Faith vs. Trust:
Quite often the words faith and trust are tossed about in religious circles. These words are used like salt, seasoning any dialogue with a distinctly "christian" flavor. But what do they mean? Is faith the same thing as trust? If not, what is the difference?
Faith is a noun.
It is something we HAVE... As He reveals Himself and His Love to us, this "knowing" of him in our head (knowledge), and in our heart (beliefs), is the substance, our evidence, of Him and His Love (Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.").
Faith says "I know Him, and I believe!"...
but faith is not trust...
Trust is a verb.
Trust is something we DO...
Trust is faith in action! It is the manifestation of our faith in our thoughts and actions. While faith says "He can...", trust says "He is... and I will think and act accordingly!"
It is far easier to have faith in God; there are unbelievers who have this. It is a lot harder to exercise trust in Him...
A short analogy (...though based on a real story):
The Great Blondin
In the late 1800's there was a great performer named Jean Francois Gravelot. He was known as "The Great Blondin." He was a "daredevil" of sorts; a tightrope walker specifically.
One of his greatest stunts, involved walking a tightrope high above the world famous Niagara Falls. Blondin performed this death-defying feat more than once, adding elements of difficulty each time. Once he even carried his manager on his back!
Blondin was quite the showman, he had a knack for engaging the crowd, stirring the suspense and excitement. Upon completing one attempt, he asked the crowd if they believed a second attempt would be a successful one. The crowd unanimously agreed it would. Always looking to better his last great feat, Blondin now asked the crowd if they believed he could cross the falls on the tightrope while pushing a wheelbarrow. Having seen his previous stunt, and how seemingly easy it was for him, the crowd had no doubt he could pull off this new, more difficult one. Again, the response was unanimous, the crowd had no doubt "The Great Blondin" could do it!
Blondin was ready to attempt this amazing feat that only he could do, but before he set out on the rope, he had one last question for the crowd: "Which of you will ride in the wheelbarrow?" The crowd was frozen, still, silent. Not a single man or woman responded to his challenge...
All of those people witnessed Blondin cross the falls on the rope. They gained first-hand knowledge of his abilities. They had a well founded belief that he could perform the more difficult stunt. Yet, when it came time to act on those beliefs, they were silent...still. They did not trust him.
Many of us have seen what God can do, and we believe (faith)... when He calls us to "ride" with him (trust), will we sit silent? Will we stand still?...
...just a thought...

I do not agree by your last line : Yet, when it came time to act on those beliefs, they were silent...still. They did not trust him. They did trust him but it was their fear of fall that let them down.As is the case with so many adventure sports around the world.People know nothing is going to happen to them but its just that these tasks are so fearsome. In a nut shell if Blondin would have asked the people "Dont u trust me?" their reply would have been "We do its just that we are still afraid"

Wow, really helpful! Thank you! Learning how faith is how we receive the free gift of Grace. Trust is the action we take that opens up a friendship with God! And they might has said they trust Blondin, but if they listened to their fear then they didn't truly. Trust is part of believing the best about someone, which is love. And love casts out all fear.
By Owen on 26-05-13 at 11:44pm
Faith is gullibility.. it's having a belief without actual evidences which would make that faith a fact.... If actual evidences existed for faith then it would no longer be considered faith, it would be called a fact... or truth

when whatever don't move God don't move you, your trust is established. This is a perfect trust
By martins on 15-09-13 at 12:09am
The three Hebrews thrown to the fiery furnace by king Nebuchadnezzar exercised absolute trust in God that He will do the right thing. Daniel in the lion den was remarkably a trust in the unfailing God. Peter when The Lord Jesus asked him to join Him in walking on water, Peter relied on his faith in The Lord which could not carry Peter through. Peter at that time requires a mountain moving faith which is Trust to be able to walk on water to meet Jesus.

Very good thank you
By Patrick on 29-09-13 at 09:39am
Sorry, but Ben is wrong. According to Websters- Trust is also a noun-. 1.belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc. Faith is a synonym for trust.
By Bryan on 04-11-13 at 08:18pm
Thank you so much for this insight. It's very helpful and inspirational. In response to what my fellow friend above said regarding the people trusting in Blondin but being afraid, I think that is contrary what trust really is. If you trust God or someone, you can completely and totally rely on them and their word, therefore by trusting you overcome fear. Just as the story of Peter. He was definitely afraid to walk on water but he trusted God and was able to do it.

Well Said..may good increase your knowledge and wisdom to touch and change the lives of more people.
By Marvin on 18-12-13 at 03:31pm
Trust is a verb and a noun depending on its usage. Deriving its meaning as a part of speech is not clarifying. We attribute meaning to these words based on our interpretation of them in the context of our given belief system. In MY experience having faith is a form of believing and hoping that what is said is true and trust is a much stronger belief than faith--it has an added sense of an inner knowing, an inner recognition that there is a perception that I feel the truth somewhere, somehow right now, and not that I will have it in the future.
By Anonymous on 19-12-13 at 09:14am
when there is trust then no fear no nothing
By Anonymous on 22-12-13 at 05:27am
Faith and trust must go together if not then the faith is not real faith but a false faith. Either a head faith, a feeling faith, a dead faith or a crisis faith. Saving grace faith is one that acts out what is confessed and believed. The trust is the action part. It does not add to faith but clarifies what real faith is. Faith is expressed in love, in the Blondin case, there is no love so faith does not exist. If faith does not exist then neither can trust. It's like a little child on a higher platform that a parent asks to jump and he will catch the child. The child will launch into a jump without second thoughts. That is real faith. Faith comes from God. The false faith are really a rebellious act of refusing to absolutely surrender. In real faith the substance refers to putting our trust completely in the faithfulness of God to come true on his every promises. Faith grows so trust can also grow.

