"I'm disgusted by the Superior Court's cavalier disregard for the child victims…"
District Attorney Seth Williams says that the battle to get Monsignor William Lynn back behind bars has just begun.
After serving 18 months of his 36 year sentence, Monsignor William Lynn will be released from prison on bail. The 62-year old former Secretary of Clergy for the Archdiocese was convicted in July of 2012 for covering up sex abuse claims in his role of assigning priests.
Last week in state superior court, the landmark conviction was overturned on the grounds that the child endangerment law that he was convicted under didn't apply to him...
"He's gonna be out of jail and that's what pleases me. And we can accommodate your honor and we will so," said Tim Bergstrom, the defense lawyer.
In addition to posting bail, Monsignor Lynn was ordered to turn over his passport, wear an electronic monitoring bracelet and report weekly to law enforcement officials.
"It's heartbreaking in a way because no one is held accountable," said Kevin Waldrip, a protestor.
Protestors who braved the cold outside today's bail hearing say that they hope the DA wins an appeal
"Clearly the overturn of Monsg William Lynn's conviction was an injustice that sends the wrong message to Philadelphians and every victim," DA Williams said.
The Survivor's Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) said in a statement today:
Msgr. Lynn's callousness, recklessness and deceit caused kids to be hurt and predators to walk free. We hope that Pennsylvania's highest court will re-instate his conviction.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

One Day Fund Drive
07.01.13 |
Family Life broadcasted the One-Day Fund Drive on Wednesday, July 17. We raised some amazing support that day. Thank you for giving to this effort! We appreciate your commitment to Family Life.
Currently we are trusting God for additional support because the financial goals were not meant. There is still time to participate online, or through the mail.
The purpose of the fund drive is to strengthen and expand existing Family Life radio signals in certain locations where coverage is weak or doesn't exist. You can help support this effort and impact many lives with the message of hope. For every dollar you give, two more people potentially become a part of Family Life's listening audience.

Shimano 105-FC 5700 Crankset $199.95
Hardly a compromise.
The prices of road bike components can, at times, be a bit daunting. A pair of crankarms that will run you a couple car payments or a month's mortgage may not fit into the budget or slide past the spouse unnoticed. That's why there's Shimano 105. Make no mistake–this isn't budget gear. This is race-worthy equipment designed to be affordable without compromising performance. While the Shimano 105-FC 5700 Crankset tips the scales at around 100 grams more than its top-end sibling, it's also less than half the price, and it's still nowhere near what you'd call heavy.
Shimano Hollowtech hollow crank arms reduce weight while adding stiffness for more direct power transfer and greater pedaling efficiency. Hyperdrive SG-X chainrings with Dual SIS front index shifting deliver instant assertive shifts and unheard-of shifting reliability. Shimano has also increased the space between the large and small rings to reduce chain rub in the small-small gear. While we don't advocate this particular gear combo, it's nice to know that you won't have to suffer the annoyance of hearing the chain rub if you find yourself here in the heat of battle.
The Shimano 105 FC 5700 Crankset is available as standard or compact. The standard, 130mm bolt circle diameter version comes with a 39/53 combination. The compact, 110mm bolt circle diameter version comes with a 34/50 chain ring combination. Both versions of this crankset can be had with 170, 172.5, or 175mm crankarms.

Ninja Quiet, Built to Perform

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This was an upgrade from the Shimano R565 non-series crank that came on my bike, which is essentially Tiagra level. Ultegra and Dura-Ace have both seen multiple updates (11-speed, electronic) since the 105 5700 Groupset release in 2011. With all the new tech out there prices on Shimano 105 components have started to go down.
I went with the standard 53/39T cranks. I do a lot of climbing, and no doubt I will be suffering more with the 39T small ring on the steep grades come spring. On the other hand, the 50-11 high gear on the compact is just not fast enough for me. Spinning out at 36mph simply does not cut it these days. Mid-compact, 52/36 rings, are ideal hilly terrain and high speed descents where you need the versatility of a wide gear spread. Unfortunately Shimano have not made the 105 52/36 combo available for individual sale. I am excited about having a little more top end though, and the bigger inner ring will have advantages too.
Right out of the gate I could feel that my pedal stroke was smoother and more efficient with the 105 crankset. This puppy is stiff. If you think your frame is lacking stiffness at the bottom bracket, do yourself a huge favor an upgrade that entry level crankset first, see if that doesn't change your mind. Best of all, it was ninja quiet. I did not hear any chain rubbing noise, so long as I remembered to trim when slightly cross-chaining. The matte black, almost wrinkle, finish with a gloss highlight strip makes a strong impression and should match nicely with many color schemes. Stoked.

