#MWC10: Next-gen FX UI for Samsung and LG devices demoed on a Nexus One
Samsung and LG – South Korea's largest phone makers – both have their own User Interfaces (TouchWiz and S-Class, respectively), which can be used combined with other OSes (Android, Windows Mobile etc).
Now, TouchWiz and S-Class don't have too many things in common, but it looks like Samsung and LG will soon use a similar FX UI that supports really nice 3D and video animations.
Said FX UI was actually demoed at MWC 2010, first on a large device with a QWERTY keyboard, and then, for some reason, also on the Google Nexus One (which, of course, has nothing to do with Samsung and LG).
Here's a video preview of the future UI (via Mobile-review):
Reportedly, the new FX UI will be used not only on phones, but also on other mobile devices, and even in car systems. Samsung and LG should launch handsets based on the new UI in late 2011. Samsung probably plans to use the FX UI on its Bada OS smartphones, while LG might use it on its Android handsets.

This one is for all my friends at Microsoft that haven't killed me (yet): The bitchslap of the week award goes to Bill Gates commenting on the $100 computer:
""If you are going to go have people share the computer, get a broadband connection and have somebody there who can help support the user, geez, get a decent computer where you can actually read the text and you're not sitting there cranking the thing while you're trying to type" Gates said."
Cranking the computer while you type? Talk about dissing your employee of the month!
So I'm going through my local Linux user group mailing list and a thread with the subject "[GoLugTech] Is this do-able in linux?" pops up. Alright, I'm intrigued if something can be done with Linux, what do you need? Are you curious too? Is that awesome or what?
There is a lot of public bashing about Microsoft Small Business Summit being a failure. From webcasts crashing to the poor application design all the way to the following line mentioned in the newsgroups:
"This has got to be the cheesiest setup ran by MS that I've seen and certainly would not make a small biz owner confident in going MS." – James Barrett
Ouch. Most of the fault here should go to the incompetent web developer Microsoft hired to put this thing together for them. I mean, when you're designing a nationwide campaign that will have broad appeal and require massive bandwidth do you trust your webmaster that can't figure out his way out of FrontPage/Dreamweaver or do you put it in the hands of people that run porn sites? No really, who do you think is more competent? Art school dropout or someone that needs to push thousands of simultaneous streams of Jenna Jameson without a nanosecond buffering pause? Nuff said. But lets stop bashing for a moment and consider what a success this has been for Microsoft and for small business everywhere. As someone that heavily promotes Microsoft SST presentations (TS2, Connections, Technet) I can tell you that the hardest thing to do is get a busy small business entrepreneur to take four hours away from their business in the middle of the day. It is down right impossible. Every single event I go to has roughly 400 invitations sent out to customers and potential customers — roughly 10-20 actually show up. Why? Time is money, and time from 8:00am – 5:00pm is even more money! I think that the idea of reaching these people over the web is absolutely brilliant. Really, I do. And despite engineering failures the site is pretty straight forward – watch the show, get the kit, find a local shop to help you with your small business technology. It looks good. Also keep in mind that this is the very first try by Microsoft to do something of this scale. Yes they have tons of LiveMeeting presentations every day but the attendance on those is dreadful – most of them have less than 30 people and the biggest one I've ever been on had just a touch over 100. They knew they could not pull this off in house, they just prospected their vendor poorly. We have all done that. Let's just try to be thankful that this event actually happened and that future ones are better. We are all trying to make small business aware of their need for stable managed networks and software and any effort on that part, no matter how poorly executed, is an A+ in my book.
I was playing an interesting game with a friend called "who is the real Microsoft partner" among registered Microsoft partners. But what, oh what, could these guys find in the Microsoft Partner Program if their primary (or secondary or tertiary) business is not software or hardware solutions? I'm sure they are all just looking for industry analyst reports… yeah, thats gotta be it! I did my little localized search for Orlando and found roughly 300+ partners, several dozen of them not even real companies. But those that are will just shock you. Please tell me what are these businesses doing in the Partner program?: bank, NBA team, health & environmental consulting services, title company, used car salesman, A/C repair shop, hotel chain, sport promoter and even a kid toy marketing firm. But don't take my word for it, take a look at these local businesses and guess why they are partners?

