All group interactions (GI) are a blend of two types. The difference between the two is the amount of interaction between the audience and the leader or facilitator of the GI. Thus, they influence differently. Understanding this becomes important as we leverage GI's to mold relationships and cultures.
At one extreme, little audience participation occurs. The leader alone presents. TED talks are popular examples. At the opposing extreme, the audience participates usually in the form of question and answers (Q&A), thus directing GI flow. Press conferences are public examples (although the leader often has ways to moderate questions). Thus, by mixing the two, any GI becomes a ratio between leader's presenting time (P) and audience's Q&A or formulaically P/QA.
Contrasting the two, presenting delivers much information in a short time period but doesn't permit clarification and exploration. Q&A does but since this takes time, it covers less information. So, looking at any GI as the ratio P/QA, a GI oriented around presenting could be 90/10, 90% presenting and 10% Q&A. One oriented around Q&A could easily be 30/70 meaning the leader opens with comments for 30% of the time and then attendees engage with questions and comments for the remaining 70%.
From the perspective of molding relationships and cultures, Q&A is more influential and persuasive than presenting; the spontaneity of Q&A is psychologically and emotionally more impactive. The leader is on the spot, potentially challenged. It's the same reason management by walking around and "teachable moments" are so powerful. This doesn't mean presenting can't be influential, but it does mean we will need to leverage certain techniques more.
The key is remembering that all GI's usually blend the two. That blend will depend upon the balance we want between our pragmatic goals and our relational and cultural ones.

- You're right about that, Chandrashekar. Thank you for visiting and leaving your comment. I appreciate it.
- A healthy mix of P and QA right through the GI is what constitue of interactive facilitation.

It's been a while since I've been to devpinoy.org The only thing that drew me back was a twitter post by Keith Rull. I thought to myself that I haven't been on devpinoy in a while, I wonder how everyone is doing.
Almost 3 1/2 years ago I moved from warm and sunny Charleston, South Carolina to a city call Pyeongtaek, South Korea (about 50 miles south of Seoul). It takes a good hour and 20 minutes on a low traffic day. I don't know how to explain South Korea if you haven't been here, but it is definitely different than any other place I have been. Korean people are nice and have a different culture that we are used to in the U.S. Koreans love technology and if you haven't noticed lately, taking over most of the major electronics and automobile business in America. Would you believe LG, Samsung, KIA and Hyundai are some of the notable Korean companies?
I brought over my wife and 3 kids, now we are expecting two more.
I still develop on Windows doing .NET Framework applications. The latest release is a CMS for 4 Army installations.
One can be found here: http://humphreys.korea.army.mil, the rest will be or is on the same system. I will help them migrate their data over.
I also do a few desktop apps here and there.
I don't develop as a hobby or side cash anymore. I spend more time with the family playing video games, sports or whatever is good at the time.
I use mostly compute Ubuntu Linux and Mac OSX as my home computers, but Windows for mostly at work.
I don't have the passion as I once did, but mostly it is just a job to make money to do stuff with the family, which is more important to me.
Other than that, it is no telling how long we will be here or how long it will be before we go back.
We are so far enjoying our time here, and we also miss our family back in the states.
So if you guys make a trip up to Seoul, shoot me an email. I would be happy to tell you some cool stuff to see and do.

Product description
An open call for new literary and other art forms to match the complexities of the twenty-first century. Reality TV dominates broadband. YouTube and Facebook dominate the web. In "Reality Hunger: A Manifesto," his landmark new book, David Shields (author of the "New York Times" best seller "The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead") argues that our culture is obsessed with "reality" precisely because we experience hardly any. Most artistic movements are attempts to figure out a way to smuggle more of what the artist thinks is reality into the work of art. So, too, every artistic movement or moment needs a credo, from Horace's "Ars Poetica" to Lars von Trier's "Vow of Chastity." Shields has written the "ars poetica "for a burgeoning group of interrelated but unconnected artists in a variety of forms and media who, living in an unbearably manufactured and artificial world, are striving to stay open to the possibility of randomness, accident, serendipity, spontaneity; actively courting reader/listener/viewer participation, artistic risk, emotional urgency; breaking larger and larger chunks of "reality" into their work; and, above all, seeking to erase any distinction between fiction and nonfiction. The questions "Reality Hunger" explores--the bending of form and genre, the lure and blur of the real--play out constantly all around us. Think of the now endless controversy surrounding the provenance and authenticity of the "real" "A Million Little Pieces," the Obama "Hope" poster, the sequel to "The Catcher in the Rye," Robert Capa's "The Falling Soldier" photograph, the boy who wasn't in the balloon. "Reality Hunger" is a rigorous and radical attempt to reframe how we think about "truthiness," literary license, quotation, appropriation. Drawing on myriad sources, Shields takes an audacious stance on issues that are being fought over now and will be fought over far into the future. People will either love or hate this book. Its converts will see it as a rallying cry; its detractors will view it as an occasion for defending the status quo. It is certain to be one of the most controversial and talked-about books of the year.

