While the natural response to a downpour may be to find shelter as quickly as possible, scientists have long argued that the situation is far more complicated than it appears.
Some have suggested that running or walking made little difference to your overall exposure to raindrops, but others have argued that an optimal speed may exist depending on the direction and strength of the wind.
Now an Italian physicist has complicated the problem further by arguing that the answer depends on another, previously unexplored factor: the body shape of the person in question.
Writing in the European Journal of Physics, Prof Franco Bocci explained that while running through a shower will get you to shelter quicker, walking may mean less rain falls on your front at any one time.
In calm conditions when rain falls directly downwards, or when there is a head wind blowing the rain towards you, Prof Bocci found that the most sensible solution would generally be to seek cover as quickly as possible.
When the rain blows in from behind, the best answer in theory would be to match your pace to the exact speed of the wind, meaning both your front and back would stay largely dry.
But in certain weather conditions the optimum strategy for staying dry becomes more complex, depending on factors including raindrop size and even a person's body shape, Prof Bocci added.
When the wind comes in from the side, he explained, thinner people are exposed to much less of the rain than larger people with a more rounded figure.
In such cases the fatter person should run as fast as they can to escape the rain while a thinner person who presents a smaller target would still be better matching their speed to the wind, he said.
Prof Bocci summarised his findings by telling the BBC: "Let's say that in general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can – not always, but in general.
"If you're really thin, it's more probable that there will be an optimal speed. Otherwise, it's better to run fast."
Prof David Tong, a Cambridge physicist who was not involved in the research, said: "It's surprisingly complicated, actually. The new factor that comes in is when you have some wind, so the rain is coming in and falling at an angle. Now it actually depends on the shape and size of your body as to what you have to decide to do."
Asked about the significance of the paper, he added: "It's not exactly the Higgs boson – I think it's just a fun bit of mathematics that a few people have been playing with."

Pagan and Wiccan Clubs in the University
And then some people see our sign "Pagan" and sign up without even talking to us -- they just know they want to be a part of this. (In theory, at least, since less than 10% of the people who sign up actually come to our meetings and events.)
While the city I live in has a one of the largest numbers of people who identify as Pagans per capita (in Canada), there is a generally high tolerance and acceptance for an obscure faith such as ours. Yet being on public display does leave us vulnerable.
Case in point: At our last Clubs Days, a man in his 40s, an immigrant, noticed a book on our table (Starhawk's The Spiral Dance), and seeing the word "dance" in the title, thought we were a dance club.
I explained to him that no, we are a religious club, and that spiral dancing is sometimes a part of ritual.
He mentioned he had just signed up for the ballroom dance club and wondered if I was going to join or if I had joined too.
No, I told him, but I hear it's lots of fun.
He said something about all the women in that club being so young, something about not mature like me... and immediately I was suspicious. This man was flirting with me, even though I had my wedding ring in plain sight. He signed up for our club, but I prayed he wouldn't show up.
Well, for our first meeting, he did show up. Even though I inserted mention of my husband several times through the conversation, he sat there patiently through the discussion, pretending to be interested in Paganism, but was obviously completely uninterested in doing any reading up on the topic (you know, as most Pagans do).
I told him there were tons of great websites and that our local public library has hundreds of books. He said he would rather talk to someone about it. I knew what he was getting at. I am obviously the elder of the group, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, I gave him my contact information.
He emailed me on a Monday, asking me to meet him that afternoon. I replied that I do not live in town, that I only come into town once or twice a week and would need more notice than a few hours. His next email asked me then if I would be coming into town tomorrow, if we could see a movie, and if getting home was difficult then I could stay over at his place.
I was shocked. This to me was a clear message that he was not interested in the club or even Paganism, that he was trying to pursue me romantically. I've been a target for unwanted sexual attention a lot in my life, so I have a rather strong intuition about it now and am seldom wrong. I called him on it -- told him I was married and asked if he was even interested in Paganism.
A few weeks went by with no response from him, so I considered him gone. But then the other day he did write again, saying no, he was not trying to pursue me, that he is married too... What he didn't do however is ask more about the club (did he notice his name had been taken off the mailing list?) or about Paganism in particular. He just wanted to spend time with me.
I asked him -- what if his wife knew that he had invited me, a woman he barely knows, to join a dance club, then to a movie, and to sleep over? In my mind, that leaves no doubt as to what his intentions were, but he pleaded Not Guilty. If my husband did that, I would be through the roof with rage, end of story. I asked this man to leave me alone, and he is harassing me still. I may have to seek help from Campus Security. I am glad, at least, that it was me this man was chasing and not one of the younger women.

