So, naturally, I agree with this.
If anything can be said of our generation, it's this: We want sexy back. Our parent's generation, well, they lost it. They delivered to us a world with sky-high rates of divorce, abortion, and STDs; a world bored with sex and bored with romance; a world in which more and more people are turning to pornography to find sexual satisfaction; a world in which 1 in 5 women report being sexual assaulted, and the human body — the sexiest thing in the universe — is used to sell cars.
After extremely little consideration, we decided we don't want that. We want awesome relationships and mind-blowing sex lives. We want women and men to be respected and loved for who they are, to the very depths of their being. We want sex free from fear, love free from use, and a world of people who love and respect their own bodies. In short, we want sexy back. In fact, we demand it.
So we got together — a group of college kids — to find the root of this mentality. (aka what the hell happened!?) Well, though any cultural change contains all sorts of contributing factors, we think we've narrowed all the wackness down to its primary cause: The widespread use of artificial contraception.
This is a dangerous idea. It's dangerous because artificial contraception is heavily promoted by big pharmaceutical companies — like Bayer Corp. — and contraception providers — like Planned Parenthood. It's dangerous because it's not an idea supported by those in power. But most of all, it's dangerous because it's true.
We found, by looking at the best available analysis from sociology, medicine, philosophy and economics, that the widespread use of artificial contraception has failed to decrease STD prevalence, increased the global rate of HIV, seriously harmed the environment, screwed up relationships, and is strongly correlated with increased divorces, abortions, and unplanned pregnancies. We found that hormonal contraception significantly increases a woman's risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, heart disease, and may very well be lowering her sex drive. We found that the safety and effectiveness artificial contraception is often falsely advertised by pharmaceutical companies, and that the health benefits of hormonal contraception are totally exaggerated.
So we were all like,
"The Church is not a community of the perfect, but a community of sinners, obliged to recognize their need for God's love, their need to be purified through the cross of Christ."
The Presbyterian Church in America's General Assembly on Thursday approved resolutions that criticize Wycliffe Bible Translators new Bible translations geared toward Muslims that omit "Father" and "Son" from the Trinity. PCA delegate Rev. Travis Hutchinson reports the resolutions "passed almost unanimously."To "water down" the Scriptures is not the way to get Muslims to convert to Christianity. The denominations pushing back are correct in this debate.
Not even Wycliffe's move to submit to a World Evangelical Alliance's review could stop PCA from expressing its concern over Wycliffe's translation practices. At issue is Wycliffe's contention that in certain "Muslim contexts" where "a literal translation of 'Son of God' would communicate wrong meaning, an alternative form with equivalent meaning may be used."
PCA joins the Assemblies of God, which also has expressed serious reservations in its document about Wycliffe's translation philosophy. The Assemblies of God World Missions has threatened to sever ties if "Father" and "Son" are not translated literally.
Wycliffe has had a long and respected history of Bible translation, but the public rebuke from these denominations could have serious financial implications. The PCA resolutions recommend churches to cut funding not only for questionable Wycliffe translation projects but also for "persons advocating problematic approaches to translation."

"Catholics can proclaim the Gospel through their acts of service for others…. Charity must be a kind of evangelization - not direct evangelization, but to make each one know who Christ is, and know the love of God."This is exactly the philosophy of the Catholic ministry 'A Simple House'; they spread the Gospel through what they call "friendship evangelization" performed through words, actions, and relationships.

"As often as the sacrifice of the cross in which Christ our Passover was sacrificed, is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried on, and, in the sacrament of the eucharistic bread, the unity of all believers who form one body in Christ is both expressed and brought about." -LG 3So, all of us who participate in Mass are part of one Mystical Body of Christ - the Church - who come together to partake of the one sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, which is most profoundly offered to us, once again, in The Eucharist.
These days, families come in all forms - single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors... It's 2012 and anything goes.Try out the trailer:
Bryan and David are a Beverly Hills couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed and loving partnership, the one thing missing is a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie, an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A Midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother, Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight-year-old daughter. Desperate and broke - but also fertile - Goldie quickly becomes the guys' surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.
"he taught them as one with authority" -Mt. 7:29The dictionary defines authority as "the power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine, or judge". God Himself is our ultimate authority. He has the authority to command us, and it is right and just for us to obey. Obedience to God is a virtue! Without it we cannot reach our full human potential. The people recognized in Jesus' teaching the authority of God Himself. There was a supernatural weight behind His words. He affirmed this Himself on the day He ascended into Heaven, declaring
"all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations … teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you" -Mt. 28:18-20St. Paul describes the charism which animated his entire preaching mission as
"grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of the faith for the sake of his name among all the nations" -Romans 1:5The obedience of faith.
"Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices; as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry." -1 Samuel 15:22-23Jesus too tells his disciples that loving Him is equivalent to obeying Him:
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments" -John 14:15.The beloved disciple in turn testifies to this mark of true discipleship, stating
"for this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome." -1 John 5:3But what about obeying people? Frail sinful human beings who (unlike Jesus) are not God? In what sense is it ever good to obey them? Here is where the Catholic Church makes a radically unpopular claim. Our Lord has shared His authority with human beings, and we have an obligation to obey them when they command within their jurisdiction. In so doing, we obey God.
"let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God" -Romans 13:1This needs to be read with the understanding that God's authority (which must always be obeyed) is only present when those in power rule according to His law. Laws must therefore respect the inalienable dignity of the human person to be binding. For St. Thomas Aquinas, laws are only valid when they are in accord with natural law, God's truth written into the universe and capable of being understood by all (The 10 Commandments are a great summary of much of the content of natural law). Legislators exercise authority rightly when they rule for the sake of the common good of all, and not just certain groups (such as those outside the womb). Legislators have the authority to set the speed limit at whatever speed they want (within reason), and those laws are binding upon us. However, when governments command violations of human dignity, such as forced abortion, forced sterilization, and the violation of conscience, they step beyond their rightful authority and subjects are not bound to obey. God's authority is never present when sin is commanded.
"give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" -Mt 16:19All who heard these words would have known that Jesus was referring to the conferring of authority over the kingdom spoken of in Isaiah 22:22. These keys of authority belong rightly to Our Lord Jesus, who assures us He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth, and yet He tells Peter that He is entrusting them to him so that he might rule in His name. When Peter was set free of his office on earth, he passed them to his successor.
"If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained" -John 20:28This authority too has been passed on to all their ordained priestly successors, so that we today are able to take advantage of this wondrous gift in the sacrament of confession. How can we ever thank Our Lord enough for giving our priests His own authority to cleanse us of sin in His name?
"have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ". Romans 1:5-6 (emphasis mine)
"You should meet this guy with the SIO. He's sort of this kind of social entrepreneur thinking outside of the box in the sustainability space and working on these ideas around sort of web-based social media, and he's in a round two capital raise in the VP space with the people at SVNP."If not, then you are a normal human being who has trouble with business buzz-words. They drive me nuts and according to this article, I am not alone. A snip:
I'd say that in about half of my business conversations, I have almost no idea what other people are saying to me. The language of internet business models has made the problem even worse. When I was younger, if I didn't understand what people were saying, I thought I was stupid. Now I realize that if it's to people's benefit that I understand them but I don't, then they're the ones who are stupid.If you think his article is a bit of a stretch, then you must either be an undergrad or have a job that doesn't expose you to such verbal mish-mash. Below is an example, though I doubt you will make it through the entire video (and that is perfectly normal):
There are at least five strains of this epidemic.
We have forgotten how to use the real names of real things. Like doorknobs. Instead, people talk about the idea of doorknobs, without actually using the word "doorknob." So a new idea for a doorknob becomes "an innovation in residential access." Expose yourself repeatedly to the extrapolation of this practice to things more complicated than a doorknob and you really just need to carry Excedrin around with you all day.

