December is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Awareness Month. In case you've never heard of this very common but under reported issue it is known as winter depression or winter blues but can also be known as summer depression or blues. It affects many people who function normally throughout the rest of the year and during other seasons, but moods tend to change drastically during a specific season, many are affected in the winter months. This is due to the lack of sunshine, shorter days, and cold. SAD Symptoms include sleeping more, lack of energy, and a state of depression. SAD was initially described and named in 1984 by Norman E. Rosenthal (Author, Psychiatrist, and Scientist) along with colleagues at the National Institute of Mental Health.
Those affected by SAD may not realize this is the cause. I mean winter time can be very challenging with everything going on and all of the imperative 'To Do' lists prior to the holidays; and then you have the expectations of the New Year as well riding on your shoulders. Add being a single parent to the mix with many demands and expectations of your children. Many attribute the stress, sad mood, and feeling drained to these events and heightened responsibilities. Yet there is proof that some people do experience a severe change in mood simply when the seasons change.
If after the stress of the holidays you still feel blue keep in mind there are some treatments that could help if you feel you are plagued by SAD. Naturally seeing a doctor and describing your symptoms is the best place to start. Here are other things you can try once diagnosed:
- Light Therapy or Phototherapy which consists of exposure to daylight or specific wavelengths of light using fluorescent lamps (most popularly), for prescribed amounts of time and specified times of day.
- Antidepressant medication prescribed by your physician.
- Therapy
- Timed administration of the hormone Melatonin which also helps with sleep disorders. This is a natural over the counter medication but contact your doctor for specific dosages and usage.
- Keeping yourself motivated and busy doing things that make you feel useful and special.
Remember if you are affected by this disorder know that you are not alone. Once you have been diagnosed and know the cause and time of year the symptoms normally appear; make sure you prepare yourself going forward to prevent the onset of sudden and severe symptoms.

According to CNN on Monday, in an attempt to protect more of the China's abandoned infants, the government is increasing the number of 'baby hatches.'
A baby hatch is a place where parents can leave their newborn babies anonymously. The consist of a temperature-controlled room equipped with a baby cradle and incubator. Once the child is placed inside, an alarm is sounded and a welfare working attends to the child minutes later. The hatches were first introduced in Shijiazhuang in 2011.
Currently, there are 25 baby hatches in 10 provinces across China. CCCWA (China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption) said there will be more set up in another 18 regions to help protect the estimated 100,000 babies that are abandoned each year in China despite abandonment being illegal.
Often children are given up because of their severe illness or disability by parents who don't have the means to provide for them. Historically, infants are given up based on the sex of the child. Boys are favored since China's strict one-child policy puts pressure on families to produce a male heir.
Some believe that the baby hatches will encourage parents to give up their infants.
Head of the CCWA, Li Bo, says there is no proof that the hatches increase child abandonment. 'Laws emphasize prevention, while baby hatches focus on rescue after the laws are broken,' he said.
Population expert from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Fuxian Yi said, 'I don't think the baby hatches would encourage people to abandon their babies... it's too soon to judge.'
Other's believe improvement needs to be made to China's welfare system to help children, especially those born with illness or disabilities to prevent babies from being abandoned. The abandonment numbers may also improve if China relaxes its strict one-child policy.

Voices: Bob Williams, On Unit Investment Trusts
Bob Williams is Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Delta Trust Investments in Little Rock, Ark.
Many mutual funds offer breakpoint discounts to investors who meet a minimum asset requirement. Breakpoint rules have not been heavily enforced so far. Many brokers and advisers failed to ask their clients appropriate questions or make sure that funds honored their discounts. As a result, a lot of clients paid unnecessary loads.
But Finra has started cracking down on breakpoint rules recently. Many funds have been forced to refund clients fees they were charged unfairly, and brokers now have to fill out a two-page worksheet on each client's financial history and account information before moving assets into a fund.
Ultimately it falls to advisers to see that their clients make the most of breakpoint discounts. I always made sure my clients got all discounts they qualified for, but some brokers aren't crazy about spending time asking clients questions that will ultimately lead to a decrease in their commission.
Another thing that makes mutual funds less cost effective for brokers: they are a passive investment for the most part. You invest in the fund once and then leave it. That means you're only generating one commission.
Mutual funds have more than just downsides for advisers, however. Even though mutual funds tend not to generate income, they generate capital gains on a regular basis. That increases a client's tax liability. They also encourage brokers to be less active — a broker might never look at a mutual fund once he's made the initial investment, because he's not being paid to.
For me the bottom line is there are better options out there for brokers and clients.
Unit investment trusts for example, also have breakpoint discounts, but don't require extra paper work. And for clients, the benefits include lower commissions, they generate income and clients defer capital gains taxes until the trust matures.
Because the trusts have 12- to 36-month maturity dates, brokers will have to reallocate those assets at least every couple of years. Although the broker is getting paid a smaller commission on average than they would for a mutual fund, they are re-investing the assets multiple times. That means more frequent rebalancing for clients and continued incentives for brokers to care for their clients.
Of course there is no one-size-fits-all investment in this business. In some cases where a client can take advantage of a huge breakpoint discount on a mutual fund, that might be the way to go. But it pays to consider the alternatives.

Joe Allen believes Luis Suarez demonstrated exactly why he is 'unstoppable' for opposition defences as he took his goal tally for the season to 16 in Sunday's 3-0 win at Queens Park Rangers.
The Uruguay striker struck twice in the first half and turned in another outstanding display at Loftus Road to clinch the man-of-the-match accolade.
And Allen claims such performances make Suarez a nightmare for opponents to attempt to thwart.
"We were all desperate to bounce back after what was a bitterly disappointing result at Stoke," the midfielder explained to the Liverpool Echo.
"We wanted to put things right and we did that with the way we played in the first half. As a team we were excellent and that's the way we want to play in every match.
"When you've got someone like Luis Suarez you're always going to cause teams problems. When Luis plays like that he's unstoppable.
"For his first goal, when he picked up the ball I'm sure QPR didn't think there was much danger. But he created something out of nothing and then produced a great finish.
"That's why he's a world-class striker. He's scoring a lot of goals for us this season and long may that continue."
Allen returned to the starting XI after beginning the last two matches on the substitutes' bench and impressed in a commanding Liverpool display.
"I got a chance to start and I'm just glad to be part of a winning performance," he added. "As much as everyone wants to play every game, I think sometimes a rest does you a bit of good.
"I've had a slight problem with my pelvis in recent weeks which luckily settled just in time for this game. I felt strong out there.
"It was a shame we couldn't score more goals in the second half but we didn't need to chase the game too much and leave ourselves exposed.
"QPR had nothing to lose in the second half and threw more players forward but we defended well.
"When you score three goals away from home and keep a clean sheet you've got to be very happy."
Liverpool were without manager Brendan Rodgers for the clash at Loftus Road, as well as Brad Jones and head of performance Glen Driscoll, after a sickness bug left them too ill to participate.
It meant assistant manager Colin Pascoe and first-team coach Mike Marsh took up the reins on the touchline.
"It took everyone by surprise when we heard the manager was ill and wouldn't be at the game but we dealt with it very well," Allen added.
"We've got an unbelievable staff here capable of stepping into Brendan's place. As a team we wanted to get a positive result for everyone.
"Colin did the team talk before the game but with him not feeling well he relayed messages to Mike for half-time. Both Colin and Mike played their part and helped us get the job done."

