The Economist on Aug 13, opines we are drowning in it, which implies lower prices. In contrast, FT of Aug 19, says a hedge fund manager has bought options for last quarter 2009, at $ 10
The removal of contaminants like CO2 and H2S are a giant expense on the part of the refiners. Once technologies like the SWAP break into the mainstream, the economics of hydrocarbon refining could become dramatically more favorable.
Why America is moving towards getting 100% of it's baseload from Nuclear is beyond me.
The real advantage to America in it's use of coal is that there's basically a limitless supply of coal in America.
P.S.: STOP BURNING COAL! To paraphrase, it's a nasty and brutish fuel that, apart from the climate change nonsense, ensures many lives are short.
For transportation, you could use either LNG (a bit tricky to handle, but not nearly as bad as hydrogen), or convert the gas into methanol, which should burn fine as M85 in today's 'flex-fuel' vehicles.
In the shorter term, until electrical storage gets much better, a Volt-type plug-in series hybrid using a small turbine burning either LNG or M85 to drive the generator should provide both extended range and very low fuel consumption/emissions we in North America are looking for.
Last week, the Economist UK edition cover highlighted a typical UK catastrophic thinking story on our lights going out based in large part on a shortage of gas!
I posted then that shale gas would inevitably rescue us here in Europe, as my site www.nohotair.co.uk has been saying for over a year. The lead author of the Potential Gas Committee report confirmed to us that not only is it geologically possible,but that Hungary and Poland,in the front line against Gazprom are two of the most likely plays.
What needs to happen now is for UK and EU energy experts to move their thinking, which on past performance makes hydrofracturing look easy!
Even though three years ago Russian Gazprom and China National Petroleam Co concluded an agreement to supply 40 bill cu.m. annually by 2011 via a new 6,000 km long gas pipeline to China to be built at the cost then estimated at some US$13 bill, no agreement has been reached on pricing and none is likely in the foreseable future. That project appears to have been put on the back burner (or a dead file).
China insists on paying spot prices reflecting future applicable coal prices, while Russia wants firm long term contracts tied to European gas prices. China clearly doesn't want to be as dependent on Russian energy supply as some EU countries are and will play Russian Gazprom against LNG supplies from other sources.
Can't we use methane to heat up homes or BBQ grills (we do use propane)?
Cummins Diesel is already producing LNG truck cabs that meet 2011 EPA requirements and cost less than their diesel counterparts. The Gas Research Institute has built demonstration plants that produce 10% LNG at the expansion point between gas pipelines and gas distribution systems with no energy input required.
It is just a matter of time until most trucks, trains and ships are converted to run on LNG.
How about starting with the I10 corridor between Los Angeles and Phoenix?
The article gives but a 'minimalist' picture of the natural gas market. Gas abounds, and not just in North America. Reserves have been revised upwards in many other parts of the world - African nations, the Gulf, and even SE Asia, despite the moderation in prices. But that is not the point. The point is that the notion of 'reserves', as implied in the article, is incorrect, even grossly misleading. Economically-recoverable reserves are defined contingent on the marginal cost of extraction. Much larger reserves obtain at higher marginal costs. Advances in exploration and production technology and regulatory (ESH) requirements determine how costs vary across different gas fields, and thus determine their position in the 'market supply curve' in any given price environment at any given point in time. Ill-timed changes in the definition of reserves over time (as occurred a few years back) can influence prices, fuel choice and investments in upstream and downstream industries and potentially even skew a nation's energy policy.
I suspect the supply curve for natural gas - globally and over the long run - is very elastic. This implies large increases in production can be sustained for modest price increases. Given gas has an environmental edge over coal and oil, and in the context of the impending climate change catastrophe, (and the economic doldrums through which many economies are passing), it'd perhaps be appropriate to set stringent carbon emission reduction goals at Copenhangen even while permitting a 'low interest rate - expansionary monetary policy'. Such a policy would promote gas-based and climate-friendly global economic growth (base-load economics notwithstanding! Welcome to KG-D6!).
These revised estimates for America's natural gas reserves will no doubt come as welcome news for the nation's Great Gamers. Keep building the LNG terminals, they'll say, only now they can be used for export rather than import.
Maybe this is the missing source of gas they need to launch their pet project - Nabucco. If so, it would be a double win, bringing in some revenue and helping the Europeans poke the Russians in the eye at the same time!
It was the 1990's UK "dash for gas" that today accounts for the majority of our world beating GHG reductions. A good idea that gave us cheaper electricity as well!
This revision of US gas reserves is also a salutary tale for Malthusians, peak oilsters in particular. Get this, stuff changes!! As the world is indeed awash with hydrocarbons the only question is at what price supply will equal demand. With technology confounding those that draw straight lines (or Hubbert curves) into the future again and again isn't it rational to expect things you don't yet know to happen? For example the Hubbert Curve reflects the application of technology applied at the time to geology. What might change there then? Oil recovery from known fields is from 30% to 50% of oil in place when Hubberts curve says its all gone you know. Maybe someone will have a good idea?
As for transport, hybrid electric (new nanotech Li-On 10 minute charge batteries recently caught my eye) and CNG for "overtaking" and reserve when your batteries run out would seem far to obvious. Something no one yet knows seems much more likely to be the solution we use.
Scary isn't it. We must, as we always have, trust in our own ingenuity!
Natural gas is the cleanest of hydrocarbon fuels and a valuable feedstock for numerous petro-chemicals. A potential issue with the production is the necessary fracking of the rock which seems to be resulting in increasing methane detections in nearby water wells (e.g. Garfield County, Colorado). Methane is not toxic, but it is explosive at high concentrations, and intrinsic bio-degradation of methane in groundwater will create other water quality problems such as iron and hydrogen sulphide.
As there is no obvious way to remediate this type of groundwater contamination, this will lead to conflicts between affected water well owners (e.g. farmers) and natural gas producers.
As Spongebob says, Good Luck With That.
Coal power plants take much longer to heat up than gas power plants, so coal can really only be used for base load. That's not to say that natural gas couldn't be used for base load, but coal can't be used for variable load.
Gas is well suited for the same speed reasons to balance the variable output of wind and solar plants.
Ethylene and propylene, the starting point of most bulk polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene, pvc, etc.) is most easily derived from natural gas. It would be a shame to waste natural gas, useful in so many ways, on base load generation. Raising the gas price by creating demand for it for power generation makes bulk commodity chemical manufacture in North America uneconomic. If we continue to have the most expensive gas in the world, in 20 years all of the bulk commodity chemicals in the world will be made in the Persian gulf.
I completely agree with Hefner. America has an abundance of natural gas and its a clean domestic energy source. We don't have to send billions overseas. PHEVs and EVs will be great for the sedan/cross-over market but a battery cannot power a truck, bus, semi-truck, or school bus. Enter Natural Gas - most all major manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles offer natural gas models already. Add compression/dispensers to the millions of miles of pipelines across the US and you've got your fueling. Not only are the emissions much cleaner but moving fuel via pipeline reduces the carbon-footprint of delivering fuel to be almost nothing. Natural gas is a clean American energy answer.

