Thank you. This was the purpose of this entire post, since so many atheists hinge thier beliefs on science and demand a scientific test as proof of Gods existance.
Well, you're talking about something different entirely there.
One can demand scientific evidence to prove the existence of God before believing, without expecting science to disprove God's existence. The first is reasonable, the latter isn't, due to the inability to prove a negative.
If we use the example of unicorns, we should not expect science to be able to prove there are no unicorns. However, we should not believe in them without scientific evidence of some kind. If unicorns were real, we should expect a scientific proof of their existence to be possible.

Back to the Future
Noah Kalina
Over the course of some 700 pages, the book compiles interviews, illustrations, documents, recollections, and photographs to chart the history and legacy of a Japanese architecture bookended by World War II and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
A rooftop view of the Nitto Food cannery built by Kisho Kurokawa in 1963.
Project Japan: Metabolism Talks … couples project drawings, sections, and photographs with archival images and interview excerpts that relate stories about the project's production.
"Japan," the cyberpunk novelist William Gibson famously observed, "is the global imagination's default setting for the future." Gibson's prophetic 1984 novel Neuromancer (Ace Books), in which he coined the term "cyberspace" and predicted today's digital dystopias, begins in a soulfully sleazy, neon-and-noir neighborhood near Tokyo Bay. The seeming futurity of Japan that Gibson projects, or rather depicts, originates in its rapid industrial modernization in the Meiji era; in its gadgetry and pageantry; and in its animatronic pop culture of dancing robots, kindly monsters, and Harajuku girls. And in 2012, a year trending toward the apocalyptic, Japan grimly fascinates for suffering natural and unnatural disasters, surviving distant nuclear attacks and recent nuclear accidents, and enduring economic miracles and lost decades that may preview our own.
For architects, the Japanese future lies in its glorious 20th-century past: the Metabolists. These were a consortium of designers, including Fumihiko Maki, Hon. FAIA, Kisho Kurokawa, Kenji Ekuan, and fellow-traveler Arata Isozaki, Hon. FAIA, who all orbited architect Kenzo Tange (1913–2005). Their innovation and influence was framed, roughly, by the 1960 World Design Conference in Tokyo and the 1970 World Expo in Osaka. At the former, they announced Metabolism to an audience including Alison and Peter Smithson, Louis Kahn, and Paul Rudolph. (The deliberately English "-ism" was produced by journalist Noburu Kawazoe from taisha, a Japanese term for regeneration that he recalled from a Japanese translation of Friedrich Engels's Dialectics of Nature.) At the latter event, they conjured up a mid-air, space frame "Big Roof" with installations by Hans Hollein, Yona Friedman, Moshe Safdie, Archigram, and others—not to mention actual dancing robots.
The Metabolist architects proposed vast megastructural complexes, such as Tange's 1960 artificial islands for Tokyo Bay, which would house 7.5 million people. They produced civic and commercial work in brooding concrete, such as Tange's Yamanashi Press and Broadcasting Center of 1966. And they made miniature monuments of mutability, such as Kurokawa's celebrated Nagakin Capsule Tower Building of 1972.
Their moment is documented and illustrated in the book Project Japan: Metabolism Talks … ($59.99; Taschen, Oct. 2011), a remarkable 719-page work of oral history and historiography by Rem Koolhaas and Hans Ulrich Obrist, with spirited graphic design by Irma Boom and editing by Kayoko Ota and James Westcott. The text interweaves exhaustive documentation of projects with intimate interviews of surviving members of the group, supplemented by the intricate timelines, diagrams, and indexes that one has come to expect from Koolhaas.
Two of today's critical architectural issues are illuminated by this particular yesterday. First, there is our current interest in biological processes of constant change: in the biomorphic formal systems that might embody them and in the computational tools that approximate them by simulating evolutionary form-finding and optimization. The Metabolists loved big pictures of tiny organisms and tiny pictures of big cities. They affirmed that, as Kawazoe would later put it, "there is no fixed form in the ever-developing world." The plastic pods of the Capsule Tower were intended to plug in and out as the needs of occupants changed, giving buildings the mutability and mechanical beauty of construction sites. Unsurprisingly, these apartment modules never moved an inch, even as the city changed haphazardly and unbeautifully around them; residents voted recently to demolish their building rather than embark on costly maintenance for a structure that was, ironically, never designed to last as long as it has.
