New book unifies belief in God with belief in science
JR McElfresh´s ℠SpiritQuest 2´ posits a method of bringing science and religion together
Phoenix (PRWEB) September 25, 2012
Author JR McElfresh describes his new book "SpiritQuest 2: Interface with Creation: Creative Words, Their Power, and Their Use" (published by Abbott Press) as ""¦ a merging or uniting of spiritual and physical creation thoughts."
Designed for pastors, church leaders, and those who desire to learn more about pivotal creation issues and how the universe began, "SpiritQuest 2: Interface with Creation" probes into the relationship between scientific knowledge and the Word of God. This study takes a journey through quarks, quantum mechanics, sound, waveforms, creation´s voice, energy, the miracles of Jesus, and a host of discoveries showing the relationship between God and the physical laws of the universe.
An excerpt from "SpiritQuest 2: Interface with Creation":
"It is abnormal for the natural man to always act in the best interest of others. The heroism of a father to protect his family or a military man to protect his comrades and/or his country is normally outside the instinctive actions of one´s self-interest and survival. It is positive words (word energy) spoken to him that transform the natural man into the ℠protector´ mode instead of the ℠survivor´ mode. Positive word energy has become the motivator for dramatic change. Otherwise, the natural man maintains the ℠fire´ mode of action that James 3 outlines for us. Words then, move us to mental thoughts and concepts. Word energy is the catalyst that initiates motion."
McElfresh´s book presents not only scientific information, but also spiritual insights. "This work simply states that there is a God," he says. "He created this universe and everything in it. We exist by the creative, sustaining power of the Prime Mover, who is God, the Creator."

Re: Pros and cons of steel sailboats
Take a thin piece of metal and twist it. The edges want to be longer than the middle. The middle buckles. When the weld shrinks the edges, it makes things worse. Topside plates , having a longitudinal curve in them, and minimum twist ,benefit from this shrinkage , resulting in a slight compound curve. On my 36 footers ,after final welding you can see about 1 1/4 inch of curve between the sheer and the chine from this effect.
With twisted plates, common on the bow of many hard chine designs ( like Colvins), the distortion of these plates can be difficult to deal with in heavier plate . Far more so in thinner plate. No, a wooden mold wont stop it. Best to minimize the twist in the design stage. Bringing the centreline up closer to the seam is one way to do it.
For seats and floatation, my current dingy uses longitudinal floatation chambers. This not only stiffens things up a lot , but lets me put removable seats anywhere I want them, balancing any other cargo or passengers I may have aboard. It is the best arrangement I have seen in over 40 years of cruising. For aluminium, it takes a bit more fitting , but adds a lot of stiffness, and can be done in 16 gauge, riveted to the top sides, and mostly left open on the bottom, with foam under .
On my aluminium dinghy, I had a midships seat, 16 gauge , 2-90 degree bends a foot apart on top, and 2-90s with 1 inch flanges on the bottom with foam inside, resting on a couple of tabs on the top sides. There is a photo of it on the origamiboats site.
It was nowhere as handy as the longitudinal floatation chambers, with the removable seats.
A man without a project is a man without a life.
This post is aimed at others seeking such info, not at people like Bob, who criticise me for not responding, then criticize me for doing so, when I do .

Why does Capcom feel that in order to make their game better they need to overhaul them in ways that make little to no sense to people outside of hardcore players? None of these systems help anyone. The idea behind Parrying was that it would allow you to get out of a bad situation, but the timing is so precise that it's only useful to a small percentage of people overall that play it. The same can be said for Focus attacks, dash cancels, and the like.
I was really looking forward to this game as I liked both games, in the past. I liked Street Fighter 4 for a bit till it seemed like everyone else figured out all the twitch happy counter stuff and I got left in the dust. Now I have to remember to hit someone x times with such and such a move during a match to , aww forget it. I'll just go back to playing Street Fighter 2.