Judge for yourself what Microsoft is doing to its legitimate partners by allowing these organizations in the partner program. Is it fair to criticise Microsoft for apparent lack of filtering? Absolutely. They are the gatekeeper and doing a lousy job. But they are not the only guilty party here. Rest assured that businesses did not just wake up one day and try to find a cheaper way – they were guided into it by their computer guy. If you recommend action pack to your clients you are no better than a pirate.
Ok, so this is a little off-topic from what is usually on my mind but I think it would be helpful to a lot of you. Following piece was written by Dana Epp, fellow Security MVP, on the subject of commercial office space and leasing. Don't you just love it when experts are not just one-dimensional drones? Here we go: — But I would like to comment on your lease negotiations. I have had success with a few of my companies now where I used a 'step-lease' to grow my business. It works like this. You sign a short term contract (say 1 year) where you ask for a step-lease, in which you have periods of time in which the payments grow. Maybe you start out at $500/month in Q1, then $575/month for Q2, $650 for Q3 and $725 for Q4. This gives your business time to adjust for the expenses and allows the property manager to have an expected cashflow. Don't be fooled… Their job is to try to get long term tenants in the building. They will typically work with you if you have achievable goals. Give yourself an out clause. I would typically negotiate a 3 month window. This would mean at any one time, I would have to pay 3 months rent if I decided to close down operations. And if you can, get an option for a second year at the original accepted lease agreement (in your case $750). In this way, they can't hold you hostage when your 1 year term ends. I have heard horror stories of tenants coming up to their last month on a lease and being held hostage by the property manager. You don't want to be in that uncomfortable position… Worrying if you have to move your office, get new letterhead/phone numbers etc. I'd also ask the property manager if you can get the triple-net fees broken down and in writing. It isn't uncommon for "common property" rate hikes (like gas prices rising)… And you can eliminate this risk by ensuring its all in writing. You can't afford to have unknown expenses hit you when you make sure a large overhead investment. As a final note, I would suggest NOT taking on sublet tenants. You have your own business to worry about… Fretting about real estate shouldn't be one of them. You don't want to have to source tenants, collect rent and worry about extra insurance and security to deal with it. If you can't afford this space on your own… find other space. I don't see why you can't find 300sq/ft to meet your needs for a lot less than that. Of course, I don't live in your area to be able to make a judgment call on that one. Get space that works FOR you. Don't become a SLAVE to it. — How's that for some good advice??
Google Desktop is supposed to leave the beta stage and go live today. I initially got GDS for search purposes but what made me stay is the near infinite number of widgets that are developed by others – most even share the source code. Certainly something for Microsoft to take note of and excite developers for their search platform at launch. It's not all about "finding" it, its more about organizing and making it available. My GDS includes news, scratchpad, todo, quickview, weather, search and RSS from places I still browse to. So go get it. Make sure you do not enable search across workstations or Google will copy your files to their servers. Big no no!
Best Buy is now a Gold Certified Partner in addition to being trained by Harry Brelsfords books. There has been relatively little interest in this by IT consultants but having dealt with Microsoft Partners for over a decade I can tell you I'm not surprised by the lack of concern. There is always the "we're better" attitude in the low-end consulting world.. you used to know these as your local system builders, Y2K experts, webmasters, web hosting companies and support engineers. Todays flavor is "Managed Service Providers" but inevidably only the best will survive. Many shots have been taken at Best Buy and their incompetence, but if they all read all of Harry's books they will be at least as good if not better than half the partners I see out there. Make no mistake, job and wage losses due to open markets and globalization are nothing compared to what Best Buy & Microsoft can do to diminish the need for the small business consultant. But hey, its another day and probably not a big deal to you. As the famous story goes "nothing of significance happened today"…
Just a quick update on all the piracy talk we had on Vladville a little earlier last month. It seems that a number of meetings that Eric was in have taken some fruit and there is at least some stronger wording on their commitment to fight piracy. I think we'd all like to see some enforcement soon. So if you're unlicensed/underlicensed or just a plain pirate its wabbit season! But seriously, you know you are. I've got the stats here, 6% of you hit this blog searching for illegal stuff I talk about! Google tells me what you're looking for and Elmer Eric up there is your worst nightmare. Hope you enjoy jail.
Ah, today feels like 1994 with a T3 and a leech account on a warez site. Today marks one of the most exciting days for download junkies in quite some time. Endless ways to destroy your computer with poorly tested software and get the glimpse of the future! So first there is the guide that tells you just what your SBS server can do. But thats old news, how about some technology that will absolutely cripple your laptop? Susanne did just that this weekend so try it too, Office 2007 B1 is available. To be fair, they did release some stable code too, take a look at MMC 3.0 especially if you've got a religious objection to R2 and won't be upgrading. Wuss. But before you blow yourself up to smitherines, check out the Google GDrive. For those few not paranoid about Google taking their files over there is now a more manual way to do! Sarah actually has a link to the business model and to be honest, Google sounds more and more like a used car salesman as each day passes by. How do we do we do it Crazy Sergei? Volume!

Whether you have a chance to see Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and AFI perform together, or separately at an upcoming show, all three bands put on phenomenal performances. On their own, each band puts on an outstanding show. Performing together, the trio creates an unparalleled musical experience for their fans.
The three alternative rock bands are currently performing together in concerts on their Carnivores Tour in North America through Sept. 19, 2014.
At their recent performance at Jiffy Lube Live, an outdoor amphitheater in Bristow, Va., on Aug. 13, 2014, a sea of more than 22,000 fans came out to see the three bands perform at their sole appearance in the Washington, D.C. area on the Carnivores tour. AFI opened the performance, followed by the two co-headliners: Thirty Seconds to Mars, and then Linkin Park.
Announced at a press conference at Milk Studios in Hollywood, Calif. on March 4, 2014 by Mike Shinoda (rapper, vocalist, principal songwriter, keyboardist, and rhythm guitarist in Linkin Park); Jared Leto (lead vocalist, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist in Thirty Seconds to Mars); and Chester Bennington (lead vocalist in Linkin Park), the Carnivores Tour provides fans with the unique opportunity to see the two co-headliners and AFI perform at the same show.
The tour was launched in support of Linkin Park's sixth album "The Hunting Party" (2014) and Thirty Seconds to Mars's fourth studio album "Love, Lust, Faith, and Dreams" (2013).
"We share a lot of fans," said Linkin Park's Shinoda at the press conference. "A lot of fans like both bands, and AFI as well, so it just seemed like a no brainer."
"This is a dream come true," added Leto, the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman, at the press conference. "To stand on a stage in front of the Linkin Park army out there and the Mars army…I think it is going to be absolute insanity."
"To be honest when I listen to the radio and when I listen to music that's going on out there I'm kind missing a little bit of that visceral rock energy," Shinoda continued. "And so I feel like this is a great moment for these three bands to get together and bring it to the fans."
When asked about the meaning of "Carnivores" at the press conference, Shinoda replied that it's "about that visceral energy…something carnivorous, it just gives for me the feeling of something almost like animal. There is something about that in that rock, exciting rock concert energy, that just brought the name to mind."
AFI opened the show...
Alternative rock/punk rock/hardcore punk band AFI, an acronym for "A Fire Inside" performed first. Based in CA, the band has released nine studio albums, 10 EPs, one live album, and one DVD.
Formed in 1991, the band kicked off the night with a short but impressive set. AFI performed nine songs, including: "Girls Not Grey," "Love Like Winter," "17 Crimes," and "Silver and Cold." AFI concluded their performance with "Miss Murder."
Thirty Seconds to Mars rocked the arena...
Taking the stage following AFI was co-headliner Thirty Seconds to Mars, an alternative rock band famous for both its music and the extraordinary showmanship of its frontman Jared Leto, who was dressed in a white robe and wearing a crown atop his long flowing hair and beard.
Leto is also an actor and won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in the Dallas Buyers Club. Thirty Seconds to Mars has recorded four albums and by May 2003 had sold over 10 million albums worldwide. The band broke the Guinness World Records in 2011 for the most shows in an album cycle by a rock band after being on the road continuously for two and one-half years.
Thirty Seconds to Mars performed 14 songs, including five songs from their "Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams" album, including: "City of Angels" and "Do or Die." Among the other songs that the band performed were "Kings and Queens," "This is War," and "The Kill."
Dozens of giant multi-colored balloons were released into the audience during the show. It was an exceptional performance and the audience seemed mesmerized by the music…but the show was not over yet as Linkin Park went on stage next.
Linkin Park culminated the night...
Known for its rap/rock music, Linkin Park topped off the evening on a high note with a remarkable performance. An alternative rock/rap-rock/alternative metal band, Linkin Park has won two Grammy Awards and has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide.
Linkin Park performed 27 songs, including six songs in their encore performance. Their set list included four songs from their sixth album "The Hunting Party" (2014), including "Guilty All the Same," the first full song the band performed after an introductory mash-up of five of their songs. Other songs that the band performed included: "In the End," "Castle of Glass," and "New Divide."
A key aspect of Linkin Park's music is the vocal interplay between Bennington, the lead vocalist, and Shinoda, the rapping vocalist. When Linkin Park began their encore performing their mega hit song "Numb," the audience went wild, cheering and rapping/singing along in appreciation, as the fans also had many times throughout the evening. The final song of the evening was "Bleed it Out."
Upcoming Shows:

Additional future performance dates for each band can be found on their respective websites: http://afireinside.net, www.thirtysecondstomars.com, www.linkinpark.com.

What are you going to replace judgement with, when patch 4.3 hits?
Since there is no need anymore to track it i guess...
What are you going to replace judgement with, when patch 4.3 hits?
Since there is no need anymore to track it i guess...
- an easy solution would be to go 2x Holy shock...
- I could put Holy Shock alone at the center of the holy circle, delete the Holy Shock and Judgement action bars and plug Holy "stars" in the raid frame...
- the center of the UI probably needs a bigger revamp since I'm gonna get dragged into 25man raids a lot more with the LFR tool and atm the holy power and cast bar won't let me expand the raid frames downwards...
Also gonna have to rethink some Power Auras since Holy Radiance no longer has a CD...
Any idea, suggestion is more than welcome =)
Great UI Kaytemoss.
One suggestion for the judgement spot come 4.3, is to show the timer for the Judgements of the Pure. You could have that icon with a count down timer.
Been a while since I posted here. New ui since then, but most of the elements are in the same positions as last time. Love dem centered ui's <3
what I've been using
What I'm experimenting with (tellmewhen and castbars have yet to be moved)
Which seems better? imagine the same freebgrid in the last picture, below the castbar. ^^;

Aye I do not like the second set up for dps at all. But For a healer in 25man I basically only look at the grid (and my own healthframe is on it x3), bigwigs and glance down when needed at the other frames. It's been working great :3 That far down my debuffs are still closer than they'd be anchored at the minimap. The main positive bit about this set up is that I have the grid higher up and not cluttered up with the other frames.
After the patch hit I also tried to minimize my amount of addons, so forte is gone. Didn't really look at it enough to waste space on it.
Yes, new Patches are always good for sorting out stuff you don't like , I only kept forte for my mage to track int proccs and for multi dotting as firemage, but even this isn't really needed if you spred your DoT's from the main target via impact, or track them with tidyplates...maybe I'll discard it in near future.

my UI in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTb0BxSCkxY
tried to make it look like lore's ui from tankspot
TukUI with some customization. Using Grid for raid frames, and Shadowed Unit Frames for unit frames. Also visible are DBM timers (beautifully skinned), Recount (also skinned), Quartz (skinned as well), EavesDrop (SCT looking stuff on left side over chat), Prat for chat, and about 800 more that you can't see at the moment. Should mention that though while not visible, I use TellMeWhen to remind me of a few things (i.e. when innervate is off cd and I'm below 80% mana, plus when power torrent procs).
Here's mine right now:
In actionUI changes a bit with Bartender and kgPanels if I'm on my denounce spec)
A joke-song in the start of the movie, jump to 1:44 for the movie to begin.
Here's my UI in action. I've been out of game time, so I can't make a proper ss :S. This should give you a clear pic though .
It's mostly ElvUI, with a few twists of my own.
Nice Ui's

Automatic watering devices are a great way to save time and work when watering the garden, but you will need to consider the needs of your plants before you choose one. A standard sprinkler may work great for the lawn, but it won't be beneficial for your vegetable garden. Choose a watering device that matches the needs of your garden and the time you have available to water. Here are some popular ones:
Most people think of sprinklers first when it comes to automatically watering the lawn. They do save the work of manual watering, but keep in mind that they're not always the most efficient devices when it comes to saving water - oscillating sprinklers can lose up to fifty percent of water they put out to evaporation and "drift." They also don't water evenly, since more water is put out close to the sprinkler itself. A way to avoid the latter problem is to move the sprinkler around at regular intervals to ensure even watering of the entire lawn.
Soaker Hoses
Soakers can be very effective for watering flowerbeds and vegetable gardens because they let water seep out slowly over the length of the hose. This means the plant leaves never become sodden, reducing the likelihood of rot and disease. The water goes straight to the root system and very little is lost to evaporation. Soaker hoses must be left on awhile in order to really soak the roots. Be aware of your soil type when determining how long you should let your soaker hose run.
Root Watering Systems
When used properly, root feeders can be very useful for keeping trees and shrubs hydrated. The key is to be sure to place them not too near the trunk not to set them too deeply into the soil. This is because the roots most efficient in water intake reside away from the trunk and within 12-18 inches of the surface of the soil. Unglazed, earthenware jars (like our Olla Ceramic Irrigation Containers, #55724/55725) offer a low-cost, efficient and easy way to water your plants around the clock.
Self-Watering PlantersPerfect for patios, porches, balconies or even inside the house, self-watering planters make container gardening even more low-maintenance – and give you one less thing to worry about when you go on vacation. Available in a wide variety of attractive sizes and styles, these smart containers not only save you work, they prevent over-watering, too. When it comes to watering your lawn and garden, you'll need to experiment to find the method that works best for you, your lifestyle, your chosen plants and your location. Use the above information to help you find the best way to keep your garden hydrated all summer long with a minimum of fuss and expense.

