nRF51822 Evaluation Kit (nRF51822-EK)
The evaluation kits gives you the lowest cost entry point to development with the nRF51822.
The kit operates stand alone, and is based around a small module with headers for all IO pins, 2 buttons, 2 LED's as well as a built in Segger on board programming and debugging over USB solution. This board is accompanied by an USB dongle with identical except for access to I/O pins. This board can act as wireless peer device or it can act as a very small Software development platform in itself. The kit also contains 5 IC samples. The evaluation kit is supported by pre-qualified Bluetooth low energy stacks offered as SoftDevices as well as (limited) library and code example support in the nRF51 Software Development kit supporting all nRF51 series devices.
Please note that progamming and debugging functionality on the evaluation kit is limited to the devices in the kit itself. To be able to program and debug on your own hardware, you will need a standalone programmer/debugger (Jlink lite or Jlink Pro) which are included in the nRF51822 Development Kit as well as available for purchase on www.segger.com
For more details and product related downloads, go to the nRF51822 Evaluation Kit page.
nRF51822 Development Kit (nRF51822-DK)
The nRF51822 development kit is nRFgo compatible and enables you to do more advanced development especially when integrating with external circuitry. The development kit provides you nRFgo compatible modules with PCB antennas as well as SMA connetors for RF measurements, USB dongles to act as peer devices and a stand alone segger Jlink Lite programmer and debugger that enables programming/debugging on the nRFgo modules as well as on your own protoype/engineering hardware.
The development kits are supported by pre-qualified Bluetooth low energy stacks available as SoftDevices and an extencive library and code example support in the nRF51 Software Development Kit supporting all the devices in the nRF51 series.
For more details and product related downloads, go to the nRF51822 Development Kit page.
The base for the nRFgo development platform is a starter kit which contains 2 nRFgo motherboards as well as all necessary patch and USB cables for more advanced prototyping. The nRFgo mother board is a large and stable platform which gives you access to all I/O pins, 8 buttons and LED's as well as a large extension module socket that maps all the I/O pins of the nRFgo development kit modules that plugs into the nRFgo motherboard. The nRFgo development kits enables you to program the nRFgo modules themselves or your own engineering samples either through the nRFgo motherboard itself or included stand alone programmers/debuggers.
The advantage of the nRFgo development platform is that it can be used accross all nrF51 series devices as well as older (nRF24L and nRF8000) series of nRF devices. If you have used other nRF devices there is no need to replace the nRFgo starter kit and even if you are new to nRF devices but plan to use different variants nRFgo gives you a common HW platform to work on accross your products.nRFgo mother board is complimented by a nRFgo studio a PC program enabling you to control and program a number of attached nRFgo kits, run various tests and control supply level to the development kits.
For more details please download the nRF51822 starter kit user guide. (this will require that we put the user guide out separately, not as part of the installer as today) (this link requires mypage login, if you don't already have a mypage account, choose 'new user' and follow the instructions)
The nRF51 series are supported by an extensive offering of Software. By using nRF51 devices you get free access to pre-qualified Bluetooth low energy as well as ANT protocol stacks for use in your nRF51 applications. The wireless protocol stacks are paired with the nRF51 Software Development Kit (SDK) which forms a common code base for all devices in the nRF51 series.
A SoftDevice is precompiled and linked binary software implementing a wireless protocol. While it is software, application developers have minimal compile-time dependence on its features. The unique hardware and software supported framework, in which it executes, provides run-time isolation and determinism in its behavior. These characteristics make the interface comparable to a hardware peripheral abstraction with a functional, programmatic interface.
The SoftDevice Application Program Interface (API) is available to applications as a high-level programming language interface, for example, a C header file.
Please refer to Appendix A in the nRF51 reference manual for more details. SoftDevices are either available as downloads (Bluetooth low Energy) or preprogrammed in nRF51 devices (ANT).
nRF51 Series Software Development Kit
The nRF51 Software Development kit (SDK) offers you C source code containing Bluetooth low energy and ANT+ device profiles, wireless communication as well as application examples, Nordic Semiconductors proprietary 2.4 GHz stack for human interface devices (Gazell) as well as libraries for all the peripherals found on the nRF51 series SoCs. The nRF51 SDK is built on the ARM® CMSIS standard and supports the following SW development tool chains:
- Keil MDK-ARM
- IAR Embedded Workbench
Since all nRF51 devices are code comaptible accross Bluetooth low energy, ANT and 2.4GHz, the common application and peripehal sections of the nRF51 SDK enables you to develop and maintain a common code base across the three technologies as well as different nRF51 devices.
Development toolchains
Keil MDK
The Keil MDK-ARM is a complete software development environment for Cortex™-M, Cortex-R4, ARM7™ and ARM9™ processor-based devices. MDK-ARM is specifically designed for microcontroller applications, it is easy to learn and use, yet powerful enough for the most demanding embedded applications.
MDK-ARM is available in four editions: MDK-Lite, MDK-Cortex-M, MDK-Standard, and MDK-Professional. All editions provide a complete C/C++ development environment and MDK-Professional includes extensive middleware libraries. http://www.keil.com/arm/mdk.asp
IAR Embedded Workbench
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is an easy-to-use integrated development environment with project management tools and editor. It includes a highly optimizing C/C++ compiler and the comprehensive C-SPY Debugger with simulator and hardware debugging support. Its innovative Power Debugging technology enables testing and tuning for power optimization. Detailed information and free evaluation licenses are available at www.iar.com/ewarm
nRF Sniffer
The Nordic nRF Sniffer is an application for viewing Bluetooth low energy communication between 2 Nordic devices using Bluetooth low energy. nRF Sniffer is a useful tool for learning about, and debugging Bluetooth low energy applications and allows for near real-time display of Bluetooth low energy packets and helps identification and fixing of issues by allowing developers to see what is happening on-air. Additionally, this application allows you to save nRF Sniffer capture files of your application's Bluetooth low energy link which can be sent to Nordic Technical Support allowing for faster resolution of issues by our support engineers.
nRF Sniffer is supported by Nordic's nRF51822 Development and Evaluation kits. The nRF Sniffer application together with Wireshark, a free, open-source protocol analyzer provides a powerful and cost-effective means to analyze Bluetooth low energy communication traffic and eventsbetween Nordic devices during the development cycle. there are 4 components required to use nRF Sniffer for your Bluetooth low energy development. The first 3 are available from Nordic Semiconductor as downloads. The Wireshark application is available from wireshark.org
- nRF Sniffer firmware for nRF51822
- nRF51822 Development or Evaluation kit
- nRF Sniffer PC software (Windows 7 or later)
- Wireshark protocol analyzer application (Windows 7 or later)
The nRF Sniffer application comes as pre-compiled firmware. This application is not a replacement for professional grade Bluetooth low energy protocol analyzers, and as such the same level of functionality or stability should not be expected. However nRF Sniffer represents a very useful tool to assist developers in Bluetooth low energy development at a minimal level cost.