Thanks for the insights. I am interested in how Faith and trust dance together. I find faith sures up trust when it's weak. It appears to me that each is an attempt to get to certainly. Trust requires measured data and faith only belief in the unseen data as proof. Thus, Faith is belief in the unproven and Trust is belief in the proven. When measured data suggests no trust or hope we (if Believers) can turn to Faith and be willing to risk the next step towards better. When your faith is well founded you can walk forward fearing no danger and building or rebuilding trust as you go. Regarding God: The gift of being the one defining the level of trust is you can decide what you take as measured evidence and perhaps see God in all things around you yielding trust in God. First we trust in God then we can rest in God.

God bless you so much.... Amen
By Georgia on 15-04-14 at 09:38am
I also disagree. According the the standard that Christians are expected to adhere to (the bible) we should be taking a different stance. Faith is dependent on a lack of evidence, otherwise it isn't faith. Trust is dependent on the evaluation of evidence, it results from regarding that evidence as compelling. Trust and faith are antithetical without being inimical. You can trust God because of what he has done for you and you can have faith in God for what has not happened. I have faith that God will prepare a place for me by his side. I trust God not to tempt me beyond my strength to resist.
By Rev. Mike on 21-05-14 at 03:43pm
I really love this answer. It is truly helpful and gave me a great deal of understanding my short coming in my trust in my God. I had always wanted to really know the difference but never could quite understand the difference. Wonderful Answer!!

This is in response to reverand Mike. God does not tempt.

Faith I see as truth which once established we can put our weight on it. (rely on it) and trust is a hope for what is to come based on our faith. I like what the explanation was and am just adding a comment without wanting to take away from the original explanation.
By Leon on 02-08-14 at 01:21pm
This article helped me immensely. Although I agree with another poster that trust is also a noun, I fully see with this answer a difference in faith in trust, leading me to go more fully into my understanding through transformation in Christ Jesus. Faith is sometimes passive. We have faith (through an underlying belief in Jesus and God in charge) but trust (the verb) is actively engaging that faith directly. I have had multiple terrible things in my life happen, and I can now fully see the difference in the calm afforded by trust, as opposed to my 'trying' to find my faith through the fear of the situation. There really is a difference. I, too, disagree with the part of the story where people did not want to ride in the wheelbarrow. There might have been many, like me, that for whatever reason simply did not want the discomfort of others watching. It truly might not have been a crisis of trust for everyone, but simply a choice not to become a spectacle or to be made physically uncomfortable to that degree on that particular day.

I bless the Lord for the power of revelation He has given to everyone who has contributed and particulary for the life of Ben. I quite agree that trust is a demonstration of faith and both go hand in hand. We must understand that fear and trust cannot cohabit, lets not be deceived by our head knowledge, we need to get a good understanding of the fundamental principles in the bible by which we can live a victorious christian life, and some have been shared here. I have been blessed by this article, but not without taking out the wheat from the shaft. Thank you all.

ReviewsAt the heart of these juxtapositions -- back-country living versus high technology, freaks and monsters versus everyday, normal people -- are Doctorow's propositions about the democratic flow of information and communications. Who are the real "lumbering dinosaur[s] . . . thrashing in the tar pit," the regimented, slow-moving corporation that regulates communications, or the characters like Alan, who argue that the free wireless network project is a protection of fundamental human rights?One more interesting point about the science in this story: It isn't futuristic or untried, except, maybe, that the citywide network will be enabled by hardware that has been constructed entirely from garbage (discarded computer parts found in dumpsters). "What am I?" The question is ongoing. Doctorow uses Alan as an embodiment of self-discovery on individual and cultural levels. With Alan's efforts to spearhead the wireless movement (executed by street people, squeegee kids and junkies), Doctorow suggests that the notions of high and low tech, archaic and advanced, have less to do with the technologies we create than with the ways that we use them.
Kelly McManus, The Globe and Mail
Alan, the eldest son of a mountain and a washing machine, refurbishes a house in Toronto, meets an anarchist bent on blanketing the city in free wireless Internet access, and falls for a woman with leathery wings on her back in Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town. But Alan is forced to return home and confront his misfit past when his murderous and deformed brother David reappears. Cory Doctorow adroitly interconnects these peculiar plots -- e.g., the wireless blanket is used to track David's movements -- and successfully experiments with a risky prose style.
Noah Robischon, Entertainment Weekly
After getting off to what was already an impressive start, Cory Doctorow has finally delivered the book, the one that puts him over the top as one of the rare, demonically original, challenging and gifted writers SF sees about as often as two-headed calves are born. These ranks include the likes of PKD, Ballard and Delany, artists who manage to write mold-breaking, unconventional stories that uproot nearly every preconception about what storytelling ought to do, and yet avoid being alienating or vapid and self-indulgent.
Thomas M. Wagner, SFReviews
Fine modern fantasy from up-and-coming SF writer (Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, 2003) and happening Web editor (boingboing.net) Doctorow, with the potential to please both SF and mainstream readers. This chimera of a novel takes a plot with the geek appeal of a Neal Stephenson story and combines it with a touching family tale built out of absurdist elements that could have come from Italo Calvino or Kurt Vonnegut. We first meet Alan in Toronto, after he's made some money running a series of vaguely bohemian enterprises—bookstores, used-clothing stores, etc. He has painstakingly renovated a house in the student district as the perfect setting for writing, but he's distracted by his neighbors, primarily the sadistic punk Krishna, who is immediately hostile, and Krishna's girlfriend, Mimi, an attractive young woman who's revealed to have a set of wings, which Krishna regularly hacks off so that Mimi might pass among us. Both recognize Alan as something other than normal, and in the story's other thread, they're proven right. His mother was a washing machine, his father the mountain in which he grew up. Among his brothers are an island and three nesting-doll-like creatures, all of whom help Alan murder their resentful and dangerous brother David. Alan is further distracted when he meets Kurt, a techno-punk slowly installing wireless access points throughout the city to provide universal free Internet, a scheme that immediately engages Alan, who becomes the co-mastermind. Crisis blossoms when, with Krishna as his Renfrew, decomposing brother David returns to seek revenge, first by murdering the brothers, then targeting Mimi, now with Alan, and Kurt. Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town is a perfect example of why we shouldn't be trying to stuff books into genres (although I will say this book is definitely InfernoKrusher). This wonderful, loopy, deep, moving story has a mystery, or maybe lots of mysteries (including the mystery of the human condition), there are a couple of romances, (not to mention the love of life and technology) and there are wonderful, intoxicating, flights of fantasy.
Georgiana Lee, Quality Time
Doctorow is one of sci-fi's most exciting young writers, and one of the few with a genuine sense of humor. This is, even by his own bizarre standards, his oddest work yet -- an absurd, cartoonish fantasy about a man whose father is a mountain, whose mother is a washing machine, and whose brother is a set of Russian nesting dolls. It all takes place in Toronto, where our hero finds love -- and discovers a passion for installing wireless Internet connections.
Cargo Magazine
The latest novel by this Nebula-award nominee is every bit as strange as it sounds, but considerably more powerful than you might guess. The tone swings wildly from farce to technological exposition to horror. There are even two touching love stories, one of which Alan experiences as a child, and one as an adult. The surprises arrive at the rate of one every couple of pages.
Sci Fi magazine
This book dazzles by walking a dangerous high tightrope pulled taut between the widely separated poles of the story. The fairy-tale childhood, with its startling yet archetypically resonant improbabilities, has to consort with the hacker realities of the Kurt-based story, which in itself is not overtly unlikely, but still slightly gonzo. But, like the best mashup tunes, Doctorow's narrative wedges the most consensually disparate elements together into a brilliant whole. What probably carries the whole project is Doctorow's deft, deep depiction of his characters. I have to say that he's never done a better job of limning real people. However weird they are, they are certainly not cardboard or one-dimensional. They all contain the essential pressure points, drives, caprices and emotions that power the folks we encounter every day. Damaged yet striving to survive and do good, Alan and his cohorts demand that we empathize with their human foibles. This essential believability pulls us in, easing our acceptance of any grotesqueries.
Paul Di Filippo, SciFi.com
To read Doctorow is to love Doctorow...every story he writes is practically guaranteed to be witty, irreverent, challenging, and completely outrageous. Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town is no different: It's classic Cory.
Paul Goat Allen, Barnes and Noble Review
Cory Doctorow's third novel blends ordinary technology, nerdista tech, myth, horror, sheer astonishing silliness, and the Aspergerish quest of the outsider into a demented non-stop juggling act that struck me as the 1950-ish Absurdism of Eugene Ionesco and Boris Vian melted into the heart-touching whimsy of Jonathan Carroll and Jonathan Lethem, then steeped in the crazed fractured realities of the Goon Show. Perhaps US readers are unfamiliar with the Goons, a BBC radio series from the 1950s (Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers) that crunched its way through genres and grotesque voices the way Monty Python tried to do a decade later.
Damien Broderick, Locus Magazine
Dave McKean
Doctorow treats these bizarre images and themes with deadpan wit. In this inventive parable about tolerance and acceptance, he demonstrates how memorably the outrageous and the everyday can coexist.

