TEXAS, January 8, 2014 — John Cornyn and many other Republican incumbents face significant primary challenges. They may have gotten away with symbolic conservatism for years, but today voters are looking for positive change in he Republican Party and for a more authentic and consistent conservatism, as exemplified by Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz in the Senate.
It is not that John Cornyn is not conservative. He is just not the right kind of conservative for the post-Bush Republican Party.
There was a time when it was enough to be pro-life and pro-gun. That standard has fallen by the wayside for something much closer to the vision of conservatism held by Edmund Burke, the father of Conservatism, or Barry Goldwater, Mr. Conservative.
John Cornyn may be conservative by the George W. Bush standard, but Judged by the Burke-Goldwater standard or even by comparison to Ronald Reagan, Cornyn's conservatism fails in three vital areas.
Republican voters are now expecting real fiscal conservatism. They want to see budgets cut, entitlements reformed and the financial burden of government on the people substantially reduced. The past standard of just reducing the rate of government growth while growing the GDP won't save us from the fiscal disaster which many see looming. They are demanding more.
Republican voters value civil liberties. They think that their party should be different from the Democrats and stand up for the rights of citizens to privacy, free speech and free association. They want government off the backs of the people as well as out of their pocketbooks. They still oppose abortion and support guns, but every Republican candidate passes that test. They want more substance.
Republican voters want party reform. Party leaders who supported Bush and refused to stand up to Obama are perceived as failures and traitors. They are the ones who collaborated in exploding debt and eroding liberty under the last two administrations. They sold the integrity of the party to the banks and international corporatists. They are not trusted to reverse these trends.
Unfortunately John Cornyn has a record that he cannot run away from, which fails to meet these new standards.
Cornyn is not a real fiscal conservative:
- Voted to bail out Wall Street with the $700 billion TARP bill.
- Voted for the massive and ongoing expansion of entitlement spending in Medicare Part D.
- Voted to raise taxes on 77% of the population with no spending cuts in the Fiscal Cliff deal.
- Repeatedly voted against conservative budgets with substantial cuts like those proposed last year by Rand Paul and Mike Lee.
- Voted to raise the debt ceiling eight times since 2002, allowing Bush war spending and Obama welfare spending to drive the nation to the bring of bankruptcy.
- Voted to continue funding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and even voted to keep funding for Egypt after their coup.
- Voted to increase the federal minimum wage, an unnecessary interference in the market which hurts small businesses and costs jobs.
- Voted to allow the Democrats to fund Obamacare by not holding the line on a key cloture vote, letting funding pass on a bare majority instead of requiring supermajority.
- Failed to vote against the Marketplace Fairness Act which enabled widespread taxation of internet sales.
- Is not a cosponsor of any of the pending bills to protect citizens from internet taxes like the Internet Tax Freedom Act.
Cornyn does not stand up for the rights of the people:
- Voted to reauthorize the PATRIOT Act, allowing massive government surveillance of citizens without warrants and expanding detention powers for law enforcement without due process.
- Voted to renew and expand the FISA act, allowing warrantless surveillance of American citizens, including enabling the NSA's massive illegal domestic data collection program.
- Voted for the 2012 NDAA act which included provisions for the indefinite and warrantless detention of citizens without charges, a warrant or due process.
- Voted against banning torture of detainees by the US military through a reform of military interrogation rules and proposed an amendment to protect those who torture illegally from prosecution.
- Supported the PIPA act up until it was clear it would be defeated. It would have given government the power to shut down websites without due process for the convenience of bureaucrats and corporate interests.
- Has not signed on to cosponsor any of the pending surveillance reform acts in the Senate including the bipartisan USA FREEDOM Act.
Cornyn stands against party reform:
- As Senate Minority Whip, Cornyn is a key part of the party leadership and responsible for efforts to intimidate and punish reform-oriented Senators who do not support the big spending, anti-liberty agenda of the leadership.
- As chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee Cornyn controls a huge campaign warchest and has consistently spent that money against reform candidates in important primary races, including opposing Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in their initial bids for election to the Senate.
- Cornyn has publicly attacked fiscal conservatives like Ted Cruz who stood up against Obamacare and he worked with the leadership to undermine Cruz' defunding efforts. Cruz has pointedly chosen not to endorse Cornyn for reelection.
Texas Republican Primary voters are highly motivated and well informed. They voted overwhelmingly for Ted Cruz in 2012 and they like the kind of pro-liberty, small government values which Cruz represents. They are very aware that Cornyn is part of the Bush-era GOP and one of the major players in a party establishment which is in the way of changes which they are demanding.
Cornyn is no Ted Cruz and is out of step with the conservative trends in the grassroots of the Republican Party. His record makes him very vulnerable to a Republican of principle who embraces change and the kind of conservatism the voters want.
As Cornyn's main challenger, Congressman Steve Stockman has a record of his own to run on. It's much stronger on the fiscal and civil liberties issues where Cornyn has failed and it includes being one of Cruz's main allies in the House.
The election remains Cornyn's to lose, but he is out of step with Texas voters and there may not be enough money to make up for his record and buy those voters back.

