HUUmanists is the web page of the Unitarian Universalist humanist group.
Online, read the article "Reason and reverence" by William R. Murry, in the Winter 2006 UU World. It gives short introductions to humanism and religious naturalism as well as a vision of the application of both philosophies.
The book Humanism, What's That? A Book for Curious Kids by Unitarian Universalist Helen Bennett (Prometheus, 2005) provides age-appropriate explanations of humanism and humanistic values. It presents some central theological debates in accessible language. Former UUA president Rev. William G. Sinkford commented, "This small volume holds out the hope and openness of Humanism in a form that can help young people confront Fundamentalist approaches to religion with confidence... [it] embodies the values which are central to my faith and is a wonderful addition to our ministry of liberal religious education." The scripted format of Humanism, What's That? might make it appealing to incorporate into a Riddle and Mystery WCUU broadcast segment.
Humanism beyond Unitarian Universalism
The American Humanist Association is a voice for humanism in the U.S. The organization's home page reads, in part:
"Bordered on one side by the transcendental views of traditional religions and mythologies and on the other by atheism and secularism, the values we hold are grounded in the philosophy of the Enlightenment, informed by scientific knowledge, and driven by a desire to meet the needs of people in the here and now."

First and foremost i answer to the Easter Bunny
I love you. Whenever i see your face my every problem every worry
every frustration melts away and i can't help but smile
only thinking about how much I want to fall asleep in
your arms at night and wake up by your side each morning. I want to be with you forever. i wish i could have met you sooner so that my time with you could have been just that much longer. i want to be with you, by your side no matter what until i cant go on any longer... and even then i want to be with you for the rest of eternity... my heart brakes with just the thought of being kept from you for to long...
I love you Shawn Logan.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Du Plooy, Amelia email@example.com URN etd-09122005-150204 Document Title The impact of visual sequencing of pictures on the picture-based sentence construction of English-speaking Grade 2 learners Degree M (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) Department Centre for Augmentative and Alternative Communication Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof E Alant Keywords
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
- Picture Communication Symbols (PCS)
- sequencing
- picture-based sentence construction
- linguistic competence
Date 2004-08-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the role of visual language input on PCS sentence construction. Thirty-nine participants were divided into two comparable groups and exposed to two inputs of presentations of PCS to investigate the impact of each input on the sentence construction of the participants. In the SVO input the sequence of buttons was in the normal English word order sequence (Subject-Verb-Object) and in the SOV input the word order was Subject-Object-Verb. Both input groups had to answer six questions by using PCS as well as speech. The findings indicated that the participants did not sequence their output to match the word order of the unfamiliar SOV input. The participants receiving the SOV condition used fewer PCS elements than the participants receiving the SVO condition. The participants receiving the SVO and SOV inputs gave similar spoken answers. Reasons for these findings are discussed, as are the implications for further research. Files

@StarJo - I know what you mean. I was fascinated to learn that the flower of the dogwood tree is actually the tiny mass of yellow stuff in the center of the white bracts, which I always thought were petals.
The bracts of the dogwood stay closed until the danger of freezing temperatures has passed. When they first open, you can see tiny yellow structures with smooth tops. In the area where I live, this usually happens in April.
These yellow flowers eventually blossom. The smooth petals curl open, and then you can see the greenish-yellow pistil surrounded by stamens holding up the yellow pollen.

noun \i-ˌpis-tə-ˈmä-lə-jē\Definition of EPISTEMOLOGY
Origin of EPISTEMOLOGY
Other Philosophy Terms
Rhymes with EPISTEMOLOGY
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Study of the origin, nature, and limits of human knowledge. Nearly every great philosopher has contributed to the epistemological literature. Some historically important issues in epistemology are: (1) whether knowledge of any kind is possible, and if so what kind; (2) whether some human knowledge is innate (i.e., present, in some sense, at birth) or whether instead all significant knowledge is acquired through experience (see empiricism; rationalism); (3) whether knowledge is inherently a mental state (see behaviourism); (4) whether certainty is a form of knowledge; and (5) whether the primary task of epistemology is to provide justifications for broad categories of knowledge claim or merely to describe what kinds of things are known and how that knowledge is acquired. Issues related to (1) arise in the consideration of skepticism, radical versions of which challenge the possibility of knowledge of matters of fact, knowledge of an external world, and knowledge of the existence and natures of other minds.