Author information
David Shields is the author of nine previous books, including Black Planet, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and Remote, winner of the PEN/Revson Award. His work has been translated into a dozen languages.
Review quote
"In his new book, "Reality Hunger," David Shields makes a case that a new literary form has arrived. [He] challenges our most basic literary assumptions about originality, authenticity, and creativity. "Reality Hunger" has caused a stir in literary circles. [The book] has struck a nerve." --Andrew Richard Albanese, " Publishers Weekly" (cover article) ""Reality Hunger" is an exhilarating smash-up. . . . a work of virtuoso banditry that promises to become, like Lewis Hyde's "The Gift" for earlier generations, the book that artists in all media turn to for inspiration, vindication, and altercation as they struggle to reinvent themselves against the headwinds of our time." --Rob Nixon, "Chronicle of Higher Education" " Maybe he's simply ahead of the rest of us, mapping out the literary future of the next generation." --Susan H. Greenberg, "Newsweek" "The driving force behind this entertaining and highly persuasive polemic is a frustration with the contemporary mainstream novel. . . . I can't stop recommending it to my friends. There is no more effective description (and example) of the aesthetic concerns of the internet age than this." --Edward King, "The Times of London" "Shields has a point. He gives a damn. He's trying to make a difference. He's using the best of his formidable talents to do that." --Wayne Alan Brenner, "The Austin Chronicle" "I love this book and am amused to see some of the hysterical reactions it's provoked--proof, I think, of its radical truthfulness. Shields is utterly uninterested in providing intellectual comfort; he bravely, uncompromisingly delivers the news." --Walter Kirn "On the one hand: Who does this guy think he is? On the other: It's about time someone said something this honest in print. . . . [I am] grateful for this beautiful (yes, raw and gorgeous) book." --Susan Salter Reynolds," Los Angeles Times" """David Shields's radical intellectual manifesto, "Reality Hunger "(Kn

Cape Fear Community College is worried about the future of its nationally known marine technology program.
Students in the program get gain hands-on experience by spending 30 days at sea studying the water and marine life. That experience will no longer be possible if the state makes more than half-a-million dollars in proposed cuts.
There is high demand for the program. This semester, it is at full capacity with 124 students. Students would still be able to learn marine technology in the classroom, but they say it won't be the same.
Audra Buchfield, a CFCC marine technology student said, "Learning in a classroom and saying you have to do this on a vessel is one thing, actually being there and seeing why you have to do it on a vessel is a completely different thing."
Jason Rogers, program director, said, "If we can't get them out on the boats and we can't get them fishing gill nets and taking water samples and being at sea, learning what it is to be safe in the marine environment then employers just won't hire them."
CFCC's marine technology program is the only one of its kind on the east coast. It's seen as a leader in marine education across the country.

Rangers lose right-hander Feliz to torn UCL
JUL 31, 2012 6:08p ET
Feliz will undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday after an MRI revealed he had torn his right ulnar collateral ligament.
He started last Monday in Triple A but told the team a couple of days later that his arm was sore. He was scratched from a Sunday start because of a sore elbow and the MRI followed.
Feliz has been on the disabled list since May because of a sprained UCL.
The club believes that Feliz can make a full recovery and hopes to have him back next season.
"We've known about it for a couple of days," Texas general manager Jon Daniels said. "We figured we might beg for forgiveness from you guys (the media) for not telling you right away since we didn't handicap us at all in the trade market. Obviously it's a blow for him and for the club."
Feliz is the second member of the Opening Day rotation the club has lost this year to arm surgery. Last week Opening Day starter Colby Lewis had surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon.
The Rangers got 157 starts from their Opening Day rotation last year. This season the Opening Day five has made 71 of the club's first 102 starts.
Feliz was attempting to make the transition from closer to rotation member this season. He was off to a solid start, going 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA in seven starts. His arm began bothering him in a May 18 start against Houston. That would be the last start he would make as he went on the DL on May 21, signaling the first roster move the club made during the season.

18 Year Old High School Senior - Keeping Them Motivated to Graduate!
I have five stepchildren ages 12 to almost 18 and one daughter of my own, age 17. The oldest are twin boys who will be 18 on the 10th of February. They live with my husband and myself, along with my daughter. The younger three live with their mom about an hour away. The twins came to live with us just at the start of the school year, because their mom couldnt handle them any more. They are very sure of themselves, and have their own ideas about how they should be able to live their life, come and go as they please, etc. We are not super strict and have fairly simple rules: respect others in the home, clean up your own messes, and be home by curfew are the main ones. We both work full time (or more!) a half hour away from our hometown.
My question is this: I have several friends with kids who have turned 18 in the middle of their senior year and once they hit that magic age, they really start chafing at restrictions and end up quitting school. These two arent the best scholars, but do ok if they apply themselves. One is more focused than the other. How do I encourage/motivate/bribe them to stay in school till graduation and continue being a member of our family? Because when they act up, I am inclined to tell them to pack it up and find their own way. It is very important to my husband to get them across the goal line and I am doing my best to support this vision, but if they kids themselves dont care or arent willing to work for it... then what?? What worked for you? Any advice on maintaining peace in our household and still getting them to do what we require? They have already informed us that once they turn 18, they dont actually have to go to their last half of the day which is elective classes. I can see this quickly becoming a situation of "Well, I didnt feel like getting up today, so I stayed home." (We often carpool to work together and the kids are on their own in the house getting ready and off to school.) My daughter drives and is the chaeffeuer (sp) and is more apt to act like a parent, nagging them to get up, get ready, lets go, etc. They HATE hearing this from her and then they all are up in arms and it becomes a stressful morning for all. We have told her NOT to mother them, let them be in control of their morning routine and when she is ready to go at the usual time, to state that she is leaving and then LEAVE. If they arent ready, they will walk to school and deal with it. So many dynamics at play here, hoping someone who has been through this may have some words of wisdom to pass on.... Thanks!
So What Happened?™
Well a year later.... one twin graduated with a state diploma, the other one - none at all. My daughter is a senior this year and is borderline with her credits as to whether she gets a state or high school diploma. She insists she is graduating with her class. We will soon see. Now we have our almost 15 year old son living with us. He is a freshman. We put him into school in the town where we work, so as to avoid the problems with the parentless house during the day. New challenges with that, but it is working so far. Hopefully, by getting ahold of him as a freshman we can have better success, versus trying to save it all in his senior year like the twins. I do appreciate the advice I recieved from everyone on this original question. Thank you!

