The Great House is really great!
We wanted take our whole family on a memorable vacation and came across Oasis Marigot's web site. We originally had a different villa picked out and Sylvie told me that the Great House would be better since we had a 1 year old and a 2 year old coming with us. We could close off the gates to the pool and stairs so the children would be safe. The Great House is perfect for the whole family. We had plenty of room. The view of Marigot Bay is incredible from the house. It's so quiet and peaceful up there on the hill. The marina and beach are just a short walk down the hill. The house had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back to St. Lucia!
more than special
We just had the most wonderful time at Poinsetta house. Our preference for this property was based on reviews we had read however, it far exceeds anything that could be written. We pretended it was ours the days we were there :) but it is obviously Elaine's pride and joy. She has kept it so beautiful and clean and perfect. Luciana the housekeeper and her brother the gardener both work so hard at keepinmg it emaculate . Every person we met in Marigot Bay was so personal and friendly. We wrote in the guest book that we dreaded the thought of coming home to glass in the windows !! We cant wait to return, it will be fun to see again the familar faces we got to know in the town.

Reno firefighters are investigating what caused a home under construction to go up in flames Tuesday afternoon.
The fire broke out at a home on Anselmo Drive about 15 minutes before 2 pm.
Firefighters say the flames spread quickly throughout the home because it was under construction.
The fire caused some of the wall of the home to collapse, meaning firefighters had to attack the flames from the outside. However, firefighters were able to get the fire out in about 10 minutes.
A roofer who was working on the home was able to get off the building quickly and was not hurt.
Firefighters say the wind was a concern, and may have caused embers to blow down the hill and ignite a fire at a home on west Fourth Street. Firefighters also able to get that knocked down quickly.

Documentaries About The Holocaust and World War II
As official records and personal stories about the Holocaust continue to come to light, documentaries serve as a vehicle for making them known to the public. There are documentaries that chronicle circumstances of horror and unfathomable human cruelty, of life in the ghettos and survival in the concentration camps. Others tell stories of Jewish resistance, of extraordinary courage and inspiration, of individuals who defied the Nazis and expresses their humanity through music and art. These documentaries are keeping knowledge of the holocaust alive, and will hopefully prevent a repeat of this devastating period in human history. Here, in alphabetical order, is a list of excellent documentaries that present important holocaust stories. Remember them on Holocaust Remembrance Day and every day!

text: In todays review of the new nVidia GeForce 7900 GS we took an in-depth look at the graphic card's capabilities and performance. We were impressed with the new card as it managed to perform at about 80% of the performance of a GeForce 7900 GT, this coupled with an estimated retail price of around 200 euro makes the card very attractive in price/performance ratios. Three manufacturers managed to supply us with their own samples of the new GeForce 7900 GS; Sparkle, Point-of-View and XFX. In this article we will try to find out which of these three is the best choice to buy at the moment.


text: At least one of the following events will take place very shortly: Tom Cable will be dislodged from the HC position; JaMarcus Russell will be dropped from the Raiders' roster. It's a tough choice when trying to decide which of these two individuals has been more disappointing, which one has done more damage to the team's ability to win. Cable's play calling and player usage clearly indicate he's in over his head - if not insane. Some players have expressed affection for this dotard but on Monday Cable said in an interview that "everyone is to blame" for this season. This is patently unfair and untrue. There is no way that Branch, Huff, Asomuga, Scott, Miller, Ellis, Gradkowski, Janikowski, Lechler, Bush, Fargas and Howard have a share in the blame for this season's 5-11 outcome. These players excelled despite the mishandling of the team's resources, game strategy, tactics, discipline, play calling, choice of players and positions and so forth. Cable's attempt to splatter the blame evenly was the act of a coward. We could have gone 8-8 but for the horrible choices Cable made in the K.C, Washington and Cleveland games. On the other hand, Russell is an amazing human specimen with regard to his physical gifts - but that's as far as it goes. In terms of his character and, perhaps, football intelligence he is unfit to lead the Raiders' offense or any other NFL team's - he, like his coach, has contributed mightily to this team's disappointing season.

Cameras show robbery at cafe•NORCROSS - Starbucks workers noticed a security camera had been moved out of position and $769 was missing from the safe when they arrived to work. Footage from the security tapes at the cafe at 1560 Indian Trail showed one of the morning deliverymen noticed the safe was not fully closed. He then stopped near it and fully opened it. Another deliveryman then moved the camera's position with a broom away from the safe, according to police reports. Another camera at a different angle showed a deliveryman removing the money from the safe. The identify of the deliverymen is not known, according to reports. Woman fends off man with knife•NORCROSS - A man pulled a knife on a woman after grabbing her and shaking her at the entrance of an apartment complex in the afternoon and then he ran away. The woman was walking with her friend at 2500 Windsor Woods Lane when a man approached her from behind and put his arms around her shoulders. She turned away from the unknown man and he grabbed her from the front and shook her, according to a police report. She pushed him off and he pulled a knife out of his pocket but then fled from the area when she threatened to call police, the report said. The woman said the man never said anything to her and described him as a short, stocky Hispanic man wearing a blue sweatshirt and dark jeans. Man arrested after weaving in traffic•NORCROSS - Officials arrested a man after watching him weave in and out of traffic while speeding on Buford Highway during rush hour. A Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice official and an officer with the Department of Homeland Security watched as the man, later identified as William Post, 41, of Alpharetta, drove down various turn lanes, weaving in traffic to pass cars before the man was pulled over, the reports said. Once pulled over, the man said he was not driving erratically but was trying to avoid a truck. The man was charged with reckless driving and sent to jail. -From staff reports

