What has Athens to do with Jerusalem? Tertullian's classic question is recalled in the first pages of John O'Malley's book and is said to provide the "basic structure" for his consideration of the title's "four cultures." The reader who comes to the book mindful of the fundamental divide implied in an ultimate orientation to either Jerusalem or Athens, Revelation or philosophy, will be surprised to find that Thomas Aquinas is placed in one of the three "Athenian" cultures as are the two reforming Church Councils of Trent and Vatican II. "Jerusalem's" culture encompasses the fulminating Luther as well as American abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and "TV evangelists and ranting commentators on AM radio." Clearly there is something different afoot here from the more prevalent, and perhaps more profound, way of understanding how Athens and Jerusalem stand to one another.
O'Malley, a distinguished historian of the Jesuit order (to which he belongs), acknowledges that his illustrations of the four cultures draw heavily and disproportionately on the history of Christianity. One welcome result is that they provide a rich statement of how integral Christianity has been to Western culture, a useful reminder in this age when some are seeking public amnesia of Christianity's role. From his abundant store of knowledge and reflection, O'Malley reminds or teaches readers of some very interesting aspects of our Western past. Significant to this reader was the recollection that "Jerusalem knew Athens long before the time of the New Testament and had spiritual and intellectual commerce with her," and that five of the earliest major Christian writers in the Latin West, from Tertullian to Augustine, were teachers of rhetoric before their conversion to Christianity. Notable also is the reminder that Christianity had been prepared for its widely known engagement and use of Aristotle in the 13th century by the efforts in the 5th and 6th centuries of Boethius and of the non-Christian Ammonius at Alexandria. The power of Aristotle came to be such, observes O'Malley, that the systematic rational culture which Aristotle represented shaped Thomas's great Summa. It was a work of theology, but speculative theology rather than practical or pastoral in any way, and it in effect turned around the way one might expect a believer to approach Aristotle: the Summa asks, now that we have Aristotle, why do we need the Bible?
That triumph of Aristotle and his culture in Christian history becomes a major target for Luther's protest as well as those of Petrarch and Erasmus. O'Malley attends much to Luther and Erasmus, the latter appearing in a significant way in every chapter of the book. He focuses on how these two 16th-century malcontents differed in their styles of reform even while sharing much of substance. He gives readers information and perspective on the efforts and calls for Church reform that preceded Luther's break. Along the way in this survey of Christianity in Western experience, readers learn of times when preaching was not done in the context of the mass and of simple times when factors such as widespread illiteracy and growing wealth helped to explain the Christian embrace of material expressions of their faith in the form of statuary and performance, when Ambrose, later Augustine's inspirational teacher, is elevated to the office of bishop by popular acclamation, though he was without church experience and still unbaptized.
What, however, of the central claim of this book? What are these four cultures? How does Tertullian's question about Athens and Jerusalem provide a basic structure? In fairness, it is important to attend first to the author's professed goal in this work and the many disclaimers entailed in it. Twice O'Malley indicates his awareness of the dangers of writing a "big picture" book and suggests that his own reluctance to do so had to be overcome by the persuasion of others. A "big picture" book it must be, for it explores, in considerably less than three hundred pages, the weaving of four dominant cultural threads in Western experience. Explicitly adopting the form of an extended essay, O'Malley associates his intent and style with the tradition of epideictic rhetoric as exemplified in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Rather than see the book "as making a claim," he seeks to lay before his readers, chiefly for appreciation, the story of four discernible but not rigidly separable Gulf Streams (his dominant metaphor) in the vast ocean that is Western experience. He simply wants them noticed and leaves the reader to do what he will with them.
Everywhere his tendency is to make his definitions loose, his distinctions far from sharp and firm. Every boundary drawn is somewhat porous and permeable, and thus the inevitable critical reaction of readers to generalizations and to how individuals are placed among the cultures is somewhat disarmed. This is an impressionistic rendering on a very large canvas. O'Malley writes in a lucid and inviting style, inviting not only to sharing what he sees but also to conversation about and criticism of the picture he sketches.
Cultures, for him, are configurations; the elements of such configurations are "forms, symbols, institutions, patterns of feeling, patterns of behavior and the like." He chooses "cultures" over "traditions" which term he considers "too flaccid." Style or mode of discourse or rhetoric is said to be the dominant element in a culture. Without engaging him in any way or recalling his specific name, O'Malley seems to be embracingindeed uses the very words ofMarshall McLuhan's mantra of an earlier generation: "The medium is the message."
The cultures articulated in this book are the prophetic culture rooted in the style of the Hebrew prophets, the academic and professional culture rooted in the rational questing style of Socrates and taking more systematic form in Plato and Aristotle, humanistic culture initially exemplified in Homer, Isocrates and the Sophists, and artistic culture, the non-verbal culture of art finding early manifestations in Greek architecture, sculpture, music, and ritual performance. These cultures are not exclusive to the West, but they are thought to be more sharply distinguished in Western development. Nor do these four exhaust the cultures present in the West. O'Malley names the business culture and the electronic media culture as other formative realities. All these cultures interpenetrate as streams in a larger ocean might, and the threat that the one of them will simply draw others into its current, or that some will ally against the very life of one of the others is ever present, as when the three verbal cultures work to check or eliminate the artistic culture. The first and most evident application of the dichotomy between Jerusalem and Athens arises simply from noting that one of the cultures originates in Jerusalem and the other three are "Athenian."
Among the characteristics of the prophetic culture is the penchant for proclamations, threats and promises, dichotomies as either/or such as Athens or Jerusalem, and contempt for the world. Here O'Malley places not only Tertullian but also Christian martyrs and hermits, reformer Pope Gregory VII, Luther, the Anabaptists, the abolitionists, and Martin Luther King. The academic culture of the modern university with its drive for testing and sifting for the truth is seen as representing the triumph of the philosophic culture of ancient Greece. It is where he places Boethius and Thomas Aquinas. It is the culture of objectivity and modern science, and more then once O'Malley notices how it has taken over theology.
The third culture, the humanistic culture, is alternately called the culture of poetry, rhetoric and the common good. It aims at the good while the academic culture seeks the true. This culture of the good is that of the statesman, the gentleman, and the refined woman. Here is where the likes of Virgil, Ambrose, and Erasmus are placed, but as with all his locating of individuals in one stream or another, O'Malley insists that it is a predominant characteristic that affects his placement and that individuals may be participating in more than one culture. Cicero who is set here in the third culture is sensibly described as a man in whom the philosophical culture joins with this humanistic culture. O'Malley's further description of his philosophy as one in which dialectics is a servant of rhetoric and in which one finds no inherent interest in natural philosophy too readily accepts common views about this self-identified Socratic who looked to Plato's principles in politics for direction, who thought philosophy the greatest gift of the gods to humankind, and who struggled responsibly with the tensions between attractions of speculative philosophy and the compelling urgencies addressed by practical philosophy. Finally, there is the fourth culture, that of the arts, and O'Malley illuminates this culture quite exclusively in terms of Christian history, treating his readers in the course to some fine analyses and reflections on the waves of iconoclasm that emerged in that history.
At the end, it appears that O'Malley's intent has been to offer the witness of history as a rebuttal to Tertullian's once-given answer that Athens has nothing to do with Jerusalem. The four culturesor at least three of themare testimony that the transcendent claims of religion express themselves in forms that appear basic to human nature, basic styles of being. Perhaps a little qualification is in order, that initial confrontational style of "either/or," the style said to originate in the Hebraic tradition and to emphasize "the utter otherness of God," has it alone among the cultures been essentially enabled by the claim of Revelation? Does it capture better than the other cultures a fundamental choice that rests beneath the surface of integrations and apparent syntheses of Athens and Jerusalem?
This query is but one possible way toward some large questions the book raises. Should style's importance be so elevated that it is said to be the "ultimate expression of meaning," that "the medium is the message"? Or is there more obfuscation in such analysis than clarification, specifically an occluding of the grounds of convictions and beliefs that express themselves in one or another mode? How helpful is tracing the continuities in history of these loosely defined cultures or styles? Does such tracing tend to mask deep and significant discontinuities? O'Malley acknowledges such discontinuities, noticing, for example, that Aristotle would hardly recognize as his heir the modern multiversity and that universities which gives him such scant attention don't know him as a revered ancestor. Though O'Malley happily imposes no grand scheme or progressivist or other frame on Western history, the flow of his four Gulf Streams tends to lull us to a kind of helpless acceptance of the alleged forms they have taken today. There is a dulling of the critical edge that seems necessary not only for personal integration of the various styles toward life's purpose and task but also for reforming institutions like the modern university. What is difficult in the end is to know whether O'Malley's own rhetoric of display, his self-consciously gentle and inviting rhetoric, is intended to lull us or meant to draw us to these very questions and concerns.

