How would you go about adding up all the integers from 1 to 100? Tap them into a calculator? Write a little computer code? Or look up the general formula for summing integers?
Carl Friedrich Gauss as depicted on the (now defunct) German 10 Marks note.
Legend has it that the task of summing those numbers was given to the young Carl Friedrich Gauss by his teacher at primary school, as a punishment for misbehaving. Gauss didn't have a calculator or computer, no one did at that time, but he came up with the correct answer within seconds. Here's how he did it.
Notice that you can sum the numbers in pairs, starting at either end. First you add 1 and 100 to get 101. Next it's 2 and 99, giving 101 again. The same for 3 and 98. Continuing like this, the last pair you get is 50 and 51 and they give 101 again. Altogether there are 50 pairs all adding to 101, so the answer is 50 x 101 = 5050. Easy — if you're Gauss.

Sequences of numbers can have limits. For example, the sequence 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... has the limit 0 and the sequence 0, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, ... has the limit 1.
But not all number sequences behave so nicely. For example, the sequence 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 4/5, ... keeps jumping up and down, rather than getting closer and closer to one particular number. We can, however, discern some sort of limiting behaviour as we move along the sequence: the numbers never become larger than 1 or smaller than 0. And what's more, moving far enough along the sequence, you can find numbers that get as close as you like to both 1 and 0. So both 0 and 1 have some right to be considered limits of the sequence — and indeed they are: 1 is the limit superior and 0 is the limit inferior, so-called for obvious reasons.
But can you define these limits superior and inferior for a general sequence
for example the one shown in the picture? Here's how to do it for the limit superior. First look at the whole sequence and find its least upper bound: that's the smallest number that's bigger than all the numbers in the sequence. Then chop off the first number in the sequence, , and again find the least upper bound for the new sequence. This might be smaller than the previous least upper bound (if that was equal to ), but not bigger. Then chop off the first two numbers and again find the least upper bound.
Keep going, chopping off the first three, four, five, etc numbers, to get a sequence of least upper bounds (indicated by the red curve in the picture). In this sequence every number is either equal to or smaller than the number before. The limit superior is defined to be the limit of these least upper bounds. It always exists: since the sequence of least upper bounds is either constant or decreasing, it will either approach minus infinity or some other finite limit. The limit superior could also be equal to plus infinity, if there are numbers in the sequence that get arbitrarily large.
The limit inferior is defined in a similar way, only that you look at the sequence of greatest lower bounds and then take the limit of that.
You can read more about the limits inferior and superior in the Plus article The Abel Prize 2012.

Here's a dilemma. Suppose you and a friend have been arrested for a crime and you're being interviewed separately. The police offer each of you the same deal. You can either confess, incriminating your partner, or remain silent. If you confess and your partner doesn't, then you get 2 years in jail (as a reward for talking), while your partner gets 10 years. If you both confess, then you both get 8 years (reduced from 10 years because at least you talked). If you both remain silent, you both get 5 years, as the evidence is only sufficient to convict you of a lesser crime.
Solitary confinement
What should your strategy be? As a selfish and rational individual, you should talk. If your partner also talks, then your confession gets you 8 years instead of 10. If your partner doesn't talk, then it gets you 2 years instead of 5. Talking is your dominant strategy, it leaves you better off than silence, no matter what your partner does.
The trouble is that your partner, just as selfish and rational as you, will come to the same conclusion. You'll both decide to talk and get 8 years each. Paradoxically, your dominant strategy will leave both of you worse off than silence would have done.
The prisoner's dilemma is one of game theory's most famous games because it illustrates why people might refuse to cooperate when they would be better off doing so. One real-life situation that is similar to the dilemma is an arms race between two countries, in which both countries increase their military might when it would be better for both to disarm.
The dilemma has been used extensively in mathematical research into altruism. Mathematical research into altruism? Yes, that's right! Using the dilemma as the basis for computer simulations in which simulated individuals can either cooperate or defect has shown how altruism can evolve as a survival strategy, even in large societies.

Kneeling in the mud by a country road on a cold drizzly day recently, we finally appreciated the wonder that is a lever. We were trying to change a flat tyre and even jumping on the end of the wheel wrench wouldn't budge the wheel nuts. But when the AA arrived they undid them with ease, thanks to a wheel wrench that was three times the size of ours. There you have it ... size really does matter!
A lever is a truly remarkable device that can literally give any of us the strength of ten men. You can counteract 10 men pushing down on one side of a see-saw by applying just 1/10th of their force, as long as you are 10 times further from the see-saw's centre as they are. This is because the forces acting on a lever are proportional to the distances they are from the fulcrum. In this way a small amount of force moving a longer distance can move a large load over a smaller distance.
Levers are working hard all around us: in see-saws (where the fulcrum is between the loads), in wheel barrows (where the load is between the fulcrum and the force) and even in our very jaws (where the force is applied between the fulcrum and the load).
Archimedes was the first to mathematically describe how levers work and famously said: "Give me fulcrum and I shall move the Earth with a lever." And give us a long enough wheel wrench and we might just be able to change my next flat tyre for ourselves!

