A private equity firm is acquiring an Omaha trucking company that specializes in hauling refrigerated food as it works to build a national trucking firm.
Eberhart Capital announced Tuesday it is buying Poling Transportation and renaming the company Poling Express.
Eberhart said Poling will continue operating with the same management team and current 60 employees in Omaha. Eberhart said the company's employment could grow significantly in the years ahead.
Poling will work with the two other trucking firms Eberhart already owns: Twin Express in Rogers, Minn., and Golden Drop Trucking in Los Angeles.
The combined Eberhart trucking companies have a fleet of over 200 trucks and work with more than 200 owner-operator drivers.
Eberhart manages about $100 million in assets.

Sparkz Projector Dock For Your iPhone (video)
In what appears to be a product I've never seen the likes of, the Sparkz Projector Dock is a fresh and pricey new addition to aftermarket iPhone accessories. The built-in pico projector accepts a variety of A/V and VGA inputs and is capable of displaying 640 x 480 resolutions at up to 60 inches. Snaps.
There's also some little stereo speakers attached but I can't imagine them doing much banging. The dock also charges your iPhone and it comes with a tri-pod. At a $495 price tag, early adopters will want to make sure this is a quality product. Maybe the video below will help.

This is my grain bill for IPA's from now on. Just enough character to stand up to the hops, but gets out of the way and finishes super clean.
I'll switch out the late hops for some variety, and probably try kolsch yeast as well.
I'll use some rice hulls as well next time.
Grain Bill
14 LBS of Rahr 2-row (56.6%)
5 LBS US Malted Rye (20.2%)
2 LBS US 20L Munich (8.1%)
1.5 LBS US Flaked Rye (6.1%)
1.25 LBS US Carapils (5.1%)
1 LB US White Wheat (4%)
Single Infusion for 1 HR at 151
Hops (Rager Formula)
1.25 OZ Nugget 15.2% at 60 Mins (33IBU)
1 OZ Nugget 15.2 at 30 Mins (13.1 IBU)
6 OZ Falconers Flight 10% at Flameout (25.1) IBU
4 OZ Falconers Flight Dry Hop
Recirculated wort for 20 Mins before chilling, IBU Calculations account for this.
First time using Falconer's Flight. The blend of dank and citrus is fantastic.
Its named River Rock IPA as I used a fist sized river rock to keep the ghetto rigged hop spider from floating. I hadn't used pellets in a while.
How did this turn out? Looks like something I would like to try never used the falcons flight before.
Primary: Matt Tire
Secondary: Bourbon Barrel Porter
Keg: Heartbreak Ridge IPA
Oatmeal Coffee Stout
It's fantastic. It's old enough now that the hops are starting to fade. I really enjoyed the falconers flight. A good blend of dank and citrus/tropical
How big of a batch size.

Recently, Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) announced that it would be releasing a new smartphone that utilizes the curve touchscreen that the company first introduced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The event coincided with the release of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet, but gave few details beyond the fact that an announcement would be made in October. Specifically not mentioned was what operating system the device would utilize. Samsung is expected to roll out Tizen, an alternative to both Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS.
In the video below, I discuss details of the release and why a big push by Samsung away from Android would be bad news for Google. In may be early to impact Google shares - and I remain bullish - but this is definitely a story to watch for shareholders.

Doug Gillin
May 1, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri Department of Athletics has named Doug Gillin Deputy Athletic Director, as announced today by Director of Athletics Mike Alden. Gillin, 42, is returning to Mizzou for his second stint, after serving four previous years as assistant marketing director (1995-97) and as general manager of Mizzou Sports Properties (1997-99).
Gillin returns to Mizzou after spending the past 12 years in various roles with IMG College (previously ISP Sports), the country's leading collegiate multimedia, marketing and licensing/brand management company. Since September of 2010, Gillin has served as a senior vice president for college properties, where he assisted in the development of corporate strategy in all facets of IMG College, including oversight of all local and regional sales. Prior to that, Gillin was an executive vice president/chief sales officer (2007-10) and senior vice president (2002-07) on the regional level for ISP, after serving as general manager for Syracuse (University) Sports Properties from 1999-2002.
During his time with ISP and IMG College, Gillin managed the entire sales force, which included approximately 350 employees with over 90 university and conference partnerships.
"We are very pleased to be able to recruit Doug back to Mizzou," said Alden. "I've personally enjoyed watching his career path since he left over a decade ago, and always entertained thoughts of getting him back here in some fashion. Doug is a high-energy person with great character and outstanding people skills, and he's got a very well-rounded professional experience that will translate very well to his role here," he said.
In his role at Mizzou, Gillin will oversee all external operations facets for Athletics, which include the Tiger Scholarship Fund, Ticketing, Strategic Communications, Mizzou Sports Properties and Game Operations. He will also focus on leading the upcoming capital campaign, as Mizzou Athletics looks to make a major facilities improvement push as it heads into the Southeastern Conference.
"I'm really excited to have the opportunity to come back to Mizzou and work with Mike Alden and the tremendous staff there," Gillin said. "It's an honor to be able to come in at such an historic period of time and being part of the move to the SEC. This is a monumental time for Mizzou Athletics, and I'm looking forward to reengaging with all of my old friends in the athletic department, the university and the community. I'm excited to bring my wife, Leslie, and our family to Columbia," he said.
A native of Binghamton, N.Y., Gillin was a four-year ice hockey letterman at SUNY-Cortland, serving as team co-captain in 1990, and winning team most valuable player honors in both 1990 and 1991. He earned a bachelor's degree in physical education with a concentration in sport management in 1991, and later earned a master's degree in athletic administration at Ohio University in 1993, where he also served as a graduate teaching assistant and assistant hockey coach. Gillin was born May 28, 1969. He and his wife, Leslie (a Richmond, Va. native and 1992 graduate of Radford University), are the parents of daughters Shea (5), Lia (1), and son Chase (3).

