This year's Austin W. Scott, Jr. lecture is "Augmented Reality & Freedom of Contract" by Professor Scott Peppet.
2010 has been the year of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. Smartphone apps like Yelp, Janaio, Layar and FourSquare show technology's increasing ability to bring location, person, and time-relevant information to anyone, anywhere, thereby augmenting real-space with a rich data layer. These technologies will only become more ubiquitous and powerful as tech heavyweights begin to exploit the opportunities of AR (Facebook's "Places" and Google's "Goggles" are two examples). The lecture will explore AR and its consequences for contracting. As these technologies make more and more information available to us in real time, how will that change the way in which we buy and sell? Contract law has long assumed that bargaining parties are generally uninformed about each other, and often about the goods being exchanged. As information becomes ubiquitous, how will the law of exchange have to adapt? Most basically, will augmented reality increase or decrease our freedom to engage in private ordering?
Professor Peppet has compiled a list of hyperlinks to videos and more information regarding Augmented Reality here.

JWC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 20 November 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18471120-JWC-JF-01; CL 22: 164-165
Saturday [20 November 1847]
Dear Mr Forster
Sure enough we are in "the gloomy month of November when the people of England commit suicide"1—under "attenuating circumstances"!2 The expediency, nay necessity of suiciding myself is no longer a question with me; I am only uncertain as to the manner!
On Thursday I was appointed to go to Notting Hill to see my Husbands Bust, and had to break my appointment. Unfeeling as it looked to let myself be withheld by any weather from going to see my Husbands bust; I thought it would be more really unfeeling to risk an inflamation in my Husband's Wife's chest, which makes my Husband's wife such a nuisance as you, an unmarried man, can hardly figure.
Since then, I have mostly lain on the sofa—under the horse-cloth— "reading with one eye shut, and the other not open" (as poor Darley used to say)3 some of those divine volumes you lent me— Surely it was in the spirit of divination that I selected The Human Body in Health and Disease—And "The means of abridging human Life" And Hints on the formation of character— One has such leisure for forming one's character during a shut up winter!
You perceive whither all this is tending and wish that I would hasten at once to the catastrophe— Well the catastrophe is—I write it with tears in my eyes—that I cannot venture to the Play on Monday night. Even if I did not, as is almost certain I should, bring on my cough I should pass for capricious insane— And the worst of it is, C. having no longer a duty to fulfil—in promoting my happiness—declares that he wont go either—and that I had best write to you that you may take no seats for us—
I do so unwillingly—for if the weather were to "go soft" as Geraldine would say, I might be about again on Monday and in any case, he ought to go to his friend's first night.4 But there is no rebelling against Providence—
I am also bothered about these proofs— C has got some furious objection to my meddling with them—even declares that I "do not know bad grammar when I see it any better than she does"—that "if I HAD any faculty I might find better employment for it" &c &c— So after having written to her that I would do what you wished I must write again, that I am not permitted5—
I do think there is much truth in the young german6 idea that Marriage is a shockingly immoral Institution as well as what we have long known it for an extremely disagreeable one— Please countermand the proofs—for every one that comes occasions a row Ever affectionately
Your J C

Like icing on a cake, polished nails are as important to an outfit as shoes or a bag. Once a mere afterthought, nail art has become a standard feature on runways, red carpets and sidewalks alike—nevermind that these manicured indulgences often chip away after only a few precious days. Thanks to the masterminds at Calbrook Cosmetics, however, eye-catching paws now have pristine staying power.
The US has been obsessed with nailcare for decades and nail art in particular since the '90s, making Calbrook's uniquely protective and artistically dexterous Calgel formula a long awaited answer to boring or frustratingly short-lived manicures. Of the recent trend, New York's Marie's Nails estimates that 90% of their clients now come specifically for the Calgel polish and treatment. And with appointments up to two weeks in advance, they stand by their formula of choice as being "the most highly recommended brand for stubborn, brittle and hard to grow nails."
Whereas other formulas have been known to crack or damage nails, Calgel is the world's first ever soak-off UV gel polish. With its proven nail strengthening formula, the damage-free product is just as thin and natural looking as regular polish, but with a guaranteed life expectancy that exceeds that of common brands. Lasting an average of two to three weeks and requiring minimal touch ups and treatments in between, the brand has become a hit trend and an economical alternative. Easily removable at any time with an acetone-based agent, there is no upkeep or downtime between new visits and no excuse for going unpolished.
And with more than 80 colors to mix and match for customized artistry, the breakthrough technology promises a new generation of manual expression. The heavily trained technicians are talented in everything from 3D to tie dye to ombre designs. The only limit is your imagination—and of course, your cuticle bed.

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford wrapped up the fall season with a pair of convincing first-place finishes at the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference Championships this past weekend in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The Cardinal teamed to post 77 points, far beyond the reach of second-place Long Beach (124) to top the 21-team field in the coed competition. Stanford notched 49 points in the A-Division and 28 in the B-Division.
Oliver Toole and Haley Kirk (A-Division), Kevin Laube and Kelly Ortel (B-Division) and Kieran Chung-Wolf (C-Division) each took part in the coed competition.
Stanford finished first with 14 points to win the dinghy title. Hawaii (28) was second and Long Beach (38) was third among the rest of the 20 teams behind the Cardinal.
In the Sailing World College Rankings released last week, the Cardinal coed squad ranked seventh. On the women's side of the rankings, Stanford checked in at 15th.

