"What is your purpose in life?" our Sunday School teacher asked the class. My mind flitted about, hunting for the precise answer. I recently posted about the ultimate purpose for everything in the universe, but this question was specific to me personally. What is my purpose? I thought of the seven children I am raising, of my counseling degree, of the book and this blog that I am writing.
Then a friend spoke up from across the room, "I think my purpose is to love and be loved." That was IT! The Lord spelled it out more specifically for me later when I was journaling, but, boiled down to its Reader's Digest Condensed form, this is exactly what my purpose in life is! It combines John Piper's quoted purpose from my previous blog entry: "So that the glory of Christ could be put on display where He bought the rebellious bride at the cost of His life", with my part in the plan.
I am to love and be loved. The second part is the foundation. I am loved. He planned it all out so that He could demonstrate that intense love by dying for me. And every day, as I spend time in His presence and talk over life issues with Him, He reassures me again of His love and care and concern for me. He patiently and tenderly draws me back when I get distracted. He speaks words of encouragement, and even correction, with a kindness that makes me want to obey. He blesses me with physical blessings; I live like royalty compared to the rest of the world!
Because I am loved, I can rest securely. I've screwed up enough times for Him to see how bad I am on my own, but He remains faithful. He doesn't give up on me. He woos me back and reassures me that nothing has changed. He still loves me as intensely as before.
And now I can love. I can pass that love – which is really just His love – from deep inside my spirit where He dwells, through my personality and talents, and out to others. I can love my children, no matter how busy or exhausted I am or how they might behave. I can counsel others and channel His love and wisdom out to hurting individuals. I can write and tell anyone who will listen about the awesomeness of my Beloved! When I wake up, I can begin to watch for who He will bring along for me to love that day. I am to love and be loved.
To love and be loved. How does He express it through you? You may not have family, counseling, and writing as expressions of love. What are yours? What gifts has He given through which you can express love?
Who do You want to love through me today, Lord? Here am I, send me.
TO LOVE and BE LOVED – What expression of Christ's Love does he express through me ? How IS he using me, IS he using me ? How do I show others Christs love ?
As I dug and weeded in my garden I pondered this and your words. Pulling the weeds in my garden was like pulling the weeds of doubt in my mind. Doubt that I was using or sharing God's love.
The garden produces vegetables and I share them with others. I have a car and use it to drive others where they need to go ! These are two simple easy ways I Love. There are others, sometimes not so simple or easy, an ear to listen, a heart to feel, compassion, a mind to choose right from wrong, laughter, a desire to be his and share him. I do not do these things on my own, I do them because HE made me this way and has given me opportunities to share what he has given me. TO LOVE !
When I was in the business world very often it was mentioned I needed to be more forceful, more aggressive, harder hearted. I apologized often that I could not do or be what they wanted, yet they pushed me to be those things if I wanted to be successful. I wasn't very successful in their eyes ! I believe God had a better idea. Maybe HE used me to change their attitudes to show them that HE was in charge. I will probably never know how much or if I left behind LOVE, but I know God LOVED me and took me out of that world (I was hurt and sad – now I see HE new better) HE LOVED ME !
The fact that HE has given me a garden ( and the time to work it), a car ( that sometimes seems to run on empty), an ear to listen ( when I shut my mouth), a heart to feel (every emotion), compassion (that makes me cry at the most embarrassing times), a mind to choose right from wrong ( I work on that every waking hour – and sometimes in my sleep), laughter ( an expression of joy), a desire to be HIS and share HIM ( 24/7). Most important is my salvation through Christ ! I AM LOVED

5 Ways to Fuel up for Exercise
By Team Best Life – TheBestLife.com
It may seem counterintuitive to take in calories before you head to the gym to burn them off, but eating a healthy bite beforehand can help you make the most of your workout. No matter what kind of activity you're planning, you can use these tips to fuel up for fitness:
Eat when it feels best. Eating one hour before your workout is a good general rule, but everyone's body is different. For instance, some people may feel uncomfortable or bloated trying to exercise after a snack or meal while others may be distracted by a rumbling tummy. Only you know exactly how much you can comfortably eat and how soon before your workout.
Keep track of carbs. Because glucose—a carbohydrate—is your muscles' preferred source of fuel, you need to go into a workout with enough stored glucose (aka glycogen). If you eat a balanced diet, you should be all set. But if you're hitting the gym hours after your last meal or snack, you might need a little carb boost; 15 grams should do the trick.

