Where is Your Faith?
Going through a tough time? Connect with a mentor for a supportive voice.
In times of disappointment, heartache, sickness or discontent when the storms of life are raging all around God sometimes feels very far away. We can start to wonder why He let this happen, or why He isn't doing something, right now, to stop it or fix it. He could have prevented this storm and He didn't. As we come to the end ourselves in our storms of life, we angrily cry out, "Lord, don't you care?" And His reply is, "Where is your faith?"
If you are not currently experiencing a time of difficulty, or time of doubt and uncertainty, then PRAISE God! But get ready, because Jesus assured us in John 16:33 (NLT),
"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world!"
Jesus in the midst of the storm
In Luke 8:22-25 and Mark 4:35-40 (NLT), we find the disciples with Jesus, in a boat, taking a trip to the other side of the Sea of Galilee . They might have expected this would be one of the most amazing trips they'd ever take, and it was; just not in the way they expected.
As they crossed the Sea, a raging storm came upon them, out of nowhere. This storm brought these expert fishermen to the very end of themselves. They thought they were going to die. Have you ever been in a situation like that? One where there seems to be no way out, nothing you can do to save yourself? That same desperation is what the disciples must have felt that night. The storm was too big. We can look at their situation and think, "Didn't they realize they had Jesus in the boat with them?" Listen, Jesus is in the boat with you too.
The disciples struggle to keep their boat from capsizing. Finally, as a last ditch effort, turn to Jesus in anger, crying out, "Teacher, don't you care that we are going to drown?" As they look to Him, they find Him sleeping on a cushion, in the back of the boat. When we finally turn to Jesus, we too angrily cry out, "Lord, don't you care?" As we look to Him, we find Him resting. We wonder, "How can He rest at a time like this?"
As the story continues, Jesus awakes and says to the storm, "Peace! Be Still!" and there was instant calming. A word from Jesus was all it took. The disciple's desperation ceased and they were left in awe and amazement. We shouldn't criticize ourselves too much for our lack of faith. The Disciples had witnessed the greatest miracles of Jesus, yet they were consumed with fear. Jesus was physically with them, and they waited until the last minute to ask Him for help. We wonder, "Shouldn't it have it occurred to them, to ask Him for help, right away?" We should ask ourselves that same question in the desperate situations we face. Why go through all the worry and struggle, when we can just ask Jesus to calm the storm?
We can declare, "It's just not that easy. Besides, Jesus was with them, physically." If we believe in God's Word, if we trust completely in what He says, then we must know that He is with us too. Isaiah 41:10 says, "Do not fear for I am with you." Matthew 28:20 says, "I am with you always" So the question is, do you believe He is? When we're consumed with fear and doubt and the wind and waves are taking us under, we can be assured that Jesus is with us.
We know that we need to trust Jesus, but practically, how do we do that when we're being tossed about? Trusting in God means: seeking Him, entering into His rest, and trusting in His Word. Our faith requires action.
- Faith seeks God in all things at all times. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus was very specific in telling those who were heavy-laden and overburdened to come to Him. If we're experiencing fear and doubt, it's because we're not trusting God. We can't trust Him in some things and not in others. There's no such thing as God being almost sovereign.
If our situation needs a miracle, then we must realize that God is the only One that can perform that miracle. We must go to Him in prayer, casting all our cares on Him, and trust that He will handle it all, in His way, in His timing, which is always perfect. We must stop "laboring," and start trusting. - Faith enters into God's rest. In a violent, life-threatening storm, Jesus was peacefully asleep. In our storms of life, we too, can enter into rest with God. We must stop trying to do what only God can do. Often times, we are to stand still and watch God work (1 Chronicles 20: 15-17). Most of the time He simply wants us to believe (2 Chronicles 16:9).Entering into God's rest, means continuing to trust Him, even if, our situation does not change. We can't change our circumstances if the circumstances we are in are God's will. We must trust that He has promised to work ALL things for good (Jeremiah 29:11). We might not be able to see how the trials and tribulations of our lives can possibly be used for good, but God is sovereign, we are not; His ways are higher and His ways are far better (Isaiah 55:8-9).
- Faith trusts God and His Word. You can't be an unbelieving believer. You either trust God or you don't. You trust His Word or you don't. Faith does not walk by sight, because every time you step out in faith, you can rest assured, you are going to be challenged with something that contradicts it. Faith is a choice, not a feeling.It is choice that declares, regardless of the way things appear, "I trust God." Never forget that God sees your life from beginning to end. He is all-knowing, all-caring, and all-loving. There is nothing in your life that goes beyond His control. Trust Him to bring about victory in your life. You won't be disappointed (1 Chronicles 5:20; Psalm 22:5).
If you find your faith and fear colliding, look to Jesus. He has not jumped out of the boat of your life. Seek God, enter into his rest, trust His Word. When the storms of life hit you won't have to dust off your Bible or go searching for a lost prayer. You'll know where you faith is.

