the downstairs hallway and the bedrooms. I installed a new water heater and new stairs into the basement. We hauled many trailer loads to the waste transfer station and made 2 trips to the Rosshaven land fill site. Some of the items were left in the recycle shed and were quickly claimed by other people. Other good stuff was simply dumped, including a washer and dryer, dresser, recliner chair, and old tools.
On July 5th we moved into Evelyn's new house in Spruce Grove. But most days we returned to finish various jobs on the acreage. Certainly the most puzzling was an odor in the furnace room. I checked for propane leaks by using liquid dish soap and water and found none. I bought a gas detector from Home Depot and it detected neither propane nor carbon monoxide. I plugged the floor drain in case it was the source of the odor. I checked the gas flue size (when I bought the furnace I was told the flue size bordered on needing a liner) and online research indicated that installing a flue liner would probably not solve the problem. Lastly I checked the vent and screen on the outside intakes for combustion air and cold air return. The screen was virtually plugged by cotton fluff from the trees. I cleaned this with a stiff brush, and I hope I have solved the odor problem by allowing fresh air to enter the furnace room. I was also reassured by the fact that the home inspector, gas inspector and 2 teams of appraisers found no problem. July 31 was the possession date for the new owners. We hope they love the acreage as we have loved it.

Treatment Resources for the Paraphilic and Hypersexual Disorders
MD MEG S. KAPLAN, PhD
View PDF of this publication.
This guide lists treatment resources in the United States that may be useful for both patients and clinicians. The first three listings describe resources that may be useful for individuals with paraphilias and the clinicians who work with them. The last section provides information on 12-step programs that may be helpful both for individuals with paraphilias and for those with hypersexual disorders. We have had extensive experience with the Safer Society Foundation, Inc. and with the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) and can recommend them highly as informational resources.With regard to 12-step programs, while some of our patients with paraphilic and/or hypersexual disorders have reported benefit from these, others have not, and we offer this information as including possible resources that patients may want to investigate further.

This video illustrates the dramatic effect of migrating from the day-to-day grind of a spreadsheet-bound system for planning, budgeting and forecasting to a unified environment in the cloud. It shows compelling how with the right technology, one modern finance function was able to realise its goal of adding value to the business after years of toil and frustration.

At a U.S. Chamber of Commerce transportation conference in Washington late last week, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx called for a long-term transportation bill because a "one- or two-year band-aid won't cut it this time."
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) expires at the end of September and unless Congress acts, federal funding for public transit and other transportation projects could cease.
Foxx said the infrastructure deficit problem has been "akin to termites in the basement, slowly eating away at our foundation" but he added, "Now it is a wolf at the door."
The DOT secretary repeated earlier comments that the trust fund's highway account could fall into a deficit position—and DOT could "bounce checks"—as early as August.
Foxx did not explain the specifics of the long-term bill he envisions, but he did tell attendees that a bill is needed to "reshape the transportation landscape" building onto MAP-21 and going further.
For DART, a long-term transportation bill allows for planning of larger transit projects such as a second light rail line through downtown Dallas.

Fosters Needed for Gatesville Rotties!
We've received new information on the Houston SPCA/Gatesville seizure. One highest-level need right now is to line up fosters to volunteer to provide temporary (one-to-three months) foster care for seniors, medically compromised, and behaviorally challenged (rambunctious teenagers and timid females) Rotties. At this point, they are looking for 30-40 foster homes for these categories of higher-needs dogs.
The dogs are currently located in Houston, Texas, in the custody of the Houston SPCA. But once the legal process is over (a week to two), most of the dogs will be transferred to the custody of non-profit rescues as organized by the American Rottweiler Club. There is a preference for fosters to be in Texas or nearby states so that the dogs do not have to travel too far. Fosters will need to keep the dogs as in-house pets (not "yard dogs" or in kennels 24/hours/day) and may need to house train and leash train the dogs.
Once the dogs are available for adoption, they will be adopted out through local non-profit rescue groups. In addition, the dogs will be marketed on the website RottNet.net, and through adoption events.
If you are interested and available to help save these magnificent and abused dogs' lives, please send an e-mail to Lew Olsen at firstname.lastname@example.com. In your e-mail, please provide your name, location, and contact information, as well as any experience you might have with medically compromised dogs and timid females.
Together, we can save these dogs. We're just going to need your help to do it!

