The more I preach the more I am convinced that much of our preaching fails (even when we have a lot of responses) because our preaching is predominantly anthropocentric. It is most natural for man to want to know, “What good thing must I do to be saved?” The reason man is lost in the first place is because he is more concerned about what he wants than he is about what God wants. So when he discovers he is lost, if his question about how to be saved is answered solely or primarily in terms of his wants, needs, desires and actions, he may STAY basically anthropocentric.
Because of the Calvinistic emphasis on God’s sovereign grace and the fact that the followers of that theology taught that man could do nothing, our preaching has emphasized what man has to do to accept that grace. At least mine has and I shall continue to denounce the Calvinistic theory as contrary to God’s word, even though some connected with the Lord’s church are now teaching it, and teach that man must respond to God’s grace in God’s appointed way.
But even if man did not need to do anything, our preaching could still be man-centered if it dwelt primarily on man’s needs, wants, and desires. It would be well to START our teaching with the nature and purpose of God rather than with the wants and desires of man.
Most evangelists of the denominational type urge their hearers to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. (In my opinion that would not be too bad if there was a proper explanation of what those non-Biblical terms mean). Most of us who uphold the Lord’s Church in opposition to denominationalism would not put it quite that way. But we might put it this way: “If you want salvation; if you want remission of sins; if you want every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, you may have it all and more, freely in Christ.” Then we tell how the water is warm, the clothing is ready, the aisle is carpeted, the preacher is waiting with outstretched arms, and the angels in heaven are practically holding their breath waiting for him to act.
I am not trying to deny even that last part, but do you notice what is happening? The sinner has become the center of the stage! The attention is, from start to finish, on what he wants and gets. If the water is not warm, or the clothing is not ready, should he perhaps wait until all his needs are met or his wants satisfied?
There comes a time when the sinner should be told the blessings he has, and that the Father stands yearning for the Prodigal, and will indeed give him the ring, the robe and the calf. But before that, the foundation should have been laid in the nature and character of God.
To help you see whether your preaching has been anthropocentric or theocentric, ask yourself some questions about Acts 2:36-39. Have you assumed that the question of Acts2:37was primarily with reference to “What shall we do?” in view of gaining salvation, or “What shall we do?” in view of the fact that the Jesus we have crucified is both Lord and Christ? Of course it does not have to be an “either-or” situation.
But can you not see the difference in the reaction of one whose attitude is always predominantly Anthropocentric — what shall we do in order that we may get something — and one that is Theocentric — what shall we do in view of the fact that Jesus is Lord, and that we have offended a holy God? If a person obeys the gospel primarily in terms of what he can get, then his subsequent life will probably be based primarily upon selfish considerations instead of on what will glorify God.
Do you not see that the concept of accepting Jesus as Savior is one thing (relating primarily to what He gives — salvation) and accepting Him as Lord is another (relating to what He demands or requires because of His nature)? Of course the truth is that if one is truly converted in the Bible sense, he cannot accept Jesus as Savior without accepting Him as Lord. But I am not talking about what can actually be done from God’s standpoint. I am talking about our concept of it. There are many that would like to accept Jesus as Savior without accepting Him as Lord!
The primary purpose for the existence of the church is not the salvation of souls! Does that shock you? The primary purpose is to glorify God (Eph.3:10, 21). Of course this purpose is realized primarily in the salvation of souls, for there is no greater way to glorify God than to help save a soul. But the fact that the football team has to get to the one-yard line in order to get to the goal line does not mean that getting to the one-yard line is the primary purpose of the game.
To put it another way: If “getting saved” is the ultimate goal in life (an anthropocentric one), then when I think I am saved — whatever that involves — I will tend to stop or slow down. But if glorifying God is the ultimate goal (a Theocentric one), there is no stopping place.
Those of us who talk to persons about the church find some that say, “I lean that way.” How do you lean on this point? If it should be emphasized that Acts2:38teaches that a man should be baptized for (in order to get) remission of sins, (and it certainly should), should it not also be emphasized that he would be baptized BECAUSE Jesus is Lord, and commanded it for the remission of sins? Almost any time a “why” question is asked, there is a “because of” and there is an “order to.” We should be able to understand and properly emphasize both of them.

Today is my birthday. Happy birthday to me.
I thought about getting up early today to enjoy an extra hour or so of consciousness on this my birthday (I flew home from college on my b-day one year and so had a 26-hour day, not to mention nearly a week of festivities since I got to celebrate with so many people in different places). But in the end, I opted for extra time in bed cuddling with the puppies. I'm not sure that there are many better ways (for a person in my life situation) to start your day, than to have a velvety black lab nose and silky boston terrier ears to stroke while enjoying an extra 20 minutes in a warm bed. Made extra warm by a very large, hairy black body (that's Migo, in case clarification is needed). Luxury, thy name is sleeping in.
I jump-started my morning with a treat - a 16 oz doubleshot white mocha. And I've been enjoying b-day wishes all day from friends and fam (including a txt message from my bro at 6:26 am). And another mocha delivered by a friend at 9:30!
You know, in some ways, there's really nothing too special about a birthday. It's another day; another 24 hour period; I'm the same person as I was yesterday and will be tomorrow; I'm a day older than I was yesterday and a day younger than I'll be tomorrow. I didn't shower today; I'll shower tomorrow. I've got emails to respond to, meetings to attend, Taco John's for lunch.
But there are two things that make birthdays special. For me, it's a monument; an occasion to reflect on his mercies, which are new every morning. And as of today, that's 10,227 mornings (365.25 x my age) of new mercies from the Lord. I started making a list last night of 28 things I'm thankful for, but I got to about 19 before falling asleep. I'll continue it tonight.
It's also special because other people intentionally make it special. They have occasion to show you their love (3 e-cards from one person? a phone call from a long-lost friend, and emails from others? really thoughtful gifts from family, and plain fun gifts from friends?). I think it's biblical to take time every now and then to pause and articulate our appreciation for someone in whom God also delights, and in whom he's working.
In fact (I reflected on this while getting my b-day massage), God likes to create a sense of occasion; he's built it into the calendar he gave to his people. First in the OT through festivals and feasts, and continuing with the seasons and holidays we take to commemorate certain aspects of God's grace. We celebrate Jesus all year round (or we should); but Advent is a special season to focus on the blessings of the incarnation. We perpetually live in the shadow of the cross, but Easter highlights God's resurrection power for us. Birthdays provide occasion for us to do the same for people, to celebrate God's image in them and to bless and encourage them.
At least that's what I'm telling myself today as I'm having a day be more or less all about me. I'm feeling so loved. Thanks, everybody!
Happy birthday!!! I'm glad you're having a good one.
I think that is very possibly the BEST way to wake up on your birthday morning. Happy Birthday Molly!!
I know, it's a late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I really do hope the day was special and that you felt recognized a little more than other days. I also heard you had a lovely birthday dinner ;) With your parents, of course.

Samuel who is originally from Mumbai is an “anti-natalist” and argues that it is unfair to subject a child to the “rigmarole” of life because their parents chose to have fun.
“I love my parents, and we have a great relationship, but they had me for their joy and their pleasure.
Samuel is one of the many youths who has become a voice of the “anti-natalist” movement in India where youths are resisting the pressure to have children. They believe that having children affects the world’s resources and enables environmental degradation.
His Facebook page, Nihilanand consists of posts that speak boldly against parents giving birth to children. One reads “The only reason your children are facing problems is because you had them”.

