44. If you do have a mind to actually hear what Jennings said in the midst of all the hubbub, then go do it. I can assure you that the unedited interview with Dylan Avery is very specific indeed. Jennings states and reiterates the point after urging from Avery to clarify. It is 20 minutes long but the critical conversation points are throughout, bear with it. Jennings specifically states (twice) that both towers were standing when he climbed back up from the 6th floor after explosions blew him from his feet and prevented him from descending further. This of course renders the "timeline" faux argument irrelevant. Those are certainly less credibile than a man who can clearly remember being trapped in building seven and seeing fire-fighters run from his location towards the collapse of the first tower. Jennings said they told him not to use the firehose to descend the side of the building and that they would be back. They (fire-fighters) returned some time later to help affect Jennings' escape only to be pulled away yet again at the collapse of the second tower. This is incontrovertible eye-witness evidence from a man who has no motive for deception. Sadly of course we will never be 100% sure by way of any kind of criminal or lawful testimony as he died in August 2008 and we still await information regarding the cause of his death.

ignores the words, for example, of the New Testament: "All Scripture [ie., the Old Testament] is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness -" 2 Tim 3:16 Now this comment was made in New Testament times when the Old Testament had been in shape for at least 400 years, and included the book of Ecclesiastes. So the inference is that Ecclesiastes is also God-breathed, ie. the writer was expressing a God-given truth. So then is that it? Does it mean that there is no hope at all for a future life, even if one has been on one's best behaviour all life through? There is an interesting passage in the writings of the Psalms: a collection of poetry from the period 1000 -- 500 BC, and it reads like this: "For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others. Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves. "But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish. "This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. Like sheep they are destined for the grave, and death will feed on them. The upright will rule over them in the morning; their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.

to marriage. I think in my state (WA) I can get those benefits with a domestic partnership, but they only apply to the state specific ones, not federal benefits. #38 kathy @ 4:23 am March 15th, 2011 I know an older couple.. maybe on social security, or disability ( he walks with a walker). They just got married a couple months ago. A good christian couple. They were recently very sad to discover "her" check was decreased by $600. and they have to repay for the months, they were "overpaid," that is their only income. I don't know why the woman's check was the decreased check, or why somehow they are entitled to less.. they were already living together prior to marriage, so for them it was a huge hit. #39 Jeroen @ 5:51 am March 15th, 2011 Trent, none of the advantages you cite have anything to do with marriage. Being in a commited living together relationship has all the same benefits. If there are legal benefits to marriage in the US, maybe you should list those, instead of the above. This can be discussed and argued forever if marriage is only discussed in financial terms -- which I know was the case of the post. The crux is that the beauty and nobility of marriage cannot be measured in numbers. The economic benefits are icing on the cake. The real benefits are having a loving, secure, peaceful place to live, to be, to raise kids. A good marriage | OP | OP AV OB | 3,274,746 |
sister had severe malnutrition and health problems. her fathers tore her fences down is a picture of the effect of that event (and another) which stripped her of her ability to function as a person. when i was 17 my family had been going through hell for about 7 years at a particular church. ma was working about 50 hours a week for nothing in a pretty vulnerable environment under a person who i guess was a father figure. and dad was working as a groundsman for next to nothing. that environment had a similar effect on her as her upbringing. this is the second father. (in the lyric it is fathers). after a particularly damaging incident ma came home locked her self in her room with a packet of panadol and a plastic bag and was going to kill herself. the thought of her fathers suicide and the effects it had on her and her love for me and my siblings was the only thing she said stopped her. she only told me a couple years later. the song is about the few incidents in my life where love has been truely communicated to me. i may share more in the future.

Comfortable limo with a slight middle stretch Unfortunately we took the traditional route into Seoul, and the traffic was quite slow at times on the freeway. Closer in the freeway follows the Han River, and the last time I was in Seoul, it was frozen over, the first time in 30 years Apart from work on Tuesday and Wednesday, I have Sunday and Monday for a look around. Sunday in Seoul was beautiful sunshine and blue skies, with the temperature ranging between 2 and 6 deg C -- you needed a good jacket walking around. From my hotel window I can see the Olympic Stadium, and I spent the whole day walking around the local area, north down to the Han River and west to Gangnam. I had thought of going up to the DMZ to look at the border with North Korea, but I left it a bit too late to book. I thought I could manage it on the Monday, but unfortunately it was raining, and would not be so good.

the largest island of the leeward group, named Havai'i after an ancient homeland. From this center various groups later dispersed to people other islands, taking with them a common basic language, the same foodstuffs and animals, a common religion, and a common cultural background of myth and tradition. Therefore all Polynesian cultures, wherever found in the wide spaces of the Polynesian triangle have common elements that can be traced back to a common period of reorganization in central Polynesia. One basic language prevails throughout Polynesia. The vowels are consistently the same - a, e, i, o, and u, pronounced as in French or German - and the consonants are always followed by a vowel. Dialects have developed in various island groups by changes in consonant sounds. R and v are used in central and eastern Polynesia where l and v are used in western Polynesia. In some dialects certain consonants are not fully sounded but are represented or should be represented by an inverted comma over its place in the word. In the Society Islands, k and ng were dropped; so the name for the ancestral homeland, pronounced Havaiki in other dialects of central Polynesia, is here pronounced Havai'i. In New Zealand, where w is used instead of v, the ancient home is Hawaiki. In the Cook Islands, where h is dropped, it is 'Avaiki. In the Hawaiian islands, where w is used and k is dropped, the largest island of the group is named Hawai'i. In Samoa, where s | IN | IN DT | 576,088 |

better than no gun at all, but a rifle purchased specifically for protection should be powerful enough to decisively put down any aggressive predator that might be encountered. The generally recognized starting point in terms of cartridge power for use on the world's dangerous predators is the .30-06 shooting a 180 grain bullet. (A 200 or 220 grain bullet is an even better option in .30-06.) For use at close range (normally 50 yards or less) we can also include the .338 Federal (200-225 grain bullets), .358 Winchester (220-250 grain bullets) and .444 Marlin (265-300 grain bullets). These and similar cartridges will be our minimum acceptable calibers. They are particularly applicable to rifles intended primarily for use against the smaller dangerous predators that average less than 350 pounds in live weight. This includes animals such as the wolf, hyena, cougar, leopard, jaguar and black bear. In a 24" or longer barrel the various 7mm, .300, and 8mm Magnums outperform our benchmark .30-06, but their performance is greatly attenuated in a short barreled rifle, while their recoil in a lightweight rifle and the muzzle blast from a short barrel becomes very unpleasant. The standard small bore magnums should probably be eliminated from consideration. Ditto the WSM and Remington SAUM series of short magnums. Their rebated rims, fat bodies, sharp shoulders and other design features are contra indicated for use on dangerous animals. Better choices for use against the largest dangerous predators such as bull alligators and crocodiles (ashore), lions and tigers, | IN | IN IB | 496,474 |