The text on the card:
"Special Rules: Place a door token on the first map tile's exit. This door leads to level 3. Level 3 cannot be explored from any other door.
Flip When: A player activates Location 13B's equipment(found in level 3.)"
The problem is: Level 3 is a "locked" level. This means you can't enter it until you find the key, which (according to the text on the card) is found BEHIND the locked door of level 3.
However, when you explore Level 2, you'll realize this mission setup card should refer to 12B, which is where the "unlock" card can be found.

This week's show is all about reaching your audience and the kind of strategies we can use to improve the way we communicate.
So many of us that work with content marketing lose sight of who our target audience is and what makes them unique. We also struggle to find ways to communicate effectively with them. Sometimes I think you need to step back and just go through the simple things.
In the show I look at some of the things I personally find useful. For example, we can do research online to track down not just the problems our target audience go online to solve, but also the kind of language they use to talk about them. The product reviews on Amazon are a great insight into different segments. For example, if you're selling products that someone like Amazon sells you should definitely be trying to learn as much as possible from your target audience and what they reveal about themselves on the site.
My favourite anecdote from the show though has to be a client of ours who we recently persuaded to try Olark – the chat service that we use on this site. Through Olark they were able to talk directly with visitors to their site and remove some of the friction that was deterring people from purchasing.

The 3rd scenario for the Arkham League |
Arkham Horror | Published 11 March 2009 |
The disappearance of both Calvin's wife and Jenny's sister has been driving these two investigators forward. Now a mysterious cult is rising in Arkham, its members calling themselves Children of the Goat. This week's scenario features the Black Goat of the Woods expansion and parts of the Dunwich Horror expansion. Shub's power continues to swell, and all the investigators will be forced to make some big decisions.
Make the decision with Chapter 3 (pdf, 160 kb)
Still in to help is Calvin (png, 715 kb)
Cultists move along the black arrows.
No herald.
Clue tokens are leftovers from scenario 2.
The lack of clue tokens at the start of the game (aside from the bank option) is killing me. I've already lost twice (three times if you count when I didn't know better than to use the herald).
How are are people handling the cultists moving every turn?
So... how do we win? Do we play until the god wakes up and then fight it? Also, who's the GOO?
whelp, I will need to wait to get BGotW until I get paid next week.
I'll have to wait til i get DGoW to play throught. And i did get CoDP last week as I thought it might be need. :(
I do wonder however:
THe setup metions add Unique items from DH, and say nothing about adding common items. Mark has a flamethrow and molotov cocktail listed as his satrting items, bith of which are DH common items (which are not added to the game.
I'm guess that those he still gets those, while no other DH common items are added to game, right?
I am also confused on the clue tokens and the herald. Had not even thought of the cultists but that is a good question also.
Wow, that's some disappointment - it's only the third chapter and I already have to own the BGotW expansion?
At least in the first league I could participate in the first six chapters.
Can we assume that the "...clue tokens you wish to keep..." are the left-overs from Scenario 2?
Also, when the cultists move, on what arrow do they move ?
If we add all of the Black Goat of the Woods, do we play with the Herald?