fuel guage reads full all the time.
I have an 06 Tahoe I replaced the fuel pump last summer. For x-mas my wife had a remote starter installed, wich I love by the way. Last month I would get Check tire pressure on dash and each tire would show 0 on the screen until the truck would warm up. Now my fuel guage goes right to full when I start it. The driver info. monitor reads range of around 288 miles. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Personal Information
Personal Bio
I'm Rosanna, Rosie or whatever crazy nickname you'd like to come up with yourself. Music, gaming and circus skills (juggling, poi etc) are my main loves. When I'm not practising the latter for the circus company I co-run, I watch films, anime + documentaries, play video games, nerd out with my friends, read books/manga, go to gigs, festivals, conventions and stand up comedy.
Cosplay Bio
I got started in the world of cosplay in October 2009 when I attended my first London Expo with my brother 1337Pete and college friend as TF2 characters (I was the Scout). Though it has only been 4 years, I feel I have learnt quite a bit and like everyone, continue to learn with each costume. The source media is not new to me, though; I have been watching anime since I was a child when I fell in love with The Moomins. I was then reintroduced to anime when I received Spirited Away for Christmas circa 2006/2007 and had frequent chats (and DVD swops) with my RE teacher about Studio Ghibli (!!)
I continue to cosplay with Pete, but now our childhood friend cosplaymatt1 joins us too :D Probably one of my proudest moments so far was the positive feedback Matt and I received on our chain scythe for Black Star and Tsubaki. It was our first prop and we learnt so much from it.
All three of us love the idea of it all; how you use materials to become that chosen character for the day and are treated in that sense. When you are on the ExCel perimeter, people don't bat an eyelid at cosplayers as it is encouraged so much, however as soon as you go outside, it's the opposite! On top of all that, by going to cons in cosplay you get to meet fans of the same series as you. What's not to love?
I tend to do characters I like from the media they come from, especially if they are gregarious/enigmatic/smiley/happy-go-lucky as that is my nature irl. However, I'm always up for doing chars outside of this type and from shows etc I do not know. I will go out of my way to watch or play said thing (when possible) to familiarise myself with them and understand their context.
As it stands, my favourite costumes (on me, enjoyment and aesthetically) are Yuffie and Faye.
Have been thinking it would be great for my bro and I to do a hardcore/epic cosplay for May Expo 2014 as it'll be our tenth time :O

