Look inside your beauty cabinet, and what do you see? A neat assortment of everyday essentials or a crammed cache of specialty serums, creams and lotions you don't remember buying or why? When it comes to skincare, many women tend to overthink things. A handful of well-chosen products can do significantly more good than a laundry list of individual "problem solvers." The key is finding the right products for the job and realizing that, oftentimes, less really is more.
Keep It Simple
Unless you're one of the lucky few blessed with naturally flawless skin, you've got a concern or two. Maybe it's dry skin, dark spots or the occasional (or frequent) breakout. Before you reach for that new "miracle" cream or serum, take a moment to consider the problem's cause. Often problem skin results from inadequate moisture, irritating ingredients and poor lifestyle choices. A simple adjustment to your existing regimen can put you back on the path to perfection (without any unnecessary pit stops).
Mother Nature Knows Best
Today's natural and nature-based products aren't the feel-good-but-do-nothing products of yore. Thanks to advances in cosmetic science, many products contain highly concentrated natural actives that are more effective than their artificial counterparts. That's largely because the skin responds better to natural ingredients and with less likelihood of adverse reactions. So next time you're browsing, be sure to check out the ingredient list and check off products loaded with artificial dyes, fragrances and fillers, like talc and petroleum-based oils.
Multitasking: Skincare's Magic Word
"Multitasking" isn't just another skincare buzzword. Many products today pack multiple benefits in one jar, tube or bottle. Exfoliating cleansers, for instance, do the work of two products, and many moisturizers double as anti-aging treatments. By eliminating redundant products, multitasking products simplify your regimen, saving you time and money.
Protect Yourself (Before You Wreck Yourself)
Remember the saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" Well, the same goes for skincare. Studies show that UV exposure is the leading cause of premature aging. By using products with an SPF of 15 or higher, you can help prevent earl signs of damage. And, when it comes to the skin, prevention is always easier than correction.

Our friend Mark Piggott from the public affairs office at the Naval Weapons Station in Yorktown, Va., not only helped organize one heck of an adventure race for a couple hundred soldiers, he followed it up by writing a doozy of a guest blog post for us. Here's Mark's report:Cold, rainy and muddy conditions would not deter the 54 teams competing in the Mid-Atlantic Region, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Department's 9th annual all-military Wilderness Challenge, Oct. 8-10.
More than 250 military personnel representing commands from all across the armed forces competed in five grueling extreme outdoor events in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains on the New and the Gauley Rivers in West Virginia.
The "Dale Milton Racing" team from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Camp Lejune, N.C., was 1st place winner for the Marine Corps and the 2009 Wilderness Challenge champions. According to Maj. Keith Parrella, the team captain, the challenge plays on the real-life teamwork that Marines and other military service members rely on.
"What we do day-to-day is a lot about teamwork and this (Wilderness Challenge) is all about teamwork," Parrella explained. "That's what we do everyday in real life. You've got to work as a team. You're only as fast as your slowest person."
"It plays to the strengths that the military builds on in each of the individual services," Lt. Cmdr. Joshua Lafferty, Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, Norfolk, Va., added. Lafferty is team captain for "Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead" team, which took 1st place for the U.S. Navy and 3rd place overall in the Wilderness Challenge. "That helps bond us together as a military force, bringing what they got to do the best."
The challenge contains a series of five outdoor adventure races in a team format designed to bring camaraderie, competition and team spirit between all five branches of the Armed Services. Teams participating in this year's challenge competed in an 8K mountain run, a 10-mile mountain bike race, a 15-mile forced hike through the mountains, a 13-mile whitewater raft race on the Gauley River and a 7-mile kayak race on the New River … a total of 50 miles covered during two days of competition.
"The MWR Wilderness Challenge continues to bring together the best athletes in the armed forces and puts them to the test," said Michael Bond, MWR Director, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and event coordinator. "The competition gets tougher and tougher every year."
For some competitors, the Wilderness Challenge was a homecoming of sorts. U.S. Army PFC's Joseph Perry and Matthew Browning of "Team Cobra" from the 109th Quartermaster Company, Fort Lee, Va., competed in the challenge for a chance to come home. Perry is from Grafton, W.Va., and Browning from Pineville, W.Va.
"It's great being back in the mountains," Perry said. "I want to do well, represent the Army and the state of West Virginia."
The Wilderness Challenge seems to bring out the best in all of its competitors. They train hard for more than a year in preparation for these events and nothing will stop them from finishing the challenge, including a broken arm. Such was the case for U.S. Air Force Capt. George Van Osterom of Team "Terrible Tigers" from the 7th Intelligence Squadron, Fort Meade, Md., who broke his arm at the start of Day 2 during the 8-mile mountain bike run.
"At some point, I hit a rock on the trail and the next thing I knew I was on the ground, probably still pedaling my bike," Van Osterom said, holding up his splinted arm. "My arm came down on the corner of a rock, so I knew it was gonna be a doozy."
"I had gone this far and, you know, that's kind of the spirit of the whole thing," he continued. "You push yourself further than you would normally push yourself, I just had to keep going and finish up strong."
In an ironic twist of fate, Van Osterom was only participating in the challenge as an alternate because one of the original team members broke his arm while training for the mountain bike race. That's what makes the Wilderness Challenge unique among military competitions-it's ability to take something fun and turn it into a challenge.
"All of the teams that are here are pretty tough," said U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Dan Deptula. Deptula is the Commanding Officer, Maritime Safety and Security Team Boston, Mass., and team leader for "Ducky Fuzz and the Masters of Rubber," 1st place for the U.S. Coast Guard and 2nd place overall in the 2009 Wilderness Challenge. "From the moment you get here, it's 'game on' so you keep going and hope you've got enough in the tank to make it all the way to the end."
For some teams, the Wilderness Challenge is not just about the spirit of the competition and camaraderie between the armed forces. It's being able to say "I finished the Wilderness Challenge" by proudly displaying the challenge coin given only to service members who finish all five events.