American public health authorities are bracing for the arrival of chikungunya in the continental United States. Houston, TX, is among the first cities where the mosquito borne illness is expected to appear. Dr. Kristy Murray spoke with the Examiner on March 25 about a surveillance study that Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine will be conducting from April 1 to Oct. 31.
For the next seven months, a child who present at the Texas Children's Hospital emergency department with a fever and has blood drawn will have additional testing performed on their specimen. Study researchers will test for the presence of antibodies to the West Nile virus, all four of the Dengue viruses and all the serotypes of the chikungunya virus. Murray said that the tests will show if the patient is currently fighting an infection by any of the viruses, or has had such an infection in the past.
Illnesses caused by the West Nile virus (WNV), the four Dengue viruses (DENV), and the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are unrelated to each other. They share some similar symptoms but each illness has some distinct differences. Dr. Murray told us that public health efforts in the region are currently focused on the prevention of WNV illnesses.
Dr. Murray notes that 80 percent of those infected by the West Nile virus will have no symptoms. Less than one percent will have a severe illness, that can be fatal. Dengue and chikungunya may also produce infections without symptoms. Dengue can produce a hemorrhagic illness which may be fatal. Chikungunya illnesses are rarely fatal but can produce months of debilitating and disabling arthritic symptoms.
A study that Murray authored in 2010 found that there had been an outbreak of locally acquired dengue illnesses in 2003-2004 in the Houston area that had not been noticed. She also pointed to cases of locally acquired dengue along the Rio Grande in South Texas in 2013.
Chikungunya is new to the Western Hemisphere. It arrived in the islands of the eastern Caribbean in Dec. 2013, and is slowly spreading. Dr. Scott Weaver, a professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, expects that the first locally acquired chikungunya illnesses will be seen in the continental U.S in 12 to 24 months.
In Texas, West Nile virus is transmitted primarily through the bite of a female Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito. Humans are a secondary blood source for these mosquitoes who prefer to bite birds. The blood that is taken is used in the reproductive cycle of the insect. Dr. Murray says that Culex quinquefasciatus, called the southern house mosquito, is common throughout the state. Mosquito control efforts are primarily focused on eradicating this species.
Dengue and chikungunya are transmitted by two species of Aedes mosquito. Aedes aegypti is also called the Yellow Fever mosquito. Aedes albopictus, the Asian Tiger mosquito, is an invasive species that, Murray told us, was first discovered in the continental U.S., in the mid 1980s, in Houston. Both are vectors for transmitting any of the four dengue viruses from human to human. The Asian Tiger mosquito is a vector for a chikungunya serotype found in Asia and the Pacific while the Yellow Fever mosquito is the vector for the serotype spreading in the Caribbean, according to Dr. Weaver.
Both Aedes species are "aggressive day biters, Dr. Murray states. These mosquitoes also need blood to reproduce. She notes that Aedes aegypti is almost solely a human feeder while Aedes albopictus feeds on a number of hosts, including humans. Evidence suggests, she told us, that the Asian Tiger mosquito appears to be supplanting the Yellow Fever mosquito in its existing habitat.
Dr. Murray strongly believes that physicians, in and out of the Houston area, need to be educated about both dengue and chikungunya infections. The dengue outbreak a decade ago that was not detected at the time it happened is a striking argument for increased awareness on the part of the medical community. About 50 percent of the patients that Texas Children's sees in the emergency department are considered low income. Murray places those patients at greatest risk for mosquito borne illnesses, since their homes often do not have air conditioning or effective window and door screens.
The study should reveal any West Nile or dengue illnesses in the community. It will establish a baseline for pediatric illnesses that will be a useful measure of any future outbreaks. Dr. Murray says that the test will also show if chikungunya has reached the Houston area and perhaps gone unnoticed.
Kristy Murray, DVM, PhD, is the Associate Vice-Chair for Research and Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatrics, Section of Pediatric Tropical Medicine, National School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development and Director of the Laboratory for Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases.

The best Bloody Mary in Dallas isn't really in Dallas, it lives just across the city limits in Plano. The recipe for the Spicy Bloody Rosa comes from co-owner Tony Smith's grandfather. Cucumbers, jalapeños, red peppers, lemons, whole garlic, and peppercorns are added to vodka and infused for four days. Two ounces of vodka, Worcestershire sauce, olive juice, bitters, and a blend of Ballast Point and Zing Zang tomato juices are poured into a 16-ounce glass rimmed with Lawry's seasoned salt and garnished with celery, queen olives, and pickled okra.
You got a better one? Bring it. On.

Lost in this eternal nothing.
Numb and tired of waiting,
To fit in , with you.

But you don't.
You barely know me,
My family.
I wrote this cause I was feeling really down...it points out how i feel about my relationship with my family..who i love dearly but feel like they don't know me at all.