I had an 18 year old and always let him make the choices. If he did not finish school that was fine with me he is an "adult" is what he likes to say so if he did not finish school he would have to leave the house. He would say "are you kicking me out" and i would tell him that he is choosing to leave by not following the rules. tehy want to feel in control so let them think it while you really are. Good luck!

C.J. answers from Eugene on January 31, 2009
I agree with your statement about your daughter leaving for school when she is ready to go, and letting the others fend for themselves. As far as a motivator, ask your kids how they will feel on graduation day if they are not graduating with their class? If they drop out now, they don't get to participate in any of the graduation activities. My daughter dropped out for almost 2 years of high school (her freshman and sophomore years). Her junior year she finally got it together and did Independent Study. During her senior year, she took 9 classes in order to graduate on time. She told me that she didn't like seeing her friends being able to go out and have fun while she was studying, but she brought this upon herself.
Ultimately, it comes down to personal responsibility. If your stepsons want to attend college, they will want letters of recommendation from their high school teachers. Something you might mention is, "You've come this far. Do you really want to blow it the last 6 months of high school?" I taught both high school and college, and home-schooled my daughter. 18 is a very difficult age, but they grow out of it, thank God. She will be 21 on Feb 13th, so we went through a similar situation. It's part of growing up and not being exactly an adult yet. Due to her "flaking out" during high school, she is taking additional classes at a community college. You might offer that as an incentive to your stepsons. Perhaps they could take a college class in lieu of some of these high school electives. Perhaps they are bored and don't feel challenged enough. If they don't have transportation, they could take online classes.
My advice is to hang in there, and this too shall pass. Good luck to you and God bless you.

N.R. answers from Portland on January 31, 2009
This is a terribly difficul situation. Once they see themselves as independent/over 18, it is almost impossible to put the "genie" back in the bottle.
Because you truly can't MAKE them, I would stress two things:
1. You are either in school or you are working/on your own/living on your own.
MAKE THEM realize that school is their job or else they need to go out, get a full time job and MOVE OUT.
Of course it is super easy to live at home and have NO adult responsibilities. But if they are saying "I'm 18 and I'm an adult, then give them two adult choices: Choose school or choose work. One comes with our support of free rent; the other, requires full emancipation.
this is not MEAN because you are not "throwing them out" but are giving them two choices - one to be a student, the other to live on their own. But what you won't accept is just living at home, being indulged, and not living up to either the responsibiilities of being a student nor of being a grown up economically.
The other thing is to keep making them seeing this as their choice: Have them talk to other adults/school counselors/an uncle/an advisor at PCC to let them think about college choices....to answer the question: "Do I want to be IN school and graduate or quit school and go to work?" Each of these boys needs to see it as a CHOICE point they are making. Dont make it so easy for them to choose just doing basically nothing.
You can't exactly motivate them to want to do something hard. So you should focus on the adult decision they have before them. What choice do YOU want to make for your life?
They may not both make the same choice. Right now, they are riding on what is natural for teens, the feeling of the "herd"...that they should be able to coast and live at home if other kids their age/tribe have gotten away with it.
Its such a dilemna for parents. Just make them make a conscious choice. If they skip school, tell them you expect to see them making job applications the next day and getting ready to move out. Have them sleep in their car for a night. This is only dangerous if they have friends with delinquent parents who will let them come live with them and do nothing at someone elses house.
Also: really encourage them that they CAN do this difficult homework and stuff. Get a tutor to sit down with them to do the assignments they think are too hard.Make them do homework with you for one hour every night, no matterw what. If they say it is all done, make them do extra.
It is worth it if you can get them both graduated.
So try to give carrots/rewards and also sticks to keep them in school. Keep trying to emphasize what will happen if they don't finish/don't graduate? What will their choices be in 5 short months? At that point, they have to either get a job or continue school and if they haven't graduated, what school can they get into?
Good luck.

M.P. answers from Seattle on January 31, 2009
You certainly have your hands full. I used to be a high school teacher and turning 18 is a big milestone to any kid. In regards to leaving school early, you difinately need to talk to the school about it. Many schools have rules about why you can leave, even if you are 18 (a part-time job, taking a college class, etc.) Get that information ASAP. Even if there are not, you should set up some guidelines for when this happens. Even though teenagers want to be grown up and be on there own, they do want to know someone is looking out for them. The most important thing to remember is to try not to get into a "power play" with anyone. There no one wins. I know this isn't much, but I hope it helps.