The second issue, current and ancient, is the relationship between architecture and political power. Project Japan takes a cool look at the complex legacy of Tange's early work, which included both a 1942 project for a monument to what Imperial Japan called its Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere as well as the design for a memorial and museum (partially adapted from a proposal by Isamu Noguchi) at ground zero in Hiroshima. Both the undeveloped steppe landscape of Japanese-occupied Manchuria and the bomb-flattened postwar Japanese city provided unsettling variations on the Modernist tabula rasa. Much of the group's success owed to Tange's consummate political and academic schmoozing and to Atsushi Shimokobe's long career as a government minister and rainmaker. The remarkable size of many of the group's projects was inspired by an interest in public policy and development at a national scale—and demanded, explicitly or tacitly, the resources of a very big government indeed.
There is, in this examination of scale, some poignancy. Koolhaas in Japan is adjacent to Koolhaas in China. It may not be possible to understand one project without the other. History will decide whether OMA's colossal Beijing headquarters for state media agency CCTV—and similar works by many peers—prove to be fleeting adornments to totalitarianism or promising engagements between a progressively evolving Middle Kingdom and the brightest cultural producers of the free world. One wants the CCTV building, especially, to someday prove itself to have been a vessel for the resistant ironies and urbane liberties so passionately present elsewhere in Koolhaas's work. There is something about the shapeshifting antimonumentality and sublime awkwardness of that particular structure that encourages such hope.
Irony and tyranny are an odd yet enduring couple. Koolhaas's inquiries suggest reflection on the matter. Of Isozaki, he asks, "Isn't it ironic that avant-gardes only exist when there's a strong government, but fall apart when there's a weak government? There's nothing to react against and nothing that could possibly support the fantasies. I think one great weakness of architecture since the '70s is that we can never find the support we need." Of Kurokawa, Koolhaas asks, "In the 1960s, you focused your intelligence on various government efforts or directives, even helping them to define their policies. You were able to expand while the public sector was very strong, when it had a lot of money and was deciding almost everything. In the last 10 or 15 years, however, the public sector has declined in power and there has been a corresponding shift to the private sector, to private developers who never have that kind of broad perspective." (Isozaki answers: "I think […] from 1968 until 1989 […] was a period of suspended animation in which nothing happened." Kurokawa, who later ran for office in Tokyo, answers, "Now I look at you and see you doing things similar to what I did when I was young.")
A condition in which one agent decides almost everything is not exactly the petri dish in which transformative metabolic processes transpire. Hence there is something of a divided dream in the Metabolist project, between top-down organization and bottom-up complexity. In the 1970s and '80s, the Metabolists and their followers produced palaces, stadiums, and other XL projects for Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iran, and Singapore—a realization of only half of that dream. "Do you like a highly organized city?" asks Archigram in a poster that was part of the group's installation at the Metabolist-curated Expo 70. "It may be obviously structured or dependent upon social constraints unseen."
It's a vision of architects who meet, as Koolhaas says to Kurokawa,"very late into the night"; who produce shambolic conferences and audacious pamphlets and short-lived magazines; whose most enduring influence, as with the Metabolists, is through their seemingly most fleeting ephemera. Koolhaas describes the Metabolists as "solid introverts, meditative poets, charismatic wunderkinder, feudalists, provincials, revolutionaries, cosmopolitans, thinkers, doers, fanatics, mystics—a kaleidoscopic inventory of the Japanese psyche." But surely he is describing his own psyche, and the kaleidoscopic soul of the architectural profession, at its once and future best?

quote:Cliff notes?
quote:"We haven't set up any official visits yet," said Jones. "We are looking to set those up in the next month or so. Jarell expressed to me that he wants to sign late so there is no rush to set up the official visits." New LSU Head Coach Johnny Jones knows the importance of keeping Martin close to home, and is doing everything he can to make up for lost time when recruiting him. "Coach Jones and Coach (Robert) Kirby have done a great job of being consistent and persistent and made it very clear that Jarell is a big priority for them," said Jones of LSU. "They have done a good job. He definitely knows where he stands in regards to them and their situation.
quote:A school that has been involved for a while is Alabama. Head Coach Anthony Grant has put in a lot of time recruiting Martin, and continues to do a good job of making his impression. "Coach Grant is a quality guy," Jones said of the Tide. "He preaches character and showed that last year when he benched those starters and actually put one or two off the team. As a person he thinks Jarell would fit well with the type of student athletes he is trying to bring to Alabama. Coach Grant has been recruiting him a while and is someone he has a lot of respect for.

