Striving to Be Disciples
Priests and Staff / Nuestro Sacerdote y Personal
by Fr. Kevin Carlin Kennedy
Dear Fellow Parishioners:
At the beginning of Mass one of my favorite ways to greet you is by welcoming you as disciples. I prefer that title for all of us because it speaks to me of a community of people committed to a mission. I believe that better describes who we are rather than a group of individuals that happened to show up in the same church at the same time. You might ask what I intend to communicate when I refer to us as disciples. Today and for the next two weeks I will offer my thoughts on how I think about us as disciples.
Disciples are people who are actively listening for God?s prompting through scripture and worship. Together we are learning how Jesus? message connects with our daily lives. We celebrate our unity through the sacraments (especially the Sunday Eucharist). We experience joy, hope and fellowship through the Holy Spirit and endeavor to see our participation in God?s plan for the world.
Maybe my description sounds too perfect but I think that it?s true to what we are striving to be. My hope is that when we hear the word ?disciple? we don?t just think of the people who followed Jesus over 2,000 years ago but that we think about ourselves as following Jesus today. What does the word disciple mean to you?
Your brother,
Fr. Kevin Carlin Kennedy

Homebuyers will be paying higher fees on mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) after the agency announced this week that it is hiking fees in an effort to bolster its reserves and encourage the return of private capital to the housing market.
From REALTOR® Magazine:
Starting April 1, FHA will increase its annual mortgage insurance premium for loans under $625,500, from 1.15 percent of the loan amount to 1.25 percent. Starting June 1, larger loan premiums will increase 0.35 percent of a percentage point, bringing the total premium costs up to 1.5 percent of the loan amount, The New York Times reports. FHA also will raise a fee for the upfront mortgage premium by 0.75 of a percentage point, which will now total 1.75 percent of the loan amount.
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) issued the following response to the announcement:
"While NAR is opposed to increasing any barriers to homeownership, the increase in Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF) premiums is an unfortunate byproduct of our continuing housing crisis. FHA is, and has been, a critical tool in restoring the health of the housing market and ensuring its safety and soundness is essential. However, once the MMIF is stabilized, FHA should reduce premiums commensurate with risk."

It was fairly easy to prune 153 images down to a long-list of 30. Where subjects had been duplicated, I selected the best-framed of the set. I also eliminated images with gross technical faults, very poor framing or very cluttered backgrounds.
Selecting the final 9 for printing and submission took longer. I decided to opt for large-wheeled bikes, because I found that complete or near-complete rear wheels formed a dominant picture element, distracting from the main subject (the gearing and chain). I selected a set with reasonably consistent framing, which I was able to improve on with minimal cropping. During print preparation in Lightroom, I noted that two selected images were not sufficiently sharp, and therefore had to select substitutes.
These are the images finally selected and printed:
All images are RAW files, processed in Lightroom. Global settings were used to increase clarity, reduce vibrance and open-up the shadows. I also attempted to make the histograms as similar as possible, particularly the central peak which represents the colour of the paving.
Finally, to complete my homage to the Bechers, I produced a tenth image, being a composite print.

Wow, this is horrible.
PETA's New Comic for Kids - a Real-Life Horror Story!
PETA activists - including cuddly, costumed raccoons and foxes - are making guest appearances outside performances of The Nutcracker across the country this holiday season with a cheeky message of compassion. As children arrive to see the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy," some will be unaware that their mothers are already starring in a real-life horror story! PETA will be there to greet any fur-clad moms and their children with their newest anti-fur leaflet-PETA Comics presents..."Your Mommy Kills Animals!"
Kids will see the bloody truth behind their moms' pretentious pelts. Accompanied by graphic photographs of skinned carcasses and animals languishing on fur farms, children will read: "Lots of wonderful foxes, raccoons, and other animals are kept by mean farmers who squish them into cages so small that they can hardly move. They never get to play or swim or have fun. All they can do is cry-just so your greedy mommy can have that fur coat to show off in when she walks the streets."
That's traumatizing for the kids, why would they do something like that?