Most adorable proposal ever
A Michigan man recently proposed to his girlfriend of two years, but he had one more big proposal to make − to his fiancee's daughter.
Soon after putting a ring on his girlfriend's finger, Jeff Andres turned his attention to her six-year-old daughter, Ally. The couple took the little girl to a nearby holiday store to meet Santa. While she sat on Santa's knee, Jeff got down on one of his and asked, "Ally, will you be my stepdaughter?"
She was shocked, especially when Jeff presented her with a diamond ring of her own. She excitedly said yes, some happy tears were shed, and Ally is going to have a Christmas to remember for the rest of her life. (NY Daily News)

Having a Directory On Your Site: Good Or Bad?
Msg#: 4180750 posted
7:33 pm on Aug 2, 2010
(gmt 0)
Hi there, Everyone:
Is it still worthwhile to have a relevant directory of other sites on your site to boost SEO? And if so, is there anything to watch out for?
I have an ecommerce web site, as well as about 40 articles and information pages on the site. I would like to have a directory that does actually add value to the user.
Our main site covers a few different areas, (say, not only widgets, but foobars and gizmos and thingamajigs as well). So some of the directory categories would be: Widget Studios By City / State, Foobar Centers by City / State, Gizmo Retreats, Sites Related To Thingamajigs, etc).
It would include the essential URL and physical address for the sites listed, a brief description (about 750 characters) and also allow for users to rate / post comments.
Would this be something that would actually add value in google's eyes? Or have directories gone the way of the Do Do Bird?
Also, I would have the links to the other sites as follow (not nofollow). Is that going to be a problem?
Thanks in advance.

Keep it small and focused. The worst thing is these very general, empty directories that are no use to anyone. Start with the most specific niche, and expand outwards as necessary. It's really easy to underestimate how much work is involved, and end up with loads of gaps.

It's really easy to underestimate how much work is involved, and end up with loads of gaps.
This depends on the scope of your goals. If your goal is to make a "directory of everything" this is obviously an unachievable goal.
However, if you start with something like a town or city directory, it is very easy to get some useful categories up and running on the site within a few days or less. The same thing would apple to creating a niche directory.
If you are going to attempt to allow the submission of just about any link, you need to contemplate how you can introduce some limiting factors. Here are a couple of examples:
1. Increase the amount of work required to submit a listing, so that each and every listing will be created by someone who put a lot of thought behind the listing. Just getting the title, description and url is insuffient!
2. Create a system or triage that only promotes the best content to the top (ex. digg). For example, maybe the content will not be indexable by google until certain criteria are met (votes, comments, other popularity or quality measures).