Products Yourself Make a statement of value early in any meeting with prospective customers. Be transparent from the beginning of your interactions. In the end, your focus is making money for yourself. Just remember that you're not the only one doing this. What is in it for the other guy? Is there a way that your products or services will better their lives? Let them know this early and that they recognize this. Try to use the products. You can choose to be a mediocre uninformed marketer, or you can choose to be an expert marketer with firsthand experience in the products you're selling. Once people realize you are happily using the products yourself , you won't have to market them so much; customers will come to you asking about the products. You should also use the products yourself to see if they have potential and to become more knowledgeable. Participating in online forums is the best way to start building your network marketing. These forums can provide valuable tips and information on network marketing, and as a bonus, they are free.

Your speculation that a slightly warmer world (or average) with a slightly lower relative humidity (or average) would have significantly different rainfall patterns locally than those local rainfall patterns in today's world, and that this would be moving from a current desirable state to a less desirable state in the future, is pure conjecture, for which you have not provided any empirical supporting data.

Standards Board is controlled by members from big business who do not necessarily hold the consumers best interests at heart. Keep in mind this is the board that wields considerable power over the organic industry -- choosing whether an ingredient can be included in certified organic products or not. The board is supposed to represent the "diversity of the American public and of organic agriculture," according to the National Organic Program. Unfortunately, this is far from the case. The standards board is filled with members who strive to represent their specific interest groups and vote with bias. Consider Katrina Heinze, an executive at General Mills who was selected to serve as consumer representative in 2005. General Mills is famous for promoting nanotechnology and genetic engineering -- not exactly a stunning organic model. Or take Ms. Beck, who is the national organic program manager at Driscoll's and has a board seat as a 'farmer.' The problem is, Beck is not a farmer. But she does have special interests. Evidently, this is all that is needed to gain board influence. With the failure of Prop. 37, American consumers cannot rely on the government for food transparency or safety. It is up to us. By purchasing produce from local organic farms, supporting independent organic companies and boycotting 'Big Organic,' we can make a difference by casting votes with our dollars and our forks. | IN | IN | 3,183,529 |

It's none of his damned business, but I will answer his personal question anyway, just to underline what a contemptible fool he is. My main charitable contribution last year was $1500 to my local Shakespeare Theater to be show sponsor of Marlowe's Tamburlaine the Great . As far as I can tell, all the other show sponsors and season sponsors were doctors, lawyers, and businessmen. I was a high school teacher, so it was probably a higher percentage of my take-home pay than any of them gave. I also promised to sponsor Tamburlaine, Part II if they ever put it on. That's the one where the title character burns a Koran on stage. Did I mention that Marlowe was a gay atheist? Ritmo's imputation that I either don't give to charity, or give only to "powerful sectarian organization[s]" is yet another of his disgusting falsehoods, of a piece with his stupid sneer at religion.

the midst of our sorrow or pain, it becomes beautiful. Perhaps not while we're deep in the midst of sorrow, but in its time. When that season is over and another starts.

Moreover, it ironically strengthens the hand of gps in precisely the way that will preclude more pressing changes needed in the UK, notably bridging the gap between health and social care and dealing more effectively in the long run with chronic disease, dementia and mental illness, obesity and inactivity and supporting the frail elderly and their families. A great story but it's always dangerous to extrapolate what works in one area and impose it on everywhere.

Ten tips to save your life (or at least prolong it) If you could do just one thing to improve your health, what should it be? That's the question we asked 10 medical experts. From taking up a new hobby to cleaning your house with vinegar, they came up with some surprising suggestions. . . These days even the most diligent health enthusiasts must surely be struggling to keep up with the latest cure-all advice. Recently, for instance, we have been told to consume daily portions of Brazilian acai berries to avoid cancer, to eat salmon six times a week in order to stay wrinkle-free for ever and to consume celebrity- endorsed supermuesli at 12 a kilo to fight cancer and heart disease. Few of these fads have been subjected to rigorous scientific tests, so who knows whether they work?

this point my brain nearly overloaded with ideas and I have to admit I've played with coding a badging system but scrapped it I anger 2 weeks ago. This was after implementing a Drupal system and then other PHP based interfaces. I some ways I felt I'd set myself up for a fall with a number of people not just expressing interest in #digitalbadges but wanting to see a prototype after I promised some form of a system by may half term. On reflection this was unachievable but in terms of the principles of the #digitalbadges system we are in a more advanced stage items of methodology and objectives than we have ever been, rather fortunately I stumbled over a blog post by Erin knight titled The 3Ts of badge systems . This encapsulated a lot of my thinking and made things a whole lot clearer and focused. Whilst blogging about the development of the #digitalbadges system I felt better about my own experience when reading that someone else had found it tough. Rather than dive straight into a badging system like I had done I had to reevaluate and reclassify a number of different areas. There are lots of things to consider and I got myself caught up with a lot of questions similar to what Erin describes as what badges? .