D.L. answers from Portland on January 31, 2009
I recieved a lot of help and various ideas thru this listing. Just exploring your options helps. A little "tough love" helped our situation with our 19 yr old living at home. There are certain rules that are non-negotiable. You decide those. In our family, it was chores, cerfews, and school or job. Free-loafing not allowed. When my son tried to test the strength of our convictions he was given a choice. He chose to leave. But he left without cell phone, car, money, etc. He stayed with friends for a couple weeks, but that soon lost it's novelty as the taste of the real-world sank in. I made it clear to him he was welcome back at any time, but the rules were non-negotiable. He is now home and in school, pulling his own weight with a new attitude and appreciation of the "perks" of family life. I will say that I am sure that those 2 weeks were harder on me than on him. I did keep tabs on him thru his sibblings and his friends. And totally questioned if I did the right thing, but in my gut I knew it was right. There is no lesson like first hand experience. Best wishes.

T.C. answers from Portland on January 31, 2009
I do not envy your position. My sister's oldest were thinking they were able to handle the same issues...they wouldn't get up, take care of themselves, or get work. Both are now drop-outs.
When I was growing up we always had a rule. School was our job...if we didn't want to do that, then we were to work or finish enough school (high school) to join the military. The rest was up to us...I have my MBA, my brother has a PhD, and our sister is a drop-out...
whatever is decided, you and your spouse need to support the rule and enforce it to the best. Try not to make your oldest girl the mommy figure. She will resent it and eventually your relationship will suffer. Maybe the boys should get parttime jobs and start paying rent or part of the utilities...give them a taste of what they will get on their own.
Good luck and God Bless,

M.L. answers from Seattle on January 31, 2009
I haven't raised teenagers, but a couple ideas that might help?
1. Let them know that after graduation that will need to pay rent starting on x-date if they aren't going to college. Make sure they know that if they'll also want spending $$, they'll have a much easier time if they have their diploma.
2. Give them an incentive to graduate such as a trip, car, $$, something they've been wanting.
3. Make absolute certain that you're not favoring your daughter over your step-sons. I'm not accusing you of that, but making sure you offer the same support for all your children is best. Your step-sons might feel unwanted after leaving their moms and feel like they're just getting bounced around.
4. Check about them seeing their guidance counselor or academic counselor at school. They may not want to, but it may be another bargaining tool for you that if they keep going to class and keep their grades reasonable then they don't have to see the counselor etc.

Hello, Well I have not gotten to that point with my children yet but I can tell you how my mother handled me when I was that age and opting to drop out of school and trying to get my GED instead and get a 2 year FREE college Education. My mother had raised 5 kisd before me and i was the sixth, she sat me down and told me that there was no greater gratification then to finish and graduate High School. I was trying to grow up to fast and didn't think that she knew what she was taking about. She also said that in this day and age which was 15 years ago that it is almost impossible to find a job without that Diploma. I was so glad that I did graduate and at the time I felt that I was just doing it for my Mother but after I finally realized I did it for myself and my future. 3 Years after I guaduated my mother passed away and let me tell you that I am so glad that I listened while I had the chance. It's hard for teenagers to listen but sit them down ad talk to them rationally and tell them that they are so lucky to have caring parents that are still living cause being young we usually take things for granted and you never know what will happen so just encourage them to go forward and finish High School and if they want to take a lazy year off before college that will be the time to explore a little. Your senior year is packed full of great memories that they will get to pass on to there children. I was also lucky to have parents that trusted me and that were not to strict so I really got to enjoy my last year of high school. Please let them read this so that they can understand that the parents we usually take for granted won't always be there to talk with or to even dis-obey!! It is really hard to lose a parent at that age. We always think we don't really need much help or advice at that age but we need it way more than we think. I no longer have the priveledge to call my momma and ask her her advise. So once again tell them they don't have much longer left and to just finish this last year. After all they are the leaders of the school so tell them to take advantage. Sorry if I rambled on and on but I miss my mother terribly and I am glad that I did that last thing she asked me to do for her which was graduate HIGH SCHOOL!!

M.D. answers from Portland on January 31, 2009
Do your step-sons have part-time jobs? Usually, the jobs kids can get while still in high school are not "fun" jobs. Fast food places, grocery stores, gas stations and similar service places tend to hire high school students. Besides providing income, they often can serve as a motivator. If the job is not something the kid really wants to continue doing, they can see a reason for graduating high school, and then getting vocational training or further education so they are not "stuck" in a dead-end job. I worked in a dry cleaners in high school, then as a file clerk, a waitress, and an assistant at a child care center while I was in college. All of these jobs helped me keep my goal in mind - none of them were what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Sometimes kids need a reality check. Maybe they think they can have a comfortable life with a minimum wage job. Do these boys have an idea of what it would cost them to live on their own? I think the real world is a very good teacher for teens.