So the categories would be based on who NEEDS what, not who IS what?
Link partner categories should mirror the types of sites you want to get links from. Sometimes you have to reverse engineer and ask yourself "who is my target market and where do they hang out on the web?"
For example, if the wedding photographer wants to link with other businesses in their local demographic, the photographer should have link categories that match those markets. If the wedding florist in the same city as the wedding photographer visits the photographer's website but does NOT see a wedding florists category, the florist is LESS LIKELY to request a link with the photographer. If the florist sees a link category that matches her business, not only is she MORE LIKELY to request a link with the photographer but she is also more likely to go ahead and link to the photographer's website because she realizes the photographer has a category for her and is likely to approve her link request.
The photographer now has a relevant one way link from a relevant business. The photographer can link back if he wants to. He doesnt have to.
There is psychology at play when it comes to all of this. If you create link categories that mirror the kinds of sites you want to get links from, you will get one way links from those markets. Many times someone who links to you first will leave the link up because they are hoping you will link back to them in the future.
Keep your link categorization relevant to your business. Here is an example list of link categories that the wedding photographer may want to use. This is just an sample list. Many times we will see a webmaster insert city name into the link categories to make them even more relevant and category specific.
Wedding Invitations and Printing
Wedding Travel Agents

Do not create a "miscellaneous" or "other" category as that only will generate irrelevant link requests from junk sites.
Hope this helps.

Link partner categories should mirror the types of sites you want to get links from.
thank you cnvi. That will be my philosophy.
My problem I think is the way that I may have done the structural design of the directory.
I only have five main categories, and would probably expand it only to about six or seven total main categories in the future.
But the structure is:
type -> country -> state (or province) -> city -> listing
So while that is fine for where I have states / or cities with lots of listings, for those states or cities that don't yet have any listings, google bot is indexing a page with minimal unique content on it.
So for Category 1, I have about 12 states with a handful of listings each, while the other 38 US states have minimal unique content yet.
Multiply that by the five main categories I have, and that means I currently have about 200 pages with minimal unique content on them.
So I will have to figure out what to do with those pages until I can get some good quality listings for them.
Thanks again.

@Planet13 - What we have been doing recently is only populating the database with locations for which links exist. To start with a huge city/state db with thousands of empty categories makes for a less user friendly site. But to build a region specific feature that is separate from the categories and always leads to pages with data makes a lot more sense.

I'm doing the same thing right now!
Does anyone have any evidence that having a niche directory like that on your website (that does attract plenty of inbound links (from sites other than those listed, of course))...does, or does not help with SE rankings?
I didn't really consider this. If Google understands it is a directory on your site that attracts the links, could they think "oh..the links are there because of a (useful) directory, not because the person has written great content herself..thus she's not an expert, thus we wont give it a ranking boost"?
Anyone got any evidence that it helps a site rank if a truly useful niche directory is on it?

@Makavelli2007 - I try to read carefully what people like Matt Cutts say about directories, and based on that I would make sure you have reviewed these points carefully:
1. You should be adding quality content too, not only depending on user submissions.
2. You should be making sure titles and descriptions are not spammy, but reflective of the site.
3. Having a review process means that you don't let any link into your site, and this includes people who pay you.
4. It is okay to charge for the review process (for your time reviewing sites), but you need to be very clear what you are charging for.
Additionally, I would add that directories can have all kinds of additional features from video to articles that make them special. It is your job to make the directory special. If you do a good enough job, you will attract some natural inlinks as well.
With regard to building a niche directory, I think you are right on track, because it limits the scope, and increases the potential for quality.

Thanks for your reply.
I wouldn't try to build a directory that doesnt add value to anyone. This directory (I'm selecting the links for it myself by doing deep research, rather than having people submit them) fills a true need in my niche, and there are people who should want to share this with their audience (as they have a problem this directory will solve).
In other words, Im not trying to build some random directory, but something that should lead to quality inbound links (if it doesn't, then I fail, but that's another issue ;-)).
I was simply wondering if...Google doesnt like directories for some reason - e.g. if you have a niche directory on your site vs. having a content (text) page on your site....and either one received the same number and quality of links.......Would Google allow the text content to help the overall site much more, than it allows the directory help the overall site?
In other words Im wondering if they might have some kind of filter.
I didnt really think so, but reading through this thread made me wonder just that, with I think 2 people stating, that you shouldn't call it a "directory" (b/c of the search engines).