More than 150 million photos have been shared on Instagram, the iOS platform that launched less than a year ago in October 2010.
Instagram is a free iOS application with retro-style filters and uploads to its own social network, Facebook, or Twitter.
The small firm says its offers "a way for people to easily share their lives through photos taken on their iPhones," and adds that "more than 7 million people from all around the world share photos on our platform…. at a rate of 15 photos per second."
The traffic pales in comparison to Facebook itself, of course, which also offers mobile capture and uploads, but Instagram reached this milestone faster than such sharing sites as Flickr.
The service as yet has no revenue stream.
Meanwhile, image sharing website Flickr now hosts 6 billion photos.
The site, owned by Yahoo, says uploads have been increasing 20 percent year-over-year for the last five years.

Lar's dances are renowned for their musicality, rhapsodic style and sophisticated formal structures. His radiant, highly technical choreography and deeply humanistic voice have been acclaimed throughout the world. Lar Lubovitch has been hailed by The New York Times as "one of the ten best choreographers in the world," and the company has been called a "national treasure" by Variety.
Born in Chicago, Lar Lubovitch was educated at the University of Iowa and the Juilliard School in New York. His teachers at Juilliard included Antony Tudor, Jose Limon, Anna Sokolow and Martha Graham. He danced in numerous modern, ballet, jazz and ethnic companies before forming the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in 1968.
Lubovitch made his Broadway debut in 1987 with the musical staging for the Stephen Sondheim/ James Lapine musical, Into the Woods, for which he received a Tony Award nomination. In 1993 he choreographed the highly-praised dance sequences for the Broadway show The Red Shoes. The final ballet from that show joined the repertories of American Ballet Theatre and the National Ballet of Canada. For his work on that show, he received the 1993-94 Astaire Award from the Theater Development Fund. In 1996 he created the musical staging (and two new dances) for the Tony-Award-winning Broadway revival of The King and I. Most recently he devised the musical staging for Walt Disney's stage version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame in Berlin. In 2004 he was honored with the Elan Award for his outstanding choreography.
In addition to his work for stage, screen and television, Lubovitch has also made a significant contribution to the advancement of choreography in the field of ice-dancing. He has created dances for Olympic gold medalists John Curry, Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill and has choreographed a full-length ice-dancing version of The Sleeping Beauty, starring Olympic medalists Robin Cousins and Rosalynn Sumners. For French Olympic skating champions Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay, Lubovitch choreographed a television project based on The Planets by Gustav Holst; telecast by the A&E network in 1995, the program was nominated for an International Emmy Award, a CableACE Award and a Grammy Award.
In 2007, to supplement the activities (creating, performing and teaching) of the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, he founded the Chicago Dancing Company, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to present a wide variety of excellent dance and build dance audiences in his native Chicago. Initiated by Chicago-born Lubovitch (and our Chicago-based dancer Jay Franke), the Chicago Dancing Festival (CDF) was launched in cooperation with Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) and the City of Chicago. The official premiere of the festival was a free one-night-only dance concert at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. More than 8,000 people attended the performance, which featured dancers from seven leading American companies. For 2008, CDF will be expanded to include three days of programming. For his visionary risk-taking in establishing the Festival, Lubovitch was named a "2007 Chicagoan of the Year" by the Chicago Tribune.

Faces of Uxbridge: Air Marshal Landing
Uxbridge is home to rising stars Air Marshal Landing. The group started in 2008 where the band's three members, Matt Simmonds, Cory Adrian and Graham Drummond were attending university.
Simmonds and Adrian are long-time friends who first got together to jam in 2005 while attending Uxbridge Secondary School. Upon graduating from USS, Simmonds and Adrian left Uxbridge to attend the University of Western Ontario and the University of Waterloo, respectively. As such, their musical careers were placed on hold while they focused on their studies, only getting together occasionally to play.
While at Western, Simmonds met Waterdown resident and drummer Drummond. Simmonds is keyboard and bass guitar, Adrian is on lead guitar and vocals, and Drummond provides the beat. However, the newly-formed group still had a huge distraction to contend with: school.
"While attending university, we could only get together maybe once a month to practice," recounts Simmonds. "Usually we only had time to rehearse during the day of a gig," he adds.
Upon completing their university degrees, the three young men could now focus full-time on their musical careers.
Presently, Uxbridge serves as a perfect place to base their group.
"It's a nice community in the country with access to the city…a perfect half-way point," admits Adrian. In addition to that "small-town feel," and his family living just outside of town, Simmonds adds his parents' garage serves as an ideal place where they can rehearse.
"We can make lots of noise without bothering any neighbours," laughs Simmonds. And of course, "money is an issue if we lived in Toronto."
While their music appeals to teens and young adults, the three agree it first must appeal to themselves.
Their main focus is to produce music they personally enjoy. "If you can't do it for yourself, then there is no sense playing at all," explains Simmonds.
One of their keys to success is the ability to record their or jam sessions…with their iPhones!
A big part of their marketing involves social media through Facebook, Twitter, and their official website.
"We're as social as you can get," Adrian says. "If you are not on social media, you're not going to make it," adds Drummond.
The future for Air Marshal Landing appears to be quite active for these three fun-loving guys. They have a number of performances planned on the university circuit, an appearance at Canadian Music Week slated in March 2012 in Toronto, and their first full-length album to be released in late spring 2012. The band will also perform at the Uxbridge Skate Park Fundraiser on Feb. 18 alongside Whosarmy and Lauren Malyon.
"We also hope to make an appearance at NXNE (North By Northeast, a music and film Festival) in June," adds Simmonds.