Putting - The Right Pressure is a Light Pressure
By Sue Powers – 2013 LPGA National Teacher of the Year
Do you sometimes feel you have a "death grip" on your putter during your stroke? Do you sometimes decelerate during your stroke or feel you hit or 'pop' the putt instead of making a smooth pendulum stroke? One culprit may be your grip pressure as your hands are your only connection to your putter and too much pressure in the hands will affect your putter's motion during your stroke.
What ingredients will help you get the ball in the hole in fewer strokes? The first and most important key to successful putting is the belief that you…"Are a GREAT putter." Believe that you CAN make putts and you WILL make putts.
Another important part of your formula for successful putting is to keep your hand pressure light on the club so you can feel the weight of your putter head instead of the handle of your club. Your hand pressure should remain the same throughout your stroke.
Here's how it works:
- Set up in your normal putting position (photo #1)
- Raise your putter about one inch above the ground (photo #2)
- Start swinging your putter back and forth in a continuous motion with your shoulders and with no wrist hinge (photo #3)
- As you are swinging your putter back and forth, notice if you feel the handle of your putter or the weight of your putter head. If you feel the handle, you have too much grip pressure in your hands. Continue to lighten your grip pressure until you feel the weight of the putter head and not the handle of the putter. (photo #4)
- Continue swinging your putter back and forth while feeling the weight of your putter head. Now close your eyes and continue to feel the weight of your putter head.
- With your eyes closed, tighten your grip pressure and notice what happens to your swinging motion and your club. Did you feel your stroke slow down or stop? Did your smooth, pendulum motion change? Did you feel the handle more than the weight of your putter head? Did you feel your fingers squeezing your putter handle?
- Continue to swing your putter back and forth as you gradually loosen your grip pressure so you again feel the weight of the putter head. Notice the changes in your swinging motion, tempo and body as tighten and loosen your grip pressure during this practice drill.
How do you take this drill to the course with you so you can feel the proper grip pressure for your most successful stroke? As part of your pre-shot routine for putting, make one or two practice swings with your only goal being to feel the weight of your putter head and not your putter handle during your practice strokes. Maintain this same pressure during your "real" putting stroke. Maintaining the same pressure will allow you feel the weight of your putter head throughout your entire putting stroke.
Putting is the most individualized area in golf …be yourself, believe, feel the weight of your putter head and you WILL get the ball in the hole in fewer strokes!

Created in the 1980s, Whois began as a service used by Internet operators to identify individuals or entities responsible for the operation of a network resource on the Internet. The Whois service has since evolved into a tool used for many purposes. However, as usage of Whois service evolved, few changes have been made to the protocol that supports the service. As a result, there is growing concern that the protocol would not meet the need of the community.
Beginning in 2002, ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published various advisories describing deficiencies related to the WHOIS protocol, service and data schema, most recently SAC 051: SSAC Report on Domain Name WHOIS Terminology and Structure [PDF, 243 KB]. SAC 051 summarizes the previous advisories, and among other things, recommends that the ICANN community evaluate and adopt a replacement protocol.
Recognizing its concerns with the WHOIS protocol deficiencies, on 28 October 2011, the ICANN Board approved a resolution directing staff to produce, in consultation with the community, a roadmap for the coordination of the technical and policy discussions necessary to implement the recommendations outlined in SAC 051.
On 18 February 2012, ICANN published a draft Roadmap to implement SAC 051 for public comment. Most commentators agreed with the approach proposed in the draft roadmap to replace the WHOIS protocol (SSAC recommendations 2 & 3). Given the general consensus on the proposed roadmap, it was deemed not necessary to open a second round of public comment. Instead, this updated Roadmap to implement SAC 051 is being published.
This ICANN announcement was sourced from:

Windermere Steamboat Museum in the UK's Lake District has been awarded a grant of £9.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the development of the new museum, with construction now set to start next year.
Carmody Groarke was chosen to design the project by Lakeland Arts following a win in the RIBA design competition held in 2011.
The funding, combined with the match funding rasied to date, will enable Lakeland Arts to continue developing the plans for the new museum as a world-class attraction on Windermere including new exhibitions and displays telling the stories of boats and people on the lake. The project includes a new wet dock so visitors can see boats displayed in the water and a publicy viewable conservation workshop.
"Immediate steps are to complete design development of Carmody Groarke's RIBA competition-winning scheme so that construction can start next year," said Gordon Watson, Chief Executive of Lakeland Arts.
"We are looking forward to re-opening the Museum and welcoming visitors to enjoy the wonderful collection of Windermere boats and take part in exciting new activities and events inspired by the collections and beautiful site," he added.

A neighbor is a bigger rock hound than me!!! He stopped by the other day to see the deck. I showed him the bathroom and he came back the next day with a 5 gallon bucket full of rocks that he had cut. They all have a flat back , they are every color you can imagine (reds, greens, blues, golds, whites) (much more colorful and shiney when wet)and they are beautiful!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to start something and use them. And I am heading down to his place today for a cutting lesson and to pick up more!!!! They are too cool..He checked out my saw while he was here and said mine will cut them too!!! Wow am I excited!!!!! I'll be cutting this next week for sure.

Will the real Phill Bender please stand up? Phil Bender on Facebook: real or performance art?
I started asking people what they thought.
"I think it's probably Phil - with help from someone else .... maybe Jason Gimble? Since his photos were the first loaded up with Phil tagged? That's my theory -- that it's Phil with a friend to help set it up .... What do you think?"
Jason Gimbel: "I asked Phil last night if he was on FB, he said 'no'... I would only be enabling him, if in fact, he were play us all on FB and he was pretending to not be online, when in fact he is... I don't think it's him. Clearly someone is playing a game. At this point no one knows who it is, but it's clearly someone who knows Phil... I have one suspicion but I won't go there cause I could be wrong"
"Phill is now friends with Zippy Pinhead and 10 other people."
In the midst of all this, the spelling of his name was mysteriously corrected.
"The imposter was quick to change that spelling Error...."
"OK, so, as hysterical as this has all been, it occurs to me that Phil might not want an imposter, and realistically speaking it IS identity theft. We don't know who's behind it yet, do we? Should we write to facebook or chalk it up to good clean fun? How did Phil feel about it?"
Phil: "I just don't think I was made for this interweb thing. I think I will go back to my old system of calling people to make my emails and to look things up for me. I think I will delete my profile in 8 hours."
More comments. More and more comments.
"okay, i can't hold myself back. i think it's someone filling in for phil. but i predict the next phil grids are going to be facebook screenshots."
"Given Phil's dislike of all things computer, I'm guessing it's his evil twin ;)"
"It definitely not Phil...but it's someone who knows him well, that's for sure."
"I don't know him well, but facebook is the last place I'd expect to see PB. I bet it's a simulacrum of him made of nine identical shovels."
"LOL... you mean there are false persona on Fakebook, say it aint so..."
"Doppelganger activity."
"Phill Bender - 'I'm Still Here'"
"We are talking about Phil Bender, right? .......I rest my case."
"It's not Phill. I talked to him last night and he thinks he's being punked by someone at Pirate. He had it narrowed down to two people, but wouldn't tell me who he thinks it is. He also wants it known that he doesn't 'work' at a thrift store, he procures his art materials at thrift stores!"
The denouement:
Jason Gimbel posted: "The real Phil Bender is not on Facebook (with one 'L')"
"Who the heck IS on Facebook?"
"I KNEW it!"
"Is he enjoying the specter Phill? Does he have any comments? I think it's a pretty reverential impersonation thus far..."
"♫♪♫ Will the real Phil Bender please stand up, please stand up ♫♪♫"
"I just spoke to him and he rather likes that there are over 300 friends but he would rather that it be identified as a proxy."
"Just spoke to Phil, he wants it to live, but he loves that he's getting all these phone calls from friends, so don't listen to me!"
And yes, Phil Bender is still on Facebook, still making friends and still a love object for half of Denver. Real or unreal, I suspect Phil is here to stay. Is that how things should be? Leave your opinion below in the comments.