embassy if it is considered to be misusing its premises. This came about after the 1984 Libyan shooting. If the government considers that protecting Assange from arrest is a misuse of their embassy premises, they can remove inviolability status and argue that they can enter and arrest Assange. That's how they will justify their actions. I actually view the possibility that the suggested action by the UK is being considered as at the least unwise and at the worst dangerous. As for legality, I leave that to lawyers. However, am I the only person to question the contradiction here? Assange is accused of crimes of a sexual nature in a sovereign country. He and his supporters have bleated about his other activities (which are of questionable probity in my opinion) and a different sovereign country appears to have offered him asylum as a result. In his header the author claims that he is a Human Rights Activist. The tone of this article suggests that he is a supporter of Assange whose human rights, on any evidence I have seen, do not appear to be under immediate threat. However, his accusers' rights are, if things go the way that Assange and his flock wish, to be denied. On another tack. I would like to see proof that any pressure has been brought by the US administration on the British government. Likewise I would like to see the proof that the Swedish Administration would extradite Assange to the USA. Why hasn't the | IP | IP | 3,710,197 |

Mark Twain is said to have remarked that a gold rush is a good time to be in the pick and shovel business. Investors may be able to apply that same bit of wisdom to the growing number of U.S. states that have legalized pot. Although federal law prohibits the sale or possession of marijuana, Massachusetts last week joined the ranks of states -- 18 plus Washington, D.C. -- that allow its use for people suffering from chronic illnesses like cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. In Washington and Colorado, meanwhile, voters passed an initiative to allow pot for recreational use. How to invest in legalized Marijuana Several states made recreational use of marijuana last week, and there are several small-cap stocks that stand to gain from the drugs growing acceptance. Photo: AP. Those changes have kickstarted a small but fast-growing medical-marijuana industry, estimated to be worth about $1.7 billion as of 2011, according to See Change Strategy, an independent financial-analysis firm that specializes in new markets. In Colorado alone, sales topped $181 million in 2010, and the business employed 4,200 state-licensed workers, says Aaron Smith, executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association , a nonprofit trade group that campaigns for marijuana's federal legalization. In addition to profiting itself from growing and selling marijuana, the industry benefits a slew of other businesses, such as insurers, lawyers and agricultural-equipment firms, experts say.

Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, England. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. He attended Westminster School, London and later Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he was a keen sportsman. Henty once related in an interview how his storytelling skills grew out of tales told after dinner to his children. He wrote his first children's book, Out on the Pampas in 1868, naming the book's main characters after his children. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non-fiction such as The March to Magdala (1868) and Those Other Animals (1891), short stories for the likes of The Boy's Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boys magazine. His works include: The Young Buglers (1880), With Clive in India (1884) and Wulf the Saxon (1895). (less) Community Reviews I enjoyed this work of Henty very much.

Nothing is more needful to true godliness than a contrite heart, broken off from every self-confidence. In this soil every grace will flourish, and nothing can encourage such a one but the free, rich grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The righteous are taken under the special protection of the Lord, yet they have their share of crosses in this world, and there are those that hate them. Both from the mercy of Heaven, and the malice of hell, the afflictions of the righteous must be many. But whatever troubles befal them, shall not hurt their souls, for God keeps them from sinning in troubles. No man is desolate, but he whom God has forsaken. Psalms 34:1-22 .

therefore referred the matter to the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman who stated that the complaint was outside his remit. The matter was then referred to the Parliamentary Health Ombudsman (PHO). The PHO eventually agreed to investigate the claim and earlier this year upheld most of the complaint. The PHO?s report confirmed that there were serious failings in the way that our client?s case was handled that were unacceptable. The report illustrates that our client suffered not only from unnecessary delay resulting in up to at least 4 months of time in prison when he might have otherwise have been in hospital receiving much needed care, but also from delays in the handling of the complaint which meant that his concerns were not addressed for a very long time and were simply passed from pillar to post. In addition, almost five years on, our client has finally been given a full apology and a modest award of compensation by the local Foundation Trust. Social welfare help for young people Many children in prison are children in need. But they have often ?fallen through the net? and not received help and support from social services. Children often contact us where they have been unable to get social services to help them, especially where they need safe accommodation on release from prison.

concession speech he had not planned on, and said he would pray for Obama and called on party officials to work with their rival Democrats for the good of the nation. For the Republicans, battered and bowed by defeat, there will be the inevitable soul-searching and recriminations: Texas Senator John Cornyn warning of a "period of reflection and recalibration", adding "While some will want to blame one wing of the party over the other, the reality is candidates from all corners of our GOP lost last night." Republican soul searching For some on the right, the blame will be laid firmly at Mitt Romney 's feet. Most in the party never warmed to him: he appeared too unlikeable, too politically malleable, too moderate, too prone to awkward gaffes. The Romney who came alive in the final weeks of the campaign came alive too late. House Speaker John Boehner, at a Republican election night party in Washington, also seemed in no mood for compromise, telling the crowd that "there's no mandate for raising taxes". But look at the result another way, and outspoken conservatives also lost badly. Todd Akin in Missouri, fell victim to his controversial remarks about rape: so too did Richard Mourdock, who lost his Senate bid in Indiana after saying if a woman got pregnant after rape, it was God's plan.

Safer travel all the way with East Coast It's safety first at train operator East Coast's 12 managed stations -- every one has just been reaccredited with Secure Stations status for a further two years. The Secure Stations scheme, which is run jointly by the Department for Transport and the British Transport Police (BTP), encourages rail firms to improve security at their managed stations and demonstrate measures to reduce crime. The national scheme covers all rail and underground networks which are patrolled by the British Transport Police. To achieve Secure Stations status, the operator must demonstrate robust controls that provide enhanced training, recruitment and risk assessment. There must be evidence of working closely with the BTP to combat crime as well as engaging with stakeholders to improve the station environment for all who use it. East Coast Stations and Property Director Tim Hedley-Jones said: "We're delighted that all 12 East Coast managed stations have been reaccredited with Secure Stations status. "Train travel is already one of the safest ways to get around. Continued Secure Stations status means extra peace of mind for our passengers and staff. "The renewal of secure status at all our managed stations underlines our commitment to maintain a safe and secure environment for passengers as they travel."

