From the thundering pronouncements of the prophets through the ministry of Jesus and early church apostles, leadership has accepted responsibility to define reality and call people to align with God's eternal purposes. Our cultural context demands the presence of visionary, missional leadership to set direction, define current reality, facilitate alignment to biblical purposes, embody relevant values and make sure the right people are properly equipped and in the right place doing the right work at the right time with the right motivation. This kind of leadership equates to major influence for advancing Kingdom priorities.

No I have not read my calendar wrong, its just that today represents the first Monday of 2011. How can that be? Well a while ago on Memorial Day I posted a blog that pointed out that any solution implemented after Friday September 16th would not have sufficient time to deliver significant results in 2010.
The date is based on the assumption that an IT system needs 90 days to demonstrate measurable business benefits. The calendar does not count December as companies are wrapping up the year-end and holidays.
So have a yourself an extra cup of coffee or a soft drink and rather than think of the year that has passed, think of all the work that needs to be done before everyone else thinks its new year.
Those tasks include:
- Reprioritizing your work to complete current commitments because time is short. Look at how your people are currently deployed, what they are working on and what you committed to do during the calendar year. Resolve any mismatches now, while there is some time to create results.
- Building the information base for demonstrating IT's contribution in 2010. You can start doing that now because chances are any changes you make now will not deliver significant value until last year. In going back over the year be sure to start with solutions or changes made in September 2009 as they are likely to have delivered the majority of their benefits this year. Be sure to have a response to how IT helps increased enterprise productivity and do not forget about the questions every board should ask of their CIO.
- Locking down plans and priorities for calendar year 2011 both in terms of your strategy, budget and organizational structure. Now is the time to contemplate the changes needed to deliver value next year. What is the direction you will announce at your 2011 kick off meetings, the details can wait, but what changes will you make to IT in response to business priorities and technical changes you see coming up next year.
It is never too late to start, but it can be too late to finish. So, Happy New Year and here is to getting a three month head start on everyone else who things that 2011 starts in January.

how this works
Just input the birth dates for mother, father and baby then hit GO. The algorithm will predict baby gender based on the parents birthdays.
The method is NOT 100% accurate, in our tests the algorithm had around 90% accuracy, still a much higher accuracy than any other method for such a big time interval.

Critic Alan Blyth writes in his liner notes:
"The La Scala performance of 1952 is enlivened by De Sabata¹s superb conducting, at once precise, energetic, imbued with the rightful comedy and altogether exhilarating. The veteran baritone seems inspired by his conductor to present an even more imaginative and detailed portrayal than ever before, one quite unstaled by the thousand or so performances he had already given. This is a matter of subtler emphases and vocal chuckles that are so vivid as almost to bring the character before one at home. A critic who saw and heard him at the time wrote that he had to resort to some technical tricks to cover up a voice that was no longer in its prime, but added: "To offset that, his colouring of words was unique as were his gestures, how he moved, his command of the stage".
The 1941 Rome performance, or as much of it as survives, stems from the collection of the German Radio Archive in Frankfurt, and appears for the first time. It seems to be a studio performance as there is no evidence of any audience participation or stage movement. The sound is remarkable for its day. The recording houses an interpretation from Tullio Serafin markedly different from De Sabata¹s. Serafin¹s view of the work seems to be more autumnal, more ruminative than that of his Italian near-contemporary. No less well prepared or well played, it allows us to hear even more of the magic of the orchestration.
The most important aspect of the wartime performance is the presence of Tito Gobbi as Ford. Later he was, of course, a famous Falstaff, but no other souvenir exists of him as Ford. At the time of this performance he was a valued member of the Rome ensemble, having made his debut at the Rome Opera in the 1939-40 season. His voice already has its peculiarly distinctive timbre and he is already a master at projecting character through nourishing the text. His and Stabile¹s account of their Act 2 encounter, full of verbal wit, is a classic of ensemble playing, the one singer encouraging the other to greater heights of intimate colloquy. So, by and large, this is an important addition to the discography of the opera, one to be savoured by the many lovers of the enchanting piece.
Stabile is the only singer common to both versions. More than ten years earlier he is in more rounded voice and seems able to summon up all his histrionic powers without the help of stage action. Thanks to a better quality of sound, one can hear still more of the skills he deploys in creating a rounded portrait of Falstaff.
Stabile sang the role no fewer than 1200 times. He gave it during his first season at Covent Garden in 1926, the year he made recordings of excerpts for Columbia. His first recording of anything from the role was a few months after his 1921 debut in the partthe Honour monologue and scene the with Alice in Act 2. During his return to London in the late 1940s, he recorded Falstaff ¹s two monologues with enormous relish for British Columbia. He also made some extracts from the work for Telefunken in 1942, but no commercial recording was ever made of his complete reading, which is what makes the live performances now preserved on CD so important.
His performance at La Scala in 1952 marked the thirtieth anniversary of his first assumption of the role in the house on 26 December 1921, the opening of La Scala after the first world war. when he benefited ftom the scrupulous coaching of Toscanini and of Giuseppe De Luca, his great predecessor in the part. Interestingly enough, one of Stabile¹s most accomplished successors in the part, Giuseppe Valdengo, also learnt the role in meticulous detail from Toscanini before the maestro¹s famous concert performance and recording of the work in 1950.
CD-1104 (4) VERDI: FALSTAFF - 2 HISTORIC PERFORMANCES: Complete performance from La Scala, Milan given 26 May 1952, conducted by Victor de Sabata; with Mariano Stabile as Falstaff, Paolo Silveri as Ford, Cesare Valletti as Fenton, Mariano Caruso as Cajus, Giuseppe Nessi as Bardolfo, Italo Taio as Pistole, Renata Tebaldi as Alice, Cloë Elmo as Quickly and Anna Maria Canali as Meg; and the previously unissued incomplete recording for RRG (German Radio) with members of Rome Opera, recorded 28 April 1941, conducted by Tullio Serafin*; with Mariano Stabile as Falstaff, Tito Gobbi as Ford, Ferruccio Tagliavini as Fenton, Adelia Zagenara as Cajus, Cesare Masini-Sperti as Bardolfo/Pistole, Franca Somigli as Alice, Augusta Oltrabella as Nanetta, Cloë Elmo as Quickly and Vittorico Palambini as Meg.