Signs of infant jaundice usually appear between the second and fourth day after birth and include:
You'll usually notice jaundice first in your baby's face. If the condition progresses, you may notice the yellow color in his or her eyes, chest, abdomen, arms and legs.
The best way to check for infant jaundice is to press your finger gently on your baby's forehead or nose. If the skin looks yellow where you pressed, it's likely your baby has jaundice. If your baby doesn't have jaundice, the skin color should simply look slightly lighter than its normal color for a moment.
It's best to examine your baby in good lighting conditions, preferably in natural daylight.
Most hospitals have a policy of checking a baby for jaundice before discharge. The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines regarding jaundice recommend that your newborn infant be examined for jaundice whenever a routine medical check is done and at least every eight to 12 hours while in the hospital.
Your baby should be checked for jaundice when he or she is between three and seven days old, when bilirubin levels usually peak. Therefore, if your baby is discharged earlier than 72 hours following birth, you should have a follow-up appointment to check for jaundice within two days of discharge.
The following signs or symptoms may indicate severe jaundice or complications from jaundice. Call your doctor if:

The Art of Cantankerous
On November 20, 2012 – Atlantan and Archer illustrator Joe Karg and his partners Chris Bivins and Elio Guevara went live with their first comics-related Kickstarter for the Cantankerous web comic and a limited-edition hardcover book, The Art of Cantankerous. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...t?ref=category Karg and his team have spent the last year developing and producing a brand-new epic of visual storytelling that is now available and can be read for free on their website http://cantankerouscomic.com/ In order to document the illustrative work that makes Cantankerous its own world, the creative team has gathered all of its best drawings and designs into a limited-edition 100-page hardcover book (9 inches x12 inches). In addition to all the drawings, the Cantankerous team has reached out to industry professionals from the worlds of animated feature film and television, video gaming, illustration, and fine art in order to include in the book a discussion about designing imaginary worlds. Each of the following artists shares his unique perspective regarding the challenges of design within his field. Ryan Prows: Academy Award-winning director of Narcocorrido Marcelo Vignali: Production designer of Hotel Transylvania Jorge Gonzalez: Illustrator for The New Yorker magazine, creator of Dear Patagonia Claudio Acciari: Animator for The Road to El Dorado, illustrator for Totoro Forest Project Bryan Wynia: Character artist for God of War: Ascension, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, and the forthcoming Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters Michael Brown: Fine artist represented by Gallery Nucleus, Sarah Bain Gallery, and Roq La Rue Gallery Neal Holman and Chad Hurd: Art directors for Archer Supporters can visit kickstarter.com [fallow the link above] from November 20 through December 20 in order to give support. We appreciate the generosity of everyone who chooses to give financial support, but beyond that crucial level we ask you to share links to the project with your friends so that more people can see what we're doing. Grab your deep sea diver suits and get ready to welcome a little bit of Tennessee Ruckus, the incomparable Sharkboxer, onto your bookshelf. Thanks for your support, Joe Karg |

