"The Choir Needs Choir Practice:" Effective Pro-Life Work in Churches.
At previous NRLC conventions, a particularly popular workshop featured a panel of speakers from the National Pro-Life Religious Council (NPRC), a Christian ecumenical coalition of pro-life denominational/church groups. Since there was often not enough time to address all the questions and contributions that attendees had, NRLC decided to expand the number of workshops to explore the different aspects of church-based pro-life work. This included the following:
1) We are the sheep--Where are the Shepherds?
2) Establishing an Effective Pro-Life Presence in your Community/Churches
3) Increasing Local Pro-Life Effectiveness in Pro-Life Denominations
4) Overcoming Pro-Abortion Opposition Within Congregations and Denominations
5) Ministering to Abortion Victims
Churches are a natural forum for pro-life work. They comprise a massive communication system. Pastors have regular opportunities to know their people and to speak to them.
Further, the problems of abortion and euthanasia are primarily spiritual and moral, the speakers explained. It has been the onslaught against the religious value of the sanctity of life that has largely created the legal and political crisis in our nation. Therefore, the crux of the resulting problems needs to be addressed in our churches.
Speakers included the Revs. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life; James Lamb, Lutherans for Life; David Adams, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Will Dodson, Southern Baptist Convention, Benjamin Sheldon, Presbyterian Church USA; John Brown, United Church of Christ; Clifford Christensen, Conservative Congregational Christian Conference; and Michael Mannion, director of St. Pins X Spiritual Life Center and minister in post-abortion healing.
Others who addressed the attendees included the executive director of National Organization of Episcopalians for Life, Georgette Fornay, and NRLC's Director of Religious Outreach, Ernest Ohlhoff. The cumulative experience and wisdom of these speakers created an outstanding resource for an in-depth and detailed consideration of critical questions facing the churches on the most important moral issue of our day.
Many speakers agreed that pro-life work is primarily about ministering to people: the unborn children dying, the mothers and fathers deeply hurt by abortion, families disturbed by questions surrounding euthanasia. Some pastors are not well-informed. They are stressed by time factors and fatigue. They are uncertain of how to deal with women who have had abortions, and some even lack confidence in the Gospel or fear to displease pro-abortion members of their congregation.
For pastors and congregations that are indifferent to pro-life concerns, the most important work may be to become more aware of the deep hurt and healing needed by post-abortive men and women. Georgette Fornay and Fr. Mannion presented in their workshop ("Ministering to Abortion Victims") moving testimonies to the work already being done and so vital in this area.
There is so much denial of reality, that many are "clueless" about their own post-abortive behavior and the pain underlying it, according to Fornay. Fr. Mannion challenged those working in a church setting to make it "safe to come home"--to provide a place of compassion, a recognition of the need to grieve, time to heal, and the sacramental and scriptural means to healing.
Lay people can do a lot to support pastors in a positive way. The first is to pray regularly for their pastor, their congregation, the lay leaders --a crucial first step, many speakers emphasized, which should not be overlooked.
Creative resources, materials, and activities can be provided to and directed by pro-life lay members. These may vary with different denominations, but one resource all speakers urged was references for pregnancy support services in the community and for post-abortion counseling.
Another workshop, presented by Ernest Ohlhoff and Rev. James Lamb, outlined the work that can be done by a pro-life committee within a congregation: They dealt in detail with the communication, education, and organization needed for a committee or representative to be effective in a church environment.
Churches which have well-established pro-life policies remain in need of much development in order to carry out their generally pro-life view in an active and practical way in every congregation. As Rev. David Adams pointed out, "Pro-life churches have a sense that we know the answer, it's a settled question, so we don't have to do anything." There is a need, Rev. Adams said, to move from this attitude into creating an active pro-life ministry.
Fr. Pavone described an attitude held by some who consider abortion wrong but think that other people's abortions are "not my business." Much work needs to be done to educate people about the great need for healing, for truth, for ministering, for changing laws and for changing cultural values, he explained.
The strength the pro-life churches provide is a structure that is already in place. It is important to understand how this structure works in each different denomination, the speakers pointed out, so that you can work effectively within it.
Denominations in which the leadership has adopted a pro-abortion policy can be moved in a pro-life direction and benefit from pro-life ministry, according to Rev. Ben Sheldon and Rev. John Brown. These pastors shared from their wealth of experience within their respective denominations of development about pro-life questions. It was encouraging to hear how much had been accomplished because of the persistent efforts of the pro-life denominational group, and because of the ministries carried out at the local community and congregational level.
These workshops were so rich in detail, practical suggestions, and good advice provided by these pastors and pro-life leaders that it is impossible to capture it in this short space. However, tapes are available that can carry this sharing into any and every congregation across the nation. Many useful handouts passed out at the workshops are available as well. For copies of these tapes ($6 each) and handouts, fax a request to 202-393-2610.