A polyhedron is the 3D version of a polygon. It's a solid object whose surface is made up of a number of polygonal faces. Two faces meet in an edge and the corners of a polyhedron are called vertices.
Euler's polyhedron formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a pretty amazing equation relating the number of edges, of vertices and of faces of a polyhedron:
The amazing thing is that this formula holds for all polyhedra, except for those that have holes running through them.
Using this formula, you can figure out quickly that there is no simple polyhedron (that is one without holes) with exactly seven edges. Similarly, there is no simple polyhedron with ten faces and seventeen vertices.
The formula also makes it possible to prove one of the most beautiful results in geometry, that there are only five Platonic solids.
Figure 7: The Platonic solids. From left to right we have the tetrahedon with four faces, the cube with six faces, the octahedron with eight faces, the dodecahedron with twelve faces, and the icosahedron with twenty faces.
Euler's polyhedron formula applies to solids that, in a topological sense, are equivalent to the sphere: you can turn each simple polyhedron into a sphere by smoothing out the edges and corners and making it round. But you can also look at the number for polyhedra that are topologically the same as a doughnut, or a doughnut with two, three, four or any number of holes. This number is called the Euler characteristic and it turns out that it is always equal to 2 minus 2 times the number of holes. So the Euler characteristic doesn't only tell us something about polyhedra, but also something very deep about the nature of shape and space in general.
You can find out more about Euler's polyhedron formula, including a proof, in this Plus article. And there's an interesting application to designing footballs in A fly walks around a football.

No, this isn't about Homer, but it's interesting anyway. Suppose you're trying to decide which university to go to. You find out that last year the university you're interested in admitted 30% of male applicants but only 21.3% of female applicants. Looks like a clear case of gender bias, so you're tempted to go somewhere else. But then you look at the figures again, this time broken up by department. The university only has two departments, maths and English. The English department admitted 40% of male applicants and 42% of female applicants. The maths department admitted 10% of male applicants and 11% of female applicants. So if you look at the figures by department, if anything there's bias in favour of women. What's going on?
This is an example of Simpson's paradox, which arises when you look at percentages without giving the actual numbers involved. Suppose the English department admits quite a high proportion of applicants, while the maths department is more choosy and admits only a small proportion. Now suppose that most of the male applicants apply to the English department. Then this drives up the overall percentage of successful male applicants, as English is easier to get into. Similarly, if most women apply to the maths department, then this lowers the overall percentage of successful women applicants, because maths is harder to get into. So it can happen that, although both departments favour women, the overall percentage of successful female applicants is lower than that for males.
Let's go back to the example: suppose that 100 men apply to the English department, so that means that 40 of them got in (40%). Suppose that only 50 women applied to the English department, so 21 of them got in (42%). Suppose the maths department had only 50 male applicants, so 5 got in (10%), and 100 female applicants, of which 11 got in (11%). Then the overall proportion of male applicants who were successful is 45/150 corresponding to 30%. For the women the overall proportion is 32/150 corresponding to 21.3%. Mystery solved.
This paradox isn't just a theoretical curiosity. In 1973 The University of California at Berkeley was sued for sex bias on the basis of figures that were an illustration of Simpson's paradox. It turned out that on the whole women had applied to more competitive departments and that's how the seemingly biased figures arose.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Syntax
- Griechisch (2)
- Präposition (2)
- Deutsch (1)
- Englisch (1)
- Kausativ (1)
- Khoisan (1)
- Nominalisierung (1)
- The properties of anticausatives crosslinguistically (2006)
- The causative/anticausative alternation has been the topic of much typological and theoretical discussion in the linguistic literature. This alternation is characterized by verbs with transitive and intransitive uses, such that the transitive use of a verb V means roughly "cause to Vintransitive" (see Levin 1993). The discussion revolves around two issues: the first one concerns the similarities and differences between the anticausative and the passive, and the second one concerns the derivational relationship, if any, between the transitive and intransitive variant. With respect to the second issue, a number of approaches have been developed. Judging the approach conceptually unsatisfactory, according to which each variant is assigned an independent lexical entry, it was concluded that the two variants have to be derivationally related. The question then is which one of the two is basic and where this derivation takes place in the grammar. Our contribution to this discussion is to argue against derivational approaches to the causative / anticausative alternation. We focus on the distribution of PPs related to external arguments (agent, causer, instrument, causing event) in passives and anticausatives of English, German and Greek and the set of verbs undergoing the causative/anticausative alternation in these languages. We argue that the crosslinguistic differences in these two domains provide evidence against both causativization and detransitivization analyses of the causative / anticausative alternation. We offer an approach to this alternation which builds on a syntactic decomposition of change of state verbs into a Voice and a CAUS component. Crosslinguistic variation in passives and anticausatives depends on properties of Voice and its combinations with CAUS and various types of roots.
- PP licensing in nominalizations (2008)
- In this paper we compare the distribution of PPs introducing external arguments in nominalizations with PPs introducing external arguments in the verbal domain. We show that several mismatches exist between the behavior of PPs in nominalizations and PPs in the verbal domain. This leads us to suggest that while PPs in the verbal domain are licensed by functional structure alone, within the nominal domain, PPs can also be licensed via an interplay of the encyclopaedic meaning of the root involved and the properties of the preposition itself. This second mechanism kicks in in the absence of functional structure.
- No objections to backward control? (2009)
- The aim of this paper is to address two main counterarguments raised in Landau (2007) against the movement analysis of Control, and especially against the phenomenon of Backward Control. The paper shows that unlike the situation described in Tsez (Polinsky & Potsdam 2002), Landau's objections do not hold for Greek and Romanian, where all obligatory control verbs exhibit Backward Control. Our results thus provide stronger empirical support for a theoretical approach to Control in terms of Movement, as defended in Hornstein (1999 and subsequent work).
- In support of long distance agree (2009)
- In the recent literature the phenomenon of long distance agreement has become the focus of several studies as it seems to violate certain locality conditions which require that agreeing elements in general stand in clause-mate relationships. In particular, it involves a verb agreeing with a constituent which is located in the verb's clausal complement and hence poses a challenge for theories that assume a strictly local relationship for agreement. In this paper we present empirical evidence from Greek and Romanian for the reality of long distance agreement. Specifically, we focus on raising constructions in these two languages and we show that they do not involve movement but rather instantiate long distance agreement. We further argue that subjunctives allowing long distance agreement lack both a CP layer and semantic Tense. However, since the embedded verb also bears phi-features, these constructions pose a further problem for assumptions that view the presence of phi-features as evidence for the presence of a C layer. Finally, we raise the question of the common properties that these languages have that lead to the presence of long distance agreement.
- From hierarchies to features : person splits and direct-inverse alternations (2006)
- In the recent literature there is growing interest in the morpho-syntactic encoding of hierarchical effects. The paper investigates one domain where such effects are attested: ergative splits conditioned by person. This type of splits is then compared to hierarchical effects in direct-inverse alternations. On the basis of two case studies (Lummi instantiating an ergative split person language and Passamaquoddy an inverse language) we offer an account that makes no use of hierarchies as a primitive. We propose that the two language types differ as far as the location of person features is concerned. In inverse systems person features are located exclusively in T, while in ergative systems, they are located in T and a particular type of v. A consequence of our analysis is that Case checking in split and inverse systems is guided by the presence/absence of specific phi-features. This in turn provides evidence for a close connection between Case and phi-features, reminiscent of Chomsky's (2000, 2001) Agree.
- Agent, causer and instrument PPs in Greek : implications for verbal structure (2008)
- In this paper we investigate the distribution of PPs related to external arguments (agent, causer, instrument, causing event) in Greek. We argue that their distribution supports an analysis, according to which agentive/instrument and causer PPs are licensed by distinct functional heads, respectively. We argue against a conceivable alternative analysis, which links agentivity and causation to the prepositions themselves. We furthermore identify a particular type of Voice head in Greek anticausative realised by non-active Voice morphology.
- The subject-in-situ generalization revisited (2007)
- The goal of this paper is to re-examine the status of the condition in (1) proposed in Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou (2001; henceforth A&A 2001), in view of recent developments in syntactic theory. (1) The subject-in-situ generalization (SSG) By Spell-Out, vP can contain only one argument with a structural Case feature. We argue that (1) is a more general condition than previously recognized, and that the domain of its application is parametrized. More specifically, based on a comparison between Indo-European (IE) and Khoisan languages, we argue that (1) supports an interpretation of the EPP as a general principle, and not as a property of T. Viewed this way, the SSG is a condition that forces dislocation of arguments as a consequence of a constraint on Case checking.