Welcome to something refreshing on the conservative landscape!
It's unity instead of division, pragmatism instead of social dogma. It's what conservatives have traditionally stood for – and we take pride in that heritage. It was conservatives that led the fight for civil rights – first in abolishing slavery, then in expanding equal rights for women, and then in fighting to end racial inequality. Conservatives busted up the big trusts and fought against corporate monopolies. Conservatives fought for environmental protection and against political patronage. Conservatives ended the Vietnam War and won the Cold War without firing a shot. Our values unite rather than divide:
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Limited Government
- Individual Liberties
- Belief in the Power of Free Markets and Free People
Our country continues to face serious issues that require serious leadership. We must support a governing coalition that puts results ahead of politics – committed to making Washington work again. We must reach out to independents, disaffected Republicans and Democrats, centrists, suburbanites and young voters, offering pragmatic, common sense solutions to the complex challenges facing our country today. Our mission is to bring together those who care about this country after decades of hyper-partisanship and dysfunction in Washington. Our goal is unity instead of division, supported by a commitment to governing with core principles.
THAT'S Main Street Advocacy!
We're glad you're here and ask you to join us. With your support, we WILL make a difference!

A good laugh is the best way to relieve stress, reduce conflict, ease pain and improve moods. The individual benefits aside laughter is infectious! Few things are universally more comical than dogs caught on tape. From Hollywood to Madison Avenue and especially in a pet owner's backyard, dogs provide a limitless supply of sidesplitting humor.
I offer this list in no particular order.
18 Funniest Dog Videos
SECTION 1 — ADVERTISING: Dogs were the original supermodels. Even Marilyn Monroe was upstaged by a beautiful dog! Today dogs are used to promote everything from automobiles to beer to underwear. Some of the creative commercial efforts are among the funniest dog videos ever.
Beautiful Hair Comes Naturally
This Afghan hound knows she is beautiful and is not afraid to flaunt it, with hilarious results. Watch as a Philips ad for hair products gets the concept of vanity straight!
The Wrong Automation
An automatic floor sweeper gets put to the ultimate test by this Australian shepherd. I wager you won't forget the product when you finish laughing at the outcome (no pun intended).
"So, What Can Your Dog Do?"
Nothing is funnier than two guys one-upping each other — unless you throw a couple of clever dogs into the mix. Watch the outcome of this banned Bud Light commercial and just try to not laugh out loud.
Every Home Needs a Harvey
Thinkbox demonstrates that dogs can provide true inspiration for an advertising campaign. Funny, cute and clever — a triple-threat hustler hound.
SECTION 2 — REALITY TV: Reality television has become a cultural phenomenon of a generation. There are dozens of "real life" series featuring teen mothers, exterminators, pawn shops, flea markets, celebrities in their "natural habitats," children behaving badly and adults behaving worse. Since the early TV days of Candid Camera to current clips from America's Funniest Home Videos, the original reality TV stars were really animals. I would argue they remain the most entertaining, as evidenced by the following amateur videos.
Singing Basset Hound
This basset hound may not win a "golden ticket" to Hollywood, but he belts the tune out with more heart and soul than most American Idols, plus he makes the audition very amusing!
Ultimate Dog Tease
The amateur video of this bacon-loving German shepherd went viral in minutes. YouTube has recorded more than 103 million hits so far on this clip.
Laughing Baby in Tub Teases a Dachshund
W.C. Fields once said, "Never work with animals or children." The statement was less about Field's fondness, or lack thereof, of animals or children. He simply knew that if you put a cute child or an animal on the set, the famous actor ceases to exist. Fields' logic is proven in this video of a baby and dogs.
Wait, there's more to read! Keep reading here: Page 2

