I know the sound of despondency. I hear a lot of it in confession. People come to acknowledge their sins, but, as their story unfolds, they can't help but to express a dejected soul, one wounded over some intractable relationship. It's always a relationship. Despondency would seem to make more sense with a diagnosis, but health doesn't make any promises, which is why it torments us less than relationships. Failing a miracle, a terminal illness moves on ineluctably. We pray for the best, but...

In 1991 the blade of a bulldozer, doing roadwork in Turkey, hit a small metal object. Upon examination, it proved to be an ancient sword. Very ancient indeed. Forged in Greece, it had made its way to the Middle East, where it was taken as battle booty and received this inscription, in 1430 B.C. "As Tudhaliyas the Great King shattered the Assuwa country, he dedicated these swords to the storm-god his Lord."

Saturday, 7 p.m. Though neither of us yet knows, ineluctable forces are already moving young Anthony and me toward our terrifying rendezvous. I have baptisms after the Spanish language Mass. Gregorio has lit the large Paschal Candle, which stands on its impressive, sculpted stand near the font. Four or five families, not all that many for us, are attending Mass in preparation for the sacrament.

Frank Wilson, director of operations for WBNS-TV in Columbus, described a similar process. At his station, any questions related to the accuracy of an ad are referred to legal counsel, Wilson said. "We don't want to get too much in the middle of it."
At NBC4 in Columbus, a local sales manager also said attorneys play a lead role. But Dan Bradley, the station's general manager and a former news director, outlined a more thorough vetting process. "Third party ads don't enjoy the same protections as candidates' ads," he noted. "We have to be vigilant and they are reviewed on a number of different levels."
Bradley described the pre-broadcast review process for Super PAC ads at his station as follows:
Every third-party ad gets several steps of scrutiny before it airs, starting with a general sales manager. (In Columbus, we have one sales person who is a political specialist.) That person—along with a national sales manager and local sales manager, depending on how an ad comes in—with the assistance of a few others, reviews the ad and all the supporting documentation that comes [from the third-party group] with it. If that person has a concern, he might push back to the agency that placed the ad and ask for more backup documents. If the concern persists, they get me involved.
And then, Bradley noted, he might also involve his D.C.-based counsel.
"The vast majority of spots that come in get pretty close to the line," said Bradley. "And then under the microscope they pass muster. But there are two sides to every argument, very seldom is a claim black and white. It's more, how close to black or white can you get?"
Ken Winneg of Flackcheck.org said the internal review process Bradley described sounded strong, but he encouraged TV stations to consider the findings of fact-checking sites as part of their review process. Bradley said he is familiar with the "Stand By" campaign, and might consult Flackcheck.org or related sites on occasion, but he expressed confidence in the internal reviews stations already conduct.
He said he also expects reporters to ferret out misleading claims. "I want our news department to aggressively evaluate and challenge ads on the market," Bradley said. "Whether we choose to run it or not is one thing, but there is no reason news departments shouldn't analyze them."
That's what NBC4's Hart did in the case of the "Obama" ad. Hart said he got a list of ads running in Ohio from his station's sales department, tracked down and viewed the ads on YouTube or campaign web sites, and reviewed them for accuracy, something he says his news department does regularly.
"I looked for things that needed to be checked, but a lot of it is semantics," Hart told me. "What one person calls a 'new fee,' to another person it is called a 'tax.'"
"I think viewers appreciate journalists trying to run this down for them," he added. "Individual voters can do the research themselves, but most are inclined not to take that extra effort."
What about the financial incentives behind all this? TV stations can charge higher rates for super PAC ads—"whatever the market will bear," as the vice president of communications for the National Association of Broadcasters recently told The Hill— than they can for ads from candidates' campaigns, which must be offered at a discounted rate. So perhaps the question is, as Bill Moyers put it in a segment about the "Stand By Your Ad" campaign, "can conscience defeat cash?"
And yet, according to NBC4's Bradley, the choice is not so stark.
"We don't doubt at all if we turn down an ad for whatever reasons, deceptive claims, [the Super PAC] will be back with a different version the next day," he said.
And this torrent of ad cash comes with a logistical burden.
"This influx of Super PAC money, while a financial windfall, it is also a gigantic headache for us," said Bradley. "How do you stay ahead of it [reviewing these ads]? It's a tsunami."
Staff writers Liz Cox Barrett and Greg Marx contributed to this report.