For this Sprint Cup chase, foreign intrigue
By Tina Akouris firstname.lastname@example.com September 14, 2012 10:52PM

Is NASCAR nation ready for a Sprint Cup champion affiliated with a foreign automaker?
"I think they need to be," Martin Truex Jr. said, "because there is a pretty good chance of it happening this year."
Truex is one of three Toyota drivers in the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which opens Sunday with the GEICO 400 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet. Truex's teammate at Michael Waltrip Racing, Clint Bowyer, and Cup points leader Denny Hamlin also drive Toyotas.
The trio give the Japanese automaker its strongest chance of having a championship driver for the first time since Toyota joined the Cup series in 2007 in a partnership with MWR.
The previous time Toyota had three cars in the Chase was 2008, when all three drivers were Joe Gibbs Racing teammates: Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch. JGR dropped Chevrolet in favor of Toyota in 2008.
"It means a lot, and Toyota has been so instrumental in the building of our team," Truex said. "For us, we're really proud to put two cars in there for them."
The significance of this Chase isn't just about the three Toyota cars, but more so the impact on MWR. For an organization that almost went bankrupt in 2007 despite having big-name sponsors, Truex and Bowyer represent how a midlevel to small team can compete with the powerhouse teams Hendrick Motorsports and JGR.
To wit, Hendrick has all four of its drivers in the Chase: five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, four-time champ Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne. Kahne and Gordon grabbed the two wild-card spots to fill up the 12-driver field.
And Roush-Fenway Racing rounds out the big teams with two drivers in the Chase in Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle.
Biffle, the regular-season points leader before the points standings were reset after last week's Richmond race, is a 10-1 favorite to win the championship based on Las Vegas odds. But he's not all that impressed with the decent odds.
"Sounds like an easy way to make some money," Biffle said after Friday's first practice session. "I never really look at that stuff much. It doesn't seem like that great of odds."
And Johnson apparently is a 9-5 favorite to get his sixth Cup title. Like Biffle, he's not all that wrapped up in odds.
"I still don't know what that means," Johnson said. "I see it's at the top of the list, and I was asking Hamlin and Biffle because they both understand all that stuff and neither one of them could give me a clear answer as to what it really meant."
But defending champion Tony Stewart cannot be discounted.
Third in the points standings, Stewart started his 2011 championship run at Chicagoland with his first victory of the season. He rattled off four more wins en route to his third championship.
Stewart has had a lot of success in Joliet, with three wins, eight top-five finishes and nine in the top 10.

It's time to talk about the first two hours of BioShock Infinite.Last week, Xav de Matos and Mike Schramm spent a day exploring the world of Columbia, the cloud city-setting of the upcoming game from developer Irrational Games. Rather than inject the discussion into a standard episode - primarily because we understand some gamers would rather skip any and all details related to the game until it launches on March 26, 2013 - we've decided to break the conversation Xav and Mike had into its own special episode.
While the pair are only speaking of their experience with the game, this episode does include spoilers for the opening hours of BioShock Infinite. Listen as Xav and Mike discuss exploring the world of Columbia as well as thoughts about the game's themes, which include racism, American exceptionalism, and religion.

