POSTPRESS automation -- Backing into IT
February 2004One of the main reasons for making a switch is that the JDF specification, with its Job Messaging Format (JMF), is designed for bi-directional communication. PPF was developed only to communicate job data from prepress to downstream operations for use in automating device makeready and setup. JDF adds the capability for devices to potentially report back their capabilities, status and progress toward completing a job.
The JDF specification uses a different data structure than PPF, but it includes an appendix detailing—element by element—how PPF maps to JDF, Harvey points out. PPF wasn't simply rolled into JDF "because, for all intents and purposes, it's a proprietary format, not an open specification like XML (extensible markup language), which is the foundation of JDF," he explains.
Freestanding JDF controllers are likely to become a commonly used solution for dealing with legacy equipment and manual processes in the bindery, Harvey believes. Such a controller could provide an interface to several different devices or even a whole department, he says.
"The server would act as a bridge between MIS systems and automated bindery equipment," the association exec observes. "This approach would provide a migration path that would be a little more friendly to a shop's capital budget. A lot of installed devices already have some capability to be included into an automated workflow, so it would just be a matter of slaving them (using their proprietary language) to a JDF-enabled controller."
Manual operations can be handled in a similar fashion, Harvey asserts. In the JDF specification, manual labor is one of the resources that can be used by a process, he points out.
"If a job hits a non-automated point in an automated workflow, the job data can be brought up to a PC monitor, control pad or other display device," Harvey explains. "The operator does the work as directed, then comes back to report its completion before calling up the next job."
Another issue that must dealt with throughout the plant, and not just in postpress, is the need to create "handshakes" between the implementations of JDF in specific workflow components (hardware and software). The process of learning what a device is capable of is called "creating a handshake," Harvey says.
Version 1.2 of the specification (due to be published in April) includes a greatly expanded section on "Device Capabilities" to allow for the automatic creation of handshakes between devices, he reveals. However, it will be some time before a large number of devices supporting v1.2 capabilities are available and installed.
Lining Up Teams
That's where the efforts of Networked Graphic Production (NGP) Partners, PrintCity and other groups come into play, Harvey says. They are developing handshakes between specific combinations of software and hardware products to realize the potential of JDF sooner.
Assuming these potential impediments to JDF's implementation in postpress can be overcome, that still leaves open the question of whether an automated workflow realistically can span a printer and outside trade binder, or will it only be practical for operations under one roof? Harvey says cross-enterprise connections technically are possible, but at a minimum would require a very close working relationship between the parties.
In terms of real-world application, CIM in printing remains at the pioneering stage. One company that is pushing the envelope, including extending it throughout the process, is Action Printing in Fond du Lac, WI.
Peter Doyle, operations manager, says he believes it can be a mistake to get hung up with names and file designations. "What we are trying to do is enter job data once and then reuse it," Doyle explains. "I don't care what file type it is, as long as it's a format that more than one piece of equipment can read."
The printer was credited with being the first shop to use PPF files to drive a Muller Martini Prima saddle stitcher equipped with an Automated MakeReady System (AMRYS). "When you can have somebody sitting at a desk in the customer service area creating a file that actually makereadies a machine without turning a wrench, that's amazing to me," Doyle says.
Action Printing has also been using PPF data to set up jobs on its Polar flatbed cutter. The shop had the machine for two years before implementing the digital link, the operations manager reports. "We had to purchase a PC and CompuCut software to tie it in," he notes.
Through a separate initiative, the shop has already addressed the two-way flow of information. According to Doyle, direct machine interface (DMI) systems—including Auto-Count and Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) units from what is now Printcafe Logic—have been tied into Action's Covalent MIS server.
A DMI on the stitcher, for example, provides production data that is used for scheduling, job costing and production reporting of makeready times, waste and run speeds. The unit captures a pulse from the stitcher so it can track how many pieces are produced, he reports.
"DMI devices have been around for years, but they haven't caught on widely in the printing industry," Doyle says. He would like to see the devices enhanced so they can operate as "smart boxes" to eliminate the need to rekey data.
"The reason we got into it (CIM) is because we want to be able to save money, process jobs faster, increase throughput and improve efficiency. We've done that, and we're also able to set up equipment more accurately and consistently," Doyle adds.
Action Printing has found that the ideal place to capture job data is at the job layout/printing imposition stage, its operations manager reports. It uses Upfront software from Scenic Software (now part of Creo Inc.).
"Some people are talking about using data from the work order or job ticket. I don't see that as being a good source for JDF data," Doyle states.
Currently there is a lot of hype associated with JDF, and the concept is being driven more by the manufacturers and standards committee than it is by printers, Doyle maintains. "Some people make it too complicated," he says. "The majority of printers I hear from have no concept of how a job data file is going to be created or used.
"It (CIM) is a lot easier than people think," Doyle continues. "We're a $17.5 million printing company with 103 employees and we've been able to make it work." The shop primarily produces books, publications and manuals.
Doyle likens the adoption process to the experience of addressing the Y2K bug. "Companies should consider putting a committee together," he advises. "They should start by asking some basic questions: Where can we capture this data? What is the benefit going to be to our company? Can we justify the expense?"
Action Printing included bindery and finishing personnel in the problem-solving meetings and training it conducted in implementing PPF. "The level of teamwork and communication really has to increase, especially during the initial roll out," Doyle stresses.
He sees JDF support becoming for the printing industry what UL approval is for consumer products. "Buyers will look for it even if they don't plan to immediately use the capability," Doyle concludes.
To round out the discussion, a couple of leading vendors of postpress equipment provided their perspectives on some of the issues. Both are CIP4 member companies.
Older generation equipment does present a challenges, agrees Werner Naegeli, president and CEO of Muller Martini Corp. "JDF integration is really only feasible with current or new equipment," he says. "Retrofitting the required servos and automated makeready capabilities to take data directly through JDF on older machinery is not feasible."
Taking a Leap of Faith
Since the CIP3/PPF workflow hasn't been widely established in the binding/finishing arena, Naegeli sees an opportunity for shops to "leapfrog" directly to JDF technology. "PPF is a dead-end in regard to further development, but existing installations can be upgraded in most cases to JDF," he says.
In addition to being active in CIP4, Muller Martini is an NGP Partners company. Naegeli characterizes that effort as enabling plug-and-play integration of equipment, as long as it is NGP certified. "The goal is to have the certification done for the current members by Drupa 2004," he reports.
According to recent surveys, most printers see investing in automated finishing systems as the next step in realizing a more efficient production workflow, points out Jim Mauro, product manager for Prinect press products at Heidelberg. "JDF-enabled systems will more closely integrate postpress with prepress for higher efficiency, but will also enable owners to acquire actual machine production information via JMF," Mauro says.
"Given shrinking margins and lower run lengths, it is critical for printers to keep a close watch on their operational and material costs. The ability to analyze shop floor production data will assist them in seeing which jobs are efficiently produced with the equipment that they are using," the product manager contends.
As for incorporating legacy equipment into JDF workflows, Mauro endorses the concept of having operators manually enter data through what he calls Human Interface Terminals. "This approach is a proven method that has been used in printing and other industries for many years," he asserts.
Will the implementation of JDF/CIM become the next revolution in printing? The concept has met with its share of skepticism. The plan is pretty much in place, though, and many of the pieces should be too after Drupa. The answer then will be found in how industry companies choose to vote with their investment dollars.

