US factory orders up 0.8 percent in OctoberBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press | December 06,2012AP PHOTO
Employees work at a shipping area of Generac Power Systems, Inc., in Whitewater, Wis., Friday. Orders to U.S. factories rose modestly in October, helped by a big gain in demand for equipment that reflects business investment plans. Factory orders edged up 0.8 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.WASHINGTON Orders to U.S. factories rose modestly in October, helped by a big gain in demand for equipment that reflects business investment plans.
Factory orders edged up 0.8 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. The increase slowed from a 4.5 percent jump in September.
Orders for core capital goods, a category viewed as a good proxy for business investment plans, increased 2.9 percent in October, the biggest increase in eight months. That represented an upward revision from an initial estimate of 1.7 percent. The increase came after big declines in the investment category this summer.
Orders for durable goods rose 0.5 percent in October, up from a preliminary estimate of no gain, while orders for nondurable goods, items such as chemicals and paper, were up 1.1 percent.
Businesses have been holding back on investment plans because they are worried about the fiscal cliff. Thats the name for sharp tax increases and federal spending cuts that will take effect in January if Congress and the Obama administration do not reach a budget deal by then to avert them.
There is also more caution because of slower growth overseas and Europes debt crisis. Those developments have cut into U.S. exports and corporate profits.
The 2.9 percent rise in orders for core capital goods in October was the biggest one-month gain since a similar increase last February. It followed a 0.5 percent drop in September and marked only the second advance in the past five months.
U.S. manufacturing shrank in November to the weakest level since July 2009, according to a survey released Monday by the Institute for Supply Management. Worries about automatic tax increases in the New Year cut demand for factory orders and manufacturing jobs.
Consumers may also be getting nervous about higher taxes. Economists cited the fiscal cliff as a key reason consumer spending fell in October by the most since May.
When consumers cut back on spending, businesses typically reduce their pace of restocking. Both trends are expected to slow economic growth at the end of the year.
The economy grew from July through September at an annual rate of 2.7 percent, largely because of strong growth in inventories. Most economists predict growth is slowing in the current October-December quarter to a rate below 2 percent.
However, many economists believe growth will pick up in 2013 if Washington is able to resolve its budget dispute without inflicting serious harm on the economy.
Many economists also say that the economy will receive a boost from continued gains in housing construction and from stronger consumer spending that will reflect increases in employment.MORE IN National / World BusinessCHICAGO The parent company of the Chicago Sun-Times announced Friday it has sold six daily...

Aldermen approve holiday curfew change
Little ghosts and goblins will get an extra half hour of trick-or-treating time this year, after town officials moved the customary curfew time back from 7:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The first whistle will blow at 7:30 p.m. as a warning of the final whistle at 8.
Town officials noted that Daylight Savings Time will not end until after Halloween this year. It is still light at 5 p.m., delaying the start of the spooky holiday.
In a divided vote on Tuesday, the town of Tunica Board of Aldermen approved lending support to a bill proposed by the Mississippi Municipal League that would give citizens of a municipality the option to vote on a local sales tax. Called the Citizens for Economic Development Act, the bill will be submitted to the Legislature for action in the 2013 session. The revenue raised through the local sales tax would be designated for specific economic development projects.

Square is the heart of town
12:22pm Friday 24th October 2014
THERE used to be a zeal for things happening in Fairford's Town Square.
Local plan clarification
12:20pm Friday 24th October 2014
AFTER spending considerable time and effort producing a detailed response for your newspaper in the light of the Planning Inspector's decision to allow new development in Fairford, I was dismayed to read your coverage of the issue (Free rein for home builders – Standard, October 16).
Messages are misunderstood
1:27pm Friday 17th October 2014
I READ with interest of the misunderstanding that occurred concerning the support or otherwise of Cllr Nigel Robbins for Mr Jupp in respect to the proposed change of bus route through the Beeches Estate (Standard letters, October 9).
Water park is accident spot
1:25pm Friday 17th October 2014
FOLLOWING the tragic and fatal accident on the road outside Cotswold Water Park and Beach, may I urge you to consider putting in place some measures to help make this area safer for the increasing number of people who use this area.
No need for white elephants
1:23pm Friday 17th October 2014
UNLIKE myself with 11 years on the Cotswold District Council Planning Committee, Cllr Paul Hodgkinson has never had much interest in CDC Planning at grass roots level.
Play places are still important

T E BENNETT's letter (Standard, October 9) on behalf of FROTH (Friends of the Humpty Dumps) contained a definite message.
Does anyone care any more?
1:15pm Friday 17th October 2014
I HAVE lived in Cirencester all my life, some 60 years and I can officially confirm that the Romans were far better at building roads than we are today.
Give businesses a say in matters
1:13pm Friday 17th October 2014
THE Boston Tea Party happened because the colonial British government of America wanted to place a tax on the citizens of the American colonial states but without giving them representation in the British parliament Something similar is happening in Malmesbury, where we may be asked to vote on the adoption of a local plan. However, these plans equally affect local business that have no say in the decision making, in fact may affect them more Businesses pay business rates out of all proportion to the regular council tax payer and yet get no benefit from their business rates. They have already paid separately as individuals for the service such as education, roads, police, fire service etc.
Regulations are totally idiotic
1:11pm Friday 17th October 2014
I AM writing to you as I have been trying to understand any logic that may have taken place in respect of the decisions made by the local council in respect of the new Malmesbury Waitrose store. They have had to install barriers to gain entrance and to exit the store.

