I of course will not be selected because I have first hand knowledge of how it all works (seems like that's what you would want in a juror) but lucky me I'll never have to serve on a jury. How's that for a great excuse. Jealous? The easiest way to get out of Jury duty is to have an alternate address. In California, Jury duty is based on the county of your driver license. Get a mailbox in an adjoining county and use that for your license (they will forward all mail to wherever you want). When you get summoned, reply and let them know you don't live in that county. You can only be a jury in county you reside. i, I had to go to jury duty today in newark nj and do you know what they pay out? $5.00 a day!!! thats crazy!! luckily I get paid from my job plus the $5.00 but after 3 days you get $40.00 a day, most of the jurors only have to serve 2 days like I did and I almost got picked for a criminal case(drug possesion).

include the US, btw). In parts of Switzerland survival sports are basically the major pastime (places where they still have voice votes in the town square). I'm going to have to call you on that. Baseball is #1 in Japan, South Korea, Cuba, the DR, and Venezuela. Soccer is most popular in almost every other country, aside from random stuff like Canada (Hockey). Some sports may have localized support, but I find it impossible to believe that many nations, if any, have a deep love for pentathlon. +7 Besides Cuba unless you have some source, I'd be surprised if all those other were right. I'd agree that baseball is popular there, as it is here, but I'm kind of doubting it's even more popular in S. Korea than tennis or soccer, for example. And the pentathalon bit was slightly tongue in cheek, not really trying to be precise. If you like wikipedia, baseball is the first sport mentioned on the sports pages for Japan, Cuba, DR, and Venezuela. While wiki isn't really a source, the citations back up the statements, though in the case of Japan, said sourse is entirely in Japanese, so not much help. South Korea is the only page with anything above baseball (mentioned second after soccer). I also could mention Taiwan who also would likely consider baseball to be a national pastime. All in all, that is 5 nations where it is most popular, and two more (SK and US) that it is a close second. | OP | OP OB | 3,239,465 |

the electronic communications regulator in effect advocated on behalf of the interest of the two dominant media proprietors by arguing that since the media commentators were more influential than the proprietors, therefore the degree of concentration in the media doesnt matter. Only someone with an intelligence level of less than freezing point would accept this. Any representative democracy would have had the regulator sacked within 24 hours. As the existing political system comes under pressure the attempts to control the role of the ABC will become more ruthless. In my view the strategic importance of the ABC to developing Australias representative democracy is so high that I would be comfortable with the role of the ABC being the only issue at the next Federal election."

we all have opinions -- all of them are flawed by limited scope of evidence or understanding. If we are honest we have to recognize that these flaws in our opinions means that we can be wrong. Since we can be wrong it is best to keep an open mind about the matter -- and this is exactly what Rational Discussion is! Not having Time to find all the right evidence means that rarely should be certain that you are right -- but also it means that you can't be certain that the other person is entirely right either!

to offset inflation the higher the cost of living. It seems to me if you have the tax holiday you suggest it will just cause more inflation. Am I missing something? After some thought I realized that not all deficit spending leads to inflation. I believe though that much of it does. While I agree social security is not in danger as you say, wouldn't less people paying it and more collecting it lead to inflation? Yes, firms expand and contract production (supply) relative to changes in effective demand. As long as supply increases to accomodate rising demand due to more funding, there is no tendency to inflation although it doesn't mean that prices won't change -- just that the price level will not rise continuously, getting so far ahead of real wages as to result in wage pressure. The usual dynamic is asset price rise due to looser credit and more leverage, then goods prices rise, and then wages. Then the monetary authority raises interest rates to contract the economy and increase the buffer stock of unemployed to reduce wage pressure. The key is really wages. Hello!

in art, music and fashion. The United Kingdom was also looking towards the future with civilian nuclear power stations and the building of motorways. In housing ambitious targets were set and many high rise tower blocks were built. The 1960s and 1970s were a time of strife and the United Kingdom's inability to define its role in the world. It had been a founder member of NATO but had been half-hearted about the European Economic Community and when it eventually did attempt to join it was at first vetoed by France. At the same time traditional industries were failing and the country went through a series of financial crises and inflation soared to new heights. Defence spending was cut and cut again with treasured projects like TSR-2 and the construction of new aircraft carriers being scrapped as unaffordable. At the end of the 1970s a period of Conservative rule began with Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minister. With a foreign policy more in tune with that of the United States than its European allies, the United Kingdom re-established its special relationship with the Washington administration. Domestically, it was a period of great industrial hardship as one after another of the traditional industries was lost. Either the government refused to 'protect' them any longer, through subsidy, or they took them out of the protection of government ownership as many were de-nationalized. This programme of forced industrial change came to a head with the Miners' strike of 1984-1985. Perhaps the abiding memory of | NARRATIVE | NA HA | 180,811 |

Have you ever heard this before that when people see a URM at a top medical school or any medical school, they automatically assume it's only because of affirmative action? It annoys me.. because I'm not trying to sound cocky when I say this but I worked my butt off in undergrad to get good grades, leadership positions, extracurriculars and awards that will make me stand out as an applicant. And I think I could get into a great medical school whether I have URM status or not because I worked hard to get where I am, and I did it while working 2 jobs. And I think a lot of us on here worked just as hard. Hey, I completely agree with you. I always see those low stats people posting that they got an interview and they always mention (im not a URM). Then when a URM gains an interview it is assumed that they didn't work as hard or deserve it. I dont really think that it is necessarily affirmative action itself yet the competitive community on SDN and other settings that cause people to doubt other students efforts. I really don't see it as major of an advantage of some people make it out to be either. Even schools that boast diversity may have 800+ urm applicants and only accept 5 for that year.