Joseph Weiss, IAI's President & CEO: "A strategic milestone in the relationship with Italy and the European Industry"
Israel Aerospace Industries' (IAI) President & CEO Joseph Weiss was one of the signatories this morning, of two contracts totaling $932 million.
As part of the Israel Ministry of Defense's agreement with the government of Italy, IAI will manufacture and supply to the Italian Air Force two G-550 Conformal Airborne Early Warning & Control Systems (CAEW), Ground Support Systems and logistical support package totaling $750 million.
Under an additional agreement with 'Telespazio' IAI will develop, manufacture and supply an observation satellite to the Italian company, worth $182 million.
Joseph Weiss, IAI's President & CEO, said: "Italy is an important European country and we are proud of strengthening our relationship with it. The Airborne Early Warning aircraft and the observation satellite are two of IAI's strategic products. Beyond the financial and occupational aspects, this deal represents a significant collaboration with the European industry".
Mr. Weiss thanked all parties involved in the execution of the deal, and especially to Mr. Udi Shani, Director General of Israel Ministry of Defense, who personally led the process.
Background Information
IAI's MBT Space Division is a subcontractor to Telespazio Italy for the supply of an advanced electro optical observation satellite for the use by the Italian Government.Telespazio will be responsible for the overall system including the ground control station. The launch is also under Italian responsibility. MBT space division will assist Telespazio to fulfill its system/ground station responsibility.The satellite will be capable to produce 50 cm resolution panchromatic images from a 600 km orbit.The satellite's low weight – less than 400 kg – allows various launch options, as well as high maneuverability and coverage of widely spread areas of interest.Supply of the satellite is planned for mid 2015.
ELTA entered the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) market more than twenty-five years ago and has been very successful in developing AEW&C systems using Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, on a number of platforms which have are operational in South America, Asia and Israel.The CAEW System developed and manufactured by ELTA, with the Gulfstream G-550 business jet as its platform has been operational in the Israeli Air Force since 2008. The CAEW is a landmark design for special mission aircraft providing a sleek aerodynamic configuration which maximizes aircraft performance and high-power sensors reduced dramatically in size through the use of special manufacturing and packaging techniques. The G-550 CAEW is a unique AEW&C solution providing dual band radar installed in conformal antenna arrays on the sides of the aircraft, which have a reduced effect on aircraft performance. The CAEW provides aerial and maritime situation awareness by performing 3600 surveillance of airborne targets at all altitudes, over any terrain and in any weather conditions, including Maritime surveillance and electronic surveillance.The Command and Control System of the CAEW consists of six multi-function Operator Work Stations allowing the CAEW to operate as an independent Command and Control center or in conjunction with other Command and Control centers.The Gulfstream G-550 business jet is an award winning high performance jet which allows the CAEW to operate at altitudes up to 41,000 feet, a maximum range of 7,000 km, and flight endurance of over about 10 hours.The Mission Sensor Suite manufactured by ELTA includes:• Solid state dual-band Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), four dimensional Radar and IFF system that performs 3600 detection, identification and tracking of airborne and surface targets.• The NATO compliant Communications Suite, to be produced jointly by ELTA and SELEX-Elsag of Italy.• Electronic Surveillance Measures system (ESM) covers 3600 continuously, detects emitters in a wide range of frequencies and measures accurately the electronic parameters of each emitter, to identify the emitter and the platform that carries it.• Self Protection System (SPS) with 3600 coverage and includes active and passive sensors that detect threats approaching the CAEW aircraft, and a countermeasures dispensing system to launch chaff and flares against incoming missiles.• The Mission Computer System (MCS) creates and displays an Air and Maritime Situation Picture by integrating data from the various sensors as well as from tactical data links.The Ground Support Systems include:• Satellite communication ground station• Mission Support System (MSS) for pre-mission planning & post-mission analysis.• Operator Training System (OTS) provides a realistic mission environment for the training of mission crews.

The highlights of the off-season have been capped with one word in Cincinnati, change. There has been a change in the offensive coordinator. The team fired Bob Bratkowski after his lack of offensive creativity. They then hired Jay Gruden, the brother of Super Bowl champion coach John Gruden. With Gruden came the addition of the West Coast offense.
The Bengals have changed their quarterback. Carson Palmer retired, after the Bengals refused to trade him. The team then tries to replace the All-Pro quarterback with a rookie from Texas Christian University, Andy Dalton.
There's a change at the number one receiver spot. Chad Ochocinco, and all the baggage that comes with him was sent to New England to be Tom Brady's headache. They replaced him with AJ Green. He is a highly talented player out of Georgia, who has a lot of upside.
Soon after free agency began, the Bengals lost their very talented corner Jonathan Joseph to the Houston Texans. The Bengals try and replace what was lost by picking up Nate Clements.
Yes, there has been a lot of change in Cincinnati since last year's disappointing 4-12 record last season. The question of the year has been, will the changes made on the roster have a positive effect on this season?
The Bengals didn't start things off right in tonight's game against the Lion's. On the kick-off, they let the return man get thirty yards by not keeping their designated lanes. It is the first pre-season game of the year, but you want to start the season off right.
Matthew Stafford led his team downfield with ease on a touchdown drive in the first offensive series. He capped the opening drive with a 26 yard pass to Calvin Johnson to make the game 7-0. After a fumbled kick-off return it didn't take long for Stafford to make his second touchdown pass to Nate Burleson which would end his night.
The team was down 14-0 before their first offensive snap of the game. When the offense took the field, all eyes were on Dalton. Most coaches would call a short route for their rookie quarterback to get the game day jitters out. However, Dalton tried to bomb the ball to Green and gets intercepted.
Following the interception, it appeared as if former OC Bob Bratkowski had been calling the plays because Cedric Benson was getting the ball time and time again. In a third and long situation, Dalton again delivers an off target pass.
After that incompletion, it seemed that Dalton began finding his rhythm and finished the first half 11-15 for 69 yards. He didn't lead the team to a single touchdown, but instead lead his team to only a field goal. That sounds very familiar to Bengals fans.
Another off-season addition for the Bengals was Bruce Gradkowski, he took the field after halftime. He also failed to really impress. He went 6-11 passing for only 58 yards.
Carson Palmer's little brother, Jordan went 1-4 tonight with an interception. Dan LeFevour completed his only pass he attempted. Neither will really pressure Dalton or Gradkowski for the starting position.
The end result to this game was a blowout Bengals loss 34-3. It is still only pre-season football, and the first time we see the team come together. However, have they given us anything to look forward to for this season?
If there was any positive I seen in this game was Cedric Benson. I think that the offensive line looked more comfortable in the trenches attacking the defense. In pass protection they looked as if they were on their heels the entire game. If the Bengals have any chance at success this season they need to work on their pass protection, but the running game will be key in the development in Andy Dalton.
Defensively, I thought they looked better in stopping the run. They were getting picked apart by Stafford, and the absence of Jonathan Joseph was felt by the team.
I'm sure Carson Palmer was sitting on his couch watching this game laughing, glad that he wasn't apart of such a pathetic performance.
There was a lot of change this season, but I have yet to see where the majority of the change was for the good. This is the first pre-season game, but the Bengals started off their season with a humiliating performance. Only time will tell if this team will amount to anything this season.

