At just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. 16 He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen.

Through a Glass Darkly: the ICC, the UNSC and the Quest for Justice in International Law
Nada Ali
Despite the aspirations of the International Criminal Court (ICC), it is unlikely to achieve an end to impunity for crimes of concern to the international community without acknowledgement of and due engagement with the politics of international criminal law. A major threat to the legitimacy of the Court is its relationship with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). UNSC referrals of conflict situations under Article 13(b) of the Rome Statute remain subject to geo-political considerations. The exercise is thus arbitrary at best, and may render the ICC an instrument of political coercion at worst. An apolitical approach to conflicts given this context is almost antithetical to justice and has already given rise to tensions between the Court and some affected member states. Managing the asymmetry created by UNSC referrals and rethinking its seemingly unjustified encroachment in the affairs of less influential states should become the priority for the Court.

Keith and Kristyn Getty, Sing! How Worship Transforms your Life, Family and Church, Nashville TN: B&H Books, 2017. 176 pages hardback.
ISBN: 9781462742660. Not yet in Public Libraries.
What an encouragement to be told that Christians must sing: for the Gettys, congregational singing is both privilege and obligation. They point to many places in the Bible where we are commanded to sing, and, while conceding a place in worship for song as performance, their focus in Sing! is on the central place of congregational singing.
The Gettys make a living from writing and performing songs and encouraging the Body of Christ in music. Many of us have sung their In Christ Alone, an example of a singable melody and strong Biblical content. The chapter headings of Sing! assert that we are created to sing, commanded to sing and compelled to sing. We are to sing with heart and mind, with our family and with our local church. They write of the radical witness when congregations sing, and in a series of 'bonus tracks' provide checklists for pastors and elders, for worship and song leaders, for musicians and for songwriters and 'creatives'.
Each chapter is followed by questions for reflection or discussion in a study group. Sing! would work well as a book club discussion, or a study for the whole congregation.
Sing! invites Christians to consider the first principles of congregational singing. It critiques performances that do not help the congregation to sing. The Gettys affirm the wisdom of a familiar repertoire, limiting the number of new songs and hymns.
In many congregations the idea that singing is compulsory will be controversial. As a musician and priest, however, I am pleased that the case for singing is put so strongly. How much stronger in faith singing congregations can be. How much stronger in faith are families and individuals who sing or listen to the songs and hymns they have sung in church on Sunday. And how much joy is evoked by the beauty and artistry of good music and poetry.
Sing! is not primarily for pastors and worship leaders. They don't need convincing. A resource for all Christians Sing! will encourage all of us to sing more heartily.


Using a short straight stitch, sew a line of stitches just under the seam allowance. So for a 5/8" seam allowance, sew the stay stitch at 1/2" (4/8"). I like to do this in a bold colour, as it helps as a guide in later stages.
The stay stitch will stop the curved edges from distorting, but I have found that it also stops the fabric from wanting to pucker and fold while you sew the bodice together. It is extra time but it is so worth it!
Snip the straighter sider of the panels – so this would be the front bodice center, and the center back pieces. Snip in approximately 1.5cm sections from the armhole down to just below the notch. This really helps to ease the shorter, straighter panel to the more curved side panel.
Matching the notch, bodice bottom, and armhole, pin the two panels together, using the snips made in the previous step to assist with easing the fabric.
Below the notch down to the bottom of the bodice would need little or no easing.
Using a normal straight stitch, sew the panel pieces together. Sew with the center bodice piece facing upwards (the snipped panel). This is the panel that is more likely to pucker and fold, so sewing with it at the top allows you to notice before it happens, and will hopefully avoid the need for that dreaded seam ripper.
I find the stay stitch a really helpful guide when sewing the bodice pieces together.
And VOILA… A Princess seam bodice!
Hope this helps make princess seams less daunting for you! Good luck.


I've searched both the U.S. and Pennsylvania constitutions and I can't find it. Where is it written government must grow each and every year? Why isn't government expected to live within its means just like people and businesses?
It took 51 sessions of Congress to pass a $1 billion budget — the "Billion Dollar Congress" of 1889. The first $1 trillion federal budget came in 1987. Today, Pennsylvania spends well over $1 billion on debt service alone.
In 1970, spending for a population of 11,800,766 was $357.15 per person. Our current budget will spend $32,714,991,000 to serve a population of 12,823,989, or $2,551.08 per person. Spending increased 614 percent while population grew by just 9 percent.
In 2007, welfare and education represented two-thirds of the budget. Education funding increased 6.2 percent (to $10.5 billion), including $5 billion for basic education (a $167 million increase).
Spending under the 2007-2008 state budget broke down to $74,410,958 a day, $3,100,456 an hour, $51,674 per minute, and $861 each second.
Under the 2018-2019 state budget, the commonwealth will spend $32,714,991,000, a 2.2 percent increase over last year: $89,630,112 a day, $3,734,588 an hour, $62,243 per minute, and $1,037 per second. Imagine ten $100 bills passing through your hands every second. That's how much the commonwealth is spending.
From my first year in office until now, the general fund has increased by more than half a billion dollars a year — a 20.45 percent increase, from $27.1 billion to $32.7 billion.
I also co-sponsored legislation to require zero-based budgeting to justify each dollar of spending. Agencies should prove the legal need for their actions, quantitatively estimate adverse impacts should these activities be discontinued, and itemize each expenditure.
This year, the General Assembly and Gov. Tom Wolf took a step toward "performance based budgeting" to require departments and agencies to justify budget requests for all existing and proposed programs before receiving any funding.


