Any good tips/tricks/tweaks for Windows?? I love finding new recipes to try..
Ok, here are a few that come to mind right now.
Windows Shortcuts
Did you know you can use the [Windows] button as a shortcut to many crucial system applications? These are my daily combinations for fast access:
[Win]+E - Opens (File) Explorer
[Win]+R - Opens the Run dialog
[Win]+F - Find file
[Win]+D - Show desktop
[Win]+[Break] - System properties
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Esc] - Task Manager (on newer versions)
Original tip: Improve your Run dialog
I invented this tip. It allows you to set short names for your programs, so that they can be easily accessed from the Run dialog.
To set up Run dialog (Windows+R) shortcuts on XP
Make the directory "c:\tools\".
Go Control Panel -> System -> Advanced (tab) -> Environment variables (button) -> System variables and edit the value of "Path" by APPENDING:
Note the ; in the beginning, this is required! Also note that you must APPEND this!Code:;c:\tools\
Next, copy all your favourite shortcuts or make new shortcuts to you fav. programs and copy them to c:\tools\. Shorten the shortcut names so that they are easy to type. Now you just need to press Win+R, and type the name to launch any file, folder or program!!!
Don't forget the PowerToys
If you're using WinXP, the new PowerToy graphing calculator is pretty cool, with high precision options...

haven't made savoury bread for a while… the main reason is because the family prefers sweet bakes vs savoury… but i presume no one can resist a nice, hot pork floss bun (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧
Ingredients (makes 5 lions)
125g bread flour
10g granulated sugar or trehalose
1g salt
10g milk powder
1/2 egg (c. 20g)
2g instant dry yeast
50g water
12g butter
– mix all ingredients (except butter) and knead till you get a soft dough
– add in softened butter and knead till window pane stage
– proof till dough doubles in size
– punch dough down, and divide into 5 portions of 33g and 11g dough each (i.e. in total 10 portions)
– rest dough for 10 mins
– shape 33g dough into a ball, and flatten 11g dough into a 7cm disc
– brush a bit of water on the circumference of the 11g dough and place the 33g ball on top of the disc. carefully seal the sides by pressing them (the sides) down so it attaches to the disc
– allow shaped dough to proof for another 40-50 mins
– brush dough with water, and paint lion expressions with melted chocolate
– bake for 13 mins in preheated oven of 180 degrees C
– allow bun to cool, and brush mayonnaise on the sides of the lion's face. sprinkle pork floss on top of mayonnaise
– serve warm
the steps may sound complicated, but it is a very easy bread to make… or simply use your favourite pork floss bun recipe (๑>ᴗ<๑)
happy tea time with Mr. Lion King Ψ(●◜ ཅ ◝●)Ψ

Here's why your business still needs a unique business card
Business cards – when someone mentions these words, the first thing that comes to mind are those rounded cardboard cards that look so dull and boring. However just like everything has changed with time, so have these business cards.
- +0
- +0
There is a school of thought that believes business cards are all about just getting your business address and contact details printed. But things are no longer the same. There are plenty of unique designs and printing options that have made business cards lot more than just a piece of paper having your business contact details.
There are service providers like Online Printing NYC that can offer creative designs in these business cards, which you never thought were possible. In fact, they can offer your same day business cards as well. And, these business cards can do lot more than you ever expected for your business. What's that? What are the unique designs and features, as well as benefits that these new style of business cards can bring along? Well, here is a look at all that and more –
1. Bring your creative side out
People love businesses that play cool. And, business cards are just one of the many ways to bring that cool and creative side out. No matter the type of business, having a creative card for it can instantly perk up the mood of the person at the receiving end of it; which can work great for your business.
So, to make sure that customers don't think of you as a boring and dull business owner, you need to have unique and creative business cards.
2. Leave a positive impression
First impression is the last impression. This is an age old saying and holds true even today. When you are interacting with someone and introducing your business, you need to make it a point to leave a great first impression. Custom business cards provide you that opportunity. Remember, your business card is going to be left as a reminder with your potential customer once you go away.
So in a way it is going to be the face of your business. And, you must make sure that it looks good.
3. Great for networking
Yes, we live in a world where everything is digital. From mobile apps to social media marketing and what not – everything is online. But that does not, by any means, reduce the importance of networking in person. These business cards provide you with a networking opportunity just like sending an invite to someone on your social media.
As a matter of fact, the comparison is quite vague because social media has emerged just recently whereas these same day business cards have been in use for networking for the past so many years.And, they still hold great importance.
4. Business marketing and branding
While you might be investing a good amount of money on marketing your business using traditional as well as digital strategies business cards can eventually fit in those efforts quite easily. Don't forget there is plenty of empty space present on the card which you can use not to suffice lot more than just your contact details.
So, these business cards, if crafted aptly, can work as a great marketing and branding tool for your business.
5. Stand out in the crowd
Last, but not the least, thing that you can do using these business cards is to make your business name pop up in the market. Remember – people like to things that are unique. You can collaborate with professional business card manufacturers and printers, who can even offer you overnight delivery, and create a unique business card that is lot more than just a rectangular cardboard.
And, these unique cards can eventually make your brand name pop up and stand out in the crowd!
There you have it – five of the top reasons why you need to invest smartly and surely in getting creative custom business cards for your business. If you want to avail all the benefits mentioned above, then going ahead and getting in touch with a professional business card printers and see what can be done to make the most of them!
So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get going with getting these business cards printed right away!

