Linked Data for Libraries. Linked Data and bibliographic metadata models © PhOtOnQuAnTiQuE Some time after I wrote "UMR – Unified Metadata Resources", I came across Chris Keene's post "Linked data & RDF : draft notes for comment", "just a list of links and notes" about Linked Data, RDF and the Semantic Web, put together to start collecting information about "a topic that will greatly impact on the Library / Information management world".
While reading this post and working my way through the links on that page, I started realising that Linked Data is exactly what I tried to describe as One single web page as the single identifier of every book, author or subject. I did mention Semantic Web, URI's and RDF, but the term "Linked Data" as a separate protocol had escaped me.

Special Issue: 21st Century Metadata Operations: Challenges, Opportunities, Directions. FRBR and the History of Cataloging. Library metadata and the semantic web. Towards a conceptual framework for user-driven semantic metadata interoperability in digital libraries: A social constructivist approach. Purpose – With the aim of developing a conceptual framework which aims to facilitate semantic metadata interoperability, this paper explores overarching conceptual issues on how traditional library information organisation schemes such as online public access catalogues (OPACs), taxonomies, thesauri, and ontologies on the one hand versus Web 2.0 technologies such as social tagging (folksonomies) can be harnessed to provide users with satisfying experiences.
Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews works in relation to current metadata creation, utilisation and interoperability approaches, focusing on how a social constructivist philosophical perspective can be employed to underpin metadata decisions in digital libraries. Articles are retrieved from databases such as EBSCO host and Emerald and online magazines such as D-Lib and Ariadne. Abstract. RDF will often be the metadata model of choice in the Semantic Sensor Web. However, RDF can only represent thematic metadata and needs to be extended if we want to model spatial and temporal information.
For this purpose, we develop the data model stRDF and the query language stSPARQL. stRDF is a constraint data model that extends RDF with the ability to represent spatial and temporal data. stSPARQL extends SPARQL for querying stRDF data. In our extension to RDF, we follow the main ideas of constraint databases and represent spatial and temporal objects as quantifier-free formulas in a first-order logic of linear constraints. Thus an important contribution of stRDF is to bring to the RDF world the benefits of constraint databases and constraint-based reasoning so that spatial and temporal data can be represented in RDF using constraints. Standard library metadata models and structures for the Semantic Web.
Purpose – There has been a significant increase in activity over the past few years to integrate library metadata with the Semantic Web. While much of this has involved the development of controlled vocabularies as "linked data", there have recently been concerted attempts to represent standard library models for bibliographic metadata in forms that are compatible with Semantic Web technologies. This paper aims to give an overview of these initiatives, describing relationships between them in the context of the Semantic Web. Design/methodology/approach – The paper focusses on standards created and maintained by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, including , , and . Moving library metadata toward linked data. To ensure that they can participate in the Semantic Web, libraries need to prepare their legacy metadata for use as linked data. eXtensible Catalog (XC) software facilitates converting legacy library data into linked data using a platform that enables risk-free experimentation and that can be used to address problems with legacy metadata using batch services.
The eXtensible Catalog also provides "lessons learned" regarding the conversion of legacy data to linked data by demonstrating what MARC metadata elements can be transformed to linked data, and helping to suggest priorities for the cleanup and enrichment of legacy data. Converting legacy metadata to linked data will require a team of experts, including MARC-based catalogers, specialists in other metadata schemas, software developers, and Semantic Web experts to design and test normalization/conversion algorithms, develop new schemas, and prepare individual records for automated conversion.
Focus on Metadata: Understanding the Semantic Web: Bibliographic Data and Metadata. Submitted by Daniel A. Freeman on January 19, 2010 - 12:27pm Today, we face a significant time of change that is being prompted by today's library user. This user no longer visits the physical library as his primary source of information, but seeks and creates information while connected to the global computer network. The change that libraries will need to make in response must include the transformation of the library's public catalog from a stand-alone database of bibliographic records to a highly hyperlinked data set that can interact with information resources on the World Wide Web.