Remember a few days ago when I wrote about a comet that was not going to hit the Earth? Well, it turns out that even minus an impact, this is a pretty interesting object.
The comet's full name (take a deep breath) is 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann. It was discovered in 1930, lost for a while, then recovered in 1979. In 1995, it broke apart into several pieces.
The exact cause is a mystery, though there are plenty of reason why a comet would fall apart. Comets are made of rock and ice. When they get near the Sun, the ice sublimates-- turns directly into a gas -- and flows into space, which is why comets look fuzzy in pictures. The actual nucleus, the solid part, is very small, but the coma, the fuzzy part, can be thousands of miles across.
It makes sense that after repeated passes of the Sun, enough ice is lost to venting that the structure of the comet can be fragile, since the ice in a way is holding the comet nucleus together. Once enough ice is gone, a breakup could occur if the sublimating ice builds up enough pressure to disrupt the structure. But that is just one explanation. The famous comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke apart because of the immense tidal forces of Jupiter's gravity. Most comets don't break apart; look at comet Halley, which has been circling the Sun for a long, long time (it was seen in ancient times). It goes to show that some comets are very fragile, and some are not.
In my other blog entry, I talked about why we won't get hit by this comet. It's simply too far away to get any pieces of any real size to hit us. The nearest they'll get, in mid-May, is about 9 million kilometers (5.5 million miles). I got an email from a reader who asked me why, then, does the JPL page which tracks Near Earth Objects give a miss distance of only about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) for fragment 3-AL? Well, conspiracy aside, that's still a fairly comfortable margin -- though I'd be happier with a bigger number! However, I am happier, because that is a statistical lower bound to the minimum distance. The far more likely miss distance is 9.4 million kilometers (about 6 million miles). We're pretty safe.

Nov. 25, 2013 — A novel approach to treating children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder could help them navigate their world by teaching them to turn their symptoms into strengths.
In the article "Symptoms as Solutions: Hypnosis and Biofeedback for Autonomic Regulation in Autism Spectrum Disorders," published in the winter edition of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, Dr. Laurence Sugarman, a pediatrician and researcher at Rochester Institute of Technology, details a treatment method that teaches affected children how to control their psychophysiology and behavior using computerized biofeedback and clinical hypnosis.
The article coincides with the publication of the second edition of Sugarman's textbook, Therapeutic Hypnosis with Children and Adolescents, Crown House Publishing, 2013, written with William Wester.
Sugarman's model is tied to learning to self-regulate the autonomic nervous system -- including the fight or flight mechanism -- that, for many people with autism, is an engine idling on high.
"Teaching kids with autism spectrum disorder skills in turning down their fight or flight response and turning up the opposite may fundamentally allow them to be more socially engaging, decrease some of the need for cognitive rigidity and repetitive behaviors and, more importantly, allow them to feel better," says Sugarman, director of RIT's Center for Applied Psychophysiology and Self-regulation in the Institute for Health Sciences and Technology.
His treatment model underlies three ongoing projects at the center involving different age groups: teaching coping skills to RIT students with anxiety or autism; developing a computer-based role-playing game using autonomous biofeedback for teenagers; and creating a new service and research program for family members with autism for AutismUp (formerly Upstate New York Families for Effective Autism Treatment). The latter, called the Parent Effectiveness Program, began this fall and will repeat in the spring. The study trains parents of young children diagnosed with autism and measures results of their training on the behaviors of their affected children.
Sugarman developed his method in response to the rise in autism spectrum disorders he has witnessed in his 30 years working with children in primary care and, then, in developmental behavioral pediatrics at the Easter Seals Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Rochester. Instead of trying to change the symptoms associated with autism, his approach recognizes the symptoms as an effort to self-regulate inner turmoil.
The treatment integrates autonomic biofeedback and clinical hypnosis into his therapy. Sensors attached to his patients measure respiration, perspiration, heart rate and variation, and blood flow/circulation. Children with autism learn to correlate the signals and visual representations displayed on the computer screen (the "Dynamic Feedback Signal Set") with their emotions. During therapy sessions, the children practice changing their feedback response and learn to manipulate their own internal wiring. Sugarman uses clinical hypnosis to generalize and internalize feedback techniques -- discerning situations and controlling their responses -- into their daily lives.
Sugarman is a proponent of clinical hypnosis. He is the past-president of the American Board of Medical Hypnosis, the credentialing body for competency in clinical hypnosis for physicians in the United States. He also has a long association with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis as an approved consultant, fellow in clinical hypnosis, past vice president and past co-director of education for the society.
"Hypnosis is a 250-year-old Western study of how social influence and internal physiology can be changed," he says. "Mindfulness is a slice of this."
Sugarman teaches pediatric hypnosis workshops around the world. This fall, he presented at the Regional Center for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Oslo, Norway, and the Milton Erickson Geselleschaft in Heidelberg, Germany. In Heidelberg, Sugarman also presented his treatment model and research using biofeedback and hypnosis with children with autism receiving "very affirmative responses."
"We think we can make a big difference for young people with autism spectrum disorder," Sugarman says. "The need is there."