9th ESB prepares for deployments with mobility exercise
9th ESB prepares for deployments with mobility exercise
CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA, Japan -- Marines may receive the call to deploy to a crisis or contingency at any time, and maintaining operational readiness is the key to succeeding once they arrive. To maintain the high state of readiness demanded of all Marines, perfect practice is required.
Marines with Bulk Fuel Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, trained to increase their response time in the event of a call to action during a mobility exercise June 18 at Camp Hansen.
9th ESB organizes exercises to ensure the readiness of the unit in case a disaster strikes during the typhoon season on Okinawa, according to Gunnery Sgt. Ralph M. Wright, an operations chief with Bulk Fuel Company, 9th ESB, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
"Within a moment's notice a (typhoon) can occur anywhere in the region," said Wright, a Staten Island, New York, native. "Okinawa entered typhoon season this month, so we can be called upon to load up and deploy for support missions."
Once Okinawa enters typhoon season, III MEF units begin preparation for the possibility of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, according to Cpl. Matthew D. Wilson, a bulk fuel specialist with the battalion.
"Two years ago in Thailand, the Royal Thai Air Force was grounded because their entire airport was (flooded with) four feet of water," said Wilson, a Coeur d'Alene, Indiana, native. "We went there with our pumps and moved water out of the airport."
During the mobility training, many of the Marines spent a substantial amount of time inspecting and repairing the equipment used to redirect water, according to Lance Cpl. Benjamin D. Worster, a bulk fuel specialist with the battalion.
"It's important that our gear is perfect, up to date and (functional)," said Worster, a Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, native. "When we get out there we won't have the problem of having to find things and fix it."
For some of the Marines with the unit, this was their first mobility exercise, but that did not slow down the effort, according to Wright.
"They just came out of training, and they look forward to (deployments)," said Wright. "They're excited; in the back of their minds, 'I'm going to leave Okinawa and go to another country to make a difference while doing my job.'"
During Operation Damayan, the U.S. military's response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Republic of the Philippines, the rapid deployment of critical pieces of equipment demonstrated the importance of having a plan ready and fresh in everyone's minds.
"I can see us doing this once a quarter to keep our readiness up," said Wilson. "We're expecting new (Marines), and they won't have this experience. I expect them to run this again to tighten those loose screws and show the new guys how it's done."
To maintain these lifesaving skills, units based in the Pacific will continue to train to a high level of readiness for any possible scenario, according to Wright.
"Being in this region, it's not a matter of 'if,' but it's a matter of 'when' (we're needed)," said Wright.