I would like to introduce my unique line of 100% pure, raw beeswax candles.
I design and produce my candles, starting from the beginning by cleaning the raw wax and making the individual molds. My prototype candles are inspired by nature and by the bees that create the wax.
Because each candle is hand-poured, and because beeswax reflects every subtle change in its environment due to differences in the type of pollen, nectar and harvesting conditions, every candle is unique and one-of-a-kind.
With trimmed, lead-free cotton wicks, these candles are smokeless, offering a clean and sustainable alternative to widely available paraffin-based candles, which release toxins into the air while burning.
The plant-based pigments I use to color the wax give my candles a natural looking palette, creating no odor aside from the aroma of heavenly honey! Beeswax candles burn almost twice as long as parrafin candles, adding value beyond their beauty and healthful qualities.
To purchase Bee Happy Candles, visit my online candle store. If you are interested in wholesale purchase, please go to the wholesale page.
Thank you,

Rated 2.8 out of 5 by 4
Rated 3 out of 5 by jgro collar
Bought this for my lab/golden mix, she is my companion while scouting and post season shed hunting. The collar tends to turn purple tint when and after being wet, also it stretched a lil over time causing it to have weak spot. Overall a decent looking, collar unless it will be put to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SpanielMom Great buy
I bought this this color a year ago for my spaniel and it's held up great. He loves running through brush, swimming, things that are generally pretty hard on collars. My only issue was that it didn't come in the correct size for him so we had to trim it down and add a hole. It also tends to hold odor, it took a few washes to get rid of the reminder of our skunk incident. For the price this is a great buy.
This IS a Remington product. It's stamped with the name.

Feed a Rescued Infant Chimpanzee for a Week
Help a rescued chimpanzee return to the wild!
Each year in Africa, thousands of chimpanzees are killed by poachers for the illegal "bush meat" trade. Orphaned baby chimps, not desired for their meat, are then captured and sent, under frightening and dangerous conditions, to either end up as a roadside attraction or to be sold as a pet.
Rescued from the pet trade yet unable to survive in the wild, many of these fragile creatures find a safe haven at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in the Ugandan waters of eastern Africa's massive Lake Victoria. There they are able to recover from their captivity, socialize with other rescued chimpanzees, and learn new skills, with the ultimate goal of being re-introduced to the wild.
Your donation through this Gift That Gives More™ helps care for these beautiful rescued animals! $21.00 provides a week's worth of nutritious foods for an infant chimp separated from its mother.
In addition to giving rescued chimpanzees a safe home and ensuring their welfare, the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary provides a low-human impact environment on Ngamba Island, a high-quality educational experience for visitors, and benefits the island's local communities.

There is a lot more to the life of a K-9 police dog than sniffing out drug stashes and scaring the wits out of bad guys.
The Cedaredge Police Department's K-9 officer, Buddy, has proven his worth in crime fighting and peace keeping time and time again.
But Buddy's professional skills go far beyond normal duty operations with a talent unexcelled in creating positive community relations.
Buddy, and his partner, Sgt. Dan Sanders, staged a presentation on safety and other topics for over a dozen local pre-schoolers and their parents at the Cedaredge Public Library on April 11.
With Buddy's help, the kids stayed entertained and relatively attentive for almost an hour while Sanders explained some basics of safe living: safe swimming; save vehicle travel; and staying safe around unfamiliar dogs that look friendly but which may not be.
The right way to make a new canine acquaintance, after its owner has confirmed the dog isn't a bite threat, is to extend a hand towards the dog's muzzle with the wrist limp and the back of the hand showing towards the dog.
As for Buddy, there's not a friendlier dog around for the youngsters to practice their newly-learned pet-approach skills on. All the youngsters got a chance to get up close and personal with Buddy at the end of the session.
Who says learning's not fun?

