Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Guide
Table of Contents
- Minecraft is all about exploration. Exploring the area in Minecraft will surely bring about a fantastic Minecraft experience. Throughout your exploration, you will make discoveries, find resources, explore biomes, and meet many friendly and deadly creatures.
- Each Minecraft world is randomly generated using many segments called chunks. Each chunk contains over 65,000 blocks. There are millions of blocks to explore in your Minecraft world, so it is easy to get lost in the jaw-dropping environments. Be sure to craft a map and keep it in your inventory. Unfortunately, it is important to keep in mind that the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft will limit each world to 1,000 by 1,000 blocks, severely cutting down world sizes.
- Even though each world is randomly generated, they are generated using something called seeds. The random generation of a Minecraft world is based upon its seed value. Each world has a different value, but two worlds with the same seed value will be exactly the same. You may enter a custom seed upon creating your world to decide the world's generation, however, the spawn may be random.
- If the normal world isn't enough for you, you should explore the other dimensions of Minecraft. During your exploration, you can find yourself in another dimension such as the Nether, the upcoming Sky dimension, and The End. The End and the Nether can be reached by creating portals. In The End, you may come across Minecraft's boss mob, the Ender Dragon.

Spotted two frogs breeding in our small nature pond today. It only went in last year so I'm hoping for lots of spawn soon. The temperature on our outdoor clock was only at about 7 degrees. Just wandering if anyone else has seen any frog activity yet and whether this is normal at these temps?
Yes, it's normal - frogs spawn between mid January and midApril, depending on temperature, and as it's been consistently mild they probably think it's time. The danger is from sharp frosts - if we get sharp frost forecast a layer or two of fleece over the pond just overnight might protect it?
Hopping up above the spam
I'm hoping to see the frog I uncovered in the garden sometime soon! We've had it quite mild so fingers crossed my nearly putting a fork through him and having to build him a nest on the other side of the garden has done him no harm. The pond isn't very wildlife friendly at the moment (sorting that out in March when the plants come) but there wasn't a pond before so hopefully he'll find it!
I know fish in ponds tend to eat any frog spawn but if I ever get some I've read some very clever ways of netting it off to protect it!
I haven't checked the pond yet as it's raining, but the heron has been down and had breakfast. As there are no fish in there, I assume the frogs are back for their annual fiesta.
There were so many baby and adult frogs around last year but I have no idea where they were breeding previously because I know the gardens on either side have no ponds and that covers about a hectare. Very excited about showing our little boy the spawn when it arrives!
Dear God, please send me a frog - or preferably two so that I can have tadpoles in my one year old wildlife pond!

You better talk to dove.
If you build it they will come!
they are breeding in pond and I have all ready have had to pull out a drowned frog,
so spring fever has started as has the other wildlife such as these two love birds.
the frogs in my pond are definitly very amourous! not only can i see them but they are very vocal in the evenings! bit concerned im going to be overun so if anyone in the north devon are would like some, please let me know, counted 28 last evening, and at least 12 newts. I only moved into this house in november so pond life is new to me so any suggestions woudl be good, intend to keep the pond and found homes for the 30 fish! as only want it as a wildlife pond, suggestions please, should i not have so many frogs? will the newts breed as well? and it desperatly needs a clean, how do i do that without upseting the frogs, dont want them to pack up and find a new home!
The best time to clean a nature pond with minimal disruption is early Autumn but perhaps you could do some not too invasive stuff now before you have tadpoles and efts which could get hurt. Remember to leave weed on the edge for a day or two so things can get back in the pond, I don't think number of adult frogs will be a problem, they only come to the pond to breed then most clear off. I'm sure your newts will help keep the population down a bit as they eat tadpoles. Many of your tadpoles that hatch won't make it to adulthood and current advice is not to give spawn away as it can spread disease. Hope this helps Lupin.

Protesters picketing Vice President Dick Cheney's visit to the Air Force Academy Wednesday morning say they just want people to know that -- quote -- "Cheney and Bush have been telling us lies all along."
About 20 demonstrators held signs outside an entrance to the academy earlier today, in advance of Cheney's address during the school's graduation ceremonies.
Protesters arrived about 7:30 a-m, but planned to leave once commencement began.
Demonstrators carryied signs reading -- quote -- "Support means bring them home and help them heal," "End Middle-East occupations" and "Democracy is best taught by example, not by war."
Sixty-six-year-old Bobby Vincent of the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission says the group just doesn't like Cheney or his policies.