I'm so busy, I seldom read novels and I prefer short stories. I can open this book to any interesting topic from "Ask! Ask! Ask!" to " Transform your inner critic into an inner coach" and in no time I have new revelations. By the way, even on the subject of asking which I thought I knew something about, the contents brought a smile to my face because I know the 5 tips described there could get me powerful results. All the chapters seem well thought out, but this one might have an especially strong punch because it says that Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen wrote a whole book just on the science of asking. This includes anything from a favor to a raise, or even a large contract. The fifth tip by the way is "Ask repeatedly." Even though 5 year-old's know this, as adults we are conditioned to forget to ask again, or we take a no as a personal rejection, or we just give up.

Vaughan @ 1:56 pm : January 3, 2011 Theresa @ 10:08 am : Qwest...that is EXACTLY what you should do, as long as you have the equity in your home to do it...My husband and I did exactly that about a year and half ago and are thrilled with how the HELOC works. With our conventional mortgage, in a 12 month period, we had only reduced our principal by $4800. After hearing about this process with the HELOC, we transferred our entire mortgage over to the HELOC...within 12 months, we had taken $22000 off of our prinicpal...we have a 10 year HELOC that will be paid off in 4 years. No disrespect Peter...but this works and works really well, if you do it right. If you are a spender...don't do it.. too much money is available to you as the HELOC gets paid down. In essence, your house becomes your savings account. The banks that tell you it won't work are the ones that either don't understand it or don't want to lose the interest they can make off of us. We are VERY happy with how this worked so beautifully...our goal is to pay this down and sell...even in a terrible market, we can now take a "loss" on our home and still walk away with money in our pocket for a nicer house in the near future and do this all over again....

to understand and articulate why they are "required." Because someone must get value out of them, right? My Previous Reason "Why" Early in my career as a Project Manager, I thought the value of project management lay in the inherent effectiveness and efficiencies gained by managing work efforts as projects. From my perspective, the discipline of project management was the keys to the efficiency kingdom. For many years, I understood the "why" of Project Management to be simply "because" the outcomes are much greater and more efficient when managed via teams than by summing up individual efforts. Other tangible examples include: Gantt charts are effective ways of visualizing work efforts and resource conflicts; Risk and issue logs are efficient ways of articulating what might or what is currently knocking the project off course; Communication plans set expectations for communicating. And so this version of my "why Project Management" worked for a while. However, as I worked on bigger projects, I discovered that even in "successful" projects (with success measured as on-time and on-budget), the end product sometimes failed to meet the expectations, the stakeholders were dissatisfied, and the investment of dollars ultimately did not generate the expected return. Since those experiences didn't quite feel like a success, I began to question the foundation of my old "why" theory. My New Reason "Why" Even though projects that are delivered on-time and on-budget may make a PM's bonus bigger, that act of delivering the product of a project does not necessarily generate | HI | HI | 463,970 |
independence off their own bat and insisted on doing all the work for any port themselves (paid for by the customer) rather than using the customer's expertise. Who they thought was going to act against their own interests and blindly backroll development for their competitors, I don't know. ROL has lost their way. I would very much like to see them get back on track, but they have to do something drastic or radical, such as OSSing what they have, or something even more serious. Agreed. The three options in the article are, IMO, equally unthinkable - RISC OS is obviously unsustainable as a commercial closed-source venture, but it would be a real shame to lose all the improvements RO6 has over RO5. Of course, there are three more options: (1) RISC OS Ltd open-sources their branch of the OS and hands development over to ROOL to attempt to merge the two branches. Indubitably the best option, and the least likely to happen. (2) ROL finally goes into administration, taking users' cash with it. The commercial source is lost, or forever locked away over endless arguments over copyright. Probably the eventual outcome, certainly while the two camps lock horns and refuse to budge. (3) As above, but the developers (all, what, three of them?) take matters into their own hands and merge the principal changes into the ROOL branch. This may be unnecessarily hopeful.

We really want to embrace that huge community of gamers out there." I wish people would stop calling Wii-U an next-gen machine. Please. Stop it. A generation is not a throwaway term used to describe whatever someone brings out next, it is specifically used to describe geometric increases in processing power. Wii-U is an Xbox 360 in a different box with a gimmicky controller. That's it. @7 "Compared to it's predecessor, it shure is a, as you described it, geometric increase in processing power. And thats all that counts to call it the next generation Nintendo hardware." I'm not talking about whether it's a new generation of Nintendo hardware, it is. But it is not a next-gen console, it's a new console and there is a difference. 'Next gen' refers to eighth generation. PS3 and Xbox 360 are seventh generation consoles, as is the Wii-U -- it is an extreme latecomer to the seventh generation. If great games appear on Wii U I doubt many will give a shit about power apart from the "my game system is more powerful than yours" crowd which consists of kids and very insecure and mentally challenged adults I think he has some point, because it will be easy to traslate 360 games to the WiiU due the current tech on the WiiU, and for hands on from various devs, they say is very easy to develop for, so they have something in common, the same will be with the next xbox for that | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 124,020 |
225 that NIST interviewed. NO utility shafts directly connected the strike zone with this level. That shaft contained Car 50, and Car 50 held two occupants that survived and did not describe a destructive fireball after the plane impact. I have found NO explanation in any part of the NCSTAR 1 report -- diagrammatic, computer simulated, schematic -- that hypothesizes how this could have happened. The occupants of Car 50 were injured after the car fell several floors, were rescued, and lay in the vicinity of that shaft for up to 40 minutes before being evacuated. Neither they, nor their rescuers reported a destructive fireball. With the car stuck in the shaft around subbasement level 2 or 3, a fireball descending the shaft could not have reached sublevels 4, 5, or 6 where extensive damage has been reported by several eyewitnesses.