Ferrari scored another memorable one-two in todays US Grand Prix at Indianapolis, but it was a race fraught with drama that saw four cars eliminated in a first-corner accident at the start, Fernando Alonso and Ralf Schumacher crash heavily with suspected tyre failures, and Juan Pablo Montoya disqualified after taking the spare car within 15s of the start of the grid formation lap.
Montoyas drama began even as the cars were about to leave the grid for the final formation lap, as a mechanical problem forced the Colombian to sprint back to the garage to take the spare car and thus to start from the pit lane.
Then came the contretemps in the first corner. Fernando Alonso made a fabulous start in his Renault to snatch third place by running round the outside of Kimi Raikkonen and Takuma Sato. But further back Cristiano da Matta got squeezed and set off a chain reaction that involved Gianmaria Bruni, Giorgio Pantano, Felipe Massa and Christian Klien. None of them could continue, and as the carnage was cleared away the safety car was deployed until the end of the fifth lap.
When the safety car pulled into the pits Schumacher got a great run on Barrichello and grabbed the lead long before they reached Turn One. But soon Alonso made a spectacular exit from third place at the start of the ninth lap when the right rear Michelin tyre rolled off the rim. His Renault crashed heavily into the wall in Turn One. Moments later Ralf Schumachers Williams crashed as it exited the final corner. The German spun through 360 degrees before crashing backwards into the outside wall at more than an estimated 360 kph. When his car stopped it was in the middle of the track, facing oncoming traffic. Out came the safety car again, as medics first determined that he had not suffered any spinal injury and then took him to the local Methodist Hospital.
Now brother Michael led, having joined the throng of drivers who pitted immediately the safety car came out for the second time, ahead of Sato, Button, Webber, Montoya, Raikkonen, Barrichello, Trulli, Panis and Heidfeld. The BAR drivers pushed the fuel-heavy Schumacher hard before making their stops on laps 25 (Sato) and 24 (Button), but Jensons race was over by lap 27 when he lost power as he shifted into seventh gear and pulled straight into his pit garage.
Schumachers second pit stop, on the 42nd lap, went perfectly but handed the lead back to Barrichello, who just failed to make up sufficient ground to keep the lead after his own stop on lap 50. The two Ferraris then raced very closely until Michael began to pull away slightly towards the end. It was close at times, Schumacher said, but I think we were clean.
Behind them Montoya fought hard with Jarno Trulli and Takuma Sato for third until he was finally shown the black flag on lap 58 for illegally transferring to the spare car. Two laps later there was more excitement when Sato slipped ahead of Trulli going into Turn One. Both slid wide on to the grass, but got back on the track without further problem and finished in that order. In fifth came Olivier Paniss Toyota, as the Frenchman celebrated his 150th Grand Prix, and sixth and seventh eventually fell to the McLarens of Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard after Giancarlo Fisichellas Sauber picked up a puncture on lap 48. The Italian recovered to run eighth until an hydraulic leak, which as probably a result of an off-course moment while creeping back to the pits with a puncture, forced him to retire on lap 66. There was also bitter disappointment for Mark Webber when his Jaguars engine blew up on lap 60 when he was running in a points-scoring seventh place, and for Nick Heidfeld who drove like a tiger in the early laps to hold off Fisichella, Webber and the McLarens. His Jordan retired on lap 45 with engine trouble. The final point went to a delighted Zsolt Baumgartner and Minardi.
The result doesnt change much in the driverschampionship, but moves McLaren ahead of Sauber in the constructors.

This follows an outstanding crop of GCSE results which saw 75% of all grades reaching A* or A. 67 students (45%) achieved only A*/A grades across all their entries this year, while 10 students gained a clean sweep of A* grades in this year's exams.
Also to be congratulated are all the Y10 students on an extraordinary set of early entry results. More than a third of all grades were A* while almost 80% were A* or A. This bodes very well for the rest of their GCSEs next year.
Additionally, our A Level results were excellent with bumper rises in the top grades this year. Almost 50% of all examination results were at A* or A grades and over 78% at A*, A or B grades. 6 students all achieved a clean sweep of A* grades, while 31 girls achieved all A or A* grades. 5 students gained places at Oxbridge, and 7 students will be studying medicine, three dentistry and one veterinary science. All of these courses are highly competitive and are a testament to the quality of our students and their excellent preparation.