We've rounded up our favourites.EE Kestrel -- £99Built by Chinese manufacturer Huawei, the Kestrel is impressively slim at under 8mm and reasonably lightweight too at 145g. The 4.5-inch screen offers a less than HD resolution of 960x540 pixels (245ppi) but while it most definitely lacks the wow factor, it's bright and sharp enough to avoid irritation.The quad-core processor is clocked at 1.2GHz and backed by 1GB RAM. That's pretty impressive for a device at this price, and matches the spec on the Moto G.The 5-megapixel camera includes an LED flash, autofocus and a few extra settings like Sound and Shot, which allows you to add a little sound to your pics, and Panorama. There's also voice-activated shooting and object tracking -- certainly more settings than you'd expect from a budget camera.On the front is a 1-megapixel camera for video calls. There's 8GB memory onboard for storing your pics and vids plus you can add more via microSD card.Full review: EE Kestrel reviewWired: Good-sized screen, okay camera, fast processor, 4G, good battery life Tired: Low-res screen, awkward headphone jack placement7/10 Moto GMotorola Motorola Moto G -- £135The Moto G set a new high standard for budget phones this year. The 4.5-inch screen offers a resolution of 1,280x720 pixels (329ppi - 3ppi higher than you get with the iPhone 5S, for instance). That might not be up there with the full HD high-enders, but its standard 720p HD resolution still looks terrific -- bright, vibrant and sharp.With Google's acquisition of Motorola, it should be one of the first in the queue for the latest version of Android when it's available. The quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor backed by 1GB RAM is certainly a more powerful beast than we're used to seeing at this price point and it goes a long way towards making this feel like much more of a premium device than the price suggests.The five-megapixel camera offers includes an LED flash and offers 4x digital zoom, slow motion video, burst mode, auto HDR, panorama and touch focus. That's a pretty good list of features, and fortunately it's backed up by the picture quality, which doesn't disappoint. There's also a 1.3-megapixel model on the front for video calls.It's available in 8GB or 16GB versions but whichever you choose, that's your lot - there's no option to add more memory.Full review: Moto G reviewWired: Gorgeous screen, powerful processor, sturdy build, good battery life, budget price Tired: A bit chunky, no expandable memory8/10 Nokia Lumia 635 test photoDave Oliver Nokia Lumia 635 -- £150The Lumia 635 comes in a range of bright Day-Glo colours (yellow, green and orange, as well as black or white) and you can swap covers to suit your mood.The less-than-HD 4.5-inch screen delivers a resolution of 854x480 pixels (214ppi) and while it's not super-sharp, for most tasks the lack of HD revolution isn't too much of a hindrance -- pics, videos and web pages tend to look a little softer, but not overly lacking in detail.The quad-core 1.2GHz processor backed by 512MB RAM may not be the fastest, but it proved to be fairly smooth in operation, strolling around the latest Windows Phone 8.1 interface reasonably quickly though it did occasionally take a little time to dwell on opening some apps.The 5-megapixel camera has no Carl Zeiss lens like the pricier Lumias but it does come with a large f/2.4 aperture, autofocus and several settings, including downloadable camera apps like Nokia Refocus, which allows you to add depth to your pics by changing the focal point. There's no flash or dedicated shutter button (you'll need to press the screen to take a pic), but it's capable of taking some okay photos so long as you're careful with your light. Disappointingly though, there's no forward-facing camera for video calls.There's 8GB of memory on board, which isn't bad, and you can add up to 128GB via microSD card, plus you get 7GB free online storage from Microsoft.Full review: Nokia Lumia 635 reviewWired: Decent processor, okay camera, Nokia and Windows extras, expandable memory, 4G Tired: Screen could be better, Windows Store still a bit lean 7/10 Latest on wired.co.uk

Sport Pilot from Start to Finish
Meet two pilots who fly LSA
Seven years after its introduction, the sport pilot certificate is gaining traction and gathering converts—the number of student starts suggest students are recognizing the category's benefits. That's encouraging, because it implies that a population of potential student pilots is on the sidelines, watching and calculating while seriously considering a jump into the action themselves.
More student starts is good. More students successfully making the transition to pilot in command is even better. Yet that doesn't tell the full story of the sport pilot certificate. Aside from its ability to put new pilots in the air, it also removes a regulatory roadblock, allowing experienced pilots at the far end of their career path to downsize the aircraft they're flying and remain in the left seat.
What is sport pilot? For all its benefits, sport pilot remains one of the most misunderstood certificates the FAA has ever offered. New students will find sport pilot to be a quick, less expensive, and satisfying way to get into the cockpit. It's also remarkably easy for those who hold a more advanced pilot certificate to begin exercising their privileges as a sport pilot.
Sport pilots are limited by regulation to flying only Light Sport category aircraft (LSA). Ironically, the parameters set out for an LSA have caused a wide selection of aircraft to be introduced to the U.S. market that approximate the simple trainers in which so many pilots learned to fly immediately prior to World War II, and throughout that war. But unlike those early, bare-bones trainers, these new models make outstanding use of technology in their powerplants, avionics, and even the materials from which the aircraft are built.
A LSA can't weigh more than 1,320 pounds, although a 100-pound allowance is made for seaplanes—their weight limit is 1,420 pounds. The maximum stall speed is limited to 45 knots, and LSAs can't cruise any faster than 120 knots in level flight with maximum continuous power.
ahead of time. Gardiner Mason Jr. is a retired airline captain from Georgia who did a stint in the United States Marines as a pilot. He flew the Douglas A–1 Skyraider, a hulking single-engine beast that packed 2,500 horsepower or better under the cowl and weighed more than 12,500 pounds. Mason didn't learn to fly in that monster aircraft, however. He took his first lessons, and earned his civilian pilot certificate, in a much smaller, less powerful machine. "I had my license when I was 17," he says. The future Marine aviator and airline captain was burning up the sky in an Aeronca Champion, a simple, steel tube-and-fabric-covered airplane with no electrical system, two seats, a docile stall, and a cruise speed slow enough to be considered sluggish by modern standards.
Mason was flying as a sport pilot long before the FAA ever considered introducing the certificate. When I met him on the grassy infield at Sun 'n Fun 2011, he was operating as a sport pilot again—and wasn't even aware of it. Although it was built decades before the rules that brought Light Sport aircraft into being, the Aeronca Champ is a Light Sport-compliant aircraft. Private pilots, commercial pilots, and even airline transport pilots like Mason can fly the Champ to their heart's content. But so can a sport pilot, because the Champ, along with a considerable collection of its peers, does not exceed the limitations set out for an aircraft that can be operated by a sport pilot.
Light Sport aircraft may be brand-new machines that have just rolled off the assembly line, or they may be 70-year-old classics that have been available on the ramp for our entire lives.
Live and learn. Unlike Mason, Aaron Menough didn't learn to fly in his teens. He learned later in life, after his career was established, he was married, and had a growing family. He is a captain of a 630-foot bulk freighter on the Great Lakes. He is a sport pilot by choice.
"Cost was a huge factor," says Menough about his decision to choose the sport pilot certificate over other options. The lower time commitment necessary to complete the sport pilot certificate was a consideration, too.
During the off season, Menough is a stay-at-home dad with a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old seeking his attention throughout the day. That presented some issues when Menough made an attempt to settle down to do his ground-school work. "There wasn't one minute when I didn't have a toddler pulling on my leg."
Like the newer Light Sport aircraft, Menough made use of technology to improve his situation. He studied using Gleim's online ground-school resources—using his iPhone to log in and access the material. His studying was sporadic, but frequent. "Anytime I had a spare minute, I did it strictly online."
Menough did his actual training in an A-22 Valor with Joe Crocker, an instructor at FlightLine Aviation in Sebring, Florida. The exceptional visibility the Valor offers shook Menough initially, as did the size of the aircraft, but he grew to enjoy the airplane and adapted to his training well.
"I was really nervous," says Menough of his initial training flights. "I'd never been in a plane that small before."
He overcame the nervousness, which is not at all unusual when beginning flight training, but Menough found out that his day job left him with a few bad habits that he would have to overcome if he was going to become a pilot.
One was his use of the rudder. Whenever Menough was just slightly off course, he would tend to revert to his training aboard ship and just bump in a bit of rudder. Breaking that bad habit and using coordinated inputs of both the rudder and ailerons took some getting used to, but he did it and was able to complete his training and earn his sport pilot certificate in an impressive 20.7 hours, at a cost of approximately $3,000. The FAA minimum training time required for a sport pilot certificate is 20 hours.
The right training. Menough's success isn't simply attributable to his focused determination. It is also a testament to the training he received. Joe Crocker is a flight instructor with a sport pilot rating, not a traditional certificated flight instructor. Crocker's success, as well as that of his students, is the result of a solid training program designed by professionals who put customer service and quality instruction at the top of their priority list.
"Most of our students aren't local," admits Crocker. "We get a lot of accelerated training, and finish-ups."
What Crocker is referring to is the sad reality of the flight training industry. Not all flight schools are exceptional, and not all flight instructors are dedicated to helping their students achieve their goals. Students committed to completing their training, but frustrated with their local school, will seek other facilities for completing their training—even if it means traveling to, in some cases, another state.
"They come here and they're focused on doing it," says Crocker. His students often view their flight training as a full-time effort, actually living and training on the field in order to compress their training time and minimize costs while still meeting the FAA's standards.
Designated Pilot Examiner Janeen Kochan conducted Menough's practical test. She's doing an increasing number of sport pilot checkrides and openly admits that she's impressed with the quality of the sport pilot applicants she sees. "They are, in general, exceptionally well prepared and exceptionally astute pilots."
Menough was no exception. Not only did he successfully complete his practical test—he did it in two sittings. The first allowed him to get through the oral portion, but high winds convinced the applicant that it was not a good day for the flight test, so he made a command decision and rescheduled.
Displaying good decision making is an excellent way to show a designated examiner that you're taking your role as PIC seriously. That first impression paid off when he showed up for the follow-up appointment and nailed the checkride.
Cool people. "The most satisfying thing, outside of getting a certificate, was being introduced to the community," Menough says. "I've met some really cool people."
Menough and Mason have a lot in common. At 78 years old, Mason spent five years building a Pietenpol Aircamper, which he flew to Florida for Sun 'n Fun 2011 to show off. Sadly, a rare but highly destructive tornado swept through the grounds of the show, crushing his beloved Piet and potentially dashing his plans to fly as a sport pilot. The Cessna 140 he owns does not qualify as a Light Sport aircraft because of its weight.
Before the tornado, Mason spoke glowingly of his earliest flying experiences, and how they related to flying his homebuilt airplane. "It's the same thing. I'm still flying low and slow in the Pietenpol."
There are plenty of misconceptions about what a sport pilot is, and how those rules and regulations affect us when we fly. Whether you're training to become a pilot, or you're using the sport pilot rules to extend the number of years you can fly, you can learn the ropes without undue stress or strain. The sport pilot certificate is designed to fill the needs of the exact people it's named after—sport pilots.