Running your own business on your own terms can mean freedom in your schedule and business approach. It can also mean slim funding. This serial entrepreneur and cofounder of The Baby Einstein Company sought to avoid entanglement with venture capitalists and discovered doing business on a cash-only basis was the answer for him.
Entrepreneurs confronting the unhappy task of having to downsize when business conditions change need to execute in a way that preserves the dignity of, and, ultimately, the relationship with, the employees, says an entrepreneur who laid off her entire staff in the wake of the dot-com crash. Downsizing well involves throwing away the rulebook and dealing with people on a personal level, she writes.
An effective drug-testing program can make your workplace safer. Base your policy on legitimate business considerations and apply it fairly. Here's how to comply with the law, avoid litigation and encourage employees to seek treatment.
In today's extremely tight labor market, small-company employers must approach hiring just as they approach selling. To lure able and enthusiastic candidates, the author writes, a CEO should consider such steps as contacting reluctant candidates personally, offering equity compensation to augment salaries, and sending welcoming gifts like fruit baskets. Of particular note is a discussion of factors the author says "count" in the sales-whoops!-the hiring process.
If you think hiring is tough in today's tight labor market, you should figure that retaining people is even tougher. To keep employees, small-company owners must provide more than just competitive compensation packages, the author writes. What really makes the difference is a CEO's ability to communicate an organizational vision and to recognize the people who translate that vision into revenue and profit.
You can not be creative in a vacuum. Understanding your industry and marketplace requires consistent study habits.
Who is the real entrepreneur? What does it mean to be self-employed? Dane Stangler examines this question and what it means to be an entrepreneur during these tumultuous economic times.
At the University of Miami a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend an entrepreneurship class with roughly 40 students. Most of them were juniors and seniors, joined by a small number of law students. The course had so far covered the theoretical literature on entrepreneurship, but on this particular day all the students wanted to talk about was their own futures.
When the attempt to buyout a senior partner failed, business partners realized the necessity for a buy-sell agreement...many years after the business was founded.
During the planning process, entrepreneurs must evaluate their business model to ensure that the current model will support growth.
For effective strategic partner recruitment, the author recommends an eight-step plan, which includes identifying your target market, developing partner selection criteria, and developing an alliance plan with a selected partner.

The credited author of Le Morte d'Arthur, which is one of the most recognizable and used forms of the Arthurian legend, Sir Thomas Malory has captured the imagination of centuries of readers.
Who was he though?
In searching for this answer, I have been met with a lot of pure speculations and contradictions. From answered such as "we do not have enough information to say for sure, but we think..." to a bio of him being in prison, to sources stating that he was a great knight to sources that state that he was basically a sell sword.
I am asking you, my readers, if you have any research material (i.e. a great book, a trustworthy source, ect) that you can share, I would be forever grateful, as what I have found thus far has lead me in circles of frustration.
Thank you.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease most often found in cat feces is now being blamed for the death of more than 400 gray seals off Cape Breton Island in Canada back in 2012. It has also been detected in beluga whales caught in the Beaufort Sea by Inuit hunters according Stephen Raverty, a veterinary pathologist with the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Lands' Animal Health Center.
Generally called "kitty litter disease," because it can be contracted by humans while cleaning out their cats' litterboxes, taxolpasmosis can cause blindness and miscarriages in humans and can kill people with weakened immune systems. It has become known as a characteristic infection in people with AIDS. It is now feared that it could infect Arctic residents who eat the diseased whales as well.
Spread of toxoplasmosis (which was never found in the Artic before) is being blamed on global warming which is causing more and more of the regions ice to melt, thus allowing the parasites to venture further north as natural barriers continue to breakdown, and exposing them to a whole new range of animals.
Because this parasite can cause serious diseases in people, we need to pay attention to its emergence in the North as a new potential threat to food safety," said Michael Grigg, a molecular parasitologist with the U.S. National Institutes of Health and an adjunct professor at UBC, who co-authored a new study into the phenomena. However he added that "while traditional Inuit processing and cooking methods should kill the parasite, vulnerable people such as pregnant women should be 'extra vigilant' about handling and eating raw whale meat.

-- By Lee Banville
The goals of the "tea party" movement are much discussed among the punditry – reform the Republican Party, take on President Obama's healthcare plan, elect Ron Paul president. But for some tea partyers on the Western front of the movement, the mission is clear: Restore the Constitution.
Here in the "Tractor Country" community of Ronan, Mont., a group known as Calling All Conservatives is ramping up. A monthly meeting on Tuesday brought out more than 300 people.
Inside the Ronan Community Center, a couple of things are clear – mainly, it's packed. People mill about tables stacked with books to help you plan for a failure of the electrical grid. There's a sign-up sheet for the "10th Amendment Working Group" (named for the amendment reserving to the states all rights not explicitly outlined in the Constitution).
Along the far wall, folding tables crowded with dozens of potluck dishes abut a display selling the book "The Gun Laws of Montana." The people who've come out range from their late 70s to their teens and, although they chat as musicians play acoustic guitar and mandolin, they're not here just to socialize. They want to talk serious politics and debate constitutional theory.