The Unconventional Trumps the Expected as Peak Performances Announces 2012-13 Season
Peak Performances has been rapidly making Montclair State University a major cultural destination, even for New Yorkers. Nine premieres including stunning, often startling, new music, dance and theater works by composers David T. Little, Laurie Anderson, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Toshi Reagon; choreographers Benjamin Millepied, Richard Alston, Vusi Mdoyi, Jasmin Vardimon; directors Robert Wilson and Romeo Castellucci are among the highlights of the 2012/13 Peak Performances season. Peak is where exceptions rule.
"Even shockingly new ideas always have a history," said Peak Performances' Artistic Director Jedediah Wheeler, "which is what our 2012/13 season is planned to reveal. Would there be a David T. Little had there not been a Laurie Anderson or a Schubert? Would there have been a William Forsythe had not Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine broken important ground? Probably, but their work would also probably be different. These iconoclasts, these exceptions to the rule, while unique in their own creative spirit, owe a debt to pioneering artists whose work is now revered as classic. This is what we want to celebrate in the wide range that distinguishes this season's lineup."
David T.Little, Royce Vavrek, RoBert Woodruff, Judy Budnitz, Alan Pierson, DOG DAYS. September 29–October 7, Times: September 29 and October 6 at 8pm, September 30 and October 7 at 3pm, October 5 at 7:30pm.
The season opens September 29 with the long-anticipated world premiere of David T. Little's darkly comedic "DOG DAYS," which combines elements of opera, musical theater and rock-infused concert music to shape its horrifying prediction of the future. Set in an imagined, war-torn United States, the opera poses a series of dangerous questions: Is it madness, delusion, or sheer animal instinct that guides us through perilous times? If necessary, when should man yield to his animal instincts to survive? Based on a short story by Judy Budnitz, and performed by a cast of six singers and an actor, "DOG DAYS" is tough, funny, and ultimately, deeply humane. Royce Vavrek is the librettist and Alan Pierson, the music director. This Peak production is being produced in association with Beth Morrison Projects.
Benjamin Millepied/L.A. Dance Project, New Work by Benjamin Millepied, QUINTETT by William Forsythe, WINTERBRANCH by Merce Cunningham. October 25–28, Times: October 25, 26 at 7:30pm, October 27 at 8pm, October 28 at 3pm.
The east coast debut of the L.A. Dance Project, the new six-member company by Benjamin Millepied, one of the fastest rising stars on the international dance scene, takes place at Peak, October 25-28. The repertory features the revival of Merce Cunningham's still-controversial "WINTERBRANCH" (1964) set to La Monte Young's two-note score; William Forsythe's "QUINTETT" (1993) set to Gavin Bryar's looping "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet," and a premiere by Millepied (to be titled) set to a new score by his close musical collaborator Nico Muhly, with a visual design by painter Christopher Wool.
Richard Alstin Dance Company, A CEREMONY OF CAROLS, ROUGHCUT, UNFINISHED BUSINESS. December 13-16, Times: December 13, 14 at 7:30pm, December 15 at 8pm, December 16 at 3pm.
The United States premiere of Richard Alston's "A CEREMONY OF CAROLS" is scheduled for December 13-16 when the London-based Richard Alston Dance Company makes its Peak Performance debut. Premiered in February 2012, the dance, which reaffirms Alston's fame as one of contemporary dance's most original and musical choreographers, was created to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten. The award-winning Montclair State University chorus, featuring MSU students and directed by Heather J. Buchanan, will accompany the dance on stage, along with harpist André Tarantiles. The program also features "ROUGHCUT," a fiercely athletic dance set to the driving force of Steve Reich's score and "UNFINISHED BUSINESS," a lively, elegant work set to Mozart.
Robert Wilson, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Toshi Reagon, Jacqueline Woodson, ZINNIAS: THE LIFE OF CLEMENTINE HUNTER. January 26-February 3, Times: January 26 and February 2 at 8pm, January 27 and February 3 at 3pm, January 31 and February 1 at 7:30pm.