The above is a close-up of part of the Commodore 64 keyboard. I spent much of the 1980s figuring out the innards of that beastie. It served me well. Note that even back then, there was a superfluous "operating system brand" key -- I remember the "Commodore key" giving access to the weird emoji-like symbols you can see printed on the fronts of the letter keys. Each of those symbols also served as shorthand commands for various things. I remember that printing the heart symbol was obligatory at the beginning of most programs, since it was equivalent to a "clear screen" command.
But if you want even more keys for symbols, non-standard shift-key sequences, and overall high weirdness, you can't go wrong with the Space Cadet Keyboard:
|Click to zoom... you won't be disappointed
Roman numerals! Thumbs-up and thumbs-down keys! Hyper, Super, and Meta?!? I especially like the keys for set theory, partial differentiation, and infinity. Hat tip to the great Ron Hale-Evans for introducing me to this one.
However, if you're really into the state of the art, I suggest you find an Optimus Maximus... in which each key contains a fully programmable little screen that you can change to any image you want...
This one made me think of the esoteric, customized keyboard (with a similar tactile look to it) that someone spent a lot of time in crafting for just one brief scene in the 1979 sci-fi movie Alien:
|Another one to click on and be amazed
Note all the quasi-Buddhist Theosophical terms... Aum, Padme, and Hum all make an appearance. Also Lingha and Yoni... as well as "Agaric Fly" next to "Trip." (If you don't know, I ain't sayin.) But what exactly is a "Druze Pile," and how does one get rid of "Shakti Excess?" These keys might come in handy if you encounter Ascended Master Koot Hoomi on the seventh etheric plane, but I'm not sure how they helped Ripley blast a xenomorph out of the airlock. See here for some additional exegesis of the fonts, buttons, and keyboards from Alien.
But anyway, now that we're firmly transported into the future, I can't help but also remember some other buttons and keypads out of my nostalgic sci-fi dreams...
|Don't do it, Scotty!
Putting aside the obvious question (i.e., how would anyone remember what each button does if they're not labeled?), let me just point you to an amazing web page that tracks down the origins of every gol-dang button on the bridge of the original starship Enterprise. Some were repurposed from existing electronic equipment, and some were made from pouring colored resin into ice trays. Don't believe me on the latter, do you? See some recent fan attempts to make some!
|This image speaks to me in a language I don't understand, but must follow. :-)
Another sci-fi TV show with interesting background graphical elements was 1978's Battlestar Galactica. I loved all the quasi-Egyptoid and pseudo-Mormon symbolism, but in a post about buttons and keyboards, the closest thing I can think of is the joystick of the Colonial Viper ship...
The image on the left is the one seen most often... "fire" and "turbo" are obvious, and "IM" (inverse maneuver) was only used once: a rapid stop and reverse. The image on the right was shown rarely -- possibly accidentally -- since it was the unaltered version. This prop really came from the cockpit of a Vietnam-era surveillance plane; it must have controlled the remote cameras on the outside of the aircraft.
Anyway, that's all for now. If you're hungry for more stuff like this, there's a lot out there for the astute searcher. There's also a surprising amount of interest in deconstructing the methods and meanings of sci-fi TV and movie "interfaces," too. The blog that explored the Alien buttons and fonts also delved deeply into Kubrick's 2001 and a few other movies. This blog had fascinating multi-post musings about the interfaces of Logan's Run, The Fifth Element, and quite a few others.
Lastly, I thought I'd show you the most sophisticated keyboard of all. For the budding pirates in the audience, I give you the Corsair!

Frameworks & Alliances
Frameworks and alliances are of increasing importance to clients, contractors and consultants to secure long term relationships and build effective teams. We have pioneered new approaches to establish successful strategic relationships in a wide variety of sectors including government, affordable housing, commercial development, education, health, infrastructure and hotels.
We are accredited members of the Catalist panel of selected legal advisers established by OGC Buying Solutions under which government and other public sector clients can access our construction legal services on standard terms and conditions and rates without tendering. For further information, please refer to http://www.ogcbuyingsolutions.gov.uk
We are also appointed by the Department of Communities and Local Government as National Change Agent (alongside Davis Langdon LLP) to advise Social Landlords on forming Consortia to achieve efficiencies through joint working. For further information, please refer to http://www.ncahousing.org.uk
We have extensive knowledge of the practical issues arising from strategic framework approaches and alliances (including compliance with EU Procurement, the knock-on effect on Employment and Pensions). Our experience means that we provide unrivalled support in setting up frameworks and alliances, ensuring compliance with legislation and achieving clear agreement as to the roles and responsibilities of clients, contractors and consultants.

A fresh approach to being 'pro-life'
Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D), a leading gubernatorial candidate, made a campaign stop in Brownsville, Texas, and offered voters her take on reproductive rights. As Wayne Slater reported, Davis doesn't see her support for abortion rights as incompatible with her concern for life.
"I am pro-life," she said, borrowing a phrase from anti-abortion activists. "I care about the life of every child: every child that goes to bed hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who worry about their children's future and their ability to provide for that future. I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else."
This hasn't gone over well on the right. Breitbart's report called Davis' perspective "astonishing," while Hot Air described the Texan's argument as "ludicrous."
But it doesn't have to be. Political phrases are chosen for their rhetorical and persuasive value, and we've come to think of "pro-life" as a shorthand for those who support laws to prevent women from terminating unwanted pregnancies.
There's no reason, however, the politically charged phrase can't be expanded to be more inclusive – including concern for babies after they're born. Wendy Davis has an uphill fight ahead of her, but she's already confronting hot-button issues in creative ways.