Director Pandiraj on his sleeper hit "Pasanga" that's bagged quite a few awards
It has been over a year since the movie "Pasanga" hit the screens. But, the flow of awards for the film has not ceased. The film's director Pandiraj won the National Award for regional film in Tamil, as did Kishore and Sri Ram, the two child artistes in the movie.
The director also bagged 'Sankardas Swamigal' award for best director, presented by the Puducherry Government.
So, how did the director conceptualise this script that revolves around two boys and their families? Pandiraj says the film was the result of his urge to do something unique for his first movie. "When I looked at Tamil movies in the last two decades, I realised that there were very few movies for children. But rather than making a movie 'for' them, I decided to do one 'about' them."
The beginning
The man had a humble beginning from a small village near Pudukottai in Tamil Nadu. Later, he joined actor-director Cheran as an assistant director and worked with him in a number of successful films. It took four years for him to complete the script of the movie, and even more time to sell it.
Pandiraj says there were very few takers for the story as many producers doubted the commercial viability of making such a movie. But, not only did the movie become a commercial success, but also received critical acclaim.
Having worked in the media for a while, the director was aware of the nuances of how critics viewed a film and what they looked for in a movie, and this, he says, enabled him to improve his work.
However, he feels, the most important goal is to receive audience's applause, and this acknowledgement This recognition is one of the reasons that propelled him to be part of the celluloid world..
The character Anbu in the movie reflects the director's own childhood. He has transformed many of his personal experiences into scenes in the movie, and this, he says, has given the movie that touch of reality.
But, working with children has its own constraints — most of them come with fear of the stage and the camera. However, Pandiraj says once they get over the fear, it's great! "The first 10 days are always a problem. Once you help them in this critical phase, you will be amazed at the ease with which they learn."
His latest venture "Vamsam" has received a warm response from the public. Pandiraj plans to do a film to cater to the taste of the urban audience. "It is my aim to do a commercial movie, targeting urban youngsters, and I've started working on the script."
Keywords: Pasanga, Tamil cinema