We provide many cool features for confessions exclusively for premium usersGo Premium
Try our premium features for just 1€
Well, I'm just basically a power addict slut. I'm always desperate to be in power positions at any rate. I want to be in control of everything, not even to make it be the way I want to. I just want to control, not to change things. It makes me be in embarassing situations too often, and sometimes I hurt people without noticing. Th thing is, I don't really care. I believe that the way I put things up is the best way to everyone. It kinda applies ro sexual settings too. I always wanted to try BDSM, but I still a virgin, for the very same reason.. I don't want to show people my "weak" or "embarassing" sides. It makes me want to puke when I imagine myself having sex with a nornal person, so I basically just want still like this until I find someone with the .... normal person
My two young Nephews are using me as their slut and slave, they have done it for about 6 months now...
They come to my house whenever they want now, tie me up, fuck me, made me get my nipples, clit and cunt lips pierced, humiliate me in many ways.. for example walking me on a leash on all fours, control what i wear etc etc... they also share me with their friends and gang bang me outdoors in the woods...
i just can't help getting wet and horny when i am being treated like this... God if my family or friends would find out, especially my son or my sister...
Mmm amazing.
I do this with my step daughters friend.
She is 14 and so naughty.
That's awesome. Let them use you any way they want. Tell them up front that you can't say no to anything but they have to keep it quiet. How old are you and how old are they roughly.
would love to read or hear more..love family sluts
Are you a girl or a boy?
How old are you and how old are your nephews?
You're an inspirational aunt.
I've been living at my friends house for three years now with her and her dad. As far as she knows, I pay $600 for room and board, but I actually pay nothing. The reason I don't pay rent is because of an agreement with her dad. I live rent free if I allow him to strip me naked anytime he wants. My friend has no clue.
I confess- my ex fuck-buddy turned me into his little slut and I both hate and love him for it. Before I met him, I never would have dreamed of doing what he made me do, and now I find myself craving to be treated like a little slut again.
It started about 5 or 6 years ago. We were, as I said, fuck buddies. At first he would ask me to send him pics, something I never thought I'd do, but there's something about him I just couldn't say no to. He'd get me to dress up in little outfits. I started out coyly, not giving away too much. After a while, I was sending him full on pussy shots, pics of me masturbating and doing what he told me. One day he shared his fantasy that he wanted to use me as his slave- his little fuck toy to do with as he pleased. I was unsure at first, but found myself beginning to fantasize about it, so I agreed. I met him at his apartment and brought everything he told me to- outfits, sex toys, etc. Looking back I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into. I dressed up for him and it wasn't long before he was throwing me around- it was rougher than I expected. He tied my hands behind my back and pulled my hair and made me get on my knees. He forced his huge cock down my throat and instructed me to deep throat him, then lick and play with his balls. He slapped his cock across my face, then I'd choke on him some more. Next, he forced me to my feet and made me ride his cock as he pulled my hair and slapped my face. He spit in my mouth and told me to tell him I was his little slut. I could barely speak, I think I was in shock at how rough it was. He then lay me on my side and fucked me from behind while choking me and calling me his little slut and good girl. Afterwards I went home as I couldn't stay at his place- and I was unbelievably turned on by what had just happened. At first, I wasn't sure how to feel, but I was dripping wet by the time I got home and needed to touch myself. It was awful- but I loved it! He awoke something inside me. It was shameful and I didn't want to like it, but I did. It went on for a few more years after that. He knew I couldn't say no to him, he truly owned me and made me his whore, as much as I tried to deny it, he did. Another night, he blinded folded me and bound my hands and feet. He then hovered over me with his cock in my face and repeatedly rubbed it and slapped it over my face. He'd then make me suck him, then slide forward and make me tongue his arsehole, then lick and suck his balls. It was so degrading, I had no power but it had me dripping wet! I still fantasise about how much I loved it- even now it has me wet, I want it again, even though I hate to admit it. Over the years he got me to do anal, DP (with him and a dildo) sex in public, covered my face in his cum, made me swallow, I even sucked off some of his friends once while they all talked about me like I wasn't there- it was so hot! I hated that I loved it but I loved that I hated it. I think I must like being degraded
It's been a year since we have done anything. He got engaged and had a child with his on again off again girlfriend. He wanted to still keep me as his toy on the side, but I had to say no once and for all, as that goes too far against morals. If he wasn't with her, I fear I would probably still be at his mercy, wanting to stop but not being able to. It's like an addiction. He has text me in the past while with her to say he misses what we had and that he knows I loved it- I denyed it and said I never liked it. But the truth is, I miss it and I just want to feel owned again. I once wrote his name on my body in lipstick and other degrading things and sent him pics. I liked it. I wish it didn't turn me on so much, but I can't help it. I love being a good little slut and being called a good girl. I love being used and controlled. I secretly hope I will meet a man that will turn me into his whore once again, who won't give up and isn't afraid to tell me how he wants me. No man I've met since has gotten to know just how slutty I can be. I've tried not to want it, but the longer I go without it, the more I realise it's not just a want, it's a need. Like I said, I love it and I hate it....but I need it
I am a married man, but I have been in love with and fantasized about a woman named Suzanne, who was my co-worker and is now my longtime friend. I am thinking about proposing a secret, sexual relationship to Suzanne, but it would require her to agree to 10 conditions, and I don't know if she would agree to even just one:
(1) she must show up at my home every night at 10pm and leave at 2am;
(2) she must be wearing no more than 5 items of clothing -- a shoe counts as one item;
(3) she must obediently submit to whatever I ask her to do;
(4) she must be prepared to be nude in an outdoor or public setting of my choice;
(5) she must be prepared to receive pain that I inflict that may cause non-permanent injuries such as bruises, welts, and cuts;
(6) she must be prepared to receive unprotected vaginal sex;
(7) she must be prepared to receive unprotected anal sex;
(8) she must be prepared to receive throat fucking that may cause her to puke repeatedly;
(9) she must be prepared to receive golden showers and to swallow urine; and
(10) she must be prepared to receive urine inside of her vagina, her rectum, and her throat.

Nicki Minaj Makes Forbes' "Cash Kings" List
Another year, another list of Forbes' "Cash Kings" list featuring the top dogs in hip hop.
With this year's list, the man at the top of 2014's list is Dr. Dre who made $620 million over the past year. This should come as no surprise since he received a huge pay day after selling Beats By Dre to Apple for a cool $3 billion.
Of course, the usual suspects Jay Z and Diddy come in tied at No. 2 with $60 million made each. Other artists that made the list include Eminem, Lil' Wayne, and Drake. Oh, and Nicki Minaj remains the one and only woman on the list full of kings bringing in $14 million without a major album release or a tour. Needless to say that this lady has no problem holding her own in the male-dominated business.

