My brother Terry Stevens has been called to be the next pastor of the Vine Church in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Along with his wife Leslie and two children Kaylee and Zane, the family plans to make the expensive move from Kentucky in late December or early January 2015. They appreciate your prayers and any monetary consideration that you may give. Below is the information from his funding website and a link to help fund this family.
Hello, my name is Terry D Stevens. I have recently been called to be the next pastor of the Vine Church in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. As you probably realize moving to another country can be quite expensive. We (my family and I) are currently raising funds for our moving expenses and a few items we will need when we get to Canada. I simply ask that you pray for us and that you pray about helping in our fundraising endeavor. If you decide to help we would be most grateful. If you decide to simply pray for us we would still be extremely grateful. May God bless each and everyone of you as you serve Him.

Ive got an issue where when i connect my external hard drive, it does not show in my computer. It is showing in Disk Management as Unallocated, but if the device is connected when i turn my laptop on, then it will show in my computer.
When i am connecting a memory stick, I get a message saying do you want to format the drive.
I have uninstalled all USB Hosts/Hubs in Device Manager but the issue remains.
If i connect both devices to a different machine, they work straight away so the issue must be with my laptop. Ive checked my laptop for Viruses and it is clean.

The Road to A3C: Jon Hope
DJBooth is proud to announce that the Jon Hope will be rocking on our stage for this year's A3C Festival in Atlanta. Hope says "I use my life as the foundation of my music. That alone allows me to be original because no one else can speak from my perspective." Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, as young boy, Hope endured the hardships of foster care, his father's absence, and all that growing up in the inner city entails. Hope embraced these challenges and experiences, using them as motivation for success, channeling his thoughts and ideas through a pen and a pad.
Hope released his debut album, Somekind of Wonderful, instantly gratifying hip hop purists. The record put Hope on the national radar, with a feature in XXL Magazine's coveted Show and Prove section and rotation on MTVu for his video, Breathin.
Jon Hope remains optimistic about the future of his music career. He reflects, "as long as I stick to the notion that this is a labor of love, I'll never be unemployed!"
DJBooth Hosted Projects: WaterFire: Collection of Emotions.
What Are You Most Excited About for A3C?
"I'm most excited about seeing all the people. With the internet age I've found that we now develop working relationships with people we've never met or only met on occasion. So its nice to get to see the folks I've been grinding with in that type of open musical environment."
If you'll be in the Altanta area on Friday, October 7, you'll want to check out DJBooth's A3C stage, featuring Big K.R.I.T., Pill, Jean Grae, Saigon and many more. For all things A3C, including information on purchasing passes, check out A3CFestival.com.

Mascara Review: L'Oreal Double Extend Lash Extension
Doing Drugstore: L'Oréal Double Extend Lash Extension Effect Mascara
If you haven't tried tube mascaras yet, you'll be glad to know that drugstore versions are rolling out. One of the first is L'Oréal Double Extend Lash Extension Effect Mascara ($9.79), a two-step mascara with "beauty tube technology."
Tube mascaras are great for making lashes look longer, and because the formulas come off with warm water, they're much easier to remove. I'm a fan of Mirenesse Secret Weapon, but will L'Oréal's version perform as well? For the verdict (with pictures), read more.
Voila, my naked peeper.
The first step is to apply a "nourishing base coat." It went on with a few clumps and looked like lash lice. Fortunately, it's just a temporary look. Moving on...
The second step involves the "ultra-lengthening tube top coat," which adds length and color. Don't know if I'd say it's "ultra-lengthening," but it's not bad. However, it's not as good as Lash Blast from Cover Girl, which lengthens and volumizes for less money and one fewer step.
Overall, this isn't a bad mascara — but it's not a great one, either. Pick it up if there's a two-for-one deal, but otherwise, don't make a special trip.

Peter Jackson Responds to Negative "The Hobbit" Criticism
Posted: April 28th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
During CinemaCon, Peter Jackson screened ten minutes from "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," which was shot and projected at 48 frames per second, rather that the industry standard speed of 24fps. The goal was to offer a clearer image and 3D experience.
But the plan backfired. Critics called the footage "strange" and "jarring," and some even compared it to a 70s soap opera. "
It was too accurate - too clear. Higher frame rates are used for things like home video, soap operas, and reality TV,
" said Gizmodo.
Jackson has now responded to the criticism, stating: "
Nobody is going to stop. This technology is going to keep evolving. At first it's unusual because you've never seen a movie like this before. It's literally a new experience, but that doesn't last the entire experience of the film. There can only ever be a real reaction, a truthful reaction when people actually have a chance to see a complete narrative on a particular film.
Meanwhile, James Cameron is planning to shoot "Avatar 2" using 60fps.