Greenhouse gas milestone; CO2 levels set record
Saturday - 5/11/2013, 3:14pm EDT
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Worldwide levels of the chief greenhouse gas that causes global warming have hit a milestone, reaching an amount never before encountered by humans, federal scientists said Friday.
Carbon dioxide was measured at 400 parts per million at the oldest monitoring station which is in Hawaii sets the global benchmark. The last time the worldwide carbon level was probably that high was about 2 million years ago, said Pieter Tans of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
That was during the Pleistocene Era. "It was much warmer than it is today," Tans said. "There were forests in Greenland. Sea level was higher, between 10 and 20 meters (33 to 66 feet)."
Other scientists say it may have been 10 million years ago that Earth last encountered this much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The first modern humans only appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
The measurement was recorded Thursday and it is only a daily figure, the monthly and yearly average will be smaller. The number 400 has been anticipated by climate scientists and environmental activists for years as a notable indicator, in part because it's a round number -- not because any changes in man-made global warming happen by reaching it.
"Physically, we are no worse off at 400 ppm than we were at 399 ppm," Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said. "But as a symbol of the painfully slow pace of measures to avoid a dangerous level of warming, it's somewhat unnerving."
Environmental activists, such as former Vice President Al Gore, seized on the milestone.
"This number is a reminder that for the last 150 years -- and especially over the last several decades -- we have been recklessly polluting the protective sheath of atmosphere that surrounds the Earth and protects the conditions that have fostered the flourishing of our civilization," Gore said in a statement. "We are altering the composition of our atmosphere at an unprecedented rate."
Carbon dioxide traps heat just like in a greenhouse and most of it stays in the air for a century; some lasts for thousands of years, scientists say. It accounts for three-quarters of the planet's heat-trapping gases. There are others, such as methane, which has a shorter life span but traps heat more effectively. Both trigger temperatures to rise over time, scientists say, which is causing sea levels to rise and some weather patterns to change.
When measurements of carbon dioxide were first taken in 1958, it measured 315 parts per million. Some scientists and environmental groups promote 350 parts per million as a safe level for CO2, but scientists acknowledge they don't really know what levels would stop the effects of global warming.
The level of carbon dioxide in the air is rising faster than in the past decades, despite international efforts by developed nations to curb it. On average the amount is growing by about 2 parts per million per year. That's 100 times faster than at the end of the Ice Age.
Back then, it took 7,000 years for carbon dioxide to reach 80 parts per million, Tans said. Because of the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, carbon dioxide levels have gone up by that amount in just 55 years.
Before the Industrial Revolution, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 ppm, and they were closer to 200 during the Ice Age, which is when sea levels shrank and polar places went from green to icy. There are natural ups and downs of this greenhouse gas, which comes from volcanoes and decomposing plants and animals. But that's not what has driven current levels so high, Tans said. He said the amount should be even higher, but the world's oceans are absorbing quite a bit, keeping it out of the air.
"What we see today is 100 percent due to human activity," said Tans, a NOAA senior scientist. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal for electricity and oil for gasoline, has caused the overwhelming bulk of the man-made increase in carbon in the air, scientists say.
The world pumps on average 2.4 million pounds of carbon dioxide into the air every second for a total of 38.2 billion tons in 2011, according international calculations published in a scientific journal in December. China spews 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air per year, leading all countries, and its emissions are growing about 10 percent annually. The U.S. at No. 2 is slowly cutting emissions and is down to 5.9 billion tons per year.

Breaking Local News
Workers Impacted by Shutdown Are Asked to Hold Off on Jobless Claims
WorkForce West Virginia is asking federal workers furloughed by a partial government shutdown to hold off on filing for unemployment benefits. A posting on the agency's website encourages federal workers to wait until next week to file their claims because it's uncertain how long the shutdown will last.The agency says it will backdate claims up to 21 days after a worker is laid off. Acting unemployment compensation director Beth Carenbauer says that the agency already has received about 30 claims from federal workers. She says the agency has increased staff to process an expected rise in claims next week. WorkForce estimates there are 23,000 federal employees in West Virginia. But many may be deemed essential, so they're at work.
Car Show Impacts Traffic in Charleston
With the Charleston Boulevard Rod Run and Doo Wop car show going on, there are some traffic issues to consider. The antique and classic cars will be on display along Kanawha Boulevard through Sunday. The city of Charleston says Kanawha Boulevard will be restricted between Leon Sullivan Way on the East End to Ohio Avenue on the West Side. One westbound lane of the boulevard will remain open between Leon Sullivan Way and Capitol Street and between Clendenin Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Traffic will also be restricted on Laidley and Summers streets between Virginia Street and Kanawha Boulevard, and parking on those blocks and in the metered lot behind City Hall will be limited to event-related vehicles. Hours for the car show are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. There's also live music each night and fireworks at 9:15 p.m. Saturday.
Charleston Shooting Overnight Sends One to the Hospital
Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating a shooting at the Charleston Moose Lodge. It happened about 2:30 this morning after a fight broke out, and WSAZ.com reports several hundred people were gathered outside when the shots were fired. The crowd scattered, and a short time later the man was dropped off at CAMC General with a gunshot wound. We don't yet know the extent of the injuries.
State Tax Collections Down This Year
State tax collections in the fiscal year's first quarter are more than $34 million below estimates. Figures from the State Budget Office show that tax collections are down for the 5th straight month. September's tax collections were about $2 million below estimates. Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow tells the Charleston Daily Mail that the decline is due to sluggish wages and consumer spending. He says the state will need revenue growth of at least 2.8 percent over the next nine months to avoid a deficit.
Police Seek Poca Bank Robber
An investigation is underway after a bank robbery at the Poca Valley Bank in Putnam County on Wednesday. Kanawha County Sheriff's deputies were called to the bank along Route 62 in Poca around 1pm yesterday in search of a man described as 5'5" and 150 lbs. with fake hair and a mustache. The investigation continues today.
Doo Wop Car Show is Underway Now
The Charleston Boulevard Rod Run and Doo Wop is happening this weekend after a kickoff yesterday in Nitro.