Tonight's Section Football Playoff Matchups
A pair of tonight's games can be heard on our airwaves.
A pair of tonight's games can be heard on our airwaves.
The Steelers scored 24 points in the last 3:08 of the first half to rally past the Houston Texans, 30-23, on Monday night in Pittsburgh.
The Timberwolves won 112-94 in Tulsa, Oklahoma against the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday night. The Wolves were led by veteran guard Mo Williams with 19 points. Ricky Rubio, Robbie Hummel and Kevin Martin each added 13 points for Minnesota.
Peyton Manning continued re-writing the NFL record books, and the Dallas Cowboys continued to be the NFL's hottest team. Here's what we learned on Sunday:
The SEC West still rules the roost and officials may determine the playoff teams. Just a few of the things we learned this week in college football.
The Minnesota Vikings (2-5) lost to the Buffalo Bills (4-3) in New York this afternoon in Teddy Bridgewater's first NFL road start. The Vikings clung to a 6-point lead until Buffalo scored on a last second touchdown pass giving the Bills the win.
Former Minnesota Gopher Men's Basketball head coach Tubby Smith attempted a grand entrance Friday night at the Texas Tech Men's Basketball Midnight Madness event where he's now the coach. Unfortunately for Tubby, things didn't go as planned.
The Minnesota Vikings (2-4) are in New York to face the Buffalo Bills (3-3) today; with the kickoff set for Noon (Radio: AM 1240 WJON, TV: FOX). The Vikings are looking to bounce back from two straight losses, and are hoping for their first touchdown since September 28th.
The Minnesota Gophers (6-1, 3-0) remain unbeaten in the Big Ten after a 39-38 win over Purdue (3-5, 1-3) today in Minneapolis. St. Cloud State (3-4, 3-4) won on the road at MSU-Moorhead (1-6, 1-6) 55-27. #22 St. John's (5-1, 3-1) knocked off Gustavus (6-1, 4-1) in St. Peter 29-19.
It's a full schedule for area college football teams today, with the University of Minnesota at home, and St. Cloud State and St. John's on the road. The Gophers host Purdue for Minnesota's 100th Homecoming at 11 AM, and a chance to go 3-0 in the Big Ten for the first time in 24 years.
The Cinderella story of the Kansas City Royals meets the biennial excellence of the San Francisco Giants in the 2014 World Series beginning on Tuesday in Kansas City. Here's a preview of what to expect in this year's edition of the Fall Classic:
Can Notre Dame knock off top-ranked Florida State? That leads this week's big questions in college football.

The most helpful positive review
Who the island Coche select, should know, what him expected: absolute peace and Entspanntheit, except on Sunday, where the locals on the beautiful powder beach descend. The hotel, as well as the 2 other on the island, is still in the development stage. This is, as we found, also clearly the vegetation within the complex ( a few scant Palms) to see. It was nevertheless a recommendable vacation for us, as relaxing. … read hotel review

The hotel is for the price good, the complex is tidy, the rooms are spacious. The food seemed to me, not very varied, but good. There were all nationalities also from other south american countries.

My better is better than your better.
In the final analysis, the progress of our civilization will be retarded if any large body of citizens falls behind. Without the help of thousands of others, any one of us would die, naked and starved.

André Gide
What has happened to us in this country? If we study our own history we find that we have always been ready to receive the unfortunates from other countries, and though this may seem a generous gesture on our part, we have profited a thousandfold by what they have brought us.

I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds.

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
Gustave Flaubert
"You stopped breathing once when you were five weeks old. Did I ever tell you that?"
No, she certainly hadn't.
"I was about to take a bath and then I thought I'd better check the crib, so I went in and you weren't moving at all. I thought you were dead. I snatched you up and tore out of the house to the Jensens' and pounded on the door, and right then you let out a cry. Anyway, we took you to the doctor."
"What did the doctor say?"
"He wasn't sure. He didn't think it was a seizure. I guess it was just one of those things that happens sometimes." Then she got up to make a salad for supper.
That's how Mother told stories. Never enough detail, and she always left you hanging at the end. If she had gone ahead and run the bath water, I'd be dead right now. And it was "just one of those things that happens sometimes"? I felt a little weak myself. I had gotten over the fear that I'd stop breathing during the night, all those years I used to remind myself to breathe, and now this. So I wasn't dumb to think that your breath could stop at any time. It could happen right now, sitting on a white kitchen chair in a cool breeze and drinking iced tea. Fall over dead on the linoleum. Thirteen years old, dead.
Garrison Keillor, Lake Wobegon Days

Charging mobile in vehicle fitted with 24V equipt

I normally charge my Motorola mobile in my own car. The charging lead for this obviously has a means to cut down the 12v car current to the 4.8v required for the mobile battery. To charge my phone when I am in a commercial lorry which has 24volt equipment do I need to get a different charging lead to cut down the 24v. It`s not always the same lorry but is usually 24v. I don`t drive them, just a passenger.

