Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Pastors and leaders of the ancient church interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise. But in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century. In this addition to the series, Douglas Harink offers an insightful theological exegesis of 1 & 2 Peter that will be of use to professors and students in New Testament, the Epistles of Peter, and theological interpretation courses, as well as pastors, church leaders, and libraries.
The combined set for the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible is also available here.

We have a wide range of turn signals and marker light.

I got these as a replacement because my stock lights are big and ugly. However; do not overtighten them or you will pull out the threaded inserts. They just thread into plastic. If you need cheap lights these work good, but be careful with the install.

Its' free and it takes less than 1 minute!
Wow, these are gorgeous!!
I guess they're not really really quick sketches but that isn't a bad thing I think. And I think that 15 and 10 minutes is still quite quick!
If you want to sketch more quickly it might be a good idea to draw just lines of the most important things and the main (darkest) shadow. But don't get discouraged ^^ I completely love these studies.
Just experiment with different ways of sketching and you might find that for you some are more appropriate for longer sketching and some are more appropriate for quick sketches..
P.S. haha, nice new title for your sketchbook! ^_^

@ Noë: Tnx When I find the time for more sketches (more line based sketches) I'll use a more permanent medium (like markers, ballpoints?).
I think that might be helpfull here. (blah english... -_-' ... it's way too early for that)
Oke, new update .
The first sketch is quite weird. There was nothing to draw in the train, so I tried to visualize myself sitting as I sat there. As if I was someone in front of me, looking at myself (like a mirror that wasn't actually there).
It was hard, but I like it anyway.
The ballpoint things are classmates (done in 4 min. I guess).
Third one is a photo of the still life composition we had to paint in 2D-class. It has to be in some way abstract, and I don't really like the way they want you to do that at my school.
4; My interpretation of the still life
5; The teacher didn't like it so he gave me some paper; 'paste this with your eyes closed somewhere in your work'.
6; I tried to paint over the paper pieces, but then he decided there wasn't enough paper in it. I had te paste more with my eyes closed...
7; I painted over the paper, but had to rip (?) it off again (again; the teacher told me that).
8; The result after 3 hours of trying to safe this crap thing. I hated to work this way. I think the problem was that I tried to make something the teacher would like. Not something I like myself.
9/10/11: process of 'Wytches Brew' song component (from mind).
12; Waterhouse study (tried to sketch in different way that I used to draw/sketch)
13; Waterhouse study, eye from mirror, girl from ref.

the last sketches are very nice, especially the sleeping pose (10 mins), captured very beautifully. Did u use white chalk or pastels?
Very nice paintings,
Like the guitar on Pg 2 very much.
I'm keeping an eye on this thread
the last two B&W drawings are sweet, but don''t forget to do those anatomy studies. You need to work more on proportions and line quality.
Good luck and keep it up
Hamorhage: Tnx I use soft white colourpencil.
Amilian: Tnx
zelda_geek: Tnx . I know I have to do more anatomy studies, but I'm also very busy with school (oke.. the last two things in previous update aren't school things ) right now .
Btw: I did some sketches at the bottom of 3rd page .
When I browse through other SB's on CA, I see in every thread several anatomy studies. I guess non-nude anatomy studies are oke too?
Well, I did some handstudies this afternoon (real life). And the dance poses are from pictures of me while dancing at Wytches Brew (yes, again another part of the 'Wytches brew' project). I think I'm going to choose one of 25 poses to show the energy of the music.
If I continue these studies, the drawings are going to be sloppy, so there's only 7 /25 .

ah zah, really like ur work. keep repping the trad!
Spectacular portraits. inspirational stuff. as you say you do very traditional style work!
keep on those body studies they seem to be your weakest part yet still they look as though they are on their way to getting stonger.
keep it up!
luvv the dance poses woohoo!
last sketches look awesome! and you seem to have a nice touch to traditional medias! I should spend more of my time with oilpainting, but it takes too much time
chriis.zed, `ej, NoodleDoodle: tnx!
The Ham: thank you I know the body studies aren't great, but I don't always see what's wrong. For example the ink drawing/painting below. I see that it's not good, but I don't see it in most of the dance poses studies.
I don't understand how you can insert an attachment file into the post itself, so you can tell something about it next to the image itself.
Would someone explain it to me ?
EDIT; thnx for explaining to me how to insert the attachments Noë
We went to Artis Zoo in Amsterdam during 2D classes (that's 5 minutes from my school).
The animal sketches are all done in 15 sec. of 30 sec. Except maybe the lion sketch.
They are done with blue/pink ink (ecoline), because I left my black ink at home. Drawn with a cotton wool stick (you know, for your ears...).
It was really hard. I'm not happy with it, but I upload it anyways.
The dance poses again, picture taken in better light.
These are 100x70 cm.
First one done with acrylics (face isn't done yet)
second one made with ink (I see that the anatomy isn't good )
I didn't make a quick sketch before I started painting. That's hard, especially with ink, because you can't make any mistakes. But that makes it kinda fun too
Pfieuw... now I have to go to school again.