But, for the sake of your dignity, I'd suggest vanilla ice cream and, as we're keeping things unabashedly traditional, a cherry or two. Deploy a cocktail umbrella entirely at your discretion. 1. Put the chocolate and cream into a small, heavy-based pan over a low heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted into the cream to make a smooth paste. 2. Stir in the syrup, followed by the butter and salt, to give a glossy sauce. 3. Keep warm until ready to serve, or just eat as is. What do you like to pour your chocolate sauce on?

is changing position along the 4th dimension that is Universal potential energy level that can be interpreted as time. This is a subjective interpretation of an entirely spatio-energetic phenomenon. Hence general relativity is also a subjective interpretation but of a physical phenomenon that is occurring in objective reality. The question is, what is universal time? Barbour makes the point that the only time "worthy of the name" is determined by the principle of least action. This is included in relativity. The "least action" is NO action, as with what happens with the internal function of light. There is none, therefore it is timeless. That would mean the only time "worthy of the name" is no time at all!! But that's not the case. Time is relative to the motion defining it, whether it's an atomic clock, or the cycles of the moon. It's like temperature. Absolute zero is the complete absence of motion, but that doesn't mean the only temperature worthy of the name is absolute zero. The problem with universal anything, is that it lacks definition. The more general any view/perspective is, the more rough grained and lacking detail it is, until it has no detail at all. That's the dichotomy. We can see the forest, or we can study the trees, but we can't do both at the same time. The absolute is both everything, or nothing. Anything inbetween is relative. It appears that in order to discuss this I will have to lay down some maths here. | ID | ID DF | 444,213 |

On my CONTRACT IT STATES: after completing probation period both parties need to give at least month notice if termination of employment. All i am asking for them to give me a month notice so i get paid properly, i think they are trying to get rid of me quickly claiming the are extending my probation. but how? they didn't send me nothing, no paperwork about it either Re: Please someone help, I have a review meeting tomorrow, chances are I will loose my job Thats very likely what a tribunal would rule if you had the right to take it to one, unfortunately until you have been employed for a year you couldn't take that to a tribunal. Unfortunately what employers CAN do and what they ACTUALLY do don't always coincide. Essentially many do as they please until brought before a tribunal. Failure to pay you your months notice could be a different matter. Re: Please someone help, I have a review meeting tomorrow, chances are I will loose my job OK. So you're entitled to 1 months notice, unless they can successfully argue that you're guilty of Gross Misconduct/Incapability. You completed your probation period, it wasn't extended.

that. You have forks and plates in the world. We debated whether you should be able to pick those up. There are certain things that have good gameplay: magic items, and gems, and gold, and then you have all these forks and plates and cups and everything you would find in a regular world. So we debated whether we should let you pick those up, because ultimately they are worthless; they are bad gameplay. But if we don't let you pick them up, it doesn't feel right. So the player self-manages and they realize plates are useless to carry around. We do tend to design the world and make it feel right, and then we can drive the players toward the good gameplay. Another good example is that we were doing these animations to make the town look alive. People would cook or chop wood. And we built these for just the people to do, but then we figured out that with a little extra work we can make it that the player can do all of these things. And then we find gameplay reasons for why we would want to chop wood--you make a little bit of money. Oftentimes in a game like this, when you are playing for a long period of time, I think the player wants some diversions. They are good self-managing their time--they just went to a dungeon that was very intense and they are like, "I would rather just go to town and relax." | SP | SP IT | 3,239,651 |

another: that it's never a bad time for a fresh reorganisation. Otherwise, much has changed. The source of the money that funds the NHS is still, as in 1948, general taxation, and there are no plans to change this. For the first 30 years, civil servants in Whitehall and the regions doled out annual budgets to hospitals and GPs according to the size of the populations they served and an estimate of the scale of their health problems. Money flowed down from the Treasury, but it didn't flow horizontally between the different parts of the NHS. Each element got its overall allowance, paid its staff, obtained its equipment and supplies, and co-operated, sometimes well, sometimes not, with the other elements, according to an overarching plan. The aim was fairness, an even spread of care across the country. In a monopoly healthcare system, competition had no place; on the contrary, it seemed sensible to the planners to avoid duplication of services. It was patriarchal and democratic, innovative and hidebound, cumbersome and cheap. For the majority without private insurance, if you were ill, you knew you'd always be cared for; if you were cared for carelessly, you had nowhere else to go. It's objectively hard to describe how money flows through the NHS now. The 'now' of the time of writing is not the 'now' of two weeks hence.

Contract Law. As breach of contract is a Civil rather than a Criminal matter, it's proper that the damages be "the benefit of the bargain", where the breacher has to make whole the other party. I for one would not have to face jail time if I need to break my lease. On the other hand, if my landlord evicts me because someone else wants to pay a higher rent for my place, I should get either "specific performance" (the landlord is forced to honor the lease as written) or my "benefit of the bargain" damages (my moving costs, incidental / consequential damages such as lost income from the time spent house-hunting, and (if the new rent is higher) paying the difference between my old rent and the rent at my new place.

that are inadequate to avoid financial hardship. Many will move into the Medicaid program which has more expansive coverage, but which reimburses providers at such a low rate that far too many will not be willing to accept patients under this program. With Medicaid chasing away providers, it too has become another form of underinsurance. Thus the touted increase in insurance enrollment under PPACA will be more than offset by the explosion in underinsurance - affecting the majority of Americans. What about report cards on physicians? Won't they reduce costs and improve quality? The best study of the impact of report cards on providers (a study of heart surgeons in New York) found they actually increased costs, worsened care, and inevitably gave physicians incentives to avoid the sickest patients. Several papers have documented the destructive effect of the NY Dept of Health's heart surgery report cards. The best is by Dranove et al, available here . Here's a quote from the Dranove paper: "[O]ur results show that report cards [on heart surgeons] led to increased expenditures for both healthy and sick patients, marginal health benefits for healthy patients, and major adverse health consequences for sicker patients. Thus, we conclude that report cards reduced our measure of welfare over the time period of our study" (p. 577). "[M]andatory reporting mechanisms inevitably give providers the incentive to decline to treat more difficult and complicated patients" (p. 581).

