Gimme LEGO reveals Super Star Destroyer
Posted by Huw,Our very own DrDaveWatford is organising a display of UCS Star Wars sets at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK this weekend, as part of a larger display being put on by the Brickish Association. Thanks to LEGO, he's been able to get hold of a Super Star Destroyer, months before its release, to complete the display.
He's diligently documenting the unpacking and building of this behemoth over on his excellent blog, Gimme LEGO. So far it's out of the box and the minifigs are assembled. He'll continue his review as building progresses, so keep an eye out later this week to see it in all its glory and to find out what he thinks of it.

I do not like the new Dangar. I think the old one was better. The destroyer looks cool though.
^I think the new one is better, personally. That Vader for sale, Dr. D?
All figures for sale?
Just want to say a quick 'thanks' to DrDave for his blogging, a lot of time and effort has clearly gone into this (and his others) review and it is greatly appreciated.
I am green with envy that he had an early hands on on the SSD. :) But definitely two thumbs up for his blogging about the build.
Great Lego blog and definitely look forward to seeing the various stages of the build.
That little mini-Star Destroyer is so cute...;)
LEGOlas1 and MvdS : sorry, the minifigs aren't for sale ! That having been said, I think the Vader figure is the same as in Set 10212 Imperial Shuttle and possibly 10188 Death Star as well, and Bricklink prices aren't too bad if that's the case. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to source the new Dengar and IG-88, however....
princedraven and others : delighted you're enjoying the review and the blog - thanks for reading !
Part one is great and I look forward to the next part. Do you get to keep it?
Yes, color me excited for the next part! This set is definitely near the top of my Wants list; I hopefully will have it in my collection by the end of the year.
Amazing - can't wait to get it!!!!
^^Yes, do you get to keep it?
^ Doc paid for the set so I'd like to think he'd get to keep it! :o)
A really good Part 1 - thanks. Looking forward to the grand finale.
BOGO sale, I await thee.
Been waiting for this set for many years. I think I'm going to sell my 10030 star destroyer to pay for this massive set. If anyone in the U.S is wanting it let me know.
^^But with a BOGO, you'd have to get a set of equal or larger price. So wouldn't that kind of make the sale less saleish? ;) @starwarsnerd3001: How much are you asking?
@LEGOlas: Ah, I thought you could buy the SSD and buy a Battle Pack and get away with it... :)
^Yeah, that's what I thought at first too. I was planning to buy the Death Star and Captain's Cabin for a round $210 and walk away laughing. But the my mom clarified me. :-(
@Alemas: You could buy TWO SSD's. :D
To all those that have asked, I'm afraid that I almost certainly will NOT get to keep the set after the National Space Centre exhibition. I will certainly be buying my own copy when the set is released, however - it's epic !
RE: BOGO - I would buy two then sell one on ebay for 85-90%, after auction fees I would hope too get the one I would end up keeping for 75% of retail.
^^That's too bad, considering you had to pay for it. :(
^ I didn't have to pay for it; LEGO very kindly gave a copy of the set to the Brickish Association to display at their show at the National Space Centre this coming weekend, and I was lucky enough to get to build it.
I've blogged this in our blog - I hope that's fine with you guys.
Great pics by the way.
Apologies all, I misread something in the blog and understood DrDave had bought at retail rpice. He didn't - I got it wrong!
@cjg: One to build, the other for parts? :)
Dr Dave should get to keep it. While I am sure he is enjoying the build, but the fact is he is doing a great service for Lego. An all day build should be worth something,
^I agree. Why can't he keep it. He's building it for the show...he's blogging and doing a thorough review that can convince potential buyers. That's sounds so...cheap... for Lego to not let him have it and a few kits for all the effort.
I have seen many complaints in the past about cheaper Chinese mini-fig parts. While I think I have notice some quality differences among some minifigs (primarily on the legs), could some one please school me on this subject.
What has appeared to me as the cheaper plastic looks unfortunately like the plastic on Bossk's legs as show on the Gimme Lego review. ( Also, I think maybe lego should eliminate most stickers on the UCS and other high end sets. )
Cheaper Chinese minifig parts are only used in 'extended product line' items such as magnets and CMFs, and never, so far, in regular sets. I think we can be 100% certain that the figs in this set will be Danish, but Dr Dave can confirm this by looking underneath their feet. If '(c) LEGO' is visible, they are Danish, if not they are Chinese.
^ I've just checked the 4 regular minifigs (IG-88 is obviously not a standard minifig) and all have '(c) LEGO' stamped on the inside of both feet, so you can rest easy !
Also, just to respond to some of the comments above, the reason I probably won't get to keep the set is not because LEGO want it back but because it was given to Brickish for the purposes of the NSC display at the weekend rather than to me personally. I just wanted to make that clear as LEGO have been really supportive of our desire to get hold of a copy of the set and put on a great Star Wars display.
That was nice of Lego to give Brickish a free 400$ set for display! (Even though they can't keep it)
Wait, if the set is finished, why aren't they selling it? Does is take that long to manufacture?
^ Brickish were given the set by Lego to help promote it this weekend. Doc took on the task to construct it on behalf of Brickish/Lego. Doc may or may not keep hold of the set for future events although the property remains that of Brickish. Not that it matters anyway.
Desperately waiting for Part 2 Doc. I so would have lent a hand constructing it!
^ It's available at FBTB now.
Part II is now up on the blog! =)
It's a pretty good shot by lego, but still not quite what the community created.
Lasse Deleuran created a masterpiece years ago (http://mocpages.com/moc.php/1549) and it is simply amazing with only a few hundred more bricks (3540) than the official Lego version.
I have this beast and it is simply stunning. The Lego UCS set will join it on my wall, but I'm afraid that the UCS set will not remain there permanently like Lasse's does =)
Still, looking forward to the "official" set =)
^ Thanks for posting the link, lovaquero. I think both the MOC and the official version have their pros and cons. I like the dark bley in the super-structure of the official version better than the MOC, to be honest. What I'd really like is to see both versions side by side and then make a judgement....!
^^Is the MOC Minifigure compatible?
^LEGOlas1: No, the MOC isn't mini compatible, if you mean in the same way that the official set it. It is just a display MOC. The interior is all support structure.
^^DrDaveWatford: Agreed. Lasse's MOC is very monochromatic. =)
I do like it better due to (1) the non-flat underside, (2) the "super-bay" on the underside, (3) more detailed engines and engine blocks for those 13 beastial engines and (4) better greebling, similar to the ISD.
My thanks to you for posting the build of the Lego SSD - it IS amazing and I cannot wait to get one!