"We are grateful that the attorney general continues to be concerned about the safety of women," said Jeremiah Dys, president of the Family Policy Council. "It is clearly more important than the abortionists' bottom-line profits."
Dys also took issue with Women's Health Center's response to Morrisey's review.
"It is shocking to see that, despite serious allegations against them, Women's Health Center of West Virginia believes what they did to Itai could possibly be called quality medical services," Dys said. "Whatever regulations Women's Health Center thinks are currently on the books - and we believe there are none - Dr. Stephens and Women's Health Center exposed Itai to extraordinary pain and suffering and placed her life in danger."
Morrisey has said he has the authority to review abortion regulations because he's "West Virginia's chief legal officer...charged with overseeing state legal policy and protecting the public interest."
In his June 17 letter to the abortion clinics, Morrisey asked for specifics about their abortion procedures and "informed consent" practices. The questions included:
Morrisey has said that no state agencies inspect or regulate abortion clinics in West Virginia.
Women's health advocates have countered that doctors, nurses and physicians assistants who work at the clinics must be licensed and report to state medical professional boards.
"Without a doubt, we must be clear that these women's health providers are regulated as any other health-care facility of their type under state and federal laws and regulations," Chapman Pomponio said Tuesday.
Morrisey's recent actions mirror those of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has supported bills to curb abortions by licensing and regulating abortion clinics. Cuccinelli spoke at a Morrisey campaign event last year.
"We would like to remind Mr. Morrisey that West Virginians are different from our neighbors in Virginia where his role model, Attorney General Cuccinelli, led a similar crusade against women's health providers," Chapman Pomponio said. "In West Virginia, we value a woman's health over politics, and we reject this type of government overstep into medicine."

Just saw on the news here that there has been a blaze at the Mariinski warehouse for scenery and costumes. The entire building was in flames and it could be assumed that nothing could be saved. I do pity the company, they are really struggling economically now - how about insurance in a country like that - another
nail in the coffin of a wonderful company. Hope it will be sorted out somehow and some generous nation will help. Wouldnt be surprised if it was arson.

Advice needed for a new rifle scope
I realize that the question I am about to ask is going to be a bit like throwing a bone to a pack of hungry dogs.
In the latest issue of Safari Times, Craig Boddington had an article titled "How Much Gun Is Really Enough?". It's a very good article (aren't his always?). If you haven't seen it, here is a link:
How Much Gun is Really Enough? | Hunt Forever
At the end of the article, he recommends a low power scope with a lighted reticle. I am about to buy 375 H&H (most likely a Winchester Model 70) and will want/need a scope for it. The top contenders seem to be Swarovsky and Trijicon. Leupold has a good reputation overall, but I have heard some negative things about them in low light situations. I have ruled out Burris for the same reason (but with personal experience to support that decision).
What brand/model/power would you recommend for a DG hunt (buffalo or lion)?
Is an illuminated reticle legal across Africa or are there countries that don't allow them?

Hunted with Thwane Safaris for buffalo. Used a 375HH made by Kenny Jarrett with a Swaro 1.7 x 10 illuminated.
Buffalo dropped with one shot.

Both my buff taken with the .375 also wore low power scopes of 1.5-2.5X. I think a good fixed 4X may be about ideal though or a low variable, about 1.5-5 or so. About anything up to a 3-9X is appropriate for a .375 rifle depending on shooter wants and likely hunting terrain.

Hi Mtgoat,
Zeiss,Swarovski and Leica are without the leaders of the twilight hunting scopes. That is why they are the preffered scope in Europe where boarhunting is done at night with twilight and moonlight. Question being though: do you specifically use the gun/ scope for Africa? Since there the sun acts as a lightswitch most of the time. It is either day or night.
Have a good trip
Yes, I will probably only use this gun for Africa. I pretty well equipped for any game in North America. I might take the .375 if I were to go for brown bear in Alaska, but, at this moment, I don't have much interest in doing that. I lean toward just using this gun in Africa and only for DG. I know that some argue for using a .375 for plains game as well as DG. However, that just seems a bit much (except possibly for eland or roan).
The two DG that I am most likely to hunt near-term are buffalo and lion. Leopard is also appealing but the odds are pretty low. I don't see me hunting elephant, rhino, hippo or croc.