*Stephanie has won the Whitney Award for Mystery/Suspense two years running (2008-2009) and is a finalist in the same category for 2011. Her books are well crafted suspense and have been part of the expanding Mystery/Suspense genre in the LDS Market. I've asked her to guest post on this blog about what she writes and why she writes it.
From Stephanie:
From Encyclopedia Brown's thwarting of the devious Bugs Meany, to Nancy Drew's poking her teenage nose into the mysteries that popped up all around her, to Mary Higgins Clark's nice-girl-in-peril spine-chillers, I've always loved reading a fun, suspenseful story. Bring on the suspension of disbelief—let's throw ourselves into an imaginary adventure and worry about people who aren't real as they face peril that, in reality, is just words on a page. The power of fiction to create an emotional response in the reader is an amazing thing.
Why do I enjoy mystery and suspense novels? It would probably take a psychologist to thoroughly answer that question, but since my daughter is a psych major and uses giant words I don't understand (what are hermeneutics, anyway?), I'll stick with a layman's interpretation: I enjoy the vicarious thrill that comes when a sympathetic character faces danger and escapes it—and the good guys win. For me, the happy ending is non-negotiable in a suspense novel; if I wanted to read a scary tale with a depressing ending, I'd read the newspaper. Everything doesn't have to be perfect at the end of the novel—people can still have struggles and problems and regrets—but the ending needs to be upbeat and hopeful.
I've written four LDS contemporary suspense novels—(Fool Me Twice, Methods of Madness, Cold as Ice, and a book coming out later this year, which currently has the working title of Rearview Mirror). Here's the kind of suspense novel I've enjoyed writing for the past few years: the protagonist is female and young (well, young to me—oldest so far is 30). She's trying to do the right thing, but makes some mistakes. Backstory—events that happened before the story opens—plays a critical role in my mysteries; something that happened years, or even decades, ago is going to be a catalyst for much of what takes place in the real-time of the novel. There will, of course, be a murder or two. And, with the exception of Fool Me Twice, there will be a touch of romance (which should please the readers who were disappointed when there wasn't anything huggy or kissy at the end of FMT. I'd telegraphed where the relationship between the hero and heroine was headed, but feel it would have been a mistake to push things further before the last page. It was too soon for the characters–romance at that point wouldn't have rung true for either of them—but a few readers were disappointed that there wasn't more Cupid).
What of LDS elements? I'm writing for an LDS publisher that distributes exclusively to the LDS market. Is there some kind of template I need to follow? Mandatory things to include? Does the main characters need to be LDS? No to all of the above. As far as non-negotiable points: the story needs to be clean–no sex, no profanity, no graphic violence, no endorsing evil. No, the good guys do not need to be perfect. Yes, characters can have plenty of problems and struggles. My protagonists tend to have personal problems intertwining with the mystery elements of the story. How about LDS references? Yes, my publisher does want them, but they've given me a lot of leeway there. Sometimes LDS elements play more of a role, and other times they're more of the "cultural" variety—mention of attending BYU, mention of parents on a mission, mention of a singles ward. In the LDS market, you'll find mysteries with lots of LDS elements, and mysteries with few to none. Some readers want a lot of LDS elements; others just want a clean read. The market is big enough for both types of books.
There is something that can be tricky when it comes to creating mystery/suspense novels with an LDS protagonist. In my third mystery, I discovered that when I'm setting a book in an area without a large LDS population (in this case, the Finger Lakes area of New York), it can take some dancing around in order to make sure two LDS characters don't know each other before I want them to meet. I ended up booting one character into another city, though his office was still in the town where the heroine lived—sorry about the commute, dude—because if they'd lived in the same town and were both active LDS, there's no way they wouldn't have known each other, and for story purposes, I needed them to be strangers. Also, when trying to create potential love interests for the heroine—who is staunchly LDS—and you need more than one interesting guy/red herring so you can keep things uncertain—well, hey, look at all the eligible LDS bachelors now in this area where members of the church form only a small percentage of the population! (Of course, one of those eligible young men might be a murderer, but that's how potential romance goes in a mystery novel). But there are always ways to work the story out and make thing credible and satisfying. I enjoy writing for the LDS market. I enjoy creating LDS characters, and not having to worry that my editor might wonder why I'm so rigid about not allowing my characters to take the Lord's name in vain, or about writing anything else I wouldn't want my kids to see springing from my computer. It's very possible—and very fun—to tell a chillingly suspenseful story that is also totally clean.

From the Beach to the Academy
Jason never imagined where his Sunday school answers would finally make sense.
I grew up going to church. My family went every Sunday. I got involved with the Sunday school youth group and my parents taught Sunday school. I could answer all the church questions. I could tell you about every Bible story and all the typical answers to that, but I didn't have actually any understanding of it. It was all head knowledge to me. I felt every Sunday was just checking the box.
I was also very successful in high school. I graduated valedictorian and I played football. I had a great loving family everything was going well for me. I got accepted to the Naval Academy and was going to go there.
On the outside, I looked perfect. On the inside, I lived in darkness I could not escape from.
My freshman and sophomore years at the Academy, I still had that outward appearance. I still struggled a lot trying to find out what I could fill that darkness with. So I was around different sources. I tried the drinking crowd. I tried sex. Anything that could please me.
Nothing did.
The darkness was growing. I was sinking deeper and deeper. In 2008, between my sophomore and junior year I was doing summer training out in San Diego. I was by myself on the beach and two guys from Cru came up to me and they presented the gospel. I knew what they were doing when I saw them walking around on the beach. I said, whatever; if they come talk to me I figured with my background, I knew all the answers.
But for the first time, God softened my heart and the gospel made sense. All those answers clicked and that head knowledge translated to heart knowledge. In my heart of darkness, I was looking for Christ to step in and be my Savior. By looking at him, He was the connection I needed to replace that darkness.
I was still out in California for four weeks doing more training. I prayed to receive salvation on the beach. I asked Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior. But at the same time, I was still caught in the old trap of sex, drinking and still trying to fill that darkness. I was still not quite willing to let go.
So I got back for my junior year and I knew I had to find somebody and get plugged in with Cru at the Academy. Two of my best friends were involved with Cru. They came alongside me and helped me grow.
I went from that summer receiving Christ on the beach and the next summer I went with Cru down to Venezuela and did a missionary trip down there. Then, I graduated from the Academy and I joined the Marine Corps.
Christ is always revealing new parts. There is always a corner of darkness that He is able to find and I am able to grow. But definitely, He turned my life around – a 180. My only satisfaction and hope comes from Him. And everything I do is to glorify and worship Him.