This is a very interesting book, written by Doctor SusannaWade Martins of the University of East Anglia.
Throughout her career she has studied the Holkham estate in some detail, and therefor it is highly appropriate that she has written the first biography of Thomas Coke–Coke of Norfolk-in over a hundred years.
And it is of interest to anyone who has read Jane Austen's books and has wondered what exactly did Mr knightly do? How would Elizabeth and Darcy have spent their time at Pemberley? What was Darcy's life like before he met Elizabeth? What should Henry Crawford have been doing at this estate at Everingham?
I know from my experience in the past ten years with online Austen communities that speculation about these pressing questions continues apace amongst those of us who are interested in these characters and their lives.
Reading this book will , in my opinion give you one of the best impressions of the type of life they might have led, in one single, very readable, affordable volume.
Now, do note, I am certainly not arguing that Coke of Norfolk was the basis for any of Jane Austen's landowning charcters.What I am saying is that reading this book will give a good over view of the type of life these characters may have led on their estates in the English countryside,and instead of trawling though many varied books to try an understand just what that life was like , you can now purchase this one volume as a starting point and be very well served by it.
Thomas Coke inherited, in 1776, the great Holkham estate with as its magnificent centre piece of this Palladian mansion, designed by Matthew Brettingham
It was in wonderful heart. He continued to improve it and the conditions of his tenant farms, wanting to encourage gentlemen into the profession to raise standards of his tenantry and consequently of his farms and stock. The detail of how this improvement was achieved- by buildings, lease terms etc- is chronicled in a clear and very readable manner by Doctor Matins,
Prior to inheriting, Coke he lived the life of an upper class gentleman, being educated on a Grand Tour
Here he is, above, as depicted by Pompeo Batoni while in Rome.
And then he entered politics. He was a Whig supporter all his life and was vociferously opposed to the war with America ,talking the side of the colonists. He also supported the abolition of the slave trade, the emancipation of Catholics and parliamentary reform.
Here is his political map of Norfolk drawn up for Coke by Humphrey Repton-also from Norfolk- who was a parliamentary agent prior to gaining fame-and mentions in Mansfield Park– as the first "landscape designer'.It was designed and commissioned to show the extent of political interest of both the Tory and Whig parties in Norfolk:
This book covers his personal life as well as his political life and there it is of great interest to those of us who wonder how Darcy and Elizabeth would have organised their domestic life at Pemberley. Family life for the Cokes was concentrated mainly around Holkham and the orgnaisiation of the domestic life of the house was firmly in the hands of many capable women-namely Cokes first wife and his daughter who took over the domestic reigns on her mother's death. Doctor Martins gives a detailed account of estate life from the point of view of the women in the family and it makes for very interesting reading.
I can highly recommend it for anyone interested in the lives of the upper classes of this period.
For a more detailed examination of the organisation and development of such a large estate, then I can recommend anther book by Doctor Martins:
A Great Estate at Work is a fascinating book, the result of Doctor Martin's work for her Phd thesis.She was granted access to the Holkham Archive and the result is a fabulously detailed book chronicling the development of the estate from 1776-1860. Obvoiulsy this covers more than the period about which Jane Austen wrote, but it is a great help to read it in order to set in context the improvements of the agrarian revolution and how they panned out later in the 19th century.
In the same vein this book,above, The English Model Farm again by Doctor Martins is rather on the specialised side , but is fascinating, showing how landlord were able to develop the ideal farming conditions, if they were sufficiently interested and motivated during the period 1700-1914. I am afriad it now appears to be out of print,but for anyone seriously interested in the development of farm bulings etc during this period I can highly reccommend it.
For those of you interested in the social effects of the agrarian revolution, for example, the social distress caused by enclosing the land , then I can recommend this book by another member of staff at the University of East Anglia: Professor Tom Wilkinson.
The Transformation of Rural England is a fascinating book for in great detail, it chronicles the impact of the improvements in agriculture and the changes in the usage of the land as a result. In addition it deals with the physical effect on the landscape and the social consequences of these improvements. I highly recommend it,but it is rather technical and detailed, and I would only recommend purchasing it to those of us who are serious students of the subject.
But for a good and comprehensive view of the type of improvements that someone like Mr Knightley might have made and the type of life he and Darcy might have lead I can think of no better introduction than Susanna Wade Martins book on Thomas Coke. And as it is soon to be released in paperback form at a very reasonable price :got to it,say I !