Well, it looks like the official announcement has been made: I'm going to be writer-in-residence at the Regina Public Library this September 1 through the end of next May. The Regina LeaderPost has the story here . I'm very excited about it. It's a paid position, $35,000 over the nine months, and 70 percent of my time remains my own for my own writing projects, with 30 percent going to writer-in-residence projects. Those will include meeting with anyone who wants to talk about writing with me one day a week at the library's main branch (looks like that day will be Wednesday), conducting school readings, and holding at least one free workshop at the library. The Regina Public Library was the first public library in Canada to offer a writer-in-residence program, back in 1978 I'll be the 24th writer to hold the position. You can read more about the program here . My precursors in this position are an awfully talented bunch. Hope I can live up to their standards! If you're in the area and interested in writing, I hope you'll make an appointment to come chat with me sometime during my term. I'll do my best to be helpful! Beginning September 8, Jordan will provide aspiring writers of all genres with an opportunity to receive guidance and advice from an established Canadian author by consulting with individuals who would like assistance with personal writing projects.

the very least you're looking at a lot of googling to find them again ) So, if the Facebook servers burned down, and you could google to retrieve one thing, what would it be for ? : ) Hi Matt, I couldn't give a toss if the FB servers burned down - what I would miss most in an internet fire would be a) this blog and b) the network I have established in Twitter. The former because I would never get back all the content I have put in on here, the latter because my network has built up over 18 months or so. As you say, both of these are about identity, but also, really useful - indeed essential probably for my professional life. Doc, Yep, it's a virtual world alright, but i don't see the impending cloud culture a bad thing. Yes, having a tactile history at hand is reassuring and often a reminder of who we were, are and wish we'd been - though i do see such items/possessions a little like a safety blanket - fuufy if you will - and maybe this and later generations will be liberated from the shackles of ownership. Perhaps my sons will have to affirm their identity through their actions and general character more than I. Of course this is wishful thinking - both are submerged into fake video (do we say Video now?) worlds - and don't fully appreciate how to covet their belongings.

a year. Ms Wilkinson claims the moves will encourage employers to take a chance on young, inexperienced workers who would otherwise drift on to a benefit. She points to Labour Department research which found that scrapping the youth minimum wage resulted in the loss of 9000 jobs -- though its report was not as straightforward as she suggests. Ms Wilkinson is right to be concerned about youth unemployment, which is about 25 per cent at present. However, simply reducing the amount young people can be paid is not the way to solve it, and could have adverse consequences for other workers. The starting-out wage is predicted to "create" 2000 jobs for 16 to 19-year-olds but, tellingly, an information sheet on the change fails to answer its own question of whether those jobs will just be transferred from other age groups. There is also no satisfactory explanation as to why the period of "eligibility" needs to be extended to six months. By definition, young workers being hired at the lower rate will be filling jobs that are unskilled and require little experience. It is difficult to see why they cannot be brought up to speed within three months, especially as the Government itself considers that sufficient for new workers subject to employment probation periods to prove themselves. There is also a real risk that unscrupulous employers will use the change to take on teenagers for menial jobs that do nothing to improve their skills and experience then show them the door | OP | OP OB | 1,785,244 |

Moreover, wasn't the retro-strategy one of the reasons that people started turning away from Rovers and buying more contemporary designs? I love fastbacks and love the idea of creating a modern day SD1 but I feel it should not have retro features like this dashboard, which will appeal only to people who love SD1s. For them, an A4-class car will be too small... Anyway, let's hope the MG6 will, indeed, be produced at Longbridge -- that could be the start of a new era for modern cars designed in Britain. Let's just hope SAIC never move design to China . . . Ralph, I can see your point about SD1 lovers wanting a larger car but I doubt that this would be done as JLR have the XF in the slot above.

Ultimately, I don't think you can separate from the people involved in it. And so yeah, I guess, for me it's the whole, everything involved in what comes into making it and everything involved in what comes into enjoying it. For example, I could tell you, from the guy who cuts our records in Berlin, to the people who distribute our records, to the shops the shops that sell them, to the DJs that play them, to the guys that make the music behind them, to the guy that designs the cover, I know all these people personally.

I believe that the hon. Lady even went so far as to say that the peers would actually resist any move by this House to prevent the right to sit in another place from going with a peerage. I maintain that there have been many indications that that is very far from being the case, not only here, but in another place as well. I do not know whether the hon. and gallant Gentleman is referring to peeresses. If he is, I would point out that I made it perfectly clear that the Committee of Privileges actually 280 agreed to Viscountess Rhondda's petition; and if it is a question of the hereditary principle, I said that that also was agreed. I do not think the hon. Lady is really acquainted with the point I was making; I was dealing with something she said before she started dealing with peeresses. I believe I am right in saying that she said she could visualise great resistance in the event of a Bill being introduced here to separate the two rights, that of being a peer and that of sitting in another place. I think that from past records that is far from being the actual case. There is one other aspect with which I wish to deal.