Last year, I think, someone posted on here about a documentary that was being made called "My Mother's Garden," about the filmmaker's mother who has hoarding disease. I saw the finished film today at the Silverdocs festival. It's a powerful movie, well done, but the most interesting thing was that the filmmaker AND her mother were there at the screening and did a Q & A afterward. The mother was in almost complete denial that she had had serious mental problems most of her adult life. You could see the daughter's frustration.
It looks like this was the last scheduled screening in the U.S., but perhaps it will be shown elsewhere in the future. |

Follow-Up Postings:
Very interesting. I was ripped to shreds on a different board when I responded to the OP about what to do about a potential home like that in her parents neighborhood. Since she mentioned that small children were involved I encouraged her to get more information. Wow, the posters just ripped me after that accusing me of being someone who enjoyed sticking my nose in other people's business to say the least! As if I would enjoy ripping a family apart! The OP ended up saying that they would ignore the problem. In other words, it wasn't her problem. But I have an interest in hoarding since I found myself as a visitor in an out of control home once, decades ago and I could tell the parents were more than a bit "off". At least now it is known as a disease and can be looked out from a psychological point of view. Dr. Phil had an episode about extreme hoarding in March or April. In defense of the children he agreed that they did deserve better care. |

The children in this family (the filmmaker and her three brothers) had a horrible time. One kid started drinking, another got involved with gangs and got shot in the face, the daughter moved out of the house at 13 (she said in the movie that there was so much junk everywhere that she had no place to sleep) and worked as a prostitute to earn money. They all seem to be doing pretty well now as adults (and one striking thing is how gorgeous they all are, mother and kids both!), but there are also a lot of psychic scars. If I saw a home like that with minor children in residence, I would certainly call whatever social services were available. No one should have to live like that. Subjecting children to that kind of life is a form of abuse. In fact, DH had a cousin who turned into a hoarder (DH says the cousin's house was just like the classic hoarder's place, filled with garbage), and he died basically as a result of living in filth, I think from the equivalent of toxic shock syndrome. He was only in his 30s at the time. |

First, let me admit that I have no credentials to give me authority here...but I believe that all human behavior lies somewhere on a continuum, and that mental illness is what happens at the extremes. We all keep things illogically, or get terribly blue sometimes, or forget things, or obsess a little over something, or get a little hyper, or do something irresponsible for no apparent reason. That doesn't make us abnormal...it just makes us real. Clearly things become a problem when they interfere with health or safety or necessary functioning, and we are lucky to live in a time in which there is help for the extremes, and I don't for a minute suggest that people should be left to descend into the hell of mental illness. But some of what we used to call quirkiness is now suspected of being pathology, and I think that's a shame. How much great genius do we lose if we hold everybody to the same standards of behavior, and when should we medicate or retrain deviation from the center? Do we need to be more tender with our eccentrics? Should we learn to make the world safer for a little special nuttiness in our children or our neighbors? What do you think?? |

I draw the line at dead rats hidden in the debris in someone's house. |
I do hear you, bronwynsmom. I don't know where you draw the line between privacy and freedom vs the welfare of a child. But it's there, somewhere. |
I found the thread where I was basically told to Mind My Own Business. BTW, if this was happening in my own neighborhood I WOULD have it checked out for the sake of the children involved. |

- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 08 at 21:09
Maybe this wasn't the right thread to say those things about abnormal versus quirky...I certainly didn't mean to imply that the stories you told were anywhere near acceptable. It just made me think about it. Clearly, Neesie, you are a person who cares and thinks about ethics and citizenship. Absolutely, I'd have been very concerned in the case you described. I would even draw the line at an extreme eyesore in a well-kept neighborhood...I think that any situation that veers so far away from what is going on around it is cause for concern. The question, I think, is how you intervene. I might have been inclined to make a cake or a batch of cookies and take them over...or to host a block party and go personally to invite the family...to begin to establish a relationship. Then gradually you might be able to see what the situation actually is, and to move toward the family from a position of demonstrated kindness. Here is one of my favorite quotes, and I need to read it at least once a week, being, as I am, a person who would give advice to the cat, if only she spoke English. The wise rabbi Edwin H. Friedman said: "The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation, but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choicest words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech." |
bronwynsmom, I'm still laughing and seeing myself in your quip about giving advice to the cat! Good one! And good question about how the hoarder would be approached. The hoarder I crossed paths with was during my childhood and I was truly shocked. I was raised by Mrs. Clean and the friend that took me over to the offending home knew it and warned me. It is still a vivid memory today. One or two other instances that happened to me before I was all of 21 years of age made impressions on me that shape my housekeeping habits even today. Notice how I ran on at the mouth and never answered the question of how the hoarder should be addressed? No wonder they wanted to hang me out to dry on that other thread! I just insisted they confront the homeowners without a suggestion as to "how." I love your quote from the Rabbi. How true, how very, very true. :) Heading to bed now, with lots to think about. Good night! |
I posted about the movie a year or so ago. This type of situation is not just being quirky. It is truly pathological and I believe children should be removed. It is a horrible way to live and definitely leaves lifelong scars. Below is the link to the trailer of the movie. I would love to see the entire thing. I think if people haven't been in one of these homes, they really can't understand the situation. Gloria |

Gloria, Thank you so much for posting the link to the trailer. I would love to see the entire video too. Do you know if there is any way to do that? All I can say is WOW...It leaves me speechless otherwise. Margie |
- Posted by harriethomeowner (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 08 at 17:26
Seeing the whole movie was very much worthwhile. I don't remember if the trailer explains it, but the reason the children intervened and cleaned up the house is because the state of California was going to evict the mother and probably bulldoze the house if it wasn't cleaned up. It was a terrible health hazard to her and to her neighbors. The children first tried going out there and working with her to go through everything, but she was arguing over every little ripped up book and piece of trash, so it was impossible. It was painful to watch. At the screening, a lot of people had questions, but the mother got up there and started complaining about how she had been portrayed in the movie, and very few people had a chance to speak. |
Gloria, thanks for posting the link. Nessie - I agree, the people on that other thread were really harsh with you. |
Right on Bronswynsmom. My DH's mom was an eccentric hoarder. She was so smart, so talented but never saw dirt in her house. After she died we cleaned out her house on Cape Cod and threw away almost 200 very large trashbags full of everything and hired a junkman to remove some of the other stuff. Later a friend found some of our "stuff" on Ebay. The junkman sold us out. |