I have a shimano 105 triple 2006 vintage and the left crankarm was bent in a fall. Is it possible to buy only a replacement arm.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! – My girlfriend and I wanted to go somewhere nice for our anniversary, and reserved a table at Azie. Unfortunately, the only time available was 9:00 PM. So, we went ahead and showed up at about 7:45, figuring we could hang out at the bar for a while until our table was available. How happy were we when they found a spot for us in about 20 minutes!
The service was excellent; attentive but not overbearing; professional but laid back. The food was even better! The space and overall atmosphere was very cool. We will definitely be going back.
cold re-heated food! – after waiting patiently at our table for an hour, we were served fish and meat that was cold. it seemed slightly reheated and dry as well. our waitor was extremely rude and it was totally obvious that he was walking over to the other waitors to talk smack about us. it was my friend's bday dinner, we were promised a cake, but only handed an overpriced bill.
A restaurant you have to try! – I've been going to Azie off and on for the last 4 years. I've always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The reason I'm writing a review now - the last 3 times I've been into the restaurant I've constantly been amazed at how delicious the food is, and I didn't think it could get better!
I know they have had a few Chef changes, but I think they have found a match with Chef Conrad. This is definately one restaurant that you need to try for yourself. The Shortribs are amazing! And I could make an entire meal out of their appetizers!
Ruined my valentines' dinner – Very unprofessional "booth policy", the manager and the hostess runs it all!!! Food was ok, lots of other restaurants with better food in the Bay Area. Will never ever go back again.
A good place to focus on your date – This is a very good "first date" place to take that special someone. It has great ambiance, very romantic and the food "family style" is overall satisfying to your pallette. A can get little pricey but well worth it. The ambiance is perfect for a couple that just wants to enjoy good food and each other. If you are on a date, I would suggest to reserve seating that has the drawn curtains...
This place SUCKS, I would never go back – I know sucks is a harsh word but when you think about Azie compared to all the other awesome restaurants in SF there is no reason to waste your money there. My girlfiend and I thought it would be good since we like Lulu, but we were mistaken. The plates were smaller than small plates and priced like big plates and the server never refilled our wine glasses and seemed to have forgotten about us a few times thru the evening. The sauces were kind of weird and the steak entree was about 3 oz. of meat which was way undercooked.
We were expecting so much more from this restaurant from the price and the citysearch rating, but I think it was a waste of $130 and I'll never go to Lulu or Azie again because of it!
DO NOT GO. HORRIBLE! WORST restaurant! – took 2 hours for food to come out. waitor was non-chalant and rude. Treated us like crap. We went for friend's birthday. "promised" us to make it a special occasion and bring out a cake. Never happened. The food is the size of your fist. Dry... Crappy.. and luke-warm. (reheated). HORRIBLE experience, complete waist of money.
Looks good, tastes good but very overpriced – We eat out 1-2 times a week and have eaten at most of the best and new restaurants in the city. It's simply overpriced. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, the restaurant is beautiful and the service is good. However, there are places that serve the same quality of Pan-Asian food with the same quality of service for about 25% less.
Excellent Excellent Excellent – Great interior design. I believe Drew was also our server. He made great recommendations for entrees. Plus looking at the menu alone will salivate your taste buds. The curry dusted fried calamari was delicious. The mouth watering short rib entree practically melts in your mouth. The duck risotto could not be put down. Add then naan bread appitizer with it and the meal is perfect. Didn't try any wine but it's an extensive menu feature Napa and international bottles. I went with friends but it's a great place to go in a group or on a date. Expect to pay at least $50 per person for just appetizer and dinner plus a drink.
Sterling Service – My Husband and I frequent this restaurant at least 3 times a month for it's stellar French cuisine and artistic atmosphere. Recently, we noticed a new server, who we had the pleasure of meeting Saturday night. Drew had the warmth of a natural charismatic leader, and he went out of his way to recommend choice wines and even local wineries to tour, as we were planning a trip to Napa on Sunday. Any patron who does not find him helpful and attentive is either extremely impatient or crazy. As regular customers of Azie, my wife and I take pride in conversing with those who make our meal a pleasant experience and we look forward to seeing Drew in the months to come.

MCC is meeting with Salvadoran partners from San Martin, San Vicente and La Libertad to plan a response to the flooding disaster. (MCC graphic by Fred Yocum)
MCC responds to flooding in El Salvador
Linda Espenshade
November 12, 2009
November 12, 2009
Mennonite Central Committee has committed an initial $20,000 to relief efforts in El Salvador, where massive flooding and landslides left more than 140 people dead as of Wednesday, Nov. 11.
According to news reports, on Sunday, Nov. 8 a storm dumped almost as much rain on central El Salvador as Hurricane Mitch did over four days in 1998.El Salvador was already in its rainy season. The storm was not related to Hurricane Ida, which was building in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time, according to news reports.
More than 2,000 houses and 18 bridges were damaged or destroyed, according to ACT (Action by Churches Together) International. In total, 118 temporary shelters have been set up where 13,680 people have taken refuge.
Since Monday, MCC's partner organizations have distributed food, medicine, health care and other material aid, such as canned meat and health kits from MCC, wrote Antony Sanchez and Irma Solano, MCC representatives for Guatemala and El Salvador, in an e-mail.
MCC partners in the areas of disaster are ANADES (New Dawn Association from El Salvador) in San Vicente; IBDC (Baptist Disciples of Christ Church) in San Martin; and Fundahmer (Brother Mercedes Foundation) in La Libertad. There are no Mennonite churches in the affected area.
Agricultural production is largely affected, and as much as 30 percent of some crops may be lost. Therefore, food assistance and food security for the communities will be the major challenges for MCC's partner agencies, Sanchez and Solano wrote. Most food producers are small farmers, and a new harvest will not be ready until Aug.10.
Sanchez and Solano are meeting with MCC partners in El Salvador from Nov. 11 to 13. Together they will assess the situation in San Martin and San Vicente and propose a longer term disaster response plan.
Three MCC workers — Toby Roberts and Chris and Rebecca Strong — in El Salvador are safe. Roberts is assigned to partner ANADES and the Strongs work with the Mennonite Church of El Salvador.
People who wish to donate can do so online at https://donate.mcc.org/project/el-salvador-flooding-emergency [2], or through any MCC office. Please designate your gift as "El Salvador Emergency Assistance."