Different set of driving criteria
11:36am Friday 10th October 2014
I CANNOT understand the report regarding the fatal crash at Birdlip on A417 (Standard, October 2).
Let us in on the mailing secrets
11:34am Friday 10th October 2014
EARLY last month a Royal Mail sticker appeared on one of our two post boxes in Somerford Keynes – and doubtless on rural boxes throughout the Cotswolds and the rest of the Country – to tell us that "From September 15, 2014 the final collection will be made no earlier than 9am Monday to Friday and no earlier than 7am on Saturday." Interpreting this as no second collection, people who need a later collection have been scurrying off to post boxes in Cirencester.
Village green is really important
11:33am Friday 10th October 2014
ON BEHALF of FROTH (Friends of the Humpty Dumps) I would like to thank the Standard (September 25) for the coverage of our efforts to have the Humpty Dumps designated a Village Green, however I would just like to rectify a misquote.
No room for extra people
1:08pm Friday 3rd October 2014
I WOULD like to congratulate Lord Bathurst for his preparedness to confront the issue of the massive housing development that he is promoting as reported in the Standard of September 18. His responses thus enable one to question various assumptions he makes. The very first of these in the opening paragraphs of your report highlights his blinkered views. He seems to think that as 200 families have lived happily in Chesterton for 30 years then it will be no big difference if this is scaled up to 2,500 families. This is a Gilbertian leap in logic that many might find somewhat difficult to follow.
Clarity needed over housing
1:07pm Friday 3rd October 2014
THE Standard published a full page interview with Lord Bathurst in the edition of September 18.
Winning tickets were a joy
11:47am Friday 19th September 2014
THANK you very much for sending me two tickets for the Frampton Country Fair, courtesy of the Standard, which I won in their recent draw. My wife and I very much enjoyed the show which we thought was excellent.
Thanks knights of the road
11:46am Friday 19th September 2014
I WISH to thank all the kind people who offered their help when my car broke down at the Spitalgate traffic lights on Thursday evening (September 11) including the lady jogger who broke her run to come back and check if I was OK.
Time to cut down speeds
11:44am Friday 19th September 2014
I FEEL so strongly regarding the speeds that are now commonplace in my part of Tetbury (Romney Road, Wheat Hill, Elizabeth Gardens, Wisteria Road and Windsor Road) and I wish something could be done about it.
We must not lose this centre
11:42am Friday 19th September 2014
A RECENT visit to see the New Brewery Arts commemoration of the start of the First World War proved once more what a splendid centre of culture we have in Cirencester.
'Median' does mean 'mean'
11:34am Friday 12th September 2014
WE READ in this week's edition of the Standard that Cotswold District Council is challenging research done by the BBC. The article tells us that Cllr Sue Jepson said the CDC research revealed a mean wage in the Cotswolds of more than £25,000, not the £18,000 claimed by the BBC. However, CDC is not comparing like with like. She said on their website, of the BBC, "They claim that the mean average wage is just over £18,000 but detailed studies we carried out... showed that the median earned income for full time employees was over £25,000."
Water needs proper debate
11:33am Friday 12th September 2014
IN RESPONSE to the latest letter (September 4) from Steve Tuck of Thames Water, I think that the issue of water supply, aquifers, over-abstraction, excessive building projects and of course the ecological degradation of one of Cirencester's loveliest brooks deserves more serious attention than seems to be given by those with power and legal responsibility.
What about the grieving family?
11:31am Friday 12th September 2014
KEMBLE Air Services having been criticised at Gloucester Coroners Court and found guilty of breach of Health and Safety regulations at Gloucester Crown Court concerning the accident at Cotswold Airport on April 8, 2011.
Supermarket must be a good neighbour
1:46pm Friday 5th September 2014
THE Waitrose store in Malmesbury is now up and running, but what sort of new neighbour will it turn out to be? First impressions are important and so far there is not enough indication that the fine retail image of the Waitrose brand is carrying across into how it wants to co-exist with its neighbours and the town in general.
Pavement becomes a lethal weapon
1:44pm Friday 5th September 2014
I HAVE just become another victim of Cirencester's dangerous pavements.
Cricklade show washed away
1:43pm Friday 5th September 2014
MY HEART goes out to the many people who gave their time, energy, support and true commitment to the Bank Holiday Monday Cricklade Show only for their efforts to be ruined by the weather.
Talent shows are a farce
1:41pm Friday 5th September 2014
DO THOSE who run the television companies think that the majority of people just love to see people jumping, running or playing with balls?
It's just a survey
1:36pm Tuesday 2nd September 2014
I WISH to correct the error contained in your front page article dated August 21, stating that work has officially started on building 2,500 homes at Chesterton Farm.
Stone was local
1:33pm Tuesday 2nd September 2014
I FEEL that in your report of the memorial to the US troops at the Malt House, it should have mentioned that the stone was quarried by local craftsmen at the local quarry on the Avening Road out of Tetbury; it was also donated by them.
Excellent show
1:32pm Tuesday 2nd September 2014
ANOTHER Opening Another Show performed at The Bingham Hall on August 15/16 by MJUK Music and Arts production for their tenth anniversary show was an exceptional piece of theatre.
Get better grip
1:30pm Tuesday 2nd September 2014