text: The CIA's drone strike program has stirred up a lot of controversy.In this program, the CIA sends unmanned plans out to bomb specific targets in an attempt to combat terrorism - aka the Taliban and Al Quaeda. While the program does seem to be causing problems for terrorists, it has also killed a good number of innocent, completely uninvolved civilians. And yet, the program continues. In fact, the number of strikes have only increased with time - though the program was the brainchild of the Bush administration, the Obama administration has latched onto it and continually upped its use.Why is this being allowed? Does this program not violate human rights by killing innocents? Though the strikes' objective may be to combat terrorism, and therefore protect human rights, we are no better than the terrorists if we blithely kill civilians along the way. War is no bed of roses. It's terrible. It's hell. Innocents will always die some way or another in its path, and some things can't be avoided. But the U.S. government knows that the drone strike program is killing civilians. They know that deaths have been reported - although how many haven't been reported, the American people don't know, due to the secrecy of the program. They know that the number of deaths has gone into the dozens.It's not worth it anymore.Stopping terrorists or not, if civilians continue to die, the program simply isn't worth it. We're stopping terrorists from killing innocents, by killing the innocents ourselves first. They won't need to bother bombing civilians - we're doing it for them. Why is this program being allowed to continue unchecked?One article that I read said that Obama wants to inspire confidence with this program, to show the American people that the government is doing something. If the government wants to show that it's "doing something" about terrorism, it should just be sending in the peace corps and showing tolerance and acceptance for all, not raining destruction down on those who have done nothing wrong.The CIA's drone strike program may be discouraging terrorists, but it's also killing uninvolved civilians - and the U.S. government knows it. Isn't this a violation of human rights? The international legality of the program has already been brought into question. What's the point of stopping terrorists if we're going to kill innocents along the way? And although the efforts of both the Taliban and the strikes seem to be focused mainly in Pakistan, strikes have also occurred in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan - less involved countries who definitely don't need the extra problems. Especially Sudan, with a possible civil war looming overhead. The U.S. government needs to reassess what it's doing. This program needs to be stopped - or at the very least, monitored far more closely. I have started a Facebook page - "Stop Civilian Death in CIA Strikes" - and written a petition against this program. The people of the world need to step up and let the U.S. government know that what it's doing is not okay. I thank God that every time a plane flies overhead, I don't have to cringe in fear.http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/help-forestall-civilian-death-in-cia-strikes

Manila Clams with Hot Soppressata and Sweet Vermouth
Habetz adopted the southern Mediterranean style of pairing spicy cured meats and shellfish while working with chef Mark Ladner at Lupa in Manhattan. Today he combines hot soppressata with Manila clams, a very common West Coast shellfish; for cooks on the East Coast, he recommends using either littleneck clams or cockles.

UPDATE: First Selectman Dan Jerram did discuss the letter from Conservation Chairperson Alison Murdock and noted that no trees have been cut at Brodie Park South and that any changes made at Brodie Park South are "miniscule and don't have any impact." […]
At the same time that the Conservation Commission members sent a letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission members regarding their concerns about this past season's use by a regional football program of Brodie Park South (see our November 21 article which included that letter), they had also submitted a letter to the Board of Selectmen.
With the Board of Selectmen's Meeting set for this evening at 7 p.m. and no agenda for that meeting having been mailed to us through this morning, our reporter made two trips down to the First Selectman's office, one at 8:10 a.m. and one at 1:15 p.m., to request a copy of the agenda, a copy of the Conservation Commission letter and also to ask whether that letter would be discussed at this evening's meeting. Both times our reporter was told that only the First Selectman knew what he would be addressing under Correspondence at this evening's meeting. Our reporter said that there were residents who would want to come to the meeting if the Conservation letter was to be discussed and the response was: "Let them come to the meeting and they'll know if it's going to be discussed!"
That is the message for the 20 or so concerned residents who showed up for the Planning and Zoning meeting yesterday evening and who would plan to attend this evening's Selectmen's meeting if they knew for sure that their issue, as represented by the Conservation Commission members, would be discussed.
So, when in doubt, we'll post it: Below is the letter from the Conservation Commission members to the First Selectman which he may or may not include for discussion by the Board at this evening's meeting:
Reporter's Note: "Unbelievable" someone exclaimed at Town Hall as our reporter left the building. And she couldn't agree more: Absolutely unbelievable to think that residents have nothing better to do than to go to meetings on the off-chance that their issue would be discussed. That's why there are agendas for meetings.

Hi all! I bought some achimenes rhizomes and am patiently awaiting their arrival. My plan is to tuck these into the "backs" of my window boxes on my balcony railing (facing me-- as opposed to facing out). I am on the north side of the apartment building, so I have relatively bright light, but very little direct sun (an hour of sun in the morning, and one in the evening *may* touch these guys). I was looking around and can't seem to find anything about the actual size of a single plant. I see height, but not width. Any ideas as to a ballpark figure for width? I got "Blue Spark" and "Peach blossom." Thanks! Julianna |

Follow-Up Postings:
It depends on how many tiny corms you bought. They will eventually fill out whatever pot you grow them in, but as for an individual plant, they each are about the size of a young tomato plant - one such as you buy in the spring as a seedling. I would pot them in pots and then put them in your window box, because the tubers migrate around the pot and they are not, in any way, cold-hardy. |
I got 12 of each one. So a pot inside the boxes? OK, I can do that. So each individual plant.. like 6" or so? I've grown tomatoes from seed for years and never bought them in the store, so seedling to me means 1" tall lol. I know it's more than that. IIRC, the store ones were like 6" or so. Thank you so much! |
No, they will get over a foot tall, in most cases. I understood your question to be 'how wide' will each plant be. I'm sure you've seen tomato seedlings for sale at the box stores - that's the size the individual plant (for each corm) will be. Massed together, they make a nice display. |
OK, yes, it was how wide. Not enough caffeine this morning to even understand my own question lol. You've totally made my day. Now I can plan better. I wanted to put them in the "backs" of my boxes which are hanging on my metal balcony railing. That means the backs face me. So i was trying to figure out how to best group the rhizomes and/or how far my 24 were going to go. I was thinking to augment bare spots with my streptocarpella-- take cuttings to fill in. Last year I did nothing and so my side of the balcony was really bare and boring. My balcony is recessed and north-facing. So these guys will get almost no direct sun, but will be mere inches from the sun line. So it will be bright, but shaded. BTW, it's nice to see you still around. I recognize your name (although i doubt you recognize me) as one of the GWers from way back (like myself). |
This post was edited by julianna on Sun, Mar 10, 13 at 10:44
Julianna - just to be accurate - they are not tubers, corms - they are RHIZOMES. I would still plant them in a window box, not into separate pots - yes - they will create new rhizomes through all the soil - but you will be harvesting them in a fall anyway - before frost - and streptocarpellas do not create rhizomes. If you want to keep your varieties separate - put some kind of a divider in a middle of you windowbox so the rhizomes won't mix. The reason - achimenes doesn't take drying at all - they turn ugly and die - and a windowbox will not dry as easy as one pot. You can pinch the tips when they have 4 sets of leaves - it will make them bushier instead of long single stemmed. You plant rhizomes when the start showing fresh growth - and do not bury them deep, just lightly cover them. The soil should be light and porous - and again - do not let your box dry. Some people add these special watering crystals to the soil. Good Luck - you should have a very pretty balcony this year. I. |
Sorry, rhizomes. I hadn't looked and made that mistake repeatedly, didn't I? I just checked and it seems they are called tubers online quite a bit. Well I won't make the mistake again. I doubt I will be saving those streptocarpella since I am simply taking cuttings off my main plant anyway. So that is not a concern. I have perennials in my boxes already, so I can't really dig around as much as I would like. I was thinking at Kay's suggestion to do an open pot sunk into the box. This way they would be open to the moisture of the box but I could contain some of the rhizomes. Bad idea though? |
Make sure that the pot you are using is large enough, put the wick through the bottom - couple of chunks of acrylic thread or a stripe cut out of old pantyhose to make sure - that the moisture from a windowbox moves to the soil in your pot just in case - and keep an eye so it stays moist always - and it will work. Good Luck Irina |
OK, thanks! That way I don't need to dig around for it in the roots of the other plants. It just seems the most simple arrangement. You've been very helpful. |
Hmm. Well, I got my rhizomes yesterday. One bag was filled with pea-sized rhizomes-- that seems small, right? Do those have a chance of blooming this year? |
It depends on the variety - some of them are bigger, some smaller. Should be blooming OK. I. |
OK, good to know! Thanks! |