Under these brutal circumstances, the only reasonable charge for a textbook would be nothing -- and that's precisely what budding scholars in sub-Saharan Africa and areas in similar straits would pay if the dream of the Global Textbook Project is realized.
An undertaking conceived by McCubbrey, University of Georgia prof Rick Watson and colleagues at Ohio University and the City University of Hong Kong, the project (on the Web at www.globaltext.org) envsions textbooks written and updated by volunteer academics employing the sort of wiki software popularized by Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia whose entries are written by the site's users. One benefit of this approach would be timeliness. Although knowledge in many fields changes rapidly, getting this information into new textbook editions often takes years -- and online updates could happen much more quickly. But the main advantage involves fees, and the lack thereof. Students and educators would be able to utilize this material free of charge -- and for those who don't have access to computers, McCubbrey and company are exploring a variety of options inspired by the $100 Laptop Project inaugurated last year by faculty at the MIT Media Lab. Within weeks, Watson will get a firsthand look at an e-book reader manufactured by a company in China; it's reportedly the size of a paperback book but can hold 100,000 pages of data. Right now they go for about $300 a crack, but Watson is hopeful that this tag will drop to a low-enough level during the next few years that devices preloaded with textbooks could simply be given to needy students.
"It's a grand vision," Watson concedes, "but I don't think the problem is solved by a small vision."
The Global Text notion sprang from a request by several of Watson's students that he teach a course in Extensible Markup Language (XML), a computer data-storage format that's been around for several years. When Watson failed to find a decent textbook for the class, he decided to have the students use wiki to write one themselves. The resulting text, which can be perused at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ XML, turned out so well that Watson and colleagues such as McCubbrey began fleshing out the format with the world's poor and undereducated in mind. They've already lined up profs in the U.S. and more far-flung locales to pen a chapter apiece of the first textbook, which focuses on information systems; it should be completed by year's end. In addition, folks in Malaysia, Tunisia and beyond have committed to translating the text into Chinese and Arabic (Spanish is also on the wish list), and a pair of software engineers at China's Wuhan University are expected to modify the wiki software to Global Text's specifications.
Eventually, McCubbrey and Watson hope to create 1,000 wiki textbooks -- enough to support two years of undergraduate study in most subjects. They can begin moving forward in earnest if they can raise $400,000 in seed money, and they are actively making proposals to companies and foundations with a Warren Buffett-like desire to better the planet via wise infusions of cash.
If Global Text works internationally, there's no technical reason why its textbooks couldn't be adopted by American universities, resulting in mammoth savings for U.S. students. Problem is, that prospect would upset the powerful forces that profit from the textbook biz -- particularly publishing houses. Watson would like to steer clear of such a confrontation for now. "We don't want to make a full-frontal assault on the publishing companies," he says. "That would give us opposition that would be harmful to the much bigger goal of supporting the developing world."
McCubbrey feels the same way, and not just because he's written a few textbooks himself. Yet he wouldn't mind forgoing future royalty checks if he could help students overseas, and on these shores, too. After all, he notes, "If I thought money was the most important thing in life, I wouldn't be in academia."
Don't kill the Messenger: The May 11 version of this column focused on the High Plains Messenger, an ambitious attempt to create a full-service online newspaper with no print equivalent that focused on a single metro area -- Colorado Springs -- rather than a national/international audience. The site, www.highplainsmessenger.com, was staffed by extremely bright, creative people, and financing seemed secure. Nevertheless, Messenger co-founder Joseph Coleman, a Colorado Springs restaurateur, admitted the risks inherent in such a bold and untested concept. "There's nothing like what we've done in the United States so far," he said, "and that can be dangerous."

My Advantium is runs about 45F lower than programmed temp. Service was just here and they called GE. They said that is normal because actual oven temp should be 25F lower than programmed due to "convection baking offset", and from there +/- 25F error is in "spec". There is no temp calibration on the Advantium120 apparently. Does this sound right? To me it doesn't. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Caliente63 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 2, 13 at 15:40
You didn't say how you know the oven is running about 45F below what you programmed. Are you using a good quality thermometer? The owner's manual says: "Auto Recipe Convert: Auto recipe conversion reduces the convection baking temperature automatically by 25┬║F when turned ON. You still input the recipe temperature and the oven control What happens if you try changing that setting? |
Caliente63, Thanks for the info. The temperature 45 low was confirmed by the service techs thermocouple. I checked the settings like you suggest and indeed auto convert was on. The service tech (third party) did not know about it. So with the 25 down from convert I am still about 25 low. However the tech says that is within the spec (+/- 25F) of the oven. I can live with that, just adjust by recipes accordingly. |

Time to add on (I think) but finding the right UY seems hard
We currently have 320 OKW April UY. It seems from my research finding another April UY might be the most challenging part. Does UY matter as much if we go with a different home resort for our add on (I mean I know remember deadlines and stuff) but we would have two member contracts either way with 2 home resorts, right? I think I might be more confused than I should be one this.
If you stay with the same UY, they would fall under the same membership. You could easily combine multiple home resort points at 7 months to make reservations.
If you have two different UYs, each contract would fall under a different membership. To combine points you would need to either make separate reservations or transfer points from one membership to the other. |
Owning different UYs is having different separate memberships. Many own different UYs but we prefer only one.
:earsboy: Bill |
Thank you! That was were I was unsure/confused. I was afraid different home resorts meant different membership numbers already! Now to find the perfect April contract!
I just wanted to give you some positive encouragement. We had been looking for a 100 point SSR March UY contract with no luck for two months. Then, over Thanksgiving there was four posted within a day of each other -- all of which are now under contract, one of which is ours. It takes some time but be patient and you will find it! Don't settle. We got exactly what we wanted at the exact bottomline price we had in mind.

Living with diabetic neuropathy can be difficult and frustrating because there are often no outward signs, making it hard for people to understand your condition. If you find yourself getting down, it may help to talk to a counselor or therapist. Or, some people find that support groups — either in person or online — are helpful because you're talking to others who truly understand what you're going through. In addition, members of support groups can offer you encouragement, as well as advice about living with diabetic neuropathy. Ask your doctor if there any support groups exist in your area, or for a referral to a therapist. The American Diabetes Association offers online support through its website.