Are they related to harmonic series in any way? Or something else? Wikipedia didn't help.

Consider a sheet of skin stretched into a flat drum head and drummed upon. When the drum head is in vibration, let $f(x,y,t)$ be the height of the drum head at position $(x,y)$ and time $t$. Then $f$ obeys the wave equation: $$\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2} f = c^2 \left( \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} f + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} f \right) \quad (\ast) $$ where $c$ is a physical constant related to things like how tight the skin is stretched and what it is made out of. Such a solution must also obey the physical constraint that there is no motion at the boundary of the drum, where the skin is nailed down.
Every sound can be composed into its overtones. A pure overtone with frequency $\omega$ corresponds to a solution to the wave equation which looks like $f(x,y,t) = g(x,y) \cos(\omega t+b)$ where $$- \frac{\omega^2}{c^2} g =\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} g + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} g \quad (\ast \ast).$$ Therefore, to understand the sound of a drum, one should figure out for which $\omega$ the PDE $(\ast \ast)$ has solutions which are zero on the boundary of the drum. This is called computing the spectrum of the drum, and a property of the drum which depends only on these $\omega$'s is called a property which one "can hear".
The lowest frequency, which will give the fundamental tone of the drum, will correspond to the lowest nonzero $\omega$ for which $(\ast \ast)$ has solutions. Of course, $(\ast \ast)$ always has the solution that $g$ is a constant and $\omega =0$.
OK, so far that made sense. Now the terminology does something illogical. The name "harmonic" is attached not to the lowest nontrivial frequency, but to the zero frequency. That is to say, $g$ is called "harmonic" if it obeys $$0=\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} g + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} g \quad (\ast \ast \ast).$$ I don't know the actual history here, but I think of this as a form of mathematical obtuseness. "You musicians want to study the lowest frequency of vibration? Well you can't get lower than zero!"
The actual physical question addressed by $(\ast \ast \ast)$ is "what are the possible stable shapes for a drumhead, if the boundary is not planar? So, if the rim of my drum varies in height, but I tack the drumhead to it anyway, what shape will the drumhead sit at when we're not pounding on it? This is the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation; if I give you the values of a harmonic function on the boundary, what does the interior look like?
I think the connection is that both are connected to the study of the vibrations of a taut string, with precedents dating back to ancient Greece. The Greeks discovered that plesant-sounding (harmonic!) tone intervals were related to small-integer ratios between the dimensions of the producers of the sound.
For an idealized string instrument, the wavelength of the fundamental modes of vibrations are $\frac{2L}{n}$, $n\in \mathbb N^+$. These are also the terms of a harmonic series, hence the name of the latter.
In another direction, the study of oscillations of more general physical objects than strings leads to partial differential equations that are variations of the wave equation. Harmonic functions then encode the relative amplitudes at different places in the object for each mode of vibration.

Anybody who talks about millionaires Vs billionaires is missing the reason for the work stoppage.
My biggest question, and one that has yet to be answered, is what exactly do the players want? In '87 they wanted free agency, a fair opportunity to recieve honest value for their services. In 2011 do they just want more money? Do they think they're going to get a court ordered raise?
Remember it was the players who, by their own admission, walked away from negotiations not the owners. Owners who as business men negotiate deals all day every day. As business men that's all they do, that's their life. Why would they suddenly stop now? To go to litigation in the liberal court system that's given players everything they have ever asked for? That's what the owners wanted? That's their master plan?
Look, there are two ways to make a name for yourself, by building something up and by tearing something down. The labor stoppage is because DeMaurice Smith is the latter. Just ask Takeo Spikes who has already said the plan is to return in August. We haven't had a hearing yet and they already have their return planned?
This is about D-Smith milking the labor shortage for all it's worth before the players abandon him when they start to miss their game checks. Don't be surprised to see the players suddenly come back to the table in August for no apparant reason, regardless of the court rulings, and sign a similiar CBA to what they already had. Also, don't be surprised to see D-Smith running for an office somewhere (likely the U.S. House) in 2012.
It is true that D-Smith has intentions to run for office. He said as much before he became the NFLPA grand poohbah. He saw this as a stepping stone, and certainly he has made his mark; whether that's good or bad is debatable.
I'd also like to remind everyone that the players as a group aren't necessarily the most well-informed about what's going on. They play the game and get paid, but they might not know (or care) about the bigger picture. The NFL was saying the players got 70% of the pay in the last CBA. The players wanted to make it more fair, but an independent audit showed that they actually get less than 53%. The owners - being businessmen - took some chargeouts out of the mix to get to 70% and the players were "surprised" to see the actual number. I'm not convinced that they know what they want at this point, other than to make the same amount and be taken care of after their playing days. Their leadership is leading them down a path, be it good or bad.
The business owners want to keep their status as the people who bring us football and make lots of money and get tax breaks and what not; and they keep their books closed.
Clearly, there's a lot of political grandstanding happening. The courts have already been asked to step in, and its only a matter of time before congress inserts themselves into it. You have people on both sides of the union argument (its good! its bad!) stating their opinion because the NFL has (or had?) a union and its a hotly debated topic overall these days.
I've heard several players say that they're glad for the break. No "voluntary" workouts this year. I have no doubt that there will be no more than one game missed. But in the meantime, football is not the escape that it should be. Sport is supposed to be fun and take us away from the "real world," and yet this year it is part of the real world. And I find that disturbing.
I miss the triteness of who is the better QB - Fiedler or Huard, and what's the story between Jimmy and Danny and will Ricky be in a tent in Australia?

It was an invasion of sorts, although fields of green corn standing tall and blowing in the wind look about the same in August, whether it's Indiana or North Carolina.
The year was 1994, and NASCAR was taking its long-standing show to Hoosierland, going to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the very first time.
Tony George, president of Indy, and Bill France, president of NASCAR, had come to terms and even had a name for the race-the Brickyard 400.
All was going well, although we from down South knew some of the highbrows of open-wheel racing figured next to opening the speedway for goat roping and a barbecue festival, stock cars were the worst thing
Why, the next thing you know, they figured, that crowd of Southerners will be trying to hold Saturday night barn dances in our basketball gymnasiums, and three-day fiddler conventions all along the banks of the Wabash.
Most of the Indiana media, or the ones that counted, met regulars on the stock car beat with open arms and were super nice.
On the opening day of qualifying, Rick Mast, not exactly a household name on some streets in South Bend, captured the pole position. The natives were expecting Jeff Gordon, who grew up down the road a ways
Members of the media took their seats in the press room, and Mast, a native son of the great Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia, a son of the soil from Rockbridge Bath, was about to speak
"Yes, Washington and Lee University is near my home. And before you bring it up, I have never been asked to sit in Robert E. Lee's office chair, which is on the campus," Mast said. "I don't live far from Lexington, where both Washington and Lee and VMI are located. We're rather smart people, and it takes two colleges for some of us."
Mast laughed and joked with the media, and told about how he got into racing. He is quick with wit and good with stories. "My daddy and uncle had this little racetrack there close to home," he related. "Man, I wanted to race from the time I was just a kid, but I knew I had to come up with my own racecar. I didn't have much money."
There was a young lady from one of the Indiana newspapers who kept digging and digging, obviously trying to find out from Mast what reform school he had escaped from. She was going to make him a rough-and-rowdy good old Southern boy, whether he was or not, and Mast in no way fits the mold she was trying to put him into.
"How did you get the money?" she asked.
"Well, I had a cow," he explained, "and I traded my cow for my first racecar."
"What was the cow's name?" she asked.
Mast looked at her and smiled just a little. She had stepped over the last log on the way to the fireplace and didn't know it. "Madam, where I come from cows don't have names until about 2 o'clock in the morning."
The press room came unglued with laughter, and Mast became a favorite with all the media, North and South, as if he wasn't already with the stock car press corps.
He is a prince of a guy, still living in this place called Rockbridge Bath, Virginia, just a few miles from Natural Bridge, and not far from a resort called Homestead.
So what is he doing these days? "Just about everything my wife asks me to do," he says.
Rick ran into some problems, or some problems ran into him. Anyway, he was sick for a long time, and is doing well now
His last race was the All-Star Challenge event at Lowe's Motor Speedway in2002.
"I think it began in March of 2002," he says. "I woke up at Bristol and didn't feel well. Things never got better after that. When I ran the Challenge race at Charlotte, I knew I couldn't drive 600 miles. After the 50-mile Challenge event, I could hardly get in my street car."
What Mast had was carbon monoxide poisoning, and it took him a long time and a lot of pain to find out. He had dizziness, headaches and nausea. The doctors were running test after test.