Sleep Quiz: Test Your Medical IQQ:Which group of people requires 9 hours of sleep per night?Q:Which group of people requires 9 hours of sleep per night?The correct answer is: C School-aged children and teens Explanation: Sleep needs vary from person to person, and they change throughout the lifecycle. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Newborns, on the other hand, sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and children in preschool sleep between 10 and 12 hours a day. School-aged children and teens need at least 9 hours of sleep a night. Q:There are how many stages of sleep?The correct answer is: C Five Explanation: There are five stages of sleep. During the first four stages of sleep, the muscles of the eyes are relaxing. These stages are collectively referred to as nonrapid eye movement (nonREM) sleep. The last stage of sleep is associated with increased contraction of the eye muscles. As a result, the fifth stage of sleep (when eye movement is active) is called rapid eye movement sleep or REM sleep. Q:Sleep apnea is America's most common sleep disorder.The correct answer is: • False Explanation: Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the U.S., affecting a third of adults at some point in life. Insomnia is defined as the complaint (or perception) of inadequate or poor-quality sleep because of one or more of the following: difficulty falling asleep; waking up frequently during the night with difficulty returning to sleep; waking up too early in the morning; or unrefreshing sleep. Insomnia is not defined by the number of hours of sleep a person gets or how long it takes to fall asleep. Individuals vary normally in their need for, and their satisfaction with, sleep. Insomnia may cause problems during the day, such as tiredness, a lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Q:Sleepwalking, which is characterized by walking during sleep, may also include:Q:Sleepwalking, which is characterized by walking during sleep, may also include:The correct answer is: D All of the above Explanation: Sleepwalking is characterized by a complex behavior (such as walking) occurring while asleep. The sleepwalking activity may include simply sitting up and appearing awake (while actually still asleep) and getting up and walking around. Sleepwalking may include other complex activities such as: moving furniture; going to the bathroom; dressing and undressing, and similar activities. Some people even drive cars while actually asleep. The episode can be very brief (a few seconds or minutes) or can last for 30 minutes or longer. Q:Which of the following are possible symptoms of sleep deprivation?Q:Which of the following are possible symptoms of sleep deprivation?The correct answer is: B Weight gain and poor hand-eye coordination Explanation: There are two issues at work with sleep and weight gain. The first is intuitive: If you're up late, the odds are greater that you're doing some late-night snacking. The other reason involves what's going on biochemically when you're sleep deprived. Hormones that affect appetite take over, making you hungrier the next morning. These hormones also make you feel not as full after eating.
Q:What is another term for sleep paralysis?Q:What is another term for sleep paralysis?The correct answer is: D B & C Explanation: Sleep paralysis occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep, and causes a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. If it occurs while you are falling asleep, it's called hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis. If it happens as you are waking up, it's called hypnopompic or postdormital sleep paralysis. During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking. Q:A circadian rhythm refers to which of the following?Q:A circadian rhythm refers to which of the following?The correct answer is: C A 24-hour period of time Explanation: The word "circadian" is a 20th-century invention. It was coined in 1959 from the Latin "circa" (around) + "diem" (a day).Circadian refers to events occurring within a 24-hour period, in the span of a full (24-hour) day, as in a circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythmicity is a fundamental property possessed by all organisms. These rhythms are driven by an internal time-keeping system: a clock. Q:Which mental illness has the strongest link to insomnia?Q:Which mental illness has the strongest link to insomnia?The correct answer is: B Depression Explanation: The most common sleep disorder, insomnia, has the strongest link to depression. In a 2007 study of 10,000 people, those with insomnia were five times as likely to develop depression as those without. In fact, insomnia is often one of the first symptoms of depression. Insomnia and depression feed on each other. Sleep loss often aggravates the symptoms of depression, and depression can make it more difficult to fall asleep. On the positive side, treating sleep problems can help depression and its symptoms, and vice versa. Q:People need less sleep as they grow older.The correct answer is: • False Explanation: Even though sleep needs can vary throughout the lifecycle, adults (even older adults) still require an average of 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
Q:Breathing pauses, gasps, shallow breaths, and airway collapse during sleep indicate:Q:Breathing pauses, gasps, shallow breaths, and airway collapse during sleep indicate:The correct answer is: D All of the above Explanation: There are three types of sleep apnea: central sleep apnea (CSA); obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and mixed sleep apnea (both central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea).
During sleep, the brain instructs the muscles of breathing to take a breath.
Q:Treatments for insomnia can include sleep aids AND stimulants.The correct answer is: • True Explanation: Self-treatment of insomnia with over-the-counter (OTC) drugs is advisable only for transient or short-term insomnia. OTC sleep aids should only be used for a short period of time in conjunction with changes in sleeping habits. Chronic use of these drugs may result in dependence on them. This creates a situation in which sleep is not possible unless the drug is used. Chronic insomnia should be evaluated by a physician.
Q:High-level anxiety or terror while sleeping is referred to as:Q:High-level anxiety or terror while sleeping is referred to as:The correct answer is: A Nightmares Explanation: Nightmares refer to complex dreams that cause high levels of anxiety or terror. In general, the content of nightmares revolves around imminent harm being caused to the individual. Nightmares can occur multiple times in a given night, or one might experience them very rarely. Individuals may experience the same dream repeatedly, or they may experience different dreams with a similar theme. When individuals awaken from nightmares, they can typically remember them in detail. Upon awakening from a nightmare, individuals typically report feelings of alertness, fear, and anxiety. Q:Sleep deprivation can cause:Q:Humans' biological clocks have how many daily periods of sleepiness?The correct answer is: B Two Explanation: Our bodies are programmed by our biological clock to experience two natural periods of sleepiness during the 24-hour day, regardless of the amount of sleep we've had in the previous 24 hours. The primary period is between about midnight and 7:00 a.m. A second period of less intense sleepiness is in the mid-afternoon, between about 1:00 and 3:00. This means that we are more at risk of falling asleep at the wheel at these times than in the evening--especially if we haven't been getting enough sleep Q:Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can put you at risk for:Q:Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can put you at risk for:The correct answer is: D Heart disease, heart attack, and heart failure Explanation: Sleep deprivation can lead to serious problems. Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can put you at risk for heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes. Q:Drowsy driving is similar to driving under an intoxicating influence.The correct answer is: • True Explanation: Drowsiness can slow reaction time as much as driving drunk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that fatigue is a cause in 100,000 auto crashes and 1,500 crash-related deaths a year in the U.S. The problem is greatest among people under 25 years old. 1 / 16

Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steve Stamkos is just like the rest of us. He too has a theory about the longevity of pop music's most scrutinized couple, Beyoncé and Jay Z, especially after catching them on their On The Run tour.
"[Their relationship] looked pretty good on stage but I'm sure if they are on the outs they probably had a little agreement to do the shows before they announce anything," he told Much.ca. "But if they are splitting up they did a pretty good job of acting on stage because they looked like they still were in love."
Stamkos stopped by Much HQ today to play a little street hockey and help launch Coke's new Share a Coke program. You can find Coca-Cola products throughout Canada labled with 290 of Canada's most popular names and get one custom made at their mobile can van. And like a lot of athletes, Steve has a deep love of music. As they say, all rappers want to be basketball players and all basketball players want to be rappers. Stamkos admits its not that different between some hockey players and some rock stars.
But as for the Lightning's leader, it seems like his tastes skew a little more towards hip-hop and R&B. "[Jay Z's] pretty iconic in the music industry. It's pretty amazing that he has been able to do what he has done for so long and his stuff can still be loved by so many people. Beyoncé is a pretty big name in herself but it just seemed when he got on stage the presence that he had was pretty amazing."
He is also a fan of Jay's occasional partner in crime Justin Timberlake who he has saw on his tour with Jay Z last year in Toronto. "I think it is just his charisma and stage presence. I think we're all jealous of the way he can move and sing. Secretly I would love to be able to do that and have those talents," he admitted.
The hockey star will be returning to the ice back to full health after an injury when the new season starts in October. And he can expect some of the "younger guys" on the team to have their favourite techno songs all cued up for the pre-game. "[They play] stuff that's going to pump you up, motivate you to get out there and play,," he said. "I mean there are some mixes we get in there and we're like. 'what the heck is this?' But for the most part the younger guys who are in charge of the music do a pretty good job."

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Robert Spitzer in 2007.
In a post on April 11, I called attention to Gabriel Arana's account in American Prospect of having been subjected to reparative therapy as a teenager. In the course of researching the history of the "ex-gay" movement, Arana interviewed Dr. Robert Spitzer, the author of an influential 2001 study that lent some credibility to the movement. Arana reported that Dr. Spitzer had attempted to retract his article, which was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. Now, Dr. Spitzer has formally apologized to the glbtq community.
Although most reputable psychologists and psychiatrists had for many years dismissed the outlandish claims of high "success rates" by Joseph Nicolosi and other practitioners of reparative therapy, the notion that sexual orientation might be changed through therapy received some scientific backing in Spitzer's 2001 study, not least because Spitzer was a distinguished psychiatrist who had helped lead the campaign to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness.
Spitzer's prominence in the profession gave credence to his study, which was based on 200 interviews with patients who claimed to have been converted from homosexuality. The study made no claims about the success rate of ex-gay therapy, but it contended that, at least for a highly select group of motivated individuals, it could work.
Although flaws in the study and its conclusions were quickly pointed out by many researchers, the study gained traction even as many of the leaders of "ex-gay" groups were exposed as frauds and charlatans. Although it was attacked by gay activists, Spitzer's study was cited over and over again by practitioners of reparative therapy, for it is the only peer-reviewed scientific study published in a prestigious journal that seemed to validate the possibility of successful therapy to change sexual orientation.
But, as Arana revealed, Spitzer, who is now retired and suffering from Parkinson's Disease but is nevertheless still sharp, told him that he now believes that his 2001 study was deeply flawed: "In retrospect, I have to admit I think the critiques are largely correct," he said. "The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more."
Spitzer also revealed that he had offered to write a retraction of the study, but that the editor of Archives of Sexual Behavior declined the offer.
Dr. Spitzer's repudiation of his own work was hailed by Truth Wins Out's Wayne Besen as "a devastating blow to 'ex-gay' organizations because it decisively eliminates their most potent claim that homosexuality can be reversed through therapy and prayer."
Besen, who has frequently criticized the study, said that "Dr. Spitzer's repudiation of his 2001 study is an earthquake that severely undermines the validity of 'ex-gay' programs." He added, "Spitzer just kicked out the final leg from the stool on which the proponents of 'ex-gay' therapy based their already shaky claims of success."
Now, John Becker reports, Dr. Spitzer has written to Dr. Ken Zucker, the editor of Archives of Sexual Behavior, not only explaining the "fatal flaw" in his study ("There was no way to judge the credibility of subject reports of change in sexual orientation"), but also offering an apology to the gay community, especially those who have been harmed by reparative therapy.
"I believe I owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the efficacy of reparative therapy," Dr. Spitzer wrote. "I also apologize to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some 'highly motivated' individuals."
Becker comments, "Dr. Spitzer's apology to the victims of 'pray away the gay' therapy and the greater LGBT community marks a watershed moment in the fight against the 'ex-gay' myth. We commend him for it, because not only will it solidify his legacy as a respected doctor and significant historical figure, but it will help to greatly hasten the day when the scourge that is reparative therapy is eradicated forever and LGBT people can live openly, honestly, and true to themselves."
In the video below, from 2007, Spitzer speaks out against the misrepresentation of his study by anti-gay groups like Focus on the Family.