Solyndra may be a well-known example of federal fiscal ineptitude, but another company's trouble after receiving hundreds of millions of federal dollars is making its way into the public eye. A123 Systems Inc., which makes lithium batteries for electric cars, filed for bankruptcy last month.
But on the very day it filed for bankruptcy, A123 received a nearly $1 million payment from the federal government. That payment was part of the $249 million clean-energy grant it received in 2009.
Then, A123's Chief Executive David Vieau said "The capital provided by the DOE's investment will help us speed our growth and better compete in global markets." Meanwhile, A123 was also raking in a $5 million forgivable loan from Massachusetts, $16 million in grants and loans from Michigan, and reaping the benefits of tax credits worth more than $125 million.
President Barack Obama and his administration were so desperate to shore up the market for electric vehicles, it appears they failed to do research. In this case, nearly $400 million of outside help could not keep A123 out of bankruptcy.
One analysis of the company's financial situation showed it "has been bleeding red ink since 2001. In the past five years, the company has lost $877.7 million, including a loss of $269 million through August."
A clear picture of the kind of company at which it planned to throw money was readily available to federal officials in 2009. They ignored it, and taxpayers are footing the bill.

Would human civilization be better or worse if we fed all the under-120s into a woodchipper?
But, what if there's a way to fight the infection (antibiotics) while keeping the leg?
Throw the under-120's into the woodchipper is a feel-good concept.
Quote from: Everdarkgreen on April 10, 2012, 03:00:23 AMThrow the under-120's into the woodchipper is a feel-good concept. Feel-good?Maybe to a psychopath. It doesn't make me feel good in any way.But feelings have nothing to do with realism. In fact, they're its antithesis.
I hope our aryan overlords will emerge form their l secret base below antartica and wipe all of those under 500 of IQ And don't have the ability to mindtravel into the Xerces Galaxy.
I don't know about you guys, but I love my under-120s. They're so cute and funny. Just yesterday one stole my GPS unit and another one took a dump in my yard. Ha ha, they're such cards.
but i'm not sure if i can tinkle in front of a crowd.
Are we expecting over 120's to scrub shit-encrusted toilets or engage in any of the other unskilled labor we usually have proles do? Temporarily, sure, but won't the majority want to move on to greater ends?

Shrek the Musical
What: Elkhorn Community Theatre stage musical
Where: Elkhorn High School, 1401 Veterans Drive
When: 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday
Tickets: Advance, $12 adults, $9 children 10 and under; at the door, $15 adults, $10 students
Information: online at elkhorncommunitytheatre.com
Director Sherry Wade couldn't believe her luck.
Wade, who had directed three summer musicals for Elkhorn Community Theatre, was looking for another family friendly show but thinking she'd like something more contemporary than "Cinderella" or "Annie."
Then she noticed that the rights to "Shrek the Musical" were coming available to amateur groups last October. The story of an ogre who rescues a princess (with the help of a blabby donkey) is widely popular.
No Nebraska troupe had yet staged the show, a 2009 best-musical Tony nominee. The theater's board gave Wade a thumbs-up, and the result opens Thursday night for a one-weekend run at Elkhorn High School.
"Everyone loves 'Shrek' — it's such a good show," Wade said. "It's family friendly, and kids want to see it."
Kids also want to be in it. The cast of nearly 50 includes a 16-member kids' ensemble, and Wade expanded the list of fairy-tale characters in the show to accommodate them. She cast lots of students from Elkhorn Public Schools, where she teaches speech and theater.
Once she had the rights, the challenges were daunting. Wade had never seen the musical version of the popular movie, so staging and choreography are original. Scenery, costumes, makeup and props all posed special demands. Pinocchio's nose, for example, must grow onstage.
Help came from Midland College in Fremont, Neb., and area costume shops, along with dozens of parents who pitched in to sew and build scenery.
The sets include forest scenes, a barn, a cave, Princess Fiona's tower, the dragon's keep, a torture chamber, Shrek's swamp home and a rope bridge that extends over the orchestra pit. The theater rented several painted backdrops.
"The biggest challenge was the dragon, getting it built and assembled," Wade said. "But it's all going well."
"Shrek the Musical" is the theater's 16th summer musical and its first Nebraska premiere.