Marianna- State lawmakers passed legislation to relieve septic tank owners by doing away with the unpopular law that required five year tank inspections and repairs. But people in Jackson County may not get the same relief.
Though the tank inspection program is optional for most counties, counties that sit on a first magnitude spring, like Jackson County, have to opt out of the program. The county has until January 1 to make the decision, and county commissioners are not taking it lightly.
"We do have a first magnitude spring here, it's blue springs which is one of the gems of our county and we're very concerned about that but at the same time we know that we've had septic tanks operating here in Jackson County for decades now with no problem"
said Jackson County Commissioner, Jeremy Branch.
The Health Department oversees the mandates that would stem from this program. "You would certainly want [tanks] regulated to the point that the danger of contamination from septic tank systems is minimized to the the [lowest] extent possible" said William Long, the Jackson County Health Department Administrator.
But Long said the large majority of septic tank owners in Jackson County, an estimated 19,000 homes, take care of their tanks without having to be told or inspected and have been for years.
Many in the area feel the mandate is intrusive, expensive and unnecessary. "We were talking about anywhere from 5 to 15 thousand dollars out of the pockets of hard working Jackson County families. That's too much overstep when there has been no scientific proof that septic tanks are failing and causing a contamination problem here in North Florida" said Branch.
But, county commissioners plan to hold several hearings on the issue so everyone's voice can be heard. A date has not yet been set.

A Good Teammate is....
- Respectful
- Trustworthy
- Unified (and puts the common purpose before self)
- A Communicator
- A Solution
- Appreciative
- Supportive
- Part of a Transformation
Queens junior Heather Kennedy '15 has been playing soccer since she was four years old. It's a sport she's always loved and a talent she's always had. Her talent led her to compete collegiately for Queens where she plays forward, helping the team make it to the conference tournament for the past two years.
But Heather's story is a bit different than the rest of the players on the team. Heather is legally deaf, something that hasn't stopped her from attaining her goals on and off the field. She is part of the U.S. Deaf Soccer Team, a team of young women who represent the U.S at two international competitions that take place every four years: the Deaflympics and the World Cup.
To become a member of this highly competitive team, players must have a hearing loss of at least 55 decibels or more in each ear. Some wear hearing aids, but they must remove them before entering the field for competition. Others have cochlear implants and rely on sign language and lip reading in order to play mutely. Like any other team, players must go through a rigorous tryout process to make the cut.
During her daily life, Heather wears a hearing aid. She had never played soccer without it until the World Cup competition last year. It took a bit of getting used to but she relies on her teammates and lip reading when on the field.
- Katie Talbert, Queens' Head Women's Soccer Coach
The U.S. Deaf Soccer Team has been remarkably successful. They won gold at the Deaflympics in 2005, 2009 and again this past summer in Bulgaria, playing teams from all over the world including Great Britain, Russia, Poland, Greece, Germany and Japan. More than 4,000 deaf athletes came together in Bulgaria for the event.
"I've used this experience to realize my hearing loss is not a disability but rather an advantage when I'm on the field with my Queens' teammates," said Heather. "If it weren't for their encouragement and support, I wouldn't have made the U.S. Deaf Soccer Team and had this amazing opportunity to strengthen my skills."
Back home in Charlotte, Heather has rejoined her Queens teammates as the 2013-2014 season gets underway. The Royals are currently ranked 22nd in the nation, their highest ranking in history, and third in the southeast region.
This year, the team set its sights on making it to the NCAA tournament. It will require a lot of hard work, dedication and making the most of each other's individual talents, including Heather's keen sense of what's going on around her on the field. Team members agree Heather's unique situation is a huge asset, but it has also helped to create a close-knit bond among them. The end result: a team with endless possibilities for success.

An excuse to visit the Moelwyn range after 20 years
By clive on Apr 21, 2008
Ran in the Ras Y Moelwyn (the Moelwyn Race) race on Saturday over the three peaks of Moelwyn Mawr, Moelwyn Bach and Moel yr Hydd in north Wales. At 10 miles and 2500ft of up it was the next step up in difficulty being a "proper mountain race", to my previous 2 races. Still, pleased with my time and place, but significant scope for improvement.
In contrast to my other 2 races in previous months which were organized by Fell Runners for Fell Runners, this was organized by the community of Blaenau Ffestiniog and the race is in its 26th year. The organization and marshaling was spot on with a very significant commitment from the local people. Navigation involved following either very well defined paths or on the open mountain running from one marshal in a fluorescent jacket to the next a few 100 meters away. The whole vibe of the race means I will be back for sure next year.
I am spending this week in Prague teaching SGRT to the Software Systems Test Group. I think I am now the longest serving/suffering active SGRT Program Leader in Sun, but if you know different please add a comment. Many of the people trained in SGRT over the years have moved to senior management positions and are now not active in training and delivery of troubleshooting. However, they still use the Rational Process in their new roles, even outside the context of direct customer problem troubleshooting. This demonstrates to me that SGRT has served them well as a tool to develop their careers as New Rational Managers.
Me, I will stick to technical problem solving and the lunacy involved in running down hills as fast as my little legs will carry me.