If I interpret your question correctly, you are wanting to know if a particular script or software would lead to google treating the site differently. I would say the answer is most certainly "NO". There have been multiple occasions where people like Matt Cutts have expressed this. The only caveat would be if the software violates the google terms of service.
I would be wary of things like bidding directories that are created for the sole purpose of buying and selling pagerank, or any tools built for directories that would query the google servers in an unacceptable way (ex. trying to get the pagerank of 10,000 links updated).
It doesn't sound like you have any intentions like these, and I think there are a number of different script you could use that would be just fine.

it will probably be more of a carefully selected list, not a directory (thus no need for directory software, i think)..but you answered my questions, thx

Angry Birds HD Free is good, clean fun
Knock out little piggies with classic game app.
Your favorite time-wasting app is back, but this time in a free version. Angry Birds HD Free does include ads, but it comes with all the fun, familiar characters and gameplay that you've come to love.
Angry Birds HD Free offers 24 different levels and 8 mini episodes. You can jump right in by pressing Play. If you've been living under a rock and haven't played Angry Birds, a graphic shows you how to pull back on the slingshot and aim the bird to take out the green pigs. The first level was unlocked for us and we took aim and shot our wingless bird at the green pig in the structure -- easy enough, but each level does gradually become more challenging than the previous one, with more piggies and larger structures to knock down. There is a pause button that will let you restart a game and turn off the music, though we have to say that the hilarious bird and pig sounds are part of what makes the game so much fun. As we mentioned earlier, you will encounter a few ads, but they're pretty unobtrusive for a free app.
Angry Birds HD Free has all the fun of the paid version, so be prepared to lose valuable time to this app. We highly recommend it for all users.

Abbey Brewing Co. is Back (Again) And She's Better Than Ever
Categories: Booze Hound
The Abbey |
Saturday they opened their doors to reveal the new and improved interior. A bigger space, communal tables, and little "gnome" stools are new but the old pubby charm still lingers in the smokey air.
The beers were refurbished too, but don't worry! You'll still find award winning favorites like Father Theodore's Stout. Papa Ted will be in good company with bourbons and Scotches and a soon to come full liquor license.
"Free Hot Dog Sundays" may also be a new addition to the Abbey in the coming months -- we'll keep you updated when that happens (likely with live coverage because we strongly feel free brats are newsworthy).

Headquarters | Shoreditch, London, Great Britain |
Industry | Education |
Services | Language resources |
Website | http://www.linguascope.com |
Type of site | Language resource website |
Current status | Online |
Linguascope is a publisher of educational resources for Modern Foreign Language (MFL) teachers and learners of French, German, Spanish, Italian and English based in Shoreditch, London. It serves three different levels of working; Elementary, Beginner and Intermediate. Primarily marketed at schools, its key products include interactive resources for whiteboard teaching and a range of iOS apps for language learners.
Pre 2002[edit]
Linguascope began life in 1998 as a school webpage started by a language teacher, Stéphane Derône. Originally published as bonjour.org.uk and catering for French, the site was made available online for French teachers from other schools to use.
In 2002, Richard West-Soley, a teacher of German and Spanish and ActionScript developer, joined Mr. Derône in expanding the site to other languages. The sites hallo.org.uk and hola.org.uk were launched for these languages, followed by Italian and English versions shortly afterwards. These were intended for whiteboard teaching, which was beginning to become the norm in UK MFL classrooms around this time. Anna-Chiara Swaine then joined the team to provide more formal administration as the customer base grew, and Linguascope became a regular fixture at UK and international education shows.
2002 - 2008[edit]
As the sites developed, bonjour.org.uk and its sister sites were brought under the single Linguascope brand. Other content projects soon followed, including Linguamate, a Flash content creation tool. Ready-made content for other levels was also provided, with Linguastars for Key Stage 4/High School students and Linguaprime for Primary/Elementary schools. Eventually, the sections were renamed to become Elementary, Beginner and Intermediate sections of the different Linguascope language areas, as well as related tools and resources.
An offshoot of the Linguamate / Activity Builder site became the separate site Activiscope,[1] an online Flash / SCORM-compliant content creation tool.
2009 - 2010[edit]
Alongside its electronic resources, Linguascope began to produce and market a range of physical aids for classroom teachers, including posters, stationery and grammar aids such as the Verb Wheel.[2] In addition to these resources in 2009 Linguascope also acquired the kinaesthetic learning aid Talking Dice[3] and promoted them through their existing channels along with new redistribution partners in Europe, Australasia and North America.
In addition to this Linguascope also entered the apps market creating a series of applications[4] for the iPhone and iPod Touch. These applications offer a slimmed-down version of the Linguascope website, as well as an international news update service, available in the same languages as the website, a Verb Hub application, offering similar learning techniques as that of the Verb Wheel and a Word of the Day app, allowing users to build their vocabulary of five languages. A Talking Dice app was also launched allowing users to practice any language in similar fashion to the Talking Dice computer software.
In 2011, the company moved headquarters from Colchester to Shoreditch, London.
Linguascope is a member of the British Educational Suppliers Association[5] and a corporate member of the Association for Language Learning.[6]
Linguascope Conference[edit]
Linguascope held its first national conference for teachers in Brighton on the 25 and 26 June in 2010. Delegates were given presentations from MFL specialists including Helen Myers, José Picardo, Russell Stannard, Rachel Hawkes and Joe Dale. A dinner was also held for delegates with Stephen Clarke, the author of A Year in the Merde, attending as the guest speaker.[7] The 2011 edition of the Linguascope Conference was held again at the Thistle Hotel in Brighton on 1–2 July,[8] and featured John Moloney (comedian) as guest speaker.
Awards and nominations[edit]
In 2003, the bonjour.co.uk website was entered in the Cable & Wireless Childnet awards[9] and was given the Special Individual Award, for Mr. Derône's contribution to the MFL community .
During the Summer of 2010 the company was also nominated in two categories for the Education Investor Awards.[10]