(Standard Process Inc.) Wisconsin-based whole food supplement manufacturer Standard Process Inc. recently hosted chiropractic students from the Davenport, Iowa, campus of Palmer College of Chiropractic for the first time. The students, who are studying to become chiropractors, explored the Standard Process Farm and manufacturing plant to learn how Standard Process makes its nutritional whole food supplements.
"The students were able to see first-hand Standard Process' organic approach to whole foods," said Lois Kundel, Palmer senior development officer, of her experience while accompanying the students.
Palmer College of Chiropractic students tour Standard Process Inc., located in Palmyra, Wis., to learn about organic farming and whole food supplements.
The 30 Palmer visitors discovered how Standard Process applies organic farming techniques to grow crops used in Standard Process whole food supplements on the company's 450-acres of certified organic farmland. As the students followed supplements through the company's manufacturing processes, they observed the measures Standard Process takes in order to strictly adhere to the Food and Drug Administration's good manufacturing practices to ensure its products are of the utmost quality.
"Students commented that they would be telling their friends and classmates of their experience," Kundel noted. "I hope every chiropractic student has the opportunity to tour Standard Process."
Following the tour, David Barnes, Ph.D., director of research and development at Standard Process, demonstrated how nutrition can play a beneficial role within a chiropractic practice. In addition, students learned from the company's wellness chiropractors about a foundational group of products, tips on how to assess patients' nutritional deficiencies and were presented an overview of Standard Process' successful corporate wellness model by the company's wellness manager, Kevin Setnes.
"The company lives their philosophy," explained Kundel. "Every area of Standard Process emanates health and wellness."

A great morning on the Gasconade River

The morning dawned cloudy and cool, a mere 69 degrees, after several days of 90 degree plus weather. I welcomed the cool down. The day before, I had endured 11 hours of pollen filled winds and the blazing hot sun of Lake of the Ozarks, while pitching Senkos to bedding largemouth bass. Today, however, I would be accompanying Will Rollins on the Gasconade River for smallmouth bass.

Artists working in traditional media often have to adapt their workflow to their materials. With oils, for example, you typically build up your image in several layers, waiting for each one to dry. Alla prima is an artists' term for paintings where you instead create the image in a single session, adapting your technique to compensate for having to work over wet paint. The result is normally more direct and expressive.
In this downloadable video, Justin 'El Coro' Kaufman creates his own alla prima portrait in an hour and a quarter. It's an absorbing and enjoyable session, as you watch El Coro use the handful of colours on his palette to build up a supple piece of painting that captures the essence of the model.
El Coro discusses techniques like observing the planes that form the model's face and looking carefully at the colour of different areas. Artists new to painting will learn much from his way of assessing values within the painting and paying attention to colour temperature. It's this stripping down of the painting process to its fundamentals that makes this DVD compelling for anyone who paints, whether in digital or traditional media. For experienced artists, it's a useful reminder that inspires you to make your art simpler. For newer artists with an open mind, it could be a revelation.
The video is available in two editions: standard-definition or high-definition. For an extra $10, the crisper HD version has a bonus half-hour portrait session, which doesn't feature a narration.

It all began in 1997 with an entrepreneurial-minded young man who had a passion for biology, physiology and psychology. He believed that he could make a difference in peoples lives by helping them to not only lose weight in the most efficient way possible so that they could finally break thru the diet and fitness yoyo's and live a gain control of their eating & exercise habits, but also so that they could sustain this lifestyle for the long term, and live a better quality life as well.
A little about his past……Eric Viskovicz, as a young child, suffered from a challenging stuttering disorder. It left him feeling insecure, embarrassed, misunderstood, and weak. He always felt locked in his mind, as he couldn't express himself verbally the way that others could, and he had to start relying on more physical ways of communicating as his speech generally failed him. His belief is that he wasn't able to fully show the world who he was, so he had to show them, and he did this by excelling at athletics in both high school and college. He learned that he could push himself much farther than he thought, and the results were amazing. But he couldn't do it without the amazing support system of coaches that he was lucky enough to work with. It wasn't just his body, that he needed to challenge, but his mind. He needed to exercise his mind and push his behavioral patterns beyond what he perceived as his limitations. It was hard, but feeling the way that he felt in his isolated mind, was even harder.
Prior to attending College, he wanted to strengthen his resolve even more while doing something for his country…He joined the Army. He went thru basic training and put everything that he had into it. He always was a top performer and motivated others to be the same. He learned a lot in his short military career….work hard and inspire others. He carried this thru his college days where he also played college sports, and has carried it thru to this day by doing what he loves best, helping people to open their eyes to their true potential, and breaking the myths about weight loss & fitness so that they can achieve amazing results in a fraction of the time that it would take on their own. To live a passionate life, where they can achieve anything. Everything is possible.
His beginnings were meager and he started with a rucksack and a set of dumb bells, on the beach in Marina Del Rey, CA. He built Live In Fitness from nothing, but his own blood, sweat and tears, and the passion and perseverance that he learned thru his own young struggles and accomplishments.……There is nothing in the world that is better than the feeling that you get from helping others to overcome their fears. And when we teach them about how their own bodies really work, and the scientific facts behind why diets don't work, and how they can optimize their results so that the inches just drop away, and they are left with a lean, healthy, body that they are proud to live in.

Lodge P10D3 Customer Reviews
Product Code: 261-P10D3
As a retired catering chef, I would like to comment that seasoned cast iron products were the ORIGINAL non-stick pans in the kitchen. They may take another two minutes to maintain every time you use them, but who ever plans to pass down a teflon pan to the next generation? Nobody! These only last 1 to 3 years, whereas cast iron pots & pans can last many decades. Plus cast iron can go from stovetop directly into the oven - teflon usually can't. The even heating of cast iron is un-matched in the culinary world. Lodge products are high quality and reasonably priced. I currently have a small,a medium & a large skillet, 2 "corn bread" trays, a griddle/grill and a 4 quart dutch oven. I use the dutch oven for baking artisan bread and it does a superb job. I plan on buying another tonight, so I can cook 2 loaves at the same time. The lid fits snugly and has a easy to reach handle on the top. Additionally, there are two well-designed handles on opposite sides of the pot, that help you to move around this sturdy pot. Do yourself a favor from the git-go and purchase 2 extra-heavy oven mitts, so you can safely use these pots under all circumstances. These pots DO collect heat and that is one of their great characteristics, so be prepared! If you are looking for lasting satisfaction, not cheap gratification, choose cast iron & choose Lodge! By the way, if you go out to a restaurant and order blackened fish or blackened prime rib, odds are it was cooked in a large cast iron skillet!
Great for preparation of old fashion "slow cooking" dishes compare to brick oven cooking process.
Performs over and above advertising and expections.
What an excellent product at a great price. Great for cooking all my cajun dishes, jambalayas and gumbos as well as beans and other soups.