Company Profile
Aspectrics began in 2004 to develop and manufacture a new generation of on-line and remotely deployable industrial monitoring instruments based on a patented, breakthrough technology that the company describes as EP-IR (Encoded Photometric Infra-Red).
The company believes that an opportunity exists for EP-IR to replace Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and gas chromatographic technologies currently used for process monitoring and environmental applications. A single EP-IR system can replace multiple NDIR modules and provide better performance.
The company is now shipping production systems, and presently has installations at multiple sites spanning a range of industries.
The company is managed by a team of Silicon Valley and instrument company veterans and has more than $5 million of venture capital backing to date.
Aspectrics' products are based upon its patented Encoded Photometric Infrared Spectroscopy (EP-IR) technology invented and reduced to practice by the company's founder and CTO, Thomas W. Hagler, Ph.D. This technology enables Aspectrics to produce multi-application chemical composition analyzers, based upon a universal EP-IR hardware platform.

Not sure of the future of Ice Road truckers is going to be for next season. We started watching that a few seasons back, and got hooked on watching it. Not sure how many times you can make the same bad places on the road exciting, but it was fun to watch. When they started up the most dangerous road series, they took Lisa from Ice Truckers to India, and those road with the people on them, I wouldn't drive that road for any amount of money. The finale was Sunday night.
Deadlist Catch may have run its last shows with Captain Phil passing away, the 3 of the other Captains quit the show over some dispute about a sequel show. Captain Sig was one who quit, to support the others they had a dispute with.
Not sure of the future of all 3 of these shows, they may have all run out of gas.

So the console came out on November 18th, and I wanted to talk about it. Because If there was anything I want to point out, it's that this year, there were barely any video games announced for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 when I was watching the press conference on the internet.
During the same day of the console's release, 26 games came out for it at the same time so you do have games to play with it. These games include:
Assassin's Creed III
Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Darksiders II
Epic Mickey: the Power of Two
ESPN Sports Connection
Game Party Champions
Just Dance 4
Madden NFL 13

Flying into Bhutan, you climb the Tiger's Nest, visit dzongs and nunneries and meet the people. Whether you're looking to visit monasteries or temples, mountains or valleys, museums or factories, Himalayan High has it all.

Dates: Monday, June 8, 2015 - Saturday, June 27, 2015 and Thursday, September 17, 2015 - Tuesday, October 6, 2015
Please note: Custom dates and prices available
This is not just a slogan - it's the way we do business.
If this trip itinerary isn't exactly what you want or if the group departure dates don't quite fit your timeframe, we would be thrilled to create a personalized trip that matches exactly what you, your friends or your family wish to do. Since its inception in 1988, Myths and Mountains has been a pioneer in the field of customized and solo travel. We know that there's no such thing as "one itinerary fits all," and we're committed to matching your particular trip to your dreams.
So, go back and look at the itinerary carefully. Check what you like and don't like and give us a call. We'll ask you lots of questions designed to help us understand your travel style, budget, interests, and wishes, and then we'll channel all our global connections, in-depth destination knowledge, and decades of travel planning experience into creating an extraordinary adventure filled with unforgettable experiences. Our custom trips are not just standard "packages" adjusted to fit your travel dates - they're individually tailored itineraries, as unique as you are.
Here's how we will collaborate with you:
1. Read through the itineraries that interest you and think about what you like and don't like, the dates, other places you might want to visit or other activities.
2. E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 800-670-6984 to let us know your thoughts.
3. Talk with us about what worked and did not work in the programs you were considering, where you want to go, your timeframe, travel companions, budget, special interests and travel style.
4. We will send a brief sketch and approximate land cost based on our discussion, for you to review that includes the suggested changes we discussed.
5. Based on your feedback of the sketch, we will rework your itinerary according to your guidelines. Should you wish to talk with previous travelers who have asked us for customized itineraries, we are happy to give you references.
6. Review the new program. If it works, we will usually ask for a deposit: 25% of the cost, 50% if you are 120 days out. At that point, we will confirm all of the reservations and guides, send you a full packet of preliminary information and prepare your formal, personalized, detailed daily itinerary.
After all, it's your unique vacation. Invite your family. Bring your friends. Dream big. Then call us and let us make your dream a reality.