North Bank Park is a new urban park on the north bank of the Scioto River immediately west of downtown Columbus, Ohio. North Bank is the first park developed under the Columbus Riverfront Vision Plan and sets the design and materials standards for the urban riverfront. This divided 11-acre, fully handicapped-accessible site is also the gateway to downtown for many motorists and bikeway users, and complements the rapid development of the Nationwide Arena District immediately to the north. In short, North Bank is an important link to the riverfront parks, a destination for downtown workers and an inviting amenity for the growing downtown residential population, a group underserved by the downtown park system.
LASN spoke with Keith Myers, ASLA, co-founder and principal of MSI, and John Petrushka, RLA, the project manager for the North Bank Park project As the lead consultant, MSI directed the master planning and design of all park elements, managing geotechnical, structural, civil, transportation, and environmental engineers, as well as architects and graphic designers. The client, the city of Columbus, Department of Recreation and Parks, administered the project.
Historically, the riverfront was an undeveloped open space before 1850. About that time, the railroads came to Columbus and train bridges went built across the Scioto River. The riverfront became an industrial site in the early part of the 20th century.
Today, the second generation of those heavy-trussed steel train bridges still flank the east and west boundaries of the park and inspired the designer of the park's pavilion, Acock Associates Architects, to incorporate exposed trusses and steel framework for the pivotal park structure.
Looking at the site, the landscape architects contemplate the 10-12 feet high embankment running along the river, effectively cutting off the view of the river. Clearly, a park by the river had to afford people river views. Most people assumed the embankment was a levee. It turns out the embankment was not a flood wall, nor would it function as such. It was simply the detritus from the early days of the interstate construction.
The "embankment" left room for little more than an eight-foot wide riverfront bikeway, so the first obstacle to site development was getting rid of this industrial moraine. Everyone got in on that one—the Army Corps of Engineers, the EPA and local authorities. Burgess & Niple, Ltd. assisted in obtaining permits from the Army Corp of Engineers. The environmental consulting firm, Envirotech Consultants, Inc., also assisted with the permits and developed the plan to naturalize the bank of the river.
With the embankment gone the landscape architects could envision bringing traditional park activities and amenities to the flatter open spaces.
However, more challenges awaited. The site's soil proved highly compressible, incapable of supporting standard load-bearing slabs and footings. This required the construction of about 220 auger cast piles driven 60 feet deep to support buildings and retaining walls. More unwelcome subterranean surprises awaited—numerous abandoned fuel tanks, concrete footings and slabs from old buildings. Considering the industrial activity of the site, few contaminated soils were unearthed, although there was significant sewer and electrical work affecting adjacent portions of downtown to resolve.
With those site matters worked out, commencement on the park pavilion, office, restrooms and a kitchen facility began. The project aimed to set a standard of high-quality riverfront park redevelopment throughout the downtown by selecting durable materials: brick, concrete, stone, and powder-coated steel and aluminum.
The landscape architects relate the interesting history of the limestone used on site. It is all from the massive 20-foot walls of the old Ohio Penitentiary. The stone for the prison were quarried in west Columbus by, who else, prison labor. The irony of prisoners quarrying stone for walls to keep themselves from escaping was surely not lost on the inmate laborers of Ohio. The Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus opened its doors to the incarcerated (and quickly locked them) from 1834 to 1979.
The project was substantially complete in spring 2005, officially opening in July 2005. The positive effects of the new park's presence are seen by the nearby 20-story condo tower just completed. During the latter stages of park work, the construction manager had a difficult time keeping visitors out of the park once sidewalks, the upper plaza and fountain were completed. Since its opening, the park has become a prime destination for special downtown events and daily use by nearby workers.
As residential development continues to occur in adjacent downtown districts, the park is becoming more of a neighborhood-gathering place. The annual July 4th bash, "Red, White & Boom," attracts 300,000 people to the park. The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department has had such a great demand for rental of the pavilion for private events that it had to go to a lottery-like selection process.
An air-conditioned glass pavilion anchors the terminus of Neil Avenue and is the park's centerpiece. This is the pavilion designed by Acock Associates Architects we spoke of earlier, inspired by trussed-steel train bridges seen from the park.
The overall project cost was approximately $13 million, not including land costs, consultants and permitting fees.
Keith Myers, ASLA and Timothy Schmalenberger, ASLA founded MSI (Myers Schmallenberger, Inc., msidesign.com) in 1990. The firm comprises about 65 people, with offices in Columbus, Ohio, Winter Park, Fla. and Pasadena, Calif.
Some of the firm's most recent and distinctive work includes the design of the North Bank Park (featured in this issue), Nationwide Arena District and Bexley Main Street—all in Columbus; Pittsburgh's North Shore; Florida's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, and the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando.
The firm's work has garnered many honors, including the Ohio Parks & Recreation Association's Park Development award, the Ohio Chapter ASLA Honor, Merit and Special Recognition awards and the Florida Chapter ASLA Excellence, Honor and Merit awards.