Visit the official Paxata Documentation portal for all of your doc needs.
Can you aggregate and join datasets from your library? E.g. join source data to current data, sum the source data based on key field from current data? Similar to a sum and join in SQL.
Yes, Paxata supports both lookup and true join operations via the Attach-Lookup toolbar option in righthand tools menu - just click the paperclip icon and select lookup to identify the dataset that you want to join into your project. You can then select columns to join on or let Paxata find the best matches. Paxata also supports aggregation through the Shape - Group By feature. When you select "Shape" from the righthand Tools menu (diagonal arrows 3 from bottom), the default Shaping operation is Group By which allows you to select columns to group by as well as columns to aggregate by sum and other functions. For more information, the "Getting Started" section of the Community has tutorial videos on Combining and Shaping data.15
Thanks for responding! I have taken that approach, but I would be more interested in combining those into one step in a project where you join and sum at the same time. Again, similar to sum/join in SQL or SUMIFS formula in Excel. I believe this would also require the ability to select specific columns to bring in on the lookup/join instead of bringing the entire source data set into the current data set. I'll check out the community videos and see if I can pick up anything there.
It's not exactly in one step, but one feature that you may not be aware of is the ability to "expand lookup steps". Once you do a lookup, open the Steps panel on the left and click "expand lookup steps" right under the Lookup step. From here, you can click on the Import step and apply changes including hiding columns and group by which are only applied to the dataset that you are looking up against - in this way you can alter the dataset coming into the project before the actual lookup operation. I hope this tip is helpful!1

Weekly: Price action has once again failed to capture and hold ground above the 23000 level. A shooting star candle has been posted and further negative price action looks to confirm a rejection. The upward trending support line comes in around 21700. Bearish divergence can be noted on the chart.
Daily: The bearish outside day posted on 30/08 is negative for sentiment and the break of 22665 has confirmed a new short-term bearish phase. We believe prices are now likely to target a more sustained correction towards the 50% Fibonacci retracement level (21701)
We look to Sell at 22540 & 22700
Stop: 23100
Targets: 21700 & 21375
UPDATE: Stopped at 23100

When someone asks me what I'm doing these days, I think of one fateful week in early October when two things happened:
1) I read Seth Godin's book The Dip, A Little Book that Teaches You When to Quit and When to Stick.
It was a great book for me. I have always been interested in so many subjects and have always had a desire to learn. This has backfired on me because I have started and ended so many projects, ideas, etc. I have wanted to be everything from an actress, to a lawyer, to a doctor, to a teacher, to an organic gardener living in a Catholic Convent in Belize. I know I can do anything I put my mind to, but I've just had a hard time keeping my mind there.
There is one part of me that has been constant since I was a little wee one (and I think my creative and artistic mother is to blame). I have always wanted to create. I have always wanted to be an artist and write and illustrate children's books. I believe we are all artists (some are just more trained than others) but art is what I want the bulk of my life's work to be. Writing and illustrating children's books has been at the back of my mind for years and years. I am not proficiently skilled in either writing for children or illustrating, so it's not something that I can't accomplish in a short amount of time.
Godin's main point in The Dip that really stuck to me was basically the following: Anything really worth achieving is difficult because otherwise everyone would do it and it wouldn't be that special. There is always a cycle, a cycle I have seen too many times. Something starts out fun and easy, and then there's a dip: the hard part that most people can't climb out of to get to the finish line. Our main job in our life is to seek out our dip. That something that you really really want to accomplish. That something that you will strive tremendously hard to work for, digging your way through the dip.
On the other hand, your job is also to seek out the things you can't get through and quit before you have wasted your time and energy that could have otherwise gone towards your main goal that you need all the resources to fight with. Sticking out a dead-end job is the easy way out, but also very irresponsible because you are not contributing all you can to this world. You are not achieving what you are capable of.
Godin also stresses you have to enjoy the tasks in your dip, because otherwise you'll never make it through. I finished the book with my mind reeling. Then a few days later, something else happened:
2) Steve Jobs died.
I didn't know too much about him before he died. I was big apple fan, but beyond that, I hadn't looked into him much. That is, until an early week in October. His fervor and intensity inspired me. His words became my mantra.
During that week, I listened to this song over and over again.
My dip had been there for years but I always thought it would be something I would do on the side. My goal had been to find a somewhat enjoyable career that would give me ample time to do the things I really wanted to do.
But according to Godin and Jobs, you'll never find happiness and success down that route. You have to focus on what you love. I understand this is a very romantic view, but what's wrong with that. Work hard on something you love until you reach success. Sounds practical to me.
So, with support from my husband (who is successfully employed in a good career), I quit my job to focus on my dip: writing and illustrating my book and in the process, sharpen up my graphic design skills. I felt utterly and incredibly irresponsible for quitting a decent job in such a hard economic time, but it felt right. I was working at a reputable Pinot Noir winery with flexible hours and no one micromanaging me. But I was merely a middle man for someone else's creation. There was no fulfillment or challenge.
Now, not everyone has a partner who can support them through crises like mine and I wouldn't have been able to quit my job had I been alone. But we are lucky (Let me change that: I'm lucky. He worked hard to get where he is. I am lucky I'm married to him). With that luck, I'm ready to step up to the table and try my hand at another roll, in the hopes of creating more richness, fulfillment, personal satisfaction and love in my life. But this is not a game of chance. On this roll, I have the tools, drive and passion to land a pair of aces. I am ready to work hard, go for what I want, and not stop until I am there.
Watch me go!