"Sir, I am IgA Nephropathy patient, my creatinine level 6.1 and hemoglobin is 8.8, what should I do?" we get the question on our website. In order to help more patients, the kidney experts from Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of China give the answer. Sincerely hope you get benefits from the passage.
IgA Nephropathy is the most common form of glomerulonephritis that occurs when an antibody called immunoglobulin A lodges in glomeruli. It damages the tiny filtering units of the kidney. It is a common sense that one of the kidney's most important jobs is to filter toxic wastes products from the blood and glomeruli play a key role in the process. However, for patients with IgA nephropathy. As more glomeruli are damaged by the IgA protein, the kidney progressively loses its ability to clear wastes from the body. In the condition, symptoms will occur.
What do creatinine 6.1 and hemoglobin 8.8 mean?
Creatinine is as high as 6.1, which implies your kidneys are severely damaged. The damaged kidneys can not secrete enough hemoglobin, so your hemoglobin level decreases. Low hemoglobin level can make you fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin and so on. Therefore, you should pay more attention and take immediate treatments. To know more details, please do feel free to contact our Online Doctors or email to email@example.com and we will do our best to help you.
What should you do with the condition?
1. Diet
Balanced and healthy diet plan is one of important parts for protecting kidney from the damage. In order to reduce kidneys' burden, patients should have a low-protein and low-salt intake. And patients should limit intake of meat, so as to reduce metabolic product of creatinine. Foods rich in iron or even iron supplement is needed to stimulate the body to make more red blood cells. This can increase the hemoglobin level to some extent.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
The treatment comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which combines western medical equipment. Through the dilating blood vessels, promoting blood circulation, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation of extracellular matrix, kidney damage can be repaired from the root.

I'll be honest with you: As good and thorough as the MPR News investigation was into clergy abuse at the now-bankrupt Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the cover-up therein, I never thought Archbishop John Nienstedt would fall. The church has been too determined not to be taken down for its misdeeds.
That, of course, changed today when Nienstedt resigned, we suspect under pressure from a pope who has shown determination to address the scandals in his church.
"The Catholic Church is not our Church, but Christ's Church, and we are merely stewards for a time," Nienstedt said. "My leadership has unfortunately drawn attention away from the good works of His Church and those who perform them. Thus, my decision to step down."
The resignation comes just a few days after Pope Francis issued new standards of accountability for bishops.
Says the Catholic Reporter…
The first of the five points states that there is a "duty" to report "allegations of the abuse of office by a bishop connected to the abuse of minors" to the Vatican, specifically the three congregations which oversee bishops: the Congregation for Bishops, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
The guidelines had no credibility as long as Nienstedt, whose archdiocese was charged with failing to protect children from pedophile priests, stayed.
Three days ago, former assistant U.S. attorney Hank Shea called for Nienstedt to resign in an open letter to the archbishop.
First, it will help stop the bleeding. The entire archdiocese has been suffering spiritual death caused by a thousand cuts due to a failure of leadership. Although the wrongdoing did not begin with you, it continued under your watch and you remained willfully blind to it.
"I leave with a clear conscience knowing that my team and I have put in place solid protocols to ensure the protection of minors and vulnerable adults," Nienstedt said in his announcement.
The comments section below is open for your thoughtful discussion. For Catholics in particular, does the resignation make a difference in how your view the church?

Naturopathic Methods of Diagnosis & Treatment
Naturopathic doctors use the following diagnostic and treatment modalities:
Nutritional medicineIn 420 BC, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said, "Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can cure the patient with food." Many of the chronic health problems that plague Americans today are the result of poor dietary and lifestyle choices. Illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, and gastrointestinal problems develop as a consequence of the food we choose. By changing our diet and adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can often change or reverse the course of an illness and restore health. Naturopathic doctors are trained in assessing nutritional status and recommending dietary changes and vitamin and mineral supplementation.
Botanical medicine Botanical medicine (phytotherapy)herbal medicinehas been used for thousands of years. Current scientific studies have validated the use of many plants as medicines. Today, 80 percent of the world's population uses plants to treat illness. Plants are used medicinally because they do not have high toxicity, accumulate in the body, or cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms. Herbs are used to enhance immune function; improve digestion; normalize bodily functions; destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi; soothe irritated tissues; calm nerves; and relax muscles. Examples of botanical treatments are teas, poultices, and tinctures.
HydrotherapyHydrotherapy, or water therapy, is the application of water to initiate cure. It is a safe and painless therapy that can be done at home for all types of injury and illness. Some common hydrotherapy treatments are hot foot bath, constitutional hydrotherapy, warming socks, and the castor oil pack.
HomeopathyIn the 18th century, Dr. Samuel Hahneman discovered that substances that cause specific symptoms in large doses could cure those same symptoms in infinitesimal doses. For example, when a healthy individual is given quinine in large doses, it produces symptoms of malaria. Yet, when very small doses of quinine are given to an individual with malaria, it helps ease the symptoms. This is known as the Law of Similars. Homeopathic medicines, known as remedies, are produced from animals, plants, and minerals.
The naturopathic doctors prescribes remedies based on an individual's unique symptoms or characteristics. This means that two people who have the flu may receive different remedies because their symptoms are different. It requires training and skill to determine the appropriate remedy. When the appropriate remedy (called the similimum) is given, it can produce powerful and effective results. Homeopathy is used to treat all forms of acute and chronic illness and injury and is safe for children, pregnant or lactating women, and the elderly.
Other diagnostic and treatment modalities include
- Diagnostic radiology and other imaging techniques
- Physical medicine (i.e., ultrasound, microcurrent, manipulation)
- Minor surgery
- Naturopathic obstetrics (requires additional training)