While the nation discusses and debates the attacks on religious freedom, a high school junior in Florida has put her academic reputation on the line to stand up for her faith. Margeaux Graham was selected this year to participate in The American Legion Auxiliary's prestigious 9-day leadership event, the "Girls State" program. When Margeaux learned she would not be allowed to attend Sunday mass during the event, she decided to decline the honor.
The country's parliament voted through the new law on same-sex marriage by a large majority, making it mandatory for all churches to conduct gay marriages.
Denmark's church minister, Manu Sareen, called the vote "historic".
"I think it's very important to give all members of the church the possibility to get married. Today, it's only heterosexual couples."
Under the law, individual priests can refuse to carry out the ceremony, but the local bishop must arrange a replacement for their church.
The far-Right Danish People's Party mounted a strong campaign against the new law, which nonetheless passed with the support of 85 of the country's 111 MPs.
"Marriage is as old as man himself, and you can't change something as fundamental," the party's church spokesperson Christian Langballe said during the debate. "Marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman."
Karsten Nissen, the Bishop of Viborg, who is refusing to carry out the ceremonies, has warned that the new law risks "splitting the church". Continue Reading.
The whole problem with our culture can be summed up by the coffee we drink. The science, nay the art, of drinking black coffee revolves around enjoying that which is not enjoyable. The phrase "acquired taste" means just that – the acquisition of tastes we do not have: the taste for bitterness, the taste for harshness. Learning to love a dark cup of coffee means loving the unlovable, which is the definition of Christian charity. It does not mean ignoring the bitterness and choking the stuff down. That's the mere toleration of the unlovable – which is the definition of cowardice, lameness and current American liberalism.
Our culture has worked to eradicate the cup of black coffee. Before there was a War on Christmas, before there was a War in Iraq, there was the far greater and far viler War on Joe. Lead by the hulking behemoth of diversity-in-coffee, Starbucks, the virtue of bitterness was all but spat upon. There is no end of foam, chocolate, corn syrup, chipped ice and vanilla cream you can drown a noble quarter cup of coffee in. There are, as we speak, growing mountains of plastic cups smeared with the remnants of whipped cream and flavor shots — stuff used to hide the bitterness of coffee.
In this sad state of affairs, people are less than likely to learn to love the unlovable.
Is this not a perfect parallel to our world's view of suffering? Suffering is evil, it is confusing, we've no taste for it, so we do whatever we can to disguise it, to hide it. Oh, to be sure, there will be the broadcasting of well-dressed celebrities telling us to aid those suffering, but our slums will remain as far away from our suburban developments as we can get them. There will be laws passed to ensure that the homeless cannot beg where we don't want them, or sleep where we can see them. When entire nations fall to the grip of AIDS epidemics, we haven't the taste for walking among them, but we've enough moral fiber to send them billions of condoms with a "Hope for the Best!" card attached. We want the sweetness of sex without the reality of children. We want good health without having to diet and exercise.