Breast size cannot be determined by the cup size by itself as it's impacted with the band size. For instance, D cup breasts on the 28 band are scaled-down in quantity than D cup breasts on the 40 band.
Band sizes vary tremendously between sizing techniques, and also by manufacturer, but intrasystem conversion can existing affordable starting point for estimating size. Sizing conventions by band size[two]
Our styles are wonderful and cozy, so you can eventually truly feel both – good and good-looking in your underwear! Usually do not miss out on to take a good look at our Bras and Hard foam padded bras, way too!

But although a 2009 survey identified that the average British lady owns sixteen bras at Anyone time and buys four every year, fitting them can be a surprisingly difficult exercise. The normal system reads like an A-stage algebra challenge. You take a tape measure and wrap it round your chest at the lowest level where by a bra sits. You file this determine in inches. You add four to this measurement In the event the range is even, 5 if It is really odd – as well as the resultant selection is your band size.
Dresses with horizontal stripes and embellishments to the chest will definitely do this trick. A different essential issue is that you should work on your posture. Standing erect and maintaining a good posture will go a good distance in strengthening your bust.
"And so they always get energized when It is really about size." But yes, they've identified that women are likely to have on the incorrect bra size, particularly underestimating the cup. This finding can not be spelled out by pounds transform on your own. How check here do the women react to this information? "Well, there's even now an concept that bigger is best, so frequently they're very happy."

Bach's Bible

Videourile Vodpod nu mai sunt disponibile.
The Calov Bible is a three-volume 17th-century Bible that contains German translations and commentary by Martin Luther and additional commentary by Wittenberg theology professor Abraham Calovius.
Connection with J. S. Bach
The Calov Bible was made famous with the discovery of a long-lost copy that had once belonged to the composer Johann Sebastian Bach. At the time of his death, the inventory of Bach's library specified ownership of Calovii Schriften (writings of Calovius). It was not known until the 20th century what these writings were.
In June 1934 a Lutheran minister, Dr. Christian G. Riedel, was attending a convention of the Missouri Synod in Frankenmuth, Michigan. While a guest in the home of his cousin, Leonard Reichle, pastor Riedel was shown a book in which he recognized Bach's signature on the frontispiece. Reichle subsequently located the other two volumes in his attic, relating that his family had purchased them in the 1830s, in Philadelphia. With the upheaval of World War II the discovery was forgotten, but remembered in 1962, with eventual donation to the Concordia Seminary Library in St. Louis, Missouri, where the Calov Bible is held today.
The Calov Bible contains 348 underlinings, marks of emphasis, and marginalia in Bach's hand, an attribution that has been proven by handwriting analysis and carbon dating of the ink. In many instances Bach was correcting typographical or grammatical errors. Three of Bach's more important notations are in proximity to the following passages. (Biblical passages, hyperlinked to biblegateway.com, are followed by Bach's comments).
- Exodus 15:20 – "First prelude for two choirs to be sung to the glory of God."
- I Chronicles 25 – "This chapter is the true foundation of all God-pleasing church music."
- II Chronicles 5:12-13 – "In devotional music, God is always present with His Grace."

Long time customer
I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Outback Pools to attest to the level of knowledge and understanding surrounding the Construction and Servicing requirements associated with Swimming Pools.
Our association with the people behind this business stems some 40 years, and you may ask how is this so, as Outback Pools have only been in operation now for some 36 years. We should qualify this by saying that the principal, Roger Stephens constructed a swimming pool for us previously, when he was the Construction Manager for Messrs Mermaid Pools, as such was the impression that was created by his ability to interpret our needs, and to translate those into reality, that when we were again "in the market", we only felt the need to call upon one Company to assist us in the design, construction and subsequent service of our new pool.
The pool we built was individually designed, and therefore purpose built to accommodate the unique nature of the property, and whilst the construction of the structure provided several 'headaches' for all concerned, nothing seemed to phase them, as the finished product was paramount.
This pool was constructed over 20 years ago and has stood the test of time, both in the quality of workmanship and the standard of finishes that still allow us to receive several praises on how the pool still looks.
Over the years we have had the occasion from time to time to call upon this Company for some service needs, and whilst we would appear to be outside of their Catchment area, there has never been a problem, with the service forthcoming as a matter of courtesy. It is in this regard that we have witnessed the succession of the business now involving Roger's son Daniel, who from our dealings, has inherited all of his father's qualities and knowledge, and appears to be bringing to the business the new philosophies to keep them ahead of the competition.
We would be pleased to expand on the above and would welcome any further enquiry.
PS. Should we again be in the market for another Pool, we will again be contacting Outback.