"I Don't Live Like I Have Diabetes"
(Editor's Note: As you'll soon see why, San Antonio marketing director Ray Hoese is proud of his teenage daughter, Jordan. One evening, he e-mailed some questions to his daughter upstairs, and these were her responses.)
A Question-and-Answer Session With Jordan Hoese, A 14-Year-Old Type 1 Marathon Runner.
You're only 14 and have type 1. What made you think you could run a marathon?
Actually, neither my age nor diabetes crossed my mind after I decided it was something I wanted to do until my dad brought them up. I don't live like I have diabetes, and it's our joke in the family that I "don't really have it" because my control is so good. Honestly, I forget all about it when I'm not checking my blood sugar. So when I first got the idea that I wanted to do the marathon, the whole "I'm type 1" issue wasn't even an issue in my mind, mainly because being type 1 is not an issue. As for being 14, it's just a number. I'm told I don't act like I'm 14 or look like it, so it's not even a number I really connect to, which is probably why I didn't think of it.
Which marathon did you run?
We ran the AT&T Austin Marathon in Austin, Texas, on February 17, 2008. It took us 4 hours and 15 minutes.
Was it your first?
No, actually, I did one when I was five. Just kidding. Of course it was my first!
How do you know you're the youngest type 1 to ever run a full marathon?
It occurred to me that I might be the youngest about a month or so before the race. So I looked up the current record online for type 1 diabetic marathoning (age-wise), and it was a 24-year-old guy. I'm 10 years younger.
How did you train for it?
My dad and I were both in good shape because I ran a lot anyway and he's a cyclist, so we only trained for three months. We'd run two or three times during the week, and then take a longer run on the weekends. The long run started out at six miles the first week, and then it was seven, and then 11, then 15, and then, finally, a month before the race, we went out and ran 24 miles around the neighborhood. Four hours of running in six-mile -circles!
Our neighbors probably thought we were crazy. But it was a lot of fun. We were going to go walk two miles afterwards to say that we covered marathon distance, but we got home and were like, "Wow, my legs hurt now." So we didn't. I sat on the couch and watched a movie. But after that peak, we started making our long runs shorter. A week before the marathon, we did a 10-mile run, and that Wednesday we ran four miles. That was a sad run. Training was over.
What was it like when the starting gun went off?
Loud, because it was a cannon. No, it was really amazing. There were so many people, and they were all running and people were cheering. It was still dark when we started, and as we crossed this bridge right off the start line, all these fireworks got set off. It looked like the Fourth of July. But there was so much adrenaline in the crowd that it was contagious! I mean the crowd of runners, not the huge crowd of bystanders, although they had a lot of excitement and spirit.
Were you ever nervous or scared about trying the marathon?
Like two weeks before the marathon, we hadn't been running as much and my dad got the flu, and neither of us really ran for a week. That made me really nervous about being able to finish the marathon, even if it was just an irrational fear. I knew that, but I was still worried. My dad pointed out to me, though, that we had run almost a marathon distance three weeks before and that was no problem, and, if anything, we were fitter now. So I cooled down a little. I was still nervous up until the night before the race, though. I was sitting there and I said to my dad, "Dude. This isn't going to be hard at all!" He said something to the extent of, "Duh."
What do you think when you hear people talk about their child's diabetes as a handicap?
I remember the day I got diagnosed, my family already knew about diabetes, so from the second I heard the doctor say that I had it, I was crying. We went to get blood work done (my blood sugar was only 233, so no hospital for me), and the receptionist looked at me and said, "When I was your age, I had cancer." Yeah. So I think that people who think diabetes is a handicap are wrong, obviously, because there are much worse things out there.
Diabetes is not hard to deal with, it is not something that has to affect your life, it is not something that you even have to think about. Seriously! It doesn't take that much thinking capacity to check and bolus! And once you do that, you're done. There may not be a cure for diabetes, but there's a 100-percent guaranteed effective treatment, which is more than a blind person or someone with cancer or AIDS can say. Anybody who says diabetes is a handicap just doesn't know that all they have to do is check (a lot) and bolus (or eat) accordingly.
How do you control your blood sugars? Do you have any issues, problems or complications?
I check my blood sugar, and then I give insulin for the carbs I eat! That's as in depth as I'm going to go, because that's all there is! I check about six or seven times a day, which really only takes a total of, like, 30 seconds, and when I eat carbs, I give insulin. Oh! When I run, I burn blood sugar like nobody's business, so I have to eat about 30 carbs for about every 40 minutes I'm running. That's kind of a pain. Especially because if I so much as think about insulin while running, I will drop faster and need to eat more Gu or drink more Gatorade.
If I actually have insulin (even leftovers from the insulin I bolused at lunch two hours ago!), I can't run. Because of all that, we'd have to stop and check every three miles during training. But during the marathon, we used a Dexcom continuous meter so we didn't have to stop at all. It made everything a lot easier. And it probably made our time faster by at least 20 minutes. It was fun to run like I wasn't diabetic for once! All I had to do was glance at the Dexcom and drink the Gatorade the people at the aid stations hand to you!
Anyway, I check my blood sugar, and then my pump tells me how much insulin I need for how many carbs I eat – a 30:1 carb ratio, a consequence of running – and then I adjust (or don't) based on blood sugar. My A1c is always somewhere between 5 and 6.5% and I have never had a severe high or low, or been hospitalized, or had an issue or problem or complication with diabetes, and I don't plan to!
Tell me about your pump therapy – how/who adjusts your basal rates, ratios, and all that stuff. How often do you adjust things, running a marathon and otherwise?
First of all, I do everything myself. Aside from the process of figuring them out, as I've gotten increasingly fitter over the last year and a half, I don't adjust my basal rates or ratios very often. My basal stays at.25 units an hour, except at night, when it's .2u/h because my dad is paranoid about nighttime lows and I have to keep him happy, and my ratio is one unit for every 30 carbs. That's not a lot of insulin. I'm really insulin sensitive because of all the running I do, so a little insulin goes a long way. A tenth of a unit drops me between 30-50 points. A whole unit is only something I would want to do if I were above 300.
I'm on a Medtronic MiniMed pump that I put NovoLog in, and I also have NovoLog in my insulin pen. I avoid the pen at all costs, though, because I'm a total needlephobic. As far as blood sugar, because of my insulin sensitivity and fitness, I go low if I so much as walk half a mile with my pump on. So my pump is quite frequently suspended, usually because I'm walking around or it's a while until dinner. I don't wear my pump or bolus for at least an hour and a half before running, if I can help it. Running, plus residual insulin, equals a big drop really fast.
About doctor visits…. I feel like a rebel now – I don't keep a logbook. My meter has a feature that tells you your averages, and I read that to my doctor. They're all in range, so my doctor visits – which are with a great endocrinologist who realizes that my dad and I know what we're doing diabetes-wise – are basically just casual discussions about stuff after all the paperwork gets done because we don't really have any treatment questions. Last visit, we just talked about non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, and proteins, like Glut 4, that facilitate glucose diffusion. So I look forward to doctor's visits, 'cause I'm a nerd like that. And because they're usually during school hours.
What advice do you have for other type 1s?
Take care of yourself. I know so many diabetics who just don't realize or care that staying alive is so easy. You don't have to be a runner or a biker or an athlete to be healthy with diabetes – although it's cooler if you are, in my opinion! You just have to check and then bolus. Diabetics are seen as handicapped because people just don't check their blood sugar or give the right amount of insulin.
I know I sound repetitive, but it's as simple as that. I know so many people who make the fact that they have diabetes their life, and they still have really bad blood sugars! But you guys should know that type 1 doesn't have to be your life, because it's not that complicated. And in the words of my favorite runner of all time, Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."