Jeffrey Osborne & Average White Band
About The Soul Tour
Join us at Horseshoe Hammond for a concert with Jeffrey Osborne & Average White Band on April 4, 2014.
About Jeffrey Osborne
Jeffrey Osborne began his professional singing career in 1969 with funk and soul group Love Men Ltd, later renamed L.T.D. Osborne was originally brought on as the drummer and eventually became the lead vocalist. After more than ten years with the band, he decided to pursue a solo career, producing such Top 40 hits as "Don't You Get So Mad," "Stay With Me Tonight," and "Love Power," a duet with Dionne Warwick.
Jeffrey Osborne's funk and R&B solo career has brought him five gold and platinum albums, including Stay with Me Tonight and Only Human. He also recorded an album of duets with Grammy award-winning soul singer James Ingram and scored an international hit with "On the Wings of Love" in 1982. After his six A&M albums released during the '80s, he moved to Arista for Only Human (1990), then switched to a series of independent labels. His releases during the 2000s and 2010s included That's for Sure (2000) and Music Is Life (2003), as well as the covers albums From the Soul (2005) and A Time for Love (2013).
About Average White Band
Best known for their timeless instrumental mega-hit "Pick Up the Pieces," soul and funk band AWB's strength lies in their consistently accomplished songwriting, stretching across several gold selling albums and multiple Grammy nominations for Atlantic Records. Somewhat incongruously, given their Scottish roots, the six piece took the influences of their R&B heroes – people like Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Donny Hathaway – and developed their own authentic sound which was eagerly adopted by audiences around the world.
Average White Band's current lineup, with noted US musicians alongside founding members Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre, delights audiences and critics alike. The musical energy and trademark sound are remarkably true to the original, and with new arrangements of classic songs, it is no surprise that the Average White Band is now a multi-generational attraction and a perennial fixture at top music venues around the world.

Osteoporosis in Type 1 Women Starts After Teen Years
Bone mineral density is lower in type 1 girls, and starts to decline sometime after the teen years.
In a study conducted at the University at Buffalo, 15 girls between the ages of 13 and 19 were evaluated. Bone mineral density and bone mineral content were taken from the spine, neck of the femur, wrist, and total body by dual energy x ray. The results were correlated with measures of glucose control and bone metabolism.
The researchers found that bone mineral density in teenage girls with diabetes was lower than in healthy control subjects. The findings were presented May 2 in San Francisco at the annual meeting of the Society for Pediatric Research.
"Osteoporosis is well described in adult women with long-standing diabetes, but there is not a lot of information on when it starts," says Teresa Quattrin, MD, associate professor of pediatrics and lead researcher on the study. "We need to follow young women prospectively so we can pinpoint the mechanism and perhaps intervene to stop the bone loss."
Quattrin adds that glucose control was not a predictor of poorer bone mineral density, nor was poor bone mineral density influenced by high insulin levels.
Approximately 19 percent of women with type 1 diabetes develop osteoporosis later in life.

Thursday, November 18, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Bush picks advisers for 2 posts By Dave Montgomery
WASHINGTON President Bush yesterday tapped two longtime confidantes from Texas for key positions in his second-term administration, nominating domestic-policy adviser Margaret Spellings for education secretary and promoting presidential assistant Harriet Miers to chief White House lawyer. Both have had Bush's ear since his earliest political days as Texas governor. Spellings, a former education lobbyist from Houston who was instrumental in shaping the president's principal education initiatives, was named to replace outgoing Education Secretary Rod Paige. In a ceremony in the Roosevelt Room, Bush introduced the mother of two as an "energetic reformer" who will be charged with expanding on the No Child Left Behind Act, which passed early in his first term. Miers, a former Dallas lawyer whom Bush once described as a "pit bull in size 6 shoes," serves as deputy White House chief of staff and will replace White House counsel Alberto Gonzales. Bush nominated Gonzales, another Texan, for attorney general. Spellings and Miers are virtually unknown to the general public and keep a low profile. Friends and associates say both are indefatigable, extremely loyal to Bush and combine intelligence with common sense. Spellings, 46, joined Bush 10 years ago as political director of his first gubernatorial campaign and went on to become his chief education adviser in Austin, helping to push his school initiatives through the Legislature. After Bush became president in January 2001, Spellings joined the White House team to oversee his domestic agenda. She quickly became the subject of conservative sniping after she was asked on C-SPAN to react to census data showing a decline in the traditional family. "So what?" she replied, noting that there were "lots of different types of family" and she herself was "a single mom." She since has remarried. She perhaps is best known, though, for helping to craft the No Child Left Behind Act. The act, which passed Congress in January 2002, requires states to test students annually in reading and math in third through eighth grades and at least once during the 10th through 12th grades. Bush has made expanding the act a top priority and wants to extend annual testing to high schools. Spellings pledged that she would vigorously pursue Bush's goal of ensuring "that each and every child has the skills and qualities necessary to realize the American dream." Spellings worked closely with Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and other Senate leaders in helping to forge the bipartisan support that led to passing the act. Although Kennedy since has criticized the administration for providing inadequate money for the initiative, his spokesman, Jim Manley, said Spellings had "strong bipartisan support within the halls of Congress," suggesting that her nomination will win easy confirmation in the Senate. Bush described Miers as "a trusted adviser, on whom I have long relied for straightforward advice." Before teaming with Bush, Miers was president of the Dallas Bar Association, a former member of the Dallas City Council and a member of a prestigious Dallas law firm. After winning the gubernatorial race in 1994, Bush named her to his transitional team and later appointed her chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission during a period of turbulence for that agency. Her appointment to replace Gonzales, which doesn't require Senate confirmation, will put her in charge of all major legal matters the White House confronts. ALSO Condoleezza Rice, nominated to be secretary of state, will undergo a minor surgical procedure at a Washington hospital today, a spokesman said. Rice is having a uterine fibroid embolization, a minimally invasive procedure to block arteries that supply blood to fibroid tumors, the spokesman said. It did not involve cancer or a life-threatening condition, he said. The C-SPAN interview was reported by The Washington Post; the Rice item was provided by The Associated Press.