School escapes charges in Webcam spying case
A Pennsylvania school that was caught secretly snapping photos of students via laptop Webcams will not face criminal charges in the case.
Triggered by complaints and a civil suit by Harriton High School student Blake Robbins in February that he was photographed at home without his knowledge, the FBI and local officials launched an investigation to determine if the Lower Merion School District illegally misused the Webcams.
But federal and local prosecutors looking into the incident were unable to prove criminal intent on the part of school employees and therefore could not prosecute the case, according to U.S. Attorney … Read more

The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse

Beatrix Potter - Author

Summary of The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
Reviews for The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
An Excerpt from The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.
The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure. Once upon a time there was a wood-mouse, and her name was Mrs. Tittlemouse. She lived in a bank under a hedge. Such a funny house! |

The Eden Valley-Watkins volleyball team hosted a tough Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop bunch Tuesday, Sept. 10, and lost a hard-fought match, 3-2 (25-17, 10-25, 20-25, 25-22, 10-15). The locals were on the edge of their seats as the Eagles stormed to a 9-9 tie in the deciding set. But the Thunderbirds stepped it up and snatched the win with a 6-1 flurry at the end. "It was a very up and down-played game by both teams. There were many momentum swings throughout the entire evening. The girls played hard and picked it up after game two," Coach Andrea Huschle said. The coach knows the recipe for getting back on the winning track. "We need to focus on not worrying so much about making errors, but instead what can we do to score points. We need to believe in ourselves. We are gaining strides each and every day."

Two Atlantic Canadians have won the 2005 Dalton Camp Award.
Kurt Peacock of Saint John, New Brunswick and Megan Wennberg of Halifax, Nova Scotia have won the annual Award for their original essays of the link between democratic values and the news media. Prizes are being presented today at the Banff World Television Festival.
The Dalton Camp Award was created by Friends of Canadian Broadcasting in December 2002 to honour the memory of the late Dalton Camp, a distinguished commentator on Canadian public affairs, who passed away earlier that year. Friends' goal is to encourage young Canadians to reflect and express themselves through original essays on the link between democratic values and the quality of media in Canada. Each Award consists of a cash prize of $5,000 as well as a bronze cast medal by Canadian sculptress Dora de Pédèry-Hunt.
"I'm thrilled to be receiving the Dalton Camp award, named after such a distinguished New Brunswicker and Canadian," said Kurt Peacock. "I think he would have agreed with a great deal of the argument I put forward in my essay: that for Canada to work, its national media needs to recognize the importance of including all parts of Canada in any national debate."
Mr. Peacock's winning essay asserts that the tendency of national media outlets to cover only big city news has unnecessarily "turned our country into one of a hollow central federation made up of many mutually suspicious solitudes."
Kurt Peacock is a researcher and historian. He has previously written for the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, and the Telegraph Journal. He is currently working with Vibrant Communities Saint John, a community initiative designed to reduce poverty in Canada's oldest incorporated city.
"I wrote about a specific instance of how the actions of a large media chain had the effect of limiting the diversity of independent voices in the news media," said Megan Wennberg.
Ms. Wennberg's essay chronicles the rise and fall of an independent Saint John newspaper - here - which was bought in October 2004 by Brunswick News, part of a media empire which owns every English-language daily newspaper in New Brunswick.
Megan Wennberg is a freelance writer, photographer and filmmaker living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Megan has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison University, and a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of King's College. Originally from Saint John, New Brunswick, she has lived and worked across Canada.
The Dalton Camp Award is available to up to three Canadians each year, the winners of an essay competition on how the media influence Canadian democracy. The Dalton Camp Award Selection Committee is chaired by Jim Byrd; the other members are Knowlton Nash and Maggie Siggins.
Friends of Canadian Broadcasting is is an independent, Canada-wide, non- partisan voluntary organization supported by 64,000 households whose mission is to defend and enhance the quality and quantity of Canadian programming in Canada's audio-visual system.

Judging by the sky-high rate increases big cable has imposed since price de-regulation, consumers will likely feel pain in the pocketbook if unbundling of cable TV packages is announced in today's Throne Speech.
Friends of Canadian Broadcasting will preview the ad campaign and release details of a new Nanos poll at a news conference this morning.
The CBC has refused to air television ads that challenge the Conservative government's takeover of the national public broadcaster.
CBC's new licences, announced this morning by Canada's broadcast regulator, are the culmination of years of neglect by successive governments and the product of the Harper Conservatives' hostility toward public broadcasting in Canada.
Friends of Canadian Broadcasting spokesperson Ian Morrison will be available to comment shortly after the release the CRTC decision concerning the renewal of the CBC's broadcasting licences.
Many of Canada's leading authorities and practitioners of journalism are calling for changes to Bill C-60 so that the government's Omnibus Budget legislation does not do irreparable harm to the editorial independence of the CBC.
On behalf of Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, Ian Morrison will testify to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance concerning C-60, the Budget Implementation Omnibus Bill that would give the Cabinet new and unprecedented authority over the CBC.
No public broadcaster in any free and democratic country anywhere in the world faces political interference with its editorial independence as proposed for the CBC in Bill C-60.

