Is This a Miracle Tree? Not Really – It's Just the Result of Amazing Design!
Posted by jlwile on February 24, 2012
Moringa oleifera (commonly called the "drumstick tree") is probably one of the most useful plants on earth. It's leaves and flowers are eaten in many parts of the world. When its fruit is still developing, it can be cooked in a variety of ways. Even its roots can be eaten. These parts of the tree are rich in iron, minerals, proteins, and vitamins B and C. Its seeds produce an oil that can be used for both cooking and lubrication, and to top it all off, the tree is very hardy. It withstands significant droughts, making it easy to grow and maintain. Finally, unlike many trees, it matures very quickly. It usually bears fruit during its first year of growth, which means it can be used as a very productive crop.1 It's no wonder that some sources call it "the miracle tree."It seems that the usefulness of the drumstick tree doesn't end there, however. Back in 1987, Madsen and colleagues found that if you crushed the seeds of the drumstick tree into muddy water, the water would not only clear up, but it would also be free of most of the bacteria that were originally there.2 As a result, they suggested that the seeds of the drumstick tree could be used to purify water in third-world countries where no other means of water purification existed. Since drinking bacteria-laden water is a leading cause of death in many third-world countries, this could be a major benefit in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, carrying around the seeds and crushing them into water is fairly inefficient if you want to clean water on a large scale.
Eventually, the "active ingredient" that produces the water-purifying properties of the drumstick tree was identified. It turned out to be a series of proteins that are fairly small (as proteins go, in any case) and have a strong, positive charge.3 These proteins were dubbed "MOCP," which stands for "Moringa oleifera coagulant proteins." In February of 2010, the journal Current Protocols in Microbiology published a step-by-step procedure by which MOCP could be extracted from the seeds of the drumstick tree to make it easier to use.4 All of this represented great progress, but the question still remained: How can we most effectively use MCOP so that it becomes a cheap, efficient means of water purification?
That question might have been answered.
A team of engineers from Pennsylvania State University has recently published a paper in which they added MCOP to negatively-charged sand. Remember, the proteins are positively-charged, so the team assumed that they would bind to the sand, turning it into a "functionalized sand," which they dubbed "f-sand." They were correct. When they treated water that was cloudy and full of pathogens with f-sand, they found that the water became significantly more clear and was free of pathogens.5 In the end, then, water purification in many third-world countries might take a giant leap forward now that we know how to efficiently and effectively use the bounty of the drumstick tree.
Now all of this seems like a lot of work. Trees will need to be grown, the MOCP will need to be extracted from the seeds, and then it will have to be added to sand to make f-sand. Why don't we just make it all from scratch? Because we can't. Even though we can determine that MOCP is the "active ingredient" for water purification, and even though we can extract it and use it, we can't make it for ourselves. Why? We haven't even fully characterized MOCP yet, much less figured out how to make it for ourselves. This quickly-growing tree, however, can make it very easily. This is a common theme in the study of Creation. Time and time again, nature puts our best technology to shame. Everything we can make with all our sophisticated equipment and knowledge looks like primitive child's play when compared to the marvels of creation!
So is this tree a miracle tree? No. It is simply another example of the amazing design that exists throughout God's creation. God has engineered for us a planet that meets our needs incredibly well. The more we look to His engineering, the more we will find solutions to the problems that we face.

Dr. Wile, Thank you for the article! I'm still unsure as to how exactly these proteins are able to clear the water of impurities. Is it because of their positive charge? If so, wouldn't adding it to the negatively charged sand neutralize this property? If not the charge, what other properties of this protein cause it to act this way? What happens to the bacteria and impurities? Do they settle to the bottom? Do they get physically or chemically altered? Thanks!
Dr. Wile, thanks for the interesting article. It reminds me of the story in Exodus 15:25 when God told Moses to throw a tree into the bitter water to make it sweet. I can't help but think there might be a possible connection here.
Hmm. While that would be reasonable and all, it's sort of akin to saying that something in the cellulose of Moses' staff caused water to come out of the rock… Just speculation, but I think that rather than being an early water filter, it probably just had to do with faith. The "If you do what I'm telling you to do, no matter how silly it seems at the time, you'll be fine." idea. On the other hand, you may have a point. Some commands DID have practical applications, like when the Hebrews were commanded not to eat pork, which seems silly until one realizes the severity of trichinosis. I'm just not sure if a tree would cure the water for a whole horde of thirsty Israelites? It would make an interesting study.

GUWAHATI: A Tangkhul folk and blues balladeer from Manipur and a Naga choir conductor will pay tribute to music maestro Bhupen Hazarika at the India International Centre in New Delhi on February 18.
A spokesperson of Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research (C-NES), which is bringing the singers together with the India International Centre in a musical evening to pay tribute to the legendary singer, said, "The singers will perform some of Hazarika's repertoire as well as their own compositions. The performance is on February 18 at the IIC main auditorium."
Hazarika, who died on November 5, had touched the chords of not jus his home state but also the northeast as a whole through his compositions. The performers include Hazarika's nephew, Mayukh, his wife Lailee Dutta-Hazarika, a team of musicians from Guwahati and Rabindra Kalita, executive director (marketing), Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. Kalita is a well-known amateur singer in Assamese, the spokesperson said.
"From Nagaland will come the singing ambassadors under Lipokmar Tzudir. The have performed across India, singing 19th and 20th century choral compositions," the spokesman added. Tzudir is a recipient of the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi's Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar in creative arts category for excellence in choir music.
"The 'father' of Naga blues Rewben Mashangva, who has revived the musical traditions of his Tangkhul community, is from Manipur. He will be accompanied by his son, Saka," he said. Rewben, who is influenced by Bob Dylan and reggae icon Bob Marley, has not only revived the rich folk traditions of the Tangkhuls, but reworked on tribal musical instruments to suit the Western tonal scale.
"The program is part of C-NES's sustained efforts to bring different aspects of the northeastern region, including its cultures, to the knowledge and understanding of larger audience across the country," the spokesperson said.