Of all the party tricks I've seen I think these are among the most impressive, but I do not believe in Ki and these 'demonstrations' of it don't convince me that it must exist for these to be possible. I have devised a test to see if they are really taking kicks on the nads as opposed to cheating and taking them on the but cheeks:
Instead of being kicked with the instep which leaves the possibility on a non-nads impact, kick with the ball of the foot/toe of shoe.
I wonder if they'd be willing to demonstrate their mastery of ki by this test, but alas I don't know where to ask them.
PS. The throat trick impresses the hell out of me.You are a total Douchbag. Train more, post nevermore.

Extra Aged Mimolette is a very hard cheese that has the same texture, flavor and spherical shape as Old Dutch Edam. Its main difference from Edam is its deep orange hue acquired from the addition of annatto, a natural food coloring. Mimolette is produced in bowling-ball shaped 6-pound spheres covered in a protective wax casing. Because of its hue, it is sometimes called the "Halloween Cheese." Its taste is gloriously sweet and tangy, owing to the high quality milk used in its manufacture.
Extra Aged Mimolette is very popular throughout France, Holland and other export markets around the world. It is enjoyed by both the most timid cheese novice and the serious connoisseur. This variety is aged for six months and is quite flavorful. Slice it thin!

Now, more than 25 years later, Bradford Marine operates three high-volume dealerships in Arkansas and one in Texas.
Knox Bradford credits the success and continued growth of his dealership to the Tracker Marine Group NO HAGGLE NO HASSLE® pricing policy, the perceived value of TRACKER boat brands and his ability to align himself with Bass Pro Shops.

The Aiken County Sheriff's Office continues to search for a suspect following a reported home invasion this morning.
Capt. Troy Elwell said 30 units responded within five minutes to Red Tip Lane off Wire Road after the incident was reported at 8:07 a.m.
The homeowner told deputies that she had left her home for a trip to a store earlier. After returning, she was walking up her front steps when a man grabbed her from behind and held a knife on her as he followed inside, police said. The woman told police the man stole her jewelry and told her he would kill her if she came out after him.
A plane and a tracking team are searching for a suspect. The man is described by the homeowner as a black male, 6-feet-tall, wearing a black sweatshirt, a black ski mask and baggy blue jeans.
Red Tip Lane enters into a large trailer park with about 75 trailers, Elwell said. Deputies have yet to locate the suspect or witnesses to the crime.
Elwell said the incident was reported at the time of a shift change at the Sheriff's Office - leading to a quick response to Red Tip Lane, only about two miles away.
Anyone with any information related to this incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 642-1761 or contact CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372). Callers will remain anonymous and could be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Comments about 20V MAX Cordless Lithium-Ion 1/2-in Impact Wrench with Detent Pin Anvil Kit:
I bought seven of these tools for my garage door installation crews. We have always used corded impacts in the past due to the short battery life of the cordless impacts. Since getting the first of these 20V Max Lithium Impacts about 8 months ago my guys have not touched the corded impacts and they are rusting in the trucks. The battery life on these tools are great and they are light and easy to carry around in a tool belt.