Mitt Romney paid 2% less in taxes while earning 100 times more money.
Paul Ryan should be pissed! But he's not. In fact, if he had his way, he'd reduce Romney's tax burden even more. You know, because Romney and other people in the 1% of the 1% are starving to death.

Southern Rural Access Program: Tina Monlezun
Louisiana Southern Rural Access Program
Dates of Project: July 1997 to August 2009
Field of Work: Increasing access to health care in rural, underserved areas of eight Southern states
Synopsis of the Work: The Southern Rural Access Program was a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that worked to increase access to health care in rural, underserved areas of eight southern states. The states recruited and retained rural primary care providers, offered programs to attract students committed to working in rural areas to the health professions and help prepare them for training programs, developed collaborative networks of rural health providers, and developed loan funds to help rural health providers improve their practices. Louisiana was one of the participating states.
Story Told: Lake Arthur, a town of 2,900 people in southwest Louisiana, lost its health clinic a few years back, and some local residents—mostly shrimpers, oil workers and farmers working for low wages and without health benefits—had no health care since then. Nurse practitioner Tina Monlezun, RN, MSN, bought the vacant clinic building and with a loan from Louisiana's Southern Rural Health Access project, was able to open the clinic and cover costs such as personnel and equipment. Within five years, Monlezun had a staff of 10 providing care to almost 3,700 people. Read the clinic's story in the sidebar.

You're lucky if you and your teenage children live in a state with a graduated drivers licensing program. These systems are designed to ease young novice drivers into experienced motorists by gradually exposing them to increasingly demanding driving experiences and licensing stages. Upwards of 40 states have three-stage graduated licensing systems. Several other states have portions of graduating licensing programs in-place. And these programs produce results.
Why are these programs so important?
Statistics show that the fatality crash rate for 16-year-old drivers dropped sharply after states started implementing graduated licensing laws in the mid-1990s. For instance, fatal crash involvement based on the population of 16 year-olds declined 26 percent during the 10-year period ended in 2003. This is the main finding of a new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study (IIHS). The overall number of 16-year-old drivers in fatal crashes decreased from 1,084 in 1993 to 938 in 2003, while during the same period there was an 18 percent increase in the 16-year-old population.
Graduated licensing programs consist of three stages/phases:
Teenagers still a major road hazard
But make no mistake -- even with the encouraging findings of the IIHS, teenage drivers still shape up as a major hazard on America's highways. Teenagers drive less than most older drivers, but - alarmingly -- the number of crashes and crash deaths are disproportionately high for teenage motorists. Want proof?
The IIHS reports that, based on crashes of all degrees, the crash rate per mile driven amount 16 to 19 year olds ranks four times greater than the risk among older drivers. Vehicular accident risk runs highest for 16 year olds, according to the IIHS. Matter of fact, the crash rate per mile driven is twice as high among 16 year olds as it in among those in the 18-19-year-old age group.
So why are the crash rates so high among young drivers? It's because of "young drivers" immaturity combined with driving inexperience," answered IIHS spokesman Russ Rader. He says that the immaturity is evident "in the speeding, tailgating and other risky driving practices of many young drivers."
What can you teach your teenage driver to help them drive more safely?
Here are five important driving tips that every teen should know:

For optional deps, we're close to having two proposals. That's moving forwards. Whether or not it will be in EAPI 5 depends solely upon timing, and whether the Council ends up liking at least one of the two proposals. For "forced rebuilds", there's a proposal already, and Zac has just done implementation work, and most of the PMS patch was written ages ago for kdebuild-1 and the original EAPI 3. So again, whether or not that ends up in EAPI 5 is just a matter of timing and Council approval. For "what's being worked on", you just need to look at the PMS list. So I'm really not sure what your problem is there... -- Ciaran McCreesh

geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)/div>
/div>Country, Middle East, southwestern Asia. It juts out from the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula into the Persian Gulf. Area: 4,184 sq mi (10,836 sq km). Population: (2009 est.) 1,661,000. Capital: Doha. Most of the population is Arab, with South Asian and Iranian minorities who are often migrant workers. Languages: Arabic (official), English. Religions: Islam (official; predominantly Sunni); also Christianity, Hinduism. Currency: Qatar rial. Qatar is mostly stony, sandy, and barren and consists of salt flats, dune desert, and arid plains. Largely because of petroleum and natural gas exports, its gross national product per capita is one of the highest in the world. The government owns all of the agricultural land and generates most of the economic activity; the private sector participates in trade and contracting on a limited scale. Qatar is a constitutional emirate with one advisory body, and its basis of legislation is Islamic law. The head of state and government is the emir, assisted by the prime minister. It was partly controlled by Bahrain from the mid-18th to the mid-19th century and then was nominally part of the Ottoman Empire until World War I (1914–18). In 1916 it became a British protectorate. Oil was discovered in 1939, and Qatar rapidly modernized. It declared independence in 1971, when the British protectorate ended. In 1991 Qatar served as a base for air strikes against Iraq in the Persian Gulf War.

First Response Radio Delivers Info to Philippines After Typhoon
Tacloban City, Philippines - Dec 4, 2013 - Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines on Nov. 7, 2013, devastating the country and destroying all communications. On Nov. 13, First Response Radio deployed a five-man team to Tacloban City, Philippines, to setup an emergency radio station to broadcast life-saving information to the typhoon survivors. The radio station is still operating as disaster response work continues.
A 600W FM transmitter (BW Broadcast TX600) is being used and has a reach of up to 60km radius. A dipole antenna was erected atop the three-storey Tacloban City Hall. Solar-powered and crank-up radio receivers are being distributed to the affected communities. Tacloban City government officials are using the radio station to broadcast critical news and information such as where to get relief goods. All TV and radio broadcast stations were down after the super typhoon.

This work by the Far East Broadcasting Company, an international network of non-profit and non-commercial organizations, is called First Response Radio. A suitcase studio is specially built for this disaster response initiative. The suitcase contains a small mixer, microphones, headphones, laptop, CD player, portable audio recorder, on-air light, and other equipment.
First Response Radio is a member of the Communicating with Disaster Affected Communities (CDAC) Network.
Radio listeners in the area say they not only benefit from the news and information but are also greatly encouraged by the programs on air. Music played on the airwaves gave them a sense of normalcy returning in their lives.