'Back of the sheds' was a local term used for a small community in the Belle Vue area of Shrewsbury. Houses were originally built for engine drivers and firemen who worked for the LMS and GWR railway companies. Many of our local lads had been called up. In order to send them regular food parcels, sweets, cigarettes and money, it was decided to start the Back of the Sheds Social Committee. Both my parents were on the committee, which proved to be very successful, forming a focal point for the local community. The committee met regularly at the Mission Room (Church Hall), organising functions, the proceeds of which went towards the parcels. The Lowe family were very much involved in arranging shows. I particularly remember the 'Babes in the Wood' pantomime -- I was a gnome. It was such fun practising and mothers were busy making the outfits. All the money taken at the door was used for the troops' parcels. We became quite famous locally and other areas asked us to give them shows in their community centres. All the profit would go to their local boys at war. We had such fun. I remember having permission to go to school with my hair in rags to look pretty for the evening show.

games, in riddles, seemingly at random; But superstition, like belief, must die, And what remains when disbelief has gone? Grass, weedy pavement, brambles, buttress, sky, A shape less recognisable each week, A purpose more obscure. I wonder who Will be the last, the very last, to seek This place for what it was; one of the crew That tap and jot and know what rood-lofts were? Some ruin-bibber, randy for antique, Or Christmas-addict, counting on a whiff Of gown-and-bands and organ-pipes and myrrh? Or will he be my representative, Bored, uninformed, knowing the ghostly silt Dispersed, yet tending to this cross of ground Through suburb scrub because it held unspilt So long and equably what since is found Only in separation - marriage, and birth, And death, and thoughts of these - for which was built This special shell? For, though I've no idea What this accoutred frowsty barn is worth, It pleases me to stand in silence here; A serious house on serious earth it is, In whose blent air all our compulsions meet, Are recognized, and robed as destinies. And that much never can be obsolete, Since someone will forever be surprising A hunger in himself to be more serious, And gravitating with it to this ground, Which, he once heard, was proper to grow wise in, If only that so many dead lie round. | LY | LY PO | 17,163 |

I have had more than a few nasty problems selling and buying privately but my dealings with dealers remotely has been trouble free with a number of cases where the dealer has been extremely helpful when there was a problem. My experience is that the higher prices from dealers is definitely balanced by the lack of hassle. Maybe I have been lucky.

Unless the dealer had a queue of peopel for the preamp then why not just send it over to the customer and openly call it a 'home demo'. Good service and nowt to lose. He can still advertise it as well and keep a list of further people who express interest in the event that the original customer decides it's not for him. Some dealers of course want an easier life and easier sales and less graft work to wake up to every morning which is fine.

In my capacity as resident Grammar Nazi, I fired off an email to him, gently suggesting that "poinsettia" ends the same way as genitalia, memorabilia, Pennsylvania, pyromania, etc.- in an "ee-yah" sound, not just an "ah" sound. The next evening, he mentioned that many viewers had taken him to task over this controversial issue (ROFL), so he played a clip of a stringer interviewing the manager of the Nursery where they had bought their poinsettias. Based on his speech, this man never met a 4th grade teacher. Even bearing in mind that I live in a semi-rural Southern U.S. area, this individual was exceptionally limited (and most illiterate-sounding) in his speech. However, he assured the news folks that the correct pronunciation was "Poinsetta" and even obtained on-camera corroboration from (wait for it) the fork-lift driver as he plunked a pallet of Poinsettias into a pick-em-up truck: "Yup, them there's Poinsettas, all right.

At the end of "Legacy," it viewed Reese as a threat, too, and tagged him with a red box. As of "Firewall," it seems to be prepared to work with Reese to rescue Finch from Root. The machine seems quite attached to Finch overall, especially in flashbacks. When he first began testing it, he had to teach it that he was not special and did not deserve extra protection, and it's revealed that the machine also set him up to meet his future wife, simply because it was able to look at her life and see that she was a match for him.

widespread acceptance of Sun's Java implementation. This campaign, together with actions that Microsoft took with the sole purpose of making it difficult for developers to write Java applications with technologies that would allow them to be ported between Windows and other platforms, impeded another form of innovation that bore the potential to diminish the applications barrier to entry. There is insufficient evidence to find that, absent Microsoft's actions, Navigator and Java already would have ignited genuine competition in the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems. It is clear, however, that Microsoft has retarded, and perhaps altogether extinguished, the process by which these two middleware technologies could have facilitated the introduction of competition into an important market. 412. Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's actions have conveyed to every enterprise with the potential to innovate in the computer industry. Through its conduct toward Netscape, IBM, Compaq, Intel, and others, Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's core products. Microsoft's past success in hurting such companies and stifling innovation deters investment in technologies and businesses that exhibit the potential to threaten Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest. | IN | IN LT | 184,815 |

Obama won Hispanic voters, who comprised 10 per cent of the electorate, 71 per cent to 27 per cent for Romney, a slightly worse outcome for the Republican than in 2008, when Obama carried Latinos 67 per cent to Arizona Senator John McCain's 31 per cent. "Instead of them curling up in the ball and asking, 'Where did we lose conservative whites,' we need to add people to the coalition," Davis said of the Republicans. "There are just not enough old white guys around." That means "different messengers" such as a more prominent role for such figures as Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a son of immigrants from India, and Rubio, a Cuban- American, Davis said. The party also will need to come up with a "different approach" to immigration, he said. "The big issue the Republican party is going to have to wrestle with is the Hispanic issue," Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary in the George W. Bush administration, said on CNN. "The Republicans are going to have to figure out a different way forward" on immigration.