[show]The initial 1976-77 success of the ABC Network's "Donny and Marie" variety show series, produced by the older brothers, George Osmond, patriarch of the Osmond family enterprises, constructed a multi-million dollar "Hollywood style" TV studio in Orem, adjacent to the foothills of Provo, Utah in 1977. The first 1976-77 ABC TV season, the show taped weekly at the Hollywood KTLA TV (formerly Warner Brothers 1920-1940) Studios, on Sunset Boulevard. With the show's popularity and successful ratings, the show's success came at a cost. George Osmond and the family built and operated, at great expense, a first class television studio in Orem, Utah, where the show was produced from the second 1977-1978 season. "The Donny and Marie Show" continued being produced at the Osmond's Orem studio through the fourth 1978-1979 season. Unbeknown, that the ABC network would cancel their show, marking its final season ending in the Spring of 1979. The move (along with changes to the show's format) proved unsuccessful and the series was canceled. "Cal" Calvin McWhorter, KTLA TV Studio's construction coordinator, accepted the Osmond Family's job offer as their Orem Studio's production facility manager. Cal's brother Ed McWhorter, working with his brother Cal in the KTLA Studio's construction shop, and as a KTLA #33 (IATSE) union stage technician, moved with the Osmond's series to Utah as a construction coordinator. The Osmond's Orem studio facility was unique as a first in the Salt Lake-Provo area providing a "Hollywood" production facility with rehearsal rooms, offices, two fully equipped television-tape studio/stages, a complete lighting package, also including construction, paint, scenic, graphics, drapery, costume and wardrobe departments, engineering with video show-tape editing personnel. The facility offered a major employment opportunity to the Salt Lake and Provo communities. Popular as a tourist sight, the family's open door policy allowed visitors entrance to the sight, where a "wall of fame" had been constructed in the administrative exterior studio forecourt. Each week, the show's celebrity guests implanted their hand print, foot print and signature on a rectangular concrete slab, with the concrete slab hung on the wall of fame. Osmond Productions endeavored to develop film projects for the entertainment industry utilizing their facility. Commercial accounts from Ohio video taped their TV promotions and ads at the studio. The Osmond's developed other special entertainment projects, which aired on various network outlets. The Osmond Family sold the studio when it was no longer feasible to continue operating it. Jimmy Osmond later purchased the sight back, refurbishing the buildings, turning the property into Osmond Real Estate company until 1993, when the real estate company moved.
- In the summer of 1979, Ralph Nelson was the principle motivation in directing an Osmond (Family) Productions produced NBC TV Movie of the Week special "Christmas Lilies of the Field"…
[show]In the summer of 1979, Ralph Nelson was the principle motivation in directing an Osmond (Family) Productions produced NBC TV Movie of the Week special "Christmas Lilies of the Field" featuring Billy Dee Williams (Homer Schmidt) and Maria Schell (Mother Maria). The NBC film special, aired on December 29, 1979, was planned as a pilot-pick-up order for a mid-season 1980 NBC series replacement. The replacement series was to be based at the hometown Osmond Family Television Studio Production facility, located at 1240 E. 800 N. in Orem, Utah. The film's exterior location Chapel (interiors) and exterior Mother Maria's quarters (interiors) were built on State of Utah owned land, 75 miles North-West, from the Orem-Provo Osmond's studio. The production planned to use this Chapel and Mother Maria's abode location exteriors/interiors for the proposed series. The MOW filmed additional locations in the Salt Lake area. The Osmond brothers and Ralph Nelson would produce the series, Ralph Nelson directing the NBC TV series "Lilies of the Field". The December 29th, 1979, MOW's poor and slim viewer ratings resulted in cancellation of any further series development.

I am still searching for the parents of Thomas H. Hutson who was adopted. His birthdate was Sept. 3, 1889. According to his WWI draft card, he was born in Georgetown County, SC.
He later migrated to Virginia where he most likely is buried.
He was married twice. His first wife was Constance Bailey, born abt 1892, and his second wife was Elizabeth Warren, who was born abt 1898.
Thanks for any clues to this mystery.

20 Nov Biblical TensionIt has been rightly said that we should never use biblical truths in unbiblical ways. We make this costly error at times without knowing it. We may be hailing some aspect of God's word with a resolute focus while unwittingly beginning to utilize that affirmation to deny some other forthright teaching of Scripture. Take for instance our confidence in the sovereignty of God, which is of course a ...read more...
13 Nov TruthTruth is not always popular. Depending on the environment, statements that reflect absolute truth can be downright offensive to many.

Gov't rebuts the claims of consumption mostly based on import
In the first half of 2012, the production of tomato and onion surged 20%-25%, among others, according to the Vice-Minister of Agricultural Economy
"I categorically refuse that 80% of what we consume in Venezuela is imported," Kassen said during the discussion of the 20013 budget at the National Assembly Finance Committee.
The senior officer contended that under the government of President Hugo Chávez, food production has grown.
He added that in 1988-1998 the domestic output barely went from 15 million tons to 17 million tons, compared to up to 24 million tons in the past 12 years.
Kassen underscored that the agricultural policy undertaken by the Executive Office has helped to recover the production of several items, such as sunflower and cotton.
According to him, in the first half of 2012, the production of tomato and onion jumped 20%-25%.