Fullcount Workshirt
—01. Great natural colour for Fall.
—02. Chinstrap detail.
—03. Nice textures.
Earlier this year I remember getting excited for some fall shirting in fabrics like muslin and chamois, as a bit of a change from what was available last winter. This version of the always-classic work shirt isn't quite as uncommon as those in terms of fabric — it's just flannel. What I like though is that it's just a single colour instead of plaid, which is a departure from most other flannels. The nice organic cotton is a great off-white colour and it'd fit in nicely with the browns and earth tones I find myself wearing a lot of lately. It's still got those familiar outdoor references but isn't something you see everyday.

By Evelyn Block
I think young. I look old. A real disconnect. And I am not adapting well.
You can buy a pretty face again, your own but better looking, but you can't do anything about the crepe-y neck and the thin-skinned blue veined hands. No magic yet available for those. Some of us over 50 bash the people who get plastic surgery while clandestinely wishing we had the guts, money, pain threshold, honesty or whatever it takes to go do it ourselves. At thirty-three I was still proofed entering a bar. Now I can go almost anywhere and be totally invisible. Ma'am? I still look around when someone calls me that! And why do they always think I'm shopping for someone other than myself?
I really, really am thankful that I am healthy.
I recognize how lucky I am. I can be mature and appreciative. I would just like to do it in a younger body; a body that matches the place my head got stuck at.
I'm not being overly greedy here.
Once, when I was in my twenties, I sat in a room where we were all told to close our eyes and raise our hands if there was a part of our own bodies we disliked. I've always hated my thighs, so up went my hand. When I looked around, every hand in the room was up. I got it. I get it. I certainly wasn't perfect then and I'm not seeking perfection now. Just fewer wrinkles that make my mouth turn down and my kid ask, "Are you mad at me"?
Midriff length tops and ass bearing skinny jeans
We know boomer women have the most disposable income of any cohort. Logic says we could drop into a store and fit our expanded hips or wrinkled midriff or crepe-y shoulders into clothes that would drape beautifully and make us look attractive but no, what are the stores selling? Midriff length tops, ass bearing skinny jeans and don't even say the word "thong" in my presence, thank you. I tried on a pair of those two hundred dollar skinny jeans. The circumference of the thigh space fits my calf. And stops there, goes no further.
My head, you see, hasn't morphed sideways from the middle the way my middle has. And my head likes cool fashions. Designed for me, not a teenager.
My sister, at sixty-plus still admires herself in the mirror wearing a bikini.
I think I know her problem. Cataracts, How else to explain it? Yes, she still has a good shape, but really, old is old. What she doesn't yet know is that as soon as her eyesight is fully restored, she'll see what the rest of us have been looking at. She'll think all those wrinkles appeared overnight. We see them now. Not so pretty, get a one piece, girl.
Yes, in many ways I am more comfortable with myself than I was at 20, 30, 40, or even 50, but damn it, I want that face and body back!
I'm so vain, I bet you think this article's about me.
"Oh, god, she is so vain," is probably going through your mind right about now. Not so. Maybe so, I don't know. I think I'm expressing what a lot of us feel after 50 but we know is not politically correct.
And the brain inside the head, not exactly the same, either.
Whose kid hasn't turned to them and said, "Do you have Alzheimer's." or, as my son used to call it, "Old-timer's?" We forget. Get over it. Too much information to carry around when we're busy obsessing about looks, numbers, passwords, shopping lists, and more passwords. And thank you, but no; I don't want to play a Nintendo Wii game created by some teenybopper to exercise my brain. It is what it is.
Missing life already lived
I read a really great line recently. It said, "Homesickness is not missing home but missing life already lived." I think that may sum it up. I want to go home to my younger body. But, as Thomas Wolfe once said, "You can't go home again."