The state is ordering Waynesboro's Eagle's Nest Airport to stop pilots from landing on an unlicensed grass runway.
The airport's manager, John Trissel, says some glider pilots prefer to land on the grass strip next to the paved runway to avoid hitting lights or having teetering wings hit asphalt.
The Virginia Department of Aviation tells the airport allowing pilots to use the grass as a runway is illegal under a 2010 state law.
"We're going to have to work together to make sure the pilot is up to speed so when they come in on any conditions that they can handle the conditions a paved runway demands them to have," Trissel said.
Trissel says the state considers the grassy area next to the paved runway a safety zone.
Eagle's Nest risked losing its license as a public use airport if it allowed the landings to continue.

Chapter 3: Culture
Chapter Overview
There are 6.0 billion people on earth. While we are part of a single biological species, Homo sapiens, we are distributed around the globe in many different cultures.
Cultureis defined as the beliefs, values, behavior, and material objects that constitute a people's way of life. Sociologists differentiate between nonmaterial culture, or the intangible creations of human society, and material culture, or the tangible products of human society. Society refers to people interacting within a limited territory guided by their culture.
Sociologically, culture is viewed in the broadest possible sense -- referring to everything that is part of a people's way of life. Out lifestyles are not determined by instincts, or biological programming over which animals have no control. The fierce and warlike Yanomamo, the peace-loving Semai of Malaysia, the achievement-oriented and cooperative Japanese, and the achievement-oriented and individualistic people of the United States, all attest to the influence of culture on personality and everyday life experiences. Culture shock, or the personal disorientation accompanying exposure to an unfamiliar way of life is illustrated by anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon's first visit to the territory of the Yanomamo culture in the tropical rain forest of southern Venezuela.
We are the only species whose survival depends on what we learn through culture, rather than by what we are naturally given through biology. For a few animal species, most notably chimpanzees, a limited cultural capacity exists.
Culture and Human Intelligence The primate order among mammals, of which our species is a part, emerged some 65 million years ago. Humans diverged from our closest primate relatives -- the great apes -- some 12 million years ago. However, our common lineage remains apparent -- grasping hands, ability to walk upright, great sociability, and affectionate and long-lasting bonds for child rearing and protection.
Fossil records indicate the first creatures with clearly human characteristics lived about 3 million years ago. Our species homo sapiens (meaning thinking person) evolved a mere 250,000 years ago. Civilization -- based on permanent settlements -- has existed only for the last 12,000 years. Human culture and biological evolution are linked. Over evolutionary time, instincts have been gradually replaced by culture and our ability to fashion the natural environment.
Culture, Nation, and Society Culture refers to a shared way of life. A nation is a political entity. A society is the organized interaction of people in a nation or within some other boundary. Many societies, including the United States, are multicultural, meaning that they include various ways of life.
Even though considerable variation exists, all cultures share five components: symbols, language, values, norms, and material culture.
Symbols This component underlies the other four. A symbol is anything that carries a particular meaning recognized by people who share culture. Symbols serve as the basis for everyday reality. Symbols vary within cultures, cross-culturally, and change over time. We take much of our culture's symbols for granted. Culture shock, a two way process (both experienced and inflicted), is really the inability to "read" meaning in new surroundings.
Language The significance of language for human communication is vividly illustrated by the story of Helen Keller recounting the moment she acquired language and symbolic understanding of the world, through the help of her teacher Ann Sullivan. Language is a system of symbols that allows members of a society to communicate with one another. All cultures have a spoken language, though not all have a written language.
Language and Cultural Transmission
Cultural transmission is the process by which one generation passes culture on to the next. Oral cultural tradition has been critical throughout human history.
Is Language Uniquely Human? Among other species, communication is based on signals that are primarily instinctual. But some animals, like chimpanzees, do have rudimentary ability to use symbols to communicate. Research with the chimp Kanzi is used to illustrate.
Does Language Shape Reality? Two anthropologists of the early twentieth century, Edward Sapir and Benjamin Whorf, argued that language is more than simply attaching labels to the "real world." The Sapir-Whorf thesis holds that people perceive the world through the cultural lens of language.
Values and Beliefs Values are defined as culturally defined standards of desirability, goodness, and beauty, which serve as broad guidelines for social living. They support beliefs, or specific statements that people hold to be true.
Key Values of U.S. Culture There are several central values which are widely accepted in U.S. society. These include: equal opportunity, achievement and success, activity and work, material comfort, practicality and efficiency, progress, science, democracy and free enterprise, freedom, and racism and group superiority.
Values: Inconsistency and Conflict The values people hold vary to some degree by age, sex, race, ethnicity, religion, and social class. Individuals are likely to experience some inconsistency and conflict with their personal values. Further, the dominant values identified above contain certain basic contradictions. Finally, values change over time.
Values In Action: The Games People Play Sociologist James Spates has studied how children's games, like King of the Mountain and Tag, provide experiences for children which stress basic U.S. values. Lessons are learned about what our culture defines as important, like competition.
Norms Norms are rules and expectations by which a society guides the behavior of its members. Norms can change over time, as illustrated by norms regarding sexual behavior.
Mores and Folkways Norms vary in terms of their degree of importance. Mores refer to a society's standards of proper moral conduct. Folkways are a society's customs for routine, casual interaction.
Social Control Norms are reinforced through sanctions, which take the form of either rewards or punishments. Through socialization we internalize cultural norms and impose constraints on our own behavior. We may then experience guilt -- the negative judgment we make of ourselves for having violated a norm -- and shame -- the disturbing acknowledgement of others' disapproval.
"Ideal" and "Real" Culture Values and norms are not descriptions of actual behavior, but rather reflect how we believe members of a culture should behave. Therefore, it becomes necessary to distinguish between ideal culture, or social patterns mandated by cultural values and norms, and real culture, designated by actual social patterns that only approximate cultural expectations.