Which camp are you in? Hint: If you describe yourself as a sought after speaker, internationally acclaimed guru, or, worse, a thought leader, notice how quickly your conversation partners peel away at the next social event? If, on the other hand, you show interest in others while letting a few useful factoids about yourself bubble out, you’re in the more palatable, yet effective, self-promotion middle ground.
Stephen Balzac, author of the soon to be released book, The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Course: Organizational Development, and myself share some tips firmly rooted in that middle ground in Madden’s new article, “How to Self-Promote Without Being Obnoxious.” If you’re hungering for more tips, insights, and anecdotes geared more for the quieter half, pick up a copy of my book, Self-Promotion for Introverts®: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead.

The Stony Plain Eagles defeated the Lacombe Generals 3-0 in Game 2 of the Allan Cup Hockey West semifinal on Wednesday.
“Every guy top to bottom tonight just did what was asked of them. It was an awesome effort, and the result was there. When we play that way we can be successful,” said head coach Mike Tavaroli.
Eagles forward Matt Stefanishion scored the only goal through 40 minutes, thanks in large part to the play of goaltender Kevin Nashuk.
Early in the third, Jordan Hoffman extended the lead to 2-0 with a shot that found the top corner from just above the face-off circle. Kyle Harris provided the insurance marker with 5:21 to go.
“He’s so calm in there. We have confidence that he’s going to make the stops we need. We were short for half of the second period and he was like a brick wall back there,” said Tavaroli.
With the decision all but in the books, the rough stuff began. Players were continuing well after the whistle, resulting in game misconducts to both teams. Generals Kyle Ross, Brennan Evans, Adam Huxley and Stephen Phee were all kicked out, while Stony Plain lost Zack Macarthur and Ryan Benn.
Nashuk stopped the remaining five shots he faced in the third to complete a 30 save shutout performance. Tyler Wiemen made 24 saves on 27 shots for Lacombe in the loss.
“It was a really good effort for the whole team. Even before I came, we haven’t won in a while, so it was good to get a win and hopefully we can keep it going moving forward,” said Nashuk.
Up next the two teams head back to Lacombe for Game 3 on Friday. Puck drop is at 8 P.M. Game 4 is Saturday at the Glenn Hall Centennial Arena in Stony Plain at 7:30 p.m.

Lydia is starting to get adventurous. River is the one being lazy now.
My world is filled with “dada”, “mama”, “nene”, and random screaming and cooing. They open their mouths wide for food now, and are now able to pick up their puffs and yogurt snacks and attempt to put them in their mouths.

I’m 10 months tired, with bags under my eyes, heavier, with a different sense in humor and worries. Don’t ask me how many times I’ve shaved my legs or how long it’s been since I got my hair cut. I’ve had 10 months of amazing, unconditional love, laughs, cries, high ups and low downs, 10 months of a completely different life.

A concession is a way of categorising a student into a group which may be eligible for a discount. Concessions may be externally defined groups, like High School Students, Senior's or Health Care Card Holders. You may ask these students to provide details of their membership to a group by providing a card number and expiry date. You may allow students to add these details to their record on the website during enrolment or via their profile. Concessions can also be internally defined groups like teaching staff, admin staff and VIP students. These types of concessions may not have numbers or expiry dates, and can not be added by students on the website, but can still be used to provide discounts when enrolling online.
Memberships are products which can be purchased. Being a member may entitle a student to discounts, and possibly also provide that discount to their related contacts. For example, you may sell a membership to a company that provides a discount to all of their staff. Memberships are valid for a fixed period of time e.g. twelve months from purchase, and any discounts associated with the membership will not be available after expiry. Memberships may also be sold for no cost, for example for members of an external program, or may be sold but have no discount associated with membership, for example annual financial members of a community organisation who have AGM voting rights.
Admin staff can add a concession record to a student's record at any time, either during the enrolment process or by editing their contact record.
To add a concession, go to the general tab of the student record. Click on the + above the concession panel to add the concession of your choice. The concession type must have already been defined as per the process described above.
Depending on the settings of the concession type, the number and expiry date fields may be mandatory to complete. You can add multiple concessions to a student record using this process.
If you add the concession to the student's record during the Quick Enrol process, any applicable discount will be applied immediately.
Membership Products can be created from the Products > Memberships. A Membership Product needs a name and should have a description so potential purchasers understand the benefits of the membership.
A membership may have a fee to purchase, or could be given away for free. The membership will have a duration of either a set number of days from purchase, the beginning of the calendar or financial year or be for life.
At this point, you may choose to link to existing discount policies, or you may prefer to define the discounts that apply to people who hold this membership type later.
An important distinction of membership discounts is that they can also apply across relationships. For example, a company could purchase a membership and the discount policy for that membership may apply to all staff of that company who enrol.
A membership can be purchased from Quick Enrol, either in conjunction with an enrolment or as a standalone purchase.
If the membership is purchased in conjunction with an enrolment that is eligible for a discount for members, then the discount will be applied at the time of purchase.
Memberships can be purchased by either searching for a membership number or name in the 'Enter course or item' field. Alternatively you can click on the 'Show all' button next to the text 'MEMBERSHIPS' on the right hand side of the Quick Enrol window; this will only appear once you have clicked on the 'Enter course or item' field.
A student purchasing a College Membership for $10.
You also have the ability to change the 'Valid to' Restrictions date. You can do this by clicking on the lock icon next to the corresponding field. Once you have done this the date field will then become editable and will allow you to override the automatically set date (based on the membership type preferences) to another date of your choice.
A contact can re-purchase and renew a membership they already have at any time during their membership period, unless the membership type is set to never expire.
The renewal purchase is the same process as the original membership purchase, in Quick Enrol or via your website.
For memberships that expire on a fixed date (Jan 1, July 1), the new membership will expire on the date 12 months after their current membership expiry date. For example, if I have a membership expiring Jan 1 2018, and I renew my membership in December 2017, the expiry date will be extended to Jan 1 2019.
For memberships with a fixed set of days duration, that count is added to the previous membership expiry date. For example, if I have a 90 day membership, with 10 days remaining, and I renew my membership today, my new expiry date is 100 days in the future.
If you wish to automatically remind your members of their upcoming membership expiry and encourage them to renew their membership, you may wish to enable the onCourse default script called 'Membership notification renewal' and confirm the wording of it's associated email template (also called 'Membership notification renewal') contains text appropriate for your organisation. By default script will send the notification 7 days before the membership is due to expire.
For as long as the membership is valid, any applicable discounts will be given automatically when the student enrols. Discounts will no longer be given if a membership has expired. Current and expired memberships can be seen in the student's general tab of their record.
To view the details of a contact's membership, you can can click the Membership from within the contact window, under the general tab. A list of the contatc's current memberships will be visible in the bottom left panel of the window.
To open a memberships record simply double click on a record in the list, which will open a pop over that sits above the contact record.
The find related feature is also available in the Membership Groups window.
Current/Expired Members - This will show a list of all contacts who are either current members or expired members of this membership.
Discounts - This will display the various discounts that the membership offers.
Classes - This will show the classes affected by the chose membership.
Audits - This will display any captured interactions between the membership product and the onCourse user responsible for them.
In the contacts advanced search panel, accessed via clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the search window, are a range of search functions related to concessions and memberships.
In conjunction with other search functions, such as enrolment history and demographic data, this information can provide opportunities for you to find and promote courses to particular groups of students at your college.