Most that follow the wine world closely, knew this day was going to come, but many, including myself would not have thought so soon. In an e-mail to subscribers today, Robert M. Parker, Jr. announced that he was handing over primary responsibility for reviewing California wines to his associate Antonio Galloni. Parker will continue to conduct vertical and other special tastings of California wine, but the regular critical coverage has been ceded to Galloni.
I first learned of this announcement this morning on a site called the Wine Cellar Insider, run by a gentleman by the name of Jeff Leve, a friend of Parker's, a wine collector and long time participant on the eRobertparker.Com bulletin board.
A little asking around got me a copy of the e-mail sent to subscribers of the Wine Advocate:
"Dear eRobertParker.com Subscriber:
I am thrilled to announce that Antonio Galloni will have expanded responsibilities for The Wine Advocate and http://www.eRobertParker.com as of February 1, 2011. I would like to take credit for my powers of persuasion over recent years in trying to convince Antonio of the virtues of covering additional wine regions, but if truth be known, the writing was always on the wall that his enviable talents and passion for this field would ultimately prevail, and the beneficiaries are the world's wine consumers.
Antonio will continue to focus on the wines of Italy as well as Champagne, but two new areas of responsibility for Antonio will include the red and white Burgundies of the Côte d'Or as well as the crisp white wines of Chablis, and the wines of California. These vast regions will benefit from the increased depth of coverage, as will all the major wine regions of the world.
Additionally, sectors that merit dramatically more attention but have not had sufficient coverage, including Beaujolais and the Mâconnais (now economically as important as the Cote d'Or and Chablis) will be put under a microscope by David Schildknecht, who will continue with his other areas of responsibility but will be freed from covering the Cote d'Or and Chablis.
I will turn to something I have long played around with in The Wine Advocate but have rarely had enough time to do. Older readers may remember the vintage retrospectives called "What About Now?" With Antonio turning his attention to California, I am going to begin a series of horizontal and vertical tastings of perfectly stored California wines that will give readers insight into how they are developing. It has been a long-term ambition of mine to include more reports on older vintages, and this change will allow me to do this not only in California, but also to increase the older vintage reports for Bordeaux and the Rhône Valley.
In all other respects, the staff assignments at The Wine Advocate remain identical. I hope all of you share our great enthusiasm for the fact that Antonio Galloni has finally taken the plunge and will be devoting most of his time to his wine writing career, a job for which he seems particularly well-suited and sure to excel.
All the best in wine and life,
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
P.S. The Wine Advocate writer assignments are:
Robert Parker - Bordeaux, the Rhône Valley, older vintages of Bordeaux, Rhône and California wines
Antonio Galloni - Italy, Champagne, Chablis, Côte d'Or, California
David Schildknecht - Germany, Loire, Beaujolais and Mâconnais, Eastern U.S., Austria,
Eastern Europe, Languedoc-Roussillon, Jura
Jay Miller - Oregon, Washington, South America, Spain
Lisa Perrotti - Brown - Australia, New Zealand
Neal Martin - Critic-at-Large overlapping all areas, plus specific reviewer of South Africa
Mark Squires - Bulletin Board supervision and occasional articles on Israel, Portugal, and Greece
My friend Elin McCoy recently penned an article in The World of Fine Wine magazine entitled "The Twilight of the Emperor," the title of which captures elegantly the clearly waning power (and impending retirement) of Robert Parker as America's foremost wine critic. Clearly Parker intends to continue working, and his coverage of Bordeaux and the Rhone will continue to be among the most authoritative around, but the announcement of full retirement seems that much closer, and it seems much clearer that if there was an anointed replacement it will be Antonio Galloni.
Many will dismiss this event as non-news, and might suggest (with some degree of truth) that Parker has been fading in influence for some time. Yet, the weight that a 95 point Wine Advocate score from Parker on top California wines has not lessened in its value or importance.
Interestingly, at least as far as my experience has shown, Galloni's palate seems to favor less intense ripeness than Parker's, and seems to be more favorably (than Parker) disposed to wines that lean more towards the idiosyncratic. The question arises, then, whether or not we will see a shift in the scoring of California wines now that they are Under New Management at the Wine Advocate. In the most extreme case, we could be looking at a shakeup of the longstanding hierarchy of California cult bottlings.
As if handling California weren't enough, Galloni now has to handle all the top wines of Burgundy as well as his existing coverage of Italy and Champagne, which will be a herculean task if there ever was one. I wish him well.
Watching the unraveling of the ParkTator critical hegemony in this country has been fascinating sport, and it's clear we're in the midst of very interesting times when it comes to American wine criticism.

Honolulu Child Custody and Support Attorney
Child Custody in Hawaii
The term "child custody" actually has two parts: legal custody and physical custody. Each type of custody is independent of the other. In other words, having a certain type of physical custody will not automatically determine what type of legal custody will be awarded, and legal custody will not automatically determine the type of physical custody that will be awarded. Some parents have sole legal and physical custody and other parents have joint legal custody but one of them has sole physical custody. In all cases, custody is based on what is in the best interest of the child. It should not be based primarily on what is fair to a parent or what is convenient for a parent. With the help of a Honolulu child custody attorney your situation can be worked out fairly and in the best interest of the child.
Legal custody refers to the right to make decisions regarding the child, including but not limited to medical, educational, and religious matters, and extra-curricular activities. Legal custody can be joint or sole, and it does not affect child support, which is linked only to physical custody.
Physical custody refers to where the child lives most of the time. Physical custody can also be joint or sole. With joint physical custody or equal time-sharing, the child's time with each parent is divided fairly evenly. With sole physical custody, the child lives mostly with one parent and with the other parent 143 or fewer overnights per year. Also, there can be sole physical custody to one parent but "extensive time-sharing" with the other parent who has the child between 144 and 182 overnight stays per year.
In most cases, when a parent has not been given physical custody, he or she receives reasonable visitation or time-sharing rights. Visitation rights are significant and enforceable rights; a custodial parent's interference with those rights, such as relocating the child to another island, the continental United States or a foreign country without the other parent's consent or a court order, can lead to negative consequences for the relocating parent. A parent with visitation rights usually pays more child support since the child has a greater economic impact on the custodial parent.
There are many factors that a court must consider when determining what type of custody and visitation or time-sharing would be best for the child. Not every factor will be given the same consideration or "weight" by the court; some factors may have more influence in a custody dispute than other factors. An experienced Honolulu custody lawyer can help you assess the type of custody that could be best for your child and, if court intervention is necessary or desired, which is more likely to be acceptable to the court.
If you and your spouse reach an agreement about custody and visitation instead of leaving it up to a judge to decide the issues, the court usually will accept your agreement. That agreement will be difficult to change later, however, if only one of you decides you do not like it. For that reason, if you have any concerns about entering into an agreement, consult an attorney before you consent orally, electronically or in writing.
Child Support
In Hawaii, child support is determined based on a standardized set of guidelines, unless the court finds "exceptional circumstances" in a particular case. These guidelines take into account the custodial parent's minimum needs and costs above his or her own living expenses, combined with the standard of living allowance ("SOLA") needs of the children. Parents are allowed to keep enough income to meet their most basic needs and to continue working. Any income above this minimum amount is to be shared by the children so that the children can receive the benefits of a parent's higher standard of living.
This complicated formula mainly takes into account each parent's gross monthly incomes, but also factors in other expenses such as child care expenses, medical costs, and any alimony payments one spouse makes to the other. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the court will not consider other living expenses such as mortgage, rent, and/or vehicle payments. Whether a parent pays child support, and how much, will depend on the relevant factors and whether there is equal time-sharing, sole physical custody or extensive time-sharing (i.e., one of the parents has the child(ren) for over 143 but less than 183 overnight stays each year). The situation becomes more complex where there is split custody, which occurs when one parent has physical custody of one or more children, and the other parent has physical custody of the other children.
Seek Experienced Legal Counsel
Because of the complexity and emotional nature of child custody and support cases, it is crucial to have experienced and dedicated legal representation. Mei Nakamoto has dedicated her career to assisting clients in these issues. She has particular experience dealing with difficult cases, including those involving domestic physical and emotional abuse of both the spouse and children and cases when parents have violated court orders and left with their children.