Material Culture and Technology
Material and nonmaterial culture are closely related. Artifacts, or material objects that society creates, express the values of a culture. For instance, the Yanomamo value militaristic skill, and devote great care to making weapons. In the U.S. we value independence and individuality, and express this in part with our love affair with the automobile. Material culture also reflects a culture's technology, which is knowledge that a society applies to the task of living in a physical environment.
New Information Technology and Culture The U.S., along with some other societies, has entered a postindustrial phase of economic development. The information economy being created changes the skills that dominate our way of life.
We are a land of many peoples, given the many immigrants who have come to the United States over the past 150 years. Today, the majority of newcomers are from Latin America or Asia.
High Culture and Popular Culture Not all cultural patterns are equally accessible to all members of society. High culture refers to cultural patterns that distinguish a society's elite, while popular culture designates cultural patterns widespread among a society's people.
Subculture Sociologists define subculture as cultural patterns that set apart some segment of a society's population. Subcultures can be based on age, ethnicity, residence, sexual preference, occupation, and many other factors.
Globally, ethnicity is perhaps the most recognized dimension with which to identify cultural diversity. While the United States is considered by many to be a melting pot, great diversity still exists, and is perhaps increasing. However, hierarchy, not merely variety is typically involved.
Multiculturalism Multiculturalism is an educational program recognizing the cultural diversity of the United States and promoting equality of all cultural traditions. The "singular pattern" focus in our culture is called Eurocentrism, the dominance of European (particularly English) cultural patterns. An alternative pattern currently being developed by some multiculturalists to counter these biases is called Afrocentrism, or dominance of African cultural patterns.
Multiculturalists suggest that their perspective will help us develop a more meaningful understanding of our own past, the ethnic diversity of our present, and strengthen the academic achievements of African American children.
Critics argue that multiculturalism fuels "politics of difference." They question whether such an orientation benefits minorities, and are concerned about its potential for limiting political and economic freedom.
Should our nation stress cultural diversity or the common elements of our people? How do we strike a balance within the Latin phrase E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one)? For example, should English be designated as the official language of the United States?
Counterculture A counterculture is defined as cultural patterns that strongly oppose conventional culture. Members of countercultures are likely to question the morality of the majority group and engage in some form of protest activities. The Ku Klux Klan is an example of a counterculture in our society.
Cultural Change Cultural change is continuous, though its rate may vary greatly. Cultural integration, or the close relationship among various elements of a cultural system, is a concept relating to the connections between dimensions of culture.
Cultural Lag
Cultural lag describes the fact that cultural elements change at different rates, which may disrupt a cultural system.
Causes of Cultural Change Cultural change is set into motion by three different causes, invention, discovery, and diffusion. There are illustrations for each presented.
Ethnocentrism and Cultural Relativity Ethnocentrism is the practice of judging another culture by the standards of one's own culture. It creates a biased evaluation of unfamiliar practices. Cultural relativity refers to the practice of evaluating any culture by its own standards. The issue of cultural sensitivity related to U.S. business ventures overseas is discussed.
A Global Culture? Are we witnessing the birth of a global culture? Global connections involve the flow of goods, information, and people. However, this global culture thesis has limitations, including: the flow of goods, information, and people is uneven, it cannot be assumed that people everywhere want and can afford various goods and services, and while certain cultural traits are found universally around the world, it should not be assumed that the meanings attached to them are the same.
Structural-Functional Analysis Research using this approach draws on the philosophical doctrine of idealism, which holds that ideas are the basis of human reality. Cultures are understood as organized systems devised to meet human needs. Therefore, cultural universals, or traits found in every culture of the world, are looked for and studied. One example of a cultural universal is the family. This approach operates at the macro-level, holding that cultural traits are to be understood in terms of how they function to maintain the overall cultural system. George Peter Murdock has identified dozens of universal traits.
A critical analysis of this approach reveals that while providing significant insights into how cultures are organized systems which attempt to meet human needs, it perhaps underestimates the extent of cultural diversity within and between cultures, and downplays the extent to which societies change.
Social-Conflict Analysis The focus among researchers using this paradigm is the social conflict generated by inequality among different categories of people in a culture. Karl Marx, using the philosophical doctrine of materialism, argued that the way we deal with the material world (in our case through capitalism) powerfully affects all other dimensions of our culture, for example, our values. Theorists using this approach ask: Why are certain values dominant in a given culture?
A critical evaluation of this approach suggests that while it provides insights into structural inequalities and processes of social change within a cultural system, it minimizes a sense about the integrative properties found within these same systems.
Sociobiology Sociobiology is a theoretical paradigm that explores ways in which human biology affects how we create culture. Sociologists argue that Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, which is based on a four stage process, applies to human evolution as it does to all other species. The four stages include reproduction within the natural environment, random variability in genes within the species, different survival odds for an organism based on its individual genetic characteristics, and changes in the frequencies of particular genes within a species over time. In this way a species adapts to its environment.
This approach has been criticized, based on historical patterns, of supporting racism and sexism. Further, to date, there is lack of scientific proof of their assertions.
Culture As Constraint While being dependent on culture and constrained by our particular way of life, the capacity for creating change, or shaping and reshaping our existence, appears limitless. Culture is a liberating force to the extent we develop an understanding of its complexity and the opportunities available within it for change and autonomy.
Culture As Freedom The burden of culture is freedom. Through evolution, culture has become our means of survival. Cultural diversity in our society is significant, and is ever-changing.