I'm trying to filter the list of elements available when adding a child. I know this can be done using allowedComponents. I'd prefer that this is a dynamic list, not a hardcoded list. How can I add every part which has "xxxx_Machine" as its parent?
My attempt is here: edited
Any help would be appreciated.
Edited by
If you're using allowedComponents, you can just say { :xxxx_machine } and that will allow you to insert new children using all designs that inherit from xxxx_machine.
It's not necessary to get the actual designs which inherit from that.
Hope I am answering your question...
Edited by
It does work, but I was hoping to have a bit more control over the selection.
Right now I have 2 parts directly under xxxx_Machine, then more parts under another Mixin(Also under xxxx_Machine). Is there a way to display these parts all next to each other when making a selection?
Currently, each part is hidden beneath its mixin, and the mixin has to be expanded to see the part. (The part I'm looking for is 2 levels beneath xxxx_Machine)
Edited by
As far as I know, and given that mixin structure, you cannot use the built-in UI to get what you want. You'll have to either write a custom UI (relatively big job) or change the mixin structure. One thing you might try (I haven't tried it) -- add an extra mixin to exactly the designs you want to see. It doesn't need to contain any rules. Then use that mixin as the "allowedComponents". Maybe the mixin will need to inherit from the "root" (project) design (which is also empty).
I'm now finally building a UI. How can I do what I mentioned above in the UI? You mentioned it was possible, but I haven't found a function I can use which will find the children of a Design in the Design Model tree.
The ETO documentation has gotten better, but the UI documentation seems near nonexistant.
If you are "building a UI", you're probably using the Intent managed API (Autodesk.Intent namespace). You can use "IntentAPI.GetDesigns" to get a DesignEnumerator, and then there are methods on that to get individual Design objects and certain subsets of Design objects. And/or you can use the properties of individual design objects ("mixins" property, "isKindOf" method) to search more carefully/specifically.
If you're not already using the Intent managed API, then I hope I am not leading you in the wrong direction. Your question seems a bit vague to me. Please consider the possibility that I am not understanding what you want to do. Usually customers don't need to show the real Design (class) hierarchy in their end-user UI, except in limited cases ("show the user all the kinds of widgets she can create"). But maybe that's what you're doing, based on the questions earlier in the thread.
I'll try to explain better. In the Design tree I have a design which has several parts under it. In the UI, I'd like to allow the user to choose a part from a list of the parts which have that design.
The image isn't of the best quality due to company policy, but here is a small snippet of my design tree: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46698764/Capture.PNG
In that situation, I'd like to get a list of all parts/assemblies which use the design "_Transport". If successful, I'd have a list of "_Drive_Motor", "_Stop", "_Intersection", "_Straight".
I wasn't sure if I should be looking for the parts which are children of the" _Transport" design, or I I needed to find all parts from the design model and use the isKindOf function on them.
Executive summary: you probably do want use the API mechanisms I mentioned in my earlier message.
OK, we're getting somewhere, but it's not yet precise enough to give you an accurate answer.
There are two different hierarchies: the Design "hierarchy" (which is really a graph, not a tree, due to multiple inheritance -- each Design can inherit from multiple Designs), and the part hierarchy (which is a strict tree, each part has one and only one parent).
Designs are like "classes". Parts are like "instances".
Or, in Inventor terms, an Intent Design is kinda analogous to an actual IPT file, while an Intent Part is kinda analogous to an occurrence of the IPT file in a parent IAM file. Note use of "kinda". If you're an Inventor user, it will be obvious that the things you do with an IPT file are vastly different from the things you do with an occurrence in an assembly. Hence the need to be precise.
So it doesn't exactly make sense to ask about "looking for the parts which are the children of the ... design".
It does make sense, albeit loosely, to speak of _DriveMotor, _Stop, and _Curve_Transport as designs which are children of _Transport (but not _Straight -- I think you meant _Straight_Transport in your question). Usually we don't say "design A which is a child of design B" because of the two "hierarchies". Usually we say, "designs (such as _Drive_Motor) which inherit from _Transport" or "designs which mix in _Transport". The latter also clarifies, a bit, the fact that a design can inherit from more than one design (multiple inheritance, aka multiple parents, although, again, we don't like to use the term "parent" when talking about Designs). On the other hand, we do say "part A which is a child of Part B" ... here we are talking about the actual Intent model, as instantiated from a set of Designs. Parts can only have a single parent, so the parent/child terminology is unambiguous for Parts.
It looks from your image like you are talking about the Design hierarchy. As a general rule, you have to use the Intent API to query the set of Designs, as opposed to using Intent-language rules (in other words, Intent doesn't support reflection (much)). In that case, you probably do want use the API mechanisms I mentioned in my earlier message. It's probably NOT the right thing to find the parts (instances, occurrences) in the model ... that will only tell you the ones that have already been created (although it's hard to know for sure from what I'm guessing here).
The API is documented in Inventor under the "?" button, under "Community Resources" -- "Programming Help (Intent API)".
Anyway, I'm trying not to be pedantic, just trying to be sure that I give you correct advice. And it's easy for me to blather on and on...
Sounds like I was mostly just using the wrong terminology. I'm talking about the design heirarchy.
I understand what you're saying about designs having multiple inheritance, but the design heirarchy still displays the designs in a tree view. In the screenshot I took, you can see how the _Transport design "appears" as if it is a parent to several other designs.
I'm looking for a list of the designs which use both IvAssemblyDocument and _Transport. (The IvAssembly mixin changes the design's icon, which is why I incorrectly referred to Designs which use it as parts)
I'm unsure of which function to use to filter down the list of designs. I have the following incomplete code below...
List<string> listOfTransports = new List<string> ();
Autodesk.Intent.DesignsEnumerator designList = Autodesk.Intent.IntentAPI.Instance.GetDesigns();
foreach(Autodesk.Intent.Design oDesign in designList)
if(oDesign //isOfType IvAssembly and isOfType _Transport)
I know about the intentAPI documentation, but without examples I've been unable to determine what some of them actually do. The conveyor demo has been decently helpful so far, but compared to what I'm attempting to implement, the demo is very limited.
So close! Try something like this (I haven't tested it).
List<string> listOfTransports = new List<string> ();
Intent.Design oTransport = Autodesk.Intent.IntentAPI.Instance.GetDesign("_Tra
Autodesk.Intent.DesignsEnumerator designList = Autodesk.Intent.IntentAPI.Instance.GetDesigns();
foreach(Autodesk.Intent.Design oDesign in designList)
if(oDesign.isKindOf(oTransport)) 'maybe need to check that it isn't oTransport itself.

