Cell's skeleton is never stillNovember 24, 2014 11:23 am | by Mike Williams, Rice Univ. | News | Comments
New computer models that show how microtubules age are the first to match experimental results and help explain the dynamic processes behind an essential component of every living cell, according to Rice Univ. scientists. The results could help scientists fine-tune medications that manipulate microtubules to treat cancer and other diseases.
Terahertz device could strengthen securityNovember 24, 2014 11:12 am | by Northwestern Univ. | News | Comments
We are all familiar with the hassles that accompany air travel. We shuffle through long lines, remove our shoes, and carry liquids in regulation-sized tubes. And even after all the effort, we still wonder if these procedures are making us any safer. Now a new type of security detection that uses terahertz radiation is looking to prove its promise.
Nanoparticles infiltrate, kill cancer cells from withinNovember 24, 2014 11:06 am | by Melanie Titanic-Schefft, Univ. of Cincinnati | News | Comments
Conventional treatment seeks to eradicate cancer cells by drugs and therapy delivered from outside the cell, which may also affect (and potentially harm) nearby normal cells. In contrast to conventional cancer therapy, a Univ. of Cincinnati team has developed several novel designs for iron-oxide based nanoparticles that detect, diagnose and destroy cancer cells using photo-thermal therapy (PTT).
Scientists do glass a solidNovember 24, 2014 10:52 am | by New York Univ. | News | Comments
How does glass transition from a liquid to its familiar solid state? How does this common material transport heat and sound? And what microscopic changes occur when a glass gains rigidity as it cools? A team of researchers at New York Univ.'s Center for Soft Matter Research offers a theoretical explanation for these processes in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Bee brains offer insights into how human memories formNovember 24, 2014 9:46 am | by Univ. of Queensland | News | Comments
Scientists have discovered that genes switch off as memories are being formed, allowing for new connections between nerve cells. The discovery could eventually lead to a key for treating conditions such as autism and dementia. Researchers studying honeybees during learning activities have shown that memory management in the bee brain is controlled by small genetic elements called microRNAs that help regulate gene expression.
Life's extremists may be an untapped source of antibacterial drugsNovember 24, 2014 9:29 am | by David Salisbury, Vanderbilt Univ. | News | Comments
One of the most mysterious forms of life may turn out to be a rich and untapped source of antibacterial drugs. The mysterious life form is Archaea, a family of single-celled organisms that thrive in environments like boiling hydrothermal pools and smoking deep sea vents which are too extreme for most other species to survive.

For important tumor-suppressing protein, context is keyNovember 24, 2014 8:19 am | by Dan Krotz, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | Comments
Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have learned new details about how an important tumor-suppressing protein, called p53, binds to the human genome. As with many things in life, they found that context makes a big difference. The researchers mapped the places where p53 binds to the genome in a human cancer cell line.
Measuring NIF's enormous shocksNovember 24, 2014 8:10 am | by Breanna Bishop, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | News | Comments
NIF experiments generate enormous pressures in a short time. When a pressure source of this type is applied to any material, the pressure wave in the material will quickly evolve into a shock front. One of NIF's most versatile and frequently used diagnostics, the Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR), is used to measure these shocks, providing vital information for future experiment design and calibration.
Model evaluates where bioenergy crops grow bestNovember 24, 2014 7:59 am | by Liz Ahlberg, Physical Sciences Editor, Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign | News | Comments
Farmers interested in bioenergy crops now have a resource to help them determine which kind of bioenergy crop would grow best in their regions and what kind of harvest to expect. Researchers at the Univ. of Illinois have published a study identifying yield zones for three major bioenergy crops.
Overcoming limitations of magnetic storageNovember 24, 2014 7:49 am | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
Researchers at Nano-Meta Technologies Inc. have shown how to overcome key limitations of a material that could enable the magnetic storage industry to achieve data-recording densities far beyond today's computers. The new technology could make it possible to record data on an unprecedented small scale using tiny "nanoantennas" and to increase the amount of data that can be stored on a standard magnetic disk by 10 to 100 times.
Building on-ramp to cloud computingNovember 24, 2014 7:43 am | by Mike Williams, Rice Univ. | News | Comments
Rice Univ. is preparing to offer its researchers who deal in "big data" the opportunity to compute in the cloud with fewer barriers. Rice is installing the Big Research Data Cloud (BiRD Cloud), which will allow for cloud bursting. That means data-intensive tasks can spill over into outside cloud-computing systems when necessary, essentially providing unlimited computing capacity.

By: ZFisher from Newtown, CT

Year after year, if there's one dry fly that out produces any other dry fly in my box it's some version, size, or color of the Sparkle Dun. I recall one evening last summer on the Farmington River where I could do not wrong with my Sparkle Dun during a delightful Sulphur hatch. This fly floats low in the water so I expect it attracts a lot of attention as a cripple/emerger and the Deer Hair wing helps it stay afloat regardless of molestations by fish or broken water. A great fly!
great fly -
By: flyguy2
I was up fishing the Kennebec river recently, and it was poor fishing to say the least. I had caught nothing. Threw on this fly, and first cast, 17 inch brookie on. Over the next hour, I caught and released 10 more fish, including a 19 inch brookie. Great fly to use.

You should put this fly on. When you see rises everywhere but no sailboats on the water, put one of these on and try a drift.

Ok, so I'm trying to figure out the Cylon number system. So far we have: ONE: Cavil TWO: Leoben THREE: D'anna FOUR: Simon FIVE: Doral SIX: Caprica Six/Natalie and EIGHT: Boomer/Athena.
Where's SEVEN?
The creators have stated that the Hybrids count as "ZERO" and that the final five do not have numbers numbers. Then why have 123456-8? Can the Cylons count??? It's a little annoying... I mean it can't be another model was boxed cause there are only 12 models, and Raiders and Centurions don't count! So the missing Seven thing is the new mystery that is driving me nuts. Wouldn't it have just been easier if they have given the final five numbers just to solve the Seven mystery? I guess the writers wanted to drive someone like me crazy. Good job guys!!!