The last crop of F-16 crewchiefs trained at Luke AFB, Ariz., graduated from their final phase of training there on Nov. 23, officials announced. "Every F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chief has gone through our program for the last 21 years," MSgt. Paul Engram, 372nd Training Squadron, Det. 12 noncommissioned officer-in-charge, said in a release. The schoolhouse is moving to Holloman AFB, N. M., to join the two F-16 pilot training squadrons that have already transferred there to make room for F-35 training at Luke. Crewchiefs completed "hot training" at Luke—learning to launch and recover operational aircraft—after several months of academic, and static maintenance training at Sheppard AFB, Texas. The schoolhouse trained 11,840 crewchiefs since the program located to Luke in 1994. F-35 Lightning II crewchiefs will begin training at Luke in 2017, according to the release.


"What, Bethany?" you ask. "Have you surrendered your principles?"
No, it's not what you think. Read on.
A few years ago, I dated this guy who was the worst. He was the type of guy who would be all, "Let's do something Friday!" and then Friday would roll around and he would suddenly cancel with some weird explanation about him just being too afraid to love and be loved. And then a week would go by, and he would call me out of the blue and apologize and insist on doing something spontaneous and romantic immediately. In retrospect, I'm not even sure we were dating as much as playing some weird, real-life version of Whack-a-Mole. But this guy did love one thing, and that thing was this script he was working on. "Working on my script" was his excuse for everything.
Me: We had plans last night. Where were you?
Him: Oh, sorry. I was working on my script and fell asleep.
Me: Did you still want to see that movie on Friday?
Him: I have to cancel. I need to work on my script.
Me: Someone used up all the toothpaste.
Him: What? I can't hear you talking over my script.
As our [Whack-a-Mole] relationship began to deteriorate, I slowly came to loathe that script. And he became more and more insane.
Me: How's the script going?
Him: Fine. I'm making great progress.
Him: You mentioned my script? To people? HOW DARE YOU? You are forbidden to speak of the script to anyone. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go fashion a new foil helmet for myself and drink all of the jars of urine in my refrigerator.
When things finally ended, I was unsurprised but in a lot of pain. I was already in therapy at the time, having escaped an emotional abuser the year before. I was a bit like one of those broken eggshells you can't see until you try to take it out of the carton and it goes everywhere and ruins your breakfast. It honestly wasn't going to take much to send me back down into a spiral of pain. So, even though the relationship was short, my pain was not.
But there was one thing that gave me comfort during the months afterward, and that thing is Seth MacFarlane.
This guy I dated went to school with Seth MacFarlane. And after they graduated, Seth became wildly successful, and this guy did not, no matter how hard he typed away on that god-forsaken, never-ending script. He had even sent him his resume being like, "Hey, remember me?" and got no response. It was kind of a bitter sticking point for him. But after things went south with our horrible relationship, I used to post passive-aggressive Family Guy clips on my Facebook. At least until he finally unfriended me. And then I got over it and moved on.
So, as sexist and racist and every other word ending in -cist you can think of Seth MacFarlane was on the Academy Awards last night, he has provided me some of the best, most therapeutic chuckles of my life. He will always have a special place in my heart. Which is luckily not where I keep my principles. Those are in my sock drawer.

Harry Babcock (eigentlich Harold Stoddard Babcock; * 15. Dezember 1890 in Pelham Manor, New York; † 5. Juni 1965 in Norwalk, Connecticut) war ein US-amerikanischer Stabhochspringer und Olympiasieger.

1911 war Babcock mit 3,86 Metern Weltjahresbester, der inoffizielle Weltrekord von Leyland Scott stand bei 3,93 Meter.

Die offiziellen Weltrekorde wurden erst im Jahr darauf eingeführt. Der US-Amerikaner Marc Wright wurde mit 4,02 Meter, aufgestellt bei den US-Trials, der erste offizielle Weltrekordler. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1912 in Stockholm reichten Wright aber 3,85 Meter nur zur Silbermedaille. Denn Babcock übersprang 3,95 Meter und gewann Gold. Babcock trat auch im Zehnkampf an, gab aber nach drei Wettbewerben auf.