Mississippi State improved to 4-3 last week with a 28-22 home victory over Kentucky. The win was the second in a row and put MSU above the .500 mark for the first time this season. The Bulldogs lost their only two previous SEC games at Auburn (24-20) and versus LSU (59-26). This will be the team's first game outside of Starkville since Sept. 14. Coach Dan Mullen's squad has not had an easy road to this point as its first seven opponents have a combined 38-18 record. Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks bounced back from a disappointing two-point loss at Tennessee, with a thrilling, 27-24, double-overtime victory over the previously unbeaten Missouri Tigers to conclude a three-game road trip last week. The win improved South Carolina to 4-2 in the SEC standings, leaving it as one of three teams in the Eastern Division with two losses to conference foes. The Gamecocks are still trailing Missouri (3-1), but are in good position as they have the luxury of playing at William-Brice Stadium for the rest of the season. After this week, Spurrier's team will have a bye to prepare for their final regular season SEC game of the season versus Florida. The Gamecocks current 14-game home winning streak is just one win shy of the program record set from 1978-80. Although the Bulldogs are posting 30.1 points and 456 total yards per outing, they are ranked only 10th in the SEC in scoring offense and just one spot higher in total offense. They have been held under the 30-point mark in all but two games with the pair of high-scoring outputs coming in their routs of Alcorn State (51-7) and Troy (62-7). Dak Prescott performed well under center in last Thursday's victory over Kentucky, completing 23-of-34 pass attempts for 268 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The sophomore also added 33 rushing yards despite being sacked three times. On the season, Prescott has completed 57.3 percent of his throws for 1,158 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions. He is also leading MSU on the ground with 490 yards and eight scores on 80 carries. LaDarius Perkins is the Bulldogs' second leading rusher at 56.3 ypg. MSU has shown it has plenty of options on the ground as seven different players have scored a rushing touchdown this season. The team's leading receiver, Jameon Lewis, has accounted for three of the rushing scores. He has racked up 30 receptions for 446 yards and four touchdowns through seven games. Lewis reached the end zone in three different ways in a single game for the second time this season as he reeled in a touchdown catch in the third quarter after registering passing and rushing scores in the opening half versus Kentucky. MSU's strong defense was on display against the Wildcats, who were held to 325 total yards and finished 4-of-18 on third-down conversion tries. The Bulldogs rank 38th in the nation in scoring defense (22.9 ppg), and 30th in total defense (358.9 ypg). Benardrick McKinney leads the way with 46 tackles, while Nickoe Whitley is a difference-maker in the secondary with three interceptions. Although South Carolina is ranked ninth out of 14 SEC teams in scoring with 31.9 ppg, it has exhibited one of the most balanced attacks in the conference by rushing for 205.9 ypg and throwing for 269.2 ypg. The Gamecocks started Dylan Thompson at quarterback last week at Missouri as Spurrier intended to give Connor Shaw the game off due to a lingering knee injury. The offense struggled with Thompson under center as three of its first half drives ended with giveaways and another resulted in a turnover on downs. After a scoreless first half, Shaw took over at the start of the third quarter despite his injury. The quarterback change paid off as Shaw guided the Gamecocks back from a 17-0 deficit. He connected on 20-of-29 pass attempts for 201 yards in the crucial win. Although Shaw entered the game in the second half, he tied his season-high with three touchdown passes and came up just one shy of his season-best 21 completions. South Carolina totaled 498 yards of total offense in the game. "You watch and just see the type of player he is," said Mullen on Shaw. "Last week it was completely evident the type of player he is watching that game and what he means to that team. I think he manages the game extremely well. He does what he needs to do for his team to win the game. If it's run the ball he runs it, if it's hand it off he hands it off. I'm sure if they needed to for him to win a game he'll go throw for 500 yards and won't complain about it either. That to me is a manager and a winner at the quarterback position, and he does that very, very well." Shaw's unexpected return was necessary as Mike Davis was held to only 2.7 yards per carry on 19 attempts by the Tigers' defense and lost a pair of fumbles. The lack of production by the sophomore tailback was uncharacteristic as he entered the game netting 6.7 ypc. Davis still found a way to help the cause as he set new career-highs in receptions (10) and receiving yards (99). Despite the poor showing, Davis is still narrowly leading the SEC in rushing yards (930) and is tied for second with 10 touchdowns. His stay on top of the conference's leaderboard may expire soon as he is listed as questionable for Saturday due to an ankle injury he sustained on the team's final drive. Shon Carson will be the team's primary ball carrier if Davis is unable to play. Bruce Ellington also finished the win at Missouri with a career-best 10 catches which went for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The junior wideout now has five receiving touchdowns on the season to go along with his team-best 468 yards. Damiere Byrd (460 yards) and Nick Jones (203 yards) have all been steady contributors to the aerial attack. The Gamecocks defense lived up to the lofty expectations placed upon them in the preseason against the Tigers. Missouri, which entered the game averaging 44.3 ppg and 513.4 ypg, was held to 17 points in regulation and 404 total yards in the contest. USC is ranked third among SEC schools in yards allowed (350.2 ypg), but is seventh in points allowed (22.9 ppg). Due to his incredible total of 13 sacks in 2012, Jadeveon Clowney has had to deal with double and triple-teams throughout the course of the campaign. As a result, he has just two sacks on the season. Clowney has still been a factor with 6.5 TFL and seven QB hurries. Kelcy Quarles has thrived with all of the attention on Clowney and paces the team with 10 TFL and seven sacks. "The Bulldogs have a good quarterback. They have an established line up front. They're just a good team all around," said Quarles on this week's matchup. "We have to come out here on our A-game and do what we need to do to get a win. We can't sleep on anybody going through the next couple games and Mississippi State is just a test in the road." USC's defense has been even better at home, holding North Carolina, Vanderbilt and Kentucky to a mere average of 287.3 total yards. The Bulldogs have a few game breakers on the offensive side of the ball, but they will all need to be at their best to have a shot at an upset. MSU tends to disappear after halftime, which is never a successful recipe against elite competition. The Gamecocks hold an edge despite the injuries to Shaw and Davis due to a stellar defense. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: South Carolina 27, Mississippi State 17 10/30 10:34:33 ET

