Every year, thousands of teams set off on short term trips to share the gospel. Language and cultural barriers can make clear communication of the gospel incredibly difficult. What if we could equip them to witness in an engaging and culturally relevant way? Equip makes sure to provide outreach teams with the tools and information necessary for them to be as effective as possible for the time they are on the field.

If you are involved in frontier missions, or you're preparing to go on a short term missions trip, you'll be aware of the challenges that are involved. You may find yourself asking questions like "How do I communicate the Gospel when I don't speak the language of the people I'm trying to reach? What are the cultural differences that I should be aware of? What resources are availble to help me reach out to this specific people group?"

Reverse the Curse - Marion
"...RTC currently employs 25 landmine victims who are viewed in Cambodian society as having got what they deserve through karma and most often end up begging on the street or making next to nothing in some sort of labour. Not long after beginning this project a few years ago, her staff began to ask about Jesus, and soon they were asking her about having a church. Now, most of her staff are coming back to their place of work on Sunday mornings for a church service, and deeper transformation is taking place..."

Art in Missions
"...I've always loved to draw, paint and create things and it came pretty naturally for me. I continued to develop drawing skills throughout my childhood and teen years. It's quite sad to admit but probably 50% of the time I spent learning to draw was during Math, Science and English class. I had this idea that I was going to be an animator or a children's book illustrator someday and figured I didn't need to worry about subjects that weren't relevant to my future..."

Music in Missions
"...I didn't just join this team because of the opportunity to make music. I joined because God, through this team, was opening my heart up to his love for me, and consequently for the world. I didn't have a lot of passion for the Kingdom or a clear idea of what it was all about when I first joined, but through the relationships that were formed around a great purpose, I couldn't help but eventually begin to get energized by the Perpetrator towards the purpose of bringing the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven..."

Engage DVD Package
Friday, June 1st, 2012
Engage is a multimedia package designed to inform, motivate, and encourage a new generation to engage in the world of missions. It contains inspiring missions videos, an informative stats and facts slideshow, comprehensive teaching notes, a booklet which contains the stories behind the stories, and handy hints on how to use these mobilisation resources effectively.
When we watch the news, we get the sense that the world is spinning a little off kilter and out of control. Are any heroes going to fly in and save us? Maybe we should hide under the covers until Jesus comes back. But maybe there's some good news. Maybe God is moving in difficult places and we just don't hear about it. Maybe if we all step into position and do our part through praying, giving, sending or even going – we could make a difference. We could bring the Kingdom to the hurting and broken of this world.
In 2007, a small team travelled the east coast of Australia presenting good news reports, the voices of modern day 'ordinary heroes', along with stats and facts on how we're doing as a body of believers. We hope this media package, inspired by the Voices Tour, will help to inform and motivate a new generation to engage in a world with a desperate need for the Kingdom to come.
A 50 minute video presentation that will take you on a 'big picture' journey presenting the needs and challenges in the world today, and show how we're doing as the church in meeting those needs. Hear encouraging stories of what God is doing in the places we usually only hear bad news about, and meet some inspiring people who have said the 100% 'yes' to Jesus; impacting the planet one day at a time.
For a shorter time slot, use one of the three 20 minute video presentations that also represent the 'big picture' of missions, but feature only one missions story each. Another alternative is to use one of the Engage – Bonus Videos as a stand alone.
This is a supplementary tool for teaching the stats and facts of world missions in a classroom or meeting setting. Choose between the shorter or longer version depending on your time constraints. The longer version can be used as background information for the presenter, or can be taught one section at a time over the course of several classroom meetings. See 'How to use the Engage Package'.
A list of websites that lead to more information in the following areas: missions news and media; global awareness and action; missions mobilisation resources and networks; missions opportunities and training. This is not an exhaustive list, but it does represent a wide variety of ministries and organizations to look into.

Impact the Nations
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011
In this article we thought we'd take the opportunity to share some encouraging reports on how media is being used in innovative ways to share the good news of Jesus, in countries with limited evangelistic resources. Below is a report that was included in the latest Create International newsletter (August 2011) which shares testimonies from workers in Indonesia and Thailand about how evangelistic films are having a dramatic impact on the lives of those who watch them.
"Recently, we heard that our evangelistic film for the Sasak – 'Irun's Dream' (1995) continues to bear fruit 16 years later! Workers are now actively distributing it via mobile phones.
'In one village there was a man who has been having dreams about Jesus, and after watching the film, he decided that he would make a decision to follow Jesus! We want to encourage you guys—keep making the films! We are using them, and they are having an effect. People are listening and they like to watch them.'
—Missionary in Indonesia
Our most recent evangelistic film, 'When Storms Come' (2011) for the Northern Thai, has been widely endorsed.
'This film is a great example of how a gospel presentation could be done so naturally and specifically for a culture.'
'Everyone has been impressed with the quality of the production, acting, settings—all very accurate and truly Northern Thai. The Gospel is clearly and simply stated, and the story is very powerful. New believers especially understood the meaning, and thought it was a beautiful expression of thankfulness to God. Buddhists have openly cried as they were touched by several dramatic scenes of 'power encounters.' …
—Field workers and churches in Thailand"
It's encouraging to hear how God is using resources like these to effectively communicate the His story cross-culturally. If you're interested in reading other testimonies or finding other resources that are available, check out Create Internationals Evangelistic Videos online.