Gagging Twitter users
Pablo Jiménez Guaricuco was summarily dismissed from his Clerk III job at the Autonomous Service of Public Registries and Notaries' Offices (Saren). He read a notice published in a newspaper on November 5 informing the public that he was no longer employed to the Saren. He was sacked despite the fact that he was taking a leave of absence from work due to a work-related accident, and that he enjoyed security of employment under the parental job-immunity privilege. Most probably, the decision was influenced by his role as a union organizer. But what did he do, besides leading protests, to deserve the sack? Well, he allegedly sent off a series of tweets that definitely hurt the sensitivity of the Saren Directorate.

All about T'Pol

Location: Los Gatos, Ca
Re: All about T'Pol
I am of the opinion that T'Pol is probably the best Vulcan on Trek. Spock set the standard, and
T'Pol has reached that level. In Ent seasons 2-4 as I have mentioned in other posts, she screamed Vulcan, she was Vulcan, she is what and who I would expect a Vulcan to be. Espically being an 22nd Century Vulcan, she did show some emotion that later Vulcans did not show. In Trek 3 after that Klingon kills David Marcus, Saavik has to report to Kirk...she simply say's "David is Dead" with not one shred of emotion, T'Pol does show emotion, not a whole lot but some and I love that. Don't get me wrong I love most of the actor/actress who have played Vulcans, however, something about T'Pol stands out from the crowd, besides Spock of course. Liked Kristie Alley, and Robin Curtiss, did not care for Valeris at all, for some reason she really bugged me. Any thoughts...

Living With Dignity
On New Year's Day 2014, Brittany Maynard received a staggering diagnosis. 29 and recently married, she now contemplated brain cancer. Surgery proved ineffective, and by April doctors told her the tumor had grown into a grade 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer that would likely claim her life within six months. Brittany and her family researched the options, none of them pretty. Treatment could prolong her life but not save it, and the side effects of the treatments themselves would drastically reduce the quality of what little time she had left. The tumor already promised a terrifying decline. Adding side effects of radiation and chemotherapy seemed unpalatable.
Have watched a loved one die from a grade 4 glioblastoma, I claim some experience with the indignity of the death the disease inflicts. I have watched a once handsome and athletic body grow puffy and weak with steroids. I have wept with frustration as the honor student struggled to pass classes that once came easily to him and finally struggled even to remember how to tie his tie. I held his hand as he recovered from yet another seizure, and I injected morphine to control the awful pain. I fought with insurance companies, propped a bowl under his chin while he threw up blood, and talked long into the night with him about what it might feel like to leave this life. In the end, I changed the diaper of a man who no longer recognized me. No one deserves to die that way.
While Brittany struggled with her own illness, another young woman also contemplated a diagnosis of terminal brain cancer. Lauren Hill, a high school senior and standout basketball player, had just signed on to play basketball for Mount Saint Joseph University in Cincinnati when she was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare form of brain cancer. 90% of children with DIPG die within 18 months of diagnosis. Like a glioblastoma, this cancer offers no pity to its victims.
Brittany and Lauren both took their fight to the next level, although they chose very different paths. Brittany began to research "death with dignity," or physician-assisted suicide, hoping to die on her own terms and spare her family the pain of watching her decline. She lived her last months deliberately, cherishing time with loved ones and building memories. At the same time, she joined forces with Compassion & Choices, an end-of-life nonprofit advocacy organization, to share her story, one that has sparked a national debate. She allowed herself to be vilified by those who disagreed with her choice, feeling that her cause was worth the cost. She ended her life on November 1, surrounded by love and still in control.
The day after Brittany's death, Lauren Hill played her first college basketball game. Mount Saint Joseph games usually draw a crowd of 50 people. For this game, 10,000 tickets sold out in 30 minutes. Lauren had chosen to spend her final months raising awareness of DIPG, in the hopes that increased research could help those who come after her, children and families who need a voice. For the past several months, she practiced with her teammates and worked tirelessly for the cause that hit so close to home, all while undergoing painful treatments and suffering the debilitating effects of her disease. In the opening seconds of the game, she scored the first basket of the NCAA season, and the crowd erupted into cheers. Doctors say Lauren has weeks left to live.
I have thought a great deal this week about these two women. I find Lauren's story incredibly inspiring, much moreso than Brittany's, if I have to be honest about it. Fighting to the end always makes for a better story, especially when that fight includes two basketball teams and 10,000 fans coming together to make a dream come true for a girl who has decided to use her last weeks to help make possible the dreams of other children. One would have to be heartless, indeed, to find fault with Lauren and her end-of-life choices.
At the same time, I cannot quite bring myself to condemn Brittany. While I have watched a loved one suffer the agony of death, I have not personally felt the pain, the nausea, the terror, the disorientation, the loss of mental and emotional competence that comes with an illness such as hers. After 9/11 I told myself I probably would have jumped from the tower rather than allow myself to suffer death by fire. And I tell my husband that if I ever face severe dementia, I want to die alone in a nursing home rather than have my family see me in such a decline (although I have a feeling I would change my mind if that scenario ever became my reality). Is that really any different than Brittany taking a lethal dose of barbiturates only weeks or even days before the cancer would have claimed her life anyway?
I know so little about death. But one truth I have learned is that regardless of how many loved ones or journalists surround us, we each face the end privately, in the quiet moments of faith or fear, in the contemplation of our lives behind us and the possibilities ahead, or simply in the day to day struggle with illness and pain. Most of us get no rehearsal for our meeting with death, so it's game on when he turns his attention to us. We cannot with any certainty know how we will react or what path we will take, so perhaps we should spend a little less time condemning the end-of-life choices of others and a little more time following Lauren's example by living with dignity.
When asked what her daughter's epitaph might say, Lisa Hill responded with, "She never gave up, not even for a moment. She never strayed from her goals. She lived and loved with passion and desire." That is how one lives with dignity. Death will take care of itself.