On February 8th, 2012 Ronald D. Devin, of Antlers, will enter a plea of guilty to the murder of William Riley Seale, who was found deceased in his residents.
Devin will be found guilty of 2nd Degree Murder and be sentenced with 37 years imprisonment. Devin accepted this deal after law enforcement visited with the victims family and they agreed to the terms and wished to avoid going to trial.
On September 2, 2011 deputies with the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Department were dispatched to the home of William R. Seale, on Cornelius Road, at around 4:00 p.m. This is where they found the body of Seale, Jr, a 67 year old white male, of Antlers.
According to Special Agent Chris Dill of the OSBI (Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations) Seale had died of multiple gun shot wounds from a 20 gage shotgun. Seale was shot in the chest and abdomen areas.
The reports filed in district court stated that Ronald David Devin, a 48 year old white male from Antlers, entered Seale's home with the intent on robbing him and then after entry, during the robbery he shot and killed Seale.
He was later seen in Jim Ray's Quick Stop with a bag with money in it and what appeared to be blood on the bag. Devin was arrested at around 7:00 p.m. Upon his arrest officers removed a .45 caliber pistol from the waistband of his pants.
Devin admitted to going to Seale's residence to kill Seale on Friday night. He also confessed to shooting Seale three times in the chest area with a 20 gauge shotgun that was taken from an acquaintance's residence. Devin also admitted to taking several firearms and other items from Seale's residence
after killing him.
On September 3rd, OSBI conducted a search of the property where Devin was staying. Located inside an abandoned trailer behind Devin's motor home were several firearms and fixed blade hunting knives as well as a metal box containing several knives and ammunition. Etched on one knife was TO: RILEY, FROM: JESSIE.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A long list of features including a beautiful beachfront, eight restaurants, and a spa -- but confusion comes from a two-in-one resort concept, and a separate VIP-style hotel that feels classist.
"Is this your first time at Secrets?" the guard asks me as I pull up to the resort's gate in my tiny rental car. "Why yes, yes, it is," I respond, as the guard hangs a parking pass from my rearview mirror and points me toward the hotel entrance to my left. Following his finger, I understand the reason for his unsolicited help: To my left, there is indeed a hotel entrance. And yet, to my right, there is another entrance, almost a mirror image of the first, but with a sign that says "St. James" instead of "Wild Orchid."
After I give the valet my name, the complex situation soon grows even more complicated, as I am directed to yet ''another'' entrance, which says "Preferred Club." Wild Orchid's Preferred Club Hotel, it turns out, has a separate, fancier lobby that features a private concierge, two computers with free Internet, and a Club Lounge with a small buffet and full bar that are stocked around the clock. Preferred Club guests continue to get the star treatment throughout the property -- they have access to a separate pool with nicer lounge chairs and sun beds, free Wi-Fi access codes, free daily newspapers, and upgraded minibars and bath products in the rooms. Perhaps nicest of all are Wild Orchid's Preferred Club Swim-out Rooms, which, unlike any other rooms on the property, feature terraces with private enclaves off of the Preferred Club pool.
Some may find the division between the "regular" and "Preferred Club" guests a bit classist, and Premiere guests must show a key card whenever entering Premiere areas. (Though if you saunter in like you own the joint, it's possible no one will challenge you.) This can be a confusing enough system for guests in itself, but compounding this confusion is the fact that most of Wild Orchid's amenities are shared with the Secret St. James next door. (And St. James also has its own Premiere section.)
Both resorts use the same spa, which is expansive with a salon, boutique, juice bar, relaxation room with hot and cold pools, and more than a dozen treatment rooms. Also shared are a shopping complex, Internet center, coffee shop, casino, game room, tennis courts, fitness center, and a Promenade featuring several restaurants, bars, and a music lounge. In the end, what mostly sets the two resorts apart is decor -- Wild Orchid is slightly more contemporary in design, and also offers the coveted Preferred Club Swim-out Rooms. Rates are also higher here than at the St. James, which seems a bit ridiculous considering how much between the two properties is shared.
Situated on a small peninsula away from other Montego Bay resorts
Many guests at the Secrets Wild Orchid never leave the resort, and with eight restaurants, five bars, a casino, shops, a theater, and a spa on-site, there's little reason to. The resort is close enough to the airport that guests can avoid expensive taxis, but those who want to explore Jamaica outside of Secrets Wild Orchid's all-inclusive bubble might be disappointed, as very little is nearby.
Spacious suites with sophisticated contemporary decor and balconies
The rooms at Secrets Wild Orchid have sophisticated contemporary decor, and extras such as four-poster beds, MP3 docks, flat-screen TVs, soaking tubs, massive rainfall showerheads, and stocked minbars. The Premiere Swim-Out Room has direct private access to the Premiere pool, as well as a whirlpool tub on the balcony, and Suites feature massive Jacuzzis in both the bathroom and on the balcony. Even the least expensive rooms, however, are attractive and high-end.
Those guests staying in the Preferred Club section of the hotel get some additional freebies: free Wi-Fi access codes, more goodies in the minibars, and access to all of the VIP areas such as the Club Lounge (which has a non-stop buffet and help-yourself bar), and the Preferred Club pool, which is quieter and nicer than the main pool.
Couples may appreciate the "Secrets box" in each room, which is essentially a non-moving dumbwaiter that allows guests to order room service without actually having to open the door for delivery. Rather, the meal is placed in the box and left for guests to access via a second door in their room.
Isolated from other resorts on a peninsula
Unlike certain popular strips along the northern shore of Montego Bay and Seven Mile Beach in Negril, Secrets' beach doesn't share its views or borders with any other properties. Instead, the resort's peninsular spot is secluded and serene, and guests have the run of the shore.
The beach has fine white sand and clear, warm water, and numerous wicker lounge chairs are on offer, as well as palapas for shade. Activities on the beach include beach volleyball, badminton, and horse shoe. Certain sections of the beach are quite narrow.
Though part of the beach is exclusive to the Preferred Club, no one was enforcing the separation.
A main pool, a Preferred Club pool, and a pool at neighboring Secrets St. James -- all with beach views
The main pools for both Secrets Wild Orchid and Secrets St. James are open to guests at either property (or at least, no one was stopping guests from moving between the two). Both are rather crowded, and each features its own swim-up bar and open-air restaurant.
However, the Preferred Club pool, which features swim-up guestrooms, an interweaving river-like design, and super-close proximity to the beach, is off-limits to non-VIP guests. Placards stating that guests must prove their Preferred Club status (via their labeled room card key) upon entering this fancier pool area are scattered around the perimeter, ensuring everyone knows their place. Of course, I walked back and forth between the two without getting asked for ID. Whether that was because of lax enforcement, or because the staff recognized me, is unclear.
Expansive spa with extensive treatment menu and tons of extras
The Secrets Wild Orchid spa features more than 20 treatment rooms and palapas, as well as a menu of specialties that ranges from facials and mud baths to hydrotherapies and traditional massages. Perks include a juice bar, a relaxation room with hot and cold pools, a yoga garden, a hair salon, and a boutique. Locker rooms also include saunas, steam rooms, pressure showers, and Swiss showers.
Eight restaurants -- and yet a no-reservations policy means extra-long waits for a table
It might be hard to imagine that a resort boasting a total of eight restaurants would have a problem with crowds, but I witnessed guests hungrily waiting outside of every eatery on the restaurant promenade. The restaurants are shared with the neighboring Secrets St. James resort, which effectively doubles the number of guests trying to get a table. The restaurants do not accept reservations, so guests wishing to avoid a wait might want to eat early; I saw one smart couple dressed to the nines and heading to dinner at six o'clock.
The food itself, however, is impressive for an all-inclusive. There are Mexican, Italian, Jamaican, Asian-fusion, and French a la carte restaurants, as well as the obligatory buffet restaurant. Unlike a lot of other all-inclusive resorts, the atmosphere doesn't feel strip mall-esque; each restaurant is housed in its own freestanding structure and has distinct decor.
Even top-shelf drinks are free, but the bars get packed
Secrets Wild Orchid has five bars, including the main pool's swim-up bar, a piano bar, a music lounge, and a lobby bar. Drinks are covered in the all-inclusive rates, and that goes for the top-shelf stuff as well as the cheap rum punch and Red Stripes. Crowds jockeying for the bartenders' attention start to form in the late afternoon, and it only gets worse as the evening wears on. The Secrets Wild Orchid shares its bars with neighboring Secrets St. James, and guests often take to ordering two (or three) drinks at a time to ensure they don't get too low while waiting for their next opportunity to order another round.
Standout services and freebies galore
A fitness center and plenty of water- and land-based sports
Secrets Wild Orchid shares its fitness center and tennis courts with Secrets St. James. While the fitness center -- which includes cardio equipment, dumbbells, free weights, and cables -- certainly doesn't seem to be large enough for both resorts, which have a combined 700 rooms, it was actually quite empty both times I visited.
Other activities are abundant, including free non-motorized water sports, dance classes, chess, darts, board games, croquet, billiards, yoga, aerobics classes, cooking classes, ping-pong, and jogging trails. There are also activities that come at an additional cost, such as scuba diving (first pool lesson is free), horseback riding, deep sea fishing excursions, and golfing at a nearby championship course.
More than 17,000 square feet of meeting, event, and ballroom space
Secrets Wild Orchid provides on-site planners that can coordinate events and meetings both large and small. There are nearly a dozen different spaces that can be used for cocktail receptions, banquets, performances, business retreats, or classes. Packages are available, and guests can also create custom events.
Several on-site pavilions and a host of indoor venues for island nuptials
Weddings are big business in Jamaica, and Secrets Wild Orchid is definitely in on the game, providing an exhaustive list of services ranging from on-site wedding coordinators to pressing and steaming the bride and groom's gown and tux. Three packages are offered, and made-to-order weddings can also be arranged. Prices for packages start around $1,000 for up to 10 guests, and all packages include a wedding cake, sparking wine, a bouquet and boutonnière, an officiant, and free nights that go toward a future anniversary stay.
While ceremonies generally take place in one of several wedding pavilions along the beach, a vast array of meeting rooms and ballrooms are available for cocktail hours, receptions, and rehearsal dinners.
Secrets' website also features a registry option in which marrying couples can request gifts be given in the form of credits toward a honeymoon at the resort.
The sprawling Secrets Wild Orchid is one of the more luxurious adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Montego Bay, and has a laundry list of property features, including eight restaurants and five bars, and a host of activities: a theater, a spa, a water sports and dive center, a shopping center, and a casino. But the resort shares virtually all of its amenities with the next-door Secrets St. James, and some of the best amenities and freebies are reserved only for the VIP guests staying in the "Premiere" part of the resort.