CHICAGO, Ill. (February 4, 2010) In a study to be presented today at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's (SMFM) annual meeting, The Pregnancy Meeting , in Chicago, researchers will unveil findings that show that acupuncture may be an effective treatment for depression during pregnancy.
"Depression during pregnancy is an issue of concern because it has negative effects on both the mother and the baby as well as the rest of the family," said Dr. Schnyer, one of the study's authors.
About 10% of pregnant women meet criteria for major depression and almost 20% have increased symptoms of depression during pregnancy. The rates of depression in pregnant women are comparable to rates seen among similarly aged non-pregnant women and among women during the postpartum period, but there are far fewer treatment studies of depression during pregnancy than during the postpartum period.
Dealing with depression is difficult for pregnant women because the use of anti-depressants poses concerns to the developing fetus and women are reluctant to take medications during pregnancy.
In the study, an evaluator-blinded randomized trial, 150 participants who met the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) criteria for Major Depressive Disorder were randomized to receive either acupuncture specific for depression (SPEC, n=52) or one of two active controls: control acupuncture (CTRL, n=49) or massage (MSSG, n=49). Treatments lasted eight weeks (12 sessions). Junior acupuncturists masked to treatment assignment needled participants at points prescribed by senior acupuncturists. Massage therapists and patients were not blinded. The primary outcome was the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, administered by blinded raters at baseline and after four and eight weeks of treatment. Data were analyzed using mixed effects models and by intent-to-treat.
The results showed that the women who received SPEC experi

