Lacking an understanding of tax laws can kill your small business. Unfortunately, the intricacies of the tax code generally require a professional understanding, and you cannot simply claim ignorance. It is in your best interests to consult regularly with an Orange County business attorney to make sure that your business is abiding by tax laws.
Understanding Common Penalties
While the goal is to avoid tax penalties altogether, it is useful to gain an understanding of how the IRS imposes them. The IRS is ruthless in imposing penalties, often stacking them upon each other. The result can sometimes mean a tax bill 50% higher than the principal. It is far better to work with an Orange County business attorney to avoid any problems in the first place.
Some Common Penalties
Filing or paying late is perhaps the most common problem for a small business. Your company may simply not have the financial means of paying the tax. If this is the case, file anyway, and then try to work out an arrangement for payment with the IRS. A late payment will result in a .5% per month penalty, up to 25% of the bill. Late filing will add a full 5% per month. Failure to file at all is the worst of all – you could face severe penalties.
Underpayment of estimated tax is another common mistake, especially for the self-employed. You are required to pay 90% of the amount you will owe on a quarterly basis. A related issue is inaccuracies on your tax return. If, for instance, you cannot substantiate a deduction, and this is uncovered in an audit, your business' tax penalty may amount to up to 20%.
For Further Information
For further information on tax penalties and IRS issues related to small businesses, speak with an Orange County business attorney. Call the Law Offices of Reed Aljian and Justin Daily to schedule a consultation at 949-861-2524.

Chicago's Community Weatherization Action TeamsCreated: 11/29/2012 Updated: 8/10/2016
Home weatherization is one of the fastest and easiest ways to save money year round, especially in the winter. The average un-weatherized house in the United States leaks air at a rate equivalent to a 4 foot hole in the wall. This is money and natural resources literally going out the window and through the roof.
On November 7, the Chicago Conservation Corps and the Nature Museum came together to change that for 3,500 homes in the city of Chicago. Thanks to a grant from the city of Chicago, People's Gas and ComEd, 3,500 weatherization kits were installed and distributed all over the city in November. But, it took a lot of work to get these kits to the Community Weatherization Action Teams (CWAT).
It started out in mid October when Chicago Conservation Corps Coordinator Kristen Pratt jumped into action creating supply lists, surveying the Museum for storage and kit building space, and recruiting volunteers.
In less than a month we received supplies, trained volunteers to install the weatherization materials, and were ready to build kits. The kits each consist of weather stripping, caulk, window film, and tape. 3,500 kits with 7 items each results in 24,500 items to be placed into bags along with installation instructions and a CFL light bulb. That is a lot of material – enough to fill three 25 foot long storage containers!
What we found out is that if you want to build it, they will come. We had over 120 volunteers attend the kit building event. What we expected to take over 5 hours was finished in just over 3! Rafael Rosa, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum's Vice President of Education, commented that: "... in the span of 3½ hours, we packed over 3,100 weatherization kits – that's about 1,000 per hour, 16 per minute, 1 every 3-4 seconds!. When I looked at all the materials that came in during the week before, I couldn't envision getting this job done in just a few hours. But thanks to 20 or so staff and over 100 volunteers we got it finished quicker than projected..."
Next, we had to get the kits into large plastic totes (or toters as we like to call them) to be delivered to schools and C3 Leaders for distribution and installation. After being packed with kits, each toter was put back in the storage pod by what seemed to be an army of strong and enthusiastic student volunteers. At about 3 pounds per kit, 10 kits per tote, 350 toters - thats about 30 pounds each. If we extend that math further, thats about 10,500 pounds of weatherization supplies - but who is counting?
What started about 4 pm in the afternoon was completed by 8:30 pm that night! Chances are that as you read this blog post the pods are gone, the toters are distributed, and the weatherization kits have been delivered to the leaders for their groups to distribute and install. Thanks to all of the volunteers and staff that made this project possible!

SPRING FRESH: We're not usually one for fragrances whose selling point is citrus, but the new Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger from PRADA is less Orange Julius, more essence of summer in a bottle. Apparently, we have tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine to thank for that. (The art deco packaging is nice, too.) Pick it up at Bergdorf's.
NICE CABANA: It may be called the Resort Collection, but we'll happily wear 3.1 phillip lim's gorgeously floaty pieces to the bagel place on the corner. They're 40% off right now at the label's Mercer Street HQ. 115 Mercer Street, (212) 334-1160, Mon.-Sat 11AM-7PM; Sun. 12-6PM.
LOOM WITH A VIEW: You know those T-shirts everyone's doing now, printed with delicate line drawings of birds and deer? Loomstate pretty much started that, and their designs still rule. Snap up items from the Loomstate collection for Target while you can (because pretty soon, you'll be back to paying $120 for their stuff at Barneys).

Today's post is all about Prima Marketing!! Awhile back I was a card-maker on Prima's Creative Team, and I LOVED my time with them! While I stamp & dabble in the artsy side of cardmaking, I still have a strong tie to my roots in scrapbooking and I've recently decided that one of my prominent styles is as a "scrappy cardmaker"!
One of the amazing things about Prima Marketing is that they have all the great scrapbooking product in their collections, but they typically have stamps as well! That way you can be stampy & scrappy at the same time! Plus - it is so nice when an entire collection just goes together. It takes any guesswork out of creating, and you can just enjoy your time!
Prima also has amazing art supplies, like watercolor paper & paints, which I can't wait to get my hands on soon!
But today I am using Prima's GORGEOUS "Amber Moon" collection, and my cards are all about PUMPKINS. If you know me personally at all...you know that I take my Pumpkin Spice season VERY seriously. So - only someone very special gets a card with a sentiment like, "You're the pumpkin to my Spice".
Eyes always light up when I hand over a gift that has a beautiful card like this attached to it. AND - I think people oooh and aaaah over the card far more than the gift inside the packaging. :)
I send card like this out as well - I typically just send them in a padded envelope so they stay protected. What's a little extra in shipping when it comes to putting a smile on someone's face?
Thank you so much, Prima Marketing, for supporting my Crafty Comeback Party! I am in LOVE with the Amber Moon collection, and will continue using it as this month goes on! Expect to see a lot more!!
Giveaway Details: This giveaway will stay live until 11:59pm CST on Friday, November 10th. All winners will be picked, notified & shared here on my blog on Sunday, November 12th.

text: This program is designed to help players improve their overall goal scoring abilities. Players will work on skills that will help them have more time with the puck on their stick and ultimately score more goals! Drills will be created where players learn to score in lower corners, high corners, five-hole, wrap around, quick back-hand, one timer and of course close in bar down! The focus of this clinic is not just shooting; this is about learning to get the puck in the net and will develop confidence in the ability to score goals!