Over the weekend, Jasmine Herron, an artist and regular city cyclist was killed when she was knocked into the path of an oncoming bus by a careless driver's opening car door. Reading about the tragedy in BikeBlogNYC made me rethink my principle of not sharing stories about cycling accidents. Should I send this to those who follow me on Facebook and Twitter, Clonidine paypal. Should I link to it from my blog. 40mg Clonidine, Less than two weeks ago, I was waiting on my bike at an intersection when a pedestrian stepped out in front of a fast-moving truck. As a cyclist, you learn to be on guard for everything going on around you--you just can't take anything for granted, buy Clonidine Over The Counter. As the cross walk signal turned, Clonidine ebay, I saw a truck coming, 100mg Clonidine, not slowing. The pedestrian saw the light turn, stepped forward, Clonidine mexico, and looked down, 10mg Clonidine, lost in thought. For about a second I watched him, thinking he would look up and see the oncoming truck, 500mg Clonidine. Nothing. Buy Clonidine Over The Counter, He marched forward, lost in his own thoughts. Clonidine australia, I don't remember thinking, I just remember doing. I called to him, Clonidine japan. Watch out. Clonidine us, WATCH. OUT. He froze, a few seconds before the truck gassed it through the long-past-red light and passed him with what looked like inches to spare, buy Clonidine Over The Counter. The pedestrian, an older man in work clothes, 50mg Clonidine, stepped back onto the curb, 250mg Clonidine, turned, and stared at me in disbelief. He didn't say anything, Clonidine craiglist.
"That truck just blew through that light like it was nothing." I said to him out of a need to say something. Clonidine canada, He continued to stare. Buy Clonidine Over The Counter, "Thank you." He said, emphatically, weighing the words in hopes that I would understand what he didn't, couldn't say for fear of fully realizing his own mortality... for saving my life.
Out of necessity, cyclists train themselves to be hyper aware of what's going on around them, 30mg Clonidine. I can feel a car coming up beside or behind me. Clonidine usa, Cyclists and pedestrians are more exposed, more at risk, more underprivileged on the roads, 200mg Clonidine. But we're also more in tune, 1000mg Clonidine, more aware, more adept at recognizing our surroundings. We wheeze in the exhaust, but we also smell the flowers--without even having to stop, buy Clonidine Over The Counter. We break and we bleed, Clonidine coupon, but we live and breathe in a way you just can't inside a car. Clonidine uk, In my opinion, it's only a sacrifice when others don't respect our space or our lives.
I don't retweet accident-related obituaries, 20mg Clonidine, even when they touch me, 150mg Clonidine, because I'm unwilling to give anyone an excuse not to get on their bike. I'm simply unwilling to link to a story that could lead someone to hang up their bike in the garage and grab the keys to their car instead. Buy Clonidine Over The Counter, Life is fragile. Fate is fickle, Clonidine overseas. Ride like your life depended on it, Clonidine india, smell, sense, feel your surroundings, 750mg Clonidine, never stop relishing the moment you're in right now. Cancer might get you. A heart attack might get you. Yeah, a car might get you. But a life lived in fear is no life at all.
So get out on your bike and ride for Jasmine. I think it's what she would have wanted.