Youth Remembered at the Youth Grove on Thursday, May 10, 2007
The City of Santa Clarita and the Blue Ribbon Task Force will host the 2nd Annual "Evening of Remembrance" on Thursday, May 10, 2007, at 7:15 p.m. to remember Santa Clarita Valley youth who died in traffic-related collisions. The event will be held at the Youth Grove in Central Park, located at 27150 Bouquet Canyon Road.
The program will include songs and readings, and will be highlighted by a reading of the names of the 69 youth who are included in this memorial.
"Controlling the number of fatalities on the road is an impossible task, yet the people of Santa Clarita have taken on this issue and mobilized its efforts in a positive direction towards a lasting legacy," commented Mayor Marsha McLean.
"The community has built a permanent memorial that will teach the youth of today and of future generations to make good and responsible choices."
The half acre-memorial features individual pillars that mimic cut tree stumps, each representing a young life cut short on the road, and bearing a plaque with a name and a reminder that this young person is "Forever 16" or "Forever 18" or "Forever Young."
The stumps surround a central monument featuring the "KNOW MORE" vow urging the community to "KNOW MORE" about safe driving habits, and to pledge that "NO MORE" young lives will be lost from drinking and driving, or from reckless and irresponsible choices.
Recently, the Youth Grove was honored with two prestigious awards, the Helen Putnam Award from the League of California Cities, and the Award of Excellence from the California Park & Recreation Society.
The Blue Ribbon Task Force is comprised of community-based organizations, parents, youth, educators, law enforcement, businesses and City staff.
Since its inception in 2000, the Task Force has worked with our community to educate parents and teens about different teen issues, including the consequences of abusing drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
For more information on the "Evening of Remembrance" event and the Youth Grove, please call Tess Simgen, Community Services Analyst, at (661) 255-4956 or visit www.santa-clarita.com.

The Top 10 Bar Carts
Truth in Decorating: Designers Marie Turner and Ray Booth take these versatile pieces for a spin and find they create an instant party wherever they go
By Mitchell Owens
As you revel in the great outdoors this summer, don't forget to bring the refreshments along with you. "Mad Men, martinis—there's something grown-up and fun about the resurgence of the cocktail hour," says interior designer Marie Turner. An elegant bar cart is "a traveling party," she adds. "Look for one with extra storage and a rail that holds everything in place." Removable trays allow you to bring drinks to your guests, and brakes are a bonus—"to prevent your liquor from rolling away."
Designer Ray Booth recommends a sturdy cart with big wheels that won't get caught on grass or gravel. "I always try to get my drinks out fast when I've got a thirsty crew," he explains. Booth also loves "the little cutouts that keep the bottles from bouncing out. You don't want too many challenges when you're mixing a drink." Poolside margaritas are Turner's favorite summer beverage. Booth shares her appreciation—"but," he says, "a martini follows me around all year." Chin chin!

Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 O foolish Galatians! Who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been clearly set forth, crucified among you? | 1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. |
2 This only would I learn of you: Did ye receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? | 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? |
3 Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? | 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? |
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain -- if it be yet in vain? | 4 Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing? |
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you, doeth He it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? | 5 Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard? |
6 Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness." | 6 Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." |
7 Know ye therefore that those who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. | 7 Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. |
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached beforehand the Gospel unto Abraham, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed." | 8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." |
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. | 9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. |
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written: "Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." | 10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." |
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith." | 11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." |
12 And the law is not of faith, but "The man who doeth them shall live in them." | 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." |
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is every one who hangeth on a tree"), | 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." |
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. | 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. |
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: A covenant, though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man annulleth or addeth thereto. | 15 Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. |
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "and to seeds," as though many; but as though one: "and to thy Seed," who is Christ. | 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. |
17 And this I say, that the Covenant which was confirmed earlier by God in Christ cannot be annulled by the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, so as to make the promise of no effect. | 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. |
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. | 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. |
19 For what then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and itwas ordained by angels through the hand of a mediator. | 19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. |
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. | 20 A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. |
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should then have come by the law. | 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. |
22 But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. | 22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. |
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, being shut apart from the faith which should afterwards be revealed. | 23 Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. |
24 Therefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. | 24 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. |
25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. | 25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. |
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. | 26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, |
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. | 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. |
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. | 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. | 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. |

Against the Odds: The Life of George Albert Smith (Hardcover)
by Mary Jane Woodger
Product Description
Though George Albert Smith's generation knew, revered, and respected his life and teachings, he has been relatively unknown among contemporary Latter-day Saints — until now. Rich with anecdotes and passages from his correspondence and journals, this historical narrative portrays the private life of George Albert Smith within the framework of his public image, consistently revealing the noble character and endearing personality of one of the Lord's prophets.
George Albert Smith's years chronicle tremendous growth and change. As the nation progresses from bicycle to automobile to airplane, a "horrid" boy branded as the neighborhood terror becomes a humble yet mighty man who "excels in human kindness." His transformation begins in the fires of childhood illness and young romance and continues as this gangly traveling salesman serves as a missionary and an Apostle, weathers extensive and chronic health problems, and finally stands as a prophet during the first general conference of the Church after the end of World War II. Every page tells an engaging story of great struggle, faith, and loyalty. And at its center is the enduring love between George Albert Smith and Lucy Woodruff, the girl whose long, black braids he once dipped in ink and tied to a tree.