I really love your work on the gray paper , it's so elegant and soft I need to do some of those studies with drapery too, great work. I love sketching at the zoo. It's really great for learning and fun too ^^
Hey marlisa!
It's been a while since I visited here so here comes my little post with ideas and helpfulness (hopefully haha )
How to put your attachments in your posts is a bit hidden indeed after you uploaded your attachments, you have to click on the little paperclip icon above the writing area (it's next to the fonts, sizes and smiley).. Then you get a dropdown menu of all the images you have attached, and when you click one, that puts it in your post. Usually with posts with lots of images it's easier to click "insert all", which inserts every image into your posts immediately. You can still write between the images, and use "preview post" to see if everything looks correct. Also another tip for uploading attachments: to avoid to have to fill in each dropdown menu and the copyright information each time you upload an image: Just fill in the information, upload the first image, then after that is done you hit the backspace, or right click -> back, and you go back to the previous screen with all the filled in information. Then you click browse and pick the next file you want to upload, and it uploads with the already filled in information.. Saves a lot of time!!
You said that you can see that some anatomy isn't correct, but you can't point out what, right? It's best to train this yourself ofcourse because if others tell you, then you still can't find it out for yourself. So here are some tips to find out:
- Step back from the painting/drawing and compare your drawing to your reference picture without looking at details, just general proportions. Maybe even take a picture and look on the little LCD screen on your camera.
- Measure, I mean not like with a ruler but with your fingers or pencil. You might for example see that on a reference picture half of the length of the entire body is from the body to the hips, and the other half is from hips to feet, then you might see that you made the legs a little too short on your drawing or something like that. When you think something is wrong with an area of your drawing, just try to measure those parts of the reference and compare a little.
- Also take angles into account. Sometimes an arm goes down from the shoulder when in your drawing it might go up. This is just a difference of a few degrees in your angle, but the elbow and hand will end up on a completely different place.
I did see a few things on those dancers that could be better, but maybe you want to figure them out for yourself first? Just PM me otherwise and I'll tell you what I found
By the way, I love the dancers, really like the drawings and the paintings as well And the lions are so nice!! Can't believe you did that with a bit of cotton stick thing haha that must have been hard!
Well, I'll have to go now, going to go to my parents for a night and a day to use their sewing machine to make a huge character (Letter) for Typography.. Hope it'll work..
Keep up the good work! I really like how you're improving with the bodies and paintings

@Noë! tnx so much!
Right now I haven't much time to study anatomy, because I'm behind with schoolstuff too. There are some assignments that I don't like at all.. but I have to do them ofcourse so that's my problem right now.
Unfortunately I'm very ehm.. stubborn (I hope that's the right word for it), I love to draw or paint every day! Yes, even if i also have to draw all day at school.
So I do the anatomy studies anyways... even now I don't have the time for it
Small update:
I made this one thursday at school. I think three poses are enough.
I thought it might be cool to do all three in B&W, with different mediums.
But it goes together with the very bright coloured abstract thing, and maybe that doesn't work together . I don't know.
*Going back to anatomy studies*
`` `
M A R L I S A 's SB -> traditional stuff || Website thingie
Noë || Cerasela || Chin-Chan-Sen
I think they go together really well.. Maybe you want to pick the two you think are best and place those on the left and right side of the abstract thing? Or put the three dance poses above or below the abstract thing looks good ^^ don't worry..
I know exactly what you mean with the anatomy studies instead of school work. I do way too much personal stuff compared to school stuff.. I try sometimes to keep a little connection with school stuff though, so that I can maybe show it at evaluations haha

I love your art works! We don't get to see much traditional stuff nowadays, so it's really something that you're so passionate about it
hey marlissa,
you have some great work here. You post pretty frequently and your looking to improve.
You have already received lots of advice, but have you ever tried using a mirror when your drawing from life or ref. compare your drawing an the real thing (or photo) and you might be able to see things that look out of place.
keep working yo butt off
Tnx guys!
Noë: I try to do the same thing. That's why I put so much effort in this 'wytches brew' song assignment for 'Beeld & Concept'.
hunchback: yeah, I get what you mean. I should do that more often.
Maybe I should do this week every day one self portrait from mirror?
Yeah, I'm going to do that. That's good practise
Maybe I should wait with uploading stuff until I have more to show...
But I was so happy with new reactions from people, and I forgot to post this one earlier (it isn't finished yet, but I like it already to be honest )
It's from Bernini's 'David'.
The scanner doesn't work and the battery of my camera is charging, so I can't post the posemaniacs I did today.

Wow everythings lookimg great in here Marlisa!
That last one has great energy! love the hand studies as well!
keep at it,
OOOH Love it!
The technique is wonderful! White pastel or chalk on black paper? Should try that some time ^^
One thing on this one: it looks like you made the face (eyes, nose, mouth) a bit too large for the head size? but comparing it to the pictures of that statue it doesn't look like a lot too big I love the variation of tones that you got, and the contrast with the dark paper! great stuff hihi Will reply to your mail tomorrow haha sleep now ^^