People keep saying this, but is it confirmed to actually work? There was a big debate about it in the chat on Kongor's stream a week or two ago when he farmed about 30 bags in normal, opened them all in torment 6, and got zero legendaries.Quote from FEIF81
Not atm....but i really hope there will be som difference bc its kind of lame how it works atm example is farm bags in normal and open them in torment 6.
posted a message on The only way to ensure a gear reset with an expansion is by allowing numbers to grow to crazy amounts. It's why every single WoW expansion ends up with numbers that just look insane compared to previous expansions. If the gear isn't designed to allow this, you'll end up with casuals who play very little upgrading everything two levels into the expansion but other, full-time gamers with BiS items exploding with rage on the official forums because they are still wearing half of their old gear at the new level cap.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion

Are you actually reading his posts? Because it doesn't really seem like you are.Quote from Maka
^^Wow, you're still seriously equating something that has both political and fiscal unity to something else that 'only' shares the same currency. Amazing.
posted a message on Just for the record, you do know that Act 4 was supposed to be very short, right? The D2 Act 4 was more of an epilogue or short conclusion to the original storyline rather than a full, separate act, and the developers said way back during the D3 development days that they were more or less following that plan for D3. I'm not saying Act 4 is very good, because it's not, but it was supposed to be short.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
In any event, I'm also curious to hear the answer to your question. -
posted a message on I would not at all mind an in-game shop for cosmetic items and other quality of life improvements, such as stash tabs, more character slots beyond the minimum required to have one of each class in each game mode, etc. I think this would be perfectly acceptable, and I would possibly be willing to spend some of my own money if the returns are worth it.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
What I would not find acceptable, however, is an in-game shop selling items that are more or less required for a decent gaming experience. The exact location of that boundary is of course subjective and open to interpretation, but I hope Blizzard would tread very carefully here if they do go this route. -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Yeah, until I hear otherwise I'm operating under the assumption that this is how it will be, although I see that there are many people asking for clarification on the official forums. I won't be pre-ordering for awhile anyway, considering the various bugs people are reporting with their accounts after pre-ordering the game.Quote from Zero(pS)
Guys, calm down. It's very much likely 12 base slots, and 3 extra ones for a total of 15.
They wouldn't mess that shit up.
Either way, there's no reason to buy it right now. We can wait some.
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I'm trying to confirm this one way or another before I totally lose my shit, because if I'm seriously expected to either pay an additional $20 or delete two of my characters just to try a crusader on both softcore and hardcore, I'm going to be EXTREMELY pissed off.Quote from shaggy
We get 12 slots even if we don't buy the CE, right? Please say yes.Quote from Slayerviper
$20 extra so I can have 13 slots... goody.
EDIT: For those of you with beta access, how many character slots do you have? -
posted a message on I've yet to encounter my first HC death, but I came incredibly close last night. My highest level char is a WD who just finished nightmare last night (I am mostly a SC player, although starting to play HC more and more). I went into Diablo at level 50, with about 23k HP and 2k dps. Honestly I should have had more HP, I knew that was a bit low for Diablo on nightmare, but I did it anyway.Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
I was generally having no problems until very late in phase 3. I took a fair bit of damage from his fire/lightning breath because, although I saw him taking a breath to start it, I thought I could finish dpsing him down before I got hit with it. I didn't, and lost about half of my health globe to it before I managed to get out of the way. He then immediately cast the black spots that turn into bone prisons, but I was so frazzled by taking all the damage that I didn't get out in time, and got stuck (and of course my potion was still on cooldown). By the time Diablo was done lifting me up and damaging me, my screen was glowing red and I couldn't even see any red health left in my globe. I ran for the health pools first thing and managed to hit one before taking any additional damage, but I was probably one hit away from death.
Now that I'm in hell, it's time to slow it down and actually focus more on survivability. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

The life of each human being begins at conception;...The laws of this state shall be interpreted and construed to acknowledge on behalf of the unborn child at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state.
Many states have recently been considering laws either limiting or banning abortions. Earlier this week, the Virginia House of Delegates [official website] passed a similar bill that would also define life as beginning at conception [JURIST report]. Earlier this month, the Virginia Senate approved legislation requiring a woman to have an ultrasound before an abortion [JURIST report]. Last November, Mississippi voters rejected [JURIST report] a ballot measure [Initiative 26 materials] that would have amended the state constitution to define the word "person" or "persons" to include "every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the functional equivalent thereof." The initiative, which would have given fetuses rights from the moment of conception, was defeated by more than 55 percent of the state's voters. In October 2011, an Oklahoma state court judge issued a temporary injunction [JURIST report] against a new Oklahoma law that restricts how doctors may use abortion-inducing drugs to treat patients.