£100k bill to repair landslip on Wensleydale Railway
8:20pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Janet Gleeson
VOLUNTEERS are facing a £100,000 bill to put a heritage railway back on track for the second time in a year.
A huge landslip forced the closure of part of the Wensleydale Railway last October and it's just been revealed that repairs will cost far more than the original £40,000 estimate.
It's the latest blow after the line hit the buffers last year when major repairs had to be carried out in the same area at Akebar, between Bedale and Leyburn.
With just three full time staff the railway group relies on volunteers and funds raised from trips along the 16 mile line which passes through some of the most scenic countryside in the Yorkshire Dales.
General manager Nigel Park said: "Despite an appeal for help to our landlords, Network Rail, we have been left to fix this problem on our own.
"The Wensleydale Railway is very fortunate in that it has skilled and committed people to tackle these issues and I am pleased to say that work has now started and we intend to have the line open for Easter.
"Of course there is a cost, estimated at not far short of £100,000, and we will have to find that over the next four to five months.
"We really could have done without this, we are making big plans for this year with the Tour de France. But Network Rail would simply abandon the line and we ain't about to let that happen. So we're carrying on and getting the work done.
"The embankment has given way underneath the track and there is a lot to do but we plan to have the line open for April 14."
Built originally in the 1850's, the passenger service was lost in the 1950's.
But freight traffic taking limestone to Teesside ensured it carried on, backed by army traffic transporting tanks.
In 2003 volunteers performed the Herculean task of reopening the line for passenger traffic and it's gone from strength to strength.
Wensleydale Railway is planning to launch a public appeal and in the meantime will run limited services with a special event for Valentine's Day.
Over half term trains will operate, but fares will be abandoned and donations invited. Further information is on www.wensleydalerailway.com

MONTESANO — Grays Harbor Superior Court Judge Gordon Godfrey has dismissed a hostile workplace lawsuit by a former Grays Harbor Community Hospital worker, who had alleged discrimination at the Aberdeen-based hospital based on his age and sex and says he was forced to leave his job after a fight with a supervisor.
The lawsuit was filed by Roger A. Lane, who was employed as a diabetes nurse educator at the hospital until he resigned on March 10, 2010, and moved to New Mexico with his wife. He filed the lawsuit in March of last year and the hospital won the case on summary judgment in December.
Now, Lane may be on the hook for as much as $8,000 in attorney costs for bringing the lawsuit forward.
The lawsuit says that Lane's supervisor spent more than a year "engaged in a pattern of conduct directed at plaintiff that was physically threatening, humiliating, hostile and unwelcomed."
The lawsuit cites one instance in February of 2009, where the supervisor "yelled at plaintiff loudly, while red faced and veins protruding from her neck." The "outburst was so loud that other employees went to plaintiff's office to check on his personal safety. … Patients from a waiting room 50 feet away asked if everyone was OK" and Lane "was forced to meet with those patients immediately following (the) tirade, causing him great personal embarrassment."
The lawsuit alleged that the hospital was "directly liable for its negligence in supervising Peterson and in its failure to remedy the hostile work environment."
He asked for damages to be proven at trial.
Court records show that attorneys for the hospital, represented by Seattle-based law firm Soha & Lang, tried to work out an arrangement out of court, but when nothing could be settled, they filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit completely.
Attorneys argued that, in this case, Lane had two years to bring forward a legal complaint, not the standard three.
The lawsuit notes that the age-discrimination claims are nonsense since Lane is seven years younger than his former supervisor and the sex discrimination makes little sense since Lane worked in an office with many women and never complained about discrimination.
"It is undisputed that Lane experienced no adverse employment action as a result of his February 2009 argument," the attorneys for the hospital state, adding that he was never terminated nor demoted and, in fact, "continued to receive positive reviews" from his supervisor.
"In addition, the February 2009 argument did not relate in anyway to Lane's age or sex," the attorneys state. "To the contrary, the argument was, instead, about the unfortunate impact of budget constraints."
The attorneys note that all of the employees did go into mediation before Lane resigned. And the hospital never received a grievance from Lane's union about the situation.
"No reasonable person could conclude that (the supervisor's) alleged yelling at Lane about 'office travel' was 'atrocious' or 'utterly intolerable' for a civilized society," the hospital attorneys state, citing the requirements needed for a successful claim.
In the end, Judge Godfrey agreed that the lawsuit should be dismissed and attorney fees for the hospital awarded, citing law that states: "Plantiff's action was frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, even though not brought in subjective bad faith."
The lawsuit was dismissed on Dec. 23 and on Dec. 31, the hospital came back and requested attorney fees of $8,000.