Alvaro Morata is one of the best young talents in world football, according to Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta.
The Italian champions announced on Saturday that the 21-year-old had completed his €20 million move from Real Madrid after weeks of protracted negotiations, with Morata signing a five-year contract.
Although he acknowledged it was a battle to convince Madrid to part with the Spain youth international - as well as fend off interest from other clubs - Marotta believes the lengthy pursuit of the player will pay dividends for the club in the coming seasons.
"He is 21, comes from Real Madrid and is one of the best young talents in European football and the world," Marotta told reporters at Morata's unveiling.
"He won two titles with the Spain Under-19s and U21s, and won the Golden Boot for those tournaments [the 2011 U19 European Championship and 2013 U21 European Championship]. He took part in Real Madrid's recent Champions League victory.
"He's played six seasons with the Merengues, so he has tasted all the success of the team and found a winning mentality. All of this led us to choose him.
"Negotiations have been difficult, Real Madrid wanted to hold him back and there was competition from other clubs. If Alvaro is here today it is because he wanted to wear this glorious shirt.
"Real have the right to a repurchase, but the player is here and will have a great experience with us. We hope he can stay here, hence the five-year contract."

Best gift for wife – Add meaning to your gift
Showering the best of gifts on their wives is the common mentality of all men. Whether it is birthday or wedding anniversary or Valentine's Day husbands always want to impress their wives. It is not always necessary that wives have to be pampered with expensive, exotic and unique gifts. Even simple and inexpensive gifts can make a great impression. What matters most here is that the gift should be close to your heart. Selecting the right gift for wife could be a daunting task unless you are sure of where to look for the best gifts. The choice is immense but not all of them suit everyone, depending on your wife's taste and preference you need to pick a gift.
The easiest and the simplest gift that a man can get for his wife, is a greeting card or a flower bouquet. Though women are content with whatever they receive from their dear one, to bring out the true joy in her, men have to do their homework thoroughly. Though gifts are not always equated to money, at times a little extra spending can make the day more special for everyone. The thought that you have taken some time off to look out for a special gift for your wife can add meaning to the gift.
Astonish your beloved wife with exotic gifts. When we talk of exotic what can be more striking than jewelry. Depending on your budget you can pick some great designs. Fashion jewelry is available in amazing designs and is priced nominally. If you have the money to splurge then you can pick some diamond and gold jewelry. Some like simple and elegant designs whereas others prefer bold and gaudy patterns. Verify their taste before buying jewelry and also keep the bill intact for any replacement. Husbands can be sure that the jewelry gift for wife will definitely sweep them off their feet as you hardly find any women who do not prefer jewelry.
Perfumes, cosmetics, lingerie and other personal care products are what women desire. If you are thinking of a gift for you lady love then you can pick from the range of bathing products that include bathing bars, shampoos, conditioner, body lotion, moisturizer and massaging oils. When it comes to cosmetics go for branded nail polish, lip colors, face creams and the like. An appointment with the beautician or a spa coupon also can make wonderful gift items for your wife. Brand can play an important role.
If you are not sure of their personal taste then you can go home décor products or kitchen appliances that she had always wanted for the house and surprise her. Since most women spend majority of their time in the kitchen any home appliances will be a welcome gift for your wife. Sometime recipe books or even cooking CDs work wonders. A vacuum cleaner or a barbecue grill can also express your love for her. Though the market is loaded with home appliances brands, it is advised that you always pick her favorite brand.