How does today's postmodernism affect the popular understanding of the atonement?
My biggest concern is the way in which the postmodern mentality is seducing the church, even the Reformed church. There seems to be a tacit assumption that somewhere around 1970, at the end of the cultural revolution of the 1960s, …Read More
How should I handle my own doubts about God's presence in my life?
This question brings to mind an experience I had early in my ministry. In fact, I'd only been ordained a few months and was teaching at a college. One church had a minister who was much loved by his congregation; …Read More
What should Christians think about evolution?
There is no single view of evolution out there. We make one distinction, for example, between macroevolution and microevolution. Macroevolution claims that all of life evolved fortuitously from a single cell—one little pulsating cell of life made up of amino …Read More
What is the significance of the shedding of blood in the atonement?
The idea that there's some intrinsic or inherent power in the blood of Jesus is a popular concept in the Christian world. It even crops up from time to time in various hymns and praise songs. This idea reflects a …Read More
How do you explain the out-of-body tunnel-like experiences many people claim to have had before being revived?
I'm not sure I can explain the so-called Kübler-Ross phenomenon. There's been a significant amount of research on this. I've heard reports saying that as many as 50 percent of those who have suffered clinical death and have been resuscitated …Read More
What is the relationship between a Christian education and a public education?
In recent years we have seen the beginnings of sectarian schools in numbers that are unprecedented in American history—save for the manifestation of parochial schools sponsored by the Roman Catholic Church. In the case of Catholic theology and practice, the …Read More
Is it being narrow-minded for Christians to say Christ is the only way?
Well, it certainly can be an expression of narrow-minded-ness for a Christian to say that Christ is the only way. I'll never forget the first time somebody asked me that. I was in college, and my college professor looked me …Read More
What should make Christian marriages distinctive?
When we talk about the difference that being a Christian makes in life, not just in marriage, we point to the reality that as Christians we are indwelt by God the Holy Spirit, who is working within us to give …Read More
In the case of a terminally ill person, who should decide when to discontinue life-support systems — to "pull the plug"?
Last year I addressed eight hundred physicians at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. I was asked to address that precise question: How you decide when to pull the plug? I was also interested to note that the largest single …Read More
What about debt? Should Christians use credit cards, borrow money for cars, homes, vacations, etc.?
There's a great controversy within the Christian church about that question. Some people take the position that under no circumstances should a Christian encumber himself in financial indebtedness, quoting such passages as "Owe no one anything except to love one …Read More
May a Christian married couple practice birth control?
I presume you mean by that artificial methods of birth control. That's one of those issues in Christian ethics where there is a seriously divided house in the history of the church. The Roman Catholic Church, as you are aware, …Read More
Is the celebration of Christmas a pagan ritual?
That question comes up every year at Christmastime. In the first place, there's no direct biblical commandment to celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25. There's nothing in the Bible that would even indicate that Jesus was born on …Read More
What do we need to know about a church before we attend, and what do we need to know before we become a member?
Before we attend a church, we should know that it is a legitimate church. Now, obviously, if the sign on the front of the church reads "Church of Satan," we know it isn't a legitimate body of Christian believers. But …Read More
What can Christians expect from God in regard to healing?
I don't know how many times I've seen on the walls of pastors' studies or in Christian homes the little sign, Expect a Miracle. If a miracle is something we can expect, like we expect the postman every morning, it …Read More
How is it just that all humanity is born into sin because of Adam's fall?
I think the New Testament does teach that the whole world is born into the consequences of a fallen nature because of the sin of Adam and Eve. The New Testament repeats this idea frequently—"that through the disobedience of one …Read More

Check out this digital album that's a collaboration between the minds of the super talented Ben Folds, Damian Kulash (of OK Go), Amanda Palmer, and Neil Gaiman. Nighty Night ($1-?) is the product of one night's work (12 hours) and it's probably the best thing ever invented. 8in8 (what these geniuses are calling themselves) uploaded their stuff onto the internet and said, "Hey world, buy this 6 song album for as little as one dollar or as much as you think it's worth!" Bah, how cool, huh?
Actually, everything after $1 goes to charity.

A quick guide to what to look out for when buying a telephoto zoom lens for your camera.
Zoom range
A 50-200mm lens will give you an effective zoom range of 75-300mm, whereas a 70-300mm model provides a more powerful telephoto reach of up to 450mm.
Image stabilisation
Not all lenses have optical stabilisation, though many of the latest Nikons, Sigmas and Tamrons offer it equivalent to four stops, for sharp handheld shots.
Autofocus motor
Standard electric motors are often quite noisy and slow. Ultrasonic ones are quieter and faster, while ring-type ultrasonic systems are the fastest, and nearly silent.
Shutter release
A shutter release prevents you destabilising the tripod when you press the shutter and with prices under £30, there's really no excuse not to get one. If you don't have one to hand, you can try using the self-timer – just be prepared to make several attempts if the lighting conditions change.
Maximum magnification
At their closest focus distances, the Sigma 70-300mm APO and Tamron 70-300mm AF lead the way with a 0.5x macro facility. The maximum magnification of other lenses in the group is about 0.25x.
Maximum aperture
The largest aperture on budget telephoto lenses is usually f/4 or f/4.5 at the shortest focal length, reducing to f/5.6 at the maximum zoom setting.
Sensor type
Nikon FX, Sigma DG and Tamron Di lenses are fully compatible with both full-frame and APS-C camera bodies. DX, DC and Di II lenses are designed specifically for APS-C cameras and produce smaller image circles.
Shooting tips
Fit a filter
When you're shooting into the distance with a telephoto, haze in the atmosphere can degrade your photos. A UV filter can help, and will also protect the front lens element from scrapes and scratches. Check the filters size before you buy.
Use the lens hood
All the lenses on test come complete with a hood. With telephoto shots, these can greatly reduce ghosting and flare. Lenses that use internal focusing have petal-shaped hoods, reflecting the fact that their front element doesn't rotate.
Normal vs Active VR
Some Nikon lenses feature Normal and Active modes in their Vibration Reduction system. Normal is for regular use, while Active is meant to be used when you're shooting from a vibrating platform such as a moving train or car.