KARACHI: The Pakistani Taliban on Thursday claimed credit for a bomb blast that killed twelve policemen on a bus, the latest in a series of near-daily attacks since the government called for peace talks with militants.
The explosion, which wounded almost 60 others, comes as Pakistan has been negotiating with the Taliban to end their seven-year insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives. Senior police officials initially said the early morning blast was a suicide attack in which a small Suzuki van had smashed into the police bus. But Raja Umer Khatab, chief of the city's counter-terrorism unit, later said the van had been parked on the hard shoulder along the bus's route and was remotely detonated when the two vehicles were side by side.
Shahid Nadeem Baloch, police chief for Sindh, confirmed the bomb was remotely detonated, adding the death toll was 12. Doctor Semi Jamali at Karachi's Jinnah hospital said 58 people were injured — both police on the bus and civilian passers-by. Nine of the injured police were in critical condition. The attack happened in an eastern district of Karachi near the national highway. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah announced compensation of two million rupees for families of the victims, and free medical treatment for the injured.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told AFP it was a revenge attack for the killing of militants. "We carried out the attack against the police because they are killing our people," he said over the telephone from an undisclosed location. "Our defensive war will continue until an agreement is reached on a ceasefire" between negotiation teams representing the government and the Taliban. The Pakistani Taliban have recently stepped up their campaign against security forces in Karachi, assassinating so-called "super cop" Chaudhry Aslam earlier this year.
The attack was the 11th since Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced talks on January 29 and said he wants to "give peace another chance". Provincial officials vowed the bombing would not deter their campaign to root out criminals and terrorists. "We are investigating this attack from all angles ...The forces will not be demoralised and will work more aggressively," said Sharjeel Memon, Sindh information minister.
Pakistan has endured a bloody start to the year with 114 people killed in attacks in January, according to an AFP tally. More than 60 people have died in militant violence since Nawaz announced the talks. On Wednesday militants stormed a house of anti-Taliban activists and shot dead nine men in Peshawar. On Tuesday a triple grenade attack on a cinema in Peshawar killed 13 people. Both government and militants says they are serious about peace talks but analysts remain sceptical about their chances of success.
Past agreements between the Taliban and the army have proved to be short-lived. In 2009 the army launched a full-fledged offensive in Swat, after a two-year local peace deal with the Taliban broke down there. The hardliners had executed men and flogged women in public during their time in control of the area.
The Pakistani Taliban announced on Wednesday an "armed struggle" against an indigenous tribe and Ismailis in the picturesque northern Chitral Valley, calling on Sunnis to support their cause in a video. The Taliban's 50-minute long video released on February 2 on their media wing's website opens with a scenic view of the mountainous valley. The narrator warns the Kalash, who are thought to number only 3,500, to convert to Islam or face death. "By the grace of Allah, an increasing number of people from the Kalash tribe are embracing Islam and we want to make it clear to the Kalash tribe that they will be eliminated along with their protectors, the Western agents if they don't embrace Islam," he says. The video also accuses international NGOs of creating an "Israel" like state in Chitral by attempting to protect the Kalash culture and take people away from Islam, and vows to foil their plans.

Hi All,
Here's a bit from God of Surprises by Gerard W. Hughes that I have found helpful recently
Face the fears that haunt you
In Jungian language, 'Face your shadow.' Fear, like guilt, is a healthy human reaction to danger which is threatening. If we refuse to face the fear, the fear may become a ruthless tyrant pervading and poisoning every aspect of our lives. Once faced, the fears often turn out to be illusory, a truth vividly illustrated in a dream which someone shared with me while I was giving him the Spiritual Exercises. I shall call the dreamer 'Tom'.
It began as a nightmare. Tom was in a dark jungle, alone and unarmed, but there were threatening figures lurking in the shadows. He knew that the locality was called 'Recife', although at the time of the dream he had no idea where 'Recife', was. As he could not defend himself, he decided to try and befriend the threatening figures, some of whom vanished, while others proved friendly and protected him fro the rest of his journey. Later, reflecting on the dream, he saw the pun on the word 'Recife', which was saying to him, '"Receive" those things in your life of which you are afraid and befriend them.' He began to look at some of the fears in his life and discovered that some vanished, while others turned out to be sources of strength. One of the most constant refrains in the Old Testament and in the New is 'Do not be afraid'. God, in Christ, has overcome all the powers of evil and destruction. God is the God of surprises who can turn even the evil we have done, and the evil done to us, into the very means of our salvation. The Church at Easter sings a beautiful poem which begins with the Latin word 'Exsultet', meaning 'Rejoice', and includes the phrase, 'O felix culpa', meaning 'O happy fault', and goes on to give the reason, 'O necessary sin of Adam, which gained for us so great a Redeemer'.
A very good way of facing our fears is to reveal them to someone we can trust who will listen and will accept us as we are. Having put the fear into words and given it a name, it no longer has such power over us…