Harry Babcock war 1,88 m groß und wog in seiner aktiven Zeit 75 kg. Er hatte einen Abschluss als Ingenieur der Columbia University und arbeitete als Holzhändler in Irvington (New York).

Pole Position remade in 3D with original game logic
Rob Beschizza 9:18 am Thu Jul 25, 2019
PPEngine isn't just a 3D remake of the 1982 arcade game Pole Position, but a complete reverse-engineering of the original game's code. The result is something truly uncanny, following all the plays, beats and moves of the classic but rendering it with modern high-definition lowpoly graphics.
Creator Jonathan Thomas described his plan on Reddit:
I started back in 2013 reverse engineering the code from the original arcade ROM with the help of the MAME debugger and some primitive self-made tools to analyse instruction traces and create assembly source files that could be assembled back to the original arcade ROM.
Following this, I worked through the assembly source file to produce a portable C-based library containing the game logic for Pole Position. This library was used in two projects – the one you see here, and another project to convert Pole Position to the Atari ST – a 16-bit computer that was released in 1985.
Thomas also used the reverse-engineered code to create a near-perfect conversion to the Atari STE home computer. Gen X surely remembers how often home ports of arcade games were crudely remade from scratch, ending up as completely different games behind a facade of graphical similarity, so this'll be bittersweet viewing for some:

HESPERIA: (VVNG) – On Thursday, May 15th, at approximately 4:30 a.m. a fatal accident occurred taking the lives of two Victorville residents.
The two deceased were a couple who were very much in love and planning their marriage. 36-year-old Stefanie (Lori) Aquino and 33-year-old Joseph William Carver were driving Southbound on Oakwood Ave., Carver was the driver and Aquino, the passenger of the 2014 Kia Rio. The Kia failed to stop at the stop sign ultimately causing the fatal collision.
Driver, Joseph William Carver was pronounced dead at the scene, Stefanie Aquino had been ejected from the vehicle leaving her with major injuries. Aquino was subsequently airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in the city of Colton, CA. where she later died from the injuries sustained in the collision. The driver of the second vehicle, a 2000 Ford SUV, was transported by ambulance to a local hospital to treat moderate injuries he sustained in the accident.
This beautiful couple will be missed by family and friends. In a Facebook post written by Joseph Carver on May 14th, just a day before the accident, he expressed his love for Stefanie (Lori) Aquino and in turn she also reciprocated with her words of love for him.
The family of Stefanie expressed their sadness and shock about this accident taking their loved one's life. Her family has expressed their wish to provide more information about their loved one, but have asked for some time to get their thoughts together before doing so. We will update with the information when it is provided to us.

Though some Pitt runners brought home personal bests from the ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend in Clemson, South Carolina, the men's and women's teams both struggled overall.
Senior Desiree Garland made program history Saturday, earning Pitt's first-ever ACC women's indoor track and field gold medal.
Clocking in at 53.16 seconds in the 400m dash, Garland also earned herself a spot on the All-ACC women's indoor first team, becoming the first Panther to do so. Her win marked the fourth overall ACC indoor title in program history and the third ACC indoor individual championship.
As a team, the Pitt women placed 12th out of 14 in the meet, tying their highest point total since joining the ACC in 2013 with 26. Junior Miranda Salvo contributed with a personal best 4:46:08 in the women's mile, placing sixth and earning All-ACC second team honors for the first time in her career.
The men's team didn't fare well either, placing last overall with nine points. First years Jabari Michael-Khensu and Ade Jones-Roundtree placed fifth and eighth, respectively, in the men's 200m dash. Michael-Khensu finished in 21.10 seconds, good enough to earn All-ACC second team honors for the first time in his short career.
The Panthers currently await results from the weekend's action around the country to find out if they qualify for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Pitt's outdoor season begins March 16 in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the 49er Classic.