Determination of Weights for Health Related Quality of Life Indicators among Kidney Patients: A Fuzzy Decision Making Method

Get AccessAbstract
Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is one of the significant current discussions in the health fraternity. It encompasses multidimensional indicators and serves the purpose of evaluating health quality among patients. Patients' perceptions of the impact of disease and treatment and the indicators such as physical, psychological, social function and well being are normally investigated. However there is no clear suggestion of which indicators contributed more than others. The arbitrary nature of HRQoL paves the way for fuzzy theory in evaluation of indicators. This paper describes the application of a fuzzy decision making method in ranking indicators of HRQoL among kidney patients. Four experts in health fraternity were selected as decision makers to elicit information regarding health related status of chronic kidney disease patients over eight HRQoL indicators. The decision makers were required to rate the regularity of experiencing health-related problems in linguistic judgment among the patients. The five linguistics variables were used as input data to a modified version of Fuzzy Simple Additive Weight decision making model. The modified six-step method was possible to tap the extent of decision makers' opinions on the severity of HRQoL experienced by the patients. It is shown that the indicator of role-physical recorded the lowest problematic level while the indicator of mental health recorded the highest problematic level experienced by the patients. The ranking signifies the impact of the indicators to health quality specifically the chronic kidney disease patients.

A Typical Day at ILTC
Posted on 07/03/2014 @ 01:07 PM
Yesterday at ILTC, we started the day learning about ways to solve chapter problems in Limmud and Blueprint. I really like how we begin our day with Limmud because it provides a Jewish lens to the leadership skills we are learning in our Blueprint sessions. The discussions we had in our Blueprint helped me to learn accessible methods of solving problems that have occurred in my chapter back home. It has been extremely helpful learning how my peers have dealt with the same BBYO challenges I am encountering. Knowing I am not the only one facing challenges with my BBYO chapter and region is also comforting.
After lunch, we had our specialist sessions. I went to Shira where I participated in a song session with Eric Hunker and Happie Hoffman—the best song leaders around. From there I journeyed to my "How-To" session with the ILTC Teen Coordinators, Dan Widawsky and Sofie Jacobs. They offered an open question and answer session where I learned about their experiences in BBYO. It was interesting hearing about their summer programs, conventions, leadership experiences, Jewish identity building, and everything in between. After that session, we went to Big/Little Limmud—a program where we are partnered with someone who we didn't know before ILTC and practice the role of being a big brother/sister or a little brother/sister in an AZA/BBG chapter.
Every night, we wrap our busy day up with an inspiring evening program. Last night, we had an Engagement festival where we played the role of different Jewish community teens—BBYO prospective members, new members, Alephs/B'nai B'rith Girls, etc. Practicing the different roles prepared us to go back into our communities to begin a big recruitment push. The night concluded with an exciting, glow in the dark dance. ILTC just keeps getting better.

text: Hi All, I'm not sure if it is right forum to ask question about GNS service - if not sorry for spam. My question is: What is the difference between GNS in server and client mode. What I have already found gns in server mode is a database storing all name bindings and gns client forwards all gns action to gns server. I have made some tests and found that node running gns in client mode after process registration (name_attach()) creates directory \dev\name\global\process_name (process_name – attached name). Could anybody describe me the core difference because gns client and server? And why this directory is created which indicates that process was attached on this node? P.S. Does anyone have some materials about QNX 6 message passing and gns mechanisms – (architecture, fault tolerance mechanisms, etc.). I'm especially interested in consistency and replication mechanisms used during gns operations on multiple gns servers. Best Regards -- Mateusz Korszun

review by Peter J. Scaer
Many of my conservative friends, pastors who stand squarely within the Church's Great Tradition, no longer pay much attention to Biblical Scholarship. Some feel it is too esoteric. Others complain about its clinical, too technical nature. Still others feel as if they have been burned too often by its liberalism. As if the Jesus of scholarship is so far removed from the biblical Jesus as to be unrecognizable.
Rudolf Bultmann taught us that the real Jesus was irretrievably buried beneath layers of history, and that the Resurrection was an unknowable event. TheJesus Seminartook skepticism about our knowledge of Jesus to new heights (or depths), even as folks like Bart Ehrmann, who appears to take pleasure in enumerating perceived biblical errors, seem to get all the press.
Yet, perhaps, it's time for another look. This past decade has witnessed an insurgency. Some of biblical scholarship's most talked about books have been written by scholars who have largely supported, using the tools of their discipline, the accuracy of the Gospel accounts.