text: I am sure your all going to think I am crazy by the time I am done with this post. The season will turn around in week 4 against the Jets. The reason has everything to do with me (such a narcissist). See, I moved to New England in 1996. Since that time for the most part the team has not been good except for the short Flutie stretch. We all know how that ended. Anyway, I have not been to the Ralp (Rich Stadium way back in those days) since I moved to New England. At which point New England started winning. Well in week 4 for the first time in a long long time I am coming home for a game. This marks the turning point for Chan Gailey and the Bills. By the way give the ball to Fred Jackson! 30 times in Jackson's hands per game.

Michael Martin has 11 News online.
It is no secret that times are tough for people who are looking for job opportunities for felons. The job market has become very competitive for everyone. So when felons are looking for job opportunities, they need to make sure that they are ready to compete with all the other people who also want those jobs. This is why they have put together this list of tips to help inform ex convicts on how to prepare for the job market and how to find job opportunities for felons.
Job Opportunities for Felons: How to Prepare for the Job Market
Expungement – Felons should find out if they can get their felony expunged from their record. They can do this by consulting a lawyer and finding out.
Background checks – most employers will now do background checks. Before applying for a job, felons should know what information will turn up when someone does a background check on them.
Resume – prepare a professional-looking resume. It is suggested that mention of the felony not be in the resume at all.
What to wear – jobs for felons are not that common so when one is found, dress the part. When called on for an interview, ask them what should be worn. Suits are a must for corporate jobs. For others, business casual attire might be more appropriate. That means wearing a collared shirt and slacks or khakis for men. Women should wear a blouse or sweater with a skirt or slacks.
Job interview strategies – it's best to be honest because most employers do background checks. When asked about the past, express regret for mistakes that have been made. However, emphasis should be on having moved on and become a different and better person.
How to Find Job Opportunities for Felons:
Internet job boards – do an internet search for the type of companies that hire felons.
Organizations – although there isn't one national organization that helps find jobs that hire felons, there are some that can help you. Call the state employment agency and ask about any programs or resources that can help with job opportunities for felons.
Friends and family –friends and family might be able to help a felon find a good job. Give them a call but don't ask them for a job. It's not likely that they themselves will be able to give a felon a job unless they own a large business.
However, they can still help by:
Due to the high unemployment rates nationally and the lack of job for felons, many people find themselves settling for jobs which are not what they want. Although this is not exactly ideal, it is still better than having a long history of unemployment.
For ex-felons who really want to better themselves and get the best job opportunities for felons, building a good work history is very important. Consider this: virtually no employer will take a chance on an ex-offender who got out of jail three years ago and has not had any jobs since. On the other hand, an ex-felon with a solid work history will be able to apply for better job opportunities for felons. Being patient and staying working hard is ideal in looking for job opportunities for felons.

Charges have still not been filed against the two teens suspected of kidnapping 3-month-old Saydi Brooklyn Mendez.
The teens appeared before a Hockley County judge Monday afternoon. The judge decided the teens should be detained for ten more days before any decision is made.
Authorities arrested a 15-year-old female and 16-year-old male in the parking lot of the Levelland Wal-Mart last Thursday, an hour and a half after an Amber Alert was issued. The baby was found safe inside a car.