Thermochemical property measurements and calculation program development for alloy design.
Energetic calculation is one of the most important tools used in alloy design and optimization. The computations based on energetics for both equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transformations will be used to develop new alloys and processing. Students will use thermodynamic theory to describe the properties of alloys.
The internship will be divided into two parts:
- Experimental measurements: to determine enthalpy of mixing for liquid, enthalpy of formation for compound using solution calorimeter; enthalpy and heat capacity of undercooled liquid alloy using Electromagnetic Levitation Drop Adiabatic Calorimeter.
- Calculation program development using C++.
Program mentor: Shihuai Zhou, assistant scientist III, Ames Laboratory

The Panthers have faced the Kokomo Wildkats each of the last 2 years in the Sectional Playoffs. Both of these games have been won by Snider, but not before shutting down the Wildkats potent rushing game. This years Wildkat team again has a very strong ground game, that was used to bounce the Homestead Spartans out of the 2011 Playoffs. To win their 20th Sectional the Panthers will need to continue to put a clamp on the the Kokomo ground game. Vs South Side and North Side the Snider defense has given up only 14 points. This years group of Seniors will look to continue that trend as we look to claim this years Sectional title. The Kokomo visitor's stands are small, plan on arriving early to get a great seat. The team is ready, the students are ready and we will see if Kokomo is ready… a narrative essay We are….SNIDER!! Congrats to the following Panthers for their ALL-SAC Seletion: Addison Dellinger, Ruben Holcomb, Kendrix Thomas, John Nelson, Donte Bowen, and James Starks. This is a special shout-out from Sniderfootball.org to the student section and to all the cheerleaders. YOU GUYS AND GALS ROCK!! Your support at the games this year has not gone unnoticed, its been AWESOME!! Photos from this years Snider Bowl, won by the Blackhawk Eagles are in the photo gallery. zp8497586rq

intel do have an ARM based processor (XScale) so it's not something
they're unfamiliar with. They would likely need additional licensing

Imagine a laptop with a 2 core ARM and 4 core x86, the later at low/zero
power idle until needed.
I'm not sure how intel stack up on the GPU side when compared to ATI and
the others - would their own GPU or ARMs GPU be enough?
There is a growing market for a desktop iPad. People who are used to using
them want (or soon will) the same thing on their desktop. They don't want
iOS features of a Mac, they don't want to have to learn/remember another
system, and if they could keep it down to one, they would be happy.
This could easily be done with the processor in the iPad 2, but may require
a better graphics chip to cover the larger screen size. Eventually users
will find it underpowered and a quad core or two dual core processors will
be needed.
What it really depends upon is how well iOS responds to multiple cores
and how many cores Apple can put on one "chip" or how many chips it can
put in one "box".
The iPad 2 runs a dual-core A5. From there, n cores should be a lesser (or non) issue. Using GCD in the OS (as Mac OS X does and iOS presumably does) makes growing iOS over n cores all but trivial - and includes calls to the GPU (2?) that is(are) part of the A5 (whether via GCD, OpenCL or OpenGL).
Stretching this to a multi-type CPU type via GCD or OpenCL seems a natural. (I predict that GCD will be making cloud calls at some point - eg: invoking processes "in the cloud" to return results to the computer).
As for the processors, Intel is no better than FreeScale or IBM in the long
run. Apple is just one of many customers and not the largest by any means.
The difference between them is that Intel makes far more processors than
Apple would ever use, but Freescale did not, nor did IBM.
It doesn't matter that Freescale and IBM didn't have a lot of processors, only that they were far too slow to introduce a cooler cpu for laptops. (Or rather intel put up a better promise...)
intel face the same pitfall - but there's always AMD as a potential challenger which would cause far less pain to the customer base. And of course intel have the resources to respond to Apple, something Freescale / IBM appear to have lacked.

"Arrow" is ready to return to CW with new episodes, and the cast is also back at work filming. On Friday, Jan. 10, Stephen Amell shared a new photo from the set, and fans can expect a huge fight for Oliver Queen in the near future. The photo shared by Amell showed a very beat up face. He was clearly in make-up for the series when he took the photo.
Enstarz did tease a battle coming up on the series on Jan. 10. This scene will feature Oliver with Black Canary, and the pair will battle The League of Assassins once again. Black Canary is played by Caity Lotz, and she has gained popularity on the series since her addition. It isn't clear if this battle is the same battle Amell was filming on Friday or not, but it is possible.
Oliver Queen will have a lot to do during the second half of the season. He is not having the best time fighting these new super soldiers this season either, and that will continue to happen. What do you think? Who took down Oliver Queen on set this week? "Arrow" will continue to air on CW on Wednesday nights.

Béla Fleck: The Sinister Minister
The Sinister Minister
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (Warner Brothers 9 26124-2)
BĂ©la Fleck (banjo), Victor Wooten (bass),
Howard Levy (harmonica, keyboards), Roy Wooten (synthe-axe/Drumitar).
Composed by Béla Fleck.
Recorded: Nashville, TN, 1989
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
In the early days of fusion, one could never imagine that some day one of its more popular exponents would be playing a banjo. John McLaughlin pulled one out with the One Truth Band for a number. But aside from that one-off, there were no banjos to be found anywhere. It's not just about the banjo. Who would have expected that bluegrass music would find its way into fusion music? There is a slight lineage from the Southern jazz-rock of the Dixie Dregs. But still, there was no banjo or bluegrass. It took Béla Fleck, among others, to do that.
"Sinister Mister" is really a showcase for bassist Wooten. His walking electric bass sounds more like he is skipping down the street gathering up the kids for a game. It is immediately infectious. It grabs you at the beginning and never lets you go. Levy's harmonica also beckons. There may be a sinister tone to all this, but it is fun sinister, like the Munsters. Béla takes a lighthearted solo: no heavy lifting. To be honest, on this number, there is more blues than bluegrass. At the break, Wooten does some real cool bass stuff before the musicians put their instruments down to get the game started.
Nowadays, we have what is known as "newgrass." This is progressive bluegrass music that contains elements of fusion. Who would have thunk it? Well, Béla Fleck, Sam Bush and some others, that's who.

I might be mistaken but I seem to recall some people have gotten longer prison sentences for evading similar amounts in taxes.
Falsely using confidential taxpayer information to steal $222,000 from the government while working at the tax department has cost former Inland Revenue Department staffer Anita Gail O'Connor a two years, five months prison sentence.
O'Connor was sentenced to jail in the Hamilton District Court on 163 charges, including 24 of corrupt use of official information, relating to her use of other taxpayers' personal details to establish bank accounts and funnel money to fund cars, shopping and gambling.
O'Connor had worked at IRD since 1992 when she began offending in June 2007. She left the department in 2009. Funds continued to arrive in falsely established bank accounts managed by O'Connor until November 2010, a 40-month period.
The offending was only discovered a year after she left, when a taxpayer advised IRD that an incorrect bank account number was associated with her account.
An investigation established that O'Connor had used the names and details of other people and false identifies to gain Working for Families tax credits and access to child support refunds.
She set up bank accounts under two false names and a total of just over $222,000 was paid into those accounts by IRD over the three years and four months between June 2007 and November 2010.
Theft from the government and misuse of private taxpayer information by a tax official are regarded as particularly serious crimes in the tax department.
Inland Revenue Deputy Commissioner Mary Craig says the sentence shows how seriously this type of offending is treated.
"O'Connor's actions were a betrayal of her responsibilities and the trust put in her as an Inland Revenue employee. It was calculated and deliberate behaviour involving theft of public money.
"This sort of incident is very rare, but is exceptionally disappointing. It is a reflection on the individual, but sadly also impacts on the rest of our staff, who have an extremely strong and proud record of public service and integrity."
O'Connor admitted her offending. She said some of the money was paid to her associates and was also used to buy cars, goods and groceries, and for gambling.
IRD is taking steps to recover the money.

text: Are you ready to tackle a lesson on another band logo? Well, since this band is now touring I thought it would be cool to fill the request on how to draw Linkin Park logo, step by step. As you can see the L and P are intertwined within one another and surrounded by a circle. There are two empty gaps at the top and bottom of the circle, making this one of the easiest band logos to tackle. If you are a fan of Linkin Park, have fun with drawing Linkin Park's logo.