Totally enjoyed
by Raewyn - reviewed on January 18, 2012
I enjoyed this books, not knowing anything at all about President Smith it gave me some insights into his life, which will help me understand his teachings more as we study them this year. An easy read.
Very Nice Introduction
by Steven F. - reviewed on January 22, 2012
This book is well documented, and shows how President Smith overcame many personal challenges. The author gives good insight into his family dynamics, especially his wife Lucy. I think the book is an excellent supplement to the Teachings of the Presidents: George Albert Smith (2011). I do recommend purchasing and reading.
A Shallow and Short Bio
by Franck - reviewed on December 26, 2011
With all due respect to the Author, this biography does not offer anything new as an insight into the life of President George Albert Smith. And at the retail price..which is too high, the 96 pages are frankly not worth the price. I would not buy this "book".

Kobe Bryant will not receive a fair trial in Colorado. The reason will not be because of his descent; rather, it will be because of his current residence. That's right, he won't get a fair trial because he is from California. In fact, I would place his African-American ancestry at the bottom of the list, behind being from California and being a celebrity. All told, though, that's three strikes against the man from the beginning.
I know this is true from firsthand experience. I moved to Colorado in 1994 as part of a corporate relocation from San Francisco, settling in Longmont. While I lived there, I had neighbors turn me in to the police for maintaining my California registrations on my cars. I lived in Longmont for two and a half years and was finally so desperate to get out, I took a job in Los Angeles. To this day, I still prefer to be anywhere but in Colorado.
There is one thing that Bryant can be thankful for. He can be thankful he is not Cheyenne or Arapahoe. If he was, I would expect the good settlers of Eagle County and Colorado as a whole to dispense with the formality of a trial and merely slaughter Bryant, mutilate his body and string the body parts across the Denver Opera House like their ancestors did. And if I hear that the judge is named Chivington, or if I hear that members of the 3rd Colorado Regiment are hanging around, I may have cause to rethink even that.
Then again, Alferd Packer was from Colorado, wasn't he? Serving his fellow man since 1869.

Tarnished Silverman: I had a lot more respect for Craig Silverman when he was a Denver prosecuting attorney. Now, as a legal analyst, he discusses how Kobe Bryant might even get his case dismissed if he finds enough "dirt" on his accuser. I thought Silverman possessed some professional virtue and a belief in our legal system and due process, rather than the use of malicious hearsay and rumors.
Craig, in case you don't remember this: Trials are to be conducted in a court of law and presented to an impartial jury that will review the facts of the case -- not all the pretrial publicity, hype and propaganda. You should know better, and I thought more of you!
Dennis Hammond
Love is all we need: Syndicated talk-radio host Tom Leykis says he revealed the name of the woman accusing Kobe Bryant of sexual assault because he doesn't believe you can have a fair trial where you know the name of one person and not the other. This was inappropriate in every way!
This woman and everyone like her could probably use our support right now. I will not turn on her and assume that she's lying. And another thing -- I refuse to be baited by the media's enthusiastic titillation of our cultural fascination with the sexual prowess of black men. I want this story to stop being portrayed as if it is about sex and lies: Rape is not sex. Rape is about power and control.
Ain't love what violence demands we spread, not persecution?

A body of work: It was interesting to read the July 31 Off Limits blurb about the Rocky Mountain News posting corpse photos of the Hussein brothers on its Web site. I don't suppose the News's office was flooded with cops from four metro agencies, as happened to me when I took corpse photos while working in the funeral industry in Denver several years ago. Aside from "violating" the dead, the big complaint was that I "added" to the scene by placing signs near the corpses with slogans such as, "Happy Halloween" and "Time's Up." I suppose that was way worse than the U.S. military shaving the corpses to make them look the way that suited their purpose best. I did it as an art project and admitted I was wrong to do it. Don't expect to hear that from anyone involved in these new "corpse-abuse photos."
In other news, can I add that although I live in New York State now, lately it feels like I still live in Denver. I read all the NYC papers daily, and thanks to Kobe Bryant, I am seeing nonstop quotes attributed to the Denver dailies. And it ain't like the scandal at the Air Force Academy, Columbine aftermath and the Ramseys don't pop up here and there, too. Denver really is getting bigger.

Arms and the man: I am a staunch believer in the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. I live in Texas but read the news and belong to Rick Stanley's e-mail list (Off Limits, July 24). The papers in Colorado are no different from those in most metropolitan areas: sickeningly limp-wristed. An armed citizenry that knows how to and when to use arms is essential if we are to keep this country free.
You people up there better wake up and support Stanley from the same bureaucracy that will step on your neck when you least expect it to. From a Texas point of view, it sounds like you have allowed too many tea-sippers to take over your state. The safety of the little valley could come to an end and people like Rick will keep you safe when the bulletproof-vested ninnies have thrown in the towel because of overtime disputes. For God's sake, get a grip on that judge -- that is, if there are any men left in what I used to consider a man's country.
I guess I will have to rethink my northern neighbors. I guess the commune just spread out. Love and peace, man; nice roach clip, dude. If that is all that is left, all I can say is: "Run, Rick, they are not worth the effort."