A 39 year old Crown Point man accused of multiple financial crimes, identity deception, and crimes against the elderly, was arrested Wednesday in Michigan City on 11 felonies charges. Indiana State Police say Marlon Leon Underwood was taken into custody without incident, and his arrest stems from an investigation that began back in July of 2012 after a complaint by the Indiana Department of Insurance on possible insurance fraud. Authorities say Underwood, who had his brokers license suspended in 2010, was a broker at the American Freedom Financial Insurance Office in Highland, and later worked out of his home, selling insurance primarily to the elderly. State Police say it is believed there may be more victims that have not yet come forward, so if you think you may have been a victim, please contact the Indiana State Police Lowell Post, at 219-696-6242, and ask for Detective Joe White.

Recipe by Madchen
"Ground pork, applesauce, soy sauce, and carrots give these meatballs a sweet and salty flavor."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 ounces dried mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup warm water
1 pound ground pork
2 carrots, shredded
1/3 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 egg white
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons brown sugar
This is really good, I just had a couple of changes, I added some salt and pepper to the meatballs,also you need to have more sauce. I made pineapple rice and put the meatballs over. It was yummy!!!
I only rated this 3 because we didn't care for the taste of the dried mushrooms in the meatballs. Once the mushrooms were picked out we enjoyed them and the sauce is very tasty and not overly sweet.
8 Ratings
This just didn't work for us. The meatballs smelled delicious while they were baking but we didn't care for the way they tasted.
These were wonderful! We didn't have mushrooms on hand, yet it was still delicious! I would totally recommend this! We served it over rice but we want to try noodles next time!
What did I do wrong? I followed the directions to a T, omitting the mushrooms like some stated. It was awful! Meatballs were dry and tasteless. I made a whole batch and froze some, so next time I am going to try and doctor them up with some Dijon mustard for a "honey mustard" sauce.
Wow! My Husband said meatball heaven. I did change a few things because he and my son do not like mushrooms. Used 1 tsp. hoisin and 1/2 tsp. fish sauce in the meatballs instead of the soy sauce and added a little diced green pepper and grated ginger root. For the sauce, I used 3/4 cup water and vegetable bullion cube instead of the mushroom soaked water. They turned out juicy and perfectly cooked with enough sauce served over ramen noodles.
I left out the mushrooms and added about 3 tbsp of bread crumbs. This was a big hit with my family. My boys loved it. I left the cover off for the last 30 minutes so the meatballs would have a bit of a crust and served it with brown rice.

On March 21, 2011, my MacBook was stolen from my apartment in Oakland, CA. I reported the crime to the police and even told them where it was, but they initially didn't help me. Long story short: I created this blog and got it back five days later. Thanks to my friends and fans for their support along the way. - Feb 21, 2012
I'm retiring this blog, but if you would like to keep up with me on Tumblr, you can follow my main tumblelog, unraveled also. I can also be found elsewhere on the web, including my main website, unraveled.
Thanks to everyone for following "This Guy Has My MacBook" and supporting the effort to get my MacBook back!
Rather than repeat this over and over, I thought it would be helpful if I published a short timeline of events, from the day my MacBook was stolen, until today when I picked it up.
I really don't want to know what this guy is doing with my MacBook.

MSU President Finalist at Youngstown State
An Ohio newspaper reports Murray State University President Randy Dunn is among three finalists to be Youngstown State University's next president. The Vindicator reports Dunn was among eight semifinalists interviewed this weekend. Dunn's current contract at Murray State ends June 2014.
The MSU Board of Regents voted against extending Dunn a new contract on March 15th following a social gathering of a quorum of regents the night before the meeting. Kentucky's Attorney General is set to issue an opinion this week on whether or not that social gathering constituted an illegal meeting. Dunn has served as MSU's president since 2006. Youngstown leaders hope to seat a new president by June 12th.
The newspaper reports the two other candidates are William R. Decatur, CFO and treasurer of the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and James D. Moran III, vice chancellor, Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education in Harrisburg, Pa.

The Sonoma Coast Rockin' H Pinot is arguably our sturdiest Pinot; always the first grapes harvested and always ripe even in the coldest years, assured by its western exposure on the banks of the Petaluma River. There is a foundation of black cherry-like fruit. The wine is faintly scented by the line of eucalyptus trees bordering the vineyard. Add sweetness from a new toasted oak barrel and you have a recipe for the exotic. The wine is still young so give it some time to open up. You might even find it more flavorful the following day.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Erin Silk, 518.782.9400, ext 224
Albany, May 5, 2011 – In conjunction with Nurses Week, May 6-13, the New York State Nurses Association asks the legislature to demonstrate a commitment to improving patient outcomes and quality healthcare delivery by supporting the Advancement of Nursing Education bill (A1977/S1223).
The bill would require registered nurses to obtain their baccalaureate in nursing within ten years of initial licensure in order to re-register to practice in New York state. This measure is consistent with the state's overall commitment to encouraging professionals to advance their education.
In today's healthcare environment, advanced education is necessary to keep pace with increasingly complex drug therapies, rapid advances in technology and a growing population with multiple chronic conditions.
"The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's recent report on The Future of Nursing stated that 'nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved system that promotes seamless academic progression," said Nurses Association President Karen A. Ballard. "Advances in health care do not wait for us to catch up. We must continue our focus on educating the nursing workforce for nursing practice that best meets the needs of our patients."
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

UPDATE 9/9/13 @ 6:30 p.m.
DUNBAR, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- We now know the name of a construction worker who fell nearly 50 feet off an interstate bridge in Kanawha County.
Dunbar Police tell WSAZ.com that Raymond Lugo was working on the I-64 bridge between Dunbar and South Charleston on Sunday afternoon.
It's unclear what company Lugo is employed with, although fire officials believe he was installing some sort of fencing on the bridge.
Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.
It happened Sunday afternoon when the Dunbar and South Charleston Fire Departments responded.
Fire officials say when they got to the scene, a man was laying on his back in heavy brush underneath the bridge. They were able to rescue him within less than 20 minutes and he was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center for treatment.
Officials add the man most likely only has a few broken bones and was conscious and responsive. His name isn't being released.
It's unclear what company the worker is employed with, although fire officials believe he was installing some sort of fencing on the bridge.
The accident is under investigation.