just like the Beta Blocker Side Effects of another class of heart drugs, can cause a condition known as Prolonged QT Interval . Prolonged QT Interval, as you can read on its page, is a heart electrical conduction problem that can lead sudden death. Bradycardia, another Side Effect of Amiodarone, is an unusual slowing of the heart that can lead to problems such as low blood pressure, passing out unexpectedly and feelings of dizziness. While some studies state that these heart changes don't lead to sudden death except in rare occasions, prolonged QT interval is an EXTREMELY dangerous condition to have that you certainly don't want to actually be GIVEN by taking a drug. And most studies on Congestive Heart Failure Death and death after myocardial infarction (heart attack) show no benefit to taking Amiodarone in terms of survival. In fact, most studies show that having an Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) inserted into your body is better for survival after heart attack and heart failure. But could there be a better way to prevent these heart irregularities without having to have a surgery?

game to integrate with the interface anyway? How is it not good for games? I've been playing all my games on it with no issues. It's not so much that games won't work, but any gamer who runs Windows 8 and wishes to install a game that integrates fully with the new user interface will only be able to download the application through the Windows Store. This will give Microsoft absolute control over which software will be available if users wish to enjoy all the ' advantages ' of the new operating system.

dip the part you want to stick in a bit more plain flour, then dab water on it with the tip of a knife (the bits are pretty small and fiddly) -- this makes a gluey consistency which helps secure snouts and beaks to bodies. Leave it all out overnight. The icing will harden quite a bit, transforming the birds into far better ammunition and the pigs into more solid targets. Plus, having the bodies hardened makes it much easier to apply the finishing touches and details in the morning, as you'll be less worried about them squishing in your hands as you add the eyes, feathers, and quiffs. Top tip: Marzipan is the perfect colour for the red bird's tummy. Step 4 -- How to make the stones and ice Crack open your packet of ready-to-roll white icing. Now use your sharp knife to cut out some large triangles and squares (stones), and some smaller cubes and rectangles (ice). To create the stone effect, use your thin paint brush to paint around the edges with undiluted black food colouring. Then pop a little of the black food colouring in a glass and add a few shots of water to dilute it. This gives you a greyish shade that you can blend into the middle, working from the edges inwards.

new developments each year. This body was unfortunately dissolved sometime in the early 1990s, and the specificity of analysis of each territory has suffered ever since. Emerging from this process were specific resolutions calling for concrete actions -- such as visiting missions, support to political education processes and so on. We helped to craft these recommendations which became part of the resolutions. Similar resolutions were adopted for all of the territories.

Formats Book Description Publication Date: May 17, 2004 Now a modern classic, Michael Green's Evangelism in the Early Church provides a comprehensive look at the ways the first Christians -- from the New Testament period up until the middle of the third century -- worked to spread the good news to the rest of the world. In describing life in the early church, Green explores crucial aspects of the evangelistic task that have direct relevance for similar work today, including methods, motives, and strategies. He assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the evangelistic approaches used by the earliest Christians, and he also considers the obstacles to evangelism, using outreach to Gentiles and to Jews as examples of differing contexts for proclamation. Carefully researched and frequently quoting primary sources from the early church, this book will both show contemporary readers what can be learned from the past and help renew their own evangelistic vision.

Queensland covers its environmental tracks The Queensland Coordinator-General has cleared the way for an environmental assessment of the Central Queensland Integrated Rail project that aims to break a major minerals export bottleneck. Coordinator-General, Barry Broe finalised the terms of reference for the environmental assessment after receiving 21 submissions from the public and agencies on the controversial freight rail system linking mines in Galilee and Bowen Basins to ports in the Abbot Point and Hay Point areas. Mr Broe said the public will have another chance to provide feedback on the project once the environment impact statement (EIS) was released. "The submissions have been taken into account in finalising the terms of reference, so the way is now clear for the proponent to complete its EIS studies. "When I am satisfied that the EIS addresses the terms of reference, the document will be circulated to key stakeholders, and advertised for public comment," Mr Broe said. An EIS covering the potential environmental impacts of rail operator QR National's proposed $2 billion freight rail system is a requirement of the state and federal governments. But the project has the agribusiness sector and farmers worried because it proposes to cut five creeks in some of the state's biggest and flattest floodplains with the potential for environmental damage spanning over the next 100 years.

GSM Security and Encryption by David Margrave, George Mason University 1.0 Introduction The motivations for security in cellular telecommunications systems are to secure conversations and signaling data from interception as well as to prevent cellular telephone fraud. With the older analog-based cellular telephone systems such as the Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) and the Total Access Communication System (TACS), it is a relatively simple matter for the radio hobbyist to intercept cellular telephone conversations with a police scanner. A well-publicized case involved a potentially embarrassing cellular telephone conversation with a member of the British royal family being recorded and released to the media. Another security consideration with cellular telecommunications systems involves identification credentials such as the Electronic Serial Number (ESN), which are transmitted "in the clear" in analog systems. With more complicated equipment, it is possible to receive the ESN and use it to commit cellular telephone fraud by "cloning" another cellular phone and placing calls with it. Estimates for cellular fraud in the U.S. in 1993 are as high as $500 million. The procedure wherein the Mobile Station (MS) registers its location with the system is also vulnerable to interception and permits the subscriber?s location to be monitored even when a call is not in progress, as evidenced by the recent highly-publicized police pursuit of a famous U.S. athlete. The security and authentication mechanisms incorporated in GSM make it the most secure mobile communication standard currently available, particularly in comparison to the analog systems described above.

ideas of what is attractive and what is sexy, but Paul doesn't see it as a challenge. "I'm a man and so there's always a certain tension there, but I'm also a very professional artist so I keep a big distance. In each work, I'm almost a different kind of photographer. Sometimes I'm like a dirty old man, and sometimes I'm a doctor, if you can imagine that. I can be five different photographers in the same series." "I want to make a whole body of work, not just one image. Every series has got a different fetish. There is always a type of beauty there because, as an artist, you cannot escape it." Does he think that nudity can ever exist entirely separately from sex, or implications of sex? "I have a lot of nude collections, of medical photography, police and war photography and so I think it is possible, absolutely."