While in College I lived in a townhouse apartment and had some fun times and as the fall semester started I noticed a new woman that had moved in a couple of doors down. I saw her at the pool and noticed that she had a hot looking body. Later that evening I went over to her place to introduce myself and invite her to dinner. When she answered the door she was wearing a halter and a miniskirt and looked real hot. I also noticed that she was from the middle east but it didnt bother me. I told her to be there at 700 and I went home and started to grill some steaks. She arrived on time and we ate our meal and got to know each other better. Nothing big happened that night but I learned that she was not like any middle easterner that I had met before and she was very open minded about a lot of things. I asked her if she wanted to go out the next night since it was a Friday. She said sure and we went to a movie and to eat and came back to my place afterwards. We sat and visited again and she asked me if I was afraid to kiss her since she was from another country. I said no and I wasnt afraid to do more than that. She then leaned over and kissed me giving me a lot of tounge. She said she knew the bedroom was upstairs and we should go up there. When we got there she said she wanted me to know that she was safe so I didnt have to worry about her getting pregnant. She had said the night before that ladies from her country were submissive so I told her to strip her clothes off then remove mine. She did as told and then I told her get on her knees and start sucking and she did that as well. After I was hard and wet I lifted her up and laid her on the bed and mounted her. I slowly entered her little pussy and she screamed and said dont stop. I slowly moved up and down and soon she was screamed in her native tounge and came. I picked up uhe pace and soon was ready to blow my load so I pulled out and shot on her dark skin. We dropped off to sleep but she woke me in a couple of hours playing with herself. I reached down and helped me and she asked me to eat her as the men in her country were against that. I went down on her until she went over the top. I told her that men in our country also liked to fuck women in the ass and she said fine and started sucking me to get me wet and she got up on her hands and knees and I slowly eased into her ass. It was so warm and tight I didnt last long and soon I filled her ass up. She stayed the rest of the night and then went home the next morning. We had a fun semester of fucking and sucking and when it ended she came to me and said that she was going to move back home to her Husband. I have aways loved married women.

'The Dark Knight Rises' Review
A fitting and epic finale that doesn't top its predecessor but doesn't need to.
It's not the easiest of feats to follow up 'Batman Begins' and especially 'The Dark Knight', which literally redefined the superhero genre by showing how a comic book film can be much more than that – even if you're the director himself Christopher Nolan. But with 'The Dark Knight Rises', Nolan has provided us with a fitting finale to the franchise that is heavy on ideas, epic and grand in every possible way. Sure, it isn't as good as its predecessor thanks to an overplotted script. But even then, it's better than most superhero movies have dared to be.
The plot is set eight years after the events of 'The Dark Knight', where Batman has gone into hiding after being branded as a fugitive when he takes blame for the death of Harvey Dent. As crime on the streets of Gotham has drastically reduced, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is in recluse knowing that his city doesn't need him anymore. But all that changes with the arrival of the intimidating masked terrorist Bane (Tom Hardy) with a terrifying plan to crumble Gotham City to the ground. With the help of a mysterious cat burglar Selena Kyle (Anne Hathaway) who may have an agenda of her own, a rookie cop John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Commisioner Gordon (Gary Oldman), Bruce Wayne has to take up the Batman mantle one last time to save his city from a threat that may be far more powerful than himself.
'The Dark Knight', back in 2008, set the standard for superhero films with a gritty and mature treatment of the characters and a script that wasn't aimed for just children and drew upon real life themes. It also gave us an unforgettable villain in the form of Joker with the late Heath Ledger whose performance still is remembered as one of the greatest support acts on film. With all those expectations and the news that this would be the finale to the story that Christopher Nolan had set out to tell, it was definitely important for 'The Dark Knight Rises' to stay true to the quality the series has been known for by now. And thankfully, it very much does.
Gotham City in 'The Dark Knight Rises' is even more sweeping in scale this time around and doesn't just focus on a particular set where the events are happening but is about the whole city under seige. Nolan has always been known to provide epic action sequences and this time around he hasn't disappointed, shooting more than 70 minutes of the film in true IMAX format which is nothing like I've seen before. In the sheer breadth of this, Nolan has managed to top 'The Dark Knight Rises' and there has never been a superhero movie that has been ambitious enough to tackle a such a scope. The master plan here puts the entire city of Gotham under threat and is chillingly timely to boot. The big baddie this time around is of course the hulking physical villain Bane which is known to be the most intimidating villain that Batman has ever faced. And rightfully so, Bane pushes Batman to his physical and mental limits and there's an entire journey that Batman goes through to prepare himself to even take on a massive force like Bane.
While Joker felt like more of an unhinged villain that was capable of doing anything at any moment, Bane is more calculated and has a chilling master plan to bring the whole of Gotham City to its knees. He has a view of the world that not everyone shares, but his actions are meticulously planned and become more threatening as they go on. Yet he's not as memorable of a villain as the Joker, mainly because his character begins to get muddled towards the second half of the film and doesn't get the best of resolutions as the story somewhat moves away the focus of him to a larger theme. What does work very well this time around is Catwoman, a character that I felt would be needless in the series back when it was announced but Nolan actually crafts a strong and mysterious female anti-hero that challenges Batman but is also someone that he needs in order to succeed. That's not all in terms of new characters, as rookie cop John Blake is also in the mix this time around as an orphan who is determined to rise higher than other Gotham City cops and save his city alongside Batman. Though one would be unsure of the character at first, he is pivotal in the movie and gets a great resolution by the end of it.
But it's this penchant to add a lot of new elements to the film is the reason why it's a weaker film compared to 'The Dark Knight'. The screenplay is dense and overtly heavy on plot, with a lot of different plot points that return not only from 'The Dark Knight' but from way back in 'Batman Begins' and lead to some uneven pacing many times throughout the film. It's like Nolan knew that this would be his last Batman movie and decided to cram in everything that he ever would have thought of doing in a Batman film, leading to a somewhat clunky screenplay that has way too much going on which leads to a film that clocks nearly three hours long. One of those needless characters is the addition of Miranda Tate played by Marion Cotillard, who adds nothing to the film and eventually actually detracts the focus away from Bane. The film could've easily been at least twenty minutes shorter had Nolan tried to trim out the fat and tighten up the pacing, but I guess Nolan got lost a little too much into dozens of themes he was trying to wrap up.
But it's the awe-inspiring memorable moments that make 'The Dark Knight Rises' what it is. The Wall Street scene is chilling to watch and so is the football stadium sequence. The much-talked about opening sequence with the plane is a spectacle in IMAX as well. But the movie truly saves the best for last, and the final ten minutes of the film stand as the best moments of the series as they perfectly end the story with revelations that will stun you and actually get an emotional rise out of you. Except for a needless twist with a needless character mentioned above, every single plot point from there on is affecting and the very last shots of the film pack a great punch. Obviously, I'm not going to spoil anything but there are things that fans were hoping for and Nolan cleverly delivers upon them in a way that you have to applaud by the time the credits roll.
Christian Bale has definitely been the best Batman to have graced the screen, and gets the most hefty material to work with here. Not only is he commanding and physical as Batman (except that ridiculous Batman voice which makes a return), he goes to a physical and emotional transformation as Bruce Wayne during the second act of the film. It's these kind of scenes that Bale excels in and he gets his chance here. Tom Hardy definitely is commanding as Bane and gives an intimidating and calculated aspect to the monster that few other actors could. Anne Hathaway is the biggest surprise of the movie with her interpretation of Catwoman being very impressive and actually justifying its existence. She understands the character and brings depth to her. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was excellent as a determined cop and as always gives a lot of attention to his character who becomes more important as the film goes on. Michael Caine gives the most emotionally affecting performance and has quite a few brilliant dialogue scenes here, while Morgan Freeman is solid as Lucius Fox once again. It's unfortunate that Marion Cotillard's character Miranda Tate is so unnecessary and jarring in the film that even her performance ends up getting affected. Gary Oldman and the rest of the cast do justice to their roles to great extent.
'The Dark Knight Rises' is a fitting finale to what will forever be known as one of the most iconic trilogies the big-budget Hollywood machine has provided us. It dares to be bigger and darker than what came before it, and while it doesn't quite reach the heights that it set for itself with the previous film, it doesn't need to in order to be called a great film. It's the superhero film of the summer that audiences deserve.