Art in Missions
Monday, May 10th, 2010
When I was about 5 years old and in kindergarten I showed my teacher a drawing I had just made of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. At first I was a bit frightened by her response because she made this long-winded and loud gasping noise like I had created something blasphemous. She then told me how good she thought it was. I was relieved. It was a bit like this growing up.
I've always loved to draw, paint and create things and it came pretty naturally for me. I continued to develop drawing skills throughout my childhood and teen years. It's quite sad to admit, but probably 50% of the time I spent learning to draw was during math, science and English classes. I had this idea that I was going to be an animator or a children's book illustrator someday and figured I didn't need to worry about subjects that weren't relevant to my future.
In 2006, I got connected with a ministry called Create International. The goal of this ministry is to communicate Jesus to unreached people groups around the world using audio/visual tools. It's a sobering truth that the west is continuing to re-evangelize itself while spending very little effort in comparison on places still needing to hear the Gospel for the very first time! This had always been a concern and burden on my heart since I left high school and I was so excited to hear of a ministry with a passion to reach the unreached using media.
Create International was primarily producing videos when I joined, but they were slowly integrating visual arts into their ministry as another way to communicate. It's been a privilege to work in an office with some really talented and committed people. Since joining, I've been able to make comic books, posters and viral videos all with an evangelistic message for various language groups found in the 10/40 window.
It's been a huge learning curve for me as I've taken on these various projects- and not necessarily knowing how to tackle them. The process starts with a long-term missionary who expresses a desire to have evangelistic tools custom-made to assist them in their ministry in a particular nation. In one situation, we decided to make a short comic book about the prodigal son for young people in an unreached area. I went back to this story told in Luke and prayed about how to make this story contextual for a teenager living there. I researched their city, their style of dress, how they relate to one another culturally, etc. Then I came up with the characters and sketched them out, inked them, scanned them and then coloured them in Photoshop. Next, I added the word bubbles and then the English text. Finally, we sent the files back to our contacts and they had them retyped in the local language and professionally printed out. And now this simple comic which illustrates the Father's love, is being distributed all over that country by the thousands, inviting them into a relationship with the Father through Jesus.
Every project I have had the privilege of working on has been unique in style and format because each one is tailor-made to speak to a different cultural audience. I've done projects in Photoshop, or hand painted with water colours. And right now I'm working on something that is combining hand painting, Photoshop and video. The projects are always different, but I guess one thing I'm continuing to learn and grow in is being sensitive to hearing God during the process and allowing Him to give me input and direction as I research and create things.
It's awesome to think how God knew what He was doing in my life while I was growing up. He was the one that gave me artistic ability and a desire to be a part of bringing His Kingdom to earth. As I've awkwardly followed His leading, he's brought me to a place where I can be creative in the context of missions. It's amazing and humbling to look back and see without a doubt that God actually took time to think about me and who I am, and find a place that I can do what I love for His Glory.

References: Acts 28Beginning with Acts 19, Alistair Begg takes us through the narrative of Paul's third trip and subsequent trials leading to Rome. The physician Luke's compelling biographical sketch describes one man's journey into the heart of the Roman Empire proclaiming the incredible, extravagant generosity of God. The man who once persecuted others for their faith in Jesus as the Messiah is now the one who is persecuted for the same reason: "It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain" (Acts 28:20b). In this series you'll discover that their hope really is the only hope for the whole world!
David Robertson, author of The Dawkins Letters, says that he was told by the leader of an atheist society: "Okay, I admit that you have destroyed my atheism, but what do you believe?" This book is his answer: an apology of faith in the face of atheism and a response to the shouts of God is Not Great! by the late Christopher Hitchens.

Ancient Greeks: Everyday Life, Beliefs and Myths
Introduction to the Ancient Greeks
The Ancient Greeks lived about 2800 years ago. They lived in mainland Greece and the Greek islands, as well as in Turkey and colonies (an overseas settlement set up by the Ancient Greeks around the shores of the Mediterranean sea.) There were Greeks in Italy, Sicily, North Africa and as far west as France. Ancient Greeks lived in City States, they were like separate countries each with their own traditions and currency.
Ancient Greece had a warm, dry climate, just like Greece today. People had jobs such as farming, fishing, traders, soldiers or scholars. Scholars had jobs such as scientists, artists and teachers. For many Greeks, life was hard, they were often poor and there was little water, farmland and timber for building. This is why lots of Greeks sailed away to find new lands to settle.
The Ancient Greeks established The Olympic Games in around 776BC, over 2700 years ago. They were held in honour of Zeus, king of the gods, they were held every 4 years at Olympia. People from all over the Greek world came to watch and take part. The games started off with just 1 event: a sprint across the stadium. Gradually more events were added, including javelin throw, discus, chariot racing, boxing and long jump.