With the debut of the music video for 'Come & Get It,' it's obvious that Selena's made the transition from squeaky clean teen to sexy vixen! And we have Britney Spears to thank for that, according to a new interview. Keep reading for all the details!
Selena Gomez admits that Britney Spears is the inspiration behind her upcoming Stars Dance World Tour and last month's MTV Movie Awards performance, claiming Britney's "I'm a Slave 4 U" performance in 2001 was Sel's favorite of any awards show!
Britney Spears Inspired Selena Gomez To Be Sexy — From Teen Star To Diva
Following Selena's MTV Movie Awards performance on April 14, Britney tweeted, "Wow @SelenaGomez.. 'Come & Get It' on the #mtvmovieawards was incredible! One of my favorite songs out there right now! And thank you for all of the kind words about the VMA Slave performance ..you're too sweet! Means a lot to me."
Of the shout out on Twitter, Selena told MTV, "It was actually the second time that she tweeted me.. I died the first time. I didn't believe it at first, but it was really sweet, because even with the inspirations through the outfits and the performances, she's a huge inspiration when it comes to performing."
Selena Gomez: Britney Spears Is So Hot
From one Disney star to another, it only seems appropriate that Selena would want to mirror her career after Britney, who's successfully transitioned from teen star to the Queen of Pop.
"I think she's one of the best that made that transition. That video ['Slave 4 U'] is so hot, it's incredible, so I love that, and I definitely wanted to do that with my transition, but I don't think there's a path you have to follow. I think you just have to figure it out and hope for the best, so if it has a similarity, that's only a compliment," Selena added.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Can Selena be the next Britney Spears? Does she have what it takes?

Like my mama always says, "Always make your own footprints in the sand. Don't ever step in someone else's footprints or no one will ever know you existed." It's a simple phrase but you get it. If Selena wants to be the next "Pop princeess" (I doubt it, she has little to no talent people will soon catch that she isn't good) she needs to stop stepping in Britney's footprints. People don't like copycats. And she can't possibly live up to Britney's legend.

She is stupid just like britney was at that age, britney damn near lost her mind, if Britney didn't have family that cared about her, she would have. Selina is just another disney screw up, that gets a large young girl following, only to teach them that being a stupid spoiled whore is okay. Then these people want to play the Charles Barkley card and say "I am not a rolemodel" the only thing is Barkley was a real athlete, and Gomez is a young girl in a spotlight. Her job as an entertainer is to be a role model. She is not the next Britney, she's just another Paris or Lindsey.

What is it?
ECONMED is an electronic bilingual (ESP/ENG) listserv managed and moderated by the Medicines and Technology Unit (MT) within the Area of Health Systems Based on Primary Care (HSS). It constitutes yet another effort by MT, and by extension the Organization, to simultaneously contribute to the visibility of those factors currently shaping the main challenges to guarantee universal access to medical products and keep on feeding the information flow and exchange among member States and other relevant actors.
In its one-year existence ECONMED has revealed itself as a cost-effective tool for, among other functions, keeping the institutional bond between face-to-face meetings (and follow up on them) and reporting to the Member States on the progress of certain projects (regional bank of prices) and given activities (impact assessment of CAFTA DOR agreement within the implementation of the Global Strategy and Plan of Action on Public Health, Innovation, and Intellectual Property (GSPA) in the Americas, through the Regional Perspective.
Why was it created?
Setting up and in motion ECONMED was one of the demands among the conclusions of the First International Seminar on Economic Regulation of the Drug jointly organized between PAHO and Brazil's National Agency for Health Surveillance (ANVISA).
ECONMED's creation lays upon the need for countering one of the main features (and difficulties for public health authorities) of pharmaceutical markets both at the sub regional and regional levels: the acute deficit of reliable and impartial information of good quality on prices of medical products and other essential factors for the planning, designing and execution of efficient and effective pharmaceutical policies.
Who can participate?
ECONMED is, for the time being, a tool reserved exclusively for public officials from the health sector (ministries, research centers, associated institutions, etc…) although the participation of other actors is encouraged: institutes of intellectual property, specialized agencies, etc...
At the moment (May 2010) nearly 170 individuals from Regulatory Authorities, Ministries of Health and other institutions participate in ECONMED distributed among 28 countries. It is sought, both in the composition of the list and in the distribution of materials that the diversity of our America is being adequately represented.
Objectives ECONMED is currently trying to build up opportunities for the dialogue and create spaces for the exchange of information and best practices between national actors both at the regional and sub regional scale. It is intended to facilitate the conditions to promote the sharing of experiences and disseminations of materials centered on the economic and legal regulation of medical products and the overall health situation of the region.In the mid-term ECONMED seeks to contribute towards the creation of collaborative networks in the region while supporting the effort of the Regional Platform on Innovation, Access, and Pharmaceutical Policies as well as the consolidation of the Regional Bank of Prices. It is, in short, an integrating element of efforts and processes.
ECONMED does not exist without the people (and associated institutions) that compose it and actively participate in the transmission and exchange of t information. Active involvement of all ECONMED participants is critical for an optimal use of the list in order to achieve the ultimate goal of such an instrument: going beyond the current unilateral distribution of information, basis for the access to knowledge gap hurting our region.
With flexible periodicity ECONMED expresses itself mainly through four elements, with only one of them of exclusive access for registered members:
Papers and academic contributions published in specialized and peer-reviewed journals on subjects of interest for the region and related to ECONMED's raison d'être produced by individuals (academics or health professionals) of the Americas.