Late Summer Reflections
Somehow, I failed to catch the sewing bug myself, and without the whir of that ancient Singer, summertime meanders along at its own pace, leaving me rather shocked to find myself at the end of the ride, not quite prepared for autumn and falling far short of the lofty goals I set for myself ten weeks ago. The biography I started writing in 2011 remains just short of complete. My blog suffers from neglect. I half-read several books and completed none of them. I never ran that 10K I intended to run this summer.
However, while the writing fell by the wayside (again), we built good memories. I watched while Son #1 married a wonderful woman, and I smiled at the delight of Son #3 as he hiked with me along the edge of a mountainside. I ran dozens of miles and biked hundreds more, clearing my head and finding my endurance. I dated my husband and discovered downtown Springfield with my daughter. I even enjoyed the state fair for once, despite the rain that soaked us while we screamed and laughed on the rides.
The next few days will find me wandering those school supply aisles with a list in my hand and an excited third grader by my side. Perhaps on my way out of the store I will casually drop my list of summer goals in the garbage can and start fresh for autumn, buoyed up by good memories and the warmth of summer on the wane.

A Perfect Day
When I left the Vermont hills for Midwestern cornfields, I brought the tradition with me and have sporadically lassoed various friends into my annual escape. This year, Mothers' Day Saturday dawned brilliantly sunny and pleasantly warm. Four of us passed the two-hour drive to St. Louis switching comfortably between the trivial and the profound with ease born of long friendship and shared experience.
|"The Washerwomen of Breton Coast," painting by Jules Breton
Leaving the stately columns of SLAM, we headed to 39th Street and Sweet Art, a neighborhood café, bakeshop and art studio owned by baker Reine Bayoc and her artist husband Cbabi Bayoc. While indulging in vegan eats and not quite so vegan but oh so amazing pastries, we discovered Cbabi's "365 Days with Dad," a project of 365 paintings celebrating black fatherhood. His paintings are worlds apart from Jules Breton but equally powerful in their own sphere.
Still munching vegan brownies, salted caramel bars and hummingbird cake, we made our way downtown to a fantastic production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Joseph and his brothers delivered, as did the opulent Fox Theater.
Once back in the sunshine, we wandered for a time, drunk on summery air and the wonder of a few hours without schedules and demands. We stopped first at St. Francis Xavier College Church, pausing to meditate in the hush of intricate stained glass and worshippers waiting for their turn at confession. Around the corner, on the campus of Saint Louis University, we found a delightful collection of sculptures, a perfect picnic spot tucked among perennials, and a couple of stately stone lions watching over the Moolah Temple.
We rounded out our adventure under the tutelage of Mai Truong, the chatty founder of the OR Smoothie & Café in the Central West End. Sipping power smoothies and munching Vietnamese spring rolls, we reflected on a glorious day in the middle of lives that, for all of their twists and turns, have treated us remarkably well.
My grandfather loved the song "A Perfect Day," by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. "When you come to the end of a perfect day," she wrote, "and you sit alone with your thought, ...mem'ry has painted this perfect day with colors that never fade, and we find at the end of a perfect day the soul of a friend we've made." Ms. Jacobs-Bond wrote those lyrics 100 years ago after watching a magnificent sunset at the close of a glorious day spent motoring with friends. I think perhaps I know just what she was thinking that evening.