Timely article!
Resting in God is a testimony of trust. You let Him be in control of what you cannot do.
Thankyou . :) God bless you?
I experienced a satanic attack. I experienced evil and things I never imagined a human being could ever experience. I love God and I questioned Him and stopped trusting the way I should. I am struggling every day to get my relationship right with God, because I am constantly trying to figure out what happen to me. I really had to trust God and believe His Word in spite of what happen to me. The Holy Spirit is what is keeping me. God is so Awesome. He loves me and fights for me even as I had distorted views about Him and His Word because of what happened to me. All I want is to be right with God, to be Holy and Righteous again. To live for God and win souls for the kingdom of God. Please pray for my strength and for me to be able to live freely and worship God as I was meant to, in Spirit and in Truth. He has told me time and time again that He has given me power over the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me. I have to get settled in my soul, I need God's Presence and His Truth to permeate my soul..
Please pray for restoration of my marriage. Divorce case is 99.9 percent complete but I know with God everything is possible in Jesus name.
JAMIE and FARAJA DOMINGUEZ and all members of this group, thanks a lot for your prayers..So suprising..!! Right now I'm celebrating the goodness of almighty God…my prayers have been answered..!! May Lord Jesus bless you all
Message…."God's time is the best time"..I pray for those who are passing through hard times and troubles,,.may God visit them now!.. in Jesus name I pray..Amen! -
The slipping away, and climbing back up… We go through Valleys sometimes where it is difficult and we are challenged, and I think the secret (from my experience) to raising higher is how well we made it thought the valley, how tightly did we cling to Jesus during that time of difficulty? And it seems that I remain in the Valley longer when I have fears or doubts. And even though I know this, I can still be caught off guard and it takes me back and I have to catch my breath or regain my balance. I would love it if we can ever get to a point in life where we do not have to go through Valleys anymore, but it just is not possible. The good news is, the deeper the valley, the higher the mountain when you get through it, so although times get harder, and requires more Faith, then it seems we are rewarded when we make it though. (not without some pain) but we always learn, and then we are always able to help others who are in the same valley we were once in.
Hallo faraja. I praise God to see that you still keep faith in God even though you had to experiment such a rough times.
May God remember you -
Thanks a lot Jamie…..thank you so much,,, you made me to realize something which i didnt know..i promise you i will trust in Lord waiting for Gods time to come…..i will let you know.
Thanks a lot Jamie…..thank you so much,,, you made me to realize something which i didnt know..i promise you i will trust in Lord waiting for Gods time to come…..i will let you know
This article has increased my faith…..as iam in terrible situation now,in getting a job. Iam a medical doctor graduated 2months ago….please my brethren in christ pray together with me…. But i beleave that God will make a way where seems to be no way as says in isiah 55:8-9
Trust in his word? Errrr…which part of it? The Bible is a very large book.
Faith is very much a feeling, not a choice. You either trust someone or you don't and trust is not something that can be learned in a world as terrible as this.
Trusting in God is easy when life turns out reasonably ok. For anyone else, it is easier said than done. I used to be one of those people who thought that if only you trust God enough then everything will turn out fine.
Well it didnt. And now I know better.
Thanks Cherie. Thats exactly what I need right now(Faith and Trust).My husband is having stage 3,pancreatic cancer and he is in a bad state, our finances are not going well because I had to stop working to take care of him, his family is not supporting me at all but they blame me for causing the cancer through witchcraft and threatening me with death. But I will not be move or get shaken by all these because I know that my God is greater than the current situation and He has already won the battle for me. I am safely resting under the shadow of his wings. Please also intercede for me.
Really, at times we feel like Jesus is asleep and our boats are just about to capsize, but thanks to the Holy spirit who keeps us awake and reminds us about the great Love of God.
He will always be there for us.
Lets always take it to the Lord in prayer! -
so inspiring!!!..Amen..God is good..i am keeping the faith!
I was led to meditate on 'Where is your faith" and decided to research. Thank you for this insightful article. God bless.
Thank God for the words He gave you. It is very informative and helpful. At times we tend to get anxious especially if God has given us His word and we don't see any changes in our current situation. Actually sometimes it seems as if things are getting worse. But I pray that we truly learn to trust God and believe in His words. God Bless you.
I have experience on where total faith can take you, last year all odds were against me succeeding in my job, despite the strength of the opposition, i entered into his rest and put all my hopes in Christs promise in john14:12 and again in mathew 7:7-8, this year my life is a testimony of the faith that moves mountains.
Nice article.
what does it mean to say "Enter into His rest"? -

From Dr. Jim Angel of our Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition Science:
"The Southeast Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine is a society that promotes and integrates scientific research, education, and practical applications of sports medicine and exercise science. The chapter consists of 10 states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,and Virginia). In Greenville, SC, over 900 members attended the annual meeting in early February. Samford had the privilege of submitting 6 undergraduate research projects to peer-review for consideration of being presented at the annual meeting. Dr. John Petrella, Assistant Professor in the Kinesiology and Nutrition Science Department, not only led the group to South Carolina but served as the mentor on many of the research projects. While there, he was elected to the Executive Board of the Southeast Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine as an at-large member for a 2 year appointment.
"One hundred and seventy-two posters were accepted for presentation. Of those 172 presentations, approximately 50 posters were based on undergraduate research from the 10 different states represented at the conference. The department was very proud that all 6 of the posters from the Kinesiology and Nutrition Science Dept. were accepted and eleven Samford student investigators were able to attend the 3 day meeting to present their research. Each year, the executive board of the SEACSM chapter sponsors are search competition. Of the undergraduate posters submitted, 8 were selected as finalists for the competition and presented at a special question/answer session for judging by a 3 member panel of experts. Chase Inman (sports administration, '12 graduate) and Lexi Bauer (current sports administration major) were one of the eight selected finalists and, after judging, earned 3rd place in the undergraduate category for the project titled 'Effects of Shod versus Barefoot Running on Lower Limb Muscle Activation.' This was an interesting project where the students collected information on how the body recruits muscle fibers in the lower leg during different footwear conditions when running. While completing this project, Mr. Inman and Miss Bauer were able to experience and develop expertise in a sophisticated research technique based on electromyography. They collected electromyography data on five different muscles in 24 individuals. Findings from this project suggests that running barefoot may be less fatiguing to some lower leg muscles than running with shoes. These students worked very hard on their research capstone and it was very satisfying to see them recognized and rewarded for their efforts by experts in the field of sports medicine and exercise science."
The world is better because of the engagement of Samford's faculty and students in applied research.
The mission of Samford University is to nurture persons in their development of intellect, creativity, faith, and personhood. As a Christian university, the community fosters academic, career, and ethical competency while encouraging social and civic responsibility, and service to others.
The Samford community values lifelong:
Anchored in Christian understanding, Samford University will be a diverse community, stressing vigorous learning and personal faith, in the Baptist tradition. Within that commonality, the Community will be innovative in teaching, learning and research; sensitive to global issues; aggressive in self-assessment and continuous improvement. Faithful to its mission, Samford will be known and acknowledged worldwide by holding to its core values. The world will be better for it.