I HAVE been prompted to write this letter by Megan Archer's recent article concerning the planning application 14/02702/FUL, Claydon Pike Visitor Centre. ('Residents have no appetite for diner,' August 21) As a resident of Kempsford, and also a parish councillor, I echo the views expressed by Cllr Coakley: the current application is not compatible with the s.106 agreement and there is no recognition of the usual definition of a country park and visitor centre.
On the hare trail
12:32pm Friday 15th August 2014
I JUST want to congratulate Florence Beetlestone and her team for the wonderful hare trail.
War memorial
12:31pm Friday 15th August 2014
IN 1914 a young American soldier wrote a poem entitled Trees which begins with – I think that I will never see A poem lovely as a tree.
Missing cygnet
12:30pm Friday 15th August 2014
ON JUNE 19 the Standard printed my photograph of the resident pair of swans in the Abbey Grounds, and their only cygnet this year.
Town gridlock
12:28pm Friday 15th August 2014
TODAY (August 5), The infrastructure of Cirencester cannot cope with the volume of traffic passing through. There only needs to be a hiccup in the normal routine and the centre of town becomes gridlocked; with the closure of Park Street and Thomas Street, things are made worse.
Fun at festivities
12:27pm Friday 15th August 2014
A BIG thank you to the organisers of the Fairfest which took place at Fairford.
Flowers for all
12:25pm Friday 15th August 2014
I REFER to the letter of last week concerning the wildflowers planted by the town council on the Corinium Via roundabout on the outskirts of Cirencester. I am in full agreement in how attractive they appeared and I imagine at little cost to the council and therefore to rate payers. I was delighted to see even more wild flowers planted around the play park in the Abbey Grounds when I was there last weekend. They were on three sides of the play area and about three feet tall in places with an abundance of blooms and very colourful. They were a joy to behold and very evocative of our countryside. Congratulations to all concerned and I hope it will be encouraged in other parts of our town.
The seed saint
12:24pm Friday 15th August 2014
A BIG thank you to whoever sprinkled the wildflower seeds around the fence at Abbey Grounds playground.
Lake traffic
12:22pm Friday 15th August 2014
SPRATSGATE Lane runs from Cirencester past the water park and Waterland leisure facilities.
Traffic too fast
12:21pm Friday 15th August 2014
I AM horrified by the speeding traffic up and down the Spratsgate Lane from Cirencester to Ashton Keynes. I regularly cycle the road with my young son and am terrified that we will be hit by one of these irresponsible drivers. I often see people driving in excess of 70mph around narrow sections of the road and over the brows of hills with very limited visibility ahead. It is very, very dangerous.
Lower the limit
12:18pm Friday 15th August 2014
I AM shocked to have just found out that someone was killed in a road traffic accident outside the gates of Lake 32 recently. I knew him and I am a regular sailor there. I'm not a fan of unnecessarily low speed limits but I understand the limit on Spratsgate Lane is 60mph which is actually faster than the much better, wider and straighter Spine Road East.
Waterland park
12:17pm Friday 15th August 2014
I AM a regular user of Waterland and I do feel that both Waterland and Keynes Country Park are heavily used, particularly in the summer. This means traffic, cyclists, pedestrians, children and dogs are all out and about entering and exiting the sites. Drivers need to exercise caution when driving through that section and there is no way that travelling at 60mph would allow you to do this and be able to avoid any of those hazards. It won't be long before there is another accident as the road is narrow and visibility not great.
Coach firm
12:16pm Friday 15th August 2014
LAST Saturday, August 9, between 1pm and 2pm, in the area outside the King's Head Hotel at the bus stop, the driver of a large National Express type of coach (I believe light green in colour, but not National Express) was allowing passengers to embark.
Cinema woes
12:14pm Friday 15th August 2014
MUCH has been said about the proposed new cinema in Cirencester town centre. It is obvious that not only would this involve removal or damage to an area which provides several small businesses with pedestrian traffic to run their trade, it would also increase the need for more parking for those using the cinema.
12:12pm Friday 15th August 2014
I WOULD like to express my appreciation for the treatment which my father received recently at the Great Western Hospital, Swindon. My thanks to the senior matron, who led by example in persuading an aggressively agitated man to undergo essential tests without sedation or restraint. The same to all the staff of Woodpecker Ward, who care for their challenging patients with cheerful compassion and respect in a bright and clean environment – and still find time to support the families.
Artists' designs
12:11pm Friday 15th August 2014
AFTER reading Good Hare day for town (Standard, August 7), I was mortified to notice that the work of the artists received no mention at all.
Open date
12:10pm Friday 15th August 2014
I MUST congratulate the King's Head on a final (we hope) opening date, after seven years under Wildmoor's control it is a miracle. Let's hope it stays open for seven years or more.
Artists' thanks
12:07pm Friday 15th August 2014
I WOULD just like to add a comment to the article Good hare day for town (Standard, August 7).
Flowers please
12:05pm Friday 15th August 2014
FURTHER to the recent letter from Patricia Logan regarding the subject of leaving verges uncut (Standard, July 24), I totally agree. However, there is one area where the Roman Amphitheatre backs on to Cotswold Close where there is a large area of long grass. This area, which is not seen by the majority of people, has very long grass and as far as I can see just cow parsley and no flora.