Redeemed In Fire
Senior Member
So as said, there never will be ranked dominion, since ranked dominion needs more players, and there never will be more player unless there is ranked. The matter has been settled.
I think there was a ranked dominion once? But riot took it down? Am I mistaken? I honestly think that ranked could make dominion better, but it's just my opinion... I mean I do want ranked, but I'm blaming no one if we don't have it. I won't start criticizing riot or nome. If they say that they can't make it... well they probably have their reasons. If we think that those reasons are stupid, telling that to Nome will take us nowhere. Moral: If you love dominion like I do, then play it. Don't expect ranked. It won't come. It's sad and EFFING frustrating, but you cannot change that.
I played Dominion since day 1. I've more-or-less quit Dominion since S3. Why? Because it's so F'in non-competitive. The matchmaking formula for LoL tries to budget you on a team...SO MANY TIMES I've been budgeted as the highest person on a team with a bunch of low ELOs against a team with pretty generously spread ELOs. One guy with 1400 Dom games CANNOT carry SR vacation trolls with a combined total of 150 wins against a team where they average 200 wins per person and have nobody under 150 wins. **I know wins and ELO are not directly related, but I definitely think total games played and experience are related** Anyway, what I'm getting at is that for anyone wanting to be competitive in Dominion right now, there is no outlet for it except for the weekly tournaments. I live in Korea, and most of the tournaments would be taking place during Monday morning for me....work time, not an option. Occasionally I poke into a blind mode match to try to experience the awesomeness of a good Dom match...but it fails every time - my team picks a bunch of squishies, call not bot, pick flash/ignite, then proceed to not have a bot and the team gets rolled. Why don't I just play bot? Cause I figured out that high mobility champs that can fight at windmill then quickly gank bot 'carry' Dom MUCH better than just winning bot.(This has been my experience at my level at play). Until something is done to address the lack of competitive play in Dominion, I will be trolling and generally being bad on the Proving Grounds and teaching my bro and his friend to play in TT(cause they also don't like SR).
i don't care so much about ranked anymore. i would love to see some actual buzz about dom and some proof that riot actually gives a **** about the only game mode i play though.

Arpaio: Despite potential escape, jail is secure
PHOENIX -- A manhunt is underway for a possible escaped inmate from the Lower Buckeye Jail in Phoenix.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio tells KTAR that deputies discovered 26-year-old Adan Orduno missing from the psychiatric ward around 9 a.m. Sunday. Officials say he should be considered armed and dangerous.
"We want to find out, number one, if he did escape how it occurred and number two, if he's in the jail, how did he conceal himself in that jail system," Arpaio says.
Deputies are searching in and outside the jail with the help of canines. Arpaio says Orduno was booked into jail on an attempted murder charge and he's served time in prison for burglary and assault. He adds, "This is a very secure jail, it was built seven years ago. I don't believe we've had any escapes."