Rebel Art Gang Get on Beeb
August 8, 2008
THE story of a group of 19th century artists who rebelled against the establishment is being made into a TV drama.
BBC2′s six-part drama Desperate Romantics will tell the story of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
The group formed in 1848 to promote the direct depiction of nature in art.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "They were the boy band of the 19th century".

This is such a fantastic accessibility feature that it almost makes me sad that it's not part of the browser itself.
Please keep up the great work and keep developing this extension.
Utterly brilliant. Finally a worthy alternative to the old and buggy "Image Zoom" extension.
This one works ultrafast, ultrasmooth and seemingly conflict free.
Thank you so much!
There are several unofficial add-ons with almost zero impact on performance, without the browser restart requirement while offering 100% the same functionality, for example:
It's a shame that the *official* add-on is such a terrible mess. There is absolutely no reason for this add-on to have such a severe impact on Firefox's performance. The "fixed" v1.0.7 still maxes out the CPU after a while and still causes enormous CPU load even in idle for no good reason at all (~10% right after startup on a modern i5-2400 vs ~0% in idle without the add-on, and permanently a maxed out core after an hour or two with the add-on). As far as I can tell, nothing has been fixed at all.
Additionally, there doesn't seem to be any other obvious way of contacting the dev(s) than through these negative reviews.
Dear devs, please follow this bug report and fix your extension:
The original author has apparently abandoned this otherwise excellent add-on. Sadly its rather severe technical flaws will most never be fixed. :-(
I wish there was a similar alternative.
"Stealthy" is everything but. In my tests it used transparent proxies that readily reported ones real IP to anyone who was asking. This is NOT a "stealth browsing" add-on, one is at no point anonymous to the sites visited.
This add-on does succeed in circumventing some of the less aggressive region restrictions, but far from all of them.
It's a simple to use add-on that requires some trust and it has its merits. However, I don't feel like the tool is fully and properly what it does and doesn't do and how it does it.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.

'Crabby Old Man' Poem – Makes You Think
By Paula Dirkes | June 4, 2010
Several years ago when I worked at a local metropolitan hospital, I had the responsibility of conducting an experiential training program called 'Into Aging Simulation' for hospital employees and volunteers. Each participant was assigned the role of an elderly person who had a particular 'Life Script' that would play out over the course of the 90 minute program – whether they wanted it to or not. It was a pretty amazing program because it really caused people to notice how elderly patients and visitors were treated (for better and for worse) and we had some rather animated discussions during the debrief at the end.
When I trained IAS facilitators to help me put on this program, I gave them a copy of a poem that gave them some insight about what it's like to be an elderly person, from the perspective of the elderly person. The poem below is very similar to the one I used to use. Since my 'second Dad' Jack just died last week in a nursing home, and since my siblings and I are discussing our own Mother's care right now, the poem is even more meaningful.
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Nebraska, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Missouri.
The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.
And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.
Crabby Old Man
What do you see nurses? .. . . .. . What do you see?
What are you thinking . .. . . . when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man . . . . .. not very wise,
Uncertain of habit . . . . . with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food . .. . . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . . . .. . 'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice .. .. . . . the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . .. . . . lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding .. . . . . The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? . . .. . . Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse . . . . . you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am. .. . . . . As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, .. . . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten .. .. .. . .. with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters . . . . . who love one another.
A young boy of Sixteen . .. . . with wings on his feet.
Dreaming that soon now . .. . . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . .. . . . my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows . . . . . that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . .. .. . . I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . .. . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . . .. . .. My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . . .. . With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons .. . . . . have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me .. . . .. … to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children .. . . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . .. . . . my wife is now dead.
I look at the future . . .. . . shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing .. . . .. . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . . . and the love that I've known
I'm now an old man . . . .. . and nature is cruel.
Tis jest to make old age .. . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles . .. . . . grace and vigor, depart.
There is now a stone . . .. . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . . . .. .. a young guy still dwells,
And now and again . . . .. . my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys . . .. . . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few .. . . . . gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people . . . . .. open and see.
Not a crabby old man . . . Look closer .. . . see ME!!
Take care of yourself,

The proposed rules are required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which authorizes the SEC and other regulators to put in place a comprehensive framework for regulating the over-the-counter swaps markets.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC must impose margin and capital requirements to help ensure the safety and soundness of security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants. The margin rules are required to be appropriate for the risk associated with security-based swaps that are not "cleared" by a security-based swap clearing agency. The proposed segregation rules are intended to facilitate the prompt return of customer property to customers before or during a liquidation proceeding if a security-based swap dealer fails.

lol I guess I should get my space cleaned up and somewhat presentable so I can take a picture too. Think I'll make that my project over the weekend. Finally was able to get my iMac traded in for a Macbook Pro... did that to free up some space on my desktops (got two tables as my work area) to make room for more storage space.