then put me in mind of other occasions throughout this year in a similar vein. The estate agent who didn't listen to a word we said and launched the wrong marketing campaign. The builder needing repeatedly chasing up for quotes, whilst complaining that things were a bit quiet out there. The car dealership who failed to respond to a request for a test drive. So whilst we in recruitment seem to have to bear the burden of attracting the most vociferous criticism about poor communication, we are by no means alone in this regard. But what we must also realise is that we are not dealing with products like car parking spaces or vehicles. We are dealing with people. More than that, we are dealing with people in a fragile state of mind, in job seeking mode, in a society where your job is so intrinsically tied into status, lifestyle and security that it makes recruitment the most emotionally charged transaction possible. What all of this comes down to is care. Recruiters who genuinely care about what they do, who believe that they can make positive differences to some people's lives, and can fuel the growth of businesses through access to talent, will always communicate openly, honestly and to the best of their ability. Those that don't really care, won't. Exactly the same applies to management of Britomart Car Park.

the hands of the demon spirits (which many scholars agree is the meaning of "rulers of this age" in 1 Corinthians 2:8). The Epistle to the Hebrews locates Christ's sacrifice in a heavenly sanctuary (ch. 8, 9). The Ascension of Isaiah, a composite Jewish-Christian work of the late first century, describes (9:13-15) Christ's crucifixion by Satan and his demons in the firmament (the heavenly sphere between earth and moon). Knowledge of these events was derived from visionary experiences and from scripture, which was seen as a 'window' onto the higher spiritual world of God and his workings." (See "Part Two" and Supplementary Articles Nos. 3 and 9) 2) The Charge Refuted As we have seen, Paul most certainly did place the Crucifixion in history, even tying it to historical witnesses Peter and James, and the Resurrection. But moreover the Pauline Verses (and Hebrews) Used to place the Crucifixion in this ethereal realm of The Gnostic Redeemer myth are totally misconstrued. Of course these other souces he he uses, the Ascension of Isaiah for example, has nothing to do with Pauline letters and was produced late in the first century. He can't tie that to Pauline thought at all. a. Crucifixion in Space? 1 Cor. 2:8 This is a very deceptive statement Doherty makes above, for while many scholars do believe that the phrase "rulers of the age" could refer to demon powers, very few of them actually believe that Paul places the crucifixion in some ethereal Plaroma or nether world. | OP | OP RS | 478,346 |

House which had too marked a permanent predominance. Well, just think of that for a moment. There has been only one political opinion in the House of Lords which has had any predominance for years, and that has been Tory opinion. That is why this power of the House of Lords, this test of the two years, has never arisen before. There has been no need to test the power, because there has been either a Tory Government with a Tory majority, or there has been a Coalition with a Tory majority. Therefore, the House of Lords did exactly what it wanted. Here we have a position where, if there is a Tory Opposition in minority, and there is a Labour Government with a majority, the Tories win in the end because they have the final majority in the House of Lords. Can they really expect the Front Bench even with the names that they have been called today, to be such noodles as to leave that position? That is the real point here. If I may sum up, the simple issue is that at the General Election we made it perfectly clear that we were not going to put up with any obstruction from the House of Lords.

private companies could also use too.

Jon Gertner : I think there are. I think on a big macroscopic level, the view from 30,000 feet, is the lesson...the countries that invest in basic scientific research, that it can pay off in ways you can hardly imagine, but not just in new companies but new industries and millions of jobs. And really these investments at Bell Labs that paid off -- the transistor and the laser, cellular telephone networks, those kinds of things that really have become the infrastructure for a lot of our economy -- were really coming out of scientific investment that didn't pay off quickly. On a more personal level, I think that giving sometimes researchers a kind of freedom to follow their own curiosity can also pay off in very important ways as well. And also by pairing them in some ways with real-world problems is probably the third thing.

I'm always wary of remakes and True Grit is a case in point. It's just an entertaining, two dimensional western. The actors are strong but fail to make their characters sufficiently complex.

Jeff was quite OK but with too many gravelly wiseacres. jak Jones : 12 Feb 2011 12:00:02pm ((True Grit))[[10]] Its the story that makes it and the actors that bring it too life then the cohens third. Awesome movie. Margaret. IMHO Its only in the last decade or so that films are being made how they should be due to technolodgy. I cannot watch the old films due to the unrealism of special effects andd social constraints that affect interpretation and the often poor customes e.g. clean cowboys. watch the old version!!! forget it. John Wayne, Sinatra and the like = bad memories Stephen Saunders : 12 Feb 2011 11:12:01am ((True Grit))[[6]] There seems to be an unwritten code that the ordinary Coen movies have to be praised as much as the good ones. This is quite an ordinary Coen movie, craftsmanlike and mostly enjoyable, but rather losing its way by the third reel. I couldn't see that Hailee Steinfeld was such a great 'find', although she was not always assisted by the wordy dialogue that the Coens served up to her. Aunt Peg | SP | SP IT | 314,872 |

Today we had an issue whereby he would not bring my son home after a weekend visit and i had to call the police who advised me to take a shaparone with me to collect my son. My ex has done this before and does not see why he should collect/drop off my son although it is him that wants the access. I spoke to my solicitor today who said that as there is no court order in place I do not have to give him contact however I am concerned my son will suffer and blame me. Is there anything I can do so that my ex adheres to my wishes regarding his access? A. Hi Perhaps try mediation services to discuss reducing the contact and agree details of collection and return. Your solicitor could write to him making proposals and invite comment from him. If all of that fails, you may apply to the court for a defined contact order that will specify exact times of contact and who is to collect and return him. As for reducing the contact, perhaps try given more reasons for your proposal. Is the midweek contact disruptive and if so, how? Does your 7 yr old enjoy the contact?

is at a Scotland Yard, waiting for a briefing on the riots and looting to begin. If there was any sign that a peaceful protest would escalate, it wasn't to be found on Facebook. Twitter was slightly more indicative: tweets about an attempt to target Sunday's Hackney Carnival were spotted by police and the event was abruptly cancelled. However, the most powerful and up-to-the-minute rallying appears to have taken place on a more covert social network: BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). Using BlackBerry handsets -- the smartphone of choice for the majority (37%) of British teens, according to last week's Ofcom study -- BBM allows users to send one-to-many messages to their network of contacts, who are connected by "BBM PINs". And unlike Twitter or Facebook, many BBM messages are untraceable by the authorities (which is why, in large part, BBM is so favoured by Emirati teens to spread illicit gossip about officialdom). 1.15pm: Meanwhile, the IPPC has responded to suggestions that it hasn't had enough contact with Mark Duggan's family since he was killed on Thursday.