Sheriff's Office and Charleston Police Work Together on Missing Man Case
As part of an investigation about a missing man, detectives with the Charleston Police Department went to an apartment on 83rd Street in Marmet Wednesday afternoon. They were investigating the disappearance of Kareem Hunter, a 28 year old man from Charleston, who was last seen September 23. Evidence at the apartment led detectives to contact the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office and seek a search warrant. Detectives are looking into a disturbance at the apartments the night of Hunter's disappearance. The investigation continues today..
Thornsbury to Plead Guilty
Judge Michael Thornsbury is set to plead guilty today to his alleged role in covering up drug allegations against the late Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum. This story has started to make national news now - ABC News for one. The US Attorney's Office says there is a plea agreement with Judge Thornsbury, meaning he'll plead guilty to violating the Sixth Amendment by depriving a criminal defendant his right to legal counsel of his choice, and other charges will be dropped. The maximum penalty for Thornsbury's accpeted charge is 10 years. Prosecutors say Thornsbury, along with Mingo County prosecutor Michael Sparks and County Commissioner David Baisden, came up with a scheme to save Crum's reputation by stopping an FBI informant from revealing drug deals he allegedly made with the sheriff.
Same Sex Couple in St. Albans Joins Suit
The same group that sued to overturn Virginia's marriage ban in August announced Tuesday that three West Virginia couples are suing. Lambda Legal is suing on behalf of the same sex couples, arguing that not allowing same sex marriage leaves the couples feeling like second class citizens.

I was having none of it for a couple of reasons. They as well as us had been doing that the whole match....He was about 6'9 and was heavy and we had lobbed them to death. So he was tired and that's why he tried what he did. I didn't honor it and we took the point. I understand rules but there has to be some sense of common sense in there. "You can't get two chances at the point" and that was exactly the language I used in the other thread. People want to at times massage the rules and use them when it's convenient. Maybe you didn't do that but I've seen quite a few people who do. A guy tried to call a foot fault at the end of a second set after I'd been serving and volleying for two sets and killing them with a 30 mph serve but was stinging vollies...I said okay...and took a step back did the same thing on the second serve. When I went to the other side and called it on him...he tried to raise hell. lol He wasn't even serving and volleying. So it backfired on him. He had both feet in the court but had the nerve to call it on me. lol This was doubles by the way. lol
I don't remember arguing this with you before so I think you have me confused with someone else. But if you tell your partner to get back when the ball is traveling toward your opponent and the opponent feel that he is hindered and stops play right then, then it is a properly called hindrance.

Attention of Chris -Head Youtek Innegra Speed 18x20 Racquet Review
HI Chris
I need your help and advice, I have watched the video review of the Head IG Speed and note your comments. I have recently placed Sonic Pro edge In the IG Speed MP at 57lbs. The play is quite erratic and very little pocketing.
I note how you did not prefer a poly set up and with a multi or a hybrid loved it and the racquet. You also said Jason tried poly at low tension and got on better.
Please can you tell me what multis you tried that went well with this frame and what tension and alos what tension jason recommended with the poly in this frame.
I like the ball to pocket and from that I get spin. Was putting sonic pro edge at 57lbs a bad idea ? the upper quarter where I normally hit my balls and im a high hitter on the bed seems too taught and not forgiving perhaps because of my 57lbs stringing with sonic edge.
I did try sonic pro normal in the demo and I have no idea what the tension was but it had been used for a 3 months with aggressive hitting but had no dead spots and had a big sweetspot
There are a lot of questions for you on this thread but is sonic pro normal black 1.25 an option at 50lbs tension

Much of what you describe matches my experience with a poly which was strung either right at, or very close to, the 57lbs you are hitting.
I played several strings in the racquet with Tecnifibre NRG2 feeling great. As for Jason, he was stringing around 48lbs with a poly and finding better results than the same string at mid tension.
I think with that racquet, either a poly at low tensions or a more powerful multi type of string is going to open up the stringbed and offer you a more controlled response. I would recommend first just lowering the tension and using the same string to see if that solves the issue. While 50lbs would be a fine place to start, I'd probably drop down to 48lbs if it were me.
Hope that helps,
Chris, TW