DNA testing of supposed Bigfoot hair samples appear to be putting a dent in the fun in the search for the creature. People have spent years searching and analyzing supposed finds, but now results from DNA testing of more than 30 hair samples indicate findings that will be disappointing to many.
According to Fox News, researchers at the Lausanne Museum of Zoology and Oxford University called for samples that were supposedly Bigfoot hair samples. Bryan Sykes from Oxford says, "I thought there was about a 5 percent chance of finding a sample from a Neanderthal or (a Yeti)," and samples from around the world were tested. Did they find anything exciting? Not so much.
Most of the Bigfoot hair samples turned out to be from bears, but a few came from humans, sheep, deer, horses, porcupine or a tapir. Granted Sykes does admit that this analysis doesn't prove that Bigfoot or the Yeti doesn't exist. Rather, it just proves that none of the samples they were sent belonged to the supposed creature.
Apparently two of the samples were a bit interesting, as they came from ancient polar bears. However, the hairs were found in areas where polar bears have not been known to live. That may indicate there is a hybrid or new type of bear species somewhere out there.
Even if Bigfoot hair samples were to surface, most experts say they would need something more than a random hair strand to believe the creature is for real. Will that ever come about? The search continues, just as it does for the Loch Ness Monster as well. Those who believe these creatures exist aren't about to give up the search, that much is clear.

Mark 1:4–11
Years ago during the Christmas season, I was in the office of the inner-city congregation I served when the intercom buzzed. "There is a young man here who wants to see you," said the secretary. I knew what that meant. There were many homeless in the neighborhood, and they all asked for money, especially at Christmas.
Galatians 4:4–7
With all of the pressures of preparing for Christmas Day—the coming and
going, the parties and presents—the Sunday following Christmas is
welcome indeed.

I was visiting the traditional site of Good Friday and Easter: the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, an imposing, exotic, heterogeneous amalgam of interconnected buildings in the Old City of Jerusalem. Oversight of the building complex is rationed out to the Greek Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Armenian Apostolic, Coptic, Ethiopian and Syrian Orthodox communions.
Luke 1:26–38; 46b–55
This month millions of families around the world will gather dutifully and joyfully for a traditional ritual meal. Around the edges of some of the more traditional gatherings—the ones where the chief chefs and hosts are grandparents or the age of grandparents—the siblings and cousins of the next-oldest generation will begin to talk together.

The way I see it we are really not given all the information. Was the victum (the guy that posted on the other forum) an innocent victum? Was he taken by surprise, or was he already involved in a heated verbal exchange? Did he have any means of retaliating? Perhaps the reason the shot took him out of the fight was simply that he didn't want to be in the fight to begin with. In other words he was stopped because he didn't want to continue.
Mindset, determination and training can have a big difference in the outcome.
That being said I wouldn't want to take a face hit from a 22 or from a BB gun, or from a pellet tossed by a 4 year old, in that order.
Thanks for the very painful info. Kinda and kick me if I seem a jerk re-enforce the whole "shot placement, shot placement, shot placement" thing.
Also getting shot sucks no matter caliber.
I know not what this "overkill" means.

More information needed. If this was shot with a .22 Rifle, the we should be comparing the damage to other Rifle calibers, not a .45 or 9mm.
If I am ever in a shootout and I am only armed with a 22 for some bizarre reason (knock on wood) I will definitely be shooting for the head and neck / high chest. I might not kill him but I will do my best to prevent and dissuade him from killing me.