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ( ARE ), a real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently increased its quarterly dividend from 51 cents to 53 cents per share. This translates into a 4.0% increase from the prior dividend payout. The dividend is payable on October 15, 2012 to shareholders of record on September 28. As of June 30, 2012, the company's funds from operations payout ratio (quarterly common stock dividend divided by quarterly funds from operations), was 49%. Alexandria Real Estate increased its quarterly dividend per share by 8 cents or approximately 18% over the past 15 months. At the end of second quarter 2012, Alexandria Real Estate had cash and cash equivalents of $80.9 million. The company expects to distribute its excess cash to the shareholders through increased dividend. We believe that the company has enough cash to provide optimum shareholder value. A steady dividend payout facilitates the long-term strategy of Alexandria Real Estate to provide risk-adjusted returns to its shareholders. Solid dividend payouts are arguably the best enticement for REIT investors as U.S. laws require REITs to distribute 90% of its annual taxable income in the form of dividends to shareholders. Pasadena, California-based Alexandria Real Estate is a leading life science real estate company, focused principally on science-driven cluster development through the ownership, operation, management and selective acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties containing life science laboratory space. Alexandria Real Estate currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. We also have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock. One of its competitors, Liberty Property Trust ( LRY ) also holds a Zacks #3 Rank. Note: Funds from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income.

Perdomo Exhibicion Maduro Churchill
My first Perdomo, I smoked 2 of those, totally tasteless and flavorless. Not sure if this is meant to be a low end Perdomo or not as I have heard lots of good things about the brand and Nick.
Zak in Ny June 24, 2013
"Excellent Cigar at any price."
Perdomo Exhibicion Connecticut Double Robusto
I tried one at the shop owners suggestion where I buy my cigars and hang out and fell in love with it. I have had roughy 37 of them now and I find they are a very consistant all around cigar. a little nutty in flavor but smooth and silky even to the finish which on these I smoke to my fingers and then some. Awesome Cigar.
greg in winder georgia September 21, 2012
"Nothing Special."
First let me say that I am a novice cigar smoker at this point, so please bear this in mind. I purchased this cigar as part of a mild sampler pack. The cigar was cellophane wrapped and I did not age it.
The cigar cut and lit easily. The draw was easy but not too light. It appeared to be well made but the burn was uneven and got worse after the ash fell. The ash did hold quite a while before dropping. The taste just had nothing behind it. Too mild for me. The smell was nice and not offensive to my family.
Overall it was an OK smoke. Definitely mild. As far as the uneven burn, I only had one so I may have just gotten one that turned out to be the bad apple. I will pass on these in the future. Primarily because it just didnt do anything for me.

Ronald J. Glasser, MD, is the author of the bestselling 365 Days, an account of his experiences as an army doctor during the Vietnam War as well as the novels Another, Another Peace and Ward 402.
From the author of 365 Days comes a poignant, personally inspired tale of a rookie doctor fighting for the life of a desperately ill young girl—a story that grows ever more relevant in this world of increasingly sophisticated and technical medical care
In this riveting and passionately rendered novel, an intern faces the harsh realities of his profession, and the overwhelming highs and lows for which medical school was unable to prepare him.
The call comes at three in the morning, ordering the intern to handle a new admission at the pediatric ward of the university hospital. He finds eleven-year-old Mary Berquam, diagnosed with advanced leukemia. The doctors think they might be able to give her drug therapies and put her in remission, but her parents know Mary's disease is fatal and they want to keep her comfortable rather than put her through painful treatments. The young intern must confront what it means to follow the conventions of his job versus the calling of his conscience.

DealBurner was created by Jason Fertel after he and his two co-founders decided to abandon their group-texting start-up Freespeech, which seemed doomed despite sending half a million texts a day just because there were so many bigger start-ups doing the same thing. Both CityPockets CEO Cheryl Yeoh and Mr. Fertel worked out of the Soho co-working space WeWork Labs, which has seen companies formed, funded by angel investors and accepted into incubators since it opened in April.
Betabeat caught up with Ms. Yeoh to ask about plans for DealBurner. Read More

Did Dunkerdale or the CEOs of NL Power, Hydro and Nalcorhave to endure lack of power in their homes? Were they part of the Blackout... IS the premier able to answer that question?

People stop all your whining and complaining. No one person is responsible for this little blip in life. Life is not perfect . It has it's ups and downs. In a crisis everyone should pull together not point fingers. Next time be a little more prepared. I was without power so I switched to my emergency supply. I had lots of food and fuel on hand and now life is back to normal. The people who work to maintain our hydro supply are the experts who are highly trained and paid . The politicians take rely on their expertise to make the best decisions on our behalf to keep the hydro flowing . Give the Premier some slack. She didn't cause the hydro outage, nature did.

This was not caused by the weather. It was caused by the PC's decisions in 2010 to curtail the previously planned maintenance and upgrades to the generation systems because Muskrat Falls was given the preliminary go ahead. It was stated early on that it was a generation issue not a weather issue

To expect anything like a heartfelt apology or with few high-level resignations is beyond dreaming in this place. But for Dunderdale to try to spin this fiasco, which has indirectly led to people's deaths, into an adverttsement for Muskrat Falls is unconscionable. The arrogance would make Hitler a fan.

What Dunderdale fails to realize is that Muskrat Falls will not replace all the power that's currently generated using gas / diesel generators here on the island. It will do very little to curtail this crisis we are finding ourselves in as a province. Where was she when all this started? On vacation and out of the province but when asked point blank about it, she brushed off the comments. No shame on being on vacation Madam Premier, it is a shame when you ignore what the people are saying to you and have been saying to you for the last 2 years. You are criticizing the Liberals and the NDP yet your government has done nothing to show what you will do to ensure that the province has electricity well into the future. Muskrat Falls will provide for approximately 20% of the islands needs, where are the other 80% coming from? Answer that one!