U.S. President Donald Trump loudly insisted on Tuesday that both left- and right-wing groups used force in the aftermath of a white supremacist rally and that all of the facts were not yet in about street clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Trump, taking questions from reporters in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, reverted to his initial comments on Saturday blaming “many sides” for the violence, but on Monday had explicitly condemned the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.
Trump has faced a storm of criticism from Democrats and members of his own Republican Party over his initial response to the violence around the rally in the Southern college town of Charlottesville. His remarks on Tuesday began a new round of outrage.
“Blaming ‘both sides’ for #Charlottesville?! No. Back to relativism when dealing with KKK, Nazi sympathizers, white supremacists? Just no,” Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said on Twitter.
White supremacists in the United States have been emboldened by the election of Trump. His campaign last year drew their support and that of other right-wing groups, despite his disavowals of them.
“Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth about #Charlottesville & condemn the leftist terrorists in BLM/Antifa,” former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke wrote on Twitter after Trump’s latest remarks, referring to Black Lives Matter (BLM) and anti-facists.
Saturday’s violence erupted after hundreds of white nationalists converged in Charlottesville to protest plans to remove a statue of General Robert E. Lee, commander of the pro-slavery Confederate army in the U.S. Civil War.
In his remarks, Trump sympathized with protesters who opposed removing the Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, but offered no equivalent remarks for those who favored its removal.
Trump grouped former presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who fought to create the United States, together as “slave owners,” with southern leaders Lee, Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson.
“Was George Washington a slave owner? Will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? … Because he was a major slave owner,” Trump said.
In Virginia, street brawls broke out as the white nationalists were met by crowds of anti-racism demonstrators. A car then plowed into a group of the counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring 19 others. A 20-year-old Ohio man, James Fields, said to have harbored Nazi sympathies, was charged with murder, malicious wounding and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

The actress and founder of Voto Latino tells THR that "these four years have been very telling of showing what the process really looks like."
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Actress, activist and founder of Voto Latino, Rosario Dawson is not one to keep quiet when it comes to politics.
Though Dawson missed the Republican National Convention this year, after having attended both parties conventions in 2008, the actress did step out at the Democratic National Convention this week as both a solo act and as part of her organization. Speaking on The Huffington Post's "What is Working: Solutions to America's Job Crisis" panel, alongside will.i.am, LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue, Startup America CEO Scott Case, moderator Tom Brokaw, and more, Dawson brought her star power and unique perspective to the Ritz Carlton ballroom in Charlotte, N.C.
Following the panel, Dawson spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the DNC then and now, what's changed since President Barack Obama took Office and why she didn't vote until the 2004 election, despite being eligible in 2000.
The Hollywood Reporter: Why was it important for you to be here at this event and at the DNC in general?
Rosario Dawson: I got to go to both the RNC and the DNC four years ago,and I'm bummed that I missed the RNC this year. But I'm really happy to be here and seeing the energy I think it's really important when people say 'nothing comes out of politics' and 'nothing ever changes,' it's like, well what about the Tea Party and Sarah Palin?
The last four years have been drastically different than the four years before that, and definitely in my lifetime. I see that continuing to be the issue, so for me it's really exciting to be able to see so many people who are getting engaged, getting involved, trying to do it in creative ways, and taking advantage of the fact that we're all here to do that. For protests, to dreamers, to code pink, to different organizations and corporations coming out and our politicians and our representatives coming out and the delegates, this is an opportunity that should not be wasted. For me it's invaluable to be able to be here.
THR: What are the main differences between the last DNC and this one?
Dawson: I felt like there were a lot more celebrities, and I felt like it was really huge. It was like a whole other kind of experience. Those two years leading up to that election were so intense. I think there's been a lot of things that have been going on the past four years, and we have seen changes like Don't Ask, Don't Tell and obviously the Iraq War, but also civil liberties being taken apart and immigration issues. The economy has been really bad, so I think people have come out of that hope change conversation and what they were looking for coming out of the Bush years and are in a different place now that's a little bit more--not vulnerable--but definitely a little more disquieted. Not as exuberant and excited.
I think you had a lot of people who were coming into the process who hadn't been there before and I think these four years have been very telling of showing what the process really looks like. It showed up on him [Obama]. That's the thing we always joke about, how when anyone becomes president, after they get debriefed, suddenly they just go gray.
This icon of hope and change with black hair is now white haired and it can happen in four years because this is tough work and to roll up your sleeves and try to get into it is gonna take a lot more than people taking a couple months off to knock on doors or someone filling the office for four to eight years. It's going to take a commitment for our lifetime we know that with Voto Latino, you need to vote three times to be a voter for life. So that's why we have to get people not just registered but voting and participating and engaged where they understand that this is a right and a necessity to participate in because there are still people dying around the world for that right.
THR: Do you remember the first time you voted?
Dawson: I did with Voto Latino, which is interesting because it was in 2004 and I could have voted four years earlier, but I didn't. That is interesting, because my mom votes and my family votes, so I think that was one of the things I really connected to with Voto Latino, was 'why didn't I vote?' I was an activist and there was just something even as an activist that's sort of outside of it, going 'politics is separate. activism is this' and doing absolutely nothing is a whole other group.
I had the satisfaction of being an activist and doing other things and working hands on in small groups and doing that sort of community organizing thing that was actually made a mockery of in 2008, which we're seeing a huge resurgence of now in a totally different way, especially with Netroots Nation, that is really showing us that organizing is vitally important. So I had that as my background and there's almost a distrust in the activist community going 'they're never going to pass legislation on this, we just have to be out here, on the ground, doing this work' and for me it was really important to take on something else.
Activists unfortunately end up spending way too much time filling out paperwork and trying to get people to pay attention to the issue, when if you can combine your efforts and do activism but also work within the political system and befriend the right people you can pass legislation that can save you years of time and energy so you can get to other work.
THR: How are you feeling about the Voto Latino event tonight?
Dawson: It's gonna be awesome. Tonight's gonna be awesome.