"The less tangible implication of incorporating this level of information into pre-natal decision-making raises many ethical questions that must be considered carefully within the scientific community and on a societal level.I don't see how it won't lead to more abortions. Currently, about 90% of prenatal children diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted.
"As in other areas of clinical genetics, our capacity to generate data is outstripping our ability to interpret it in ways that are useful to physicians and patients."
These principles are most often applicable to discern about a course of action, but many of them can also apply to discerning the promptings and urges that the faithful often sense in their walk with God, and which cause them to wonder, is this of God or just me?
Disclaimers. – None of these principles should be read in an absolute sense. They all admit of limits and distinctions. They are merely principles that guide further reflection. In a brief blog, not everything can be said about them, and you may wish to use the comments to elaborate some of your own thoughts and distinctions. Secondly, while not every principle applies to every situation, as a general rule, these principles ought to be used together and in tandem. It would be wrong merely to use one principle, and think discernment is complete. Generally these are all part of a process and their evidence should be considered collectively.
Principle 1 – State of life. There are many different states in life, some permanent, some long-lasting, some only temporary. We may be single, married, a priest, a religious, young, old, healthy, or fragile in health. We may be a student, a parent, rich or poor. Being clear about our state in life can help us discern if a call is from God or not.
For example, a young woman may sense a call to spend extended hours before the Blessed Sacrament. Of itself this is surely a good and fine thing. But what if she is the mother of four young children? Would God ask this of her? Probably not. Perhaps one hour will be more in keeping with her state in life. On the other hand a single woman, may be free to do this, and it may even be a part of her learning of her vocation to the religious life. Other things being equal it is more likely we can be open to this call being of God in her case.Continue Reading.
State in life helps to do a lot of sorting out. A priest is not going to hear from God to leave the priesthood and marry the pretty woman in the front pew. An elderly and feeble man is not going to hear a call to go to walk the Camino in Spain, etc. We can be pretty clear that such notions are not of God. Yet other calls that seem to be in keeping with one's state in life are something to remain open to, and apply other principles that follow.
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Planned Parenthood and the Los Angeles Unified School District have teamed up in an unusual collaboration to reduce the number of unplanned teen pregnancies at Roosevelt High School.
Students can visit the on-campus health clinic to get free birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling and screening for sexually transmitted diseases – the first program of its kind in the country, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Birth rates among teenagers are down throughout California and Los Angeles County, but certain areas within the county, like the heavily Latino and low-income neighborhood around Roosevelt High School, buck that trend.
The school's health center is separate from the school nurse's office and also serves as a primary care clinic, according to the Times. However, about half of the visits this school year have been for reproductive health.
Roosevelt High School started offering contraception and counseling in 1997, but in 2006, that support from a local hospital ended and the school could no longer provide free contraceptives.
Nurse practitioner Sherry Medrano reached out to Planned Parenthood, which now provides a medical assistant, contraceptives, pregnancy and STDs testing. The organization bills Family PACT, a public program that provides family planning to low-income and uninsured California residents, the Times reported.
Students are also trained as peer advocates to talk to their classmates about STDs and pregnancy prevention.

Olympic Swimmers Highlight Kerr-McGee Pro Am Swim Meet -- December 11, 1997
Oklahoma City, OK - Four-time 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Amy Van Dyken and 1996 double Gold Medalist Gary Hall, Jr., and 1992 and 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Jenny Thompson top off a field of over 570 competing December 18-21, 1997, at the 6th Annual Kerr-McGee Corporation Elite Pro-Am swim meet at Oklahoma City Community College. The Kerr-McGee Corporation Elite Pro-Am is the nation's only professional swim meet. Van Dyken, Thompson, and Hall will be challenged by a field of fellow Olympians, U.S. National Champions, and top college/high school athletes as they compete for over $45,000 in cash and prizes.
Josh Davis, Jon Olsen, Melanie Valerio, John Hargis, and Tripp Schwenk lead the list of fellow 1996 U.S. Olympians.
Two weeks ago in Canada, Jenny Thompson set the world record in the 50-meter Butterfly.
Penny Heyns, who set the world records while winning Gold in the 100 and 200 Breaststroke in Atlanta for the Republic of South Africa, and Gustavo Borges, Brazil's Bronze medalist in the 100 freestyle in Atlanta, will challenge the American's for honors.
A new feature of the meet this year will be the Jackie Cooper 50 Yard Freestyle Shootout, with $15,000 on the line Saturday night, December 20th.
The Jackie Cooper Shoot Out will be a tournament bracket-style event. Following the morning preliminary swims, the top eight women and men will faceoff in a series of head-to-head races during the evening Championship races. The single elimination races will culminate with the championship shoot out -- one race, two people, head-to-head for $6,000. The $15,000 prize purse will be divided equally among the men's and women's events, with the winner in each division taking home $6,000. Second place finishers will receive $1,500, with third place worth $500.00
Jackie Cooper, an Oklahoma City-based group of automotive companies which includes new vehicle dealerships and tire/electronic stores, is sponsoring this first-ever event in Oklahoma City.
In addition to the $15,000 for the Jackie Cooper Shoot Out, an additional $31,000 in cash and prizes will be on the line throughout the meet. Kerr-McGee Swim Club (KMSC), the host of the Kerr-McGee Corporation Elite Pro-Am, has been breaking new ground in swimming in the United States since the inception of the meet six years ago. "The tradition continues with the addition of the Jackie Cooper Shoot Out, " said Jim Sullins, Meet Director. "KMSC developed the Pro-Am swim meet in the United States, and this year's Jackie Cooper Shoot Out is the first time in the history of swimming in this country that an event like this has been incorporated into a normal meet format where every athlete in the meet has a chance to qualify for the Shoot Out."
The Kerr-McGee Corporation Elite Pro-Am and the Jackie Cooper Shoot Out will be the final tune-up for many of these athletes as the finish preparations for the World Championships to be held in mid-January in Perth, Australia. World Team Members from the U.S. competing in the meet besides Van Dyken, Thompson, Valerio, Davis, Hall, Hargis, and Olsen, are Barbara Bedford, Chad Carvin, Ron Karnaugh, and Bill Pilczuk.

Sarah Palin building the future of the GOP?
The Republican Party is in turmoil, but have they found a guiding light in Sarah Palin?
If a new video released by her political action committee is to be believed, yes. The video features many pundits arguing that Palin is a bit of a rogue who is looking to reshape the GOP.
Keep an eye out in this video for a cameo made by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer as well.
Also, there's a bear at the end. It's neat.