saboteurs last May, 1 month before South Korea was invaded. The report shows in great detail how this invasion was part of a carefully prepared plot. Here, in part, is what the Communist officer, who had been trained in Moscow, told his men: "Our forces," he said, "are scheduled to attack South Korean forces about the middle of June .... The coming attack on South Korea marks the first step toward the liberation of Asia." Notice that he used the word "liberation." This is Communist double-talk meaning "conquest." I have another secret intelligence report here. This one tells what another Communist officer in the Far East told his men several months before the invasion of Korea. Here is what he said: "In order to successfully undertake the long-awaited world revolution, we must first unify Asia .... lava, Indochina, Malaya, India, Tibet, Thailand, Philippines, and Japan are our ultimate targets .... The United States is the only obstacle on our road for the liberation of all the countries in southeast Asia. In other words, we must unify the people of Asia and crush the United States." Again, "liberation" in "commie" language means conquest. That is what the Communist leaders are telling their people, and that is what they have been trying to do. They want to control all Asia from the Kremlin. This plan of conquest is in flat contradiction to what we believe.

[Arranged alphabetically by author(s). Abstract titles linked to full papers when available.] When Art Creation Is Ephemeral: Digital Migrations of Contemporary Time-Based Media and Obsolete Space-Based Media , Lanfranco Aceti Ephemerality characterizes a great part of the preservation effort in the field of contemporary digital media. The issues of ephemerality, deterioration and disappearance affect relatively recent artworks, less than 10 years old, that have been based on digital media formats suddenly obsolete, costly to preserve or simply no longer reproducible. This paper analyzes the opportunities and challenges that these conflicting parameters -- ephemerality vs. durability and time vs. space -- offer in the analysis of the history of media as well as their influence on contemporary artistic and curatorial aesthetic strategies. What the Buzz?: Blogging and Distribution and the Experiential Products in the Age of Social Networking , Tim J. Anderson The internet has changed the music industry and the shift has influenced every aspect of distribution. This includes those practices concerning the mediation of promotional materials such as advertisements and review copies, and generation of publicity, i.e. "buzz". By analyzing blogs with the focus on independent music that express interdependent sets of relationships via blogroll listings, links and acts such as cross-posting, the paper will explain how these media entities operate as social assemblages by drawing from the assemblage theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Manuel DeLanda, and more traditional network theory.

I hope we shall not and if what the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington said is true, namely, that the Lords have grown up in these days, we shall never use them. If, on the other hand, we have something more of the temper of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Woodford, then it will be very useful that their powers should be restricted. Whatever may be the case for a reform of the House of Lords, we did not suggest a reform of the House of Lords when we went to the electors. What we did say was that we should take powers to prevent obstruction. That is exactly what we have done. [HON. MEMBERS: "Tolerate."] Exactly. When we do not tolerate things, we take action to see that they do not happen. Hon. Members opposite have accused us of embarking on partisanship.

Thank you - yes we're all very pleased with it and I'm delighted that the fans feel the same way. I set out to capture the heart and spirit of Bexhill and hopefully the video has done that. Q. What was your original concept for the video? A. The band wanted to shoot a video that featured the Sovereign Light Caf - so Bexhill was always our destination.

it is "within" the "discipline" of animation studies and around the "nutty" figure of the animatic that such thinkers of the universe, such nutty professors, and such faculties might find points of contact, points rich in import and implication. So, for us, as my Introduction to THE ILLUSION OF LIFE proposes, animation engages processes, disciplines, knowledges, discourses, and institutions across the spectrum, across all the faculties, across arts, the humanities, the social and the natural sciences, including philosophy, from the Pre-Socratics on. And I would add: animation studies needs to engage with all of them, for all of them for me "engage with" animation. II.

shape. David Ferstat : 15 May 2012 6:31:13pm "Also, I cringe when people, homosexual or otherwise, call themselves "queer"? I thought homosexual and lesbians were calling for respect and understanding, queer is a self put-down, so how about a bit more respect for yourself?" One of the perversities of life and language is that the emotional connotations of a word can depend very much upon who's using it. For example, historically the terms "bent" and "queer" have been used as insults. However, many in the LGBT community have been quite happy to use the term themselves. Another example is "nigger". For centuries this has been a deregatory term for those we now call African Americans. It is still so emotionally-loaded that its use is almost always received with shock and disgust. However, again, many African Americans are happy to use it. Is this a double standard? I suspect so, but it's only one of many in the world. I recommend to you "Stephen Fry's Planet Word", which had an episode devoted to the "mis-use" of words. sarah dee : 15 May 2012 6:31:36pm While the term "queer" is used as an insult towards LGBT persons, the word by definition has always referred to people who identify with a sexual orientation other than heterosexuality. In my experience the terms 'gay' and 'lesbian' are also used as insults by ignorant and hurtful people. Perhaps individuals who identify with these terms should stop referring to themselves as gay or lesbian as well? Timsims | IN | IN DT | 72,512 |

Despite such promotional efforts, Jones said that Australia still has a way to go before the Australian International Dispute Centre (AIDC), which opened in Sydney in 2010, can challenge established regional international arbitral seats in Singapore and Hong Kong. "Our goals are still aspirational," he says. "Our objective is to have the AIDC considered as an option when people are considering neutral seats for international arbitration in the region. "It is enough for us at the moment for people to be saying 'well, there is Singapore, there is Hong Kong and there is Australia. That is what I have been trying to pitch in the roadshows I have been doing globally." In June, Jones led an ACICA delegation that visited China. He says that China's emergence as the world's foremost economic power and its interest in Australia's energy and resources sector makes it a logical destination to target. "Australia is uniquely placed to provide a neutral venue because the other two centres in Asia, Hong Kong and Singapore, are often viewed by counterparts to Chinese companies from other parts of the world as too closely connected with China." One of the strange international couplings arising out of the Cold War, and in the post-Soviet Union geo-political and legal environment, was that Stockholm became an important destination for hearing commercial disputes involving Chinese and foreign parties, with the Chinese viewing the Swedish capital as an acceptable western forum in which to hear arbitration.