Is it possible to be a Christian privately, a rule by day and a worshipper by night?
This chapter explores the motives and behaviour of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus as set out in the gospels, charactesr of whom the writers have varying estimates. Both of these characters fall between the power of Pilate and the passion of Barabbas. They are drawn by the figure of this Galilean rabbi and live in his shadow but are afraid to throw in their lot in publicly with him in the political contest of the time. They are paralyzed, complicit in the judicial process that Pilate manipulates to implicate the Jewish establishment in his execution as a troublemaker,
Only after his death do they appear again by night and perform a service of burial at a point where his other public disciples have disappeared. What kind of discipleship is this?
For them faith in Christ is not a matter of transformed identity - baptism - but is an attribute they can pick up or put down as they choose. As political figures they are largely invisible, since when the key debates take place they are present but - at best - silent. As religious figures they are visible at the very moment the disciples have disappeared - the moment of Jesus' burial. They are celebrated religious figures but they expose the politics of those who could have been political but chose to be narrowly religious. It is a politics that shows reverence to Jesus' body. But on closer inspection it is a politics that puts Jesus to death. (p.106)Indeed - this is a reading of scripture that goes close to home.
Today people I know have entered a top secret military base as a protest against the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bonhoeffer 4
At 6am this morning, four Christian peace activists entered Swan Island, one of Australia's most secret military installations near Queenscliff, Victoria, seeking to disrupt the war in Afghanistan."Both Swan Island and the war on Afghanistan are out of sight, out of mind. It's time to end further suffering of the Afghan people and our soldiers by bringing our troops home," the group said.Swan Island is a highly secretive military installation used by the Army's elite Special Air Service (SAS) and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). Swan Island is said to be more secretive than Pine Gap in central Australia.
"In the week before the first Easter, Jesus blockaded the temple and turned the tables inside. Today we are imitating Jesus' disruption", the group said. "Sometimes you have to get in the way of injustice"."War can't bring peace, it can only bring further terror, death and poverty," the group said.
Rev. Simon Moyle (Baptist Minister), Jacob Bolton (Community Worker), Jessica Morrison (University Lecturer) and Simon Reeves (Social Worker) have called themselves the Bonhoeffer Peace Collective after Kevin Rudd's favourite theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was also an antiwar activist.
"The followers of Christ have been called to peace. And they must not only have peace but also make it. His disciples keep the peace by choosing to endure suffering themselves rather than inflict it on others. In so doing they overcome evil with good, and establish the peace of God in the midst of a world of war and hate."— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In regard to the third verse of this poem the Pall Mall Gazette of 1 February 1890 related this incident: "One evening, just before his death-illness, the poet was reading this from a proof to his daughter-in-law and sister. He said: 'It almost looks like bragging to say this, and as if I ought to cancel it; but it's the simple truth; and as it's true, it shall stand.'"
Robert Browning's
"Epilogue" to Asolando
At the midnight in the
silence of the sleep-time,
When you set your fancies
Will they pass to where--by
death, fools think,
Low he lies who once so
loved you, whom you
loved so,
--Pity me?
Oh to love so, be so loved, yet so mistaken!
What had I on earth to do
With the slothful, with the mawkish, the unmanly?
Like the aimless, helpless, hopeless, did I drivel
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break,
Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would
Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better,
Sleep to wake.
No, at noonday in the bustle of man's work-time
Greet the unseen with a cheer!
Bid him forward, breast and back as either should be,
"Strive and thrive!" cry "Speed,--fight on, fare ever
There as here!"
One who never turned his back
but marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break.
Greet the unseen with a cheer!
Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Marvin D. Bell

I promised myself Eldar were next. I'd finish the Dark Angels, sell the Grey Knights and redo all my old, beloved 'Dar.
Then GW took it upon themselves to release the Knight Titan and I had to have one. That was the quickest I've ever bought-built-painted something to finish ever. I love it, I'll be getting another. But now onto Eldar...
Then GW took it upon themselves to release Scions and the Militarum Tempestus. I would resist. No more distractions from my one true love of 40K. Eldar time!
THEN my friend gave me some Scions because I spent he whole of the Friday at Throne of Skulls helping him paint his Tau. Bugger. Now I had Scions I might as well have a Taurox right? Right??