DURBAN UPDATE: Agreement in COP17 Climate Talks Will Likely Not Be Reached
Posted By Brit Liggett On December 7, 2011 @ 3:47 pm In Environment,global warming,News,Policy,Politics | No Comments
Representatives from over 190 countries across the world are still gathered in Durban, South Africa [1] and though the conversation about the impending climate crisis continues, many have lost hope for an agreement on a solution for this year. In a news conference of NGO experts from the United States today, hosted by U.S. Climate Action Network [2], there seemed to be no expectations for a global agreement on how to curb emissions. Some experts on the panel expressed a positive outlook toward the development of a Green Climate Fund that would provide developing nations with $100 million per year, starting in 2020 to fight climate change within their countries. Leaders have until Friday to come up with some significant progress or it will be on to another year of waiting before another unsuccessful set of talks.
"Coming into Durban, the U.S. government worked hard to dial down expectations. Heading into the final days that expectation for mild success hasn't changed," Jennifer Haverkamp, Director of the International Climate Program at Environmental Defense Fund [3], said at the Climate Action Network news conference this afternoon. "We are running out of time to sort out the big questions at the table."
She went on to note that Australia and South Africa had released information about personal emissions reduction goals within their own country right before or during the COP17 conference in Durban. She felt positive that other countries might do the same but openly pessimistic about the 194 nations gathered coming to a conclusion by Friday. Haverkamp, when asked by a reporter at Reuters what she thought the conference's final conclusion might be, she replied, "If I were willing to answer questions like that, I'd be willing to buy lottery tickets, too."
Jacqueline Patterson, Director of Environmental and Climate Justice Program at the NAACP [4] opened her remarks by describing the current climate-affected crises already happening around the world. This year, 43 U.S. states declared emergencies due to some sort of extreme weather, and the U.S. was not alone in being beaten by mother nature; countries around the world were afflicted as well. Patterson noted that in the United States, we have ample resources to clean up after these catastrophes, but other developing communities aren't as lucky. In addition to extreme weather, Patterson explained, our dependence on fossil fuel has a disproportionate effect on poor people. Coal mines and coal fire power plants are predominantly located in poor communities and poor nations where they increase levels of carcinogens in the air and destroy local environments.
Ilana Solomon, Senior Policy Analyst with ActionAid [5] USA, followed Patterson's comments with an update on the Green Climate Fund [6], a yearly fund meant to be established by the world's wealthiest nations to help poorer nations reduce their emissions and fight climate change. She noted that though there is universal agreement that the fund should be established, the richest nations are balking about their contributions to the $100 million per year fund. "An empty fund will not meet the needs of poor countries struggling in the face of climate change," Solomon said adding that the, "world bank says it is 7x cheaper to invest now than to mobilize emergency relief and pay for clean up process later."
Outside of the talks in Durban, world leaders and environmentalists are outraged at the lack of progress at the talks. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [7] (shown above, on right) said today that raising the money needed for the Green Climate Fund was not an option, even when the world's economy is in the precarious position that it is in now, raising the cash is, "an imperative. We have to do it." The United States and China are still the largest obstacles to the reaching of an agreement and most agree that they should put their political dreams aside for the good of the human race.
Jo Leinen, a German who represents the E.U. at the conference was at wits end with the China vs. U.S. battle [8] earlier today. "It is unacceptable and no more tolerable that this game is blocking the overall process. Now that China has done some moves, let's test their seriousness. I don't see the same commitment, the same signals from the U.S. The one is not yet ready; the other is not willing. We really have a problem," Leinen was quoted saying. China decided today that they might be willing to commit to lowering emissions after 2020 after all current commitments are met — most likely he was referring to the likely doomed Kyoto Protocol. He mentioned that even after 2020, he believed that poorer nations like China, and its counterparts should be treated differently in the agreement than richer nations, a statement which the United States has already said is not acceptable.
"It is important to keep in mind climate action can happen at a federal level, at a state level and at a local level. The State of California [9] has recently put into place comprehensive climate legislation. If [California] were a country it would be the 8th or 9th largest country in the world," Jennifer Haverkamp said alluding to the fact that she believes no global agreements will be met, so countries should start creating their own individual, ambitious emissions reductions plans.
Though no large agreement has been met the leaders have managed to agree on steps to limit the destruction of rain forests, assist in the sharing of green technology with developing nations and create a method by which each country's emissions can be quantified.