I firmly believe a 200 gr hornady TAP hp would be more humane. Said writer wouldnt have felt ANY pain.
No problem, we're cool. I don't know...I've never had any dealings with anyone "drug crazed". I would think that anything that would knock you or me down, would also knock them down.This is exactly the problem with good people that carry little guns. They try to use "logic" on people that have never used it, cant spell it, or have no idea what it means.I'm just trying to apply common sense and what I call "hillbilly logic".
They also tend to think that the person that they fight with has the same pain threshold that they do and they assume that the bad guy even cares about living.
That is why people carry little calibers. They argue that they will kill someone and dead is dead,without realizing that some people dont know they are dead yet and wont stop attacking you until they quit moving. Handguns in all calibers are an iffy proposition, so you are already handicapped. Its the very reason that people fighting wars use rifles and not handguns.
Statistics show that if you have to shoot someone in self defense, more than likely they will be drunk, high on drugs or not in the right state of mind. If you have to shoot someone with a handgun, and they are messed up, you want it to do the job in a manner that stops the attack...right then, not 20 minutes from now when the guy bleeds out.
Everyone argues about shot placement. Yeah...you have got have that to work. Unfortunately what most people dont realize is that being able to shoot a nice little group at 25 yards on a target that doesnt move, dosent charge you with a big knife or isnt shooting back at you is easy and not all like shooting at someone that wants you dead, that wont stand in one spot, or uses cover, or shoots back . Its not rocket science hitting a moving target, but it does take practice, and a different sort of practice that most people dont practice.
I have seen otherwise excellent shooters, guys that could shoot little groups with pistol or rifle at ranges too far the average guy to beleive,miss each other at arms length when using force on force drills.Guys that would argue that shooting a man sized target is easy, that you couldn't hardly miss. Then you change things up about and use force on force in unkown scenarios where you have to think on your feet and react right or get shot, and all of a sudden all of those target shooting skills and techniques go right out the window. Someone that actually hunts you and wants to shoot you and it changes the dynamics quite a bit. You know that getting shot hurts, and it hurts enough that you arent going to get stupid and expose yourself.
No imagine yourself doing force on force drills with a simunitions equipped .22 going against someone with a chalked knife, or even a 9mm equipped Simunitions gun.
If you had several different pistols on a table, all of them in different calibers, like .22,25, .380, 9mm or .45 which one would you pick?
Would anyone with even an inkling of a clue pick a .22,25 or even a .380 if they knew they were going ito battle..even if it were just Simunitions and you could all laugh and joke around and talk about your exploits when it was all over?
Then why is it OK to use weenie calibers to be called upon if you have to defend yourself or your loved ones with lethal force?
It doesn't make sense does it? That it why I say that those that feel the smaller calibers or OK have unrealistic expectations. They arent carry a gun with the intent to win a battle, they are carrying the gun because it is convenient, its easy, because it is less of a hassle. They think that everyone thinks like they do, and that they will be as easy to kill as what they seen on TV where someone gets shot and instantly drops.
It only makes sense to use the most efficient tool for the job, and the little calibers are not it.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
It isn't the little calibers that attract people.... It is the little guns. Notice the trend is tiny gun larger caliber? Pistols chambered in 380 are as small as their 32 and 25 cousins. Now the trend seems to venture to tiny 9mm. Even some tiny 40 calibers are around... May even become more popular, who knows.
Pistol technology improves and so do the materials. Making those micro hand cannons possible. Pistols smaller than 380 are becoming less popular. The only reason 22 is still very popular is it is super cheap to shoot and there is almost no recoil.
There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

My wonderful neighbour gave me 2 punnets of organic strawberries the other day. They were the freshest strawberries I had ever seen, and I'm not sure if it had to do with them being organic, but there were none of the sourness that is typical with most strawberries I had tried.

Hi wiffy,
You say that this recipe will make 30 small muffins. Is the brown muffin cup a small size? What is the dimension of the cup?
hi wiffy
Thanks so much for sharing your delicious recipes. I'm a true blue noob in the kitchen and by trying out your simple-to-follow recipes for blueberry muffins and choc chip muffins, I managed to bake successfully for the FIRST time in my life! Yey!! Now I've some confidence to try out more recipes.
What's the difference between using oil and butter for muffins? Can I substitute oil with butter for the chocolate chip muffin?
Hi May, I don't have a recipe for choc chip muffins on my site, maybe it's from another site? :) So far, I have not substituted the butter in this recipe with olive oil before so I can't advise on how to substitute, sorry about that.
With the strawberry season here i was searching for a muffin recipe and found your's, I have just took out the 2nd batch! I got 23 medium muffins out of the mixture. Me and my son just tried one and Oh my goodness they are lovely! I will try Blueberry muffins next using the same recipe! Thanks :)
Hi, your muffins look delicious! I have a question – The recipe for strawberry muffin is 375g of flour or 3 cups? What measuring cups do you use? Thanks so much :) I look forward to your reply. Cant't wait to try this recipe out myself!
Hi, didn't know we can keep unfinished muffins frozen =) Can we warm them using microwave oven? If using traditional oven, what temperature & for how long do u warm them? How long can frozen muffins be kept? Sorry so many questions cos I am a noob in cooking & baking =P
I tried this recipe (half of all the ingredients). Not too bad..delicious .. I used top flour instead of plain fpour. Just happen to have balance of top flour at home.
wah looks very nice!!
Can I still bake it if I don't have a muffin baking tin, will it work if i just used the muffin cups (paper)? Heh, first attempt at baking!
can, but use the harder types like the one in the first photo (those are souffle baking cases, harder than normal paper cases). If you are only using paper cups, the muffin batter may collapse during baking.
Hello, I'm a novice at baking, may I know if can I substitute the plain flour with cake flour?

Junior Klara Vyskocilova and the No. 59 Green Wave will take on No. 46 LSU on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at the City Park Pepsi Center.
Feb. 5, 2013
New Orleans - The 59th-ranked Tulane women`s tennis team will face its toughest test of the young 2013 spring season this Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. against in-state and regional rival, 46th-ranked LSU, at the City Park Pepsi Center. There is no charge for admission to the match.
Tulane (2-1) has won back-to-back matches, including a, 4-3, win at home over Conference USA rival SMU last Friday and a convincing 4-1 win over Akron in its second match of the season. TU's lone loss was to No. 67 UC Irvine, 4-1, in the season opener at the ITA Kickoff Weekend.
"Wednesday's match against LSU is always fun but quite competitive," Tulane head coach Terri Sisk said. "These rivalries are what define collegiate tennis with the excitement that comes with every point. I know this will definitely be another challenge for us as LSU is a solid team but with that being said, we are very capable of being victorious in this test as the girls have been working hard this year and are just ready to compete and play for their fans."
In singles, senior Emma Levy (9-5) and freshman Jacqui Katz (9-2) lead the team in overall victories, while No. 118-ranked junior Klara Vyskocilova is 8-3. Seniors Caroline Thornton and Caroline Magnusson remain undefeated in dual matches with 2-0 and 1-0 records, respectively.
Tulane enters the LSU contest undefeated in doubles with a combined 4-0 record. The tandems of Magnusson and Thornton and Levy and junior Jenny Hois are each 1-0 at the No. 2 spot, while Levy and Hois and Magnusson and senior Hila Elster are each 1-0 at the No. 3 position.
LSU is 3-0 and is also coming off a 4-3 win over SMU last Saturday. The Tigers picked up wins over Northwestern State (4-3) and Southern (3-0) in their first two matches of the spring.
The Green Wave women's tennis team will play all nine of its home matches this spring at the City Park Pepsi Center. The City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center features 16 hard and 10 clay courts, a clubhouse with a pro shop, restrooms, showers and a meeting room. The facility is located off Marconi Blvd. between I-610 and Harrison Avenue. For more information on City Park Pepsi Center, please visit http://www.neworleanscitypark.com/tennis.html.