Long time no see
Due to a shoulder tendinitis, i've been quite silent lately. No big projects were possible, fortunately it's getting better now. Besides i have a severe case of photograph-virus, making lovely pictures of my beautiful grandchildren. Here are some results.
Fenna, 4 years old
Morris, 1 years old
Laura, 6 months
However, i did some small projects, like socks...
and an earflap hat, scarf and mittens for the little one. On the top of the hat i crocheted a couple of corkscrews, instead of the usual pompon.
Hoping to begin a new bigger project soon!!!

I have a Treo 650 that I have accepted into my life as my personal lord and savior. It allows me greater mental freedom by offloading less important tasks like remembering anything.
For the last year, I've been using a Motorola HS850 with my Treo, and it's been very well behaved. But over that year, the driver element has started to crackle, the over the ear hanger bit is loosening up and the unit is prone to falling off easily. So I decided it was time to look for a new headset. Originally I ebayed a Moto H700 which turned out to be a cheap knockoff. That said, it didn't play nice with my Treo. So I gave it to a friend (it was only $30, good sign it was a knockoff) and yesterday I picked up a legit H700 at FutureShop.
I have a PalmOne Treo 650. Hardware revision A, Firmware 01.71, and Software Treo650-1.20-ENA. The legit H700 didn't work with this phone. Disabled bluetooth, deleted the bluetooth device cache and trusted devices list, did a soft reset, turned bluetooth on then paired the H700 with my 650 and it still didn't work. The H700 would pair with my phone and take itself out of discoverable mode, it would show up in my trusted devices list. It was non functional as a headset. Couldn't answer a call, couldn't transfer a call from the handset to the headset. Flipping open the boom didn't "wake-up" the handset either. Every standard behavior I'm accustomed to with my HS850 didn't work.
I tried the above in car-kit mode as well. Still no dice.
The only redeeming bit to the entire story is that there was no hassle returning the headset to FutureShop. And so, the search continues for a new headset to replace my trusty but dieing HS850.