The Jonas Brothers are shooting another music video this week, and from the looks of their photos, they’re trading in British royalty for American riches. The boy band is in Miami, Florida, following the success of their “Sucker” music video, which was shot in England at a historic royal mansion. Although it is unclear what concept their new music video will embody, the Jonas Brothers have already teased fans with shots of colorful 1980s-style suits — and a fancy yacht.
A photo obtained by TMZ showed the three brothers standing on a yacht in sunny Miami, wearing brightly colored suits of the same style. Nick, 26, opted for a lilac purple suit with a blue T-shirt, white boat shoes, and a chain around his neck. He clutched a pair of sunglasses in one hand as he looked solemnly at the camera. Joe, 29, chose a blue suit with white boat shoes. The former DNCE singer seemed to be turning to head off the boat in the shot. Meanwhile, Kevin, 31, went with a bright orange suit and black boat shoes. He looked at something off-camera as he stepped out of the yacht.
The looks seem to be a nod to the 1984 detective series Miami Vice, which may offer a few hints about where the Jonas Brothers’ music video is heading. The series is often remembered for the stylish clothing worn by main characters Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs.
Another photo from the Miami outing shows the brothers sitting in lawn chairs, wearing matching blue suit jackets with black pants. Nick and Kevin held up vintage tanning reflectors, while Joe looked at the camera.
The brothers are also shooting at the historical International Inn, according to Life & Style. They were photographed roaming around the colorful hotel’s pool as crewmen worked to set the scene.
It is unclear if the Jonas Brothers’ leading ladies will join them for this music video as they did the last, but Nick’s newlywed wife Priyanka Chopra did share a few Instagram posts revealing that she is also in Miami, E! News reported. However, it appears she may be visiting family while Nick works with his brothers.
A new album is definitely on the horizon for the Jonas Brothers, who reunited last month as a band for the first time since 2013. Earlier in March, it was revealed that the brothers have already recorded 40 new songs.

I’ve been using the Stew Mac Gibson fret scale for laying out the fret locations.
I noticed on their website they state the positions were derived by measuring many guitars.
I belive Gibson used the rule of 18 for the fret locations instead of the more exact 17.82 number.
I’m wondering if the intonation is off on the scale?
And Gibson has a bunch of scale lengths, the most common of which is 24.75 (or thereabouts).
There was an article in AL a few years ago about the three main changes in Gibson's 24-3/4 scale. I'll see if I can find it.
I believe Gibson used the literal 18 to derive the fret locations?
24.75 / 18 = first fret slot.
I doubt my marking and cutting is very precise.
Just wondering if the scale is based on antique or modern calculations.
That's not quite true from what I understand. 17.82 is the more ideal number which is the 12th root of two. 18 is a close approximation to the more ideal 17.82 but they are distinctly different beasts.
Rule of 18 fretboards intonate differently than 12th root of 2 fretboards. I have a couple clients that vintage-ise new Gibson LPs to vintage spec and the fretboards I cut for them are slotted to a 24.75" scale calculated using the rule of 18 as opposed to the 12th root of two and the frets definitely don't line up between the two.
Definitely different beasts and you can hear the difference.
Some frets are going to be sharp or flat no matter what method to place them.
As Andy wrote, there is a different placement at the first (and other) fret with different methods of scaling.
Yes, they were as well as just about everyone else who didn't have a calculator.
Well I couldn't find the article. As I remember one of the changes was going from 18 as the divisor to 17.8xxxxx (whatever the 12th root of 2 is) but there was another change and I don't remember why they did that.
Guitars are frustrating if you don't just pick a method and stick with it.

Michael Dell and Elon Musk Talk Innovation at Dell World - InternetNews.
As part of his opening keynote, Dell also shared the stage with Elon Musk, founder of electric car vendor Tesla and commercial space exploration firm SpaceX, to discuss innovation. Musk detailed his challenges and explained that innovation has a lot to do with not giving up and trying to do more everyday.
"I think that people self-limit," Musk said. "The number one thing is people should just keep trying, did you try yesterday? Did you try today? It takes a lot of mental exertion to innovate."
Dell, who owns a Tesla car himself, saluted Musk as being an inspiring figure.
"We do have an affliction of short term thinking in our society and we need more people like Elon taking big risks," Dell said.

1. How did your baking/caking journey begin?
If I showed you all the birthday cakes I made for my Triplet's 8th Birthday almost 10 years ago, you may have politely told me to “keep my day job”. There was a supermarket chocolate mud cake; one of those in the clear plastic tubs. Handwritten names of my three cherubs on top using store bought coloured icing. Not to forget 3 plastic toys to complete the look. There was no indication at that stage of my life, that I could (or even should) start a Cake Business.
It was my last child's first birthday in 2015 that started it all, as is so often the case. We hear about it all the time; a Mum has a crazy desire to make their own child's birthday cake. They think to themselves, “Oh how hard can it be? Why not do it? I'll give it a go.” It works, it's amazing! Not only does it look good, it tastes divine. All the other Mum's at the party wholeheartedly agree and tell her that she should start a cake business...and she does. And I did. Armed with a small cake tool box that my husband bought me as a gift, I created a Number 1 shaped cake complete with fondant and a cute looking 2D smiley giraffe face. It wasn't a great piece of art by any stretch of anybody’s imagination. All I can say is that something clicked in me, something shifted and a true passion was born. A creative outlet that had been simmering in the background for over 25 years.
Starting Sweet Lucy has meant everything to me. Not only have I been able to stay at home for my children; a goal since my triplets were born in 2000, but I have proven to myself that I can operate a business. Self doubt regarding whether I could ever be successful had held me back from opportunities for years. Looking back, I now realise that discovering my true passion had to come first to achieve lasting success and a business that I love.
I have never been a natural artist when it comes to drawing and painting and have found that edible images are the perfect medium to create images, calligraphy and artwork that add a real professional touch.
My work has started to involve printed icing sheet wraps more and more. Most of these buttercream or fondant cakes to date feature a patterned wrap a quarter or a half up the side of the cake. Over the next few weeks I have orders that will have the entire side of the cake wrapped in either a flower pattern or watercolour effect. For me, the available designs are limitless and fill the gap that exists in my skillset!
Definitely the cake wraps mentioned above as well as the continued trend of edible image toppers for cupcakes both for children’s birthday and corporate logos.
6. What is the funniest/most unusual cake you’ve been asked to create?
A chook! One of my lovely customers asked for a full size chicken cake for her 13 year old daughter as these are her favourite animals. I was told that she didn’t want to cut it!

I have no idea what happened but it appears something significant occurred between the OU game on Friday night and the Akron game on Monday for Jalen to get zero minutes.

=>If someone can tell me how Duke's 40 point how wins over EMU and other home games they are playing against Army, Princeton, and Yale have prepared Coach K's boys for the ACC, I will concede this point.
Duke plays Eastern Michigan because Eastern is coached by a former Jim Boeheim assistant, allowing Duke to practice against a poorer man's version of the Syracuse 2-3 zone. Yale and Princeton were picked to finish in the top half of the Ivy.
Duke also schedules the reigning Division 2 national champs for their exhibition game, so not the creamiest of cupcakes.
Many other high majors will tailor their scheduling so they see different styles before conference play.
=>Playing Yale is like playing an Little Miami River Conference team.
Serious question. If we have donors who would pay for us to play in some pseudo bowl or whatever you want to call it, would you rather have them spend their money on this, or, assuming they were willing, still make the financial commitment and donation, but put the money towards future needs in football/coaching fund, ie more money for assistants etc? I personally would prefer the latter option. To me it’s a better use of the money.