The Books of History
II Chronicles 33-36
Psalms 128-130
Ecclesiastes 5-6
2 Chronicles 33
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
He did evil in the sight of the LORD according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he also erected altars for the Baals and made Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.
He built altars in the house of the LORD of which the LORD had said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.'
For he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
He made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
Then he put the carved image of the idol which he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, " In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;
and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them according to all the law, the statutes and the ordinances given through Moses.'
Thus Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.
The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.
Therefore the LORD brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
When he was in distress, he entreated the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
When he prayed to Him, He was moved by his entreaty and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.
Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the Fish Gate; and he encircled the Ophel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
He also removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, as well as all the altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.
He set up the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it; and he ordered Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, although only to the LORD their God.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh even his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are among the records of the kings of Israel.
His prayer also and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and the sites on which he built high places and erected the Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the records of the Hozai.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And Amon his son became king in his place.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
He did evil in the sight of the LORD as Manasseh his father had done, and Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and he served them.
Moreover, he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done, but Amon multiplied guilt.
Finally his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
But the people of the land killed all the conspirators against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. 34
2 Chronicles 34
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
He did right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
For in the eighth year of his reign while he was still a youth, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images.
They tore down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars that were high above them he chopped down; also the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images he broke in pieces and ground to powder and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
In the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, in their surrounding ruins,
he also tore down the altars and beat the Asherim and the carved images into powder, and chopped down all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah an official of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the doorkeepers, had collected from Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Then they gave it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and the workmen who were working in the house of the LORD used it to restore and repair the house.
They in turn gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy quarried stone and timber for couplings and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.
The men did the work faithfully with foremen over them to supervise: Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites of the sons of Merari, Zechariah and Meshullam of the sons of the Kohathites, and the Levites, all who were skillful with musical instruments.
They were also over the burden bearers, and supervised all the workmen from job to job; and some of the Levites were scribes and officials and gatekeepers.
When they were bringing out the money which had been brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
Hilkiah responded and said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD.' And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.
Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and reported further word to the king, saying, "Everything that was entrusted to your servants they are doing.
"They have also emptied out the money which was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hands of the supervisors and the workmen.'
Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king saying, "Hilkiah the priest gave me a book.' And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.
When the king heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
"Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD which is poured out on us because our fathers have not observed the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book.'
So Hilkiah and those whom the king had told went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter); and they spoke to her regarding this.
She said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Tell the man who sent you to Me,
thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am bringing evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses written in the book which they have read in the presence of the king of Judah.
" Because they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore My wrath will be poured out on this place and it shall not be quenched.'
"But to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus you will say to him, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel regarding the words which you have heard,
" Because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and because you humbled yourself before Me, tore your clothes and wept before Me, I truly have heard you,' declares the LORD.
"Behold, I will gather you to your fathers and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, so your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.' And they brought back word to the king.
Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
The king went up to the house of the LORD and all the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests, the Levites and all the people, from the greatest to the least; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant written in this book.
Moreover, he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand with him. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the sons of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his lifetime they did not turn from following the LORD God of their fathers. 35
2 Chronicles 35
Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover animals on the fourteenth day of the first month.
He set the priests in their offices and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
He also said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; it will be a burden on your shoulders no longer. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.
" Prepare yourselves by your fathers' households in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel and according to the writing of his son Solomon.
"Moreover, stand in the holy place according to the sections of the fathers' households of your brethren the lay people, and according to the Levites, by division of a father's household.
"Now slaughter the Passover animals, sanctify yourselves and prepare for your brethren to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses.'
Josiah contributed to the lay people, to all who were present, flocks of lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, numbering 30,000 plus 3,000 bulls; these were from the king's possessions.
His officers also contributed a freewill offering to the people, the priests and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the officials of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 from the flocks and 300 bulls.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the officers of the Levites, contributed to the Levites for the Passover offerings 5,000 from the flocks and 500 bulls.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood at their stations and the Levites by their divisions according to the king's command.
They slaughtered the Passover animals, and while the priests sprinkled the blood received from their hand, the Levites skinned them.
Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the sections of the fathers' households of the lay people to present to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did this also with the bulls.
So they roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the ordinance, and they boiled the holy things in pots, in kettles, in pans, and carried them speedily to all the lay people.
Afterwards they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
The singers, the sons of Asaph, were also at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers at each gate did not have to depart from their service, because the Levites their brethren prepared for them.
So all the service of the LORD was prepared on that day to celebrate the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD according to the command of King Josiah.
Thus the sons of Israel who were present celebrated the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days.
There had not been celebrated a Passover like it in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; nor had any of the kings of Israel celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did with the priests, the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
In the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign this Passover was celebrated.
After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt came up to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to engage him.
But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, " What have we to do with each other, O King of Judah? I am not coming against you today but against the house with which I am at war, and God has ordered me to hurry. Stop for your own sake from interfering with God who is with me, so that He will not destroy you.'
However, Josiah would not turn away from him, but disguised himself in order to make war with him; nor did he listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but came to make war on the plain of Megiddo.
The archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, for I am badly wounded.'
So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem where he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
Then Jeremiah chanted a lament for Josiah. And all the male and female singers speak about Josiah in their lamentations to this day. And they made them an ordinance in Israel; behold, they are also written in the Lamentations.
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his deeds of devotion as written in the law of the LORD,
and his acts, first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. 36
2 Chronicles 36
Then the people of the land took Joahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in place of his father in Jerusalem.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Then the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed on the land a fine of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Joahaz his brother and brought him to Egypt.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of the LORD to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
At the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon with the valuable articles of the house of the LORD, and he made his kinsman Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
He did evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet who spoke for the LORD.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. But he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD God of Israel.
Furthermore, all the officials of the priests and the people were very unfaithful following all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of the LORD which He had sanctified in Jerusalem.
The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place;
but they continually mocked the messengers of God, despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, until there was no remedy.
Therefore He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm; He gave them all into his hand.
All the articles of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his officers, he brought them all to Babylon.
Then they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all its fortified buildings with fire and destroyed all its valuable articles.
Those who had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,
to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath until seventy years were complete.
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persiain order to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiahthe LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, "The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up!'