Where Does The Name Come From?
"Air Marshal is the Batman of air travel. It's up to him to stop the bad guys. He's the guy, there's no one else. But I think that everyone kind of believes that they could be that guy. We all wonder, if it came down to it, would we up for the task? Stories like Flight 93 from 9/11 propel these thoughts, I think we all like to believe we could have taken control of that plane from terrorists and landed it safely.
"So the name Air Marshal Landing comes from some of these ideas. The 'landing' part assumes that Good wins in the end. And you know what? It does." – Matt Simmonds.

Changes tune after Messi scores 2 goals in a 4-1 win that returned Barcelona to top of Spanish league.
BUENOS AIRES - A prominent Argentine football manager has backtracked on criticism of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, after suggesting that his fitness may be an issue just four months before the start of the World Cup.
"It seems that Messi answered me (with the goals), and I wish it were like that," Angel Cappa said on Radio Mitre in Buenos Aires on Monday.
Messi scored two goals on Sunday, and assisted in a third for a 4-1 win against Sevilla that returned Barcelona to the top of the Spanish league.
Cappa, who worked as an assistant manager at Barcelona in the 1980s before coaching first division Argentine clubs including River Plate in 2010, said last week that he was worried that 26-year-old Messi was running out of steam.
Messi, a four-time winner of the Ballon d'Or, or European Footballer of the Year, returned from a two-month injury layoff in mid-January with stellar performances.
But the teams' 2-3 loss against Valencia on February 1 had raised concerns.
"I don't know if it is for the injury or something else, but I see him a little off," Cappa said Thursday in an interview on a Barcelona television program.
"I see him professionally fulfilling his task. But he lacks the love of the game, that craziness, that passion that makes him go looking for the lefts, for the rights, to go face-to-face, dribbling one, two. And that is what I see that Messi has lost. He has extraordinary skill, he is marvelous, and at any moment he can make a wonderful play, but it is like he's been married to football for 15 years and has become bored."
Called onto Argentine radio for his comments, Cappa now appears to have changed his mind, saying he thinks it's normal for players to go through rough patches after years of performing at their best.
"It's unfair to always ask that they have the same motivation," he said, adding that Messi "is a wonder" even when playing at 50 percent.
Sergio Levinsky, a sociologist who has written books on football, said that Argentines get extremely worried whenever anything happens to a star player like Messi.
"There is nothing more important than football in Argentina," he said.
Levinsky said President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner`s government is also worried about Messi's fitness, along with that of Sergio "Kun" Aguero, and the rest of the national side.
With the economy stagnating under high inflation and dwindling dollar reserves, the government would benefit from a strong run in the tournament to boost people's morale.
"The government is speculating that the World Cup will bring the country two to three months of euphoria," he said.
"If Argentina plays well, that might just happen."

Dispatches from #NETmundial2014: A few random thoughts after the Internet World Cup
I write these lines from my hotel room at Sao Paulo, Brazil. NETmundial, the so-called Gloval Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance, has ended yesterday, and it doesn't seem to me that the future of Internet Governance is any clearer now than it was the week before.
A lot has been written about the discussions, about the facts and the figures and the dry technical discussions that happened during the last days. (I actually wrote a couple of things for Global Voices here). However, I'd like to take a moment and just write down a few things that are ruminating in my head and that will become stale if I don't put them somewhere:
1) Women representation: There were a few of the brightest, more talented women I've ever met, speaking and working hard there at NETmundial. From Nnenna Nwakanma, who delivered a beautifully articulate speech that encompassed, clean and strong, the civil society position on the issues at hand, to Renata Avila, whose hard work made possible the incredible event that was ArenaNETmundial, where people gathered in a more open, more welcoming space to engage and exchange opinions outside and in paralel to the meeting: the overwhelming majority of intelligent, well-informed conversations I had outside from the meeting, in the hallways and at lunch, were with awesome bright women from all over the world. However, the panels, the mics, and the screens did not reflect this: the ratio was 4:1, with several panels composed only by men. Bright, amazing men? Yes, of course. But there was no shortage of women complying with those same requirements on the floor.
2) I do feel that the text that was approved under the name of Sao Paulo Multistakeholder Statement falls way short in the field of freedom of speech. I somehow understand that for some people -maybe those who aren't seeing their freedom of speech immediatly threatened- just a declaration that "freedom of speech must be respected" might sound like enough. But it is not. As an absolute minimum, it must be undisputably clear that any measures taken to restrict freedom of speech must be taken by a judicial authority and after a due procedure, and that they must comply with the three requisites that the international human rights framework has consecrated: legality, legitimacy and necessity. This is not something that should even be discussed; it is a human rights standard, and it needs to be a principle for the Web.
I missed parts of the discussion, because my time was divided between the main venue and the Arena, but I still can't wrap up my mind on how and why the word "express" disappeared from the phrase "freedom to hold and express opinions" in the first paragraph of the outcome document.
3) It was assumed that the main issue to be considered was massive surveillance, the reason that compelled president Roussef to organize the meeting in the first place. However, it is clear that the language of the Statement is lukewarm to say the least ("Procedures, practices and legislation regarding the surveillance of communications, their interception and collection of personal data, including mass surveillance, interception and collection, should be reviewed...", the document reads). While some people has expressed their satisfaction that the text even made it to the final document (as with the bit on "permissionless innovation"), I do believe that with all the hype that had been building up, the paragraph on surveillance ended up being much ado about nothing.
While the meeting was closing at the Hyatt, at the Arena, Jacob Appelbaum recommended to encrypt every single communication, until the costs of spying every single citizen of the world become just unbearable for governments. I find myself having to agree.