By no means am I an expert. After 3 trips to Africa I have became more and more a one rifle hunter (375 H&H). In regard to the scope I prefer something with more top end say 9-12 power. It is sometimes helpful in the leopard blind as well as making a difference on the small antelope often shot with solid bullets. The swaro Z6i allows you to have the low power in the bush as well as the high magnification for the tiny ten. Just a thought. Whatever you choose have fun and enjoy yourself

Personally, I would use a 1-4x variable scope or something else with a relatively low magnification. On my buffalo hunt, I used a fixed 4x scope and that worked great for my buffalo. However, my father wounded a buffalo that I helped follow up in thick cover and the scope was completely inadequate for that situation. If a 4x scope was bad, it would have been horrible trying to acquire a buffalo in a scope that accidentally got turned up to 9x.
What works well on plains game is not always what you want for a quick shot at a moving target at close range. Just my 2 cents...http://www.thebiggamehuntingblog.com/
The most terrifying sound in nature is not the roar of a charging lion, nor the whistle of a descending bomb; rather it is a click when you expect a bang.

I have a Swarovski and a bunch of Leupolds. I've never used a Trijicon. What I use the most are the Leupold Mark 4 models some of which have lighted reticles. I don't think my Swarovski is any better at night than my Leuoplds. Even without a lighted reticle, I could make a 300 yard shot to at least an hour after the sun went down and with a lighted reticle I have made similar shots in the middle of the night.
The new Leica Magnus 1.5-10x42 would be ideal, has low bottom end for up close and personal and 10x for longer shots as well as illumination.
As far as i am aware illumination is not illegal anywhere, the tritium powered ones can be restricted.Overkill is underrated...

I recently shot a buffalo in Zim - the scope I used is a Zeiss Duralyte in 2-8x42 on a lever rifle in .375 Ruger. Great optics and not a wallet-buster. That lighted reticle allowed me to put every bullet where I wanted it to go. A versatile scope b/c you can use higher magnification for farther shots and a great bell size for light gathering.

My Win70 SE wears a 2-7x33 Leupold. In fact all my rifles wear Leupold scopes. I have never had any quality issues with them in 23 years of using their products. No questions about warranty/ or repairs. A mate of mine "dropped" his Win70 in 300WSM down the side of a Mountain in New Zealand when he slipped on ice during a Tar hunt. Surprisingly only a few chips in the stock and a bit of bluing scratched off the action and barrel, the Leupold 3-9x40 copped the full brunt of the tumble. He had it in QD mounts, removed it and continued the hunt with the williams fire sights fitted to the barrel. He sent the scope back to the factory for repair and was sent back a new one- no questions asked only had to pay freight.
Don't forget that Boddington and some other celebratory PH's are paid royalties for their comments, or are sponsored directly for advertising a particular product. Leupold scopes also have a longer eye relief than other makes so they can be mounted a little further forward reducing any possibility of "Weatherby Eyebrow".
If you are that concerned about seeing in low light why not just fit a Williams Fire Sight front post and Williams Ghost Ring Rear? In a recent Zimbabwe Safari we weren't allowed to shoot anything in early morning or late evening until there was sufficient light to see the animal with the naked eye, so it wouldn't have mattered what type of scope you had.

Re: my lever rifle , BLR, in .375 Ruger. I bought a take-down in .300 Win. mag. & had my (very competent) gunsmith put on a shilen barrel. Wild West Guns in Anchorage AK does the same, BLRS in .375 or .416 Ruger are about $2,500. They are just plain cool.
That is going to vary with the outfitter and the game being pursued. For example, if you are hunting leopard, even in Namibia where night hunting isn't allowed, odds are that you will want every extra photon that your scope can gather. Similarly, imagine tracking an animal shot and wounded in full light, and finally located in heavy cover as the clock ticks toward the last couple minutes of legal shooting time.
In North America, early and late shooting is common. A few years ago, I had to pass up a nice bull elk because my Burris scope didn't have the light gathering capability like my Swarovsky binoculars did. I could see the bull with my binoculars but not through the scope. That was frustrating!
I was impressed by the recommendation by Spudattack of the Leica Magnus. That led me to do some more searching and I found that Swarovsky has something similar. These seem like good possibilities. Very low magnification for close shooting but a reasonable high end (10x) that is sufficient for the distances that I'm comfortable with.