Is the Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) living up to its potential to advance economic, social and cultural rights? This fundamental question is at the heart of research being undertaken by the Center for Economic and Social Rights and the Human Rights Clinic at Sciences Po (Paris Institute of Political Studies). It was also the topic of a side event that the Center co-hosted with Amnesty International in Geneva last month, during the 29th session of the Human Rights Council.
The event aimed to better understand how economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) have been addressed in the UPR, and to help identify opportunities and challenges in using the UPR to tackle inequality and disadvantage around the world. Bringing together national civil society groups, international NGOs, and member states, the event reflected on questions such as: What do we consider to be “good recommendations” on ESCR? What kinds of ESCR issues can be best advanced through the UPR? What measures should be taken at the national level to ensure that UPR recommendations influence how socio-economic policies are developed and implemented?
Allison Corkery from the Center for Economic and Social Rights provided an overview of the research undertaken by the Human Rights Clinic, highlighting a number of preliminary findings. Although they have increased in the second cycle, ESCR-specific recommendations amount to just under one fifth of all recommendations. Further, as shown in the graph below, some ESCR issues receive considerably more attention than others. Additionally, less than 10% recommend action classified as “specific”. By contrast, a third of the recommendations on civil and political rights recommend specific action.
Iain Byrne from Amnesty International discussed how the ESCR-related issues that Amnesty has prioritized in its advocacy before the UPR—including forced evictions, minority rights and reproductive health—had been addressed. He commented that while many of the issues were indeed reflected in the recommendations, they were generally framed in much more general terms. He stressed that, to be effective, ESCR-related recommendations need to be more measurable and capable of being monitored. Pushing for states to justify their reasons for not accepting recommendations, and ensuring better review of implementation at the national level, would also strengthen the impact that ESCR-related recommendations can have.
Nuno Cabral, from the Permanent Mission of Portugal, reflected on some of the challenges facing Council members when crafting UPR recommendations. Likening the process to a ‘friendly match’ in football, he stressed that choice of messages is political and that many states are reluctant to appear to be micromanaging the economic choices of their peers. In addition, members of the Council face a number of practical challenges such as very limited time to speak and convey messages, the amalgamation of recommendations by the troika (a team of three countries' delegates who assist in the review) and, in some cases, a lack of capacity among delegations with regard to ESCR. He suggested that if these were better addressed, the quality of recommendations on ESCR would be enhanced.
Miloon Kothari, President of UPR Info, emphasized that the lack of attention to ESCR in the UPR mirrors the lack of attention to ESCR by the human rights system more broadly. ESCR issues are structural; they hit at economic policies, trade policies, agricultural policies, land, questions of resources etc. So to better address them, it is important to see the UN system as a whole, for example by ensuring that the UPR reinforces work done by treaty bodies, special procedures and other mechanisms. He also called attention to the importance of work done at the national level to translate the recommendations into more specific policy actions and demands, including by engaging national human rights institutions, developing indicators and setting up monitoring tools.
In the discussion that followed, audience members suggested additional dimensions of the review that would be relevant to the continuing research and shared additional challenges they had faced in advocating for ESCR in the UPR process. The need for more education, awareness raising and capacity building with States’ delegates was a recurrent theme. The insights and lessons shared at the event will inform the research and will be incorporated into a discussion paper on the topic to be circulated late this year.

Diabetes and obesity have much in common: they’re both chronic health conditions that are often linked, both are often preventable, and both considered epidemics. Nemours researchers and specialists at our pediatric labs in the Delaware Valley and Florida investigate diabetes, obesity, growth and nutrition from several perspectives — including biological, genetic and behavioral.
We are dedicated to finding answers because every child deserves the best chance to grow into a healthy adult. Learn about our findings and what we’re working on now.
At Nemours, each pediatric biomedical research center works closely with clinicians and other professionals to find innovative ways of preventing and treating childhood diseases. One significant area of our work focuses on reversing the rise in diabetes and obesity, and addressing diseases related to growth and nutrition. Some of our significant work is summarized here.
Many adults take statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) to reduce cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Researchers at our Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders are wrapping up three interrelated projects that investigate whether statins improve the cardiovascular health of children with type 1 diabetes. One project is a randomized placebo-controlled trial to see if statins can safely reduce abnormal plasma lipids and to study the interrelationship of these abnormal lipids with glucose levels using continuous glucose sensors in young children with type 1 diabetes. Another measures the effect of statins on markers of inflammation in circulating blood cells. The third measures artery damage with novel MRI scanning technology.
It’s well known that high blood sugar levels in children with diabetes can damage the cardiovascular system. Nemours researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at 5 other centers, are examining the effects of diabetes on the brain. They’re using state-of-the-art brain imaging tools and neurocognitive testing in very young children with and without diabetes. The researchers are investigating whether children with abnormal blood sugar levels have differences in brain anatomy and brain function compared with normal children without diabetes.
Can a gym-based fitness program help children stay in better shape? Working closely with Christiana Hospital and the YMCA, Nemours researchers are piloting a community-based program to explore the benefits of a doctor-designed fitness program. Their focus: children who come from families where obesity is already a factor.
For adolescent males with severe short stature, puberty greatly limits the amount of time available for catch-up growth. It is the estrogen produced in puberty that ultimately fuses the growth plates of children, even in males. This randomized controlled trial examines the role of aromatase inhibitors — drugs that block the conversion of testosterone to estrogen — alone and in combination with growth hormone (GH) — in enhancing growth in adolescent boys with significant short stature. Sites for the study include Jacksonville, Philadelphia and Santiago, Chile.
In another study, researchers at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando are working to obtain additional data on the safety and outcome of growth hormone therapy in patients utilizing different brands of the hormone. A third study evaluates the optimal management strategies for children receiving the hormone.
Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects females and is associated with short stature and ovarian failure along with a number of other physical abnormalities. Researchers at Nemours are investigating whether estrogen administered either orally and via skin patches works differently on body composition and metabolism in girls with Turner syndrome. The study also aims to better understand whether titration of the dose of estrogen can be done using sophisticated laboratory assays during treatment.
Can the natural antioxidants found in fruit and vegetable juice concentrates, combined with nutritional counseling, play a role in obesity in male adolescents? A recent study by Nemours researchers looked at the evidence. Participants, including both lean and overweight boys, were tested over 6 months to see if the antioxidants in the juice might help reduce obesity — and help improve insulin resistance.
Our research into areas related to diabetes, obesity, growth and nutrition is focused in two centers: the Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, and the Center for Integrative Pediatric Obesity Care.
Pediatric endocrinology is a specialty dealing with both common and very rare diseases.The Nemours Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, our pediatric endocrinology clinic based in Northeast Florida, is dedicated to clinical care and health education for our patients. At Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville, the latest technologies and treatments are studied and integrated into clinical care and patient support. We are fortunate to be part of exciting research that is quickly translating into direct benefits for children with diabetes, as well as disorders of puberty and growth.
Type 1 diabetes, the second most common chronic disease in children, is probably the most recognized condition of the pediatric endocrine specialist, yet disorders of growth and puberty also top the list.
Supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and other internal and external grants, the investigative team within the Center concentrates on studies related to pediatric diabetes and disorders of growth and puberty.
Our Center also collaborates with many of the other Centers within Nemours Biomedical Research and departments throughout Nemours’ health system, to evaluate data and translate developments to improve clinical care. And we are active participants in national and international multicenter collaborative studies.
The Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders has conducted numerous clinical trials, Phase II-IV, studying effects of hormones, growth, metabolism and diabetes research in both children and young adults. Sponsors have included the National Institutes of Health, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Thrasher Research Fund, Genentech Center for Clinical Research in Endocrinology, and industry.
As a regional referral center for pediatric sub-specialty care, Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville, draws from a diverse ethnic and socio-economic population from the southeastern part of the United States and from several foreign countries.
The Center for Integrative Pediatric Obesity Care provides a continuum of integrated services designed to prevent, treat and research the epidemic of childhood obesity.
Current research topics within the center include the link between obesity and cancer, preventing type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) among children who are found to be obese, and reviewing biomarkers to predict which children may benefit most from interventions to prevent obesity.
Pediatric obesity research at Nemours involves a significant amount of collaboration throughout our system, including physicians within our general pediatrics practice, endocrinologists, oncologists, pediatric psychologists, nutritionists, dieticians and health and prevention professionals.