Hundreds of Vodafone customers hit with poor reception
3:42pm Friday 9th November 2012 in News By Emma Streatfield, Senior Reporter
VODAFONE users have been left unable to use their mobile phones thanks to poor reception.
This is the second time in less than four months that customers in Romsey have been unable to make calls or send texts - the previous time their service was down for a month.
The company said it was caused by a hardware fault on a mast affecting a mile to a mile and a half radius.
The Echo was contacted by several people affected by the problem, which started on Thursday November 1 and had been fixed according to the company on Monday.
One customer was 66-year-old widower Malcolm McKay, who is registered blind and relies on his mobile phone to get help in case of emergency.
The retired systems manager, of The Horsefair, Romsey, said he had spoken to a further six people all affected.
"It's frustrating because it was three weeks or so last time and now it's happened again," he said.
"I'm unavailable - when I'm out if anything should happen to me I can't call for help. Sometimes the dog can go wrong and we can get lost.
"As with anything else when it doesn't work you might as well throw the thing out of the window."
Carphone Warehouse, in Romsey, reported an influx of around 200 people in the first few days after the reception went down and had even put a note about it for customers on its door.
A shop employee said some customers had been told by the Vodafone helpline that there was no reception problem and that they needed a new sim card.
Lisa Moore, landlady of the Tudor Rose pub, confirmed that once again she and her customers had been hit by the same problem.
The problem in July and August affected a half-mile radius in the town and was caused by a problem with a site in Romsey which was then upgraded to fix it.
A spokeswoman for Vodafone said the company had had intermittent problems locally since Thursday which had been resolved and it was monitoring the site at present.
Users reported reception had been restored.

I live in Bitterne and it happened to me yesterday for a few hours. I also noticed that some of my PAYG credit had gone as well! Try and explain that one Vodafone!

Freeview uses the same tech, satellites use more powerful radio waves to penetrate the atmosphere yet the same people who call mobile phone masts a "health risk", probably sit at home quite happily with the same/similar radio waves being projected directly at their house and family to watch eastenders, corrie or emerdale, admittedly they are kinda ugly but then so are dull buildings like the range in thornhill.
Nothing to do with not being allowed to put their masts where they would be most effective I suppose? You can never get a signal between Dean and Romsey on the train so I guess there is no coverage there at all. If there was a serious incident, smoke signals would be best option.

"Another Bordeaux-inspired wine, the 2009 Valdisanti represents a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc (in that order of importance). Fruit is sourced from the Tenuta S. Giovanni. On the nose, it shows delicate embroidery of spice, dark fruit and smoked cedar. There's a dusty mineral dryness to the finish backed by lush layers of red berry fruit and dark chewing tobacco. The mouthfeel is polished and tight, with beautifully integrated tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022."

"The 2011 Promis (55% Merlot, 35% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese) is darkly concentrated with thick tones of black tar, espresso, candied cherry, clove, rum cake and bitter chocolate. Although it feels broad and large in the mouth, the wine also shows enormous elegance and focus. That inner opulence is channeled into tight, sharp pulses that impact the palate with grace and poise."

"The 2008 Corbaia is striking in this vintage. A delicate, graceful bouquet gives the impression of femininity, until layers of fruit hit the palate with relentless energy and focus. The 2008 impresses for its balance and overall sense of harmony. The tannins are still huge at this stage, but I sense that as they melt away the wine's true pedigree will begin to emerge. This is a great, great showing from Castello di Bossi."

New trailer for Roland Emmerich's White House Down
Roland Emmerich directs, whilst Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum star, as the White House is back under attack...
Olympus Has Fallen has proven to be the first surprise hit of 2013. The White House under attack action movie has its problems, but it feels a purer action film that you get from a Die Hard sequel these days, and its global take currently stands at $130m off a $70m budget. It's all but guaranteed to be a sizeable hit on home formats too.
Which has left Sony with an interesting challenge. For it has the second White House under attack movie of the year to come, courtesy of Roland Emmerich's White House Down. This one stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, and is heading to our screens in September, hoping that we'll all go and watch two films of similar ilk. A brand new trailer for it has launched too, which you can see below.
The general rule when two movies arrive with similar subject matter in close succession is that the first is the 'clever' one (Deep Impact, Dante's Peak), with the more action-centric one to follow (Armageddon, Volcano). Might that change this time around? Take a look and see what you reckon...

This seems to be much more comedic than I expected.
Just my thought. I think I'll be giving it a miss.
Agreed... Not sire about the bromance elements in that trailer.
Looks a bit daft/too comedic to me! But agreed OHF was definitely a true Die Hard film!
What's with all the 'funny' lines? It makes Olympus Has Fallen seem like a drama.
It ought to be in your risky blockbusters of the 90's article.
Movie voice over man.
It's POTUS & BROTUS, in the action comedy of the year,
White House Down... If you ain't down with the Prez
INSERT punch or gunshot here
....You're going down.
INSERT explosion or scream here.
So many questions... Why are they playing the President like such a badass? Why is the script leaning closer to 21 Jump Street than Olympus Has Fallen? Most importantly, though, why the Hell does Channing Tatum think its acceptable to tell his daughter that he has an interview with the secret freaking service?? The clue is in the title, my friend, keep that on the down low!
Stuff like this used to happen every other episode in the West Wing...
Ok I lie, it happened only once or twice per season...
Alright I'm still telling porkies, it never happened in the West Wing but it was still an awesome show.
I thought Olympus Was Fallen was missing something. It was too po-faced and the action wasn't frequent or crazy enough. This doesn't look better, but I can probably forgive it more if it's light hearted, This tonally reminds me a lot of 90's action films. I'm getting so much Under Seige 1 & 2 from this. But I Under Seige 2 is one of my guilty pleasures. It's so awful with his incapable sidekick that becomes badass and the main character being underestimated but ultimately the ultimate killer. That said, if they made Under Seige 3 I wouldn't pay to see it, and I won't be paying to see this unless I hear very good things. Which i deem unlikely.
I actually like the look of this, CT has finally learnedm how to act (kind of) and he's grown a personality.
And looks like a worthy successor to The Die Hard films that have fallen from grace
I don't know, there was that episode where Jeb was looked quite aggressive while holding a pool cue - surely that's close enough?
This almost looks like the comedy version of White House Down.
this looks like what die hard 5 should have been. im interested.
What am I saying! I meant Olympus Has Fallen.
The president has way too much swag :)
Antoine Fuqua is easily twice the director that Roland Emmerich will ever be, so I'm guessing 'Olympus Has Fallen' is the better one between these two films... 'White House Down' may have the bigger budget, but 'Olympus Has Fallen' has the bigger kick to it, and didn't hold back on the ultra-violence the way this film undoubtedly will!
Brainless rubbish.
These movies are a lift from 24.
The arc in which African commandos seized the White House.
Which of course was part of a real-world plot to prime the American population for war with Africa ...
We've all got the title wrong. It's not "White House Down". It's "White House... DOWN!"