Each year at Christmas, Paul Tudor Jones orchestrates a holiday spectacular on his front lawn, spreading cheer far and wide. People travel from all over to see the display (set to music) and the tradition, which last two full weeks, is much cherished among the residents of Greenwich. As discussed last week, Jones-A-Palooza 2010 is expected to "rival those of past years," with the possibility for Rockettes, chicken and PTJ dressed as the big man. Anyone who goes will surely have their mind blown and all are welcome, free of charge because Tudor is a very generous man. And yet, according to one Greenwich elected official, he's not giving enough when it comes to celebrating the birth of Christ. Read more »
What Could Paul Tudor Jones Possibly Have Planned For His Christmas Spectacular This Year?
By Bess LevinAs many of you may be aware, some of us intimately, each year Paul Tudor Jones holds a Christmas spectacular on his front lawn in Greenwich, Connecticut. Open to the public, it's become a favorite event for children and adults of all ages, far and wide. After being forced to cancel his Halloween extravaganza this year, as a result of neighbors who lack any heart, some worried that PTJ's Christmas show would suffer the same fate. Well worry no longer. This thing is on, and that's not all. Read more »
This year, you might be getting an i-Pad but it'll be handed to you in a plastic bag or not wrapped at all. Rosenberg doesn't want people jump to conclusions or freak out but this news could indicate several things and the neurotics among us should feel free to read into it meaning:
a) You significant other (mother, father, brother, sister, work BFF) doesn't know where to buy tape.
b) Your significant other wanted to wrap your gift but freaked out when he/she couldn't find the perfect paper, had a meltdown in the middle of the store and screamed "fuck it! I can't even do this!" and decided to go bare.
c) Your significant other (mom, dad, brother or work BFF) is a cheap bastard.
d) Your significant other knows how much you like prettily wrapped gifts (bows especially) and is doing this to send a message that he/she can no longer stand the sight of you, and it's over. Read more »
The Wall Street Journal's Alan Murray went up to CT last night to check out the Paul Tudor Jones Christmas Extravaganza Light ShowTM. He encountered a bit of opposition from the cops patrolling the scene. Having made the same trip last year, I can empathize, and also throw out the question, when you're putting on the most insanely garish (but awesome!) Christmas show in Greenwich, second only to the manager who has his beset analysts put on their own version of the Rockettes on the front lawn, can you really expect people to NOT TAKE PICTURES?
Last week came the devastating (and, in all seriousness, surprising) news that as a result of the recession, Greenwich's Christmas lights display would likely be taking a hit this year, having only raised $30,000 for a display that costs a minimum of $45,000 to put on, if we're talking bare bones, $60,000 if we want it done up right. 2,000 letters had been sent out, begging for more money, to no avail. Though we ourselves didn't want to admit it, it was obvious that things were not looking good. But then first Selectman Peter Tesei made this statement:
"I'm sure that some angel will come down to provide the money to put them up," Tesei said. "I'm optimistic that will happen."
At first it seemed like the deluded talk of a crazy man but then we were like, hey wait a second, Pedro is right! Greenwich is filled with angels who could easily write a check. Tall ones, short ones, crazy ones, kingly ones! We figured one of them had to have wired the money after hearing the story and called up the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce earlier to find out who it was. You want to know who it was?
Think the worst is over? Think again. Greenwich, CT is probably going to be forced to cut back on its Christmas lights this year, having only raised $30,000 for a display that costs a minimum of $45,000 to put on, if we're talking bare bones, $60,000 if we want it done up right. Over 2,000 letters have been sent out begging for more money, so far to no avail, while organizer Mary Ann Morrison is already saying she may have to get rid of lights entirely on long stretches of Greenwich Avenue (this is not simply a matter of dimming). And yet, first Selectman Peter Tesei seems unconcerned about the whole thing.
"I'm sure that some angel will come down to provide the money to put them up," Tesei said. "I'm optimistic that will happen."
Given that the bank is flush with cash and doesn't much care what the public thinks of them (except when it comes to kittens), this obviously has nothing to do with fear of populist outcry or certain pissant Rolling Stone writers with vivid imaginations. Rather, this is coming from the top, as in The Big Man. Now that it's out in the open re: who Lloyd Blankfein and Co. work for, there's no need to tip-toe around why Christmas is the first to go. For anyone considering funding an event with colleagues, as previously mentioned, you can forget that, they're also not happening (think this is a joke? Lloyd and his secret police force– the GSS– will be checking every employee's house for trees and egg nog). For the Masters of the Universe upset about missing out on a company-funded opportunity to spend extra time with people you despise over booze, do not fear. A gala Purim party is being planned for next year.

Crescendo of Awesomeness
There Are Now Two Things In Greenwich That Are Visible From The Moon
By Bess LevinHint: neither of them look as good up close as they do far away. You guys can figure out the first one. The second one is the Paul Tudor Jones Light ShowTM, which we checked out last night on the way to my close personal friend SC's house for the first night of Hannukah. Video would've captured the thing better but then you would've heard me mouthing off to the cop and we couldn't have that, so photos it is. Re the blurry ones: apparently a 15,000 bulb Christmas spectacular, synced up to Carol of the Bells, which lights from the bottom of the top and proceeds to flash over and over getting progressively brighter, replete with fake snow and a squadron of local police, much to the chagrin of an otherwise staid gated community is all good, but taking pictures of said display? Verboten. No matter. We'll be back next year, provided the tip we dropped in the suggestion box (Vegas show girls as elves) is at least considered.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the Euro Area increased 0.5% in January to 92.8 (2004 = 100), following a 1.7% fall in December and a 1.8% drop in November. "If sustained, the 0.5% rise in The Conference Board LEI for the Euro Area in January may signal an inflection point in the recession, but still not a turning point," said Jean-Claude Manini, Conference Board Senior Economist for Europe. "The expansionary policy mix currently in place may favor a rebound during the second half of 2009, but history suggests that the combination of traditional recessions and financial crises often lead to subdued recoveries." Despite the increase in January, the LEI for the Euro Area remains on a general downtrend since June 2007, falling by more than 14% since then. The group said that a previous decline of this magnitude preceded the region's 1992-93 recession. Meanwhile, The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index (CEI) for the Euro Area, a measure of current economic activity, rose by 0.2% in January to 104.5 (2004 = 100), according to preliminary estimates, after falling 0.4% in December and 0.3% in November. The CEI for the Euro Area has been trending downward since February 2008.