The Adventures of Calan Stonebridge Part Four
by, 11-03-2012 at 05:15 PM (853 Views)
This is Part Four of the text only version of the Adventures of Calan Stonebridge
Calan Stonebridge wondered how much pain the human body could endure before it simply quit. He had spent the last unknown amount of hours cramped into an uncomfortable shape clinging to the bottom of a wagon as it sped along a rough dirt track. The sun had begun to set as finally the wagon groaned to a halt. He fell with ah grunt to the hard earth and scurried behind a small building. He had no idea where he was. He could see that he was in the center of what must have been a small town. There were people moving about and he could smell meat cooking. The wagon's drivers stepped off of the wagon and made a great show of stretching. After tying the horses to a post they entered a squat stone and timber building with a sign that read" The Axe & Stump" Calan knew with a name like that the building had to be a tavern. He moved cautiously across the street and took a up a position on the side of the building facing away from the street. He craned his neck and peered into a dirty window....
Calan Stonebridge had practically grown up in a tavern. He and his mother had lived and worked in one in the city of Riverhewn. While The Stabbed Soldier was a rough and seedy place it was a palace compared to the Axe & Stump. Calan peered through the window in disbelief. The common row was filled with drunken men sitting at long rough hewn tables. Although the sun had barely begun it's descent through the sky these men were already very drunk. Tired looking serving girls navigated between the tables fighting off the rough advances of the patrons as often as serving drinks. Calan spotted a vicious fight going on in one corner of the room. The entire place was lit by torches it seemed and they let off a hellish glow that did little to brighten the mood of this dark place. Calan spotted the wagon drivers sitting at one of the long tables in what appeared to be a intense conversation with two other men. After a while the group rose and moved towards the back of the tavern. Calan followed moving along the outside of the tavern which he discovered was very large. He flattened himself up against the back wall and looked through a partially open door. What he saw both fascinated and sickened him. In the center of the large shadow filled room sat an octagon made from giant wooden beams. Tall thin logs had been affixed to form a grid around it's outside. on these hung more torches that lit the scene with an almost evil glow. In the center of the structure two men were fighting. Calan had seen men fight before of course but never like this. The ferocity and brutality of the fight terrified him. These men were trying to kill each other. Around the outside of the octagon a crowd had formed cheering and booing and betting. The room was dark except for the octagon and the air was heavy with the smell of unwashed bodies and split liquor. There was a great cheer from the crowd and Calan watched as one of the men landed a brutal blow on the other. The struck man fell like a tree in the forest and laid still. The other man raised his hands in victory and let out a massive roar. Tavern workers entered the octagon and dragged the lifeless body of the loser away. Fresh dirt was sprinkled over the blood stains and two more men readied themselves to enter the pit. Calan was about to turn away when a strong hand clamped down on his shoulder and a voice rough with drink said " Now what do we have here?"