Nalcor has said repeatedly that our recent peak demand was 35% higher than our 5-year average. To see how that statement compares with Nalcor's actual peak demand numbers from 2002 to 2013, go to www.vision2041.com

Interesting in that the same people who get all 'puffed' up in their importance / development of MF, take no responsibility for their failure to avoid the debacle of the last 4-5 days. SHAME!

The opposition are not contradicting their stance on Muskrat Falls (which is expected to increase generation capacity in 2017). They're asking why the reduced generation capacity existed this week, and what can be done to mitigate this issue today. Completely unrelated to Muskrat Falls.

So easy to condemn others when we didnt take any responsibility ourselves with being ready for a power outage. It is so stupid to blame this on the Premier! I guess shes responsible for the ice in the Strait of Belle Isle too and the impending rain and freezing temperatures after. Again...WE LIVE ON AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC. We need to prepare ourselves too.

She lied to us. People have died because of her lies and incompetence. She needs to be removed from office.
- Ken Collis
- January 07, 2014 - 08:42
Yet again she uses everyones misery to promote Muskrat Falls. She truely does believe we are all stupid. This whole problem is due to Nalcor and Government deciding to put money into Muskrat Falls INSTEAD of keeping our infastructure up and running. For her to announce to the whole world that she has FULL confidence in Ed Martin and Nalcor tells us a lot about either how stupid she is on this topic, or how stupid she must think we are. Due to a major flaw in our political system Dunderdale can't be fired until 2015, but Martin should get the door today. People have needlessly died or left homeless over this for God's sake.

What's worse than the power outages is this constant barrage of public complaining. Generally, I haven't been a supporter of this government but in this situation what exactly would you have had Dunderdale do? Go out on the poles herself? People are just looking for someone to blame and she's the easiest target.
- Kent
- January 07, 2014 - 07:09
Dunderdale doesn't have a clue.. Hydro and NL Power employees are going full-tilt and she shows up with her entourage looking for a photo-op. Get out of the way and let these people do their job... It seems the only who will still be in the dark after all this is over is Dunderdale.
- January 07, 2014 - 08:38
Did Premier Dunderdale visit any of the warming centre's for photo ops????
- Kent
- January 07, 2014 - 17:49
No because she wouldn't have the nerve to show her face
- Epic Fail
- January 07, 2014 - 07:06
Dunderdale needed to visit the crews at holyrood and sunnyside where the problems were not st johns she only did that with media in tow to get clear of the negative publicity which failed we need someone who cares more about this province in its current state.

Bit late now to show your face Kathy. Where we're you all weekend ? But I suppose, as you said, there is no crisis.

iAntiVirus is a free app that will scan for Mac-specific viruses and malicious software, both on your hard-drive and during real-time Web browsing.
iAntiVirus is a free app that will scan for Mac-specific viruses and malicious software, both on your hard-drive and during real-time Web browsing. You access iAntiVirus through a menu bar icon, and the app can scan your Mac for current infections, with either a Quick Scan, a Normal Scan (longer but still relatively quick), or a Custom Scan of specific areas. You can set iAntiVirus to protect your Mac in the background (with a relatively modest resource footprint), and you can also schedule both scans and app updates every week, every day, or every other day, to make sure that you're protecting your computer using the most current virus definitions. Some anti-virus applications will scan for PC-specific threats as well (to make sure you're not passing on malicious software to PC users you interact with), but iAntiVirus is able to maintain a lower profile on your system by focusing on Mac threats only.
Arguably, the best anti-virus software for the Mac is already on your machine: the Mac OS itself, with its secure, Unix-based architecture and relative obscurity compared to Windows. There has never been a major virus or malicious software outbreak for OS X, so any antivirus app is of questionable usefulness--but iAntiVirus can provide some free peace of mind for anyone worried about future threats.