Effect of the Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin on an insect predator which has consumed intoxicated cabbage looper larvae
Authors: Yousten, A.A.
Journal, Volume, Year: Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, volume 21:312-314, 1973
One- and five-day feeding trials were conducted in which praying mantis were fed cabbage looper larvae intoxicated with Btk toxin. Cabbage looper larvae were intoxicated by feeding them a diet supplemented with 150 ug/ml of a commercial preparation of Btk. No mortality or abnormal behavior was noted among praying mantis fed intoxicated cabbage looper larvae for one or five days.
This was one of the very early studies done looking at trophic level effects of Bt toxins.

Steve Olenski, Contributor
I write about advertising, marketing, media & all subgroups therein.
Being the pop culture savant I am – as witnessed by my recent article 2014 Marketing Predictions With A Twist (click on the link, you'll see what I mean) – when I first heard the term "deep linking" I immediately thought of the 1970s flick The Deep starring Robert Shaw and Nick Nolte. I then had visions of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine dancing in my head.
Of course neither of these have anything to do with "deep linking" – a subject which many have wondered aloud as to it possibly being the future of mobile marketing and mobile advertising.
Over at Mashable Todd Wasserman wrote a piece back in October How Deep Links Could Revolutionize Mobile Advertising. And David Lee of URX referred to deep linking as The Past, Present and Future of Mobile Marketing.
So what exactly is deep linking and how does it pertain to the world of mobile marketing and advertising?
Well according to Lee "Mobile deeplinks are links to sub-pages of a mobile app." In more layman's terms deep linked mobile ads take you right to the product page within an app.
And the reason this is so important is for the fact that it allows advertisers to simplify the mobile user experience. For example, if you are playing a game in a given app and see an advertisement for ski boots, with mobile deep linking you can click on that ad and it will take you directly to the "buy" page within the given retailers app already on your phone.
Currently if you see a mobile ad for a given product you have to go through many hoops to get to that same "buy" page you wanted to get to all along.
Digging Deeper
Yes that pun was intended as I wanted to learn more about deep linking so I reached out to John Milinovich, the CEO of URX, a company, as Wasserman puts it which "… aims to enable advertising that sends a user from, say, a mobile banner ad to precisely the right page within an app."
You know the whole "ski boots path to purchase" example I just used.
The company is very new having just launched in October thanks in part to funding from an eclectic group of investors ranging from actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest to hall of fame quarterback Joe Montana to Google Google Ventures and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington.
According to Milinovich brands can benefit greatly from deep linking. "Deep linking makes a brand's marketing more effective by enabling things to work in a similar way to how they do on the web," he said, adding that "by linking to specific landing pages in apps, brands are able to create more relevant, higher converting marketing campaigns than what was available before."
Two brands who utilize deep linking are SeatGeek, which is a web application that forecasts concert and sports tickets on the secondary ticket market and HotelTonight, the global leader in apps for last-minute, same-day hotel bookings.
Russell D'Souza, Co-Founder of SeatGeek: "Deep linking lets us take users back to a particular screen on a mobile app. If a user is browsing Super Bowl tickets on SeatGeek but didn't complete their purchase, we want to hit that user with a target ad for the Super Bowl taking them back to the Super Bowl screen on SeatGeek. Deep linking removes several layers of the conversion funnel. "
As for HotelTonight, Sam Shank, CEO and Co-Founder says it's all about getting the consumer properly situated in the sales funnel. "Deep linking gets our customers on the right/correct path to purchase by allowing HotelTonight to choose where the user should start their in-app experience, such as a specific city hotel page."
What Lies Ahead
Great article, Steve (as always) – and here's another question for you (yes, you knew I would have one)… do you know what implication deep linking has, if any, for SEO strength under Google's newest rules? If you don't – maybe we can both dig "deeper" (sorry, couldn't resist) as another layer of this topic to examine a bit later on.
Thanks for an excellent post!
Deep links will have a big impact, no doubt. As much as native ads on mobile? No. I think native and video are the two top trends to watch in mobile advertising next year. That's where Facebook, Airpush, Twitter, and other tops social networks/ad networks are wisely focusing their attention today.
Great article, but maybe a few lessons in grammar and punctuation could help you in 2014. (note the nifty comma I put in just before the word "but")
So are we saying that the brand's application gets downloaded along with the game application?
As an advertiser, one of the coolest features now available on PPC ads to mobile devices is the Click-to-Call feature. Now you can generate inbound lead calls to your business and all prospects have to do is click one button on their phone when they see your ad. Once you've got it setup, all you have to do is optimize your ads to generate increasingly more calls. You can actually even track calls, but that's technical. If you're interested in that, I recommend you call Simon who will at least get you a free audit on your PPC campaign to help you improve results. His number is 256-398-3835.