Many Thanks
First of all thank you very much for all your answers, they have been of great help. Second, I'm having another problem, I can not make the portfolio look exactly as you put in the sample.
In your sample, when you click on portfolio you can see a list of images (I assume the items are the ones created in the "project" section, right?), how do I do that? I see that you show two options, a larger image other smaller images. In menu section I do not have the option to add "the projects" or "porfolio" to display a list of my portfolio items.
I also have a similar problem with the blog section. In what section of the theme I have to create bolg entries?
I hope your answer, thank you very much and apologies for the inconvenience.
For Portfolio page you have to create the page and from template (right bottom corner) select the template portfolio. The same with the blog.
Congrats it's really a nice theme. Everything is ok for me except one thing , i dont know how to add a thumbnail for each project located in the Portfolio area… I've tried to use the featured image part and add my .Jpeg inside the HTML of my post but anything is showing up Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
For projects you have to add it from dasboard left sidebar menu -> Projects, click on Add New. Add the title and the content, add the thumbnail as featured image.
Take a look at Prometheus video tutorial, the projects are the same: http://alexgurghis.com/themes/prometheus/template-pages/video-tutorials/#prometheus_projects
Thank you in advance for the videos, AWSOME ! one little issue when i am creating a new page, I do not have the page options. – One more thing the fancy box widget it doesn't work – I installed the plugging but still no working.
Alex, thank you in advance for all your help , please help.
Those videos are created fo Prometheus Theme so some feature may be missing, like page options. The fancybox is integrated.
When I use the code tags for a bullet list the page doesn't recognize them properly. The bullets show up but there is no pagination for the code. So if the bullets are towards the end the bullets will overlap into the bottom of the page or if there is text below the bullets will overlap into the text.
Try to add the list inside of list
The class for lists is "lists" not "bullets": http://alexgurghis.com/themes/aventador/miscellaneous/styled-lists/
Awesome, thanks. I have a different question. Is there a way to make certain pages full width that are set by default to have the sidebars? For instance, the projects page has space for the sidebars, what if I want full width?
I have initiated the "Projects" on the home page. I added images and text. They show up initially on the home page but each time I come back to the Home Page or refresh the page only 1-2 of the pictures show up. Each time it is random but never do all of the 4 images show up at once like they are supposed to and like they do on your sample page.
Can you provide a link? I have to see to come with a solution.
Sorry if it's been asked but I'm having trouble getting any changes I make in the flexslider's order to stick. I can set the flag to true for random and it takes and I can specify the slide to start on but I'd like my client to have the drag and drop ordering working. Great theme – thanks. ~Mike
I'm sorry but I can't make the flexSLider to be drag and drop.
Hello, Where would I edit the code to make the Flex Slider rotate at a faster rate. I know I have to use 1000 milliseconds but where could I edit this so it goes faster. Thanks.
There is a js option that control the flexslider speed: slideshowSpeed: 7000, but I'm not sure where to place it.
Hey there,
Just purchased theme, everything seems to be going smoothly so far. a few little things here and there, but I have figured them out. Yet one thing I cannot figure out is: on a page dedicated to a product. There is the Tabbed area with information. The First being: Description, then a bold title of Product Description. Second Tab is Reviews, bold title of Reviews. Is it possible to add another tab? one with additional features, where i can just put some bullet points? Thanks,

My favicon is not working. What can I do? I'd tried on the "Aventador e-Commerce Settings" but is not working.
Thanks a lot.
Any case anyone was wondering, if you wanted to add multiple images the current CSS doesn't specify anything for them. It just gives them the same size and your product image. Add the following code so that you can have the thumbnails underneath without it exploding your side. If anyone needs help w/ this theme don't hesitate to ask. I know Alex is getting overloaded with it all. I've managed this beast including the Jigoshop styles.
div.product div.images div.thumbnails img { width: 46px; height: 46px; }
Thank you ricone for help.
No Problem. Also, I went in and changed your contact form. The way it was sending using the
mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
was sending the mail from the actual server. so the email was showing up as username@servername. Mine was doing it at firstname.lastname@example.com or whatever it was. I went in and changed that to
wp_mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
and it seems to fixed the problem. Love the template tho. Its great. Keep up good work.

Evolution and Systematics
Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
Members of Vibrio fisheri bacterial colonies synchronize bioluminescent light production via a cell-to-cell signalling mechanism known as quorum sensing.
"Although this species can be found in open seawater, it also occupies an unusual ecological niche; V. fischeri is a symbiont, which colonizes the light-producing organ of certain marine fish and squid…Although the potential benefits to the host of having a mobile biological 'light bulb' are superficially obvious (attracting prey, repelling predators etc.), the question of precisely how V. fischeri produces light, and why this only occurs at high cell densities, occupied researchers for several years. The problem was all-the-more intriguing since the bacteria within the light organ apparently coordinate their efforts to produce light; the transition to light production is sharp, and involves a concerted effort on behalf of the whole population. A key breakthrough came when Hastings and colleagues discovered that cell–cell signalling lies at the heart of this remarkable biological switch.12,13" (Welch et al. 2005:197)