Maytag Corporation reported fourth-quarter consolidated sales of U.S. $1.16 billion, down 8.4 percent from sales of $1.27 billion in the same period of 2003. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $14.1 million compared to net income of $23.9 million from the same period last year. The fourth quarter of 2004 included 13 weeks, versus 14 weeks in the fourth quarter a year ago. The fourth quarter included restructuring and related charges for the Galesburg, IL, U.S. plant closure and "One Company" reorganization, as well as reserves related to the early generation front-load washer litigation. Maytag said unfavorable fourth quarter and year-over-year comparisons were caused primarily by lower Hoover floor care sales and margins and lower sales of vending equipment in its commercial products segment, along with higher steel and energy-related costs. For the full year 2004, Maytag's sales were $4.72 billion, down 1.5 percent from $4.79 billion in 2003. Net loss for 2004 was $9 million or 11 cents per share, versus net income of $120.1 million, or $1.53 per share in 2003. Maytag Services and Maytag International experienced double-digit revenue growth during 2004. Weakness in the vending industry produced a sales decline in Commercial Products, partially offset by improved performance in the Jade commercial cooking business, the company said. Maytag Chairman and CEO Ralph Hake noted that the company experienced sequential volume growth in the floor care business in the fourth quarter, particularly with extractors and hard-floor cleaners. The company is lowering its earnings guidance for 2005 as a result of lower revenue generation in the fourth quarter 2004 and recent distribution announcements that occurred in January. The company expects reported earnings per share in 2005 of $1.10 to $1.30, including about $0.05 in restructuring charges, down from $1.50 to $1.60 per share including about $0.05 in restructuring charges. "It's not business as usual for Maytag," Mr. Hake said. "We're a leaner organization that's becoming more responsive on all levels. We expect to benefit in the coming year from our 'One Company' cost reductions and our stream of innovative products, including the new Maytag 27-inch washer and dryer, Jenn-Air suite of reflective glass appliances, the FloorMate(TM) hard floor cleaner, and a premium upright introduction, among others. "As we work through the first quarter, we also expect to benefit from favorable pricing initiatives, which were announced late last year," he added.

I have the Kohler Persuade vanity with matching sink, which will go in the right corner of my very small (5x7) bathroom. I would like the sink up against the right wall, but cannot with the porcelain tile baseboards in the way as the sink sides are flush with the vanity legs. The bathroom guy suggested cutting the BBs where the legs would go, but I don't think this will look good. I'm pretty sure he means to do a straight cut, i.e., a 90 degree angle to the front side of the BB, then put the cut edge against the leg. First, there's no way to get this cut perfect, so there'll be a gap between the BB and the leg and second, even if there was no gap, I think it would look weird to have something against and therefore partially covering the leg. If the baseboards were wood, I would cut the BB at a 30 degree (or less) angle to the front side so that as the BB approaches the vanity leg, it recedes to a point for a more seamless look, maybe even sand it so you don't see any angle. I don't know if you can do this with porcelain and if so, what tools you would use? My bathroom guy resists doing any extra work and always manages to find a reason why he can't, so I'd like to be specific in whatever I propose to him. I am not looking for perfection and really only care about the front side of the front right leg as the only visible spot so it is not even a ton of extra work, but I know he will push back anyway. Any advice on my suggestion, or a better suggestion, would be greatly appreciated! |

Cut the baseboard with a multi tool EZ Peazy, or scribe the cabinet leg. Scribing the cabinet leg is much harder. Or give up getting it flush. You'll never notice the cut baseboard with a bit of caulk there. |
Metal vanity legs and porcelain baseboard tile, neither wants to give way to the other. Would you consider removing in-the-way the legs completely? 1) Remove the offending legs, cut them off where they meet the bottom edge of the vanity carcass. You want the screw to go no deeper than 1-1/4" into the stud, so about 2-1/2" deck screws would be a good starting point for screw length. Adjust the length as needed. |
*bump* curious what happened here?? |
For our hall bath and MB, the vanities/sink tops were installed flush against the side walls. DH then installed the base molding from door molding up to the front vanity leg, and then installed another piece behind the leg (up to the back leg). It appears as though the vanity leg is fitted into the molding. (DH fileted or ripped down the base molding for the bathrooms because our base molding throughout the house is thicker than the width of the vanity legs) We were able to do this because the molding went in last, after the rooms were completed, and you should be able to do the same with the tile BB, cutting the tile to fit. For already installed wood molding, it should come off ok if you're careful. Then just make your cuts, sand it all down, paint it, install it, fill in nail holes, and touch-up as needed. Voila! |
Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestions! I am going to propose to my bathroom guy cutting down the baseboards with a tapered cut using a multi tool (I thought I saw his lying around) as it sounds like the simplest solution. He decided not to come today (that's another story) so I'll have an update tomorrow. Cat_mom: Is the fit of the vanity leg and the molding seamless and if so, how was your husband able to achieve it? Also, what does "filet" or "rip" mean with respect to the molding? I am wondering if this is something that applies to my situation. Thanks again, everyone! |
DH had to make our base molding "thinner" because it would have stuck out from the wall too far, not only for the vanity legs (would have stuck out past the leg), but it was also too thick too fit behind the toilet in one of the bathrooms. He just sliced the boards (molding) using his brother's or our friend's table saw or something (much like slicing a piece of chicken, or meat, or fish into thinner pieces). The fit isn't seamless, but it's a pretty snug and clean fit. No taper, just cut straight, and smooth--the base molding runs right up to the leg, then stops. The leg is a little wider/thicker than the molding (after the molding was cut-down), so a sliver of the leg sticks out past the molding, and the leg itself looks like it is fitted into the molding. Best pic I have for you: |