I don't know if I have the right forum for this, but it seemed more logical than the others, so here goes...I hope there are some creative minds here that will help me out!
My husband remembers the day/date of our first date and has commented several times over the years how special that day was/is to him. He's even talked of getting a personalized licence plate with the date on it. (awwwww) We've been married almost 5 yrs now, going about 8 since that first date. The other day I came across the make-shift memory box I threw together years ago. It was in a drawer I rarely get into and it's been a few years since I looked so I decided to take a little trip down memory lane. Inside I found the "customer copy" of the reciept of when he took me to dinner that first date. He must have slipped it in there way back when and I had forgotten it was there. I ran across it once before and wondered what I could do with it to turn it into something to display. A gift to him. Something for his desk maybe..or night stand. I try to get him something sentimental but after awhile, you just run out of ideas! Anyway, I swear I asked on one of these boards before but never recall getting any responses (I might be dreaming that though!) So here I am at Christmas and at a loss for the "something sentimental". Any ideas? It's just a small register receipt, maybe 3" tall...I think it might even be the yellow carbon copy.. I've thought of a simple mat and frame but that's obvious and I was hoping there maybe something more creative...I'm just not very good in that area. I wanted it to be special. I had a friend one time take one of my baby photos and have it etched in metal of some sort, That was so many years ago, but I still have it and look at it fondly and remember him (I havent seen him in about 20 years now, but that gift keeps on giving!)..I wonder if that can be done with the receipt... Hmmmmm Anyway, any ideas are appreciated! TIA!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think if it were me I would turn it into a key chain. This seller on ETSY is really good. A friend sent her a picture of my grandson and she turned it into a keychain and it is just beautiful. She probably could scan the receipt and do something like this with it. Here is a link the her Etsy store so you can see what kinds of things she does. I've seen some of her other work and it is very very good. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Charming Elements
You can do it yourself. You need a domino and then scan you image. Size it in a card program Print it on tissue paper (to run through the printer you must tape the tissue paper to cardstock) Spray with a krylon clear spray (to keep the ink from running) cut out your image and adhear with mod podge -several coat. Before you start-drill a hole and put in your pin at the end to attach to a key ring. Good Luck |
What a cute idea, and it looks like she does a wonderful job ~ (thanks too for the instructions Connie...I appreciate it but I don't have the supplies on hand and sadly,I lack talent!) I bet your instructions will help someone though! I'm not sure he would "use" a keychain and she isn't doing anything custom until after Christmas anyway... I could save the idea for an anniversary of that date and think of something else she could make out of it. Oh, I wonder if my local Craft Warehouse or Michaels does anything like that.....? Thanks so much for responding! |

I wish I had seen this before....I think it would be awesome to make it into an ornament...copy it, print it onto a transparency, and roll it up and stick it in a clear glass ball |

Hello, I would make a mixed media small collage with it. Good luck. Gabriela |

My abiding interest is in nineteenth-century American literature and culture. In my first book I examined the uses to which Ralph Waldo Emerson was put by cultural critics during the century following his death. My next book was a group biography of American writers during the Civil War. Currently I am at work on a study that examines the way Darwin's On the Origin of Species was received by a cluster of American intellectuals in the year before the Civil War began.

Oklahoma Joe's BBQ is one of the best BBQ restaurants in Kansas City. No questions asked! Their barbecue has roots to one of USA's top barbecue competition teams named the Slaughterhouse Five. It is the ideal place for any BBQ lover because of their unforgettable smoky flavors and exciting spices.
To start things off, Oklahoma Joe's has a great ambience (try a gas station turned BBQ Pit), great service and great food to top it all. But I must warn you, if you go during peak lunch and dinner times you might be waiting outside the door in a 30 minute line. This place has really caught on locally and throughout the Midwest! We have even heard of people from the coasts stopping in to try this barbeque with broad appeal.
Oklahoma Joe's menu is written out on a chalk board for you to review while you wait in line. They pretty much have any BBQ item you might want to try, with some pretty funny names to keep it fun. Your best bet is to go with their specialty sandwich called The Z-Man Sandwich. I recommend you include a side of their outstanding French Fries. The Z-Man includes their brisket, smoked provolone cheese, and 2 onion rings on a kaiser bun. The fries are a little spicy and taste great with any of their famous in-house BBQ sauces. While the Z-Man and Fries combo may be one of the best BBQ experiences you will find in Kansas City, you will not be disappointed if you order their excellent house specialty Pulled Pork Sandwich.
The price for a meal will run you from $8 to $15 and it is well worth it for this multiple award winning BBQ. Honestly, this BBQ is so good it is worth every penny and more. As a Kansas City native and BBQ lover, I try to make a stop at Oklahoma Joe's BBQ about once a week. I recommend Oklahoma Joe's to you without question!

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 In those days John Baptist came, and preached in the desert of Judaea, [In those days came John Baptist, preaching in the desert of Judaea,] | 1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea |
2 and said, Do ye penance, for the kingdom of heavens shall approach. [+saying, Do ye penance, for the kingdom of heaven shall nigh.] | 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." |
3 For this is he, of whom it is said by Esaias, the prophet, saying, A voice of a crier in desert, Make ye ready the ways of the Lord; make ye right the paths of him. [+Forsooth this is he, of whom it is said by Esaias, saying, A voice of a man crying in desert, Make ye ready the way of the Lord; make ye rightful the paths of him.] | 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' " |
4 And this John [Forsooth that same John] had clothing of camel's hairs, and a girdle of skin about his loins; and his meat was honeysuckles [soothly his meat was locusts], and honey of the wood. | 4 John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. |
5 Then Jerusalem went out to him, and all Judaea, and all the country about Jordan; | 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. |
6 and they were washed of him in Jordan [and were christened of him in Jordan], acknowledging their sins. | 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. |
7 But he saw many of the Pharisees and of Sadducees coming to his baptism, and said to them, Generation of adders, who showed to you to flee from the wrath that is to come? [Soothly he seeing many of Pharisees and of Sadducees coming to his baptism, said to them, Generations of adders, who showed to you to flee from wrath to come?] | 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? |
8 Therefore do ye worthy fruits of penance, | 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. |
9 and do not ye say within you, We have Abraham to our father; for I say to you, that God is mighty to raise up of these stones the sons of Abraham. | 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. |
10 And now the ax is put to the root of the tree; therefore every tree that maketh not good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. | 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. |
11 I wash you in water [Soothly I christen you in water], into penance; but he that shall come after me is stronger than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you [he shall baptize, or christen, you] in the Holy Ghost and [in] fire. | 11 "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. |
12 Whose winnowing cloth is in his hand, and he shall fully cleanse his corn floor, and shall gather his wheat into his barn; but the chaff he shall burn with fire that may not be quenched. [+Whose winnowing cloth, or fan, in his hand, and he shall fully cleanse his floor, and shall gather his wheat into his barn; but chaffs he shall burn with fire unquenchable, or that never shall be quenched.] | 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." |
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee into Jordan to John, to be baptized of him [to be christened of him]. | 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. |
14 And John forbade him, and said, I owe to be baptized of thee, and thou comest to me? [Soothly John forbade him, saying, I owe to be christened of thee, and comest thou to me?] | 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" |
15 But Jesus answered, and said to him, Suffer now, for thus it falleth to us to fulfill all rightwiseness [Forsooth Jesus answering said to him, Suffer now, for so it becometh us to fulfill all rightwiseness]. Then John suffered him. | 15 Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. |
16 And when Jesus was baptized, at once he went up from the water [Forsooth Jesus christened ascended up anon from the water]; and lo! heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove, and coming on him [and coming upon him]; | 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. |
17 and lo! a voice from heaven, saying, This is my loved Son [and lo! a voice from heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son], in which I have well pleased to me. | 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." |