"We got these as name labels for our sons school personal items. They stand out as adorable he loves the fun of some of his favorite heros. We get compliments on them all the time and even purchased the note cards and gift tags."
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"
"I've received this stickers in four days; although, I wasn't expecting them till a week or so. But love the shipping since it was fast. I'm going to use this as part of my daughter's 1st birthday favors and the quality and the way it looks is perfect!"
"I was able to personalize these gift tags w/ the full date of the shower and then used them as sticker's to make keepsake book marks for my sister's guests! (we did a book-themed party since we didn't know the baby's gender of the baby!) Everyone loved them. We also used the stickers as cupcake toppers! We stuck them on different colored cardstock and cut them out, leaving just about an 1/8 inch edge and stuck them in our cupcakes - perfect complimentary shower decorations! Oh - we changed the graphic from the heart to the question-mark so it would match the invitations. So simple to make that request and Tiny Prints called and sent proofs showing me what it would look like both ways. So professional and courteous. I will definitely order from them again!"
"We ordered these custom stickers as lunch bag sealers for our sons 1st birthday. They arrived super fast, and the quality is great. We've had so many compliments, and they added the perfect personalized touch to our sons superhero party."

a number of things, including a chance for Oz to diversify away from its
excessive dependence on China resource trade, as well as the other points
I listed below.
nearly all politics is driven by the domestic, so of course it has
something to do with timing. Gillard has already disappointed the left in
her party so much, she knows that for every one she loses because of this
decision, she will pick up one or two more in marginal swing seats. Labor
would have already done a lot of polling on this ... (trust me on this)

Another way to look at it is that it is more an attack on Liberal given
that this is a policy that they will HAVE to support given that they
wanted it 6 years ago. They'll be trapped in to either supporting Labor
policy (something that Abbot steadfastly refuses to do over any issue)
or being accused of outright obstructionism.

Gillard's push for uranium sales to India
Phillip Coorey
November 15, 2011
THE Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has set the scene for a brawl at
the ALP national conference by calling on the party to reverse its
policy and allow uranium exports to India.
Calling for a policy change that is likely to be adopted, Ms Gillard
says it is time for Labor to broaden its platform and ''strengthen our
connection with dynamic, democratic India''.
Labor has long resisted selling uranium to India, which has nuclear
weapons and nuclear power, because it refuses to sign the nuclear
non-proliferation treaty, a prerequisite Labor policy puts on uranium
The opposition has been demanding for years that the government change
policy so Australia can tap into the lucrative and growing Indian
market and the Indians have also been applying pressure.
In a column in the Herald today, Ms Gillard says uranium sent to India
would have to be accompanied by guarantees it not be used for weapons.
''We must, of course, expect of India the same standards we do of all
countries for uranium export - strict adherence to International
Atomic Energy Agency arrangements and strong bilateral and
transparency measures which will provide assurances our uranium will
be used only for peaceful purposes.''
Her call is likely to meet fierce resistance from the Left at the
conference next month and Ms Gillard says there should be an argument.
''I'm looking forward to some noise being made,'' she said.
The policy change would signal another shift in Labor's uranium
policy. In 2007, it ditched its no new mines policy.
Ms Gillard will try today to placate the Left by also supporting a
change in policy to allow a conscience vote on gay marriage. The Left
wants full legalisation of gay marriage.
The Foreign Affairs Minister, Kevin Rudd, was in India yesterday and
is understood to have conveyed Ms Gillard's position on uranium to the
Indian government. She says it does not make sense to sell uranium to
China, Japan and the US but not India.
She badges the policy about-face as an economic and environmental
measure. Australia is the world's third largest uranium exporter. It
contributes a relatively small $750 million to the economy but creates
4200 jobs. Ms Gillard will argue that nuclear power is a cleaner
source of energy for the rapidly developing India.
''[We] must be prepared to confront difficult questions about
maximising prosperity and the strength of our relationships in our
region of the world''.
At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, where Indian
officials and businessmen were lobbying behind the scenes, Mr Rudd
said India did not need Australian uranium. ''There is no problem in
terms of global supply. Let's just be very, very blunt about this,''
he said.
''If you hear an argument from an Indian business person that the
future of the nuclear industry in India depends exclusively on access
to uranium, that is simply not sustainable as a proposition. Have a
look at the data.''
But sources close to Mr Rudd say he has privately supported the policy
change for some time.
The Premier, Barry O'Farrell, now in Mumbai leading a 30-strong
business delegation and unaware of Ms Gillard's call, lashed out at
the Commonwealth's ban on uranium sales to India, describing it as
"I believe that when the new government is elected in Australia, the
ban will be lifted, though I want the existing government to make the
change," Mr O'Farrell told India's newspaper Business Standard.

Time to supply uranium to 'rising giant', says PM
November 15, 2011 - 2:53PM
Prime Minister Julia Gillard says the time has come to lift a ban on
uranium sales to India.
Ms Gillard will ask next month's ALP national conference to overturn
long-standing party policy that allows uranium to be sold only to
nations that have signed up to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
India is not a signatory to the treaty.
Advertisement: Story continues below
"As India rises and brings hundreds of millions of people out of
poverty it will need more energy," Ms Gillard told reporters in
She cited economic benefits as one of three reasons for lifting the
Australia was the world's third largest supplier of uranium, which
contributed more than $750 million to the economy and created more
than 4200 jobs.
India was expected to increase its use of nuclear power from the
current 3 per cent of electricity generation to 40 per cent by 2050.
"India is our fourth biggest export markets, a market worth nearly $16
billion to Australia, with enormous potential to grow as India becomes
wealthier," Ms Gillard said.
India is looking to supply 40 per cent of its energy need through
nuclear energy.
"We are a very big supplier of uranium so having access to this new
and growing market is good for Australian jobs."
Ms Gillard said lifting the ban was another step forward in
Australia's relationship with India.
It came at a time when Australia faced a unique set of opportunities
in what she called the "Asian century".
"India as a rising giant will be part of that strong economic growth,"
Ms Gillard said.
"Put simply, our best possible partnership with India is also good for
Australian jobs."
Ms Gillard said Australia had pursued international diplomatic efforts
to bring India into the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
But the US-India Civil Nuclear Agreement, signed in 2005, changed that
"It effectively lifted the de facto international ban on co-operation
with India in this area," Ms Gillard said.
Australia would be penalised economically if the government continued
its ban on uranium sales to India.
India is forecast to lift its use of nuclear power from 3 per cent now
to a forecast 40 per cent in 2050.
"Given this change in diplomatic circumstances around the world, for
us to refuse to budge is all pain with no gain," Ms Gillard said.
She said Labor's national platform should recognise the reality of
selling uranium to India.
Ms Gillard said India was in a class of its own, unlike Israel and
She ruled out the use of nuclear energy in Australia, saying the
nation had access to abundant cheaper energy resources.