I was planning on getting my bead table straightened up this weekend....and this thread is providing some much needed inspiration for it.
Wish me luck, and if I'm not back in a day or two, send a search party!
Blessings.Peace.Joy www.goddessjoy.comMy Art Fire shop
Joy, that was my alterer motive to making this thread... inspiration! lol And so far it's given me some great inspiration :)
But when I clean up, or re-organize, I can't find anything for weeks!!! But then I have to share the dining room table with the family at mealtimes, so I still have to straighten it 3X a day; and then it takes 15 min to 1/2 hour to set up again. It sure is a good thing I enjoy beading, or I'd quit.
BTW: before WW2, my dad was a blacksmith -- I use that style of storage, "there is always a part of it sticking out somewhere", so I just look for it, and go to it. <<g>>

Well, here's my little corner of the house. This is approximately as organized as I ever get (I did a bit of fluff & stuff). For the life of me I can't get the image to be part of the post, but the link is better than nothing, I suppose.
Space is at a premium here. We're in an apartment with only 1,000 square feet, and I took over the dining room as my 'art room'. Here it is in the day light. Lots of good natural lighting in here. I have a window to my right, and sliding glass patio doors in front of me. It's cluttered, but it's mine and I know where everything it! :)Here's my immediate work space last night, when I finished cleaning things up. I always have some sort of 'altar' in my creative space with things that inspire me for that season on it. And of course, always a candle burning! The white drawers hold my wire, stringing material, tools, and empty baggies. If you click on the picture to see it larger, you can see on the right side, on the corner of my table, my favorite thing ever. It's a cup holder with a small trash bag on it that clamps on to the table! It's from ome scrabbooking company, and I found it at my local yarn shop. They have them all along their tables for their customers to use during their stitch and *** sessions. I couldn't live without it!
The white drawers hold my wire

I loved that little white "furniture" =)
And I am gonna save you from my "space" ....cause its not for the faint hearted. I only have about 100 square feet (37square meters) flat... so my desk is "all in one" ... dinnertable, crafts area and my computers desk...
popnicute's desk - we've probably all had a 'work surface' like it at some point! But I sure don't wanna work on the floor!
Jeni - looks like you have some wall space you can expand to or fill wih inspiration. Pretty organized otherwise!
Joy's got so much color and inspiring things all over!
I think I need to burn candles too. I have a cabinet full of them, but rarely light anything. Though with the kitties in there, I might get one of those candle warmers instead. Anyone use those?