The Church is one of the most reactive institutions I know.
Something comes up in the culture, a trend, a fad or a deep movement toward secularization ( currently in vogue) and the Church leaps in to organize programs that are relevant, hang new signs that are attractive and LARGE, create kicky ads and slogans, beef up its church school, etc.
These strategic quick fixes may bear some short term fruit but usually they are hasty and don't take root or ripen because these efforts are anxiety-driven. This is abusive all round.
Anxiety kills Spirit.
Clergy get exhausted and churchgoers and seekers are absent, apathetic or overworked. Over-reactivity for short term gain is sinful according to one Kabbalist (ancient Jewish mystical tradition) definition of sin as superficiality.
The worst abuse however is self-abuse, self-forgetting. The Church forgets to love the God who calls it into being and instead serves the almighty market to sell itself.
The only healing for this compulsive pattern is whole-heartedness. Know who you are, what you have to give and what you can do. What the Church does that is unique to its vocation is teach about Holy Scriptures, create liturgies that give meaning and ritual shape to people's lives, build a welcoming community of prayer and sacrament, and provide pastoral care and compassion in times of need.
I do not include social justice because this is the work of all decent citizens and because there are many agencies involved with this work. It is not the Church's job or her gift to be one more such organization. It is the Church's job to encourage its members to devote a portion of their time to such work outside the Church.
To be wholehearted isn't always obvious or easy. Poet David Whyte tells a story on himself. He was working in a social service agency, racing from thing to thing, task to task, desperately engaged in the work of helping others. One day he raced into a conference room in which he thought there might be a meeting he was supposed to attend and said to those assembled, "Has anyone seen David?" After laughter they sent the exhausted David himself home for the rest of the day.
Once home Whyte spent the evening with his friend and monastic brother David Steindl-Rast who listened to Whyte's tale of overwork, reactivity and fatigue. Steindl-Rast told Whyte that the antidote to exhaustion was not rest. Astonished, Whyte looked at his friend and said, "What is it then?" Brother David said, "Wholeheartedness."
Their talk led Whyte to consult his heart, find there his true gift and passion for poetry and to risk quitting his job and becoming a poet. Since then he has written many beautiful volumes of fine poetry and also used his poetry to help people in both church and corporate settings find their own hearts.
David Whyte wrote in his poem "Sweet Darkness": Sometimes it takes darkness/and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn/that anything or anyone that does not/bring you alive is too small for you.
Perhaps the Church could in this, its time of darkness and dangerous reactivity, re-enlist its own tired heart, not to self-serve but to dare to be wholehearted—for Godde's sake.

Compliance issues are an everyday concern in the regulated product industry. Human error, procedures not followed, and a lack of implementation of necessary good manufacturing process (GMP) controls results in costly damages and places product quality at risk. Available software technology is capable of preventing these issues, but for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs), traditional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions have been expensive to consider. Fortunately for pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturers and distributors, there is now a cost effective ERP solution, based on Microsoft technologies that will support their current operations and future potential growth.
The move to paperless – Companies that rely on paper-based processes are not only exposed to greater risks, they're also unable to benefit from electronic records, more centralized data and easier accessibility to information. Going paperless makes it easier for an organization to assess and manage risks, implement quality processes and even supports in trending data. Organizations that purchase separate software for operations and quality management face challenges with integration, redundancy, and costly maintenance and will often find that business operations remain disconnected.
Tell me something new – Microsoft Dynamics® powered with AXOQCS™ is changing the life sciences industry. Microsoft Dynamics® is a tier 1 ERP without the implementation challenges of traditional ERPs and their associated high costs. AXOQCS™ is the quality and compliance solution for Dynamics that extends standard functionality to cover global quality and compliance requirements, resulting in a full collaboration with an organization's quality department. Future versions also include Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI) and cloud options, offering a complete business solution.
Embrace the cloud – Software as a Service (SaaS) ERP solutions are now a mainstream option for life sciences organizations. Microsoft Dynamics® powered with AXOQCS™ offers many advantages over traditional on premise deployments for SMB organizations, including the elimination of up-front server and license costs, rapid deployment, enterprise level security, high availability, full scalability, performance covered by service level agreements (SLAs), ability to customize if required, and access from anywhere.
The big picture – Pharmaceutical and other life science companies experience rapid growth during their development stages. What often becomes a bottleneck is how to support operations as they grow. ERP systems are meant to support operations, but companies often choose off-the-shelf (OTS) software instead to support initial operation levels. Once they experience growth, companies are forced to think about upgrading or changing to bigger software systems.
Dynamics® with AXOQCS™ is a validated ERP solution specifically designed to meet the complex needs of pharmaceutical and life science companies. Designed by in-house regulatory and quality experts, AXOQCS™ provides the flexibility and agility in an ERP that is much needed for managing pharmaceutical and life science operations. Organizations can activate and unlock desired functionalities as they grow, proving that choosing the right ERP solution from the early stages will save more costs in the long run.
Microsoft Dynamics® with AXOQCS™ offers a complete ERP solution with built-in quality and compliance functionalities. Specifically designed for the pharmaceutical and life science industries, AXOQCS™ allows companies to implement desired quality functionalities and unlock their full potential as they grow.
What next?
If you're a small or mid-sized pharmaceutical or life sciences organization looking to deploy an ERP solution to reduce costs and position your organization for growth, please contact David Linton to find out more about Microsoft Dynamics® and AXOQCS™.