My Rules vs. My Teens' Style
by Mir Kamin
Whenever I think one of my kids is leaving the house looking… not quite the way I might've hoped, I try to remind myself that they're teens now, and it's good and right for them to make their own choices. But, that doesn't mean there aren't any "rules."

What To Know About Taking Your Kids to Their First "Real" Concert
by Wendi Aarons
There are obviously a lot of variables that go into when a kid is old enough for his first "real" concert, but in my opinion, 11 or 12 years-old is ideal. Not only are the children probably fans of the artist and know his or her songs by this age, but they're able to sit still during the boring wait times and they won't get too exhausted when the hour gets late.

That search ended Wednesday with the board's approval and announcement that Charlotte Haston will take the position beginning Monday.
Haston, 46, has lived in Jacksboro for 23 years. For 16 years, she has operated Coco's House, daycare center.
Haston is a native of Cross Plains which is between Brownwood and Abilene.
Haston hopes to expand the chamber's role in Jacksboro.
Haston will begin training Monday during Tarpley's last full week on the job, but she won't have to go it alone after that. Tarpley will still spend much of her time at the chamber office in her new position handling tourism and human resources for the City of Jacksboro.
Chamber President Brad Burnett said chamber leaders are pleased with the new hire.
"Our selection interview committee was unanimous in the decision," Burnett said. "We're excited to have a local person who knows Jacksboro and is familiar with the needs of the community and who also is a person who has operated a successful business in Jacksboro. We think it's a great fit and are excited to have her as our director moving forward."

Send Free Text Messages With Your iPhone
From Wired How-To Wiki
Steve Jobs touted the iPhone 2.0's $200 price tag until he was blue in the face. But anyone paying any attention at all quickly noticed that AT&T is making up the difference by upping the price of SMS messages. Under the iPhone's new data plans, you pay $5 per month for 200 messages (which is what was included with the original plan), $15 per month for 1500 messages, or $20 per month for unlimited messages. Given that data is much easier on the network than voice, SMS has to be one of the bigger scams the telcos are currently running -- and not just for the iPhone.
It may not be rocket science, but Jeff Carlson over at Tidbits has a tip to help you avoid exorbitant fees: use AOL's free instant message client for iPhone and iPod Touch. For those not using an iPhone or an iPod Touch, IMing instead of texting is old news. But now iPhone users can get in on the money-saving fun.
In fact, you can use just about any AIM client -- iChat, Adium, Fire or whatever you'd like -- to send a text message to any mobile device capable of sending and receiving text messages.
For those new to setting up AIM-to-phone connections, follow these instructions.
This article is a wiki. Got extra advice? Log in and add it.
Step 1: Get a chat client for your iPhone
(Note: You can obviously skip this step if you just want to send text messages from your desktop.)
If you're using an iPhone, go to the Apple App Store and download the free AIM client for the iPhone. Either enter the App Store using your iPhone, or, if you're on your desktop, use this direct link to the AIM client in the iTunes App Store.
Step 2: Add your friend's phone to your buddy list
From your desktop AIM client (iChat, Adium, Pidgin or whatever you're using) add a new contact. Instead of entering your friend's AOL chat handle, enter their phone number using this format:
+1[area code][7-digit phone number]
with no breaks or hyphens. Put in the contact's name as something that identifies it as "Jeff's Phone" or "Scott's SMS" -- anything that helps you differentiate it from your friend's regular IM account.
Step 3: Log in and send a message
Your friend's mobile contact info should now appear in your buddy list. It will show up in all of your clients, too -- your iPhone, your work computer, your home computer. Your AIM buddy list is stored on AOL's servers, so you have access to the same list of buddies no matter what device you're using or where you're logging in from.
Tap on the buddy's name, type a message, and click send.
Step 4: Handling the replies
When you send a message this way, the AIM servers will translate it into an SMS and send it to the recipient's phone number. If your buddy is using an iPhone, they will receive your message as an SMS (and they'll pay for it). They'll have to sign up for an AIM account and download AOL's free chat app if they want to receive messages from you for free.
When you send your first message, you may get an instant auto-reply saying "Your IM has been sent to my mobile device..." or something along those lines. The text of this notice may vary slightly depending on the mobile carrier your friend uses.
Likewise, your friend may receive an SMS alerting them to the fact that an AIM user has sent them a text message, followed by instructions on how to disable AIM-to-phone text messages.
If your friend has already disabled AIM-to-phone text messages (or has disabled text messages altogether) your SMS won't go through.
Tips & Tricks
- Remember to keep it short, as SMS is limited to 140 characters.
- Also, AOL adds some additional information to your text message, like your AOL username and the note "You can reply to this message." This further limits the length of your messages, putting your new limit at about 120 characters.
- If your note exceeds the character limit, it will arrive as two separate text messages. This means your friend will get dinged for an additional SMS.