In a huge victory for the environmental movement, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has banned fracking. I guess President Obama is not the only one that can get things accomplished by executive order. Experts have made analyses that identified contamination threats to water, soil and air, the absence of reliable health studies or proof that drillers can protect the public, as well as diminishing economic prospects. All good reasons for the public to demand a fracking ban.
Fracking is also being delivered a death knell by market forces. Since it costs more to access oil by fracking than it does by conventionsl drilling, if the price per barrel falls below a certain point, fracking becomes uneconomical. Lo and behold, thanks to the Saudis who have been keeping production up, the cost per barrel has fallen to around $60. It has to be higher than $80. for fracking to be profitable. Hooray and Halleluja! Who would have thought that market forces, the Saudis and the environmental movement would all have combined with remarkable synergy to put an end to fracking? The movie Gasland also helped as well as high profile celebrities like Mark Ruffalo.
None other than Yoko Ono and her son Sean Lennon, son of Beatles' legend John Lennon, called for Governor Cuomo to ban fracking. It seems like high powered celebrities may have been listened to in high places where the hoi polloi had little success. Their group Artists against Fracking included such notables as Lady Gaga, Jimmy Fallon, Paul McCartney and Alec Baldwin, all of whom added their voices and names to the group along with some 200 others.
Huffington Post reported:
Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens said he'll issue the ban early next year. He said 63 percent of the state's 12 million acres with these possible gas deposits would already be off-limits because of protections for the New York City and Syracuse watersheds, other drinking water sources and certain other areas, while court rulings have recognized towns' authority to individually ban hydrofracking through zoning, further limiting financial prospects.
Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said 4,500 staff hours were spent reviewing health studies about the drilling method of extracting oil and gas from deep underground by pumping huge amounts of water, sand and chemicals at high pressures to break up rock formations. It's being done in many other states, including neighboring Pennsylvania.
Zucker said his counterparts in several other states told him they were not consulted before their high-volume hydraulic fracturing began. He said he wouldn't want his family to live near it, and suggested it could be like secondhand smoke, which studies eventually identified as harmful.
"If the state health commissioner doesn't want his kids living there, I don't want my kids living there and I don't want any New Yorker's kids living there," [Cuomo] said. "I am not going to put health at risk for jobs. I'm not going to make that choice."
Chesapeake Energy, once one of the biggest leaseholders in New York, last year gave up a legal battle to retain thousands of acres in the state. Norse Energy went bankrupt in 2012 after more than 100,000 acres in the state it leased were deemed off-limits to drilling. Towns and municipalities are getting into the act of banning fracking as well. Mora County, a conservative ranching community in New Mexico, is the first U.S. county to ban the practice of fracking, according to reports from the Los Angeles Times. Wells are the only source of water in Mora, which is why last month officials announced a countywide ban on fracking citing water safety concerns.
Will California Follow New York and Ban Fracking?
California is the fourth largest state producer of oil and gas. The Central Valley is also America's breadbasket. Fracking and farming are on a collision course. The battle being fought there gives new meaning to the sentiment that oil and water don't mix. Kern County is ag and oil country in California. More than 80% of the state's oil and gas is produced here. About 600 new wells are fracked each year using millions of gallons of water. This is water farmers say they need in order to produce their crops.
Almond farming is an $11 billion industry. Almonds are dependent on what's in the soil and what's in the water to grow the trees. If the groundwater is contaminated by illegal dumping of fracking contaminants, that's what goes into the almonds that you eat. Both fracking and farming are water intensive. Almonds, for example, use about 10% of the state's water supply each year. The farmers' primary concern is with the underground water suppply being contaminated. This summer the state shut down nine disposal wells in Kern County for illegally dumping almost 3 billion gallons of wastewater.
Fracking requires a huge amount of water which is why California with its water supplies in jeopardy may soon ban fracking. It takes between 100,000 and 1 million gallons of water to frack just one well. While consumers are having limits placed on their water usage, fracking companies can consume as much water as they want. It just doesn't make any sense. California is going through its worst drought in decades. Fracking not only uses up potable water supplies, it contaminates ground water in the areas in which it fracks.
Water is a dwindling precious resource. Why should Big Oil get a free pass to use millions of gallons of water to frack while California residents are being squeezed on their water usage? In 2013 and 2014 approximately 1600 wells were fracked in California, according to the Department of Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), the state agency in charge of regulating the oil and gas industry.
Jason Marshall, Chief Deputy Director of DOGGR, said "Water rights in the State of California are not regulated by the state." When asked by Jennifer London, a reporter for Al Jazeera, "Shouldn't the regulatory agency be regulating and have oversight over that?" The response was, "We can't tell somebody that they can't purchase water without some form of statutory construct." So DOGGR spouts the doggerel that they can't regulate because the legislature has not authorized them to do so. Jennifer shot back, "Then you're not regulating!"
In Sacramento the oil lobby has prevailed over the agricultural lobby with the result that frackers are taking water away from farmers. Farmers are letting their fields lie fallow for lack of water and almond trees are dying while oil corporations are fracking away.
The California Water Resources Control Board is another agency charged with protecting California's water supply. John Borkovich is the chief of groundwater monitoring, but he is clueless when Jennifer London asks him "Is Big Oil poisoning millions of gallons of water each day?" Obviously, he, as well as other politicians in California's bureaucracy, have been bought off by the oil lobby. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given such a blase answer to Jennifer's question. What me, John Borkovich, worry?
The Center for Biological Diversity is working to ban fracking in California. Fracking is taking water away from farmers who are going bankrupt since they have to leave their fields unplanted because of lack of water.
The State Water Resources Control Board issued orders to seven oil production companies last July to immediately shut down 11 waste water disposal wells "to avoid potential harm to a limited number of groundwater aquifers in Kern County." Two of the wells have since been reinstated.
But the Center for Biological Diversity said that its own analysis of records from California's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources shows that the nine injection wells that remain closed have been illegally dumping oil industry wastewater into clean-water aquifers in Kern County.
In California's 2013, 2014 legistlative session 11 fracking bills were proposed. Eight called for a moratorium or ban on the practice. One was passed which will go into effect in 2015. Even though it calls for some increased oversight on fracking, it will not limit how much water fracking companies can use.
Parents in California and elsewhere are concerned over the effects of fracking on the health of their children. A new report finds more than 350,000 children attend school near fracking wells. Jennifer London reports that most of the children affected are Hispanic. Most states regulate how far from schools fracking wells have to be located but California does not. No set-back rules put children at risk. In Shafter, CA children are getting sick.
California is supposedly a leader in the environmental movement, but when it comes to fracking, they are way behind other states. Governor Jerry Brown needs to get on the ball and follow the advice of his colleague in New York State, Andrew Cuomo, and ban fracking altogether. Governor Moonbeam needs to get together with Linda Ronstadt, his former main squeeze, and other Hollywood celebrities, and get on the 'ban fracking' bandwagon. In fact they are already saying "What the frack, Governor Brown".