Posted on 01/19/2013 10:12:51 AM PST by 444Flyer
Although it is now digital, Newsweek celebrated President Obama's upcoming inauguration with a "cover" that calls the event "the second coming," an apparent reference to the return of Jesus Christ, The Blaze reported Friday.
A post at Twitchy called the cover "creepy," while The Blaze described it as "controversial" and questionable.
The cover highlights an article by former editor Evan Thomas, who once compared Obama to God.
Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn't felt that way in recent years. So Obamas had, really, a different task We're seen too often as the bad guys. And he he has a very different job from Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is we are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something I mean in a way Obamas standing above the country, above above the world, hes sort of God," he told Chris Matthews in 2009.
This is not the first time Newsweek has used such a theme when portraying Obama.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
My grandson calls it the egg-nog-uration.....
There is a lot of strange stuff surrounding this cat.
good points
It's Newsweek, The majority of the country will never see it
For all you mid-tribers and post-tribers, just wait till Anti-Christ comes. I'll be gone because I'm pre-trib.
What a cutie.
Not even worth the paper they aren't printed on.
Isn't the Second Coming the climax of the Apocalypse? To have the End of the World twice within as many months is unusual.
I thought the libbies didn't believe in deities....
Obama as The Second Coming?
Oh vey.
Didn't Newsweek go out of business or something?
Is he ridin Obama dirty in that photo?
Is digital toilet paper still toilet paper?
0bama and his convention denied G-d three times, and they did not follow Him in the first place.
Of course, I don't know what St. Peter will do, but I wouldn't want to be in their shoes when they leave this mortal coil.
Yeats ping.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Or you think you shook it just right and you end up with a bit of a wet spot on your undies but he is more like chit
maybe the crowds will be issued palm fronds and the bamster will ride down pennsylvania avenue on a donkey
One of the dreams of the left is to eliminate Christianity and replace it with totalitarian control. 0bama is the embodiment of their dreams.
IOW, it's the second going.
"Newsweek" is it? Never heard of it.
"the second coming," an apparent reference to the return of Jesus Christ,"
More like the Anti Christ.
One more thought. When I was a young kid, Seals and Crofts came out with a song called "King of Nothing." (1974) In reality, that is Bronco Bama.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
King James Version (KJV)
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-11
King James Version (KJV)
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
They meant it's a #2 coming.
Blech. Thanks for posting. I couldn't stomach doing it.
More likely the 2nd coming of the most evil POS POTUS in the history of the USA...his 2nd coming from HELL.
"I am the Lord thy God, Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
For me it'll be ignore-uration.
in case any of you missed the thread
Bump that.
Freaky, because he keeps accepting his followers comparing him to Jesus Christ and God. The Dems love to do it, even as they booed God and Jerusalem as Israel's capital at the Dem convention.
Look what happened to Herod, after he teamed up with Roman governor Pilate and they became 'friends' since they both wanted to crucify Jesus Christ:
Acts 12:21-23
King James Version (KJV)
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
Don't forget Poperah, confessor of the stars.
not surprising, newsweek has wanted to orgasm over their front cover for obama for a long time.
Oh no. I just got it LOL!
Riding a donkey, eh? Except with Obama being Bathhouse Barry, it is oftentimes someone riding his ass.
Are you kidding, are all those actual covers?

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. | 1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it. |
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. | 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. |
3 So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. | 3 So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. |
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that was to happen to him, came forward and asked them, "Whom are you looking for?" | 4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" |
5 They answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus replied, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. | 5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) |
6 When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground. | 6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. |

Required reading
By Carla Goodman
Want to get a handle on the best business books to read and discuss what you've read with other entrepreneurs? Maybe it's time you started a business reading group.
As one of the hottest trends going, business reading groups "are an invaluable opportunity for entrepreneurs to talk to their peers, network and bounce ideas around," says Patricia Anderson, director of sales and marketing for Berrett-Koehler Publishers Inc. in San Francisco.
Berrett-Koehler Publishers is one of two dozen publishing companies behind the Consortium for Business Literacy, an informal organization that encourages the formation of business reading groups. Here are the Consortium's guidelines for starting your own reading group:
Where: Your local bookstore might offer a meeting room you can use, or look for a meeting space at your library, community center, church or synagogue. Another option that might be easier: Rotate meetings among the members' homes or businesses.
When: Ideally, your group should meet once a month at the same day and time--say, the first Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. Depending on the number of members present and how lively the discussions become, expect meetings to last 60 to 90 minutes.
How: You'll need a facilitator--someone to open and close your meeting, encourage discussion among members, keep the discussion on track so the meeting ends on time, and review the book of the month carefully for specific discussion topics. The facilitator might be the same person each time, or you can rotate the role among members.
Who: Guest authors are one way to spice up a reading group. At Barnes & Noble's Walnut Creek, California, location, which sponsors a monthly business reading group, members frequently invite authors to discuss their works. A recent guest was Robert Mondavi, president of Mondavi Vineyards in Napa, California, and author of Harvest of Joy: My Passion For Excellence: How the Good Life Became a Great Business (Harcourt Brace, $27, 800-237-2665).
How much: Costs should include the price of the book, any printing or mailing charges for meeting notices, and refreshments. To keep costs low, encourage a local bookstore to offer a discount on your group's monthly selection. Create an e-mail list or phone tree so members can stay in touch without printing and mailing anything.
Serve simple refreshments like coffee, soft drinks and cookies. If you need more substantial fare, chip in for pizza or have a potluck dinner to spread the costs and help busy members who can't find the time to eat before the meeting.