The Kingdom is a six part Comic Book Miniseries, about an alternate universe where animals have evolved in mankind's absence.
About this project
Hey guys, my name is Jason Bienvenu; artist and storyteller for the comic book miniseries "The Kingdom".
This project will be a full color, 6 part comic book miniseries that will be self-published. Each issue will be released in three month increments. I am doing this as a labor of love. I have dedicated my nights and weekends for almost a year now: from conceptualizing the story and characters, up to the completion of the 1st and 2nd issues in order to meet the release date deadlines. In addition to the actual creation of the comic books, I will be maintaining and frequently updating the blog, website, and facebook fan page. I will also be creating several digital media ads in order to create a viral campaign to help spread the word about the project.
So, where will your donations help out in this massive undertaking you might ask?
That's a great question. First and foremost, the majority of your donations will go to printing costs. Most printers require a minimum order, usually in the hundreds, and I will need all the help I can get to meet those order number requirements. Advertising and marketing is a huge part of any project. If people don't know about a product, they'll never have the opportunity to buy it. Lastly, in relation to materials needed to create this project; if I have any revenue left over, I will use it towards the purchase of a more up-to-date work computer which I use to color the pages of the comic book. My current computer is a 2002 laptop dinosaur that makes the process of creating pages very long and tedious.
I have been working late hours every night and every weekend in order to make sure each issue will be released on time and is at the highest possible artistic and storytelling quality; this is why the issues will be released in three month installments instead of the normal one month increments.
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping make this dream of mine a reality. It means the world to me to be able to get my artwork and story out to people. You can visit my blog and facebook fan page (don't forget to follow both) for updates and the "making of" process!
Cover Art for the first 3 Issues of the miniseries.
Scheduled release dates for each comic:
1st Issue - May 2012
2nd Issue - August 2012
3rd Issue - November 2012
4th Issue - February 2012
5th Issue - May 2013
6th Issue - August 2013
**Please note: for all international supporters (including Canada and Mexico), please include the following shipping costs to your pledge. Thanks!**
$5 - Rewards
$7 - Reward $50-$100
$10 - Rewards $175-$500
The packet includes
• Inspiration: Illustration and Story behind the project.
• Character Evolutions: Witness the evolution of the main characters from sketchbook concept to the final version that appears in the comic book. Many of the characters look vastly different, in some cases, even a different animal all together, while others remained virtually unchanged from their conceptual sketch.
• Story Board Thumbnails: Here you'll see side-by-side comparisons from many of the pages of issues one and two. Here you'll see how initial planning, in some cases, did and didn't work with a side-by-side comparison of the thumbnail sketch to the finished production pages.
• Creating a Page: In this section, the reader will be able to see the process of creating the composite art for a page from issue number 2. The reader will see the step-by-step creation of a composite drawing from line art, colored layers, and finally, the combined effect of colored line art with word bubbles.
• Logo Design: In this section, you'll see the creation of the logo from sketch to the final version.
• Evolution of Cover Art: You'll see the many changes that the first issue's cover went through before I finally decided on the look and feel of the final version.
• Blog Journal Entries: The final section of the packet will be a printed version of the journal entries from the artist's blog.