How To Tell If A Guy Likes You
Does he like me? Is it as a friend or is there more to it? Many women struggle with finding out how to tell if a guy likes them. Men will often put out conflicting and ambiguous signals making it difficult for a woman to figure it out. But there are ways to discover what he really means. The evidence is in his body language. Below are 5 ways to know if a guy likes you:
How to tell, Sign #1: He quickly changes how he speaks.
His voice will go soft and he'll start to talk at a slower pace. It's an indication that his words are only for you. He doesn't want other people to hear. It's his way of creating an us vs. the world mentality. It's important to note that this tell is subject to change. If you're at a loud bar or club, then he will have to speak louder to be heard. Wait until you can spend some time outside that environment to take advantage of this tell.
How to tell, Sign #2: He will mirror your body language.
We are drawn to people who act like us and share our own ideals. When a man is interested in you, he will often unconsciously copy your body language and mannerisms to create this bond. If you adjust your body position and he mimics you shortly after, there is a very good chance he is into you.
How to tell, Sign #3: He moves in closer.
If a guy likes you, he will often move closer to you in a desire for more intimate contact. Common examples include a guy inching toward you as you talk or a guy choosing the same side of the booth as you. Whether you are standing or sitting, a desire to be closer is a definite sign of interest.
How to tell, Sign #4: He has sticky eyes.
As we become more interested, our eyes start to linger. We hold eye contact for much longer. We can't seem to take our eyes off the other person (in a non-creeper way).
How to tell, Sign #5: He has triangle eyes.
This is a progression on the previous tell. He will be holding eye contact much longer, but in this case, he will move his eyes in a triangular pattern. He will begin looking at one eye, then the other, and then drop his eyes down to your lips. This will usually be repeated several times. It will be hard to miss if you're paying attention. It's a signal that he is interested in kissing you.
There are many additional signs to look for. These additional tells include:
More open, friendly body language:
- His lips parting.
- He raises his eyebrows.
- His nostrils flare.
Body language to impress you:
- He'll shift to an upright, erect alpha male position.
- He'll spread his legs while sitting across from you, revealing his crotch.
- He'll stand with his hands on his hips to show off his physique.
Nervous fiddling gestures:
- He'll play with the buttons on his jacket.
- He'll touch his face often.
Protective gestures:
- He'll lend you his coat/sweater/hoodie.
- He'll put his arm on your elbow or your low back to guide you through crowds.
If you're curious how to tell if a guy like you, look to the above signs. You can't rely off any one sign, but if you see a couple of these signals and notice a pattern, there is a very high chance that he likes you. It's up to you if you want to initiate from there or flirt a little more to encourage him to act.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, Spark gave to me:
Twelve months of tracking
Eleven thousand fitness minutes
Ten (times three!) pounds lost
Nine glasses of water a day
Eight 5Ks run
Seven days a week of goal-meeting
Six trophies for points
Five log-in points!
Four support teams
Three healthy meals a day
Two treats a week
And a healthy and happy new me!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my wonderful Spark Buddies! Couldn't have done it without you!
I've been sick and hurting and lazy, so I haven't been a gym regular in about two weeks. Eek! Yesterday I felt good to go - I woke up early, got a great workout in, and then thought to myself "I really should weigh myself." Ugh. Two weeks of hardly any gym? Christmas cookies? Sickness? Got on the scale and... I nearly fell off! I actually was down at my previous low! I didn't gain any weight. huh. So that was a nice start to the week.
I can see how lots of people (myself included) put off the gym this time of year. Cookies to bake, presents to wrap, cleaning to do... it was so easy for me to say "One day of skipping the gym won't hurt." But soon it turned into a week... and then I was sick, so it turned into *another* week... If I wouldn't have sucked it up yesterday, I KNOW that it would have turned into "well I can just hold off until the new year. Then I'll get back into it." I nipped that right in the bud!
Two more days of school until break... I am looking forward to the holiday craziness to be over and the relaxing to begin. Can't wait to take some time for myself and get some important stuff done.
Thank you to everyone for being so supportive in my last blog about moving - it's a risk and I'm a little anxious about it, but I think we are making the right decision. We're starting to look at jobs and apartments in Vancouver; we are really excited! It's going to be such an adventure! I never knew I had this desire for all this change - I really think that by using Spark I discovered a lot about my true self.
Happy Tuesday!
I've certainly been getting my share of thinking these last few days!
When I was younger, I always felt as if I was more like my mom than my dad. I was happy with this - she spent her money when she wanted to, she was very close to her family, and she knew a ton of people wherever we went. My dad? "No way," I thought. He cut coupons, wanted to save his money, and while he talked to his family, they lived in different areas of the country. As I grew up I was very happy. I liked being close to my family, I liked spending my money when I wanted to...
About three years ago my fiance and I moved a bit away from our families. Only about 60 miles, but it's farther away than I had ever been, even for college. I have really gotten a chance to think about what is important to me, without having family pressure. (I never realized that this pressure was there until I moved away.) I decided I really liked getting involved in causes I believed in, running, being fit, saving money, living simply... things that I never thought would ever be a part of me. Things that really are more like... my dad! Who'd have thunk?
Fast forward to this holiday season. I have really discovered myself... I am confident in who I've become, and I finally feel as if I have defined myself. I know exactly who I am. This me is not anything like I was in the past. I think this is difficult for my mom to take in, or maybe even for me to take in, too. I feel like I'm not as close to my mom anymore. Today she called to ask what I wanted for Christmas - my aunt and uncle were going shopping and they wanted to know - and when I told her I really didn't know, she sounded annoyed. It was just weird. She also asked how I was, and I told her I was sick. I took a sick day yesterday, and I woke up with a cough and some chest pain today so I took another sick day and went to the doctor and got some meds. When I told her this, she said "oh, really?" like she was reprimanding me for taking two sick days in a row. I felt like a little kid. Like I had to justify being sick.
How do I get over this? I know I don't need my mom's permission to do stuff, but I just feel like in some way I do.
My honey and I want to move to a city in the summer. We want a smaller place, we don't want to own a home right now, we want to be close to more culture and fun stuff, and we want to live a little "greener" by getting by on one car and a couple of bikes. We have been looking at Philadelphia, Toronto, Vancouver, and Portland. Philly is closest, by far, to my family. My mom is not so keen on the idea.
But I called my dad to tell him of our plans, and he is supportive. He thinks while we have the chance to do it, we should.
I don't know if this sounds horrible, but I feel like I am a little healthier when I am living my own life. I love my family and I wouldn't be who I am today without them, but I feel like I can live my life when I am not feeling like I have to live up to their ideas of what I *should* be doing with my life.
How do I keep from feeling like I need permission to do everything? I don't want to disappoint my mom but I need to live my life, even if it means moving kinda far away for a while.
Sigh... 'tis the season.
Today is a sick day. Last night I felt just awful, and today is not much better. I've been living on the couch and enjoying my Nyquil.
Sunday was brunch at my mom's house. My fiance and his parents were there; we had a really nice time. The drive down and back was not so good - a bit icy and dark. But since I drive slow anyway, we made it just fine. The visit made me think a lot - how I eat now is a lot LOT different than I used to eat. So of course, I noticed some habits at brunch. Made me not miss being younger.
- Had on my skinny jeans (because, dammit, I can finally *wear* skinny jeans!), and my mom and I were talking and she said something to the effect of "well you certainly can't go any tighter" with the tone of "you are just about spilling out of those" which is totally not true. The waist is a little loose, and the legs have plenty of room in them. I was instantly transported back to my younger days when my mom would say things like "You're a 14 trying to fit into a 4"; "Well it *almost* fits," and various other comments that made me feel like a whale. I was so sad inside. It's those kinds of comments that I had put out of my mind. When she said that, I couldn't help but think of them again.
- I have a serious problem with Jenny Craig. I think it's crazy that people pay that much money for pre-packaged food and a weekly weigh-in. My mom is one of those crazy people. She has lost weight with Jenny Craig (well who wouldn't, when you can only eat 1200 calories a day?), but on Sunday I saw a real reason why those programs don't work. They don't teach you anything other than how to open cans and boxes. We had Monkey Bread for brunch (a really gooey cinnamon bread - yum) and there was some left over. As I was getting ready to leave, I saw my mom just picking at the bread. All I could think was "OMG does she know how many calories she just ate?" I knew that because Spark taught me to really look at my food. Knowledge is power. Most diet programs don't have people eating real food, so as soon as they are presented with something other than the pre-packaged stuff, nobody knows how much they are really eating.
But anyway, there is some happy. Yesterday I went to the dentist to pick up my new braces and both the dentist and her assistant asked me if I lost weight. Wahoo! I haven't really, but it would seem that the extra strength training I'm doing is paying off in how I look. Yay!
I have some homemade chicken noodle soup tonight, courtesy of my honey. He made some for me last night when I felt crappy, and I have some leftover for tonight. I'm so looking forward to eating it. SO much better than a can!
back to the couch for some TV, nap, and water.
So about a week ago I decided to change my nutrition and fitness input so that it would calculate for me to lose a pound a week. Now I would be perfectly happy with 1/2 a pound a week, but I thought that maybe if I calculated for 1 pound a week, I'd def be able to keep within my calorie range. I think my trick is working. Even though yesterday and today I went over my calorie for the day, when I mentally think of it as an entire week's worth of eating, I think I did pretty well on average. It's amazing what a little trickery can do.
I've been going back and forth on whether or not to weigh myself until after the holidays. I joined a challenge to *not* weigh myself until after New Year's, and I also read a blog and article about weighing in every day to keep from losing track of my weight. I find myself leaning toward weighing in every day. While I want to enjoy myself over the holidays, I want to stay trim even more. I am about 5 pounds away from my next major goal - at this point, even if I gain one pound over the holidays, one pound gained seems like a big jump in the wrong direction. Five pounds and I will no longer be "overweight." I don't think there was ever a time in my life where I was not "overweight" as determined by a chart.
Tomorrow is brunch with my mom and my fiance's parents. It's the first time that his parents are going to my mom's house. Big day!
Off to finish this glass of delicious Pinot Noir and then to retire to the couch under the down comforter. Some nights I think I could just live on the couch.