Review :
Upon Reflection – Simply Brilliant
It was 2006 when director Mike Flanagan first caught our attention. We obtained a copy of his short, Oculus: Chapter 3 and were one of the first internet reviews of the short (a favourable review in case you were wondering). We kept our eye on Flanagan through the years through his follow up projects, Makebelieve (2000), Still Life (2001) and Ghosts of Hamilton Street (2003). But it was Flanagan's 2011 film, Absentia, that really put the budding director in the limelight.
Absentia was a small yet ambitious project that did its best on the festival circuit before getting some attention on VOD and DVD and was Killer Reviews' pick as the best horror film of 2011. Flanagan is back behind the camera with Oculus, a picture that was picked as one of the Elite 10 of the Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness Series.
Oculus tells the story of Tim and Kaylie Russell (Brenton Thwaites, Karen Gillan). Tim has recently been released from a mental institution where he spent most of his younger years after he and his sister witnessed a deadly family tragedy that left Tim's psyche in a state of fragility. Only hours removed from the hospital, Kaylie convinces Tim that a mirror procured and displayed at the Russell household was the cause of their violent childhood. Kaylie is convinced that the mirror has a 300-year history of death and destruction and she solicits Tim's help in an attempt to confront and destroy the evil that possesses the antique mirror.
Kaylie and Tim's attempts to find answers and draw out the evil lead to violent hallucinations and flashbacks that both siblings in danger and challenge the sanity of the recuperating Tim. As their night alone with the mirror draws long, Kaylie and Tim soon learn that the mirror is still the dominant force and their attempts at closure soon become a race for survival.
If Absentia was Flanagan's Star Wars, then Oculus is his Empire Strikes Back. A better more polished film, Oculus was as eerie and involving as it was particularly complex in its non-linear storytelling. Much like Absentia, Oculus is intelligent in its unravelling and doesn't cater to the microwave generation's want for a high body count while still delivering the goods.
The acting was stellar with familiar faces Rory Cochrane (CSI: Miami) and Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) complementing the adult Gillan and Thwaites). But is was the performance of the younger Kalie (Annalise Basso) that steals the movie with a virtuoso performance that demonstrates the young actor's range.
Horror fans that have longed for a good and clever thriller involving ghosts and the paranormal will have their thirst quenched with the smoothness of a 12-year-old Scotch. Oculus is everything we could have hoped for from the no-longer-unknown Flanagan.
It is a superior thrill ride that will challenge audiences to keep up with the fast moving plot developments while delivering upon an onion layered type screenplay that will keep your guessing not only in what happens next, but if what is happening is even real.
Bravo! www.killerreviews.com

hi there
I'm here because my girlfriend and I have a fairly big decision to make. I'm in highschool and have pretty much been out in my school environment (as bi, although I lean more towards gay in private settings) for a year now. My parents are also aware of this and my girlfriend and are fairly supportive.
However, my girlfriend is in a bit of a different situation. She's younger than me, and she is only really out to her close friends, so very few people at school. She isn't out to her mom, and isn't sure her mom will be as accepting as my parents were.
On one hand, we think that it's time we stopped lying to her mom about the real nature of our relationship. We also think it might become easier to be a little more out at school if her mom knows. This is something we occasionally butt heads about (me being more out than her) and I think it would be much more beneficial for us as a couple to be out to her mom and not have to have conflict over this issue anymore.
On the other hand, it is quite probable her mom could make our relationship a lot more difficult if she finds out. She has 'boyfriend rules' that we have already broken...and I'm a little worried she will direct a lot of her shock and anger at me.
I was wondering what anyone's thoughts were on this situation. Does she come out to her mom and say I'm her girlfriend? Just come out? Or do nothing at all.
I am not really sure where to go from here.
Coming out is the main bit. The relationship part isn't as big a concern, since it is connected to how her mom reacts to the gay news. If the gay stuff goes down OK, and she likes you, she might be happy her daughter is already happy. If it doesn't go well, then what did you do to make her daughter think she's gay...
So, either way, the coming out is the main bit here.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
My gut tells me that maintaining a good all around relationship IS the main objective!!!
Why is there the assumption that she did anything (untoward implied?) to make her gf think she's gay?
Given your reply, I'm guessing you read my bit incorrectly.
The relationship not being the important bit is just saying if your mom doesn't know you're gay, then telling her you're in a gay relationship isn't step one (aka unimportant), but that you're gay is.
Same thing when people want to tell their straight crush they're gay AND in love with them. Two steps. Not the same time. The sexuality is always the initial standalone bit. Then, ladle on whatever else later, or not, depending how the coming out goes.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
I agree with Jeff. :P
Have your girlfriend come out first.
If her mom reacts well to that then a little later on you can tell her about the relationship.
i agree
Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
well i think that she should take it slow for a while, dropping subtle hints, and acting gay around her mom, such as saying the female actress on the tv is hot or something of that nature, you start coming around more often.. pretty soon her mom will get suspicious. thats when she should sit her mom down and have coffee or breakfast with her and tell her slowly.. your relationship should have nothing to do with this because a woman can only handle so much about her teenage daughters sex life.. after that take it as slow as possiable, after all she could possiably end your relationship!
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
You stated that "you"are in High school and that she is younger! How much younger? Is she in High school also? or still in secondary or Jr High? Jeff made a good suggestion to you and If I can add to it, I would say this.
Hinting around the subject is a good way to find out how the mother and father feel about GLBT people in general. Leave a book laying on the table on the subject. Contact the local PFLAG group and get support there. Be prepared for the worse as it can back fire. Plan where she will stay should she be thrown out in the worst case scenario. Such as a Aunt or Cousin or friend or even your place. Talk to your parents first before any talk with her parents as they too could help buffer things for them. Good luck in any case. OFB
Genius is not a sign of intelligence, but rather
that of common sense. Humor is the best pain pill.
I agree with what Jeff said earlier. Coming out is the main concern, and if she's not sure how her mother might react, she might want to take it one step at a time. Firstly, she should tell her mother that she is gay. If her mother reacts to the news well, then maybe she should tell her mom about her relationship with you. If her mother doesn't react well to the fact that she's gay, then she might want to wait to tell her about your relationship.