Confirming her mastery of the middle-grade novel, Mass (Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life ) combines astronomy and storytelling for a well-balanced look at friendships and the role they play in shaping identity. Three narrators take turns: Ally, who lives with her parents and younger brother at the Moon Shadow Campground and loves every tree and every rock on it, but most especially the stars above it; glamour-loving Bree, who announces to readers that she must have been "switched at birth" to explain her presence among physicist parents and a geeky younger sister; and Jack, who is helping his science teacher lead a solar eclipse tour to the Moon Shadow to make up his failing grade. The trio's paths converge because Ally's parents have sold the Moon Shadow to Bree's, and everyone meets up at the campgrounds during a major eclipse. The voices reflect the distinct personalities, and while the outcome is never in doubt--each character discovers unexpected powers of adaptability and new talents--Mass keeps the developments believable. Information about solar eclipses and astronomy is carefully woven into the plot to build drama and will almost certainly intrigue readers. Ages 8-12. (Oct.)[Page 54]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
Gr 5-9--The lives of three young people intersect and transform against the backdrop of a total solar eclipse. Homeschooled Ally has grown up at the remote Moon Shadow Campground, which her family runs. An eclipse, which can be viewed only from this site, is approaching, and ahead of it come Bree, an aspiring model obsessed with popularity, and Jack, a reclusive artist and avid sci-fi reader. Ally's sheltered world is about to open up as she discovers that her parents plan to cede management of the campground to Bree's parents after the event. Neither Ally nor Bree is excited about the prospect, but as the teens interact they come to terms with the changes they face. Meanwhile, introverted Jack finds himself making friends and becoming a leader. As they go their separate ways, all three approach the future with a newfound balance between their internal and their external lives. The characters are well drawn and likable. Even the seemingly shallow Bree reveals hidden layers as the story progresses. The campground setting affords the youngsters independence, allowing them to interact freely and make their own choices. The astronomical details are fascinating and lyrically incorporated into the narrative. An author's note includes the date of the next solar eclipse in the mainland United States and additional resources. Readers who like quietly self-reflective novels like Lynne Rae Perkins's Criss Cross (HarperCollins, 2005) or Jerry Spinelli's "Stargirl" books (Knopf) will also enjoy this compelling and thought-provoking story.--Kristin Anderson, Columbus Metropolitan Library System, OH[Page 130].

Leader of Maine's Yes on 1 Campaign Admits to Lying
Jim Burroway
April 18th, 2011
A new documentary is due to be released this summer which goes behind the scenes of Maine's 2009 campaign to deny marriage equality for same-sex couples. Documentarians Joe Fox and James Nubile obtained permission to film both camps on the provision that the documentary not air until after the campaign was over. Now that it's due to air later this year, a trailer for Question One has been posted online, complete with a very candid admission from Yes on 1 campaign chairman Marc Mutty:
We use a lot of hyperbole and I think that's always dangerous," says Mutty during a Yes on 1 strategy session, at the time on leave from his job as public affairs director for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maine.
"You know, we say things like 'Teachers will be forced to (teach same-sex marriage in schools)!' " he continues. "Well, that's not a completely accurate statement and we all know it isn't, you know?"
"No," interjects a woman off-camera. "We don't say that."
"Let's look back at our ads and see what we say," Mutty persists. "And I think we use hyperbole to the point where, you know, it's like 'Geez!'"
Mutty admitted that what they were doing was the equivalent of slamming people over the head with "a two-by-four with nails sticking out of it," adding, " it's the only thing we've got — it's the only way. That's the way campaigns work."
Mutty now regrets allowing the filming, worrying that "what impact it will have on my professional life remains to be seen."
Betsy Smith, the executive director of Equality Maine, summed it all up nicely by observing that opponents' religious motivations (McNutty was an official with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maine) didn't translate into an ethical campaign:
Still, she said, "sometimes you want to believe that at least they believed in what they were saying. You want to believe that they feel so passionately about religion and tradition that the things they put out there, they believe, are true."
And now?
"It's striking to hear them say 'No, we knew all along that wasn't true,'" Smith said. "'We were just hitting people over the head with a two-by-four with nails because that's the only option we had.'"
Emrich rants about being connected to "kill gays" bill
Timothy Kincaid
December 11th, 2009
Bob Emrich, the leader of the Yes on 1 Campaign in Maine that blocked marriage equality from going into effect, is upset that "homosexual activists/bloggers" have reported that he sent out to his buddies a newspaper article which praised the Uganda "kill gays" bill. So he has sent out a new email to clarify his position (below the jump).
Well, actually, it's primary purpose is to rail against human rights, defend the "intentions" of those who wrote the "kill gays" bill, and accuse gay people of "say[ing] and repeat[ing] anything in order to promote homosexual behavior while denigrating anyone who dares disagree with them."
While Emrich says that he does not believe that gay people "should be punishable by death or life imprisonment", he clearly sympathizes with the motivations of the bill and equates consensual same-sex relationships (like those he opposed in Maine) with "sexual abuse of minors and disabled persons." It should also be noted that Emrich does not disavow the bill, his support for its intent and motivation, nor the criminalization of homosexuality in Uganda or the United States.
Emrich and his campaign have been quick to say anything to discredit, demean, and demonize gay individuals and couples. Yet when he is called on his distribution of an endorsement of evil, he wails and moans that he is a victim of an unwarranted attack.
Were we to adopt the tactics of Bob Emrich and Stand for Marriage Maine, we would use the following ad in the next election in which we are protecting ourselves from attack by anti-gay activists:
[Show anti-marriage ad]
Voiceover: Supporters of Proposition X tell you that they don't hate gay people, they just want to protect tradition. But opponents of marriage equality never seem to want to stop there.
[show picture of Bob Emrich]
This leader of the anti-gay campaign in Maine went to Uganda immediately after the vote. He came back and sent to all of his supporters a copy of an article which praised legislation in that nation that would punish gay people with a life sentence or with death.
[show picture of a noose]
He said there is an important lesson to learn from Uganda and asked how our culture – the American culture – has lost its way.
[show picture of anti-gay activists]
Although supporters of Propositions like Prop X try and talk about culture and tradition and children, their smiling faces hide a much more sinister agenda, a very un-American agenda.
[Cue picture of happy people going to vote]
On November X, you have a chance to stop them. You can tell them "no". Vote NO on Proposition X
This could be followed by ads that talk about anti-gays trying to stop health insurance or domestic partnerships in states where they said "we only want to protect marriage", and other instances in which the anti-gay agenda was pursued after the voters had been lied to.
If, of course, we decided to go that direction.