Christian Family Gets 5 Children Taken Away by Gov't for Teaching God Punishes Sin
CP World | Friday, December 04, 2015
By Samuel Smith, Deputy Managing Editor | Friday, December 04, 2015
The Bodnariu family. | (Photo: Facebook/Norway, Return the children to Bodnariu Family)
Child welfare services in Norway have reportedly removed five Christian children from their parents' home and placed them into foster care after the parents were accused of radicalizing and indoctrinating their children with Christianity.
According to the British-based Christian Institute, Norway's child protection services, known as the Barnevernet, seized the three sons and two daughters of Ruth and Marius Bodnariu in mid-November.
Although the family wasn't quite sure at the time why their children were being taken away from them, their lawyer discovered that the parents were being charged with Christian indoctrination.
The family's ordeal began on Nov. 16 when the Barnevernet took the Bodnariu's two daughters out of school without their parents knowledge and moved them to an undisclosed location. Officials then went to the family's home, allegedly without documentation, and seized two of the sons and arrested Ruth, who took her baby son, Ezekiel, with her to the police station. Officials also went to Marius' work and arrested him.
After being interrogated for several hours, the parents and baby Ezekiel were freed and allowed to go home, but without the other children.
The next day, officials went back to the Bodnariu's home and took Ezekiel into custody on the grounds that Ruth was "dangerous."
According to the Institute, the parents were refused access to their older children over the following couple of weeks and told that their children had adapted well in their new foster home and "didn't miss their parents."
The Bodnariu's lawyer obtained a copy of the government document that lists the charges against Marius and Ruth, which includes being listed as "radical Christians who were indoctrinating their children."
The lawyer told the parents that the government agency had overstepped its legal boundaries by not providing documentation and by separating a mother from her breastfeeding baby.
A petition has been launched by supporters urging the Norwegian government to release the children back to their parents. The petition, which has over 27,000 signatures, states that when the parents were interrogated, they were told that they couldn't publicly reveal their situation "so they wouldn't aggravate their case."
"They are just a normal Christian family trying to raise their children in the knowledge of God!" the petition reads. "There is no documented or otherwise abuse of any kind in this family!"
A Facebook page was created to support the family and provides some insight into their case. Marius' brother, Daniel, posted on the page Wednesday that the social services investigation was prompted by a call from the principal of the daughters' school, who listed concerns about how the children were being raised, disciplined at home and the nature of the family's Christian faith.
Daniel explained that the principal cited how the parents, aunts, uncles and grandmother of the children believe that "God punishes sin."
"[The principal] does not believe them to be physically abused at home, she believes that the parents need 'help' and guidance from the Barnevernet into raising their children," the English translation of Daniel's post reads.
Daniel, who is a pastor, added that when investigators interrogated the girls about their home life, they girls admitted that they hide some things from their parents because they fear being pulled by the ear or spanked. Daniel added that the girls explicitly told investigators that although they might fear punishment, they do not fear their parents.
"There are many cases of abuse in [families], and of course these cases should be punished, but it is an enormous responsibility to be able to discern when the abuse truly exists and when it doesn't, because by not discerning appropriately you can destroy a family," Daniel's post asserts. "From the legal documents received in Marius and Ruth's case, it is clear that there are no signs of physical abuse; but that the (older) children stated that they were being punished."
"Who is to blame?" Daniel asked. "The law, that offers full authority to some people to intervene in the family and act as they see fit, or some social workers, who in the name of the welfare of the child (and possibly other benefits) destroy the family, and the child implicitly?"
The parents appeared for a hearing last Friday in which their appeal against the Barnevernet's actions were rejected. However, the Facebook page reports the couple will be granted visitation rights to Ezekiel twice per week for two hours at a time, while Ruth will be allowed to see her other sons once a week. The parents were denied contact with their daughters.
The family is still deciding the next course of legal action to take, the Christian Institute reports.

Very high quality product, easy order procedure, excellent email notifications and timely delivery. Could not ask for more. OSDisc.com sets a high standard for performing as advertised. Based on the great service I received on my first order, I just placed my second, of what will be several more orders.
I don't understand how you can give excellent support and some other computer companies can't? Why is that. I have NEVER, I MEAN NEVER had a problem with you wonderful folks! I think the major computer companies need to apply your business ethic.
The computer disc arrived safe and sound. I have been amazed and very well pleased at your level of service. It seems incredible that one can purchase such a low cost item and have it arrive half way around the world in a matter of a few days.
I work in a business where all we have to sell is service. I know what service is all about. Nobody beats OSDISC.com service and there products are just as good. I have bought lot of disc from them and going to buy some more. Great job guys keep up the great work.
I live in Canada and received my order within 10 days in excellent condition. This is my second time ordering from OSDisc. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in a linux system. I am trying different systems to see which I like the best.
This is a very fast and economical way to achieve this end.
OSDisc.com has become my main supplier for Linux distributions and utility disks. Every time I order CD's or DVD's from them, I receive a very consistent high quality, not only on the disks, but from their service. I don't bother downloading stuff any more. It's a real pleasure to have such a reliable source for ALL my software needs.
This was the first time I bought anything from osdisc.com and I'm happy to say that I'll continue to buy all my future distro's from them.
I paid for two to four day delivery and my items arrived within three days, not to mention the great quality of the os disc themselves which is simply outstanding.
I ordered Dsl, Puppy linux, and Simplymepis all arrived in perfect condition well secured and all three distro's function perfectly and far exceed my expectations.
Thank you osdisc for great a most appreciated service and I'm looking forward to Fedora 9 final release which will surely bring me back to this site for another purchase.
I love this place your fast friendly and great prices will keep coming back I have also let others know about your great service!
I placed my order and got it in six days. In Australia! An impeccable transaction from beginning to end.
The customer support is outstanding! You'll never go wrong with this site. Hopefully you can also offer some compilation of freeware and shareware freely avble in the net, this will save me time in downloading and selecting free and downloadable softwares, just my two cents!!!
I ordered 9 distros from OSDisc.com on 17 December. On 28 December they were delivered. Eleven days over the Christmas period - from USA to UK; wow!
Well packaged, as a lot and individually. Each CD is clearly marked with distro information on the CD - no nasty paper pasted onto the CD.
Quality service and quality products. Congratulations and thanks. I'll be back for more.
CentOS Server 4.3 - perfect! Shipped to ireland in 8 working days. I will definatly buy from you again.
I haven't gotten my discs yet, but that's understandable - I'm deployed to the desert. I sent them an email on a Saturday, asking a specific question about a specific release of a specific distro. I had my answer within eight hours. That's phenomenal. Just hope the shipping is as fast, which I think it will be. Job well done!
I bought a number of disks at a stunning price with quick free delivery, My starting point was a new homebuilt dual core pc that I loaded XP on with no problems but Fedora 7 wouldn't load I suspected it might be a hardware prob and told customer support who gave me excellent advice and pointed me in the right direction even though it was not a disk problem, so THANKS GUYS. THE PROBLEM WAS THE MOTHERBOARD CAME WITH ONE IDE CABLE AND I FOUND ONE FOR THE DVD IN MY BOX OF SPARES BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!