I used to use one of those candle warmers, Monica. It was nice, but I'm hooked on the flicker of a flame. Luckily my cats learned to steer clear of them!
Joy's got so much color and inspiring things all over!
I'm not posting a pic of my beading space either - there's nothing creative about this chaos..! I live in a studio about the same size as Inca's flat. My beading place is at the corner of my couch. On my right I have a small drawer system I can place some things on top of (at the moment a small tray with picture jasper chips and two(!) coffee mugs). I have a little desk like this, which holds my laptop (always on-line...) surrounded by tiny trays with beads and threads. On the couch and on the floor are cookie jars and small plasic bags with the beads and findings and everything else I can't find... It's about time to tidy the whole flat up, but tomorrow I have to clean up the car, so I can sell it.
The Troll and The Fairy - website for me and my sister with galleries
Peikonpesä (A Trolls nest) - my blog with the newest pieces
I have a small table in my room and two plastic storage boxes with beading bits in. A tin for special lampies and two boxes on top of the wardrobe. I would love love love a proper craft room or even proper space. I sometimes bead downstairs or in the garden.
I love beading outside-everything's so much more SPARKLY in the sun! I do end up beading at the dining room table quite a bit, mainly because my son has figured out how to open up the drawers of my rollie-carts and empty the contents, which gets old in a hurry. At least he can't reach the table top yet.
Jeni, I solved that problem by getting my son his own beads. *laugh* Got him the plastic ones. Thankfully he's past the stage of putting things in his mouth so don't need to worry about that with him any longer. I also got him a couple of containers from the dollar store. He's now staying out of my stuff and is happy as a clam with his own.
I'll be posting some time today -- I am hoping -- my work space. I have it just about set up now, thankfully! I wanna get back to making jewelry, miss it lol
Yes, I plan on letting him try to do some beads as well one of these days. He's only 21 months old though, so it might be just a bit too soon. He's mostly good about not putting things in his mouth, but he has been known to pick up random fuzzies off the floor and "taste" them.
Well I've finally go everything moved and set up a few other things while I was at it. Here's what it looks like now...
You can see the different areas up close in my photo album. I'm also posting about it on my journey journal at www.kcrystina.com.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by KarenLynn Pretty dress!! Very beautiful dress but runs a tad smaller then the regular fitted with daisies dresses. I'm 5'3 102 lbs and I got the size 0. Love the waist design! :-) 8.31.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mprosal love it! I like the design, the color and the length of the dress. I was worried that I might be too long but actually not. It fits pretty well. The material is also very comfortable with a good flexibility. I wear a tank inside for this dress. 8.14.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Roumy real find Super flaterring and great quality! I'm very pleased with the fit and the detail around the waist. 8.10.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by itsjaac i LOVE I absolutely love this dress! it fits well and is very flattering. I got it in navy. It's not too revealing yet still extremely flattering. I just love it <3 8.9.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Melizah Perfection Let's be realâit seems like EVERYONE has the original Fitted with Daisies dress. There's a reason: the dress is comfortable, flattering, stylish, and feminine. It can be dressed up or down, and can be appropriately worn by girls ages 14-34 (maybe even more!). This version of the dress retains all those qualities, and is slightly different than the original. The colorway I purchased (navy and white) definitely stands out. Fit was right on. I have an hourglass/pearshape figure, and the 4 was perfect. There was no skin bulging out through the cutouts in the waist (which could have happened if I sized down to a two), and the fabric practically danced right over my curves. Super flattering. I would highly recommend to girls with all different body types. It is a tinge short though, so if you don't like your upper thighs, definitely try it on in the store before you buy. 8.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jlt10k Love <3 This dress is adorable! I got it in navy. It runs super small. I usually wear size 2 (5'7 135 lbs) but I had to size up to a 4. It looks really cute with brown cowgirl boots. This is the perfect day dress. I highly recommend it. 7.31.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ldyklumzx Runs Small Ever Since I first discovered the 'Fitted with Daisies Dress' at my local FP store, I've been obsessed. I was ecstatic to see that FP has made the same dress in a different color and different pattern around the waist area so i ordered it in my normal size that i wore in the 'fitted with daisies dress' in a size 0 (for ref. 5'2, 108 lbs, 34A, 26" waist. BUT when I got in the mail, I was disappointed. The color and detail of the flower detail on the band was absolutely gorgeous BUT the fitment was off. I tried on the size 0 and I could barely breath in it nor did it even stretch, the fitted with daisies dress at least stretched to conform your body. it was so tight, that when i took it off after sometime to see if it would stretch, it left me temporary indentations in my skin. I decided to give it another shot & exchanged it for a 2. It was looser around the waist area but it was much too loose everywhere else. The top half was loose & the lining inside was too low, the arm holes were a little looser which didnt bug me too much and the since im short the length of the dress was a bit too long for my liking. Sadly, it went back to the FP store. 7.31.2012

Cyberpunk 2077 Summary
Latest news
CD Projekt RED "now focusing entirely" on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077's "time will come"
With CD Projekt RED having pushed RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt further back into May earlier this month, the studio is "now focusing entirely" on it to ensure they have it in the best shape possible.
What about that other RPG Cyberpunk 2077? We're told "worry not" about the highly anticipated sci-fi romp, as its "time will come." There's no release schedule yet for it. Hopefully before 2077.
Don't expect more info on CD Projekt's dystopian RPG Cyberpunk 2077 for a while
Those hoping to get a closer look at CD Projekt's promising futuristic RPG Cyberpunk 2077 (I count myself firmly in that bracket) may have to wait a little while longer than they'd like.
According to the company's head of marketing and public relations Michal Platkow-Gilewski, "The first rule of Cyberpunk 2077 is that we don't talk about Cyberpunk 2077."
The Witcher 3's delay into 2015 has "not really affected" Cyberpunk 2077
Surely the news of Geralt's return in The Witcher 3 now due in early 2015 has led to RPG Cyberpunk 2077 being pushed back? No, says CD Projekt RED CEO Marcin Iwinski. It's handled by a "separate team" after all.
That and I don't think our hearts could take it. They do use "certain team members" between teams given their scope, but it won't impact the day-to-day development.
The Witcher 3 PC specs 'soon', Cyberpunk 2077 "an all-out RPG game"
CD Projekt RED has come "fairly close" in squeezing all the juice out of Xbox One and PS4 with The Witcher 3, and that's great news for PC as it means "nearly half" their vision wasn't sacrificed for current-gen.
Reaffirms there are "36 different endings" - or more - to experience in Wild Hunt, as player choice really "differentiates" them from other RPGs. Cyberpunk 2077 "definitely NOT a multiplayer shooter."
Cyberpunk 2077 "most probably will" come to next-gen, just PC for now
Cyberpunk 2077 is CD Projekt RED's adaptation of Mike Pondsmith's pen-and-paper roleplaying game, due in 2015. The game is exclusively for PC, but that will probably change, according to the studio.