Community nonprofits receive financial boost thanks to state consumer protection cases
SEATTLE – Programs to help Washington homeowners avoid foreclosure and improve the lives of mental health patients and those suffering from gastrointestinal diseases were recently awarded grants by the Attorney General's Office.
The money was paid by defendants in consumer protection cases. Court-ordered agreements permit the funds to be used to benefit the public as a whole where it isn't practical to allocate restitution to individuals.
Wells Fargo/Wachovia Settlement – to Help Homeowners
The Washington Attorney General's Office served on the executive committee that negotiated an October 2010 agreement with Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo purchased Wachovia and acquired its subsidiary, Golden West, at the end of 2008. The states claimed that "Pick-A-Pay" loans offered by the banks violated consumer protection laws because they expose borrowers to substantial economic risks that weren't adequately disclosed. Funds from the settlement will benefit:
Geodon Settlement – to Promote Mental Health
Attorneys general reached a $33 million multistate settlement with Pfizer, Inc., in September 2009 related to the drug company's alleged improper marketing of the antipsychotic drug, Geodon. Washington awarded its share of the restitution money, $790,000, to the following programs to promote mental health:
Activia Settlement – to Promote Nutrition and Diagnosis/Treatment of Gastrointestinal Diseases
Attorneys general reached a $21 million settlement with Dannon in December 2010 that resolved allegations of illegal marketing of it Activia yogurt and DanActive dairy drink. The Washington Attorney General's Office awarded its restitution money to:
Earlier this year, the Attorney General's Office granted $1.57 million from a settlement with Seroquel manufacturer AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals to public mental health programs. The agency also obtained $772,000 in the Intelius settlement, which was paid to the state general fund.

Hybrid Gas Mileage Good? Bad? As Expected?
bobw3 Posts: 2,997"Gas consumption is based more on throttle position than engine rpm. "
Why? All that the throttle position does is increase RPM. That's why I'm confused. Regardless of the gearing, for ever revolution of the engine, the gas is sprayed into the cylinder, and spark plugs fire. So for any given revolution of the engine, the same amount of gas is sprayed into the cylinders, regardless of whether you're at idle or climbing a hill.
Or does the fuel injectors spray a greater quantity of gas into the pistons if the engine is under a load?? That would be the only way that the extra load would mean more gas is used for a constant RPM.
My understanding is that it's only the increased RPM that makes gas usage higher. And I'm not talking about MPG...miles per gallon, but gallons used per revolution.
The mpg at idle is zero, but I'm trying to calculate how much gas is actually expended at idle, so I'm calculating a gallon per RPM. -
rorr Posts: 3,630"All that the throttle position does is increase RPM."
But how do you think it increases rpm?
Increased throttle position increases the amount of fuel/air injected into the cylinder, hence more torque is generated, and the rpm increases (assuming there is no load on the engine keeping it from increasing in rpm).
"So for any given revolution of the engine, the same amount of gas is sprayed into the cylinders, regardless of whether you're at idle or climbing a hill."
Forget hills/idle/etc. Picture two identical cars, identical gearing, identical EVERYTHING, both driving down a level road at the same exact vehicle speed and engine rpm. Since both cars have the same engine rpm, they should both be getting the same mileage, right?
But what if car 'A' is pulling a 5000 lb. trailer? Under your theory, they are identical vehicles with identical engines turning identical engine rpm so they should get the same mileage.....do they? -
rorr Posts: 3,630"...putting more gas into the cylinders to get the same power to get the same rpm."
Almost there.
You put more gas into the cylinders to get MORE power at the same rpm.
Torque (and by extension, horsepower) is not fixed at a particular rpm. When you look at a dyno sheet which plots torque (or hp) vs. rpm, these curves are always based on WOT (Wide Open Throttle) conditions. A dyno sheet of power vs. rpm would look much different (same basic shape but lower power/torque) at part-throttle conditions.
In other words, a particular engine at 2000 rpm is NOT always developing 'x' amount of torque (or hp); it varies depending on throttle position. The reason why car 'A' must dip further into the gas when towing that 5000 lb. trailor is because, at 2000 rpm, more torque is needed to lug that trailer around.
"So how do you calculate how much gas is spent when idling?"
I've absolutely no idea. You would have to get your hands on the data used to program the engine management computer in your particular car to determine how the programmed fuel flow rate was set for idle conditions.
You could approximate this (if you just really REALLY had to know):
1. Fill your tank and drive home.
2. With the car in the driveway, top off the tank from a gas can.
3. Idle the car for some set length of time (the longer the time, the more accurate the calculation).
4. At the end of the time interval, shut off the car and re-top off the tank keeping track of exactly how much fuel used. This should give you an idea of the gallons/hr fuel flow rate at idle.
If you do this in a garage, make sure you leave the garage door open. :surprise:
Of course, this will all prove somewhat difficult to do with a hybrid for obvious reasons..... -
bobw3 Posts: 2,997Thanks for the info. I don't know why I'm so curious, but I just am. One more thing. Why does the RPM in the engine increase when you step on the gas? You said, "You put more gas into the cylinders to get MORE power at the same rpm." So that makes me think that when you press the gas, the engine RPS would remain the same, but they don't?
rorr Posts: 3,630" So that makes me think that when you press the gas, the engine RPS would remain the same, but they don't?"
Good question.
Back to the car going down the road at 2000 rpm (at, say, 50 mph). The car will require SOME amount of hp to just maintain 50 mph (say 25hp). Which means that, AT THAT throttle position, at 2000 rpm, the engine is developing 25hp.
Then you step on the gas. More fuel/air goes into the cylinder and AT 2000 rpm, the engine is now making more torque, and hence more power (perhaps now it is making 75hp).
That additional 50hp must DO something. The added force applied to the top of the piston is translated into additional torque by the crankshaft. That additional torque is transmitted via the tranny/axles to the wheels where the added torque accelerates the vehicle (F=ma or Force = mass x acceleration).
If the car was on level road and the power requirements to maintain speed was 25hp and now the engine is developing 75hp, then the excess power is used to accelerate the vehicle. RPMs increase.
If the car has started up a hill, then the power requirements to maintain speed may increase from 25hp to 75hp. So, the gas pedal goes down, until the engine is now making 75hp. Since the energy produced is balanced by the energy requirements, there is no excess power and the speed remains the same.
I hope this helps. -
stevedebi LAPosts: 3,863"As for the 35 MPG figure, that's one or a few drivers who are not trained for hypermiling and in fact could probably CARE LESS what MPG they get driving the car - it's not their car or their money paying for the gas. They probably drove the car without even knowing there is a way to keep in in EV mode for as long as possible. That one little test of MPG has no bearing on how real drivers who own the car and learn the car over time can perform MPG-wise.
Any uneducated driver can get into a Hybrid and produce bad results. But if they OWN the car and are paying for the gas out of their OWN POCKETS and the car payment out of their own pockets, they are smart to learn to maxmize the MPG of the car using the tools provided by Toyota."
Pardon me if this is an obvious question, but if a driver can achieve good numbers by following Toyota guidance (as perceived by the efficiency displays in the Prius), why can't Toyota program the Prius computer to make those same efficiency decisions?
I realize that some of the techniques are driver only (timing the stoplights, for example), but EV mode? Why not at least put in a button to allow the user to force the car into better MPG? -
hybriddriver1 Posts: 1Careful driving - no hard acceleration in city and under 65mph highway: over 30mpg
Normal driving - some hard acceleration in city, under 75mph highway: 27 - 28 mpg
Extreme driving - Aggressive acceleration in city, 80mph and up highway: 22mpg
Conclusion: even driving this vehicle very hard, my Ford Escape Hybrid can give fuel economy better than the Ford Escape XLT, which according to Ford is a similar driving experience from the point of view of acceleration etc. The Escape Hybrid is probably a little less sporty, in truth, but it does feel to me much quicker than the Honda CRV AWD I drove previously (which gave me under 20mpg in hard driving, by the way).