HD Tune Pro
Version and / or Patch Used: 4.00
Developer Homepage: http://www.efdsoftware.com
Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
Benchmark: measures the performance
Info: shows detailed information
Health: checks the health status by using SMART
Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
Temperature display
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has gained popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
If you've read the other articles published today, then you already know a bit about RAPID Mode. We're including the RAPID Mode benchmarks in the charts, but some of the charts look a little off since RAPID uses system RAM as a 1GB cache for the SSD.
Reading sequential data from the drive at full span does use RAPID as you can see in this chart. The 840 EVO 750GB does a really good job though without the external cache.
We see a small bump from RAPID for the first 750MB, but then the drive settles down to regular 840 EVO speeds. The EVO writes data quite a bit faster than the original 840. The 750GB model has a minimum sequential write speed of just over 405MB/s in this test.
HD Tach - Sequential Write Performance after Random Writes
In this format we can actually see the cache layers and how long they last for while writing the span of the drive. On the far left we see RAPID for a short period of time, then TurboWrite and finally the TLC flash. The spikes should be from either RAPID or TurboWrite cache flushing and then capturing more data. The read performance varies between 290MB/s and just under 500MB/s. At the end of this test with 128KB data, the read performance drops to just over 100MB/s. Normally we look at write performance in this test and see the write dip that low.

review by The Ron Patron
Tangled 2010
The Ron's review:
I'm not a big fan of this type of Disney film, (I'm more of a Pixar guy) but this one was pretty good and great for kids.
22 Comments
Nah you just tend to like family films more than I do. I'm very picky when it comes to those types of films.
and there's nothing wrong with that at all. I have an issue when a film is too kiddie which I know makes no sense if it's a kids film, but I need it to have something for me as well beings I'm a grown ass man.
Yeah Kung Fu Panda was merely OK to me and I haven't seen the second one. I know you didn't like WALL.E, but it's a favorite of mine along with Up, and Shrek. One of my all-time favorite family/kids films is The Neverending Story. I watched a very adult animated film recently well actually claymation called Mary & Max have you seen it? It's actually quite interesting.
Yeah it's really kind of bleak. I gave it 3 stars, but a lot of people like it better than that so definitely check it out. I would of rated it higher, but it's so damn depressing I couldn't do it.
Have you guys seen Mirrormask?
It's been on my watchlist forever.
Well I read your comment a while back about liking harmless stuff. This is a beautiful fable written by Neil Gaiman. Thought you might enjoy it.
My 4 year old says it's boring. I like it. And the songs are good.
Despite this being Disney, it felt like a Pixar film. Made up for the shitty Cars 2.
Yeah I didn't care much for the first Cars so I avoided Cars 2.

The Wolverine Citizen reports on the first Buick being built. Original paper with this story. Announcing the first Flint Buick in a race. |
Original map link. |
The Flint Daily Journal's account of the first test run of a new Buick. July 13, 1904. Bespattered with flying real estate from every county they had touched, but with the knowledge that they had made a "record", Tom Buick and W. L. Marr, of the Buick Motor Works, who left for Detroit on Saturday to give the first automobile turned out by that concern a trial on the road, returned to the city late yesterday afternoon. The test of the machine was eminently satisfactory, and, in fact, exceeded expectations. In spite of the muddy conditions of the roads the trip home was made in remarkable time of 3 hours and 37 minutes, or at the rate of a trifle less than a mile in 2 minutes, on the basis of the distance traversed as figured by the gentlemen in charge of the machine. Through a mistake they failed to take a right turn when near Lapeer and it was necessary for them to make an extra 15 miles. This increased the total distance of the run to nearly 115 miles as they passed through Pontiac, Orion, Oxford, Lapeer and Davison, not following the direct route. "The machine made the run without a skip." said Mr. Marr today, "and reached here in the best of condition. We took hills handily with our high speed gear and the machine sounded like a locomotive. It simply climbed. In one place we raced with an electric car and showed them the way. We went so fast at another time that we could not see the village 'six-mile-an-hour' sign." The machine used in making the trip is the $950 tonneau put out by the Buick company, and is equipped with a 12-horse power engine that can develop from 18 to 21 horse power on a pinch. It was provided with a "testing" body and was stripped of anything that would add unnecessary weight. Its long rakish looking body, covered with mud, gave it the appearance of a speeder and attracted much attention along the route of the run. Upon its return to the city the machine and its occupants, mud and all, were photographed by C. R. Quay.
Walter Marr And Tom Buick the day they returned from the Flint to Detroit test run, beside the Buick factory. They left Flint July 9th 1904 on a Saturday and returned Tuesday the 12th. The total miles covered was 115. Total driving time was 3 hours 37 minutes. Wolverine Citizen announcement for the first Buick. Story about early accessories including the rubber cover for engine shown above. |

Oh!! There aretoo many good ones!! I put Meeko cuz he's so cute and huggable(and i named my first dog Meeko too )
However, i think my all time favorite is Little Lightening, Thunderbolt's sidekick in 101 Dalmations 2: Patches London Adventure. He's also adorable but he has a really evil side to him!