Keller's answer to every church's question
The City to City Europe conference is getting off to a great start here in Berlin.
500 delegates from 26 countries representing over 100 nations all concerned to see churches planted across Europe has to be reason to rejoice and a reason for hope.
We've heard of God richly blessing planting initiatives and we've heard of God richly blessing faithful church-planters who's work is hard because there is little fruit.
One planter of a church in Paris described 'the privilege of ploughing where the ground is hard', another in Frankfurt described the challenge of being a bi-vocational Pastor with a weekly congregation of 15 of so. Both stories are reminders of why we need to pray for our countries in Europe.
Tim Keller gave the first keynote address on the gospel-centred church and here's one gem of an answer to a thoughtful question that came out of his talk.
How can we know whether our church is either too accommodating to the culture of our city or not accommodating enough?
Keller's answer: A church that is not accommodating, culturally, will be seeing no conversions because no-one will ever come through the door. A church that is too accommodating, culturally, will be seeing lots of new people attending but no changed lives because the church is only mirroring the culture rather than critiquing the culture.
So a gospel church in a city should be willing and able to flex on the negotiables making it's meetings accessible to non-believers but not flexing on gospel-living as the church challenges the culture by being an attractive and distinctive gospel-community.
Deciding when and how to celebrate the culture of a city and when and how to critique the culture of a city is the art of being a church-planter.
Bringing your children along to 'big church' – why and how to worship as families in church
We have a 5 year old son who attends our church twice on a Sunday. In the mornings we spend the first 15 minutes together in the service before he heads next door for Kidz Sunday School but he also attends each evening service where he sits through the full 80-90 minutes. He's not the only child there and as a church we are slowly developing a culture in which our children feel welcome and included in the evening service so that families can worship together.
Here are a couple of quite excellent posts by Jen Wilkin on why worship together as families and then how to make it work.
She writes of the excellent children's work at her church;
We see it as a rich and relevant worship environment for a child, as a vibrant supplement for "big church". But not as a substitute for it.
She also recognises that things are far from simple when you bring your kids to big church;
Together hasn't always been easy. I recall long worship services with four elementary-aged children scribbling with crayons, begging for gum, and contorting themselves like miniature yogis in the pew. Just remembering it makes my eye twitch. But over time, with clear participation expectations, creative activities and the right cocktail of punishments and rewards our kids have grown to see "big church" not as a place they tolerate but as a place they belong.
But she is full of practical wisdom too on how to help your child sit through the service and participate in the service. Her tips on debriefing after the service are terrific too;
After attending Big Church together, remember to talk to your child about how it went and what could go differently next week.
Why not read the two posts Worship together and Big church for small kids for the bigger picture.
In our service on Sunday evening I preached on Exodus chapter 4-5 and we wrestled with the issue of who was responsible for the hardness of Pharaoh's heart. I asked the congregation mid-way through the service 'so who was it; Pharaoh or God?' A five year old shouted out 'God' loud enough for the whole church to hear as she continued to colour her picture next to her father. That was quite possibly the highlight of our evening.
Joan Bakewell on why we're becoming more cruel…surprising conclusion!
A fascinating interview on the Radio 4 Today programme this morning led to this exchange:
James Naughty in conversation with Joan Bakewell, recently appointed a Government Champion of the elderly.
Naughty: What did you conclude about how are we beginning to look at people who perhaps need at lot of help, a lot of care, who perhaps can be difficult and require a different kind of approach from people who maybe 50 years younger than they are?
Bakewell: …On the whole our society is quite cruel. We care about money, we care about fame, success.
Naughty: Has it got more cruel?
Bakewell: I think the decline of religious commitment to charity, and kindness has declined.
Nobody learns that. They don't learn it in their home, they don't learn it in their school, it's seen as soft, it's not what you're about. You're meant to stand up for your own individual personality, make your way in the world and good luck to you.
Kindness, empathy, generousity are all in short supply and people used to learn it from the churches. I learnt it in Sunday school.
Where do you learn it now? I don't know.