Goodland's javelin family

Jordan Teeter grew up in Lyons and likely would have played baseball with teammates who eventually won the 2004 Class 3A state tournament. When he was in sixth grade, Teeter and his family moved to Hays where his uncle, Kent, was the Hays High School football and track coach. Jordan's brothers competed in track, but Jordan didn't like running and decided to throw the javelin.
"Their family has always had good arms," Kent Teeter said.
Jordan eventually became the Indians' school record holder with a 207 feet, 8 inch throw, and twice finished third place at the national meet for Hutchinson Community College. When Jordan competed for Hays High, Kent's son, Trey, had a little turbo javelin and started to throw, too.
Five years ago, Kent Teeter took the football and track jobs at Goodland High School. He hired Mike Ruhs as his defensive coordinator. Mike's son, Dax, is two years older than Trey, but the two quickly became best friends.
"He is like a little brother to me," Ruhs said.
The family and friends connection has helped form one of the state's top-two javelin combinations with Ruhs, a senior and Fort Hays State University track signee, and Teeter, a sophomore.
Teeter's younger sister, a sixth-grader, also has started throwing the javelin.
"Trey has got a good arm," Coach Teeter said. "My wife has got a good arm. I don't have a good arm. I'm the oddball of the mix. ...It's been a neat family thing here in this generation. I am sure it will carry onto more generations, we hope."
Last year, Teeter and Ruhs finished eighth and ninth, respectively, in Class 4A.
This spring, Ruhs has a season-best throw of 183 feet, 1 inch and Teeter threw a season-high 176-1 to win the Goldsmith Relays at WaKeeney-Trego Community last Friday. Ruhs stands No. 12 in Kansas and Teeter is 21st for all classes, according to historian Carol Swenson.
Andale, with three top throwers above 176-2, is the lone school that can match Goodland's combination. Jordan Teeter lives in Sterling, but comes to watch Trey whenever he can, including at Goldsmith. Throughout the competition, Jordan passed along tips to Trey.
"It's fun to help Trey when I can," Jordan said. "It's fun to watch him throw. He was there when I was throwing."
Ruhs is calmer than Teeter, who is more energetic and talkative. Teeter and Ruhs have started at quarterback and running back the past two years and led Goodland to a playoff berth last fall, the third in four years.
"Dax has his moments," Coach Teeter said. "He is kind of squirrely sometimes, but Dax is kind of laid back, and he is really an older brother to Trey. It's been a good combination. He will put Trey in his spot, there is no doubt."
Both are similar sizes -- and shorter than most javelin throwers. Teeter is 5-10, 165 pounds, while Ruhs stands 5-foot-8, 160 pounds, but can clean 250 pounds, bench press 285 and squat 345-350.
He has triple jumped 42 feet and won the 100-meter dash at the Goldsmith Relays last week in WaKeeney. Asked how he throws so far, Ruhs mentioned speed down the runway. Teeter, standing a few feet away, smiled, reached out and touched Ruhs' bicep.
Two weeks ago, Ruhs signed with the Tigers to throw for coach Andreas Maheras, FHSU's acclaimed throwing coach.
"I really like what he is doing up there, and he seems like a really great guy, a great coach," Ruhs said. "So I wanted to go up there, and see if I could get any better."
After Goodland football games, people would come to the Teeter house for a get-together. Early on, Trey and Ruhs would play basketball outside or hang out in the basement during the get-togethers.
In football, Ruhs cleared 1,000 rushing yards as a junior and then led Goodland with 39 catches for 802 yards and 11 TDs for a 6-4 squad last fall. Trey Teeter threw for 957 yards and a 9/12 TD/INT ratio as a freshman and 1,981 yards with a 22/13 TD/INT ratio as a sophomore in the Cowboys' spread offense. Goodland enjoyed a three-win improvement last year.
"I am harder on him than anybody else, and most of the players would say that," Coach Teeter said. "But the good thing is, we can go home, talk about it, watch film, and so it's been a really neat thing."
Trey and Kent Teeter is one of the rare quarterback-coach combinations in Kansas, which had yielded some interesting moments for Trey.
"Most of the time, it goes really well," Trey said. "It's a little difficult for me to say, 'Hey Dad,' during practice or 'Hey, Coach Teeter,' so most of the time I try to get his attention by going 'Hey.'"
In track, Ruhs and Teeter have continually improved and pushed each other daily.
"I am always relaxed in practice," Ruhs said. "Trey is always wanting to compete."
"I've always got to be out in front," Trey added with a smile.
Ruhs set Goodland's freshman school record in the javelin and finished eighth in 3A as a sophomore with a 159-2 throw. Ruhs threw 162-10 last season at state, while Teeter went 165-5 at regionals and 164-8 at state.
Ruhs uncorked his career-best toss on his season-opening throw this year. Teeter was consistently around 162 feet before last Friday. Throughout the years, Trey likes to contact Jordan after meets.
"After every meet, Trey would say, 'Did you call Jordan?,' and if he throws well, (Trey says), 'Don't call him, I will call him,'" Coach Teeter said.
Last Friday, Jordan worked with Trey on making sure he was throwing high rather than down.
"He had the same problem I did," Jordan said. "We grew up playing baseball, and playing baseball, you drop your head, and you throw the ball at the catcher, and it's become a habit with him. I was able to overcome it about junior or senior year of high school, so I have been trying to help him with that."
Trey Teeter, who kept saying his mantra of a 180-foot throw throughout the competition, threw around 170 feet in warmups and then eventually won the meet over his teammate and Thomas More Prep-Marian's 6-foot, 190-pound Cameron Fouts, No. 13-ranked in Kansas.
"That's part of being short for both of us," Trey Teeter said.
"You see a lot of tall guys. They don't have to worry about their javelin hitting the ground or some things like that, so we really focus on keeping our eyes up, which allows you to use your back muscles a lot more."