The 2nd Annual Builders Ball
Early Race Number Pick-up
Where: The Providence Biltmore. 11 Dorrance Street, Providence, RI 02903
When: Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, 7-10 p.m.
Dating back to the early 1970s, New England has been the vanguard of building custom bicycle frames. The tradition continues to this day in all materials, steel, aluminum, carbon and titanium. This event showcases both established and emerging artisans who will display their latest and greatest offerings in one of New England's most elegant rooms in the Providence Biltmore.
For frame-builders interested in exhibiting at the event, space is limited. Exhibitor fees start at just $129. Contact Eric Weis at email@example.com or 401-450-7155 for more information.
Visit newenglandbuildersball.com.
Proceeds benefit the East Coast Greenway Alliance.
Builders in attendance:
44 Bikes (Lyndeborough NH) strongly believes there are few things more satisfying than riding a bicycle and the shared experience of the trail. Nestled in the hills of Northern New England, 44 pours all of their passion and experience into handcrafted, custom tig welded bicycle frames made in their shop in New Hampshire. 29″ mountain bikes are the specialty.
Alternative Needs Transportation (ANT) (Holliston MA ): Ant bicycles is a small bicycle fabrication shop run by Mike Flanigan and Betsy Eckel Scola in Holliston, MA. We are dedicated to building bikes for transportation that have the right combination of function and style. Mike has been in the bike trade since 1983 and joined the Boston bike building scene in 1989.
Budd Bike Works (Boston MA): Hand crafted steel and TIG welded construction with tube sets from Dedaccai, Columbus, Tange, and True Temper for optimal performance of your size, strength, and riding style. Awe Yeah!
Chapman Cycles (Providence RI) will be (and has been) pushing the limits of my craftsmanship and my vision of the true integrated bicycle. I'm trying to take my work to a new level where I can explore new technologies while still adhering to a classic aesthetic. I try to get to this new level by foreseeing the bike as a whole before making the first file stroke. With that mental image, I can then start the design and pay attention to the details during the build. I love the details. The details show that care, thought, and consideration went into every aspect of the frame and its components.
Circle A Cycles (Providence RI): We may be North America's most sarcastic frame builder, but we're not prone to false modesty here at Circle A Cycles. That being said, we'll not mince words: we build the best bikes on the planet. People stop me on the street and ask, "Is it true that Circle A Cycles builds the best bikes on the planet?" This is what I tell them: "To be honest – and I do prefer to be honest – yes. Yes we do." So there you have it.
Cleverhood (Providence RI) is a small company in Providence with the will to sell a superior product made in the USA. We've created the eponymous Cleverhood, a smart-looking, high-performance rain cape. The 'hood has been designed, crafted and manufactured in the US, putting good people to work. And every single, high-quality material that we could get, like zippers, trim and tags, are local too. Some of our fabrics are from overseas. But we'll change that if it means we can still provide a superior product.
Dharma Cycles (Providence RI): classic steel frames from Providence, RI.
Dornbox Bikes (Cumberland ME): With a background in art, design, structures, and industrial fabrication, I design and build every Dornbox frame to perform and fit as nicely as it looks. While I wholly believe that every material is a great choice for a given situation or set of needs, due to the durability, value, ride characteristics, and versatility to meet nearly every set of cycling needs, I decided to exclusively offer frames made from steel.
Firefly Bicycles (Boston MA) is a new name in world-class, handcrafted road, cross and mountain bike frames. While our company is relatively new Tyler, Jamie and Kevin have designed, crafted, and fit bikes for a combined 38+ years in the Boston area. We shaped one of the most revered small bicycle frame builders in the world — and, in the process, we helped to shape national and international cycling and bike culture. Every single Firefly bike is made here in Boston from the highest quality stainless steel and titanium tubing.
Geekhouse Bikes (Boston MA) is a custom steel TIG welding operation based in Boston, MA. We take 'Made in the USA' very seriously. Founded in 2002 by bespectacled bike-geek Marty Walsh, we produce a range of bicycle frames for all types of riding. We work hard to source as much as possible from within the United States and we hold green business practices in high esteem. By utilizing a small staff, we take the time to personally cater to your ideas and we love watching each and every build take on the personality and individuality of our customers.
Spooky Bikes (Bellows Falls VT ), made by people using machines in America, specifically MTB Hall of Famer and aluminum pioneer Frank The Welder. We use as many domestically-sourced raw materials as possible, union labor when we need to, and life-long friends when we can. There is nothing "green" about making stuff out of aluminum or stuff in general, as the general public is starting to understand – BUT our bikes are built to last. One aluminum frame made domestically and built to last 15 years is going to have a much smaller carbon footprint than a new Chinese-Made $4k wonderframe that needs to be replaced every time you lean it against a parking meter. Reduce, Downcycle but most importantly, shred every day.
Watson Cycles (Waterford CT) constructs finely crafted custom bicycles and intricate cycling-related fabrications, including racks and custom-bent titanium bars. Our primary aim is to deliver bicycles of the highest quality craftsmanship in order to maximize one's enjoyment of the sport. Each project begins with a central principle and is then designed to address the specific needs of an individual. All models are made from a high-end selection of True Temper tubing and built with a focus on using American-made products.

If you want a taste of Gregory Marchand's cooking without the challenge of scoring a reservation at Frenchie, this is where to go. But go early, like 15 minutes before they open at 7pm, or don't go at all. The small plates and wine selection are excellent, but the throbbing crowds make this place unmanageable on all but the luckiest of evenings.

Wine geek finds new refuge in Haut Marais
Monsieur Henri (75003) Natural wine scene fixture Dzine Breyet has opened a new wine bar in the haute Marais, featuring "harsh lighting, a low ceiling, and ill-advised primary-coloured wine storage cages," according to Aaron Ayscough. However, "the value of a divey geek wine bar like Monsieur Henri lies in individualist eccentricities [like multiple Jura white being offered by the glass that night]. Monsieur Henri contains magnums of challenging wines. It offers cult eau de vie de cidre. It is perceptibly run by someone with a passionate investment in the scene."

Frenchie Wine Bar to double in size
The rue du Nil, when Greg Marchand set up Frenchie restaurant, was nowheresville. Three years later, it's a scene. Lines form before 7pm outside Frenchie Bar à Vins, which Marchand opened across the street in June 2011. Some have arrived with the deluded hope that there might be a cancellation at the restaurant. Most are there for the wine bar itself, which serves small plates and charcuterie. They scribble their names on a clipboard waiting list, spill wine on the cobblestones, and bring life to what was previously a dark little street.
In a few days, Marchand will complete work on an expansion of Frenchie Bar à Vins. The wine bar will reopen in the rentrée (after closing from July 28-August 22) with twenty-two additional seats, two new chefs from Denmark and Sweden, and a much larger kitchen. The former prep area, where 100 plates per night were created in a space that was smaller than la toilette, will be re-purposed for cold wine storage and cured meats.
Beneath the surface, Marchand has doubled the size of the cave to permit better storage and increased wine sales. He's added another prep area, anticipating a future in which Frenchie Wine Bar might make produce in-house everything that's on the menu. That will certainly include the house-made pasta he plans to add to the wine bar menu.
With this expansion, it's clear that Marchand plans to stay in the Sentier and not relocate to a more central and larger location. He considered the latter, but says he loves the community that's growing up around the rue du Nil. In the not-so-distant-future, that community will include a retail space for Terroirs d'Avenir (7, rue du Nil), the distributors of pristine produce that supply Frenchie, Saturne, Au Passage, Verjus, and many other ingredient-driven restaurants.