This is a group of parishioners who visit others in nursing homes and hospitals. Our group was started by Fr. O'Donnell when he was assigned as pastor. The need existed to minister to the sick in hospitals and nursing homes and we were organized to address that need. We visit these parishioners at Mary Culver Home, Manor Grove, St. Agnes nursing homes. And in these hospitals: St . Joseph and St. John.
We meet with the group three to four times a year to offer support and prayer to our members who provide this needed service.
Christ told us that when we visit and comfort the sick, we also serve Him. The Pastoral Visitors in St. Peter Parish live Stewardship by visiting and praying with parishioners in long term care and assisted living facilities, as well as those recently discharged to rehabilitation facilities. Members bring these parishioners the comfort and compassion of Our Lord and continue His loving ministry today.
You may be interested in the St. Peter Pastoral Visitors ministry if:
· You know friends or family members in our parish community who are currently in a local hospital, long term/assisted care facility, or a rehabilitation center who would welcome parish visitors and/or be included on a prayer list.
· You feel called to be a pastoral visitor and/or prayer partner yourself.
If you have interest or questions about this service ministry, please contact Kay Komotos, 984-0054 or email@example.com
To join our group please contact:

As a Linux user, I've listened to my fair share of derision from users of other desktop operating systems, about the need to use the command-line on Linux. When confronted with such silliness, I've never been a Linux user who insists that you no longer need to use the command-line to use a Linux desktop. I've always been a user and supporter of the command-line. To me, the command-line interface has a solid home on the desktop. For many tasks it is far more efficient than the gui. To me, the command-line embodies the very purpose of computers – it allows you to do repetitive tasks very efficiently. The command-line excels at these and a GUI generally sucks at doing them. This view may be a product of the time at which I adopted Linux. In the late 90′s there were a lot of things that could only be done in Linux on the command-line. I agree that things have changed and many functions that were command-line only, are now happily served by a GUI interface. However, I've never subscribed to the view that no matter what, the GUI > the command-line. A common criticism of the command-line is that

I suggested that they should edit the video in iMovie on my macbook pro. I figured that they should be able to cope fine with it – they've used macs at school to edit video and together with the "legendary" ease of use and "just works" approach of Apple software, it should be no problem. Sadly, they never got to try. The camera I use is a Canon HG20. It has an inbuilt hard drive and records video in the AVCHD format. This is an HD video format for consumer grade cameras and is used widely in mainstream cameras by the main camera makers. I have the latest version of iMovie '11, which claims to have support for the AVCHD format. However, apparently, this support is limited and selective. Unfortunately, I have a camera that produces unsupported files. After trying to import the files into iMovie, iMovie simply says there has been an error importing the files, and would I like to make an archive of the files

Recently I purchased a MacBook Pro. Principally because I like the hardware, and can put Linux on it. However, it has also given me the opportunity to use OSX. In fact I've been using OSX quite a lot – given I've paid for it, I want to really see how it works. However, in the course of using it, I've come across a number of features of Linux and the KDE desktop that I greatly miss. If you think I'm wrong on any of the items below, please let me know – I'd love to be able to fill in some of the gaps I've found. This is my list: 1.

With a jailbroken phone, you could mount it over a wireless connection using fuse, and then sync music your music that way – but syncing an entire music collection via wifi? No thanks. In fact, Apple had made it so hard to access the iPhone over USB, that it took the virtualbox and VMware developers months to work out how to access the iPhone via USB on a Windows guest. So this left Linux iPhone users with the option of either jailbreaking their phone and using a kludgy wifi connection, or running iTunes via windows in a VM. However, thanks to some rather clever folk, there's a new solution that gives you access to a whole lot of your iPhone functions on Linux "natively". libimobiledevice libimobilevice is a project that's been around since 2007. It has now reached its 1.0.0 release. From the libimobiledevice website: libimobiledevice is a software library that talks the protocols to support iPhone®, iPod Touch® and iPad® devices on Linux.

Or the Egyptian blogger who calls himself Big Pharaoh, a twenty-seven-year-old graduate of the American University in Cairo, who expressed his support for the Egyptian culture minister who was criticized for stating that he thought the hijab, the traditional woman's head covering worn by some Muslim women, was "regressive":
"There are numerous things that make me proud of this country. How the country descended into such stupidity, ignorance, and darkness is definitely not among them. I feel like vomiting every time I think about how this man was virulently attacked for merely stating his opinion on a thing as stupid as the hair cover."
Or Laila El-Haddad, who, on her blog, Unplugged: Diary of a Palestinian Mother, describes herself as a "journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian — all packed into one," and posted this account of crossing at Rafah from Egypt back into Gaza, after waiting in limbo for weeks for the border to open:
"Some wailed in exhaustion, others fainted; still others cracked dry humor, trying to pass the time. We stood, thousands of us, packed together elbow to elbow like cattle, penned in between steel barriers on one end, and riot-geared Egyptian security guards on the perimeter, who were given orders not to allow anyone through until they hear otherwise from the Israelis — and to respond with force if anyone dared."
In the American blogosphere, opinions and life tales blossom a millionfold every day. But against the background of a largely party-line mainstream local Arab media, and the absence of avenues for national conversation, these Arab bloggers, most of whom are anonymous for their own safety, commit small acts of bravery simply by speaking their minds. It should be said that most of the people maintaining blogs do come out of the highest strata of society, economically and educationally, so their opinions can seem at times to represent no wider a circle than the upper crust of any given country. But, as Ammar Abdulhamid, a Syrian blogger who was forced into exile in September 2005 for his democracy activism, which included blogging about his eight-month interrogation by Syrian security services, put it: "There is nothing wrong with admitting that we represent a certain elite. It's not exclusively an economic elite, though economics surely plays a large factor. These are people who are comfortable, who have more time to blog. But in itself this is not the problem. The importance of this technology at this stage is to connect the elites better, to network the elites, to make them able to share more ideas and organize." The power of the medium, Abdulhamid says, will come when those bloggers find a way to "cross the bridge between the elite and the grass roots" — a process that is already beginning, through a few organized demonstrations coordinated by bloggers, online campaigns, and the posting of information about police brutality or sexual harassment.
Blogs can serve two functions: they are diaries, where the minutiae of a life are spelled out in 500-word posts, and they are a personal op-ed page, in which a writer comments at will about news articles and daily political developments, rambles in anger or appreciation, or promotes ideas. All of this happens every day on American blogs. But the context in the Arab blogosphere is different. For one thing, it is so much smaller. In the U.S., political blogs tend to split off into separate spheres of left and right that rarely touch — call them Huffingtonville and Hewittland — each with its predictable response to any political event. But the small size of the Arab blogosphere forces people with contrary opinions, or even more mildly divergent viewpoints, to engage each other. As one Arab blogger said, "We're not big enough to preach to the choir yet. There is no choir."