Ahh, the Tiered Stripes Dress. How long did we all wait for it to hit sale?
I believe it was almost a year, no exaggeration whatsoever. Am I right? Would it be fair to say I had a vested interest in this dress? Yes indeed. And it paid off. Purchased on sale with the extra 25% off, this dress was $59. Sha-zam!
I own this same dress in a tank version, the Layered Column Dress, that I've worn more times than I can count. I wore it very pregnant, here and here. I've worn it many times since but haven't caught it on camera. The black and goldish tone stripes coupled with the asymmetrical layers on the dress are totally slimaflaging. Camouflaging + Slimming. I totes just made that up. Catchy though, eh?
The red color of this Tiered Stripes Dress isn't quite as forgiving as the black Layered Column, in my opinion. It's a bit body-con, like "Bow-chicka-bow-wow", if ya know what I mean. And welp, to be frank, sometimes….us ladies, well, we belly bloat….like once a monthish, (or in my case, once a week, after an awesome eat-fest of Chick-Fil-A fries with special Chickie-Fil-A sauce…..good gracious, it's heaven, and totally worth the bloat;).) Back on track….
Bloating + body-con dress = I can't wear that right now. Bummer. However….
Bloating + body-con dress + deceiving the eye with a sweater vest and animal printed belt = Yes, Definitely yes.
Plus, I think adding a color and a printed belt to mix with the stripes just made it fun. And I like fun. Fashion should always be fun.
Did any of you take the bait on any of the column dresses? Bloat-hiding tricks you wish to share? C'mon Ladies….we're in this together. (Cue spitting on palms and shaking hands.)
xoxo Molly

My name is Hamlet-Adoption pending!
Facts about Hamlet-Adoption pending
- Breed: Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless/Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Hamlet-Adoption pending's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
HI! My name is Hamlet! What am I you ask? I am a 1 yr old Chinese Crested/Xoloitzcuintli mix. Can you hardly stand how handsome I am?! Let me tell you - I am 10 lbs of love! My family got divorced & I lost my home, so I have no one to love me. I so want a family to love & play with me. I have lots of energy & love to play. I also like to chase cats, but not in a nice way. My foster mommy told me that was BAD! It's not my fault though - the Xolo part of me causes me to do it. I would love to have a brother or sister to romp with because I love other dogs. I am fully house trained, but am working on other house manners. I want to please, so if you teach me I would be happy to do whatever you like. You like to snuggle? ME TOO! Let's do it! Hamlet is up to date on all shots, heart worm negative, microchiped, and neutered. Hamlet's adoption fee is $300.00.WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport, WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS. For events calendar and adoption application please go to our website at aaprescue.org.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hamlet-Adoption pending, a Bridgeton Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless/Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless/Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless for sale in Bridgeton, or seeking a Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless/Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless dog from a breeder in Bridgeton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bridgeton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bridgeton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless/Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless breeders who help with Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless/Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bridgeton paves the way for another one to be saved.

I hope the snake enjoyed them with some guacamole and salsa.
Love poker shirts, I think I'll have this one. I'm actually wearing my "All Hands On Deck" shirt today.
Ahahaha! I like it a lot. Congrats, Walmazan.
Thanks guys for all your support! you rock!
Bought! Wife had to have one. I always love your characters. Wonderful work!
"We call this color: Kelly Green started out with Sammy, but then Sammy went for Joey so she went after Dean, only Dean was scared of commitment so he left her for Marilyn, but then Marilyn went after Jack, so Dean had to take Joey and since Sammy wasn't interested any more, Kelly Green ended up doing some work in Italy and eventually married some producer in Monaco." Best description of a shirt color ever!
Congrats Walzman! It's always awesome to see your little critters, and it's even better to see them in print.
Nice Job on the shirt Walmazan. Is this your 2nd or 3rd daily, or have I just been totally out of the loop if it's more then that?
I was just thinking that this snake reminds of one that "Snake" game they put with some of the first cell phone games on nokia phones. Great game, (actually is was pretty fakon) but it makes me a bit nostalgic for these early cell phone days (actually the reception was poor and the phones really was crummy).