1990 - Dick Tracy released June 15 as the first 35mm feature film distributed with a digital soundtrack by Cinema Digital Sound (CDS), developed by Eastman Kodak and Optical Radiation Corp. "The system was set up in the typical Left, Center, Right, Right Surround, Left Surround, LFE channel format. CDS encoded 16-bit PCM audio in a compression process called Delta Modulation. The process is very similar to normal PCM coding, but with one major difference. PCM coding records the intensity of every sample to a zero db level. That requires 16-bits for each sample. Delta Modulation records the intensity differences of successive samples, and that doesn't require nearly as much data. The compression level of CDS ran approximately 4:1." (quote from Bobby Henderson, CDS) However, the system replaced the optical analog soundtrack without allowing any backup track for theaters not equipped with the $20,000 digital playback system. Also, theaters preferred to wait for the Dolby digital system that was compatible with an analog track.

1992 - Batman Returns premiered June 19 in 10 theatres equipped with new Dolby DA10 Digital Film Sound Processor
1993 - Jurassic Park released May 30 as the first film with DTS sound, developed by Terry Beard, founder of Digital Theater Systems in Westalke Village, CA, partly owned by Steven Speilberg and Universal Pictures. This digital sound film format records 6 tracks on separate CD-ROM disks, synchronized by an optical timecode track recorded on the film, co-existing with a backup optical soundtrack similar to Dolby Stereo.

1993 - Last Action Hero released July 18 using the Sony Dynamic Digital Sound (SDDS) digital sound film format that put 6 or 8 tracks of digital sound on 2 optical stripes on each edge of the film strip, recorded on the cyan layer beneath the other emulsion layers, using the lossy ATRAC algorithm of the Sony Minidisc technology with a compression ratio of 5:1, dynamic range of 105db and a frequency response from 5-20,000Hz. It is compatible with a backup standard optical soundtrack such as Dolby SR.

1996 - DTS trailer film for Jurassic Park: The Lost World released: "The teaser trailer, which debuted on December 13 at forty locations in the United States and two in Toronto, Canada, is driven by a modified DTS that activated six stategically placed strobe lights employed to comlement the images that appear on the screen. Using DTS technology, the timing for the strobe lights is encoded into the trailer's print, which is synched to the highly reliable DTS CD-ROM system. Audiences viewing the teaser trailer feel as if they are caught in a rainstorm complete with life-like sound and lightning provided by the strobe lights." (press release from DTS).
1996 - The English Patient was the first Oscar-winning American film with a digitally edited soundtrack, winning Walter Murch two Academy Awards for film and sound editing.
1998 - Dolby became the leading producer of motion picture sound processors used in theaters worldwide with over 50,000 sold; projector attachments such as the CP500 digital cinema processor introduced in 1995 were capable of decoding 2 of the 4 soundtracks recorded on most film prints (see chart at right from Audio).

Von Miller's legal troubles are now over. An attorney for the Denver Broncos linebacker pleaded guilty on his behalf to have two traffic violations, speeding and illegal lane change, in an Arapahoe County court yesterday afternoon. Miller is recovering from season ending knee surgery and was not present at yesterday's hearing.
These latest charges occurred in September. Miller was arrested in August for failing to appear in court for other traffic violations in October 2012. The 2012 charges include careless driving, driving without a license and no proof of insurance. Miller's legal troubles were merely the beginning of a turbulent 2013 regular season.
Miller's guilty plea had seven points deducted from his license; he must pay an undisclosed amount of fees and fines.
Miller was suspended the first six games of the regular season by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Miller continually made headlines via his run-ins with the law after the announcement of his suspension. After sitting out the first six games of the Broncos Super Bowl run, Miller tore his anterior cruciate ligament on Dec. 23 against the Houston Texans, forcing the Broncos pass rusher to sit out of Super Bowl XLVIII.
Von Miller's recovery puts him on track to start the regular season opener in early September, when the Broncos start their second consecutive run at a Super Bowl appearance.

The group that organises our Conference want to know what members made of it – what you liked, what you didn't like, what was better or worse than before. Feedback has generally been extremely positive but getting it written down will really help.
I got to go to a fantastic fringe run by Shelter Cymru on affordable housing – a campaign issue Liberal Youth is hoping to pick up this year – and discussed modular building techniques that could really deliver affordable homes, and deliver them quickly. This was something I hadn't had the opportunity to discuss or explore previously, so I was really grateful to be given the chance to do so.
Having seen Kirsty Williams' fantastic speech at Harrogate conference, I was delighted to see her speak again. She has an unshaken ambition not just for the Liberal Democrats in Wales but also for Wales itself. She painted a grim picture of how Labour is stagnant and Plaid had betrayed the people who elected them, but also offered a vision for how the Lib Dems would ensure a better future for Wales.
The highlight for me was, of course, the re-launch of Liberal Youth Wales (I.R. Cymru). A huge thank you has to go to Corey Shefman and his committee who I know have worked their socks off to get things going again in Wales. Their passion and motivation will ensure that the Welsh Liberal Democrats have a fantastic future. I also have to thank Lembit Opik MP, who did the fundraising pledge and who's been massively supportive to Liberal Youth both nationally and in Wales. Also a big thank you to Kirsty Williams, who's also been a huge support to Liberal Youth Wales and has helped ensure they have the resources they need to establish themselves.
All in all it was a fantastic conference, and I'm saving up for Wrexham now!"
If you attended conference as a corporate observer/exhibitor and want to give us (very welcome) feedback please contact ian.waltonATwelshlibdems.org.uk