Where is a good place to get the A/C recharged in my car? With the heat index hanging around 100 degrees each day it would be nice to have the A/C ice cold!
Thanks Shawn
Recharging your AC yourself is pretty easy if you buy a gauge with a can or two of 134a, depending on how low it is. I'd first make sure the problem is that you are low on refrigerant and not the condenser or compressor or clutch or hoses or a few dozen other things, if it's not blowing cold air. If too much is added, it'll blow. And not in a good, cold way. Wal-Mart sells what you need, and a 'kit' will have the instructions, or if you feel like making a day trip, AutoZone or Advance Auto in Savannah/Beaufort. NAPA over on 46 should have the stuff, too. I've seen the employees out in the parking lot of Advance recharging people's AC's for them, so that might be something to consider if you don't want to do it yourself, and don't want to find a shop, make an appt, & pay $ to have it done. But it's totally a DIY job if you're so inclined.
My husband bought a kit at Wal-Mart for about $15 to $20. It comes with a can of refrigerant, a connector tube and a guage. It worked great and we didn't have to shell out hundreds of dollars.
Shawn Pokorny
Well I took your advice and went to Walmart and bought a guage and a few cans of r134a and did it myself!
Best 20 bucks I have spent in a long time. Thanks for the advice

Brady Absent from Patriots for Birth of Son
Quarterback Tom Brady missed the New England Patriots' practice Wednesday to fly to Los Angeles for the birth of his first child.
Brady's former girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, gave birth to a boy. Moynahan and the baby were said by Moynahan's publicist to be doing fine.
It's unclear when Brady will rejoin the Patriots, who play an exhibition game Friday at Carolina. Brady reportedly flew to the West coast on the private jet of Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Pedro will make belated postseason debut in Game 2
Posted By Troy E. Renck On October 15, 2009 @ 3:57 pm In 2009 Playoffs,Rockies on Deck | No Comments
LOS ANGELES — Pedro Martinez will finally go from great theatre to a pitcher. The Phillies' veteran will start Friday in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Martinez was scheduled to pitch Game 3 against the Rockies, but was bumped in favor of J.A. Happ when the cold weather postponed the game.
The Phillies will start Cole Hamels today, followed by Martinez and Cliff Lee, the Rockies' killer, in Game 3 in Philadelphia.
"Pedro looked good in a simulated game. He knows how to pitch. He's throwing harder. We are looking for him to give us 75 to 95 pitches. That could get us into the sixth or seventh inning," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "This is where it started for him (as a Dodger). He loves the moment."

Experts offer expectant moms tips for safe summer traveling
POSTED: Saturday, June 23, 2012 - 6:00pm
UPDATED: Saturday, June 23, 2012 - 6:04pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Summer vacations are great for unwinding, unless you're "traveling for two".
There are a few things you need to know if you're going on vacation while pregnant this summer.
Jeanenne Tornatore, Senior Editor for Orbitz.com, says that before you book anything make sure you can actually get there.
"Some airlines allow women to travel up to 36 weeks, but it's important to check on your airline's website to see if they do have any specific restrictions," she advises.
Cruises can be much more strict.
Some cruise lines only allow pregnant women on board up until week 24 to 26 of pregnancy, and you often have to get a doctor's note proving you're healthy enough to travel.
As far as airport security body scanners go, the TSA website says they're safe for pregnant women, but if you're uncomfortable with them you don't have to use them.
You can choose a pat-down instead.
A few other of Jeanenne's tips:
- Get an aisle seat when flying. It's easier to get up and stretch your legs, and you know you'll probably need several trips to the lavatory.
- Consider a seat over the wing in the middle of the airplane. It's often the smoothest ride.
- Take help when offered.
"As a pregnant woman myself, I certainly have seen that people are more than willing to help with your bags, lifting them up into the overhead bins," she says.
You may also want to check out where the medical facilities are at your destination and take copies of your pregnancy records with you, especially if you're in your third trimester.

The Listening Process
Guidelines for Submission - Practical
Submissions may be made in any major language of the Anglican Communion.
A synopsis of no more than 300 words is required.
The Variety of Submissions
Submissions may be academic articles, poems, video clips, audio recordings, statements, testimony, book reviews, liturgical materials, Bible studies, pictures or any other material which seems significant to the contributor.
Submissions may focus on one section or may cover more than one section.
For example: and article entitled "Marriage in the Tradition of the Church" would be aimed at Section 3. However, a submission such as "Marriage in the Tradition of the Church and in the culture of West Africa" would be very welcome and might equally fit in both Section 3 and Section 5.
Academic Articles
Articles for publication on the CD should be no longer than 3,000 words in length. A series of articles from the same source is welcomed. Shorter more precise articles are more likely to be accessed and utilised than longer ones. There is no intention to translate the submitted articles into other languages of the communion (as opposed to the Study Guide) and so care should be taken to use plain English, readable for those to whom English is a second language.
Previously Published Material
Previously Published material is welcome for submission. For copy right reasons any such material must be clearly marked and permission for publication obtained and forwarded to us. The author of the material has responsibility for obtaining the permission to publish on the CD. The form is on [WebPage]
Form of Submission
Submissions should be sent by email to
with 'Submission for Resources' on the subject line.
Submissions will preferably be in Microsoft Word or readable by Microsoft Word. Submissions on paper text will be accepted, especially from parts of the world where access to computers is limited.
Pictures and video clips etc. will require other forms.
Please label clearly which section or sections you are submitting to. Clarity and brevity will be taken as significant virtues for publication.
Information Required
For a submission from a group or diocese:
We need the name of the group, a contact name for the submission (including title and position in the group), a physical address (including country) and any website and phone number.
For an individual submission:
We need: A contact name, title, a physical address (including country) and phone number. If the person holds a position in the church, lay or ordained we would value that information. For lay people or ministers in secular employment we would value your job title.
Anonymity and Submission
We are dedicated to making safe space. For this, the facilitator offers anonymity to those who wish it. However, the Facilitator will need all the above information for publication. Anonymity can be of name alone or can include role in the church, job title and nationality.
Criteria for Publication
The decision to publish will be solely in the hands of the Facilitator, who will be advised by the editors.
Submission is not a guarantee of publication
Where several submissions have effectively covered the same ground from the same cultural context it will be necessary to choose those which reflect best a point of view or a life experience.
In line with the commitment of the bishops in Resolution I.10 of the 1998 Lambeth conference to "listen to the experience of homosexual persons", priority will be given to hearing that experience.