2014 NAB Show Insights: Roswell Clark
We're interviewing some engineering professionals from Las Vegas. Here's what they're telling us.
Radio: What is your title, company name and scope of responsibilities?
Clark: Director of Technical Operations for Cox Media Group, Tampa/Orlando Radio. Tampa and Orlando each have six radio stations with consolidated studio facilities in each market. I am responsible for all technical operations in each market, including IT and digital. In addition to the local responsibilities, I represent CMG on industry activities for BTC, NRSC, NABRTC.
Radio: What do you hope to accomplish at NAB Show this year?
Clark: Meet with manufacturers to see their latest product developments and share our needs with them to hopefully help them develop solutions for us.
Radio:Any specific projects in the works?
Clark: We have several large projects going on in each market, including a new studio SIP/VOIP implementation to replace aging analog POTS systems of varying age. A new performance studio just broke ground, which will incorporate modern audio, video, and lighting equipment to support digital production and multimedia content. We are also replacing our studio playout system with the latest WideOrbit product across all CMG markets, along with Cisco VOIP phones for the business offices. Finally, we have a couple of new solid state transmitter installations pending to round out the year.
Radio:What trends do you see as most notable, in the conversations and conferences you see?
Clark: The trend for AOIP compatibility is important and since the AES67 standard has been released it will be interesting to see how the various vendors make that available. Monitoring and control continue to be more important, and methods to precisely time align HD are key. Also, the latest in solid state transmitter technology is showing some impressive gains in efficiency, size, and the ability to transmit more HD power from a single box.
Radio:Any booths or companies you particularly try to visit every year?
Clark: I always stop by Telos/Axia, GatesAir, Worldcast, Nautel, ERI, Dielectric, Burk, BGS ... the list is rather long.
Radio:What's your favorite part of the NAB Show?
Clark: I enjoy the luncheons and the BEC training sessions and try to fit as many in as possible. I also make sure to visit the NAB Futures area.
Radio:Least favorite?
Clark: I don't look forward to the amount of walking I tend to do between the massive halls in an attempt to capture as much of the experience as possible.

From time to time I see a pattern that I think I could simplify and I'm wondering if you generally sew patterns exactly as they are published, or do you adjust them if you have an easier way of putting the block together?
For example, I was looking at the Double Irish Chain directions on Quilter's Cache and I noticed that the instructions on the top of page 2 say to sew color 3 strips to color 3 to make a larger piece of color 3. Why wouldn't you just cut a larger piece of color 3 in the first place? The only reason that I can think of is that by doing it the way it is described you can then nest your seams when putting it all together - but all things equal, wouldn't you rather have fewer seams? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Double Irish Chain directions
Follow-Up Postings:
I have done that before. It make sense to me to have fewer seams and fewer chances of not matching perfectly. Also less see-through of seams. |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 11 at 12:53
Good question. I often make a pattern easier than shown. I also will combine pieces into one bigger piece when they seem to be cut only to add those extra seams. Since no one will see the pattern I made it from, who would know anyway. |
I think sometimes they make the directions so you piece fewer types of pieces. Like making a bunch of HSTs instead of some HSTs and flying geese. But personally I prefer the look with fewer seams, so I usually change my patterns when I can. The exception is blocks for exchanges. I follow the directions so they will all be the same. beverly |
I agree that it makes sence to cut a larger pc. for 3 but I think that it is done that way to give the border impression to the block. Jayne |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 11 at 14:47
Yes, if I see an easier way of making a pattern, I'll make it that way. I used to swap on another forum, but they've gotten so wordy for the directions, I doubt I could follow along. I can easily make the blocks to look like what they show, but won't make them using their directions. I only do the BD swap here, anyway. I don't understand extra seams if they aren't needed. The older I get, the less I care about certain things. SharonG/FL-IN |
Thanks for your answers. When I asked the question I wasn't thinking about swaps, but I can see that would be a good reason not to change the pattern! |