The dual-channel CTP-2 provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added), and an onboard chromatic tuner.
Other performance-enhancing features include Takamine's asymmetrical neck profile – which is slightly thinner on the treble side so that it fits the natural shape of your hand, resulting in a comfortable feel and improved playability. The split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, and the rosewood bridge features abalone-dot ivory pins.
Premium design appointments include an ebony fingerboard with ivory binding, abalone "snowflake" inlays, a dark rosewood headcap with abalone Takamine logo, gold tuners with gold buttons, a natural bone nut and smooth gloss natural finish. The P7NC comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.
The Cool Tube
After over two years of research and design time, Takamine has once again demonstrated their leadership in acoustic-electric guitar amplification technology.
The Cool Tube preamp introduced at the January 2004 NAMM show in Anaheim, California is the most significant development in "on-board" acoustic signal processing since Takamine presented the Acoustic DSP, the industry's first on-board "digital" acoustic guitar preamplifier in 1998. The Takamine Cool Tube preamp is an on-board acoustic- electric preamp that utilizes a 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube. The "Cool Tube" packs a huge amount of features and amazing tone into a compact package that fits neatly into Takamine's "SoundChoice" docking port. The "Cool Tube" preamp joins a range of five distinctly different preamps that are all interchangeable, giving the Takamine player several great options to fit their personal style and taste.

July 3, 2013 On the BeatBucking the Losing TrendThe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has become baseball's parallel universe. On the western side of the state in Pittsburgh, the Pirates look like serious contenders for their first post-season berth—and winning season—since 1992. On the eastern side, the Phillies appear destined to miss the playoffs for a second straight season since winning five straight National League East titles from 2007-11. The initial reaction is to think the Pirates are flukes. After all, this is a franchise that has often been out of contention by Memorial Day over the past two decades. Yet on the eve of Independence Day, the Pirates' 51-31 record is the best in the major leagues, and they take offense when people suggest that being 20 games over .500 is fluky. "Everything that these guys have done has been earned," said right-hander Charlie Morton, who rejoined the team in middle of June after starting the season on the disabled list while recovering from Tommy John surgery. "I don't see it as 'things are going our way,' or 'we're catching all the breaks.' I see a team that's fighting for every inch and earning every win. I wouldn't classify it as luck. I wouldn't because that would be selling them short about what they've done so far." The Pirates' record has been built on pitching and defense, as they are second in the major leagues in runs allowed with an average of 3.40 a game. That has made up for a lackluster offense, which ranks 10th in the NL and 21st in the major leagues; the Pirates are scoring 3.95 runs a game. The Pirates' bullpen, in particular, has been outstanding. Closer Jason Grilli has a 0.81 FIP and a 1.26 Fair Run Average, and set-up man Mark Melancon is at 1.58 and 2.15. Six relievers combined to pitch 12 scoreless innings Sunday in a 2-1 win over the Brewers in 14 innings after Morton was forced from the game after two innings because of a lengthy rain delay. "I feel like they all throw 110," Brewers left fielder Logan Schafer said. "They've all got good stuff. They know what they're doing, they locate for the most part. They're pretty effective at getting ahead in counts, and I think that's big on their end. "

Every once in a while I see discussions/arguments about the remains of Steve Mason's potential as a starting goalie in the NHL pop up in various places. In the comments here, on Twitter, wherever it may be. I saw a few come up this past Friday in light of this Yahoo! ranking of starting NHL goalies that placed him at 28th out of 30 (while also saying that they "have an inkling [Mason] might work out") and this follow-up from philly.com which suggested that "Mason deserves to be a little higher than 28th".
Generally, most of those discussions have the same structure. People who think he still has a chance say that he still has time to get his confidence back and that he's only now turning 25, which is still young enough for a goalie to prove himself. Meanwhile, people who don't think he has a chance point to the fact that, despite his age, he's played in the NHL for five seasons now and has been bad for about three-quarters of that time (his rookie season and the last month of this past season being the exceptions), and that all the confidence in the world doesn't matter if you aren't actually any good at what you're doing.
I can't say a whole lot about Mason's confidence. I've written before about work ethic questions surrounding him, and we can hope that he's actively trying to improve there, but I try not to speculate a ton about athlete's mental states when I can't see inside their minds. Maybe there's something there, maybe there isn't, but it's probably useless for us to speculate on.
But we can look at whether or not goalies around his age, as well as goalies who we've already seen play multiple seasons in the league, generally have room for potential improvement.
Since 1996-97 (the season since which average save percentages have stayed above .900) there are twelve goalies who (a.) faced at least 3000 shots in their careers up through their age-24 seasons** and (b.) faced at least 3000 shots in their careers in the years after their age-24 seasons. Here's how those splits look for each of them. (All data regular-season only.)
Shots faced thru 24 | Save % thru 24 | Shots faced after 24 | Save % after 24 | Post-24 difference | |
Cam Ward | 6169 | 0.903 | 6404 | 0.917 | 0.014 |
Jonathan Quick | 3189 | 0.908 | 4383 | 0.919 | 0.011 |