Keep Genesee County Beautiful, Flint, MI
Keep Genesee County Beautiful's volunteer activity is attracting even more volunteers. Each day as they continue their painting and improvements in Sarginson Park, the Adopt a Park sponsors from West Flint Community Watch are being approached by neighborhood residents who want to join in and help complete the process.
Mary Severn, who co-chairs the Sarginson Park adoption team, was approached today while buying coffee and donuts for the hard-working volunteers in the park. A gentleman in line behind her asked a few questions and decided he wanted to volunteer as well. Whenever there are even two or three people interested in heading over to do some painting, Mary is willing to get them started with supplies and little direction. Scraping and painting begin at Delaware and Longway parks on September 13-14. Here's to the volunteer spirit!

Is there an equally efficient freeware like Jupiter or TLP for Linux?
Jupiter, as everyone knows who has even primary level of knowledge about Linux, maintains the cpu temperature and balances it, extends battery life/performance to name a few. TLP is another such kind of software. Unfortunately, when my love for Windows comes from automation and utilities, I could not find a software to automatically/detect for managing cpu temp, safe process management and not just like undervolting settings, motherboard detection as speedfan does.
Lowering maximum processor power state to 90%, could not solve my problem. I have replaced my battery, use a moderately good cooling pad, replaced HDD, did a servicing to clean inside but still can't play sims 3, nor can I play a youtube video more than 10-15 minutes! And this is NOT always due to overheating.
I know I am raising the issue for the third time - (http://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/274676-my-dell-inspiron-has-started-stopping-down-unexpectedly-again.html)

Speedfan benchmarking and task manager screenshots
Hi again,
The screenshots benchmarked by Speedfan are attached with one having the capture of taskmanager.
1. How do I know my motherboard model and necessary important info so that I can underclock my laptop to test if heat can be reduced?
2. Can it be reduced after underclocking?
3. Why is my HDD and GPU/CPU shows "fire images" (exceeds tolerable temp) and what are the ways to resolve this?
Please read the first post prior to this one.

Utilization of the web is getting more common due to accelerated progress of technology as well as the ability of globalization. Societies are really becoming more inter connected. Ideas from various cultures are shared via the usage of Internet chat rooms and web postings. Study results also monitor the most well-known uses of the Web: "this year's study demonstrates that email could be the very best job conducted online, followed by general browsing, reading News, shopping, and seeking amusement News." (Chang Joshua (2005)) It may be summarized the Web is currently used for common, regular jobs that will have generally taken more time to finish.
Online shopping is getting popular amongst users in developed countries, since it's more effective to 'shop in the Online' than to go physically into the shops. The World Wide Web gives a virtual environment where consumers' needs are satisfied with supplies. For instance, studies have proven that shopping online can lead to better product choices and lower search prices. This is only because the shopper has the capability to examine costs from various shops without needing to go distances. The shopper is now able to shop online for goods which are available in a foreign state, and as opposed to having to travel to the state to get the goods, the customer can order online and also get it delivered efficiently. However, utilizing the Web we've got the capability to reach both, having the capability to provide shoppers better prices as well as convenience.
The power of the Web not only extends to individuals who want the usefulness of shopping, and to help you to readily communicate with friends and associates, but the Web supports individuals to be up-to-date with the News and also gives an environment for News sharing. Unfortunately, as there now isn't any appropriate 'virtual filtering program' software out there, even though there are lots of News articles available, they truly are from the standpoint of international media institutions.
Not only has the Internet reached a much more equitable trading environment for customers, in addition, it gives the possibility to us to communicate more economically and effectively. For instance, the price of sending an e-mail is normally less expensive than posting a letter in the post, particularly for folks wishing to communicate internationally. Likewise, an e-mail could be sent immediately after it's composed, and doesn't have to go through official procedures like the Post Office and also a mail box. The receiver of the e-mail can obtain it from everywhere, because it is really a virtual communication tool, as opposed to getting a physical mail box where in fact the letters are delivered.
Moreover, many teens would likewise support they have had many good encounters with the Web as they consider it is really a spot for them to 'escape' from the pressures of fact and enjoy the amusement this system has the capability to supply. Video games, even though some would claim that they actually deflect folks from reality, provide the chance for persons to challenge themselves and express imagination. Interactive computer games supply an environment where persons are permitted to research foreign surroundings and take risks which will lead to no damage to the game player. Being an academic myself, I firmly believe the Internet offers a wonderful environment where people are permitted to share their ideas and beliefs whilst remaining anonymous.
In conclusion, popular uses of the Web have mainly led to the progress of culture. More individuals are today turning to this occurrence as a way to have efficient lifestyle where in actuality the most amount of jobs can be reached regular. Ultimately, the Internet is a program that's successful when used properly and efficiently and it's at the discretion of the person.