Retailing nail strengtheners is good for your clients' nails and increases your earnings.
We all love acrylic nails, but there are still a lot of techs out there who aren't following proper application procedures and are doing real damage to clients' nails. Aside from doing acrylics well yourself, here's how you can help clients who have suffered damage from poor application. Donna Louis, director of marketing at Olan Labs, instructs on how to sell clients on some nail strengthening products to repair acrylic damaged nails.
"Get back to basics and focus on a good, nurturing manicure with a little extra massage from the elbow to fingertips. Add a coat or two of a nail strengthener to protect and reinforce thin, weak nails, followed by two coats of a light blush color polish, and a fast-drying top coat.
Well-manicured nails and cuticles will help make the transition from acrylics to natural nails easier and more acceptable for your clients as they adjust to the new look.
Then you can retail at-home treatments like cuticle oils, creams, nail strengtheners, and top coats. This will not only increase your earnings, but will also educate your clients on how to maintain their nails between appointments. They will not only appreciate your professional advice, but they'll look forward to their next appointment."

GOLDEN – For the second time in as many days, the No. 23 Colorado School of Mines volleyball squad upset a nationally-ranked opponent, this time No. 18 Regis, by a 3-1 score at Lockridge Arena in Golden.
Mines (8-4, 3-1 RMAC) used better than 60 percent sideout rates in all four sets, including a 71 percent mark and a .346 team attack percentage in a 25-13 win in the opener.
Mines captured set two by a 25-23 final in a set that featured six kills and a .417 attack percentage by senior and returning All-American Jackie Stabell. Mines also posted five total blocks in the set and limited Regis (8-6, 2-2 RMAC) to just a .091 attack percentage.
Regis made a comeback attempt and took the third set by a 25-20 score, but Mines would finish strong with a blistering .520 attack percentage and 69 percent sideout rate in racing to a set-four win, 25-10.
The fourth set saw Mines post a 12-to-0 run that took the score from 9-8 in favor of Mines to 21-8 – all under the serve of sophomore Sarah Pekarek.
Just as Friday night's 3-1 win over No. 10 Metro State, the the final two points of the match were clinched first on a kill by junior Melanie Wannamaker, and second on a block by Wannamaker and a teammate. On Friday Pekarek and Wannamaker combined to close out the match, but on Saturday, Wannamaker and Stabell worked together to move Mines to 3-1 in the RMAC.
Stabell led the offense with 19 kills on a .350 attack percentage while adding five digs and six total blocks defensively during the match.
Fellow senior Holly Hutchison added 11 kills on a .381 attack percentage and sophomore Laura Beckmann notched nine kills on .292 hitting to lead the Orediggers to a .299 team attack percentage.
Freshman Danielle Johnson-Hazlewood notched 44 assists for a total of 91 over the last two matches, while Wannamaker and Pekarek led the defensive effort with nine blocks and 16 digs, respectively.
Mines will close out its four-match homestand on Tuesday when it hosts South Dakota Mines in a nonconference tilt at Lockridge Arena in Golden at 6 p.m.

the skills don't exist within your organization to make it happen.
It is safe to assume that any software will require support at some time or another. Commercial software vendors usually provide support for their products. With open source, support options can be less clear. Some open source projects have spawned companies which specialize in providing support but if a company doesn't exist to specifically support a specific open source application, it is important to factor in the true support costs.
Large open source projects often have large communities of users who work to answer questions and address issues. But, in most cases, interacting with the community is most efficient when someone with technical knowledge is asking the questions. So, when making decisions about how to handle support, your planning should include having someone on staff or under contract who understands the product and who can, as needed, interact intelligently with the online community.
Particularly for government agencies, training is an important issue to consider when selecting software. Again, training on open source software is often available from traditional training companies -- at least for popular or large open source applications. But for smaller applications, no formal training may be available. This problem can be compounded by the tendency for some open source applications to focus more on functionality and performance than on user interface. For technologists, the functionality and performance is key and the user interface is something that can be adjusted or "lived with." But for end-users, the user interface is the application.
The intelligence and usability of the navigation, the quantity and quality of online help and access to solid training materials or classes can have a greater impact on application adoption than the application's features. As with support, open source projects often have online training and frequently there are community members who dedicate themselves to helping with documentation and training. But, the safest route for an agency is to have on staff someone with technical knowledge of the application and an ability to train others to fill in the training gaps when needed.
With commercial software products, it is possible to examine the financial health of a company to make a determination about whether the company might be around in five years. With open source, the same evaluation needs to be done but there's often no company to examine, just an online community that is supporting and developing the application. The size and activity of that community may be part of the evaluation, the number of installations of the software may figure into it and the general media buzz about it can also be a factor. The point is the evaluation of viability and longevity is at least as important to do for open source software as for commercial, but the ways to evaluate the software are different.
None of this is to say that commercial software should necessarily be preferred over open source. Open source software provides great possibilities and in some cases is the preferred solution. But it does mean that agencies shouldn't make the mistake of equating "open source" with "free." Total cost of ownership" may be less with open source in the long run, but it is not "free" and each case needs to be evaluated against the business purpose, the availability of ancillary services and the level of in-house expertise available with lots of emphasis on what in-house skills are available.
Open Source Definition
"Open source" in its strictest sense refers to the availability of the original work done by an application's developers. But, there are other aspects of what "open source" means in terms of application licensing. Applications are written by developers in a language that is readable by humans. It may require