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I bought a pair of RTi8s on sale from frys.com for about $350 shipped. The RTi series (RTi4, RTi6, RTi8, RTi10, and RTi 12) are being replaced with the newer 2008 version, the RTI A series, resulting in sales from them clearing their stock. The speaker normally retails for around $250 I would say. As far as I know, the speakers are the same as their newer counterparts, except for a nicer wooden finish. The first thing you notice about the Polk Audio RTi8 is its aesthetics. Its gorgeous compared to most speakers, using a real wood veneer available in black oak or cherry, and is attractive with the front screen on or off. First let me say, you get what you pay for. If you're not a huge sound buff that needs accuracy or crystal clear clarity and only want speakers for casual listening and watching dvds, you can buy some somewhat decent HTIB 5.1 speaker systems for about the same price as these. But if you have the means and want to start a real home theater/music system, this is a pretty good place to start. Speakers are bi-wireable, bi-ampable. I'm using a modest Onkyo 805 receiver with no additional amplifier. I'm certain it would benefit greatly with the addition of an amplifier though. Despite no amplifier, I'll try to describe the speaker in one word, clarity. The sound highs are right on pitch without harshness, the mids don't wander off and the bass is punchy. I'd recommend using a subwoofer as almost any speaker will sound better with the addition of a quality subwoofer. I'm currently using a SVS PB12 sub for the low low frequencies, and accompanied with the Polks, its spot on. I can listen for hours if I wanted to with no listening fatigue. It has a wide soundstage for a beginner loudspeaker and dialogue through tv or movies is also clear. Listening to an orchestral recording as a reference, you can tell if speakers can pull their weight due to range of high and low frequencies. With the RTi8s, they certainly do pull their weight. I can turn up the volume very loudly without distortion. You can spend more for better speakers, but most people neither have the resources or even want to shell out thousands for speakers when money can be spent much better ways. But for 90% of people, I think this would satisfy them greatly, enhancing their music, movie, and tv experience significantly. I use these with a Samsung LCD HDTV, XBOX 360, and a Sony 5 disc dvd player, and the Polks sound great from all of these sources.

Hong Kong's Disneyland site is to become the home of Marvel's superheroes after new plans were recently unveiled for the theme park.
The city's financial chief John Tsang Chun-wah announced the proposals, which - according to local reports - will be completed by 2017.
He said the Marvel section will be "the first of its kind in the world".
Although it is the smallest Disneyland in existence, the development will make the Hong Kong site unique - something which should contribute to a jump in visitor numbers.
One or two characters are to be introduced as the core of the extension, but just who these will be depends on decisions over the next few months.
Disney previously said it planned to introduce more elements from Marvel Entertainment into its theme parks, with the corporation having acquired the latter in 2009 for $4 billion.
The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man took a total of $141 million during their runs on mainland China in 2012, featuring as the fourth and 10th highest-grossing international releases in the country.

Re: Does the government's extension of unemployment benefits keep the jobless from seeking employment?
54 % of all Texas jobs are minimum wage jobs and acording to the labor department two people with one child working 40 hours a week on minimum wage still qualify for public assistance. If you think someone bringing home more money on un-employment than they could on minimum wage who lost their jobs due to government free trade deals is going to stop their un-employment for a minimum wage job you are crazy. Do not blame them either.