Why Portable Church Should be a Permanent Part of the Future
Chances are, the biggest and most memorable events you've been to in your life have happened in a set-up/tear-down venue: concerts, conferences, weddings, parties, graduations, etc. The majority of these events now happen in rented facilities: stadiums, arenas, tents, convention centers or a beach, park or field in the case of many weddings today.
Virtually no artist owns their own concert facility and makes fans fly to their venue to watch them play. Imagine having to fly to the "Coldplay facility" in England to watch them play. No, the bands you love most come to you, rent a facility, set up the show and then move to the next town.
It's also quite amazing to see what can be done in a portable environment.
One of the biggest shows in history was the last U2 tour. The 360˚ tour was an unbelievably elaborate set that is hard to believe could be done on the road. The blog photo above is a shot I took a few years ago at the Toronto stop of their 360˚ Tour. (For more, here's a three-minute timelapse video of the nine-day set-up and tear-down of the set. To see another view including concert footage, click here.)
On a more personal scale, chances are you will attend a college graduation in a tent or a wedding of someone you love deeply on a beach, in a garden or field, in a restaurant or on a farm. So here's the question:
If the biggest and most meaningful gatherings on the planet are portable, why doesn't the church make portable church a permanent part of the future?
Almost every church starts portable. But few want to stay there. Why?
Because there's a stigma attached to being portable.
- People think you're not a "real church."
- Set-up and tear-down is hard work.
- It feels temporary, not permanent.
Can we rethink that?
- It's not that people think you're not a real church; some Christians think you're not a real church.
- Set-up and tear-down is hard work when you're not organized or don't have bought-in volunteers; when you do, it's sustainable.
- Maybe it only feels temporary because the idea is fairly new to the church world.
At Connexus, we've been doing set-up and tear-down for over five years and have discovered to our surprise that it's a great way to do church for unchurched people.
In fact, last year, we decided that portable church would be a permanent part of our future.
While we are looking to find a larger facility that would function as a hub to which we have 24/7 access, weekend venues that are portable make sense for us for numerous reasons. Here are seven reasons portable church might make sense as a permanent part of the future:
1. The stigma doesn't exist with unchurched people.
I never expected that to be true, but we've heard that story many times. Christians who stay away from portable church will always have another building they can go to for church. 60% of our growth at Connexus is from self-identified unchurched people. Many of them tell us they love our venue because it's not a "church." I've never had an unchurched person say "I will come when you have a real building."
2. Larger churches are finding portable church works.
Read through some of the stories Portable Church Industries outlines and you'll see portable church isn't just for small start-ups. Churches of 1000+ are fully portable.
3. Building costs are disproportionately high.
Where I live, 30,000 square feet of new construction permanent space will cost you over eight million dollars. Even with our $1.3 million dollar budget and a $1.25 million dollar capital campaign last year, building a full-scale facility from scratch would be a financially oppressive move.
4. It allows you to pour more money into ministry.
As a five-year-old church, we are debt-free with money in the bank and margin for the future. Last weekend we were able to spontaneously give a $5000 donation to aid flood relief in Calgary. That would not have happened if we had a six million dollar mortgage.
5. New buildings don't grow your church.
I know more than a few church leaders who have poured millions into new venues only to discover they didn't grow once they opened. Effective ministry will grow a church. A building won't (for more on that, read this post on three things that won't grow your church).
6. Portable is flexible.
Flexible, agile churches will make a big impact in the future. You can upsize or downsize your venues based on current momentum. Once you're in a building, you're committed to or constrained by the size of footprint you created until money is available to change that. Portable is more more flexible.
7. Buildings eventually become mausoleums.
Almost every church leader has heard of Charles Spurgeon. But who can name his church? It still exists, but almost died for lack of attenders in the 1970s. The point is this: God uses people to lead ministries, not buildings. Facilities are a means to an end.
I'm not saying churches shouldn't have buildings. There are times where churches need them and ought to have them. But, there are lots of dying churches sitting on real estate, and lots of growing churches with none. (I also think dying churches should flip the keys to growing churches ... but that's another post).
Has the time come for us to push past the point where we believe that every growing church should have a building?
The time has come for us to give portable church a permanent place in the future of the church, and get on with building a movement.

Mum's the word for designers (FT)
"As a new generation of young designers challenges the usual definition of 'family business' by turning to their parents, especially the mother, as employees, understanding such familial tropes and how they may affect their corporate partnerships is increasingly important.'We call it a 'reverse succession', and we are seeing it more and more.'"

"Michael Skinner and a tiny coterie of colleagues are intimately familiar with the physical details of rock stars, royalty and some of Britain's most famous historical figures.