You have really good stuff here I especially like the quick ones, 10 mins or so. keep it up!
I love what you do with color; great work! It's so cool to see the improvement here... stay with it
Look, see! Nifty art! http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=99803
Hey! Check out my blog here
Very good progress!
Try and use fewer, more complete lines in your sketching. It's a lot easier to think about a line, where it beings and ends, how it connects and disconnects, its weight, the ways it twists and so on, and then draw it once you understand it than it is to draw several lines or lots of little fuzzy dashes. It's always easier to erase and redraw 1 whole line than it is many! This will also push you to think about what you're drawing more, and after a while of practice it will all happen in a second!
Hope that helps some. Good work so far!
Only the heart intrinsically noble can succeed...
Check out My Sketchbook: Leave critiques, encouragement, and good jokes within.
Hey Marlisa! just thought I'd drop by. You really got some nice tones in that last one. I really enjoy thats technique
Also, those animal studies sure looks neat, I should do some of them too. Heh. Keep it up!
Really nice traditional paintings. Love the colours and contrasts! totally respect people who work entirely traditional. No matter how good a digital painting may be, it's always more satisfying finishing the physical painting. *thumbs-up*
Yay! A lot reactions! You people made my day!
JailHouseRock2: tnx Matt!
Noë: Haha tnx! it's done with soft white colour pencil.
I struggled several hours (with a lot of breaks) with the face, until I didn't care anymore and left it this way.
nakatoni: hehe, the quick ones are really hard for me to do, because I'm a very stubborn perfectionist... but they are a really good practise!
AmontilladoAg: ahw thanks! That made me smile
IanE: That's a good tip (though i've heard it before.. but I don't listen to it I guess)! I'll try to do my best with my selfportrait this evening .
Vloth: Really nice of you to drop by! If you're going to do some real life animal sketches too, I'd recommend drawing with ink or somethin. It's harder I guess, but it worked for me the best
bigus_dickus: Tnx! I don't do any digital art because everyone does it (that doesn't mean that I don't like it though, some people can make really incredible things), and I like the craft work, mixing the colours, the paint on the canvas, the pencil strokes...
Very, VERY small update. I finished this *cough* sketch tonight...
I saw some Mucha art last week and it inspired me. Thought it would be fun to copy the pose from some piece and translate it to my style.
I wanted to make it more realistic, and I'm going to do a painting (in blue-tones I think) when my evaluation week at school is over (next weekend ).
I really love to make things with the theme paganism or magic or something like that. I feel attracted to that and I have tons of ideas to work out.
Mucha ref.
I made some changes, for example the toes and all the shadows (and the drapery isn't exacly as in mucha's work).
Don't mind the blurry right corner. I was too lazy to start the computer downstairs, scan the thing etc.
EDIT: the head is waaaaaaaaaaaay to small... I'm not going to change/improve it in this drawing. I guess it's something to work on in the painting.
The selfportraits i've been doing this week will be posted tomorrow, posemaniacs too.

WHOA!! DAMN, I.. I ... I.. DAMN! youve seriously improved, i think you mightve past me on the ability skill. but damn, you sure know how to control your brush and pencil. id like to know how good you are with applying your own style?
oooh *hearts*
I love it ^^ Didn't even notice the small head until you pointed it out haha.
I really like how you used the Mucha art as an inspiration but didn't just copy it lovely!
I'm very interested to see how you paint this

hey, nice stuff in here. like your studies a lot. those bw hatching sketches are awesome keep up the good work.
Aahw tnx l0stinth0ughts, Noë & MeTaL-Mike !
I'm really tired so I just say what I have to say.
Tried to scan my daily selfportraits from last week, and posemaniacs, but after one drawing, the scanner flipped and didn't work anymore.
My brother borrowed my camera, so can't take pictures of them right now.
I don't really want to start with my last selfportrait from this week (drawn today), cause I think it's the best I made.
Posting the last one first makes the other sketches/drawings even worse than they already are -_-'
But hey... I'm really tired and have to wash my (pierced today) nose piercing before I go to sleep, brush teeth (I'm sooo tired, just want to crash on my bed). So I stop nagging now.
Edit: Oh, I forgot that I already uploaded my Artis Zoo sketches from today, before lenting my camera to my bro (bah, don't have energy to correct my english).
Done with ink, in 10 - 15 min. (except for the alligator, I think that was 20 min) some of them are done in 1 min or 2 min. .
Made this in 2 hours I guess. DONE FROM MIRROR! Yes, I'm actually kinda proud.
I noticed I drew my face too long every day, so tried to pay attention to that in this one. My face looks to small, or my eyes too big, but actually that was really what I saw in the mirror.
It's weird how your face looks different each time in different light!

Structure of the Cand1-Cul1-Roc1 Complex Reveals Regulatory Mechanisms for the Assembly of the Multisubunit Cullin-Dependent Ubiquitin Ligases
Cell, Volume 119, Issue 4, 12 November 2004, Pages 517-528
Seth J. Goldenberg, Thomas C. Cascio, Stuart D. Shumway, Kenneth C. Garbutt, Jidong Liu, Yue Xiong and Ning Zheng
SummaryThe SCF ubiquitin ligase complex regulates diverse cellular functions by ubiquitinating numerous protein substrates. Cand1, a 120 kDa HEAT repeat protein, forms a tight complex with the Cul1-Roc1 SCF catalytic core, inhibiting the assembly of the multisubunit E3 complex. The crystal structure of the Cand1-Cul1-Roc1 complex shows that Cand1 adopts a highly sinuous superhelical structure, clamping around the elongated SCF scaffold protein Cul1. At one end, a Cand1 β hairpin protrusion partially occupies the adaptor binding site on Cul1, inhibiting its interactions with the Skp1 adaptor and the substrate-recruiting F box protein subunits. At the other end, two Cand1 HEAT repeats pack against a conserved Cul1 surface cleft and bury a Cul1 lysine residue, whose modification by the ubiquitin-like protein, Nedd8, is able to block Cand1-Cul1 association. Together with biochemical evidence, these structural results elucidate the mechanisms by which Cand1 and Nedd8 regulate the assembly-disassembly cycles of SCF and other cullin-dependent E3 complexes.

SummaryThe SCF ubiquitin E3 ligase regulates ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of many regulatory proteins such as p27Kip1, IκB, and β-catenin. We report the isolation of a CUL1 binding protein, p120CAND1. We found the majority of CUL1 is in a complex with CAND1 and ROC1 independent of SKP1 and F box protein SKP2. Both in vivo and in vitro, CAND1 prevents the binding of SKP1 and SKP2 to CUL1 while dissociation of CAND1 from CUL1 promotes the reverse reaction. Neddylation of CUL1 or the presence of SKP1 and ATP causes CAND1 dissociation. Our data suggest that CAND1 regulates the formation of the SCF complex, and its dissociation from CUL1 is coupled with the incorporation of F box proteins into the SCF complex, causing their destabilization.