Ashbourne Ladies reach cup final with win over Wirksworth Colts
Posted: March 11, 2014|
ASHBOURNE Ladies are through to the final of the Divisional Cup after beating Wirksworth Colts on penalties – following a 0-0 draw in normal time.

Others on target were Lisa Shenton, Laura Sears and Sam Glanville.
Ashbourne will now face Castle Donington in the final at the Reynolds Stadium, Matlock Town, on Sunday, May 11, kick-off 10.30am.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

The dancers are marvelous. In addition to those named, Stefano Rosato and Simon Williams give especially bold performances. Oddly, amid all this good dancing and smart craziness and why-not? inventiveness, the only profoundly stirring moment of Program B had little to do with the choreography. In between Mmm and I Do, some archival BBC footage was projected. Here before us in black-and-white, Igor Stravinsky conducts the opening of Sacrea very little, gnome-like man, eyes darting, summoning up this huge, life-affirming musical experience. Reader, I wept.
Heddy Maalems Le Sacre du Printemps is much rawer and more passionate. Half French, half Algerian, born in Algiers and raised in France, Maalem came to dance through boxing and Japanese martial arts, and in 2004 was indirectly inspired to tackle Stravinskys score by a visit to Lagos, Nigeria, where devastating poverty, eroding traditions, and rampant Westernization butt together. The 14 dancers in his France-based company are all of African descent.
To a superb recording of Stravinskys music (Pierre Boulez leading the Cleveland Orchestra), the performers come together in a kind of contemporary ritual. The men wear colored trunks, the women trunks and bras. The stage is a white box. The most striking thing about Maalems choreography is the way he designs the group. The dancersor clumps of themoften nest together, bellies pressed against one anothers bent-over backs. The men nuzzle up to the women; once, in pairs, the women dance wide-legged, while the each man keeps his head pressed against his partners thigh and groin. In Part II, the scene in the original Sacre in which the victim is chosen, people cluster around Marie Diedhiou and gently touch her body; then they lean in and, in one swift action, form a basket and lift her so shes nesting on their arms.
Compagnie Heddy Maalem
Joyce Theater
June 10 through 15
The performers respond instantly to changes in the musicpatiently forming lines, circles, and chains, then suddenly erupting into running, leaping, and violent head-shaking. But Maalem also offers an introduction and an interlude with Benoît Dervauxs projected films of Lagoslush scenery or urban congestionset to augmented natural sounds. The dramatic timing of the piece is sometimes crude or confusing. Suddenly everyone onstage starts hurling imaginary rocks at one corner, then at us. And then thats over, and they surround Diedhiou. Theres an implied mating (she and Hardo Papa Salif Ka), but Diedhiou is leader as well as sacrifice, and the lights black out before the final tremulous note of the music sounds. The real ordeal is left to spot-lit Dramane Diarra, alone on stage in front of a blurry, chopped-up film of a horse. Without stirring from his spot, he writhes and jerks his limbs and torso, increasing in speed until hes almost spastic. The lights go out again. Now what? Oh, its over. Uncertain, but grinning, the vivid performers trail onto the stage and bow. Their roughness, their power, their commitment are endearing.
Compagnie Heddy Maalem performs as part of a season billed as The French Collection. Compagnie Maguy Marin plays at the Joyce from June 17 through 22 and Ballet Biarritz from June 24 through 28. You can also escape the hot city and catch Maalems Sacre at Jacobs Pillow (June 25 through 29).