I notched my tile baseboard in order to get a vanity bumped up snug against the wall. You could potentially notch the vanity, but it might depend on construction and whether that will cause any structural problems for the vanity. |
Sorry for taking a while to update on this, our bathroom/kitchen renovation was being finished up - it is done! - and it was so crazy hectic! Now my work begins, where I do all the little things I asked to be done that were not, such as resealing the marble shower tiles, caulking the whole shower area (they only grouted!), fixing drywall, etc. But I am so relieved, so happy, to have my home back, that nothing could bother me! As to the original issue, well, it turns out that all the pondering was for naught. It turns out our bathroom walls are not square so with the sink/vanity up against the back wall, there is a gap on the right side that widens as you move towards the front. Here, the gap is large enough for the baseboard to be passed behind (to the right of) the front leg. It is narrower towards the back, where the baseboard was cut and butted up against the back leg. Not pretty, but no one will see it (except me, when I'm cleaning). Unfortunately, there is still the gap between the sink and right wall and we're not sure what to do about it at this point. Anyway, this is on the backburner for now, I am just going to enjoy how much nicer everything is and be happy! Thanks again to everyone for all of your ideas! |
I was lucky -- the legs on my vanity were screwed in to the wood bottom, and when my GC and I were staring at it when this same issue arose, I was the one who came up with the solution! We just moved the legs a few inches in from the back edge of the vanity bottom. |

So i did a game with luke, upgraded by r2, and marksmanship, also had biggs so all in all around 60 points, enemy had vader with squad leader and some missiles, as well as mauler mithel with determination.
Luke and r2 combo r amazing for evading and taking hits then regenerating his shields, biggs makes for good fodder when u keep him close to luke and can get some decent shots off before he dies. Now granted i was against two good pilots and not an overwhelming tie fighter force, but still while biggs died first, luke was still able to hunt vader and then mauler down and still end the game with no damage and full shields.
Pretty powerful combo as im sure it was intended to be , plus it did feel allot like the dog fight in the death star trenches, biggs being murdered by vader, and while luke wasnt shooting at an exhaust port the size of a womp rat, he in this infinities version of the battle exacted his revenge by destroying all in his target range.

Oct 01, 2014 AJ TV Host 0
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a really stunning American TV Host. She is skinny but hot. Her body measurement (bra size, bust, waist, hips) is 34B-24-32. Hesselback was taken from her husband whom she married to in 2002, Tim Hasselbeck.
Talking about her hot skinny body, few years ago after pregnancy, some people rumored that Elisabeth had done her body with some procedures including tummy tuck and liposuction and even a breast lift. But it was still not confirmed. That statement was still just a speculation.
the people was impressed of what she had done. Her body quickly turn back to normal after pregnancy. Was that made by full exercise or plastic surgery ?

Here are some ("Scarlet O'Hara" and "Grandpa Otts") I had on my balcony last summer climbing up a trellis. They hit the ceiling (about 7ft up) and started doubling back down. This is with only a few hours of sun per day that hit that column where they were growing. LOL |
You had to ask! This is my favorite pic of MGs, from the summer of 2002 - The "trellis" was about 8 ft. up; when the trellis stopped, the MGs continued, wrapping around each other for support. I'd guess the vines were about 12-15 feet long ... PV |

Beautiful picture!! |
I woke up to blooms! 4 of them, in all their "glory"! Judging by the number of buds I see around... I think I may have a serious riot of blooms in the next week... I've got mine one fishing line trellis, and they are nearly to the ceiling now... a good 8 feet... last time, they hit the ceiling and travelled another 5 or 6 feet... so they are going to get BIG :0) |

Nice, Ruggy! With your setup, it's going to be glorious out there! I got one "Pearly Gates" bloom this morning - big and beautiful! Now if only the blue picotee will catch up and bloom... What kinds are you growing? PV |
I'm up to about 100 blooms a day now! It's madness! Check out 2004 - 07-10_17 - Morning Glories at my garden gallery... It's hard to take pictures from the balcony, but I do try :0) |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Fishing Line Trellis
Mine grow up an 8 ft lattice wall and keep growing along the top. This year I decided to prune them. I cut the growing tips until I couldn't tell the plants apart. I think the flowers and leaves are bigger this year than ever. Then again, it could be that I've grown fewer in each pot this year too (put lillies in the pots, thought I'd give them lots of room). No MF buds yet, but tons and tons of MGs (Heavenly Blue - my favorite). Can't help but grin ear to ear in the morning looking at them! |

So, I have a couple different Lawn-Boys I am working on. Both need new coils. One is a V and the other is an F(compliance from post '83). The stickers on the deck are long gone... My question is: Is there a difference in all the different coils offered for each? A "V" can use a 684048, 684049, 99-1152, 99-2911, or 99-2916. Is one of these "better" than the others? A compliance "F" can use a 683080, 682702, or 683215. Again, is one "better" than the others? |

Raja Bell's pregame ritual includes downing a cup-and-a-half of coffee and a can of Red Bull. He must have doubled up his caffeine intake Wednesday.
In addition to drawing the usual defensive assignment against Kobe Bryant, Bell scored 23 points, all in the final three quarters of play, to keep the Suns close in the second game of their first-round playoff series with the Lakers. Only he and Steve Nash shot over 50 percent from the floor or scored more than 13 points for the Suns.
"He picked up his intensity and had one of his best games in a long time," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He did a great job on Kobe, and it was by his will and his heart."
Early on, it didn't look as though it would be Bell leading the way.
He missed his first four shots before getting aggressive and finding his shot. With his team trailing by 16 points with 6:08 remaining in the second quarter, Bell hit his first jumper. By the end of the half he had 12 points.
Bell said he had allowed himself to "mope" after going 1-for-7 in the first game of the series then starting out cold Wednesday.
"The way we play, you can't be gun-shy," Bell said. "I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I was (gun-shy). . . . At that point I made a decision to just attack. If I was going to miss, it was going to be attacking. I think that's the way we have to play. I know that's the way I have to play."
Bell is being asked to do more than contribute on the offensive end.
He's also charged with guarding the league's most prolific scorer.
Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game during the regular season, and, even though the Lakers' sudden emphasis on getting the ball into the post has received a lot of attention, he is still gunning to a degree. Bryant has scored 51 points on 19-for-45 (42.2 percent) shooting in the first two games of this series. "Kobe had 24 shots (Wednesday). That's a lot of shots," Bell said. "You treat him the same way. . . . (Whether it's) Kobe shooting 30 (times) or Kobe shooting 18 (times). That's how you have to play him."