Dynamics of Cullin-RING Ubiquitin Ligase Network Revealed by Systematic Quantitative Proteomics

SummaryDynamic reorganization of signaling systems frequently accompanies pathway perturbations, yet quantitative studies of network remodeling by pathway stimuli are lacking. Here, we report the development of a quantitative proteomics platform centered on multiplex absolute quantification (AQUA) technology to elucidate the architecture of the cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL) network and to evaluate current models of dynamic CRL remodeling. Current models suggest that CRL complexes are controlled by cycles of CRL deneddylation and CAND1 binding. Contrary to expectations, acute CRL inhibition with MLN4924, an inhibitor of the NEDD8-activating enzyme, does not result in a global reorganization of the CRL network. Examination of CRL complex stoichiometry reveals that, independent of cullin neddylation, a large fraction of cullins are assembled with adaptor modules, whereas only a small fraction are associated with CAND1. These studies suggest an alternative model of CRL dynamicity where the abundance of adaptor modules, rather than cycles of neddylation and CAND1 binding, drives CRL network organization.

Graphical Abstract
► Cand1 modulates the repertoire of SCF ubiquitin ligase complexes in cells ► Cand1 functions as an F box protein exchange factor ► FRET assay reveals real-time dynamics of SCFFbxw7 assembly and disassembly ► Cand1 accelerates the dissociation rate of SCFFbxw7 one-million-fold
- The modular SCF (Skp1, cullin, and F box) ubiquitin ligases feature a large family of F box protein substrate receptors that enable recognition of diverse targets. However, how the repertoire of SCF complexes is sustained remains unclear. Real-time measurements of formation and disassembly indicate that SCFFbxw7 is extraordinarily stable, but, in the Nedd8-deconjugated state, the cullin-binding protein Cand1 augments its dissociation by one-million-fold. Binding and ubiquitylation assays show that Cand1 is a protein exchange factor that accelerates the rate at which Cul1-Rbx1 equilibrates with multiple F box protein-Skp1 modules. Depletion of Cand1 from cells impedes recruitment of new F box proteins to pre-existing Cul1 and profoundly alters the cellular landscape of SCF complexes. We suggest that catalyzed protein exchange may be a general feature of dynamic macromolecular machines and propose a hypothesis for how substrates, Nedd8, and Cand1 collaborate to regulate the cellular repertoire of SCF complexes.

Ajax Timelines and the Semantic Web
Timeline uses Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) to provide a nice interface for browsing information that has a time component. The Timeline Web site describes Timeline as "...Google Maps for time-based information".
Timeline lets you view points and durations of time in an intuitive manner. I refer to these as time events or just events when the context is clear. Many bands at different granularities—hour, day, month, year and so on—can show you how events relate to each other. You can use the mouse to drag around the display, or double-click on the Timeline to center at that time. All events can have click bubbles showing a little HTML with links and images.
Using Timeline itself requires no software installation on the client or Web server. Although there are no requirements for installing Timeline, while developing Timeline Web sites, you can improve reload speed by installing Timeline on the local machine. To do this, check out a copy of Timeline from Subversion, and change the script path in your Timeline HTML files to point to your local copy.
Listing 1. Get Timeline from Subversion for quicker reloads.
$ svn checkout \ http://simile.mit.edu/repository/timeline/
Timelines are normally generated in the onLoad() JavaScript function of the HTML page body. An HTML div element is defined where the Timeline itself is to be generated. Call Timeline.create() in the onLoad() JavaScript function, passing the ID of this div element and the information to use for the Timeline.
Many day, week, month and year sliders can be created using the Timeline.createBandInfo(), which selects the time unit and screen size relative to the entire Timeline that each band will consume. The Timeline is populated with time event data from an XML file using Timeline.loadXML(). An update function also should be called in onResize() to allow the Timeline to redraw itself.
An HTML file showing a Timeline is provided in Listing 2. First, we include the timeline-api JavaScript file directly from mit.edu. The bulk of the work is done in the onLoad() function that generates two bands: one showing days and the other months. The two bands are passed as an array into Timeline.create(), along with the HTML ID of the div tag where we want this Timeline to be. The bands are connected to an event source object, through which we then load our Timeline XML file. The syncWith setting makes sure that when you drag one time band the other will follow. Our OnResize() function makes sure that Timelime.layout() is called to update our Timeline. The rest of the HTML file simply defines a few other elements and a div tag where we want our Timeline to be created.
The XML file containing the dates is shown in Listing 3. This contains two types of durations: one we are sure of and one that is just a rough window of time. Because the XML file does not contain isDuration="true" for the Versailles event, it will be shown differently on the Timeline. The final event is a fixed single point in time when our flight leaves.
Events can have links, images and an HTML content associated with them. The screenshot in Figure 1 shows how this example is rendered by Firefox. Here, I have clicked on the Vierzehnheiligen event to show its image, and below that will be the HTML associated with this event.
A band on the Timeline can be nonlinear. For example, this band could display days as its default unit until it hits a hectic period, at which point it shows hour units for a three-day period before reverting to days as its default unit. This is done using Hot Zones, which are created by calling Timeline.createHotZoneBandInfo() instead of Timeline.createBandInfo() and passing an array of band information.

Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said Sunday, Nov. 3, that WR Rod Streater (hip) suffered a hip injury in the Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Streater fell just shy of the 100-yard mark Sunday. He's becoming a solid WR2 to Denarius Moore in Oakland, so it's worth tracking whether or not the injury impacts Streater's availability going forward.
Posted: 8/24/2013 12:22pm et
Updating a previous report, Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said WR Rod Streater (concussion) suffered a concussion during the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 23.
Huddle Up: Streater is listed as week-to-week right now. The Raiders' No. 2 receiver has 15 days to be cleared for the opener. Streater is a young receiver with upside but given Oakland's current mess at quarterback, that may not matter for fantasy owners. The Raiders will likely have one of the NFL's worst passing offenses in 2013.
Posted: 7/29/2013 8:50pm et
Oakland Raiders WR Rod Streater has been very consistent during practices and could become the go-to receiver in the passing game this season because the team he likely will be able to catch passes.
Huddle Up: Streater, an undrafted rookie free free agent in 2012, finished the year ranked third among Silver & Black wideouts with 39 receptions for 584 yards and 3 TDs. He did finish strong, posting a 18-361-1 in the Raiders' final 5 contests. Also working in Streater's favor is that Darrius Heyward-Bey is now in Indy, opening up a starting position.
Posted: 3/25/2013 7:14pm et
Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said he hopes WR Rod Streater will be able to continue his improvement in 2013. "I want to see him start where he left off, but I want to see continued improvement," Allen said. "I think the guy's got talent. I think he's a good route-runner. I think he's got good ball skills. I think he'll go up and attack the ball. I think he's a tough kid. I think he believes in a lot of the things I'm looking for in a football player."
Huddle Up: Streater flashed his ability last season and should see even more opportunity with Oakland's receiving corps thinned this offseason; of course, those gains may be offset by Terrelle Pryor taking over as the Raiders' quarterback.

Grytviken (Swedish for "Pot bay")[1] is a settlement in the British territory of South Georgia in the South Atlantic. It was so named in 1902 by the Swedish surveyor Johan Gunnar Andersson who found old English try pots used to render seal oil at the site. It is the best harbour on the island, consisting of a bay (King Edward Cove) within a bay (Cumberland East Bay). The site is quite sheltered, provides a substantial area of flat land suitable for building, and has a good supply of fresh water.
Its latitude, at 54.27 S, makes it the world's southernmost capital of any territory.
Carl Anton Larsen[edit]
The settlement at Grytviken was established on 16 November 1904, by the Norwegian sea captain Carl Anton Larsen as a whaling station for his Compañía Argentina de Pesca (Argentine Fishing Company).[2] It was phenomenally successful, with 195 whales taken in the first season alone. The whalers used every part of the animals - the blubber, meat, bones and viscera were rendered to extract the oil and the bones and meat were turned into fertilizer and fodder. Elephant seals were also hunted for their blubber. Around 300 men worked at the station during its heyday, operating during the southern summer from October to March. A few remained over the winter to maintain the boats and factory. Every few months a transport ship would bring essential supplies to the station and take away the oil and other produce. The following year the Argentine Government established a meteorological station.
Carl Anton Larsen, the founder of Grytviken, was a naturalised Briton born in Sandefjord, Norway. In his application for British citizenship, filed with the British Magistrate of South Georgia and granted in 1910, Captain Larsen wrote: "I have given up my Norwegian citizen's rights and have resided here since I started whaling in this colony on the 16 November 1904 and have no reason to be of any other citizenship than British, as I have had and intend to have my residence here still for a long time." His family in Grytviken included his wife, three daughters and two sons.
As the manager of Compañía Argentina de Pesca, Larsen organised the construction of Grytviken, a remarkable undertaking accomplished by a team of sixty Norwegians between their arrival on 16 November and commencement of production at the newly built whale-oil factory on 24 December 1904.
Larsen chose the whaling station's site during his 1902 visit while in command of the ship Antarctic of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–03) led by Otto Nordenskjöld. On that occasion, the name Grytviken ("The Pot Cove") was given by the Swedish archaeologist and geologist Johan Gunnar Andersson who surveyed part of Thatcher Peninsula and found numerous artifacts and features from sealers' habitation and industry, including a shallop (a type of small boat) and several try-pots used to boil seal oil. One of those try-pots, having the inscription 'Johnson and Sons, Wapping Dock, London' is preserved at the South Georgia Museum in Grytviken.[3]
Managers and other senior officers of the whaling stations often had their families living together with them. Among them was Fridthjof Jacobsen whose wife Klara Olette Jacobsen gave birth to two of their children in Grytviken; their daughter Solveig Gunbjørg Jacobsen was the first child ever born south of the Antarctic Convergence, on 8 October 1913. Several more children have been born on South Georgia: recently even aboard visiting private yachts.
The whale population in the seas around the island was substantially reduced over the following sixty years until the station closed in December 1966, by which time the whale stocks were so low that their continued exploitation was unviable. Even now, the shore around Grytviken is littered with whale bones and the rusting remains of whale oil processing plants and abandoned whaling ships.
Grytviken is closely associated with the Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton. Shackleton's most famous expedition set out from London on 1 August 1914, to reach the Weddell Sea on 10 January 1915, where the pack ice closed in on their ship, the Endurance. The ship was broken by the ice on 27 October 1915. The 28 crew members managed to flee to Elephant Island, off Antarctica, bringing three small boats with them. All of them survived after Shackleton and five other men managed to reach the southern coast of South Georgia in the James Caird. They arrived at Cave Cove, and camped at Peggotty Bluff, from where they trekked to Stromness on the northeast coast. From Grytviken, Shackleton organised a rescue operation to bring home the remaining men.
He again returned to Grytviken, but posthumously, in 1922. He had died unexpectedly from a heart attack at sea at the beginning of another Antarctic expedition, and his widow chose South Georgia as his final resting place. His grave is located south of Grytviken, alongside those of the whalers who died on the island.
On 27 November 2011, the ashes of Frank Wild, Shackleton's 'right-hand man', were interred on the right-hand side of Shackleton's grave-site. The inscription on the rough-hewn granite block set to mark the spot reads "Frank Wild 1873-1939, Shackleton's right-hand man." Wild's relatives and Shackleton's only granddaughter, the Hon Alexandra Shackleton, attended a service conducted by the Rev Dr Richard Hines, rector of the Falkland Islands. The writer Angie Butler discovered the ashes in the vault of Braamfontein Cemetery, Johannesburg, while researching her book The Quest For Frank Wild. She said "His ashes will now be where they were always supposed to be. It just took them a long time getting there".[4]
Falklands War[edit]
During the Falklands War, Grytviken was captured by Argentine forces in early April 1982 following a brief battle with British Royal Marines. The Royal Marines, SAS and SBS retook the settlement three weeks later without a shot being fired in return.[citation needed]
Supported by the corvette ARA Guerrico on 3 April 1982, the ARA Bahía Paraíso landed a party of Argentine marines who attacked the platoon of 22 Royal Marines deployed at Grytviken. The two-hour battle resulted in the ARA Guerrico being damaged and an Argentine Puma helicopter shot down. The Argentine forces sustained 3 men killed and a similar number of wounded, with one wounded on the British side. The British commanding officer Lieutenant Keith Mills was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross for the defence of South Georgia. While the British Magistrate and other civilians and military present in Grytviken were removed from South Georgia, another 15 Britons remained beyond Argentine reach. The losses suffered at Grytviken prevented Argentina from occupying the rest of the island,[citation needed] with Bird Island base, and field camps at Schlieper Bay, Lyell Glacier and St. Andrew's Bay remaining under British control.
On 25 April, the Royal Navy damaged and captured the Argentine submarine ARA Santa Fe at South Georgia. The Argentine garrison in Grytviken surrendered without returning fire. The following day the detachment in Leith Harbour commanded by Captain Alfredo Astiz also surrendered. Finally, the Argentine personnel were removed from the South Sandwich Islands by HMS Endurance on 20 June. Due to evidence of an unauthorised visit, the closed station Corbeta Uruguay was destroyed in January 1983.
Current situation[edit]
Along with the surrounding area, the station has been declared an Area of Special Tourist Interest (ASTI).
Grytviken is a popular stop for cruise ships visiting Antarctica, and tourists usually land to visit Shackleton's grave. The South Georgia Museum is housed in the manager's house of the former whaling station, and is open during the summer tourist season.
The station's church is the only building which retains its original purpose, and is still used occasionally for services. There have been several marriages in Grytviken, the first being registered on 24 February 1932, between A.G.N. Jones and Vera Riches, and the most recent on 19 February 2006, between Peter W. Damisch and Lesley J. Friedsam. On 28 January 2007, a service was conducted in remembrance of Anders Hansen (a Norwegian whaler buried at Grytviken Cemetery in 1943) and to celebrate his great-great-grandson Axel Wattø Eide's baptism occurring in Oslo, Norway, the same day.
Popular culture[edit]
The church and abandoned whaling station at Grytviken make an appearance in the 2006 Oscar-winning feature film, Happy Feet.[citation needed]