Purdue to play Oklahoma State in Heart of Dallas Bowl
By Michael Osipoff 648-3137, email@example.com December 2, 2012 11:00PM
Updated: January 4, 2013 6:18AM
After winning its final three games to become bowl-eligible, Purdue on Sunday was rewarded with a bid to the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
The Boilermakers (6-6) will play Big 12 opponent Oklahoma State (7-5) at 11 a.m. on Jan. 1 at the Cotton Bowl Stadium, televised by ESPNU; it's their first New Year's Day game since the Capital One Bowl in the 2003 season, a 34-27 overtime loss to Georgia. Last season, in their first bowl appearance since 2007, they topped Western Michigan 37-32 in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
With Purdue having dismissed Danny Hope after four seasons and Cincinnati's Butch Jones reportedly its top target to fill the position — he interviewed on Sunday in West Lafayette — wide receivers coach Patrick Higgins has been serving as interim coach for the Boilermakers.
"It's going to be a great experience," said Higgins, who also has been acting as offensive coordinator with Gary Nord incapacitated by a severe back injury. "We just can't wait to go down there and start the day off against a quality opponent. We're going to have such a great time that we're going to have smiles on our faces all the way down and all the way back."
Purdue certainly had visions of reaching a higher-profile bowl. But given the way the season unfolded, including a five-game losing streak that left them at 3-6, the Boilermakers are welcoming the chance simply to be playing another game. It's especially meaningful for seniors such as sixth-year quarterback Robert Marve, who continues to play with a torn ACL in his left knee, and East Chicago defensive tackle Kawann Short.
"It's a blessing," said Marve, who apparently set a school record for completion percentage (66.2) this season. "It's been a roller-coaster year, it's kind of crazy. We're looking forward to the opportunity now. … We lost five in a row, now we've won three in a row, so hopefully we can get the fourth. We're looking for the 'W.' We know we have to put a lot of hard work into practice getting ready. But we're extremely happy about the bowl game, we're extremely happy to be in this position, and there's no other way we'd rather go out than with a win.
"I think it's awesome to play in January. It's something I watched when I was a kid growing up."
Short passed up last year's NFL Draft to return for his final season.
"We never doubted it, we never questioned it," he said. "We had high expectations for ourselves. … We knew we were going to get to a bowl game, it didn't matter which one."
The Boilermakers were the No. 7 bowl team selected from the Big Ten, behind Minnesota, as well as Michigan State. Their other likely destination was the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, with that game in Houston landing the Gophers. The per-team payout for the Heart of Dallas Bowl (known as the Ticket City Bowl in its first two seasons, with the Big Ten going 0-2) is $1.1 million, compared to $1.7 for the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Purdue will return to Texas for a postseason game for the first time since the 2004 Sun Bowl in El Paso, a 27-23 loss to Arizona State. The Boilermakers will play a bowl game in Dallas for the first time, after having played in the Sun Bowl three times (1-2 record), the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio twice (wins in 1997, against Oklahoma State 33-20, and '98), and the 1979 Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston (defeated Tennessee 27-22).
Purdue has played two regular-season games at the Cotton Bowl (tie against SMU in 1965, win against Texas A&M in 1967), which has hosted the second-most bowl games, behind only the Rose Bowl.
"I couldn't be happier for the players, particularly the seniors, and the staff to have the opportunity to play in probably one of the most historic venues in college football," Purdue athletics director Morgan Burke said. "… We're one of five Big Ten schools playing on Jan. 1, and that's the day you're supposed to be playing in a bowl game. We'll get to lead off the day, and get them off to a fast start."

And what a grateful time to be feeling healthy. I'm so happy to feel my body restore itself. I can't even tell you what a remarkable difference there is in me since I stopped eating gluten. I'm starting to feel better than I ever have in my life. Energy is surging through me, for the first time in years. And frankly, that's worth more than anything else in the world. To feel alive, and feel as though I finally have energy to give to other people, because that's true life for me.
This morning, I was on Vashon Island, visiting my brother and sister-in-law. But mostly, I was there to see my dear, dear nephew, whose high, clear voice moves me and makes me laugh every time he talks. My nephew and I were dancing to Stevie Wonder's Innervisions, which I hadn't heard in years, and running around the rooms in circles. I was flapping my arms, making him laugh, twirling my feet in and out, making him laugh. "Shauna is silly!" he shouted, in his sweet, two-year-old voice, giggling. I love making him giggle, watching his shoulders shake. But a few moments later, I stopped trying to make him laugh and just bounced around the room, my center of gravity deep within me, my feet solid on the ground, and my energy inexhaustible. I felt dissolved into the moment, open and free of any former self. I felt as though I could dance forever, with my little buddy by my side. For months, I had to sit on the couch, wan and wincing, while he danced around the living room. Today, I could outlast him. I felt alive.
Everything feels alive now.