Is this bracelet from David Yurman not breathtaking? It reminds me of two things:
- The beach
- The bracelets I made as a kid out of safety pins and a mix of whatever beads I could find, all grown up and completely sophisticated (I loved those then, and I still love them now)
This particular bracelet features blue chalcedony, milky aquamarine, moon quartz, prasiolite, iolite, pave diamonds, and sterling silver. The color palette, at first glance, makes me think of the beach, like I said, but at the same time, I think of gloomy, overcast winter days.
I see this bracelet working with white jean shorts and a gray or lilac shirt, but I can also see it working with a cozy-glam sweater and slacks/skirt in the winter. Not that jewelry necessarily has to be sorted out by season, because honestly, it can work any time, but looking at this creation just makes my mind instantly go to those two places, with those two types of outfits.

great cheese slicer. Last one I purchased, the wire handle was loose and could not be tightened. this one seems sturdy and well built. Also comes with lifetime wire replacement.
Cuts through any kind of cheese easily. The slot is a bit off so that the wire does not fit in the last half of it unless you bend it a bit. Cheese does get stuck in slot so it is necessary to clean it out with a brush after each use. Takes a bit of practice to get a thin slice but the wire is very firm unlike hand held ones that bend easily. Cheese cuts off without any hunks on bottom which is great. Nice for making larger slices or cubes.
Love this item. Even slices every time! I hated those hand held slicers that are uneven and a pain to clean. Will never use another style slicer!
on a really hard cheese...cheddar. The wire gives a little and does not cut straight.
My husband and I had a similar cheese slicer that lasted many years. When it finally became unusable, we began the search for a new one. We could not find one in any of the stores so I began to look on line. Of course Rachel had not just one, but 3 different types available. I chose this one because it most resembled the one we had in the past. We were NOT disappointed! My husband was completely thrilled on Father's Day when he opened his gift...it was used right away and worked perfectly!

Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery opens tomorrow
The Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery cum Heritage Trail Visitors Centre at Hang Tau Tsuen, Ping Shan, Yuen Long, New Territories, will open to the public from tomorrow (April 15).
The opening ceremony was held today (April 14). Officiating guests included Secretary for Home Affairs, Dr Patrick Ho Chi-ping, head of the Tang Clan in Ping Shan, Mr Tang Kau, managers of the Tang Clan in Ping Shan, Mr Tang Kung-leung and Mr Tang Lai-mun, representative of Tang Clan in Ping Shan, Mr William Tang, Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs, Mrs Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chairman of the Antiquities Advisory Board, Mr Edward Ho Sing-tin, Chairman of the Yuen Long District Council, Dr Tang Siu-tong, Chairman of the Ping Shan Rural Committee, Mr Tang Yun-chor, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, Mr Thomas Chow, Director of Architectural Services, Mr Yue Chi-hang, and District Officer (Yuen Long), Mr James Chan.
Ping Shan in Yuen Long district is one of Hong Kong's most historically significant regions. The Tang Clan, one of the major clans in the New Territories, settled in Ping Shan as early as the 12th century. They built walled villages, villages and other traditional Chinese buildings such as ancestral halls and study halls for ancestral worship and education. Establishment of the centre allows the public and overseas visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the culture and customs of Ping Shan and the Tang Clan.
The centre comprises three galleries: "The Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery" which displays relics belonging to the members of the Tang Clan, who personally relate their history, customs and cultural life. The valuable exhibits on display include an embroidered silk birthday hanging dated 11th year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing dynasty (1872), a baby seat with a history of around 170 years, a phoenix coronet worn by a bride in the 1950s, a bridal sedan chair used in traditional marriage, the ritual wares and a group photo of founders of Tat Tak School in 1931.
"The Gallery of Ping Shan Heritage Trail" introduces monuments and buildings along the trail including ancestral halls, temples, study halls, pagoda and Shrine of the Earth God, providing visitors with the opportunity to learn more about traditional life in the New Territories. "The Community Heritage Gallery" presents periodically special thematic exhibitions on the history and culture of the New Territories organised by schools and community groups.
The centre was converted from the Old Ping Shan Police Station built in 1899, one of the few remaining pre-war police stations in the New Territories. It consists of three buildings. The main building is a two-storey structure with an embracing arched verandah. It is a white walled building with observation posts at roof level. On the north side, a two-storey structure connected to the main buildings forms the Annex Block. This annex building also has white walls, open verandahs and a pitched Chinese tile roof. Two chimney stacks are prominent on this building. There is also a small single-storey detached building with a pitched roof and overhanging eaves. The original chimneys also remain in the building.
As early as 1996, Tang Clan proposed to convert the old police station into a gallery for displaying artefacts on local folk culture and history. It was agreed between the Government and the Tang Clan in 1997 that the building would be converted into the Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery and a visitor centre for the Ping Shan Heritage Trail. In 2002, the premises were formally allocated to the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) for planning of the centre with the Tang Clan. The renovation of the centre was undertaken by the Architectural Services Department.
The centre will open from 10am to 5pm daily. It will be closed on Mondays (except public holidays) and the first two days of the Chinese New Year. Admission is free.
For more details about the centre, please visit AMO's website at
or call 2617 1959.