Core i5-3230M 2.6GHz is a middle-class mobile processor based on the 22nm, Ivy Bridge architecture.
It offers 2 Physical Cores (4 Logical), initially clocked at 2.6GHz, which may go up to 3.2GHz and 3MB of L3 Cache.
Among its many features, Turbo Boost and Virtualization are activated and the processor has multiplier unlocked.
The processor integrates mildly powerful Graphics called Intel HD Graphics 4000, with 16 Execution Units, initially clocked at 650MHz and that go up to 1100MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor.
Both the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 35W.
It offers average performance. This means it will become a bottleneck in some demanding applications.
Is this good enough with 8Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD for android development and frontend web development?
Hi i have this cpu on my laptop and i was wondering:will this bottleneck gtx 760 or a 960 in battlefield 4? Thanks in advance.
Can this CPU handle an external HD 7790 without any bottleneck?
Intel HD 4000 vs Nvidia 710M, is there even a noticeable point?
Manually Switch Graphics Cards!!!!!!
One Problem when using this CPU with any other GPU is that this CPU contains an Integrated Intel 4000 (BAD GPU) so whenever you want to play a game you need to
I'm planning to buy a notebook, but didn't decide yet which one would be better.
1.) i5-3230m, nVidia 740m 2GB DDR3 (128bit version)
2.) i7-4500u, Radeon HD 8850m 2GB DDR5 ?
will play games on 1366x768, so which one would perform better?
RAM and everything others is prett
Get the second one as it is well balanced, with both hardware with 7GD rank. It means that none of your component would bottleneck each other in games. When combined with 8GB ram, it could play next gen games on medium to high settings easily :D
Yeah, the Second notebook would be a better choice. At 1366x768 resolution, the second notebook will run most of the game at high settings. Also its balanced as said by Ajesh.
Hi all. This with AMD 8850M GDDR3 2GB?
should be a good match. the bottleneck will be the GPU in most games but that leaves a bit of excess CPU for stuff like music and things like that while gaming.
I actually have that exact setup and I have found it very good, A few tests have been Just Cause 2 30 FPS, High and Blacklight and War Thunder 60 FPS High
And now. How the heck is that CPU better than mine?
nice quastion :D you have the same speed per core but you have 2 cores more :DD in some games you should perform better, but in some games i think at least equally, anyway if i hade choice only between your and this cpu i would take your cpu :D:D OLD BUT GOLD
just i think "ive bridge" does it's buisness :P that's all :(((
I even have more Cache.
Structural Difference.
you sir have a nice CPU :D my dream cpu before.. but this i5 has better architecture, so.. it flies away faster than your quad.
Also i5 has Hyper-Threading technology (2 cores working on 4 threads) whereas the quad works on 4 cores and 4 threads…..
No. of cores doesn't matter. The technology of i5 is more powerful. You must have seen i3 processors. They are dual core but more powerful than many quad core processors of 2nd generation. So, i5 3230M is powerful than your quad core processor ;D
is this cpu good whit GT 650M slide in Lenovo IdeaPad Y500?
Yup. Better than Intel HD 4000. Quite better.

Where is the stock market headed?
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006
Categorized as: Savings Bonds and competitive investments
Given that stock prices have been up the last few months, it's easy to assume they'll continue in that direction for the foreseeable future. But some of the folks looking out the windshield see lower-than-expected performance over the next 10 years, particularly if inflation rises.
I've mentioned the weekly newsletter of John Mauldin here before in Should we worry about inflation?
In addition to his regular weekly newsletter, Mauldin publishes a weekly Outside the Box letter that has comments from other investment strategists. This week's article is by Ed Easterling, author of Unexpected Returns: Understanding Secular Stock Market Cycles and President of an investment management firm.
In the article, Beyond The Horizon: Economics & EPS, Easterling uses the stock market's historical earnings per share (EPS) and price to earnings ratios (PE), along with different inflation scenarios, to predict a range of performance for the stock market over the next 10 years.
A lot depends on future inflation rates, but if they're high, Easterling's analysis indicates that Series I Savings Bonds would outperform stocks over the next 10 years.