Not Just Good, But True
I belong to a church that claims to be the true church of Jesus Christ, restored by God Himself in modern times. This is a bold claim, to be sure, a sometimes unpopular claim in Christian circles. In a religious environment where the trend favors an "all paths lead to God" philosophy, the notion of a single path seems exclusive, restrictive.
Recently, I broke my usual rule of avoiding blogs that blast the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). I find such blogs and the accompanying comments divisive, contentious and frankly painful to read. However, someone I respect posted a link to a blog, and I took the bait. At the end of the essay, I found a comment that has caused me to ponder. Presumably defending the LDS (or Mormon) faith, the commenter wrote the following:
"I think a very large problem people have is judging a religion by trying to determine if it is "true." It's just not what religion is about. Good inclusive and loving religion is about goodness, not about truth. It's easy to disprove any religion technically - or any other superstition. Rejecting Mormonism by finding it untrue is silly. Judge it for its goodness. No religion is "true." Religions vary a great deal in how good they are, and Mormonism is one of the very best."
Religion isn't about truth? Really? If religion isn't about truth, then what, exactly, is the purpose of religion? I can join a club or a social movement if I need an organization to help me to do good, effect positive change in the world. But I want something more powerful than that. I want the power that comes with having faith in something absolutely unshakeable, something greater than the universe, something beyond human control. I want truth.
I realize, in my quest for truth, that I will have to sacrifice to obtain it. I may have to sacrifice the comfort of personal habit or public opinion. I expect to work and find myself pushed to my limits occasionally, because I have never had a truly amazing moment of clarity and beauty that came without sweat or tears. In fact, the LDS prophet Joseph Smith once taught that "a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has the power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation."
While Joseph Smith may not resonate with everyone, the concept that the worthwhile things of life require sacrifice certainly seems to resonate with people of all cultures and persuasions. Interestingly, as our modern culture moves away from organized religion, we seem to create our own sacrifices to replace those formerly imposed by the religions we shun. Record numbers of athletes run marathons and ultra marathons each year. Fitness enthusiasts from teenagers to grandmothers groan under the strain of a daily crossfit workout. We eat bitter kale and forego gluten and sugar and meat (which makes the WholeFoods skit by Studio C particularly hilarious). We sacrifice our families and our joy to devote most of our waking hours to our careers. We search and search and search…for truth, though we may phrase it differently.
So I will be bold and declare my search for absolute truth. I believe I have found the avenue (or perhaps the container) for that truth in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, not because the LDS church sets itself apart and closes its doors against the tenets of other faiths or the discoveries of science or academia, but precisely because the gospel encompasses and accepts all truth. The grandfather of LDS apostle Henry B. Eyring once told his son, "…in this church you don't have to believe anything that isn't true. You go over to the University of Arizona and learn everything you can, and whatever is true is part of the gospel." I have always loved that quote and have let it inform my life.
Another concept that I find critical in my search for truth and God is the notion that truth comes to me when I act, whether that action involves serving others, enduring with grace or wrestling through to the solution of a spiritual conundrum. Eugene England, an LDS intellectual, once wrote an essay called "Why the Church is as True as the Gospel," an essay that has proved pivotal for me in how I approach my religious life.
In the essay, Mr. England points out that "the (LDS) Church is as 'true,' as effective, as sure an instrument of salvation as the system of doctrines we call the gospel-and that that is so in good part because of the very flaws, human exasperations, and historical problems that occasionally give us all some anguish." We all experience the frustrations of imperfect leaders, doctrines that may clash with our comfortable existence or with each other, or opportunities to serve with those who may drive us to the point of insanity with their habits or prejudices. But as we seek divine guidance in working through these exasperations, and as we act rather than grumble (or even act while grumbling, sometimes), we eventually push through to astonishing vistas of truth that we could not have understood without the struggle. We come to know Jesus Christ by walking in His footsteps for a time.
Yes, religion should be loving and inclusive, should inspire goodness in the community it serves. And if a religion is to truly save souls and offer the riches of eternity, it should also be true.

Those Things You Should Never Say
|Go ahead, ask me when I'm due. I dare you!
Having been a pregnant woman, a grieving spouse, a working mom, a stay at home mom, and a hundred other "someones," I thought I should probably take a look at some of the utterances that any thinking person should have known never to say to me at that particular period of my life.
Apparently, I should have taken great offense as a working mother if anyone told me that I looked exhausted. Ooh, well. The fact of the matter is that I was exhausted. My one-year old seemed to catch every childhood illness that breathed its way through daycare. I travelled frequently. Management duties kept me up at night when the baby did not. Yep, I had days when my eyes wanted nothing more than to close for just a few seconds of quiet bliss. You would have been an idiot not to notice, and it's OK that you mentioned it. I found myself even more exhausted as a stay at home mom, and it's OK that you noticed then, as well. The working mother blogger supported her plea for inoffensive comments with her assertion that "I am no different than anyone else." All right, sweetie, I'll take you at your word and stop tip-toeing around you.
Hundreds of sites list terrible things never to say to a pregnant woman. Well yes, let's walk right into that mine field. Give a woman an overload of hormones and a few inches around the tummy and thighs (and arms and cheeks and ankles) and there really is no way to be sure you will say the right thing. Most of us cry and huff and puff and eventually get over the questions and advice once the hormones have subsided. One blog author differentiated between the childless person who offends with the comment "get all the sleep you can now" and the new parent who appropriately commiserates with the very same comment. Hmm…what if that childless person deals with infertility and is simply trying her best to relate to you in a condition she will never have, no matter how much she wants a child? I am quite certain that one of those 10 Things You Should Never Say to a Person Who Can't Conceive runs along the lines of "You wouldn't understand because you have never had a child."
As a 20-something widow, I appreciated the fact that a select group of people actually could empathize with my situation and knew instinctively what to say. At the same time, I appreciated all of the bumbling attempts to connect with me by friends and strangers who knew they could never say the right thing but wanted to open their mouth in support anyway. Thank you for not letting your fear of casting offense keep you from walking across the room to speak to me. I know how long that walk can be, how you rehearse in your mind what you will say to the wounded woman who feels a pain you may never experience.
One snarky blogger ended her post with a statement that brought her a little redemption in my eyes. "The questions and words should not be filled with judgment but with support." Yes, yes! Exactly. If you want to be helpful, tell me what I should say in support instead of automatically assuming I mean to be judgmental. I don't (well, most of the time, anyway). Generally, I genuinely want to connect with those around me who deal with addictions, depression, stress, illness and a host of other challenges that life throws at all of us. I try my best. I fail a lot. And I will continue to believe that freezing in silent fear of saying the wrong thing is generally much worse than reaching out my hand in love and trying my best to connect with another human being.