It's the rainy season here in Traverse City. After the winter we've had, spring makes me a little goofy, which may be why I like this poem about rain and mud and love by Paul Valery, the French poet, essayist and philosopher. As with all poems that please me, it doesn't quite do what I expect.
The language starts out all flowery and charming. Its tone is like a Shakespearean sonnet. "Deign" (condescend), the speaker starts up -- but "deign" to what? He doesn't finish his thought until the end of the poem! He's getting as distracted by his darling Laura's beauty as she herself is distracted. Each line is an image of her, and we remain off-balance, not sure what we're reading, until we get to the end.
Girl With Mind Wandering
Deign, Laura -- now again the rainy season's here --
Beside me all perfume, your shoulder leaning, dear,
On my indulgent love attentive as you go,
Laura, all soulful look that looks at nothing though,
Deign, brow and the wide eyes so lost in heaven's own blue,
Even while your dreaming feet, as fated to, splash through
Pools mirrored lush in mud you wade and set a-spraying,
Deign, dear, to listen once to what your lips are saying ...
-- Paul Valery (1871-1945)
And how does he feel about her, after all? This is the surprise. She may be beautiful, she may seem soulful, but he's completely exasperated with the way she goes on and on like a Valley Girl, her brain detached from her words.
It's funny that "a-spraying" is rhymed with "saying." Her words spray out like the spring mud.
Here's a good example of a poem some would dismiss as "old" because it begins with a word we seldom use these days. Maybe we should complain because it's a little hard to keep up with. Maybe we should raise our feminist hackles because the man's the alert one and the woman's the ditz.
But we lose a lot if we don't take the poem for what it is, a purely joyful dance of rhyme and language, "blue," "through," "to," "you," and "pools," and then "lush," "mud" -- I could go on.
If only those of us who write poems could learn to balance exactly between the dreaming/splashing-in-the-mud part of it and the self-conscious hard work of it! If we lean too far in one direction, the poem is lazy, self-absorbed and glib. If we lean too far in the other direction, it can get too precious, too worked-over, none of its rough edges left.
David Wagoner, a fine poet and former editor of Poetry Northwest, told me he has a trick he uses: he puts his editor-self away for awhile, as the poem begins to take shape. This is the time for splashing in the mud. He doesn't let that editor have a word to say until the mud-part is finished.
Then the editor is allowed to step in and begin to revise, edit, refine.
How long does this part go on? "A poem is never finished, only abandoned," Valery said. As with all art, what we hope for is to keep the spring liveliness of the first thought as we move into the final version's full bloom.
Fleda Brown is professor emerita, University of Delaware, and past poet laureate of Delaware.

Very special olive oil - what to do?
Here's my recommendation - if you don't mind using up a quite a bit of it at once. Simply, the most amazing mashed potatoes I have ever had, from this month's COTM - Roast Chicken and Other Stories:
2 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
salt and pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 rosemary sprig
1 thyme sprig
1 cup virgin olive oil
Boil the potatoes in salted water, and while doing that, heat the milk, garlic, rosemary and thyme, cover and take off the burner, to let it steep. Run the potatoes through a ricer or food mill, and put in the bowl of an electric mixer. Strain the milk, add the olive oil and reheat on low. Using a paddle on the mixer, turn it on low, add the milk to the potatoes "in a steady stream". When done, taste and adjust for seasoning (salt and pepper). Turn the mixer on again at a faster speed, and beat into a glossy puree.
I used a fruttato and the potatoes had a wonderful greenish tinge to them.

Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9 inch springform pan with butter.
- Combine the crushed cookies, butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and cocoa in a small bowl; mix; press into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Place the cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer set to low speed until smooth. While beating, slowly add 1 cup sugar and then the eggs, one at a time. Continue beating until smooth.
- Combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until the chocolate is completely melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Beat the chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Add the sour cream, salt, beer, and vanilla; blend until smooth. Pour the mixture over the crust. Place the pan into a large, deep baking dish. Fill the dish with water to cover the bottom half of the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in the water bath in the preheated oven for 45 minutes; turn oven off; leave the cheesecake in the oven with oven door slightly ajar another 45 minutes; remove from oven. Run a knife along the edge of the cheesecake to loosen from pan. Chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate in a small bowl using the microwave. Make chocolate clovers by dropping 3 small drops of melted chocolate close to one another on waxed paper. Drag a toothpick from between two dots outward to make the stem; chill until hardened. Arrange the chocolate clovers on top of the chilled cheesecake for decoration.

First, let me say how annoying it is to me to read reviews that give a poor rating when the reviewer doesn't follow the recipe! I followed the recipe EXACTLY, and this is without a doubt one of the most heavenly chocolate cheesecakes I've ever made. Just remember, the crust calls for chocolate cookies crumbs--not OREO cookie crumbs. So the butter to crumb ratio is just fine. I used chocolate graham cookie crumbs. It is very important to not leave out the heavy cream when melting the chocolate. The cream makes the chocolate into a nice, thick ganache. Eliminating the cream would result in a much thinner batter. My batter before cooking was a bit thinner than some cheesecakes I've made, but not significantly so. I was expecting it to be more runny based upon reviews that I had read. I did cook it for about 5 minutes longer because my oven runs a little cooler. The recommendation to wrap the pan in foil before submerging it in water was key--if you've never done a submerged waterbath and didn't know to wrap the pan, I can see where that would cause poor results. I took this to a St. Patrick's Day party and everyone went nuts--it was completely devoured! I'll be making this again, for sure.
For the love of God & the Holy Mother, drink the Guinness while you're looking for a DIFFERENT recipe. Seriously. This one is horrible. I cook cheesecakes all the time. (DH loves cheesecake almost as much as Guinness.) So I should have trusted my instincts on this one & skipped the beer as the recipe was already too loose. The person even got the crust part wrong: cookie crusts need 2 cups crumbs, 2 TB butter (hello, the stuff in the middle is already fat & sweet & chocolate); graham cracker crusts need 1-1/2 cups crumbs, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar. Too much butter leaves cookie crusts tasting like lard & cracker crusts hard. It's not necessary to reinvent the wheel just because you're going to post your recipe. No idea what the 1/4 tsp cocoa was for...I've never seen 1/4 tsp of anything called for in a recipe. Why bother? The eggs, sour cream, cream cheese is all a normal cheesecake recipe...so, it's either the 3/4 cup beer puts the liquidity over the top or its the water bath cooking method. (I didn't immerse my springform by the way, a pan of water underneath in an oven would be sufficient in a recipe that NEEDS moisture, UNLIKE this one.) Finally, 90 minutes on 350, I take it out as the perimeter is starting to pull & crust, center looks iffy. (Left in the oven, turned off, door ajar for another hour.) & oh surprise, surprise crust is soggy, cake completely raw. I'm so mad at myself because I fell for all the hocus pocus thinking it might be interesting b
I've been a member for 2 years and this is my first review. Although I've enjoyed many, many other recipes I've gotten from Allrecipes the reason I'm reviewing this is to counteract some of the negative reviews! This is absolutely delicious made as the recipe is written! I agree with those who say people shouldn't change the recipe and then complain because it isn't to their liking! Make it as the recipe is written and then make changes IF necessary! Changes are not necessary for this recipe - I made it 2 weeks AS WRITTEN - it was to die for! I'm making it again this weekend AS WRITTEN! I use a spring form pan, oreo cookies which I take apart and discard the white stuff, Guinness beer, and place a pan of water on the shelf under the cheesecake. The only thing I do differently is to make a ganache from Ghirardelli 60% chocolate and heavy cream --and that is not a change, it's an addition! Please try this as written! And if you make it with all sorts of changes and don't like the result, keep your opinions to yourself! And I also take offense to the reviewer referring to the Holy Mother for a recipe review!! No wonder your recipe didn't turn out! Sorry to be so vocal but to criticize someone who is willing to share a recipe is beyond my comprehension. Life is short - let's be kind to each other!