hot_georgia Posts: 51I just crossed 60K miles with my 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid last month. Zero trouble with it so far, and had regular scheduled maintenance.
Mileage report:
Lifetime average is just under 60MPG.
2004 I was learning my new car and how to maximize efficiency and averaged mid 50's.
2005 Fine tuned what I was doing and applied it to rediculous measures and averaged 65MPG. Had one tank go 941 miles and calculated to 69.2MPG.
2006 Driving more "normal" now and mostly freeway. Still average 57-58MPG and +700mile tanks this winter.
Spring is here with warmer temps and had a couple 60MPG tanks.
I live in N.Georgia in the "foothills of the foothills" of the Blue Ridge mountains. I drive non-rush hour traffic.
The car have been nothing less than fantastic. -

Unfortunately it looks like summer is coming to end, for those of us with limited outdoor space that presents even more challenges. My balcony receives no direct sunlight from november until march, the only light it gets is the sunlight that�s reflected off the huge white apartment building across the alley. Although there is no direct sunlight it is still bright enough to create shadows. I know that my passionflower and kumquat tree will have to reside in the warmth of my apartment but what about lingonberry bushes, lavender and elderberry bushes? All in containers. Will they be OK staying outside with no direct sunlight during the winter? I�m planning on bunching the pots together and insulating with bubble wrap next to a warm wall. |

I can't see why not some of them would do well...Are all those plants going into dormancy anyway? Good luck..I hear you on the sun thing..I hate it Mike |
When it comes to dormant plants in containers, light is not the issue... the issue is keeping them from freezing since they don't have the protection of growing in the ground. |
I would like grow hydrangea in containers on my deck. If I bring them indoors and put them in a 50 degree cellar which gets no sunshine, will they do ok? do they need some sunshine while dormant? |

On Tuesday, February 3, due to a special event being held in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center, there will be no public tours of the Capitol. The Capitol Visitor Center will be closed all day except for individuals on official business and people going to the House and Senate Visitor Galleries.
In the 1950s the United States and the Soviet Union both began programs for manned and unmanned scientific missions into space. Spurred by the Soviets' successful 1957 launch of the unmanned Sputnik 1 satellite, Congress initiated the U.S. civilian space program. Winning the space race became a political, scientific, and security priority, intensified after President John F. Kennedy and Congress set a national goal of being first to send an astronaut to the moon.
I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth.
President John F. Kennedy, "Urgent National Needs" Speech, May 25, 1961