70's soap operas were bad?? Says who?? lol
on April 28th, 2012 at 5:18:18 AM
I agree with him. Reserve criticism until you have seen it for yourself and have seen it in its entirety.
Also, keep in mind that the technology is always changing and that there will be many new experiences such as this to come.
on April 28th, 2012 at 5:38:00 AM
Mmm, this doesn't sounds good!!!!! I hope it doesn't look like a Dark Shadows or even that show that was about Fairy Tales, which looks terrible and cheap fantasy show!!!!! For god sake I hope I'm wrong!!!!!!
on April 28th, 2012 at 6:24:31 AM
If it was unbelievably amazing,the difference between black n white and colour it would have been praised from the off not met with reservation.
He has just said they don't know what they are talking about and to dismiss their criticism like that stinks of denial at best hubris at worst.
It will still be available in 24f's anyway so it's not that much of an issue.
2D forever.
on April 28th, 2012 at 6:25:36 AM
so where can we see those 10 min?

I like how Jacson gets a free pass but Cameron gets sh*tted on.
on April 28th, 2012 at 7:09:20 AM
I've never seen 48fps used in a fantasy film with a multi-million dollar budget. And I doubt anyone else has either.
The difference between those 70's soap operas and this, just look at the above.
All this world-building (sets, cgi, etc.) is designed to develop the authenticity of the reality (in this case of Middle-Earth). Jackson is using 48fps to further build on this authenticity.
People complaining that it "looks too real" are just confirming that Jackson has succeeded in regards to his intention.
on April 28th, 2012 at 7:37:48 AM
I think they mean by too real is that you can tell far too easily that's its a set or hes wearing a wig.I've also read that the CGI looks better?
Its a suck it a see methinks.
on April 28th, 2012 at 8:49:15 AM
oh great....he ruined it..
on April 28th, 2012 at 9:14:01 AM
I'd worry less about the frame speed and more about the fact that NOBODY wants to see this film.
on April 28th, 2012 at 9:43:59 AM
it'll turn out great when we see it.
on April 28th, 2012 at 10:44:52 AM
I think they need a variable frame rate. Dialog and scenes that involve a traditional film approach should stay at 24fps but action and anything with cgi and panning the camera could be greatly improved at 60fps or even 48fps.
I think what they will end up doing is cut the extra frame out of scenes I just mentioned in post production. There's no need for high frame rate for character mouths moving. Doesn't feel like a traditional movie like critics have been saying.
Variable frame rate is definitely the way to go. Computers make it beyond easy to adjust on the fly too.
on April 28th, 2012 at 11:09:03 AM
I agree with Damon.
People usually discard or critisize of what out of their cookie-cutter brains of what movies are about.
I wasn't totally sold on the 3D, but knew it was a (re)start to a new direction in moviemaking. This is similar, going in another direction, but ultimately is changing how the audience will experience the story.
If I like it or not, I'll still be for it. Apart from SFX, story & movie making should also be evolving and experimenting & for that, it will always be a win in my book.
Plus, can you imagine? It'll be like a doc*mentary being filmed in middle earth! Like you're right there with the characters...how f*cking cool is that?!
Can't wait for the trailer...
on April 28th, 2012 at 11:12:22 AM
In other words..YOU TELL'EM JACKSON!!
f*ck THE CHUCK!! (in this case, whoever is afraid of evolution of storytelling & movie experiences)
on April 28th, 2012 at 11:52:26 AM
Mmmm I've shot 24 and 50 a lot, but 50 never looks right, only really good for smooth slow motion....will wait and see, sure he has a reason
on April 28th, 2012 at 12:17:26 PM
"so where can we see those 10 min?"
I wouldn't matter. Any compression scheme, like h.264, used to stream across the internet probably wouldn't retain the film's controversial quality/nature.
"Intersted in BANDO/MINKS opinion on this"
Why? Because we're negative? Please. I just spent all day singing high praise for Avengers, and I love neither Marvel nor comic books in general.
And I like Hobbit/LOTRs even less, but I don't see the issue. People have to get used to things. The first time you see 3D, the experience might be a bit jarring. The first time you play a video game, you might not get the whole control-to-action disconnect that requires the development of hand-eye co-ordination. The same goes for other 'unnatural' activities like riding a bike. Seems weird, even impossible at first, but then you can't even imagine NOT riding one.
People bitch before they even give adaptation time to do it's thing.
And the guy who opined that variable frame rate would be a good option for specific films, yeah, that's an old idea, but a good one, sadly I think it takes more work than it's worth.
"I think they mean by too real is that you can tell far too easily that's its a set or hes wearing a wig"
Pffft. And CDs used to come with a warning plainly stating that the quality of the disc audio may reveal defects within the original recording.
It's called CLARITY. Fidelity. Whatever you want to f*cking call it.
I swear, people would bitch if they were blind but now they can see. "The f*cking sun, it's too bright, and that sky, it's too blue! Waaaaaaah!"
(not addressing you specifically Rocketman)
on April 28th, 2012 at 12:18:00 PM
"Mmmm I've shot 24 and 50 a lot"
I shoot 2 or 3 a day.
Oh, you mean footage. Never mind.....
on April 28th, 2012 at 12:19:24 PM
Oh, and you know what makes people OLD? Not age, not even looking old, the but the mental inability to adapt. I bet the people that saw the Hobbit footage are already 'set in their ways'.
on April 28th, 2012 at 12:33:51 PM
I totally agree with Mink on this subject. When I bought my Samsung TV which is what they call 960 CMR (clear motion rate) it seemed very weird as the Technology in the TV guesses what the next pixel will be and fills it in; sort of increasing the frame rate. I didn't like it at first and almost took the tv back. Now, after giving it some time, I love it and the picture(particularly action sequences) are crystal clear.
on April 28th, 2012 at 12:35:12 PM
I'll wait to judge till I see the movie. Technology does have to advance at some time.
on April 28th, 2012 at 1:03:32 PM
"which is what they call 960 CMR (clear motion rate) it seemed very weird as the Technology in the TV guesses what the next pixel will be and fills it in"
Yep, motion pixel interpolation is what its called, I think, but that has to do with the limitation of the television's (in)ability to handle HD bit streams, which is related to, but different from, what Jackson is doing.
on April 28th, 2012 at 1:27:52 PM
@ mink - lol!
on April 28th, 2012 at 1:33:49 PM
No worries Mink,I read all this about set/hair etc on AICN,just parroting some of the reviewers statements.