Aliivibrio fischeri
Aliivibrio fischeri is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium found globally in marine environments.[1] A. fischeri has bioluminescent properties, and is found predominantly in symbiosis with various marine animals, such as the bobtail squid. It is heterotrophic and moves by means of flagella. Free-living A. fischeri survive on decaying organic matter (see saprotroph). The bacterium is a key research organism for examination of microbial bioluminescence, quorum sensing, and bacterial-animal symbiosis.[2] It is named in honor of Bernhard Fischer, a German microbiologist. [3]
rRNA comparison led to the reclassification of this species from genus Vibrio to the newly created Aliivibrio in 2007.[4]
Planktonic A. fischeri are found in very low quantities (almost undetectable) in almost all oceans of the world, preferentially found in temperate and subtropical waters. These free-living A. fischeri subsist on organics within the water. They are found in higher concentrations in symbiosis with certain deep sea life within special light organs; or as part of the normal enteral (gut) microbiota of marine animals.[1]
Symbiotic relationship[edit]
Symbiotic relationships in monocentrid fishes and sepiolid squid appear to have evolved separately. The most prolific of these relationships is with the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes).
Free-living A. fischeri in the ocean inoculate the light organs of juvenile squid and fish. Ciliated cells within the light organs selectively draw in the symbiotic bacteria. These cells promote the growth of the symbionts and actively reject any competitors. The bacteria cause these cells to die off once the light organ is sufficiently colonised.
The light organ of certain squid contain reflective plates that intensify and direct the light produced, due to proteins known as reflectins. They regulate the light to keep the squid from casting a shadow on moonlit nights, for example. Sepolid squids expel 90% of the symbiotic bacteria in its light organ each morning in a process known as "venting". Venting is hypothesised to provide the free-living inoculum source for newly hatched squids.
The bioluminescence of A. fischeri is caused by transcription of the Lux operon, induced by population-dependent quorum sensing.[1] The luminescence is seen only when population density reaches a certain level. The luminescence appears to follow a circadian rhythm. That is, it is brighter during the nighttime than during the daytime. Bioluminescence levels have also been shown to be proportionally related to both protection against ultraviolet radiation damage to genes and the pathogenicity of bioluminescent A. fischeri.
Genetics of bioluminescence[edit]
The bacterial luciferin-luciferase system is encoded by a set of genes labelled the Lux operon. In A. fischeri, five such genes (LuxCDABE) have been identified as active in the emission of visible light, and two genes (LuxR and LuxI) are involved in regulating the operon. Several external and intrinsic factors appear to induce and inhibit the transcription of this gene set and produce or suppress light emission. More research is being done to improve our understanding of these processes.
The bioluminescent, Gram-negative bacterium Aliivibrio fischeri is one of many species of bacteria that commonly form symbiotic relationships with marine organisms (Distal, 1993). Marine organisms contain bacteria that use bioluminescence so they can find mates, ward off predators, attract prey, or communicate with other organisms (Widder, 2010). In return, the organism the bacteria are living within provides the bacteria with a nutrient-rich environment (Winfrey et al., 1997). The lux operon is a 9-kilobase fragment of the A. fischeri genome that controls bioluminescence through the catalyzation of the enzyme luciferase (Meighen, 1991). The lux operon has a known gene sequence of luxCDAB(F)E, where lux A and lux B code for the components of luciferase, and the lux CDE codes for a fatty acid reductase complex that makes the fatty acids necessary for the luciferase mechanism (Meighen, 1991). Lux C codes for the enzyme acyl-reductase, lux D codes for acyl-transferase, and lux E makes the proteins needed for the enzyme acyl-protein synthetase. Luciferase produces blue/green light through the oxidation of reduced flavin mononucleotide and a long-chain aldehyde by diatomic oxygen. The reaction is summarized below (Silverman et al., 1984): FMNH2+O2+R-CHO → FMN + R-COOH + H2O + Light
The reduced flavinmononucleotide (FMNH) is provided by the fre gene, also referred to as LuxG. In A.fischeri, it is directly next to LuxE (giving LuxCDABE-fre) from 1042306 to 1048745 [1]
To generate the aldehyde needed in the reaction above, three additional enzymes are needed. The fatty acids needed for the reaction are pulled out from the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway by the enzyme acyl-transferase. Acyl-transferase reacts with acyl-ACP to release R-COOH, a free fatty acid. R-COOH is reduced by a two-enzyme system to an adehyde. The reaction is shown below: R-COOH+ATP+NADPH→ R-CHO+AMP+PP+NADP+ (Winfrey et al., 1997). Although the lux operon encodes the enzymes necessary for the bacteria to glow, bioluminescence is regulated by autoinduction. An autoinducer is a transcriptional promoter of the enzymes necessary for bioluminescence. Before the glow can be luminized, a certain concentration of an autoinducer must be present. So, for bioluminescence to occur, high colony concentrations of A. fischeri should be present in the organism (Winfrey et al., 1997).

Great Awakening Radio
This little-known band made a brief impression in 1969 with an outstanding instrumental version of GÇÿAmazing GraceGÇÖ, long before Judy Collins popularized the song. The mantra-like fuzz guitar added a spiritual quality that was missing from later versions. So little was known of the group that they were often referred to as Amazing Grace, and the song as GÇÿThe Great AwakeningGÇÖ! For years it was thought that the man responsible was guitarist David Cohen from Country Joe And The Fish; others suggested it was by members of the Band. Later it was discovered that it was a different David Cohen, helped out by Joe Osborn (bass) and Jimmy Gordon (drums). The latter Cohen has worked as session guitarist for Bobby Darin, Tim Hardin and Frank Sinatra.Portions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

As she writes, "home furniture, clothing, food all become sites of investigation in an ongoing endeavor to better understand human nature and the social construction of needs."
Modern Works from the Collection
03/28/15 – 10/03/15 - McCormick Gallery
Palm Springs Art Museum
This new installation of modern works presents the museum's foundational art collection, giving the history of international modern art equal weight to the museum's impressive contemporary collection in the Steve Chase Wing galleries. By dedicating one of the museum's principal exhibition wings to works by some of the most recognizable and influential twentieth-century artists in Europe and the Americas, this installation provides visitors with an introduction to the finest representations of modernist aesthetics. In addition, it affords a larger cultural context within which to assess of the region's well-known history of mid-century architecture and design. The museum's art collection began with a group of famous and significant national collectors who had winter residences in the Palm Springs area, including Joseph H. Hirshhorn, Lenore and Walter Annenberg, Walter N. Marks, Lionel Bauman, Seymour Oppenheimer, and Ted Weiner. Under the leadership of director Frederick W. Sleight in the 1960s, these collectors solicited friends and artists for significant donations of modern art in reponse to the museum's newly-focused interest in fine art. During this period, they donated work by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Milton Avery, Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Loren Feitelson, and Hans Burkhardt, providing a core of important works by recognizable masters.