Prenatal Flow Charts of the Manchild
Given on Mt. Sinai as were seven of the Feasts … Lev. 23
A look at the Hebrew Calendar with a dissertation on eight Hebrew Feasts in relationship to the Birth of the Manchild.
The LORD GOD of Israel commanded the Hebrew people / Israelites to celebrate the seasons of the year through convocations; seven (7) feasts according to the lunar calendar. With the addition of Channukah as the eighth celebration, there is an interesting pattern that shapes up and forms the wonderful possibility that our Lord created a forecast as to the age of the Church as well as the development of a child, THE MANCHILD. This is in no way an attempt to cast in concrete a formula for either; only an attempt by the author to draw the similarities to your prayerful attention.
Beginning on the fourteenth day of the month of Spring-the first celebration in the Hebrew calendar is Passover. Passover to Channukah is exactly 280 days; from the first to the last festival. It takes the same number of days from the conception of a child to the fullness of its birth (give or take a few days). GOD punctuates that time frame with a feast on exactly the same days that are important to the development of the ovam in transit to the celebration of birth.
WE are believing this discovery, to be a Scriptural Blue Print of Life that God planted among His people long ago is only now being discovered and understood in relationship to the birth cycle. Particularly in view of the torrid times when science has discovered DNA to be the genetic blue print of individuality, The Prenatal Chart of the MANCHILD is the Blue Print of Life that comes to us as a pure gift. Abortion is on the rampage, high tech birth is prevalent and babies are born out of test tubes. Genetic manipulation is evident through invitro fertilization and mothers often times, can not choose where or with whom they birth their infants. It is no mistake that a pattern of life is revealed, with such precision and timing, to HIS people.
The Hebrew keepers of time followed the Lunar Calendar based on the phases of the moon. Each month begins with a new moon reaching full moon on the fourteenth day (14th) of a twenty-eight day cycle in the month. The Egyptians worshipped the sun. They based their yearly calendar on the days of the month according to the rotation of the earth around the sun which takes a thirty to thirty one day cycle (30-31 day). But even while captive in Egypt, our Hebrew forefathers marked the years by the lunar cycle.
Over 5000 years ago, God gave the law and the order of the Feasts based on that same lunar calendar. Then, as well as now, this is as surely a sign of His love for His children. This calendar of events, seasons, feasts and festivals clearly is GOD's BLUE PRINT OF LIFE for his chosen generation (Lev. 23:4-5).
So, beginning a "Perfect" year at the Passover, we will show you what is more than coincidence…The tides, growing seasons, the menstrual and the birth cycle are determined by this lunar system. Let us look at the "Perfect" lunar cycle when viewing the menstrual cycle, conception to the birth of a child in view of the eight (8) feasts ordained by the LORD GOD in the early times of our Hebrew forefathers. Through the scriptures, by its very subtlety, this information is yet another praise for the LORD's eye for uniqueness in each one of HIS Children.
Again, this is by no means an attempt to say that all birth is going to follow this pattern routinely for there are always varying influences with each pregnancy that would augment this idea. This is merely an attempt to show the sovereignty of GOD, through His direction to a chosen Generation; revealing a pattern that can not be denied.
Likened to a seed that was planted long ago-we see today the fruit of God's labor in the Birth of a Manchild, created in Gods own image and in His timing. The following Feasts are individually outlined to demonstrate the LORD's BLUE PRINT OF LIFE.

Is it true humans are made out of DNA?
Because these sculptures made of silicone, fiberglass, and polyester resin look awfully human-like.
You can catch Ron Mueck in a group show "Lifelike" at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego from now until May 27th, 2013. After that, you'll have to go to Paris.
Shockingly Realistic Sculptures by Ron Mueck
Photos by Gautier Deblonde; via Laughing Squid; designboom
I love this series of intricate rain painting from Gregory Thielker. These hyperrealistic paintings are just flowing with an eclectic mix of color. Gregory sets the mood perfectly in the first composition. I love the first piece Lowroad, how the rain is just casually gracing the window of what looks to be a car window. The second composition has intense colors, such as dark purple and hints of red. The images are blurred to perfect, you can still recognize the area, anyone with a car at night should immediately recognize this scene. Be sure to check out more of Gregory's work after the jump.