Glycation, glycoxidation, and cross-linking of collagen by glucose. Kinetics, mechanisms, and inhibition of late stages of the Maillard reaction
M X Fu, K J Wells-Knecht, J A Blackledge, T J Lyons, S R Thorpe, J W Baynes
The Maillard or browning reaction between sugar and protein contributes to the increased chemical modification and cross-linking of long-lived tissue proteins in diabetes. To evaluate the role of glycation and oxidation in these reactions, we have studied the effects of oxidative and antioxidative conditions and various types of inhibitors on the reaction of glucose with rat tail tendon collagen in phosphate buffer at physiological pH and temperature. The chemical modifications of collagen that were measured included fructoselysine, the glycoxidation products N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine and pentosidine and fluorescence. Collagen cross-linking was evaluated by analysis of cyanogen bromide peptides using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by changes in collagen solubilization on treatment with pepsin or sodium dodecylsulfate. Although glycation was unaffected, formation of glycoxidation products and cross-linking of collagen were inhibited by antioxidative conditions. The kinetics of formation of glycoxidation products proceeded with a short lag phase and were independent of the amount of Amadori adduct on the protein, suggesting that autoxidative degradation of glucose was a major contributor to glycoxidation and cross-linking reactions. Chelators, sulfhydryl compounds, antioxidants, and aminoguanidine also inhibited formation of glycoxidation products, generation of fluorescence, and cross-linking of collagen without significant effect on the extent of glycation of the protein. We conclude that autoxidation of glucose or Amadori compounds on protein plays a major role in the formation of glycoxidation products and cross-liking of collagen by glucose in vitro and that chelators, sulfhydryl compounds, antioxidants, and aminoguanidine act as uncouplers of glycation from subsequent glycoxidation and cross-linking reactions.

Criterion Collection Announcements For October 2011!!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Jul 19th, 2011
Hi Bryan Here…..
Criterion has announced six titles to be released for the month of October. It will be a great month for Criterion. Below you can see all the extras and synopsis of each film. Enjoy.
Sofia Coppola's New Film Takes Top Prize at Venice Film Festival
The Venice Film Festival headed by Quentin Tarantino awarded Sofia Coppola's movie "Somewhere" the Golden Lion which is the top award given at this film festival. Now I have enjoyed Sofia's past films including Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides, and for what it was Marie Antoinette.
"Somewhere stars Michelle Monaghan, Stephen Dorff, and Benicio Del Toro. Tarantino said "This was a film that enchanted us from our first screening…Yet from that first enchanting screening, it grew and grew and grew in both our hearts, in our analysis, in our minds, and in our affections." The jury's decision was unanimous.
"Somewhere" is about a hard living, hard working actor in LA who has to re-evaluate his life when his 11 year old daughter comes for a surprise visit.
If this movie is anything like Sofia's previous work then I no doubt will love this film and it will be loved by all.
And of course I look forward to the killer soundtrack this movie will be providing.
The trailer is below. Enjoy.