2008: High school senior and scholar-athlete Alex Dombos from Kalamazoo decides to go to Kalamazoo College so he can major in science and play tennis.
1942: High school senior and scholar-athlete Victor Soukup from Chicago decides to go to Kalamazoo College so he can major in science and play tennis.
The connection: Victor Soukup is Alex Dombos's grandfather.
Dombos is following in some mighty footsteps, not only those of his grandfather, Victor Soukup '46, but also those of his late grandmother, Shirley White Soukup '45.
Shirley White came to "K" from her Chicago high school to major in biology and chemistry. A few months later, in an organic chemistry lab, a young man was the only one in the class who could answer a question posed by the professor. That young man is bright, observed the teacher; we should keep an eye on him. So Shirley did just that.
Victor Soukup also came from Chicago, where he had been a tennis phenom in high school. Everett Hames, Kalamazoo College's director of admissions, came to his school during Soukup's senior year. "When he found out I wasn't settled on a school," Soukup recalls, "he made me an offer I couldn't refuse."
Soukup was destined to spend just a year and a half at "K," an interruption caused by World War II. (It was not uncommon for "K" to list students as alumni when, like Soukup, the War forced them to finish their studies at other schools.) But he was there long enough to know that Shirley White was the girl for him.
He was also there long enough to play number one singles for the Hornet tennis team. When Soukup enlisted in the Navy the next year, he was assigned to the V-12 Navy Training Program. Oddly enough, that gave him a unique athletic opportunity.
The first part of his V-12 training was at Western Michigan University, where he played number-one singles on the WMU tennis team. Soukup became the first (of only two) persons who played that position on teams from both "K" and WMU.
Soukup's military training took him to the University of Michigan, where he completed his undergraduate degree, then to Princeton and the Naval Academy. While he was in Ann Arbor, says Soukup, he regularly hitchhiked back to Kalamazoo to continue courting Shirley White. He had no place to stay when he got to the campus, he says, so ". . . I used to climb the outside wall of Mandelle Library and find an unlocked window. Then I'd go inside and sleep overnight."
Shirley White meanwhile was leaving her own mark on Kalamazoo College's tennis program, even though she didn't play. During summers, Shirley lived in a rented house across the street from Dr. Allen B. Stowe, long-time professor of chemistry and tennis coach. The tennis team at the time was still playing on courts next to the railroad tracks, but Stowe wanted to change that. One evening, says Victor, Dr. Stowe and Shirley sat down and together outlined plans for what is now Stowe Stadium.
Finally, the War over and their undergraduate degrees in hand, Victor and Shirley married in 1946, then headed to the University of Wisconsin, in Madison. Ultimately they both earned doctoral degrees, hers in endocrinology and his in organic chemistry. By the time they had their Ph.D.s, they also had the first two of their four children.
After graduating from Wisconsin, the Soukups were off to Cincinnati, where Victor had a job with Proctor and Gamble. From P&G, Victor went to Cincinnati Milacron, where he worked as director of research until he retired in 1973.
Shirley spent her career doing research at the Children's Hospital/Children's Research Foundation/Center for Developmental Studies in Cincinnati, where she worked with Dr. Joseph Warkany, considered to be the father of mammalian teratology and cytogenetics. Though she was a full professor at the Medical School of the University of Cincinnati, research in chromosomal abnormalities was always her passion, her family says. She passed away on December 15, 2011.
Victor remained active and successful in both tennis and badminton for many years. He earned many titles, including state championships in badminton in Wisconsin and Ohio.
A chemist by training, Victor Soukup has had a life-long passion for botany, becoming a world expert on plants in the orchid, trillium, and jack-in-the-pulpit families. His daughter Ann Soukup says, "I grew up thinking Saturdays were for field trips with the wildflower society."
For more than 30 years, Victor Soukup has been volunteer associate curator of McMicken College's herbarium, at the University of Cincinnati,
"Kalamazoo College is one of the most special places on earth..."where he also serves as an adjunct professor of biological sciences. His expertise in chemistry and botany has led to ongoing research into the analysis of seed lipids in the jack-in-the-pulpit family. Even now, he spends 40 hours a week at the herbarium and is president of the Ohio Native Plant Society.
Through an odd twist of fate, the Soukup's only daughter, Ann, having grown up in Cincinnati, ended up living in Kalamazoo. Ann met Michael Dombos, now an attorney, while she was at Albion College; it was Michael who brought her to the town where her parents had attended college. Ann Soukup is now a physician's assistant at the Edison School-Based Health Center.
When the Dombos's sons, Andrew and Alex, were ready for college, they both chose "K."
Andrew '09 majored in religion and theater. He now works for the Episcopal Church Diocese in San Francisco.
Alex's '12 "K" experiences have been, in many ways, similar to those of his grandfather seven decades earlier. Having been a champion tennis player while attending Kalamazoo Hackett High School, Alex has played for "K" throughout his college years; he was recently selected to the 2011 Capitol One Academic All-America Second Team. Also like his grandfather, Alex will be going on to graduate school after leaving "K."
Victor Soukup is now 87 and still lives in the house that he built for his family in 1954-55. Looking back on his own "K" experiences in the 1940s, Victor says that the liberal arts education he received at "K' was a great beginning for his career as a chemist. He says that, whenever he speaks to students, he stresses the importance of not only knowing science, but also of being able to express results precisely in writing.
From her viewpoint as the daughter of two "K" alums and the mother of two more, Ann Soukup says, "Kalamazoo College is one of the most special places on earth…. It instills in its students the love of life-long learning as it prepares them to be successful throughout their careers."

Faithful to the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, our Mission is to provide high-quality care for the body, mind and spirit of every person.
To achieve this Mission, we pledge to be creative, visionary leaders in clinical care, education and research, committed to holistic healthcare throughout the region.
The beautiful stained glass mural at left is the focal point at Alegent Creighton Health's system offices located at The McAuley Center, and serves as a reminder of our Mission to all who enter.
Read more about the Mission Wall.
In 1887, Pastor Fogelstrom and five Deaconesses created a ministry that emphasized "works of mercy." As their ministry progressed, the works of these individuals developed into programs that served the sick, cared for and educated orphaned and neglected children, and offered support for widows and the elderly, which set the course for Immanuel's future.
In 1910, Sr. Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy opened Saint Catherine's Hospital at Ninth and Forest Streets. In 1964, a 250-bed hospital, known as Bergan Mercy, was opened near 72nd and Center Streets, The hospital was named in honor of the Sisters of Mercy and the late Archbishop Gerald T. Bergan. Bergan Mercy Hospital became Bergan Mercy Health System of the Midlands in 1985 when Bergan and Mercy Hospital, Council Bluffs, Iowa merged. During 1991, Bergan Mercy Hospital expanded to offer comprehensive healthcare and became Bergan Mercy Medical Center.
In June 1996, Bergan Mercy Health System and Immanuel Medical Center came together to form Alegent Health.
Profound respect and awe for all of creation, the foundation that shapes spirituality,
our relationships with others and our journey to God.
Moral wholeness, soundness, fidelity, trust, truthfulness in all we do
Solidarity with one another, capacity to enter into another's joy and sorrow.