One of our core strengths is our load cell indicators and measuring and signal conditioners.
What is a Load Cell Indicator?
Also known as a strain gauge indicator, a load cell indicator is designed and manufactured to display the real time data from load cells. Mantracourt's model PSD is a load cell display indicator which can also be used with other strain gauge based sensors such as torque transducers, pressure sensors as well as load cells.
The PSD battery powered strain gauge indicator is a microprocessor based portable instrument designed to interface with any full bridge sensor with an output sensitivity of up to 50mV/V. View the PSD Load Cell Indicator in more detail.
Using a Load Cell Indicator in the Field:
As an example of use, a calibration company could use the PSD load cell indicator to interface with TEDS enabled load cells for calibration and verification in the field. Encountering different environments and situations requires such calibration specialists to take readings from many different load cells.
A single load cell display can be used for all ranges of load cells from grams to tonnes. The calibration is held on a small TEDS capable IC buried inside the load cell itself. When connected to the load cell indicator the calibration data is read from the TEDS chip and used by the digital load cell indicator to display the measured signal in the correct calibrated units. Having high resolution and stable measurement as well as the advantage of one instrument connecting to many load cells, makes the handheld load cell indicator from Mantracourt very suitable for this situation.
What Can Be Connected To a Load Cell Indicator
The Mantracourt range of load cell indicators can be connected to a wide range of load cell types including compression, tensile, shear and torque.
There are different load cell types based on their electrical properties such as resistive, piezoelectric and capacitive however, the Mantracourt range load cell indicators can connect (or wirelessly connect) only to resistive bridge strain gauge types.
- We have compiled some Frequently Asked Questions on the PSD Load Cell Indicator.
- Mantracourt also produce a load cell indicator which can be connected to any RS232 interface and used to stream data to a PC or data logger for example. See Our Blog for more details.
- View all of Mantracourts Indicators and Displays
- Wireless Load Cell Indicators are also available as part of Mantracourt's T24 radio telemetry range which provides the hardware and software to create wireless load cells and other wireless sensors. See a telemetry handheld display.

Caleb's Crossing is the 2012 Reading Across Rhode Island choice, which means many activities involving the book, including a special May 5 breakfast with the author, have been scheduled around the state. But don't read it just for that reason. Read it because it is a fascinating glimpse of life at the time when the newly arrived English Puritans began engaging culturally with Native Americans. Read it because it is a gift to all those who love historical fiction with a strong sense of authenticity and accuracy.
This much is factual: in 1661, a young Native American from the Wampanoag tribe on Martha's Vineyard, was enrolled at the fledgling Harvard College. His name was Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck, a son of a Wampanog chieftain. Very little else is known about him except that he graduated in 1665 and died just a year later from consumption. He was the first of several Native Americans to be educated at Harvard as the English counted on them to bring Christianity and English values to their "pagan" cultures. Many English churches at the time happily funded this cause.
As she has done in several of her novels, Geraldine Brooks takes this tiny snippet of known history and uses to weave an enticing fictional tapestry. Caleb's life story is told through the eyes of Bethia Mayfield, the young daughter of a Puritan minister whose mission is to convert the Wampanoags of Martha's Vineyard. As she wanders around the beautiful windswept island gathering food for her family, she secretly befriends Caleb. They learn each other's language and customs, but their friendship is strictly forbidden and must be kept secret. In his efforts to convert him to Christianity, Bethia's father begins tutoring Caleb and is very impressed with his intellectual abilities. He encourages Caleb to go to Harvard along with his son Makepeace, a young man who unfortunately does not have the same aptitude for learning.
At the heart of the novel is the clash between cultures that both Bethia and Caleb experience as well as the limitations put on Bethia, an intelligent young woman of the 17th century with a passion for learning. The doors to Harvard are closed to her but she does finally succeed in her pursuit of knowledge. Working as an indentured servant at Harvard, she manages to listen in on lectures as well as keeping in touch with Caleb as he leaves behind his native culture and crosses over into the world of the English Puritans. The natural beauty of life on the island creates a stark contrast with life in the stifling and physically unhealthy village of early Cambridge.
Brooks' in-depth historical research, her intriguing use of accurate archaic words of the period, combined with her attention to the rich details of everyday existence bring the people and the period to life.

Bluefish fills the niche market between the plain text editors and the full IDE: Bluefish is relatively lightweight and easy to learn, while still providing many features of an integrated development environment to support both programming and the development of websites.
Bluefish uses GTK+ for its GUI widgets.
Bluefish was started by Chris Mazuc and Olivier Sessink in 1997 to facilitate web development professionals on Linux desktop platforms. Bluefish has been developed ever since by a changing group of professional web developers under lead of Olivier Sessink. The project has had different names. The initial name Thtml editor was abandoned for being too cryptic. The following name Prosite was abandoned to avoid clashes with multiple web development companies that used this name in a commercial context in various countries. The name Bluefish was chosen after a logo (a child's drawing of a fish, in blue) was proposed on the mailing list. Since the 1.0 release the original logo was replaced with a new, more polished logo.