Getting More Done in Less Time
There area new ways to change your thinking to get more done in less time without being exhausted, depleted and overwhelmed. You can be a stellar employee and still go home and be cheerful in your non-work environment. You can experience more meaning and impact in this amazing life.
When we think the thought there's not enough time, we trigger a fight or flight response. It's a gift to warn us when we're in danger. It allows us to react without thinking, which is great when you're in actual danger.
However, research shows that many of us spend 80 percent of our time in fight or flight. We're not in danger but we're reacting without thinking. Anytime we think a thought that we don't have enough, or that we're under attack (think of work) the response is the same: fight or flight. We are in stress-mode all day. Which causes us to lose focus, problem solve and collaborate and be creating. All we do is problem solving. Those thoughts take us in the opposite direction from where we want to go.
Three simple steps:
1. Notice the trigger thoughts and pause. Just pause. Stop. Yes, stop. It will clear your head and focus your thoughts.
2. Replace your thoughts. Instead of entertaining the thoughts of "there's never enough time" with thoughts that will serve you. Start to think, "there is enough time." By thinking this you're calmer, clear, peaceful and less stressed. Your focus is better. You treat the people around you better.
3. Make a language shift. What do you "have" to do today, not what you should do. What you have to do today is breathe, drink some water, eat (though we could survive without food for a while). You may be thinking "But if I don't do I need to do today, I lose my house, job… " Even so, that's still a choice. Brain research shows us that every time we tell ourselves we have to do something, we have that fight or flight response. Shift it to "choose" then you take yourself out of the automatic reaction stages. Change the words at the top of your to-do list. Write instead: "Get to do." Change your language to one of gratitude. You don't "have" to go to the store, you "get" two go to a store that has an abundance of goods in a peaceful environment without bombs firing off. You have money to buy the good at the store. Change your thoughts and it changes your action.
Practice the Three Bs on Commitments in Your Life
- Bag it. Am I doing this because I think someone wants it done? Then don't do it. Throw it in a bag. Still ironing the sheets because your hubby likes it but you hate it? Bag it.
- Barter it. Are you the only human being that can do this task that you don't want to do but feel you must do? We say, "Yes, I'm the only one that can do this" but are we saying we're the only ones that can do it right. There's a vista of possibilities before us. Trade jobs with someone. You might both get a good deal.
- Better it. Things we can't bag or barter, such as going to the dentist, we can "better" by changing our thinking or the events that surround the distasteful task. Do something that loosens the negative energy that surrounds the event. Something that takes you out of the dread energy into something better.
What about big projects that are looming? Big projects are 300-pound boulders. We heft the boulder on our shoulders and carry it from point A to point B. That is the mindset most of us begin with when we are facing a big project. How to we get away from feeling it's so hard?
Instead of thinking of hefting it, lean against it and roll it. When you roll things, you're getting momentum. Most of us make the mistake making the first three to four steps of any big project HUGE. We say: "I'll get to that when I have four hours to dedicate to it." So we put it off until the stress builds because the "chunk of time" theory says it has to be "big and hard" to count.
Not true.
Break the first three or four steps down into small steps. Jill calls the turtle steps. They are ridiculously easy.

As God is the Savior of all mankind, especially of those who believe (1 Tim. 4:10), we may confidently rest on this foundation of truth-that all salvation is of God, and neither believer nor unbeliever has any part in it. Those who believe are saved by His grace; those who do not believe are saved through His judgments, but in both it is He alone who is Savior.
Faith is the channel of grace; it does not produce salvation. Judgment is a means He uses, a process which leads to the opening of the unbeliever's eyes. It does not remove his guilt or cleanse a single sin. That is done wholly and solely by the blood of Christ. Judgments do not save, but the God who judges is also the Savior.
The very simplicity of faith baffles us. Today there are no evidences for faith other than the written word along with nature and many archeological confirmations. Most theological systems seek "Christian evidences" as the foundation of the believer's salvation. If 1,000 people were made to read the Bible and study history and nature, only a small percentage would believe the accounts in Scripture. It wouldn't matter how smart, how dumb, how interested, how evil or how good those people were. Science could not ascertain why certain ones believed. Faith is an unmerited gift (Eph. 2:8 ""¦not of yourselves"¦"). It is a miracle. In the Divine design for today - a measure of faith is not meant for everyone. It is given only to some.
The unbeliever, however, upon resurrection will be reached through evidences. The unbeliever will be saved by sight. He will yield to the force of facts. He will be convinced by logic. 100% will believe.
The case of Thomas, while dispensationally different, is an example of the overpowering force of evidence where faith is wanting (John 20:26-29). The power of the resurrection of Lazarus led many Jews to rely on that act for their faith. These illustrate God's method in the future judgment of the unbeliever.
Can an unbeliever still be saved subsequent to his death? Absolutely - Scripture teaches it. That is how the great majority of humans will come to believe. Saving people who, in this life, do not believe does not detract from Christ's work - condemning them to "hell" does. Saving them does not cheapen His work. The opposite is true. It makes it more powerful, comprehensive and good. In the end, it will display to all the beings in the universe, God's capacity for mercy - even to the worst offenders.
What will unbelievers face upon resurrection? What undeniable evidence will convince them to love God? The clues are above. The evidence will be laid out in Part II.

BEST FRIED SHRIMP Denver 2006 - Sapa
The "Hanoi Delights" plate at Sapa is the Vietnamese equivalent of the Chinese pupu platter: a huge sampling of appetizers arranged on one dish and meant for sharing. But like the archetypal pupu platter with its sole pork rib, this plate also features one item destined to inspire bitter rivalries between friends trying to divvy up the bounty. In Sapa's version, this single "fried shrimp" is actually shrimp paste wrapped in a crisp, flaky pastry shell, fried whole like a chimichanga, then cut into pieces. We've seen good friends nearly come to blows over the remaining piece on the plate, and otherwise reasonable people trying to hoard more than their share. The best solution is to order two Hanoi Delights so that everyone can have enough.

The builder of this featured Home of the Week said the future owners will enjoy the little touches, as well as the benefits of foresight and careful planning.
Richard Beck and Joshua Sheets of RBJS Construction LLC are the builders of this new home located in Eagle Creek. It features three bedrooms and three full baths, as well as a bonus area that can be transformed into a bedroom.
Eagle Creek is a gated community located off Mouse Creek Road in close proximity to Wacker, Amazon and General Electric, as well as Arch and Olin and Resolute Forest Products.
Cason Conn is the developer of the addition and plans to add a community swimming pool and clubhouse for residents of the community.
Located at 121 Creekside Lane, this 2,400 square-foot multilevel dwelling is situated on a nice lot — beautifully landscaped, including sidewalks and a concrete drive. Added touches are custom rock and brick work. The stone and brick exterior is complemented with architectural fiber cement siding, which is durable and dimensional.
Once through the front door, the new owners will begin to experience the "eye-appeal" amenities added to the house. Neutral paint colors were used throughout the home.
A wainscotted formal dining area is situated near the modern kitchen. A custom deep double tray ceiling complements the formal dining area. Custom-wood floors were also placed in the dining and living room areas of the home.
The main living area features an open-air feel with a high ceiling as well as beautiful custom moldings which have been expertly finished and painted. Modern stainless steel appliances were furnished in this kitchen. Plenty of granite counter space was provided along with handmade cabinets from a local company.
At the rear of the new home, a large open-air deck awaits family members.
This is situated near the kitchen and breakfast nook. The master bedroom features a unique ceiling design as well. Accent lighting was used throughout the home.
The home has three bedrooms and three full baths. A bonus area upstairs can also be converted to a bedroom, if needed. A full bath is located on the second floor of this custom-built home of the week.
Just off the spacious master suite, a large bath featuring a jetted tub, shower, private water closet and three large walk-in closets for clothing is furnished. The master bath also has a linen closet. Granite counters were also utilized in this bath, that has Jack and Jill lavatories, as well as the smaller shared bath for the two other bedrooms. Tile was used in all bath areas and a utility room.
What the new owners won't see are the additions which will save money in the future. The future savings will return money to their pockets by using these proven ideas such as wrapping the homes, durable fiber-cement exteriors, stone, cellulose insulation, controlled air space, energy-efficient windows and appliances.
The home also features a two-car garage on the main level, complete with electronic openers. A large garage is also included.
Cable, ceiling fans and a central heat and air unit are also included amenities.
Eagle Creek can be reached by traveling Interstate 75 north to Charleston Exit 33, turning east on Lauderdale Memorial Highway then onto Mouse Creek Road.
An open house is planned by the builders and will be held Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.
The home is not in a Realtor's hands. RBJS Construction LLC is offering the new home at $234,900.
For additional information, contact Sheets or Beck at 423-650-0811 or 423-715-0325. For information about Eagle Creek, contact 423-479-5940.