FCC Part 15 Radio Frequency Devices
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the authority
in the United States of America that creates and enforces the use of airwaves throughout the entire
radio frequency spectrum. This group of documents contains the entirety of the
FCC Part 15 regulations
that concern unlicensed radio frequency devices. As with all government documents, this material
is in the public domain and may be freely copied so long as the content is not changed. This copy
is provided as a convenience for RF Cafe visitors. Click here for the Table of Contents. |
[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 47, Volume 1] [Revised as of October 1, 2008] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 47CFR15.255]
[Page 827-829]
PART 15_RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents
Subpart C_Intentional Radiators
Sec. 15.255 Operation within the band 57-64 GHz.
(a) Operation under the provisions of this section is not permitted for the following products: (1) Equipment used on aircraft or satellites. (2) Field disturbance sensors, including vehicle radar systems, unless the field disturbance sensors are employed for fixed operation. For the purposes of this section, the reference to fixed operation includes field disturbance sensors installed in fixed equipment, even if the sensor itself moves within the equipment. (b) Within the 57-64 GHz band, emission levels shall not exceed the following:
[[Page 828]]
(1) For products other than fixed field disturbance sensors, the average power density of any emission, measured during the transmit interval, shall not exceed 9 [mu]W/cm\2\, as measured 3 meters from the radiating structure, and the peak power density of any emission shall not exceed 18 [mu]W/cm\2\, as measured 3 meters from the radiating structure. (2) For fixed field disturbance sensors that occupy 500 MHz or less of bandwidth and that are contained wholly within the frequency band 61.0-61.5 GHz, the average power density of any emission, measured during the transmit interval, shall not exceed 9 [mu]W/cm\2\, as measured 3 meters from the radiating structure, and the peak power density of any emission shall not exceed 18 [mu]W/cm\2\, as measured 3 meters from the radiating structure. In addition, the average power density of any emission outside of the 61-61.5 GHz band, measured during the transmit interval, but still within the 57-64 GHz band, shall not exceed 9 nW/cm\2\, as measured 3 meters from the radiating structure, and the peak power density of any emission shall not exceed 18 nW/cm\2\, as measured three meters from the radiating structure. (3) For fixed field disturbance sensors other than those operating under the provisions of paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the peak transmitter output power shall not exceed 0.1 mW and the peak power density shall not exceed 9 nW/cm\2\ at a distance of 3 meters. (4) Peak power density shall be measured with an RF detector that has a detection bandwidth that encompasses the 57-64 GHz band and has a video bandwidth of at least 10 MHz, or using an equivalent measurement method. (5) The average emission levels shall be calculated, based on the measured peak levels, over the actual time period during which transmission occurs. (c) Limits on spurious emissions: (1) The power density of any emissions outside the 57-64 GHz band shall consist solely of spurious emissions. (2) Radiated emissions below 40 GHz shall not exceed the general limits in Sec. 15.209. (3) Between 40 GHz and 200 GHz, the level of these emissions shall not exceed 90 pW/cm\2\ at a distance of 3 meters. (4) The levels of the spurious emissions shall not exceed the level of the fundamental emission. (d) Only spurious emissions and transmissions related to a publicly- accessible coordination channel, whose purpose is to coordinate operation between diverse transmitters with a view towards reducing the probability of interference throughout the 57-64 GHz band, are permitted in the 57-57.05 GHz band.
Note to paragraph (d): The 57-57.05 GHz is reserved exclusively for a publicly-accessible coordination channel. The development of standards for this channel shall be performed pursuant to authorizations issued under part 5 of this chapter.
(e) Except as specified elsewhere in this paragraph (e), the total peak transmitter output power shall not exceed 500 mW. (1) Transmitters with an emission bandwidth of less than 100 MHz must limit their peak transmitter output power to the product of 500 mW times their emission bandwidth divided by 100 MHz. For the purposes of this paragraph (e)(1), emission bandwidth is defined as the instantaneous frequency range occupied by a steady state radiated signal with modulation, outside which the radiated power spectral density never exceeds 6 dB below the maximum radiated power spectral density in the band, as measured with a 100 kHz resolution bandwidth spectrum analyzer. The center frequency must be stationary during the measurement interval, even if not stationary during normal operation (e.g. for frequency hopping devices). (2) Peak transmitter output power shall be measured with an RF detector that has a detection bandwidth that encompasses the 57-64 GHz band and that has a video bandwidth of at least 10 MHz, or using an equivalent measurement method. (3) For purposes of demonstrating compliance with this paragraph (e), corrections to the transmitter output power may be made due to the antenna and circuit loss. (f) Fundamental emissions must be contained within the frequency bands
[[Page 829]]
specified in this section during all conditions of operation. Equipment is presumed to operate over the temperature range -20 to +50 degrees celsius with an input voltage variation of 85% to 115% of rated input voltage, unless justification is presented to demonstrate otherwise. (g) Regardless of the power density levels permitted under this section, devices operating under the provisions of this section are subject to the radiofrequency radiation exposure requirements specified in Sec. Sec. 1.1307(b), 2.1091 and 2.1093 of this chapter, as appropriate. Applications for equipment authorization of devices operating under this section must contain a statement confirming compliance with these requirements for both fundamental emissions and unwanted emissions. Technical information showing the basis for this statement must be submitted to the Commission upon request. (h) Any transmitter that has received the necessary FCC equipment authorization under the rules of this chapter may be mounted in a group installation for simultaneous operation with one or more other transmitter(s) that have received the necessary FCC equipment authorization, without any additional equipment authorization. However, no transmitter operating under the provisions of this section may be equipped with external phase-locking inputs that permit beam-forming arrays to be realized. (i) For all transmissions that emanate from inside of a building, within any one second interval of signal transmission, each transmitter with a peak output power equal to or greater than 0.1 mW or a peak power density equal to or greater than 3 nW/cm\2\, as measured 3 meters from the radiating structure, must transmit a transmitter identification at least once. Each application for equipment authorization for equipment that will be used inside of a building must declare that the equipment contains the required transmitter identification feature and must specify a method whereby interested parties can obtain sufficient information, at no cost, to enable them to fully detect and decode this transmitter identification information. Upon the completion of decoding, the transmitter identification data block must provide the following fields: (1) FCC Identifier, which shall be programmed at the factory. (2) Manufacturer's serial number, which shall be programmed at the factory. (3) Provision for at least 24 bytes of data relevant to the specific device, which shall be field programmable. The grantee must implement a method that makes it possible for users to specify and update this data. The recommended content of this field is information to assist in contacting the operator.

Potted FlowersTalk about 'instant garden'! I love potted flowers. Here's where all the details really make your outdoor space special. Before you run to the nursery, though, give a little thought for your style, your colors, and your containers. The right color combinations are striking!Your StyleWhat is your garden's style? Casual country? Modern and daring? Cottage romantic? Take a look around and try to pinpoint it. It may change your flower choices. Country garden? Grasses might be a thought for your container. Daisies and geraniums would also be really sweet. Anything that might be found at grandma's farm would be in the running. Modern and daring? Look for something unusual! You might as well have fun with your potted flowers. Corkscrew grass is fun. Iris would be tall and striking in a container -- the foliage is what you would be after. Think Dalmatian Iris. Lovely variegated foliage. Cottage romantic? How fun! Soft and pretty, you might consider Calibrachoa (Million Bells) or Coleus. Make sure you get some sparkle in the colors and textures so it will have some excitement. If you're having problems pinpointing your garden style, try looking at your interior design choices.Your ColorsThere's such a wave of color at the nursery that it's easy to get back to your home and get frustrated. What happened? It looks wonderful on the shelf. I know. Before you leave your house, make a few notes on what your colors are that you're already using in the garden. What are your favorite color combinations? This is where your potted flowers go from good to great. One flower choice could make all the difference. Striking color combinations often use complimentary colors. It does keep the pallet simple, so if you've really had problems in the past, this might be a good idea -- simplicity. Think purple and yellow or blue and orange. They're opposite on the color wheel -- complimentary. Another simple color pallet is just one color. Make sure you vary the color intensity. Try pastel pink, magenta, and deep, dark burgundy. Simple and striking. If you're an avid gardener, there might be color combinations that you've come across that are really lovely. Make a note or your good intentions might go out the window as soon as you see the annuals. Your ContainersYour containers are a part of the potted flowers. Annuals often come in 4" pots and 2" 'packs'. How many will you need per pot? An 18" diameter pot might use (5) 4" plants and a couple of 2" plugs. I found this worked really well for me this year. Your container style is also a factor. Do you like calm and classic? Maybe just use one super annual tumbling out of your classical containers. Do you crave color and sparkle? Plan some exciting combinations. If your containers are larger around, make sure that your plants are not only filling the container, but that they are tall enough, too. This is where analyzing your potted flowers really helps. Your plants should be large enough of a scale to go with the containers. The other side of this is I've seen trellises stuck into containers -- and it doesn't always work. Much better to have a container at the base of a post. An annual vine could climb up that way and it will look much more appealing. So, pay attention to your style, carefully choose your containers, and have an idea about your colors before you go to the nursery. A little planning will go a long way. Most of all, have fun! |