A polyptych (/ˈpɒlɪptɪk/ POL-ip-tik; Greek: poly- "many" and ptychē "fold") generally refers to a painting (usually panel painting) which is divided into sections, or panels. The terminology that follows is in relevance to the number of panels integrated into a particular piece of work: "diptych" describes a two-part work of art; "triptych" describes a three-part work; tetraptych or quadriptych describes 4 parts; pentaptych describes 5 parts; hexaptych describes 6 parts; heptaptych describes 7 parts; and octaptych is the term used for an eight-part, or eight-panel, work of art.
Polyptychs typically display one "central" or "main" panel that is usually the largest of the attachments, while the other panels are called "side" panels, or "wings." Sometimes, as evident in the Ghent and Isenheim works, the hinged panels can be varied in arrangement to show different "views" or "openings" in the piece.
Polyptychs were most commonly created by early Renaissance painters, the majority of which designed their works to be altarpieces in churches and cathedrals. The polyptych form of art was also quite popular among ukiyo-e printmakers of Edo period Japan.
The term polyptych can also refer to certain medieval manuscripts, particularly of Carolingian works, in which the columns on the page are framed with borders that resemble polyptych paintings. Another meaning of the word may also refer collectively to all multi-panel paintings; it refers not only to a style of art, but also refers to an altar display.

What do McDonald's french fries and Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" have in common? Right: The work of Luther Burbank
"Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul."
Luther Burbank
In the author's preface of his book "Think and Grow Rich", Napoleon Hill mentions a list of 27 well known men. They had admitted that they had accumulated their vast fortunes by making use of "the Carnegie secret". This secret had laid the groundwork for Napoleon Hill's books "The Law of Success in 16 Lessons" and "Think and Grow Rich"
Among these men was Luther Burbank. His name is still well known and perhaps you have already had one of his creation for lunch. If you occasionally have french fries at a McDonald's restaurant, chances are good that your fries were made from Russet Burbank potatoes, because a large percentage of McDonald's french fries are made from this special large brown-skinned, white-fleshed variety.
Luther Burbank was an "American botanist, horticulturist and a pioneer in agricultural science" (Wikipedia). He was born on March 7, 1849 in Lancaster, Massachusetts and died on April 11, 1926 at the age of 77 in Santa Rosa, California.
Luther Burbank, also known as the "Wizard of Horticulture" and "Plant Wizard of California", created hundreds of useful varieties of fruits, flowers, vegetables, grains and grasses. One of his most amazing creations was a spineless cactus, which is useful for cattle feed.
Even though he had only received an elementary education, a little above high school, Luther Burbank revolutionized agriculture and food production in the 19th and 20th century. His inspirational guide was Charles Darwin's "The Variations of Animals and Plants under Domestication".

Outdoor weddings have become a trend for couples who are looking for a wedding that is beyond the traditional. The fact that an outdoor wedding ceremony is already surrounded with beautiful scenery makes it even more popular because this means fewer expenses for the decoration. With so many outdoor venues to choose, finding that perfect place to hold your big day is not too much of a difficult task.
Finding inexpensive ways to decorate your outdoor wedding should not be too hard either. Here is a practical guide that will help you come up with nice and wonderful decorations for your outdoor wedding without going beyond your budget.
Where, oh where?
The venue of the outdoor wedding is one of the factors that will determine what kind of decorations to have. Since outdoor locations vary, you have to make your choice first to make the decoration planning simpler and easier. Some of these ideas will help you get started:
Beach – White folding chairs, tropical flowers, tiki torches, driftwood decorations, centerpieces made of shells and sand
Backyard – Printed backdrops, tarpaulins, lattice fences, trellis of flowers, wire arch of flowers or balloons
Garden – Floral arrangements, garlands, tulle, lights, tea light candles
Park – Flowers arranged neatly on pills or columns, balloon sculptures, candles, Grecian columns
Table Centerpiece: Center of Attraction
Table centerpieces are some of the most important elements of wedding decoration. To save on this aspect, try making it a do-it-yourself project with the help of your bridesmaids or friends. Here are some table centerpiece ideas that are easy to make.
- Put a candle inside a tall glass, wrap the glass with thin handmade paper and you will have one elegant piece of a candle table centerpiece.
- Find some mason jars at home, put some flowers in it and tie the jar with a raffia ribbon.
- Borrow some small potted plants from your dad's garden and decorate the pots with satin ribbon.
- Get a hold of a clear vase, fill it up with sand, and top it off with seashells, starfish and other great finds on the beach.
More Ideas on Inexpensive Outdoor Wedding Décor
- Use tulle to hang around the edges of gazebos, podiums, aisles, trellises and so on. Tulle is an expensive material that can add a touch of class to your wedding.
- Do not tie all the chairs with a bow tie, have it on every other chair only or only on the chairs located near the aisle.
- Opt for balloons to decorate a wedding trellis or arch. If you really want to use flowers, choose those that are grown in your area and are in season.
- Rent a tent. It may add to the cost of the wedding but it pays to be sure that your guests will be kept safe from sudden burst of rains or extreme heat. If possible, find a venue that provides free tent covering.
- Gather some friends to trim the lawn in your backyard. To save the extra cost of hiring someone to manicure the lawn, turn the chore into one afternoon of fun and enjoyment by making it a time to do the chore together and have some bonding moment.
- Use candles for lighting. Instead of equipping the venue with light bulbs that cost a lot, use candles that would even add a dramatic effect to the event.
Outdoors weddings are always fun. Not only do people get to enjoy the wonderful warmth of the sun and the cool breeze, the beauty of nature also makes the event beautiful and stunning. To ensure that you make the most out of your outdoor wedding celebration, keep all of these tips in mind.