by Pastor Shane Montgomery
In this pamphlet the Word of God will be declaring for itself the truth that "Jesus Christ is God." This great Biblical truth will be presented in outline form. This topic can never be exhausted since Jesus Christ is "the Word of God" (John 1:1). Men may deny the Deity of Jesus Christ, but they cannot deny that the Bible plainly reveals Him as Jehovah God. The Scripture quotations will be from the King James Bible.
I. Jesus Christ is called "God."
Although Jesus Christ did not feel the need to repeatedly refer to Himself as God, or Jehovah, the Scriptures refer to Him as God in many instances.
The Old Testament prophesied of a coming virgin-born son who would be called Immanuel, or "God with us": Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
This prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus Christ: Matthew 1:21-23, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Emmanuel, God with us, was God manifest in the flesh who became a man that He might redeem man from his sin: I Timothy 3:16, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
The Word of God, Jesus Christ, is God in the flesh: John 1:1, 14, "In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and Word was God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us."
Isaiah revealed many other titles of Jesus Christ as God, and the Bible makes it clear that there is only one "true" God (see Deu 4:35; II Sam 22:32; Is 43:10; 44:6, 8; 45:21-22; I Cor 8:6; I Tim 1:17; 2:5) and one "Father" (see Is 40:28; Rom 16:26; Eph 4:6; I Thes 1:1; Jude 1), and that Jehovah is also referred to as mighty God (see Gen 49:24; Ps 50:1; 132:2,5; Is 10:20-21; Jer 32:18): Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Thomas called Jesus "God," and Jesus accepted the title: John 20:28-29, "And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
The Jews recognised that Jesus was claiming to be God: John 10:33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."
Paul referred to Jesus as God: Romans 9:5, "Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." Titus 2:13, "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."
John referred to Jesus as God: I John 5:20, "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."
Jeremiah referred to Jesus Christ as Jehovah God: Jeremiah 23:5-6, "Behold the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (Also see I Cor 1:30)
God Himself, in quoting Psalms 45:6, refers to the Son, Jesus Christ, as God: Hebrews 1:8, "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."
The blood that was shed by Jesus Christ is referred to as God's blood (see Zech 12:1-10; Eph 1:3-7): Acts 20:28, "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."
II. The Father and the Son are "One God."
Jesus Christ is the bodily manifestation of the Godhead, or Trinity (also see Col 1:15; Heb 1:3; I John 1:1-3): Colossians 2:8-9, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." I John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
Jesus declared His and the Father's oneness, stating that those that saw Him saw God (also see John 17:3, 10-11, 22): John 10:30, "I and my Father are one."
John 12:45, "And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me." John 14:8-9, "Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:23, "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (Bold mine)
The Father and the Son have one name: Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." (Bold mine). Genesis 1:26, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." (Bold mine)
The name of the Father and of Jesus Christ are coupled throughout the New Testament (also see I Thes 3:11; II Thes 2:16; I Tim 1:1; II Pet 1:1-2; Jude 21):
II Corinthians 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
III. Jesus Christ is Equal to God, and therefore He is God.
A. Jesus Christ is declared equal.
Not only does Jesus Christ possess the same names, power, offices, and attributes of God (see points IV, V, VI, VII), but He claimed Himself to be equal to God, and the Scriptures declare Him to be equal to and the same Jehovah God of the Old Testament.
The Jews recognised that Jesus was claiming equality with God: John 5:17-18, "But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God."
Jesus demanded equal honour with God: John 5:23, "That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father, He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him."
Jesus is declared to be equal with God: Philippians 2:6, "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God."
B. Jesus Christ is worshipped as only God is to be worshipped.
The Bible forbids the worship of anyone or anything but Jehovah God: Exodus 34:14, "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." (Also see Ex 20:3)
Jesus repeated this commandment in the New Testament: Matthew 4:10, "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." (Also see Lk 4:8)
In obedience to these commandments, Peter denied worship from believers: Acts 10:25-26, "And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."
Paul and Barnabas also denied worship: Acts 14:13-15, "Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein."
Herod was killed by God for accepting the worship of a god: Acts 12:21-23, "And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."
Even angels denied worship: Revelation 22:8-9, "And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of they brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God." (Also see Rev 19:10)
The wise men worshipped Jesus Christ: Matthew 2:11, "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh." (Also see Matt 2:2)
Jesus Christ freely accepted worship of men: Matthew 8:2, "And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." (Also see Matt 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 18:26; 20:20; 28:9, 17; Mk 5:6; Lk 5:8; 24:52; Jn 9:38; Acts 7:59)
At the name of Jesus every knee will bow, including angels, Satan, and spirits:
Philippians 2:10, "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth."
God commands the angels to worship Him: Hebrews 1:6, "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him." (Also see Rev 5:12)
C. Jesus Christ was tempted as only God could be tempted.
The Old Testament Israelites tempted God in the desert (see Ex 17:2; Num 21:6) and yet the New Testament says that they had tempted Christ: I Corinthians 10:9, "Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents."
D. Jesus Christ was blasphemed, as only God can be.
Paul, who had made havoc of the church before his conversion (see Acts 8:3), admitted after his conversion that he had been a blasphemer, and yet he had been serving Jehovah God as fervently as his knowledge allowed: I Tim 1:13, "Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief."
E. All was created for Jesus Christ, as it was for God.
All was created for Jehovah God: Proverbs 16:4, "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."
Yet, all was created for Jesus Christ: Colossians 1:16-18, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church."
F. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jehovah, or Jesus.
Isaiah prophesied that a messenger would prepare the way for Jehovah God: Isaiah 40:3, "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
Yet, in Matthew, the messenger (John the Baptist) prepared the way for Jesus Christ: Matthew 3:3, "For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
G. Jesus Christ is the object of salvation's call and the one for man to trust, as God is.
Joel the prophet told of the time when people would call upon Jehovah God to be saved: Joel 2:32, "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."