Swarovski and Zeiss are hard to beat, and personally I've always had good luck with Leupold. The Winchesters need a scope with quite a bit of space between the eye box and the objective bell, something to take into account, when spanning that longer action of those rifles.
For DG hunting I prefer something with 1-2 power on the low end and 6-8 on the high end.
The swaro in 1.5-6 is just about the perfect scope for anything, low power in the thick and enough magnification to make definitive shots even at distance.
My DG guns run the gamut of scopes.
Swaro 1.5-6
Leupold VXIII 1.5-5
Leupold VXIII 2.5-8
Zeiss Diavari1.5-6
Leupold VXII 2-7
Nikon African 1-4
All have been excellent scopes. The lit reticle is a non issue for me, that's personal preference. I have used them but i have never found it necessary except for leopard at very last light.
As a side note I would see how the Leica scopes perform before I spent my $$ on them, their last foray into the scope market did not go well. Previous scopes were not produced by them and were not very good at all, the new line is also produced by another optic company.James Jeffrey

Bump and Grind Trail Debate Gets Heated
Angela Monroe
Desert hikers take on the endangered bighorn sheep as the debate on whether to close part of a hiking trail that may disturb the protected species gets heated.
It's shaping up to be the battle of the bighorn sheep versus hikers. Who gets the trail? Over 100 hikers and residents showed up to say what they thought of the last half mile of the Bump and Grind Trail closing.
"Show some respect," said a Palm Desert Councilwoman after the crowd started shouting.
From angry words...
"All of these places are slowly being taken away in the name of the sheep!"
To cheers...
"What else are you going to take from us?" The crowed cheered.
To some boos...
It was a heated night at Palm Desert City Hall.
"I'm amazed we're talking about a half a mile, it appears this is more about winning than hiking," said one speaker.
Another resident said, "I think everyone here loves bighorn sheep, stake my life on it. All we want is definitive proof that we are killing the sheep in some way,"
California Fish and Game says that proof is out there.
"In the recovery plan there are numerous studies sited that provide several of the references for that, that talk about how humans will cause sheep to abandon areas, will cause sheep to become more skittish," said Fish and Game Regional Manager, Kim Nicol.
But some hikers say Fish and Game has made false statements about lambing areas, and water springs.
"It bothered me that the State of California might be lying about the closure and so we started digging and digging and digging and sure enough we found all these inconsistencies, so the passion came from not being told the truth by the state of California," said Bermuda Dunes resident, Blaine Carian.
But other hikers disagree.
"I've been on the trail, I've seen sheep three seperate times, I've used the trail for many years. For me I'm an animal lover, bighorn sheep, dogs, horses, bears, doesn't matter. And I just feel like you don't really need a study to know that 400 people a day affect a mother and her baby," said Sky Valley resident, Julie Casserly.
We asked Assemblymember Brian Nestande if he thought this meeting could actually change anything.
"I hope so, because it's important I think for the Department of Fish and Game that a lot of folks that live here, that use that trail are very upset that they are closing that last little portion of it," said Nestande.
A seperate study was to be done to see if hikers did impact the bighorn sheep. But officials say there is no money for it right now.
Assemblymember Nestande hopes to get that study done.

Maple Lane RV Park & Marina
[ 9/10 ]
The park is very clean and quiet. Easy access into the park. Trees are trimmed high enough as not to do damage to your rig. Park is in the process of installing cable TV at no extra cost. This park also has a dock with a security gate for $10.00 per day to moor your boat. We were able to buy groceries at the market up the street and the little town of Mapleton has a gas station with a deli.

Like you, I usually sleep in on Saturdays, but I had the same thought this morning. Ended up enjoying my coffee outside as it is a lovely Spring day, did a bit of reading and then took my dog for an extra long walk followed by a bit of weeding in the garden. Planning to do some painting and then make a new recipe tonight, so headed to the market soon. It is indeed thrilling to have some unscheduled time! Thanks for your post.

Today is my second Saturday off in a month! I'm being spoiled :P
Well, I really only get the first half of a Saturday off because my second job is a night job D: but I'm sick so therefore I get to spend my Saturday watching bad British TV and slobbing in my PJS!
Although, I was up at 11:30 (rather early for me!) and spent the morning sorting through my closet and dressers; giving the old and never worn to charity ready to make room for the new on payday! Hurray! - 22 March 2009 5:19 am