Foreclosure is the new "F" word. But the media's love affair with this issue is, in some opinions, overkill. One of Redfin's own bloggers, Brenda Keener, puts forth the idea that the media coverage of the market's downturn in general is more responsible than any other factor for the continued slide. Not everyone agrees (just look at the comments on her blog!). But certainly, whatever your stance on media attention to real estate's meltdown, you have to admit there's room to interpret data differently: either you spin it postively, or you spin it negatively. This is true of foreclosure stats as well.
Witness CNN's article announcing "Foreclosure up 75% in 2007." Among fear inducing stats here:
1. More than 1 percent of all U.S. households were in some stage of foreclosure during 2007, up from 0.58 percent the year before.
2. In California alone, nearly 66,000 people lost their homes last year.
3. California had a total of 250,000 foreclosure filings, the highest number of of any state.
And now for the postive spin. San Francisco Schtuff points out
1. Foreclosures were lower prior to last year, which causes the numbers to appear to be soaring when looked at purely in terms of percentage gains.
2. RealtyTrac reports defaults on loans, not on properties, so one household that defaults on a primary loan and an equity line will be counted as two defaults, even though both loans were for the same house. This could artificially inflate foreclosure statistics.
3. A foreclosure filing includes default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions. One home may fall into each of these categories as it moves through the long foreclosure process. RealtyTrac counts each step along the way separately. This also skews foreclosure statistics.
4. The overwhelming majority of homes are not in danger of foreclosure. If slightly more than 1 percent of U.S. homes were in some stage of foreclosure last year, then 99 percent of homes were not. Although some of the hardest hit communities with high concentrations of defaults are suffering, those communities do not reflect California overall.
One sad side story of foreclosures, impossible to spin positively, highlights some unexpected victims in the process: renters. Along with the frightening increase in Bay Area (specifically SF) rents, renters also face increased evictions when the homes they rent go into foreclosure. SF Gate reported that
As the mortgage crisis claims more homes – more than 11,000 Bay Area residences were repossessed by lenders last year – an increasing number of tenants are facing rapid evictions by banks eager to partially recoup their losses by selling the properties. In November, a Chronicle analysis of Bay Area foreclosures showed that about one-fifth had nonresident owners. Renters have minimal rights in such situations:
Tenants' rights in such situations are minimal. Some cities with rent control include eviction regulations; other cities do not have rent control for single-family residence, so renters here are subject to state law, which generally requires 30 days notice. Worse, a foreclosure usually invalidates an existing lease. Paul Leonard, director of the California office in Oakland for the Center for Responsible Lending said:
"In an already flagging market, the idea that foreclosures displace renters without adequate notice creates a level of upheaval and distress that could be mitigated with more reasonable notice provisions."
Ouch. So, yes, the media seems to like foreclosure stories as much as celebrity babies or weight gain stories. But are these stories made out to worse than they are? Do they actually make things worse than they are? Could things get any worse?
Your thoughts?

We have about 70 young hens 8 months old and they are not laying yet. They have a nice big chicken house to roost in at night and a big yard to run in. We feed them laying mesh and scratch feed. Plus the grass and plants in the yard. I would like to get suggestions as to why they haven't started laying. The Georgia weather has been mild this winter and we put a light in the chicken house at night but it did not help |

They will probably start to lay in the Spring. Expect smaller eggs at first. 8 months is still young for a chicken. Also, mature hens will stop sometimes when it is colder, less light hours...etc. Our hens do not lay in Winter. We feed them scratch only, and gear up in spring with the lay pellets when they start laying, and need more nutrition. Our Turkeys have not laid all winter. Don't worry. They will. |
If they have free run of the yard, maybe they are laying behind some bushes where you don't see the eggs. But I tend to agree with the above poster - they are still a bit on the young side to be laying consistenly. Don't push them - they'll lay eggs for you longer. |
Thanks for the information. Everyone was telling me the chickens should be laying everyday by 6 months old. How long does a chicken usually lay eggs. |
- Posted by treasurificgal z8A CA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 23, 13 at 20:01
We had one chicken that laid for 11 years. She was a new chick we hatched, so I am sure she was about 12 years old when she died. Later on her laying tapered off, and wasn't everyday, but she still surprised me every once in a while with a green egg. She was one of the only americaunas that we had, so I was sure it was her. We had two dogs come in the yard and killed every chicken except for her, hence the name "Lucky". I will miss her. |
I will let you know when they start laying, I hope it's soon, LOL |
Hens will stop laying during the darkest months of the year. If they are laying and they are a good winter variety- they should start laying an egg here and there right now. |

I had an Aracauna for 13 years too! Man was she sweet! She helped brood several batches of meat birds like her own. I will miss her dearly! On to the subject- And, final trick- give them sprouted grains cause their eggs will be extra nutrient dense. There are several sprouting grains books on the link below, but if you "outta this world" awesome eggs, feed them sprouted grains like they would get in springtime..... And it costs 75% less than store-bought feed. |