Anyway, just dropped in to drop this: Mel has a bit if a temper he says. lol! Ya think?
Video included.
on April 28th, 2012 at 3:41:26 PM
I hate to say that Peter Jackson seems wrong, but he seems wrong on this one.
Shooting at 48fps is NOT an innovation. No, I haven't seen the footage, but guess what, the option to shoot at 48fps has been around since people DECIDED to shoot at 24fps. To quote one of my friends, "People don't shoot at 24 because they like the number". Every person since the 1920s has used 24 for a reason, because it is more cinematic. Yes, 48fps might make everything sharper, but when you show it on an HD projector at a movie theater with a top of the line screen, it's too sharp and everything looks as fake as it actually is.
That's why old Westerns and stuff suck to watch on Blu-Ray. The clarity ruins the illusion of the movie (and they obviously weren't shooting for HD back then).
Mostly, I don't like Jackson (or Cameron) trying to pass this off as an innovation. There is a setting on every camera now to increase the frame rate, they are simply choosing to increase it. This is not innovation, it's a choice that's been present almost as long as film has.
I'm not saying 48fps won't work, I'm just saying I am very, very skeptical and definitely upset that it's trying to be passed off as an innovation. But I'd rather know that I'm going to see a technically smooth version of a movie I was very excited about, rather than a potential two and a half hour mess caused by the director's own ego.

The only reason I've seen anyone shoot above 24 is precisely for slow motion. All slo-mo "Hobbit" anyone?

"That's why old Westerns and stuff suck to watch on Blu-Ray. The clarity ruins the illusion of the movie (and they obviously weren't shooting for HD back then)."
That doesn't make ANY sense at all. BluRay is lower resolution than the original film. So if it's fine on the original film, why does HD ruin the illusion as you said? You can't go higher in resolution than the original film. Sorry, but that's just unavoidable.
on April 28th, 2012 at 3:48:01 PM
And yeah, an old western may look like sh*t on a film screen, and it may look like sh*t on DVD, and on the broadcast television resolution, but that's what you're used to seeing.
It's really all in your head.

Also, I doubt we've seen a combination of cutting edge CGI and 48FPS, either, and I applaud Jackson for trying new paths and techniques to try to bring us something a bit off the beaten path.

your negativity is always appreciated but i was interested in what you and BANDO thought since hes says hes a practicing film maker and youre a professional knowitall.
Saw a video where the cameras frame rate matched the mhz of a woofer so that falling water seemed to freeze in mid air,then as you adjusted the mhz the water seemed to go back into the spigget
That was awsome Mr.Wizard!

I may as well add to The WP Avengers love in, Just got back really enjoyed it, Just what going to the flicks is all about being right royally entertained.
Didn't bother with the 3D ....
No spoilers but i thought Josh handled the multiple super hero characters on screen really well and everyone had their part to play.
Great start to the summer movie season 8.5/10

"Peter Jackson Responds to Negative "The Hobbit" Criticism"
Negative Criticism = Compliments?
on April 29th, 2012 at 12:26:57 AM
personally i think the 3d in avatar was jarring and obnoxious. Not into 3d. Although i will say the 3D trailer for the hobbit was the best 3D i have yet seen, and even then, meh.