John Calvin ranks high on the short list of the church's most important thinkers, and The Institutes of the Christian Religion has consistently remained the central text of Reformed Christianity. As one of the most influential works in the Western canon, Calvin's Institutes has enjoyed a prominent place on the reading lists of theological students and scholars around the world, and has left its mark in the fields of theology, philosophy, social thought, and legal theory. First published in 1536, Calvin's Institutes became an instant best-seller, and has been republished and translated nearly 100 times in dozens of languages.
For nearly five centuries, The Institutes of the Christian Religion has remained a classic Protestant text and a monumental work of theology. It is written to introduce readers to the Christian faith—based on God's Word—and to sustain and encourage Reformed Christians during persecution. More than anything else, the Institutes is characterized by the dominant theme of God's sovereignty. It is divided into four books: the first three on the knowledge of God the creator, the knowledge of God the redeemer, and the ways in which we receive the grace of God by the Spirit. The final book describes the church. Along the way, Calvin writes on the authority of Scripture, election, the marks of the church, prayer, Christian liberty, the sacraments, civil government, and countless other topics, which—as a whole—make up what today is recognized as Calvinism.
Logos is pleased to offer Calvin's 1559 Latin edition and his 1561 French edition—reprinted in 1888 in Paris—along with three English translations: the 1574 Norton translation, the 1816 Allen translation, and the 1845 Beveridge translation.
Benefits of the Logos Bible Software Edition
It would be interesting to compare the texts of several English translations, with a view to discovering how far the later translations are really independent of the earlier, and which represent the original most faithfully, clearly, and happily.
—B. B. Warfield, Calvin and Calvinism, vol. 5 of The Works of Benjamin B. Warfield
As B. B. Warfield noted more than a century ago, the value of having multiple editions and translations of Calvin's Institutes in an easy-to-use side-by-side format is enormous. Now, Logos is giving you the tools to do just that.
With the Logos edition, you can instantly compare the Latin and French editions of the Institutes with the English translations, and your digital library lets you compare the English translations to one another. Logos Bible Software gives you time-saving tools, allowing scholars, historians, and theologian the ability to perform advanced comparative work instantly and accurately. These advanced tools put comparative study of Calvin's Institutes within reach of interested laypersons for the first time ever. Never before have so many editions of Calvin's Institutes been so accessible for research and study!
What's more, the Logos Bible Software edition contains extensive linking and tagging—with links directly to other books and articles in your digital library (that you own). All Scripture references display the verse on mouseover, and each reference is linked to both original languages texts of the Bible along with your preferred English translation. The advanced search tools, passage guides and reports, and other tools in your digital library make The Institutes of the Christian Religion, by John Calvin: English, Latin, and French (9 Vols.) from Logos Bible Software the preeminent edition for historical study, theological research, and comparative analysis!

So, let me start out by explaining what impression share is. Impression share is the number of impressions of a paid search ad you've received divided by the estimated number of impressions you could have received granted there were no restrictions. Items that would restrict your ads from being shown include your current ads' targeting, ad status, bids, budget, and quality scores.
Let's begin with ways to improve your impression share. Ultimately there are four ways to improve your search impression share. They are listed below:
1. Increase your campaign budget. Your budget controls how often your ads are shown, so when you increase your budget, your ads will get shown more often until the budget depletes.
2. Increase your bid. Raising your bid can improve the likelihood that your ad will show for a given ad auction but remember that raising your click bid can also deplete your budget more quickly, decreasing your impression share.
3. Decrease your geographical targeting. If you reduce your geographical targeting or area that you choose to have your ads displayed, your impression share will increase. This is also true if you set your ads to only show during certain hours.
4. Improve your quality. Improving your ad quality score will result in paying less for your bids while still holding your desired ad position. Contact us to learn of ways on how to improve ad quality.
These are simple ways to increase your impression share. But often there are more details and needed strategic input to figure out what is your best option. Knowing which campaigns convert the best (profitable) for you to place more budget or knowing which markets you want to target to increase your market share are examples of strategic questions you must ask yourself.
Back to an earlier point when I said, "I do warn dealers that focusing solely on their impression share too much could potentially become a pitfall." Dealers focusing only on impression share must realize that to get to a certain level; they must "give" in some way. Dealers most often need to spend a good portion of their budget to target their desired markets and increase their impression share. Looking at search lost impression share (budget) helps you determine how often your ads are not showing because you have too small of a budget, in which case you would need to increase your paid search budget. Dealers often want to target outside of their DMA or PMA and to increase impression share without an additional budget. Unfortunately, dealers have to reduce their targeting or increase their budgets.
For more information on impression share or Ford's impression share requirements, contact iFrog Digital Marketing at email@example.com or give us a call at 410-673-8278

NC TraCS Service Helps CTSA Partner Develop Grant Proposals for Biomedical Research
Shrinking budgets have caused scientists to scramble harder than ever to secure funding for their research. The National Institutes of Health, the main source of funding for biomedical research in the United States, has lost 22 percent of its purchasing power since 2003. As a result, it has gone from funding one in three research proposals to funding only one in six. Despite the challenging funding climate, UNC's research enterprise has doubled in the last decade, reaching nearly $800 million in 2014. Now, UNC is sharing the secrets of its success with other institutions to help bring more research dollars to North Carolina.

The Hidden Lights of Hanukkah
On Sunday evening, November 24th, the Adams Street Shul presents an inspirational pre-Chanukah educational event, featuring the songs and stories of Rabbi Sammy Intrator. His presentation is entitled The Hidden Lights of Hanukkah.
"Reb Sammy" touches people of all faiths and from all backgrounds. In his words, "Judaism today needs to get down to its roots and not be divided by its branches."
Rabbi Intrator was the longtime assistant and concert manager for Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, who himself gave a presentation of music and learning to a packed Adams Street Shul in 1993. Before he died in 1994, Rabbi Carlebach selected Rabbi Intrator to succeed him as rabbi of the Carlebach Shul, on New York's Upper West Side, which Rabbi Intrator then led for six years.
Since 2000, "Reb Sammy" has designed and taught inspirational spiritual programs that combine Kabbalistic, Talmudic and Hasidic teachings, as well as ethical and psychological insights, to provide meaning that is not available to most Jews today.
Rabbi Intrator, like Rabbi Carlebach, uses an energetic, celebratory style of prayer, incorporating songs and dancing; and his teaching and preaching inspire with storytelling and music, revealing a Judaism that is user-friendly, authentic, inspiring, alive, and deeply spiritual.
Get ready to elevate your celebration of Chanukah with "Reb Sammy." The Hidden Lights of Hanukkah will be a learning with music. His presentation at the Adams Street Shul begins at 7:30 PM; maariv will be about 9:30 PM; and congregants are welcome to remain after that for informal activities.
The cost is $10 for those who make reservations in advance. $12 per person at the door.