Only a few counties are included in this latest installment of a Heat Advisory. The targeted areas will likely experience an extended period of heat & humidity. Don't let Mother Nature fool you... just because the advisory covers other conuties is not a reason to let your guard down!
This area will see a longer period of heat indices around 100-105 than the rest of us. That's why the advisory is out for those counties you see above.
Here are the basics:

ABC is wisely making the most of tomorrow's Super Day. Expecting that plenty of analog TV owners will be watching the big game on their best bud's HDTV, the network is pumping those analog eyeballs with plenty of promotions for its HD line-up. Expect to see high-definition commercials and promos for Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, The Evidence and Sons and Daughters.
This is a brilliant marketing move by ABC; the Super Bowl will look
great in high-def, but analog viewers will get to see the other 720p presentations that ABC has to offer. More
importantly, these shows have weekly recurring episodes, so the viewers are bound to consider an HD purchase if they
can get a weekly (or even nightly) benefit from the expense.

Nathan Brown's research and teaching focus on 20th and 21st century poetry and poetics, continental philosophy, and science/technology studies. His first book, The Limits of Fabrication: Materials Science and Materialist Poetics, is in press with Northwestern University Press, forthcoming Spring 2014. The Limits of Fabrication examines concepts of form and practices of fabrication in nanoscale materials science and contemporary materialist poetics, updating the context in which poetry might be considered a form of building. He is currently engaged in two other book projects. Absent Blue Wax: Rationalist Empiricism considers the resurgence of rationalism in contemporary French philosophy in relation to various radical empiricisms. The project includes specific engagements with the work of Descartes and Hume, Gaston Bachelard, Louis Althusser, Gilles Deleuze, Alain Badiou, Quentin Meillassoux, C.S. Peirce, and Alfred North Whitehead. Research toward a new book project—titled Metrical Modernity and focused on the concept of measure in philosophy, science, and poetry—is funded by a 2013-2014 UC Davis Hellman Fellowship.
Professor Brown also teaches courses in the Designated Emphasis Program in Critical Theory and in Science & Technology Studies. He is the coordinator of Conjuncture - A Series of Symposia on 21st Century Philosophy, Politics, and Aesthetics. With Cynthia Mitchell, he runs a residency program in the Sierras, The Mercury School.

I just made it back from the hamfest in Princeton, IL. It is a really nice day for it – sunny and in the low 80′s.
I purchased a few items, but nothing major. This is what I picked up:
Microsoft Office 2000 Professional & dBase V for Windows – $10.00
Super Star Hits Stamped in Gold 8-track (1981 K-Tel compilation that features "I'm Alright" – Kenny Loggins, "The Tide is High" – Blondie, "Whip It" – Devo, "Don't Stand So Close To Me " – The Police) $3.00
2 Power Cords – $1.00
5 paperback books that deal with programming Apple II computers. – $2.00
Total amount spent: $16.00
Here is some pictures I took at the fest:
This afternoon I plan on installing Office 2000 and dBase V on my PowerBook using Virtual PC running Windows XP. With a little luck, they will both install properly…. Right now I'm using Office 95. I find that older versions of Office run better under Virtual PC. The new versions seem bloated and run slower…..
I also want to go out Geocaching some more. There is a cluster of 5 caches that are in the same park – would be fun to go and find them all….