@Mink & Velocity:
In 1990, I had the incredible chance to watch a 5 min high speed scenes using the technology from Douglas Trumbull: Showscan @ 60 FPS!!
I remember the scene on the rollercoaster was very, very vivid and incredibly real so that the entire audience in the theater screamed their heads off.
I later read that it won't be used because it was too expensive to make it as a new standard. What a bloody shame!

@Bullit: very interesting story. Good to hear some commentary that is not only based on personal experience, but isn't knee jerk negative. Thank you.

Must have, I actually bought these for myself but would be great for gifts! I use these for my face and body, especially for sunburns! I'm very pale and burn easily plus I peel but these are great for keeping my skin hydrated so it could heel. Also I'm allergic to Argan oil, something about the way the process it to get pure form, but not the mascara oil. I have extreme allergies to shampoos, lotions, soaps, and makeup product but tarte is one of my favorite brands! Everything I've tried works great and it's because of the maracuja oil and amazon clay. Great ingredients makes great products.
This set is a great value. The rollerballs are convenient, the packaging is cute and protects from breakage. The oil is wonderful and absorbs quickly into skin.
After years of indoor tanning my skin finally had enough. At 28 my skin started showing wrinkles and dullness. After comparing multiple types of oils I gave maracuja a try and I couldn't be happier! Within a week I noticed improved hydration, clarity, texture, and luminosity to my skin. After a month I noticed my pores getting smaller. I love this oil! Highly recommend giving it a shot even if you have oily skin like I do. The roller ball didn't work well for me but I pulled the ball out and apply with my fingertips. I bought these for Christmas gifts so I can share my oil love with loved ones! I got myself a set because I know I'll need more and it's a great value set.
Best product I bought it for me and my family and everyone loves it.
THIS ROLLERBALL IS GENIUS!!!! I KEEP THEM STASHED IN HANDY PLACES & AM ADDICTED!!!! I love that I can roll the product on, so none is wasted!!! It's also super convenient.
Why I love the Maracuja Oil in it....
I have seasonally combination skin. I tend to be more oily in the summer and DRY in the winter. I have NEVER found a moisturizer that works for me...
THEN MY 30's hit....
I clearly needed moisturizer but started breaking out like a teenager - well worse than when I was a teenager, and was combination skin all the time. Some areas were uber oily, others dry and flaky on the same face the same time... A friend recommended I try this oil...
I was SKEPTICAL... Adding oil on my face, especially my breakouts seemed counter productive. BOY WAS I WRONG.
I stopped using my acne washes & products. I went back to a simple sensitive skin soap, and just used this oil twice a day. Within 3 days I noticed a HUGE difference. Within a week my skin was NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENT. My skin was more even, less red in some areas, no overproduction of oil, no dry spots, my acne was basically gone, and old darker spots were lighter. I WAS SOOOOOOLD!!!!
I use a simple face wash to remove my makeup with my clarisonic brush and my maracuja oil and my skin looks better than it ever has before!!! I haven't even been breaking out during my monthly cycle.... (I have been using this for about 9 months)
These do a nice job moisturizing. I use mine at night before bed. My complaint about these rollerballs is that the oil doesn't always flow out well. I will need to stop and get the oil flowing again by rubbing the ball on my hand several times.
i am in love with this product. i have very sensitive and dry skin. works wonders
I tried a sample of this oil from Sephora and absolutely loved it, so I had to order the full size from Tarte! Let me just give a little background- I have very sensitive skin that reacts dramatically to anything highly processed/chemically enhanced and some natural ingredients such as wheat, barley, or rye extract will destroy my skin. After being "glutened" from a Smashbox product and having on of the worst hive reactions on my face I've ever experienced, I used the Maracuja oil and it healed my skin within 24 hours. Not only was this a miracle treatment for me, but ever since my skin has been glowing, moisturized, and so soft. I think this product has also helped with a decrease in pore size as well. This is a must have.
This oil makes skin so smooth, great value for 3 rollerballs.
Great for travel / work / on the go !
Absolute must !
I have tried everything, I don't usually buy things twice let alone 3 times I became addicted! I find for dry skin with a few problems of breakouts this oil is amazing! I ordered the roller ball type this time as I find the pumps on the bottles to jam up(only issue with the oil)So I hope the roller ball will be better.
This product smells like a genuine oil, no smell added which i like! not sticky or greasy, roller ball doesn't waste oil at all.
I am in love with this product! I feel like it gives me a nice glowing look when I wake up each morning and my face doesn't feel oily at all. I use it every night before I go to bed and it is amazing how far this product will go in such a small bottle!
I am a huge fan of the maracuja oil, and this gift set was packaged beautifully. I am going to keep one for myself, and give one each to my mom and my best friend. Hopefully they will love it as much as I do!
This is such a great set for such a great price! The packaging is super cute and the rollerball is really good for applying to more or less to specific areas.