First, the positives:
* There's a wide variety of results there, ranging from "much improved" to "slightly worse", but more often than not, these guys have done a little bit better since their age-24 seasons than they had before/during them. Eight of the 12 guys listed posted better save percentages after that season, and as a whole the group improved by .0035 after it.
* Even for the guys who faced a ton of shots before 25 (similar to Mason, who's faced 6,768 shots in his career to date) the trend is generally positive, if not even moreso. Cam Ward, Marc-Andre Fleury and Roberto Luongo, put together, averaged a .911 through their age-24 seasons and have collectively posted a .918 since. In fact, Fleury and Ward were two of the guys who've improved most in those seasons. The fact that we've already seen a lot of Mason (relative to the rest of the list) doesn't mean he's disqualified from getting any better.
So if someone says "Mason still has time to improve", they're not wrong. There's certainly precedent for players in similar situations having done the same thing.
But there are some important qualifiers here, too:
* Generally speaking, save percentages have gone up over this timeframe in question (with a reset around the first season post-lockout), particularly for the guys who have done most of their work in the last decade or so. So if you're looking at a marginal rise in save percentages between an earlier timeframe and a later one, it's possible that league-wide trends are a big part of the cause.
* While a save percentage bump of .0035 isn't meaningless, that bump isn't going to take a bad goalie and make him a good one. If Steve Mason improves by that much and plays like a .908 goalie for the rest of his career, that's still not much more than the level of a decent backup/very low-end starter. Certainly not something that will (or, at the very least, should) make the Flyers want to keep him around long-term.
* Even if these improvements are real and significant, and even if we can expect Mason to be a .908 or so goalie for the rest of his career (which is not even close to a sure bet), they still don't necessarily predict what will happen in the span of the 2013-14 season. There's enough volatility in single-year goaltending results that he may end up well below or above that mark in any given year.
So even though I ultimately think both sides of the hypothetical Steve Mason argument (as described above) have a point, there's certainly a limit that leads me closer to the "he's just not going to turn into a starter" side. It's true that his book hasn't been closed yet. He very well could still improve, and it's feasible to think or even expect that he will do so a small bit -- enough that he won't be a total disaster.
But the expected improvement probably isn't even enough to even get him to the "low-end starter" threshold, let alone "good goalie", and he'd need to well-outperform some historical averages in order to get there. And even if he's going to improve, he's far from a sure bet to show that potential improvement this season.
** "Age-24 season" is defined as the year in which the player was 24 on February 1 of that year, as per hockey-reference.com's records.

Písac, Pisac, or P'isaq (Quechua) is a Peruvian village in the Sacred Valley on the Urubamba River. The village is well known for its market every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, an event which attracts heavy tourist traffic from nearby Cusco.[1]
One of its more notable features is was a large pisonay tree, which was dominating the central plaza (the tree was destroyed by a thunderstorm in 2013).[1] The sanctuary of Huanca, site of a sacred shrine, is also near the village. Pilgrims travel to the shrine every September.
The area is perhaps best known for its Incan ruins, known as Inca Písac, which lie atop a hill at the entrance to the valley. The ruins are separated along the ridge into four groups: Pisaqa, Intihuatana, Q'allaqasa, and Kinchiracay.[2] Intihuatana group includes the Temple of the Sun, baths, altars, water fountains, a ceremonial platform, and an intihuatana, a volcanic outcrop carved into a "hitching post for the Sun" (or Inti). The angles of its base suggest that it served to define the changes of the seasons.[3] Q'allaqasa, which is built onto a natural spur and overlooks the valley, is known as the citadel.[4]
The Inca constructed agricultural terraces on the steep hillside, which are still in use today. They created the terraces by hauling richer topsoil by hand from the lower lands. The terraces enabled the production of surplus food, more than would normally be possible at altitudes as high as 11,000 feet.[5] The narrow rows of terraces beneath the citadel are thought to represent the wing of a partridge (pisaca), from which the village and ruins get their name.[4] The birds are also common in the area at dusk.
With military, religious, and agricultural structures, the site served at least a triple purpose. Researchers believe that Písac defended the southern entrance to the Sacred Valley, while Choquequirao defended the western entrance, and the fortress at Ollantaytambo the northern. Inca Pisac controlled a route which connected the Inca Empire with the border of the rain forest.
According to the scholar Kim MacQuarrie, Pachacuti erected a number of royal estates to memorialize victories over other ethnic groups. Among these royal estates are Písac (victory over the Cuyos), Ollantaytambo (victory over the Tambos), and Machu Picchu (conquest of the Vilcabamba Valley).[6] Other historians suggest that Písac was established to protect Cusco from possible attacks of the Antis nations. It is unknown when Inca Písac was built. Since it does not appear to have been inhabited by any pre-Inca civilization, it was most likely built no earlier than 1440.
Francisco Pizarro and the Spanish conquistadores destroyed Inca Písac in the early 1530s. The modern town of Písac was built in the valley by Viceroy Toledo during the 1570s.