Celebrating 50th Anniversaries
This past weekend, Anna Maria College celebrated its annual Reunion Weekend. The highlight of this weekend every year is the recognition of our 50th anniversary class … this year it was the class of 1962. These women have lived extraordinary lives and provide a living history of this special College. As they share their stories of their lives at AMC and the decades after graduation, one is provided with a unique perspective on the changes in the world that they have experienced.
As I reflected on my time with the Class of 1962 and all of our alumni/ae, I was reminded of the fact that these golden anniversary women graduated in the same year that Vatican II was convened. Just a few days ago on October 11, 2012, the Catholic Church commemorated the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican II. These women have lived the experience of the evolution of the Church… and there have been many changes.
One change that really extends beyond the Catholic world is the impact Vatican II has had on ecumenism. As Fr. John O'Malley from Georgetown reminds us,
"Before the council, Catholics were not only forbidden to pray with those of other faiths but also indoctrinated into a disdain or even contempt for them. (This was, of course, a two-way street.) Now, for the first time, Catholics were encouraged to foster friendly relations with Orthodox and Protestant Christians, as well as Jews and Muslims, and even to pray with them. The council condemned all forms of anti-Semitism and insisted on respect for Judaism and Islam as Abrahamic faiths, like Christianity."
When Vatican II was convened by Pope John XXIII, it was the largest gathering of Catholic leaders to ever take place. When the 50th Anniversary Mass took place on October 11, 2012, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, were invited to attend.
Fr. O'Malley attributes this clear movement towards openness and ecumenism in the past twenty-five years to the life experience of Pope John Paul II. He suggests that Pope John Paul II's experience as a Vatican diplomat and papal nuncio helped him to more fully understand and appreciate the "goodness as he found it in people of other faiths and no faith." O'Malley concludes that this led Pope John Paul II to focus on reconciliation most notably with Jews, but also with Muslims.
While Pope Benedict XVI is more remembered for his ill advised comment about Muslims in 2006 just months after his election, his address at a mosque in Amman, Jordan in 2009 and his visit to the synagogue of Rome in 2010 reflect this same openness to others and a spirit of reconciliation.
Vatican II served as the genesis for many important developments in the Catholic Church. Over the past five decades, there have been significant reforms in the way we worship and celebrate Mass, the opportunities for all people to participate in Church leadership, and a more widespread commitment to education. These changes have really impacted Catholic colleges and universities as we welcome people of all faiths and traditions into the common search for truth.
This past weekend, the Class of 1962 shared their impressions of the changes in AMC over the past decades. But they also shared their experiences of increased opportunities for women and the evolution of the Church they love.
The Catholic Church is not perfect and there is still much to do to achieve the vision of Vatican II. But just as Reunion Weekend celebrates the lives and accomplishments of our distinguished graduates, it is right and appropriate to say, "Happy 50th Anniversary." 1962 was a very good year!

At the beginning of the last school year, Social Studies Department Chair challenged his students in AP American History with a project designed to get them thinking about the upcoming .
Students, who for the most part were in second grade when this nation was attacked in 2001, were assigned the task of researching and for placement in New Canaan.
As announced on Tuesday Sept. 7, , Tess Litchman, , and , all members of the Class of 2012, were the creators of the winning memorial design, which was chosen by members of the NCHS Social Studies Department faculty.
Their assignment was threefold: they were to research memorials done to commemorate previous American wars; design a memorial, including selecting a site which, according to their assignment, "should be carefully chosen and reflect the purpose and narrative of your proposal and reflect the values — as you perceive them — of the town which will host it" and prepare a "white paper" explaining their project.
The intent behind their design was to keep it, "simple and understated," said O'Rourke, with a focus on the names of Fairfield County residents who were lost.
Their design encompases two towers, one black marble, with the names inscribed, and the other glass.
The glass tower leans on the marble one. The "translucence symbolized light," and the tower is supported by the other in a symbol of brotherhood and community, while also recalling what happened that day Litchman said.
They selected the Talmadge Hill train station as the site for the design's installation. Their intent was to, "keep commuters in mind," Kilbride said.
Saiz said the design was chosen deliberately to reach the people who were most affected by the attack on the twin towers.
"Commuters are the key people who go into New York City, who saw those buildings every day," she said.
As they explained in their white paper, "because of the proximity to New York City, and the close ties economically between this suburb and its urban center, New York, the most logical place for the memorial is a train station where those most deeply impacted may quietly pay their respects."
As for the future of their planned memorial, Webb says the town, including , has been extremely supportive.
While recognizing that there are many things that must fall into place for this project to come to fruition: public, government and financial support, Webb stresses that the most difficult work has been done.
He applauded the thought and effort his students put into their plans.
The foursome said that they credit teamwork for their success. Saiz said that the design concept was a group effort, but all agreed that they also each had specific strengths and skills that they brought to the project.
"It's our goal to see the memorial built," Webb said, "In due time. Memorials take a long time to build, but we pledge to try to make it happen."

A man was with robbing a Domino's Pizza delivery driver in Florissant on Tuesday.
Trevor Tysinger, 22, whose address was listed as being in the 12500 block of Woodstream Drive in Spanish Lake, was charged with robbery Thursday in St. Louis County Circuit Court.
In a report, said that the delivery driver was delivering a pizza to an apartment in the 700 block of Mescalero Court, but did not get an answer at the door. As the delivery driver started to leave, he was confronted by a man in a mask. The masked man pointed what appeared to be a gun at him and demanded cash.
The victim gave him $15 in cash from his pocket.
Florissant Police said the phone number used to order the pizza was traced back to Tysinger. The apartment was his former residence.
Ferguson Police arrested Tysinger Wednesday. He was wearing the same clothes described by the victim and still had the mask used in the robbery, according to the report.
He is being held in St. Louis County Jail on $50,000 bond.