A teacher new to structured word inquiry just sent me an email with this excellent question:
I wanted to know if negate is a base? My students have been working on other words, but this one came up when doing a read aloud. My dictionary seems to indicate it is a base, but I am not sure and wanted some clarification before I start a lesson on it. Do you know?
Instead of providing my response in an email to this one teacher, I decided to share the question and answer here in Real Spellers. Since this question is from a teacher who has just had her very first exposure to this work in an hour session, it seemed apropriate to place this in the forum for beginners. As ever the point is not this particular word, but to get a sense of how to go about investigating such questions. So the first step is to remind ourselves of the principles by which any scientific inquiry should be guided:
- Scientific inquiry seeks the deepest structures that account for the greatest number of cases.
And the related principle...
- Scientific inquiry seeks the most elegant solution -- that which invokes no unnecessary entities.
If you want more clarity on these foundational principles, I have posted information on these principles with examples from spelling investigations at this link.
And now we should remind ourselves of the order of questions that we can use to guide any spelling question:
1) Meaning: Although I generally know what the word negate means, I start by checking my sense of the meaning of this word by checking my Oxford "Mactionary." Here is what I find for the definitions of this word:
negate /nəˈɡeɪt/
verb [ with obj. ]
1 nullify; make ineffective: alcohol negates the effects of the drug.
2 . Logic & Grammar make (a clause, sentence, or proposition) negative in meaning.
3 deny the existence of (something): negating the political nature of education.
2) Structure: This is the specific target of the teachers question. Asking if <negate> is a base is by definition a question about the structure of the word. One of the very first messages I communicate to children about words even to pre-school children who may not even know their alphabet is that every word they will ever encounter is either a base, or a base, or a base with something fixed to it. We know <negate> is a word, but, is it complex? Does it have a base and another element?
Testing morphological analysis of a written word: The key orthographic principle we need to use to guide our investigation is that any hypothesized analysis of this word needs to pass both a "structure test" and a "meaning test". Here are the straight forward questions to resolve these "tests."
Structure test: Does the hypothesized analysis have a coherent word sum? In other words, can I prove all elements in the word sum?
Meaning test: Do the hypothesized base and the resulting complex word share a common root origin? The underlying denotation of a base can be traced back through the root origin, so we need to use etymological information (root) to prove our morphological (base) hypothesis.
(This use of the term root and base is crucial, and more precise than is often encountered in other sources. If you have not yet investigated this use of these terms, I highly recommend that you go to this link to consider the tutorial film on the terms "base" and "root" in that Real Spelling Gallery.)
With the principles of investigation established, we can now apply them to the question about the structure of <negate>.
First I look at this word and look to see if I recognize any potential affixes or bases. I suspect that the reason for this question in the first place is that the questioner noticed a final <ate> which is a familiar suffix <-ate> in many words (e.g., valid + ate --> validate; act + ive/ + ate --> activate) but not in others (e.g., room + mate --> roomate not *roomm + ate; hot + plate --> hotplate not *hotpl + ate).
Regardless of whether it is correct or not, I always recommend that word scientists make their hypotheses concrete with a word sum to help them think about it. So as soon as I have the question, "Is <-ate> a suffix, I create the following word sum.
? neg + ate --> negate
(I have recently begun the practice of signaling a hypothesized word sum with a question mark to signal that it is not a conclusion about the word structure, but a question.)
Because I know vowel suffixes like <-ate> replace final, single, silent <e>s (like in the structure of <activate> above) I now see two possible analyses:
? neg + ate --> negate
? nege/ + ate --> negate
With these hypotheses I now have some raw data to use in an investigation. If either <neg> or <nege> is the base of <negate> I need to find evidence of this base element (a written base) in at least one other word. I have now reached the third step in my "Stuck on a Spelling?" chart.
3) Relatives: Here I am reminded to look for morphological relatives -- other words with a hpothesized base -- and to check that hypothesis by investigating that any such word really is connected in meaning by checking the root in a dictionary. To find morphological relatives, I am reminded to go to the Word Searcher.
For this investigation, I decide to try <nege> first. If I find a word that is related in structure and meaning to <negate> I will be able to resolve which of these two analyses is preferrable. In fact as I write, before I do my search on the Word Searcher, I realize that this analysis will only work with a base <nege>! If I were to add a vowel suffix to <neg> I would be forsed to double the <g>! (neg(g) + ate --> *neggate). Since <negate> is spelled with a single <g>, I can now eliminate the first hypothesis.
Let's see what I find!
Just three matches...
(3 matches)
This is interesting data. All three can pass the structure test:
re + nege --> renege
re + nege/ + ed --> reneged
re + nege + s --> reneges
But do they pass the "meaning test"?
Off the top of my head, there is a tempting connection. My understanding of the word renege is to go back on a deal. which has a negative connotation. But a potential meaning connection off the top of my head is certainly not scientific evidence. To conclude that I have found evidence that these two words <negate> with hypothesized structure <nege/ + ate> and the word <renege> with the hypothesized structure <re + nege> pass the meaning test. Do these two words share a common root origin?
I can now check a couple of references. The citation in my Oxford on my Mac gave me etymological information about the word <negate> that I did not share before. Here it is:
ORIGIN early 17th cent. ( sense 1 and sense3): from Latin negat- 'denied,' from the verb negare .