First let me Thank everyone that was so generous to share you garden extras with me.
I didn't start taking pictures until after a few people had left. On top of that my grandkids had been looking at pictures on my camera & these are all I was able to take before the batteries went dead. LOLOL I got into the car & discovered that I had FRESH BATTERIES in my purse. I promise to do better this fall. hahaha I have to say that we had a great time - froze a little - well at least until we had to lug all our loot to the car - then I sure warmed up fast. Between myself, Donna, Melody & Brianna we had sooooo many goodies that by time we got my Durango loaded the 2 girls had to share a seat, Donna had stuff up to her chest, LOL we were so loaded up we thought we would bust out at the seams. Melody said Grandma how come we can't move & you aren't being squished? hehehehe Well I said I'm the driver & have to have room to drive. Donnas hubby came out of the house to help us unload, lol we unloaded between our houses & had to take a break. This first picture is of Melody, Brianna & Jay in the Bluebonnets. Y'all got to meet the girls. This is a picture of the Rose Class Thanks soooo much Vanessa. Donna & I plan to utilize our new skills. Here's our cooks with the hotdogs
The rest of the pictures are just shots around our site then the durn batteries went dead so I didn't get pictures of all the trade stations or of everyone that attended. SEE YA'LL IN THE FALL

Great pictures! Every one of 'em makes me smile! |
Thanks for taking pictures Debbie, I brought my camera but was too busy running my mouth and visiting to think of it in the truck! Thanks again, it was fun seeing them :) Kristi |
Great pictures! I took a couple during the *terrific* propagation workshop, but was too busy jabbering away the rest of the time to remember the camera! I wish I'd taken more. I'll see if I can get those posted tomorrow. Did everybody get their plants in the ground today? I'm one big ball o' hurt. Houston and I got all the stuff in the ground that HAD to be in the ground immediately, and the tough stuff and potted stuff will have to wait till tomorrow. We worked all day, and just finished, and it's almost 10 p.m. I forgot the sunscreen, so it's gonna be hard to sleep tonight! Please pass the Advil. ;-) |
Who was it that I noticed taking close ups of the rose propagation class? Please post them. It seems like there were 3 of us with cameras Thanks Debbie |

I got some stuff planted, nearly all the morning glories & the Belinda's Dream rose, but I had to move junk around & use that shovel & that garden fork & my poor ole back, so I'm rolled up in the same "ball o' hurt" as Bo! But I'm so happy to have these things, & I know the rest of them will make me just as happy...as soon as my muscles unkink enough so I can plant things! can't wait to see how the morning glories & honeysuckles cover the fences, & I'm really wanting to get the pine trees out there to disguise the bare corner, & then I... uh-oh. There I go again, driving down the highway of life & swerving off onto the garden path! |
These are great shots, and it looks as if all went well despite the cold --- way to go REAL GARDENERS !!!!!! |
Hi all. Great pics! Sure wish, I could have stayed longer! Sorry, also If anyone thought I was being rude or standoffish. As I was, litterally running to deliver everyone's plants. But Grandson's allergies & asthma are really bad. So, I don't dare take any chances with his health! He's been in the hospital more in his 4 years of life, than I care to count. I got some great plants & met some new gardeners , as well as the usual gang. What a great turn out! Hope you all, are happy as I am! tina_2 |
There's Carrie! Y'all, after the swap, Melvalena was kind enough to lead me through the S-C-A-R-Y Texas Motor Speedway race traffic (I think some of those drivers thought they were IN the race) and took me all the way to Carrie's house. It sounds like many of you have already met Carrie, but if you haven't, let me tell you, she's one of the sweetest, most generous souls I've ever met! Such a beautiful, elegant person. And her gardens....wowwwwww.... My 16-year old, 6'2" football playing, size 15-shoe wearing, burly tough-guy son was worn plum out by the time we headed for home. He slept on the way home, with a smile on his face! Then yesterday, he claimed the roses, ferns, cannas, umbrella plant and crinums, and said those are HIS beds, and he worked them all by himself while I planted the rest. With Carrie's and your help, a gardener has been born! :-) |
Tina, not at all! Thank you so much for my pretty plants! I kept one of the luffas, too--I'm sure I'll be asking for advice on that one, once I can harvest some of the fruit or gourds, or whatever it puts out. Care to post your recipe for making soap? :-) |
Umm Miss Bo, We didn't get anywhere NEAR the race track. What scared you was normal Saturday afternoon Ft Worth traffic and merging freeway lanes/changing freeways. LOL!!! We traveled on 4 different ones to get to Carrie's house. Ft Worth is more laid back and a lot easier than the Dallas traffic that's for sure! You are absolutely correct though about Miss Carrie and her gardens!! It was a real treat to pull up to Carrie's and find JD and his fancy smanchy pot there too! :) |
Melvalena, are you kidding me?! Well, that shows what I know--I couldn't navigate my way out of a wet paper bag! I don't know how you good folks do it--I made Houston turn off his music and put something more calming in (he makes fun of my music, calling Yanni,one of my favorites, "Yawn-i"), and he tried to keep me laughing through it, but my knuckles were white on the steering wheel, hands locked in the "10 & 2" position, and I was petrified. You were a great leader, though, giving me plenty of notice with the turn signal, calling me often, etc. I really, truly couldn't have done that without you! |
Here's Weldon's beautiful bouquet for transplant cuttings, and Venessa showing us the coir to use as a transplant medium: Here's Danna getting a close-up of the scraped, injured cutting just before the rooting hormone is to be applied: |
That swap was wonderful!! We spent yesterday putting most things in the ground, some have to wait til the garage is painted next week. We just got back from bringing friend Cyncie to DFW - she very much enjoyed meeting y'all too! Hope all your beautyberries survive and prosper. We thank you ever so much for the goodies in return! Dorothy |
Hey Danna, Could you pretty please post the close ups for us. TY Debbie |
Dorothy, Your friend was so sweet. I hope she didn't freeze to bad being out there. I enjoyed chatting with her & LOL couldn't off load anything to her haha even when I commented on how small some of the cups were that she could carry right in her bag. I hope you had a great visit with her. Thanks again for the Beauty berry bush & for the wonderful apron. It will come in handy in the garden Debbie |