O'Neal McKnight - Check Your Coat (Mick Boogie Rmx) ft. Greg Nice & Nas
Artist: O'Neal McKnight
Featuring: Nas, Mick Boogie
Album: Prom 2088
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 23 votes )
When O'Neal McKnight's Check Your Coat first hit the DJBooth this past September, it wasn't one of the better-reviewed tracks on the site. So what's different this time around? Cleveland DJ Mick Boogie has remixed the original remix (with Greg Nice as the hype man), but, with a new verse thrown in. Fitting perfectly over the third verse of the song are 16 bars from Nas' Purple (off The Lost Tapes). This is the second remix to be featured on DJBooth courtesy of Mick Boogie, the other of course is Rick Ross' The Boss remix which MB assisted with an older verse from Weezy F. Baby.

Attention all light workers, Spirit is asking us to wake up in a BIG way!!
The world has entered a new age. The age of peace and truth. The old patterns of ego, suppression and power will no longer exist in the future. People cannot hold back anymore. They physically cannot continue on their current path. In many cases, life circumstances have brought them to a crossroads, they either stay trapped and suffer or they free themselves.
HELLO! Miss you all, this is the first time in 2 months I've been able to really sit down and write something.
I'm just about coming back to reality after experiencing one of the most beautiful insane magical transformative roller coaster awakening journeys with my two best buddies Aang and Lidija. They both trailblazed off to opposite ends of the US over the past few days, I took Aang to Santa Barbara Amtrak station where he headed over on a 55 hour journey to Dearbon in Michigan! And drove Lidija to LA airport where she flew off for 5 hours to Maui in Hawaii! I'm in the middle, which is not a bad place to be as its sunny California :D I am currently on a night train from Oakland off to Dunsmuir as I head back to the magic mountain for the third time this year!! Mount Shasta here I come!!
This morning I woke up in Paradise.
Still not quite believing where I was and how quick everything happened, I looked outside the window and saw a banana tree and a round bush full of tropical flowers. The air was humid and somewhat heavy, with shy rays of morning sun gliding through the misty clouds of the last night's rain.
I'm in Hawaii, on one of the most beautiful, idillic islands with a melodic name - Maui.
Wow... Two days ago I was still wondering where I'd be heading to. Feeling rather lost and indecisive about what, how and why. And today I'm experiencing hot tropical air, bountiful rainforest vegetation of lush green all around, waterfalls and rivers overfilled with fast waters and flowers, flowers, flowers everywhere. After the intense draught I witnessed in the past 2 months in California, seeing this incredible abundance of green and water is absolutely overwhelming...
Sweet Messages and Great Reminders from Santa Barbara (spiritual travel journal) - Lidija Ablamska
I have been having a couple of challenging days. Having come down with a cold I have been feeling low and rather miserable. Who likes being ill on a holiday? When there is so much around to enjoy in California but all you can think of is tissues, sleep and a warm hug. And all the uncertainty about the next steps to take going forward on my journey added another pinch of salt to my experience.
To cheer myself up I went for a stroll in downtown Santa Barbara. I enjoy walking into arty shops and galleries. Art being my ultimate medicine. I spotted a very quirky shop and came in to explore. Among many creative pieces of art, statues, paintings and eclectic notebooks there were two beautiful small books lying next to each other. "You Are So Loved" and "Everything Is Going To Be Ok!" were the exact titles of these two pretty books. How sweet! Exactly what I needed to hear and be reminded of at this moment. I smiled and felt gentle warmth rise up in my heart...
The Hidden Mysteries of Change and Surrender (spiritual travel journal) - Lidija Ablamska
Hello Beautifuls!
It's been a while since I posted. I have been on quite a journey from late August - first facilitating deeply transformational retreat in Mt Shasta, California for a beautiful group of 37 people and then travelling on down the West Coast. Currently in Santa Barbara, recharging and planning my next steps.
Below is my latest article inspired by the past 2 weeks on the road through California. With Love for you all!!
- - -
Today was a day of great SURRENDER! In capital letters and with an exclamation mark!
Me, Vaz Sriharan and Aang Aakha have been on the move ever since we said goodbye to all participants of our Mt Shasta Retreat and left the transformational Shasta land in Northern California.
We had a business meeting in San Francisco to go to, which happened to separate us from our original road trip group...
Lessons of Abundance from Mother Shasta (spiritual travel journal) - Lidija Ablamska
Waking up to the rich aroma of the pine trees. Filling up my bottle in the crystal clear glacier springs. Being led by the mountain to wondrous places and people. These have been my blessings for the past few days in Shasta, while I took some time off writing.
I see the mountain now as a Mystical Being - a Wise Woman, a Mother, a High Priestess, dressed in a dark green dress. A dress a forest creature would wear. Wild flowers twined into her hair. Nurturing and very direct. She will not wait around to tell you the bold truth you need to know or have forgotten.
She holds you by hand and lovingly but firmly, without saying a word, takes you on a journey - showing you the truth you forgot about the world, the truth you forgot about yourself. Taking apart the old view of who you Think you are to show you who you Really are...
The Joys of Slowing Down - Mount Shasta (spiritual travel journal) - Lidija Ablamska
After two days in Shasta I realised I was being a typical Londoner - time-efficient, eager to use my day to the full, packing it with things to do and places to see.
Letting go of this productivity craze, I now allowed myself to slow down and savour simple pleasures of slow living. Hence there was no timely update from me on day 3 in Shasta
It's been so much more rewarding to come back to the state of just Being. Allowing Shasta to introduce me to her special places, events and people in her own time and in my own time...