That "Maine Teacher" Is No Stranger To Anti-Gay Lies
Jim Burroway
September 23rd, 2009
As Jeremy Hooper pointed out yesterday, that teacher in Stand for Marriage Maine's latest TV ad is no ordinary run-of-the-mill concerned teacher. She's actually Charla Bansley, state director for Concerned Women for America for Maine. In 2005, she was a signatory of a letter to the Southern Baptist Convention demanding that they act on a proposed "Resolution on Homosexuality In Public Schools." That resolution calls on Southern Baptists to remove their children from public schools and send them either to conservative Christian schools or home-school their children. This resolution, of course, would have the effect of drumming up more business for her own school, Calvary Chapel Christian School, which is near Bangor, Maine.
A look at fellow signatories give you an idea of what kind of crowd Bansley runs in. They include such ardent anti-gay extremists as Holocaust revisionist Scott Lively, Peter LaBarbera, Michael Heath (who resigned this weekas director of the Christian Civic League of Maine after 15 years at the helm), and Exodus International Board member Phil Burris. Many other signatories have also been heavily involved with their respective state's bans on marriage quality, including Burris (Ohio), Gary Glenn (Michigan), Len Munsil (Arizona), John Stemberger (Florida) among many others.
Charla Bansley was also a guest speaker at last Sunday's Stand for Marriage Maine closed-door rally at the Augusta Civic Center, where she described homosexuality as "a public display of psychosis." In a partial transcript provided to BTB, she also repeated a popular distortion of scientific research by anti-gay activists when she told that crowd:
A study in the Netherlands found that the average duration of a homosexual marriage was just one and a half years certainly nothing to build a society upon. The same study found that committed homosexual couples were also intimate with an average of eight extra marital partners per year this is not anti-gay rhetoric this are statistics published in Journal of the International Aids Society.
Three years ago we examined this "Netherlands Study" claim in our report, "What the 'Dutch Study' Really Says About Gay Couples," and found anti-gay claims about it it to be a wholesale misrepresntation of what the study actually found. We also examined how that study has been distorted through the years by anti-gay extremists like Bansley. So her statement at the rally combined with their first television ad, which those associated with Stand for Marriage Maine have already admitted to be a lie and not to be taken seriously, tells us everything we need to know about Stand for Marriage Maine's moral fiber and Bansley's credibility. She calls herself a teacher. God help her students.
Update: Charla Bansley also spoke at a tea-party rally in Augusta on July 4, and repeated the same "Dutch Study" falsehood there.
Maine "Yes On 1" Ad Recycles California Ads, Casts Activist As "Teacher"
Jim Burroway
September 22nd, 2009
We alerted you earlier today that the folks at Stand for Marriage Maine were about to reveal a new television ad, and that they promised to repeat talking points that they had already acknowledged as lies. Well, here it is:
It's an almost word-for-word copy of this 2008 commercial for California's Prop 8. The only difference is a that Charla Bansley was cast in the role of "teacher, Ellsworth, Maine." And who is Charla Bansley? She's no ordinary run-of-the-mill school teacher. Sharp-eyed Jeremy Hooper has the scoop:
In truth, Ms. Bansley is the state director of the Concerned Women For America of Maine, and has appeared onstage at many Stand For Marriage Maine rallies. She has made her interest clear time and time again.
And while she is a teacher, she doesn't teach at a public institution. She teaches at Calvary Chapel Christian School. A Christian school where she is already freely stifling pro-gay speech, at least according to one of her very own students.
Stand For Marriage Maine Announces Second TV Ad; Self-Confessed Lies Will Continue
Jim Burroway
September 22nd, 2009
Stand for Marriage Maine has issued a press release announcing a teleconference tomorrow to reveal their second television ad, which they've titled, "Everything To Do With Schools." Based on that title, it appears that the group supporting Maine's Question 1 to rescind that state's marriage equality law is hell-bent on pressing the line that they've already admitted was false. Here's the description of their second ad from their press release:
Stand for Marriage Maine will launch its second statewide television ad on September 23, 2009, directly depicting the impact on children's education should LD 1020 become law.