One more thing you can bring to your In-laws (that they'll especially dig if they're oenophiles) for Thanksgiving is the Vinturi Wine Aerator. Pour your vino through the top and it adds the perfect amount of air, making the wine taste better, which gives you a perfectly good excuse to get blind drunk and rattle off bawdy, inappropriate anecdotes.
If you hurry, you can order it online for express delivery at the In-laws by tomorrow. (There's a karmic trade-off though--you will help ruin the UPS driver's day by giving him yet another package he has to deliver before he can make it back to his family.)

A Securely Attached Baby and a Restful Nights Sleep Just a Dream?
Publication of two new Australian books has brought babies' sleep into the spotlight. But how do babies sleep and what choices do parents have?
There are two main opposing theories in the world of babies and sleeping. On the one hand is the belief that older babies and toddlers need to wake several times at night for nutritional reasons. Parents (usually mothers) are encouraged to accept and enjoy frequent night waking for the first year or two. With baby in the bed with them, this is perceived as being easy. On the other hand, controlled crying is based on the belief that babies need to learn to sleep alone from a young age, by being left alone to cry for successively longer periods. Controlled crying advocates say that this prevents later sleep problems, and lessens post-natal depression.
In between these two main perspectives, parents may find particular sleep strategies for their babies, which may involve jiggling and rocking to sleep, dummies, or encouraging thumb sucking, or clutching or sucking a blanket or a soft toy.
Most parents see these two main options as their only ones – either put up with frequent waking, or leave the baby to cry alone. Not surprisingly, this can be a difficult choice, and distraught parents often turn to controlled crying because they are desperate for sleep. Jenny, a mother of two, was exhausted waking every hour to feed her 15-month-old. Thinking here was no other way, she tried controlled crying for a few nights but felt very distressed listening to her son cry alone. She thought there was no other way.
Like many parents, she was heartened to hear that another approach offers restful sleep and secure attachment; a way to ensure a night's sleep without leaving a baby alone to cry. This is called Aware Parenting, and rests on the central premise that babies are sensitive beings who are acutely affected by what happens to them (in the womb; during birth; and after birth, by unmet needs, over-stimulation, frightening events, and developmental frustration). Babies are also born with an inbuilt ability to release such stresses. Not by "comforting" with rocking and singing, nor by being left alone to cry, but by crying whilst being held in loving arms. Within this framework, all babies need to express their feelings, (even those whose every immediate need is met).
Four days after Jenny stopped feeding her son to sleep and instead sat with him whilst he cried, he slept through the night for the first time.
A baby can heal from stress, and he can also learn to repress this healing mechanism. When a baby needs to let out his feelings of distress but is prevented from doing so, he soon learns to distract himself using the same method his parents use. When upset, he will search for the breast or bottle, will suck his thumb or dummy, will clutch onto something, or will move or seem to need entertaining. These actions appear to be what the baby really needs, but are generally accompanied by a "spaced out" or vacant look.
These habitual ways of repressing feelings are called control patterns, and are a way of understanding frequent night waking. When a baby acquires a control pattern, he represses his feelings frequently during the day and night. Although he does not cry, he is not happy during these moments, but in a state of dissociation. With time, and as more stressful events are experienced, the tension in his body and psyche accumulate.
With feeding, rocking, and singing, the baby moves into a lulled state enough to fall asleep, despite inner tension. Endorphins are produced by a baby's brain when he sucks. This means that after breast-feeding, vigorous movement and regurgitation are prevented. However, when he re-enters light sleep, his tension enters the fore again and he wakes up. This is one explanation for why a baby fed, rocked, or sung to sleep wakes up more often at night as he gets older. Even though his stomach is bigger and can hold more milk, he wakes more frequently as the store of feelings accumulates. As an older child, he may tend to eat when upset (if fed to sleep), move a lot when stressed (if rocked to sleep), or seem to need constant entertainment (if sung to sleep). Like Jenny, many parents come to Aware Parenting when their toddlers are waking every hour or two at night, or sucking on the breast for much of the night.
With controlled crying, the baby is left alone. He experiences extreme stress, particularly if very young, because he has no concept of time and no understanding that the experience will ever end or that his parents will ever come. First he cries out, as part of the stress response, with an increased heartbeat, and the production of adrenaline and cortisol. After a period of time, where there is no escape from the situation or the pain, dissociation kicks in. He dissociates both from feelings that emerge from being left alone, as well as from any feelings that he was already experiencing. He does this through clutching onto something, such as a blanket or stuffed toy, or sucking on something, like his thumb. His heart rate and blood pressure go down, and endorphins are produced, nature's painkillers, which reduce emotional and physical pain. Eventually, the baby stops crying and becomes still, apart from sucking or clutching something. From the outside, it may look like he is feeling calm and has learnt to be independent, but a closer look at the vacant look in his eyes indicates a baby who has dissociated. Like a baby in an orphanage who never cries but lies alone in a cot, or a prehistoric baby about to be found by a predator, this response is adaptive because it protects him from pain. However, it is likely to result in latter difficulties such as nightmares or night terrors, fear of the dark, bed-wetting, and insecure attachment. Other symptoms related to dissociation include withdrawal, head banging, self-rocking, emotional non-reactivity, and regression. Although advocates of this method say that babies sleep through the night, it is more likely that the baby wakes several times at night when his feelings arise, but has learnt there is no point to calling out for help, and will continue his clutching or sucking until he goes back to sleep again.