God is all-powerful, as only the true God can be: Jeremiah 32:27, "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" (Also see Gen 18:14; Job 42:2; Ps 33:9; Matt 19:26; Lk 1:37; I Pet 1:5; Rev 19:6)
Jesus Christ is all-powerful, as only the true God can be: Matthew 28:18, "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Also see Ps 45:3-5; Is 9:6; Matt 8:27; 10:1; Lk 5:17; Jn 5:21; 10:18; I Cor 1:24; II Cor 12:9; Phil 3:20-21; Heb 1:3; Rev 1:8)
H. Omnipresent
God is present everywhere, as only the true God can be: Jeremiah 23:24, "Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD." (Also see II Chr 6:18; Ps 139:7-10; Acts 17:27-28)
Jesus Christ is also present everywhere, as only the true God can be: Matthew 28:20, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Also see Matt 18:20; Jn 3:13; I Cor 1:2)
J. Omniscient
God knows everything that was, is, or will be, and He knows the thoughts of man, as only the true God can: Psalms 147:5, "Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite." (Also see I Ki 8:39; I Chr 28:9; Job 42:2; Ps 94:11; 139:1-6; Is 40:28; Jer 17:10; Ez 11:5; Dan 2:20; Rom 16:27; I Tim 1:17)
Jesus Christ also knows all things and the thoughts of man: John 21:17, "He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." (Also see Matt 9:4; 12:25; 22:18; 24:3-31; 25; 26:46; Mk 2:8; 11:2-6; 14:13-15; 22:10-13; Lk 5:22; 6:8; 9:47; Jn 1:48; 2:24-25; 4:16-19; 5:42; 6:64; 13:11; 16:30; 18:4; Acts 1:24; I Cor 1:24; Col 2:3; Rev 2:18, 23; Rev 5:12)
K. Righteous
The Bible states that there is none righteous: Romans 3:10, "There is none righteous, no, not one." (Also see I Ki 8:46)
God is righteous: Psalms 111:3, "His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever." (Also see Ps 7:9; 71:15; 112:4; 116:5; 119:137; 145:17; Is 51:8; Jer 12:1; Matt 6:33; Jn 17:25; Rom 1:17; Rom 3; 10:3; II Pet 1:1; Rev 16:5)
Jesus Christ is righteous: I John 2:1, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (Also see Ps 45:7; Is 11:4-5; 53:11; Jer 23:5; Lk 23:47; II Cor 5:21; Heb 1:9; II Pet 1:1; I Jn 2:29)
L. Sinless (Spotless)
God is without sin: Deu 32:4, "He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." (Also see Job 34:10; Hab 1:12-13; Matt 5:48; Jas 1:13; I Jn 1:5)
Jesus Christ is without sin: Hebrews 4:15, "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Also see Is 53:9, 11; 59:17; Jn 8:46; 18:38; II Cor 5:21; Heb 1:9; 7:26-28; 9:14; I Pet 1:19; 2:22; I Jn 3:5)
M. True
God the final authority of what is truth, is declared as true: John 3:33, "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true." (Also see Jn 7:28; 8:26; 17:3; II Cor 1:18; I Th 1:9; Rev 6:10)
Jesus Christ is also truth: John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (Also see Matt 22:16; Mk 12:14; Jn 1:14; 7:18; 8:14, 16; 15:1; I Jn 2:8; 5:20; Rev 3:7, 14; 19:11)
If Jesus Christ is plainly called God in the Word of God, is equal to God in every way, and possesses all of the attributes, power, names, and offices of God; then He is by declaration and by definition the one and only "God," for there can only be one all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God. That God is the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, Jehovah of the Old and New Testament; "The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace," Isaiah 9:6.