The one thing I'll point out is that a 20,000 loan (6%, 60 months) has about a payment of $100 more per month than a 15K loan... and the fuel cost of this wouldn't exceed that $100 savings unless you drove about 2000 miles per month.

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins around the anus. They may be inside the anus or outside the anus.
Often hemorrhoids do not cause problems. However, if hemorrhoids bleed a lot or cause pain, hemorrhoid surgery can remove them.
Hemorrhoid surgery can be done in your doctor's office or a clinic. In most cases, you can go home the same day. The type of surgery you have may depend on your symptoms and the location and size of the hemorrhoid.
Before the surgery, your doctor will numb the area so you can stay awake, but not feel anything. For some types of surgery, you may be given general anesthesia . This means you will be given medicine in your vein that puts you to sleep during your surgery.
Hemorrhoid surgery may involve:
Other methods include injections and use of infrared light, but these may be less effective.
Often you can manage small hemorrhoids by:
If lifestyle changes don't work and you are having bleeding and pain, your doctor may recommend hemorrhoid surgery.
Risks for this type of surgery include:
Several days before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot. These drugs include:
Be sure to tell your doctor:
On the day of your surgery:
You will usually go home the same day after your surgery. Be sure you arrange to have someone drive you home. You may have a lot of pain after surgery as the area tightens and relaxes. You may be given medications to relieve pain.
Your health care provider will tell you how to care for yourself.
Most people do very well after hemorrhoid surgery. You should have a complete recovery in about 2 weeks.
You will need to continue with diet and lifestyle changes to help prevent the hemorrhoids from coming back.

Think fast… and sideways!Flip over each card in turn, and place them on the board, but remember: every row and column is a poker hand. With only five minutes on the clock, you'll need to use every cell on the board – and every trick in the book – to score big. The stakes are high. The pressure is on.Can you deal?
1.Your current card is visible in the lower left. Click any one of the five columns; the card will be placed in the lowest empty cell of that column. Place more cards in turn to build the best possible horizontal or vertical poker hand.
2.Once you have placed a full column or row of five cards, click "Submit" to remove and score them. Careful, though, submitting a zero-point row or column will lock it until the next round!
3.If the entire 52-card deck is dealt before you reach the target score, you may freely move any cards that remain on the board to better positions before submitting them.