With Aware Parenting, a parent learns that releasing stress is an important need for her baby, which she can help him with by simply holding him in her loving arms. No longer looking for all opportunities to stop any crying, she aims to differentiate between hunger, physical discomfort, the need for learning/play, and a need to release. When her baby is upset but has recently been fed, is being held, is a comfortable temperature, and has a comfortable digestive system, she holds him in her arms. The crying he does is healing, because the closeness gives emotional safety, catecholamines are excreted in his tears, and the movement releases associated physical tension. Afterwards his body is relaxed and he is calm. Unlike the dissociated baby, he makes eye contact and is very present. When he shows signs of tiredness, such as yawning, rubbing eyes, or cuddling up, his parents simply hold him. If already calm, he will fall asleep, and if he has some tension to release, he will cry in arms and then fall asleep. With a relaxed body, he simply wakes when he has had enough sleep, or when he is hungry. In practical terms, this means that by six months of age, most babies brought up in this way will wake once at night to feed or will sleep through. When parents are practising Elimination Communication, the baby may stir at night when he needs to eliminate, and once given the opportunity, will fall straight back to sleep simply with closeness.
Having practised classical attachment parenting with my daughter for the first three months of her life, and Aware Parenting from then onwards, I experienced some of the differences between these two styles of parenting. At first, I would feed her very frequently, particularly before sleep, unless I was bouncing her on my lap to sleep. She fed many times, and also vomited many times a day. She never came close to crying. I enjoyed this at the time, and would have continued to use that method had I thought it was most optimal for her needs. When I started Aware Parenting, she regained her ability to sleep in my arms without rocking or feeding, and slept more peacefully and for longer periods. Most of all, after each cry she would gaze into my eyes with a look of Buddha-like presence.
With my son, I started Aware Parenting from the beginning. Now nine months old, he wakes once at night or sleeps through, depending on when his last feed was, and how much stimulation and crying in arms he has experienced that day. (He also often stirs once when he needs to wee, so I wake up to put his little potty under him). When he has cried in my arms less for a few days, his smiles get smaller and less frequent, he makes less eye contact, and his little hands clench sometimes when he is feeding. When he has "caught up" with his crying in arms, his smiles light up his whole face and are offered many times a day, and he gazes in my eyes for long periods. His hands are relaxed, and his sleep is restful.
It is never to late to start Aware Parenting. Babies, toddlers and children can begin to heal from stress – for babies this is through crying in arms, for toddlers and young children, crying, tantrums, play and laughter are all methods of healing. The less tension a baby or child holds in his body, the more calmly he sleeps, as do his parents. So restful sleep for both isn't just a dream after all!
Three different ways of looking at crying
From a classical attachment parenting perspective, a baby will never need to cry because his parents will read his cues before he gets to the point of crying. Here, all crying means an unmet need. If a baby is crying and the parents cannot stop him by feeding, rocking, or wearing in a sling, he is said to have colic or to be a "high-need baby".
From the controlled crying lens, crying is an unnecessary habit. From this viewpoint, the baby is trained out of his crying and so learns to be independent.
From an Aware Parenting point of view, there are two reasons for crying; the first is to communicate an immediate need; the second is to release stress – but only when held in loving arms. When a baby is given the opportunity to heal in this way, he is relaxed both day and night.
Does a baby need closeness when he goes to sleep?
According to classical attachment parenting, yes – the methods to get a baby to sleep involve closeness – breastfeeding, rocking, or walking in a sling.
In the context of controlled crying, no – babies need to learn to self-soothe and become independent from a very early age, otherwise they will never learn.
From an Aware Parenting perspective, a baby simply needs closeness to get to sleep. If he is "up to date" with his healing from stress, he will fall asleep when tired without feeding, jiggling, or rocking. If he is tired and is upset, this means he has some healing to do; and once he has done this, he will fall into a calm sleep. Babies need closeness, and they sleep for longer if they have this need met, so co-sleeping is recommended.
How often do babies need to feed?
In classical attachment parenting, babies' nutritional needs are compared to other primates whose young are carried. The milk is said to be low calorie, requiring short feeding intervals.
The controlled crying advocates say that once a baby has slept a certain length of time at night without needing a feed, he can sleep at least that length of time from then onwards.
Aware Parenting's founder, Aletha Solter, has this to say about frequency of feedings, "The anthropological data indicates that each indigenous culture has adapted its nursing pattern to the climate and the mother's work schedule. There is no reason to assume that this was any different in the past. The reality is that human infants can thrive whether they are nursed frequently or at intervals of several hours. Claims that the "natural" feeding pattern of human infants is similar to that of other primates are not convincing to me because other primates have completely different nutritional needs. Unlike human infants, they must use considerable energy to cling to their mothers. On the other hand, human infants are busy completing their brain development during the first year after birth. The myelination of the nerve cells requires a diet rich in fat, so it's good for human infants to get the hind milk (which is high in fat and also takes longer to digest, as stated above). Therefore, longer, fuller, and less frequent feedings enhance the brain development of human infants better than short, frequent feedings." (2006, personal communication).
With Aware Parenting, mothers are encouraged to look for hunger cues and to distinguish them from cues that indicate the need for stress-release. Feeding on both breasts at each feed makes this process easier. With increasing age, the time between feeds usually increases, although very hot weather and growth spurts will affect this.