NARTH: Half of Clients are Teens
Jim Burroway
October 16th, 2012
Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality (PATH), a coalition of organizations which promote ex-gay therapy, has launched a new web site called "Voices of Change" (warning: A noisy video autoplays when the site is loaded). The web site appears to have been launched in response to California's ban on licensed therapists providing Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE) to minors under the age of eighteen. Legislators in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are now planning to introduce similar legislation in their states.
In one video posted on Voices of Change, Joseph Nicolosi, co-founder and former president of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) discloses that half of all clients are teenagers and represent a growing customer base:
Nicolosi: We are getting more an more teenagers coming to our clinic. Years ago when I did this work, the average age of our clients were late 20's and early 30's…Today, I would say that 50-percent of the clients at our clinic, and we have 135 ongoing cases a week. We have seven therapists that only deal with homosexuality. Fifty percent are teenagers.

Mike Bryan, General Manager of Batesville Technology Solutions, sat down with the staff at The Director to answer reader's questions about online trends and technology. See the full article in the July "Asked and Answered" column.
How are online trends impacting the funeral industry and what should a funeral home do to prepare to meet these evolving needs?
Where you'll find today's consumers, more often than not, is online.
- 85% of adults use the internet to connect to businesses and to each
- 38% of traffic to funeral home websites comes from online searches
- 91% of adults own a mobile phone and 34% own a tablet computer
- 1 in 3 Americans are using Facebook to find and share information about a loved one who has passed
The internet has changed the ways that families research, evaluate, share and collaborate on plans for a loved one's funeral. If you don't meet changing consumer expectations you risk alienating family and friends and potentially losing business. Now is the time to embrace technology and social media, not dismiss it (even if you don't fully understand it all).
What can the funeral industry learn from other industries as it relates to technology and the role it plays in their business every day?
As the digital front door, a funeral home's website is increasingly likely to determine a customer's first impression of their business. Here are 7 ways to create an engaging online experience:
- Define your brand align it with everything you do. Your brand should be genuine and consistent online and offline.
- Engage consumers visually with bold interesting images and graphics.
- Make the site very easy to use through simple navigation and prominent calls to action.
- Speak in their language (not industry jargon)– this shows you care and want to help guide them through the process.
- Make sure your site has strong search engine optimization – it is the first step to getting found!
- Have your obituaries as a focal point on your home page – it is the #1 reason a person comes to your site.
- Optimize your site to meet the mobile trends to ensure you do not lose visitors and business (25% of traffic and growing).
There is a lot of talk about SEO. What is it? What should a funeral professional do to maximize their opportunity?
It is complex and changes continually but the good news is that there are some simple (and free) things you can do that never fall out of favor and have a BIG impact.
- Post every service. Search engines look for frequently updated, relevant content with local (city, state) and decedent information (name, city, state). Optimize content even further by including references and links to schools, clubs, churches, and affiliations.
- Leverage Your Content. Families are searching for obituaries and content that is connected to educating themselves on their planning options and costs. Make sure your content is reflective of these themes.
- Leverage industry and local memberships. List your website in member directories for NFDA, State Associations, Google+, and Chambers of Commerce, and the BBB. Also, find opportunities to link to local organizations like community websites, churches, hospice, and cemeteries.
You have the advantage! You are local and you are a leader in your community who has the authority and relevant content that your families want to find. Make sure to utilize those strengths and put these steps in place to increase traffic to your site today!

I am getting so used to the long sleep-ins lately. Nearly nine hours last night! Makes it easier when The Husband is in the same city, and sleeping next to me. :)
These longs sleeps, however, typically mean a lot of dream activity. And last night's was definitely one of the weirder ones.
I was in a residence. Looked like my current one here in Boston, actually. I was in what looked like my current bedroom, absent of the furniture. I noticed a pelican in the room. And it started to walk towards me. I panicked. And freaked out. I escaped out of the room, shutting the door.
The I heard a soft "meow."
So I nudged the door open and peeked inside. I saw a little white kitten who looked exhausted and scared. I picked it up before the pelican could get to him, and shut the door.
Then I woke up.
The analysis...
- Dreaming of a bedroom represents elements of you that you keep private and hold in from the world.
- Pelicans represent sacrifice, charity and putting others first.
- Escaping in a dream typically signifies a positive turn of events.
- Rescuing something represents an aspect of the self that has been neglected.
- Kittens represent a transition towards independence.
This all makes sense to me.
Last summer, when I decided to move to Boston, that was the first thing I had really done that was for me and me alone. My intention was to move without a job. To just take some time, find one eventually, but live between Toronto and Boston.
The NYC move the year prior was work-related. I was feeding my ego's need to be in a high position and earning a high salary. But feeding the ego is never a healthy thing. And the reality is that the job I had been doing in Toronto, and the job I took in NYC, were very much about putting something else first as a priority. In these instances, it was my ego's need to feel validated by being badly needed. And what happened when I told my boss, "So sorry. But I've decided to move to Boston"? He offered me the chance to take my job with me and work remotely. As exciting as that was ("They still need me!" I thought), it was not a good thing. But I saw it as a sign that it was what i was supposed to do, because it was being offered.
Earlier this week, I was talking to two people and saying that I tend to give my ideas away to others. I tend to also give away my time and good nature to others. It's time I started using my ideas for myself. And my time. But for a person who is so used to feeling validated by serving others, it's hard to get used to the idea of not doing that.
I am very largely driven by ego. And this dream, I feel, is my subconscious telling me to "knock it off." It's being very aggressive about telling me to knock it off lately because I have been entertaining job opportunities that would land me right back in the spot I was four months ago: In a job where I go all in, sacrificing personal time, energy and the kind spirit of my husband and friends.
And maybe I should get a kitten!

Tomomi Sayuda's Handwoven Paper Daydream Lamps Float Like Glowing Blossoms
Posted By Lori Zimmer On May 21, 2012 @ 1:40 pm In Design,Green Lighting,ICFF | No Comments
We loved the colorful airy grouping of Tomomi Sayuda [2]'s Daydream Lamps at this past weekend's ICFF. The paper lanterns are crafted from handwoven Japanese paper [3], with the delicate swirls of color which softly infuse a room with light in the form of a cluster of flower blooms in Spring.
Each of the Daydream lamps comes in three sizes, with the option of delicious sounding colors—newly introduced for ICFF—including Sprout, Cherry or of course, Rainbow. The bigger the lamp, the more "scales" or "feathers" [5] it has, with the smallest resembling a leafy piece of dangling fruit and the largest almost a furry rounded animal.
Each of the circular "scales" which are layered to create the shape of the lamp, maximize the paper lamp [6]'s gorgeous floating luminosity effect, by layering an outline of dark defined color atop the translucent paper base. With overlapping and layering, Sayuda builds up the round shape of the lamp, giving it the effect of a fresh picked plant or flower [7].
Grouped together, the Daydream lamps have a truly fantastical effect, creating a scene from a Japanese Sakura Garden. Alone, the lamps [8] bring a warm glow and organic feel to any room.
Each of Sayuda's Daydream lamps are handmade at her studio in London.