I always give a g'morning/af'noon/evening when seeing other runners. I don't mind overtaking or being overtaken as I don't know what kind of run they are on (recovery/tempo etc) so I don't see it as a reflection of me being faster/slower a runner than them.
Again, its just a simple nod or smile for me. To anyone and everyone out there. From the 20 stone guy who is his first day in his running shoes to the seasoned athlete who can out run me any day.
We are all on our own mission, i think when you see lone joggers like our selves, and for a simple courtesy nod, i feel anything more is intrusive.
I will nod briefly to give a passing hello to other runners. Unless they're wearing headphones, in which case I assume they're in their own world and just ignore them.
I expect nothing more than the same in return and I'm not bothered if I don't get that. I certainly don't need any support or encouragement. My running time is selfish me time and the less interaction I have with others, the better.

Minding Our Elders: Hearing loss adds to problems of dementia
DEAR CAROL: My mom is 89-years-old, lives in assisted living and has dementia. She also has substantial hearing loss which isn't helped very much by her hearing aids.

Minding Our Elders: Ask staff for advice when visiting elders in nursing homes
DEAR CAROL: My husband and I are traveling this Christmas and want to take a side trip to visit my aging aunt who is in a nursing home.

Minding Our Elders: Grieving is unique to individuals
DEAR CAROL: My mom died six months ago and I'm still having a hard time accepting her death. I keep thinking about what I could or should have done better when she was still with me. I don't communicate my grief to my family members because they think I should be over it by now. They seem to be getting on with their lives just fine, but I'm not.By Carol Bradley Bursack , November 30, 2012
Minding Our Elders: Kids urge father to hire help in caring for mom
DEAR CAROL: My mother is in the middle stage of Alzheimer's. Dad is her primary caregiver, and it's wearing him out. He can't sleep because she doesn't sleep. He's worried about her wandering even though the house is secure. My siblings and I try to help, but we are all out of town and have jobs and families. Dad refuses to consider putting Mom in assisted living, yet he can't continue life as he's living it, either.

How do we convince him to do things differently?By Carol Bradley Bursack , November 26, 2012

How do you gently begin to supervise a parent's health? Our mother is widowed now and 74 years old. She took care of our dad who had dementia and she seemed to do okay for awhile after he died.