Gus Johnston: The reality of homophobia in sport GUS JOHNSTON was a champion hockey goalkeeper. A gutsy player who regularly put his body on the line for his team, Johnston represented Victoria for 12 years. While his striking red hair and natural ability made him a big identity in his sport, he was little known outside hockey circles. Until last month, that is, when he posted an emotional video on YouTube in which he outed himself as gay. In the 12-minute film, which he called The Reality of Homophobia in Sport , Johnston looks the viewer in the eye as he says: ''I'm a writer, art director, filmmaker and a hockey goalkeeper. I'm also a gay man - and that's something I never thought I would say in such a public forum ... ''I regret immensely that I wasn't strong enough as a leader, that I didn't step up when I was playing and share this about myself,'' he says, explaining that he has done so 10 months after retiring to let young gay athletes know they are not alone and to alert the broader sporting community that gossip and ''jokes'' peddled in locker rooms are homophobic and hurtful. Setting the record straight ... hockey player Gus Johnston came out on YouTube last month.

End of Empire in Britain." Kenya occupied and terrorized by the British for over 70years where the indigenous Kukuyu were slaughtered by the tens of thousands, and placed in concentration camps by the hundreds of thousands. Actual slavery existed while endorsed and perpetrated by the British Government. This was in the 1950s (I remind you Princess Elizabeth effectively became Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 while on tour of Kenya).

What inspired you to write about Eminem and The Detroit Rap Scene? IE: I discovered Eminem back in 2001 thanks to my son Marcus. At first, I was a little bit suspicious about this white dude rapping. I am always suspicious at first, even as a white person, when I see a white artist in a traditionally black musical genre. This has nothing to do with racism, it is just that there are loads of wannabes. So I first thought to myself "Oh not another white guy mimicking black people!", but then I discovered his work, listened to his interviews and found him amazing and full of talent. I have been so enthusiastic that I really wanted to write about this artist in particular. Getting to know the whole D12 crew encouraged me to dig deeper into the Detroit hip hop scene.

When He Was on the Cross Lyrics When He Was on the Cross Lyrics I'm not on an ego trip, I'm nothing on my own I make mistakes and sometimes slip Just common flesh and bone But I'll prove some day just why I say I'm of a special kind For when He was on the cross I was on His mind A look of love was on His face The thorns were in His head The blood was on that scarlet robe And stained it crimson red Though His eyes were on the crowd that day He looked ahead in time For when He was on the cross I was on His mind He knew me, yet He loved me He whose glory makes the Heaven's shine So unworthy, of such mercy For when He was on the cross I was on His mind For when He was on the cross I was on His mind | LY | LY SL | 293,706 |
of enthusiasm with the ultra-pop spirit of everything from Spector and the Shangri Las to the Seeds and Standells to T Rex and The Sweet. And if you will excuse me coming over all Nick Hornby-ish it has one of the top 10 intros ever (with the Mekons' 'Where Were You?' still up there at the top!) and one of the top 10 guitar breaks ever (with the Buzzcocks' 'Boredom' still out in front). And there was something about those Northern Ireland punk blasts of garageland noise before the bubble burst. I dunno, perhaps it was a certain innocence due to being so far removed from the industry machine, but the rawness still works. Forget the tired 'Teenage Kicks', you need to check out the Outcasts' 'Self Conscious Over You' and Protex's 'Don't Ring Me Up'. Wasn't there a film made of that scene called Shellshock Rock ? Has anyone got a video of it they could copy for me? Anyway in time honoured Rudi did their best to be in the wrong place at the wrong time to avoid making the big time. I suppose it is only fair to mention that they did go on to record a few more classic pop moments. One being the I-Spy EP for Good Vibrations, which is four glorious explosions of melodic magic.

We also ran into a lot of technical challenges with some of the more outlandish costume pieces from LBP. Getting those to behave with all the different karts was a lot of work. Some of the headgear had long soft body flowing bits that would penetrate with the back of the kart, so we had to do a lot of trickery to minimize that. One of LBP's key features is user customization. Why do you think people find the idea of being able to create their own experiences so appealing? LittleBigPlanet is a wonderful vehicle for creativity. For the millions of creators out there, I think it's about making something that didn't exist before, something that can be cool in exactly the way they want it to be, not coming from someone who is trying to appeal to a mass audience. They can put something together just to make themselves smile. There's a charge that comes from looking at a thing that you've created, a real sense of achievement, and then to upload it for the world to see and enjoy that feeling can be addictive. | SP | SP IT | 3,094,842 |
or out standing in his field! If this is a portrait, I like it as is, but if I were to use it as stock, I would like the subject made more obscure and see more field. This would help the "outstanding in his field" concept be stronger. As is, the mountains and strong sky compete with the field. A previous commenter said the person should be facing inward to the middle of the photo. When I choose stock images I look for that, because when I place text on top of the photo, I try to position the person so they "look into" the text. However, the positioning of this person doesn't bother me in this image. The lighing does look too contrived. The forground lighting is not consistent with the background. I can pinpoint why I feel that way. the other thing that bothers me is the cropping of the gentleman. I keeping wanting to see a little more of his legs. it is akin to what I learned about cropping portraits....don't crop at the joints. I only see waist up. It would have been better to have the forground foliage only come up to halfway up is thigh. Otherwise, I think it is a very dramatic pose communicating strength and assurance and professionalism. It looks like there are plenty of places to use this image.