I think I've traced my carbs troubles back to the gas tank, I think it's rusting out, and rust is clogging the carbs.
When I pulled the carbs off to check them both needles and seat where stuck closed, there was a a few particles of brown 'stuff' in the bottom of the bowls, the fuel filter also had 'stuff' in it. So i used the fuel pump to fill a clear plastic bottle (500ml) of gas, let it sit for a while and there is a ever so slight amount of 'stuff' at the bottom, which was so fine as to get past the fuel filter.
Now a new tank is over $400 CDN, I not going to mess about with the old one, so it looks like I got to dip into the 'old saving again, guess those new golf clubs will have to wait!

Colloidal Silver Can Turn Skin Blue
There is no legitimate reason to swallow colloidal silver — often sold as a cold medicine, decongestant, or all-around cure-all, says a U.S. newsletter.
The Harvard Health Letter warns there may be some serious and/or strange side effects — including turning blue.
While silver may legitimately be found in silver sulfadiazine to treat serious burns, on fabric as a dressing for wounds and in silver nitrate to treat warts and corn, but there's no proof that taking colloidal silver by mouth has any benefits.
As for harm, brain and nerve damage from silver exposure is rare, but colloidal silver can cause kidney damage, stomach distress and headaches, the newsletter says.
The most common problem associated with silver exposure is argyria — skin turning a bluish gray as granules of silver accumulate in the body. The conjunctiva — the membrane that covers the eyes and internal organs — may also be affected. Once silver is deposited, there's no way to get it out, so the discoloration could be permanent, the newsletter says.
The Harvard Health Letter says colloidal silver taken a short time and in recommended amounts, probably won't cause argyria, but people overdo it.

- Introduction
- General considerations
- Lake basins
- Lake waters
- Lake hydraulics
- The hydrologic balance of the lakes
- Major natural lakes of the world
Heat transfer
Heat added to a lake at the surface is usually mixed mechanically downward as a result of wind action. This process keeps the upper portion of a lake relatively uniform thermally. Consequently, a thermal gradient (thermocline) becomes established between the upper mixed layer (epilimnion) and the deep portion of the lake (hypolimnion). In shallow lakes or shallow portions of large lakes, the thermocline will eventually intercept the lake bottom so that no hypolimnion exists. Normally, as the heating season progresses, the thermocline intensifies and deepens. Secondary thermoclines may develop in the epilimnion, and these will migrate downward to the main seasonal thermocline. On very warm still days, a thin surface layer may store heat before a mixing episode transfers heat downward. When the cooling season commences, the mixing that tends to destroy the thermocline is enhanced by vertical convection. If the cooling continues until the entire thermocline is eliminated, the lake becomes essentially isothermal and no longer exhibits the characteristics of a two-layered system.
When a lake is stratified, the most important process for downward transfer of heat to the hypolimnion is through eddy conduction. The coefficient of eddy conductivity is determined empirically and varies substantially from lake to lake. Mixing processes are generally more active in coastal areas, so that isotherms can be expected to slope downward toward shore. In large, relatively unprotected lakes, wind stress at the surface causes convergence or divergence or both of shallow waters along coastlines. Isotherms will slant upward toward the shore, and hypolimnion water may even become exposed at the surface. These occurrences are of great importance with regard to the distribution of heat within stratified lakes.
Heat introduced to lakes in large quantities, as a waste product of cooling processes in power-generating plants and other industrial concerns, is presently viewed with some concern as a pollutant, especially in small lakes. If the heat is injected at the surface it will spread initially according to the momentum of the influent and the speed and direction of ambient surface currents. When the initial momentum is sufficiently dissipated, the heat will spread mainly as a consequence of turbulent mixing processes. Throughout these events, substantial losses of heat to the atmosphere may occur, so that the full effects of the thermal input are not borne solely by the lake. Temperature values at the surface, adjacent to the influent-heat source, may be raised to a very high level—as much as several centigrade degrees. Under certain conditions fish-activity tolerances may be exceeded, and undesirable algae and plankton production may be stimulated.
If waste heat is not released at the surface but is diffused over a large depth range or injected at depth, the large local-surface-temperature problem is avoided. Losses to the atmosphere in this case, however, are also greatly reduced, and the net heat input to the lake as a whole is much greater. Over a long period, this may prove to be more detrimental to the general ecology than near-surface injection.
Lake hydraulics
The principal forces acting to initiate water movements in lakes are those due to hydraulic gradients, wind stress, and factors that cause horizontal or vertical density gradients. Lake water movement is usually classified as being turbulent.
Hydraulic effects are frequently the result of inflows and outflows of water. These may be substantial and continuous or weak and sporadic; in terms of the ratio of the volume of the inflow or outflow to the lake volume, the latter is the most frequently observed situation.
The stress of wind moving over the lake surface causes a transport of water within the lake, as well as the movement of energy downwind through the mechanism of surface waves. The wind is therefore one of the most important external forces on a lake. It can be relatively consistent in speed and direction, or it can be highly variable in either or both.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union is suing St. Louis over the way the city approves and regulates street performers.
The process includes a mandatory audition and a $100 fee. The ACLU said Wednesday that both are unconstitutional.
ACLU attorney Tony Rothert says most cities don't require a permit for street performers, and those who do typically charge far less than $100.
A city spokeswoman declined comment, saying officials have not yet reviewed the suit.