Hi Marianne,
Thank you for sharing this here. I am glad to know one of the WorldPulse sisters was at the #NETMundial meeting in person. I have been following the Internet Governance debate for a while and and also followed some of the netmundial meetings remotely. I agree that this platform had some really talented women leaders as contributors and taking leading roles.
The good news is that this multistakeholder meeting managed to include contributions from almost all stakeholders. On top of that, it produced an outcome document which many other international meetings had failed to do so far. Therefore, overall I feel it is a good step towards the right direction. There is always room for improvement off course.
Kind regards.
Iffat Gill
je voix que tu es par mis le
je voix que tu es par mis le femme leadeur de notre communauté worldpulse , suis d'accord que cette plate-forme avait quelques femmes leadeur vraiment je suis heureuse et j'espère le nouvelle change travers toi en tant que contributeurs et en prenant les rôles principaux.
Muhorakeye Esperance
Marianne Diaz, Thank you for sharing your reflections on the internet governance meetings. As Iffat mentioned, I am grateful to read the thoughts of someone likeminded who was there. Of course I am especially disheartened, but not surprised, to read about the lack of equitable representation. I remain hopeful that some day diversity will be valued as the best innovation and planning strategy globally. I hope that those of you who attended and felt underrepresented found meaningful venues to share your ideas. Your thoughts are certainly not wasted on me.

A word about our services.
Christ Church has several regularly scheduled weekly services. They are on Sunday at 8:00 & 10:30 AM, and Wednesdays at 7:15 AM.
A word about our worship.
Sunday is traditionally when Episcopalians gather to worship. The principal worship service is the Holy Eucharist, or as it is also known, "The Lord's Supper," "Holy Communion," or "The Mass."
All Are Welcome.
All baptized Christians -- no matter what age, and no matter of what denomination -- are welcome to receive communion, that is, eat the bread and drink the wine with the congregation, regardless of which Church they were baptized in.
Worship Styles
There are many different styles in which Episcopalians worship, from very formal with lots of singing, music, fancy clothes (called vestments), and incense, to very informal spoken styles that have...
Liturgy And Ritual
Worship in the Episcopal Church is said to be "liturgical," which means that the congregation follows the same service and prays from texts that don't change very much from week to week during
The Holy Eucharist: The Liturgy of the Word
In spite of the diversity of worship styles in the Episcopal Church, Holy Eucharist always has the same components and the same shape.
The Holy Eucharist: The Liturgy of the Table
Next, the priest stands at the table, which has been set with a cup of wine and a plate of bread-or thin, crispy wafers. Then he or she raises his or her hands and greets the congregation again: "The Lord be With You."

Newman hopes to right course at Martinsville
When it mattered a year ago, everything went right for Ryan Newman.
Since then, not much has gone his way.
It looked as if that might be the case for Newman in last spring's 500-lap race at Martinsville Speedway when he was penalized for pit-road speeding and fell a lap behind. Then the dominoes fell his way.
He worked his way back on the lead lap and was in the top 10 when cars lined up for a late restart. That put him in position to take advantage when Clint Bowyer set off a big wreck trying to take the lead by going inside of side-by-side Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon as they got to Turn 1.
Newman said he gave Bowyer a push, setting up three-abreast racing going into the tight turn, which predictably turned into a recipe for a wreck. Newman shot into the lead as Bowyer, Gordon and Johnson spun and caught other cars. Newman drove away after the ensuing restart and notched his first Martinsville victory.
"We never give up in any situation," Newman said. "That was just one good example. ... I put ourselves in a bad situation when I was busted for speeding in that position. I didn't think I could get busted for speeding on pit road because of the way the timing lines were, and I did, so that was my mistake. But to fight back the way we did, we made the car better throughout the race, and it was just great teamwork. The guys did a good job on that last pit stop to put me out fifth, which gave me the opportunity to give Clint a little extra courage going into Turn 1.
"But every weekend we have different challenges, and as a team, every team has different challenges, but for our team we never give up, and I am sure every team says that, it's just a matter of who fights through it the best. We had a great Sunday a year ago."
All of the Saturdays and Sundays with races since then haven't been so great for Newman. He comes back to Martinsville trying to break a 36-race losing streak in which his best finish has been a third at Homestead in last year's finale.
He hasn't gotten off to great start this season. He sits 20th in points after five races thanks to 40th and 38th place finishes that offset top-10 finishes in the other three events.
"Our two DNFs at really put us in a hole, so the two races definitely helped out to know that we can be competitive at a place like Bristol where we ran seventh, California we ran 10th," Newman said, "And Daytona, we ran fifth. To look at the differences in the racetracks, that kind of gives us a little bit of perspective for the season to know that we're versatile to go to different racetracks and we can be competitive as a driver, as a team and within the organization.
"I look forward to Martinsville, but I just — those two DNFs really hurt us in the points. I'm not so much worried about being 20th or wherever we're at as much as I am making sure that we keep the top 10 streak going and moving forward, and I think we can do that at Martinsville."
Newman is working with a new crew this season at Stewart-Haas Racing, the result ofr his team headed by Tony Gibson moving over to Danica Patrick's car. Newman's crew is head by Matt Borland, who was Newman's crew chief at Penske Racing.
"I'm proud of what Matt Borland has put together as a team, and we've got three top 10s in five races, albeit two DNFs, but our ultimate goal I would say would be to have zero DNFs for the next 31 because it's going to take zero DNFs in the last 10 to be a champion," Newman said.
Caraway Speeedway will be in action on Saturday night, with a Late Model Stock race as the feature.
Dan Moore won the Late Model feature last Saturday, with Gene Kepley second and Dean Fogleman third. Justin Newlin was the Limited Sportsman winner as Josh Lowder finished second with Paul Wark third.
Austin Thompson of High Point repeated as the Southern Modified Lite winner as Josh Lowder finished second with Jimmy Wallace third. Jason Stanley won the opener in a 10-race series of 40-lap Street Stock races. Other winners included Mark Baker (Mini-Stock), Ed Collier (Hornet), Riley Halverson (Legends Cars) and Brad Martin (U-Cars).
Forecast for rain prompted Piedmont Dragway officials to move the season-opening Big Dog Shootout scheduled for tonight to April 11. But, racing scheduled this weekend is still on. ... 311 Speedway in Madison, about 20 miles south of Martinsville, will play host to the Carolina Clash series for dirt late models on Saturday night. Races for the track's weekly divisions are also on the docket. ... The first of three open practice sessions for all four divisions is slated Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium. The other practice periods are on April 13 and April 18. The quarter-mile track's 65th season opens with a 200-lap Modified feature on April 27th.