Sea-level Rise Impacts
Access the Sea Level Calculator here
Although the precise future sea level rise is uncertain, a rise within a range between about 0.2 and 0.8 metres above 1990 levels is projected by the end of this century. The impacts of this rise will be coastland recession, where erosion causes shorelines to retreat inland, and flooding of low-lying coastal regions, including low-lying island nations. As sea level rises, the severity and frequency of extreme events driven by atmospheric pressure, tides and storm surges, will increase. Even small increases in sea level will have a multiplying effect on extreme events - events that previously only happened every few years, by the end of the century, will typically be happening every few days.
Map: Increased frequency of flooding with 0.5m sea-level rise
The ACE Sea-level Rise Impacts project integrates existing data and climate projections relating to sea-level science. It will use statistical techniques to build models that combine data sets on sea-level rise, tides, surges, waves, estuarine flooding and coastal recession.
Currently our web tool combines present information relating to tides, surges and wave set-up (partially) with future projections of sea-level rise at 29 locations around Australia. This is represented in an existing web-based tool (sealevelrise.info) to assist coastal planners in their decision-making and will soon be generally applicable to the whole Australian coastline. An important aspect of this will be the consistent treatment of inherent uncertainties in the data. ACE has developed online training materials to assist planners and policymakers in the use of the web tool.

The tool is being upgraded to incorporate modelling of storm surges, tropical cyclones, estuarine hydrology and wave set-up and run-up. This statistical information will be presented for users in the form of maps and graphs.
The project also aims to develop a technique to convert probability and frequency assessments into actual risk (i.e. estimated impacts in terms of cost). This will provide users, such as policymakers, planners and asset managers, with additional information to assist in estimating risks of future flooding of coastal assets.

Perhaps less objectionable and frat boy than the Dancing T-shirt, the (unfortunately named) Show Off T-Shirt features a graphic equalizer that lights up to the beat of the music in the room. The green, yellow, and red lights are attached to a detachable battery pack so you can flash at your discretion. So hurry up and get your DJ kit on for this summer's music festivals, but I don't think this is one for Burning Man.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- BioAmber
(BIOA - Get Report) shares are down 12% to $12.50 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after announcing a public offering of 2.8 million shares of common stock in an effort to raise capital for "general corporate purposes."

(CCORF) are acting as joint book runners for the offering.
Must Read: 20 Most Volatile Post-Earnings Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates BIOAMBER INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate BIOAMBER INC (BIOA) a SELL. This is driven by some concerns, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, poor profit margins and feeble growth in its earnings per share."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Chemicals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 109.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$9.50 million to -$19.91 million.
- The gross profit margin for BIOAMBER INC is rather low; currently it is at 20.23%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -5672.64% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- BIOAMBER INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, BIOAMBER INC continued to lose money by earning -$1.80 versus -$2.14 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 2.0% in earnings (-$1.84 versus -$1.80).
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Chemicals industry and the overall market, BIOAMBER INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 65.40% to -$4.87 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, BIOAMBER INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 0.29%.

How can we get some of these? 50 amp continuous and 120 amp burst?!??!??
I smell a group buy.....
Sent from HAL 2000 using Tapatalk
Only one thing though. The voltage is 3.2
Yeah A123 cells are actually pretty good cells but the voltage is lower so it won't work with most regulated mods.
What is the mAh? Having a hard time reading the data sheet on my phone.

Well, my dreams are crushed.... If only it was 3.7 volt....

2500mah ... there goes the reason for the larger battery
I thought it was usually a trade-off between mAh and C rating...
The reason for sub-ohmers like myself would be to stick it in a 26650 mech and run a .07 ohm coil well within the battery's continuous max discharge rating......
That being said, after doing the math, you would be vaping at 146 watts... And 46 amps if you did a .07ohm build. I'm ordering these. :-)

Make sure to use the proper charger........
Was lookin at that. Probably going to purchase a LiFePO4 charger and separate it in the house so nothing... Gulp.... Happens
On second thought, if I were to run a quad 6 wrap quad micro coil and the current 28AWG setup nets me .16-.18 ohms (depending on ID).... What gauge wire would I need to get the ohmage down to .07?
Anyone know where I can get 2 gauge A-1 kanthal?