Mobile Sensing to Suggest Customized Tours to Visitors in Museums
Sofia Ceppi
PhD Student
DEI - Seminar Room
November 19th, 2010
The scientific community showed a remarkable interest in the mobile sensor networks and in the application of this kind of networks to museums. In my work I use mobile sensor networks to improve the tour quality of a visitor of a museum. In particular, I provide an algorithm that calculate dynamically the best tour for a specific visitor on the basis of his the physical reactions induced by each artwork. I originally use mobile data collectors to acquire these reactions.

Although he enjoys being recognized, he is somewhat bemused by the attention. "In the grand scheme of things, I still feel like a fucking nobody," he says. Earlier that day, he ran into Chuck Eddy, a former music editor at The Village Voice, who praised Weingarten's tweets. Weingarten is an unabashed Eddy fan—"When the recent Pazz and Jop issue came out, his essay rose above anything in a way that made me worry about the younger generation. Will we ever be able to write that way?"—and he seemed pleased by the words of support. " 'It's good to be known for something,' he told me," Weingarten says.
We exit into streets choked with people working their way back to the main strip, grabbing food and making plans before the evening's shows begin. Eighty-eight official venues have shows scheduled that night, and the bills are laden with popular independent groups like She & Him, Dr. Dog, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, The XX, We Are Scientists, Broken Social Scene, and others. Outside The Music Gym, Weingarten leans against a wall and goes silent as he works to compose his thoughts about Shabazz Palaces' set. "I feel dumb sometimes," he says, "because it's supposed to be just 'Blah! Tweet!'" He ends up giving them 133 characters, and he makes all of them count: "#SXSW 39)SHABAZZ PALACES: Ex-Digable Planet does impossibly funky, dubby avant-rap with shakers, kalimbas, ideas without boundaries." Then, two minutes later, as if realizing that they could use the help, he tweets about them again: "#SXSW 39)SHABAZZ PALACES: Truly a unique and wonderful mix that deserves to be one of SXSW 2010's breakout stars. Get Googling!"
The Seattle crew passes by and waves farewell. Weingarten nods. "See you on the Internet!"

I'm a big fan of L'Oreal (it doesn't get much better than HIP JellyBalm or Skin Genesis Daily Moisturizer Oil-Free Lotion), but I've got something to say about their Bare Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner and it isn't pretty.
The preservative-free, fragrance-free lip soother is 96% natural and does a decent job of conditioning lips while adding a sheer tint to your pucker. But must it taste and smell like old-school Metamucil? For real, it tastes like some supplement that you'd buy at GNC.
Surely there's a way to add some fruit juices or bubblegum essence to this product without rendering it carcinogenic. Don't ask me how, I'm no scientist…just putting it out there. And it's $10! I don't know about you, but if I'm shelling out that much for .11 ounces of lip balm, I want some flava.