Superconducting heavy ion injector linac
Superconducting heavy ion injector linac A conceptual design for a very low velocity (.007 < v/c < .07) superconducting heavy-ion linac is reviewed. This type of linac may have significant cost and performance advantages over room-temperature linacs, at least for applications requiring modest beam currents. Some general features of the design of very-low velocity superconducting accelerating structures are discussed and a design for a 48.5 MHz, v/c = .009 structure, together with the status of a niobium prototype, is discussed in detail. Preliminary results of a beam dynamics study indicate that the low velocity linac may be able to produce heavy-ion beams with time-energy spreads of a few keV-nsec. 11 refs, 4 figs.

In a recent study involving resveratrol, a team of researchers found that the compound kept mice healthier as they aged, though it did not extend overall lifespan. The study, co-authored by Rafael de Cabo of the National Institute on Aging and noted resveratrol researcher David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School, found that resveratrol, a natural chemical compound found in grape skins and red wine, provides cardiovascular benefits, better motor coordination, reduced cataracts, greater bone density and better kidney function.

Trieste is a native Utahan, born in Salt Lake City. She was whisked off to California when she was five years old, where she grew up with the beach boys, mini skirts, Disneyland, and the ocean.
Trieste moved back to Utah with her family when she was sixteen and immediately took to the outdoors. She fell in love with the mountains and wasted no time learning to ski at Sundance. Years later, Trieste's work took her to the east coast where she spent 12 years on the coast of North Carolina and in Washington D.C. Though she loved her experience, Trieste ultimately returned to Utah where her love for the unique land was re-kindled. During the ski season, Trieste can be found on the beautiful ski slopes of Sundance. It's wonderful to be able to call Sundance 'Home'!
Traci and Christine purchased this cabin in 2006
It began with a perfect 'bluebird' ski day. We bought our cabin with the idea that we might rent it out 2 or three times per year to fund our own vacations. As it turned out..., the cabin was such a perfect vacation rental that it began to rent much more than we'd planned, and the rental income was a very good thing for us back then, as we had just moved back to Utah and were working on new careers. For a long time now we've been investing our rental income back into our cabin, creating one unique project after another. I call it our expensive hobby, but really, it's a wonderfully artistic outlet for us, and our rental guests love it.
Hummm, where do I begin? I am in love with Sundance! I treasure the stunning beauty of the mountains and wildlife. I love the skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, horseback riding, fly fishing, rafting, birding, the fun concerts & theater under the stars, full moon lift rides, and oh, did I already mention SKIING?!! I love the peace and seclusion, but I love the social village atmosphere more than ever, and the killer restaurants & Owl Bar. Oh, and the Sundance Film Festival is awesome here at ou cozy little resort!!!
Taken from guest book at cabin:
Dear Trieste, we had a wonderful time at Dreamcatcher! The views were amazing! I remember the wonderful big bath tub looking out onto Mt. Timpanogos. Thank you!!Stunning.

Woka Lamps Vienna produces exclusive lighting based on contemporary Wiener Werkstätte and Jugendstil designs. Many of the high-quality reproductions can be seen in the city center showrooms and on the Woka website. Josef Hoffmann's crystal chandelier for the Palais Stoclet in Brussels, Otto Wagner's outdoor lighting for Vienna's Stadtbahn commuter railway and Adolf Loos' designs for gentlemen's outfitters Knize are among the highlights. The lights are made exclusively by hand and, in some cases, using original tools. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Now in its sixth generation, legendary Viennese glass and lighting producer Lobmeyr is a byword for time-honored, quality manufacturing. The company (est. 1823) also has a long-standing tradition of working with leading designers to produce various timeless classics such as the B series drinking glasses which are manufactured according to the original sketches by key Wiener Werkstätte creative Josef Hoffmann.
There are several Josef Hoffmann designs in the Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten portfolio to this day. Introduced in 1929, his Melonenservice (a striking striped mocha set) has been in production ever since its introduction in 1929 - as has his Atlantis tea service (1930).