By Alice A. Huffman, Criminal Justice Chair for the National Board of the NAACP and the State Conference President in California/Hawaii; and Wilfred T. Ussery, former National Chairman of CORE and former President of the Board of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) How proud we were to watch the president while supporting the families of the victims of Newtown, Connecticut vowing to do whatever he can to stop the carnage. We are asking all Americans to move beyond the traditional incremental modifications of gun laws and address a more systemic problem in America, namely, the nation's out-of-control, culture of gun violence. We are now a nation with 5 percent of the world's population but which has 50 percent of the world's guns in civilian hands. The nation's obsession with gun ownership emanates from, and is supported and nurtured by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. The 2nd Amendment has fulfilled its initial purpose and is no longer needed. Years ago when it was created, we lived in a far different world. The 13 American colonies became the 13 United States of America in 1783, following the war for independence from Britain. The 2nd Amendment was ratified in 1791. It is believed that Madison proposed it, but it was common law in the constitutions of most of the 13 states. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution supports the creation of a militia and gives everyone in the United States the right to "keep and bear arms." Obviously when a massacre, like the one in Newtown, happens to little children, it stops the nation in its tracks, but if we look at the shocking results of our nation's gun laws, we know that no community in America is safe from gun violence, particularly, the nation's urban communities where people of color are being murdered in greater numbers than all of the Americans who died in the last two World wars and Vietnam. The 2nd Amendment that many hold so dear reads, "A well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." This 2nd Amendment was adopted almost 221 years ago. With the formation of the new Constitution that gave the federal government its national power and presence, the founding fathers created: A common currency, where before, individual states still produced their own; a national military force – until then many states still had their own armies and navies; a centralized control over foreign policy rather than states negotiating directly with other countries; and the national system for imposing and collecting taxes. In 1787, the new Constitution was approved. In 1789, Congress began deliberation on the Bill of Rights that created the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. In 1789, the newly created country was slowly taking shape, but the states that still had been acting as their own countries and were negotiating with foreign powers with their own currency and wanted their own militia. Today, the official militia of the states is the National Guard. The National Guard was established as a federally funded reserve component of the nation's armed forces in 1903 with the Militia Act of 1903 under Title 10 and Title 32 of the U.S. Code. The National Defense Act of 1947 created the Air Force as a separate branch of the Armed Forces of the United States and concurrently created the Air National Guard as one of its reserve components, mirroring the Army's component structure. So now that we have a National Guard that operates under the control of the governors of the states, why do we need a Constitutional Amendment that allows individuals to form a militia? We will not stop our nation's infatuation with guns, its culture of gun violence, and the directly related senseless killing that occur daily in America until we change our nation's 221 year old, obsolete, 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. "USA Today" reported on Dec. 20 that, "Mass killers target Americans once every two weeks on average, in attacks. The killings between 2006 and 2010 of 747 victims from 157 murders classified as mass murders by the FBI offer a portrait of mass murder that in many ways belies the stereotype of a lone gunman targeting strangers. Children are frequently victims of gun violence. These massacres are never called white on white crime, but, when it comes to urban areas we think about Black on Black crime and Brown on Brown killings which gives the majority population a reason to look the other way. So we propose two things: first, that we should begin thinking about all of these deaths without regard to race, but as all of our children and others – young and old – who are affected by gun violence in America. Race has nothing to do with the finality or neutrality of death. Second, we should modify the Second Amendment to read: "While a well-regulated militia is unnecessary to sustain the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall be well regulated." Approval of this proposed rewrite of the language of the 2nd Amendment can lead to the successful adoption of an amended Second Amendment that over time would profoundly change the nation's culture of violence, the incidence of gun violence and make us all safer.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The last post was March 5,2012.Seems nothing is happening at Varnell. Depend to much on outside influence on important decisions.
My daughter is in 4th grade and has attended Varnell since kindergarten. Each and every teacher she has loved and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the teachers we have dealt with at this school. They truly love teaching and are the reason why my daughter loves going to school each day.
My daughter Mikayla Crider just started kindergarden and we are very happy with the results from her class,and teachers Mrs. Cresswell and ,miss. Valerie. I have been hanging out at the school and think that everything is great. The Principle is awsom and all the teachers i have came in contact with are wonderfull. Im very excited for my daughter and it is easier to leave her at school knowing that she is taking care of. Thanks to everyone at Varnell Elementary School. I love all you guys.
Varnell has a dedicated group of teachers and a meticulous principal. This makes for a winning combination.
My son has attended Varnell for 2 years and has I am very proud of his accomplishments and learning progress. I think Varnell is the best elementary school in Whitfield County. The parent - teacher communication is great and the principal, Dr. Ellen Thompson is awesome...she sets a great example for our school. I would highly recommend this school to others.
My daughter attended this school for one six week period. It was then that my husband and I decided to enroll her in another school as Varnell did not meet the student's needs on many levels. The teachers didn't display the committment level that one would expect from a role of a teacher. The school focused more on their financial needs and gains rather than the needs of the students. I was not in any way impressed with this school and surely would not recommend it to any parent.
My daughter has not had much of anything to challenge her at this school. She is expected to wait while the others catch up. The only challenges she has faced are social and nothing has been done to help her in that area. I thought elementary school was a place where a child could grow in every aspect, and not just at the pace of the slowest child.
My daughter is in 2nd grade at Varnell Elementary school. She is in Miss Herrons class. Varnell is by far the best Elementary School in Whitfield County. Ms. Ellen Thompson is the principal. She is awesome!
Absolutely impressed w/ teacher and parent reations and dedication. Curriculum is excellent!

A Texas University's Mind-Boggling Database Of Teens' Daily Text Messages, Emails, and IMs Over Four Years
Underwood somehow got the project approved by the IRB, received a $3.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), hooked up with Ceryx and Global Relay — companies that help financial companies capture employee communication per SEC rules — and got over 175 of her 281 participants to sign up for the Digital Panopticon. (Some students dropped out because they preferred iPhones to Blackberries, says Underwood.) The kids and their parents have to sign "detailed consent forms" yearly. There are 81 girls and 94 boys; 23% of them are African-American, 50% are Caucasian, and 15% are Hispanic. Nearly half come from families that make less that $75K per year. Other than paying participants $50 for lab visits, the only financial compensation is the phone and its associated plan, which comes out to a little over $600 per person.
The kids are now high school seniors; the capture of their digital communications over the past four years provides an intimate look at their private lives. There have been countless studies about how kids use technology, but this detailed collection is the first of its kind.
Previous studies have involved looking at teens' social networking pages, blogs, and chat rooms — all publicly available. "No previous published research has provided adolescents with cell phones or smart phones and recorded the content of their electronic communication," write the researchers in a recent paper. "The only previous study that measured the content of text messaging required college students to write down all text messages for a 24-hr period in a diary."
Not as good, obviously.