Kivotos translates to "ark," and you'll know why upon your first glance at the funky, three-story Noah's Villa at the whitewashed Kivotos Hotel. But it's not just the villa (complete with a rock grotto and wooden ship wheel entry) that has unexpected touches: surprising design elements are found throughout the property—in fact, the hotel is one of the most interesting on the Mediterranean. The 40 rooms and suites are designed by different artists (the owner is a collector); all are done in light, tranquil colors that reflect the sea. Ocean-view rooms are well worth the splurge, and some of the two- and three-bedroom suites are furnished with private pools that overlook the water. The property is just steps away from a quiet beach with chaise lounges, and guests have access to the hotel's private yacht, motorbikes, and more. In the afternoons, however, it was the locally caught seafood served at the hotel's seafront La Meduse restaurant and ouzo at the swim-up pool bar with its underwater music that captured our attention.
Room to Book:
The whitewashed Atlantis VIP Suite has two bedrooms, both with private Jacuzzis, and a private pool with views of the ocean.Insider Tip:
For sunbathing on the white sand (sans sea urchins), the best bets are the glamorous nearby beaches of Super Paradise and Elia. Get there early to rent a chaise lounge.Amenities

Final Thoughts
No wonder all the Intel staff had big grins on their faces all this week as they walked around here at Computex in Taiwan - they are sitting on a kick ass processor and just waiting for the right time to launch it into the market.
From our benchmarking, we can see that Intel's upcoming range of Conroe processors have a lot of raw performance available. Even the X6800 Core 2 Extreme which is clocked at just 2.93GHz is able to kill the 955 Extreme Edition processor pretty much all of the time. Considering the 955 EE is clocked over half a gig higher than the X6800, it is painting a very good picture for Intel. As Intel ramp up the clock speeds of the new Conroe chips, performance will only become stronger.
Not once did AMD's current highest performing and most expensive FX-62 processor come close to beating the Conroe. At times, the X6800 was over 50% faster. The 955 EE was able to beat the X6800 once in Quake 4 but that is because the 955 EE has a much higher clock speed. And even in Quake 4, the 955 EE was only about 3% quicker - imagine when the Core 2 Extreme hits 3.46GHz and you'll have a processor which will destroy the old Intel CPU design.
Intel's Conroe design makes their older Pentium chips look very, very ordinary. At times, the X6800 is able to beat the Pentium 4 631 clocked at 3GHz by as much as 180%. As far as gaming performance goes, Intel is looking very strong and as we have predicated and told many people at the Computex show throughout the week, Intel is looking like they will be the gamer CPU of choice in H2 2006 and all of 2007. The Core 2 Extreme clocked at 2.93GHz was able to beat the AMD Athlon FX-62 on average by 15% in our gaming benchmarks.
Right now is a good time to be in the industry, especially as an enthusiast and gamer. Intel are fighting back against AMD after some years of tough times as AMD become stronger and stronger and grew their market share against Intel. Now things are looking very good for Intel - they have the fastest desktop PC processor in the world just waiting to let it loose and a great chipset platform in the Intel 965P and nVidia nForce 5 series with ATI lurking around in the background with their RD600 chipset which should be launched around September 2006, apparently the same time as Intel will release their new Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors into the market.

103 Chifley to Beasley
Cablegram 30 CANBERRA, 21 February 1946
Your No. 1144. [1]
1. in regard to the future status and use of bases, we adhere to our previously expressed view that this matter can only be considered as part of an overall plan in which their role would be defined, and in which the right to joint use and reciprocity would be provided for. Further, that no discussion in Washington should precede consideration preferably by the Prime Ministers' Conference of a common British Commonwealth course of action.
2. On the question of the claim to the sovereignty of various islands, we adhere to the opinion that if there is a claim, it should be made openly before the permanent court, and resisted openly.
3. We regret that, though the matter was referred to us for observations, both United Kingdom and New Zealand felt that they had committed themselves to the United States to hold a Conference. In your No. 946 [2], you state that Fraser and Addison both considered it would create misunderstanding if they withdrew the proposal which the United States had accepted. We suggest, in view of the American expectations which will have been aroused by the wide scope of the terms of reference referred to in your No.
546 [3], that the limited objectives which are to govern the United Kingdom attitude, as stated by Addison in your No. 1144, are also likely to create misunderstanding and disappointment in the minds of the Americans.
4. In our opinion the only sound and realistic approach is to decide what is the bedrock viewpoint of the British Commonwealth on the question of bases, and then to seek the agreement of the United States to an arrangement in accordance with the provisions and procedure of the Charter. This is the only basis on which the Commonwealth Government is prepared to participate in discussions.