We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of 9,000,000 shares of common
stock in this offering at the initial public offering price of $12.00 per
share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses, will be approximately $97.0 million or $112.8 million if the
underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full. We will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling
The principal purposes of this offering are to create a public market for our
common stock, obtain additional capital, facilitate our future access to the
public equity markets, increase awareness of our company among potential
clients and improve our competitive position.
We do not have current specific plans for the use of the net proceeds from this
offering. However, we generally intend to use the balance of the net proceeds
from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We
also may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or license, or invest in,
products, services, technologies or other businesses. The amount and timing of
these expenditures will vary depending on a number of factors, including
competitive and technological developments and the rate of growth, if any, of
our business.
Pending their use, we plan to invest our net proceeds from this offering in
short-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments,
certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S.
government. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the
net proceeds from this offering to us, and investors will be relying on the
judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds.
The market for social commerce solutions is highly competitive. The competitive
dynamics of our market are unpredictable because it is at an early stage of
development, rapidly evolving, fragmented and subject to potential disruption
by new technological innovations.
We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include the
• product breadth and functionality;
• scope, quality and breadth of client base;
• amount and quality of content;
• service;
• price;
• reputation; and
• operating model efficiency.
We believe that we compete favorably on the factors described above. We compete
primarily against traditional marketing and advertising programs. Many
businesses remain hesitant to embrace social commerce solutions, such as
ratings and reviews, driven by a reluctance to display negative reviews about
their brands, products or services or about other brands displayed on their
websites. Additionally, some businesses have developed, or may develop in the
future, social commerce solutions internally. These businesses may consider
their internal solutions adequate, even if our solutions are superior.
We have several direct and indirect competitors that provide third-party social
commerce solutions, including companies like PowerReviews, Inc. and Revieworld
Ltd. Additionally, we face potential competition from participants in adjacent
markets that may enter our markets by leveraging related technologies and
partnering with other companies.
We may also face competition from companies entering our market, including
large Internet companies like Google, Inc. and Facebook, Inc., which could
expand their platforms or acquire a competitor. While these companies do not
currently focus on our market, they have significantly greater financial
resources and, in the case of Google, a longer operating history. They may be
able to devote greater resources to the development and improvement of their
services than we can and, as a result, may be able to respond more quickly to
technological changes and clients' changing needs.
Moreover, because our market is changing rapidly, it is possible that new
entrants, especially those with substantial resources or more efficient
operating models, more rapid product development cycles or lower marketing
costs, could introduce new solutions that disrupt the manner in which
businesses use online word of mouth and engage with consumers online to address
the needs of our clients and potential clients.
We cannot be certain that these competitors, both current and potential, will
not offer or develop services that are considered superior to ours or that
services other than ours will attain greater market acceptance.
We are a leading provider of social commerce solutions that help our clients
capture, display and analyze online word of mouth, including consumer-generated
ratings and reviews, questions and answers, stories, recommendations,
photographs, videos and other content about our clients' brands,
products or
services. Bazaarvoice, which literally means "voice of the marketplace," was
founded on the premise that online word of mouth is critical to consumers and
businesses because of its influence on purchasing decisions, both online and
offline. We enable our clients to place consumers at the center of their
business strategies by helping consumers generate and share sentiment,
preferences and other content about brands, products or services. Through our
technology platform, our clients leverage online word of mouth to increase
sales, acquire new customers, improve marketing effectiveness, enhance consumer
engagement across channels, increase success of new product launches, improve
existing products and services, effectively scale customer support and decrease
product returns.
Word of mouth influences consumers' decisions to purchase products and
services. Consumers often trust and rely on what other consumers say about a
brand, product or service more than traditional advertising, particularly if
they consider the content to be authentic and credible. The proliferation of
social networks, wikis, blogs and videos has given rise to the social web—a new
era of Internet-enabled social interaction. The emergence of consumer
interaction through the social web has significantly increased the volume and
availability of online word of mouth about products and services. This online
social interaction is proving to have a significant and growing influence on
both online and offline commerce. The rapid adoption of Internet-enabled mobile
devices is further amplifying the impact of online word of mouth by making this
content even easier, more convenient and faster to generate and access. As a
result, there has been a paradigm shift in marketing as traditional methods are
being disrupted and businesses are now seeking solutions that embrace online
word of mouth to more effectively engage and influence consumers.
Our solutions, provided via a Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, platform, enable
clients to:
• capture and display online word of mouth;
• engage consumers directly by answering product- or service-related
• analyze feedback and uncover critical insights from online word of
mouth; and
• distribute content among retail and other brand websites both within
and outside our network, which we refer to as syndication.
Our business model focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of a client
relationship. We make significant investments in acquiring new clients and
believe that we will be able to achieve a favorable return on these investments
by growing our relationships over time and ensuring that we have a high level
of client retention. As of January 31, 2012, we served 737 active clients,
including clients in the retail, consumer products, travel and leisure,
technology, telecommunications, financial services, healthcare and automotive
industries. We define an active client as an organization that has implemented
one or more of our solutions and from which we are currently recognizing
revenue, and we count organizations that are closely related as one client,
even if they have signed separate contractual agreements with us for different
brands or different solutions. As of January 31, 2012, we served eight of the
ten most valuable U.S. retail brands according to Interbrand's 2011 Best Retail
Brands study published in March 2011, 154 of the 2011 Internet Retailer 500 and
87 of the 2011 Fortune 500 companies, including 31 of the top 100 of the
Fortune 500. For the nine months ended January 31, 2012, we served over 92.7
billion impressions and have served over 297.5 billion total impressions since
our inception in May 2005. We define an impression as an instance of online
word of mouth delivered to an end user's web browser. We sell our solutions
through a direct sales team located globally in the markets we serve, including
the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany and Sweden.
In fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the nine months ended January 31, 2012,
we generated revenue of $22.5 million, $38.6 million, $64.5 million and $74.7
million, respectively. In fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the nine months
ended January 31, 2012, we generated 15.8%, 25.2%, 24.9% and 23.7% of our
revenue, respectively, from outside of the United States.
Our principal executive offices are located at 3900 N. Capital of Texas
Highway, Suite 300, Austin, Texas 78746-3211, and our telephone number is