Corset busks that open have been around since the mid 1800's. Made of metal an opening corset busk consists of two parts; one side has knobs and the other loops. When the loops are hooked over the knobs the busk acts like a clasp to hold a corset shut. This means that you can get into a corset without someone to dress you. Always loosen the corset laces before attempting to get into and out of the corset. Since a corset is essentially smaller that your body, trying to put the corset on without loosening the corset laces will be impossible and trying to take the corset off without loosening the ties will potentially damage the busk.
You have choices when buying a busk. The most common busk is a "regular busk" or "straight busk" which is white with silver coloured knobs and loops. More colour options have become available in the last few years so you can now get "gold busks" that have gold knobs and loops, "antique brass busks", "black busks" and even ones that have "diamonds"/clear crystals set in the knobs that are called "diamond busks" (though no, they are not real diamonds). Having colour options means you can co-ordinate the busk to the fashion fabric.
There are also "wide busks" and "spoon busks" both of which are silver in colour and made from stainless steel. The "wide busks" are extremely supportive and a good choice for women or men needing/wanting more support - they don't flex nearly as well as a regular busk so they don't curve over the chest well. The "Spoon busk" is historically accurate for corsets of the late 1800's and the bowl of the spoon is meant to cup the stomach...not the chest!
The busk (regardless of style or colour) should be put into the corset with the loop piece on the right-hand side so that the wearer can pull the loop section with their right hand while holding the left side in place. Hooking the loops over the knobs.
Busks can be found in many lengths from 4" to 18" so you can likely find one for any project you have.

If the surface of the stainless steel plate is not uniform, it is necessary to make a uniform oxide skin in the process of heat treatment. To achieve this goal, in addition to the high surface quality of stainless steel plates, it also depends on whether the pickling process is in place. Therefore, we must pay attention to the surface cleaning of stainless steel plates before heating and heat treatment before heat treatment. The following is to focus on the relationship between the surface quality of the stainless steel plate and the heat treatment process.
First of all, if the surface of stainless steel plate is attached to oil when heated, the thickness of oxide scale on the area of oil attachment is different from that of other parts, and it will also lead to carburizing. The parts of the oxidized subcutaneous stainless steel matrix that are carburized are seriously eroded by acid. The oil droplets that are sprayed at the beginning of the burning of the heavy oil burner will have a larger impact if they are attached to the stainless steel plate.
In addition, the operator's fingerprints also have adverse effects on the stainless steel plate. Therefore, the operation can not directly touch the stainless steel plate, stainless steel plate, don't let the dip in the new oil, such as oil plate cold processing if there is left, must be in the trichloroethylene degreasing agent, caustic soda solution and then use fully skimmed warm water to thoroughly clean, then do heat treatment processing.
If the surface of stainless steel plate has impurities, especially when organic matter or ash is attached to the surface of stainless steel plate, heat treatment will have a negative effect on the oxide scale.
In addition, the surface of the stainless steel directly exposed to the flame is also different from that produced in the area without contact. Therefore, when heated, it must not be allowed to contact the flame directly.
If the local processing of stainless steel in heat treatment before there is a residual oxide, oxide and residual parts and no oxide parts after heating, different thickness and composition can produce oxide on the surface resulting after pickling is not uniform, so should pay attention not only to the final heat treatment, but also completely note that the middle heat treatment and pickling.
The surface finish of stainless steel will also be affected. If the surface finish is different, even if the same heating is applied, the surface roughness area of the stainless steel plate is different from that of the fine area. For example, in the area where the partial defects are cleared and not cleaned, the oxide scale is also different, which will lead to the uneven surface of the stainless steel plates after pickling.
The last point is the difference of the atmosphere in the furnace. The different atmosphere in each part of the furnace will also lead to different changes in the oxide scale. This will also lead to uneven after acid washing. Therefore, in the heating, the atmosphere in the various regions of the furnace must be kept the same, and this must consider the circulation of the atmosphere.