One reviewer of the latter in Christianity Today says, "I'm hoping to invite my adult friends over for an evening with the Story. It will help some of us (well, me) to retool our theology a bit. We'll pass The Jesus Storybook Bible around and read it aloud, taking time to look at the pictures."[4] Tim Keller goes further: "I would urge not just families with young children to get this book, but every Christian—from pew warmers, to ministry leaders, seminarians and even theologians!"[5] Others make similar claims for The Big Picture Story Bible, which one blog-commenter suggests adding to a list of "Books to Read Before You Start Seminary/Divinity College."[6]
This is a relatively new situation. Prior to these story bibles, it is hard to find any such enthusiastic endorsements. What are we to make of this? On the one hand it could highlight the extent of biblical illiteracy and theological immaturity among Christian adults and, more alarmingly, among seminary students. On the other hand, or perhaps in addition to this, it could speak of the quality of these books, although the lack of any sustained critical engagement with them means that claims of their value are largely untested.
That testing, therefore, is the focus of this article. Although several story bibles have appeared in recent years, the widespread popularity of these two justifies limiting our attention to them.[7] My previous article demonstrates that it is neither an easy nor a quick task to evaluate a story bible. Drawing on the methodology my preceding article develops, this article considers these two popular story bibles with reference to four key relationships:
- story bible text and Scripture
- story bible images and Scripture
- text and image within the story bible
- the story bible and the child
Not every review of a story bible need follow this sequence, or do so at such length, but I hope in what follows to build on the previous article in two ways: (1) underline the significance and multifaceted nature of these relationships and (2) demonstrate their usefulness as a framework by which to evaluate story bibles.
1. The Big Picture Story Bible
The Big Picture Story Bible (hereafter BPSB), first published in 2004 by Crossway, now includes a companion audio CD (2010) and an eBook edition (2011), reflecting both the book's success and technological advances within publishing.[8] Intended for ages 2-7, it is divided into 26 chapters, 11 covering the OT (201 pages), 15 the NT (225 pages).
1.1. The Relationship between BPSB Text and Scripture
There are four sides to the relationship between the text of a story bible and Scripture: omission, addition, reformulation, and transposition.[9] In other words, we ask, "What has the author left out, added, changed, or rearranged?"
Continue reading at Themelios, an international evangelical theological journal that expounds and defends the historic Christian faith. It is published three times per year by The Gospel Coalition.
[1] To avoid ambiguity, this article refers to children's bibles as "story bibles," "children's bibles," or "bibles" (lowercase) and the Christian Scriptures as "the Bible" (uppercase) or "Scripture."

[5] Quoted in Justin Taylor, "The Jesus Storybook Bible," Between Two Worlds, February 22, 2007, (cited November 1, 2012). Tullian Tchividjian gives a similar endorsement: "The Jesus Storybook Bible is, in my opinion, one of the best resources available to help both children and adults see the Jesus-centered story line of the Bible." "What the Bible is Not," The Gospel Coalition Blog, December 28, 2009, (cited November 1, 2012).
[6] The suggestion appears in the comments after this post by Michael F. Bird: "Books to Read Before You Start Seminary/Divinity College," Euangelion, September 14, 2012.
[7] Other story bibles published in the last few years that would merit further reviews include Starr Meade, Mighty Acts of God: A Family Bible Story Book (Wheaton: Crossway, 2010); Doug Mauss, ed., The Action Bible: God's Redemptive Story (Colorado Springs, CO: Cook, 2010); Marty Machowski, The Gospel Story Bible: Discovering Jesus in the Old and New Testaments (Greensboro, NC: New Growth Press, 2011); The Story for Kids: Discover the Bible from Beginning to End (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2011); Champ Thornton, God's Love: A Bible Storybook (Whitakers, NC: PositiveAction, 2012).

Wagner: Hand und Instrument
Musikphysiologische Grundlagen - Praktische Konsequenzen (unter Mitarbeit von Ulrike Wohlwender)
A "HAND"-book that should be in everyone's hands
People's hands are different, as we all known. But what is important when playing a musical instrument? In "Hand und Instrument" we learn for the first time to what extent the hands of professional musicians actually differ from one another, and how this impacts musical instruction and one's later career. "Handprofile" not only presents advantages and limitations, but also offers help with the explanation of performance-technical problems, thus making it a key to individual playing technique. The reader can evaluate hands independently by using the measuring sheets included in the book.
All this is based on the only existing systematic documentation of data concerning musicians' hands which Christoph Wagner, the founder and long time director of the Institute for Music Physiology at the Musikhochschule Hannover, has published here for the first time in an enlightening context. "Hand und Instrument" is an instructional method, a reference work and a book of tips and advice all in one – for teachers, musicians, instrument makers, physicians and physiotherapists. It grew out of the collaboration with musicians and can be understood without any previous technical knowledge.

From the Greatest Voice to the Worst Voice?
The letter "D". Bob Dylan. 35 studio albums, live albums and the amazing bootleg series. I have most of his stuff. I lack most of his 80's releases but I do own "Infidels" and "Oh Mercy." I felt reckless and wild when I listened to his stuff in the 70's. His music hit me hard. I bought my copy of "Blood on the Tracks" at the Coop at Harvard Square the day it came out. A bunch of friends came over to my house that night and we listened to it over and over and over. We discussed the lyrics as if we were great philosophers. "Idiot Wind," Tangled Up in Blue," and "Shelter from the Storm." Within hours, we had that record memorized. And then, I caught a couple of shows with the Rolling Thunder Revue. So alive and vivid, I can still bring the whole event to mind. I love Dylan and I acknowledge his lack of voice on stage now but I still go. I still feel it. And, I consider my collection of his records my most precious. Yeah, I said that.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Usually these kinds of forces are most loyal to the leader and mostly