January 21, 2009 - For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – In a show of powered sound for one of the most watched events in history, Crown amplifiers were utilized by Baltimore-based Maryland Sound Industries (MSI) at the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20th, in Washington D.C. The event drew the largest civic-event audience ever served by an outdoor sound reinforcement system in the United States, with a crowd of as many as two million people.
Baltzell Audio Design designed the audio system and MSI, led by President Bob Goldstein supplied the Crown I-Tech amplifiers for the massive sound system at the event, powering a large number of JBL VerTec line array towers, which are dispersed throughout the Capitol End mall area. The I-Tech amplifiers feature advanced DSP processing which allows for additional tuning of the JBL line arrays. With a built-in LCD screen on the front panel, basic features and amplifier status can be accessed from the amplifier's location. Additionally, the added convenience of Harman HiQnet™ System Architect™ control and management interface allows a front of house or monitor engineer to easily monitor an amplifier's status from their location.
Pat Baltzell of Baltzell Audio Design feels the features of the I-Techs give the flexibility needed in this type of challenging outdoor environment. "It made it possible to run System Architect and actually make subtle adjustments in the amps; each 14-box speaker column was divided into three zones, but to get even better resolution, you have the ability to go directly into the amps and put in filters to make subtle high-frequency adjustments in the amp that we would not have been able to do previously," stated Baltzell.
"One of the biggest challenges we faced was the high frequency. We tried to manage this by boosting the top cabinets in a way that would not affect the near field. Having the fine resolution of I-Tech with DSP in the amps takes us to another level of fine control," added Baltzell.
"We are extremely pleased with the assortment of tools that Harman provides us. From the superb JBL VERTEC line arrays to Crown amplifiers and Studer and Soundcraft counsels and other products. We are able to achieve the highest fidelity sound possible and vastly superior to that which was available only a few years ago. Given the harsh environmental conditions we were working in which has brought sub zero temperatures and lots of precipitation the equipment worked flawlessly with no failures," stated Goldstein.
The amplifiers powered JBL VerTec line arrays with up to 14 VT4889 large-format line array speakers in each tower. JBL VP315DP, VRX932, and Control 25AV speakers were also utilizied for the swearing-in ceremony, president's speech, and performances by major music artists. Baltzell stated, "VerTec has a little more total output per box than competitors; because the boxes have three compression drivers instead of two, you get extra output, which is important for an outdoor application like this."
Harman HiQnet™ is the world's first connectivity and control protocol that integrates all product categories in the signal chain for professional audio systems of all types, size, and applications. Harman HiQnet no longer requires the user to manage multiple disparate operating systems or be responsible for programming individual signal processors, speaker controllers, wireless microphone systems, and mixing consoles. HiQnet was developed by engineers from across Harman's Professional Division and is coordinated by the System Development and Integration Group (SDIG), a team of dedicated systems specialists based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Crown is a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (www.harman.com). Harman International designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets, and maintains a strong presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, employing more than 11,000 people worldwide.