Irena Sprunger, who served for 20 years with the Congo Inland Mission (later Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission), still recalls the way she struggled with God's call on her life when she felt the tug in her heart to become a missionary to Africa.
Sprunger was attending Missionary Union meetings in Berne at the time. On a Sunday afternoon, a missionary from Nigeria was speaking and Sprunger felt her call.
"I felt called to be a missionary, but I didn't want to go," said Sprunger recently at Swiss Village. "I resisted the Lord all summer. Right after the war (World War II) I went to Grace Bible Institute, a Mennonite School in Omaha. I knew that if I was going to go as a missionary, I wanted to be a Mennonite missionary."
Sprunger's obedience led to serving 20 years in the Belgium Congo, including a one-year study of French in Belgium.
"I went by way of Belgium; I felt called to go but it was a struggle for me," Sprunger said. "I tried my best to talk the Lord out of it. I worked linotype at the Economy Printing at the time. I had also worked at Berco."
Once she arrived at the Congo, Sprunger served at Charlesville, originally called, "Djoka Punda," which was considered the transport station for the mission.
There she taught printing, started a girls school and taught at a Bible School. All of her students were Africans; Sprunger stressed that she had a deep love for the students.
Congo Inland Mission was organized at Meadows, Ill. in March of 1911 by the Evangelical Mennonite Church and Central Conference Mennonite Church. The official name of the original organizing committee was, "The United Board of Missions," but on Jan. 23, 1912, the name was changed to the Congo Inland Mission and was incorporated as such.
By the end of 1923 the church membership at the four stations was 200, by 1932 there were 1,200 members, and by 1936 the number of baptized Christians on the Congo Inland Mission field was 3,145. Between 1911 and 1936, 89 missionaries served in this work.
The mission carries on evangelistic, industrial, educational, and medical work.
Each of the four stations had a boys' and a girls' school and natives trained to teach in the outstations. One of the most important activities was the translation of the New Testament into the Kipenda language. This task was done at the Mukedi station and required nine years to complete.
The First Mennonite Church is celebrating the establishment of the mission throughout this year, culminating with a major celebration service on Sept. 14.
One of the tasks that Sprunger was required to complete was a major test related to teaching in the Belgium Congo. She was then considered a qualified teacher and the mission received money from the Congo government for her teaching work.
In addition to teaching, Sprunger also played the organ for chapel at the mission each morning.
In addition, Sprunger ran the LECO Press for all of the missionary work in the Congo.
"I'm glad that I finally gave in and obeyed the Lord," Sprunger said. "Even though I went single, the Lord gave me a husband in Vernon Sprunger, when I was 43-years-old. His wife had passed away."
Ironically, Vernon was the father of Wilmer Sprunger, of Berne, who also served
with his wife, Kenlyn, at the mission. Vernon's wife, Lilly, had been Wilmer's mother. After she passed away in 1960, Vernon married Irena in 1962.
Wilmer, who was born in the Congo in 1935, lived at the mission until 1953, when he went away to attend college. Between 1957 and 1959, he did volunteer missionary work as a service project in lieu of military service. Then, in 1964, at the recommendation of his wife, Sprunger and Kenlyn returned to the Congo where he served as a teacher.
Sprunger said that he and his wife were working and residing near Akron, Ohio, when she said, "why don't we go serve the Lord in Africa?"
Sprunger said that he struggled initially because he wasn't sure if he wanted go because he was called or because, from his circumstances, he was welcoming an opportunity to go "home" where he had been raised.
"I knew that I had to answer to the Lord; I had decided to go anywhere," Sprunger said. "God made me so aware of a bigger picture in the world. I realize that there are many people all over the world who need a Savior. I already realized when I was a little boy in the Congo that there was a much bigger picture of kingdom building.
"I praise the Lord for the church that God is establishing there, so many have come to know Jesus as Savior. I am very proud to be part of that program. What has been rewarding to me in the past 10 years has been seeing some of my former students taking positions of leadership in the church," commented Sprunger.
Anna V. Liechty, also of the First Mennonite Church, joined Irena and Wilmer at the Swiss Village visit to talk about her 38 years of services to the mission. Her main job was teaching.
"I worked in five different stations. I was always teaching, but it was in different levels of school," said Liechty. "I taught first grade schools at a time when girls were traditionally not going to school yet.
"I was in my latter teens when I first felt called, but I didn't actually go to the mission field until I was 30," added Liechty.
Prior to going to the field, Liechty graduated from Moody Bible Institute where she majored in Christian Education, Music and Missionary Bible. On her first furlough return, she attended Goshen College where she received a bachelor of arts in social studies and a minor in English. She eventually attended Ball State University where she received a masters in French and minor in English.
"I spent much of my life in school," said Liechty. "I was already past 68 when I left the mission field, but I was still raring to go. I had very little sickness throughout my life; God left me enjoy my work. Enjoying your work is so helping in doing what you're supposed to do."
"The Lord never gives us a task bigger than what He asks you to do," commented Irena Sprunger. "We worked under certain denominational heads, but we never made that a big thing. We were there as children of God to reach people for Christ, regardless of the name."
The Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church (now the Fellowship of Evangelical Bible Churches) joined the Congo Inland Mission in 1938, and the General Conference Mennonite Church joined in 1943. In 1972 the name was changed to Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission (AIMM) to reflect a vision to expand the mission work beyond the borders of Congo.