Bo, Part of the traffic was from the races but that was nothing compared to Sundays traffic. I live right off hwy 114 and can see the traffic from my house and it was at a creeping crawl Sunday morning. On this day we stay home knowing how bad it is. The local police are out trying their best to catch the speeders but theres not enough of them to go around. I was very upset yesterday morning, seems that some of the people going to the race could not wait to get somewhere to go to the rest room, they came up over the hill right into our neighbors yard and peed on her house, not down in the bushes that is behind the fences but on her HOUSE. My DH was outside and seen the two guy's and yelled out at them HEY HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING. I called the police but I don't think they could find them to do anything about it. So now I'm even more upset about putting up with race fans. It is enough to make me want to move from this area. |
Just got in.....pass me the advil too please! I was taking the closeup pictures with Lane's palm and it didn't do the closeups....sorry.....not sure if it was the camera or my hands shaking! Took me forever to get everything planted.....kept having to go inside and look up stuff on the internet...shade...sun...part shade....what was that called???? But I am so excited thinking about how the beds will look after they fill in! |

Danna, you know we're all going to want to see pic's when it's all filled in, give it a month or two and it should all be beautiful. |
Barb, that's beyond my comprehension. Disgusting, and I'm not talking as much about the pee as the "peeple." It's those types that give them all a bad name. |
I agree with that being VERY DISGUSTING. Besides those same 2 guys could have reused their beer bottles that they had just emptied. If ya know what I mean. |

Hey Debbie - nice shot of Ruben's (The Cook) rear end lol. Actually I think that's his best side. We had so much fun despite the cold. Spent Sunday getting most everything planted. Thank you all so much and a great big thank you to Sylvia for organizing us. |
Barefoot I still think ya should of grabbed more but hey you won't be as sore as some of us. LOL Then comes the Fall swap!!!! Yea I'm getting excited just thinking about it. This is a great group & I think we should all post pictures as our babies grow this summer. Tell Ruben sorry about the tail end of him, he bent over just as I was taking the picture & then my batteries went dead. Debbie |

You could cut the recipe into thirds if you want to make just one loaf. |
yes Barb you can do that on the website & it will give you all the new measurements Debbie |

Youssou N'Dour By Dan Rosenberg Published November 21, 2006 Youssou N'Dour's journey began in 1959, in Dakar, Senegal. Although his mother was a praise singer from the gawlo (griot) caste of the Tukulor people, N'Dour's parents urged him to become a civil servant.
But Youssou persisted, ultimately evolving into one of the most gifted and beloved innovators of African music.The late Laye Mboup inspired him to create the mbalax style, which evolved from the imported Afro-Cuban sounds that dominated the West African pop scene in the 1950s and '60s. In 1983, the 24-year-old N'Dour recorded the groundbreaking album Immigrés (Sterns/Earthworks), which brought him together with the British rock artist and world music booster Peter Gabriel. Major labels jumped to sign N'Dour. When it came time to record Joko, his 2000 album, N'Dour faced a dilemma. Throughout Europe, where audiences are used to listening to music in different languages, his heavily produced crossover records showed up regularly on the pop charts. In America, however, his music was still relegated to the world music bins. Ultimately, he decided to balance the Senegalese mbalax and international pop.Sony France was extremely happy with Joko and it won rave reviews and made the Top 20 on pop charts across the continent. But Sony was concerned that there wasn't an appropriate in-house label to market the album in the U.S. In an almost unprecedented move, Joko was licensed to the Warner-affiliated Nonesuch label.Rather than issuing the French version of the album intact, Nonesuch decided to make a few changes. Feeling that the pop songs with Sting and Wyclef Jean didn't fit Nonesuch's image, they convinced N'Dour to replace them with two mbalax tracks direct from Dakar, "Miss" and the overtly political "Mademba (The Electricity is out Again)," dedicated to trade unionist Mademba Sock. In the end, Nonesuch's version of Joko turned out to be N'Dour's best international release in a decade, providing a rare look into the mind of this multi-dimensional super talent.Nonesuch has since issued N'Dour's highly praised Nothing's In Vain (2002) and Egypt, in which he explored his conversion to Islam.Recommended RecordingsImmigrés (Stern's/Earthworks)Joko (Nonesuch)Egypt (Nonesuch)