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
In everyday English, the word acceleration is often used to describe a state of increasing speed. For many Americans, their only experience with acceleration comes from car ads. When a commercial shouts "zero to sixty in six point seven seconds" what they're saying here is that this particular car takes 6.7 s to reach a speed of 60 mph starting from a complete stop. This example illustrates acceleration as it is commonly understood, but acceleration in physics is much more than just increasing speed.
Any change in the velocity of an object results in an acceleration: increasing speed (what people usually mean when they say acceleration), decreasing speed (also called deceleration or retardation), or changing direction. Yes, that's right, a change in the direction of motion results in an acceleration even if the moving object neither sped up nor slowed down. That's because acceleration depends on the change in velocity and velocity is a vector quantity — one with both magnitude and direction. Thus, a falling apple accelerates, a car stopping at a traffic light accelerates, and an orbiting planet accelerates. Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.
Much like velocity, there are two kinds of acceleration: average and instantaneous. Average acceleration is determined over a "long" time interval. The word long in this context means finite — something with a beginning and an end. The velocity at the beginning of this interval is called the initial velocity, represented by the symbol v0 (vee nought), and the velocity at the end is called the final velocity, represented by the symbol v (vee). Average acceleration is a quantity calculated from two velocity measurements.
In contrast, instantaneous acceleration is measured over a "short" time interval. The word short in this context means infinitely small or infinitesimal — having no duration or extent whatsoever. It's a mathematical ideal that can can only be realized as a limit. The limit of a rate as the denominator approaches zero is called a derivative. Instantaneous acceleration is then the limit of average acceleration as the time interval approaches zero — or alternatively, acceleration is the derivative of velocity.
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with time, but velocity is itself the derivative of displacement with time. The derivative is a mathematical operation that can be applied multiple times to a pair of changing quantities. Doing it once gives you a first derivative. Doing it twice (the derivative of a derivative) gives you a second derivative. That makes acceleration the first derivative of velocity with time and the second derivative of displacement with time.
a = | dv | = | d | dr | = | d2r | |
dt | dt | dt | dt2 |
A word about notation. In formal mathematical writing, vectors are written in boldface. Scalars and the magnitudes of vectors are written in italics. Numbers, measurements, and units are written in roman (not italic, not bold, not oblique — ordinary text). For example…
a = 9.8 m/s2, θ = −90° | or | a = 9.8 m/s2 at −90° |
(Design note: I think Greek letters don't look good on the screen when italicized so I have decided to ignore this rule for Greek letters until good looking Unicode fonts are the norm on the web.)
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.
⎡ ⎣ |
m | = | m/s | = | m | 1 | ⎤ ⎦ |
s2 | s | s | s |
Another frequently used unit is the acceleration due to gravity — g. Since we are all familiar with the effects of gravity on ourselves and the objects around us it makes for a convenient standard for comparing accelerations. Everything feels normal at 1 g, twice as heavy at 2 g, and weightless at 0 g. This unit has a precisely defined value of 9.80665 m/s2, but for everyday use 9.8 m/s2 is sufficient, and 10 m/s2 is convenient for quick estimates.
The unit called acceleration due to gravity (represented by a roman g) is not the same as the natural phenomena called acceleration due to gravity (represented by an italic g). The former has a defined value whereas the latter has to be measured. (More on this later.)
Although the term "g force" is often used, the g is a measure of acceleration, not force. (More on forces later.) Of particular concern to humans are the physiological effects of acceleration. To put things in perspective, all values are stated in g.
Here are some sample accelerations to end this section.

I barely use it nowadays! I bought the normal beige one since I don't need coverage but I find it a bit on the dry side. Nonetheless, application with palm is a breeze :)And the beauty blender! I should just stay happy with all my brushes!
- May 17, 2011 at 9:34 AM
I need to get the beauty blender! Sometimes my foundation goes on too thick, ick =[Love how you lined your eyes, it's very precise and neat ^^
- May 17, 2011 at 1:24 PM
poseylass: I have the normal one in Pink and find that it applies easier than BB Beige. The consistency of the regular bases are slightly different. They are all a wee bit drying so I always slap on more moisturiser before using them.Blair: Thanks for the compliment. I am so bad at applying eyeliners it's no joke. But the MAC brush makes it a lot easier. The beauty blender is really fantastic! I've tried "bouncing" a regular makeup sponge but the effect is not the same.
- May 20, 2011 at 3:37 AM
It looks beautiful on you, the eyeliner and the mousse!
- May 20, 2011 at 7:30 AM
Rainy Days: Thank you, sweetie! I think my camera flash helps "diffuse" my skin as well but the BB Beige is not too bad. I'm glad I don't have to give it away

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps famers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

Some people are thrilled to meet rock stars or celebrities. I, on the other hand, get really excited about meeting grape growers.
Pakistan: Nothing more precious than a buffalo
Small farmers all over Sindh province were hit hard by this past summer's catastrophic flooding. Most of these farmers are very poor, living on less than $2 a day.