"loved it"
worth every penny
Very well written and masterly narrated.
I love books.
Neil Gaiman perfectly narrates his amazing story. I very highly recommend this audiobook.
"Don't see what all the hype is about"
It was an OK, entertaining story but not the great read everyone else is raving about. Middle of the pack at best.
"you must listen to this!"
Neil Gaiman at his masterful best - both as author and narrator.
May be a little intense for children under 12, but enjoyable for anyone over that age. Themes of love, redemption, courage, and loyalty.
As author and narrator, Mr. Gaiman does an outstanding job. This is the second book of his that I have listened to and he has become one of my favorite authors.
"Worth listening to!"
Geared toward a younger age group, but well written and narrated. I enjoyed it!
Geeky, Homeschooling Mom to three geeklets.
"Great book!"
I highly recommend, wonderfully written and read :)
a great story and wonderfully read by the author.
Very original. I hope there is a sequel or a series coming out of this! Great writing and narration.

You don't have to be an interfaith family to celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas each year. Any family can choose to celebrate whichever holiday traditions they wish. Holiday joy can be doubled, rather than halved, when you choose to light the menorah and decorate the Christmas tree to honor the cultural and religious traditions of both parents.
So forget the "December Dilemma." When it comes to religion, families increasingly run the Judeo-Christian gamut. In our family, we have Orthodox Jews on one side of the family tree and Born-again Christians on the other side. But my husband and I both share the same beliefs about diversity, tolerance, and spirituality. And that's what we intend to pass on to our daughter.
As a woman who was raised Catholic and has been happily married to a Jewish man for the past thirteen years, I can attest that once you become the parent in an interfaith family, you quickly become accustomed to not being able to please everyone. But since the wisdom of your hearts brought you and your partner together in the first place, why not call on that same source of wisdom to guide you through creating your own version of happy holidays?
Here are a few tips based on what our family has learned from holding the middle ground over the years:
The bottom line on family celebrations, holiday or otherwise, is to always do whatever you and your spouse deem best for your family. The only way to come to an understanding about what this means is to discuss it with each other first and last. Be prepared for this to be an ongoing conversation, and probably one that you revisit each year.
Never let bossy or opinionated family members horn in on conversations that rightly belong between you and your partner. You only have one spouse, and that's the person whose opinion you should value most. Your kids come next and the grandparents after them. Don't treat your parents like children or allow them to treat you like a child. This behavior will only create conflicts between you and your spouse.
Never apologize for being an interfaith family, even if people in your extended family or circle of close friends do not approve of your union. You are not seeking their permission — as Perchick expressed so boldly in Fiddler On The Roof — you are asking for their blessing. Creating harmonious and joyful dual holidays in your own home is your parental right and your familial duty, even if it means agreeing to disagree with certain members of your extended family.
Christmas may be more common and commercial than Hanukkah, but don't let that trump your holiday fun. The nice thing about Hanukkah is that it lasts for eight nights. Light the menorah candles and say the Hanukkah prayer every night, if you possibly can. You may be amazed at how moving and inspiring such simple rituals can be, even on busy school nights. Look for the quieter, more awe-inspiring moments in Christmas as well, such as ending the day admiring the beauty of the decorated tree and window lights.
At our house, we celebrate as much of both traditions as we can, without a worry about whether the holidays overlap or not. For me, this means the Christmas tree, the presents, the cookies, the big dinner. For my husband this means lighting two menorahs for eight nights (one for him and one for my daughter), and having our daughter's friends over for potato latkes and some lively dreidel games.
We make an effort to celebrate the bounty of two holidays without going overboard. If you are an interfaith family, your kids' friends may consider them "lucky" because they assume that they get double the gifts every holiday season. However, that's not necessarily the case at our house. Our daughter typically gets a little present on the first day of Hanukkah and a bigger present on the last day of Hanukkah. One set of grandparents sends a couple of little Hanukkah gifts and a check and the other sends a couple of stocking stuffers and a check. The amount of gifts she receives is essentially the same as it would be if we only celebrated one holiday.
Another thing we enjoy about dual holidays is that our daughter can share traditions about both holidays with her friends, no matter what religion they follow, exposing them to a culture they may not have had the opportunity to learn about.
When invited to join a new or old tradition on either side of the family, give the ritual a chance. We will try just about anything once. But we reserve the right to say no to pressure or anything that makes us uncomfortable. Maintaining an atmosphere where you can say yes or no to your parents without stern chastisement may not come easily in your extended family system. But start trying it, or you'll never get there.
We don't try to protect our family members from our choices. They need to be exposed to what we value, if we expect them to understand and accept our choices. However, we also try to respect the choices that each of our family members make without imposing our life choices on them. The Jewish families get Happy Hanukkah cards and the Christian families get Christmas cards. When we cross over, we go with "Happy Holidays."
Christina Katz loves celebrating the winter holidays with her family and friends. Each year her family enjoys exchanging ornaments for the tree and inviting a new group of friends over to play the dreidel game and enjoy potato latkes. Her latest book is "The Art of Making Time for Yourself, A Collection of Advice for Moms."