When I photograph fountains, I have an obsession with that for a few months. Photographing women is the same. I cannot stop making nude images but I can't say why.

government funding of an organisation which would be set up under statute which would be guaranteed independence? That is the critical issue. Peter Bartlett : Guaranteed independence? How can you guarantee independence if that regulatory body is totally funded by government? It is a fair point but courts are funded by government. Court fees do not even come close to allow the courts to be self supporting. The issue is independence. That involves statutory guarantees and the right personnel. That is not to say I don't share Bartlett's concerns. Any heavy handed oversight should be rejected. Who appoints the regulators? The government appoints them. Are we going to see, during a Labor government, people sympathetic to the Labor government appointed to that regulator? During a Liberal National Party government, more conservative people appointed to the regulator? That is not the type of regulation of the media that we want and need.

The HeyUGuys Interview -- Barry Norman, CBE Cast your mind back to the pre-internet age (admittedly, a tough task) where film-related content was sparse, and finding out about the latest releases and industry news was an altogether frugal and challenging task. Luckily, there was one perennial TV figure who provided a regular means of getting your cinematic fix (providing your parents remembered to hit record on the video, or you caught the repeats on a Saturday morning). For the better part of three decades, cinema lovers tuned in to watch Barry Norman report on forthcoming features, chat with the Hollywood elite and cast his critical eye over the weekly big-screen releases via the BBC's revered Film programme. Norman was popular enough to spawn a famous, oft-quoted catchphrase ("and why not?") and his reviews informed a whole generation of film fans.

In "Fall of Giants" it's because the book is so well researched about the period (early 20th century especially WWI) with information on coal mining, trade unions, women's suffrage, protocols and manners of the minor royalty, politics, government, revolution and war. The story flows from this rich period but the riveting characters are at the forefront. Even the largely unsympathetic characters, such as the Earl, are made at least understandable because Follett thoughtfully portrays their motivations. There are few totally good or evil characters here, as it should be. (Though Follett seems none too fond of Russians and priests - be they Catholic, Anglican or Orthodox!) In past reviews I have criticized authors that I believe would benefit from more editing (e.g., Steven King, John Irving) so why don't I find Follett's book to be too long? Because there are no slow spots, no political point pushing, and no self-indulgent purple prose. I learned a great deal about WWI reading this novel, what led up to it and how it set the stage for WWII, which I hope is the subject of the next volume. It was fascinating to read about how the media and the governments of all the countries involved, lied to their people about how bad it was.

It's a customer that, if you want to stay in the box and have 1176 on every channel, you can. That's the digital value. What have been the hardest components to model? I think generally magnetics have been hard along with non-linearity's in general. Linear stuff, if something is really and truly linear, that tends to be easier. Although, a linear EQ, with a lot of interaction between bands can also offer its own type of complexity. Non-linearities that occur in feedback loops occur in some of the most interesting devices with interesting sonic characteristics. These tend to be very complicated. Additionally, these often involve a lot of computational complexity because as soon as you have non-linearities, you are going to get overtones and you want to be able to model all of the harmonics without aliasing, so there's a burden of getting the algorithm right but there's a burden of implementation because you need a lot of processing power if you want to do it alias-free. I think we've got our digital stuff incredibly, incredibly close to analog. If you look at what we're doing now versus what we were doing ten years ago, we just keep pushing the envelope each time.

3 Answers I suspect the author in that sentence hesitated between often and most of the time : he wanted to indicate that it was helpful very, very often; but he didn't want to go so far as to say that it was helpful more than 50 % of the time, and so he chose a somewhat cowardly expression in between. I think he would have been better off choosing either often or most of the time , or perhaps very often , though I don't think the added intensity of very is really necessary. Most of the time is an expression indicating that something happens more often than not, usually much more often. Much of the time would not really be a common idiomatic expression in this situation; I'd be reluctant to use it in a context of frequent events, because I can't imagine a situation where you could not substitute often , a simpler word.

Thomas seems to give precedence to the genre of "sayings gospel." He argues that they really aren't the same genre since Q has a narrative sequence containing chronology and biography not found in Thomas, especially in the first 1/3 of Q. He explains the other 2/3 and how it is explicable on the assumption that Luke used Matt. Goodacre is an outstanding teacher. He took a tedius subject and explained it in a way that was easy to follow. His arguments are sharp and well-articulated. He uses footnotes instead of endnotes so you don't have to flip back and forth to read them. The only bad things I have to say about the book is that the vast majority of it answers objections to Luke's use of Matthew, and only a small percentage of the book makes the case that Luke used Matt. He does a great job of tearing down one point of view, but doesn't do much in the way of building up his own case.

on the game and creating a few star players that the kids can follow and aspire to. We will be taking our Learn -- Play -- Compete days to schools to raise awareness, there will be state and national championships and also the Melbourne Victory Panna Cup which will see one player become a Panna Pro for Australia's biggest club and, at the end of season, we will be launching a 'made For TV' event. To play Panna is a bit like a pick and mix. At the moment we are focused on 1v1 and 3v3 but as we progress the other formats will come into play. First pick the game you want to play 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4. Then you pick the type of game, of which we have three. - Panna Goal is our beginners'/junior game where you just score as many goals as you can to win the game. - Panna Street is a step up to introduce a bit more technicality where if you make a Panna it counts as a goal. - Panna is the ultimate game, where if you make a Panna it wins kills the game instantly, regardless of the score. You also see two types of players playing the game. First is 'The Scorer' who is a physical player and concentrates on just scoring goals and second is 'The Skiller,' a tactical skilful player with lots of technical ground moves who is aiming to Panna his opponent.