why the missional church will fail
A thought provoking article by Mike Breen that highlights the fact that we focus on reaching the world NOT by neglecting the church. In fact, unless we we make discipleship the heart of church life our mission will fail. Like building a car without an engine, being 'missional' is not enough.
Five sermons every Christian should read – No. 1
Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) was one of the most brilliant men Scotland has ever produced. Amongst his many achievements he was chair of moral philosophy at St. Andrews University and later chair of theology in Edinburgh. His influence and impact were truly massive and this short biography is well worth a read by way of introduction.
It is his sermon 'The expulsive power of a new affection' by which he is probably best known. It is based on 1 John 2:15 '" Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." and in the sermon Chalmers shows us how the gospel is God's means not only of forgiving our sin but bringing about the heart transformation that God promises us in the New Covenant.
Chalmers demonstrates how the gospel alone has the power to truly set us free from sin. Where will-power and external religion are powerless to bring about the necessary change of heart it is the gospel that has life-changing power.
How does it work? Quite simply 'the ONLY way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is by the expulsive power of a new one ' because 'what cannot be destroyed may be dispossessed'.
As we strive for godliness and if we're in ministry as we strive to lead others to godliness let us seek the beauty of Christ and let us nurture a new greater love, the love for Christ that delivers us from sin.
Below is an extract from the sermon:
The object of the gospel is both to pacify the sinner's conscience and to purify the heart, and it is of importance to observe that what mars the one of these objects mars the other also. The best way of casting out an impure affection is to admit a pure one….Thus it is that the freer the Gospel, the more sanctifying the Gospel. The more it is received as a doctrine of grace, the more it will be felt as a doctrine [leading to godliness]….
On the tenure of "do this and you will live", a spirit of fearfulness is sure to enter; and the jealousies of a legal bargain chase away all confidence of intimacy between God and man; and the creature striving to be square and even with his Creator is, in fact, pursuing all the while his own selfishness instead of God's glory. With all the conformities that he labors to accomplish, the soul of obedience is not there, the mind is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed under such an economy can it ever be. It is only when, as in the Gospel, acceptance is bestowed as a present, without money and without price, that the security which man feels in God is placed beyond the reach of disturbance. Only then can he repose in Him as one friend reposes in another…the one party rejoicing over the other to do him good…in the impulse of a gratitude, by which is he is awakened to the charms of a new moral existence.
Salvation by grace, salvation by free grace, salvation not by works but according to the mercy of God is indispensable…to…godliness. Retain a single shred or fragment of legality with the Gospel…and you take away the power of the Gospel to melt and conciliate. For this purpose, the freer it is, the better it is. That very peculiarity which so many dread as the germ of Antinomianism [lawlessness], is, in fact, the germ of a new spirit, and a new inclination against it.
Along with the light of a free Gospel, does there enter the love of the Gospel, which in proportion as you impair the freeness, you are sure to chase away. And never does the sinner find within himself so mighty a moral transformation, as when under the belief that he is saved by grace, he feels constrained thereby to offer his heart a devoted thing, and to deny ungodliness.
[Why is this grateful love so important?] It is seldom that any of our [bad habits or flaws] disappear by a mere process of natural extinction. At least, it is very seldom that this is done through the instrumentality of reasoning…or by the force of mental determination. But what cannot be destroyed may be dispossessed–and one taste may be made to give way to another, and to lose its power entirely as the reigning affection in the mind.
It is thus that the boy ceases at length to be a slave of his appetite, but it is because a [more 'mature'] taste has brought it into subordination. The youth ceases to idolize [sensual] pleasure, but it is because the idol of wealth has…gotten the ascendancy. Even the love of money can cease to have mastery over the heart because it is drawn into the whirl of [ideology and politics] and he is now lorded over by a love of power [and moral superiority]. But there is not one of these transformations in which the heart is left without an object. Its desire for one particular object is conquered—but its desire to have some object…is unconquerable….
The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is by the expulsive power of a new one…It is only…when admitted into the number of God's children, through faith in Jesus Christ, that the spirit of adoption is poured out on us–it is then that the heart, brought under the mastery of one great and predominant affection, is delivered from the tyranny of its former desires, and the only way that deliverance is possible.
Thus…it is not enough…to hold out to the world the mirror of its own imperfections. It is not enough to come forth with a demonstration of the evanescent character of your enjoyments…to speak to the conscience…of its follies….Rather, try every legitimate method of finding access to your hearts for the love of Him who is greater than the world.
Christian ministry will make you a much worse person than you would have been otherwise
The title for this post comes from Tim Keller and is taken from a paper pointing out the terrible consequences both for ministers and for churches of working from a wrong foundation and wrong motivators. I've suggested on this blog before that ALL ministry is either a search for a secure identity or flows out of a secure identity. In this paper Keller highlights what becomes of a Pastor who is working for his own justification;
Ministers must be willing to admit that their ministry-success is often the real or main basis for their joy and sense of significance, much more so than the love and regard they have from the Father in Christ. It is what they look to in order to feel they can stand with confidence before God and others and even their own reflection in the mirror. In other words, we look to ministry success to be for us what only Christ can be. All ministers who know themselves will be fighting that all their lives. It is the reason for turf-consciousness, for jealously, for comparing yourself to other ministers, for the need to control the church, for the feeling that when your ministry is criticized you are criticized.
The danger for many in gospel work is simply that somewhere down the line the functioning motivators change. As a young minister maybe it really was all about God and not about us. Maybe it really did flow out of a joy from being a child of God. But then maybe just as a result of forgetfulness or maybe as a result of jealousy or maybe the results of either success or failure the gospel was subtely replaced by a different and destructive motivator, self-justification. And when it did it started to change everything and to undo minster and congregation. No wonder Keller says we will fight it all our lives but fight it we must.