Munday doesn't plan to wait until next year
Games Televised All nine state title games will be televised live on Fox Sports Southwest, but some might be shifted to one of FSN's alternate channels on cable and satellite providers because of Dallas Stars hockey games and other programming. Munday's game will be on FSN for all Time Warner Cable subscribers because the Stars have been moved to Channel 15. The FSN alternate channel numbers to watch the Class A Division II championship are 441 for Dish Network and 678 for DirecTV.
Munday will have 16 starters in today's Class A Division II championship who are expected to return next year.
The Moguls will be one of the Class A title favorites in 2012, regardless of what happens at 4 p.m. today at Arlington's Cowboys Stadium.
But Munday (13-2) isn't even giving next year the slightest attention. That's because the Moguls are on the verge of claiming the school's third state championship when they square off against high-powered Tenaha (13-0).
Both teams have explosive offenses that are averaging at least 55 points in this postseason. Tigers quarterback Reginald Davis is a dangerous dual threat, and everybody in this area knows what Dee Paul can do with the ball in his hands.
One of Munday's biggest keys to victory will be how it adjusts to a Tenaha team that is as fast as, if not faster than, the Moguls.
"We're not used to chasing ourselves," Munday coach Patrick Corcoran said. "We're going to have to adjust to the game speed. The game's going to be played at a faster pace than what we're used to."
Corcoran believes his secondary matches up speed-wise to Tenaha's receivers, and if that's the case, then it'll be up to the Moguls' front to contain Davis and Tenaha tailback Chavis Gregory.
Davis, a Texas Tech commit, has been nearly unstoppable in 2011, rushing for 1,689 yards and 32 touchdowns while passing for 1,773 yards and 22 scores. He has a strong arm that can make accurate downfield passes even when flushed out of the pocket.
"The important thing is not to let (Davis) get in the open field. If he gets in the open field, he's going to make people miss," Corcoran said. "It's a matter of the seven kids in the box keeping their quarterback in the box. We've got to stay in their lanes and not get up past him."
Munday's defensive line has raised its level of play this postseason. The quintet of Blanford Paul, Tyrone Neskorik, Xzavier Bulliner, L.J. Collier and Jake Myers earned the praise of Tenaha coach Terry Ward this week.
"Our offensive line has played well all year, and they'll have to have their best game of the year against these guys," Ward said. "They play hard and don't take any plays off. If we can't block them, it's going to be a long night for us."
While Ward's Tigers have faced several East Texas teams with speed, he admitted the Moguls are probably faster than any opponent the Tigers have come across. Munday's all-junior backfield of fullback Tyrone Neskorik, tailback Roddrick Taylor and Paul — who is 110 yards shy of his second straight 2,000-yard season — has combined for 4,278 rushing yards and 72 touchdowns.
"Munday has scored a whole bunch of touchdowns this year. Nobody has stopped them," Ward said. "Everybody has seen the same films. Everybody knows what they do, but nobody knows how to stop them."
Much has been made of the Moguls' excellent kick return game, but Corcoran said all aspects of special teams have been terrific this season. In a matchup with two very talented teams, field position could be crucial.
"That unit as a whole has been tremendous this year, and we need that to continue," Corcoran said. "Our kickoff coverage and our punting have been great. Our extra points, even though we're not perfect on those, we're a heck of a lot better than what we have been."
The Moguls spent 23 years in between winning their first and second state football championships. Most of this coaching staff was on the sidelines during the 2007 title game, and most of the players taking the field at Cowboys Stadium were in junior high. So the memories from four years ago are fresh.
They are 48 minutes away from creating their own title-holding legacy, but a very tough Tenaha group that has rarely been tested this season stands in the way.
"I am pretty much in awe — I never really thought we'd be in the position," senior linebacker Jose Gonzalez said. "It's been a great way to end our senior year. We really couldn't ask for anything more."