But when the government takes hesitant steps and is caught in obviously conflicting and inconsistent positions related to regulating the industry, courts are given the opposite message. When that happens, the courts are less willing to recognise the uniquely destructive nature of tobacco and tend to treat tobacco like other legitimate products on the market. When the government holds the trump cards (the legislative strings), it can afford to be aggressive. There are signs that the health side may realise the warnings, despite the fact that litigation is assured. First, the government's track record on tobacco is attracting sufficient criticism that it will have to deliver some significant reforms on this issue. Second, the health minister is ambitious and has had a series of setbacks on a number of key health files. He now needs a "win" on the tobacco/health file. The industry's case The industry does not have a good case to block the introduction of the new warnings. The manufacturers tried to block warnings similar to those now on Canadian packages but the Supreme Court of Canada found little sympathy for the industry position. Nine Supreme Court judges unanimously rejected the industry's request for a stay: "Further, both parties agree that past studies have shown that health warnings on tobacco product packages do have some effects in terms of increasing public awareness of the dangers of smoking and in reducing the overall incidence of smoking in our society. . . .

on that supply? The legislation that has been enacted to provide certainty on various transitional issues applies in these circumstances (see new section 78AA(13) of the GST Act). Provided the original incorrect invoice is cancelled by issuing a credit note that complies with the requirements of section 25 of the GST Act and a replacement invoice is issued to the correct recipient, the replacement invoice can account for GST at the 12.5% rate. Insurance receipts: What happens if my insurance company makes a payment to me that I do not receive until after 1 October? When a GST registered party receives an insurance payout from their insurer in relation to a loss incurred in the course or furtherance of their taxable activity, they are required to pay GST on that payment. A deemed supply arises on the day the registered person receives the payment. (section 5(13)) A payment may be made by the insurer in late September 2010 but not received by the insured party until October 2010. This would mean that the recipient has to pay GST at the rate of 15% on the payment, but because the payment by the insurer may only factor in GST at the old rate of 12.5% 1 , the overall payment may not fully cover the loss. An amendment provides some leeway for payments in the pipeline (see section 78AA(14)). A payment under a contract of insurance received on or after 1 October 2010 is treated as being received on 30 September | IN | IN FI | 1,755,334 |
Paul Sanchez had been a reveling singer and songwriter for decades -- it was his entire life. But when tragedy struck the one thing he loved more than his music, he realized that his performing days were numbered. Most of the music in this piece was by Paul Sanchez, including songs from the musical he is currently working on, Nine Lives. It's a musical about the history of New Orleans between hurricanes Isaac and Katrina -- you can hear it on Spotify already, so definitely listen.

persons. Christians are distinguished from the profane and atheists, that they dare not live without prayer; and they are distinguished from Jews and pagans, that they call on the name of Christ. Observe how often in these verses the apostle repeats the words, Our Lord Jesus Christ. He feared not to make too frequent or too honourable mention of him. To all who called upon Christ, the apostle gave his usual salutation, desiring, in their behalf, the pardoning mercy, sanctifying grace, and comforting peace of God, through Jesus Christ. Sinners can have no peace with God, nor any from him, but through Christ. He gives thanks for their conversion to the faith of Christ; that grace was given them by Jesus Christ. They had been enriched by him with all spiritual gifts. He speaks of utterance and knowledge. And where God has given these two gifts, he has given great power for usefulness. These were gifts of the Holy Ghost, by which God bore witness to the apostles. Those that wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, will be kept by him to the end; and those that are so, will be blameless in the day of Christ, made so by rich and free grace. How glorious are the hopes of such a privilege; to be kept by the power of Christ, from the power of our corruptions and Satan's temptations!

2 Comments General Comment: Yeah, it's about JFK and I've heard Dylan had a song with the same title as well. Grateful Dead do as well, though the lyrics are very different. Cat Power has a song by the same title, and some of the lyrics are very similar, but I think it's kind of a half-cover or something. This is the only song by the Byrds that I really like, mostly because of its topic. It's really good, though. General Comment: I think its kind of obvious that this song is about the JFK assassanation. I'm pretty sure Dylan had a song titled the same, but I think it had different lyrics. Either way, this is a great song, and even though its about a very sad thing, it still sounds happy. | LY | LY SL | 439,420 |

are told, where the full purity of these restored teachings is revealed. The temple ceremonies, written by Joseph Smith soon after he became a Freemason and containing many Masonic parallels, are said to replicate the rituals performed in the temples of Solomon and Herod. Only those worthy to enter the temple may return to God after death. About 20% of Mormons hold "recommends," cards permitting them entrance to the temple and performance of the secret ceremonies. The so-called "restored" gospel teachings presented above are emphasized in a visual manner by a video. I've been through the "endowment" ritual several times. It takes about 90 minutes. The words and actions never vary. The temple patron hears the Gods' plan for creating the world and mankind; he makes "covenants" with the Lord to support the Mormon Church in every way he can; he promises not to speak critically of Mormon leaders and to avoid loud laughter; he will live a righteous and faithful life. Throughout the presentation, the patrons are taught special "signs" and "tokens," consisting of various arm gestures and handclasps, each having sacred names. Participants also don special clothing and head coverings during the endowment. Temple attendance is obligatory for ultimate salvation. Even if you live a good, holy, Mormon life, assenting to its doctrines and participating in church activities, you cannot enter the presence of God without giving Him, after death, the same signs and tokens and code names learned in the temple.