NOVI, Mich. (AP) — Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum is distancing himself from a high-profile supporter's comments about contraception.
The main donor behind Santorum's "super PAC," Foster Friess (freeze), said on MSNBC on Thursday that aspirin used to be an acceptable method for contraception. Friess said that "gals," in his words, "put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly." He followed the comment with laughter.
Santorum, a devout Catholic, has said he opposes contraception. But he's calling Friess' comment a "stupid joke." And he says he's not responsible for everything his supporters say.
Speaking to reporters after a speech in Michigan, Santorum says the comment by Friess was "in bad taste."
Santorum later told Fox News that he considers Friess "a good man" and "a great philanthropist."

Lending money on collateral items is easily one of the oldest professions in the world. Pawn shops have been recorded as early as the 5th century, owned and operated by Buddhist monasteries in China. But pawn shops weren't limited to only China. Both Rome and Greece were huge proponents of pawnbrokers and pawn shops, and even instituted some of the laws and regulations we still use to this day. It wasn't until Medieval times that pawn shops really took off. Primarily, pawn shops began as a means for those in need to borrow money from these pawnbrokers, with items being offered as collateral toward the borrowed cash. However, many kings and queens used pawn shops in order to fund certain activities. Edward III pawned many of his jewels in 1338 in order to raise money for a war with France. In 1415, King Henry V did exactly the same thing. Perhaps the most interesting use of a pawn shop by royalty was when Queen Isabella decided to pawn much of her prized jewelry in order to fund Christopher Columbus's voyage to the new world!
There are many pawn shop regulations in place, mostly to protect the customer but a few to protect the pawn shops themselves. These regulations come from both a state level and a federal level. A few of the state regulations include:
If you're still curious, or want to see the state laws about pawn shops for yourself, check out Chapter 11, Article 3 on the Arizona Legislature website.
A few of the federal regulations that govern pawn shops include, but aren't limited to:
More information about these regulations plus information about more pawn shop regulations can be found at the National Pawnbrokers website.
While the laws discussed above govern the guidelines and restrictions on a pawn loan, each pawn shop will operate at different points between these intervals. Here's the terms of pawn loans offered through Oro Express Chandler Pawn and Gold:

|Falbo Bros. Pizzeria Coming to RME
|News Releases - Food & Dining
|Written by Maureen Carter
|Monday, 21 October 2013 13:06
(Davenport, IA) The River Music Experience (RME) is excited to announce that Falbo Bros. Pizzeria will be replacing the existing cafe on the first floor of the Redstone building at 2nd & Main Streets in downtown Davenport. The RME will continue to conduct its live music and educational programming on the RME Community Stage, sponsored by Lujack Lexus of the Quad Cities, which is currently located in the space.
"We're very excited about this unique opportunity for collaboration with a successful national brand," said Tom Swanson, RME Executive Director. "Falbo Bros. will not only serve as a great amenity for the building and downtown, but having an independent operator in that space will enable the RME to focus even more on its musical and educational mission."
The Quad Cities Chamber's Executive Director of the Downtown Davenport Partnership, Kyle Carter, was heavily involved in the recruitment of the restaurant. "Falbo Bros. Pizzeria is a successful franchise with locations in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Colorado," said Carter. "We thought the addition of a location in Davenport was a real winner for downtown and the whole community." Although best known for its pizza by the slice, Falbo Bros. also offers full-size pizzas and delivery. Its fresh, gourmet pizza blends characteristics from the classics of New York and Chicago, but has unique style all its own. The crust is rolled by hand using dough made fresh every few hours and the sauce is made from scratch as well.
"I can't wait to open the new operation," adds Barry Golinvaux, the franchise owner. "The location is an excellent fit and the culture of the RME will tie in nicely with the culture of Falbo Bros. – we are very much looking forward to serving the Quad Cities."
The RME Café's last day of operation will be Thursday, October 31, 2013. The space will be closed for three to four weeks for a remodel and build-out. Falbo Bros. Pizzeria plans to be open Sunday – Wednesday 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Thursday-Saturday 11 a.m. – 3 a.m.

Skibike with suspension
Brenter Snowfire C6
The new "Fatboy" model in the Brenter skibike range is light enough to race in the 7kg class, but is also ruggedised for all-mountain and off-piste action. The 40mm aluminium tubing frame features suspension in the form of front and rear elastomer balls. It may look unusual, but riders enjoy a skibike that moves quickly, turns easily and is stable.

I Will Kill the Next Person That Says "Incentivize"
First it was "softwares", "ERPs", and "CRMs", the ignorantly used plural forms of the group nouns "software", "ERP" and "CRM". Now, they've done it again.
Folks, "Incentivize" is not a word. I know you can find it in the online Merriam-Webster dictionary (also known as the Dictionary for the Lazy and Stupid) but, much like Chechen mail order brides or Viagra without a prescription, just because you find it online doesn't make it right.
The noun is "incentive". That means "something that incites or has a tendency to incite to determination or action". If you want to make that a verb, you either use "incite" (which I admit sounds really awkward) or you use it properly like "We can use a good incentive to help the sales team increase revenue" as opposed to "Let's incentivize the sales team". Don't ever use "incent" – that's just a degraded from of "incentivize".
I didn't "inventize" a new hiring process at IBIS. I didn't "wifeicize" Kerri when I married here. Kerri didn't "birthicize" our two daughters and, on the 15th and 30th your employer doesn't "payicize" you.
Remember, the guys that started this crap are the investment bankers and MBA's that cratered the economy from Wall Street. Don't buy into the madness and stop using it. In fact, next time I hear someone use this I will reach across the board table, smack them with my laptop, then stand over their prostrate body and pour a hot cup of coffee into their ears so the last thing they hear is my voice screaming "Incentivize is not a word you ignorant corporate drone!".
And I will be applauded.
Join my rebellion!

Phew! I'm glad I've moved on to "Incentification" as in, "Our new employee incentification program should significantly drive out of the box thinking related to our industry's ongoing paradigm shift."

I get it and I've even used the word….but one thing that really gets my ire is a person that uses the word "pretty" in front of everything they say, like it's a pretty nice day, it was a pretty nice deal, it was a pretty darned hard thing, it was a pretty nice event. An even more ridiculous word combination is "those ones". When I hear somebody say these words, my immediate thought is they are "un-educated", but as I've heard even heard doctors and other professionals say "those ones" that's not the case. Maybe it's ju st they aren't enlightended. Maybe we should start an irritating words blog.

Resistance is Futile. You are no more likely to get people to not use incentivize as you are likely to get them to use awesome and terrific in their original meaning.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Over the past two weeks several companies announced negative news about their businesses and their stocks got hammered in what I describe as being taken to the woodshed. An investor taken by surprise when this happens often becomes like a deer in the headlights wondering what to do.With a buy-and-trade strategy the first decision an investor needs to make is whether or not the stock-specific negative news is a game changer. Do you wish to continue to own the stock? If the answer is no, simply get out on the old theory that your first loss may be your best loss. If this becomes your decision don't look back as there are thousands of other stocks to choose from.

GAINESVILLE, Tex. -- A fire destroys part of a Gainesville home Tuesday night.
Neighbors called firefighters just before 7:00 p.m.
When they arrived, flames were coming from a bedroom window. The assistant fire chief says crews were able to put the fire out within about ten minutes.
The fire marshal was on scene to investigate, but officials say they don't know the cause. No one was at home at the time of the fire.