Mars Viking Robots 'Found Life'
New analysis of 36-year-old data, resuscitated from printouts, shows NASA found life on Mars, an international team of mathematicians and scientists conclude in a paper published this week.
Further, NASA doesn't need a human expedition to Mars to nail down the claim, neuropharmacologist and biologist Joseph Miller, with the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, told Discovery News.
"The ultimate proof is to take a video of a Martian bacteria. They should send a microscope — watch the bacteria move," Miller said.
"On the basis of what we've done so far, I'd say I'm 99 percent sure there's life there," he added.

Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son's Journey to God. A Broken Mother's Search for Hope
WaterBrook Press, May 2011. 222 pp.
Last year, the school where I work — Yale University, colloquially known as "the Gay Ivy" — was galvanized by a visit from the Christian speaker Christopher Yuan, a self-described "former homosexual." A student evangelical group had invited Yuan to campus to tell the story of his transformation from out-and-proud gay meth addict and drug dealer to mild-mannered celibate Bible teacher via a stint in federal prison. Yale's outraged LGBTQ and allied students showed up in droves and passed out rainbow stickers at the door, turning what had been planned as an intimate evangelical event into a fraught, standing-room-only campus happening.
Yuan's visit and the impassioned protest it provoked might seem to confirm the common perception that gays and Christians play for different teams. But they also call that assumption into question. Queer Christian students helped to organize the protest, and more than one gay clergyperson from the community was there as well. Meanwhile, the decision to invite Yuan was quite controversial within the evangelical student groups, and I heard that some LGBTQ-allied evangelical students were boycotting the event as an informal protest of their own. At the time I was a student at Yale Divinity School, and I attended the talk with a large cohort of queer and allied ministers-in-training. Many of us had grown up in or been thrown out of churches that preached hate, and we wanted to make sure that we were there as witnesses for the gospel as we had come to know it — a hard-won gospel of love and liberation for all.
We were also there for the show, and it didn't disappoint. Nothing quite beats anti-gay melodrama for sheer camp value. Yuan, a Chinese-American, HIV-positive man in his forties, travels the world with his formidable mother, Angela, showing PowerPoint pictures of his former self dancing in leather and glitter, and speaking out in favor of "holy sexuality," which he defines as incompatible with same-sex desire. To hear Christopher tell it, Angela is a kind of Tiger Mother for Jesus: She simply refused to accept that her son was hopelessly gay, and that (eventually) was that. At Yale, Angela cut short the heated question and answer period by demanding that gay and allied students go easy on her son since his white blood cell count was low and it was time for him to take his meds.
Christopher and Angela have written a book together, Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son's Journey to God. A Broken Mother's Search for Hope, in which they each cast themselves in the role of the Prodigal Son. In alternating chapters, they tell how they were both brought low by Christopher's homosexual lifestyle. When Angela saw the gay porn that Christopher had hidden in the insulation in the crawl space by his bedroom, she contemplated throwing herself in front of a train. And when Christopher dropped out of dental school to plan gay dance parties, he found himself alone and emaciated, a crack pipe his only friend. After years of wallowing in shame, mother and son finally found their way back home to a life with Jesus and each other.
In some ways, the Yuans are telling an old story. Parts of it are as old as the parable on which it is based. But it is also new. The Yuans' decision to present themselves as fellow prodigals in need of forgiveness — rather than casting Christopher alone as the sinner — is an especially interesting twist. It makes Angela's initial rejection of her gay son into a sin somehow comparable to the "sin" of Christopher's homosexuality.
And Christopher's relationship to his homosexuality is more nuanced (or contradictory) than it might first appear. Although he has worked with the ex-gay organization Exodus International, at Yale he disavowed "ex-gay" rhetoric, saying, "I don't even know what the ex-gay movement is." In his book, Christopher writes that he is not defined by his sexuality, past or present, and that his only meaningful identity is Christian; his goal is not heterosexuality but purity. Still, at Yale, he kept returning to sexual labels with a half-affirming wistfulness. At one point he said with tears in his voice, "I have a lot of gay friends. I have some who have passed away. LGBTQ family is dear to me." Maybe in memory of this lost gay family, he interspersed his talk with conciliating pleas to his predominantly gay and politely hostile audience: "I want to get to know you." "Let's start with love."