For fans of Showtime's "Masters of Sex" the second season premiere is just around the corner. Ahead of the show's July 13th premiere, Showtime has released a full two minute trailer of what viewers can expect in the upcoming season after last season's intense cliffhanger.
Last season left off with Dr. Masters, portrayed by Michael Sheen, showing up at the home of Virginia Johnson, portrayed by Lizzy Caplan, saying that he couldn't live without her. At the end of last season Masters and Johnson were not on speaking terms and he was struggling with his feelings towards her while she entertained a proposal from Dr. Ethan Haas, a doctor that she was seeing on and off through the season.
In addition to the cliffhanger with Virginia and Bill, Bill's boss Barton Scully had just lost his job due to Bill's sex study and was getting ready to start aversion therapy to deal with his homosexuality.
In the trailer, Virginia and Bill struggle to keep their affair in check as Bill's home life struggles with his wife and new baby. According to "Entertainment Weekly", Virginia gives Ethan a definitive answer regarding his proposal in the premiere episode. Considering that he is moving to California and Virginia continues her affair with Bill, it would appear her answer is a foregone conclusion.
A few cast changes were announced over the last few months for Season 2 as well. Analeigh Ashton, who plays Betty, was upgraded to a series regular from recurring status. In addition, Keke Palmer, Courtney B. Vance and Sarah Silverman were added in recurring roles.
Based on the true story of Bill Masters and Virginia Johnson who were pioneers in their studies of human sexuality, viewers know that the two characters eventually end up getting married several years after they begin their work together. While the first season focused more on the work between the two, the second season appears to dive more into the emotional and physical affair between the two that in real life ultimately ended Masters' first marriage.
The second season of "Masters of Sex" premieres on Sunday July, 13th on Showtime, Cox Cable channel 340.

The FDA has used its authority under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act for the first time to order a manufacturer of currently available tobacco products to stop selling,distributing them, or importing them anywhere in the United States.
The products are all thin, hand-rolled cigarettes filled with tobacco and wrapped in leaves from a tendu tree that are tied with string known as bidis, and are popular in India as well as throughout South Asia and parts of the Middle East, where they are cheaper than regular cigarettes. The CDC, however, notes that bidis contain about 3-5 times the amount of nicotine, as well as carbon monoxide, and tar posing an even greater risk for oral cancers as well as lung disease and heart disease.
The banned products, manufactured by Jash International of India, are sold under the brand names Sutra Bidis Red, Sutra Bidis Menthol, Sutra Bidis Red Cone, and Sutra Bidis Menthol Cone.
"Historically, tobacco companies controlled which products came on and off the market without any oversight," stated Mitch Zeller, J.D., director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. "But the Tobacco Control Act gave the FDA, a science-based regulatory agency, the authority to review applications and determine which new tobacco products may be sold and distributed under the law in order to protect public health. If a company fails to provide the necessary information to show that their product is 'substantially equivalent' to a predicate product, the FDA has the authority to declare a product not substantially equivalent, which means that it can no longer be sold or distributed in interstate commerce," he continued.
According to authorities, Jash International did not provide the required data.
While current inventories of bidis could be subject to seizure, without further notice, the FDA plans to refrain from taking any action against retails for the next 30 days provided that the tobacco products were purchased prior to the cease and desist order. In the meantime the Food and Drug Administration has issued draft guidance containing more information on the agency's enforcement policy for certain tobacco products that the FDA finds not substantially equivalent. The guidelines will be open for public comment for 60 days, beginning Tuesday, February 25.

EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon heads down to Fresno, Calif., for the Bulldog Classic hosted by Fresno State this weekend (Nov. 1-3) wrapping up its fall season. Allie Hueffner, Kadie Hueffner, Nicole Long and Lena Macomson will make their first appearance of the 2014 season joining Lina Åkesson and Jasmine Minor.
Long, UO's lone ranked player (No. 70), makes her first appearance in the 2013-14 season after recording a 22-11 record last season. Like Long, Macomson will be making her first appearance of the season at the classic as well as playing in the open doubles portion of the tournament with FCC's Maya Mammetgulyyeva.
The Hueffner twins, who are two-time state doubles champions, will make their collegiate debut in Flight A doubles action. Oregon's other doubles pair will be Long and Minor.
The Ducks are one of seven teams participating in the tournament that includes: Cal Poly, Fresno State, Fresno Pacific, Fresno Community College, Idaho and Portland State.
First serve is slated to begin at 10 a.m. for all flights in singles play while doubles matches are set to begin at 9 a.m.
Last time out at the ITA/USTA Northwest Regional, Åkesson started her collegiate career 2-0 before having to retire with an injury after the first day. Minor went 1-1 on the first day and finished the tournament 3-1 in singles action.

Single player is very polished, but multi has a few spots.
For instance, I don't always get credit for my kills even if I can verify that the guy who got it was not in any shape or fashion near or attacking my victim.
This may be a lag issue, sometimes I get a message that I killed myself when I fire a weapon that should not hace an area affect to make such a thing happen, IE DC17, Shotgun....
The falls don't make sense sometimes. I always get hurt in the short drops from the vents that lead to the sewer (Is it a sewer?) in lockdown yet I can make some insanely crazy-long jumps that should, but don't, hurt me in other areas. Any imput on that vent drop I am not catching? I know I have made jumps twice that with out even stubbing a toe.
Sometimes I get a human vioice while playing trando.....Are there clone traitors leading them or what?
When in CTF and people go down vents with the flag there is flag glow where the flag is not almost every time.
In single player when rescuing the second wookie I notice the trandoshans MANY grenades were not harming me or my mates.....only I ccould complain about NOT getting hurt, lol
Not a bug, but the game could deal with some larger outside maps employing some turrets for base defense......make snipers a bit more useful..........maybe that is just me.......