Here is a second entry from the randomly kept journal I began once I found out the news that I had finally been given the chance to be placed on the transplant list back in 2003. Looking back, it's odd for me to try and figure out what moments were worth chronicling, and what weren't. I was pretty single minded at that point, so that may explain why the entries are so few and far between.
Thursday, January 16, 2003.
Sitting at my desk at work, shuffling papers around, in an attempt to organize into piles what stuff I want to work on and in what order I want to do it. Some of the stuff is constantly being rearranged to the bottom of the pile. If it's eternally in my to-do stack, then maybe it will solve itself and never have to be addressed.
It's early. I am having troubles staying focused. I found out the other night that there might actually be a chance of one day finally receiving a kidney transplant.
I pull out a blank sheet of paper, once my desk has been straightened to my liking. I grab a KING SIZE marker pen and take a sniff from the tip. Whatever happened to those fruit smelling marker pens from childhood? Those were cool. I especially liked grape, or the purple one, which gets me to thinking about our societal approximation of grape. Though I enjoy grape gum and candy, it never tastes anything like any grapes I've ever had. They should give up the rouse and rename it "purple." It's not fooling anyone. I wonder if Grimace tastes like "Purple?" I shake my head to erase this thought, since Grimace would most likely not be an acceptable food for my dialysis diet.
On the blank paper I scrawl out a "Wanted" sign, which reads:
O+ Kidney
Right or Left
Take 6 weeks off!
Call: 503-413-XXXX
I stare at the paper for some time, as the glare of the bright white sheet reflecting the fluorescent beams above begins to burn my eyes. I see the rectangle now with every blink. The words blend together. Maybe I sniffed the toxic pen too much. I wonder what these things are made out of.
They're only a couple of people in the office this early in the morning. One of the benefits of coming in so early is the gradual nature of beginning the day. The energy of the business picks up about an hour in, so by then I have a chance to try and wake my sorry ass up.
I wander downstairs to the bulletin board near the front desk. I look for a place to tack my sign. This seems like a bad idea. The sign will only confuse anyone that looks at it. I kept it vague, because I don't want to be involved with picking my hopeful donor – but this is really more of a joke - a joke that no one will understand, because it's not funny.
Instead of tacking it up onto the fabric covered cubicle partition wall, I toss the paper into the recycling bin underneath the receptionist's desk. A few actual work tasks get accomplished, and then another blank sheet of paper comes out. I scratch out another message:
O+ Kidney
Male or Female
Right or Left
Willing to take 6 weeks off?
Maybe I should mail this off to Willamette Week's personals department. I'd rather have a date with a new kidney at this point than one with a hot blonde. Let me rethink that. I wonder what kind of responses such an ad would draw. Probably none, but if it did, they would undoubtedly be weird and scary. But, would it actually work?
I keep thinking to myself, how in the hell do other people find living donors? After dating a transplant patient last year, I learned that she received her kidney from her Mom. My Dad offered to donate, but the doctor's almost laughed him out of the room, which only filled him with rage – like most things do. Apparently, he's too old for his health to have a kidney removed without a lot of extra risk for both of us. So, that leaves out anyone in my immediate family. I've seen those feel good news stories about some random stranger donating a body part to someone simply because they are that damn generous and have been touched by the needing person's story. How do I get my tragic story onto the local news? How do I get one of those sweet talking beautiful reporters outfitted in a bright turquoise pantsuit to tell my story so that some saint can give a chunk of their flesh to save my pathetic life? Is there a network out there somewhere that I am unaware? Is there a special store where news people buy their clothes? Maybe it's because my story isn't particularly tragic and it's definitely not interesting. Still, for someone who has been strapped to a dialysis machine for over a year now, constantly inundated with kidney news and trivia and networks, I seem to be in the dark about how things work.
I toss the second sheet away and head back to my office upstairs. I really need to give my wonderful spacious private office up and move downstairs. It is becoming a struggle to climb these stairs several times a day. Somehow I always knew that cracking the age of 30 meant that I was officially old, but this is ridiculous.
Back at my desk, I bring up the Willamette Week personals page online. I do not see any ads for body parts. This is discouraging.
Typing "Kidney Transplant" into my search engine, I discover a website named Transweb. "Take the transplant journey," it says. I couldn't look any further.
Maybe a cadaver kidney is the way to go. I can handle another year or two or three of dialysis. Plus it would so exciting to be on call for a kidney. Maybe they'd give me a beeper, so they can reach me at any moment. Would the beeper call come while I'm sitting on the toilet, like all of my phone calls do?

Valerie Ackermann has put together a great resource for churches or homes for kids ages 7-12. The God Puzzle Book is a workbook style book that will allow a mom or teacher to walk a child through many many topics relating to their understanding of the Bible.
As a homeschool mom and Sunday School teacher, I often feel that our kids learn concepts in pieces, and they never quite fit together to create a BIG picture. This book will be a great tool to paint that BIG picture, each chapter weaves together another piece of the puzzle allowing the child to understand how they all fit together.
There are 36 chapters in this book, allowing you to work one per week for a typical school year. Subjects that are covered include : Who were the first people, what is the trinity, what is communion, how do I study the Bible.
I enjoyed looking through this book and think it would be a great addition to a homeschool library, or even a family that just wants to walk through a Bible study together. I think this would be a great book to help parents lead children through many subjects that they may not feel comfortable teaching on their own. Each topic has activity pages to work through and then offers discussion topics/questions.
About the Book
The God Puzzle is a colorful, easy to use tool to help you communicate to your child the rich truths about God, His ways, His will and His love. The God Puzzle will help you address doctrinal themes of the Christian faith in a kid friendly way, present Bible lessons in an interactive way that will hold the child's attention and deliver quality teaching with no preparation needed. 75% of children leave the church when they leave home. Something isn't working. Sunday School isn't doing it all. Kids need answers, good ones. And they need them from you, the parent. This book enables you to give them simple, clear answers.
Valerie Ackermann has a BA in Theology and has been a full time Children's Ministry Director at Parkwood Community Church in California for over 10 years. She is also a weekly Sunday school teacher, wife, and busy mom of two boys ages 9 and 11. She has hands-on experience as a children's ministry professional, teaching and leading children of all ages. Growing up in a Christian family in the small town of Saskatchewan Canada, she has wonderful memories of knowing God from an early age. She has a passion for kids to know the deep truths of God.

NOTE : I received a copy of The God Puzzle in exchange for an honest review, by LitFuse.