Edinburgh - Forest Cafe, Kings Theatre and St Giles
St Giles Cathedral on the High Street. I once was a volunteer guide here and remain fond of the place. It is an impressive medieval building with graceful arches, fine cast iron, a memorial to Robert Louis Stevenson and wee bagpiping angels in the Thistle Chapel.
Forest Cafe
141 Lauriston Place
Tollcross, Edinburgh EH3 9JN

So glorious! I love reading about your journey!ReplyDelete
I love the artwork in that cafe - and seeing a pantomime in winter in Edinburgh sounds like such a classic activity :)ReplyDelete
Another great recommendation. You are fitting so much in!ReplyDelete
As soon as I saw Forest Cafe in the title I thought of the enormous plate of nachos Michael and I ate there on our visit a few years ago! Yours look a little more modest and varied in comparison. :-)ReplyDelete

Or ....
1) Equip base gear
2) Gem according to what you need most
3) Re-check and reforge stats where needed
4) Profit!!! (once you actually manage to kill a boss)
I was thinking about how exactly I would use these equations to optimize my gear and it seems like we need a better way to go about that than finding the break even point. The break even point is good to look at if you are going to balance with gems, but ideally you would balance as much as possible with reforging before going to gems so that you can use as many stam gems as possible.
Im no theorycrafting wiz, so someone tell me if this is wrong.
Steps in balancing your ratings:
1. Maximize the damage reduction formula as a function of AR and MR. Use the equation AR = TR - MR to replace AR in the formula so you can take the derivative, where TR is Total Ratings (MR + AR).
2. Once you get the optimal ratings, try to reforge as close as possible to those.
3. After you have reforged as much as possible, take your current higher rating (MR or AR) and plug it into the break even equation, then gem as much as possible to get close to that value.
Or ....
1) Equip base gear
2) Gem according to what you need most
3) Re-check and reforge stats where needed
4) Profit!!! (once you actually manage to kill a boss)
Well the problem with that is that you are gemming first, when you should save it for last so that you can gem as much stam as possible instead of using more of your gem slots to try to balance ratings. Also, when you reforge, both your AR and MR change so every time you reforge you would have a new break even point unless you are using hit/exp to reforge, but I don't think you will have a lot of that to play around with.
If stam is completly better than everything else you would gem for stam anyway.
If stam does not as good so it is better to gem accoringly to gem color (that's what most think would be the case: so stam/something else in red or yellow) you have answerd the gems, too, before you start reforging.
Only if you are very close to a cap it may be better to reforge first and fine tune with gems later.
Stam is without a doubt better when it comes to magic damage, which is where a lot of the burst/chance to die comes from your average boss mob.KatzaziIf stam is completly better than everything else you would gem for stam anyway.

Only if you are very close to a cap it may be better to reforge first and fine tune with gems later.
Stam is most likely still better in general too, but that remains to be seen.
I for one am going to definitely be landing in the "get other stats from reforging, then gem as much stamina as you can" camp.
That is pointless, you can not get Stamina from reforging and your avoidance stats do not greatly influence your need for Stamina.
Therefor, you might as well just gem all the stamina you want, at which point you already have all the avoidance ratings on your gear you can have. Only thing left to do then is to optimize within that number of stats.
I agree wartotem, I was just thinking along the lines that if I'm just a few rating off, or I need to choose between a stam/dodge or a stam/mastery gem.
Still, maximizing the DR function will give me a more concrete goal to shoot for, and make sure that I dont go past the break even point with reforging.
Anyone actually have the DR equation I'm looking for? All I've seen are the two break even equations.
Once I have Rawr fully up-to-date (it's very close with my commits over the weekend, we are just waiting for the new gear to be imported) it should make figuring out these cross-over points dynamically quite easy--especially as Rawr now has support for optimizing reforging.
On a related note, with the loss of Defense (which was extremely efficient) combined with the increased Stamina to Health gains at 85, there is really no argument of Stamina vs. Avoidance gemmings anymore. Stamina is massively better from everything I can see, even with a Burst Time model that would have previously given a window to hybrid gemmings in Wrath.
(It's possible at high levels of Mastery, it could open up a window for competing for the value of socket bonuses, but at current gear levels it seems pretty hard to match the value of Stamina at 85.)
However, there is going to be room for various optimizations in regard to reforging one rating into another. This is likely to be a lot more variable, which is why I will most likely just use Rawr for this as it's good for that type of gear-based decision-making.
While some could make that argument, I'm not sure how valid it is with the current healing model.
Probably content for another thread, but one could easily argue that by normalizing the rate at which you take damage you are going to save healers mana, even if they have to heal you slightly more. The reason for this being that using their fast and large heals are less efficient than their slow/small spam heal. If they can regularly assume you will not spike die (e.g. emphasizing a Burst Time-esque model) they can have more confidence in spamming their efficient heal and not need to use their inefficient ones. (Provided you don't have such an unbalanced set of stats that you need insane healing--but Burst Time tends to prevent that as well.)
May make another topic on this.
Rawr4 has all the modern updates, which means just the Silverlight (web) version for now with the WPF (app) version coming along after that is all stable with Cataclysm. (I'm not a massive fan of the Silverlight version myself, but it does work at the very least!)
I noticed something curious today. The buff you get from shieldblock states the amount of block and crit block that is increased. I checked a few numbers and the results are interesting if the tooltip is correct.
Looks like shieldblock gives 25% block + (parry+dodge+block+miss-50)% crit block
Unhittable crit block increase
72% 22%
75% 25%
82% 32%
99,9% 49%
103% 53%
Nice find. I just checked with different sets of gear and it's true.
At 95.18% avoidance+block, the tooltip says increases critical block chance by 45%.
At 88.29% avoidance+block, the tooltip says 38%.
At 83.99% avoidance+block, the tooltip says 34%.
Now the question is: is this intended?
But the shield block buff tooltip is showing values twice as much as you would expect.
It seems reasonable enough at first glance, but I don't want to get too excited.