The United States needs to bolster, rather than limit, immigration to meet the country's increasing work force demands, the president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce told a group of business leaders in Phoenix on Wednesday.
The country has reached nearly full employment, and the business sector already is facing worker shortages at every skill level, Thomas Donohue told a receptive audience of about 100 members of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
"The United States is producing more jobs than workers, and we need immigrants to balance the equation if we are to remain an economic super power," he said at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort.
Agricultural crops were left to rot in the fields in California last year because of a lack of farm labor, while U.S high-tech firms are building facilities across the border in Canada because of a lack of engineers, he said.
Baby boomers are retiring by the millions, and there isn't a large enough younger U.S.-born population to replace the jobs left vacant, Donohue said.
Without an influx of new workers, America's standards of living will be put into jeopardy, he said.
"Some argue that if only businesses would pay workers more, we could hire Americans. But you can't pay more to workers who don't exist in the first place," he said.
The only way for the United States to maintain both its economic competitiveness and its work force is to legalize the status of an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in this country, and to create a "lawful, rational and workable immigration system," Donohue said.
He outlined a five-point approach:
• Immediately increase the number of visas issued to high-tech, seasonal and agricultural workers.
• Enact national immigration legislation, rather than conflicting piecemeal state and local laws and ordinances.
• Install border security measures and create a reliable employee verification system.
• Assist Mexico and Latin American countries in developing their economies, so their citizens won't be as compelled to enter the United States illegally.
• Expand legal immigration.
Sun Valley Masonry president Robert Baum, who attended the breakfast meeting, said he supports the U.S. Chamber's approach. His Phoenix-based company pays workers $23.50 per hour, plus benefits, but it's nearly impossible to hire U.S.-born workers, he said.
"Nobody wants to mix mud and lay blocks in 110-degree heat," he said. "The people doing the work are the immigrants."

Probiotics definitely - BIOCARE do a fantastic one called REPLETE - its expensive but worth it.
Possibly a gel to ease irritation - Natures Sunshine Silver Shield Gel is very good.

What happened to the Big Island of Hawaii's Flumin' Da Ditch tour? An update.
by: Chris Baileyposted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 at 10:57 AM
While the legalities of the transition are complicated, trustees have been selected and legal counsel hired to aid in the process. Surety Kohala aims to have a secondary role in the Kohala Ditch.
"It's a great opportunity for the community to acquire something that was previously in private hands," says Shontell.
Of course, taking over the Kohala Ditch will be a responsibility. Moving forward, the fledgling nonprofit is concerned with finding a steady stream of revenue so it can maintain the ditch.
One potential source of money is ecotourism. Flumin' Da Ditch was a major source for ditch maintenance and an economic boon for the area. In its heyday, the ride accommodated as many as 22,000 visitors a year.
In an ironic twist, the last remnant of Flumin' Dat Ditch's parent company Kamuela Kayak Co.—a van that once ferried guests to the Flumin' Da Ditch ride—was purchased in a post-bankruptcy fire sale by Surety Kohala. It now hauls Surety workers to the ditch site.
A few individuals have shown interest in restarting the tours, says Flynn. Unfortunately, bringing the ride back isn't as simple as purchasing a couple of kayaks. Further geological surveys must be conducted, and legal hurdles cleared. At this point it's too early to tell when and if the Flumin' operation will return.
"To recreate that experience would be neat, but none of this will work if we don't make the ditch work for agriculture," says Flynn.
The group is mainly focused on keeping North Kohala an agriculturally viable part of the Big Island. The Kohala Ditch Steering Committee has supported the development of the Hoea Agricultural Park—a verdant 500-acre stretch of land that will provide space for farmers to grow crops and raise livestock without the large overhead of doing it independently.
Lance Caspary has become the poster boy for the new agriculture park, the first of hopefully many local farmers who will utilize the acreage. His Kohala Crawfish Farm once specialized in raising prawns and crawfish, as well as other items that required a constant flow of water to thrive, including ornamental fish and taro.
Caspary's business became an instant casualty of the earthquake. At the time of the quake he raised about 60,000 prawns. Caspary is now struggling to maintain a single brood in a humble quarter-acre pond.
"I'm not even sure this is going to last, to tell you the truth," he says, on the lookout for toads and dragonfly larvae. Both species are natural predators of prawns. "We're still hard at work. It's not a done deal."
Still, the prospect of an agriculture park has given him a fresh start. Despite the uphill battle, Caspary—much like the community—remains optimistic. He stands over his pond and knows how far he's come. He's got water.
"This is good. This is great. This is awesome," he says.
UPDATE, Jan. 2009:
We're happy to report that the Kohala Ditch's water flow is now as vigorous as it has ever been. Says Cheri Gallo of the the Kohala Ditch Steering Committee, "The ditch is running strong. It's full of water to the very end."

Answered by
Sheikh Sâmî al-Mâjid
The forbidden view is one of the poisoned arrows in Satan's arsenal. It goes straight to the heart and fires up base desires.
This is why a Muslim should always be vigilant to lower his gaze. If he sees something enticing, he should not take a second look. We are forgiven the first glance at something, since we really cannot avoid that, and trying to do so would cause us great hardships in our daily lives. However, we are not allowed to keep looking.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "O `Alî, do not take a second look. As for the first sight of something, that is all that's allowed. The second glance is not." [Sunan al-Tirmidhî (2777) and Sunan Abî Dâwûd (2149) – It is a good (hasan) hadîth on account of its supporting narrations]
We might not take the matter seriously enough. We might think: "Certainly, looking at a picture on the screen is only a minor sin. It's the kind of sin that gets erased by our prayers and our seeking Allah's forgiveness."
This is true from the perspective of Islamic Law. Taking a second look at a picture cannot be counted as anything more than a minor sin. However, we should not be so short-sighted as to underestimate the danger of this sin. We must measure the danger of looking at these pictures against their long-term consequences.
These pictures can have a pronounced effect on a person's heart and mind. Once someone gives in to looking at them, his heart starts pining. This leads to addiction. Many people are addicted to pornography in this way.
Once this happens, there is no more talking about "minor sins". Once a person persists in a minor sin long enough to make it a habit, it becomes a major sin. It is no longer something that our daily good deeds wipe away. It becomes a serious problem.
Worse still, looking at pornography leads a person to want more than pictures. It leads a person to want the real thing. This is a way that many good young people have fallen into fornication.
You need to be vigilant and determined. Make a decision not to fall into this trap again. You need to confront the pictures that are sent to your inbox with a lot more resolve, and delete them as soon as you realize what they are. Do not even give them a chance to tempt you.
To my knowledge, most e-mail providers, even free ones, give you the option of filers to screen out a lot of that junk. You should, as soon as possible, apply these filters to block as much of these messages as you can. Whatever makes it to your inbox, you should delete immediately. Do not let those pictures become your master.
Dear brother, all of us make mistakes – but the best of those who make mistakes are the ones who sincerely repent.
Then take heed of what our Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Follow up an evil dead with a good deed and it will blot it out." [Sûnan al-Tirmidhî (1987)]

Some of you may know that last June 30th the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago was trashed during a monster hail storm we had leaving much of the hundred year+ old greenhouses with a lot of damage. Some reports saying that something like 40% of the glass was broken during the storm. You can see pictures and video of the damage on their website(linked below).
If you're near by, come and buy some plants to help fund repairs or if not, go to the website and donate some money if you can. Plant Rescue Sale!
Come adopt a plant, take home a piece of living history, and donate to the rebuilding of the Conservatory, all at the same time. Many of the plants that would be stored in the Propagation Greenhouses damaged in the June 30th hail storm now need new homes! Tropical trees, plants, succulents, and perennials from the Conservatory and grounds will be sold out of the Market Place in this one-day-only sale. The sale begins at 9am and will continue until 2pm (or until all plants are sold). Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your plant care questions. http://www.garfieldconservatory.org/ |