Display manager -
A display manager, or login manager, is typically a graphical user interface that is displayed at the end of the boot process in place of the default shell. There are various implementations of display managers, just as there are various types of window managers and desktop environments. There is usually a certain amount of customization and themeability available with each one.
List of display managers
- CDM — Ultra-minimalistic, yet full-featured login manager written in Bash.
- nodm — Minimalistic display manager for automatic logins.
- autox — Most-minimalistc, ~150 lines of C, logs in a specified user and runs xinit.
- LightDM — Cross-desktop display manager, can use various front-ends written in any toolkit.
- SDDM — QML-based display manager and successor to KDE4's kdm; recommended for Plasma 5 and LXQt.
- SLiM — Lightweight and elegant graphical login solution. (discontinued)
- XDM — X display manager with support for XDMCP, host chooser.
Loading the display manager
To enable graphical login, enable the appropriate runit service.
For example: we are going to use GDM and for this display manager to work we also need to enable the dbus service:
$ ln -s /etc/sv/gdm /var/service $ ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service
Session configuration
Many display managers read available sessions from
/usr/share/xsessions/ directory. It contains standard desktop entry files for each DM/WM.
To add/remove entries to your display manager's session list; create/remove the .desktop files in
/usr/share/xsessions/ as desired. A typical .desktop file will look something like:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Openbox Comment=Log in using the Openbox window manager (without a session manager) Exec=/usr/bin/openbox-session TryExec=/usr/bin/openbox-session Icon=openbox.png Type=XSession
Starting applications without a window manager
You can also launch an application without any decoration, desktop, or window management. For example to launch chromium create a
web-browser.desktop file in
/usr/share/xsessions/ like this:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Web Browser Comment=Use a web browser as your session Exec=/usr/bin/chromium --auto-launch-at-startup TryExec=/usr/bin/chromium --auto-launch-at-startup Icon=chromium
In this case, once you login, the application set with
Exec will be launched immediately. When you close the application, you will be taken back to the login manager (same as logging out of a normal DE/WM).
It is important to remember that most graphical applications are not intended to be launched this way and you might have manual tweaking to do or limitations to live with (there is no window manager, so do not expect to be able to move or resize any windows, including dialogs; nonetheless, you might be able to set the window geometry in the application's configuration files).
See also xinitrc.
Tips and tricks
Most display managers source
~/.xprofile and
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/. For more details, see xprofile.

TB6560 4 axis spindle relay configuration with Mach3 or LinuxCNC is fairly straightforward. But it took me some time to figure out. So here's how I got it to work.
I wanted to be able to control my Katsu (Makita clone) router from Mach3 and LinuxCNC. The goal was that it would switch on and off from the g-code running. Several times I started to run the code and forgot to switch the router on.
This configuration is just a simple on/off, no speed control. The TB6560 is able to control spindle speed with extra hardware and configuration. But I don't have this setup, so I can't confirm.
The TB6560 4 axis board is fitted with a relay which can be controlled by Mach3 or LinuxCNC using the g-codes M3 (on) and M4 (off). The relay is limited to 36 Volts and 7.5 amps. As most routers are mains powered a relay is required to switch the AC on and off.
After some research, I decided to use a solid-state relay that would switch the AC on by supplying a small DC voltage. I purchased one from Amazon and wired it as the diagram below. Please be very careful you are dealing with mains electricity it can kill!!
The Spindle interface has 4 connectors two ground and on my board MOU and MIN. Basically, the MOU and MIN are the relay contacts. You can put a multi-meter across them on a continuity setting with a buzzer and it will switch on and off by sending M3 and M4 to it.
Mach 3 configuration
Goto Ports and Pins and check that Output#1 is enabled and set to Port 1 and Pin 2
On the Spindle Setup tab make sure "Disable Spindle Relay" is not checked and the "Output# "is set to 1 as below
That's all there is to it for Mach3
If you press Reset and click "Spindle Toggle" button on the Diagnostics screen it should start the router. Make sure the router is left switched on.
LinuxCNC Configuration
In the StepConf Wizard select your configuration and set Pin2 to Spindle ON. That's it, even simpler than Mach3. When the g-code M3 and M4 is sent the router will stop and start.
As you can see its an easy solution for Mach3 or LinuxCNC just be careful with the wiring mains power can kill. The relays are very cheap and mine has been 100% reliable.