Background: 20% of stage I Non Small Cell Lung Carcinomas (NSCLC) relapse within 2 years after surgery. Therefore, the identification of biologic prognostic factors of early stage NSCLC is relevant. The clinical significance of miRNAs signature in early stage NSCLC remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of microRNAs in patients with stage I ADK.
Design: Crieteria of eligibility were T1-T2N0 primary lung ADK treated with surgery between 2005 and 2007. Nine patients presented local or metastatic recurrence (= group 1). Each of these patients were matched with 2 patients without any recurrence (= group 2), according to the following criteria : tumor size, pleural involvment, adjuvant chemotherapy, % of tumor cell within the tumor sample, TTF-1 status. MicroRNA microarray expression profiling of tumors and paired nontumorous tissues was performed on these 27specimen.Total RNAs were extracted with TRIzol solution from frozen sample. MicroRNAs were purified on column with the Mirvana kit and chemically labelled with Alexa Fluors. Labelled-miRNA hybridized on microChip containing 2054 probes, including the whole human microRNome. The expression of each microRNA was quantified in tumor and corresponding healthy tissue. Disease-free survival (DSF) was defined with the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: Tumor samples had a specific microRNA signature compared with healthy tissue(such as down regulation of mir-126, mir-30, let 7, mir-145, up regulation of mir-21 and mir –35). A hierarchical clustering was performed in 35 selected microRNA.When comparing levels of expression of microRNA between group 1 and 2, 4 microRNAs were significantly associated with cancer recurrence : up regulation of mir-21, mir-297, and downregulation of mir-30a and mir-99a, consisting in a specific microRNA signature.Two-years DFS was 33% in patients with the specific Micro-RNA S signature (MRS) vs 89% for the others (p<0.0001). In this set of patients, sensitivity and specificity of the specific MRS for disease rcurrence was 78% and 89%, respectively.
Conclusions: This study is the first to demonstrate that a specific MRS of early stage lung ADK could predict the risk of cancer recurrence. These results are under validation in a multicentric independant cohort of stage I lung adenocarcinomas in order to transfert these findings in clinical practice.

exergonic … losing a phosphate group … releasing
exergonic … losing a phosphate group … requiring
During enzymatic reactions, substrates are converted to products. A property of enzymes that facilitates this reaction is that they are catalysts and therefore _____.
are proteins
provide activation energy for the reactions they facilitate
change the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
can make an endergonic reaction exergonic
elevate the activation energy barrier so the molecules will not spontaneously degrade
Lactase is essential for digesting lactose in milk. This enzyme is specific for this sugar. Why?
There is a precise compatibility between the active site and the lactose molecule.
Specificity refers to the action of the enzyme, such as hydrolysis, and relatively few molecules can be hydrolyzed.
Molecules and active sites vary in size; only properly sized molecules can fit.
Reaction-specific enzymes assume a fit by folding around the most numerous substrate molecules.
It is because of polarity compatibilities. Active sites contain electronegative atoms, whereas substrates tend to carry slight positive charges.

Families celebrate the outstanding OFSTED report given to The Oaks Childrens Centre, Grange Road, Felixstowe.
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
PUPILS are this week enjoying a well-earned rest after a busy half-term in the classroom.
Several schools and nurseries across Suffolk have been visited by Oftsed inspections this half term, and in the latter half of last year, and the results have been good.
Others that were previously judged to be outstanding or good have been subject to interim reports that have confirmed that they are still performing well.
Our gallery, above right, shows all those schools that have had something to celebrate this half-term.
However, overall Suffolk is still struggling against other local authorities, with high schools dropping 20 places down the league tables for GCSE results.
What do you think should be done to improve attainment across the board?
If your school has something to celebrate, send us photos via suffolk.iwitness24.co.uk