Kobe An Shabu Shabu could start swishing in February
Strolling through lower LoHi this weekend, we stopped by 3400 Osage to check on the transformation of the former Little Pepina's to Kobe An. Since this spot applied for its liquor license, it's subtracted "Japanese Fondue" and added "Shabu Shabu" to its name -- not just to indicate what will be a featured menu item, but also to differentiate this spot from Kobe An in Lakewood.
See also: Kobe An showcases plant-based Japanese cuisine in the southern suburbs
According to Kobe An Shabu Shabu's Facebook page,"Shabu Shabu is the Japanese version of fondue. It consists of thinly sliced beef and vegetables cooked at your table and served with 2 delicious dipping sauces along with steamed rice. It is a healthy and hearty meal. Shabu shabu translates to 'swish, swish,' referring to the way the beef is cooked by swishing it in the pot."
Sukiyaki will also be a featured menu item.
After a few delays, Kobe An Shabu Shabu is now shooting for an early February opening.

The greatest challenge for Quartz will be attracting a readership away from well-established brands (and much bigger newsroom resources) of places like The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal, especially with the wide-ranging topics its reporters plan to cover. Given that Quartz is unlikely to match its competitors on original reporting, editors are hoping that the site's visual appeal and personal tone will take them far. "It would be a win for us if Quartz became recognized as a discerning eye," Seward said.
Correction: An earlier version of this article misspelled Kevin J. Delaney's last name.

Maybe the only thing I don't love about Moda Operandi is when a much-anticipated purchase arrives a little too early to be wearable (i.e., the giant Thakoon anorak that landed on my doorstep damp from the sauna that was July). It's great to have my order the second it's ready—of course—but I still kind of want to open a box and put whatever's in it on my body, right that instant.
Today's Jason Wu sale on the trunk show site should eliminate that sort of delay, though. Those leather paneled tops, navy dresses and lace pants should be perfectly ready to wear whenever they arrive early next year, whether that's in eat-dinner-outside-April or in sleeping-bag-coat-necessary-January (as is the delivery range). Marrying a brooding palette and tough textures with feminine, breezy silhouettes, they truly are year-round pieces—and what's a better investment than that?

July 30, 2012 - Posted by David to Pen Pals Interviews
A new interview series featuring notable people within the pen, art, and design worlds. JetPens is pleased to introduce Mike Rohde. Welcome to the world of sketchnoting.
Mike Rohde: The Sketchnoter from size43, LLC on Vimeo. Tell us about yourself, who you are, and what you do. My name is Mike Rohde. I'm a designer, illustrator and sketchnoter living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I'm a husband and father of two with a 3rd child on the way in September. I love to spend time with my family, and enjoy listening to music, reading and bicycling. My day job is as a user interface designer at Gomoll Research + Design in Milwaukee. At GRD, I design user interfaces based on user-centered design principles — that is - design focused on making software easier for users to understand and use. We do extensive research and observation of users to help determine design direction and the structure of applications. I also run a small firm called Rohdesign Studios, where I focus on illustration and sketchnoting work. I've done illustrations for several design agencies and for three books: REWORK, The $100 Startup and Little Book of Talent (released Aug 21). I also provide sketchnoting services for event organizers - attending events live or remotely and creating sketchnotes from the speakers. Finally, I'm writing my book, The Sketchnote Handbook, as a project through my small studio. What is sketchnoting? Sketchnoting is a way of taking notes that includes traditional handwritten text, but adds visual elements, like drawings, hand-drawn typography, icons, separators, arrows and more. The visual aspect of sketchnotes makes them more fun to create and more interesting to review later. The other key trait of sketchnoting is a focus on the big ideas a speaker is presenting, rather than trying to capture every last detail of a presentation. By letting go of every detail and focusing on central themes, someone sketchnoting can take time to process ideas and convert them into visual concepts. How does sketchnoting compare with regular note taking? Regular note taking is great. I still do it when it's appropriate - like in a board meeting where I have to capture lots of detail. Sketchnoting is different in that your goal is to end up with a more visual representation - a map of the ideas you are hearing and thinking about as someone is presenting ideas, rather than every last word. Who can utilize sketchnoting? I believe anyone can create and make use of sketchnoting. Because sketchnoting is about ideas and not art quality, even non-artists can use simple drawings and elements made up of squares, circles, triangles, lines and dots to capture ideas visually. Take us through your process of sketchnoting from start to finish. Here's my process: 1. I arrive a bit early, so I can find a good spot in the room and do a little advanced work before the speaker begins their presentation. 2. Sometimes I begin with a little research, or I'll use the time to find out more about a speaker and learn to spell their name correctly. 3. I like to prepare sketchnote title pages ahead of time - those typically include the speaker's name, the topic of the talk in nice typography and maybe a drawing of the person from a photo. That way I'm not scrambling to do it when the talk begins. 4. I sketchnote the talk - listening for big ideas that resonate with me and the ideas sparked in my head, turning them into drawings, text, lettering and other shapes on the page as I listen. 5. I take photos of my sketchnotes, sharing them on Twitter, Instagram and Flickr for those who can't be there (as a backup strategy). 6. When I get back home, I scan my sketchnotes at high resolution, post them to Flickr and often feature them on my own blog with insights about the event. Your work has inspired somewhat of a revolution in sketchnoting. Tell us more about your current projects such as The Sketchnote Handbook. The biggest project I'm working on right now is The Sketchnote Handbook, a book and companion video I'm writing, illustrating and producing with Peachpit Press, scheduled for release in Fall 2012. It's a book and video aimed at people interested in a practical guide to learning what sketchnotes are and creating them. The book is a bit different in that it will be completely illustrated. The video companionis being created to show the same concepts, but illustrated on camera. The other project is Sketchnote Army, which showcases the work of sketchnoters from around the world. I've been running the site since 2009, and now have the help of Binaebi Akah to help keep posts a bit more regular. What are your top favorite JetPens tools and why? 1. Nomadic CB-01 Wise-Walker Daypack - I'm a big fan of this pack in gray with orange interior. I've used it for day trips, weekend and business trips and especially sketchnoting gigs. It's flexible, has a ton of space and is my favorite backpack for carrying the iPad and all of the things I need for traveling and working. It's awesome. 2. Pentel EnerGel Needle-Point Liquid Ink Pen - 0.5 mm - Black - these are my preferred pens for sketchnoting. They flow well, dry fast and feel good to use. I prefer the 0.7 for more ink flow, but also like the 0.5. 3. Ohto Fine Ceramic Roller Ball Pen in silver is a favorite of mine - the angled cap is very unique, and I was able to hack a few other gel inserts into the body. However, I need to reorder because I've lost this pen and miss it dearly! 4. Maruman Mnemosyne Imagination A4 Notebook is a favorite for creating wireframes in pencil or pen and marker. The paper is smooth and takes both pencil and ink/marker well, and I love the subtle grid lines on the pages. Some of Mike Rohdes's favorite JetPens tools: Have any advice for aspiring designers/sketchnoters? For designers, illustrators and sketchnoters, my best advice is to invest the time in doing the work you love and getting better. Never be satisfied with where you might be - there is always another level you can aspire to and move to. Fortunately, design, illustration and sketchnoting are all active practices you must continually do. My challenge is to push and try new things out, experiment. Your own side projects are great for this research and development. Sketchnoting came about because I experimented with visual notes because plain notes had become boring for me. That experiment has spoken to many people around the world, has led to them trying it and now, a book and video to teach others the process.