End Back Pain Permanently
The really unfortunate thing about back pain is that once you are affected with it, it can be a nagging injury that just doesn't go away. You really must start to take a number of steps in your everyday lifestyle along with your training in order to get rid of this pain.
Below are the top things you should do to end back pain permanently.
Strengthen your ab musclesPotentially, the best exercise you can do when it comes to both preventing and healing from a back injury is strengthening your abdominal muscles.
The abdominal muscles are what hold the whole pelvic girdle in place to help align the spine properly and prevent any awkward twisting motions. When your abdominal muscles are weak, they won't be able to handle the various motions you place on your body or, worse, you could start to see an unnatural curvature to your spine.
Be sure that when you choose your abdominal strengthening exercises (there are a variety out there that will be effective), that you really focus on contracting the ab muscles specifically. These tend to be exercises where it is far to easier to "cheat" your way through by using momentum or your arm muscles to help perform the lift rather than the ab muscles you're trying to target.
For some people, it helps to place their tongue on the roof of the mouth. This small adjustment can actually help take some of the strain off their neck while they perform abdominal strengthening movements, thereby directing it more toward the ab muscles where they want it most.
Additionally, if you really want to prevent your use of momentum to help you with the lift, consider hanging upside down from a pull-up bar and performing the sit-up in this manner. Pay attention to control the speed with which you are curling up; the slower, the better, and you will definitely be fully utilizing those ab muscles.
Pay particular attention to your form during the military pressWhen doing a military or shoulder press as part of your upper-body workout, always think to contract the glute muscles so that your lower-back area stays straight. It's very common with this exercise to sway slightly as the weight gets hoisted over your head, and when you're in this type of position with the overhead weight acting as a force downward, the pressure on the spinal cord can become very great. By contracting the glutes, you force the spine into alignment, curtailing any chances of becoming injured. It will help end back pain permanently if you perform this exercise regularly.
We give you even more tips to end back pain permanently...

Provincial Health and Safety legislation requires that Memorial ensure the health and safety of its employees and students. All students enrolled in chemistry courses will be exposed to chemicals and therefore are required to complete WHMIS/Laboratory Safety Training using the Desire2Learn system at CITL (http://www.distance.mun.ca/). Students who successfully complete the training must print the certificate showing that the program was successfully completed and must show it to their laboratory instructor at their first laboratory session of all of their chemistry courses.
In order to have access to the online course, students must first register for SFTY 1000 (CRN: 57267), through Memorial Self-Service. No tuition is charged for this course. Students can then log into Desire2Learn with their my.mun.ca login ID and access the courses; access will be available within 24-48 hours of completion of the registration. Students must provide verification that they have successfully completed the WHMIS and Laboratory safety courses to their lab instructor or supervisor prior to the start of laboratory classes.
Get more information at our WHMIS online course information page
Chemistry Laboratory Safety in Teaching Labs
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Clothing Regulations
(December 2012)
(December 2012)
- Approved safety glasses or goggles MUST be worn at all times in the laboratory. Safety glasses or goggles must be worn over prescription glasses. Contact lenses MUST NOT be worn in the laboratory.
- An approved (knee length) lab coat must be worn at all times and must be buttoned up. Safety goggles and lab coats can be purchased at the bookstore.
- Clothing that exposes large areas of skin to contact with chemicals, e.g., shorts, leggings, etc., are not allowed. Leg coverage (regular pants) should be to the ankle.
- Shoes that cover the entire foot must be worn. Open-toed shoes, flip flops, ballet slipper-style shoes or sandals MUST NOT be worn.
- Baseball caps should be worn backwards and long hair must be tied back. Jewellery that dangles should be removed.
- Eating and drinking are NOT PERMITTED in the laboratory.
- PPE should not be worn in public areas (i.e., halls, offices, washrooms, etc.).
- You should know where safety equipment (fire extinguishers, safety showers, eye wash fountains, etc.) is located in the laboratory and how to use it. You should also familiarize yourself with the quickest exit route from the laboratory and from the building in case of emergency evacuation. Read the safety information given in the laboratory manual for each course.
Laboratory Safety Enforcement
Students will not be permitted in the laboratory if any of these safety regulations are not followed. If the student remains noncompliant he/she will receive an unexcused absence.
If a student later defies the safety rules during the laboratory period the student will be asked to leave and receive a mark reflective of the work completed to that point.
In the case of students who are taking their first ever chemistry laboratory at MUN the clothing requirements can be relaxed (for their 1st lab only) if they are not able to change clothing/shoes. However PPE will be strictly enforced. Goggles are available at the stock rooms for sign out during the lab period.