Getting it right
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
Some teaching and child frustrations cropping up the last few days. One of our students was out for several months for some serious medical issues. He's back now, though the issues aren't resolved, merely temporarily managed. Today, I put him through his paces, seeing how much he had forgotten - and the answer was quite a bit. He made it through the five kata he's responsible for, but with major mistakes in all of them, and he's forgotten about half of his vocabulary.
At the end of this, he wanted to know if he could test for blue belt soon! Apparently he feels he's been an orange belt long enough, and the idea that he really does have to know and be able to perform the requirements of the blue belt test accurately in order to get a blue belt hasn't made an impression on him at all. Which rather boggles me. We have a different, but similar issue with my son Robbie, who has now been a blue belt for what feels like forever. He knows his stuff. He knows he can't test for green until he can perform it all up to snuff. Literally he could test for green belt next week - if he cared enough about getting things right to perform with attention and enthusiasm. Instead he walks through all his kata as if sleep-walking, and fights entirely in defensive mode unless someone pisses him off.
In both cases, there seems to be a fundamental disconnect with the way I think. Neither child seems to see any base importance to getting things right. Robbie cares if he knows what right is - but not if he performs it at any given point (drives his music teachers starkers!) Once he knows he knows it, he doesn't subsequently care if anybody else can tell. C - the other child, on the other hand, doesn't seem to feel that even knowing correctly in the first place is important.
In order to be a good and effective teacher, I need to be able to work with the kids (aka, I want to get being a teacher right!) - but I have no idea how to inspire these kids to care. I can't just make them care or be enthusiastic.
Rob says that I care about getting things right a lot more than most people do, and he's probably right, but I just can't see putting in time and effort on something and doing it half-assed. Makes no sense to me at all. I can understand when someone is forced into something - Lord knows I wasn't enthusiastic about every required aspect of school (Gym anyone? Yuck!) - but C wants to be in karate badly enough to come when his mother would rather he stay home because she worried sick about his illnesses (lung and neurological), and Robbie requested to come back to karate after a nearly three year hiatus, so he knows very clearly that he's not required to be there, and has repeatedly said he wants to keep coming.
I see similar things all over the music studio I go to. Half the singers in the beginning bands aren't remotely on key (I didn't even know you could scream off-key, until I heard a horrendous version of Smells Like Teen Spirit). People who want to sing or play, want to be in a band, want to be on stage, but don't seem to get that you need to actually be able to perform well in order to do those things. It boggles my mind, and occasionally makes me want to claw my ears off - having perfect relative pitch is not a blessing around hit-or-miss singers.
Today's Japanese: Watashi-no musuko-wa karate-o benkyo shimasu. My son studies karate.
In Japanese, very much unlike English, verbs are a closed class, while pronouns are an open class. An open class, is a class of words in which there are a large number of words, and to which new words are added all the time. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs would be open classes of words in English. We add new nouns and verbs and adjectives to the language all the time. Closed classes have a limited number of vocabulary words in them, and new words are added very rarely. Pronouns and conjunctions would be examples in English. To give an example, e-mail as a word didn't exist when I was a kid, but it's been adopted thoroughly and by everyone with no fuss at all. Contrariwise, we've been arguing over adding a set of singular, gender-neutral pronouns to the language for my entire life, and are not particularly closer to adding any to common usage.
Well in Japanese, pronouns are an open class. There are at least a dozen different ways of saying "I" - some formal, some casual, some used only by young men, or children, and so on and so forth - and they change all the time. Watashi is a fairly neutral, polite-to-strangers, won't get you in trouble version of "I", but you're just as likely to hear a college student say "Boku" for I instead. Verbs, on the other hand, are a closed class. There are a very limited number of verbs, and they don't change easily. Instead, when they need a new verb, the Japanese use a noun and one of the existing nouns. So "to play tennis" is tenisu-o shimasu (to make tennis). Or as above, "to study" is benkyo-o shimasu.

It is difficult to understand others lackadaisical attitude when it comes to something they claim to care about, especially when its one of our kids which we thought we raised better than the current output we might be receiving from them.

Thank you for the vocabulary lesson! It's sad but we can not give kids the enthusiasm or gusto they need, only the movements. Our kids class also requires that the kata, technique or skill be performed correctly and well, or the student won't promote. Keep pushing, they will get it or they won't but that choice is theirs.

We're all about tools that make our time in the kitchen go smoothly. The Silicone Standing Baster with Brush ($16) by iSi Basics is a silicone baster with a brush on the tip, so you can baste, pour your juices over your meat, or brush on for maximum juiciness when you sit down to dig in. We also like that the baster stands on it's end so we're not jostling a hot oven, a hot bird or roast, and a full baster all at once. It's so nice when the simplest of items make our lives easier!

The Palm Coming to Chambers Street

The Palm, having launched satellite steakhouses everywhere from Atlanta to Atlantic City, will soon have a third restaurant right here in the 212. The restaurant confirmed a tip that a third Palm is coming to the financial district — Chambers Street, to be exact. We're still working on the address but thought you would like to know, because there aren't enough steakhouses popping up in Manhattan these days. Related: Can Downtown Support Another Steakhouse?

On the Treasure Coast of Florida, IRSC Health Professions Department may be visualized as benchmark on delivery of the final product. With the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare means, "good health for all Americans") now on the shelf as far as its presentation to the nation as a whole (effective October 1, 2013 yet in-affective in its botched initial roll out and subsequent attempts to patch up) is visibly becoming a clear picture on the American horizon of a new frontier coming into focus as bold and tremendous as likened unto the time in our geographical history when would be pioneers of land west of the Mississippi and beyond were told to "go west young man" (generically correct as symbolic to mankind reflecting for all times, poetic license). Now is the time for all of the good, bad and even ugly Americans to forge forward with "first aid" to our physical, mental and even social health to begin to heal our land internally and externally for the sake of all that trust and have faith in abilities and intelligence of the men and women of the United States.
Locally in the School District of St. Lucie County, from an education standpoint, work has begun in recruiting and preparing the new wave of health professionals that will lead the way for good health which leads to prosperity for all as we all in America work forward, positively with encouragement shown through brotherly and sisterly love as we embrace each other for the productive over-haul set before us.
The graduating Eagles of Dan McCarty Middle School in Fort Pierce, Fla. earned a visit from Mrs. Michelle Cuba, Coordinator of the Health Professions Department at Indian River State College. Mrs. Cuba spoke to the students in their classrooms about career options that are currently available and in high demand in the health professions, the salaries, and the required course work. She applauded the students for having an interest in the health professions; however, they have to take their current school work seriously in order to be successful academically in high school and college. Students were provided with pamphlets with information in careers such as, registered nursing, practical nursing, nursing assistant, pharmacy technician, medical laboratory technology, phlebotomy, radiology, physical therapist assistant, dental hygiene, and many more.
The future is ours, here for us to mold, shape and create in a better way for justice to all as we labor with power together. Let us now—help our United States of America to grow, learn and earn!

The T6s will add a few additional features to its bill of goods, including servo AF during burst mode in live view, an electronic level, and an HDR movie effect. The T6s body will set you back $850 or $1,200 with an 18-135mm lens.

A week before the Ark sets voyage in Williamstown, country star Joe Nichols and five other area musical acts will be Rockin' the Ridge at Piddle Park in Dry Ridge.
The inaugural event is set for Saturday, July 2, as a way to draw people to the city and celebrate the Fourth of July weekend.
As volunteers entered Williamstown High School cafeteria on June 18, they walked passed huge bags of rice, soy and beans stacked in the hallway. Once inside, they put on hairnets, food service gloves and took their assigned stations, which were tagged with the organization's name, and were supplied with everything they needed to measure, bag and vacuum-seal meals for the needy.

A proposed road could connect Barnes and Ky. 36 near where the Ark Encounter is located in Williamstown. Mayor Rick Skinner and the city council received the results of a preliminary study for the new road from Logan Murphy, senior engineer for Hicks and Mann, Inc., during the council's June 6 meeting.
The proposed road would go off of Barnes and end on Ky. 36, near Heekin Clarks Creek Road, and come out between the Williamstown Family Fun Park and Ark Encounter.