Resolved Question City Link say that they have delivered my item, but they haven't? I ordered a new keyboard online yesterday. It was supposed to be delivered today but it wasn't. City Link are meant to ask for a signature when they deliver something, but because there was nobody in the house all day they would have had to leave a card, the thing is, they didn't. I got home and there was no keyboard, no card, nothing to indicate that they had even attempted delivery. I assumed that they just didn't have the parcel yet and would deliver it tomorrow, but when I went to check on the City Link website (they have a tracker) it says that the item was delivered today at 12:55pm and it was signed for by somebody with my last name. I have checked with everybody who lives in my house and they didn't sign for it, they weren't even in the house all day (they were at school and work). There is no way that anybody signed for this item and it is not in my possession. How do I go about getting my item, or getting my money back? I am going to email the company that I bought the item from but I'm worried that they won't believe me because City Link have put on their tracker that the item was signed for by somebody with my last name, which is completely untrue.

they need to tolerate stress, and believe that their own actions determine the rewards of business activities (internal locus of control) rather than outisde factors or the actions of others. Need for autonomy refer to the entrepreneurs' avoidance of restricted organizational rules, and wish to be in control, which certainly explains the choice to become an entrepreneur. There is also research supporting the thought that the personality traits of an entrepreneur are different from those of managers who are employees in some organization. How you become a business owner or entrepreneur is also relevant. An Austrian study found that those who initiated their own business seemed to have different personality traits (more entrepreneurial) than those who inherited or took over a family business. Weaknesses Of course, there are weaknesses in these studies as in all studies. A study using psychological instruments to measure personality traits and compare the responses of groups of people, necessarily needs relatively large samples. The names of businesses and their owners are often gathered through business registers or through some organisation. Not all contacted persons return the questionnaires, which might even reflect the personality of those who return the questionnaires and those who don't. It may also be difficult to judge whether a successful business truly is innovative or merely expanding. In other words, some business owners who are not innovative or whose business does not have novelty value, may yet be categorized into entrepreneurial businesses, and they may very well possess some of the entrepreneurial | IN | IN OI | 316,681 |
In Conversation With.... Mike Dean of Corrosion Of Conformity 5 November 2012 No Comment By Matt Hinch Prior to Corrosion of Conformity embarking on a North American tour, on which the Kingston, Ontario date had just been canceled (re-booked for Barrie), I had the chance to have a conversation with bassist/vocalist Mike Dean . We discussed this year's self-titled release, influences old and new, touring in Canada, and even the NHL lockout. Enjoy. I hear you're recording now, you had the record in the Spring, another one coming out (Eye For An Eye reissue), and a tour. Being so busy, is it wearing you down at all or are you feeling invigorated by all the work? Fairly invigorated because we keep a pretty sustainable pace even though it gets a little hectic at times. Especially in terms of touring, we like to tag up home every few weeks. And keep things functional at home. We're not generally out for 3 solid months. We're out for 3 weeks and then we come home for a short period of time and we go back out. We're trying to make it real sustainable. We did just write and record 5 songs, all told, in about 5 weeks time which is kinda short for us to organize the whole thing and all that. That was little hectic, in a good way. But, no no it's not wearing us down. Speaking of the self-titled, to me it sounds a little closer to your crossover roots. | SP | SP IT | 3,371,203 |
feel that the boys are getting ripped off don't have to worry. A BDB book is around 140,000 words, while an average romance novel is said to be 100,000-120,000. The novella will be 90,000-100,000 words and will be as hot as the threesome in Lover Unleashed . Qhuinn is reinventing himself, and even though he removed a lot of his piercings, the holes are still there. He still has metal down under and I think he still has his tongue stud, too, so it's interesting that he's kept the more discreet ones that could be used to pleasure a partner even though he's celibate. Apparently, Qhuinn's vision of Layla (which I believe is what led Ward to say initially that she believed Qhuinn would be with a female) means that she will bear young for Blay and Qhuinn, who cannot reproduce together as a couple.

The engine was a six-cylinder, water-cooled "V"-type, which was fueled by a gasoline tank mounted above it to permit gravity feed. A single steering wheel controlled height and direction of flight. Flying wires stretched between the wings had to be properly tightened to ensure structural strength. Very light in weight, these machines were easily damaged in their all-too-frequent crashes. Stark was injured late in 1912, after making numerous personal appearances at events around the province. The well-known husband and wife team of John Bryant and Alys McKey Bryant visited British Columbia in 1913 during their tour of the Pacific Northwest. Alys, like Billy Stark, had been trained by Glenn Curtiss, and had made her reputation as an excellent pilot before her marriage. Taking to the air on July 31 at Minoru Park, she became the first woman to pilot a plane in Canada. Over Victoria on August 6, John Bryant was the first aviator to fly over the downtown area of a British Columbia city. That same day he exchanged his wheeled undercarriage for a float and took off from Victoria harbour in gusty wind conditions. Over the city, one of the wings collapsed and the machine crashed onto the roof of a building near the waterfront. Bryant was killed instantly - Canada's first aviation fatality.

CD may NOT be included! Editorial Reviews Blohowiak, author of Lead Your Staff to Think Like Einstein, Create Like da Vinci, and Invent Like Edison (1995), begins here with the assumption that downsizing--by whatever name--is now a fact of organizational life. Rather than argue its faults or merits, he targets those responsible for keeping things going after downsizing has taken place. He notes the problems faced by so-called survivors, those employees that remain with the organization, and he analyzes the various skills a leader must have to motivate these employees to maintain or increase productivity and quality. The need, demonstrates Blohowiak, is for a leader to be an educator, quality assurer, cheerleader, dragon slayer, talent scout, and all-around well-adjusted human being with a sense of humor. David Rouse This book is great. The author doesn't gloss over the reality of working in our new, downsized environment, but doesn't take the victim route either. This book is funny and empowering.