Build your bottom line by building with natural gas.
If you build what home buyers want at a market price, you will sell a lot of homes. And what home buyers want is a home with natural gas. In a recent New Homeowner Energy Preference Survey, prepared by Woodland, O'Brien & Scott, more than 70 percent of prospective homebuyers prefer natural gas.
Even better, builders reported that the average price for a new home with natural gas is 6 percent higher than for an electric home. So, if you want to be competitive, give customers what they want…the savings and comfort of a home built with natural gas.

"Greg Miller: Over Time"
Greg Miller often gets grouped with the Shepard Faireys and Banksys of the art world, though what the post-pop artist does is quite the opposite of the famed street artists.
Miller doesn't go out and tag walls (he considers himself "something of an environmentalist" he says as way of explanation in a recent interview with L.A. writer Peter Frank). Rather, he brings the outside in by recreating walls layered and aged by advertising and graffiti through sculptural paintings that are composed of airbrushed images, drips of paint, pages from mid-20th century novels and ads.
The artist, who splits time between L.A. and Austin, presents 12 new paintings that do just that in "Greg Miller: Over Time" his first solo show in Texas currently up at Peveto Gallery. These works represent a new direction for the artist, a favorite in L.A. circles for his cool, slick pop art paintings of swimming beauties and pop iconography (he's even been commissioned by film directors to create parting gifts for casts, most recently for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained).
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Jan. 31. Continues through March 9, 2013

Visteon is committed to offering products to automakers that support the goal of reducing vehicle emissions and increasing fuel economy through weight reduction and other approaches. Visteon supports the movement to alternative fuel vehicles and powertrains, with the overall goal of reducing vehicle emissions. Visteon supports high fuel economy vehicles, the latest electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) and alternative refrigerant vehicles through some of the technologies highlighted in this report. In addition, Visteon continues to improve its environmental performance in its global manufacturing operations, aligned with the company's corporate environmental, health and safety policy.
Environmental Product Information – 2013
In 2013, HVCC celebrated the expansion of its Hluk, Czech Republic, plant, where eco-friendly exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers and radiators for European vehicle manufacturers are produced. EGR technologies are used in modern engines to reduce emissions. In India, Visteon's climate business introduced an ultra-slim heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. This compact system is approximately 10 percent lighter and 30 percent smaller than most conventional HVAC systems, helping enhance fuel economy.
|Automotive News PACE Award for product innovation
In 2013, HVCC received the coveted Automotive News PACE Award in the product innovation category for its metal seal fitting at the 19th annual PACE Awards. HVCC's first-to-market metal seal fitting has a seal structure that eliminates a significant source of refrigerant leakage, resists contamination during assembly, and meets current and future market requirements for alternative, environmentally friendly refrigerants. This innovative technology also qualifies for U.S. EPA leakage reduction credits, up to 0.49 g/mile CO₂ per fitting. HVCC also was recognized as a PACE Award finalist in the manufacturing process category for its innovative method that uses a laser to improve the compressor assembly process between the shaft and swashplate. Among its benefits, this process creates an environmentally friendly solution that eliminates the need for harmful chemicals associated with traditional sandblasting and anodizing adhesion methods.
|Examples of Environmental Success – 2013
|Asia: Best Environment Friendly Green Company
Located in Bhiwadi, Visteon Climate Systems India Limited (VCSIL), a subsidiary of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp., was recognized by the State Government of Rajasthan, India, for its contribution to environmental protection. VCSIL received the "Best Environment Friendly Green Company" award from the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation Ltd. (RIICO), and was judged based on efforts surrounding water utilization, waste reuse, recycling and energy conservation.
|Asia: "3 Star Rating" in EHS excellence award
Visteon Technical and Services Centre Private Limited (VTSC) in Chennai, India, was recognized for environmental, health and safety (EH&S) excellence in 2013 – earning a highly respected "3-Star Rating" from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
The CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry-led organization that encourages and recognizes innovative practices and extraordinary contributions in EH&S. The desire "to empower and enable a safe work environment for employees and society as a whole and put people before profits" – is the spirit that the award applauds.
|Asia: Dehumidification unit improves energy conservation
At Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics, engineers developed an innovative energy-saving solution by adding an air dehumidification unit to a heating and cooling system. This unit reroutes heated exhaust air from ovens used in the production process and utilizes it to dehumidify incoming ventilation air. The plant recognizes significant savings because the less humid ventilation air requires much less energy to cool. The savings amount to the equivalent of nearly two weeks of electricity costs for the facility.