Note to MEE et al: 40 dernier does not equal opaque!
As I type this, I'm on a train staring at some girl's butt cheeks. She's wearing 40 dernier tights (I know these things), a long multi-coloured vest (let no one tell me it's a dress!), a grey cardigan and a cropped jacket. Pity that none of the 4 layers she's wearing is long or thick enough to cover her pink-pant-clad behind.
Why oh why do we do these things?!
One day last week, I went to M&S on my lunch break. As I was leaving, I noticed a member of staff clocking off her shift. Like my friend on the train, she was also wearing 40 dernier tights, a teeny weeny dress and short jacket. She ran ahead of me and that was when my eyes beheld her in all her glory. In her rush to don her jacket, she had hiked up the back of her dress…or what there was of it. At size 18-20, there was a whole lot of bottom on display.
Throw in the fact that she was wearing a thong for good measure.
Unfortunately for her she was running and I couldn't catch up with her to inform her of the rapid per second depreciation of her bride price. I guess what she didn't know couldn't hurt her.
I understand why people do these things. On days when I'm feeling too sexy for my skin, I pull out my black Lycra mini skirt (watch out fellas!). I also convince myself that my 40 dernier tights are opaque enough should there be any incidents or accidents. When I leave my house, the hem of the skirt is halfway down my thighs but by the time I get to the station, it's just about covering my behind. I spend the whole day tugging and tugging at it. On those days I conveniently forget how much I insult girls I see doing the same.
'If she's not comfortable why did she wear it?!'
'Don't pull it down o, leave it! Abi you wanted to wear mini?!'
I usually return home vowing never to wear the skirt again. A few weeks later I'll see the skirt in my wardrobe and think, 'I haven't worn this skirt in a while.'
It's only after I've left the house I remember why.

4 Places in Burma You Can't Miss
[Sponsored Content] Flymya makes it easier than ever to explore both the country's highlights and lesser-known gems.
Published on Apr 29, 2016
After years of relative isolation, Burma is booming and travelers are coming from all over the world to enjoy its pristine beaches, unspoiled islands and historic monuments. Flymya makes it easier than ever to explore both the country's highlights and lesser-known gems. The boutique tour operator not only creates bespoke itineraries, but also helps visitors arrange domestic flights and car rentals. When planning your next trip, be sure to stop at these four destinations.
Shwedagon Pagoda
The country's capital may lie in Naypyidaw, but Burma's cultural core resides in this vibrant city. In recent years, Rangoon has begun to transform at an alarming speed, as entrepreneurs, creatives and visionaries arrive in droves. Craft cocktail bars, international fine dining restaurants, and trendy boutique shops now line these increasingly cosmopolitan streets. The local arts scene has flourished in the wake of all this upheaval and dozens of galleries showcase top-tier exhibitions with works by Burmese artists. Although some might lament that Rangoon is changing, the city has always been something of a melting pot and its history has not been forgotten. Signs of the past are everywhere, from crumbling 19th-century British colonial mansions to ancient shrines and traditional markets. The most famous, and by far the most striking, remnant of another era is the majestic Shwedagon Pagoda, a towering, gilded wonder gleaming brightly in the tropical sun.
Pagan Empire, Bagan
Once the heart of the mighty Pagan Empire, Bagan was a cultural, political and religious center for centuries. At the height of its power, more than 10,000 religious monuments were scattered throughout the city. Although earthquakes destroyed many of these man-made wonders, 2,229 remain. Early risers will be rewarded with stunning views of chedi spires emerging from the morning mist.
White Temples, Mandalay
Founded in 1857 as a royal capital, Burma's second largest city is a must-see for history lovers. Sadly, the original palace of the last Burmese king and queen was mostly obliterated in World War II. Nevertheless, the replica that stands in its place next to the Ayeyarwaddy River offers visitors an approximation of its former grandeur and Mandalay's numerous other attractions make it more than worth a trip.
Inle Lake
Inle Lake Sunset
Stylish boutique hotels have turned this picturesque body of water into one of Burma's most sought-after destinations. Despite the many new arrivals, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is still rich with historic charm. The Intha people still fish the waters perched on one leg the same way they have for centuries. Cat aficionados will want to check out the small island at the center of the lake, which houses a large number of Burma's prized felines.