Acupuncture Overview
Acupuncture – a 5000 year old medicine
Acupuncture has been used for nearly 5000 years, and is one of the most popular and effective tools that Chinese medicine has to offer.
According to Chinese medicine, the energy of our body flows in channels called meridians. There are 12 main meridians each linked with an internal organ. Along these meridians there are many acupuncture points, each point responding differently when needled during a treatment session. Whereas using one needle to activate one point, sending out one message to the body; using a combination of points achieves a different result. This is why it is so important to have an accurate diagnosis, allowing the practitioner to determine which point or combination of points would be the best for the patient.
Acupuncture – in sickness and in health…
In ancient China, doctors were paid as long as they kept their patients healthy using acupuncture and herbs; this meant that if a person became ill, the doctor had failed in their job. Nowadays, people are used to going to the doctor only when a problem arises…
There are many symptoms, disorders and diseases in which acupuncture has shown great improvement. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized this treatment method to be effective through clinical trials for induction of labor, sciatica, biliary colic, depression, nausea and vomiting, renal colic, tennis elbow, neck pain, sprain, stroke, knee pain, lower back pain, morning sickness, headache and allergic rhinitis. WHO has also recognized that it has been shown that acupuncturehas a therapeutic effect in cases such as fertility, asthma, fibromyalgia, insomnia, herpes zoster, osteoarthritis, recurrent lower, urinary tract infection, premenstrual syndrome and obesity.
True or false – does Acupuncture hurt?
if you are fearful of acupuncture, try comparing the size of these gentle thin needles, versus the needles used for injections…
The most truthful answer would be to say: it depends! Acupuncture might be pain-free, or it may lead to a variety of different sensations of "qi", which is another word for the body's energy. So… on what does it depend? It depends on the practitioner, on the patient, on the different acupuncture points, the body's temperature, and even the day of the month… Practitioner - Some practitioners believe in "no pain – no gain", and therefore use needle manipulations that achieve stronger sensations of qi, while others believe that qi is more superficial and use a very gentle technique. At Lokahi, we generally err towards a more gentle technique, unless otherwise indicated. Patient - Some patients are much more sensitive than others, exactly like in tickling… Acupuncture points - some points are located in more sensitive areas, while others, like the ones in the stomach area, are hardly noticed when needled. Body temperature - When we are running a fever, our whole body is much more sensitive, heightening our sensitivity to needles. Day of the month – when a woman is menstruating, she is more sensitive to needling than on any other day…
Herbal Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system which originated 5000 years ago and has been used continuously to treat and prevent illness. Far from being an outdated system of medicine, TCM is continually evolving, adjusting its boundaries to encompass the body of biochemical knowledge which has advanced so rapidly in the last century.
Acupuncture made headline news all over the world in 1972 during Richard Nixon's state visit to China, when one of the pressmen covering the trip developed appendicitis. James Reston, a columnist for the New York Times wrote an account of his appendectomy, performed under acupuncture and local anesthetic, describing how he remained conscious throughout. After surgery, more acupuncture and moxibustion were administered to hasten recovery and Reston reported that 'the swelling went down within an hour and the pain never came back'.
Central to the understanding of TCM is the concept of Qi or life energy, the subtle energy that animates not only the human body, but also all manifestations in the universe. The channels, or meridians, that comprise the complex system through which qi flows are entirely separate from the circulatory or nervous system or from any other concept of modern physiology. Neither the channels nor Qi can be seen with the naked eye, although its existence has been established by modern researchers tracing the flow of energy with semiconductor diodes.
Disease can be caused by the inhibited flow of Qi in our bodies. TCM works to restore and balance the flow of blocked Qi . Health is more than the absence of disease. It is the free and harmonious flow of Qi which translates into a positive feeling of well-being and vitality from the body, mind and spirit.
TCM is safe and without side-effects. Its actions are regulatory, encouraging the body to make natural changes from within. TCM can treat acute and chronic conditions and can help in many situations where Western medicine may have limited solutions.
TCM not only treats illness, but can also prevent disease and help build the immune system. It can help increase energy, preserve youth and promote longevity.
In diagnosing a complaint we observe the patterns and symptoms of the patient to arrive at a diagnosis which identifies the root cause of the symptoms. We then use a combination of acupuncture, therapeutic massage, Chinese herbs, nutritional and dietary changes to treat the root cause and address the disharmony to alleviate the symptoms.
A patient with frequent headaches, a red tongue, fast pulse and dark urine, for example, would be diagnosed with excess heat in the body. The TCM Practitioner would then apply a treatment plan of acupuncture points and herbal formulas which clear heat from the body, and would recommend that the patient refrain from alcohol, deep fried foods, chocolate and sitting in the sun – all of which would intensify the patient's root condition and resultant symptoms.

I am growing spaghetti squash for the first time and I'm not sure when they are going to be ready to harvest. I currently have 8 spaghetti squash fruit set. The first one was pollinated at the beginning of July. It has been growing steadily since then. It is now really big. I've also noticed that the squash have been a white color and now this large one is turning a pale yellow. I went to the grocery store earlier today and when I walked past the spaghetti squash, the ones in the store look smaller than the one I have and they are that same shade of pale yellow.
Does the stem/vine turn brown and pull away from the squash or is there some other distinctive feature that I should be looking for to know whether or not it is done? I thought August 1 was kind of early to harvest spaghetti squash, but it looks done to me. But what do I know? Thanks for any advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
if your squash is a buttery yellow color it is ready to harvest. size depends on your personal taste. also the stem in most cases will turn brown and the skin will start to harden as well. |
- Posted by ekeeie(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSat, Sep 20, 08 at 11:32
At this time it is unlikey they will grow any bigger so the end of september is a good time. But the smaller ones you can leave and see if they grow any bigger until the leaves fade away round about mid october. |

Sarah Terry-Cobo
When University of Tulsa alumna Sarah Terry-Cobo was looking at colleges, she based her final decision on an interest in environmental science and the interdisciplinary program that TU offered. Her ultimate goal was to attend the University of California Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and work as an environmental and science reporter.
"I felt that if I was going to cover environmental science and policy, it was important to understand the basics of science and how policy was made," Terry-Cobo said.
After earning a bachelor's in environmental policy in 2006, she followed her ambitions to graduate school at UC Berkeley. While completing her coursework, Terry-Cobo took advantage of every job opportunity she could find, interning at GreenBiz.com, an online-only business publication covering the "greening" of mainstream business. She covered clean technology for Forbes.com and reported on immigration issues and the Latino community for The Oakland Tribune.
Today, Terry-Cobo works as an energy reporter for The Journal Record in Oklahoma City. She covers all sectors of the energy industry including oil and gas, wind and utilities along with health care, aerospace and defense. Terry-Cobo said her TU experience prepared her for graduate school as well as her career.
"I learned how to study, take notes, be prepared and conduct rational and thoughtful discussion among classmates," she said. "The foundation I learned in economics, chemistry, geology and biology guides me daily as I cover the oil and gas industry."
Terry-Cobo learned valuable lessons from her mentors and participated in several extra-curricular activities on campus such as The United Campus Ministries and TU's chapter of Amnesty International. Her involvement contributed to a rich and fulfilled TU experience.
"I have a strong appreciation of the relationships I built then, and I continue to cherish and nurture many of those friendships to this day," she said.