Anarchy in the UK – How should Christians think and respond to last nights events
Last night we saw the collapse of law and order on the streets of many parts of London and Birmingham. As Christians how do we respond?
1. We pray for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:2) that they may know how to deal with the unpredictable and escalating violence and lawlessness. For all in government at the local and national level as they prepare for the coming nights ahead.
2. We are not surprised by the events of the last few nights (although we are saddened and shocked) because as Christians we recognise the doctrine of total depravity when we see it. The actions of last night are not an indicator of social deprivation but of total depravity the doctrine which Wayne Grudem in his systematic theology defines as follows;
'because of the fall and our own wilful sinfulness all mankind are thoroughly corrupt and completely evil. We are restrained from living out our corruptness to its fulness by God's common grace.'
When the restraining power of the conscience within and law and order without are removed people are capable of committing great evils.
3. We thank God for his restraining hand that has kept our nation from a break down of law and order on countless occasions in the past. When we live at peace we are getting better than our sins deserve. When our streets are safe we remember how good God is to us and we do not take his common grace for granted. We pray that God in his mercy will restore law and order.
4. We pray for churches in the communities affected that they may speak out against such acts of evil and be salt and light. We pray in particular for those who run youth groups and clubs that interact with youth caught up in the events of last night that they may lead them to true repentance and faith in Christ.
5. We thank God for the bravery of many Police officers who have risked their lives to protect our streets. We see the image of God in their selfless acts and in their restraint. We pray for many who are working extra hours and have had annual leave cancelled to defend us.
6. We pray for those who committed these acts. That the Spirit of Christ may convict them of their sin and lead them to seek God's mercy and forgiveness.
7. We pray that justice will be done and seen to be done in the arrest of those responsible
Paul writes in Romans 13:2-3;
He who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted and those who do so will bring judgement on themselves.
8. We pray for those who have lost their livelihood or their homes and possessions. That believers would be comforted and supported in their loss and that the church may act decisively to bring relief to those in their distress.
9. We pray for all Christians that they may have opportunity to speak of Christ, sensitively and wisely, in their places of work and communities today. That we may
10. For the longer term we pray for our cities and in particular the inner cities where disaffection and dissatisfaction with life leads to lawlessness, criminality, to violence and to gang culture. We pray that gospel men and women will plant churches and develop ministries to see these young men and women won for Christ.
11. We pray for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and the establishment of his kingdom; for the time when he will remove all wickedness and evil from our world and for his perfect and good rule to be established in our world.
'How to fit hard thinking into a busy schedule' or '10 ways to make mental space for sermon writing'
Pastors and planters fit the profile for what Cal Newport calls 'To-do list creatives' perfectly which is what makes this article so helpful.
To-do list creatives are those who's work require them at times to be managers, organisers, administrators but also have to find time for 'high quality creative work'.
All pastors know the weekly battle between getting down to the sermon which requires a longer period(s) of concentrated time and the constant reminders of all the admin. yet to be done. Often that means that even when we sit down to get creative we find ourselves distracted.
Internal distraction comes from unprompted thoughts that pop into our heads that compete for our attention when we are trying to focus. We can't quite mentally switch off from busy thinking and make the necessary change of gear.
External distractions come from unwelcome interruptions that we (depending on our degree of discipline) comply with. So that could be phone-calls, twitter, e-mail, personal visits,etc.
Cal writes;
- Shifting Mental Modes: When the mind knows it has no interruptions looming, it can shift into the flow state required to produce high-quality output.
- Providing Freedom to Explore: Real creative work is non-linear, often requiring long, unexpected detours to uncover the contours of the problem at hand. Long stretches of time provide the freedom needed to feel comfortable indulging in these detours.
So for me the biggest challenge and the greatest threat to the sermon is not just finding time to be creative but protecting time. Even just one interruption to the flow can be a massive set-back and getting back into the 'zone' may take another 15 minutes.
So how do we manage the competing priorities? Here are 10 suggests for
1. Block out sermon prep slots in your week as non-negotiable, priority A tasks. Treat these windows as as if they were a 1-2-1 meeting with someone not least because they are!
2. Don't try to fit creative tasks in between administrative tasks.
Josh Kaufman in the Persoanl MBA writes:
I typically focus on writing for a few uninterrupted hours in the morning, then batch my calls and meetings in the afternoon. As a result, I can focus on both responsibilities with my full attention.
3. By far my most creative time is very early in the day. Early to bed means an early rise and some productive, undisturbed time.
4. In combating internal distractions I set aside particular days or sections of a day where I routinely and regularly prep. sermons. My mind begins to accept that, for example, tuesday and friday mornings are sermon prep. times and with structure as well as discipline in place I find it much easier to focus on these mornings. It also helps if others know that these are prep. times too!
5. Forewarding a draft of a sermon to one or two others in the church earlier in the week for comment and suggestions also functions as a great incentive to be disciplined and start early in the week.
6. A change of environment acts as a mental switch. Some people have two desks to work at, one for admin. the other for study. Some, like Mark Driscoll, prefer to have an office at church and a study at home.
7. Switching off the computer and preparing on paper combats both internal and external distractions,
8. A change of mood. Some people find that a change of lighting, music, etc. can be conducive to study.
9. Study days, well planned out in advance may give you 2 or 3 days of solid work on say a sermon series weeks or months in advance. Getting away from it all either mentally or even better mentally and physically get those creative juices flowing and give a good head-start.
10. And I hope it goes without saying that by far the best way of ensuring uninterrupted, undistracted work is to value the work of preaching the word of God above all things and to pray and work accordingly.