Private transfers to our hotel, The Victoria & Alfred Hotel located on The Waterfront Pier.
Time to check-in, unpack, relax after the long flight.
4:00 pm Late afternoon orientation tour of Cape Town. A historical, cultural and social orientation tour of Cape Town, including Table Mountain, Bo Kaap - the Cape Malay Quarter and the Castle of Good Hope.
Cape Town
The second most populous city in the country of South Africa and considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The city is a rare cultural mix, resulting from the amalgamation of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers, the local Bushman and Hottentot tribes and the Bantu tribes from the north.
Bo Kaap-Cape Malay
The Cape Malay community is an ethnic group that derives its name from the present-day Western Cape of South Africa. The community's earliest members were enslaved Javanese transported by the Dutch East India Company. They were followed by slaves from various other Southeast Asian regions, and political dissidents and Muslim religious leaders who opposed the Dutch presence in what is now Indonesia and were sent into exile. Malays also have significant South Asian (Indian) slave ancestry. Starting in 1654, these resistors were imprisoned or exiled in South Africa by the Dutch East India Company, which founded and used what is now Cape Town as a resupply station for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. They were the group that first introduced Islam to South Africa.
Castle of Good Hope
Castle of Good Hope is a star fort built in the 17th century by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a maritime replenishment station, and is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa.
From 1678 it was the center of civilian, administrative and military life at the Cape, until the settlement grew and some functions and activities moved away from the Castle. Today the Castle is the seat of the military in the Cape, and houses the Castle Military Museum and Iziko Museums of Cape Town (William Fehr Collection).
In 1936 the Castle was declared a national monument and following restorations in the 1980s it is considered the best preserved example of a Dutch East India Company fort.
Table Moutain
One of Africa's most famous landmarks, the sandstone mountain is some two miles wide and 3,500 feet high, offering magnificent views of Table Bay, Robben Island, and the Cape Town city, which completely encircles it.
The phenomena of clouds pouring over the top of Table Mountain, is what gives the mountain its name.
Evening at leisure.
Overnight: The Victoria & Alfred Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa.
Built in 1904 as the North Quay Warehouse and converted to a luxury hotel in 1990, it is named in honor of The Queen of England and her son, Prince Alfred. It was the Waterfront's first hotel and it remains the best located with gorgeous harborside views. It was recently renovated and all the bedrooms are spacious and elegant with large bathrooms.

Full buffet breakfast in the restaurant of our hotel.
Full morning dedicated to the visit of the Iziko South African Museum. The South African Museum houses more than one and a half million specimens of scientific importance. The collections range from fossils almost 700-million years old to insects and fish caught last week. There are also stone tools made by people 120,000 years ago.
The visit will focus on human evolution in ecological contexts.
Lunch at Oasis Bistro of the Mount Nelson Hotel.
After lunch, continue to the Southern Suburbs for an in-depth visit of The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, one of the great botanic gardens of the world. There are few sites on earth to match the sheer grandeur of this setting against the eastern slopes of Cape Town's Table Mountain. Kirstenbosch was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, the first botanic garden in the world to be so named.
Following our visit, we continue to Chapman's Peak where we focus on the geology of this site declared Natural World Heritage by UNESCO.
Carved out of the face of the mountain between 1915 and 1922, the road was at the time regarded as a major feat of engineering and is touted as one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. With sheer drops to the sea below and towering mountains rising above you the twists and 114 curves in the road seem endless.
On the route we will see fascinating geological formations and the Sea Point Contact Zone where we will learn about Darwin's sociological observations.
Return to our hotel.
Dinner this evening at Harbour House restaurant at The Waterfront, just a couple minutes' walk from our hotel.
tuesday may 5
Depart this morning for a full day in Stellenbosch.
South Africa's wine industry goes back to the first European settlement, at Cape Town, more than 350 years ago. Dutch traders established an outpost to supply ships with fresh food and water. Cape Town was roughly halfway between the Netherlands and Dutch trading outposts in Asia. When the French Huguenots settled at the Cape in 1680s they brought with them the skills and knowledge to truly get viticulture off the ground. The Cape has a mild Mediterranean climate (with winter rainfall) and other conditions that make it suitable for cultivating grapes. Although most of their grape varieties were imported, South Africa's winemakers have also developed their own cultivars. The most famous is "pinotage," a cross between Pinot Noir and cinsaut.
Visit to Jordan Wine Estate.
Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class wines since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over 300 years. He's a geologist, she's an economist – together this husband and wife team is a phenomenon.
Recently the Jordan Restaurant was named as one of the Top 10 restaurants in South Africa. It also received the Decanter International Chardonnay Trophy, the second time in 3 years.
Lunch at Jordan Wine Estate.