The Climate Reality Project's I Am Pro Snow Launches 100% Renewable Energy Campaign
The Climate Reality Project's I AM PRO SNOW Program commits in 2016 to build a coalition of 20 or more towns, ski resorts, and businesses committed to being powered by 100% RE by 2030
Washington, DC (12/8/15) – At the December 6 World Climate Summit panel in Paris where professional winter sports athletes, industry leaders, elected officials and key climate activists discussed how climate change is already impacting the winter sports and mountain community, the Climate Reality Project launched their 100% renewable energy campaign.
The initiative, orchestrated by The Climate Reality Project's I AM PRO SNOW program, will encourage ski resorts, towns, businesses, and other mountain communities around the world to commit to being powered by 100% Renewable Energy by 2030 in the next year.
With the backing of over 193,000 global mountain voices, I AM PRO SNOW has already begun its outreach to communities worldwide with incredible success. Following the recent completion of its 100% renewable energy goal in Aspen, and through a combined effort, Park City, Utah has recently announced that it will reach net-zero emissions by 2032.
"Climate change has already begun to impact winter sports, mountain communities and winter-centric industries," said Ken Berlin President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project. "I had the honor this week of participating in the World Climate Summit panel in conjunction with COP 21 and it is clear that the time to take a stand, is now. The snow-dependent industry is on the frontlines of climate change with significant economic and environmental implications. Commitments from these communities to combat climate change is a way to ramp up ambitions for channeling the passion of the winter sports and mountain communities into global climate action."
"Mountain communities across the globe are seeing the impact of climate change first hand and now have the chance to be a part of the climate change solution, to lead other communities towards 100% renewable energy," said Bryn Carey, resident of Park City Utah, President of Ski Butlers, and Climate Reality Leader. "Our hope is that we can take the success we have had in Park City, UT, committing to net zero emissions, and share it with other mountain communities, regions and states around the world."
"Park City is very excited about our new energy goals, to be net zero in the municipal by 2022, and community wide by 2032. We are a progressive community with close ties to our natural environment. Both our quality of life and economy depend upon snow and moderate summer temperatures, so we're hoping to both serve as an example and lead other communities to protect their natural environment and reduce their carbon footprint as well." Andy Beerman, Council Member Park City Utah. One of the leading advocates for the net zero initiative in Park City.
"The City of Aspen worked for years to power its electric utility with 100% renewable energy", said Steve Skadron, Mayor of Aspen, Colorado. "This year, we reached our goal and couldn't be prouder. We're finding its practical, profitable and improves quality of life. We hope our example pushes other cities and businesses across the nation to do the same."

How people experience music today has drastically changed over the last couple of decades. This generation has seen music go from cassette tapes, to CDs, to MP3 players, digital ownership and now digital streaming. Not only that has changed, because of today's technology, how music is made has changed drastically. While the musical geniuses of yester years only had their instruments to play with, nowadays we can even record animal sounds and incorporate them to music. We're recording whales nowadays for Pete's sake!
Below are some trivia about where music currently is today.
For the first time ever in 2014 the music industry derived the same revenue from digital channels and physical format sales. Music sales used to be largely about how many records, as in physical records, artists could sell. Now, the digital age has made it possible to not only buy albums online but to choose which songs you'd like to purchase.
Where do People Listen to Music?
What Genres are People Listening To?
According to a Nielsen study, rock ruled the air waves in 2014. This comes as no surprise as rock is one of the consistent performers when it comes to genre popularity. Rock, as you may or may not know, is one of the older genres. It first emerged in the 1940s as a sort of lovechild of the blues and country music. It became a full-fledged genre in the 1950s and became the most popular type of music of that decade especially in the US and in the UK.
As you can see, streaming has become the most popular way of consuming music among the current generation. Online streaming has exploded in the last couple of years, but why has it become so popular?
About 75% of people who listen to music say that they also listen to music online here are some of the reasons why: 83% stream music because it's affordable. Never has music been cheaper. From $0.55 per minute in 1977 (vinyl) music can now cost up to approximately $0/minute via grooveshark. 82% stream music because of how accessible and easy to use it is and 73% report that they prefer streaming songs online because of the wealth of songs available online..