Product description
Return to the "steamy and dreamy" ("Publishers Weekly") world of Christine Feehan's "New York Times" bestselling Carpathian novels as thundering passions signal a dark force on the horizon... Buried alive for hundreds of years in a volcano in South America, Dax worries that he has become the abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body over the centuries. But Dax isn't the only one emerging from the darkness... His name is Mitro, and he once stood by the side of the prince of the Carpathian people. Now he is the epitome of malevolence, and perpetrator of one of the most shocking killing sprees known to man. No one escaped the bloodshed, including his lifemate, Arabejila. Now, between Dax and Mitro, a violent game has begun--one that has marked Riley Parker, the last descendent of Arabejila, as the reward.

While expecting her first foal, Rarity finds her relationship with Big Mac tested.
Sequel to "The Lucky One," but can be read on its own.
I thought I'd say a few words about my writing process for Mistaken for Strangers, like I did for The Lucky One (That can be found at the end of my fanfiction.net version). It seemed more appropriate to make it its own blog post than to tack it on to the end of the last chapter.
This story was both easier and harder to write than The Lucky One. The actual writing itself was easier. For one, I had more of a general idea of where I wanted the story to go before I started. The harder part was editing. Well, not really the editing itself, but getting myself to do it. I worked a lot with Hyperexponential from ponychan to try and get it up to shape (he really did an outstanding job by the way; he really helped me tighten up and improve upon a lot of major elements). There was a lot of back and forth between us, which went fine at first, but as the story drew near completion I found myself more and more reluctant to work on it. After Hyperexponential and I finished, I got one more quick review from Ponyfanficer, and I found I simply could not bring myself to put the finishing touches on the story and upload it. It sat waiting for a couple months before I finally managed to finish it. I found it helped if I left the house and worked on it at someplace like Starbucks (Yes, I'm one of those pretentious jerks you see typing away on their laptop at Starbucks so that all the world can look on in wonder). I think the reason I had writers block on this story and not on The Lucky One, is that I had gone into writing The Lucky One with no real expectations. My goal had been simply been to actually write a complete story, rather than create some masterpiece. After I wrote it, and it was received fairly well, I suddenly felt any sequel would have to live up to its success. So really I suppose it was fear that was blocking me, something which I already knew can stifle creativity and should be dealt with, but there is a difference between knowing and doing. Nonetheless, I did manage to complete it, and I think it lives up to the prequel.
In keeping with my first story, I decided to use song names as chapter titles. While I'm happy with the result, I admit I first started doing it out of laziness as much as anything else. I always worry about titles; it's nice if a title can be somewhat descriptive, but that's hard to do without coming across as gimmicky. I thought that song titles worked nicely, because they can set the mood without having to actually be about the story specifically. They really weren't supposed to be necessary to the story, anyone should be able to enjoy it without having listen to, or even recognize a single song. I often listen to music when I read, so I thought it might be a nice little Easter Egg for anyone who does the same. It may be interesting to note how the music differs between the two stories. In The Lucky One there is a sort of country/folk rock sort of theme, with the main artist being The Felice Brothers. This was because I wanted to capture that rural sort of feeling of Sweet Apple Acres. In Mistaken for Strangers, although it kept to an extent the country theme, the focus was much more purely on Big Mac and Rarity's relationship, and the music reflected that with a more alt rock theme, as exemplified by The National.
Anyway despite all my complaining, I really did genuinely enjoy writing Mistaken for Strangers, and I hope everyone enjoyed reading it. I'm incredibly grateful for all the positive feedback I received (I'm also grateful for people pointing out the flaws. It was only after someone mentioned it that I realized none of the italics had copied over when I uploaded the story). When you're so personally involved in something it becomes very difficult to judge how anyone else will view it. It's very gratifying to see people enjoying it.
Some people have asked if I plan on writing another installment. Frankly, I haven't decided. I may have an idea for a sequel. Who knows? Not I. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.
Just a heads up; for my next update I'll post the last 2 chapters together (in order to preserve the pacing), so be sure not to skip the penultimate chapter.
See what word I used there?
That made me feel fancy.
While expecting her first foal, Rarity finds her relationship with Big Mac tested.
Sequel to "The Lucky One," but can be read on its own.
I begrudgingly acknowledge the quality of that cliffhanger.
This still doesn't appear underneath your story tab.
I dunno why but I've always liked this pairing. Nice story. I thought your first one was cute but you definitely have a nice setup for later chapters. I cannot wait to see more.
okay I'll bite. since this is supposed to be a continuation, the characters feel a little different, but its another story. so lets see where this goes
Welp, I'm glad The Lucky One got a sequel. Can't wait to see where you take this.
Yay! Sequel! This is interesting... Carry on.
Oh Big Mac, she's suddenly seeing a new side to you, an angry side. It's scaring her and you're not doing anything to alleviate that.
Rarity's sudden revelation of what Big Mac is capable of is coloring the way she see's any and all of Mac actions, likely thinking back over their whole relationship.
Well, If I was as big as Mac here I would have done the same thing. I live by the 'old code' where a lady is treated like a lady.
My I inquire as to when we might get to read the next chapter... For you see I have been hooked.
*Retrieves Cleaver* Shunk here have a thumb. you've got me hooked ah can't wait to see where this goes.
A stallion of Macs size with anger issues, that'd be scary.
>>713541713541 Soon, very soon.
>>713581713581 Do you uh, maybe have a plastic bag I can put it in? It's kind of leaking.
"...but can be read on it's own."
You obviously understand nothing about OCD.
The stallion that under the influence of a love poison, dragged a two story house WITH ponies inside, broke a rope moments afterward just from how much strain was put on it and you gave him powerful anger issues.
Yeah, lucky to be all that happened in that section.
So, just got caught up with the story (Soulsilver's comment stands, you know nothing about OCD readers )
Considering the kinds of strength we've seen out of Big Mac, I'm honestly surprised that Blueblood even survived the experience. We've seen him love-tap a tree to the same effect as a full-on applebuck from AJ (at least, I think we have, sometimes get fannon confused with cannon) and as stated above he's dragged a house off of its foundation and launched ponies over the horizon. To quote another fanfic, Blueblood should have gotten his flank kicked so hard he'd need a telescope to see his own Cutie Mark.
He'd have been lucky to wake up if that was my wife. Just sayin'.
I understand both sides here perfectly. My wife was a little skittish of me because I had major rage issues when we were first dating, but she got to learn that it was to protect her. Unfortunately for Big Mac (but fortunately for the narrative!), communication is NOT his strong suit.
So far, Mac's only anger issues--that we've seen--have involved his reactions to the abuse of women.
Aww. Why'd you have to go and do that? My kind is now racing at the possibility of what might happen next. Good read so far, keep it up!
>>714944714944 i would but grabbing things has become difficult and as to the reason. i just can't put my finger on it.
Ahhhh just too short. But was a good read none the less keep e'm coming.
I absolutely have to say that you are doing a phenomenal job with this story. You are always leaving me with the feeling of wanting more. Keep it up!
A little short, but very good.
I'm loving this story but i can't express how much i hate cliffhangers right now!! ugh i guess i have to wait and see what happened. hopefully it will be soon.
Ooh suspense
Kinda makes me wish this chapter was longer
I am so confused! I don't remember them ever getting married in the first one, regardless, this is a well written fiction and I look forward to more.
They got married between when the first one ends and this one begins.
I am going to read this, but before I do I have one question:
Do you get mistaken for strangers by your own friends when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery city bank lights?
A song by The National for the title and a song by Blitzen Trapper for one of the next chapters?
You're not just my hero, you're my super hero.
...if that happens to you, I feel really bad for you, man
EDIT: Or girl. Take your pick.
Another great chapter! Keep up the good work, and I have to say, I'm really excited to see how Big Mac changed his mindset
I'm liking the story, but I feel the titles are a bit contrived.
I mean, what does "Nasty Letter" have to do with Big Mac kicking a wall, and Ace having his Face rearranged?
Otherwise, good.
Maybe the song titles would make more sense if you wrote out the part of the lyrics that pertained to it, because I don't know any of these songs. I did that with a story, once.
Anywho, I guess it's a good sign that I get so frustrated at the end of each chapter. Somehow 2200 words just goes quicker when you're enjoying the narrative, it seems
i think you two above ^ are a little too focused on the titles and not the story....
anyway, rarity is being rather round about in doing things, I was surprised with how raidly this is being updated
The plot thickens... I'm really enjoying your set up with this.
>>730722730722 You have no idea how happy this comment makes me. You're the first person to mention my song references.
Lyrically, you're right, there's not really any direct relation to the story. I picked the songs based on the kind of mood they set. I actually started doing because I felt any titles I came up with were too contrived.
>>730985730985 I actually had the story mostly finished the story before I started updating it. I'm just putting the finishing touches on each chapter before putting them up. If I put up each chapter right after writing it then it would be waaaaay to long between updates. Plus, doing it this way allows me to edit it more.
I like the titles. They're all unique and give me a little insight on what kind of music Evan here likes.
I like knowing more about people.
a side of big mac more imaginable after season 2. everyone has a breaking point
Wow. I actually haven't any sympathy for Rarity in this fic. All she has to do is talk to Mac, and this could get resolved.
Trust me, I'm married, and (unfortunately) I've been in circumstances that are sorta similar. It just don't work that way.
I wish it did, but it doesn't, and emotional stuff is hard for both, just in different ways.
That and some people don't want to talk about unpleasant things from the past.
Why do you do these things to me? Now I have to wait for another update. You don't have to leqve me hanging all the time I promise I'll come back.
Ok wonderful story but the song name titles to me are starting to get out of synch with what is happening in the story itself
Oh my.
Too bad...
>>736960736960 Don't feel any pressure to listen to the music if you don't want to. They're more supposed to little... bonuses, as it were, than actually part of the story itself. If you like it, great, but if not, then feel free to ignore it.
Wow, I can hear Rarity's VA breaking down and it's breaking my
On another note, I read the wikipedia article on preeclampsia all the way down. Oh my...
Wow! I shouldn't have started reading this one before it was finished!
Little details like Big Mac looking up, hoping it was Rarity, and being disappointed when it wasn't are so true to life. I need more of this story!
Also... from what ponygrad and KitsuneNoYomeiri said, I'm scared to read that article now. Even though I can't figure out exactly what you're trying to express with those emoticons.
.... this is why I shouldn't read incomplete stories....
But after previously reading "The Lucky One"... I must, I Must, I MUST!!!
So now I wait... checking my email everytime I get an alert hoping it is an update to this story.
Oh please don't tell me that after all that Big Mac and Rarity have been through that they're going to lose the baby, I know I'll just have to wait to find out but if she does it'll be heartbreaking
MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pls update soon