2013: Gratitude for Good Things
|The Family, August 2013
January marked our 19th wedding anniversary. That means, of course, that in just a couple of weeks we will celebrate 20 years of marital bliss. Once upon a time, we planned to celebrate our 20th in Scotland or Italy. As the milestone drew closer, we scaled the plan back to a return to Key West (where we celebrated our 10th). Now, with the day fast approaching, I'm thinking we'll maybe go out to dinner and catch some live music downtown. Reality has a way of catching up with us!
Central Illinois Jazz Festival in Decatur, an event we will most certainly make an annual tradition. Then we sent Alec off to Logan, Utah for the out-of-staters weekend at Utah State University. After a weekend of college life and snowboarding, his senioritis really kicked into gear!
March brought spring break for the kiddos, which began with our one real snowstorm of the year and ended with a wonderful family getaway to St. Louis. We built a magical snow castle, cavorted with butterflies at the Butterfly House and crawled through endless tunnels at the City Museum.
April flew past, with May and the end of the school year fast on its heels. Alec and Juliana celebrated the end of early morning seminary, while Jared and Kristina left 7th and 1st grade in the dust. Days later, Alec graduated from high school and wowed us with his senior piano recital. We love having a houseful of pianists!
July brought a flurry of house guests, culminating in Devin's long-anticipated return from his mission to San Antonio, Texas. Nothing stacks up to that first post-mission hug...even though we only got to keep him home for a week before Devin and Alec headed off to Logan and a semester as roommates at Utah State. Juliana flew West days later for an absolutely perfect bucket list hiking trip in the Wind Rivers. Brad took his turn in the Rockies in October when he joined the boys in the Salt Lake temple as Alec began preparing for his mission to Paris, France. (He's scheduled to enter the MTC on January 22, and he's beyond excited!)
In November, Brad and Jared officially ended the football season with a tournament in Missouri, and Brad thoroughly enjoyed what will probably be his last chance to coach one of his sons in football. Then we put the pads away and pulled out the basketballs for the next few months. Even Kristina gets into the action this time, playing on two teams.
Now here we are, basking in our Christmas goodie hangovers. Brad's parents and sister and our big boys all made it to the prairie for Christmas, and we are filling every bit of remaining space in the memory jar. For the first time in years I have enjoyed the Christmas season from beginning to end. For that, for family and for countless gifts from the Savior whose birth we have so enjoyed celebrating, I find myself filled to the brim with gratitude.

Sarah Laughed
|And Sarah Laughed, by Abel Pann
Do you remember the Old Testament account of Sarah and Abraham? Like most good Hebrew women, Sarah desired to raise children. To add strength to that perfectly righteous desire, God had promised Abraham that his posterity would be as the sands of the sea. And yet, not only did Sarah fail to conceive, but she had to watch her handmaid, Hagar, deliver Abraham's child in her place. For decades Sarah suffered the disappointment and shame of her childless condition, until at last she reached menopause. And then, one day she stood in the tent door listening while a holy man told Abraham, "Sarah thy wife shall have a son." What did Sarah do? She laughed to herself. The holy man promised the impossible; it was past time.
A couple of days before my recent fit of melancholy, I sat in the temple listening for the inspiration and answers that generally come to me there. The thought that tiptoed through my mind was a vision of Sarah and the gift of Isaac, a gift that came to her only after she had given up hope. Like Sarah, I had for decades desired a particular blessing. It was a perfectly righteous desire and, like Sarah, I had mostly given up hope of receiving that blessing. Mostly, but not quite. Recent events had rekindled just a spark of my hope, and the reminder of Sarah fanned the flame.
Sadly, the evening brought a resounding "no," seemingly straight from Heaven, and the loss of a newly revived hope sent me spiraling downward. My heart cracked just enough to let the faith drain out and the melancholy rush in to take its place. My husband flew to Utah on a trip that now seemed pointless, while I wallowed back at home. But sunshine and exercise, friends and the memory of faith lifted me. I still doubted my own ability to recognize inspiration, but I decided I could live without the desired blessing. After all, I had lived without it for years already.
In the midst of the calm, the phone rang. Astonishingly, the resounding "no" had turned to a "yes." Only after it was impossible did the blessing arrive. The next day, some of the people I love best of all stood together in one of the places I love best. Back home, I smiled. God remembered Sarah, even though she laughed, just as God remembered Rachel and millions of other covenant women. And God remembered me. It feels good to be remembered. I'm humbled that I dared to think my Father would forget me.
It occurs to me that I have not, in fact, really told the rest of the story. After all, most of the telling belongs to other actors in the scene. Truth be told, I suspect that in the end this episode will prove to be just a small part of a tale that continues to unfold. But it is enough to remind me that my notions of possibility can hardly hem in the God of the Universe.

Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, is the man with all the superhero secrets. He knows everything about all the Marvel movies we will be getting and hope to be getting, and naturally when Mr. Feige goes out in public to promote 'Thor 2,' you can bet he's gonna get a ton of questions about the current and upcoming slate of Marvel movies.
As it so happens, he did get those questions and he gave a lot of answers. So, what have we learned about Phase 3?