That is awesome! Congratulations to Snigdha! My mom says that I would enjoy being an English professor or a journalist when I get older because I'm so good at English/spelling/writing, but I've never even heard of guetapens! It'd be extremely hard to win a Spelling Bee, so I'm always amazed by the people that do! And I think it's great that her dad taught her how to spell when she was so young.
by teamjacob0625 on 6/5/2012 8:40:22 PM
I also heard her dad wrote a computer program to help with the pronunciation and spelling and that she practiced every day for hours. That just proves if you want it bad enough you can get it and it helps if your dad is a computer genius to write a program like that.

Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Insperity Inc.
) reported first-quarter 2013 earnings per share of 51 cents, in
line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The quarter's earnings
were 5.6% lower than 54 cents reported in the year-earlier
quarter. The year-over-year decline was mainly due to higher
investments for expanding the Business Performance Advisors group
and implementing health care reform strategy. However, this was
partially offset by higher gross profit per worksite employees.
Insperity's first quarter revenues of $611.8 million increased
2.8% from $595.2 million in the year-ago quarter and were
slightly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $615.0 million.
The year-over-year improvement was attributed to a 1.2% increase
in average paid worksite employees.
Operating Results
Gross profit increased 5.0% from the year-ago quarter to $108.1
million. Gross margin was 17.7%, up from 17.3% in the year-ago
quarter. The improvement was led by higher gross profit per
worksite employee per month.
Total operating expenses surged 7.7% year over year. Operating
margin was 3.6% compared with 3.9% in the year-ago period.
Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) was $27.3
million, down from $27.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
Insperity reported net income of $12.8 million or 51 cents per
share compared with $13.5 million or 54 cents in the year-ago
Balance Sheet & Share Repurchase
Insperity exited the first quarter with cash, marketable
securities and restricted cash of $326.2 million, down from
$328.6 million in the previous quarter. Accounts receivable
increased 5.7% sequentially to $201.2 million.
During the quarter, the company repurchased 472,211 shares worth
$13.5 million and paid dividend of $4.3 million.
Insperity expects gross profit per worksite employee in the range
of $253.0-$255.0 for the second quarter of 2013 and in the range
of $260.0-$263.0 for fiscal 2013. The sequential decrease is
mainly due to seasonality.
The company expects operating expenses in the range of
$87.75-$88.5 million for the second quarter and in the range of
$340.5-$342.5 million for fiscal 2013.
For fiscal 2013, the company expects earnings per share in the
range of $1.51-$1.61, given a tax rate of 40.0% and diluted
shares outstanding of 25.6 million.
Insperity provides human resources (HR) as well as business
solutions to small and medium business (SMBs) to help them
perform better. Insperity's first quarter results were
disappointing with the top line missing the Zacks Consensus
Estimate and the bottom line matching the same. Though second
quarter guidance seems weak on seasonality, we are encouraged by
a better visibility into fiscal 2013.
We believe that management's initiatives to expand the number of
Business Performance Advisors and implement health care reform
strategy will help it achieve its fiscal 2013 guidance.
In an internal survey, Insperity found that most of the SMBs are
willing to add employees in order to expand business activities.
This will have a positive impact on Insperity's fundamentals.
A debt-free balance sheet, share repurchases and dividend payouts
are positive, but increasing expenses, stiff competition from
Automatic Data Processing Inc.
Paychex Inc.
) and
Manpower Group Inc.
) are concerns.
Currently, Insperity has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany is ready to cede some sovereignty to strengthen the euro area and restore confidence in the common currency.
European Union treaty changes to strengthen EU institutions and patrol tighter budget rules are needed "to make the euro zone more crisis-proof," Merkel told reporters in Berlin today at a joint briefing with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
"Germany sees the need in this context to show the markets and the world public that the euro will remain together, that the euro must be defended, but also that we are prepared to give up a little bit of national sovereignty," Merkel said. Germany wants a strong EU and a euro "of 17 member states that is just as strong and inspires confidence on international markets."
Germany, the largest contributor to euro-area bailouts, is ruffling feathers with its plans for an overhaul of the EU's guiding rules. U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron rebuffed Merkel's proposal for treaty change, saying Nov. 14 that the crisis offers the opportunity to allow powers to "ebb back" to national states from Brussels.
Merkel explained that treaty change would mean "an intervention and oversight role in respect of the preparation of national budgets, but with flexibility to certain countries to do their own particularly budgetary strategy," Kenny said.
"We have an absolute interest in the continued strength of the European Union and the stability of the euro zone and the euro," Kenny said. Even so, "any steps toward major treaty changes would be very challenging," he said. "We had a frank conversation about that."
Merkel said that the existing treaties mean that the European Central Bank "doesn't have the possibility of solving the euro problem."