(RCL) Ruth 3:1-5; 4:13-17 and Psalm 127; Hebrews 9:24-28; Mark 12:38-44
Introit: The Lord saith: I think thoughts of peace, and not of affliction: you shall call upon Me, and I will hear you; and I will bring back your captivity from all places. -- (Ps. 84. 2). Lord, Thou hast blessd Thy land: Thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
Collect: O God, whose blessed Son was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant us, we beseech thee, that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves even as he is pure; that, when he shall appear again with power and great glory, we may be made like unto him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, he liveth and reigneth ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
Gospel: As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely." Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on."
Our television screens bombard us with offers of deals. No doubt your spam contains similar offers. From time to time we read about elderly people who have been duped out of their funds by unscrupulous people offering deals. There are even crooks who recently played with peoples' health by offering spurious swine-flu remedies. So we build walls around our lives, taking care not to be "had."
It is easy for us to become so protective of ourselves that we are no longer able to give or receive easily. Those of us who have been hurt badly build walls around ourselves and then wonder why we are so lonely and unfulfilled. Christians are not immune to this "natural" reaction.
Sometimes we don't give to worthy charities, excusing ourselves by muttering that they spend too much on overhead. And yes, we get moody when the annual pledge campaign hits us in our parish. The odd thing is that we don't feel our consciences tugged when we read the sort of lessons appointed for this Sunday.
The story of Ruth is a non-Jewish love story. Ruth takes a leap of trust and faith and decides to stay with her mother-in-law and marry Boaz rather than retuning to the safety and security of her own homeland.
In Kings, a woman left with nothing to feed her son and herself feeds the Prophet with what she has left. She may starve to death, but still she makes bread and gives drink.
In the gospel Jesus points to a widow woman, obviously without children to care for her. She gives her last penny. In the light of what Jesus says later about the scams going on in the Temple, the fact that he commends the widow for giving all she has to the Temple treasury is astounding.
Surely Ruth should have required a prenuptial contract! Surely the poor woman should have told the Prophet to go and find her son and her something to eat. Should not Jesus have rather suggested that the widow keep her few cents for herself? "Charity begins at home!"
Protecting our assets, the things we cherish, our integrity, seem to be natural reactions, survival instincts. Yet we follow a Savior who calls us to risk all in order that we may truly love and be truly whole. It would be said of Jesus, "The foxes have lairs, the birds of the air their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." Jesus' mother and his relatives pleaded with him to come home, to be safe and to stop living so dangerously. The love of Jesus was extravagant, self-sacrificial, and utterly without concern for his own well being.
Well, we think, that is fine for Jesus, but he is unique. Sometime early on we absolve ourselves of commitment to follow his example, and settle for a faith that allows him to do the sacrificing, while we receive the benefits.
In the gospel, Jesus points to professionally religious people who parade their religiosity and who love the power their religious rank gives them, but who defend their institution and their place in it vigorously. When the Chief Priest decided that Jesus must be killed, he justified it as the death of one to protect the peace and prosperity of the settled religious Establishment. "It is expedient that one should die for the people."
How often we rephrase Jesus' command to "Go Baptize, Go Tell" with "Come through our church doors and help us maintain the building!"
Christianity calls us to love extravagantly, care extravagantly, and give extravagantly. Saints such as Francis of Assisi took that challenge to heart, to the dismay of his parents and the contempt of the world.
One of our lovely Collects contains the phrase "In whose service is perfect freedom." Remember "service" once meant slavery. Jesus, we are told by St. Paul, gave up his equality with God, emptied himself, and became a servant, a slave.
That's wonderful. Jesus is our servant. Just what we need.
But what of us? How do we measure up "to the fulness of the stature of Christ?" Do you remember when your parents used to put you against the wall and mark how tall you were growing? Next to Jesus we seem small in love, in caring, in giving. Yet if we are to commend our faith, our parish, our Church to a needy world and above all to our Lord, we are called to a more excellent way. We are to remember in our Lord's chilling words, that when we have done all we are still unprofitable servants.
How on earth can we follow Jesus? He gave up life itself on the cross. On our own, as parishioners, clergy, vestry members, we fail and mutter our apologies in the General Confession. Yet "in Christ" and his love, we can grow to risk the life of love we were born to in our baptisms. Only then may we be truly free.