really handy. We like to cook ours with some cumin, onion powder and chopped hot peppers. Add a bit of rice and you have a veggie base for your homemade tortillas. Quick, easy and very tasty.

I love these quick cooked black beans! I cook them with my rice to make black beans and rice, and they are both done at the same time. I also use them in making a fantastic quinoa salad. Easy to use!

I use these primarily to make my black bean soup, and am not going back to regular beans. I can decide that I want black bean soup when I get home from work, and be enjoying it about 30-40 minutes later using all Honeyville products. No pre-soaking. No additives. Just great healthy eating.
Review by Ronald (Posted on 5/6/14)
I use them as a base for making a great burrito/taco fillings and taco salad by adding Taco Flavored TVP and refried beans.

We love the quick cook black beans for cooking. They don't hold their shape well so aren't really the best for salads or a recipe where you want the whole bean but for tacos burritos and similar meals they work great.

DOTHAN, Al, November 4, 2012 — It is fascinating to ponder what it is about opposition that drives liberals to such hysteria and makes them so sarcastic and angry. What makes these creatures tick, and why do they act like teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert when any Democratic candidate gets up to talk about whatever nonsense du jour Democratic candidates talk about?
Why do liberals throw themselves so ecstatically at Barack Obama, as if he were a cross between film star and Savior? Their fervor and frenzy when the Great One speaks conjures images from B-movies about devil worshipers at a virgin sacrifice.
The Obama campaign for 2012 is like a carnival of the damned: bright and attractive from the outside, venomous when you walk in the door. Obama's message of "hope and change" from 2008 has deteriorated into desperate pleas to vote as revenge. Revenge? Against who or what? Against regular citizens who just happen to disagree with you? Against citizens who need jobs? Against citizens who have lost their homes, their incomes and their savings? Is he advocating some kind of additional punishment, beyond the failures of the past four years, for not buying into Marxist-based ideology? Seriously?
Politicians come and politicians go. They lie and they make promises they can't keep. Politicians are among the least trusted people in the country, though American politicians don't hold a monopoly on dishonesty. In many countries the citizens just have to put up with whatever they are given without much say, if any, about who gets to be the boss. In the United States – and Obama should get this point – the leader reports to the people, NOT the other way around. Liberals totally miss that point and for whatever reason get a warm and fuzzy feeling when told that the government will protect them from life's bumps and bruises.
It would be interesting to examine some liberals, who these days roam the landscape like zombies looking for conservative brains to devour, to see what's inside. What makes them so angry? Is it early dementia from a subdural hematoma? Do they collectively suffer from Tourette's Syndrome that causes them to shout out obscenities and nonsensical phrases whenever they encounter someone with different beliefs? Perhaps they suffer from chronic pain somewhere in their bodies that makes them disagreeable or, worse yet, perhaps they suffer from addiction and need to constantly hear the words "you are so special" to satisfy their cravings.
Conservatives have to accept that we live in a more liberal society now, and in some ways that's a good thing. Liberalism is expensive, and we're rich enough to afford it for a while. Not all social changes are bad. Life is better in many ways, but some important morals and values of the past have also been cast out because liberals simply cannot accept any kind of limitations on themselves. People born since the 1960's know nothing but progressivism in all aspects of their lives, and many were raised by parents who eschewed saying the word "no" for fear of harming their children's supposedly delicate self-esteem.
We all know people who were probably raised that way who have been trying to introduce race to this election. They claim that white men are no longer in control of the world and are uncomfortable at having a black man to report to. First off, citizens don't report to the president; he is supposed to report to us. Second, most white men would be more than happy to follow a competent black man who loved the Constitution, was honest, and had strong leadership skills. There are quite a few men and women, black, white, tan and yellow, who fit that description. Unfortunately the man we have at the helm right now is not one of them and it's about time to stop pretending he is.
We, the citizens of America, have ignored the ongoing deterioration of every principle that made this nation great in the first place. We should never want a return to the bigotry and hatreds of the "good old days" and their gross unfairness to many Americans, but there is an expression that applies – "don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Loyalists to the current president are ready to do just that, but it's about time for the rest of us to stand firm and not follow down that path to eventual self destruction.
It's about time to stand up for basic decency. It's about time to push back on the progressive agenda. It's about time to get out next Tuesday and vote for a new leader. It's about time to let the system work the way it's supposed to and replace someone who fails at the job. It's about time to put someone new in the office of president.
It's about time to fire Barack Obama and hire Mitt Romney. If Romney fails, we'll do the same with him in another four years.