Notable New Products for 2011
Author: Trouts Staff
The International Fly Tackle Dealer Show (IFTD) concluded a little over a week ago, and I've been meaning to do some posts on some of the more notable new products that were debuted for 2011. All in all, there are some great new offerings that I am sure all of our customers will be very excited about (I know we were). Be sure and keep in mind that many of these products are available now, so be sure and take note of the "Available Date" field on each product.
F1 Fly Reel
Available Date: November 1, 2010
Price: starts at $425
What We have to Say: Ross has raised the bar in fly reel design with the F1 reel series. It is beautifully machined, has a bomber drag that could stop a freight train (verdict is still out though as to whether this elaborate of a drag is really necessary on a trout reel), and looks about as sexy as a Ferrari. Although this isn't a reel for the masses, those who are looking for the most technologically advanced fly reel will certainly be please with this new offering from Ross. In the end, we say kudos to Ross for coming out with such an exciting new product.
What Ross has to say: After more than two years of design, development and testing, Ross is pleased to introduce the F1TM – a large arbor fly reel series that is destined to revolutionize modern fly reel design. The F1 is a complete departure from conventional thinking and incorporates the most innovative features found in any fly reel today. Inspired by the break system utilized in Formula 1 race cars, the F1 is an integration of carbon fiber and stainless steel; utilizing eight independent contact points to produce the smoothest and most dependable drag system on the market today. Two square inches of carbon fiber drag surface results in unsurpassed stopping power and heat dissipation. The spool fits to a carbon fiber stabilizer which utilizing two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings to provide precision fit and smooth rotation. The F1 employs a Ross original clutch bearing that is fully sealed and enables retrieve conversion without removing the bearing- an industry first! The extensive use of carbon fiber in the drag system, spool stabilizer, handle and spool release provide system strength and rigidity, while reducing overall weight. Ten separate o-rings completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the drag-changing effects of water. The entire system is controlled by a constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical advantage; resulting in uniform drag knob rotation and infinite drag adjustment.
The F1…a fly reel revolution!

"Q. Thoughts of being picked by a team you were a big fan of. MATT DUCHENE: Yeah, every kid of dreams of playing for his boyhood team. It has not sunk in yet. I keep looking down at the logo going are you kidding me, I used to draw this every day at school. This is unbelievable."
Why does this scenario, with some confirmation talk from Avs officials, surprise anyone?
"During the biggest summer of his life - thus far - [Duchene] attended the NHL combine where players get put through physical tests and rigorous interviews with teams' representatives. In those interviews Duchene tried to educate the teams on what kind of person he was because he believes that character is just as important as his on-ice skills. He even made trips to New York, Tampa Bay and Colorado to check out the cities of where he will likely become an NHL star."

Up for consideration is a brand new edition of the Hadyn volume 1 (14 quartets) string quartets. The publisher is Edition Peters. The only problem is that when I originally ordered it, it came with two second violin parts and no first violin part. Their error. They sent me a new set and told me to keep these. These would make a good replacement for your worn out parts or you could contact peters and ask them for an extra first violin part. These are unmarked and unused parts. These sell for $75.00 ...

After decades of service to the Woodbridge School District, it appears Ms. Lois Rotella has resigned, effective immediately, from her position as the Assistant Superintendent of Schools.
Her resignation and the manner in which it was tendered comes as a surprise to many. Certainly, many want to know why Ms. Rotella took this action. Some question if her resignation is in anyway connected to the State's investigation of test scores at certain schools in the District?
Has the State concluded its investigation and, if so, when will the District publish those findings?
Perhaps, few would be surprised to learn the relationship between certain members of the BOE, the Superintendent of Schools and Ms. Rotella was reportedly far from harmonious. If true, might that have been a contributing factor in Ms. Rotella's departure. We may never know.
In closing, I thank Ms. Rotella for her years of service to the School Dictrict and wish her the best in whatever she has planned for the future.

As a futurist and also an automation consultant, I've believed in the power of machines for a long time. I've recently watched a TED talk by Erik Brynjolfsson, The key to growth? Race with the Machines. In this talk Brynjolfsson discusses the fear many have in regards to machines and technology. As the machines take more jobs, many think it's the end of growth, that soon our jobs will be obsolete. He refutes this idea and explains that if we work alongside machines and not against them we can become exponentially more powerful.

A lot has happened this week, and Cimation is here to make sure you're up on the latest headlines with our weekly round-up of Industry News. Learn about the latest tactical mitigation strategies for the Havex Malware threat and the 5 cyber security threats to watch for. Also, find out how recent events and sanctions against Russia are affecting the oil and gas industry. Finally, brush up on the latest automation news and learn how GE brings data insight to other OEMs.
A previous spot report released by Cimation's ICS Threat Intelligence team provided a threat overview of Havex, the malware family being used for targeted attacks against specific industry sectors. What many reports fail to mention is that this malware code has been altered to specifically target ICS/SCADA systems. Cimation's concentrated knowledge of ICS/SCADA systems engineering and security provides a unique perspective on this evolving threat. In this newly-released summary report, Cimation's ICS Threat Intelligence and Vulnerability Research Teams expose the operational-level impact and technical indicators of compromise from this attack.
In this week's Industry News round-up, learn about the latest ICS cyber security training courses released for Cimation University. Find out what economists have to say about the impact Louisiana is having on the energy sector. Also, check out the latest study on security breaches in top critical infrastructure companies.
Today Cimation, an operations consulting company delivering secure technology solutions to the global energy industry, announced their release of a new suite of courses available now at Cimation University. Launched earlier this year, Cimation University is an online training platform providing best-in-class ICS cyber security education to operators, engineers, vendors and consultants interested in protecting critical infrastructure. The four, newly-added courses include: Introduction to Information Technology (IT) Systems, Introduction to ICS/SCADA Systems, ICS/SCADA Security Standards Compliance and Gap Analysis, and SCADA Hacking: Advanced ICS/SCADA Penetration Testing.
After working with clients on their PHMSA CRM Alarm Rationalization programs, it's clear to us that the industry is taking the safety-based goals of this regulatory environment to heart. PHMSA (The US Department of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) regulates Control Room Management (CRM) for gas and hazardous liquid pipelines regulated under 49 CFR Parts 192.631 and 195.446. These regulations address human factors in alarm management. Let's face it, when humans are part of the process, mistakes can occur. The goal of alarm management is to enhance pipeline operations and minimize the potential for human error and its consequences. An effective alarm rationalization program is the key to mitigating risk.
It's America's birthday today, and while we encourage everyone and their families to have a good time, we want to remind you to stay safe out there. Cimation values safety and we believe that you can have a great time while keeping safety top-of-mind! We've put together the top 4 safety tips for this long weekend.