Thanks for the link, Brewski! This used to be one of my favorite NES games back in the day. I love the Space Mountain board.
Im sorry if this has already been posted.
I found a site that has a bunch of old video Games that you can play online for free. They even have the Old game for the NES, Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. The game takes place in MK so I thought I would just post it and see if anyone else remembers this classic game. Honestly I was pretty pumped when I found tis site. Good luck!!
60% of the time it works everytime
Thanks for the link, Brewski! This used to be one of my favorite NES games back in the day. I love the Space Mountain board.
You see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbitt!
I just looked at it and it's all coming back to me...I used to have that game.
I wonder is my brother still has it.
Thanks for the link!
Tampa just sent me his!
Bummer, just checked with my bro and his system died. He did tell me he has a old Dreamcast system with a cd of every NES game. Wonder if he would give it to me?
I have this on a CD, an emulator with every NES game. This game was hard, speciall HM and Pirates board, need a controller, but I loved the Space Mountain board, totally gave me awesome headaches watching the graphics!
- Brant Wigginton

I have this game on my pc nintendo emulator (and about 50 others) and since I didn't need the cartridge anymore, I hooked Trend up .. Hard game huh, Trend?

[916] Identification and Characterization of Viable Bone Metastases from Rapid Autopsies of Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer Patients
R Mehra, Bo Han, C Kumar-Sinha, X Jing, X Cao, J Granger, S Shanker, DC Smith, RB Shah, AM Chinnaiyan, KJ Pienta. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
Background: Bone is the most common metastatic site for prostate cancer, and osseous metastases are the leading cause of morbidity of this disease. In fact, recent careful autopsy studies prove that 100% of the men who die of prostate cancer have bone involvement. Understanding the biology of prostate cancer and its evolution to an incurable androgen independent phenotype thus warrants an investigation into the genetic and cellular alterations that lead to the seeding and proliferation of these tumor foci in bone, as well as the microenvironment in which these metastases arise.
Design: Between September 1996 to present, 51 rapid autopsies were performed on men who died of advanced androgen independent metastatic prostate cancer at the University of Michigan. As a part of a new protocol, multiple osseous sites including the vertebrae, femurs, and humeri of all patients were longitudinally sectioned and examined for presence of grossly visible metastases. Examination of bone metastases was also guided by the patient's bone scan. Bone marrow tissues harboring either spongy beefy red normal marrow or grossly evident tumor and foci suspicious for tumor were procured for phenotypic assessment and RNA extraction.
Results: We employed a novel technique using gross examination and bone scan guided dissections to procure viable metastatic tumor tissues from involved bones in 13 recent warm autopsies. The presence of viable bone metastasis was confirmed by evaluation of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections of frozen material. The bone metastatic tissues were used for isolating RNA and DNA. Real-time PCR based expression profiling of the most common prostate cancer specific genes, such as PSA, PCA3, ERG, TMPRSS2-ERG, and AMACR was carried out. As expected, PSA and PCA3 show very high levels of expression in all the samples examined, while the expression of AMACR, ERG, and TMPRSS2-ERG showed variable expression across the sample set. Ongoing studies include microarray based comparison of osseous metastatic tissues with non-osseous metastatic tissues within an individual patient as well as in the entire cohort.
Conclusions: Taken together, we describe a versatile and practical approach to describe the phenotypic and molecular/biochemical characteristics of osseous metastasis in men who died of androgen independent prostate cancer.

Best Winter Lodges
Courtesy of The Balsams Grand Resort
The Balsams Grand Resort, Dixville Notch, NH
It's rare to see Old Yankee gentility prevail these days, but at The Balsams, men still wear jackets to dinner. Set in the remote northern reaches of New Hampshire's White Mountains, The Balsams is one of the last of the fabled 19th-century New England resorts. The 15,000-acre resort is paradise for winter sports lovers, with its own ski mountain and 60 miles of cross-country trails, as well as snowshoeing and skating. The 400 rooms are simply furnished, log fires burn in the public room hearths, and all meals are included. —Everett Potter

A lack of continuity in a feature film or television drama can be incredibly distracting to the audience. If you have a keen eye you may notice certain inconsistencies – for example, when an actor is wearing glasses in one shot and then the glasses mysteriously disappear in the next. These mistakes happen because separate takes of a scene may be shot and re-shot days or weeks apart. If copious notes aren't taken to ensure that each take matches perfectly, you end up with glaring errors such as a Roman soldier wearing a digital watch in 'Gladiator'!
A good Script Supervisor needs to be a knowledgeable diplomat – to know how films are made and understand the dynamics of each scene – to know that each scene is made up of shots which, when edited together, will form the seamless flow of action that tells the story. This is the magic of film.
What skills does a Script Supervisor need?
- Shorthand, typing and computer literacy with detail-orientated and fastidious organisational skills.
- A good sense of visual composition, perspective and movement with the ability to observe and retain visual information.
- To be knowledgeable about digital and film cameras, editing, lighting and audio mixing and recording.
- An extensive knowledge of film and television production.
- Clear note-taking and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- The ability to collaborate, to work as part of a team and to be able to be calm in difficult situations.
- Diplomacy and sensitivity when working with artists and crew.
- Ability to trouble shoot and respond quickly to changing circumstances.
- Knowledge of the requirements of the relevant Health and Safety legislation and procedures.

Apex Energy Solutions founder Michael Foit's resume might not be typical for the founder of fast-growing home-improvement firm, but his experiences as an actor, artist, bartender, night-club manager and window salesman certainly helped to drive his success. His theatrical and artistic life taught him how to reach an audience and strive for success. As a bartender and club manager, he learned the power of good, attentive customer service. But his "temporary" work as a window salesman probably did the most to fuel his vision by exposing him to a glaring need in that industry: someone who would forego high-pressure sales of low-quality products and instead help homeowners make sensible decisions about high-quality home improvements.