Could you be the next pope? A list of what it will take
The pope will be the head of the world's largest empire in history.
We know you want to be pope, who doesn't? You get your own little country to govern, you get the ruby shoes, and of course there's the popemobile, which is a one-of-a-kind ride. You have servants and secretaries galore and everything you say is carefully considered. Who wouldn't want that?
That's right, the pope is the world's greatest emperor, ruling over the world's largest empire - ever.
With over 1.2 billion Catholics on the planet, and faithful in every county, the pope cannot be an ordinary man. The work is crushing and the responsibility is overwhelming. What more proof do you need that God exists than to see one, typically elderly man, is actually able to manage such an empire himself?
In all world history, no individual has ever been responsible for so much. That's why the selection of the pope is such a grave matter. The pope is an absolute monarch in an age of republics and tyrants. He must be a moral man, faithful to his very core. His every syllable will be recorded and studied for generations. It's a tough job, which is why the Cardinals of the Church pray so mightily for God's guidance, so they might select the one man on a planet of seven billion souls, who can shoulder the responsibility.
How exceptional must this man's resume be? Here's a list:
He must be the world's greatest manager, ever.
A pope is many things, including a CEO. Under his direct supervision are several other heads of major worldwide corporations, archdiocese, religious orders, and semi-secular institutions such as the Vatican bank. The pope must work with each archbishop and director, must know them personally, and must coordinate and direct their efforts for the betterment of the Church. It's not an easy task.
How hard is it? Imagine how hard it is to get your family to agree on what's for dinner, or to get your friends to agree on the best sports team. Now imagine directing dozens to hundreds of people to agree on matters that affect the eternal souls of all human beings. Yes, it's like that.
He must be charismatic.
People want to follow a man with charisma. Indeed, at this time, the Church needs stronger leadership than usual. The next pope will need to have charisma and will have to be more than an iron-fisted emperor. Instead, he will need to motivate and inspire reform and development within even the highest ranks of the Church. That he must also be popular with the people is obvious.
He must be able to communicate.
Communication means speaking clearly, conveying thoughts and ideas so they are easily understood and can be acted upon. This is a standard requirement for any leader, from powder-puff football captain to pope. However, to be the pope, that quality alone is still not enough. To be pope you must also be able to communicate clearly in multiple languages.
Not one, not two, but multiple. Plus Latin. English, Spanish , and Italian are the primary languages expected for a pope, as well as Latin. Any papal contender should have these four languages down. Beyond that, it's value added. Pope Emeritus Benedict speaks, his native German as well as, English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Latin. He also knows some Portuguese and can read ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew.
This goes to show that it's not enough to be a smooth talker at home. You also have to speak effectively around the globe.
He must be an evangelist.
The heart of a good religious leader is his ability to gather in the flock. It's more than speaking clearly. It's also telling a story that is so compelling that people will be inspired to act. With the Catholic Church facing tribulation both within and without, the winning of new souls and the retention of the old is a serious challenge. People need to hear good and encouraging news if they are to follow as they should.
This means the next pope cannot be camera shy, nor can he be a cloistered theologian. The next pope will be expected to behave almost as a rockstar at times, presenting himself to the faithful, and particularly the youth, in a way that resonates with the crowd. A pope who is aloof, who cannot work the crowd, will be quickly downplayed as the faithful lose interest. The ability to evangelize then, is an important quality.
The next pope must be a man of integrity.
What good times we enjoy to feel that integrity is implicit in any leadership position. It hasn't always been the case, even with the popes. Unfortunately, recent scandals have caused many Catholics to question the integrity of the Church's hierarchy.
It will be up to the next pope to lay those concerns to rest. The people must trust their Holy Father to clean up any scandal within the Church and to ensure that scandals do not repeat. There will need to be transparency, a break from the traditional veil of secrecy that until now has been an inherent part of Church culture.
The next pope will need to clean up the Church from the top down, removing poor and failed leaders, and replacing them with good, honest servants of God. People are expecting some spring cleaning within the Church. A fearless man of integrity at the helm will inspire millions to renew their faith, troubled by recent scandals.
The next pope must be able to connect with the people in the streets.
It's well and good for popes to be theologians and brilliant leaders, but at the end of the day, all their work is to serve the common individual. The parishioner in the pew, the man in the street, the sick in bed, and the downtrodden and destitute in the house of charity.
The next pope must be able to connect with these people much as he can connect with his cardinals and archbishops. The conversations will be different. He must be able to speak plainly, comprehensibly, and on topics that matter to the individual.
If the next pope can connect with the parishioners on the street, then he will go a long way to building a lifelong rapport between the Church and the believer. Ultimately, this may be the most fundamental criteria of all. Although he directs from Rome, the point of every decision is to do what's best for the flock.
Now are you ready to start? You have a busy first day already lined up.
Some of the cardinals have been leaking some inside perspective on what they're looking for. You can read about that here.