With the storm that hit the DC metro area we were fortunate to visit Colonial Williamsburg for the 4th. It was cool. Not in temperature though...that was blazing.
Williamsburg is one of our favorite places to visit. It's one of the few places where you can get pre-colonial, colonial, revolutinary, post-revolutionary, and civil war history all wrapped up in one.
On the 4th though, Colonial Williamsburg is extra special.
We got to hear a reading of the Declaration of Independence from the Capitol steps--the capitol that hosted pre-revolutionary governors as well. I don't consider myself an emotional person, but I was moved to tears.
The crowd got to yell our "huzzahs" at the end of the reading while the actors added their bits. A fife and drum group played before and after the reading marching down the road in their colonial garb, and it was all so moving.
As we were mingling with the crowds I overheard a conversation of a couple discussing how little they knew about the Declaration. Sadly, this is true of myself and I think of many Americans. So I now declare a resolve to remove my ignorance of important historical events and share it for those who might be interested.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence when he was just 33 years old. John Adams and others wanted the Declaration to be written by a Virginian and so Jefferson was pressed into writing it even though he felt his more senior compatriots would be better suited to draft such a lofty document.
Jefferson finally conceded and sat down to write a treatise on the reasons war was not only necessary but also justifiable:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." (For the full document see: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html)When Jefferson presented his document to the Continental Congress they ripped into and significant changes were made until the final draft was deemed ready and then ratified. So although independence was declared on July 2, 1776, we celebrate July 4th, the day the Declaration was ratified. A testament to the power of the pen.
History has become a new fascination for me. I've even embarked upon a study of ancient history, which for those who know me is quite a change from my usual interests, but I've felt the need to educate myself about the civilizations that have come and fallen. I supposed all the comparisons of America and Rome got me started, but I didn't want to read someone else's ideas of why Rome and the U.S. are alike, I wanted to study what I could of Rome and draw my own conclusions.
It's no doubt that Roman ideals permeated all of European society and influenced our own Founding Fathers, but what was it about the Romans that made them so effective and why then did they fall from grace? The answers I've found so far are varied.
I checked out a shortened volume of Gibbons writings on Rome. Gibbons was the foremost authority on Rome for a time, but some of his suppositions have fallen out of favor in light of new evidence, and quite frankly I got frustrated after a few pages into it because he drops names and places like the average person would know what he was talking about. In his day, though, educated people did know what he was talking about because a study of Rome and studies of the classics were considered a normal education in the day of our country's founders.
Needless to say, I put my frustrations aside (and my copy of Gibbons) and started with DVDs instead. Our library had great documentaries on Rome and my husband and I watched them all. I learned about people in Roman history well beyond the Caesars. I found out about Cincinnatus, Septimius Severus (those two names will no doubt sound familiar to lovers of JF) or more on the bizarre side, Elagabulus, who supposedly worshipped a black rock which he at times would carry around with him walking backwards.
After finishing the DVDs, I was finally able to understand some of what Gibbons was talking about, but I wanted to modernize any further research before attempting anymore of Gibbon's writing.
I searched "fall of Rome" in my library's catalog and found two books available at the time that also piqued my interested: The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome, by Susan Wise Bauer, and How the Irish Saved Civilization, by Thomas Cahill.
I want to meet Ms. Bauer, who happens to be a professor at William and Mary where we were vacationing. Her book was so enjoyable. If I could gush praises over the computer you'd all be drowning in it. I absolutely love her book. Now at 777 pages, I should say I haven't finished it yet, but it's a keeper and one I long to own. Before I plug the flood of praise for the writer--whose style is just incredible--I should also say, she has books on homeschooling and on writing as well.
Okay, back to the book, The History of the Ancient World is so informative and well written that the size of the book will quickly seem small. The chapters are short but easy to follow and put the various civilizations in perspective in their times. I can't recommend this book enough.
How the Irish Saved Civilization, by Thomas Cahill, I picked up on a whim and being the shorter of the two at just over 200 pages was able to finish it quickly. In part because of its length but also because of its ease of read. Cahill covers a part of history rarely talked about--the influence of the Christianized Irish in saving literature that otherwise would have been lost to us. He talks of St. Patrick's influence and of the monks from Ireland who took their love of manuscripts (think Book of Kells) abroad and their fastidious copying of texts. (By the way, there's a great animated film based loosely on the history of the Book of Kells: The Secret of the Kells)
Besides the umbrage I take with his comment on page 49, I recommend this book. I should warn however, that his exploration of Celtic traditions can be a bit bawdy.
So how did I get from the Declaration of Independence to Ireland in one post? I've felt compelled to study the history of our world's civilizations I supposed because I see things that alarm me in mine.
After coming back to America from 7 years overseas, I saw a culture that was changing not always for the best. The same issues that felled the civilizations of yore, divisiveness among political parties, races, religions, social classes, and corruption, greed, arrogance and abject selfishness on the part of the populace and its leaders all seemed more pronounced to me. I think this is in part because we've forgotten where we came from, what others fought for and what a wonder our history is when contrasted with the long line of failed civilizations and tyranny.
The motto of Colonial Williamsburg is, "The future may learn from the past." And so I start where I began, as do we all--our history and our future are inextricably tied. May we learn from it in time.

As an artist I love capturing images of you and your loved ones in a way that reflects your personality and individual character. Photography to me is much more than simply capturing a few moments in time, I strive to capture the emotion from your special day. I believe that photos are like time capsules, taking you back to that moment in time and feeling the same emotion when the photo was taken.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope you enjoy looking through my images as much as I enjoy capturing them!