Stackpole is a designer and manufacturer of highly-engineered oil pumps and powdered metal components principally for automotive original equipment manufacturers. These components are typically specified on long-term engine and transmission platforms with 10-to-15 year lives and are found on some 400 different vehicles or nameplates.
The company has 12 manufacturing facilities and technical centers in North America, Europe, China and Korea.
Acquired: 2011
Current Capital, in conjunction with The Sterling Group, a middle-market private equity firm, acquired Stackpole from Tomkins plc.
Under Our Ownership…
We helped to transition Stackpole from a division of a large company to an independent global automotive supplier. Stackpole continued to win and execute well on oil pump and powdered metal platforms, established a strategic presence in Europe and Asia, accelerated its position in non-automotive products, achieved operating efficiencies, capitalized on an increasingly strong global automotive production environment and grew earnings substantially.
Sold: 2013
The Stackpole sale created a very significant return for our investors.
Rimstock is the United Kingdom's leading manufacturer of premium cast and forged aluminum automotive wheels for automotive manufacturers, race teams, the military and the aftermarket.
Acquired: 2016
Current Capital, together with Safanad Limited, a privately owned investment firm based in the Middle East, and David Roberts, an experienced automotive executive, acquired Rimstock from its Founder and Chairman, Steve Neal.
Rimstock was a family-owned business with substantial growth prospects that was held back by under-management and under-investment. Following our acquisition, we have been working with management to, among other things, further professionalize the business and add a significant original equipment manufacturer business to Rimstock's existing aftermarket business. We have also made significant new hires, improved financial reporting, made a substantial investment in a new manufacturing facility and won our first contract with Jaguar Land Rover.