PERU - The congregation of Peru Community Church understands it may be difficult to stretch dollars during difficult economic times, but it doesn't want people to go without basic nutrition.
The church recently established the PeaceMeal program, which provides "hot food and warm fellowship" on Saturday evenings to those in need.
Linda Shepard, who oversees the program, said it came about through a discussion raised by the church's pastor, the Rev. Dr. Robert E. Svenson.
"He had read an article about the number of children in America who go to bed hungry and it was a really high statistic," recalled Shepard. Svenson had asked if any of the church members would be interested in providing at least one meal a week for the community to help bring down the statistics on the local level, said Shepard.
A committee was formed and the issue was studied to determine if there was an actual need in the community. As it turned out, there was. Approximately 800 children within the Peru Central School District qualified for free or reduced school lunches, she said.
"So, we decided we would have a meal on Saturday nights because the kids had no school lunches that day," said Shepard.
Instead of calling the program a "soup kitchen," said Shepard, the committee called it PeaceMeal, with the idea of reducing the stigma associated with receiving assistance, especially with a free meal.
"I think some people hear the term 'soup kitchen' and think 'Oh, everyone's going to know I'm destitute.' It's really not the case," said Shepard. "It's an opportunity for people to have a nice supper together and meet people and have some fellowship."
The program served its first meal Nov. 15, with Shepard crediting an anonymous donor for getting the project started with a $1,000 contribution. Thus far, PeaceMeal - which has the motto"Feed the Need" - has relied on the generosity of donors to fund the meals and the volunteer efforts of Peru Community Church and St. Augustine's Church members to serve them.

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique is determined to stay at Anfield and play his part in helping the club back to their glory days.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is likely to reshape his squad this summer, but Enrique is hopeful he is part of the manager's plans.
The 27-year-old left-back is under contract until 2016 and believes he is developing well at the club.
"I haven't spoken with the manager about next season but I want to stay," Enrique said.
"I still have to improve some things but I think I'm getting better every season. As you get older you know more.
"This type of football the manager wants has really helped me as it's the type of football I love to play.
"I am happy at this incredible club and in this city. The support we get from the fans is amazing and also from people inside the club who do so much for us.
"I still have three years on my contract and hopefully I can stay at this club for many years."

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Mike Whaley: Hill embracing her second soccer chance
Tuesday, August 5, 2014
When Rollinsford's Rachel Hill was cut from the Team USA 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup soccer team last month, there were some tears, but no self pity. Instead, she continued to push herself on the soccer pitch to prepare for her upcoming University of Connecticut season, and also to be ready in case the U.S. had a last-minute need for her.
"Yeah, it was pretty hard," she said. "I did everything I could. I tried my hardest and did the best I could, and it didn't worked out in the end." It didn't, but then it did. Hill is part of the U.S.'s roster of 21 players. The New Hampshire resident is the lone player from the New England region. She will play forward and wear No. 11. "It's been good," she said. "We've been training once a day to make sure we're on the same page so that we're organized and ready to go on Tuesday." This is the U.S.'s seventh appearance in the FIFA World Cup, which they have won three times (2012, 2008, 2002), more than any other country. The tournament runs from today until Aug. 24. The U.S. has three group games — in a real "Group of Death" — with Germany (today, 7 p.m.), Brazil (Aug. 8, 8 p.m.) and China (Aug. 12, 4 p.m.). There are four groups of five teams playing in four Canadian cities — Edmonton, Moncton, Toronto and Montreal. All the USA games will be shown on either ESPNU, WatchESPN or ESPN2.
For her part, Hill said, "I'm just working on knowing my role and always being ready to go. We're just organized so we're on the same page with set pieces and defense. It's good. I love it."
Previous to UConn, Hill was a four-year starter and first team all-state player at Somersworth High, setting the state schoolgirl record for career goals (151). |

Notts County midfielder Gavin Mahon is set for a scan to determine the extent of the hamstring injury he suffered against Leyton Orient.
Mahon was forced off after just 17 minutes of the 2-1 home defeat at the weekend with what was originally thought to be a groin problem.
The 34-year-old has since been assessed by the club's medical staff and will now be sent for a scan to assess the injury.
It means Mahon is a doubt ahead of the trip to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United on December 27.