Armenian (Eastern) phrasebook
Armenian (hayeren) is an Indo-European language not related closely to any other language. It is spoken by the Armenian people in the Republic of Armenia, Georgia, Nagorno-Karabakh and also by the Armenian diaspora all over the world. The estimate of speakers is 7 million. It is divided into two main dialects: Western and Eastern. Eastern Armenian and its minor dialects are used by the Armenians living in Armenia. Western dialect is spoken by the members of Armenian diaspora whose ancestors fled Western Armenia (now in Turkey) as a result of Armenian Genocide. This phrasebook deals with the Eastern dialect, which is the official language of Armenia. One important thing: in Armenian there are two ways of addressing people, informal and formal, like in German, French or Russian. For formal address the plural form of second person (pronoun դուք (douq)) should be used, while the informal is pronoun դու (doo). Please note that very few people in Armenia speak English, but almost everyone perfectly knows Russian. People have no problems speaking that language (with a slightly guttural accent), but learning a couple of expressions in Armenian will still not only turn useful in practice but also will the hearts of already hospitable Armenians. [edit] Pronunciation guideArmenian language has its own unique alphabet (whose characters are not rather similiar to Hebrew characters) invented by Mesrop Mashtots in 405 AD, which consists of 39 letters. The appearance of it seems quite complex compared to Latin, but unlike English and many other languages, the spelling of Armenian is quite phonetic, so once you know the pronunciation of each letter, reading should not be a problem. On the other hand the reproduction of some sounds may be a bit difficult for foreigners, since Armenian has several unique consonants that have no analogues in other languages. Words are stressed on the last syllable. Here are the uppercase and lowercase versions of each letter, followed by its name in English and a pronunciation hint. [edit] Vowels

The cost of eating healthy has risen so much and my fixed income not keeping pace. I tried cutting back at first but found myself running out and having to go to the grocery even more so I began to try a few tricks on my own.
One trick is this...I usually buy lite juice as real strength has alot of calories and sugar. I take my medicine and vitamins with juice so I can swallow them down easier.
One day I had very little juice left and added a bit of water to it to make it enough to make a glass. It wasnt bad, not the greatest but not too bad either. So the next purchase was for a full strength and good brand of juice.
I began splitting the glass with a third extra water and worked up to half. when I reached a half glass of full juice and half water I began splitting the jugs of Juice immediately. I kept the same empty jug and using my water filtering faucet filled half the jug and poured half the juice in the jug. Then filled the other with filtered water as well. It tastes just like the lite juice at 50% the cost. Sometimes the lite juice is more expensive!
I would not recommend buying the lite juice and then splitting it for I believe that is what the manufacturer has already done to make it lite.
I would recommend buying a good name brand juice like welches or ocean spray to split.
I make two containers out of one. The cost on sale is usually 1.99 and Im splitting the cost 50% still getting half the calories and a lite refreshing drink.
I have tried the same practice with dishwashing soap and clothing soap and it works with that as well but not an equal split but approx. one third.
Hope it helps.

Summary: This module introduces the wireless communication technologies available for mobile devices.
Wireless Technologies for Mobile Device Connectivity
The modern day mobile device is constantly connected to the rest of the world. In the past, the connection between two mobile phones was initiated only when one party called the other. Today however, modern smart phones and tablets stay continuously connected with the rest of the world through the WWW using a variety of connectivity technologies.
Analogue Cellular Networks (1G)
Analogue cellular networks were the first generation (1G) of wireless communication technologies. These were called analogue cellular networks as the voice was not digitally encoded but was modulated to a high frequency during the conversation. 1G speeds vary between that of a 28k modem(28kbit/s) and 56k modem(56kbit/s)resulting in actual download speeds of 2.9KBytes/s to 5.6KBytes/s.
GSM - Global System for Mobile Communications (2G)
GSM is a cellular network which constantly searches for and connects with cells (transmission towers equipped with antennas) in the immediate vicinity. This dependency on cells gave raise to the term "cellular phone" which is synonymous with mobile phones. The unique feature of GSM was the introduction of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or SIM card which allowed the users to retain his/her information and phonebook while switching handsets. This new technology sparked the modern day trend of changing handsets to keep up-to-date with the latest technology. GSM networks commonly operate in the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz bands. The frequency is then divided up into eight timeslots to be shared by concurrent users. The combined channel data rate for all 8 channels is 270.833kbit/s.
GPRS - General packet radio service (2.5G)
GPRS is a packet oriented mobile data service which works on GSM or 3G. When combined with GSM networks, GPRS is called a 2.5G technology. Even though GPRS is considered a best-effort service where the quality of service is dependent on the number of users sharing the data channel, this technology was the first of its kind which allowed users to affordably connect to the internet through their mobile devices. Typical GPRS data rates are around GPRS 56–114kbit/s but vary largely according to the usage of the channel. GPRS was later enhanced with Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) which is also known as Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS). With peak pit rates of up to 1Mbit/s and typical bit-rates of 400kbit/s this technology was seen as the precursor to 3G.
3G – 3rd Generation Mobile Telecommunications
3G revolutionized the way mobile phones and devices could be used to communicate and access information. With larger bandwidths 3G supports voice telephone, mobile Internet access, video calls and mobile TV in mobile environments. Although the standard for 3G dictates that peak data rates of at least 200kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s) should be maintained in 3G networks, most modern 3G networks offer data rates which are much higher. With recent versions, which are denoted as 3.5G and 3.75G, providing many Mbit/s in data rates, mobile broadband has revolutionized the way online content is delivered to the mobile user.
4G – 4th Generation Mobile Telecommunications
Replacing 2G and 3G, 4G wireless networks provide comprehensive IP based services including voice, video and data. With connection speeds 100Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users) 4G networks will revolutionise the future of mobile devices and how information is consumed by mobile devices.