CRIB NOTESCourteney Cox and David Arquette confirmed on Tuesday what had been rumored for three months: The couple is expecting their first child. That marks a reversal from the denials issued since October, when Cox's brother-in-law, Alexis Arquette, reportedly blabbed about his impending unclehood during a visit to Sharon Osbourne's talk show. One tabloid report, published last week in the Star, quoted a neighbor of the Cox-Arquettes as saying that Alexis Arquette, who does a drag act as ''Eva Destruction,'' had moved into his brother and sister-in-law's home in order to serve as their nanny. The couple haven't announced the baby's due date or sex, but the would-be Mrs. Doubtfire was ''dying'' for a niece, the neighbor reportedly told the Star, adding: ''You'd think Alexis was the pregnant one, the way he gushes over the plans.'' The couple's response to this story, according to a family friend quoted in the Chicago Sun-Times: ''They thought that was the funniest thing they had ever heard, topping all of the tabloid stories written about them to date.''
Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston has given a number of interviews lately, while making the rounds to promote her starring role in the upcoming romantic comedy ''Along Came Polly,'' saying she, too, is finally ready to start a family, now that ''Friends'' is ending. That should please not only husband Brad Pitt, who reportedly grumbled when the deal for a 10th season of ''Friends'' came together because it would postpone his potential fatherhood for a year, but also Aniston's mother, Nancy. Daughter and mother had been estranged for years, thanks to Mom's dishing to the press and in a memoir. But now, Aniston tells Vogue magazine, she's on the verge of reconciling with her mother. ''I think there comes a point where you have to grow up and get over yourself and forgive. I definitely see that there's hope,'' she says in the current issue. ''I see myself, I look in the mirror... and I'm like, 'You're Nancy. You've become her, so you may as well call her.'''
PAST AND PRESENTS The ''Friends'' sextet are creative shoppers; then again, they can afford to be. People magazine reports that, for the final holiday party on the show's set, held Dec. 19, the cast bought everyone in the crew a PalmOne Zire 71, a combination PDA/digital camera/MP3 and video player, valued at $249 apiece. People also reports that Aniston bought Pitt a $5,000 silk screen reproduction of a 1972 Steve McQueen mugshot for his 40th birthday on Dec. 18. (For Christmas, she got him a custom Rolex watch. Yawn.) According to tabloid reports, Pitt responded equally creatively. At the costume party thrown for his birthday, at which Aniston dressed as Helen of Troy (in homage to Pitt's upcoming movie ''Troy''), Pitt dressed as his wife's teenage crush, Simon Le Bon, and serenaded her with a karaoke version of Duran Duran's ''Wild Boys.'' Good thing Aniston didn't have a crush on that Flock of Seagulls guy.

Jacksonville Woman Indicted For Wire Fraud Related To The Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill
Jacksonville, FL - U.S. Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announced today that a federal grand jury in Jacksonville has returned an indictment charging Patrina Lott (37, Jacksonville) with eight counts of wire fraud, arising out of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. If convicted, Lott faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. The indictment also notifies Lott that the United States intends to forfeit $91,912.38, which is alleged to be traceable to proceeds of the offense.
According to the indictment, Lott was an employee of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility ("GCCF") call center in Jacksonville. The GCCF had been established to review and process claims for damages arising out of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The indictment alleges that Lott used her position as a GCCF employee to falsely cause the reissue, via wire transfers, of previously issued genuine oil spill claims to bank accounts in Jacksonville, to which she had access.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of the federal criminal laws, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
The case was investigated by the United States Secret Service and will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kathleen O'Malley.

Father reflects on FedEx plane named for his son, 8-yr-old St Jude patient and cancer survivor |
FedEx Express is naming a Cessna Caravan plane in honor of a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital patient, the son of a FedEx team member. The dedication event takes place in conjunction with the 2013 FedEx St. Jude Classic golf tournament at TPC Southwind in Memphis, TN.
The boy's father, Chris Brown share his thoughts:
In 13 years with FedEx, I have watched colleagues give selflessly to customers, to other colleagues, and to complete strangers. From the all-hands-on-deck support after a natural disaster to a small, private gesture of support for a colleague in need, our people always come through. Starting in January of 2010, I was on the receiving end of this giving.
That is the month that my then five-year old son, Hayes, was diagnosed with cancer.
Through nearly three years of chemotherapy, surgeries, recurrence, more chemotherapy, and more surgeries, my work family never left my side. Food, words of encouragement, hospital visits, toys and prayers were gentle reminders that they were always there for me.
Having a FedEx plane named after your child is an enormous honor for any FedEx employee. Having a FedEx plane branded with the St. Jude logo and named after your happy, healthy eight-year old is almost beyond words. In many ways, this plane is a symbol of the support and care that FedEx colleagues provide each other in the most difficult of times.
If Hayes had been born 50 years ago, this story would probably have a much different ending. When you look at what childhood cancer survival rates were when Danny Thomas laid out his vision for St. Jude and then think about Mr. Smith's vision for FedEx over 40 years ago, it's easy to see that Hayes is living proof of dreams supporting dreams. To me this plane is the embodiment of those visions coming together and I am honored that it is my son is a part of it.
My hope is that this plane also serves as a reminder that the work is not done. St. Jude was able to treat my son because someone gave long before Hayes was a patient.
Tomorrow, another parent will enter the front doors of St. Jude and donations from someone who doesn't even know his child will help save her.

Such a heart touching story! Blessings to you and your family Hayes. Please continue to send contributions to St Judes and all Children's hospitals. I have a grandson with Left Heart Hypoplasty, meaning he only has the right side of his heart. He will need a heart transplant as a half of heart cannot support a full grown body. He is 11 now. Please, please help support these hospitals/foundations if you are able. Happy Holidays!! |

Re: #8 when I was in your shoes I contacted my natural gas company and gave them a list of everything that would be on the gas line re: BTUs and asked if the meter was sufficient and they confirmed it wasn't and for no charge put in a new gas meter that was sufficient for what I'd be running. Perhaps your gas company would do the same. |