Minding Our Elders: How do we tell mom we're selling her home?
Mom's adjusting well to her new environment, but she still wants to go home periodically. We are having a problem deciding on how to tell her that it's time to sell her home of over 50 years. We've always been upfront and honest with Mom, so we feel we must tell her the truth. Eventually, she'll need the money from the home sale to pay for her care. Any advice on how to address this would be appreciated. – SandyBy Carol Bradley Bursack , November 03, 2012
Minding Our Elders: Mother's cognitive changes frustrating
Dear Carol: My mother's dementia is taking a toll on both of us. There are times when she doesn't understand what is happening around her, so she gets angry, calls me names and even accuses me of stealing. Other times, she seems very clear, but those times are almost worse for me because she says things like "Just give me something to end this." Five minutes later, she's back to being mad at me or anyone else near her. I don't know which extreme is harder to cope with. Isn't there a way to find some middle ground with this disease? – JanBy Carol Bradley Bursack , October 27, 2012

Robert Greenstein is founder and Executive Director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, D.C.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) lifts more children out of poverty than any other social program in America -- indeed, more than all other means-tested benefit programs combined. That's because it provides a substantial tax credit for low-income working parents, which is also refundable. That is, it is paid in full to them whether or not they owe income taxes. Last year, 16 million low-income families with children received $30 billion under this federal tax program.
During a recent visit to the office of one of the Senate's more thoughtful and influential Democrats, I was told by the senator's legislative director: "The Democrats' first priority in this Congress is a middle-class tax cut. Now let's move on to the second priority: if s a middle-class tax cut. Then there's the third priority: a middle-class tax cut."
For a decade, Democrats have been badgered as the tax-and-spend party that ached to put its hand in your pocket and take some of your hard-earned cash. Many Democrats yearn for the times when they appeared as champions of the average family, as they did during the fall 1990 budget clash when they fought off clumsy White House efforts to shift tax increases from the rich to the middle class.

Happy Halloween!
We dropped off our "Pumpkin" donation just in time for Halloween.
Each year we ask TPP volunteers to use orange and green yarn to craft pumpkin hats and matching booties for our NICU Baby Pumpkin Patch. This year, our volunteers got even more creative and we received a wonderful variety of different hats.
Spooky ghosts and goblins
Girlie ruffle hat and booties
Pumpkins with appliques and leaves plus a few sweet candy corn
Adorable onesies with matching hats and booties.
Sleepers for babies going home around Halloween. Do you see the candy corn appliques that match the hats?!
Happy Halloween to everyone in the NICU. Your families are in our thoughts!
Volunteers- don't forget about our last special donation of the year, the Winter Holidays Donation. With the holiday season, we often have a difficult time getting enough items for this donation. Please consider knitting/crocheting a couple of santa hats before the holidays approach!
Remember, it's for the babies,
Happy Crafting!

Ever been stuck with a downed server? Not with Bytemark – you can reboot and reinstall from our console, and because we build our servers by hand, we know how to keep them running if hardware fails.
A server will need to reserve a certain amount of memory while it is processing a web page, or incoming email, so the amount of memory you need will be proportional to how busy your server is. When a server hits its memory limit, performance usually degrades sharply.
The number of simultaneous processing units that this server can do. Literally the number of things it can do at once. A two-core server can handle a lot of tasks literally twice as fast as a one-core server, though some tasks will make better use of multiple cores than others (processing web pages splits itself fairly ideally across multiple cores though).
The amount of data that your server can store, of which 2-5GB is required for a Linux-based system. The rest is free for your sites, mailboxes and databases.
Backup space
The amount of off-site storage you are allocated with this product, which is intended for you to set up backups. Backup space quotas may be pooled between different products on the same account.
Traffic allowance
The amount of data you may transfer in one month from this product before excess charges apply. Traffic allowances may be pooled between products on the same account.
- Mirrored drives are standard issue (RAID1)
- Full range of Linux or Windows operating systems
- Ability to reboot and reimage at any time
- 4-hour/24-hour hardware replacement guarantee
- Up to 32GiB RAM, 3TB disc space and solid state drives for extreme speed.
Q. What if my server goes wrong?
When we deliver your dedicated server, you get access to the console shell which allows you to both reboot and access the console of your server. This means that even if your firewall is misconfigured, or you're investigating a hardware fault, you can keep control of the server.
Q. What happens if there's a hardware fault?
Bytemark monitor the serial lines of all our servers to look out for disc failures. If we see one, we'll contact you to arrange to bring the server down to change the disc. Because all our servers have two discs, you shouldn't lose any data as a result of such a failure.
That's the most common fault, but if you spot something else, our excellent support people will track it down, even out of hours, and fix it for you. We guarantee to change faulty hardware, once reported, within 4 working hours, or 24 hours.
Q. Can I reimage the server?
Yes you can! If you need to start over, you can use our console shell to reimage your system at any time, without intervention from Bytemark.
Operating system choices
You can pick from any of the following OS for your dedicated server:
- Debian GNU/Linux (squeeze)
- Ubuntu (precise and saucy)
- CentOS (6.3 and 5.8)
- Windows Server 2012 Standard/Datacenter Edition
- SQL Server + other Microsoft products
Our Windows licensing page should help you work out the right version of Windows for your needs.
"Thank you so much for all your help with the server. We handled 6 times our normal traffic with absolutely no slowdown. I really appreciate all the help and advice you guys gave at such short notice and how quickly you got the new server going. Could have been a bit of a disaster without it! I'll most definitely be recommending you to anyone who's looking for hosting in the future."