Even Ben Affleck Hates 'Daredevil,' Says His 2003 Was 'Horrible'Mike Sampson September 14, 2012 10:35 AM
It's nothing short of remarkable how Ben Affleck has turned his career around. Once thought of as a joke, the actor-turned-director is back at top form and could very well wind up seeing his latest film, 'Argo,' nominated for Best Picture. But if this is Affleck's career high, it wasn't that long ago that he had hit his career low.
Men Without Fear: Five Directors Who Could Save 'Daredevil'Don Kaye August 23, 2012 03:10 PM

Joe Carnahan Unleashes His 'Daredevil' Sizzle ReelsDamon Houx August 14, 2012 09:15 PM
It looks like Joe Carnahan's take on 'Daredevil' will be one of those great "What If" projects that fans will speculate about for a long time, like David Lynch directing 'Return of the Jedi' or Ridley Scott helming 'Dune.' Carnahan said on Twitter he would unleash his demo reels if his followers were interested, and now we have them.
'Daredevil' is Returning to MarvelDamon Houx August 14, 2012 06:50 PM
When we reported earlier today that Joe Carnahan's attempt to reboot 'Daredevil' was rejected, it seemed likely that the property -- which was controlled by 20th Century Fox -- would fall back into the hands of Marvel. With so little time left on the clock, that's exactly what's happening.
'Daredevil' Reboot in Trouble as Joe Carnahan's Pitch Goes "Up in Smoke"Mike Sampson August 14, 2012 08:35 AM
The 'Daredevil' reboot Fox is currently planning is working under a tight time constraint. The studio has until October 10th to greenlight the project before the rights revert back to Marvel Studios. The project seemed to have some life when Fox brought in director Joe Carnahan ('The Grey') who had some passion for the material. Sadly, it doesn't look as if Fox shared that passion.
'Daredevil' Could be Helmed by Joe Carnahan Under Certain ConditionsBritt Hayes August 06, 2012 05:00 PM
Things get a little tricky when some of your characters belong to another studio -- such is the case with Marvel Studios and Fox. Fox wants Joe Carnahan on the 'Daredevil' reboot, but those rights are going to run out soon. Solution: Fox and Marvel are discussing a trade that would give Silver Surfer and Galactus back to Marvel in exchange for more time with the blind superhero.
'Fantastic Four' Reboot Gains a Director, 'Daredevil' Reboot Loses OneDamon Houx July 11, 2012 10:30 PM
'The Amazing Spider-Man' has cleared $150 Million domestically and $350 worldwide, which means that studios can feel safe about rebooting their superhero films. And with 'The Avengers' and Spidey kicking box office butt, Fox is looking to move forward on rebooting 'Fantastic Four' and 'Daredevil.'
'Daredevil' is Getting Rebooted Whether You Want it or NotDamon Houx April 27, 2012 09:13 PM
Previous to becoming their own studio, the way Marvel Comics negotiated their deals was that you had to keep a project going in order to retain the rights to sequels, etc. Which explains why Columbia Pictures has rebooted 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and why Fox is trying to hold on to The Fantastic Four and Daredevil. So now Fox has got David Slade and a writer attached to a 'Daredevil' reboot.

I'm currently designing and prototyping the architecture for a web application that comprises of three parts, a Restful API (JSON, XML) interface served from a Rails app, a Backbone.js application being supported by a second Rails app, and an Android application that accesses data via the API.
Whereas the usual process of authenticating the user (redirecting to the login page) will work for the Backbone.js application, I want to use a single access token from the Android application to authenticate the user. I can see how upon first use the Android app would require a username and password, passing back from the CAS server additional information that would contain the pre-generated single access token. What I can't work out is how I would pass the single access token along with a request from the client and have that authenticated against CAS without redirecting to a login page etc.
What I need to know is whether this possible with CAS or is there a method that is more the "CAS way" that I can use to achieve the same result?
I've experimented with Devise and the CAS plugin devise_cas_authenticatable but this appears to be broken with the latest version of Devise. Ideally I want to use sorcery with my own implementation of single access token generation, all hooked up to CAS. I'm very new to CAS and what it can do so I'm trying to sound out what's possible first and then I'll contribute back to rubycas-client and sorcery if any new development is required that I'm able to code up.
Thanks in advance

Greenland's Ice Sheet Unstable and Rapidly Melting as Rise in World Sea Levels Accelerate

Greenland's ice sheet is rapidly melting and no longer stable. According to a new study, the rise in sea levels will begin to accelerate because of Greenland's thinning ice sheet. Scientists have already known that Greenland's ice sheet has been melting for decades.

However, this was the first time that they've discovered that the melting is also happening in the northern region of the world's second biggest ice sheet. The findings revealed that the ice loss in Greenland's northern region has almost tripled.
Michael Bevis, the study's co-author and Earth Sciences professor at Ohio State University, has seen rapid ice loss. Professor Bevis said more ice is leaving Greenland than snow arriving to take the place of lost ice. He said the accelerating ice loss in the northeast region is a surprise to the research team.
Greenland's ice sheet covers 80 per cent of the country's surface and is second only to Antarctica in size. The melting Greenland ice sheet has been a major contributor to the rise of sea levels around the world in the last two decades.
According to the study published in the Nature Climate Change journal, Greenland's ice loss has been responsible for one-sixth of the world's annual rise in sea levels. Scientists associate the rapid ice loss to increasing air temperatures. An outlet glacier located in the northeast part of Greenland has declined 12.4 miles in the last 10 years. Scientists said the rate is faster than southwest Greenland's Jakobshavnglacier's decline of 21.7 miles in the last 150 years.
Scientists have discovered that Greenland's ice sheet has become unstable in 2003. Several hot summers also contributed to melting and calving events which also led to chunks of ice falling from glaciers.
The study also revealed that Greenland's northeast region had lost 10 billion tonnes of ice per year between April 2003 and April 2012. As a result, more water is flowing into the world's oceans.