Principle of astrology proven to be scientific

I enjoy real astrology not newspaper garbage and now that scientists are looking into this is really cool...the article states that scientists are calling it "seasonal biology" (don't you love the english language ) oh well...it will throw the die hards off the path using the expression "seasonal biology"
Astrology proven to be scientific
(NaturalNews)Mention the word "astrology" and skeptics go into an epileptic fit. The idea that someone's personality could be imprinted at birth according to the position of the sun, moon and planets has long been derided as "quackery" by the so-called "scientific" community which resists any notion based on holistic connections between individuals and the cosmos.
Researchers demonstrate scientific principle of astrology
Skeptics must be further bewildered by the new research published in Nature Neuroscience and conducted at Vanderbilt University which unintentionally provides scientific support for the fundamental principle of astrology -- namely, that the position of the planets at your time of birth influences your personality.
How to discredit real science
It all reminds me of the discovery of cold fusion in 1989 by Fleishmann and Pons, who were widely ridiculed by the arrogant hot fusion researchers who tried to destroy the credibility (and careers) of cold fusion researchers (http://www.naturalnews.com/025925_c...). After the very idea of "cold fusion" was attacked and demolished by these arrogant scientists, it soon returned under a new name: Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR).
Don't confuse tabloid astrology with real astrology
Even astronomy has its tabloid versions, too, which are entirely non-scientific. For example, every model of our solar system that I've ever seen is a wildly inaccurate tabloid version of reality, with planet sizes ridiculously exaggerated and planet distances not depicted to scale. These silly, non-scientific solar system models imprint a kind of solar system mythology into the minds of schoolchildren and even school teachers. Virtually no one outside the communities of astrophysics and astronomy has any real grasp of the enormity of not merely our solar system, but of our galaxy and the space between neighboring galaxies.

This is total crap. Not only is NaturalNews a haven for unscientific beliefs and quacks, the article author apparently can't even read the press release he's talking about. The Vanderbilt study has to do with the effect of the duration of light exposure on neural structure, not the position of planets or anything. Leave it up to someone who thinks cold fusion was legitimate (really, Pons and Fleishmann? They were discredited so thoroughly they are the textbook example of scientific fraud) to misread a simple study and construe it as evidence for his magical worldview. There is no difference between "tabloid" and "real" astrology. They are both prescientific, superstitious crap from a previous age.

Thanks for posting Quando.... the entire Bible is based on astrology and there's a good reason why the Zodiac was inlaid in the floor of the Jewish Temple.
NaturalNews is a good site

The Kardashian family is known for having each others backs no matter what so it didn't come as a huge shock when the youngest of the three sisters, Khloé Kardashian Odom, made a statement to defend older sister Kim and publicly relinquish her support of the mega animal rights organization, PETA.
It seems like everyone has something to say regarding the incident that occurred last week at the London West Hollywood hotel when the now identified attacker named Christina Cho doused Kim with a bag of flour on the red carpet at the launch party of her new fragrance, True Reflection, which also served as a benefit for Dress for Success.
Many people (mother Kris Jenner being the most vocal) were proud of Kim for her poise and composed reaction to the attack; she returned to the red carpet just minutes after the incident with a smile on her face and ready to continue interacting with press. However, Khloé wants it to be known that she is not dismissing the powdered assault quite yet.
Khloé has been an extremely public supporter of PETA for several years now and even has posed nude for the organization's celebrity anti-fur ad back in 2008. Khloé's PETA shoot was featured in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that year and even shows an L.A. PETA official named Michelle Cho putting together the shoot and conversing with Khloé about it. Now this is where the powdery pieces of the puzzle come together.
The same Michelle Cho, who coordinated Khloé's nude PETA PSA, is the sister of Christina Cho, the animal rights activist who flour bombed Khloé's sister last week. PETA has past referred to Christina as a "superstar activist" and even presented her with an award in 2010 for her activism. Clearly, PETA and Christina Cho are connected, to say the least.
Khloé takes to her personal blog & twitter by saying "I am absolutely disgusted by their (PETA's) behavior." & "I will still continue to NOT wear fur, but I will no longer support PETA. Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won't be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise."
Various sources are saying that Christina's floury feat was done without the knowledge OR sanctioning of sister Michelle or PETA. In a statement to E! News, PETA says: "We are very fond of Christina. She is a very kind, wonderful volunteer who is deeply moved by cruelty to animals." The organization has also promised to take care of any legal expenses caused by Christina as a result of this incident.
Khloé has always been highly vocal when it comes to her stance on anti-bullying so I don't see her budging on this issue anytime soon.
What do you guys think of Khloé's actions against PETA? What would you do if you were in her position?