Sorry to state the obvious - but, in this case, it is unusual for the
presidential guard - as opposed to some other type of security forces - to
be dispatched to protect the state television station?

anyone else with cranberry viburnum pests? Mine usually have something that curls some of the leaves but right now something else (many small greenish yellowish worm) are eating the leaves leaving just the veins. The leaves looke like lace when they are finished. I have never noticed this problem befor but know of another bush 15 miles away with the same problem, also for the first time. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have the same thing, funny to see your post, I was just thinking I should do a search to see if I could find out what the problem is? Mine are new seedlings (18"-24") and I'd sure like to save them from whatever it is! I'll do some more research and check back in. |
sorry, I should have added, I have since discovered it is the "Viburnum leaf beetle" which sounds close to impossible to get rid of. There is something that can be sprayed but a license might be required (in other words, pretty toxic stuff) I will add the name as soon as I find it. I might try some pruning later in the season since my plants aren't totally infested. |

Toff ramps up preparation for return in trial Brad WatersMonday, 20 February 2012
Dual Group I winner Toorak Toff tuned up for his return to racing with a solid effort in a barrier trial at Cranbourne on Monday.
Toorak Toff returned from a throat operation to win the Group I Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield in the spring. The stallion won the Group I Golden Rose (1400m) during his three-year-old season.
Caulfield trainer Rick Hore-Lacy will give the son of Show A Heart his first run for the autumn in the Group I Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington.
Toorak Toff stepped out in the opening heat of Monday's trials at Cranbourne. The four-year-old chased home the speedy Fab Fevola, finishing a length behind the former Queenslander in the 800-metre hit-out.
Triple Group I winner Yosei worked home in the same trial to finish another 2-1/4 lengths behind Toorak Toff. Fab Fevola completed the 800-metre trial in 45.34 seconds.
Meanwhile, the Peter Moody stable showed off its latest batch of two-year-olds at Cranbourne with the camp's youngsters performing strongly.
Moody has trainer 108 winners in Victoria for the season but has prepared only one winner, Liberty Rock at Kyneton, from 12 juvenile starters.
The giant Caulfield operation produced Bold Cover to win the third trial of the morning in 46.17 seconds before the Hard Spun filly Palace Scandal claimed the sixth heat in 47.68 seconds.
Moody also gave Sepoy's younger brother Mulaazem his first public outing. The Dubai Destination colt finished 3-1/4 lengths behind the Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained Mendivil in the fourth trial.

I used to use another multifilament, especially for stringing other people's racquets. But that string is no longer available, so I now use this product from Head. It's soft, has good feel, and seems to have good elasticity. And its more reasonably priced than an nxt or technifibre product.

According to our data, two forms of females belong to one species Aceria anthocoptes (Nal.). Males studied during the whole growing season had the characteristics similar to protogynes. Damages caused by both forms were the same. In the middle of the season transitional forms between protogynes and deutogynes were often found.

Last two nights I'm back to 8~9 hours of sleep, on a soft matrass, with a big soft pillow, without bedcheck or wake up calls. Back to bread and milk for breakfast instead of rice porridge and eggs and cold sweet tea or some soy drink. Back to bread for lunch or instant noodles instead of rice and all sorts of different (strange?) foods. Back to normal toilets instead of squatters where you'd have to bring your own toilet paper. Back to a place where it's cold outside and warm inside, instead of cold inside and hot outside.
Although this make it sound that a lot of negative things happened in Taiwan, I miss it. The people, the friends… the atmosphere, together with everyone. Those three weeks were definately not enough. Back with new friends in Taiwan, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Austria, France, Great Britain and friends here in the Netherlands.