How much do you agree with the following statements, scoring each one from 1 (Not At All) to 10 (A Lot) as they relate to your New Year's Resolutions?
1. I make my resolutions with life-long sustainability in mind. ____
2. I choose resolutions that I can maintain for the rest of my life. ____
3. I only resolve to change one behavior at a time. ____
4. I am comfortable listing my own self-care among my top priorities. ____
5. My daily well-being is as important to me as almost anything else. ____
6. I know that I can achieve my New Year's resolutions. ____
7. My New Year's resolutions are realistic for me to achieve. ____
8. I am ready to stop trying to achieve unrealistic goals for my body weight and size.____
9. I am ready to reject any marketing that is selling quick fixes.____
10. I know how to tailor my behavioral goals so that they meet my needs and fit into my life.___
Now write down your total score. It will be between 10 and 100. Keep reading.
Here is a women-specific, motivational and behavioral framework to help guide you to New Year's resolutions that are SMART for you. The S.M.A.R.T.™ principles below will not only help you better sustain your desired behavior but also guide you to make changes that nurture rather than deplete you. At the very end, I'll explain how to interpret your quiz score and also offer you a variety of resources for targeted assistance if you want extra guidance. The reason why my S.M.A.R.T. principles work for so many women is because they are based not only on my 16 years of research on women in midlife but also on commonsense.
SUSTAINABLE. Smart New Year's resolutions are sustainable. Smart resolutions begin with the end in mind because creating long-term sustainability is your core goal. Most resolutions don't work because they reflect a desired long-term goal but not enough foresight. Most women haven't put sufficient thought and planning into selecting a path that can be sustained for a VERY long time. If your goal is to sustain a behavior for the rest of your life (30-60 years, right?), isn't it worth taking 6 months to 3 years to REALLY learn how to do this? Logic and wisdom tell us that anything worth doing, is worth doing right.
Often, the best approach to behavior change for women is in a sequential manner. SMART New Year's resolutions take a sequential approach to behavior change. Most weight loss programs expect you to learn two vastly different and difficult behavioral changes (diet & exercise) at the same time. For most of us, our lives are just too busy and complicated to be able to integrate both diet and exercise into our lives at the same time. Because women juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, we have even less energy, attention, and time to learn and integrate both dietary changes and regular physical activity at the same time. My sequential strategy has you learn ONE behavior at time so that it can stick. And so that you can be successful. After you have had adequate time to learn how to integrate one new behavior into your life in a positive and consistent way, then you work on learning the next behavior. I advise taking at least 3 to 12 months to really learn ONE behavior.

If the Dead Rise Not (Hardcover)
Special Order
An instant classic in the Bernie Gunther series, with storytelling that is fresher and more vivid than ever.
Berlin, 1934: The Nazis have secured the 1936 Olympiad for the city but are facing foreign resistance. Hitler and Avery Brundage, the head of the U.S. Olympic Committee, have connived to soft-pedal Nazi anti- Semitism and convince America to participate. Bernie Gunther, now the house detective at an upscale Berlin hotel, is swept into this world of international corruption and dangerous double-dealing, caught between the warring factions of the Nazi apparatus.
Havana, 1954: Batista, aided by the CIA, has just seized power; Castro is in prison; and the American Mafia is quickly gaining a stranglehold on the city's exploding gaming and prostitution industries. Bernie, who has been unceremoniously kicked out of Buenos Aires, has resurfaced in Cuba with a new life, seemingly one of routine and relative peace. But Bernie discovers that he truly cannot outrun the burden of his past: He soon collides with a vicious killer from his Berlin days, who is mysteriously murdered not long afterward-and an old lover, who may be the murderer.
"If the Dead Rise Not" is everything fans have come to expect from Philip Kerr: twisted intrigue, tight plotting, quick-witted one-liners, a hang-by-your-thumbs ending, and, most significant, a richer, wiser Bernie Gunther.

About the Author
Philip Kerr is the author of many novels, but perhaps most important are the five featuring Bernie GuntherA Quiet Flame, The One from the Other, and the Berlin Noir trilogy (March Violets, The Pale Criminal, and A German Requiem). He lives in London and Cornwall, England, with his family.

It's official: Darden Restaurants is selling the Red Lobster seafood chain to Golden Gate Capital for $2.1 billion in cash, according to a USA Today article published on Friday, May 16, 2014.
Darden Restaurants, which also owns Olive Garden, was flirting with the idea of selling Red Lobster for some time. The seafood chain wasn't contributing enough to Darden's bottom line and efforts to improve Red Lobster's sales weren't working as hoped.
Red Lobster's dismal performance is easily recognized in official financial data. In the three months ending in February, 2014, Red Lobster sales declined 8.7 percent from the previous year, dropping to $611 million. Darden made several attempts to reverse the negative trends, including an expanded menu with non- seafood items to attract more customers, but efforts failed.
Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse, also owned by Darden Restaurants, have each witnessed sales declines of their own. But the declines at these two chains are smaller and upper management believes Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse can more easily turn the corner and improve.
Red Lobster first opened in 1968 in Lakeland, Florida and was the first seafood restaurant to gain nationwide prominence. The chain presently has 700 locations. The $2.1 billion cash offer works out to about $3 million per restaurant.
Shares of Darden Restaurants, ticker DRI, are down approximately 4 percent following the news, in midday trading.