Howdy. I remember the hail storm. Second storm that caused major damage the last 10-15 years. Will you be going? Toni |
OMG - I hadn't realized how serious the damage was. I just might go there since that is where I proposed to my wife. Whatever we can do to help. I can give the plants back once the repairs are done (or propogate them). |
Yeah it was horrible. I drove past the Conservatory two days after the storm and it was easy to see all the damage. Since I work with glass I offered to volunteer to help clean up but they told me their insurance provider insists that they have professional contractors do it. |
I just wanted to bump this back up to remind anyone interested in the fundraiser. Danny |

Healthy Snack: Apples and almond butter
Friday, August 15, 2014
With the start of a new school year upon us, things are about to get busy. Keep it simple at snack time with this tried and true healthy snack option: apples and almond butter.
Almond butter makes a great alternative to peanut butter with its higher content of vitamin E, magnesium and iron. Both nut butters offer a good dose of protein, healthy fats and dietary fiber.
If you're a dyed-in-the-wool peanut butter-lover, not to worry. Peanut butter is also a healthy option, so long as you avoid the brands that add sugar, hydrogenated oils, preservatives and other additives.
Remember that apples are No. 1 on the "Dirty Dozen" list of conventional produce items with the highest pesticide content, so buy organic when possible. You can buy almond butter by the jar, or look for it in these undeniably convenient little packets which will make packing your child's lunch a breeze.

David is away on his first business trip of the year. He was away once last year. Funds were tight apparently but this year he is scheduled to travel quite frequently. We are thankful for Skype. This is a photo of the children talking to Daddy tonight. David is in Alabama for meetings and was able to travel to see his Mom. He hasn't seen her in over a year. He was thrilled to have this opportunity. We were hoping to make the trip but it just wasn't possible so we'll try for a summer trip.
Technology is cool and such a blessing!
On a different note, I have updated our Photo Gallery page.
Hope you enjoy taking a look.

Howto make the perfectly smooth flour tortillas at home. Very simple and easy recipe. You will probably have all the ingredients in your cupboard. For a healthier version you can substitute white flour with whole wheat flour, and vegetable oil with olive oil. I just preferred to share with you the traditional recipe to obtain the authentic tortilla taste.

"I ordered this stationary for myself as a thank you I love the colors and the sweetness of the design. The card quality is lovely."
"Although the card is gorgeous and the quality is outstanding when I ordered the card even though I checked for a designer review I received my card and noticed a misspelled word. Granted, I missed it, but so did they. I won't check the designer box anymore because it really doesn't do any good. Disappointed in the customer service/designer review."
"This is the cutest card ever!!! Such a beautiful use of Gold and Pink, which matched my daughter's party theme perfectly!!!"
"I LOVE this post card, it is beautiful and quality is top notch! I wish the card said "Thank you" as that is just what I prefer, "Thanks" sounds as if one is too busy to take more time for the proper "Thank you." ...At the price point I would order the card, again and again. THANK YOU, Tinyprints."
"Easy to use the site and delivery was well ahead of expected timeline. I did replace the studio picture with one of my own but it was well rendered by Tiny Prints. Doing it again and listening to wife's advice, I would omit the "Thank You" and make the card more generic for multiple occasion usage in addition to simply thanks."

Hyperion G3 VX 11.1V 3S 2200mah 35C/65C Lipo Hyperion Generation 3 Lithium Polymer Packs are proving truly revolutionary in both performance and value. Compared to an average of the batteries on market last year, they provide up to up to 4x more cycles under the same discharge conditions. And that makes them a bargain price-wise. But they also deliver the highest voltage and flattest discharge curves under load that we have ever seen, which makes them the best performer you can buy. And tests have shown that at the 70%-discharged point in flight, they are delivering as much as 40% more power than previous generation LiPo. The fact that they can be safely charged at up to 5C rates - for charge times as low as 10 to 12 minutes - is just icing on a very tasty cake. The G3 packs are made with a new Hybrid RS construction technology, super-fine substrate materials, rigorous ISO 9001 Quality Control, and final cell matching process, which all guarantee you not only this superb performance, but also tightly balanced and long-lasting packs. The G3 "VX" 35C series is the battery for applications that need the highest possible voltage maintained at high discharge rates; for example highly aerobatic 3D airplanes and helicopters, competition gliders, pylon racers, and some EDF jets.

BIM's Window of Opportunity
With a major building information modeling platform embracing acoustics and more, the time is right to build new bridges between AV and architecture. AV consultant Thom Mullins, CTS, explains what it will take.
Assuming we have the technological capability to share, that is. One of the Revit Ecotect images I saw recently showed lighting levels in a model. It looked remarkably like the plots of direct-field loudspeaker coverage we might find in EASE or Modeler. Are either of those programs ready to interface with Revit or Ecotect to transfer information back and forth? How easy will it be to bring data from an acoustical modeling package into Revit for presentation to a client, or to assist in adapting the architecture? Pushing the point even further, will it be possible to enter pertinent data about a projector, a projection screen, and an audience viewing plane into such a program in order to accurately predict how an audience will perceive an image? Will we be able to predict contrast ratio for any seat in the house?
You might say, "No, we can't do that," but you can bet owners and architects will want that information. They'll want us to demonstrate, in a model of their room, the differences in image quality between two projection technologies on a variety of screens. Are projector manufacturers up to providing that? How about projection screen manufacturers? Ecotect is able to generate a model of radiance in a space-basically how light is reflected in a room based on ambient light and the reflectance properties of materials. The AV industry must be able to feed meaningful information into those models.
The hope is we can eventually make it easy to transfer information back and forth between our modeling programs and BIM programs. Already, albeit with some headache and adequate file preparation beforehand, we can get bring a 3D DXF file into EASE, but it is neither easy nor intuitive. A Revit model consists of complex objects that must be blown up, sifted through, and reduced to the essential information needed by EASE. Otherwise, you can end up spending hours in EASE trying to sort out what stays and what doesn't.
It happened to me recently on a high school auditorium project. I spent close to a day-and-a-half wrestling with data before I found an approach that worked well: EASE recently came out with the ability to import a Sketch Up model. But much longer will it take to create a smooth interface with BIM software? AFMG, Bose, and Odeon need to step forward and show what we're capable of after all these years. We in AV have a lot of experience to share.
We'll make it, I'm sure. But there's going to be a lot of groaning in the meantime.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Eclipse!
Facts about Eclipse
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Eclipse's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Eclipse is a beautiful boy kitten and very lovable. He is waiting for his forever home.
Other Pets at Catbout Colonies, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Eclipse, a Orlando Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Orlando, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.