I want to talk about my faith. i want to be fair when i say it but i've been well, walking in the wrong direction for one. and explaining myself isn't a good tickle for a conversation is it? I've been attending the same college for the last couple months, talking to keep up in the college life, but mostly just trying to get along. Had a gf for a while but that didn't work out :( I didn't join the sports team so that might be why she left. They say girls don't like players... But the one at the plate, hits the ball for his fans while the one who caught it has his bride right there too.
It's almost unimaginable to think that i've gone to church every Sunday and yet I don't know more than 3 of my prayers. Leaving me with a sort of empty feeling that sickens even my favorite mornings- Mondays. Plus the other 6 days left in the week by the end of the week there is alot to look forward to. Right down the the late nights staying up late figuring out math equations to the point i'm left with a half glass of Tea at 2 in the morning. A friend told me it'll get better, that's good to know :)

C21 Online Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is a C21 Online course conducted?
The experience takes place entirely online. It is asynchronous, i.e., there are no requirements to appear online at a certain time. You will have access to the course web site 24 hours a day/7 days a week during the dates the course is open.
After you have registered, we will provide you with a username and a password that will give you access to the web site. The web site will open one week before the course begins. Once you have access to the web site, you may explore the site intuitively or use the Orientation module to help you learn to navigate the site. You will be assigned to a "Community for Conversation," an online discussion group of up to 25 persons. It is our expectation that a group this size will create a lively but manageable conversation. Each Community will have its own facilitator to guide discussion. In addition, all participants will have access to a general discussion forum called "Town Meeting."
Each week of the course we will read and discuss a common assignment. The weekly readings may be available on the web site or you may be asked to purchase or obtain additional reading material. A schedule, which will be available at the beginning of the course, will list the weekly reading and provide links to any media such as a video that may be assigned that week. Every week (usually Wednesday) we will open a new forum for your Community for Conversation. There will always be a Notebook section that will pose focus on questions for discussion for each week. We will dialogue about the week's material with the other participants in our Community for Conversation.
Will I need to buy any special materials?
Depending on the course, you may be asked to purchase a book that will be discussed in the course. If you need to purchase a book, you will be given the title, author, and other pertinent information. Most people use a local bookstore or their favorite online bookstore to acquire the book.
How much time will the course take each week?
We recommend that you plan on 3-4 hours a week. This includes time to read assignments, view assigned video (as applicable), time to prepare and post your reflections and comments in the Community for Conversation, as well as the time to read the postings of others.
What are the expectations for participants?
Every week of the course, we expect you to do the readings and, when applicable, view the video. We hope you use the week for reflection on the topic presented, and we expect you to discuss the focus questions with other participants in your Community for Conversation by posting your thoughts on one or more of the questions and responding to theirs. The heart of the course is in the discussion with the other participants.
We expect that each participant will respond with respect to others in their Community for Conversation. What each participant shares in the conversation will be kept within the group. We expect that you will not copy and forward another person's posts without their permission.
A complete list of expectations will be included in the course notes for the first week.
When will I receive my Certificate of Active Participation? Each active participant will receive a certificate of completion. "Active participation" is defined as posting three messages of substance for each week a course or workshop is in session. Your certificate will automatically be sent to you via U.S. mail within a month after the course site has closed. If a month has elapsed and you have not received a certificate, please send an inquiry to the C21 Online staff at email@example.com. Inquiries about certificates need to be made within two months of completion of the course.
What are the minimum computer requirements in order to access the web site?
Check out specifics here.
If you have any questions, contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Is there a suggested web browser that I should use for C21 Online courses?
We recommend that our participants use Mozilla Firefox as their internet browser during the duration of the course. If you do not have Mozilla Firefox on your computer, you can download it for free here.
Do I need any special software?
No, you do not need any special software. The website is designed on WebCT which is accessible through the browser that you use for Internet access. Check the above question for specifics about the browser.
Is it possible to earn Continuing Education Units (CEU) or Professional Development Hours (PDH) for a C21 Online course?
C21 Online does not give CEU or PDH units. We do offer a Certificate of Active Participation for those who post at least three messages of substance each week. On that certificate we state the number of contact hours that each course or workshop has involved.
What is Blackboard Vista?
Blackboard Vista (BbVista) is a web-based application used to make and host course web sites. C21 Online courses and workshops use this application.
When can I register for a course?
Course registration closes on Friday at 3p.m. the week before the course site opens. Registration may close earlier if the course has been filled to capacity. Otherwise, you can register at any time.