The face of Downtown Bryan has been changing a lot over the last few years, and it's about to change again.
Residential properties are going in at a couple of locations. On Main Street, construction is underway on lofts. A few blocks away at the corner of 24th and Houston will be new town homes. A groundbreaking will be held Saturday for the BCS Modern Living development.
It's the first major residential development in the Downtown area in more than a quarter century.
Bryan Deputy City Manager Joey Dunn said this next step is a very important for downtown.
"The cities that have really been successful in revitalizing their downtown area is lots of residential, and you want people down here 24/7," Dunn said. "That's the kind of residential Chris (Lawrence, BCS Modern Living CEO) and his group are doing."
The groundbreaking will be at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at 503 E. 24th Street.
Since 2002, $25 million in infrastructure investment has helped make for a $98 million market value increase for downtown, according to the city. Nineteen new businesses have come to that part of town since 2010.

NEW YORK — You want resolution on the "30 Rock" finale?
You're gonna get it. Sort of. At least, the sort befitting "30 Rock," with its loopy storytelling mixed with joy in spoofing the culture of TV.
Closure, if that's what it is, comes in a two-minute postscript on this hour episode (airing today at 8 p.m. on NBC).
But maybe you should just stop reading right now, you "30 Rock" purists who don't want to know what happens or might seem to happen, however wacked-out and ironic it may be.
Which, among other things, includes this sly touch: a reference to the snowglobe revelation with which the medical drama "St. Elsewhere" famously concluded a quarter-century ago.
But there's more. Just before the final fade-out, NBC President Kenneth the former Page (Jack McBrayer) is pitched a new comedy series taking place right there at network headquarters, 30 Rock.
Hmmm. This is no ending. It's a Mobius strip.
The comic coda suggests where many of the characters might be a year from now. But that's not the point of the finale, which mostly wants to have fun. And does.
This last yahoo of "30 Rock" after seven brilliant seasons takes delight in tracking the unraveling of its characters as the show-within-the-show, "TGS," comes to an end with its own final broadcast.
After that, of course, its producer, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), its stars, Jenna Moroney and Tracy Jordan (Jane Krakowski and Tracy Morgan) and other members of the "TGS" staff will have to leave the cozy, kooky nest of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The prospect of doing that terrifies them all.
Meanwhile, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), the newly minted CEO of NBC parent Kabletown, is battling his own existential crisis.
He has gotten the top job he wanted all his life. And as the ultimate Republican capitalist, he has even scored a lash-out from a treasured enemy, House Republican Leader Nancy Pelosi.
"Jack Donaghy is an economic war criminal," Pelosi is seen declaring on a cable news network. "If the Democratic Party controls Congress, I will see to it that he is punished in the worst way possible: by having to come down here and listen to us."
Even with total victory under his belt, Jack still feels unfulfilled. What else can he do? He resigns from the company and begins a journey to discover what might truly make him happy.
Jack's despair includes the fear that he's lost Liz as a friend.
"I don't have that many people in my life," he sobs to Jenna. "I spend Christmas alone in the Hamptons drinking Scotch and throwing firecrackers at Billy Joel's dog."
Out of a job, Liz is miserable as a stay-at-home mom of adopted twins. Conversely, her husband, Criss (played by guest star James Marsden), hates steady employment.
"It's OK to want to work," he consoles Liz. "One of us has to. We just got it backwards: You're the dad."
"I do like ignoring your questions while I try to watch TV," Liz agrees.
(Interestingly, a year hence Liz is seen back at work producing a dumb sitcom with her children in tow. Where is hubby Criss?)
During the finale, "30 Rock" doesn't hesitate to snack on its own past.
Liz and Tracy have an awkward heart-to-heart at the strip club where Tracy lured her on their first encounter on the series' premiere.
And a high point of the episode comes when Jenna revisits the project she starred in years ago, a film with the lips-scrunching title "Rural Juror" (which inevitably comes out sounding something like "ruhr juhr").
On the farewell "TGS," Jenna performs the theme from her new musical adaptation of "Rural Juror," with, inevitably, almost nothing she sings recognizable as English.
It serves as a reminder: "30 Rock" wasn't just a brilliant comedy series. It also forged a comic language of its own.