(covers information from an alternate timeline)
The Atlantic Ocean was a ocean on Earth, second in size after the Pacific.
The American Civil War Battle of Hampton Roads took place in an Atlantic coast bay off the shores of Virginia in early May, 1862. (TOS: "The Cage")
In April, 1912, after leaving England, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic. (VOY: "Year of Hell")
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the cruise liner RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 ferried passengers across the Atlantic between the continents of Europe and North America. One of these passengers was Ralph Offenhouse. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
In an alternate 2154, the Xindi superweapon fired at the Atlantic Ocean, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed Earth. (ENT: "Twilight")
20th century-era maps of the northern hemisphere Atlantic region were stored in the USS Enterprise's library computer in 2254. One map depicted the Arctic Circle, with Atlantic continents North America and Europe, and part of Africa. These maps were among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS: "The Cage")
By the 24th century New Martim Vaz, an aquatic city, had been established in the Atlantic. (TNG: "The Survivors")

The Taliban in Afghanistan hanged a seven-year-old boy after accusing him of being a spy.
The London Daily Mail reported the Taliban took the child from his home in Helmand province, and then put him on trial.
The terrorist group found him guilty of spying for U.S. and NATO forces. They then publicly hanged the young boy.
Afghan President Karzai has called the hanging a "crime against humanity".
"I don't think there's a crime bigger than that that even the most inhuman forces on earth can commit," he said. "A seven-year-old boy cannot be a spy. A seven-year-old boy cannot be anything but a seven-year-old boy, and therefore hanging or shooting to kill a seven-year-old boy. is a crime against humanity."

Rescued 5/3/04
Cameron the Lion and Zabu the White Tiger are Big Cat Rescue's odd couple.
They were both born at a run down roadside zoo in 2000 and were rescued in 2004.
At the New Hampshire zoo, Cameron had been raised with Zabu, the white tigress, with the hopes of cross breeding them and selling the resulting Liger cubs.
People often hybridize lions and tigers because they are either trying to create a novelty that people will pay to come see or trying to avoid the law. Until recently, some state's laws did not recognize a 500 pound cross between a lion and tiger to be either. Therefore, people would buy them and claim that laws against owning a lion or tiger did not apply to them.
Even though Cameron went through a very tough time, in which his former keepers said he had lost over 200 pounds due to starvation, Cameron paced himself to survive. It was up to us to help turn his life around.
Since Cameron and Zabu were true companions, we had to do whatever we could to make a long life together possible for them. The first step was to build a huge cat-a-tat designed especially for 2 large carnivores.
Next we had to neuter and spay them so that they would not breed more cats for life in cages. Reuniting them was a special moment and they are now very happy and very popular residents of our sanctuary.
While Cameron tries to sleep most of the day away (as lions do in the wild), Zabu is extremely energetic and is always pestering him to play. She'll often give up on him and just run and jump and play with her big red Planet Ball. Of course, that's after she's tired of playfully stalking her keepers or trying to spray the groups of visitors that stop by everyday.
Here are some more pages you can find information, photos, videos, and stories about Cameron:

Key to Successful Decluttering: Surrender
At the end of last year (was that really only 6 weeks ago?) I had some physical problems that I had been ignoring. Yes, ignoring. Don't lecture me. I know.
You know where this is going don't you?
The more I ignored, the worse things got until January 1st arrived and all I could think of was making an appointment with my doctor to maybe get some help.
So, there's good news and bad news: My bloodwork and "numbers" are all where they should be, but there is something that will require a minor surgery in order to clear it up. Something I never would have known if the pain hadn't gotten so bad that I finally surrendered and gave it the attention it deserved.
I'll just have to endure some temporary discomfort in order to get to where I want to be.
My recent health concerns have become a metaphor for my life lately.
I've ignored the growing piles of papers and books on every flat surface in the house. I have open shelves in my kitchen and they became a catch-all for every bowl and pan and small appliance I've ever owned. I couldn't see the top of my desk. In our bedroom, I had to wade through piles of towels that were clean and folded, but I had been too lazy to walk the 12 feet to the over-flowing linen closet. On our coffee table sat every video we've watched in the last month.
The pain and discomfort of living this chaotic lifestyle made me stop dead in my tracks. Who am I? How did I get to this point? Again I found myself raising the white flag of surrender. I give up!
And so the past month I have made it a point (between doctor visits) to remove the visible clutter from my home and life. The tops of desks and tables and kitchen cabinets. Not that I was ignoring the jumbled drawers and cupboards. But I needed a few victories before I could tackle the bigger, deeper stuff.
I would walk around the park in the morning and come home with a fresh attitude and clean off a shelf in the afternoon. I didn't have the physical or mental energy to do much more.
And then a funny thing happened.
I started to lighten up. My mood improved. My body started dropping pounds. I started sleeping better. As I gave my body fresh air and sunshine, I also made breathing room in my home.
I'm not at 100%. I am still facing surgery. My house is not at 100% either. But we're moving in the right direction.
There are still closets that need decluttering. But I'm starting from a better place. And because I completely missed January 1st, I'm stating my intention today, February 1st.
I'm committed to making lots of space for many wonderful things in 2011.
I know it's a little late, but that's my new mantra: Tarde pero seguro.

That's a Wrap!
Hello, everyone. NaPoWriMo is over for 2014. I hope you enjoyed flexing your poetry muscles! Thanks to everyone who submitted prompt and journal/press ideas, and thanks to all of you for participating.The best thing about NaPoWriMo is seeing how many people are able to use the project to clear through their mental underbrush and just sit down to write — whether they are trying poetry for the first time, returning after a long while, or just using it to further what has already become a lifelong practice.
I hope to see you all again next year. In the meantime, happy writing!
Rachel Barenblat
Thank you so much for the prompts! I know that several of the poems I wrote in April were different from what I usually write and different from the habitual places where my mind takes me — and I really appreciate the opportunities to go in some new directions.
Thank you for hosting this! It was a lot more fun than I ever thought it would be (and I was pretty certain it would be plenty fun in the first place.)
Have a great year!
Laura Martin Freeman
It was awesome, thanks! I used more prompts this year than I did last year, so it was helpful for generating the ideas! You (and Chris Baty) are my heroes!
scant scintilla
Thanks, thanks, thanks again. This was an awesome exercise and made me push some personal boundaries. Looking forward to next year. http://scantscintilla.tumblr.com