Dr Andrew Wills awarded Provosts Teaching Award
26 November 2013
UCL is committed to providing outstanding, research-led teaching. The Provost's Teaching Awards were set up to celebrate the best of pedagogic prowess at UCL and to reward staff who are making outstanding contributions to the learning experience and success of our students.
This year Dr Andrew Wills was the recipient of one these awards, continuing the recognition of members of the Department of Chemistry for their teaching excellence with six awards having been made to staff in the Department since the inaugral prize in 2007.
Dr Andrew Wills, UCL Department of Chemistry
Andrew started teaching at UCL Chemistry in 2001. He is particularly interested in how information flows during teaching and is a great champion of using technology to provide new ways to shape the different dynamics involved in education. In 2012 he became Director of Studies in Chemistry and uses this opportunity to help drive the adoption of innovations that improve the quality of our student learning experiences. He believes that better teaching does not necessarily equate to more work, and has developed a side line in creating new software that enables staff to more effectively teach and save time during their day-to-day work. Many of these grow from a childhood belief that his BBC computer should do the tiresome things that he didn't want to do, such as maths homework.

Confiscation orders divide community opinion
When people have been convicted of the same fraud how should a confiscation of their fraudulently obtained money be divided, asks Nick Huber. Should it be divided equally or by more than the whole of the benefit they obtained jointly?
These are some of the questions arising from a recent Court of Appeal decision (Fields & Others v R [2013] EWCA Crim 2042), which has been analysed by forensic accounting expert David Winch.
Some accountants have claimed that confiscation orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) against "ordinary businesses" have sometimes been draconian.
Fields, Sanghani and Sagoo had been engaged in a fraud...

Confiscation Orders...
Where fraudsters set out to defraud, they should have no defence against the amount of the confiscation order. If they don't like it, don't carry out the fraud!
Yes, there is the fine/sentence, but there is no additional legal financial recompense for those who have suffered pain, stress, financial hardship, and illness because of the actions of the fraudsters. Whereas, fraudsters are totally lacking in empathy for their victims, and typically seek out their next targets.
In my situation, where I am acting on behalf of a fraud victim, because the Bristol & Avon Constabulary will not go to the (small) effort of obtaining the necessary evidence from the involved parties (all they need are the accounting records and bank statements), despite having the prima facie fraud case referred to them by ActionFraud, we must take out a civil action, which the fraudsters can afford to defend vigorously using the proceeds of their crime. So, even more unnecessary expense for the victims.
Our experience with this couple is they will spin out the legal action through lies and obfuscation, running up huge bills, which will become higher than the possible return, and someone will have to give in ...and it won't be them because they cannot afford to be seen to lose! The Police have told me they will take action only when we have been successful ...why do we have to do their job for them!
I know the Director of the company spends a lot of time trawling through AccountingWeb looking for anything which she believes involves her and her husband, and doesn't appreciate the exposure. She and her husband are not named by me, but she obviously recognises herself.
To clear her and her husband's good name, all she needs to do is produce the accounting records, which she is refusing to do, and bank statements for 'belt and braces', and if they are as clean as she claims, the problem goes away and we apologise.
She views this as harassment, even though they are not named, so perhaps the lady doth protest too much, methinks!!
A lot get off too lightly
They should repay all the money they obtained from the fraud, plus interest, and not just the 'available amount'.
If they spend it all (or hide it in a relatives name), what happens then? Would there be no confiscation?

Just a few years ago, I was sitting in a chair at my commencement looking at this piece of paper that I had worked so hard for asking myself, "Okay, now what are you going to do with it?" I could go into the work force, continue my education with an advanced degree, or join a volunteer organization and make a difference for a worthy cause. The list goes on and on. One thought that did not cross my mind was how much my university gave to me and how I might consider giving back. That's why institutions need to get recent grads to start thinking about advancement opportunities before they even leave campus. Nobody knows more about your institution than someone who was walking its halls a few short months/years ago. These young alumni have…Read more

Ask What Your Data Can Do For You - Monday Musings
Institutions collect all sorts of data... some because they have to (IPEDS reporting, for example), some because they want to (say, for institutional research). They look at financial aid expenditures, socio-economic trends, enrollment behavior… you've seen the reports. But not everyone fully appreciates the value of their own data. With the rapid onset of data warehouses, CRM's, etc., most institutions aren't suffering from a shortage of data. But many are having trouble matching the increasing volume of data with the capability to put the data to use in improving institutional policies, decision making, and resource allocation. With the highly competitive marketplace that exists in higher education, institutions can't afford not…Read more