The AKG K495 NC are 'active' noise-cancelling headphones featuring the kind of sonics and advanced features that has made these Austrian headphone mavens world-famous. Excellent sound quality for the NC category brings a clearly "AKG" sense of focused detail resolution to the mids/highs supported by non-obtrusive bass. Brushed metal parts for extra long-life durability, quick-detach cables in 2 different lengths, handy USB charging, and super-soft ear cushions provide a sumptous listening experince on your travels. 3-D axis folding headband collapses into provided AKG case for transit.
Product Features:
- Excellent ambient noise attenuation via 'active' powered cancellation
- New super-soft headband design + earpad cushioning
- Two detachable cables provided in different lengths
- Unique 3-D Axis' headband collapses flat for ease of travel
- Superb AKG clarity of tone from world-famous headphone professionals
- 40 hour run time per charge; can still listen even when batteries empty!

What's In The Box:
- Travel / transit case
- (2) Detachable audio cables
- USB charging cable
- Airline flight adapter plug
- AKG owner's manual
The AKG K495NC noise-cancelling travel headphone enters an intensely competitive field of recently developed 'active' noise-attenuation technologies and superb sound quality performance by the likes of newcomers Polk and stalwart Audio-Technica headphones. The K495NC's quite awesome machined-metal looks brands it with a mature sense of European style not previously seen in this category, along with the expected tough-built durability to withstand the rigors of the road. The K495 NC tone is well-engineered for computer-based music and movie watching with the expected clarity of mids/highs and the same tightly wound bass response that AKG brings to their upper-tier audiophile models. The noise-cancelling circuitry is 'active' [battery-powered] and works principally to squash some of the lower-frequency sonic rumble heard in airline cabins or commuting on the train. However, it does not seem to focus all that well on higher-pitched speech or loud close talkers, so the wailing kid behind you might still penetrate your blissful headphone coccoon from time to time. As a major plus, the AKG K495NC still functions for audio even without batteries (or if the batteries go dead), something not always possible with some other NC headphones. Earpad coverage is deemed as "full-size" but larger-eared listeners may find the circumaural ear cushions resting gently on the outer earlobes, depending of course on your highly particular melon geometry. The K495NC fit remains quite comfortable in all cases due to the high-quality butter-soft earpad material, which also helps to provide some further insulation against ambient noise intrusion when worn tight to the head.
As indicated above, the AKG K495 NC features a uniquely attractive black-on-brushed metal look ensuring no one will mistake these for those ubiquitous, boring 'four-letter' noise-cancelling headphones worn by the unwashed audio sheeple on every dang flight; not to mention, the K495's clear sound quality will easily best almost any other NC headphone currently available! Although listed as a full-size circumaural design, the K495 earpads are actually a mid-sized dimension somewhere between 'on-ear' and 'around-the-ear' fit styles. The fully collapsible, folding headband design helps to make these headphones very easy to carry around inside your carry-on without fuss or muss compared to larger travel-oriented headphones. The AKG K495 NC headband construction is simply built and appears durable with good fit adjustment ability and plush padding all around. Charging of the headphone's internal battery is possible via either standard AC adapter or via USB from any computer.The AKG 2-year 'repair or replace' premium manufacturer's warranty stays free with your HeadRoom "authorized AKG dealer" purchase receipt.