Eli J. Finkel, a social psychologist, set out to examine the influence of commitment on forgiveness in romantic relationships. Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, and Hannon analyzed three studies on the topic of betrayal and forgiveness. In any relationship, conflicts arise and are the result of a multitude of causes. Finkel suggests that the violation of relationship norms is one of the more serious threats to a relationship, with betrayal being one of the most difficult obstacles in a relationship (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002).
To illustrate betrayal and forgiveness, Finkel and colleagues reference the famous film The War of the Roses. “The marriage of Barbara and Oliver is marked by betrayal. Oliver belittles Barbara’s career as a chef. Barbara fails to support Oliver during a frightening health crisis. Each humiliates the other, delivering impossible-to-forget attacks on the other’s tastes and habits” (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002, p. 956).
The behaviors in which Oliver and Barbara engage decrease their love for one another and cause their marriage to end tragically. Forgiveness is one the most difficult tasks in relationships, and “psychologists’ understanding of forgiveness and betrayal is somewhat limited” (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002, p. 965).
Finkel et al. outline three reasons for why commitment would influence forgiveness. First, an individual in a relationship may be concerned with long term self-interests. Second, an individual may be concerned with the long-term interests of his or her partner. In committed relationships, individuals become dependent on their partners, and the researchers suggest that higher levels of dependence lead to higher odds of forgiveness. The researchers suggest that if a person has more to lose in a relationship, that person should be more willing to forgive and not hold grudges within the relationship in order to maintain what the person obtains from the relationship (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002). The third and final aspect that is involved in the influence of commitment on forgiveness is the role of psychological attachment. In a close relationship, “the self and partner may become merged to the extent that departures from self-interest benefit the partner” (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002, p. 959).
In Study 1, participants were instructed to indicate their reaction to theoretical acts of betrayal. Each participant was primed to react in a certain way. Participants with a high commitment prime were asked questions that promoted dependence and commitment (e.g., “If your relationship were to end in the near future, what would upset you the most about not being with your partner anymore?”; Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002). Participants with a low commitment prime were asked questions that promoted independence and a lack of commitment (e.g., “Describe an activity that you enjoy engaging in when your partner is not around”; Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002).
In Study 2, a cross-sectional survey method was used to analyze forgiveness and commitment in relation to real instances of betrayal. Participants were instructed to think about a time when their partner betrayed them and describe their immediate and long term reactions to the event. Researchers predicted that individuals would be less likely to engage in immediate forgiveness of a betrayal and more likely to engage in behaviors of forgiveness over time (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002).
In Study 3, the ideas of commitment and forgiveness were analyzed through measurements of reactions to betrayal that required participants to record daily interactions in order to examine whether or not commitment is positively associated with forgiveness (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002). Participants were instructed to discuss acts of betrayal that occurred over a two week period of time, indicate how committed they considered themselves to be to their partner, and discuss their reactions to each act of betrayal (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002).
Each study revealed evidence that commitment influences forgiveness. It is evident that acts of betrayal have negative influences on close relationships, and the immediate responses to these acts are not positive. However, over time, forgiveness is evident and has been proven to be influenced by commitment. These studies highlight how and why people forgive their partner by revealing that people's level of commitment within a relationship plays a role in their forgiveness within these relationships. The association between commitment and forgiveness was related more to one's intent to persist in the relationship, rather than to a long-term relationship orientation or psychological attachment. In addition, this association was mediated by one's cognitive interpretations of betrayal incidents. Although people tend to resort to self-oriented impulses shortly after a betrayal, those who find motivation to forgive in the longer term do so partially due to pro-relationship motives, which can be promoted by commitment.
Finkel, E. J., Rusbult, C. E., Kumashiro, M., & Hannon, P. A. (2002). Dealing with betrayal in close relationships: Does commitment promote forgiveness? Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 82, 956-974.

A new report by a youth advocacy group argues against the widespread U.S. practice of locking up teen offenders — a practice that has been on the decline in Florida under the state's outgoing juvenile justice chief.
Department of Juvenile Justice Secretary Wansley Walters, whose last day on the job is Monday , said "Safely Home," a study by the nonprofit Youth Advocate Programs, Inc., is consistent with developments at DJJ during her three-and-a-half-year tenure.
"Safely Home," which was released Tuesday, argues that the deeper kids go into the juvenile justice system — and the tighter the security in which they're detained — the less likely it is that they will ever be rehabilitated.
"Institutions provide virtually none of the supports the community can," wrote the Youth Advocate Programs' Policy and Advocacy Center. "Youth need to learn how to function and make good decisions within the community, and having the support of caring, competent adults and access to safe and positive people, places and activities is what leads to good long-term outcomes. Kids can't access these supports in isolation."
She has spent time and resources to help community programs provide family therapy, individualized mental-health services, substance-abuse treatment and anger-management classes for young offenders — while keeping them where they're most likely to find support.
"One of the most important ways of turning kids around that have been in trouble is not ostracizing them from the rest of the community, but allowing them to participate in sporting programs, Boys and Girls Clubs ... the kind of programs that make them want to succeed," she said.
According to DJJ, the number of beds in the most secure facilities in Florida's juvenile-justice system dropped 42 percent between January 2011 and January 2014. Between fiscal year 2010-11 and fiscal year 2012-13, juvenile arrests declined 23 percent and felony juvenile arrests declined 17 percent, while transfers to adult court declined 36 percent.
Gov. Rick Scott recently signed a bill (HB 7055) rewriting the laws that govern the Department of Juvenile Justice and placing some of Walters' reform into state law.
And Walters' successor, incoming Interim Secretary Kristy Daly, pledges to continue her emphasis on front-end and rehabilitative services.
The report by Youth Advocate Programs, Inc., whose purpose is keeping young people out of institutions, argues that removing kids from their communities may lessen "any perceived immediate risk to the public," but that incarceration doesn't change the trajectory of their lives.
"Risk factors that make youth vulnerable to incarceration cannot be eliminated through incarceration," the report says. "In fact, many of the environmental and social factors that contribute to youth incarceration get worse, not better, with incarceration."
Nell Bernstein, author of a new book called "Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison," said incarceration should be the exception, not the rule.
"I saw kids get chewed up in institutions," said Bernstein, who got her start as a six-dollar-an-hour staffer in a San Francisco group home and has interviewed hundreds of incarcerated youth.
Bernstein said that contrary to common perception, much of the violence that juveniles experience in lock-up is at the hands of the guards.
"According to federal research, 12 percent of juveniles behind bars will be sexually assaulted," she said. "And on some level, we know that, right? ... But what I think people don't know is that out of that 12 percent, 10 percent are assaulted by guards, only 2 percent by other wards."
While Bernstein and the Youth Advocate Programs argue for the lowest amount of juvenile detention, Walters said political reality dictates a certain amount.
"Many times, it is those communities that demand of those judges and those prosecutors that those children be removed from that community and sent somewhere," she said. "Knowing that that is a reality that we live with, we have worked hard to change those numbers."
There will always be a core of offenders who threaten public safety, she said, but most can be rehabilitated with the right services and interventions.
The Youth Advocate Programs report also touts community programs for their cost-effectiveness, maintaining that they can deliver the same services for a fraction of the cost, serving three to four times as many young offenders.