This slice consists of a shortbread base, firm caramel centre and a milk chocolate top. They are not at all hard to make.
Think I beat the butter a bit too much so base was a bit sticky putting it in the pan even so it turned out perfect little bit fiddly but that was my fault,was still ready within the time said and was tasty with the shortbread base:-

Let people in Congress know about importance of clean water
To The Daily Sun,
Summer is here and many of us are heading out to spend time on the water.
We should be glad the Environmental Protection Agency has recently proposed a long-overdue rule that will safeguard water quality across the country.
This "new" proposal is really an old one. It simply clarifies which bodies of water are protected under the Clean Water Act.
The proposal will restore federal protections to two million miles of streams — waters that provide drinking water to 117 million Americans and vital habitat for wildlife.
Like just about everything else these days, the proposal has generated some controversy in the halls of Congress. But many of those making wild claims about the rule may not have read the proposal or understand its sweeping exemptions for the agricultural community.
On the next hot day this summer, please sit down with a cool glass of clean water and send our members of Congress an email letting them know about the importance of clean water and healthy wetlands and streams — for our economy, for wildlife, and for our way of life.

Since Mr. Valengavich made my correspondence public, you decide
To The Daily Sun,
In The Daily Sun's Thursday edition, Mr. Valengavich acknowledged that I had sent him a letter concerning the children crossing our southern borders. In his letter, he seemed to indicate that he knew all about the problem and indicated that anyone referring to the border crossers as "illegals" are the ones acting "lawlessly."
While I had intended to simply engage in a private correspondence with him, to offer a broader perspective to the existing problems, he has chosen to "go public."
FYI, here is a copy of the letter I sent to him and the internet video link that provides a broader perspective. I would invite people to access the link and decide for themselves.
"Hi Mr. Valengavich,
"I read your response to Steve Earle and was interested in your comment about the children crossing our southern border. I have saved a video link that is probably the best, condensed description of the immigration problem and how it needs to be addressed. Take a look at it . . . I'd be interested in your thoughts after you've viewed the presentation."

City Council trying to enact protect the incumbents ordinance
To The Daily Sun,
For many decades I have believed that Thomas Jefferson was the originator of "Eternal Vigilance". The text is a warning of what has to be done to preserve our Liberty. At a time when some are re-writing history, at my age some issues are just not worth the time. However, Eternal Vigilance is one rule for the voters. One only has to turn to the Community Organizer and Truth Fabricator for the examples of BHO's string of down and out lies! This short letter is to inform city government that it is my opinion that you have decided to control future municipal elections. And why, because the City Clerk in charge of elections did not account for all of the ballots cast, and write-ins in Ward 5 and when challenged, would only look at the ballots if Laconia resident and property taxpayer David Gammon would pay to see the ballots.
The City Council has chosen to run an election on the very day Laconia voters are holding their primary for state and federal candidates. Is Councilor Bob Hamel in such a hurry to make sure the "protect the incumbent" city ordinance is passed NOW?
Oh yes, I have been hosting my radio program for nearly two decades. What radio program has city councilors and other city officials used to get their message out to Laconia? Oh yes, that has been me and Alan Harrison. We are hometown.