Yesterday was my day of atonement and boy was I paying for every bit of Sunday! While I was writing my post yesterday I actually thought that I might just have got away with having a day out of routine, my extra activity and just enjoying myself, well at least until I was writing the last paragraph, I remember starting to feel dizzy but that is quite a normal thing, MS often = dizzy. Years ago I would get the most horrendous spells of dizziness, where I had absolutely no choice but to go and lie down and wait and wait for it to pass, but as time went on they became something of the past and at worst something that I had to put up with for short spells. I thought of it as being something that belonged to the early years and something that was around at exactly the wrong time, when my children were small. Pinning little ones somewhere where they won't just scream their heads off, whilst lying on your bed unable to move, isn't easy, screaming just made you feel even worse as it was something you instinctively you want to answer but knowing that if you stood up, you would reach the floor before you reached them.
I think I started feeling wrong around 10 o'clock, dizziness isn't just that horrid feeling that we all know from spinning round, but when you are hit by the MS version, it just grows and grows, managing to make you feel like you are going to throw up, it is all the bad side of alcohol without any of the good. Just like being drunk, it doesn't go away when you lie down, it goes away when it is ready. I managed to push through until about 12:30, by which time I was more than just green around the gills, I was positively green from head to toe and I simply couldn't stand another second of it in a vertical position, bed was the only possible answer. I lay there for two hours, unable to sleep, that isn't a possibility either, you just lie there with your entire body in a spin and with a growing desire to die. At it's very worst there are lights flickering and flashing on the inside of your eyelids, I suppose it must be a bit like a migraine but with one huge difference, no headache at all, just a world that defies your every demand to stop and stay still. I think over the years I have tried everything, with little assistance other than using the system I use to relax my body to put myself to sleep. I have tried to work out what it is that works about it and the only thing I can think of is that it gives you something to hold onto while you wait. I can't see for the life of my how telling each muscle group in turn to relax, stops the world spinning, but working through your body keeps your mind working on something and if like yesterday, you complete it and reach your head, well you go back to your toes and start again, but you get there, it starts to break and you can, at last, rejoin the world. I don't actually think that it has totally gone yet, I have had a mild hangover ever since and no I didn't get drunk afterwards, what I mean is that ever since there is still this slight sensation that things are on the move and that it could all fly into action without warning.
It is symptoms like that, that make leading a normal life for anyone with MS, difficult, you never know when or if it will start, you could be at work, out shopping or just out enjoying yourself, places where lying down aren't an option, what do you do then? It was all easier when my MS was relapse remitting, OK no one believed me that there was anything wrong, but I at least knew there was a chance whilst things were wrong, that anything could happen and once it had gone for a while, I was safe and could live until it happened again sometime in the future. Turning progressive destroyed so much of my life and even when others couldn't understand why. We all have to make a living, so for those hours you are in the office, well you push on and if you have good employers and it turns into a bad day, you go home and catch up on your work when you are better. But you can't catch up on a social life, you can't say stop the wedding I'm going home now and I'll be back when it's better so stay where you are. You can agree to going anywhere and as it gets worse, you don't go anywhere as that precious energy is needed for work and caring for your home. Then it gets worse again and more and more and more just has to go. You become housebound, not because you can't get down the steps or you can't walk, you stop going out as everything you have has to go into earning a living, you are housebound outside of work, then that eventually goes as well.
I think it would be fair to say I haven't had a dizzy spell like yesterday for over 15 years, less aggressive ones probably 4 years, I stupidly thought they had gone, that I had grown out of them if you like, it just shows you nothing is ever gone and the only thing you can say about MS with certainty is that absolutely nothing is certain.
Please read my blog from 2 years ago today – 05/08/12 – You can only be defeated if you are at war.
I woke this morning yet again to a body filled with pain, I do still have a vague memory of actually waking feeling great and being able to get out of my bed without having to think about which limb I should move first and which one will be least painful. I am beginning to think I am never going to have….

Alexander Corazzo: Untitled #10, 1936
Alexander Corazzo
Untitled #10, 1936
Oil on canvas, 191/4 x 25 in.
This abstract painting creates a space fractured into several colorful, flattened planes, like puzzle pieces that project and recede. Ribbon-like shapes weave through the composition changing color as they move. Small circles punctuate the rhythmic pattern.
This small painting was created as part of the U.S. government's Works Progress Administration programs for visual artists. WPA programs sought to help unemployed people during the Great Depression of the 1930s and included providing federal money to fund the work of artists across the country. The art of the WPA was usually realistic in style. Corazzo was one of the WPA artists who continued to paint in a completely abstract style during the 1930s.
Alexander Corazzo was born in France and came to Minnesota in the early 1930s. Trained both in music and civil engineering, he studied painting with Cameron Booth (whose artwork also is in this packet). Corazzo was interested in geometric images and fascinated by abstract art. He painted in this style through the early 1940s. Like fellow artist Stuart Davis, Corazzo worked to create an ordered, structured reality in and through his painting. As Davis put it, "Abstract art is not just a method, a technique, or a style, but it is a point of view, an attitude toward reality."
Corazzo later moved to Chicago and studied architecture at what was called the New Bauhaus led by Mies Van Der Rohe. By the outbreak of World War II in the 1940s, Corazzo had ended his work in abstract painting to turn fully to a career as an architect.
Abstract – a style of art that does not directly mimic the appearance of objects from the natural world, hut instead is composed of simplified shapes, forms, or color to express ideas, experience, or emotion.
Architect-a person who designs buildings and other spaces where people live and work.
Bauhaus-a German style of architecture begun in 1918 that stressed modern ideas about technology, used simple geometric forms, and celebrated the future. Bauhaus translated in to English means "built house." World War II forced leading German architects to escape to Chicago to continue their work, founding the New Bauhaus in the United States.


Five weeks into this little experiment … I will continue because the contributors are amazing … and I plan to add more in the future. Starting small is always best and work toward a final goal … but with writing and other artistic endeavors there really never is a final goal because art and literature are infinite.
My guest artist this week is Kevin Stickler a local artist and furniture maker … check him out!
My piece this week is a rant brought on by several incidents related to our current political situation and how people are treated. I am political to an extent, but when people are treated less than human I cannot and will not stay silent.
Next Tuesday, November 7th is election day. Let your voice be heard and VOTE. Most places currently have early voting for the rest of this week … find your polling place whether you vote early or on election day. Acquaint yourself with what is on your local ballot and exercise your constitutional right to being heard at the ballot box while it is still a constitutional right.