The May 11 election appears too close to call, with two main contenders enjoying almost the same voter approval ratings and the third one being not very far behind, the results of an exclusive public opinion poll conducted by the Herald magazine show.
A very high 95.1 per cent of the 1285 poll respondents say they are registered to vote and 25.68 per cent of these registered respondents say they intend to vote for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN), 24.98 per cent of them say their vote will go to Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) and another 17.74 per cent want to vote for Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
In Punjab, where more than half of all National Assembly contests will take place, PMLN seems to be the party of choice, with 38.66 per cent of the respondents indicating support for it, followed by PTI at 30.46 per cent. The outgoing ruling party in Islamabad, PPP, is trailing way behind at 14.33 per cent.
In Sindh, PPP still enjoys the biggest share of support with 35.21 per cent respondents indicating it as their party of preference, followed by Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) with 19.37 per cent support, PTI with 8.45 per cent support and PML-N with 8.1 per cent among the survey respondents.
As Pakistan prepares for national elections, the country’s public mood is exceedingly grim. Roughly nine-in-ten Pakistanis believe the country is on the wrong track, and about eight-in-ten say the economy is in poor shape.
Meanwhile, concerns about extremist groups have increased markedly. More than nine-in-ten Pakistanis describe terrorism as a very big problem, and about half now say the Taliban is a very serious threat to their country. For the first time since the Pew Research Center began polling on these issues, the Taliban is essentially considered as big a threat to Pakistan as longtime rival India.
While worries about the Taliban are growing, there is almost no desire to see the United States extend its fight against the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan. Two-in-three Pakistanis say it is a good thing that the U.S. plans to remove most of its troops from Afghanistan by 2014. At the same time, Washington’s use of drones to target extremists in Pakistan is widely unpopular.

The Rural Hume Integrated Growth Area Plan (Rural HIGAP) covers all land that falls outside the Urban Growth Boundary (excluding Melbourne Airport). It includes the areas of Oaklands Junction, Yuroke, Wildwood, Diggers Rest; the rural parts of Clarkefield; Greenvale and Sunbury, the Keilor area behind Melbourne Airport and Bulla Township.
The current round of community consultation for the Rural HIGAP (Hume Integrated Growth Area Integrated Plan) project has recently closed. Council would like to thank those who took the time to provide their feedback.
Those living or with an interest in Hume’s rural areas were given the opportunity to provide feedback on the Emerging Issues and Options Paper developed by Council.
Council received 70 submissions to the Paper. The submissions were insightful and creative, proposing innovative ideas to protect and enhance the rural areas.
Moving forward, Council officers will be reviewing the submissions and drawing upon the community response to develop draft strategies. There will be more opportunities to get involved with the project and have your say in 2019. Next year another round of consultation will be conducted where you will have the opportunity to help shape the proposed strategies before they are formed into a final strategy.
Look out for regular updates in Hume’s Re-Source newsletter.
Council is currently preparing the Rural Hume Integrated Growth Area Plan (HIGAP) Spatial Strategy that will guide planning, infrastructure provision and Council investment within the rural areas over the next 25 years.
As part of the development of Rural HIGAP, Council has prepared an Emerging Issues and Options Paper.
The Emerging Issues and Options Paper discusses the key issues for the rural areas and provides options on how each issue might be addressed. Some of the issues explored in the Paper include the pressures of urban growth and development, agriculture and illegal waste dumping.
The options to address these issues range from doing more, keeping things as they are or doing less. We’d like to know which you prefer or if there are other options you suggest.

Mini Din 9 Pin Cables PLEASE ASK FOR HELP!
Click the button below to add the Mini Din 9 pin B type 6 ft Male to Female Black Extension Cable to your wish list.
Notice the uneven spacing in the 3 pin row. Please make sure this fits your application.
Mini Din 9 pin cable 6 ft total length. Male to female configuration. Black color.
Pins connect straight through end to end.
Most popular mini din 9 pin configuration. Referred to as a Mini din 9B cable. Larger than typical mini din connector.
26 gauge wire (most cables are 28, a thinner wire).
New custom made cables sold only by Kraydad's cables and parts.
NOTE this cable will not work with Bose(does work with Bose Companion systems with the round end), Korg or Sanyo home theater systems. We carry those cables as well, please contact us!
It would be easy to screw up your purchase of this MINI DIN 9 pin because of the two versions, A & B.
This vendor does a fantastic job in helping you determine, before you buy, which you need.
Price was great and shipping was fast.
This was the only extension cable I could find for my Creative PC speakers. Unfortunately once hooked up my speakers started making crackling and/or high pitched tones when no audio was going to them. When I am playing music or a video these go away, but I have to turn the speakers off every time I stop the music/video or I get the crackling/high pitched tones. This didn't happen before I added this cable.
I needed a mini Din 9 pin B type male to female extension cable to extend the reach of a BMW Tablet DVD system. Although the OEM male connector is the 'long type' and this cable was the 'short type', I was able to trim 1/8 inch of plastic on the male connector to allow deeper penetration into the female housing, eliminating a intermittent connection.
Good follow-up by Kevin Holder to resolve this issue, great customer service.
I didn't order this cable, but I emailed them regarding a cable for my Logitech Z3 speakers. These speakers use a custom cable. Kevin was able to customize a cable that works great.

Great idea! I was shocked but happy to see any CDs at Marsh Supermarket. Figure the manager must be a fan.
Meijer is cutting down on all CDs since they are not selling as well. I asked the salesperson why no Mellencamp CDs and he told me that all stores are cuting down on selling all CDs.
Will be checking other stores!