The Zulus call these peaks uKhahlamba, "barrier of spears." The Drakensberg is the highest mountain range in South Africa, crowned by the Amphitheater, a three-mile-long, up-to-3,280-foot-high wall of rock. The range forms the border between South Africa and eastern Lesotho and the uKhalhlamba/Drakensberg Park is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.

thursday may 7
Breakfast in the restaurant of our hotel.
We begin our first morning in Drakensberg Park with our guide, a specialist on South African Rock Art. We will visit secluded sites in beautiful scenery beginning with a drive (40 mins) to Kamberg to see famous Game Pass site.
Here, on the walls of a narrow sandstone shelter, are painted a great many images of eland (the largest of all antelopes). For a shelter so open to the elements, the paintings are miraculously well preserved and in some places the brush marks can still be seen. Situated among the many images of eland are smaller human figures in running postures. This site, however, is most famous for a cluster of images tucked away on one side of the shelter. It was extensive analysis of these images that first led scholars to the realization that the art was a system of metaphors closely associated with San shamanistic religion.
Picnic lunch in conjunction with the program.
Continue with cave visits.
Return to the lodge at the end of the afernoon.
Informal Q&A session with a rock art specialist before dining together at the lodge.

sunday may 10
Transfer to the township of Soweto to visit Mandela House.
Originally an acronym for "South Western Townships", Soweto is the most populous black urban residential area in South Africa. Since it came into being, Soweto was at the centre of campaigns to overthrow the apartheid state and the home of several political and social luminaries, such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, who once lived in the now famous Vilakazi Street.
Lunch in a traditional African restaurant in Soweto.
Continue to the Apartheid Museum for a guided tour.
The Apartheid Museum opened in 2001 and is acknowledged as the pre-eminent museum in the world dealing with 20th century South Africa, at the heart of which is the rise and fall of apartheid. For anyone wanting to understand and experience what apartheid South Africa was really like, a visit to the Apartheid Museum is fundamental.
Dinner tonight at The Cube.
Overnight: The Michelangelo Hotel, Johannesburg, South Africa
monday may 11
Depart this morning to the University of Witwatersrand for a visit at the Evolutionary Studies Institute.
The Evolutionary Studies Institute (ESI) was recently established through the amalgamation of the Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research and the Institute for Human Evolution. The ESI is built on the foundation of more than eight decades of research by the University of the Witwatersrand on the exceptional fossil and archaeological resources available in South Africa. It is the largest palaeontological/ palaeoanthropological research entity in Africa and one of the largest of its kind in the world.
Morning visit with Professor Lee Berger who is a paleoanthropologist and an Explorer for National Geographic. He will talk about the discovery of Australopithecus sediba and the ongoing research at Rising Star.
Senior Collections Curator Bernhard Zipfel will take our group to the "Fossil Vault" to see the original South African fossils including "Little Foot", A. Sediba, and the Taung Child.

Researchers can scan fossils with maximum dimensions of 23 cm and achieve resolution approaching 5 microns. Scientists use the facility to investigate the wealth of fossils curated in the Palaeosciences Centre, including a substantial amount of material representing human ancestors. The Virtual Imaging in Palaeosciences laboratory, or VIP lab, is where in silico reconstruction and analysis of these precious fossils take place… allowing scientists to reconstruct fossils back to reality from virtual reality.
Lunch to follow.
Drive to Sterkfontein.
By far the richest and most famous fossil site in South Africa is the Sterkfontein Cave where the bones of 'Little Foot', 'Mrs Ples' and hundreds of others have been found. Along with the 2-million-year-old stone tools unearthed at these sites, the evidence can tell us much about the precursors of modern humans.
Enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Sterkfontein, (after the site has been closed for the day to the public) with geoarchaeologist and Sterkfontein Coordinator of Research, Dr. Dominic Stratford.
Our group will be joined by paleoanthropologist Dr. Ronald Clarke to discuss his discovery, 'Little Foot', an almost complete Australopithecus skeleton around 3-million years old. Archeologist Kathy Kuman will also show some of southern Africa's oldest stone tool assemblages.
Our final evening together will include a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy Sterkfontein in a truly remarkable way, "Cocktails and Tales". After sundowners overlooking the Cradle, an intimate dinner will be hosted inside the cave*. After dinner, Dr. Clarke, who began his career as a technical assistant to Dr. Louis Leakey in Kenya, will share tales of Louis and Mary Leakey, having worked closely with both, for many years.
*The dinner will take place inside the cave barring any issues at the time that could make the dinner unsafe or uncomfortable for guests.
Return to the hotel at the end of the evening.
wednesday may 13
Departures throughout the day.
Transfers can be organized upon request.