Free security analytics service available to any organization to measure the effectiveness of their security investments.
University Park, PA (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
The College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State, in partnership with Tripwire, Inc., a leading global provider of risk-based security and compliance management solutions, today announced that the top 25 percent of vulnerability management contributors scanned their networks nearly continuously and had an average aggregate host risk score of 2.14 using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
CVSS is an industry standard that measures the severity of vulnerabilities and prioritizes remediation efforts. CVSS scores range from zero to ten and vulnerabilities with a base score in the range of 7.0-10.0 are critical, 4.0-6.9 are major and 0-3.9 are minor.
Average host risk score, as well as average days since the last scan, are two key vulnerability management metrics derived from Penn States Benchmark, a free, cloud-based cybersecurity analytics service. Benchmark allows security professionals to collaborate on security best practices and compare their security performance against community and industry benchmarks.
Average aggregate host risk score and average days since last scan are excellent indicators of vulnerability management performance because they tend to move in the same direction, said Rod Murchison, vice president of product management at Tripwire. Together, these scores indicate that companies that scan more frequently tend to have a more effective vulnerability remediation process, lowering their overall vulnerability risks scores.
Vulnerability management is a foundational security control that proactively prevents the exploitation of IT vulnerabilities. As a leading cybersecurity program performance management indicator, vulnerability management is referenced in every major security standard, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity and the 20 Critical Security Controls (20 CSC). Proactive management of vulnerabilities dramatically reduces the potential of successful cyberattacks and improves risk posture.
Benchmark is a great example of the type of tools we need to train the next generation of cybersecurity analysts, and that is precisely why we are integrating it into our undergraduate curriculum, said Dr. David Hall, dean of the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State. Benchmark metrics help analysts take a qualitative approach to the capabilities of their cybersecurity infrastructure. Together, these metrics also make it possible for cybersecurity experts to evaluate the performance of their security controls at a higher level of abstraction.
Tripwire donated its Benchmark service to the Center for Cyber Security, Information Privacy and Trust at Penn States College of Information Sciences and Technology in April. The free Penn State security analytics service is available today to any organization that would like to measure the effectiveness of their IT security investments.

Thread: Rhymes forgets "Crack is Whack"
Rhymes forgets "Crack is Whack"
HASTINGS, Minn. -- Former Vikings receiver George "Buster" Rhymes was arrested after driving the wrong way on a highway this week -- and police say he was still trying to puff on a crack pipe when an officer approached his car.
Rhymes, 42, played for the Vikings from 1985 to 1987.
The Minnesota State Patrol arrested Rhymes late Wednesday after an officer forced his car off of U.S. 52 to avoid a head-on collision with oncoming traffic. He was jailed early Thursday on suspicion of possession of cocaine, drunken driving, and fleeing a police officer.
A concerned driver called police around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday to report seeing a car driving erratically, with a flat tire, that hit a construction barrel. When a trooper caught up with the car, it was headed the wrong way on the highway, Patrol Capt. Jay Swanson said.
Swanson said the trooper saw Rhymes trying to take a hit off a crack pipe as he approached the car. Court records indicate lab tests later found traces of cocaine in the pipe.
The criminal complaint filed Friday said that when the trooper asked Rhymes why he didn't stop, the former athlete said, "I was out of my mind."
Dakota County prosecutors charged Rhymes on Friday with several crimes, the most serious being possession of cocaine and fleeing a police officer.
Rhymes served four months in jail in 2002 for carjacking a Lexus in White Bear Lake, where he lives. And he is awaiting sentencing in a 2003 robbery in St. Paul where he pleaded guilty to felony robbery for jumping into a woman's car and fighting her for control.Have you ever seen a race of turtles, and they all go the wrong way instead of towards the finish line?
Welcome to the NFC North.

When you sign the front of a building, the key bit of information users would want is the number. This is especially true on a long main street such as Elizabeth Street in Sydney.
Despite it being executed on a flat surface, designing effective signage requires an appreciation of 3D space. It is more than graphic design.
This sequence of photos shows the unfortunate results of what happens when a designer works on a signage project without a clue of what is around the final piece.
I am walking down Elizabeth Street looking for number 410. I think I am close but am not sure which is the doorway to the building. Could this be it?
Or have I overshot it? Why tell me what I already know – I am on Elizabeth Street. But is this 410?
Oh yes it is. When I peer into the entryway and see the number, tucked as far away from visibility as possible!
Had the designer been aware of the surrounding environment, instead of merely looking at a white flat surface of x-y dimensions, he/she would probably have come up with the following, more usable, solution.
Good signage is about easy wayfinding, not exploration!
Do you know what it happens all over the world and i am forever trying to find numbers for business i am trying to visit but can you find it can you heck because the writting is in such small print on the wall that not even a mouse can read it . I am in the uk and it happens here .. like you said maybe they will maybe one day think and make it a bit larger to read and easier to find.
<sarcasm>Awww – but it looks sooo good on my computer screen when I am laying it out flat and without any of the nasty distractions call reality…</sarcasm>

A accident with a lawnmower almost cost Robby Seyler more than a chance to compete at this weekend's state track and field championships in Syracuse.
Last month the Lew-Port pentathlete sliced the last three fingers on his right hand while reaching into the family lawnmower to dislodge a twig. He received 34 stitches. "It happened in a split second. I'm lucky to have my fingers," he said.
He got the stitches out earlier this week and was able to represent the Lancers at the state meet. He said it was difficult to hold the shot put, he could only use three fingers, but that didn't prevent him from throwing his personal record 34-11.25. In fact, he did his PR in four of the five events: shot, 110 hurdles, high jump and 1,500 meters. He was rewarded with a career best 3,010 points.
"It's the state meet and you've got to bring it," said Seyler, moments "Everyone else is at a high level so I had to bring up my game a notch."
Seyler will attend Niagara County Community College in the fall and will play basketball.