Gabriel Aubry isn't satisfied with just one beautiful baby.

Would he gorgeous girlfriend have any objection to getting knocked up again?

Groton Wind sound tests pass muster for committee
"They say the sound isn't a problem, but we have what sounds like the sound of a jet going over — that doesn't stop — at our home every night," said Phoebe Sanborn of North Groton Road, whose home is within a few hundred feet of five of the plant's 24 turbine towers.
The testing was conducted using two sound level measurements, in the summer of 2013 and in the winter of this year. In the summer of 2013 sound levels were measured at seven locations in the towns of Groton, Rumney and Plymouth, and during the winter of 2014 sound levels were measured at six of the same locations.

Cookware – Is It Time to Move Up?
Cookware – Is It Time to Move Up?
By Sam Zien
Can you cook on anything? Yes. Fried eggs on the sidewalk…piece of fish on your car's engine – anything is possible. Can you sear scallops on the pans you got when you first moved out? Sure. Will moving up to a more professional level of cookware make a difference? Absolutely – and a big difference at that. Maybe today's not the day, but at some point when you decide to make a change, having more knowledge on the subject will be a good thing. And to help you, here's part one on the subject.

It's the fifth of November, and this week I have found a reason to use that middle screen on the main header. As a huge fan of shmups I've been playing the Gundmonium Collection of games on Steam, and this week I start Jet Grind Radio for the third round of the Replay Challenge.
Real Life
It happened. It was going to happen sooner or later.
It snowed.
You're probably laughing about me making a big deal about it since I live in Alaska. I do like winter, but only if I can just look at it through a window and not go outside. Snow always looks good until people and cars start coming through and the dirt and mud underneath gets mixed in. Oh well, such is life up here.
Anyway, with so much money that I got on my birthday, I've decided that I'm gonna send my Wii in to Nintendo to get it repaired. I was thinking about fixing it myself because I didn't want to pay a lot of money for it, but at this point, I might as well pay them. I won't run the risk of breaking something, and there aren't any other games I'm looking to buy until the Steam Christmas Sale. I already pre-purchased Skyrim and that's going to last me for a long time. Also, I have Skyward Sword preordered from Amazon and I really want to play it. I don't think I could wait a year just to play it on the Wii U.
I am a big fan of shmups. You should probably know that by now if you've been following this blog for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see three bullet hell shmups available on Steam as a 10 dollar pack, called the Gundemonium Collection. These three games include Gundemonium Recollection, the first game, GundeadliGne, the second game, and Hitogata Happa, the third game. Like with a lot of bullet hell games, I don't often reach the end, but just the time that I spend playing one of these games is satisfactory enough.
Gundemonium Recollection is the first in this trio of games, and it is a horizontally scrolling shmup. There's a story of some sort that is told in intermissions between levels, but that's not really important. Who cares about story when you have a bunch of bunny girls riding on cannons and giant guns shooting at you? The design and look is steampunk, mixed with a lot of things like the bunny girls that I mentioned that will make you know that this game is from Japan. Actually, you probably needed to see just the title screen in order to know that this is a Japanese game.
In bullet hell games, you expect there to be a lot of bullets and projectiles, and there are. Most of their patterns are designed so that you maneuver them like a maze, but they don't get very large and complex because your character sprite is so large, and the game's resolution is only 640 by 480, so not very big. And even with a big character sprite, the hit box is incredibly small, and that's crucial for these kinds of games. Recollection is a pretty solid and fun game, although I am not as fond of horizontally scrolling shmups as I am of the vertical scrolling ones.
GundeadliGne is the second game in this collection, and it is the only title among the other two that I have no real idea how to pronounce. Also, why is the second "g" capitalized? Oh well, doesn't matter, as the game is Gundemonium Recollection part 2. Only in this game, you can change the direction your character shoots.
If you've played games like Deathsmiles, this is like that. It's a horizontally scrolling shmup like Recollection, but you can shoot at enemies from behind. When you switch to the opposite side, the game goes into a temporary bullet time mode, and you can go in and out of it by switching positions. However, when the bullet time on the reverse side is done, switching to the forward direction activates the bullet time, and the process repeats itself. I don't really have much else to say. Recollection and GundeadliGne are pretty much the same game. I believe both share the same universe and characters. Wait, what am I doing bringing up story in these games? That's not the point!
Last game in the collection is my personal favorite of the three, Hitogata Happa. Best part about the game? I have a reason to rotate my monitor 90 degrees and play the game like old arcade vertical shmups. Mores games of this type need this amazing feature!
Okay, maybe that's not the defining feature of Hitogata Happa, but the game itself is a lot of fun. For one, the game is vertically scrolling, which is already good in my book. Also, game is really hard, even on the easiest difficulty. That was something I was not expecting, and I kinda questioned it a little. In other games of this type you expect there to be a few seconds of invincibility frames after dying and losing a life. Maybe there are invincibility frames but the time window is super short, but it felt like there weren't any.
Anyway, the neat concept behind the game is the concept of different dolls that you control. There are eight dolls with their own abilities, and you buy multiple dolls that you are allowed and those are your multiple lives. You can switch between the order of the dolls that you will spawn as if you die, but even better your doll will eventually be able to suicide bomb into enemies. The tricky part though is navigating the many bullets and projectiles, because if those hit you then you won't take anyone down with you. Either way you still lose a doll so there's some risk.
All three games have similarities options wise. You can choose the game to be fullscreen or windowed (but still no resolution options of any kind), lock the game at 60 or 30 FPS, and switch between either original or arranged soundtracks for the games. I just stuck with the arranged soundtracks since that is what the games default to, and they're pretty good already.
Ten dollars well spent.
Replay Challenge: Round 3
Day 1: Starting the GGs
Figured I'd go through the tutorial level since loading my last save would make me miss out on the opening cutscenes. Oddly enough I screwed up on the Tab's last challenge before he joins your gang. That should not have happened. Whatever, time to start painting the streets. JET SET RADIOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Day 2: Shibuya GG
Okay, so my original plan was to load up my last completed save and go through the rest of the game with all characters and graffiti unlocked. Turns out my last save was left off at the second chapter. So because the game only saves one file to the VMU at a time, I'm gonna go through this game on a clean save. Anyway, started the first mission of chapter 1, and finished it with the second highest rating. Would have gotten the highest if I went through the mission as Gum instead of Beat, but I'm not necessarily going for the highest scores on this run.
Day 3: Love Trap
Man, I just love how this game looks. A lot of games on the Dreamcast I like the graphics for the same reason, but this one in particular. It's just so bright and saturated. There's not a cloud in Shibuya-cho's sky as I go around knocking over Captain Onishima and spray painting his back. That's always fun to do. Also, it's pretty ridiculous that the police would have to call in a SWAT team and deploy tear gas in order to catch a single vandal, but I guess that the game would be less interesting without something dumb as that.
Day 4: The Monster of Kogane
Now we are heading to the city of the city of the sunset, Kogane-Cho, and this time playing as Gum. Even at dusk, the colors are still bright and vibrant. Also, police dogs are perfectly reasonable means for going after a vandal, but a helicopter is overkill. Seeing it reminded me of the broad idea I had of making tribute to helicopters as enemies in games, spawning from Ryan's hatred of helicopters. I may or may not act on that idea, who knows?
Day 5: No. 540
Garam has joined the GGs, and then I use him in the second Kogane mission at a huge junkyard. And guess what? The helicopter returns, this time with two others. However, I take them out by spraying graffiti on the windshield and let them crash. I assume that no one died in all three of those crashes. Man, the police are really pragmatic about going after a bunch of vandals.
In Conclusion
I'm running out of things to say for this as well as the intro. Gotta fix that or something.
Anyway, thanks for reading. I'm contemplating whether the next entry should be posted on Saturday as usual or a day earlier. I'm all set to play Skyrim the whole weekend and don't want to stop for anything else on Saturday. Next week's games are gonna be Uncharted 3 (so far it's fantastic) and Four Swords Anniversary Edition (which I had no idea was already out on the eShop/DSiWare and free).
See you next week.