Well, now I'm getting more excited about this hypothesis. I'm getting both meaning and structural hints supporting the trail of my thinking. The emphasis on the denotation "deny" ties closely to my understanding of the word renege. Although we saw that in the 3rd sense given in the definition of negate in my Oxford, I think my understanding of the word was still too tied to my sense of the word negative. While negative and deny clearly share a connotation this semantic link is not being confirmed with etymological evidence. I should be a good scientist and check another reference for the origin of <negate> as well. Off to the excellent www.etymonline.com!
Here's what I find...
- negate (v.)
- 1795 (with an isolated use from 1620s), back-formation from negation, or else from Latin negatus, pp. of negare. Related: Negated;negates; negating.
Whoa! There is even more here. Etymonline calls <negate> a back-formation. This is a facinating process of word formation that I know a bit about. Here is a definition from my "Mactionary"
a word that is formed from an already existing word from which it appears to be a derivative, often by removal of a suffix (e.g., laze from lazy and edit from editor).• the process by which such words are formed.
So according to etymonline, the word negation was in usage before the word negate! But that doesn't make in any less of a word. And I see the same Latin root 'negare' that I got from my Oxford. Now to complete the meaning test. Does the word <renege> which is shares a plausible structural connection to <negate> actually share a common root origin. This time, I'll start with Etymonline, then to my Oxford:
- renege (v.)
- 1540s, from Medieval Latin renegare, from Latin re-, here probably an intensive prefix, + negare "deny" (see deny). Related: Reneged;reneging.
Oxford on my Mac:
ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (in the sense 'desert (esp. a faith or a person)'): from medieval Latin renegare, from Latin re- (expressing intensive force) + negare 'deny.'
We now have solid scientific evidence that the word <negate> is not a base, but is in fact complex with a base <nege> from the Latin root 'negare' carrying the underlying denotation 'deny' affixed to the common suffix <-ate> with the following word sum:
nege/ + ate --> negate
And this word sum is confirmed with the related word sum which shares a common root, and the familiar <re-> prefix:
re + nege --> renege
What I love about this investigation from this teacher who has had exactly one hour of PD on this topic is that she perceived a rich question about the word negate in conjunction with working with her students. By posing that question to me, I was forced to do what I call an "inquiry-led" version of structured word inquiry. By this I mean, I did not know the answer when I began this investigation. All I had were the principles of scientific inquiry, and basic knowledge about how to test the structure and meaning of words with word sums and etymological references. I had never considered the structure of <negate> before. I had certainly never perceived the connection to the word <renege>. In fact, I'm sure if someon had asked me yesterday how to spell the word renege I would not have known. You'll notice that only now -- with the word sum and historical influences on the spelling established that the chart above directs me to consider the grapheme-phoneme correspondences. Without the meaning and structure of the word renege established, I would not have a good reason to explain the final, single, silent <e> at the end of this word. In fact there is a great deal of fascinating and impotant work about the orthographic representation of the phonology of this word that we could continue on if anyone out there is interested. I will just point to a fascinating discovery I made in the citation of this word in my Oxford:
renege |rɪˈneɪɡ|(also renegue )
Note that we have clear evidence that this word is pronounced witha final /ɡ/ phoneme. And I also have evidnence that there are two attested spellings. I have a working hypothesis about the reason for the <u> in the second spelling, but I'll leave that for others to investigate if they wish.
Before we move on to the phonological questions, however, I would encourage the teacher and students who posed this excellent question, and anyone else who is intersted to take the "Relatives" part of this process throug a richer process. We know there is a bound base <nege> from the Latin 'negare' for "deny". (We call a base a 'bound base' when it does not suface as a word on its own. A bound base only occurs in a word when it is bound to at least one other element.) We know that this base builds the words negate and renege. Why not look for more words that share this base element and thus expand our knowledge of the words that beling in this morphological family that share this common base element?
If you have questions about the phonological lessons to be learned in this investigation, please post those as well. There is a community of scholars around the world ready to respond to such questions. I'm going to count on them to help bring precision to any of the language I have used in this post. It is not at all unlikely that there are places in this post where I have used misleading terminology or at least imprecise language or thinking. The only way I get better is by sharing my undertanding with others, an having others provide evidence of more precise ways to think about and communicate these ideas.
There is certainly nothing negative about making mistakes unless we deny that we make them!

In a regular meeting Tuesday morning, the Rugby Public School District No. 5 Board of Education learned the results of a youth risk behavior survey.
The results of the 2017 survey were compared to the results from 2009. In some instances, the term "insufficient cell size" was reported, which meant data came from less than three students.
Alcohol and tobacco use decreased from 2009, as did the percentages of students carrying weapons on school property, in physical fights on school property, and sexual behaviors.
Increases did occur in other areas, including the percentages of students who were bullied on school property, bullied electronically, harassed, "felt sad or hopeless", considered suicide, and used marijuana.
"Those behavioral health things we've talked about are a concern for our kids," said Superintendent Mike McNeff.
Other actions
- The board discussed updates on work being done by the district's Grading and Reporting Committee.
- The board discussed and approved the district's fiscal audit report.
- A first reading of the 2018-19 school calendar was tabled.
- The board approved the consent agenda, which included December meeting minutes, bills, financial reports and pledged securities.