The AmScope IN200TA-M digital inverted trinocular compound microscope has interchangeable pairs of 10x and 1...6x plan widefield eyepieces, an under-mounted quadruple nosepiece with four DIN long working-distance plan objectives, top-mounted Brightfield halogen illumination, a 1.25 NA condenser with iris diaphragm, and a double-layer mechanical stage with a stage stop to protect slides and objectives from damage. The 1.3MP camera has a CMOS color sensor, a reduction lens, image capture and editing software, and USB 2.0 output to capture or display still or video images on a computer or projector. The anti-mold trinocular head has a sliding binocular mount with 55 to 75mm interpupillary adjustment and a fixed 30-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck strain. Anti-mold coatings protect the microscope in high-humidity environments. Interchangeable pairs of WF10x plan and WF16x plan eyepieces provide improved focus over the entire field of view (FOV). Dioptric adjustment on both eyepieces accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The vertical trinocular port accepts a 23mm or C-Mount camera. The under-mounted nosepiece has 4x, 10x, 25x, and 40x (spring) DIN long working-distance plan achromatic objectives that combine with the eyepieces to provide color correction of magnified images. Long working-distance plan objectives provide improved focus over the entire range of the viewing field and a longer working distance that is required when viewing specimens in dishes and large containers. An inverted microscope has its light source above the stage pointing downward and the objectives and turret below the stage pointing upward. It is most often used for observing organisms in a large container, such as a well plate or petri dish. It can also be used when specimens require manipulation, or in metallurgical applications.

The 1.3MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a computer or projector. The camera has 40x magnification and a 0.37x reduction lens that ensures that the display has a similar field of view as the microscope eyepiece. The camera can be mounted in a C-Mount or any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes image capture and editing software that provides still image and live video capture and editing capability, including measurement functions. The software supports JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, and BMP file formats and is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. Camera drivers are compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. The software includes Windows APIs for native C/C++, C#, DirectShow, Twain, and LabVIEW that enable custom application development. The camera has a USB 2.0 data port (cable included).

Brightfield illumination is mounted above the stage and has a traveling range of 25/32" (20mm). Transmitted 20W halogen illumination has a rheostat to control light intensity, and provides bright light in a concentrated path. The 1.25 NA condenser has two swing-out color filter holders, and is mounted on a steel rack-and-pinion control system that can be adjusted to control the distance of the light from the stage. An iris diaphragm optimizes the amount of light illuminating the specimen. The double-layer mechanical stage with 1mm stage divisions and 0.1mm vernier resolution locks the slide into place and provides precise slide manipulation along the X- and Y-axis to allow coordinates to be recorded, enabling the viewer to return to a specific location on the slide. The oversize stage is 7-1/2 x 5-11/16 inches (190 x 145mm) (W x D) and has a traveling range of 3 x 2 inches (75 x 50mm) (W x D, where W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back). Nested coaxial coarse and fine focus has a focusing range of 1-9/16" (40mm), tension-adjustable coarse focusing, and an adjustable lock ring stopper that limits stage range to protect slides and objectives from damage. All-metal mechanical parts, solid-metal frame construction, and a stain-resistant enamel finish provide durability.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.

United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope. The company, founded in 1996, is headquartered in Irvine, CA.