Kentucky Auditor Adam Edelen does not like the changes the Senate made to a House-approved bill increasing oversight to the more than 1,200 taxing districts, but if that's what it takes to get the law approved, the Kentucky House of Representatives should compromise and agree to those changes.
The bill is too important to be allowed to fail over an amendment for which we suspect many, if not most Kentuckians would be in agreement.
The provisions included in House Bill 1 would not be high on any legislator's agenda if not for Edelen. Before becoming auditor in January of 2012, the special taxing districts that fund libraries, voluntary fire departments, soil conservation districts and other tax-supported entities had drawn only scant attention from state and county elected officials and from taxpayers.
But soon after becoming auditor, Edelen's office launched a study of taxing districts that found the 1,268 taxing districts collect $1.5 billion in taxes and fees each year, plus another $1 billion in grants and private donations. He said the districts also hold about $1.3 billion in reserves. Because they've operated with little oversight, Edelen said called the taxing districts a "ghost government."
Based largely on Edelen's findings, House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, sponsored the bill designed to give the taxing districts the oversight they needed and that the people belatedly demanded. Besides improved oversight, Stumbo's proposal would create a centralized registry for taxing districts so that taxpayers and government agencies will know how many of them exist in Kentucky. And it would require leaders of local taxing districts to undergo ethics training and to answer to a local ethics commission, just as other government officials do.
With the full support of the appointed leaders of most taxing districts, HB 1 sailed through the House of Representatives by a vote of 96-1.
The Senate was expected to approve the bill with little or no changes. That is until at the insistence of Senate Majority Leader Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, the Senate State and Local Government Committee amended the House bill to give elected county commissioners and magistrates the power to veto increases in taxes and fees imposed by local taxing districts.
Thayer insisted that the provision is crucial to the bill in that it gives elected officials the right to strike down hikes in taxes and fees, rather than leaving that to the sole discretion of appointees. "For me, it's a deeply held philosophical belief that taxpayer dollars should not be expended unless there is some kind of oversight component by those who are elected by the people," he said.
While it may come as a surprise to Edelen and the Democratic majority in the House, many Kentuckians also agree with Thayer. Tax increases should be approved by the people they elect, not by those dedicated but mostly unknown people who serve as appointed members of the boards of the special districts.
Edelen is irate over the Senate change saying that it could jeopardize the support of a broad coalition of local officials who has been pushing the legislation.
"To have that potentially jeopardized and lost over something that isn't even germane to the bill that we have proposed, I think, represents a sad occasion," Edelen said.
And to have a good bill fail to become law because legislators do not trust the elected leaders of county governments to have the wisdom to fairly judge the needs of local taxing districts would be an even sadder occasion. While we have not always been impressed by the wisdom — or lack thereof — displayed by members of county fiscal courts, they are elected by the people to serve their interests.
We think House Bill 1 is a good bill without the changes made by the Senate, but if that is what is takes to approve the bill, then so be it. As we understand it, the change would not allow fiscal courts to slash the taxes of the special districts; it would just give the power to prevent any tax hikes. That's not unreasonable.
The House is scheduled to vote Monday on the amended Senate version. Let us hope reason prevails.
Still a good idea
House should accept Senate change to taxing district bill

Denied a vote
What is it about members of the Kentucky General Assembly that makes them so reluctant to allow voters to make the final decision on important public issues? Don't they trust the ability of the people to have the intelligence and the ability to make the right decision?
Promise Zone
Uncle Sam's latest effort to combat poverty in eastern Kentucky will soon begin in eight counties in southeastern Kentucky. Here's hoping this program proves more effective at improving the economic health of this region than the programs launched a half century ago when President Lyndon Jonson came to eastern Kentucky to declare "War on Poverty."
Teaching welders
We offer a somewhat belated congratulations to Derek Hazlett, a welding instructor at the Carter County Career and Technical Center, for being one of only two recipients of the 2013 Carl J. Schaefer Memorial Award that honors career and technical education teachers.
Heroin is here
Just a few years ago, few could have ever imagined hosting two public forums on heroin use in Bracken County, the mostly rural county located along the Ohio River between Mason and Campbell counties. After all, at the time heroin was a drug problem in major cities like New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles but not in peaceful small towns like Brooksville and Augusta.
Efforts to contain white-nose syndrome have so far failed
Efforts by officials at Carter Caves State Resort Park to prevent white-nose syndrome from spreading among bats have so far failed. The same is true further west at Mammoth Cave, the world's largest cave system and the only national park in Kentucky.
Wrong changes
After ignoring previous efforts by the Kentucky House of Representatives to place a constitutional amendment automatically restoring the voting rights of most felons, a Kentucky Senate committee has finally approved a bill that, if approved by the full Senate, could lead to the amendment being placed on the November ballo
A record year
In what may surprise a lot of Kentuckians, the commonwealth set a new record for exports in 2013 with $25.3 billion in sales of Kentucky-made products and services. But it is no surprise to Gov. Steve Beshear and economic development leaders. After all, last year marked the third consecutive year the state has set new records in exports.
When a violent storm occurs in Kentucky, a state park may be one of the safest places you can be. That's because Kentucky is the first state in the nation to have all of its 34 state parks with overnight accommodations designated as "StormReady" by the National Weather.
You can now once again drive from Kentucky to any of its seven bordering states — Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virgina, Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri — without leaving the Bluegrass state
Pieces of history
Here's something to add to your brick collection: one or two bricks from Putnam Stadium. And you can get them at no charge by simply stopping by the open area between the stadium and Joel Street known as the dust bowl.