A student establishes eligibility by submitting the appropriate written documentation to the office of Student Disability Services (SDS).
Reasonable accommodations are determined through individualized interview with the student as well as diagnostic data and recommendations contained within the documentation. Students who wish to request accommodations must give written permission for SDS to inform professors and other relevant university personnel that he/she is a person with a documented disability.
Once a student with a disability is enrolled in courses, the following sequence of events should occur in order to receive eligible accommodations:
The professor receives written notification from the office of Student Disability Services. The letter notifies the professor that the student has a disability that must be accommodated. Due to confidentiality issues, specific information about the disability is not included. The letter simply lists the accommodations that have been discussed with the student and approved. A professor is only required to make available the accommodations that are delineated within the letter of notification issued by the office of Student Disability Services.
It is the student's responsibility to inform SDS promptly when additional accommodation letters need to be sent due to a course schedule change, instructor change, or if enrolled in a class with multiple instructors.
The student must make an appointment with each professor to discuss the accommodations that are needed and to verify that the professor has received the accommodation letter. Discussing accommodations with professors is an important step toward self-advocacy, but it is often an intimidating experience for students. If you need help with this, do not hesitate to contact Michele Atterson or Linda Brooks Williams at 317-940-9308 for assistance.
Students are asked to give one week advance notice to allow time for the necessary arrangements to be made. Otherwise, accommodations may not be able to be delivered in a timely manner. Although every attempt will be made to honor requests made on short notice, requests made with less than one week notice increase the likelihood that the necessary space, equipment, and resources needed may not be available.
It is always the student's right to refuse to request accommodations. However, a professor is not liable if the student fails to make timely arrangements and then performs poorly in the course.
If a problem develops, immediately notify SDS at 317-940-9308. If, as the semester progresses, the student feels additional accommodations are warranted, the student should contact SDS at 317-940-9308. Unless otherwise notified, the assumption will be made that the semester is progressing successfully.
Butler University is committed to treating all individuals within the university, including those with disabilities, in a fair and equitable manner. It is the policy and practice of the university to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Under these laws, no otherwise qualified individual with a disability will be denied access to or participation in services, programs, and activities at Butler University.
Summary of Procedure for Students
If at any time you have questions or concerns, please contact Michele Atterson, Director of Student Disability Services, in Jordan Hall 136, or at 317-940-9308.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mugsy!
Facts about Mugsy
- Breed: Pug Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Mugsy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Mugsy is a super sweet, adorable, little bundle of love.
Other Pets at Kinder4Rescue - CA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mugsy, a Studio City Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Studio City, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Studio City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Studio City already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Studio City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Studio City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Not all serial killers are willing to expose their kills, but Robert Hansen, known for hunting down his victims in the wild like animals, told police where he had dumped several of his victims. On April 24, 1984, investigators discovered the remains of Sue Luna and Malai Larson, sealing the case against him.
Construction workers digging near Eklutna Road outside Eklutna, Alaska, discovered the partial remains of a young woman in a shallow grave on July 21, 1980. Believed to have been a victim of serial killer Robert Hansen, her identity remains a mystery.
In the early 1980′s, Robert Hansen terrorized Alaska. He murdered between 17 and 21 women prostitutes he picked up specifically for the purpose of playing a twisted and deadly game. The Frozen Ground is a new film based on the hunt for Hansen, starring John Cusack as the killer, Nicholas Cage as the detective who took him down and Vanessa Hudgens as Cindy Paulson, a 17-year-old prostitute who narrowly escaped Hansen's lethal grip.

"Look for a new Bone videogame to be released in the spring." states Publisher Weekly's website. As Jason points out in the article, it's surprising that we haven't heard anything from Telltale about this third game. That could either lead us to conclude that the license is now with a new company, or it is a mistake on Publisher Weekly's part.