San Francisco and the Bay
The position of the hilly and very densely populated city on the end of a peninsula near the Golden Gate makes for a never-ending variety of landscape photography opportunities. The vertical nature of the architecture and streets is a landscape in and of its own. It would take many years to even scratch the surface. It is rare that a city blends in so well into the landscape since most large cities are built on flat ground. On the panoramas page, there are also gigapixel-sized photos of San Francisco that can be printed up to 40 feet wide with fine resolution and larger with medium resolution!
Silicon City – San Francisco, California
Although Silicon Valley is the world's technology Center, San Francisco is home to hundreds of high-tech startups and and better known companies such as Twitter, Uber, Instagram, Pintrest, Lyft, AirBnB, SalesForce (cloud computing) Wikimedia (wikipedia), Zynga (80 million users play farmville etc.), UStream, Metacafe, DropBox, RapLeaf, Blurb (photo books), Dolby Labs, Stumbleupon, Digg (THE way to go viral on the internet until Reddit (Also in SF) came along), Craigslist (the biggest want-ad website with local versions around the world), Yelp (recommendations on restaurants and other things, soon worldwide), Autodesk, (the leading computer design software company), Typekit, QuantCast (Web analytics), Twilio, Square(mobile payments), GitHub, Riverbed, Heroku (cloud computing/online customer database systems), Bebo, Chegg, CrowdFlower, Disqus, Fitbit, imgur, Jawbone, LiveJournal, Lyft, ON24, Quantcast, SideCar, Talenthouse, Technorati, Trulia, TwitchTV, Ustream, Open table, BitTorrent, Yammer, and so on. Every day, a new startup springs up.
More than high tech lives here. San Francisco is home to the worlds most valuable bank, Wells Fargo. Possibly the world's largest construction company, Bechtel. Other companies include, Charles Schwab, Levis, the Gap stores, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Gymboree, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Wired magazine, PC world magazine, WR Hambrecht and Co, Del monte, Anchor Steam, McKesson, and more.
Genentech, Lucasfilm, Industrial light and Magic, and Pixar are also within a few miles of where I made this image.
City Lights, Alamo Square, San Francisco, California
Alamo Square and the Victorian style 'Painted Ladies' are well known photo locations. At least 6 double-decker tour buses drove by in just the 30 minutes I was there. I witnessed hundreds of photos taken as I made mine! So in order to make an image that would stand out, I had to wait for a stormy day where the clouds (behind the camera to the west) would open up right at sunset to produce dramatic light against the clouds and cityscape. You should have seen the awesome sunset happening behind me! It was difficult to ignore it, but I wanted to show the city in a brilliant red light. It made a red stripe in the clouds and painted the cityscape in purples and other soft colors. A 1-minute exposure softened the sky and ensured that none of the people and dogs playing on the grass were visible.
City Lights – Municipal Pier Cove, San Francisco
The Municipal Pier, at the end of Van Ness Avenue, is the perfect place to watch the sunset. Behind the camera is a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge, but sometimes it is good to turn the camera away to see this view.
A 30-second exposure softened the water to reflect the mood on this evening. I had to wait for the sea lions to leave because they were making too many chaotic patterns in the water!
Bridge to Yerba Buena, San Francisco Bay Bridge, California
The west span of the San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge is an amazing suspension bridge, built in 1935! The east span (behind the island) is being rebuilt right now. 102 million vehicles crossed over the bridge in 2008 which makes it the second-busiest bridge in the world behind the George Washington bridge in New York, which carried 108 million.
This span is 10,304 feet long (3,141 m), nearly as long as the world's longest suspension bridge, the 12,826 feet (3,909 m) Akashi Kaikyo bridge in Japan. And there is another 10,000ft non-suspension section to the left of the frame but it is not counted, so the Japanese bridge is considered longer.
Suspended – San Francisco, California
The San Francisco – Oakland bay bridge is the longest high-level bridge in the world and seems to go on forever. It has 4 suspension sections so it is not in any record book. It is also almost the busiest large traffic bridge in the world with the George Washington in New York City only being 3% busier. I used a 10-stop filter to create a 4-minute exposure after sunrise.
This was actually fairly easy to do. Just make sure to compose the photo before you put on the super-dark filter and make sure everything is sharp. If you go here to try this, make sure it is high tide! I tried 3 minutes first but it was not quite enough, so I went for 4 and this looks good. Guessing is half the fun.
Apparitions at Dusk – Sutro Baths, San Francisco
I decided to take in the sights at the ruins of the old Sutro Baths, built in 1896 to be an indoor/outdoor salt-water pool and spa. It was 250×500 ft (80m x 160m) and could hold 3700 spectators and over 1000 swimmers.
I was thinking about some long exposures after I had photographed some big surf so I walked along the haunted concrete walkways crossing over what seem like ancient ruins. I did a couple of long exposures and as I set up for one last shot, a couple decided to plop right down in front. Rather than worry about it, I worked them into the photo by moving to the right far enough to get them separated from the dark background of the offshore rocks.
The Endurance – Berkeley Marina, California
The Berkeley Marina is a beautiful place to start and end the day. The sun rises and sets over the water. Here, I walked around… actually I ran around… a lot! I tried to arrange the boats into a pleasing pattern to complement the clouds as the first light of day advanced. The problem is that clouds and light like this only last a short while.
However, this was not what I set out to see on this morning. I wanted a nice photo of the Berkeley Pier with the city and Golden Gate Bridge behind it. But that view is a 90-degree angle to the left of this view and the clouds in that direction evaporated. So I ran over here when I saw these clouds forming and then looked around for the best 'thing' to put in front of them.
The Old Pier 1 – Berkeley, California
Image #1 of the Berkeley Pier. This wide angle view extends from Angel Island on the right to the Presidio on the left. Alcatraz island is straight ahead. (From WikiPedia:) This pier as constructed extended three and a half miles into the San Francisco Bay from the end of University Avenue, but is today approximately two and a half miles (4.10 km) in length; however, only the first 3000 ft (0.9 km) are maintained and open to the public. It was constructed in 1926 to provide a deep water landing for an auto ferry to the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco.
The sun beams opened a hole on the clouds! This lasted for only a few glorious moments.
An overpowering sunset shone over the Golden Gate bridge to the left of this view. Although it was tempting to shoot towards the sun, I went for the more unusual view shown in the next two photos! Alcatraz is behind the pier.
I've never seen it like this before!
I will be adding other photos of the city to this page in June, 2015

While not mine, dose relate to SLATER where I volunteer though; I think some of you may like story -
During a phone conversation with Ed Simpson EM1, who was a SLATER crew member during 1944 and 1945, he related an interesting sea story (or was it a port story?) concerning the SLATER.
It seems that there is a small controversy (at least in one man's mind) about whether the Destroyer Escort returned to the Hudson River by DESA is indeed the USS SLATER! It is true that several DEs were transferred to the Greek Navy along with the SLATER. An ex-crewmember of one of the other DEs has asserted the ship now docked in Albany is his old ship and not the SLATER. Now, to the casual observer, one DE might look just like another and after 55 years memories can be forgiven for fading just a little, but Simpson's memory is sharp and clear and he claims incontrovertible proof of the SLATER's identity!
Simpson recalls that while SLATER was in the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1944, a pair of yard birds with flashlights awakened him in his bunk at 2 am. "Are you Simpson?" "Yes" said Simpson. "Is your space the IC and Gyro room?" "Yes" said Simpson. "Well you better roll out and come with us then, because the yard fire watch has spotted smoke and we think it's coming from the IC room and we don't have a key."
Simpson was afraid he knew what it was right away. It seems that on a DE a place to press your uniform is not that easy to find. Simpson had a nice wooden bench in the IC room kind of tucked in between the ship's gyroscope and the 1MC amplifier that was just the right size. He also had two good buddies, Balkin and Blackwood, who used to press their uniforms there with him. Down through the hatch in the mess deck to the IC room with the two yard birds close behind, Simpson unlocked the door and, sure enough, there was the red-hot iron burning right through the wooden work bench! No big deal, no fire, and the compartment was soon cleared of smoke, but there still remained the hole burned in the bench.
"Oh dear" said Simpson (well, maybe not his exact words). "My division officer will find out about this tomorrow, he'll tell the Captain, I'll get a mast, get busted and won't get a liberty until 1950!"
The two yard birds put their heads together and after a short conversation one of them said to Simpson, "Well, nobody but the three of us needs to know about this, meet us on the pier at 0800".
So Simpson was on the pier at 0800 and there were the two yard birds with a neat steel plate that they had fabricated to fit over the hole in the bench. The plate was discreetly installed, covering the evidence, and nobody has been the wiser for the over 55 years. And there the story would end except for the allegation that the ship now in the Hudson River at Albany is one of the other DEs and not the SLATER!
In April 1999, the former SLATER crew held its annual ship's reunion onboard and the first thing Simpson did was make it down to the IC room to check out the workbench. Sure enough, undisturbed and just as it was 55 years and untold thousands of miles ago, there was the wooden workbench with the steel patch still hiding the evidence.
And now you know the rest of the story. Except that Simpson isn't telling whether it was Balkin, Blackwood or himself who left the iron on the bench. . .