Find out how to stay up to date on the latest threat intel. Also, traveling this weekend? Read up on what you might be paying at the pump this July 4th weekend.
The Cimation Threat Intelligence Team has released a spot report providing a threat overview of the malware family known as Havex. After being tracked this past year by Finnish IT security company, F-Secure, their malware lab has discovered an unsettling change. The malware code has been altered to specifically target ICS/SCADA systems. This variant searches for and harvests data that controls ICS/SCADA systems.
This week has been jam-packed with news and events in the oil and gas sectors, so we've gathered the top stories to get you up to speed before the weekend.

Jane Alcorn, president of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe nonprofit, has been working for years to spread the word on the importance of preserving the history of Nikola Tesla and his Wardenclyffe lab in Shoreham. Even she couldn't imagine how quickly things would take off after finding the right people to help support the cause.
Web comic creator Matt Inman, known as The Oatmeal, considers Tesla one of his heroes. After realizing the Wardenclyffe property has gone up for sale after being cleared by the Department of Conservation, and that Alcorn's group received a matching grant from New York State of up to $850K to purchase the property, he began a fundraiser. It started last week on indiegogo.com, and after just 20 hours they had raised $400K towards their goal of $850K.
"It's been more than we could've expected," Alcorn said. "We weren't sure how much we could raise but never really thought we could get this far. We're delighted that there are so many people out there that understand how important this site is and how important it is to build a science future onto science's past.
"The virality of it is continuing and it's outstanding. We'd been working a long time trying to make people more aware of Tesla, the lab and the importance of saving it. We're really grateful to Matt Inman to bringing this to the public eye in the way that we were unable to do."
With 40 days still remaining, over $730K has already been raised as of Monday afternoon, and Alcorn is hoping to not only reach the goal but exceed that to help further fund the museum project.
"Not only do we need the matching funds but there will be certainly many other costs in this project," she said. "Plus we want to make the site safe and secure, begin the cleanup of the vegetation and the buildings as soon as we could but it's going to take a lot of preparation to do that, and obviously that means money. We'll see how high we can go with this."
Councilwoman Jane Bonner is thrilled at the success of the campaign, and pleased that allowable changes in the Route 25A Land Use Plan would help make this museum possible.
"I think it's a great thing," Bonner said. "The way it's zoned now they could never have a museum on the property, but that would change in the land use plan."
As far as a timetable goes, Bonner said the zone change, which is a recommendation in the plan, would be implemented once the group purchases the property and goes in to build a museum.
The popularity of Tesla and the awareness of the importance of his accomplishments have grown exponentially, evidenced by the rapid pace at which this fundraiser grew. With , Tesla himself, almost 60 years after his death, has gone viral.
"It shows the power of the internet," Alcorn said. "We've learned that you shouldn't give up, because you never know if the next person you reach out to will be the one to make your dream happen."

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and drivers who cross the George Washington Bridge and Fort Lee residents with a view of the bridge can't help but notice.
For the third year running, the necklace lights on the GWB are pink for the entire month thanks to the efforts of Chris Bonanno, an electrician with the Port Authority, whose sister has breast cancer and who took the initiative to start the program.
"He's got all the other electricians involved in it," said Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman of Bonanno, who cut gels and ran tests at his home to make sure it was a safe thing to do. "They do this as part of the routine maintenance on the bridge so there's no additional cost, and he donates some of the gels and the supplies on his own time."
Bonanno, who wears a Port Authority-sanctioned pink hard hat throughout the month of October, said breast cancer "hits home" with a lot of people, and that the idea came to him when GWB electricians were changing the lights to LED to save power and "go green."
"People were asking why are the lights out," Bonanno said. "So I thought to myself, I want them to ask why the lights are pink. I had heard that at some of the other facilities they were doing something for breast cancer awareness; like at JFK, they'd light the towers in pink, so I asked if we could light the necklace pink for breast cancer awareness."
He added, "They asked me to come up with an idea of how, and I came up with a studio film gel that I researched."
Bonanno put in a lot of his own time to come up with a gel that would work, he said, but that putting them up was "a team effort" among the 10 electricians who work at the bridge, with three two-man teams going out on the cables at a time and the rest staying behind and making sure "things remain safe."
"There's 156 lights out on the necklace, and I talked to the guys in the shop; it seems like everybody knows somebody this horrible disease has impacted," Bonanno said, emphasizing that installing the gels is done during routine maintenance. "It takes less than a minute to put the gels on."
He said his goal is to let people know that "they're not alone."
"There are people out there that care," Bonanno said.
Sy Weiss, 82, of Fort Lee, whose wife, Geri, 80, had a double mastectomy in 2005 and is now cancer free, met Bonanno in a Fort Lee coffee shop three years ago and shared their story.
"These are the men who climb the cables in all weather for our benefit," said Weiss, whom Bonanno said he still bumps into from time-to-time before work. "Before October, this year, Chris sees me at Starbucks and has one of the special sheets of pink plastic to cover a bulb. He has with him a marker and asks me to write my wife's name on it."
Bonanno said he put up the gel with Geri Weiss's name on it, along with others.
"I put it out there when we went out on the cables," Bonanno said. "And at the end of the month, I'll give it to him. This is the first year [of putting names on the gels]. I did like 46 names of people that work at the GWB or who know people going through this."