TC TO LADY ASHBURTON ; 14 March 1850; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18500314-TC-LA-01; CL 25: 48-49
Chelsea, 14 March, 1850
What a sad affair is this you are making of it at Addiscombe? 1 Confined to head, headaches &c,—it will never do! I concluded you were out under the silent stars; and holding some kind of soirées with the stars, since not with others. I pray you get better again.
Here we have two days of grim steel grey, and then one of sun,—very bright, yet still with a venom of frost in it, which I cannot pretend to call agreeable. Today (a steel gray one) I am very busy, quite hunted indeed; for three days before, I was good for absolutely nothing; went walking in my desperation, long courses to Hampstead, to Wimbledon,2 tho' horribly unfit for walking too: Oh, the miserable liver of men! That condition, were there no other, and there are several others, would be enough to justify—what shall I say, sacred right of Insurrection?—no, but sacred holding of one's peace; and learning of the severe lessons cut out for one in this Earth!— — The result however is, I am sadly behind with my work; and like to be in a new peck of troubles if I don't mind.
The Aberdeen Rectorage—alas, it was decided weeks ago, and I never heard till the other day. A "sheriff Gordon" elected, re-elected rather (on the principle that everybody shd stay two years), and so I was disallowed, and his Grace ditto.3 And I have not heard the smallest sigh of condolence from you, to assist me in this aggravating issue of matters!
The right Revd of Oxford is getting up a Committee to "interest the working man" in Prince Albert's Exhibition.4 Probably that "interest" will be a little difficult to get up? "Lord Ashley and Mr Milner5 have consented to serve": will you? I answered, "No with a thousand thanks, O soapy!"
Likewise Sir Peter Laurie has written to me; thankful exceedingly for my Anti-Scoundrelism in the Model Prisons; and a Major Smith6 came rushing in, one day, with a divine scheme of employing all Convicts on a railway across the Hudson's Bay Territory,—4000 miles, ending towards the Oregon and California region. Ay de mi!7
We are to dine with Darwin this evening in the most mild manner, and go to see the Nile Panorama afterwards; a small, quite tolerable adven-ture.8— About our dinner on the 23d, I suppose Jane will answer; I for myself intend Yes.9 Good b'ye, dear Lady; a hundred farewells. I pray for blessings on you always; and shall hope to catch some glimpse of you on Tuesday. Take care of the Cold.— T.C.

[Editor's note: the following is an excerpt of The Deep Things of God, 2010, by Fred Sanders, published by Crossway Books. Used by permission.]
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
"You know me better then you think you know, and you shall come to know me better yet."
Reality comes first, and understanding follows it. If you want to cultivate the ability to think well about the Trinity, the first step is to realize that there is more to Trinitarianism than just thinking well. Specifically, the starting point for a durable Trinitarian theology is not primarily a matter of carrying out a successful thought project. Christians are never in the beggarly position of gathering up a few concepts about God and then constructing a grand Trinitarian synthesis out of them. Christians are also not in the position of pulling together a few passages of Scripture, here a verse and there a verse, and cobbling them together into a brilliant doctrine that improves on Scripture's messiness. Instead, Christians should recognize that when we start thinking about the Trinity, we do so because we find ourselves already deeply involved in the reality of God's triune life as he has opened it up to us for our salvation and revealed it in the Bible. In order to start doing good Trinitarian theology, we need only to reflect on that present reality and unpack it. The more we realize that we are already compassed about by the reality of the gospel Trinity, the more our Trinitarianism will matter to us. Evangelicals in particular should recognize that we have everything we need to think about the Trinity in a way that changes everything.
The Trinitarian Theology Of Nick Cruz
Nicky Cruz is not famous for his Trinitarian theology. He is famous for having been the "warlord" of a violent street gang called the Mau-Maus in
But in 1976 Cruz wrote another book to describe what he called "the single most important fact of my Christian growth." The book was The Magnificent Three, and the fact that had become central to Cruz's Christian life by that time was the fact of the Trinity:

First of all this is not one of those JavaScript tab navigation scripts. Actually we are going to use no JavaScript.
Each tab is going to be linked to an ASP.NET MVC controller action. This is how end result is going to look like:
And here is the sample website I have created which contains everything you need:
We have a HTML helper method named SimpleNav that renders the HTML to the master page. This is how it is called:
<div id="menubar">
<%= Html.SimpleNav(new[] {
new SimpleNavItem{Text="Home", Action="Index", Controller = "Home"},
new SimpleNavItem{Text="Blog", Action="Index", Controller = "Blog", GetSelected = ((a, c) => (c == "Blog"))},
new SimpleNavItem{Text="About", Action="About", Controller = "Home", GetSelected = ((a, c) => c == "Home" && a == "About")},
new SimpleNavItem{Text="Contact", Action="Contact", Controller = "Home", GetSelected = ((a, c) => c == "Home" && a == "Contact")}
}) %>
The code for this helper method is very straightforward. It simply generates an unordered list of links:
public static string SimpleNav(this HtmlHelper html, IEnumerable<SimpleNavItem> navItems)
var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(html.ViewContext.RequestContext);
string controller = html.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString();
string action = html.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString();
TagBuilder ul = new TagBuilder("ul");
StringBuilder listBuilder = new StringBuilder();
TagBuilder li = null;
TagBuilder a = null;
foreach (var item in navItems)
a = new TagBuilder("a");
a.Attributes.Add("href", urlHelper.Action(item.Action, item.Controller));
a.InnerHtml = item.Text;
li = new TagBuilder("li");
if (item.GetSelected != null && item.GetSelected(action, controller))
li.InnerHtml = a.ToString();
ul.InnerHtml = listBuilder.ToString();
return ul.ToString();
public class SimpleNavItem
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Action { get; set; }
public string Controller { get; set; }
public Func<string, string, bool> GetSelected { get; set; }
The interesting part of the above code may be GetSelected which is an anonymous method. You might want a tab gets highlighted on certain conditions for example highlight the Blog tab for all Actions of the related Controller. The method accepts two Strings which are name of the current Controller and Action and returns a Boolean which indicated if the tab should be highlighted or not.
The final step which I like the most is to make it pretty. By using a simple background image and a small amount of CSS magic you can easily achieve this:
#menubar {
border-bottom: solid 3px #8CC740;
padding-left: 10px;
#menubar li {
display: inline;
#menubar li a {
float: left;
line-height: 21px;
width: 80px;
margin-right: 1px;
background: url(tabs.gif) no-repeat 0px 0px;
color: #444;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
#menubar li a:hover {
background-position: 0px -22px;
text-decoration: none;
#menubar li.sel a {
background-position: 0px bottom;
color: #fff;
This may not be the most complete solution but it has helped me in so many projects. Hopefully it does the same for you.
First of all this is not one of those JavaScript tab navigation scripts. Actually we are going to use no JavaScript.
Each tab is going to be linked to an ASP.
I found this while researching and it is very helpful for my simple requirements. I like that it stays true to MVC pattern. Thanks!
Thanks a lot frnd, it solved my problem.
Thanks a lot. Please keep posting such kind of articles.