Yard Birds Save Buns
There is also oral history of his that tells the story just slightly differently if you would like to listen - http://www.ussslater.org/collections/oralhistories/OralHistory_55.mp3 - Ed Simpson

Sun Sing Theatre
1021 Grant Avenue,
San Francisco,
1 person favorited this theater
Built as the Mandarin Theatre in 1925, in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, it was renamed the Sun Sing Theatre in 1949.
It closed as a movie house in 1986, and has since been converted into retail use, as the Sun Sing Center.
Its exterior and interior were used for a sequence in the 1948 Orson Welles film, "The Lady From Shanghai".
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
Since the Mandarin is now used for retail, its status should probably be "Closed" rather than "Open."
I remember this theater when I was a kid. My uncle owned a newspaper stand and the owners of this theater used to let him sell newspaper out in front. I remember as a kid my uncle said no going in there and bothering anyone, even if the owners ask you to. We were always to sit out front and read our books or help stack and sort newspaper and magazines. Sad to see what happened to it. It was a part of chinatown history.
Having recently seen what remains of the interior of the auditorium – the proscenium, balcony, and projection booth remain intact and in remarkably good condition – I wonder if the Mandarin was originally built as a legit playhouse used for Chinese opera and the like?

Mysidia bug fixes and rewrite: Would anyone be interested?
Hi all,
I'm a longtime user and board lurker from back in 2009-2010 when it was called Rusnak's adoptables script. I've been reading lately that there are some longstanding bugs with Mysidia, and from the looks of it, this appears to be a dead project. For a while I've been interested in making my own fork of the project and figured this would be as good a time as ever to float the idea by. Does anyone still use this software? Would anyone use it if it were updated and freshened up a bit? Would anyone be interested in helping me in this effort, or in revitalizing the community / starting a new adoptable site?
Most certainly! A revisit to the concept from the ground up is sorely needed - taking only inspiration, but next to no code.
If you'd like to get in touch with me, the best way to do so is via a note to my DeviantART (of this same username), and from there I can send my Discord handle. (Or to gmail, also of this username.) -- I've long since disabled receiving DMs here.
In my time while I was active here, I enjoyed making addons, but my entire site started to feel like one giant addon, as I slowly replaced the core functionality in almost every aspect. Mysidia felt more like a cramped shell I grew out of, and freeing myself of it to work on my own was a relief. Many others here wouldn't mind crawling into something a bit more modern and streamlined when it's available, but they may not be in the best position to help out.
As for me - I certainly don't mind being a contact that you can bounce concepts, buggy code, and test phases off of. If you're in need of an artist, I also wouldn't mind helping out to provide some placeholder art as needed for use in testing that I wouldn't mind being shipped as part of a final demo.
I'm in the unfortunate position of knowing what I want, what I need, and just not having the time or motivation to do it. Bless you!
Please do not contact me. I cannot offer tech support on any coding I've done prior to 2018.
Dinocanid is working on "Mysidia Deluxe" Which if I remember right is a fixed script with more features?
You should definitely give Mysidia Deluxe a look! It's been 2 months since the last update, but I haven't dropped the project (just been busy with other stuff).
There also a post here, but it's pretty much the same info from github:
One thing I'm considering is whether it would be worth trying to rebuild from the ground up, or continuing with a fork of Mysidia like you have and building around that.
Personally I feel like there'd be some benefit in a structural reorganization of the codebase. As it stands currently there's a decent amount of technical debt accruing with how Mysidia was built, with regards to accessibility, future proofing, and patching. One major challenge with the current codebase that I foresee will be getting proper support for PHP 7 too, which is a problem since PHP 5.6 and 7.0 are at EOL.
I'm going to start tinkering with the possibility of a rewrite and see what comes of it. I set up the skeleton for a project the other day (when I made this topic) using Composer and some framework components like NikiC's router and the Auryn IoC container. I'll update this thread when I have some news.
I don't check here every day but in the meantime if any of you want to contact me, send mail to: im__9933.at. Just replace the underscores with an @
I already updated mysidia deluxe to support PHP 7 actually :U
All it really took was some renaming to avoid conflicts.
Rebuilding from the ground up would be better in a way (since, well, it's a brand new framework lol), but I wouldn't really be able to help with that since I'm not knowledgeable enough in "plain" PHP to create a framework from scratch, just to modernize what's already there.
There's a branch on the github that added composer to load important files, although I haven't been able to test it since for whatever reason composer refuses to install on my PC. If someone was able to test and see that the feature works though, that would be great.

Nothing too exciting happening today….so far. The good news is that I found that our new dollar store sells hot dogs pretty cheap. So we are continuing with Moss's service dog training. I am working on teaching him to be a hearing assistance dog.
Both dogs already bark when the phone rings, but I thought it would be cool to teach Moss to retrieve the phone, or anything, actually.
The tube is what he's learning to retrieve and we're following a new method – for both of us.
The method is to work backwards from dropping something in my hand. He already loves to retrieve frisbees and balls, but he throws them at me. This training is to teach him to drop something in my hand politely.
So far he's moving toward the tube and grabbing it in his mouth. Today I managed to get my hands under his chin so that the tube landed in my hands. He was profusely rewarded for this. I could see wheels turning in his head.