The comeback kids narrative lives, as Manchester United come from behind to destroy the dreams of Villan supporters round the globe.
- Chicharito is the best striker in the EPL at this moment. His form has carried across all levels of play, including another splendid performance today. Three goals — really two, but awarding Ron Vlaar with an own goal was especially harsh — confirms what we thought. In responding to SAF's challenge to 'step up' — apologies — his game, the diminutive forward has provided Manchester United with another lethal attacking option.
- This is a cruel game. One in which solid performances are sometimes rewarded with defeat. Once again Christian Benteke provided mouth watering play, owning Chris Smalling en route to setting up Andreas Weimann's first goal of the season late in the first half. Though Smalling acquitted himself well as the game wore on, Benteke's combination of strength and speed should frighten rival clubs. This guy can play.
- Wiemann would strike again, five minutes into the final half. Benteke's dummy, Agbonlahor's cross and the Austrian's finish was made possible by some lax defending from Rafael.
- Villa's success in the first half can be attributed to excellent play from Ashley Westwood, Barry Bannan and Enda Stevens. The trio effectively shut down Paul Scholes. This made Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney sit even deeper in the midfield, neutering United's attack.
- Gabby Agbonlahor continues to thrive on the wing. Unburdened from a commitment to scoring goals, the Englishman is proving he can be the wing man to Benteke. Even more promising is Agbonlahor's commitment to fitness. He doesn't last 90 minutes last season in a game like this.
- SAF's watch tapping display in the 60th minute provided comic relief in a tense game. Really Fergie?
- David De Gea could've done better on Weimann's first marker, but the Spanish goalkeeper did extremely well to keep United in the game with an excellent reaction save on a Benteke header late in the second half. Though they were ahead — a seemingly impossible feat when it comes to playing Manchester United at home — Villa did not sit back. For that I laud their effort. Positive football is fun to watch.
- For all the good Westwood & Co. did early, they couldn't hold back Scholes for long. The ageless wonder put Rafael free, who in turn set up Chicharito for the equalizer.
- United would find the winning goal off a play that should become familiar by season's end. A beautiful free kick from RVP found an unmarked Hernandez. 3-2. The story repeats itself. Twitter trolls rejoice.
- As much as this game was exciting — and it was — the depressing realization for neutrals is some things may never change. For all the good they did early, Villa were unable to hold on. It wasn't inevitable, no matter what the pundits want you to believe, but their capitulation speaks to the sheer depth and quality this Manchester United side possess. Four points clear of the other contenders — Chelsea and City play tomorrow — United have made asserted themselves as the team to beat this season. You may beat them early. But try getting through 90 minutes before writing off the red devils.
- 1995 was a long, long time ago.
Three stars
1. Javier Hernandez
2. Ashley Westwood
3. Christian Benteke

I am trying to convert this composite surface into a single solid body, however when I try to stich the surfaces in the construction environment it always crashes. I have also tried edditing the STEP file import options but it still always opens as a composite surface.
No file attached?
I'm having touble uploading it... says the file size is too large... already compressd it in a zip. Solutions?
Depends on where you have it.
In Inventor?
Drag the Red End of Part marker above the Composite body and nothing in Construction (or Repair) environment.
Save the file in a rolled up state and then zip.
If still larger than 1.5 meg the limit is 10Meg over here http://www.augi.com
The most obvious question - Why would you even need that as solids? Wouldn't you simply purchase from the company?
This seems to be a derived part from a SWX 2010 assembly, as can be seen in the translation report.
I've seen several similar parts, and most of them had lots of missing or distorted faces. SWX derived parts seem to be only minor quality.
With lots of spare time and some knowledge, you can rebuild these imports. But that's no fun.
If you need to include in assembly drawing - simply tell Inventor to include surfaces.
If you want it to "appear" solid - right click and turn off Translucent.
If you reall want to take the time to convert to solids you will need to create Groups in Repair (Construction) environment and isolate the different parts into different groups. Patch the missing surfaces, stitch and promote. (an all day job on this assembly)

I'm making Ina's tuna salad (linked below).
It's basically seared tuna steaks, chopped and tossed with avocado and vinaigrette. Do you think I can pre-make, toss the tuna with the vinaigrette and add the avocado before serving? I'm thinking the flavors of the tuna and vinaigrette need to meld for awhile before serving. Also, DH is not a fan of this kind of salad unless it's on bread. Do you think a bun or a wrap would be better? I'm thinking wrap and maybe some edamame on the side. Opinions? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ina's Tuna Salad
Follow-Up Postings:
I personally wouldn't want it mucked together in advance with the dressing. I'd want it all freshly tossed together right before eating. I'd want my bun or wrap on the side but if DH only likes it on bread does he mean bread (bun) or wrap? If I had to put it on something, I agree a wrap would be better. |
If you make it ahead of time that lime juice will "cook" the tuna even more. I think I'd toss just before serving. Dh blackened tuna last weekend and I turned the leftovers into tuna salad with carrots, celery, onions, pecans, and mayo. |
Gibby, he doesn't care what kind of bread, he just thinks the meal isn't complete unless he has some. I think I'm going to do the wrap and include some lettuce and other veggies to go with it. Natal, thanks, I totally forgot about the acid cooking the tuna. That solves that! Blackened sounds so good but I don't have any blackening seasons. I think I'll grill it for a little smokey flavor. |
It's too late to help you with your salad, but I did want to suggest these wraps: flatout wraps I have never tried any of the other wraps so I can't say how they stack up against other brands but I do like the high fiber and protein in these. We discovered them in the fall and used them for making our sandwiches for the beach. I made them with hummus and slice veggies. My sister & friend made turkey wraps. |
Wow, Hhireno, that flatbread looks to be all natural and low calorie. I don't see they are carried anywhere close to me but I might just order online. Thanks!! My tuna salad was incredible and DH was a happy happy guy. |
Also try the Mission brand Carb Balance tortillas. That is what we use. They come in various sizes, and have way more fiber and fewer net carbs. Always soft and great for open-face or wraps. |