The Teen Talks is a semi-regular discussion type feature here on the blog, that allows me to talk about a variety of things from my teen perspective.
The glitz of the new year is slowly wearing away as people move back to their normal lives.If you're like me though, you've made resolutions and- shockingly- actually want to stick to them. I'm trying out some new things this year, because even though I am going to be crazy busy, I'm ridiculously determined to stick to my resolutions. Even if you didn't make resolutions, I think it's safe to say we have all made goals, whether they're something like "finish my homework before midnight!" or "completely re-do my blog design by next month!". Regardless of what they are, or how many you've made, I think it's worth saying that you want to stick to them, yes? I'm trying out some new things this year to see if I can make my resolutions stick, and so I'd thought I'd share some advice on how to actually accomplish those resolutions or goals. =)
So here they are!
- Break them down. Thus far, I think this one has been the most helpful to me. I've made pretty general resolutions, but then I went ahead and broke them up into little chunks. From there, I'm planning to have a set monthly goal, and then do a loose weekly goal to see how I'm doing. If I'm accomplishing my weekly goals, then I'll be getting my monthly ones done as well, overall contributing to my resolutions' success.
- Track your progress somewhere you look often. Tracking your progress is key to accomplishing any goal, especially long-term ones. But what I've done this year is create THIS lovely thing. I hung it right by my bed, so I see it every day. I get to see my goals every week, and then I'll be crossing things off as I get them done, to have a visual of what I'm actually getting done. It's super motivating, and it's something I suggest trying of course.
- Find your motivation. Honestly, with any goal, it can be tiring to continue on. Slaving away at a blog design is hard stuff, let me tell you, from experience. So, it's nice to have some motivation- whether it be music, pictures, or quotes- to really inspire you to get moving again. If you're in a blogging slump and one of your goals is to blog consistently, you might have some screenshots of your favorite comments or something that you look at to motivate yourself, or a list of your favorite blogging moments. I'm big on inspiration, so I myself have a doc of inspirational quotes, to really get me going when I'm running low. Having inspiration and your set motivation of why you're even doing this thing in the first place will be super helpful in actually getting your goal accomplished.
- Play "Carrot or Stick". This is actually something the NaNo boards are famous for, so shout-out to them. Basically, you set yourself a goal, and a stick- something you don't like doing- if you don't accomplish it in a specific amount of time, along with a carrot- a reward- if you do accomplish your goal. This is great for short term goals like "I need to write 7 reviews today!". If you tell yourself you'll have to stay up doing homework if you don't get through it, or reward yourself with a cupcake if you do, that'll raise the stakes and really help you achieve your goal.
- Be held accountable. This is the most obvious, for pretty clear reasons. It works. If you tell someone your goals and tell them to yell at you if you don't accomplish them/aren't actively working on them, you'll be so much more motivated to actually get them done. I always like to show my sister my goals, because she's the kind of person that will actually ask about them and yell at me.
Those are just a few methods I'm using this year to get stuff done! I want 2014 to be an amazing year, and so, I'm hoping to get much accomplished using the above.
Did you make any resolutions? How are you planning to stick to them? Do you have any advice on how to make resolutions stick? Let me know!

While many Coloradans are focused on the booming oil and gas industries or the controversial hydraulic fracturing, Stanford University's Precourt Center saw potential to bring together a wealth of energy knowledge at the Vail Global Energy Forum (VGEF), which included renewable solutions. This past weekend, VGEF 2014 featured Nokero, Tesla, K-Light and other solar products that provided an eye-opening view into the future of energy.
In a state as environmentally conscious as Colorado, renewable energy is as important as traditional oil and gas. Solar lights make use of our abundant sunlight while offering affordable outdoor lighting options that don't need any daily maintenance. Even in the United States, it is important to replace electricity with sustainable options wherever possible.
Between 2000 and 2010, U.S. oil and gas companies contributed one fifth of total U.S. investments in renewable energy technologies. This estimated $9 billion toward solar, wind, and biofuel technology. Although it may seem an unlikely pair, oil and gas companies have recently become interested in solar partnerships due to the understanding that not everybody may be able to afford standard energy, but everyone is entitled to energy around the world. Where oil and gas may reach certain areas, small-scale solar lights such as those made by Nokero are the perfect complement to reaching off-grid locations and helping large companies to continue to energize the world.
Jason Switzer's blog points out:
"Developing renewable energy plays to the strengths of the oil and gas sector, which include energy market insight, technology know-how, mega-project management excellence, rock-solid credit and community engagement experience. Renewable energy investments can also earn oil and gas companies favourable political capital among climate-conscious community members and decision makers."

|On June 22, Álvaro García and Francesc Teixidó presented their respective research developed during the two last years to obtain the Advanced Study Certificate, which certificates their research capability. Álvaro presented a work focused on organizing the knowledge of a case-based reasoning systems by using an approach based on an evolutionary multi-objective clustering algorithm. On the other hand, Francesc presented a hierarchical regression method that employs evolutionary computation to evolve a population interval-based rules that contain a regressor in the consequent of the rule.
The examining committee, presided by the associate dean in research of the Ramon Llull University, gave the maximum grade to both works. They specially highlighted the quality of the report, the number of publications associated to the work and the good presentation. The examining committee encouraged them and their advisors to continue on the hard way towards their thesis completion. Congratulations Álvaro and Francesc, you are almost there!

these shoes are so comfortable...
By: MatildeRuiz
They can be used to walk all day! They are like standing in clouds. It should be illegal to even sell them, these Reebok shoes are sooo good! I highly recommend this shoes, they are pretty, comfortable, nice, easy-to-clean and they can be used with a wide variety of colors, they are more dressy than the usual boots and tennis, perfect for slacks.

Good Looking, Great protection, and comfy!...
By: Janet R.
I tromp around demo sites and needed something durable, safe, and comfortable. These shoes fit the bill! I don't slip in the summer rainshowers and feel safe walking a debris field where my high boots aren't really needed. The toe box in the wide is very comfortable and allow my feet to move inside and stay comfortable all day. Additionally, they look good when running errands after work...I don't have to carry other shoes to not look dorky in my work shoes when stopping off. My shoe's don't look like a retired old man donated them to me;-)
Thank you for carrying a truly women's appropriate work shoe.