My first trip to the Big Island Of Hawaii was because I had a desperate need to see my son during his freshman year at the University or Hawaii at Hilo. I 'HAD' to do it for less than $1000, I mean everything had to be under $1000! I found a great deal online, for a really nice hotel in HIlo for 5 nights (less than $200), I rented a small car for$200 for an entire week. My son and I spent many days, driving around the island, seeing the 'green sand beach" the southern most point of the USA. We bought some cheap snorkeling gear at Wal Mart and saw wonderful fish up close and personal. I found a cool little Bed and Breakfast just east of Kona and we spent a peaceful night there. We woke up looking 5 miles down to the Ocean, but it seemed like it was 'right there'! We were always able to find healthy little cafes, that were affordable and the few times, that we could no,t we would ask a young hippie, where we could find some 'cheap grub' and they would always send us to a sweet spot. I saw giant sea turtles crawling up on the 'Black Sand Beach' and loved the little town close by. We also made a day trip to 'volcano' and what a revelation! I had never seen anything so massive and freaky and we did not have to spend hardly any money there. We sorta tagged along a real tour, probably looked funny to the paying tourist's, but nobody chased us off. My son lived his entire life in Telluride Colorado, where he was a radical snowboarder,so I did not think he would be able to adjust to this climate, especially with no snow! But He showed me an amazing site, we drove to the top of another old Volcano and there was a ton of snow and it was freaking freezing up there!!! But how cool was that! I actually came to fall deeply in love with the Big Island, it is not pretentious, like many of the so called resorts, that I have visited in the past, the people were friendly and I felt at home! I was able to find a cheap round trip flight out of Oakland California, so my entire trip was cheap, adventurous and memory making fun. I would recommend to any parent to send their kids to college in Hawaii, you will love spending time with them there!!! I would venture to say that anyone single, married couple or your entire family, could spend a wonderful week on the Big Island and make it home with a little money in your pocket.

NBC Nightly News reporter Richard Engel held up a tear gas canister on the air to show that it was stamped "Made in the USA." But something else he said on the January 28, 2011 newscast struck me:
But what's scattered on the streets of Cairo right now are these little canisters. These were the tear gas canisters that were fired by all those riot police today. And if you look at them closely, they say clearly in English, "Made in the USA." Egyptians have been picking them up, they've been looking them over. And from an Egyptian perspective, it does seem like Mubarak and the United States are working together. So the U.S. is walking a fine line here.
Strange perspective they've got over there.

Shurance pitches perfect game in 2-0 win over AquinasStrikes out nine with only 77 pitchesTuesday, April 1st, 2014 Issue 14, Volume 18.
Shurance threw 77 pitches in seven complete innings, striking out nine of the 21 batters he faced with only one ball reaching the outfield. "This is amazing efficiency!" exclaimed Linfield assistant coach Eric Willis. Shurance had seven strikeouts in the previous game against Woodcrest Christian and six in each of the two previous games. He has a season ERA of 1.17. Linfield scored its first run in the first inning. Shurance hit a triple. First baseman Haakon Box beat out a hit to the shortstop with two outs to score Shurance. In the fifth inning, third baseman Connor Kisgen got on base on an error by the Aquinas shortstop. He was bunted to second by catcher Juan Parra. With two outs, shortstop Taylor Bush singled to right field and center fielder Chris Jasien hit a single to drive in Kisgen for Linfields second run. Linfields overall record is 5-3; they are 2-1 in Ambassador League play. 2 comments

DKNG is Teaching an Online Class on Rock Poster Design
January 7th, 2013 // Posted by Dan in Blog, DKNG News, Events, ProcessWe're excited to share a little peek behind the curtain into our process by teaching an online class at skillshare.com. As the title of the class suggests, we'll be leading students step-by-step through the process of creating a poster, from concept development, sketching, illustration, typography, to a final poster design.
The class will take place over three weeks from February 10-27 with each week focusing on one part of the process. The class resources will include written and video lectures, live office hours, and personalized feedback from us as well as fellow students. Visit skillshare.com to learn more details about the class and instructions on how to enroll.
7 Responses to "DKNG is Teaching an Online Class on Rock Poster Design"
Will this class involve learning the technical aspects of how to get the poster ready for print production? I'm interested in that.
This class is going to be solely focused on the design process. We plan on doing a follow up class that will be focused on the screen printing process that's all about prepress, separations, halftones etc.
– Dan
This is amazing. Love your work, fellas. Will definitely be involved
What's the name of the course? I tried ROCK POSTER DESIGN and got no results.
Heard about the class through AID and would love to sign up. Anyway you can provide a direct link?
Disregard my comment above ^. Found it was filtering out because of my location.
Looking forward to the class!
Can you access the class videos and resources after the class is over? Would love to learn the info but the class is half way over and wont have time in the next week to start.
Oh no! I missed this – had no idea it was going on. Will you be teaching another class on the design process anytime soon?

We are a little concert crazy again round here. Win tix to see New Order at 10 a.m. today, Kid Rock at Noon and Ben's Summer Bender at 4 p.m. Ben's Summer Bender is going to be too fun featuring Sugar Ray, SmashMouth and one of my all time fav's the Gin Blossoms - 8/3 at Electric Factory Outdoors.
Speaking of KidRock...the man's got heart...he's insisting that his concert not cost more than $ 20.00 per ticket and blasting stars like JayZ and Justin Timberlake for the high cost of their shows...$225.00/ticket is pretty steep. Kid was on with Piers Morgan the other night saying "it's highway robbery, I don't care who you are...I would consider both of them in a circle of friends in the business but I don't agree with it."
Finally, when you're as pretty as Beyonce do you really need to push the fashion envelop so hard? She performed in Serbia wearing a skin-tight gold cat suit that was nearly see-thru with eye-popping giant gold breast plates featuring giant golden nipples. Maybe wear that outfit when you're home alone with your hubs? Just sayin