I've been working really hard lately. Not here on Vinography, but at the day job that pays the bills. So I can understand the desire to get off work, grab a bottle of wine, and relax a little.
Apparently though, that's not so easy if you're any sort of uniformed service officer in the UK. There, they've got laws that say, if you're wearing your uniform, you don't get to buy alcohol.
Presumably, this law exists because there either was a problem at one time with uniformed public servants drunk on the job, or simply because politicians and the public are paranoid about that happening.
Unfortunately, what might be a well meaning (if a bit patronizing) law, creates situations like this one, for a poor (if a bit addled) paramedic in Surrey, England.
The guy wanted to buy a bottle of wine, but the clerk wouldn't sell it to him because he had his paramedic's uniform on. So he went outside and took off the uniform, returning to the store in just a thong and some socks.
Apparently the store also had a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy, so the guy never did get his bottle of wine. Instead, he got questioned by the police. Must have been an especially hard week for him.
Dear Wine-Lovers,
I could start a rant here about draconian liquor laws but will simply say, "Don't make a bad situation worse", just to prove a point. The rule that prohibits uniformed members from purchasing alcohol seems to say, respect the uniform, not the man( or woman).
Lots of companies here in the States have similar rules. Basically if you're wearing the uniform, you're still an "agent" of the company and serving as the public face of that company. If, say, a UPS driver stops at a bar for a beer on the way home, to other customers it appears as though the company condones drunk driving.
I usually recommended employees simply put on a sweater or jacket that would cover up any identifying portions of the uniform.
There is no prohibition about selling to a UPS driver. I can understand the public relations concern for those drinking in public. Picking up a botlle of wine in a package store should not be a problem. It could have been for a dinner or a gift.
Seems to me like this problem could be easily solved - many companies don't allow you to wear your uniform if you're not working. And then just don't allow cops on the job to buy alcohol.
Problem solved.
I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both educative
and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something which not enough people
are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this in my
search for something concerning this.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
that would rake up favors Jordan!
The only thing that can be called a closely legitimate kill steal is the effect of Hades Lance and Cerberus fire, imo (I kill opponents by Hades lance while they are in brutal kill animation often). They deal continuous damage that LEGITIMATELY, put victim in red halo first. Sure other weapons have some lasting effects but these 2 are the greatest.
you will have to excuse those who jump in at low HP opponents and get them in red halo. it's part of the game! and it's rightly so!
actually, in that situation u should really be glad about it 'cause they will be really angry when they get up, activate item or magic and u are toasted. If u miss 2 seconds, it's good that u have a friend nearly to prevent a disgraced death!
I dont care if I get my kill stolen, well if I cared for my stats I might have. I could have had a way more higher k/d ratio cuz I always get my kills stolen. Well, anyways as I said I dont care if my kills get stolen, the problem for me is that I dont get an assist, this usually happens when someone brutal kills the guy that I stunned.

This was my first project using Victory Patterns and I'm very happy with the experience! I'm so stoked that I'm able to support a small Canadian company.
This pattern came together wonderfully. I used a white viscose (that wrinkles crazily, as you can see!) that has a really nice drape. This was made to be a wearable muslin, but I think this will actually become a new favourite garment. The style is quite the departure from my usual clothes, but I really love it! I fully intended to dye this, but I still found the all-white 'toga' stage to be rather amusing. For the ombre, I used Intense Violet from Dylon.
I would highly recommend this pattern for beginners. It's easy to put together with looking it.