Summer is a great time to make things with your kids. Whether you are a dad or a mom, you'll find good ideas for collaborative projects to DIY with daughers and sons in Maker Dad: Lunch Box Guitars, Antigravity Jars, and 22 Other Incredibly Cool Father-Daughter Projects. Written by Mark Frauenfelder, the editor in chief of MAKE Magazine, these projects vary in complexity. Most require some kind of tooling but can be adapted in different ways. There are woodworking projects like laminating up wood veneer layers while it's bent to make a pre-sprung long board to cruise the streets. There are imaginitive electonics projects like a kite-mounted video camera. There are plenty of whimsical, imaginative projects here. Also included are tips for devoping practical skills like creating and hosting your own podcast and using a variety of tools. I thought this book was suitable for parents and their elementary or middle-school aged children and up.
The afternoon of Saturday, May 31, 2014 marked the beginning of a new annual event at KPL: Three Book Battle. Middle School students from seven different schools joined forces and battled through book knowledge on The Giver, Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy and Return to Sender to be the first Three Book Battle champion. Teams competed in two battles that day for a total of 48 questions, 16 from each book. Huddles were formed, decisions were made, pencils moved frantically, and pride filled the Van Deusen Room!
This new event for 6th-8th graders set the bar high for the future with near perfect scores and contagious reading enthusiasm. Teen Services would like to thank the Friends of KPL for providing a mini grant opportunity to sponsor this event. Each team received a set of books to keep, Jones Soda and a Bookbug gift card to fuel their love of reading.
Congratulations go out to our final battle teams:
Plans are already underway for the 2015 Three Book Battle. Thank you KPL Teen Services, the Friends of KPL, TBB participants and the audience for making our first Three Book Battle one for the record books!
Summer at the library officially begins on Monday, June 2! Sign up for Summer Reading Games at any of our locations beginning June 2. Kick off the summer by attending some of the library's great programs for the whole family, starting next week. Preschoolers ages 3 to 6 can explore strength and materials at Central's Little Scientists program on Monday, June 2 at 10:30am. Later that evening, join us at Oshtemo for an outdoor performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Learn how to beat the heat by brewing your own iced tea with Tudor House Tea & Spice at Washington Square on Tuesday, June 3 at 6pm. Calling all nerdfighters! Head to Central on Tuesday, June 3 at 6:30pm for An Abundance of John Green and enter to win movie tickets to The Fault in Our Stars. LEGO fans can practice their skills at Oshtemo on Saturday, June 7 at 10:30am. The week wraps up on Saturday, June 7 at Central with the Summer Reading Kickoff Party at 1pm, featuring music, games, obstacle courses, and a bounce house!
There are lots of fun things to do at Kalamazoo Public Library locations during Spring Break. If you're at the Central Library and want to borrow child/family movies and music, come to the Children's Room. That's where those materials are now located. Maybe you've been wondering what those lullabye renditions of Michael Jackson music sound like. Or maybe it's time to see how Danny Devito voiced The Lorax. Or revisit that beautiful Carl and Ellie sequence from Up. You'll find something that you'll enjoy in this collection and you'll be able to check it out at the kiosk in the Children's Room, too. And while you'll be able to find Dr. Seuss books in the Children's Room, you'll want to go to the lower level to find Thriller and The Wiz. You'll find lots of movie musicals and documentaries that make great family viewing in the lower level, too!
We're seeing more and more dads in the Children's Room, as they bring their kids to storytime, choose books to take home, and share in the fun of playing with toys in the Story Place.
As more dads take on caregiver responsibilities, we are glad to see more parenting books written just for them. A Dad's Guide to Childcare is one that I like. It's practical, has clear photos that illustrate step-by-step processes, and even addresses difficult situations that may come up.
As part of the renovation of the Central Library Children's Room, we've added some more Parenting books to our shelves. If you're looking for books about parenting children from birth to 5 years, you can now find those books in the Children's Room. We'd be glad to help you find the books that are just right for your family.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is an exciting new program at Kalamazoo Public Library for all children from birth to entering Kindergarten. It's super simple, self paced, and provides a way for your child to earn a prize for every 50 books you read aloud to her and then a gift and certificate of completion when you reach 1,000 books. More important, since reading aloud to your child is the best way to prepare for kindergarten, 1,000 Before Kindergarten is a way for you to do just that - read lots of books with your child!
A parent asked me if the books she reads to her child for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten need to be library books. They do not. While Kalamazoo Public Library certainly has many thousands of books we can all share together with our preschool aged children, you might find yourself reading a book aloud to your child that you found at the Friends bookstore or that was passed along to you or purchased elsewhere. Of course this is just great! And the way you read the books is also completely up to you. Some books are made to be sung to your child. Other books benefit from the animal sounds you supply. There is a whole world of fun to be had reading to our children.
It's easy to sign up at the any KPL location. Learn more about 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten at KPL and continue down the road to Kindergarten. And if you're in the mood for a fun read aloud that will help you think ahead to Springtime, check out 999 Frogs Wake Up.
The newly renovated Children's Room is open and ready for you to explore! There are many exciting new features including a parenting section, folk and fairy tales highlighted in the Alice in Wonderland Room, and more display space for new Fiction, new Non-fiction, and new Picture Books. The Story Place has room for Lego at the Library, story time programs, and more. I hope you'll take time to come in and see the new Children's Room over the holiday break.
If you've been on the second floor of Central Library recently, you've seen some signs of renovation. Soon, some of that work will move to the first floor Children's Room. Yes, we'll soon see some changes that will support our new emphasis as a Family Place Library. That designation will align us with over 300 libraries in 23 states which have made a commitment to serving families with children from birth to age 5. Here's the website: http://www.familyplacelibraries.org/.
What makes a Family Place Library special? Here are the core components:
Here at KPL, we're just getting started on implementing Family Place Libraries. One of the most exciting projects is expanding the space in Children's Room at Central Library so that we have more room to play! Soon, you'll see a brand-new Activity Room open, the Story Room will lose one of its walls, and some things will be re-arranged. We're excited about this time of growth and hope that you'll be a part of our development as a Family Place Library!
This is what a Monarch caterpillar looks like when it's ready to morph from a caterpillar into a butterfly. This animal has already been alive for several weeks. As in the Eric Carle book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, it began as a little egg laid on a leaf. The egg was laid by a Monarch butterfly. Then, after the caterpillar hatched from the egg, it got bigger and bigger as it munched on milkweed in its caterpillar form until a few days ago when it climbed up high to hang so that it could turn into a chrysalis. A few weeks after it morphs into a chrysalis, it will emerge in butterfly form. Then, it will be able to lay eggs that will hatch into very tiny Monarch caterpillars.
Have you seen very many Monarch butterflies this summer? I have not. I'm told Monarchs have had a difficult time migrating northward. Maybe you'll come to the library to check in on the chrysalis and borrow some books about butterflies.
Urban Fiction writer, Earl Sewell, will be at Alma Powell Library July 30 at 6:00 pm. Mr. Sewell is not only an urban fiction writer but he also writes a series of teen books for Kimani Tru. I've read a couple from his teen series called Keysha's drama series. I enjoyed Maya's Choice and If I were your boyfriend. One of the things I liked about Mr. Sewell's teen books is that they are very diverse and culture wise. Many teens would find a lot to identify with, if not for themselves then for some of their friends. Mr. Sewell addresses a great deal of the challenges young people face today. In Maya's Choice Maya's cousin, Viviana, moves in and it makes life difficult for Maya and her life begins to fall apart. In If I were your boyfriend Keysha has a lot to learn and life changing decisions to make.
If you're a urban fiction lover or like teen books that are full of life challenges then please join us to meet and hear from our guest Earl Sewell.