About Fox News: Many silly TV shows receive high ratings?
To The Daily Sun,
Recently I received a letter from Bob Meade, in it he invited me to visit a web sight. So this is addressed to him.
Mr. Meade, thank you for the letter, I always enjoy receiving mail that is not an ad or a bill. However, I have to tell you I already know what's going on with the refugee children. That's why I back Catholic Charities and anyone else that wants to treat these kids humanely. I can't believe that there are people who feel compelled to call these children "illegals." While I feel sorry for these people, I'm sorry but they are the ones acting lawlessly. I will always believe you have the right to say stupid things, that doesn't come close to making it right.
I saw one gentleman from Catholic Charities say they wanted to procure empty warehouses, office buildings, and schools to build dormitory type housing for these children. Those are my thoughts on the matter Mr. Meade, thanks again for your interest in my opinion.
On the same subject, one of the frequent writers to this wonderful paper questioned where the poor families were getting the several thousands of dollars it cost to send these children up north. These are families who love their children and they will make any sacrifice to get their children to safety. I don't believe it is any of his business where they get the money, but, think loan sharks, think selling anything and everything to save your child.
Now I have been waiting patiently for Mr. Earle to respond to my challenge to name even a single "made-up fact" he claims we on the left write about. I presume he is researching this challenge and is having some difficulty coming up with anything, when you're ready Mr. Earle.
But I seem to have struck a nerve with Mr. Jim McCoole. Gosh Mr. McCoole, what offended you so that you would write such a letter. I would like you to try to say exactly which of my points upset you so, pick one, just one. Was it asking Mr. Mayotte about what he thinks religious freedom means to him? Was it me pointing out the misdirection of the right-wingers saying liberals are in trouble in the coming mid-terms? Perhaps it was the fact that I know Christians, and other people of different religions, who have no problem with anyone's religious beliefs, as long as they don't try to impose them on someone else. I think it was probably when I pointed out that Jesus, were He to show up at our southern border, would most likely not be carrying an AK-47. That if you believe He would be, you are a CINO.
Mr. McCoole, I was raised by two of the most devout Catholics I have ever met in my life. I myself was Catholic until I was 12 when I made the decision to find something else to believe in. This was a very personal choice I made after seeing people who called themselves Christian doing and saying some very un-Christian things. Actually it was much more than just that, but that's the simplest way to put it. If I insulted any true Christian, that was not my intention and I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Mr. Earle is certainly king of the "half-truths" line of opining. The letter where he misquotes Nancy Pelosi is the kind of classic half truth nonsense we have come to expect from Mr. Earle.
To Cathy Dawson: Mr. Earle either tries to be funny by misspelling peoples names or he just doesn't know any better. Either way it is just more of the disrespectful attitude he shows in almost every one of his letters, even when he pretends to care about the person in question. I don't know for a fact that the president hasn't asked Hamas to show some restraint, but I doubt he has. If anyone were to ask them to do that it would probably be Secretary of State John Kerry. But let's say the president did come out and ask them to show some restraint, you can bet the first thing to come from the right-wingers would be that he is negotiating with terrorists.
I would also like to thank Mr. Ewing for his wonderful advice to visit a couple of states to the south. To be honest I would have gone even without his urging. I wish I could still be there but my present circumstances won't allow it. Anyway, while I was there I was shocked, the roads, the taxes, the prices, the people. What a difference from here.
The roads I took to and from my destination were smooth and for the most part trouble free, some construction traffic, not to bad though. As to the sales tax, it of course goes hand in hand with the prices of taxable goods, here I really was shocked. The prices of things I regularly purchase in New Hampshire were 50 cents to a dollar cheaper, the sales tax is 6 cents on a dollar, and I was in one of the wealthier sections of the state. The gas prices there have dropped drastically since my last visit, a pleasant surprise to be sure.
And the people, as I ran into strangers in my running around, I greeted and was greeted by perfect strangers I noticed a lack of suspicion that I get here on a daily basis. I was greeted with many hearty "good mornings" and was happy to return the same. When I said good morning to people they responded with the same with a smile. While there are many people here that will do the same, most I have run into look at you like you want something from them that they don't want to give. It's sad really. I have found in my life that the most distrustful people are the ones you can trust the least. Anyway, I spent 10 glorious days in the most beautiful state in the country, in my humble opinion. That would be Connecticut of course.
One last thing, Mr. McCoole points out the ratings for a channel called Fox. Honey Boo-Boo, that Jersey shore show, and Paris Hilton, and many other silly shows enjoyed high ratings. Does that make them relevant to anyone other than viewers of these shows? I won't even bother to point out how ratings are gathered other than to say that Fox might actually have higher ratings than are reported, of course they may also have lower ratings.

Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen once said that the average English degree holder is fated to become a shoe salesman, hawking wares to former classmates who were lucky enough to have majored in math. Meanwhile, PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel, who studied philosophy at Stanford, refers to degrees like his as "antiquated debt-fueled luxury goods." Faced with such attacks on the liberal arts, it's no wonder that interest in the humanities is waning. As the college year begins, many students are likely to take President Obama's advice and forgo an art history degree for a certificate in skilled manufacturing or some other trade.
Not to be outdone, defenders of the liberal arts are jumping into the fray. Among them are New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, liberal arts consortiums and even a pair of cartoon crusaders called Libby and Art (get it?) who are quick to respond to people besmirching the humanities on Twitter. But joining this chorus are some unexpected voices: CEOs of technology companies.

Also, be sure to take advantage of a special five-game package, a way to enjoy awesome savings and automatically enter to win a luxury box during the Red Storm's home game vs. Georgetown at MSG.