Remember Me
The second day broke from past lineups by venturing into dance, rap and R&B. Louisiana dance pop band Royal Teeth commenced the festivities on Sunday, with plenty of energy and percussion to get people moving and reward them for arriving early. Boston boys Bearstronaut strike an upbeat balance between analog and digital elements, with '80s rhythms and lounge-singer crooning from David Martineau. Big Black Delta had an unusual onstage visual: crooning lead singer Jonathan Bates backed by his laptop and two drummers, busting out a tricked-out cover of "Bittersweet Symphony."
Solange came off as a stylistic anomaly in the bill – taking the stage flaunting an Afro and in full retro-soul mode, an old-school song-and-dance artist backed by an old-fashioned band in the middle of a bill dominated by digital gear. Her tight band owned grooves straight from the '70s and '80s, and Solange proved to be a charismatic performer in her own right, demonstrating a dynamic vocal ability and some impressive dance moves and stage presence. She truly held her own amongst the day's dance and hip-hop giants, proving to have a sizable following once they sang along to the '80s Madonna jam "Losing You." Considering whose genetic shadow she lives in, the adoration and respect she's earned from fans and critics becomes all the more impressive.
Rave mode kicked into full gear as DJs took to the stage. DJ sets from Flume and Flosstradamus brought the dubstep with plenty of atonal but rhythmically thumping samples and scratching. DJ Wolfgang Gartner came armed with bone-rattling bass and stinging treble in his loops. Samples ran the gamut from strings and a choir, tribal percussion and the familiar sound of a dial-up modem, by now such an EDM cliché that Gartner's use of it to introduce his set comes off as self-aware and tongue-in-cheek.
The day's DJs and bands all worked the crowds quite impressively, but as the day progressed and heavier hitters took the stage, the showmanship and command of the crowd increased. Reggae jocks Major Lazer took theatrics to a new level with twerking dancers, a plastic ball on loan from the Flaming Lips, a costumed mascot and a gun full of confetti. But the music itself beckons the crowd to dance, jump, and mosh, adding dancehall embellishments to club standards like "Jump Around," "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Harlem Shake." The team equally engaged the audience with chill-out anthem "Get Free," sung by Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors.
As red-hot rapper Kendrick Lamar took the stage, each member of the crowd became a hype-man for songs like "Fuckin' Problems" and "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe." Finally, hometown heroes Passion Pit capped the festival with their signature blend of upbeat, synth-laden melodies, played with the intensity of punk, and carried by the unique falsetto voice of Michael Angelakos. The crowd sang along to the hooks of "The Reeling," "Carried Away" and other dance-pop gems, a triumphant ending to another star-studded Boston Calling.

After seeing some truly awful kicking and blocking today (a shanked punt that didn't cross the 50, Phil Dawson's even worse shank of a <30-yard gimme, 90+-yard returns for TDs), anyone else think that the Pats' special teams are significantly better (at least relative to the rest of the league) than they were last year? [And, looking ahead: today notwithstanding, Gostkowski should give the Pats a 5+ yard advantage on kickoffs over the Vinatraitor.]
On "Patriots All Access" they gave an alarming stat that despite the fact that Gostkowski is leading the league in the length of his kickoffs the team is 28 in yards allowed per kickoff return. It didn't seem that bad to me but I hope it improves.
To be fair, though, even if they're 28th in yards allowed, they're still around 4th in terms of average starting position given up (since Gostkowski kicks 'em 5-6 yards longer than average).

I just recieved a Glock Sport Combat holster from Midway that was advertised as fitting a G30...no way! I'm keeping it because it fits my G19 nicely and for twenty bucks delivered, I think it's a great option.
I just don't think they made a model that fits the Glocks with the wider slides like the .45 acp and 10mm.
Anybody have this setup?

The late Kraft Eidman joined the law firm then known as Fulbright, Crooker & Freeman in 1935. He became a partner in 1947 and head of the firm's Litigation Department in 1973. In November of 1973, the Fulbright & Jaworski partners elected him as managing partner and chairman of the firm's Executive Committee. He was the firm's third chairman following the late John H. Crooker, Sr., and Leon Jaworski.
Mr. Eidman was also very active in local, state and national bar associations. In 1960 he served as president of the Houston Bar Association. He was also a fellow and president of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers. He served as a member of the Dean's Council of the University of Texas Law School, as president of the University of Texas Law School Alumni Association and as president and trustee of The University of Texas Law School Foundation. In 1978 Mr. Eidman was designated a Distinguished Alumnus of The University of Texas. He also served as Trustee and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Development Board, of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and as a trustee of the M. D. Anderson Foundation. He was president of the International Association of Insurance Counsel.
Mr. Eidman was born on January 17, 1912 in Liberty Hill, Texas. He received an A.B. in 1932 and an LL.B. in 1935 from The University of Texas, where he was associate editor of the Texas Law Review, was a member of Chancellors at the Law School and of the Friar Society at the University.
There was no chink in the professional armor of Kraft Warner Eidman. He was a great trial lawyer of the highest integrity.