FALL RIVER, Mass. — The lead prosecutor in the murder investigation of ex-New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez has accused the football player's girlfriend of lying to a grand jury 29 times over two days last summer.
William M. McCauley, first assistant district attorney in Bristol County (Mass.), provided the clerk's office in Fall River Superior Court with a long list of allegations that resulted in a grand jury indicting Shayanna Jenkins, 24, on a perjury charge two months ago.
Superior Court Judge E. Susan Harsh asked McCauley to provide the court with the list, also known as a Bill of Particulars, last month so Jenkins' defense lawyer, Janice Bassil, of Boston, could properly mount a defense against the felony count.
At a hearing last month, McCauley said that Jenkins provided the court with more than 230 pages of testimony when she appeared before the grand jury on Aug. 13 and Aug. 15. She was indicted for perjury on Sept. 26.
Among the alleged lies:
Jenkins went to New Hampshire on the weekend of June 15, but she didn't know why she decided to head north from the mansion she shared with Hernandez and their infant daughter in North Attleboro. (Hernandez is accused of fatally shooting Odin L. Lloyd on June 17 in an industrial pit just a half-mile from the Hernandez home.)
Jenkins denied speaking with Hernandez about the shooting of Alexander Bradley, a one-time friend and driver for Hernandez. Bradley, of East Hartford, Conn., was shot in the face last February after he got in an argument with Hernandez outside a Miami strip club. Hernandez has not been charged with the shooting, but Bradley filed a civil lawsuit against him in federal court, accusing him of being the triggerman.
Jenkins denied talking to Hernandez about why the police had come to their home or why he went to the North Attleboro police station.
She said she did not have a conversation with Hernandez about Lloyd, the murder victim, despite knowing that his body was found near their mansion. The filing also claims that Jenkins knew Hernandez was with Lloyd the morning he was murdered.
Jenkins claimed she saw only "one gun in her home," and denied talking to Hernandez "about seeing a gun in the house."
She claimed that she couldn't recall conversations she had with Hernandez when he called her on June 18, the day after Lloyd's murder, from Ropes & Gray, in Boston, the law firm defending Hernandez. He allegedly instructed Jenkins to remove items, or evidence, from the house.
Jenkins allegedly told the grand jury that she couldn't remember removing items from the house or what she did with them. The items may have been placed in a box and she allegedly told the grand jury that the box wasn't important to her and she didn't tell anyone about disposing it.
She claimed that she did not know that "Bo," was Ernest "Hobo" Wallace, a co-defendant of Hernandez who has been charged with accessory after the fact of murder. He is accused of being with Hernandez, Lloyd and Carlos Ortiz on the morning of the murder. She also alleged that she never spoke to Wallace about the Lloyd slaying.
Bassil, Jenkins' lawyer, did not return a call on Tuesday seeking her reaction to the allegations that her client lied to the grand jury 29 times.
Jenkins has pleaded not guilty to the perjury charge and she is expected back in court on Jan. 6. She has been free on her own recognizance.
Hernandez has been charged with first-degree murder and five firearm charges. He has pleaded not guilty and has been held without bail at the Bristol County House of Correction since his arrest on June 26.
Jenkins and Hernandez were high school sweethearts in Bristol, Conn., where they grew up. Wallace and Ortiz, also charged with accessory after the fact of murder, are from Bristol, Conn., and they have been friends with Hernandez for years. Both men are being held without bail at county jails in Massachusetts.

In June, it took our Southern California clients an average of 40 days to close on their homes, 5 days longer than it did in May. The good news for our clients is that even though it may take a while to close, only three of our Southern California clients' deals failed to get financing since February.
The main reason closing is taking longer is because on May 1st, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) took effect. The HVCC is designed to make home appraisals more reliable by restricting the interaction between mortgage lenders appraisers. Since May 1st, lenders can't deal directly with appraisers. Instead, lenders schedule appraisals through third-party management companies. This adds a buffer between the lender and appraiser, but it also adds time to the process. You can get all the details in the official statement from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (25K PDF).
"The HVCC is supposed to improve the accuracy of appraisals, but we're seeing just the opposite," says Anna Nevares, one of our agents in Southern California. "Many of the appraisers aren't familiar with the local market and they often appraise home well-below market value. Right now, we're spending a lot of time disputing appraisals based on bad comparable homes."

"[Seuss] gave us the clues on the page," says The Lorax producer Christopher Meledandri, CEO of Illumination Entertainment, which has worked closely with the author's estate and widow to begin adapting his books into animation.
Specifically, Meledandri, director Chris Renaud (Despicable Me), and screenwriting duo Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul (Hop) found what they were looking for on Page 9.
As in the book, much of the movie is told in flashback, and begins with a boy who lives in the dour, polluted world who goes in search of the aged Once-ler to find out how things went so wrong. (Zac Efron voices the kid in the film, named Ted after Dr. Seuss' real name — Theodore Geisel.)
The picture above shows the movie-version of the Once-ler in his regretful old age, sporting much longer gloves that cover his arms entirely.
That elderly, decrepit fellow was similarly depicted in the original Seuss illustrations as a pair of eyes between the slats of a boarded up window, and those scenes in the story provided the single strongest piece of evidence that the seemingly furry-limbed villain was human.
Actually, it was his Snuvv that gave it away.
This rhyme explains it (as much as any Seussian nonsense verse can.) It accompanied a drawing — seen below — of the Once-ler accepting payment from the boy before telling his tale of woe.
Then he hides what you paid him
away in his Snuvv,
his secret strange hole
in his gruvvulous glove.
"If there was a clear sign this character was something other than human, we would have abided by that," says Meledandri. "But okay, he's wearing gloves. You're not going to put gloves on a monster."
Making the Once-ler a man, and not some twisted fiend, had a philosophical underpinning as well.
"The minute you make the Once-ler a monster, you allow the audience to interpret that the problem is caused by somebody who is different from me, and it ceases to be a story that is about all of us," says Meledandri.