Timor-Leste: Small disasters with no voice are important too
In Timor-Leste (East Timor), this year's weather has caused more serious problems than ever encountered in living memory and beyond. The dry season was meant to start last March.
Indonesia: Chocolate starts out tasting like vanilla yoghurt — who knew?
Whenever I travel, I'm always sure to pack an emergency supply of chocolate. But until yesterday, when I saw cacao trees for the first time and talked to cacao famers in Indonesia about the help they are getting from Mercy Corps, I'd never really thought about where it comes from.
Ethiopia: A view of water poverty
Kyrgyzstan: The absence of a smile ≠ the absence of warmth
As Kyrgyzstan's October 10 elections approach, I think about my friends and colleagues over there and hope for their safety. Without a doubt, Kyrgyzstan and its people made an imprint on me, and taught me to challenge my assumptions.
Afghanistan: Afghan farmers get noticed by NY Times
I'm a big consumer of news, and sometimes I get tired of reading about the same old cadre of high-profile folks: politicians, celebrities, big business types — the "news makers." It's rare to hear about how current events impact normal people; even rarer to hear about the impoverished and voicele

Providing the winning design for the Parc des Expositions (PEX) in the innovation zone of Toulouse, in southern France, OMA conceived PEX to be a new gateway to the city hosting exhibitions, conferences, and concerts. The 338,000 sqm project is designed to be a compact mini-city – an antidote to the sprawl of a standard exposition park, and a means to preserve the surrounding French countryside.
Surpassing three submissions by internationally-renowned competitors, the project, led by OMA's director of French projects Clément Blanchet, will be completed by 2016. Blanchet commented: "This project is not only about architecture, but rather infrastructure. It's a condenser for diversity, a machine that can promote an infinite amount of possibilities."

Rock Revival Kai Boot Stretch Jean 2 2
First Love These were my first ever pair of Rocks, and they're one of my favorite jeans. I bought these in a 27, and they hardly stretch after wearing. It takes about 4 or 5 wears for them to stretch, and they really don't stretch all that much. I love the sparkly pockets, and the jewel buttons on the pockets don't scratch after wearing/sitting. Highly recommended!!!! February 7, 2014
Great buy! The Kai line of Rocs are the best buy because they NEVER sag/relax after wear. My first pair of Rocs that I ever purchased were Kai and that's what made me fall for this brand. The details, color, fabric are all top-notch. I highly recommend these to EVERYONE! October 25, 2013

Who we are
As you walk onto our campus, you will discover a warm and loving school where children and adults are honored for who they are. We are a special place that not only challenges, but appreciates children and their diverse talents. As an independent, non-profit school founded over 50 years ago, we are accredited by the prestigious California Association of Independent Schools and are lauded for our differentiated instruction and our award-winning Character Qualities programs. Peninsula Heritage is actually two schools in one; we combine academics with the full range of the visual and performing arts. We are truly "Celebrating Childhood through Academics and the Arts."
Where we are
Peninsula Heritage School is nestled on a spacious three acre campus in the horse-country area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Cooled by breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean, our California ranch-style buildings provide an idyllic setting for children to enjoy a safe, challenging, individually-centered learning community that helps create a memorable childhood. The caring and dedication of our faculty and staff and the park-like atmosphere of our campus all make Peninsula Heritage a unique place to learn and grow.
What we are proud of
Our Differentiated Instruction –teaching tailored to the needs and learning styles of our students – is a hallmark of our school. We accomplish differentiated instruction in several ways. Our Enrichment Program enables students to be working at one or even two grades ahead in mathematics and English language arts while still benefitting from the socialization of their same-aged peers in all other subject areas. In addition, each classroom has a Head Teacher plus teacher support personnel, so the student-teacher ratio is ideal for individualized instruction. Lastly, we offer specialization classes for children who are in need of instructional adaptation.
Our award-winning Character Qualities program has been in existence since the founding of our school over fifty years ago, and it is taught and reinforced through writing, singing, dancing, and fine arts opportunities. Our School's six character qualities enable our students to become future leaders not only in intellectual prowess but with profound moral and ethical values.
For the second time, Peninsula Heritage School has been voted and the "Best Private School" for 2014 in the Easy Reader newspaper's "Best of the Beach" contest. Considering all of the independent schools in the Beach Cities and on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, this is quite an honor!
Our Accreditation
In June of 2013, Peninsula Heritage School received a full, six-year accreditation from the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), the premier private school association in California. Following are the major commendations from the CAIS Visiting Committee that spent four days on our campus in March of 2013.
The CAIS Visiting Committee Commends:
The [Peninsula Heritage School] Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, staff, parents and children for their passionate commitment to the school's mission that is lived throughout the school's curriculum and community.
The Head of School for her extraordinary and inspirational leadership of Peninsula Heritage School and for working effectively with all school constituencies.
The administration and faculty for establishing a caring, diverse community of learners.
The administration, faculty and staff for fostering a loving environment that supports character development and academic success for all students.
The students for their joyful love of learning, remarkable respect and compassion for others, their desire to serve, and their appreciation of their school and the world around them.
The Head of School, Director of Advancement, Director of Admissions and the Board's Marketing Committee for the breadth and depth of their efforts to involve and inform all internal and external communities, via such initiatives as the Head of School Blog, about the programs and values of Peninsula Heritage School.
The administration, faculty, staff and students for creating a school that fosters a strong tradition of academic excellence along with an individual character development program that is integrated into the performance program.