Would someone watching your life and mine be convinced of the reality of eternal life? I also like Barclay's definition of the kingdom I think it hits at what the kingdom is all about which is doing the will of God and glorifying Jesus. And how else can we bring the kingdom to people or bring people into the kingdom if we don't take the kingdom message which is the Good News as Jesus said, Repent and believe the Gospel. # 29 October 2012 at 8:01 pm julian Batchelor says: Thanks for your excellent comment Len...bless you my friend... # 29 October 2012 at 8:12 pm Bruce McIntyre says: It is hard to see how the Kingdom of God can be called down when it is allready here.

over the semester or year. One of the limitations of the IOLIS courseware at present is that it is essentially a solitary exercise, although students can be encouraged to go through the questions in groups of two or three. A further interesting teaching method, which could be combined with courseware, is the `virtual tutorial'. This involves e-mail or electronic conferencing communication between tutors and students, and possibly among students themselves. A recent experiment at the University of Durham in the UK had students discuss by e-mail over one week a hypothetical contract law dispute in moot format: arguing first for one party, then the other, and finally giving judgment (Widdison & Pritchard, 1997). Students found the interaction to be helpful in developing their understanding of the subject matter and so on. However the process took somewhat longer than expected; discussion did not really get to the final stage. Also, a significant proportion of students apparently would have preferred to `get it over and done with' - perceiving the process as involving more work for them. This could be an acute problem in Japan, where students tend to place even less priority on actual learning and the preparation this entails, although this holds less in the top tier law schools. On the other hand, particularly in Japan when students can feel shy about voicing opinions to the instructor or to other students, it may significantly enrich interaction (see also Widdison, 1995b).

How would you describe your style? My personal style is generally a clash of tailoring and edginess. I like to wear at least one statement piece a day if I can -- a Joanne Hynes Collar, a Galibardy knuckleduster, a hint of neon, a little bit of (fake) fur. I wear shorts a lot, because they're handy for cycling and I absolutely love a bit of hot pink. However, I can also be very, very lazy and slouch around in hoodies and checked shirts. Who are your fashion heroes? The Olsen twins are great for lazy drama, Kate Bosworth manages to hoover up all the high-end edgy stuff. At home here, I love Celestine Cooney for her urban-meets-catwalk look. Are there any particular trends we should be keeping our eyes open? I hear leather harnesses are going to be big for Spring next year which I'm totally up for -- a bit of pseudo-goth always ramps up the drama. Particularly if you clash the harness with some nice, floaty, chiffon. Which is your favourite item currently available at Barratts?

point at where we are wrong in our numbers. It is in the open and you can check each decision. In fact those few games when the ref made mistakes that went against United they dropped points. And maybe that is the best indication of them all that shows how important the refs can be. 5 Responses to How the Refs treated Man U last season wow just wow. i wonder if there is a connection between refs, fa, manutd and thats what rafa was on about years ago when he said about the exec tickets for fa at utd . always thought i was just biased lol great work , Think this is really interesting analysis, but has more value when you look at the 'bigger picture' -- for example when you show the average bias for United home and away games. When you look at specific ref bias, including refs who have only reffed one United game, even though there may be multiple decisions in a game, you're still effectively looking at a sample size of 1. Obviously easier said than done, but if you did the same ref analysis based on those who have reffed at least 5 (or preferably 10) United games over the years, you would probably see a different picture. Your weighting is an interesting concept, but what might also add context to how much weight the good and bad decisions have given what the score is at the time.

hits the cutting board or the flour starts flying. One of my favorite cookbooks is "The Four Seasons of Italian Cooking" by A.J. Battifarano (no other credits that I could find) and Alan Richardson (who unfortunately seems to be on a cupcake bender lately). It is organized by the seasons and by regions of Italy and focuses on farms and producers of regional specialties along with food stories and recipes. I got this book as a gift a dozen years ago and it taught me to think about where food comes from and when certain things are available. It really put Italian food in context so that I understood how dishes are built (based on local availability and seasonality) rather than just throwing together a typical list of Italian favorites. It made me realize that all food should be considered this way, not just Italian food. Lots of great photos too. Okay. Wait. I'm baffled. You mean to say, if a book doesn't earn as much as they advanced you, you owe the publisher the difference back? Oh. WOW. That's a good deterrent! Yikes. (Eyes naively popping out of head.) I know of at least a few well known authors who didn't earn back their advance (one of them was a good sized advance) and it has hurt their careers as cookbook writers.

How to Choose a Counselor or Therapist It's easy to find a counselor but perhaps more difficult to know if you've found one who is right for you. There are a number of questions you can ask that will help you to choose a counselor. This short article outlines 14 of these questions, in no particular order (please note, the words "therapist" and "counselor" are used interchangeably). Thanks to the GoodTherapy.org therapist members who contributed their ideas for this article! If there are other important questions to ask or things you'd like to add to this list, please post a comment below. 1. What does it feel like for you to sit with the therapist? Do you feel safe and comfortable? Is it easy to make small talk? Is the person down to earth and easy to relate to or does he or she feel cold and emotionally removed? Is the counselor "stuck in her head," or overly emotional and empathic? Is the therapist a "know it all" or arrogant? Sure, for many of us, going to a therapist for the first time is a bit anxiety provoking, and it's important to tease out our own "stuff" from the actual counselor. But, if a counselor doesn't feel like a good fit for you, that's okay; there's absolutely no contract or rule requiring you to continue working with any counselor. However, it's important to check to see if there's a part of you avoiding therapy through a dislike or judgment of | HI | HI HT | 424,014 |

$75 million to and it's not the same person." In the interests of Eclectica, Mr. Hendry says he put on hold his "one-man campaign" to convince a skeptical public that financial speculators play a beneficial role in a free-market economy. He adds that Paul Taylor, who joined Eclectica as chief executive in January 2011, "came in with provisions that he would accept the role if I cut back on the media thing and made it more professional." But Mr. Hendry has not fully retreated from public life. In May, he penned an article for the Financial Times in which he compared the state of the hedge fund industry to the "plight of the banana." "Today the world eats predominately just one type of banana, the Cavendish," he explained, "but it is being wiped out by a blight known as Tropical Race 4, which encourages the plant to kill itself." The month before, Mr. Hendry sent investors his first letter since the winter of 2010. In it, he predicts "financial anarchy" and explains how his investment approach differs from his peers. "I suspect that I am one of the few chief investment officers who does not maintain daily correspondence with investment bankers and their specialist hedge fund sales teams.