Well week 8 has ended....onto week 9. I thought I'd share my week 8 results. So I have only lost 6lbs off the scale. According to tracker that translates to 9lbs of body fat lost and 3lbs of muscle gained. I've lost 2 inches off off my waist, hips, chest & bust. And 3 inches off the abdomen (measured at naval). I was about to give up at Week 5. I'm glad I've stuck with it. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 4 weeks!
I put my progress pic on my profile. Or you can see them on tracker - I'm HeatherC there too. Now remember I had no intention of ever showing anyone these pics or I would have at least put on some makeup! :) But I've seen so many people around week 4 and 5 that are feeling just like I was so maybe this will help them stick it out.
Nice work Heather - I see some great changes. Kick the next 4 weeks hard and you will be amazed at the changes to come.
Thanks! I'm going to give it all I've got!
Holy Smokes! Heather great job. The 8th week pic shows much improvement!
I am 1 click behind you and starting up the 8th week, so when week 8 is done I'll post my before and week 8 pic.
Thanx for sharing. I know it helps us all to stay on track and keep the motivation and the energy levels high!
Can't wait to see your 12 week results!
~Marqui D C1W8D50
Congrats on the losses!!!!!! You look GREAT!! The best is yet to come! Trust me!! :)
Glad you posted them, I remember the other day (at least I think it was you!) who said I'm going to try to be brave enough to post mine....You look wonderful...what are you talking about lady!! lol!
Keep up the Fantastic work! :)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
Thanks Marqui! I was pretty discouraged after week 4 pics because there was just so little difference. The only noticeable difference was in my backside...which was enough to keep me going. I'm so glad I did. It was nice to finally see a significant change taking place.
Yep Debbie that was me. I wasn't sure there was going to be enough of a change to share. I think when I see myself daily I don't notice the changes. After taking the pic even my husband was shocked to see the difference! I can't wait for week 12! I'm going to kick some butt!
Right on Sister!!!! I saw most of my changes in wks 9-12 so looking forward to your progress!!! :)
HeatherC you are doing a great job!! Congrats on trusting the process and it only gets better from here!!
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
Nice job! I am starting week 4 today, and like you, haven't seen ANY "real" changes yet, not even on the scale, so hopefully by week 8, I can see some results, as you have! I told myself, that if by week 4 I haven't seen anything, I'd bump up the cardio & the weights, so we'll see how that goes this week.
Live TODAY like there's no TOMORROW!
Heather! FABULOUS job!!! The great thing is... you have gotten the slow part OUT OF THE WAY ALREADY. The rest will be FUN to watch!!!
Keep up the great work!!!
Heather! Awesome job- you can really see the changes around your waist and rib cage area. Your stomach looks alot tighter too!
Keep it up!!
Stacy Lynn
Thank you all so much! Saturday night my sister-in-law got so sick of me pulling up my jeans she told me to "go buy a new pair of pants already!" But damn I hate do do that right now. I'm hoping to get down another size in the next 4 weeks! :)
yeah. What an awful thing to have to do..... :)
Congrats HeatherC. You look great! I too am entering week 9. I'm really stoked about the next 4 weeks because in my previous challenges it has been those last 4 weeks where I have seen the biggest changes. In fact just in the last few workouts I have started to see a nice vein down my bicep which is a sign of losing the bodyfat. Keep up the good work and let's finish strong!!
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Your results are helping me keep going today! Thank you!! Starting week 4 and haven't had good motivation today. I know I need to stick with the program...and hopefully I'll be posting some pictures with good results in 4 more weeks :) Thank you!

What has separated the SEC from others in the last decade is extraordinary interior line talent. Alabama's offensive line blew Notre Dame halfway back to South Bend, Ind., in last month's Bowl Championship Series title rout, and there is no defensive lineman anywhere within a country mile of South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney.
Nkemdiche gives Ole Miss that kind of potential stopper presence, although we'll certainly hold judgment until the Rebels actually play a game. Ole Miss finished only 7-6 last year, 3-5 in the rugged SEC West. The Rebels got blown out at home, 66-31, by a Texas team that amassed 767 yards.
"I think today has the possibility of being a program changer," third-year Ole Miss Coach Hugh Freeze said.
Not surprisingly, Oxford being in the South, some people are convinced Ole Miss must have cheated to score this kind of recruiting class. The chatter got so loud Freeze took to Twitter last week to challenge social media to a cyberspace fight.
"If you have facts about a violation, sent it to email@example.com," Freeze tweeted. "If not, please do not slander these young men or insult their family."
Freeze had to remove the post after the school got bombarded with slanderous accusations and multitudes of insults directed toward the players' families. Ah, life in the SEC.
First-year Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema found out first-hog-hand. His recruiting class was supposed to include top running back Alex Collins out of Florida. Collins, though, didn't sign as scheduled, and it was rumored his mother stole his letter of intent because she did not want him to leave the state.
What about the other leagues?
Well, Ohio State and Michigan carried top-10 days for a Big Ten Conference that would still probably rather talk about Big Ten basketball.
And, if you didn't know better, you'd think the Pac-12 Conference was reclassified to Football Championship Subdivision. UCLA had an outstanding day, cracking the top 10 in many guessing indexes while clearly surpassing USC for premature bragging rights. UCLA may have even added enough good players to beat Baylor in a Holiday Bowl.
USC, if you believe rankings, played the end of recruiting about as well as it did the Sun Bowl. The Trojans had more "decommits" than Taylor Swift.
Stanford, coming off its first Rose Bowl win in four decades, placed No. 63 in the Rival.com ratings. Don't panic, Cardinal fans, you signed a small, 12-player class and have 14 starters back from a team that could definitely still beat Ole Miss.
Oregon, the Fiesta Bowl champion, never needed top-10 classes to win under Chip Kelly and is apparently taking the same approach with new Coach Mark Helfrich. Oregon finished in the No. 20 rankings range but was able to flip defensive end Torrodney Prevot from USC.