How Drew Barrymore Found Her North Star
It took a year of solitude, but Drew Barrymore reinvented her life. The former Hollywood wild child is now a crazy-in-love wife and a new mom. Here's how it all happened
Learn four fun facts you didn't know about Drew
By Marshall Heyman
Special Offers
When Drew Barrymore bounds into the offices of her Hollywood production company, Flower Films, she may be wearing the new-mom uniform no makeup, a sweatshirt and jeans she says she just grabbed off her bedroom floor but she doesn't show one ounce of typical just-had-a-baby exhaustion.
Olive, her first child with her husband, art consultant Will Kopelman, was born on September 26, and barely a month later Barrymore seems remarkably energized by all the newfound love in her life. After staying home for much of the pregnancy, she and Kopelman are already incorporating date nights back into their relationship, along with days of doting on their baby girl. The night before, Kopelman took Barrymore to the Universal Studios theme park in Hollywood for its Halloween Horror Night. (Though Olive stayed at home, she had her share of holiday festivities her parents goofily dressed her up as a lobster, inserted her into a large pot, and snapped plenty of pictures. "I would take a lobster costume over a couture dress any day," says her proud mom.)
This is an intensely, almost unimaginably happy time for Barrymore: The night at the amusement park set off sparks for Kopelman and her that were as electric as when they first became an item.
"Last night, I was looking at my husband like, What if he weren't my husband and we hadn't just had a baby and we were just here with a group of people?" Barrymore recalls, beaming. "I was just having such a crush on him."
After years of teenage rebellion, two short-lived marriages (to Jeremy Thomas for two months in 1994, and to comedian Tom Green for six months in 2001), and two much longer relationships (five years with Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes; a few on-and-off years with actor Justin Long), Barrymore finally feels she's on the right path.
With her new thoughtfully chosen roles of wife, mother, and surprise! makeup mogul, she is transitioning to a more mature and heartfelt understanding of what really matters in life. And she couldn't be more optimistic about her recent decisions.
This peace of mind took some serious engineering and tough choices. Perhaps the most challenging was the long stretch when Barrymore left her Hollywood life to go on what some might call a sabbatical. In Barrymore's case, it was a year of self-discovery and adventure, similar to what Elizabeth Gilbert famously captured in her best seller Eat, Pray, Love.
The journey began soon after Barrymore made her directorial debut in 2009 with Whip It, a movie she also starred in, about a Texas roller derby. Despite the satisfaction of this achievement, she recognized that she'd become a textbook workaholic.
"I was always really focused on the thing I was working on, then worried about that thing I had to go to next," she recalls. "So my brain was always tied up in the present and in the future."
Since founding Flower Films with best pal (and wife of Jimmy Fallon) Nancy Juvonen in 1995, Barrymore had had a string of hits, surprising for a place as fickle as Hollywood: On the serious side, there was Donnie Darko; on the blockbuster side, Charlie's Angels and its sequel; and, when it came to romantic comedies, there were Music and Lyrics, He's Just Not That Into You, and 50 First Dates, in which Barrymore also starred.
Beyond those movies, there were the campaigns for CoverGirl and Gucci Jewelry, and those rather tempestuous relationships, which provided plenty of tabloid fodder but never quite led to anything permanent.
Where was Barrymore's own off-screen romantic comedy, with a "happily ever after" ending? She realized she'd have to go out and find it.
"I just knew I couldn't sustain this life and have a relationship and a family," she says. "I wanted to live a little bit more in the present." Mostly, she confides, "I knew I wanted things to be different."
And so she decided to take a real break: "I thought, What if I distance myself a little bit, take some time off, and smell the flowers elsewhere in life? It's so scary to leave everything behind; it's terrifying."
She worried that she might lose her fire, her ambition to create opportunities for her production team and for herself. "Will I suddenly become un-passionate and stop caring?" she wondered. Would the workaholic part of her, which had defined her since she first became a child star in the eighties with E.T., Firestarter, and Irreconcilable Differences, disappear?
"It freaked me out. I was afraid to let go," she admits. "But with great risk comes great reward."
One day, a film project she had worked on getting off the ground for a solid year "just disintegrated into thin air," Barrymore recalls wistfully. And she realized a life of "working, working, working, working, and working" just wasn't going to be enough. It was time for a change, so she packed her bags.
Reading Eat, Pray, Love along the way, Barrymore took herself, by herself, to India. She walked through the Himalayas in Bhutan for a couple of weeks. And she learned about the beauty of time, she says, and how amazing and peaceful solo life can be.
"We always wonder [when single], Where is this person? Oh my God, I'm lonely; what's my future? But eventually you'll meet somebody, and this time will be gone. And you will kick yourself for not enjoying it," she says. "For me, that year was a great investment. It made me realize, I'm ready for something different."
Without that one year to just be alone and think, Barrymore believes, things might not have worked out the way they did.
"Had I not carved out that time for myself, I don't know if I'd be as happy trying to figure out what makes my husband happy and how to be a good mom," she explains. "I needed to be on my own and do my own thing."