This is the Gospel: In the beginning when God created the world, man and everything, then everything was good, perfect and flawless. Man lived in a wonderful familiar fellowship with God the Creator. All creation, God and man were in full harmony and love with each other. However, a love relationship requires a free will. One day man abused their free will and rebelled against their Creator in what we call the Fall, man wanted in selfisness and pride to be her own god. Because of that she broke the spiritual fellowship between God and man. Sin, selfishness and evil invaded the human soul, the rest is history and not just the history books but also every newspaper today and every personal life shows sin and selfishness terrible consequences.
The Bible says: "It is written, there is none righteous, no, not one is sensible, no one is seeking God. All have departed, all have become corrupt. No, there is nobody who does good, not one. An open grave is their throat. They use their tongues for deceit. Poison is behind their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. They are fast to shed blood. Devastation and misery prevailing in their ways, and the way of peace they know not. They have no fear of God before their eyes".
We can only look at ourselves; Who has not lied, slandered, treated someone badly, been selfish, unloving and deceitful, malicious and even hateful?! God is Truth and Justice, He is the guarantor of what is morally right and goodness, He is Holy and there is no darkness in Him. God could have chosen to remove the evil man from the face of the earth permanently and just forgotten about her. But, God is also love, mercy and grace, and therefore He, the Creator, promised right from the start after the Fall to send a Savior, a deliverer who would set people free from their sins, yes, relieve them from the sinful nature which has now become a part of mans very being, and so bring man back to God. The Bible highlights and describes the way in which God himself through a Savior, Jesus Christ, comes to mankind. That this Savior, this Jesus is to be a link between you and the Creator, a way back to God. Jesus would deal with the sin-problem and its terrible consequences once and for all, so that every person could be forgiven for their sins and be reconciled with God.
We read about this in the Bible: "Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open his mouth; He was led like a lamb to the slaughter".
You may ask, "Why do I have to be reconciled with God and get my sins forgiven? Can't I just be left in peace and take care of my own business?". The answer is that God is perfect in goodness, in holiness, in truth and justice, and therefore He can not just let the darkness and evil remain. As the Bible says, all people one day will stand before God and give account of their lives. It will be a gigantic court where every sin and transgression must be brought into light and be judged, even the motives behind our words and actions will be judged, God reads our hearts like an open book.
However, God's immense love and grace to you and me is that Jesus Christ, God Himself, took our sins on the Cross, Jesus suffered and died for your sins, He took the very punishment for your sins on Himself instead of you. It is, now as in a parable, as if you committed a very lot of serious crimes in society and you are standing in a court and sentenced to both tortured and killed for your crimes, however, then somebody steps forward and say "I take his punishment on me instead of him" and you go completely free…Jesus did this for you so that you can be set free and pardoned on the Day of Judgement. The word "Salvation" means "to be saved", you will be saved from going forever lost to eternal punishment, and instead you go back into the family of God as a child of God, and you receive eternal life in Heaven.
Let us read the Bible: "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". Jesus says: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". And Jesus also says in the Bible "Repent and believe the gospel".
So, what will your Answer be? Will you continue in selfish pride, in the emptiness and futility that a life without God means, continue to cause yourself and others the suffering the consequences of sin constantly gives? And what will you say in the presence of Almighty God, the Creator, on that Day of Judgement when you stand before Him? That is if you have rejected Jesus Christ and His Salvation? Everything in a person's life and existence pales in comparison to the very Day and hour when you stand before God, it will then be either in total shame and horror or in total joy and peace …It is your choise dear friend…If you choose to turn to God, to say farewell to sin, darkness and evil, and instead follow Jesus as your Lord and Savior and believe in His saving work on the Cross, then surely you will be Forgiven, Redeemed and Pardoned with everlasting life in Heaven. And besides, you get a wonderful spiritual fellowship with the living God, you become like the Bible says spiritually "born again", a child of God who have a familiar relationship with God, your Creator. Jesus very presence fills you with a lasting peace and joy that nothing can steal. And Jesus has promised to be with you always, to the end, He gives you God's power and ability to live as a child of God.
This Salvation can not be earned in any way, no good works or good living is enough. You can only receive this salvation by turning to God, confess your need for Jesus and His Salvation and then just believe, believe in Jesus and what He has done for you. Then, you as a spiritually born again disciple and follower of Jesus Christ, will live in obedience to His Word, the Bible. However, also this is God's grace because you do not follow and obey Jesus in your own power and ability but in God's power and ability, through the Holy Spirit who is the spiritual fellowship with God.
Jesus suffered and died for you because He loves you, as the Bible says: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in that Christ died in our place while we were yet sinners". Jesus died and went to the grave with our sins, but on 3:rd day Jesus Rose from the dead, He lives forever and ever, and if you choose Jesus, He who is called the "Prince of life" and the "Bread of life", you will certainly live now and forever in Heaven. However, the choice is yours, your free will determines how your life will become, and more importantly where you will spend eternity …
Again, what is your Answer? I plead, choose Jesus Christ and His Salvation!
Here follows a common and biblically based prayer. If you seriously want to receive Jesus and His salvation, you can pray out loud this pray from your heart to God. This is only a suggestion on how to pray, but it is between you and God, go ahead and pray:
"God, I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, I believe that Jesus suffered and died for my sins, that he took my punishment in my place, and I believe that Jesus rose from the dead …O Lord Jesus, come into my heart, I'm sorry that I have gone my own ways, forgive me of all my sins. I turn away from all sin and evil, and I follow you Jesus all my days. I leave my life in Your hands Lord Jesus. Thank You for the forgivness of my sins and for setting me free. Thank You for me beeing a child of God now, with everlasting life in Heaven. I also accept your Spirit, The Holy Spirit. Fill me with your peace and joy, with your presence, power and love, I pray in Jesus' name, Amen".