I liked the Mist. I told my son to watch it, he and a couple of his buddies from his high football team watched it. I think their description was "intense but depressing". They enjoyed it.
You know, that is a very good question. Sitting here reading this I am trying to think of a truly good horror movie that has come out in recent years and I'm having some trouble. You really don't get good horror from the major Hollywood studios anymore because they're mostly just interested in churning out remakes to make a quick buck, and the few originals they do produce are pretty limp. Independent films are the way to go because you're getting films made by people who passionate about the genre. But you still have to search through a lot of junk to find the good stuff. Really, the movies that I've enjoyed the most recently that are classified as horror are actually as much comedy as horror. Here's a few movies that I've really enjoyed in recent months and would recommend to anyone:
I Sell The Dead - An enjoyable little horror/comedy about grave robbers. Reminded me a bit of my beloved 1960's Hammer films
Suck - A Canadian rock and roll horror comedy about vampires. Quite funny and even has some good music in it, as well as cameos from several notable rock music persons. Also has Malcolm McDowell which
is always a plus.
Burke and Hare - Based on a pair of historically famous grave robbers, starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis. A nice little black comedy that is also quite Hammer like. Directed by John Landis who shows
that he hasn't lost his touch.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - Hilarious slasher film parody. Loved it.
The Cottage - Slasher film and black comedy with Andy Serkis. Quite amusing.
Have any of you seen these films? I would recommend these highly, but as I said, they are as much comedies as horror. As for a straight out and out good horror film, I'm drawing a blank.
Just remembered, I loved The Woman In Black. Very good film. Great atmosphere, and it's the only movie in a good long while that has actually given me the creeps. And when the opening credits were going on and I saw that it was a Hammer Films production I got a little teary eyed.
I watched 5 movies at the weekend:
1. Silent Hill: Revelation. Watched this movie in the theater two months ago, now finally re-watched it. Well, my opinion has not changed, they could have made it much, much better, considering how much noise they were making over it.
2. The Butterfly Effect. Great movie, makes me think about the things I would like to change in the past sometimes, and after watching the movie I realize that things go the way they should, if anything is changed in the past, it may involve absolutely unpredictable things in the present. Every trifle leaves a mark on our lives, and every trifle is as important. Wonderful movie.
3. Paranormal Activity 4. I thought it would be worse, given that I did not really like the third part. But this one is rather good. It is not as scary as the first one, but it is not bad. Sure, nothing is perfect, some things in it could be better, but that's okay the way it is.
4. Veronica Decides to Die. Good movie, makes me think about the meaning of life itself.
5. Dead Silence. Very quality horror movie, it is really scary, creepy and terrifying. And the story itself is very interesting, really worth watching.
Latest movies I saw:
White Squall- directed by Ridley Scott with a cast of mostly unknowns (at the time) and all put in great performances. Jeff Bridges is the star and he is always good. I picked up a bluray copy for only $2 at a used bookstore and couldn't pass it up. Saw this years ago and even tho I knew where it was headed it was still a good movie!
Marvin's Room- starring Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton and a young Leonardo DiCaprio. A very good heart-warming movie that disappeared from the theaters quickly, not because of it's actors but more for the storyline. Meryl plays a single Mom of two boys who must return to her home that she left over 20 years ago to help take care of her invalid (God, I hate that word!) Dad and her sister who has just found out that she has leukemia. For such a sad subject matter, there is alot of humor in it. Great acting by all!
I recently watched "The Watch", Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan. This was so dumb! I was disappointed in all of the crude humour that was completely uncalled for. I am not a prude by any means but it was a cheap attempt at laughs. I love Ben and Vince, this was way below their standards.