For most small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), shared hosting is likely to appeal more than dedicated due to the costs involved.
SMBs signing up to use shared hosting for their website are allocated a small proportion of a server's resources.
Various other companies and organisations will also be using this server, so to some extent, they are competing for its utility.
This has a bearing on the price vendors can charge - and explains the relative affordability of shared hosting compared to some of the alternatives.
Dedicated hosting, for instance, is much more costly as businesses have a whole server to themselves.
But few SMBs are likely to require this higher level service - unless they have a large website and a particularly active customer base.
As well as affordability, technical support is another major benefit of shared hosting.
Customers may not have access to dedicated server resources, but they are likely to be looked after by their host - providing they select a reputable service provider.
Shared hosting works because the host manages the server on behalf of its customers, and is able to resolve any technical issues they may experience.
This frees the SMB up to focus on attracting customers and driving revenue, rather than worrying about how they will power their website and other online activities.

The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) instrument on the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) provides global measurements of polar ice sheet elevation to discern changes in ice volume (mass balance) over time. Secondary objectives of GLAS are to measure sea ice roughness and thickness, cloud and atmospheric properties, land topography, vegetation canopy heights, ocean surface topography, and surface reflectivity. GLAS has a 1064 nm laser channel for surface altimetry and dense cloud heights, and a 532 nm lidar channel for the vertical distribution of clouds and aerosols. Level-1B elevation data (GLA06) include surface elevation, surface roughness assuming no slope, surface slope assuming no roughness, and geodetic and atmospheric corrections for range measurements. GLA06 is used in conjunction with GLA05 to create the Level-2 altimetry products (GLA12-15)Each data granule has an associated browse product that users can quickly view to determine the general quality of the data in the granule. Browse products consist of image plots of key parameters and statistics. Data are in scaled integer binary format, big-endian (Unix) byte order, and are available via FTP.