There is a strange dichotomy to fall weather. The changing of the seasons reminds us that winter is fast approaching while at the same time, revealing so many warm and brilliant colors in the trees, fruits and vegetables that are harvested this time of year. Orange pumpkins, golden apples, trees ablaze with fiery leaves that will soon need to be raked into pile.
Our thoughts turn to food and drink that will keep us warm during the cold months, and the abundance of warm spices, sweet treats and savory offerings that are common this time of year.
As such, we are pleased to release our two new offerings to entice your senses.
At the cafes, the Cardamom - Ginger is subtly spicy and sweet and full of the flavors of the fall harvest. Created by our staff of talented baristas and made from scratch from simple ingredients, it's the perfect warm-up treat on a cool fall day.
From the roaster, we have the 2016 release of our Holiday Blend. This year, we've created something that represents all of the flavors we love this time of year and that pairs well with the fall harvest. A blend of Kenya, Ethiopia and Sumatra yields a cup with a maple syrup body, fruity notes of cranberries and a clear and defined finish. It's the perfect thing to enjoy as you sit around the dinner table after a wonderful meal, or to sip by the side of the hearth. Holiday Blend is available at all our cafes and select grocery partners around the area.
Launch Date - New Website and Online Store Launch October 1st, 2016. New options for ordering coffee and simplified checkout process.
Sometimes, you just have to wait for good things to come. That’s certainly the case with the new crop of Colombian coffees that just arrived at our Main St. roasting facility. Back track almost 6 months when we visited the town of Jardin in the Antioquia region of Colombia in December of 2015. We toured, tasted and selected two coffees that we would bring in this year.
This past week, I had the opportunity to travel to Jardin, Colombia to visit several farms in the region where we buy much of our coffee, and to see the mill in town where most of these farmers sell their coffee and where it’s prepared for export.

The book includes short biographies of almost 1,000 historical and contemporary Pales¬tinian personalities of all social strata and occupational groups – political elites, freedom fighters, thinkers, writers, educators, civil rights activists, and others – listed in alphabeti¬cal order. Each entry contains biographical information on lives and activities of persons, including basic facts, such as birth and death dates and places, as well as information on education, employment history, positions held, achievements made, works published, etc., accompanied, where available, by a photograph.
Memory informs our understanding of the present and defines us as a people. So that the Palestinian memory remains a conscious and living story shared and maintained with pride and confidence we paint here a landscape of Palestine that combines the scenery and the experience. The mountains and valleys, the plains, the river and the sea, the towns, villages and rural areas are all here. But so too are the accounts of what this land has witnessed including the challenges and changes wrought by the invaders, the geography of the occupation, and the division of the land, the siege and the closure.
Maps tell but a piece of the story. The scenery of life in Palestine, the “homeland" and all its meanings and symbols, in terms of identity, culture and civilization is also recorded in novels, poems, editorials and biographies. Here PASSIA has brought together sketches of the lives of Palestinians as a way to record and to reveal and share the collective memory of a people.
Some of those included here are well known figures. Others remained in the shadows even if their names kept appearing in the media.
We did not look for names but examples. Included is the Palestinian who was a pioneer and founder of the Arab Renaissance Movement at the beginning of the 19th Century. So too is the Palestinian who was an active and leading member of the national and the pan-Arab movement in the 20th Century.
There are those who became prisoners of war, detainees without recourse to law, prisoners without charge, and those who became fugitives, wounded, and martyred.
These pages also record the unrecorded, the unregistered, the unrecognized Palestinian who has no official birth certificate or standard passport from any government or state with sovereignty; who lived through the large-scale social and physical upheaval on his own land, to end up over the borders somewhere, “hosted” by another state, yet never lost hope in the “right of return” to Palestine and to live in freedom.
Here are the Palestinian who emigrated of their own free will, looking for work or education; or those who were evicted, collectively and individually, as the aggression escalated and because they wanted to survive. There are the Palestinians who carried the documents of others but maintained their identity without fear and kept their “door keys” to their homes in the hope of return.
The Palestinian experience, unparalleled and not well understood, has forced each individual to reaffirm, over and over, his and her presence, prove his and her identity and defend his and her rights. Each was forced to develop the self within the collective identity in spite of, rather than because of, circumstances of division, dispersion and exile.
Thus, as a way to look into and bring alive the Palestinian "memory", we decided at PASSIA to record the biographies of around 1,000 Palestinians from different political eras. They are men and women with special characteristics. They are people who agreed or differed but together form this Palestinian "memory" of the homeland and its identity.
It was not easy to select, gather and study the biographies of so many from 100 years of the Palestinian national movement. However, the task proved to be exciting and enjoyable. These biographies represent a major source for the study and understanding of Palestinian society and its development, but not only for researchers in sociology or political history, also for those interested in the cause of Palestine in the past, the present and the future, and for all those who believe in the justice of that cause.
I personally had the chance to follow with great interest the lives of many of these people. I knew some of them very well and others only from a distance. I consider myself lucky to have been able to study their characters, without passing judgment. I gained information about many of them from the Arab Palestinian library, from political documents, from personal diaries and from direct and indirect personal interviews. Much has also been gained from what was recorded by those of our predecessors who engaged in a similar task, without which our’s could well have become an impossible mission.
It was not difficult to convince others of the importance of recording accurate information on each of the individuals included. The research team at Passia created a standard form that enabled us to record the basic details - the full name, date of birth, education, work history, and main achievements - of each person in chronological order without attempting to highlight the virtues or conceal any negative aspects. The methodology ruled out any possibility of honoring or praising one above another and in the interests of completing the task to schedule brevity was essential.
The result is both a feast of information and a valuable record. It has been a collective endeavor and the whole team at PASSIA deserves recognition for their hard work and commitment, in particular researcher Ms. Elise Aghazarian for her devotion and intellectual input, which I deeply value, and Mr. Mahmoud Abu Rmeileh, who superbly handled the tasks of image archiving, layout, and design.
Two final points: I extend my deepest apologies for any unintentional mistake that might appear. This was a monumental effort and I hope we shall be able to produce a second edition to correct whatever errors or remedy omissions occurred in this the first edition.
My thanks go to the Japanese Representative Office in the West Bank and the Japanese Embassy in Tel Aviv for their contribution through the UNDP offices in Jerusalem, which ensured that this project became a reality and which allowed for the printing of the first edition (2005). Many thanks go also to the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) in Jerusalem, whose support for the printing of the second edition (2006) is highly appreciated.

RETRO KIMMER'S BLOG: MOTT THE HOOPLE NEW WORLD TOUR!!
From 1969 to 1973, Mott The Hoople were a two-headed beast, with songwriting duties split between Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs, as well as the odd notable exception from Verden Allen. By the end of 1973, Mick and Verden had both left the band to see what else was out there for them. This left Ian Hunter as the sole songwriter, with the notable exception of Overend Watts fan favorite, ‘Born Late ’58’.
With Hunter now given free reign, 1974’s “The Hoople” explored ideas and concepts that are now widely credited as having influenced everyone from the punk movement to Queen, with the latter supporting the band and cited by Brian May as the only band that Queen ever supported. 1974 was also arguably Mott’s most intensely creative period with the studio album, four hit singles – ‘Roll Away The Stone’, ‘The Golden Age Of Rock ’n’ Roll’, ‘Foxy Foxy’ and ‘Saturday Gigs’ - plus a live album, half of which was taken from their week long stint at the Uris Theatre, Broadway.
The live album highlighted the talents of Mick and Verden’s replacements - Ariel Bender and Morgan Fisher respectively, who breathed new life into classics and crowd favorites alike, ‘All The Young Dudes’, ‘All The Way From Memphis’, ‘Honaloochie Boogie’, ‘Rose’, ‘Rest In Peace’ and ‘Walking With A Mountain’ forming the core of the live al-bum.