How to Prove You Have Leadership Qualities
Leadership is an intangible asset that usually cannot be showcased through medals or plaques, as athleticism or aesthetic talent can. However, it is essential for the operations of any organization and corporation as well as for the successful completion of any project. If you know you've risen to the occasion to lead a group to success, but are not sure about how to best present those achievements to demonstrate that you are qualified for other leadership positions, continue reading this article.
1Identify your leadership style. You need to know what kind of a leader you are before you can prove to others that you can head a team or project. This requires that you understand your dominant personality traits, relative strengths and weaknesses, and core values.
- Think about what the other complimentary personalities you work well with. This, in turn, should reflect your individual role in projects. Knowing your weaknesses also helps you realize what other personalities you should keep around to fill in those holes in a group.
- Think about what your go-to strategies for motivating others are. How hands-on or hands-off are you in managing progress? How would you resolve disputes and conflicts?
- If you already know you are a leader, chances are that's because you've had informal experiences where you've demonstrated such initiative (e.g., classroom projects, club meetings, volunteering work, etc.) Reflect on what you've done in the past by analyzing the role you played, how you were motivated to adopt that role, and what impact you had on the project overall. Doing some self-reflection and creating a list of examples that you can draw from will go a long way towards showing, not telling, other people that you can lead.
2Review your resume and mark the experiences in which you have demonstrated leadership. Practice explaining each accomplishment in a few sentences, so that you can concisely demonstrate your impact on groups to an audience. This will also be a good chance for you to think about potential references whom you can contact and ask to speak on your behalf. If other professionals are recommending you for a particular leadership position, you will seem much more qualified for the job.
3Think about how your skills and past experiences will allow you to uniquely contribute to an upcoming project, specifically with respect to leading and organizing the project. Start by identifying possible needs and goals of the project. Then connect your ideas and traits to those objectives. Be as specific as possible in how you will benefit the organization, so that your audience can envision you in a leadership role.
- Example: As the editor-in-chief of an online school newspaper, one of my roles was serving as a liaison between our website and the four other school publications that hosted the online version of their publication on our websites. This required that I oversee the development of a content management system that could be exported to various publications and easily trained to staffs totaling over a hundred journalists. Thus, I met with the editors of each publication continually to understand what functions they needed on their websites as well as with our webmasters to make a plan for implementing those features. My exposure to such a high level of communication and coordination ensures that I will be well-prepared to serve as this corporation's communication coordinator. Not only will I keep everyone organized and on-track for completing their tasks, but I will be able to envision the big-picture progress of our project until its completion.
4Approach the supervisor or hiring manager and set up a meeting with them to talk about a potential future role that you'd like to play in the company. Presumably, you would like to prove to them that you have leadership qualities in order to assume a greater executive role. Be respectful and humble, but also confident and firm. You want to do an honest and accurate job selling yourself to the company and pitching your skills, but you also do not want to come off as arrogant or overly presumptuous.
- It's important to keep track of your contributions to a company. At the right moment, you'll want to ask for promotions when you deserve them based on your tangible results. Your boss has a lot to worry about on his or her plate and potentially many other staff members to keep track of, so your accomplishments may be overlooked. You should not hesitate to be your own advocate when the time is right, but you do want to be careful about asking for too much too often. Avoid rubbing your boss the wrong way.
5If you achieve the desired leadership position, make sure you follow through with what you promised! For a supervisor, there's nothing worse than buying into how an employee sells him or herself and then failing to meet expectations and producing the promised objectives. Receiving a leadership position means that you now have a new opportunity to prove yourself to everyone else, and you should take full advantage of that by putting 100% effort in. Failing to do so means that you lose the trust of your colleagues and supervisors and may jeopardize future opportunities.
Community Q&A
- It's also important that you are likable in order to not rub others the wrong way when showcasing your leadership skills. Treat everyone in a friendly manner and get on good terms with as many of your colleagues as possible. A little kindness goes a long way.
- Not everyone is naturally a leader, so make sure you are evaluating yourself honestly when you're envisioning a future role for yourself. You'll want to find a position that you are the most suited for to maximize your happiness from doing work and your chance of success.
- Always attempt to be humble and respectful. You may have made some incredible accomplishments, but so have your colleagues and supervisors. You're not necessarily trying to convey why you're better than everyone else, but rather how your unique set of experiences qualifies you for a specific leadership position.
- Interpersonal relations are difficult to predict and can often be the subjective deciding factor in promoting leaders. Don't feel discouraged if you don't succeed in one place because it could just mean that you are not a good fit because of the existing group members, not that you are inherently an inadequate leader.
- If you are denied your desired position, don't fight the rejection and continue to be annoyingly persistent. If you don't think your boss's reasons were valid, consider switching to a different group or department (if you can do so without instigating awkwardness) or to a different company entirely.

Hearthside — The House That Love Built
Located just to the north of Providence in Lincoln, Rhode Island, Hearthside is a unique stone mansion built in 1810 on pastoral Great Road, the first road through the wilderness between Providence and Mendon, Massachusetts, and one of the oldest thoroughfares in America.
Hearthside is beautifully preserved and had been a private residence until 1996, when the Town of Lincoln purchased the property. In 2001, a group of citizens formed "Friends of Hearthside", a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to serve as stewards of the house and help preserve the property, while promoting its historical significance and accessibility to the public. Now an award-winning museum, Hearthside House is open frequently for guided tours, special events and exhibits, as well as by appointment for group tours. For a schedule of openings, please see our Events section.
Hearthside has been noted as one of the finest examples of early 19th century federal-style houses in the state, and it is on the National Register of Historic Places. The unique 2 ½ story house is built of fieldstone, which was rare in dwellings at that time. Its design includes a gable roof with impressive ogee curves above circular attic windows. There are 10 fireplaces in the 10-room home, hence the name " Hearthside. " Hearthside has become known as "The House That Love Built" because of the romantic history behind the building of this beautiful house by Stephen Hopkins Smith.
Designated as a Preserve America Community, the Town of Lincoln has made a significant investment in the preservation of the Great Road Historic District, which contains several historical gems. The Friends of Hearthside joins in this commitment to preserving Great Road for heritage education, tourism and recreation. Our stewardship has extended to include the neighboring Town-owned properties of the Hannaway Blacksmith Shop, Chase Farm House and Moffett Mill.

"A veteran is a fellow citizen, an ordinary person who at one significant point in his or her life made out a blank check payable to the United States of America for any amount up to and including their life."
The author of these words is anonymous, but his or her understanding of the commitment made by our veterans is clear, concise and meaningful to anyone who ever wore the uniform of our armed forces.
These veterans took an oath on enlistment in which they said, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Our veterans swear this oath to neither king nor state. Our men and women in uniform swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, a document encompassing the vision of liberty and the rule of free men under law — a radical concept for some, even today, but one that has kept America free and strong and a beacon of hope for people around the world for more than 200 years.
Our veterans' bravery, their resourcefulness and their patriotism, mark them as America's finest citizens, Americans who stepped out of the crowd and swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. They served under our flag and in allegiance to these words, for which some bled, and others died.
Some veterans count their service as the time when they were at their very best, and in some cases struggle to find that standard of service during the rest of their lives. While still others count their time in the armed forces as the standard that set the principles, values and ethics that dictated how they would live the rest of their lives.
No matter how our honorably discharged veterans and their families were affected by their military service, the fact remains that they did not serve for glory, or power, or wealth — but for freedom. A simple recognition of service well performed — a sincere thank you — means more to most veterans than any other reward.
I wish all Oregonians a safe and rewarding Veterans Day 2010. And to all veterans, thank you for your service.