Staying flexible
Oct 16th
Posted by Florian Beer in Mac
Since I've got a full-time job I tend to leave my former primary source of computing, my dear little black MacBook, at home more and more. Since my company will assign me to various different projects in the future I have to get used to working in different environments and on varying operating systems. My daily dose of communications consists of several different protocols/programs and just lately I guess I found a way to have each of them available on my laptop with a designated client as well as online, via web-based apps.
Here is a short breakdown:
Since I solely rely on IMAP, there is no problem at all, keeping my email accessible wherever I am. There's Apple Mail on my computer, the already quite awesome Roundcube Webmail that I've got running on my server. And for all those times, I can't access any of both, I keep my good old friend Mutt close as well.
Well, that's a completely different story. I really wished Google Reader would synchronize with various desktop RSS clients but it doesn't seem like that could be any time soon. So in the meantime I'm gonna stick to NetNewsWire which, to me, serves the best interface on the Mac and, with the license I bought over a year ago, automatically syncs to Newsgator which features a semi decent web-based RSS reader.
That point is really pretty much settled. Nothing beats Adium as a desktop client on the Mac. And absolutely nothing even comes close to one of the most awesome web-apps: Meebo. With a single username/password combination I can log in to their website and I'm instantly online in AIM, Google Talk, ICQ and MSN.
I'm a heavy user of iCal on the Mac because it syncs perfectly to my two cellphones. And lazy as I am, I tend to forget a lot of appointments, so it's absolutely necessary to always have this data with me. For a long time I was thinking about a way to sync my iCal to Google Calendar, since I already got a Google account anyway. But there didn't seem to be any easy, cheap way to accomplish this. Just a few days ago I finaly found a remedy for my calendaring problems: Plaxo
Plaxo allows you to sync your whole AdressBook and iCal in one swoop and features a really nice calendar interface on their webpage, that also lets me add events via the web that get synced back to my laptop whenever I turn it on. I have to say I'm really satisfied with that solution and their whole service seems quite promising.
Contact Data
For quite a long time I kept exporting my Mac OS X AddressBook as a Vcard file and uploaded it to my GoogleMail account, so in case of emergency I could look up email addresses or other contact details while away from my laptop. The problem was that I didn't do it regularly so the data was never up to date. Now Plaxo also cured this problem, by syncing automatically to a neat, very Web 2.0′isch, address book interface that I can always summon in any webbrowser. As an added bonus, I instantly found a few of my contacts to be already in Plaxo and received their updated contact data.

This tid bit of info gathered today from media blog Cynthia Turner should scare you .....this is what China does - are we headed into a Oligarchy Tolatarian State - and I don't care what you're politics are but this ain't good - we have been hit with Cyber attacks before and we have dealt with it so, this makes no sense unless someone wants to really control what you watch, read and listen to - this is not, in my opinion, good for Democracy and it is another attempt to strip your freedom away a little bit at a time - be afraid - very afraid ........ Cynopsis: DIGITAL
Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) introduced legislation that would authorize the President to shut down the internet (like the Egyptian government did last week - PS,...they did it to keep their people from communicating with each other and to sending and receiving news and information from inside and outside the country) to protect the U.S. from "cyber attacks." The President must notify Congress of his intention to do so, and the emergency measures cannot be continued beyond 120 days without congressional approval.

As Rep. Charles Rangel, New York Democrat, heads into the ethics committee hearing today to see what kind of violations he is being accused of, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, has been routinely criticized for a statement she made about four years ago regarding cleaning up corruption in the House, saying she was going to "drain the swamp."
On Thursday, she made some distinctions about that statement. When asked if her original statement was solely about Republicans, Ms. Pelosi answered,
"I [was] talking about the Republican stewardship of the House. The Washington Post, I think, described it as a criminal syndicate," she said.
She pointed out what she thought was the difference between GOP corruption in the past and today's ethics committee hearing dealing with Mr. Rangel.
"This is completely different. Individual indiscretions are not right. They must be judged and there must be accountability and there must be transparency. It's not to condone that. What I'm talking about is public trust in terms of passing legislation. It's about people's interest not a criminal syndicate."
House Minority Leader John Boehner, Ohio Republican, told reporters that he is glad to see the ethics committee doing its work now, and when asked about Ms. Pelosi's "drain the swamp" remark, he said "The fact is, she made that statement over four years ago and the fact is, the swamp has not been drained."

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP/WBOC)- A Maryland Senate committee has approved a sweeping gun control measure.
The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee voted 7-4 late Thursday night in favor of Senate Bill 281, which is a top priority of Gov. Martin O'Malley's legislative agenda. The vote sends the legislation to the full Senate for debate next week.
In one of the biggest changes, the legislation would prohibit someone from owning a handgun if he or she has been involuntarily committed for mental health reasons.
The committee wrangled over how to address gun ownership for people who are voluntarily committed. But they did not arrive at a consensus to change the current law, which prohibits them from owning a gun if they were voluntarily in a mental hospital for more than 30 days.