Reviewed by: Celia
Rating: 3.5 stars
Review: This is the harrowing story of Antonio Pintero in 1970's New York. From the time he was born to a drug-addict mother with AIDS, Antonio hasn't had an easy life. By the time he was 5-years old, he was out on the street selling drugs for his hot-tempered and abusive stepfather. By 12, he had his own gang.
I did kind of wonder why we switched from Antonio to two detectives half way through the novel. Who were these guys? I thought this was Antonio's story. Was he eventually going to get arrested by the two cops? Were the two cops going to be corrupted by Antonio? Was a big showdown about to happen in the end? Were the cops in the present or the future? It was confusing and a bit disconcerting.
Poignant and raw, HIS-panic is a heart-wrenching and powerful story that is all too real. It is filled with hardships, drugs, and violence that both innervate and sedate the reader. It makes sense that all Antonio talks about are drugs and gangs since it was all he knew, but it grows wearisome.
Overall, this is a captivating coming-of-age story that is nearly on the same plateau as the works of Luis Rodriguez. In fact, Cisneros could be his successor.

Corona Copper Space Heater Lamp
$229.00 / Sold Out
This is a Corona antique copper space heater that I've re-wired and upcycled into a beautiful accent lamp. The copper dish has not been polished, but still focuses light in the same way it originally focused heat when this was a space heater. The 40w Marconi style Edison bulb fits perfectly and casts a warm glow. The stamped steel base was has some intricate detail and a classic style. It has been rewired with an antique reproduction cloth covered twisted wire cord, and in-line switch, and a reproduction button style plug.
This one of a kind lamp measures 18" tall and the reflector is about 14" in diameter. As with all of my lamps, the bulb is included. The cord is about 6' long.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
International Buyers, please note that I make these with standard US plugs and the included bulb is 110V. Please contact me if you're interested in 220V bulbs or a plug adapter.

Okay, so, for my first post I chose the manicure I am currently wearing, inspired by the fact that I finished my exams and I am finally in vacation... ^_^ Freedom!!!
I was really happy so I chose two colors and a flowery pattern ( easily made with a small stick or one of those special manicure things with round edges). I don't like my nails to be all alike so I draw freely instead of using stamps or stickers.
For the purple flowers I used the same brand - Dark plum, for the pink flowers I combined French White with Ultra Violet, for the white ones I used French White. For the dark blue ones I used Azure from Rimmel. :)
Top coat: Express Manicure from Maybeline.
Also, I enjoy having a contrast between my nails so you will rarely see the same pattern on both my hands. It's a little random thing that defines my personality, I guess...
Anyway, I hope you like it and I'm sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, but until I get someone with a good camera to take pictures of my nails, my phone will have to do the job... *blushes*
I have a stack of photos with other manicures so there's more to come...
Bye bye! ^_^

"But many internet programs suggest that a story is enriched by successive contributions. … This has sometimes happened in the past without disturbing authorship. With the Commedia dell'arte, every performance was different. We cannot identify a single work due to a single author. Another example is a jazz jam session. We may believe there is a privileged performance of 'Basin Street Blues' because a recording survives. But there were as many Basin Street Blues as there were performances. ... There are books that we cannot rewrite because their function is to teach us about Necessity, and only if they are respected as they are can they provide us with such wisdom. Their repressive lesson is indispensable to reach a higher state of intellectual and moral freedom."

Project Description
As everyone knows, "Michael Kors" is known designing classic American sportswear for women. He began designing clothes while still a teenager. His mother was a former model, and the talent and interest in the industry might have been "in his genes", as they say. Of late, he has also found great success in designing high-end fashion accessories, just like this one. In the last 10 or so years, handbags have become much less a way to carry necessities than a fashion statement. Women today collect handbags the way they used to accumulate shoes. And who can blame them, with this charming little item just begging to be picked up? The hand-molded shape perfectly depicts the style and elegance of the brand. The smooth leather look and texture, the exquisitely detailed stitching, and the unmistakable logo are all hallmarks that will be instantly noticeable to the discerning consumer. Add to that the $100 poking out of the top, and lying about, you've got an instant hit of a centerpiece for that "Sweet 16" birthday party. Just like the original handbag, EVERYone will want one!

Fortunately, lesson plans can contribute toward both. In the case of teaching, these plans are often approved by a committee before they are presented to the glass. This not only ensures that the material provided is appropriate for the class, but it also reflects on the quality of the teacher as well. Once the plans are approved, the teacher is free to use them to educate his or her pupils. However, if the opportunity arises, adding a bit of spontaneity to the class will do wonders for helping to cement it in your students minds. Thus, feel free to leave a bit of wiggle room when planning your plans.
Whatever the age of your pupils and regardless of the subject you teach, lesson plans can help you to ensure all course content is covered and help to make sure nothing important is missed out. A lesson plan is simply a detailed description of what materials are to be covered within an individual lesson.