There's something exhilarating about viewing Nelson's (Heart and Soul) paintings of Dr. King and the March on Washington while reading the words of the speech King gave that day; it's hard to imagine a better representation of their historical significance. Nelson pictures King in front of a forest of microphones, his brow furrowed with concentration. "I have a dream today," he repeats as Nelson shows him in sharp profile--it almost seems possible to feel the warmth of his breath. "With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together," he continues, accompanied by a painting of two clasped hands, black and white. Though it's a clichéd image, Nelson's up-close rendering of the hands gives the picture startling freshness. American landscapes glow, and schoolchildren of every color look viewers in the eye, full of confidence. The speech is lightly edited in a way that makes it understandable for children of any age; a CD of the speech is enclosed. A glorious interpretation of a bedrock moment in 20th-century history. All ages. Agent: Steven Malk, Writers House. (Oct.)[Page ]. Copyright 2012 PWxyz LLC
Gr 2 Up--This splendidly illustrated tribute comes in time to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of Dr. King's historic speech given on August 28, 1963. The full text is appended, though Nelson has chosen to illustrate just the latter portion, beginning with the words, "I say to you today, my friends, that even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream." The luminous oil paintings employ a variety of techniques-scenes at the Lincoln Memorial have a sweeping impressionistic quality while other spreads employ the artist's signature photorealistic style. From the wraparound jacket featuring a powerful image of Dr. King, Nelson makes good use of the large, square trim size and generous design appropriate to illustrate such a significant moment in the Civil Rights Movement. While putting his own interpretative spin on the iconic words, he remains sensitive to King's intent; for example, several paintings focus on King's hope that all people will someday live in harmony-a theme that runs through the oration. The layout matches the tempo of the words with dramatic spreads resounding with the refrain "I have a dream," and the "Let freedom ring" chorus scenes unfold as a creative series of geographic panels. Even after 50 years, this seminal address still has the power to move listeners, and this handsome illustrated version will be welcomed in all collections. Includes a CD of Dr. King's original speech.--Caroline Ward, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT[Page 90]. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Advocates help victims recover
by Kelly Deichert
Air University Public Affairs
4/22/2011 -
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
-- When sexual assault occurs, advocates are on hand to lead victims through the legal and emotional maze and help them transform into survivors.
"Victim advocates provide services for immediate and ongoing intervention and support to victims of sexual assault, and this is strictly a voluntary service," said LaNesa Howard, the Maxwell-Gunter sexual assault response coordinator. "VAs ensure availability of 24-hour confidential victim services either through personal or telephone contact."
Victim advocates must be active-duty personnel, active Reserve or Guard personnel or Department of Defense civilian employees. Applicants complete a background check, meet with the SARC and undergo a 40-hour training program.
"I'm looking for people with a caring heart and commitment to help fellow Air Force members," Ms. Howard said. "Advocates must be able to provide nonjudgmental support and work well in stressful situations."
Participants will be required to be on call and must have a valid driver's license. "They respond to crisis calls and assist individuals in developing safety plans," Ms. Howard said. "They also explain options regarding reporting avenues and support services, including community, legal and medical resources."
Advocates may be asked to accompany individuals to medical facilities and through investigation interviews.
VAs are as diverse as the people they serve. They vary by age, race and rank, ranging from E-3 to O-4. Both men and women can volunteer.
"Serving as a victim advocate is a rewarding experience for me because it allows people from all walks to come together and make the decision to help other people," said Staff Sgt. Krista Crout, a victim advocate and a unit deployment manager for the Electronic Systems Center at Gunter.
Sergeant Crout has been an advocate since 2007 and served with a SARC at Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan during her deployment in 2008.
"I want the public to know that the victim advocate program is there for them," she said. "It is a program to help in the transition from victim to survivor, whether the crime occurred two hours or 20 years ago."
For others, being a victim advocate is part of being a good wingman.
"(Being a victim advocate) is a part of who I am as a retired Airman who holds the Air Force core values and Airman's Creed near and dear," said Dr. Tony Klucking, an assistant professor in the department of international security studies at the Squadron Officer College. "Air Force core values call on us to place service to others before self. The Airman's Creed speaks to honor, valor, justice and the defense of our country."
Dr. Klucking worked with Col. Debra Gray, the first sexual assault response coordinator for the Air Force. He was on the team she assembled to develop and implement the sexual assault prevention and response program across the Air Force. He has been a victim advocate at Maxwell-Gunter since September.
For him, the SAPR program is a key element to improve the quality of life for Airmen.
"While I no longer serve in uniform, I can still serve and use my years on active duty to help this generation of leaders make the Air Force even better."
Though they may not be official victim advocates, Dr. Klucking believes all Air Force personnel have the responsibility to assist victims of assault.
"We should all be victim advocates, at least in spirit, since there is no act, legal or illegal, that is punishable by being sexually assaulted," Mr. Klucking said. "Despite this, society tends to blame the victim for the perpetrator's criminal actions in cases of sexual assault. It is never the victim's fault. Never."

De Wit hand crocus / snowdrop bulb planter
Delivery options
- Standard £4.99
- Next / named day £6.99
- Click & collect FREE
Every De Wit garden tool is handmade in Holland; hand-forged from solid, top quality steel, shaped, sharpened and finally fitted with an oiled, solid ash wood handle of the finest quality.
- Hand bulb planter: head length - 11.5cm, head width - 4cm, total Length - 18.8cm
- Short handled bulb planter: head length - 10cm, head width - 4cm, total Length - 62cm
- Long handled bulb planter: head length - 10cm, head width - 4cm, total Length - 89cm
The Dutch are rightly regarded as makers of the finest gardening tools. De Wit have been around longer than anyone. They started in 1898 and the 4th generation of De Wits are now in charge of the business; one is a trained wood turner, the other trained as a blacksmith. De Wit forge their tools from carbon steel in the traditional way. Carbon Steel is naturally tougher than stainless steel and is not prone to metal fatigue. De Wit also burnish their steel. This not only helps to protect it for longer but gives it a patina that blackens it - just like traditional English tools from the Edwardian era.
All De Wit tools have turned hardwood handles of oiled Ash. Ash is not only very strong but resists shock better than woods like oak or beech, which is why it was traditionally used for Axe handles.
The result is a beautiful tool to hold in the hand but rugged and durable.
They feel so natural to use that they are like an extension of theperson that uses them. These tools will give you a lifetime of use, until you hand them on.

CP 5700 remote cord
Sep 10, 2004
I red about the application of the Digisnap device and Canon remote cord to shot photos with the CP 5700. I know that it is possible to setup the digisnap through the PC, but on the digisnap user manual there is not reference to any software included in the shipping. So, could anyone give me more info about the use of such a device, because I am interested to by a remote cord for the CP 5700 at low cost.
Thanks in advance at all

The Group Travel Leader Inc. – Are we there yet? Blog
January 2013
"Spread out through the countryside of East Texas north of Beaumont are the 15 separate units that make up Big Thicket National Preserve. Called the "biological crossroads of North America," Big Thicket was established to protect an amazing diversity of plant and animal species that thrive in the confluence of forests and central plains.
With the arrival of white settlers during the 1850s, harvesting of native timbers was soon followed by sawmills, railroads, farming and eventually oil strikes, so designation as a national preserve by the National Park Service created a new management concept to shelter remaining portions of the original ecology. To further environmental impact studies, the United Nations also named Big Thicket an International Biosphere Reserve in 1981…"