BYU Basketball with Dave Rose 2-4-14Posted Feb 5th - 8:42am by Brandon Crow, KSL.com Contributor
PROVO — PROVO--- After a rough two-game losing streak on the road, the BYU men's basketball team have bounced back and are tied for the second-place spot in the West Coast Conference by defeating both Pacific and St. Mary's at the Marriott Center last week.
With these two, huge home victories, the Cougars look to keep their post-season hopes alive and continue their home-court dominance as they prepare to host the Broncos of Santa Clara on Thursday and the Dons of San Francisco on Saturday.
" Our guys really understood the importance of both of those games," head coach Dave Rose told Greg Wrubell Tuesday night at Malawi's Pizza in Provo. "Hopefully we can repeat that intensity of Wednesday practice and Thursday preparation�I think our guys are really ready this week."
BYU's Haws caps off impressive week with WCC honorsPosted Feb 3rd - 2:35pm by Jason Shepherd
PROVO — BYU junior guard Tyler Haws was very busy last week. Not only did he lead the Cougars to back-to-back home victories over Pacific and St. Mary's, he managed to average averaged 35.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in the process.
What may be even more impressive is the fact that Haws shot 59.5 percent from the field, 66.7 percent from three and 91.3 percent from the free throw line. Those numbers were good enough to earn Haws his second West Coast Conference Player of the Week award of the season.
Despite being the focus of every opponent BYU plays, Haws seems to find a way to rise to the occasion. Through 24 games, Haws is averaging 24.6 points per game (third best in the nation), while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 46.5 percent from three.
Rose: Cougars 'in good spirits' to open four-game homestandPosted Jan 29th - 6:42pm by Greg Wrubell
The BYU Cougars are the highest-scoring team in West Coast Conference play, with the league's second best field-goal percentage and the third-best scoring margin. Defense, however, was the topic du jour at the Cougars' post-practice media availability on Wednesday--the day before BYU opens a four-game home set, with the Pacific Tigers paying their first visit to Provo since 1996.
BYU is last in the league in scoring defense, and while middle-of-the-pack in FG% defense, has been victimized by the three-point shot almost more than any other team. BYU is 9th in the conference in 3PFG% allowed, having given up a league-high 74 triples through nine conference games.
In BYU's four league losses, the Cougars have been outscored 135 to 45 from the three-point line alone. On the season overall, BYU's opponents have taken 200 more three-point attempts than the Cougars, outscoring BYU by more than eight points per game from the arc.
BYU Basketball with Dave Rose 1-28-14Posted Jan 29th - 9:33am by Mitch Tate, KSL.com Contributor
PROVO — The Cougars returned home this week after a disappointing end to a four-game road trip. A triple overtime loss at Portland and a double-digit defeat at the hands of Gonzaga have left BYU in the middle of the pack chasing the WCC regular season championship.
Despite the tough road ahead, Dave Rose was confident at his weekly coach's show Tuesday night at the new Google Fiber headquarters in downtown Provo.
"I think that this team has great potential and a great future," Rose said, "but we have to get started on Thursday with a big win."
BYU Basketball with Dave Rose 1-21-14Posted Jan 22nd - 9:03am by Brandon Crow, KSL.com Contributor
PROVO — The BYU men's basketball team is roaring loud, and clawing its way back into contention after winning its fifth-straight West Coast Conference game last Saturday at Santa Clara, 91-81.
With two huge road victories last week, the Cougars are ready to pounce on an important opportunity to claim the top spot in the WCC as they set out to finish their four-game road trip this week with stops in Portland and Gonzaga.
"I'm excited for this weekend," head coach Dave Rose told Greg Wrubell Tuesday night at Malawi's pizza in Provo. "I think that Thursday's game in Portland is a huge challenge for our players, but we've had great, spirited practices, and I like where we are."
Cougars head back out on the WCC roadPosted Jan 21st - 6:24pm by Greg Wrubell
Now dealing with another injury on his already thin front line, BYU head basketball coach Dave Rose leads his team back out on the conference road this week, for games at Portland and league-leading Gonzaga.
Starting forward and occasional center Nate Austin was scheduled for x-rays on an injured left ankle, after hurting it early in Tuesday afternoon's Marriott Center practice. The injury forced Austin to miss most of the session, as he did not return to the floor.
Rose acknowledged that the injury could impact how well his team is able to play this weekend, starting Thursday.
BYU wins the battle at the 'War'Posted Jan 17th - 10:27am by Greg Wrubell
It's a simple thing that BYU head hoops coach Dave Rose is fond of saying: winning games is hard.
In conference play, the nature of the task grows harder still, with road wins representing the most rewarding of victories.
Thursday night in San Francisco, BYU faced some tactical challenges and statistical anomalies that forced the Cougars to excel in recent areas of struggle, and they responded, holding on for an 83-76 win at War Memorial Gymnasium--BYU's first true away win since a Nov. 11 victory at Stanford.
'BYU Basketball with Dave Rose'Posted Jan 15th - 7:47am by Mitch Tate, KSL.com Contributor
The BYU men's basketball team is currently riding a three-game West Coast Conference winning streak after dropping its first two conference games in late December.
A four-game road stretch, which starts this week with games at San Francisco and Santa Clara, will provide the Cougars with a difficult test. If all goes well it would set them up nicely for the second half of WCC play.
"This group has played a lot of road games with not a lot of road success," head coach Dave Rose told Greg Wrubell during his weekly radio show Tuesday at Malawi's Pizza in Provo.
BYU hits the road with Mika on the mendPosted Jan 14th - 6:34pm by Greg Wrubell
BYU should be back to full-strength as the Cougars open a crucial four-game West Coast Conference road stretch Thursday at San Francisco.
Center Eric Mika, who missed the last two games after an injury suffered Jan. 4 v. San Diego, participated in Tuesday's Marriott Center practice, and afterward, head coach Dave Rose sounded optimistic about Mika's playing prospects this weekend.
"Eric is feeling better," Rose told the assembled media. "He practiced a little bit yesterday, and today was into practice full-time, so unless he has a setback tonight, we anticipate him having a good practice tomorrow and playing on Thursday--that's what we're hoping."
Banged-up BYU prepares for Pepperdine rematchPosted Jan 8th - 7:10pm by Greg Wrubell
As BYU looks to record back-to-back wins for the first time in more than a month, the Cougars are dealing with an injury to starting center Eric Mika that has the freshman's status for Thursday's home game with Pepperdine in question.
Mika was hurt during Saturday night's home win over San Diego, when he was upended while closing out to Johnny Dee in the three-point corner. After landing hard on his back and hip, Mika continued to play, but his playing time was limited to a season-low 17 minutes, and he was clearly laboring in his time spent on the floor.
X-rays and other scans were negative, but Mika has still been unable to practice this week. After practice on Wednesday at the Marriott Center, head coach Dave Rose said Mika is "getting better every day."

Designing is creativity! i am a developer and i agree 50/50 for designer and developer even if a designer creates PSD in one day and developer converts in one month.
Don't get me wrong But you mean to say that 10 hours for a designer is equal to idk lets say 30 hours? for a developer. Yes designing is creativity and is a very hard job to come up with something which is unique enough for themeforest. but the fact that the developer puts in more hours than a designer on a theme and then updating and/or supporting the theme should be considered as well.

Day 6 of Tim's Creative Chemistry explores Distress Markers and is more of an opportunity to play around with this fabulous product. I created two tags using my favourite techniques. All the products I have used are available from The Stamp Attic.
Papillon set using the Markers direct to the stamp and also watercolouring with them. I have also applied frayed burlap Distress Ink in the background and flicked with water. A Philosophy Tag attached with a Swivel Clasp has been added along with a pearl bauble and coordinated ribbon.
Alpha Cards
folded in half and stapled to the bottom of my tag, colouring with a
little Distress Ink to blend with the background of my tag.
Natures Discovery set uses the brushless watercolour technique with the Distress Markers.
Archival Ink and coloured with wild honey. I have also added some Lavish Trimmings coloured with Distress Stain wild honey.
Tattered Pinecone die from Sticky Back Canvas which I adhered to card stock before cutting; I love the added texture this gives. I've added a piece of washer from the Washer Border Strip die along with some cord tied in a bow. To complete I have added the sentiment from Tim's Mini Muse set.
Thanks for stopping by, I will be back with DAY 7 tags next week. Tracy x x