The new gulf war will be an amazing thing.
It won't be like the previous two in any way.
This time there will be a clear strategy from the start: to kill the bad people.
And the range of activities to be performed will be tightly bounded: we won't go into ground operations unless all the air operations turn out to be not quite as effective as we thought. Then we'll vacillate about whether we meant we weren't going to go in on the ground, agonize about whether we have the correct authorities to do so, and then under resource it. To make it interesting.
We know exactly that this is the thing that the enemy least wants: the people cutting off heads and making videos of it precisely don't want us to attack them. That's the thing they're most seeking to avoid. Because if we don't attack them they'll be able to find cohesion amongst Middle Eastern populations to widen the caliphate. It's either that or it's precisely what they want. Bit like AQ and the death by a thousand cuts that bin Laden predicted for Gulf War II.
We won't turn a blind eye to who is – predominantly – funding these groups, and we will certainly make stiff representations to them: unless they have lot of money. In which case we'll pretend the root cause is something else. Because that's less inconvenient.
We will give our armed forces the %GDP funding and capabilities to deal with these endless interventions: or, alternatively, we'll keep forgetting that we said we'd stop intervening, cut the funding and wonder why it's all a bit touch and go. God forbid we actually and seriously engage in drumming out duplication in Europe to make sure that our buck is delivering a bang not a sizzle. (Sorry, I realise I went far too far there….)
This time when we break the china in the shop, we'll own the shop. Definitely. We won't cut and run with the shop still broken and a big sign saying 'easy thieving opportunities here' placed in the window. No sir. Unless we get bored of the people not being able to stop killing each other. Which is, afterall, very tedious.
So, off to war we go.
But it would be nicer to have an exit strategy from the start, and a range of things that looked like an understanding of what success in this space is.
Most importantly, I wonder whether Chilcot will manage to report before Gulf War IV?

text: Much has been said and written about the so-called conflict between religion and science, as though the one were a contradiction or denial of the other. This conflict is for the most part imaginary. Religion and science lie in different provinces and each has its own legitimate field; the former deals mostly with the world of unseen realities which science cannot know, the latter mostly with the world of sense and matter about which religion has little to say. God is the source of both in so far as they are true, hence there can be no real contradiction between them. Conflict arises only when the scientist tries to turn theologian, or the theologian scientist. In other words, whatever conflict there is, it is not between religion and science, but between theologian and scientist when either or both overstep the limits of their respective fields in interpreting certain facts or in drawing certain conclusions from facts. "The scientist studies phenomena and their laws. The moment he abandons secondary causes to occupy himself with flrst and final causes he is false to his method and must become involved in an inextricable labyrinth; but so long as he is content to confine himself to matter and sequences of material phenomena there is little danger of unfriendly encounter between himself and the theologian who understands his business." (Spalding, Lectures and Discourses) Likewise the theologian as long as he remains within his territory of revealed doctrine is not likely to bring upon himself the attacks of scientists. It is when he engages in speculation on matters about which religion should have nothing to say that he occasions what is so wrongly called the conflict between religion and science. The remedy or prevention lies in ascertaining what religion really teaches and what science really proves and in distinguishing this knowledge carefully from the speculations of some theologians on the one hand or the opinions of some men of science on the other. The truly great in either field are witnesses to the fact that true science and true religion are not at war with one another.New Catholic Dictionary