|Stir-Fried Turkey (or chicken) with Sugar Snap Peas and Peppers, or use any veggies you'd like!
Principles of Chinese Cooking
- Preheat the wok (before you put the oil in).
- Season the oil (with whole pieces of garlic and sometimes ginger root, which you remove when you add the food to be cooked).
- Symmetry of cut (all pieces must be cut the same size and shape).
- Have all ingredients cut and sauces mixed before you cook.
- Use very high heat and cook fast.
Stir Fried Turkey (or chicken) with Sugar Snap Peas and Peppers
(Makes about 2 servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)
8 oz. thinly sliced raw turkey breast cutlets (or sliced chicken breast)
1 egg white
1 1/2 T Soy Sauce
1-2 T peanut oil (more or less, depending on your wok or pan)
2 cloves garlic, each cut into 2-3 flat slices
several slices fresh ginger root
1 cup sliced sugar snap peas (or snow peas)
1 cup thinly sliced red, yellow, or orange bell pepper (or use other vegetables of your choice as long as they cook quickly)
Cooking Sauce Ingredients:
1 T Soy Sauce
1 T Rice Wine Vinegar (not seasoned vinegar which contains sugar)
1 T water
1 tsp. ground ginger root (not dried ginger; this is sometimes called ginger puree)
1 tsp. Sriracha Sauce (optional)
Add more oil as needed and heat about 30 seconds. Add the turkey and stir fry until well cooked, about 4 minutes. It won't get very brown, but the inside should be well cooked. Add the vegetables back into wok, heat one minute, then add cooking sauce and cook 2-3 minutes more, until sauce is partly evaporated and coats the food.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
well I read something... and my belief in UR is pretty destroyed right now. :(http://bible.com/bibleanswers_result.php?id=140
The main scripture, upon which they base their false doctrine, is the one found in Colossians 1:20: "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." They declare that all things in this verse includes those that have gone to hell and they will all be reconciled back to God; however, if we look at the verses in the proper context, we can see that the "all things" mentioned here are "all things in Christ." Obviously, those outside of Christ, who have rejected Him, are not included in the word "all" in this verse. Notice that the verse says, "things in earth and in heaven," not things in hell, that God will reconcile.
Circular reasoning is a formal logical fallacy in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in one of the premises. For example:"Only an untrustworthy person would run for office. The fact that politicians are untrustworthy is proof of this."Such an argument is fallacious, because it relies upon its own proposition "politicians are untrustworthy" in order to support its central premise. Essentially, the argument assumes that its central point is already proven, and uses this in support of itself.Circular reasoning is different from the informal logical fallacy begging the question, as it is fallacious due to a flawed logical structure and not the individual falsity of an unstated hidden co-premise as begging the question is.
I believe I've seen this article before
Their false reasoning is that they try to interpret the word "bow" to mean "worship" when the Greek word used here "kampto," simply means to "bend" or "bow." They say those in hell (under the earth) will "worship" God, after they have been set free from hell. This verse simply means that those in hell, all demons and the devil himself, will bend and yield to the will of God. The Bible tells us that devils tremble and believe, so they certainly will bow at the presence of God. James 2:19: "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
I was blessed when I first became a Christian because I found a booklet that taught universal salvation and so when I read the bible, to me there was no concept of eternal hell torture, sometimes I thought maybe annihilation is the most biblical, for it takes the middle ground between ET and UN, but yet the Annihilation theory sometimes falls short when compared to the UN scriptures, but the UN idea still had/has a big problem for me and that is the exact window of where/when will god give another chance to the unbeliever. I am still working on this but I believe I am on too something as God showed me something incredible last night
Will a hardcore Satanist accept Christ as saviour, will someone like Hitler, this is presumptious teaching.
Freewill is a hot topic.You may want to seek a moderators council before proceeding.
SUMMATION OF WHAT YOU MUST ACCEPT TO EMBRACE TURATo embrace this heretical doctrine, one must do the following:
1.) Attack the most revered translation of the Bible, the King James Version, stating it is full of mistranslations regarding the following words: "hell," for ever," and "eternal." These words must be discounted to prove this doctrine. While it is true that the English word "hell" in the 1611 KJV Bible had a different meaning than what our English word means today since it was less specific making it more difficult to determine whether "hell" is coming from the Greek word, "Hades" (the unseen world of the dead) or the Greek word, "Gehenna" (the place of everlasting fire) in the New Testament. In spite of this difficulty, the Bible is clear in Revelation 20:11-15 that the temporary hell "Hades" will give up its dead to the everlasting hell "Gehenna." Later in this article I will deal with this in detail.
2.) Disregard the words of Jesus Himself, as He speaks numerous times about an eternal hell in the New Testament.
3.) Throw out all the rules of Bible interpretation based on the "law of first mention." All cults claim to have new revelation outside of the Bible's clear teachings and fail to build on the foundational truths of the Bible. They also take verses out of context and discount verses that have previously mentioned a truth prior to the verse in question (the law of first mention). In this case, if the Bible has already clearly defined an eternal hell in one place, it may not mention it in later places. Proper Biblical interpretation would refer to where this subject was first mentioned, in order to build upon that previously mentioned truth. This applies to all subjects in the Bible.
4.) Refuse the counsel and instruction of the five-fold ministry. They do not submit to true church leadership, as those in TURA emphatically claim their revelation is greater than the foundational doctrines established throughout church history. They are caught up in a "wind of doctrine" because they have not yielded to proper discipleship.

"Tiny Prints has provided great customer service and consistent phenomenal quality whenever we order our family invitations or cards. I continue to use this company for all my stationary needs again and again!"
"This card looked beautiful. We chose the bronze color foil. The quality of the paper was nice & thick enough. I felt the color of the prints were a little diluted but that could be because it was on matte paper. Overall, very satisfied! Tinyprints provided excellent customer service."
"The tinyprints website made choosing the card and all the details quick and painless. Cards are perfect! We did not go with the scalloped edges as shown here. Love the backing. Received before the date that they had stated! Will do again next year :-)"
"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"This card was absolutely amazing. The quality,texture and over all design was perfect for my families holiday card. A ltitle pricy, especially when ordering a lot, but you get what you pay for. Loved them!"

since i got these extra lowers i have been trying to figure out what i want to build next.
i like the retro KISS type of builds and was going to build a ar-15 20" light weight to look like a late 60s-early 70s m16a1.
but brownells has the excellent daniel defense 4150 chrome lined 16" m4 government profile barrel with 1-7" twist on sale for $157 with 99 cent shipping.
so i may alter my plans and build a replica of a colt dissipator carbine 16" model 605--which looks very much like an A1 with a short barrel.
anybody build a dissy from a m4 barrel?