BRISTOL, R.I.-Nine Coast Guard hitters registered at least one hit on the day but it wasn't enough as the Bears dropped a pair of one-run games to 2013 NCAA Regional Tournament qualifier Roger Williams on Thursday. In their final tune-up before conference play begins Coast Guard (6-6) fell 5-4 in eight innings in the opener before dropping a 4-3 decision in the nightcap to the Hawks (5-5).
Game One: Roger Williams 5, Coast Guard 4 (8 innings)
Sophomore hurler Kristine Kahl (3-2) continued her strong work in the circle, logging a complete game while only giving up one earned run but it wasn't enough as Coast Guard dropped the opener of the twin-bill 5-4 in eight innings.
Freshman third baseman Cherokee Strickland (3-4, 3 RBI, run) and freshman left fielder Erin Reynolds (3-4, RBI) led the Bears' nine-hit attack and drove in all four runs in the game. Strickland opened the scoring in the top of the third when she singled to center field to score junior second baseman Erin Lisko (run) and senior first baseman Kelly Grills (2-3, run) to give Coast Guard an early 2-0 advantage. Reynolds followed that up with a run-scoring double to left center to drive in Strickland for a 3-0 Bears lead.
Roger Williams would get a run back in the bottom of the inning when Chelsea Boulrisse (2-5, 2 RBI) plated Caitlin Downes (2-3, two runs) for one of Roger Williams' four unearned runs – on three Coast Guard errors – in the game.
Coast Guard would get that run back in the top of the fifth when Strickland singled in junior catcher Jessie Richardson (run) and give the Bears a 4-1 lead. The Hawks would make a game of it in the bottom half when Delaney Burns' (1-3, 2 RBI) single to right field scored Meredith Moise (run) and Veronica Alicea (run).
Roger Williams would eventually tie the game up in the bottom of the sixth when Samantha Mittel (2-4, RBI) singled to right field to drive in Alicia McCauley (run) with the fourth run of the game and knot things up at 4-4, ultimately forcing extra innings.
Boulrisse delivered the game-winner with one out in the eighth by singling to center to score Downes who had been placed on second to begin the inning per the International Tie-Breaker Rule.
Meghan Maliga (3-2) went the distance to pick up the win for Roger Williams, yielding four runs – three earned – on nine hits and a walk while striking out five.
Game Two: Roger Williams 4, Coast Guard 3
In the night-cap, Coast Guard again jumped out to an early lead but was unable to hold on as the Bears dropped their third straight game, a 4-3 decision to Roger Williams. All nine Coast Guard position players registered a hit in the game with two recording multi-hit games.
Erin Reynolds (2-4, 2 RBI) delivered a double to left to score Cherokee Strickland (1-3, run) and Jessie Richardson (2-4, RBI, run) to give the Bears a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Roger Williams would get both runs back in the bottom of the inning starting with an RBI-single through the left side by Samantha Mittel (2-3, RBI, run) to score Taylor Messier (3-4, 2 RBI, run), cutting the Bears' lead in half at 2-1. Two batters later Alana Peoples (1-3) reached on a throwing error that allowed Mittel to score an unearned run.
In the top of the fourth inning Richardson – the leading hitter in the NEWMAC at .590 – singled up the middle to plate sophomore shortstop Morgan Kingston (1-4, run) with the go-ahead run making it 3-2 in favor of the Bears.
The lead would be short-lived as the Hawks got a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a 4-3 advantage, a lead they would hold onto. Messier singled up the middle to score Downes and Tori Milano (run) for the game-tying and eventual game-winning runs, respectively.
Coast Guard would manage just two base-runners the rest of the way and Roger Williams would hold on for the victory.
Sophomore right-hander Sarah Sorensen (3-4) logged a complete game for Coast Guard, allowing four runs – three earned – on nine hits and a trio of walks. Milano (2-3) picked up the win for Roger Williams going all seven innings and surrendering three runs – all earned – on 11 hits and a walk.
Coast Guard drops to 1-5 in one-run games on the season with the loss. The Bears are scheduled to be back in action on Sunday, March 23rd when they host Springfield (6-1) for a double-header in their 2014 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) opener at 1 pm.