Baptist Youth Ministries Vision
Baptist Youth Ministries Values, Vision and Mission Purpose Statement "Helping Baptist Churches transform youth into vibrant, dedicated, contagious followers of Jesus Christ." Core Values Prayerfulness We are dedicated to seeking the will of God in establishing our vision, mission and goals, and develop these areas in what we believe is a faithful response to His prompting. Faithfulness We are committed to faithfully fulfilling the primary call upon our lives to worship God through adoration, service and reflection on a daily basis. Reflection We are committed to a lifestyle and ministry that takes the time to reflect on the character of God illustrated in His Word, His People and His Creation. Flexibility We recognise that as time passes social change inevitably occurs. We are committed to remaining flexible in our ministry so that the unchanging message of God's love for His World can remain fresh and relevant. Furthermore we recognise and affirm the ideal that ministry is tending a garden rather than servicing a machine and as such every ministry situation is unique. Persons We value persons over programs. Generosity We seek to reflect the generosity of God in all that we do; the use of our time, resources and abilities, and by a commitment to promote and financially assist missions around the world. Above all other things the individuals who make up Baptist Youth Ministries NSW and ACT are committed to seeking God and faithfully following in the direction He leads. Vision We see a unified movement of youth committed to a lifestyle of worship and mission, proclaiming Christ and producing Youth Ministry of excellence. We see youth from every nation growing in Christian maturity. We see Baptist Youth Ministries (NSW and ACT) taking a leading role in shaping Australian Youth Ministry – academically, philosophically and practically. We see Baptist Youth reaching their God-given potential as partners with the Holy Spirit in transforming Australian young people into the likeness of Jesus. We see Youth from Baptist Churches providing godly leadership within the Christian and Australian culture. We see leaders committed to a life calling in Youth Ministry, and increasingly long term ministries within Baptist Churches in NSW and ACT. Mission Identity We exist to provide identity for Baptist Youth by modelling vibrant relationship with God through the power of the Holy Spirit, principled teaching of the Bible and training for a life of ministry. Evangelism We exist to provide young people with an opportunity to meet the God who loves them. Advocacy We exist to support youth pastors and leaders in their local contexts. Training We exist to serve youth pastors and leaders by providing exceptional training for the ongoing task of reaching and discipling youth within their Church and wider communities. Equipping We exist to serve the Churches of the Baptist Union in helping create sustainable, vibrant, effective, principled Youth Ministry in the local Church. Creativity We exist to help Baptist Youth re-imagine Church and create new, edgy, effective worship communities. Partnership We exist to partner with other organisations in advancing the Kingdom of God. Lifestyle We exist to link faith and mission lifestyle in the lives of Baptist youth. Services Provided Evangelism and Preaching Baptist Youth Ministries can provide gifted evangelists and teachers for youth groups, regional events, camps and other activities. Training We aim to provide training for youth leaders and pastors at various levels, from very practical 'how to' seminars through to comprehensive youth ministry courses (12 hour weekend or midweek training – 2005) and practical theology for youth pastors. Consultancy Baptist Youth Ministries is available to observe your youth ministry, interview youth staff and attend Church services to reflect a 'snap shot' of local youth ministry highlighting strengths and weaknesses and helping to formulate strategies for growth. From 2005 a team of specialists will be available for this work. Events We are committed to ongoing, regular large scale youth events. We are dedicated to creativity, excellence and affordability in all our events. Camps Baptist Youth Ministries runs camps at various stages of the year for youth including such things as a snow camp, rural and regional camps and youth spiritual retreats. We are also in the process of creating 'ready to go' camp programs to help local ministries run effective youth camps. Coaching Andrew is available for coaching of youth pastors, and is committed to raising up excellent practitioners who in turn offer themselves in a coaching / mentoring role. Pastoral Care Limited (critical) pastoral care for youth pastors and key youth leaders is available directly through Baptist Youth Ministries. In conjunction with the Associate Superintendent for Pastoral Development we can also refer appropriate pastoral carers. Spiritual Formation Andrew and a network of skilled practitioners provide spiritual formation and direction through various means: Youth Pastors' Retreats, First Contact Camps and one to one direction.

Thanks Brush also fun! I'm often around folks who hanker after happiness! Quite often not realizing that they have been happy or in pleasure multiple times during a day. I try to watch stupid or sublime at least a couple of time during the week as a form of emotional stimulation/fitness. This morning I watched the steps scene from Potemkin Edd had never seen it then a few minutes later I showed him the vacuum scene form Brazil which parodies it in part. If your ever bored take a virtual tour of the Louvre walk the street of Paris with a google map or many other cities. |

Rosie, It's part of the scented leaf Geranium collection. It's probabaly my favorite one to grow/smell/observe. I got it this spring from the Chieftain's Plant sale in Rome, GA. I got 4 or 5 different geraniums to experiment with. This one I will probably prep to bring inside for the winter. Dora |

Sheree is turning into that big cousin we all run into at the club! Lady Marmaduke partied along with her guest at Mick Boogie's birthday celebration in New York City on Monday night. Now you know damn well that she can't pick Mick Boogie out of a line-up of all black men but jumped at the opportunity to party with the "elite." What she should do is go out for shots with Keyshia Cole's sister Elite and call it a day.

I think it could come back to haunt us, too.
Consider the possiblity the Devin Gardner is the Wolverine savior, and assume all the lineman red-shirt. If Gardner doesn't red-shirt then in his senior year he'll have the 3 from last year, the 1 from this year, and need 1 from next year. That doesn't seem to bad as long as everyone pans out. If Gardner does red-shirt then his 5th year will have 1 fellow 5th year and he'll need 4 younger guys to man the line.
Considering the potential importance of Gardner, and the importance of the O-line for a QB, it would be reassuring to have a few more quality OL moving through with Gardner..
